Chapter 551 Outside Ye City
"Let's die." Seeing that Guan Hai could get out of his calculations, Han Meng did not retreat. He crossed his heart and flashed forward. The long knife in his hand flashed straight to take Guan Hai, and he also held the determination to put Guan Hai to death.
"When" the two people's long knives hit each other and made a harsh sound, and the two retreated one after another. Han Meng only felt that his arms were numb in an instant. At this time, Guan Hai came up again and cut it off with a knife. Han Meng hurried to stop it again, but there was no obstruction. With a "dang" sound, Han Meng's tiger's mouth cracked in an instant, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground. The long knife in Guan Hai's hand increased its strength again, and it split down from Han Meng's head, leaving a blood stain on Han Meng's forehead.
"I can't imagine that I have done everything, and I will die under your knife after all." Looking at Guan Hai in front of him, Han Meng finally sighed.
"Gan Hai, let's go back quickly and don't let Yuan Shao run away." Seeing that he saved Guan Hai. After killing Han Meng again, Gao Shun was immediately relieved, but he immediately thought of another thing, that is, Yuan Shao. Han Meng led himself and Guan Hai here, which undoubtedly created an opportunity for Yuan Shao to leave.
"Father, we are under the enemy now, and we can't support it anymore. Let's retreat." Seeing that Han Meng could not stop Gao Shun's people, the current situation was very unfavorable to his side. Yuan Tan said anxiously to Yuan Shao. At the same time, as soon as he waved his hand, many personal soldiers came to protect Yuan Shao and wanted to leave.
"Hey" Up to now, Yuan Shao just sighed. He only felt that his heart was hot and his blood was surging, and he was about to faint. He was set up by a group of soldiers and fled to the distance.
As Yuan Shao began to retreat, the whole Yuan Shao's army collapsed in an instant, and all the people and horses began to flee, while Lv Bu's army launched a siege.
"Where is Yuan Shao's second brother going?" Yuan Tan was retreating with Yuan Shao. Suddenly, he heard a shout from the slash. Then he saw a team of people coming out. The first person was not someone else but Wei Xu.
"Damn, take my father with you quickly." Seeing Wei Xuxing coming, Yuan Tan quickly protected Yuan Shao's way. At this time, the general trend was gone. Yuan Tan only had the only thought in his mind, which was to leave here as soon as possible.
"Master, don't panic, Xiahou Dun will come." At this time, there was a team of people rushing out of the thorns. The first one was one-eyed, and it was Xiahou Dun. It turned out that after Xiahou Dun broke out from the siege of dozens of wolf knights, he already knew that Yuan Shao had no chance in this battle, so he did not entangled with the wolf horse, but came to Yuan Shao's side and happened to meet Yuan Shao running away.
"Grandma, Xiahou Dun, you bereaved dog, you dare to hinder my good deeds." Wei Xuben thought that he could see a big bargain when he saw Yuan Shao, but he didn't want to kill a Xiahou Dun halfway. He was immediately angry. Although Wei Xu knew that his force was not Xiahou Dun's opponent, it was inevitable to fight with Xiahou Dun.
"Pifu, dare to do this, eat me with a knife." Hearing Wei Xu say that he was a bereaved dog, Xiahou Dun also suddenly became really angry. A one-eyed boss flew around with a long knife in his hand and went straight to Wei Xu.
"It's good that I caught up, otherwise I would regret it." At this moment, a rough voice came, but Guan Hai and Gao Shun rushed over and just blocked Yuan Shao's way. As soon as they saw Yuan Shao in front of him and the soldiers beside him, Guan Hai suddenly couldn't close his mouth with laughter.
"Yuan Shao, stay here today." Seeing Yuan Shao, Gao Shun's eyes suddenly glowed and he immediately said.
"Ha ha, God's will, God's will, God wants me to die here today." Seeing Gao Shun and Guan Hai appear, Yuan Shao knew that it was difficult for him to get out today, with a bleak smile on the corners of his mouth.
"Do not hurt my lord, a certain family will come." At this time, as soon as the voice came behind him, everyone looked back and saw a figure full of blood appearing after the crowd. This person was none other than anyone else, but Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou.
"General Wen Chou, it's good that you're still alive." Seeing Wenchou appear, Yuan Tan suddenly felt that he saw hope.
You should know that today's battle Wen Chou can be said to have gone through hardships. First, he led the troops to attack the city and fought with Xu Chu, and then led the troops to run away and fought with Zang Ba. After a lot of hardships, he escaped a life. However, Wen Chou still thought about Yuan Shao's safety and came all the way and happened to meet Yuan Shao in danger.
"General Wenchou came at the right time. You and I will protect the lord to break through." Seeing that the situation had become complicated, Xiahou Dun no longer trembled with Wei Xu. He abandoned Wei Xu and protected Yuan Shao and said, "A certain family is responsible for opening the way. Please ask General Wen Chou to be behind the palace."
After saying that, Xiahou Dun's long knife flew to meet Gao Shun and Guan Hai, and wanted to block the two to one side and kill a bloody road for Yuan Shao.
"Huh, do you seem to be blocking us alone?" Seeing that Xiahou Dun was killed, Gao Shun and Guan Hai were both under pressure. They finally blocked Yuan Shao. How could they make Yuan Shao leave so easily?
"With me, it's enough to deal with you." At this time, Wen Chou also appeared beside Xiahou Dun. The two of them happened to protect Yuan Shao one after the other and rushed out together.
"Kill me, don't let any of them go." At this time, there was nothing to say. Gao Shun waved his hand, and the weapons of both sides killed each other.
"Master, go quickly. Just leave it to us here, and it will change later." Seeing Gao Shun's great momentum, Wen Chou quickly stood up, blocked Gao Shun and others, and let Yuan Shao escape.
"Two generals, I'll leave it to you." Yuan Tan did not hesitate and turned around and took Yuan Shao away.
"Your Excellency, this battle can be said to be a complete victory. The only drawback is that you can't catch Yuan Shao alive, otherwise it will be more perfect." Looking at the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, Cheng Yu said to Lv Bu above the tower.
"I'm afraid that even if Yuan Shao escapes back, he will only have half his life left." Hearing the idiom, the corners of Lv Bu's mouth tilted up slightly, showing a smile, and said thoughtfully.
"The Prime Minister is right. My subordinates have seen Yuan Shao on the road. His situation is very bad. I'm afraid he is in a hurry. I think the day of the deadline is not far away. At this time, only one voice came, but Gao Shun also came to the tower at this time.
"I don't know which direction Yuan Shao fled?" Seeing Gao Shun coming, Guo Jiaruo asked thoughtfully.
"It should be in the direction of Youzhou. It seems that Yuan Shao wants to return to Jizhou through Youzhou." Gao Shun recalled slightly and said to Guo Jia.
"Haha, in this case, I will congratulate the general." Hearing Gao Shun's words, Guo Jia suddenly laughed and said.
"Oh, where does the joy come from?" After being said by Guo Jia, Gao Shun was a little stunned. He couldn't figure out what he was happy about Yuan Shao's going to Youzhou.
"Ha ha, Yuan Shao chose to flee to Youzhou instead of returning to Jinyang, which shows that Yuan Shao has no confidence in Jinyang's defense and believes that Jinyang is not enough to protect him. It seems that the general will soon be able to capture Jinyang and regain control of Bingzhou. Isn't this a gratifying thing?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"So, thank you for your good words." For Guo Jia's words, Gao Shun felt very reasonable. If it hadn't been for Jinyang's real lack of troops, Yuan Shao would not have gone to Youzhou.
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Lv Bu said with a smile.
"Please rest assured, the Prime Minister. The young one will go back to rectify the soldiers and attack Jinyang." With that, Gao Shun saluted Lv Bu and turned away.
"Your Excellency, now that our army has won a great victory, it is time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely solve Yuan Shao." Seeing that the matter was over, Cheng Yu came forward and suggested to Lv Bu.
"What do you think of Feng Xiao?" Lv Bu did not answer directly to Cheng Yu's proposal. Sometimes Lv Bu also wanted to clean up Yuan Shao's power at once, but he felt that it was not so easy, so he wanted to hear Guo Jia's opinion.
"Although Yuan Shao was defeated, his strength is still there. It's not a simple thing to take Hebei in one go. Why don't the Prime Minister take Jizhou first and then make a plan?" Contrary to Cheng Yu, Guo Jia obviously does not advocate chasing and beating Yuan Shao.
"The soldiers are sent to Jizhou. Let's go to Xu You first." Half a sound, Lv Bu finally made a decision.
A few days later, Lv Bu's army appeared outside Ye City. As soon as Lv Bu camped, Xu You came over, with a man behind him. This person was not someone else but Zhen Hu.
"See the Prime Minister, my subordinates have discussed with the Zhen family. Taking advantage of the relationship between the Zhen family in the army, they will open the west gate of Ye City tonight, and then the Prime Minister's soldiers and horses can enter directly." As soon as he saw Lv Bu, Xu You quickly came forward and said.
"You did a good job. Thank you for your hard work this time." Hearing Xu You's report, Lv Bu nodded with a smile, poured a cup of tea for Xu You, and waved him to sit down and drink tea.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. You're welcome." Seeing that Lv Bu smiled so much, he quickly leaned over. You should know that Lv Bu, as the first person of the Han Dynasty, rarely made tea for others. Xu You had this honor, which shows that Xu You did a good job this time.
However, as soon as Xu You sat down, he immediately seemed to remember something. The person behind him said to Lv Bu, "This is the son of the Zhen family. His name is Zhen Hu. He is bold and knowledgeable. He is a rare talent. He hopes to work for the Prime Minister."
"The boy Zhen Hu has met the Prime Minister. He has long heard that the Prime Minister is powerful. Today, he really lives up to his reputation." Seeing that Xu You recommended himself to Lv Bu, Zhen Hu quickly saluted.
"I heard about what you did in Weijun. I didn't expect that you were doing business for generations, but you were a martial artist." Although in the Han Dynasty, the status of merchants and warriors was not high, and merchants were ranked at the end, Zhen Hu was overjoyed when he heard Lv Bu's words. Lv Bu could say these things, which showed that Lv Bu paid attention to himself, which was naturally a great honor for Zhen Hu.
"When I come here this time, it is actually on behalf of the Zhen family to help the Prime Minister unify the world. The little meanings of the Zhen family are all put in the house of Ye City. Please accept it with a smile." With that, Zhen Hu handed over a gift list respectfully.
"It's polite to broadcast Zhen's statement far away." With that, Lv Bu waved his hand and asked people to give gifts to his subordinates. Although he knew that the Zhen family would not be stingy, Lv Bu's current strength was much stronger than that of the Zhen family. It's no longer the Lv Bu who worked hard for his money and food. Naturally, he valued these gifts of the Zhen family too much. As for the reason why the Zhen family will accept Xu You's instigation and turn to himself, Lv Bu sees it very clearly. Since Lv Bu's administration, although he has suppressed many powerful people, Lv Bu attaches great importance to commercial development, which is more than any era. This makes those businessmen who think their social status is too low to see hope that only Lv Bu can unify the world and their merchants can truly achieve both fame and fortune.
