Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 442 Gongsun Zan escapes
Gongsun Zan looked at Yan Gang and said angrily: "We were attacked by that guy Liu Yu."

In fact, at this time, Gongsun Zan still blamed Yan Gang a little. If this guy hadn't taken away all the Baima loyalists every time he went on an expedition, even if he was attacked by surprise this time, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.

But he just thought about it in his mind and said it was impossible to say it.

After Yan Gang heard what Gongsun Zan said, he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Liu Yu? This old guy dares to sneak attack on the lord?"

"My lord, please take a rest for a moment. I will lead some people to fetch Liu Yu's head for your lord!"

Yan Gang said, he was about to get up and lead his men back to attack Liu Yu.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan hurriedly grabbed Yan Gang and said, "General Yan, we have already lost all our food, grass and baggage. In addition, Baima Yicong has just fought against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and we are exhausted. How can we attack back?"

When Yan Gang heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he scratched his head with embarrassment.

At this time, everyone fell silent, waiting for Gongsun Zan's decision.

Gongsun Zan knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time. If they had not left the area before Liu Yu completely stabilized their camp, he was afraid that the other party would definitely lead troops to pursue them.

At present, there is no dangerous place on his side that can be defended, there is no time to set up a camp, and the military food supplies are almost zero.

For now, the only choice is to go to Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan said: "Send the order and march quickly to Wei County to help Yuan Benchu!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they didn't say anything more. They all followed Gongsun Zan and headed towards Weijun City.

Shortly after Gongsun Zan retreated, a group of scouts set out from Liu Yu's camp to explore the surroundings of the camp.

When these scouts returned, Liu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Gongsun Zan has really withdrawn."

In fact, when Liu Yu attacked Gongsun Zan before, he was holding a breath in his heart, and with the support of Cao Ang behind him, he did it in a moment of fever.

After beating Gongsun Zan away, Liu Yu was also a little scared. If he hadn't known in advance that Gongsun Zan's Baima Yi was never in the camp, he would not have dared to take action rashly.

Now, even if he defeated Gongsun Zan once, if he were to fight against him again, he didn't think he would win.

Now that he saw Gongsun Zan running away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After the situation stabilized, Liu Yu summoned a subordinate: "Please help me deliver a letter to Cao's camp, asking General Xiahou..."

Liu Yu naturally knew that the person fighting Gongsun Zan was Xiahou Dun.

Originally, he wanted to invite Xiahou Dun over and tell him about Gongsun Zan.

But when I think about the fact that the Xiahou family and the Cao family are the same family, Xiahou Dun is still Cao Ang's uncle in terms of seniority.

As a result, Liu Yu did not dare to make excuses, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, I'd better go to Cao Ying in person."

After Liu Yu said this, he led a group of people and set off from the camp and went straight to Xiahou Dun's camp.

When the soldiers saw Liu Yu, they thought it was the enemy attacking again. However, when they saw that there were only more than 20 people in the team, they did not pass on the order rashly.

"Who is here?" The centurion in charge of patrol yelled after seeing Liu Yu.Hearing this, Liu Yu said calmly: "I am Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. I have come to see General Xiahou. Please inform the general."

When the centurion heard this, his expression changed, he said "wait a moment" and hurried to report.

When Xiahou Dun learned that Liu Yu was coming, he looked at Xun Yu aside with surprise: "Sir, why did Liu Yu come to our place? Isn't he the governor of Youzhou?"

In Xiahou Dun's eyes, he looked down upon Liu Yu. After all, how could the embarrassed governor, who was suppressed by his own men, be very capable.

If he hadn't known that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had always been at odds, Xiahou Dun would have even thought that Liu Yu was sent by the other party.

After Xun Yu heard Xiahou Dun's words, he also said calmly: "It turns out that he is a guest, so the general should be polite to him and see what his purpose is."

"Okay." Xiahou Dun nodded, then got up and left the camp to greet him.

After all, Liu Yu was the governor of Youzhou, and Xiahou Dun was just a general who also received the position of county governor. In terms of official positions, Liu Yu's official position was one level higher than Xiahou Dun's.

People in this era still followed etiquette very much, so Xiahou Dun had to take people out to greet him.

When Xiahou Dun saw Liu Yu in armor outside the military camp, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart, thinking that you are a weak and incompetent person, do you deserve to wear armor?
But his face did not show the slightest flaw. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands at Liu Yu and said, "It turns out to be Governor Liu."

Liu Yu also knew that Xiahou Dun was a popular figure in the Cao Group, so he did not dare to rely on him. When he saw Xiahou Dun from a distance, he had already stood up and dismounted.

"General Xiahou, you are fine."

Liu Yu glanced away, saw Xun Yu again, and hurriedly raised his hand again: "Wen Ruo, you are here too."

Xun Yu smiled and nodded, leaning slightly to say hello.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Xiahou Dun invited Liu Yu into the camp.

Afterwards, Xiahou Dun asked straight to the point: "I don't know why the governor Liu came to me. You must know that our army is at war with Gongsun Zan. If the governor stays for a long time and causes Gongsun Zan to trouble you, this will But that’s not good.”

Liu Yu laughed loudly when he heard this: "General, you are worrying too much. I am here just because of Gongsun Zan's matter."

Later, Liu Yu told Xiahou Dun all about Cao Ang's letter to him and the emperor's secret edict.

After Xiahou Dun heard this, he looked at Xun Yu on the side, and then looked at Liu Yu solemnly: "Liu Governor, are you serious about this?"

"It's absolutely true! That Gongsun Zan has been attacked by my troops and occupied the camp. At the same time, I have sent troops to station in Yanmen. Now he has nowhere to go, like a lost dog!"

As Liu Yu spoke, he stroked his beard with a proud face.

At this time, Xiahou Dun didn't care so much anymore. He hurriedly got up and asked Xiahou Yuan to take his troops and go out to search for Gongsun Zan.

After about half an hour, Xia Houyuan came back.

"Yuan Rang, Gongsun Zan has indeed left Yanmen and headed southeast!"

After Xun Yu heard Xia Houyuan's words, he said calmly: "So, Gongsun Zan has gone to Yuan Shao."
