Chapter 309: Anticlimactic

Zhao Yun said excitedly: "I'm still worried about the lord...! The lord finally woke up!"

Chen Lang smiled and looked around, and found that he was in a small valley with dense vegetation covering the front and back, and the valley seemed particularly secluded. Chen Lang asked, "Where is this?"

Zhao Yun said, "This is a valley about a hundred miles away on the north bank of the Yellow River."

Chen Lang thought of the previous battles, vivid scenes of **** battles, and said: "I remember I fell off the cliff, and I don't know what happened afterwards."

Zhao Yun said: "It should be the black dragon who saved the lord. At the end, he followed the black dragon's footsteps and found this valley all the way. Fortunately, the lord is fine!"

Chen Lang looked at Zhao Yun, "Why did you come, Zilong? How is the battle going on in the east?"

Zhao Yun said: "The grain and grass that the Xianbei people hoarded in Dingxiang has been burned by us, and Suli's army has also been defeated by our army. When we received the news that the lord had fallen into a heavy siege, we immediately divided our forces, and General Meng Qi continued to attack Suli. , The general led the Hu Ben army to the west to rescue the lord.” At this point, Zhao Yun's face couldn't help showing regret, “Unfortunately it will be late in the future!”

Chen Lang asked: "Who else is alive?"

"Only General Dianwei and dozens of severely wounded officers and soldiers, the rest were killed, including General Fan Si!"

Chen Lang looked surprised, "Evil Lai is still alive! It's great!" Then he asked: "Where are they now? Where are the corpses of the fallen soldiers?" "The final general ordered Hu Benjun to bring General Dianwei with him. Waiting and the corpses of the brothers retreated first. At present, only the final general came to find the lord." Chen Lang nodded and said: "Zilong's decision is very correct."

Chen Lang wanted to stand up, but felt very strenuous, and he couldn't stand up for a while. Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Lang. Chen Lang looked at the sky and saw that the sky was still bright, and said: "It's still early now. It is not suitable to stay here. Let's leave immediately!" Zhao Yun said worriedly, "But the lord's body...?" Chen Lang waved his hand. I'm okay, it's mostly skin injuries. Let's go." "Yes."

Zhao Yun first helped Chen Lang to the black dragon, and then turned himself over to the white dragon.

Chen Lang did not see his big knife, and asked, "Where is my knife?"

Zhao Yun said: "I didn't see the lord's Azure Dragon Yanyue Broadsword, it must have fallen in the river."

Chen Lang nodded, "Let's go." The two came out of the valley and headed southeast. Because Chen Lang was injured, neither of them was very fast.

The two drove for more than an hour, and suddenly smoke rose in front of them, and at the same time there was a sound of thunder coming from the front. The two couldn't help but stop their horses, Zhao Yun frowned and said, "There is a brigade of cavalry!"

Chen Lang looked around and found a dense grove not far away. He immediately pointed to it and said, "Let's hide in!" Then the two turned their horses and ran into the woods to hide.

Before long, there were hundreds of cavalry outside the woods, all of them Xianbei. They stopped in front of the woods, and one of them asked: "How far is the Mulberry Village?" The person next to him said: "There are more than twenty miles." The person who had spoken earlier said: "General Yingyang of the Han people. It is very possible to hide in the village of the Han people. Everyone should be careful. If we can catch the General Yingyang of the Han people, we and everyone will have a great reward!" Everyone shouted in excitement. One person said: "Captain, we should be faster! If Sangshu Village is not there, we will rush to another place! This time the general sent tens of thousands of cavalry to search for General Yingyang of the Han people. Busy for nothing!" The captain nodded and shouted: "Go!" Hundreds of people shouted and galloped toward the north.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "It seems that people from Xianbei found out that I was not dead!"

Zhao Yun frowned and said: "According to what the other party said just now, there are tens of thousands of cavalry from the Xianbei people searching for the lord on the north bank. If we continue to go south, we will definitely run into the Xianbei!"

Chen Lang thought for a while, and said, "Since we can't go south, we will go north." Zhao Yun was taken aback, then praised; "The master's trick! The Xianbei people never expected that we would go north." The two left. After leaving the woods, he galloped towards the northeast.

It is said that Kebi was able to rush to the east in a hurry, but he still failed to save Dingxiang. The huge amount of grain and grass he had hoarded in Dingxiang was burned out by a fire. Kebi was able to become irritated and slammed his army to attack Ma Chao, hoping to annihilate the main force of the Yingyang army led by Ma Chao. Ma Chao led the army and fought and retreated. Although Ke Bi Neng was on the offensive, he did not take advantage of it at all. Ma Chao retreated smoothly into Yanmen Pass, and Kebi, who was anxious and frustrated, immediately tackled the key violently. The army set off a wave of attacks in an attempt to break through Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop! However, the Eagle and Yang army held the gate and held firm as a rock for several consecutive days. Kebi was able to fail to capture Yanmen Pass, and instead suffered a lot of losses and frustrated morale.

That night, in the Xianbei people's big tent, the onslaught failed to make any progress for many days, making everyone feel a little frustrated.

A general came in and saluted: "Da Shanyu, I just checked our grain and grass. We only have enough grain and grass for five days."

Ke Bi can be very depressed.

Another general said: "Big orders, lack of food and grass, the army is difficult to last, it seems that we can only retreat!"

Kebi could not be reconciled, and said cruelly: "I only need two days to break the Yanmen Pass!" Then he glanced at the generals and shouted: "Continue to attack tomorrow, and you must break the Yanmen Pass within three days!" All the generals only felt. Be impulsive and shout in unison.

The Xianbei people attacked for three consecutive days, and the offensive was not unrelenting, but they still couldn't break the barrier after three days. Instead, on the third day, he was caught off guard by a sudden attack by Ma Chao's cavalry, and he was almost out of control. The Xianbei people had lost their spirit, and the food and grass were about to run out, so they had no choice but to stop the attack and retreat.

In Youzhou, Yuan Shao, who was in command of the army to suppress the rebellion of the Gongsun clan, received an urgent report from Zhang Xun, and learned that the Yingyang army had defeated the Xianbei’s offensive attempt, and the Xianbei had retreated. They couldn’t help but feel very depressed. Said: "I originally thought I could use the Xianbei people, but I didn't expect Kebi to lead an army of 850,000 to go south without any gains. Instead, Chen Lang burned Dingxiang grain and grass and had to retreat! I'm disappointed!"

The civil servants looked at each other, and Xu You twisted his beard and said mockingly: "I've said before, Hu Lu can't be relied on! But some people just don't listen when they are quiet!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help being annoyed when he heard this. Tian Feng was very unhappy and said: "The lord's plan is not wrong, but that Ke Bi can carelessly underestimate the enemy this time!"

Xu You sneered coldly, and mocked: "How can Hulu be the opponent of Chen Lang! In this battle, Ke Bi was not able to defeat Chen Lang, but Chen Lang's prestige became even more prosperous! On the edge of the Yellow River. It was a fierce battle. Chen Lang’s eagle raised his army with dozens of enemies, killing the ghosts and crying! What a great Chinese ambition! Ma Chao and Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to raided Dingxiang and defeated the enemy with a successful battle. Huaxia! Looking back at us, we actually colluded with Hu Lu secretly. If it spreads all over the world, how will the lord's face remain!"

Yuan Shao shouted angrily: "Enough! Are you my counselor or Chen Lang's counselor?"

Xu You clasped his fist and said, "Lord, I’m just not worthy of the lord! The lord shouldn’t marry the Hulu by believing Tian Feng and others’ lies. Such a thing is not only a shame, if it spreads all over the world, it will damage the lord’s majesty! Lord! , Tian Feng and others are harming the lord!"

Tian Feng said annoyedly: "Xu You, don't talk nonsense! The lord is just using that Kebi Neng, and what you said seems to be the Lord's referendum relying on Ke Bi Neng! What is the intention of you talking like this! "

Xu You sneered and said, "Spoken words and expressions, treacherous ministers!"

Yuan Shao shouted: "Xu You, don't be too presumptuous!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was really angry, Xu You didn't dare to go on.

When Yuan Shao saw Xu You stopped speaking, his anger couldn't help but extinguish more than half. He glanced at everyone and asked: "Chen Lang repelled Ke Bineng, what should I do?"

Xu You clasped his fists and said, "Lord, Ke Bineng has already retreated. How can our army go to attack Huguan? General Zhang Xun should be ordered to retreat to the original place immediately." Yuan Shao nodded and said: "It can only be so. Up!"

At about the same time, Liu Biao and Sun Jian's coalition forces who were attacking Wancheng also received the news that Ke Bineng's army had retreated, and he couldn't help being surprised and unbelievable. In their imagination, Kebi could go south with an army of 850,000 this time, and he would surely defeat the Eagle Yang army in Bingzhou like a ruin, and he could take advantage of this opportunity to seize Luoyang in one fell swoop. However, the development of things is not what they expected. First came Wancheng. Their two coalition forces attacked Wancheng for several days. However, the Yingyang army in Wancheng seemed completely unaffected by the war in the north, and their morale was very high! After many days of attack, Wancheng is still as solid as a rock, but the two coalition forces have suffered a lot! But now, they originally thought that the Xianbei who would be able to defeat the main force of Bingzhou Yingyang Army were forced to retreat! All this exceeded their previous expectations!

Sun Jian was very annoyed and asked Zhou Yu: "Kubi can be forced to retreat. What should I do now?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "I didn't expect things to develop into this way! Ying Yangjun's combat effectiveness is a little beyond my expectations!" Sun Jian couldn't help but nodded with frown.

At this moment, an officer rushed in and reported: "Master, Liu Biao's army has retreated!"

Everyone frowned. Sun Ce cursed: "This old boy must be scared!"

Zhou Yu said to Sun Jian: "Lord, since Ke Bineng has retreated and the opportunity has been lost, if we continue to fight, our army may fall into a disadvantageous situation. After all, we still have Yuan Shu's worries for the future!" Sun Jian frowned, nodded, and cursed: "I didn't expect the Xianbei people to be so useless!" Then they ordered everyone: "The whole army retreat immediately!" The generals clasped their fists and agreed.

In the evening, Zhuge Jin hurried back home. Asked the servant: "Where is Kong Ming?" The servant pointed to the back and said, "The second son is drinking in the cottage at the back."
