The big man is on the run

Chapter 218

Behind him, Qu Yi looked at the silk script sent by Yuan Shao with a gloomy expression.

Yuan Shao kept urging him to send troops to rescue Guo Tu, but as the officers and troops gradually strengthened their resistance, Qu Yi had some bad premonitions in his heart.

It has nothing to do with the battlefield situation, it is purely a famous general's intuition.

Wasn't the resistance from the officers and soldiers fierce enough?It was intense, beginning with small cavalry, followed by several medium-sized cavalry, and finally a large cavalry.

But the problem is, all this is too reasonable!
Too reasonable is the biggest unreasonable.

A series of thoughts appeared in Qu Yi's mind again—would the officers and soldiers send reinforcements at the encirclement point?Could it be that Anxi City has fallen?If I advance rashly, will I be ambushed by the officers and soldiers?
If he retreats with his troops, he will not be reconciled. After all, Guo Tu is Yuan Shao's right-hand man. Yuan Shao will never allow him to make any mistakes. Now, his situation is very critical. If he doesn't save him, the consequences will be disastrous.
But right now, in Qu Yi's view, it was already a matter of self-defense, and it was not a matter of whether Guo Tu could be saved or not. To save Guo Tu, he couldn't put himself in it.

For a moment, Qu Yi fell into a contradiction.

In this case, he didn't know what to do in a short time.

"General, great victory on the front line!"

Just then, a soldier came to report.

Hearing the soldier's report, Qu Yi's expression suddenly changed. He looked up and saw the sentry cavalry with blood-stained armor outside the tent rushing back and getting off his horse, but his face was full of unconcealable joy.

"General, General Zhang Yun defeated the obstruction of the officers and soldiers, the road ahead is unimpeded! Unimpeded!"

Hearing the words of the sentry cavalry, Qu Yi was slightly taken aback, and just said: "Okay, the general will know, thank you for your hard work, go down and rest first."

"promise!"

The sentry cavalry left at the sound.

After the whistler left, Qu Yi's expression suddenly darkened.

"Pass down the order to change the marching formation of the generals to the front and arrow formation."

"General."

"Excuting an order!"

"Yes!"

The front arrow array, if it is used for charging, is naturally an excellent offensive formation.But Qu Yi's order was to march
One end of the front arrow array is facing forward, and both ends are facing backward, which already means that Qu Yi puts his focus on the rear and is ready to run away at any time.

It wasn't sure just now, but now it is.

Qu Yi knew very well in his heart that the officers and soldiers were encircling the spot to fight for aid. If he continued to move forward, he would definitely die!He decided to slow down the speed of advance first, check the front clearly, and withdraw if the situation is wrong. In short, he must save the soldiers and horses in his hands!
His thinking was correct, but he ignored a very serious thing, that is the strength of the officers and soldiers.

The official army has been on the defensive, and they have been besieging Guo Tu and have not launched an attack on him.

But if Guo Tu was destroyed, he would attack Qu Yi, and Zhu Jun's troops did not completely withdraw, but were ready to go on the flank that Qu Yi could not see.

During the time when Guo Tu was under siege, Qu Yi had sent people to various places in the south of Jizhou, but there was no news from there.

At this moment, combining all the news, Qu Yi came to a terrible inference.

——The official army may have launched an extremely wide net against him.

Qu Yi finally panicked!

However, his fish is strong enough to get out when the net is not tight.

Qu Yi began to stop his troops, and sent a large number of scouts to disperse in all directions to check whether the officers and soldiers were surrounding him and the specific situation of Anxi City.

Unbeknownst to Qu Yi, this move of his completely annoyed Yuan Shao.

Today, the inner city of Ji County was destroyed, and Gongsun Zan set fire to himself.

At this time, after receiving Xin Ping's military report, Yuan Shao's heart was also brewing with monstrous anger, and he still couldn't restrain himself.

"What the hell is Qu Yi doing! Anxi City is right in front of you, why don't you save it?!" Yuan Shao roared angrily.

"My lord, you can't delay any longer. If you delay any longer, Guo Tu will really be doomed!" Xin Pi said anxiously.

Yuan Shao nodded: "Of course I know."

Xin Pi continued: "Master, we must take action immediately, otherwise, Guo Tu will really be finished."

Although Xin Pi's words were cryptic, Yuan Shao understood them.

He took a deep breath and calmed down. He also knew very well that he had to "restore" the situation.

"Order, let the supervising army Xin Ping temporarily take over the military power on behalf of Qu Yi!" Yuan Shao ordered.

"No!" Simpi got up and went to deliver the order immediately.

Qu Yi is the most important general under Yuan Shao. He has a very high position in Yuan Shao's heart. It can be said that if Qu Yi is gone, Yuan Shao's Hebei Army will collapse.

But now, Guo Tu has been besieged by the government army, if he is not rescued quickly, the consequences will be disastrous.

Qu Yi is openly obedient and vicious at this time, what do other people think?If all the leading generals do this, then Yuan Shao's prestige will be dealt a devastating blow.

"My lord!"

At this moment, Simpi returned in a hurry.

"Um?"

Seeing Simpi's hurried expression, Yuan Shao couldn't help but wonder, and asked: "George, what happened? You look so panicked?"

Xin Pi said anxiously: "My lord, something serious has happened! Guo Tu, Guo Tu has been killed by the army, and now Anxi City has been destroyed!"

"My lord, I just got the news. Not long ago, Anxi City was broken, Guo Tu was killed, and a broken soldier escaped with a narrow escape and informed Zhang Xi."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help gasping, and his heart hung in his throat.

Guo Tu was killed by the army?

This, this is impossible!
impossible!

"My lord, all this is true!" Simpi said.

"What about Qu Yi? Did Qu Yi know about this?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Qu Yi has already organized a U-turn and retreat."

Yuan Shao's face turned blue and white.

"My lord, what should we do now? Guo Tu has been killed by the officers and soldiers. If Qu Yi can't withdraw, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Xin Pi said anxiously.

After hearing what Xin Pi said, Yuan Shao couldn't help falling into silence.

"The whole army goes south, let Qu Yi give up his luggage and retreat north."

At this time, Xin Pi knew that the matter was serious, and he didn't dare to say that the soldiers in Ji County were exhausted after the battle, so he nodded repeatedly.

In the end, Simpi couldn't help asking: "Then the previous order?"

"Void!"

Yuan Shao said angrily, besides admitting that Qu Yi has a keen sense of the battlefield, what else can he say?

Say you're stupid?

After Xin Pi left, Yuan Shao lay down on the desk in a dazed state, all kinds of thoughts flickered in his mind, he traveled to study when he was young, and begged Dong Dong when he was middle-aged.
In the end, only one thought remained.

The matter has come to this point, the only thing to do is to fight the official army and fight with all your strength.

Defeat, rule the world.

Defeated, the stigma will last forever.
