The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Ji Ling did not choose to join Zhang Xun, but retreated southward, leaving behind Zhang Xun's 20,000 troops who were besieged from Xiaoxian to Pengcheng.

This wrong decision caused huge flaws.

Ji Ling's losses were not big, only a few hundred men, and he took most of them back south to Jiujiang. But Zhang Xun suffered a lot. Zhao Yun's 20,000 people and Zhang Liao's 20,000 people sandwiched him in the middle. He could not advance and retreat, but could only retreat. In Xiao County, waiting for rescue.

boom!
"Ji Ling! What crime do you deserve?"

"Your Majesty... General..."

"What did I tell you? Huh?!"

Ji Ling knelt on the ground and remained silent. He did not expect that things would deteriorate to this point.

"Han Yin, tell me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down."

"Calm down your anger? How do you want me to calm down? Zhang Xun is trapped in Xiao County and can't come back!"

"Li Ye, tell me!"

Compared with Zhang Xun being trapped, Li Ye was more interested in another thing: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask General Ji Ling."

Yuan Shu was impatient and waved his hand: "Ask."

"Here."

Li Ye turned around, saluted Ji Ling and said, "General Ji."

Ji Ling returned the gift.

"I don't understand something, and I hope the general can clarify it."

"please say."

"Why did the Han army move so quickly?"

Yup!

Yuan Shu also realized that the Han army's actions were too abnormal, as if they knew what he was going to do in advance, which was so weird!

Traitor!

Yuan Shu looked unkind and looked at everyone with suspicion. If there wasn't a traitor, how did Liu Han know about the retreat plan?
"The general is also very puzzled."

"Oh?"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Li Ye looked at Ji Ling and smiled without saying a word.

"Slander! You are slandering!"

"General, I didn't say anything."

Ji Ling looked sideways at Li Ye, saluted Yuan Shu, and said, "Huh! I am innocent. I won't argue with you. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."

Yuan Shu looked at Ji Ling's resolute expression, which did not seem fake. "Li Ye, are you wrong? Ji Ling is my trusted and beloved general, how could he be a spy?"

Li Ye saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the three orders to retreat were issued immediately. General Yuan of Guangling received the news the fastest, but he could not have given the Han army any intelligence."

Yuan Shu nodded, "Yes."

Not to mention that Yuan Si immediately retreated and retained his strength. Just because he was his younger brother, it was impossible for him to betray him. Liu Han wanted to kill the nine Yuan clans. If Yuan Si did not follow him and join Liu Han, he would be seeking death. .

"The second person to receive the military order was General Ji Ling, but the general came back alone, causing General Zhang Xun to be trapped in Xiao County. Apart from the general, I really can't think of any other possibility."

After listening to Li Ye's words, Yuan Shu frowned. This was the second time Ji Ling openly disobeyed military orders, resulting in the loss of his own troops.

"Ji Ling!"

Obviously, Yuan Shu was angry. Li Ye's words were reasonable and well-founded, which made him have to doubt Ji Ling's second intention.

"Somebody come!"

The warrior walked into the royal tent, "Here you are!"

Just as Yuan Shu was about to punish him, Yan Xiang stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Your Majesty, this cannot happen! We are already at a disadvantage facing Liu Han, and we cannot kill him in battle!"

Faced with Yuan Shu's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, Yan Xiang couldn't help but feel sad.

Yang Hong, who couldn't deal with Ji Ling, his little eyes were full of treachery, and he swiveled around, muttering in a low voice: "If there is a way, things must have a reason, and if there is a way, there will be no storm without wind!"

"You...!" Yan Xiang was very anxious and glared at Yang Hong. I thought you were the one who framed my colleagues like this.

Yang Hong rolled his eyes and thought to himself, if it wasn't for Ji Ling. Some time ago, I collected hundreds of acres of fertile farmland. Damn it! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse secretly, thinking that when he went back, he would increase the land rent from 70% to 80%, and his family would have thousands of acres of fertile land. Raising land rent by 10% will make up for what you can't earn.

"Shut up, old man!"

Ji Ling was already aggrieved. He wanted to move closer to Zhang Xun, but the harassment along the way prevented him from getting closer. If he forced himself to move closer, he would suffer even greater losses. Being provoked by Yang Hong, his anger suddenly burst out with murderous intent.

"His Majesty!"

Yang Hong quickly hugged Yuan Shu's thigh and asked him for help.

"Ji Ling! What are you going to do?! Do you still have me in your heart?"

Yuan Shu, who was already dissatisfied with Ji Ling, became even more angry. He dared to attack his ministers in front of him. If you attack Yang Hong today, the knife may be on my neck tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu became even more wary of Ji Ling and harbored murderous intentions.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to slander. Ji Ling is a general of our dynasty. He has been following Your Majesty for many years. How could he surrender to the enemy easily?" Yan Xiang hurriedly defended Ji Ling.

When Yang Hong heard the slander, he said angrily: "Yan Situ. Who are you calling the slander? I am thinking about your majesty!"

"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing!" Yuan Shu had a big head. Of course he knew that he couldn't kill Ji Ling now, otherwise who would protect him from Liu Han?

"Ji Ling, since you said you are not a traitor, I asked you to lead people to rescue Zhang Xun, do you dare to accept the order?"

Ji Lingjian said resolutely: "The last general will take the order."

He wants to prove himself to Yuan Shu that he is innocent and not a spy!
"it is good."

Zhang Xun must be saved, and that is a total of 20,000 people. Not to mention losing another 20,000 people, even the morale of the army cannot be saved.

If 20,000 people give up, they will give up. What do you think of the 30,000 troops in Shen County? What do you think of Ping Yu and Liu Xun's 20,000 people?
Did he give up on rescue when he was surrounded?

Are they still working for you?

Therefore, we must save and rescue!

As for how many people were rescued, that was not Yuan Shu's concern.

"You still have 7,000 men to mobilize. I will ask Shouchun Li Feng to lead another 5,000 men, and I will allocate another 5,000 men to you from the camp, for a total of 17,000 men to bring Zhang Xun back from Xiao County! "

"I will obey your orders!"

Ji Ling took the order and prepared to rescue people.

"Wait a minute," Yuan Shu said, full of distrust towards Ji Ling, "I want to appoint another military governor to accompany you."

In the Han Dynasty, there was a censor to supervise the army, which was also the case in the Three Kingdoms period. When going on an expedition, a military censor is temporarily appointed to supervise the armies. After the incident is completed, he will be dismissed from his post when he returns to the division.

Obviously, Yuan Shu wanted to send someone to watch Ji Ling.

Although Ji Ling was reluctant, he still accepted, "I obey."

Looking at Ji Ling's expression, Yuan Shu became even more displeased. He originally wanted Yan Xiang to follow him, but he and Ji Ling had a good relationship, and the two secretly colluded, with disastrous consequences.

"Yang Hong, do you dare to accept this order?"

"His Majesty…"

Yang Hong, who was eating melon, didn't expect that the melon would actually get to him.

Let yourself supervise the battle against Ji Ling?
Isn't this looking for death?
"Ok?"

Yang Hong was about to speak, but looking at Yuan Shu's murderous eyes, he chose to compromise: "My lord, I obey the order."

"Ah."

Ji Ling also didn't expect that the military governor would be Yang Hong. Not only would this person not be able to help him, he would also hinder him everywhere, which made him feel miserable in his heart!

The deal is already done, and the two of them can only go out together and set out as an army.

"Humph!"

Yuan Shu then felt relieved and said, "Let Liu Xun also retreat to Ruyin."

Something has happened in the east, and nothing can happen again in the west.

Otherwise, if we divide our troops on two fronts, we will definitely lose.

Yuan Shu had a headache when he thought of this: "Everyone, please go down."

"Here."

Everyone resigned.
