The Liaodong army was like this, making Tan Shihuai and the others dumbfounded. How could their allies who had just been fighting against the enemy together now abandon them without a fight? It really made people speechless, and made Tan Shihuai very angry. ah!
What made Tan Shihuai even more angry was that at this time, Ma Dai and Ji Ling came to the front with the supporting imperial army, which seemed to number hundreds of thousands. When the Liaodong army withdrew and the Xianbei army was stunned, they had already joined Zhang He and the others!
Moreover, we learned from the supporting general that the Prime Minister would be arriving soon, and it looked like he had a lot of troops. These were the only troops left, and they were still very tired. Coupled with the sudden departure of the Liaodong army, the morale of the Xianbei army was also hit. The most important thing is that Tan Shihuai doesn't know the reality of the imperial army, so he can't act rashly! The fastest updated Qiqi m.qq*717^.com/ mq^^om/
Therefore, after seeing the supporting imperial army and the Han army converging, Tan Shihuai had the idea of retreating temporarily. There is a long way to go, and there are many opportunities to fight against Prime Minister Yuan Shao!
After thinking about this, Tan Shihuai made a decisive decision and ordered to the Xianbei army, "Xianbei men, listen to my commander's order and retreat the whole army. Let's fight to the death with the imperial army later!"
Hearing Tan Shihuai's order to retreat, although He Lian and Bu Dugen were very unhappy and a little unwilling to do so, they did not dare to disobey the Xianbei Khan's order, and they also called on their men to retreat!
"Father Khan has ordered the entire army to retreat, and we will deal with these Han dogs later!"
"The Great Khan has ordered the entire army to retreat. I will take advantage of you Han generals today. I, Bu Dugen, will definitely take revenge later!"
After the two of them finished speaking unwillingly, they led the Xianbei army and retreated with Tan Shihuai. Following the retreat of the Liaodong army, they retreated strategically!
Seeing that the Xianbei allied forces began to retreat, and knowing that the lord was about to arrive, Wen Chou became completely excited, and wanted to personally lead his men to continue to hunt down the defeated Xianbei army. When Yuan Shao's army arrived, it would be their time to die!
But he was rejected by Zhang He. When Zhang He saw this situation, he felt something was wrong. It stands to reason that the lord is coming to Youzhou for support, but the time is a bit short, so he probably can't come so quickly. And looking at the expressions of the supporting army and the two generals, I knew that the lord might not have arrived yet!
Because the second general saw the Xianbei coalition retreating, he had no intention of pursuing them immediately. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and paused. But he came in front of Zhang He and Wen Chou, planning to meet first and discuss it in the long term!
Since Ma Dai had a relationship with Wen Chou and was now familiar with Ji Ling, he naturally acted as an intermediary and introduced Ji Ling to Wen Chou and probably General Zhang He!
"Zhang He, General Wen Chou, this is General Ji Ling who came with me, Ma Dai, to support us first. The Prime Minister is right behind us and will be here in a moment!"
When Ji Ling heard Ma Dai introducing himself, Ji Ling did not dare to make excuses, and quickly followed his instructions and said, "Ji Ling has met the two generals. This time we are following the Prime Minister's order to provide support first. The Prime Minister is behind you." !”
Although Zhang He didn't know the identities of Ma Dai and Ji Ling, seeing that the two of them could be used as vanguards by the Lord to rescue Youzhou showed that he felt reassured and valued them!
As the highest military commander in Youzhou, Zhang He naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly returned the salute and said happily, "Haha, it turns out that Ji Ling and General Ma Dai have arrived. If you hadn't arrived in time, our entire army would have been wiped out." . Even now I am in a very embarrassed state and a little ashamed. When the lord arrives, I will definitely ask for credit for you!"
"Haha, General Zhang is too polite. This is just our duty, so why bother with it!" Seeing that Zhang He was very friendly, Ji Ling also said politely.
Seeing that everyone was getting along well, Ma Dai breathed a sigh of relief and said modestly, "General Zhang is overly praised. We just happened to meet him at the right time!"
Hearing Ma Dai say this very humbly, Ji Ling gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart, and it also made Zhang He's impression of Ma Dai even better. This young player is very good, he is humble and polite, and he is a great talent. I want to talk to my lord when I have the chance. If possible, let General Ma stay in Youzhou and hang out with me, and together we can guard the borderland of the Han Dynasty!
But these can only be kept in mind first, and there will be no discussion when we meet the lord. Hearing the modest words of the second general, Zhang He, as a senior official in the officialdom, knew the fixed routines. Although he appreciated it in his heart, he still had to laugh.
"Haha, the two generals are too humble, but don't worry, even if I don't tell you about these achievements, the lord will know about them!"
"Well, thank you General!" After hearing what Zhang He said, the two of them understood. It seemed that General Zhang He would definitely report truthfully. The two of them were a little happy and very grateful.
Wen Chou, who was on the side, was already a little impatient to chase down the Xianbei army. Now he saw the three of them talking non-stop, and even after talking for a long time, they did not mention the intention of continuing to chase the defeated army, and Zhang He even stopped him. Go chase the enemy by yourself!
Now he couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted at the three of them, "I said you can stop. Now is not the time for you to be polite. The top priority is to chase down the retreating enemy troops. The master will arrive soon." , so that we can completely wipe out the enemy troops and avenge our brothers!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Hearing Wen Chou's murderous and impatient words, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they burst out laughing in unison, which made Wen Chou confused. They didn't understand how they all laughed out loud!
Seeing that after the three of them laughed, they still had no intention of taking action. Wen Chou couldn't wait any longer and immediately said angrily, "If you are unwilling to take action, then I, Wen Chou, will go after the defeated army alone. When the lord arrives, I will blame him." I won’t bear the burden for you after that!”
After saying this, he was still very angry and prepared to summon his troops to continue chasing the defeated Xianbei army. Ma Dai has a good relationship with Wen Chou. Seeing Wen Chou's behavior, he had to tell him the truth and dissuade him!
"General Wen, wait a minute. It will take several days for the Prime Minister's army to arrive here. We just deceived the enemy. Don't be impulsive!"
What, deceiving the enemy, the Lord has not arrived yet. Wen Chou was doubtful about Ma Dai's words. He didn't know which sentence was true and which sentence was false!
Zhang He saw this in his eyes, and when he heard Ma Dai's words, he felt that it was just as he expected. He knew that the lord's army would not arrive so soon. Seeing that Wen Chou was still a little confused, he explained.
"General Wen's soldiers are not tired of deceit. If the lord's army arrives, we will definitely not be like this!"
Hearing Zhang He's explanation, Wen Chou suddenly realized. No wonder the three of them were so calm. It turns out it was all a ruse. The Lord’s army has arrived, but it’s just to deceive the enemy! The fastest updated Qiqi /
Seeing that General Wen Chou believed it, Ma Dai explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail, and Ji Ling also added some supplements. At this moment, Zhang He and Wen Chou completely understood what had happened. This is a lie. In order to scare away the Xianbei coalition forces, this strategy had to be adopted. Now it seems that the effect is really good!
After understanding this and meeting the four of them, Zhang He was worried that the Xianbei army would have long nights and dreams if it left and returned, so he ordered the army to withdraw to the city quickly. Naturally, Wen Chou had nothing to say, so he just followed orders. Ji Ling and Ma Dai also followed the orders and returned to the city with the Youzhou soldiers and horses who left the city. So, the 200,000-strong supporting army joined the Youzhou army that had been cut off and returned to the city together!
