Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 255 Liu Xie: Benchu, how are you?
Yuan Shao led a large army...towards Yecheng?
Everyone, including Liu Xie, was stunned.

Because this sentence is not only unpopular, but also weird.

Yuan Shao finally escaped from Lecheng County and got rid of the pursuit of Zhao Yun and Gao Lan, but now you tell me that he has run back again?
"How many people are there in Yuan Shao's army?"

Liu Xie was the first to react. His face darkened slightly and he felt a little worried.

The war had just ended, and his troops had suffered heavy losses, and most of the soldiers were exhausted. If Yuan Shao found reinforcements and fought back, the situation would be very grim.

Lecheng County is likely to fall again.

Taishi Ci hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "About... about 4,000 people, and they look a little strange."

"Yuan Shao led more than a thousand people in front, and more than three thousand people followed closely behind. They did not raise any flags, and they did not look like a regular army."

“But they did come to Lecheng County.”

After listening to this, Liu Xie looked a little strange, wondering if Taishi Ci had some misunderstanding about the word "large army".

He thought Yuan Shao brought 40,000 people!

But no matter what, Yuan Shao actually dared to bring his men back to attack. Liu Xie naturally would not miss this good opportunity. He immediately ordered Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong:

"Quickly gather the troops and march out of the city to meet the enemy!"

"This time, Yuan Shao will never return!"

No matter what Yuan Shao’s plan is, there is nothing to be afraid of if he only has 4,000 people, because his main army is in the city!

"promise!"

All the generals clasped their fists and accepted the order.

……

Ten miles away from Lecheng County.

Yuan Shao, Qu Yi and others were fleeing frantically, and the three thousand Black Mountain soldiers were chasing them closely behind them. The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred steps.

"Are these damn bandits crazy?"

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the Black Mountain soldiers and bandits behind him with red eyes and ferocious looks, and could not help but curse them angrily.

He was just about to go with Qu Yi to join Guo Yuan's army, but suddenly a group of horse bandits caught up with them from behind.

Of course he was no stranger to this group of people.

It is the Black Mountain Army in Taihang Mountains!

When he retreated from Ji County and Yicheng before, this group of bandits caused him a lot of trouble and gave him a lot of headaches.

Later, after he found an opportunity to kill a large number of them and beheaded a lot of people, the Black Mountain Army finally calmed down, but now they have come out again!
How did he offend these guys?

At this time, Qu Yi's face looked a little ugly. He did not expect that the Black Mountain Army would come out. The key point was that he could not defeat them now.

After the previous battle with Zhao Yun, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and the soldiers he had were just remnants of a defeated army, not his elite vanguard camp.

Otherwise, how could a mere three thousand horse bandits be worthy of his attention?

Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs.

Now he had no choice but to escape, otherwise if he was caught up by the Black Mountain Army, they would definitely die here with such a small number of people, and his idea of ​​capturing Yuan Shao and seeking credit from the emperor would be shattered.

Thinking of this, Qu Yi said to Yuan Shao in a deep voice: "My Lord, we will be fine as long as we get to Lecheng County. General Guo's army is there."

"Then we will destroy these horse bandits!"

Yuan Shao nodded heavily and whipped his horse harder, hoping to reach Lecheng County quickly and stay safe.

Behind them now.

Zhang Yan looked at Yuan Shao, who was fleeing and approaching Lecheng County, and was extremely anxious. He could not help but curse, "Is Yuan Shao running to Lecheng County to seek death? Can't he just let me catch him?!"

He originally thought that it was Yuan Shao's subordinates who rebelled against Yuan Shao and captured Yuan Shao to surrender to the emperor. However, Yuan Shao looked fine and even led the way in fleeing to Lecheng County.

The whip in his hand was almost leaving an afterimage!
He didn't know why this guy was so anxious to run over and die. He was going to die anyway, so couldn't he just give him the credit?

If possible, Zhang Yan really wants to kneel down and kowtow to Yuan Shao. Their entire Black Mountain Army is waiting for this achievement to make them successful!
But Yuan Shao had no idea what he was thinking. He only thought that the Black Mountain Army was here to kill him, and Lecheng County was his only hope of survival.

The two sides chased each other and gradually approached Lecheng County.

"We're here! We're almost there!"

When Yuan Shao saw the city of Lecheng County not far away, he was suddenly excited, but soon frowned and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"General Qu, didn't you say that Guo Yuan was leading his troops to attack Lecheng County? Why can't I see his troops?"

Qu Yi said calmly: "I think General Guo has already taken Lecheng County. After all, General Guo has 30,000 troops, and Lu Bu and his men are just a bunch of defeated soldiers. It is normal for them to retreat when they know they can't defend the city."

"Is that so?" Yuan Shao was a little skeptical and did not accept this ridiculous explanation. "Then why is the flag hanging on the wall of Lecheng County still the Dragon Flag of the Han Dynasty?"

Qu Yi's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and replied, "It should be because the army just entered the city not long ago, and we haven't had time to change it yet."

"My lord, look! General Guo's troops are coming!"

Qu Yi pointed forward in surprise and said.

Yuan Shao squinted his eyes and saw a large number of soldiers pouring out of Lecheng County and heading towards him.

The Black Mountain troops pursuing from behind also saw the army coming out of the city, and they slowed down and did not dare to continue chasing.

"A bunch of cowardly rats!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this, and his heart was finally at ease. Just as he was about to wave to the army in front of him, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why does the general leading in the front look so familiar?

Yuan Shao rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.

The leader was seen riding a scarlet horse, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, looking very imposing; on his left and right sides followed a young general in a white robe and silver armor, and an old general with white hair and beard.

"Lü Bu, Zhao Yun?!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but scream in shock.

Among the three generals leading the troops in the front, two were Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and the other one was the old man who was capable of fighting Yan Liang and Qu Yi!

How could it be them!

Yuan Shao wondered for a moment if he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed them again, and he could see it more clearly.

The troops coming out of the city were not Guo Yuan's troops at all. They were all the Han troops in majestic armor and aggressive!

The faces of Lu Bu and the other two were filled with murderous intent.

Judging from the situation, they are here to kill him!

"Wait a minute!"

Before he could come to his senses, Qu Yi shouted loudly and rushed forward at an increased speed, but instead of fighting, he simply dropped the spear in his hand.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

"I was deceived by the thief Yuan, but now I have come to my senses. I have captured the thief Yuan and apologized to the emperor!"

"Generals, please show mercy!"

"I am one of our own--!"

Qu Yi was afraid that Lu Bu and others would misunderstand him, so he took off his armor while shouting, and waved his hand to signal the army behind him to stop advancing, to show that he had no hostility. For a moment, Yuan Shao was confused.

Lu Bu and his two companions, who had originally prepared to fight the enemy, were also stunned. They stopped their charge and stopped advancing with their army.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Why surrender before even fighting?
Lu Bu said with a fierce face: "What do you mean? I told you to pick up your weapons, pick up your weapons! Hurry up and mount your horse to fight me!"

But upon hearing this, Qu Yi knelt down and said with great remorse, "Generals! I was deceived by the thief Yuan before and became an enemy of Your Majesty. I know that I have sinned deeply."

"But now I have come to my senses and turned back. How dare I become an enemy of Your Majesty!"

Qu Yi bowed his head and clasped his hands, his attitude extremely sincere.

Zhao Yun frowned, pointed his spear at Qu Yi, and snorted, "You led your troops to fight me before, and now you are bringing Yuan Shao to surrender? Guess whether I believe you or not!"

"Tell me! What trick are you trying to play?"

If someone else had said surrender it would be fine, but the key point is that two hours ago Qu Yi had fought fiercely with Yuan Shao to cover Yuan Shao's escape. How could he possibly come and surrender right away?

His first reaction was disbelief.

Qu Yi felt the chill coming from Zhao Yun's spear and said bravely, "This is absolutely true. The thief Yuan is right behind us!"

As he said this, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Everyone, lay down your weapons! Bring the thief Yuan to these generals!"

Without any hesitation, the soldiers who followed Qu Yi dropped their weapons and took off their armor. Several guards grabbed Yuan Shao and brought him over.

Yuan Shao understood what was going on and shouted at Qu Yi, "Qu Yi! You shameless villain! How dare you lie to me!"

What reinforcements, what troops, it's all nonsense!
Qu Yi killed Lu Xiang and Jiang Qi not to save him, but to take all the credit for capturing him, and he deliberately deceived him to this point!
Qu Yi turned a deaf ear to Yuan Shao's insults.

The only thing he cared about was the attitudes of Lu Bu and the other two.

"The thief Yuan is here, generals, don't you believe me? I surrender to your majesty sincerely and apologize."

Zhao Yun originally thought that Qu Yi was playing tricks on him, but the other party had already given up resistance, and Yuan Shao was right in front of him, so he was a little unsure for a moment.

Could it be that he really came to surrender?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun looked at Lu Bu and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Wen...what do you think?"

"You ask me? How would I know?"

Lu Bu put away his halberd, waved his hand, and ordered: "Take all the people away and hand them over to His Majesty for disposal later!"

As long as they enter the city, what kind of trouble can they cause?
Even if you are a dragon, you have to coil around him!

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi was overjoyed and offered no resistance at all. He allowed the soldiers around him to come forward and tie him up, and he also ordered the soldiers not to resist.

"Qiao Yi! I'm your mother!"

Yuan Shao's eyes at this moment were simply murderous! He didn't expect that he would end up falling into the hands of Qu Yi!

And in such a humiliating way!
After Lu Bu had Yuan Shao and Qu Yi taken away, he did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at the unfamiliar soldiers in the distance.

"This group of people neither want to fight nor retreat. Who are they?"

These were obviously not Yuan Shao's soldiers. Their attire did not look like that, and they did not give him the feeling of a proper army. Instead, they looked like a group of horse bandits.

Just stay there for now, neither moving closer nor moving away.

He was somewhat confused about what these people were thinking.

"I see."

Zhao Yun looked at them for a moment and suddenly realized, "They are the Black Mountain Army, the group of people that Your Majesty has recruited. They must be chasing Yuan Shao here."

"Wen Gong, wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Zhao Yun said this and rode alone to the front of the Black Mountain Army. He bowed and said loudly: "I am Zhao Yun, the deputy general of the Tiger Guards! Who is the General Pingbei?"

In the Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up!
The reason why he didn't dare to get closer was that the momentum of Lu Bu and the Han army was too overwhelming. He was worried that he would be mistaken for Yuan Shao's accomplices and be killed, so he stayed where he was and looked for an opportunity to talk.

After hearing Zhao Yun's call, he quickly dismounted, saluted and said, "General Zhang Yan of Pingbei, greetings to General Zhao!"

The Tiger Guards! And he is also the deputy general!

This person is definitely the emperor’s confidant!

He was just a small General Pingbei and was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party. The difference in their status was huge.

He had also heard of the name of Zhao Yun, who came from the White Horse Volunteers under Gongsun Zan. He once killed Wen Chou in battle and was able to move freely among thousands of troops.

He could only look up to such a powerful general.

So without waiting for Zhao Yun to ask, Zhang Yan said respectfully: "General Zhao, I received news that Yuan Shao was defeated and fled to Yicheng, so I led my troops to intercept him halfway."

"As a result, Yuan the thief escaped all the way... and we chased him all the way."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Stop Yuan Shao is a great achievement. Now that Yuan Shao has been captured, General Zhang, please follow me into the city to see His Majesty."

"As for the troops brought by General Zhang, let them stay outside the city for the time being. Someone will come to settle them down later."

Hearing the words "great achievement" and "audience with the emperor", all the Black Mountain soldiers cast admiring glances at Zhang Yan.

Son of Heaven!
That’s the emperor of the Han Dynasty!

The most powerful man in the world!
"This this……"

Although Zhang Yan was a tough man, he was so excited that he was at a loss for words after hearing this. He could only bow and say, "Thank you, General Zhao!"

"Let's go."

Zhao Yun turned his horse and headed towards Lecheng County.

Zhang Yan also mounted his horse and followed behind him.

……

In the prefect's mansion.

Liu Xie, Jia Xu and others were waiting for news in the mansion, and at the same time they were discussing what Yuan Shao was planning to do when he returned to Yecheng.

"There must be some trick here. Could it be that Yuan Shao has ambushes behind him? Otherwise, how could he dare to return to Lecheng County with thousands of troops?"

Liu Xie frowned, his tone full of fear.

Yuan Shao's return was so strange that he couldn't help but wonder if there was some trap.

Taishi Ci said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our scouts are always scattered outside. If there is an ambush by Yuan Shao's army, it is impossible not to be discovered."

He was very sure of this.

Liu Xie nodded slightly, but at this moment, Gao Lan came running over with a happy face and reported: "Your Majesty! Lord Wen has captured Yuan Shao!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was overjoyed!

Even Liu Xie couldn't help but stand up.

My heart was filled with shock.

Yuan Shao...really caught him?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard footsteps and saw Yuan Shao walking into the hall under the personal escort of Lu Bu!
At this moment, Yuan Shao just happened to look up and his eyes met Liu Xie's.

"Benchu, are you all right?"
