Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 395 Returning to the Plains

Lu Kuang marched all the way, and soon caught up with the team led by Cen Bi.Seeing that it was Lu Kuang who led the army, Cen Bi curled his lips: "I don't know how to lead an army to chase me, a nameless soldier." He patted his horse and raised his sword. "Lu Kuang, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Cen Bi, I want to let you go in front of the eldest son, but you have repeatedly belittled me under your own means. Today I will not let you go." Lu Kuang swung his sword and rushed to Cen Bi.

"Good time." Cen Bi urged his horse to meet Lu Kuang, and when the two horses crossed, Cen Bi shouted: "Ah!"

Lu Kuang's slash was fast and urgent, Cen Bi lowered his head and dodged it, almost avoiding it, and broke out in a cold sweat, it was so powerful.I underestimated Lu Kuang, and I was afraid that I would not be able to beat him in a single duel, so Cen Bi felt a little drummed in his heart.Cen Bi didn't underestimate Lu Kuang, but Yuan Shao. Just imagine that Yuan Shao could promote the Lu brothers from the army. These two brothers must have skills, not soy sauce.

How can life and death be distracted, and how can you be timid?The two fought again, and Cen Bi was cut off by Lu Kuang under the horse.

In terms of martial arts, Lu Kuang is far behind Yan Liangwen, only slightly higher than Cen Bi.But Cen Bi was arrogant at first, thinking that Lu Kuang was afraid of him. After the fight, he became guilty and wanted to save his life.

Lu Kuang swung his sword again. "Come on!" Jizhou soldiers rushed forward, killing Qingzhou soldiers and chasing them down.

Yuan Tan was still marching, and when he got the report that Yuan Shang led the army and came after him, he cursed in his heart: I have quit Jizhou, why do I still refuse to quit, do you really want you to die?You underestimate me, Yuan Tan.Cursing, he didn't stop, he just wanted to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible.

After walking less than five miles, they got the news that Cen Bi was killed and the rear team was wiped out.Yuan Tan once again scolded Cen Bi for being incompetent, 5000 troops could hold out for at least an hour, why didn't he last even half a stick of incense.Yuan Tan ordered to stop marching and choose a high point to form an formation on the spot to prepare for the attack.

Lu Kuang's former army won the victory, and Jiang Yiqu and Lu Xiang's left and right sides quickly outflanked. Jiang Yiqu's troops unexpectedly caught up with Wang Xiu's convoy. Abandoning the luggage and being escorted by personal guards to flee to the plains.Jiang Yiqu's subordinates started to rob property, but they didn't care to pursue it, and Jiang Yiqu didn't stop him.

Lu Xiang's troops outflanked and formed an angle with Lu Kuang to talk to Yuan Tan.Yuan Tan wanted to fight another battle, but when he got the news that the front was also collapsed, all thoughts were lost for a while.He patted his horse and came to the front of the battle alone: ​​"Please come and talk to the two generals."

The Lu brothers came in front of Yuan Tan and saluted, "Young Master, we were ordered to pursue, please forgive me for being disrespectful."

"My father treats both of you well, why bother to force each other? I have left Jizhou and returned to Qingzhou, do you have to kill them all?"

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang looked at each other, no matter what, Yuan Tan is also Yuan Shao's son, and he cannot be killed. If the two of them killed Yuan Tan, they would not be able to hold their heads up in Jizhou, and they would have no face to see others, let alone Yuan Shao's support for the two of them. Yep.Lu Kuang clasped his fists and said: "Young Master is going, we will never stop you. As long as you don't invade Jizhou, we will not be enemies with you. Just leave the food and grass that you took from Nandai, so we can give it to the third son." Confession."

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly: "There is no luggage, food and grass. You are fighting here, and Jiang Yiqu has already seized the luggage."

"Elder Master, take care." The two stopped talking and went back to the front line.

Yuan Tan sighed, it would be great if these two people could be under his command. "Withdraw." Yuan Tan led the troops to bypass Jiang Yiqu and continue towards the plain.

The brigade led by Yuan Shang quickly rushed to join the Lu brothers. "Report to my lord, we have defeated Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and killed Cen Bi. General Jiang Yiqu has intercepted the food and grass."

"Then if you don't pursue it, when will you wait?" Yuan Shang was not happy. "Order all the troops to pursue quickly, and must stop Yuan Tan before reaching the plain."

Yuan Shang led the army to catch up quickly, Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses had no fighting spirit, seeing Yuan Shang chasing and fighting and walking, being chased and killed all the way, leaving corpses all over the ground, he just wanted to run faster.

After chasing for another 5000 miles, Yuan Tan's men died and scattered, leaving less than [-] people.The more Jizhou soldiers chased, the more excited they became. It felt really good to beat the dog in the water. You don't need to work hard, you just need to chase after with a knife in your hand to make a contribution.

Chasing after chasing, not daring to chase.Seeing the dust flying in front of him, Yuan Shang hurriedly sent out scouts to find out how many soldiers and horses there were.After a while, Guo Tu led 2 people from Pingyuan to rescue, and Zhang Yan and Ma Kai each brought 5000 people to kill from the two wings.

Yuan Shang was very annoyed, it only took half an hour to catch up with Yuan Tan and surround and kill him.They had no choice but to order the pursuit to stop. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang each led 5000 men to meet Zhang Yan and Ma Kai.

Speaking of Jiang Yiqu, Yuan Shang really didn't know what to say. It was a great achievement to intercept Yuan Tan's luggage, but it was really hateful for him to allow his subordinates to rob property so that he lost the chance of fighting and Yuan Tan was able to escape.There is no way, this is the old general left by his father Yuan Shao. He lost all the four pillars of Hebei in the first battle of Guandu, and he needs these generals to assist him, at least rely on them to settle the situation in Jizhou.

Guo Tu rescued Yuan Tan, seeing that Yuan Shang had formed an formation, he did not dare to attack rashly, and confronted Yuan Shang from a distance, and retreated slowly after about half an hour.

Seeing Guo Tu retreating, Yuan Shang wondered whether to pursue him or not.Just as he was hesitating, the Lu brothers sent back to inspect the horses and report that Zhang Yan and Ma Kai had been killed and separated from the left and right. Lu Xiang killed Ma Kai and asked Yuan Shang what to do.Yuan Shang slapped his thigh, the hatred in his heart, why didn't he dare to make a decision immediately, and he was even more annoyed when he saw Jiang Yiqu coming with a full load.

"Order the soldiers to lay down their baggage, and kill those who take anything indiscriminately!" Yuan Shang shouted loudly, "The whole army pursues!"

On the way, Yuan Tan received the news of the defeat of Zhang Yan and Ma Kai, his face was ashen.Guo Tu persuaded: "My lord, don't worry, there is a plain ahead, and we still have 3 horses to hold on."

"Stick to the guard?" Yuan Tan had a wry smile on his face, asking how long he would stick to the guard.

"My lord has married Cao Cao, why don't you invite Cao Cao to come to rescue and rescue?" Guo Tu had no choice but to ask Cao Cao to send troops, otherwise Pingyuan would be besieged and destroyed by Yuan Shang sooner or later.

"Forget it, it has to be like this."

Yuan Tan nodded resignedly, and sent messengers to Xudu to rescue soldiers.The army entered the plain and immediately threw it into the defense of the city. Guo Tu patrolled around to prevent any loopholes. Fortunately, Yuan Tan had been operating in the plain for many years, and the city was well repaired.

Yuan Shang arrived in Pingyuan and immediately ordered the siege of the city, preparing to trap Yuan Tan to death.At this time, news came from Qingzhou that the guard Liu Xun had rebelled and left Yuan Tan.Yuan Shang was overjoyed that there was only one isolated city left in Yuan Tan, and he ordered the news of Liu Xun's rebellion to spread to the city, and the morale of Yuan Tan's army dropped to the extreme.
