Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Fuyang County is located in the northeast of Nanpi County.

Yuan Shao withdrew from Nanpi County, and planned to go to Fuyang County to temporarily avoid Wang Lei's edge.

This way of retreating, because they were fully prepared, Yuan Shao's men took it easy and didn't feel too nervous.Just rushing all the time, resulting in physical fatigue and back pain.

Under the broad forest, Yuan Shao and his officers and soldiers were resting in the shade.

Yuan Shao leaned against the big tree with a haggard face.Beside Yuan Shao, Xu You, Guo Tu and others were sitting, but they also didn't want to move, feeling tired.Although Yuan Shao looked haggard, he was a martial arts practitioner after all, with good physical fitness and able to hold on.It was miserable for Xu You and Guo Tu. They were poor in physical fitness and fled all the way. Even if they were sitting in the carriage, they were sore from the bumps.

Yuan Shao looked worried, and said, "Ziyuan, is there any news about Gao Lan and Wen Chou?"

Yuan Shao hated Gao Lan's defeat.

However, among the generals under Yuan Shao's tent, Gao Lan is a rare general with both civil and military skills; Wen Chou is superb in martial arts and is the most powerful general under Yuan Shao's command.

The two were defeated, even if Yuan Shao gritted his teeth with hatred, he still had to pay attention to their situation.

With the loss of these two people, Yuan Shao's strength will drop a lot.

Now is the time to employ people, Yuan Shao can't give up the two men under his command.

Xu You replied: "My lord, the two have been contacted. Now, Gao Lan is gathering the scattered troops."

Speaking of this, Xu You sneered and said: "Wang Lei captured our army, but he kindly released nearly [-] prisoners. By doing this, he gave General Gao a chance. Combat strength will soon be formed. In this way, when Wang Lei is chasing us, Gao Lan will lead his army to chase after Wang Lei, and with the addition of the other troops coming back from all walks of life, Wang Lei will definitely be surrounded. In this battle, Wang Lei will not be able to win benefit."

In fact, what Xu You wanted to say just now was, "Wang Lei will definitely lose in this battle!" '

When the words came to his lips, Xu You felt that the words were too full, so he swallowed them back and changed his words.

"Okay, we must take down Wang Lei."

Yuan Shao clenched his fists, his joints creaked, his eyes were cold and stern.

"Report!"

The loud voice of the sentry came from far and near, and one sentry rode back and reported: "My lord, Wang Lei led the army from Nanpi County, marching at an accelerated speed, and coming straight to us."

Yuan Shao stood up abruptly, his face flustered.

Xu You and Guo Tu couldn't sit still, and Xu You stood up and said, "My lord, hurry up, don't be overtaken by Wang Lei."

Guo Tu also got up and patted his buttocks, saying, "Before the troops from all walks of life surround Wang Lei, we can't be caught up. My lord, let's retreat quickly, and don't be caught up by Wang Lei."

Yuan Shao also felt that time was running out, so he ordered the soldiers to hurry.

The army set off, and when the soldiers in the army heard the news that Wang Lei's army had killed them, they all patted their asses and hurried away.

After running all the way, the soldiers were quite tired, but no matter how tired they were, it was better than being killed.The army rushed towards Fuyang County non-stop, and Yuan Shao stopped to rest at dusk that afternoon when the sun was setting.

Yuan Shao sat on a big rock, looking at the setting sun like blood, staring quietly.

After resting for less than a quarter of an hour, another sentry came back to report the news.

"My lord, it's not good. The Jizhou army has been running non-stop all the way, and they are still chasing, and the distance with us has narrowed again."

Yuan Shao's body was chilled by the sentry's report.

The posture Wang Lei put on was to take him down before Yuan Jun encircled him!

Such a situation made Yuan Shao feel panicked.

"Withdraw, we must not let Wang Lei catch up."

Yuan Shao's expression was determined, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.

Xu You stared at the long snake-like team, frowned, and persuaded: "My lord, we retreated with our family members, and the speed was already slowed down. In addition, the officials also brought a lot of valuables, which are huge. My lord, please set an example by leaving the valuables in the army on the ground along the way. On the one hand, the speed of the journey will be increased, and on the other hand, after Wang Lei's army arrives, let Wang Lei's soldiers loot the valuables , to buy us time to retreat."

After Yuan Shao heard this, his face immediately darkened.

Ditch all valuables!

These items were collected by him with hard work, and many of them were gifts from his subordinates, so it was a pity to throw them away.

For a while, Yuan Shao hesitated.

"My lord, as long as you escape Wang Lei's pursuit, you can get back any item. If you are caught up by Wang Lei, no matter what good things you have in the future, you will not get them. Please make a quick decision, my lord, without hesitation."

Xu You also felt helpless about Yuan Shao's character.

At this time, why are you still hesitating.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, made a difficult decision, and said: "Okay, I'll throw it away!" Without wasting time, Yuan Shao ordered the soldiers under his command to drop all valuables along the way when they were on their way later.When this decision was made, the accompanying officials wailed, because they had also been ordered to throw away all the things they carried that were not easy to take away.

As a result, many people are unwilling.

Even if he was unwilling, he could only agree to Yuan Shao's order.

As the army was on their way again, valuables were constantly dropped along the way.As a result, Yuan Shao's soldiers moved faster.After dark, Yuan Shao didn't let the soldiers stop to rest and continued on their way.

Wang Lei chased after him relentlessly, Yuan Shao couldn't stop to rest.

In the middle of the night, the people under Yuan Shao's command could not run anymore, so they ordered to rest.

"Report!"

Not long after stopping to rest, the sentinel ran back again.

"My lord, there is news from behind that Wang Lei's Jizhou army is still on their way, chasing us."

The soldier's report made Yuan Shao's face change even more.

In the eyes, the color of panic appeared again.

This Wang Lei was too terrifying, he was chased by soldiers even in the middle of the night, he was so full of energy that he couldn't vent his energy, this situation clearly meant to put him to death.

Yuan Shao was sore all over, he didn't want to leave, but he had to.

After resting for a while, Yuan Shao ordered to continue on his way.

This time, Yuan Shao made his soldiers run for two hours in a row before ordering them to stop and rest.Finally, the sentry did not come back to report the news, and Yuan Shao had time to rest.

……

Under the moonlight, in the hazy night, a surprise soldier stopped on the official road.

This cavalry was led by Wang Lei. There were not many people, about [-] people, and there were soldiers from the Tiger Battalion around the cavalry.This time in pursuit, Wang Lei sent a large army to pursue Yuan Shao in real pursuit.After the news of the pursuit came out, Wang Lei quickly made adjustments. The army turned around and rushed, while Wang Lei led a cavalry and a team of soldiers from the Tiger Battalion in pursuit.

Dian Wei rode his horse to the side of Wang Lei and said, "My lord, it's past midnight, do you still want to pursue?"

Wang Lei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't chase, let all the brothers rest for an hour, and then start to retreat. We chased for a day, and Tai Shici led the army to retreat, and it is estimated that we will soon withdraw from Nanpi County. Let's retreat , go after Tai Shici."

"Yes!"

Dian Wei got the order and ordered to go down immediately.
