After Yuan Shu said this, Lu Bu was also slightly taken aback.After all, Lu Bu's head was flooded and he left all the soldiers here, and now that he was the first to attack the city wall, Yuan Shao could take advantage of it himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu also nodded: "But in this situation, Yuan Shao's main force will soon attack the city. Your Excellency, you'd better not do stupid things."

Lu Bu didn't know what to think, he always admired Yuan Shu more than Yuan Shao.At this time Yuan Shu suddenly thought of something, he smiled at Lu Bu: "I think you are more interesting than my brother, so how about we keep the status quo?"

The two glanced at each other, then backed away slowly at the same time.At this time, Yuan Shu suddenly said to Lu Bu: "I will settle the score with my brother, and I don't want outsiders to disturb us."

Lu Bu nodded happily. After all, the more Yuan Shao died, the better. The rest is his business.As a result, there was a short-lived peace on this side of the city wall, and because of the loss of one wall, the remaining city walls were gradually captured by the enemy.

Yuan Shu commanded everyone to retreat into the city for defense, and made every step of the way.Lu Bu cheerfully said to Yuan Shao who rushed over from below: "We built the city wall first, when will the money be given to me?"

Yuan Shao's face immediately turned green. He saw Lu Bu's attack in front of him, and he really fought hard.But after attacking the city wall, Lu Bu didn't go any further, which made Yuan Shao very upset.

But it's useless to be upset, Qiaocheng has already been invaded, and now Yuan Shao must completely defeat Yuan Shu is the main thing, so Yuan Shao ordered everyone to rush into the city and quickly defeat Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu defended the city bit by bit. At this time, Na Le and Liang Gang also brought people to Yuan Shu's side. "This subordinate is incompetent... Please leave Qiaocheng quickly, my lord, and leave this place to us!"

Yuan Shu shook his head: "I said, this time I will live and die with you."

Le glanced at Liang Gang, Liang Gang nodded and directly dragged Yuan Shu onto his horse, then ran towards the west of the city.After Yuan Shu scolded a few words, he realized that it was useless at all, so he decided to flee for his life together.

After all, it's easy to work hard, but once you recover, you definitely don't want to die.But Yuan Shu was definitely not reconciled, he said to Liang Gang: "Don't just leave like this, let's go and burn the food and grass before leaving."

"The soldier guarding the grain and grass in front was actually killed. I told him to set fire immediately if the situation was not good. Could it be that this mountain of grain and grass was sent out for my farming?"

Yuan Shu said that Liang Gang had no other choice, so he ordered thousands of personal guards, that is, the elites of all battles, to escort Yuan Shu and march towards the granary together.

At present, Yuan Shu's loyal subordinates are less than [-], and most of the rest are in Lejiu, fighting the final battle with the enemy.

Of course, there is another part that is hidden and prepared to set off a bigger fire. In many cases, the blood is played out. If a soldier and friends around you are killed in battle, then it is difficult for you to still feel afraid.

Either kill each other, or be killed by others.The entire Qiao City was already being killed everywhere. Although Yuan Shu's side had fewer and fewer people, Yuan Shao's side had suffered even greater casualties.

The granary is the most important thing, so after the Xiandeng dead soldiers attacked Qiaocheng, Zhang Xi led 2000 people to attack and defend here.

Chapter 390: Fire Attack is the Most Popular in Romance

Yuan Shu brought people here, and he naturally saw Zhang Xi defending here.

He immediately ordered people to release rockets, and then he and Liang Gang led people to meet Zhang He.Zhang He was naturally not afraid, and even wanted to capture Yuan Shu and claim credit for his lord.

So Zhang Yun charged towards Yuan Shu single-handedly, and none of the soldiers around him was his single-handed enemy.Liang Gang led people to resist Zhang Yun, and said to Yuan Shu: "Back back, my lord, and leave it to my subordinates!"

Yuan Shu laughed out loud, a little crazy. "It doesn't matter, I bet he won't dare to kill me!" After saying that, Yuan Shu came up directly with his sword and hacked to death a soldier who was attacking him.

After killing a person, Yuan Shu became even more insane, holding his one-handed sword and stabbing Zhang Yun randomly.This time Zhang He was embarrassed, because what Yuan Shu said was right, Zhang He really didn't dare to do anything to him.

If it is possible to capture and deal with Yuan Shu alive, it is also Yuan Shao's order to kill him, but try to move others, let alone kill Yuan Shu, you will hurt him, Yuan Shao probably will not let you go.

Because Yuan Shu's surname is Yuan, if Zhang Yun wants to stay under Yuan Shao's subordinates in the future, he will never dare to do anything to Yuan Shu.Because even if they don't deal with it, they are still brothers on the surface.

Could it be rumored that Zhang He killed the lord's younger brother?Does this make Zhang Yun alive?After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yun really had no way to do anything to Yuan Shu.

It's not like beating, but arresting... There are other people's subordinates nearby, how to arrest?The opponent's swordsmanship is very bad, but he just takes care of himself like a desperate person. He is sure to kill the opponent, but he really has no chance to catch him.

This feeling of timidity made Zhang Yun unable to use it at all, and Yuan Shu even cut his arm.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's subordinates rushed in and set the grain and grass on fire. Zhang Xi had an aggrieved expression on his face, but there was nothing he could do. Finally, he gritted his teeth and led the people back down.

When Zhang Xi retreated, Liang Gang shouted excitedly. "The lord is really right, the enemy generals dare not do anything to the lord!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yuan Shu, who had already left the battle with a crazy and dark face, passed out directly, and now he lost his strength after fighting hard.

Liang Gang was taken aback, and immediately led his own people to carry Yuan Shu on their backs, and retreated slowly to the west outside the city.

At this time, Lejiu has set fire to the whole city.At least 5000 people rushed in from Yuan Shao's side, and even Yan Liang and Wen Chou brought people to kill them.

Le saw that the opponent's main force had reached the center of the city, and directly sent a signal for his subordinates to set fire.Le just here is not like Zhiyuan's side, at least some wet cloths are prepared.When he set fire here, he basically made no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and all the soldiers who entered the city fell into the flames.

It is late autumn, and the temperature is very low, so these people are wearing thick clothes.As a result, as soon as the fire started, although it was only on both sides of the street, the smoke and sweltering heat drenched their clothes in just a few minutes.

Earlier, Yan Liangwen Chou was beating Le Jiu. After all, Le Jiu was indeed no match for the two of them, but there were thousands of Yuan Shu's soldiers around him.

Naturally, the two of them would not miss this kind of opportunity to make contributions.But just when the two sides were fighting and they were about to kill Le Ji, Le suddenly gave an order to start setting fire, and the whole city was soon full of flames.

"Ma De, are you going to commit suicide?" Wen Chou cursed at Le.

Le laughed loudly and said, "Us? We just want to drag you to be buried with you, brothers, let me kill you!"

He was pressed and beaten by two people in front of him, but now it is directly reversed.Yuan Shu had known for a long time that they were going to set fire to the city, so although they were flustered, they still felt that there was a good chance of escape.

After all...they put the things that started the fire on their own, so there must be a lot of escape routes.

But even so, many people on both sides were choked to death or roasted to death in the smoke and dust. After Zai Lejiu led people to chase them out for a few streets, the fire basically blocked all the original exits. Yan Liangwen and Chou He also escaped on top of a house that had been burned and collapsed.

Le saw this, and saw that his subordinates were less than a thousand, he gritted his teeth: "Retreat!"

Who knows whether the opponent will die or not, Le doesn't have to fight to the death with the opponent. At this time, his own people are also exhausted.

Wait for Le to retreat to Ximen, there are basically not many people here.The 1000 of them breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ran away.

However, when Le just reached the west of the city, only two or three miles away, he saw the corpses of many soldiers. Although it was dark now, the corpses were still very easy to identify.

Le took a closer look and found the corpses of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and even a few horses.

"My lord..." Le said to the remaining one thousand people, "My lord must have left from the west gate and met Yuan Shao's ambush."

"But it seems that there are not many ambushes. The two sides killed a battle and went south."

"We are going south immediately, and I hope the Lord will not have any accidents. If anyone is exhausted, rest where they are and follow behind!"

Le also knew that the morale was not high now, so he said this directly to his subordinates.At this time, what he needs are soldiers who can still fight, not a burden that will collapse at the touch of a finger.

As soon as this sentence was finished, many people came out of the team sparsely.Most of these people were from the former gentry, but most of the recruits trained with the kite method stayed in the team.

There could be two hundred of these people, and the first person said to Le, "General, I really can't move anymore. It's not that I don't want to follow, I haven't eaten all night, and going now will add to the chaos."

Le sighed: "I know, I won't blame you guys... Go south and return to Runan by yourself."

"The rest of you, follow me south to find the lord!"

Le immediately led his men to chase, and finally caught up with Yuan Shu's remnant soldiers about ten miles southeast of Qiaocheng.

Now Yuan Shu had more than 2000 people left, and basically all of these 2000 people were wounded, including Yuan Shu, who had two stab wounds on his body.

But around them, that is to say, from the front where Le had found the fighting corpses here, there were definitely more than [-] corpses of the enemy.There was even the corpse of an enemy general in front of Yuan Shu.

Le came to the front to take a look, and found that the corpse belonged to Yuan Shao's general Zhu Ling.It seems that he was beheaded here by Yuan Shu and Liang Gang, as well as thousands of soldiers under him.

Seeing Le Jiu, Yuan Shu brought hundreds of people over, grabbed Le Jiu's body and cried. "Li Feng died at the bridge ahead, and I lost one arm. Now that General Le has also escaped, my other arm was saved!"

As soon as Le heard this, he also cried, and Liang Gang and the other three were also crying with joy.

But at this time, not far away, Ji Ling rushed back with a few people. The bandage on his left arm was full of blood, but the wound that had just healed for more than half a month burst again in front.

"My lord, the enemy has dispersed, but Yuan Shao will find us soon, we must retreat immediately without delay!"

Yuan Shu nodded, and then said to several people: "Okay, let's go back to Runan together."

After saying this, Yuan Shu's expression froze. He shook his head and said, "I'm not convinced, do you and my brother dare to fight again?!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, the others were stunned.Ji Ling asked directly: "Are we going back to Runan to recruit soldiers if we don't listen?"

Yuan Shu shook his head: "When we came out, we had already hollowed out Runan's family. Now there are only [-] recruits in Runan, and it is a blessing to be able to resist Yuan Shao's attack in the hands of Yan Xiang."

"When Yuan Shao digests the north of Runan, it is equivalent to trapping us in Runan. If we have no soldiers or generals, I am afraid that the only way to go is defeat."

"In the east, Peiguo is still in the hands of Liu Xun, so it's not completely occupied by Yuan Shao. However, it's impossible to generate a large number of troops here to resist Yuan Shao's army."

"But in fact, there is another place, and there is another place we can choose." Yuan Shu looked to the southeast direction and smiled: "That is Jiujiang County!"

Jiujiang County is now unmanaged, although this is the boundary of Yangzhou.Originally, this was the territory of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by Dong Zhuo. Later, Sun Jian took charge of Yangzhou as herder, and some conflicts broke out with Liu Yao.

However, because Liu Yao only controlled one county, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian had been using troops against Jingzhou, Jiujiang was basically regarded as an autonomous state, and no one took care of it or others.

But after Zhiyuan supported Liu Bian to re-ascend to the throne, Liu Yao thought about it and took people to Qingzhou.And because Yuan Shu didn't join Qingzhou, Sun Jian didn't plan to turn against Yuan Shu, so Jiujiang County became a buffer zone.

Qingzhou did not send any officials there, nor did Yuan Shu occupy it.But this place still belongs to Qingzhou in name. Although there are no high-level officials, the grassroots are all Liu Bian's ministers.

However, this county did not reject Yuan Shu. Maybe it was because Yuan Shu didn't pay attention to this county, but they didn't like Sun Jian at all. Maybe it was because Sun Jian attacked here.

Yuan Shu intends to go here to recruit soldiers, because the enemy of Qingzhou is also Yuan Shao.If I can persuade some gentry to support me, it is not impossible to take away some soldiers in Jiujiang.

If you can pull away more than 2 people from Jiujiang, plus your current 3000 people, it is not impossible to kill them back.Because Yuan Shao was short of food, all the food was burned by himself!

The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he explained his plan to Ji Ling and Liang Gangle.It's not impossible for the three of them to hear it, it seems that the lord himself has more ideas.

Now several people can be regarded as living and dying together, since Yuan Shu intends to go to Jiujiang, then they just follow.The only problem is that Yuan Shu has never experienced such hardships since he was a child...

After leaving Qiao they had no food, no water, and no money.Of course...the neighborhood has been mopped up by Lu Bu and his men for several months, even if they have money, it's useless, not even people.

The next day Yuan Shu couldn't take it anymore. Camping in the wild was very hard, and he couldn't be more comfortable than the tent he usually lives in while marching.And it was cold and drank at night, so he got up in the morning and asked his subordinates: "I want to drink honey water, go and get it for me."

Where to find it, the soldier didn't know what to say.But it happened that Liang Gang came to Yuan Shu's place at this time, seeing this situation, he immediately sent the soldier away.

"My lord... It is very difficult for the army to find water now, so where can they get honey water. I hope the princess will be patient for now, as long as they reach Jiujiang."

Yuan Shu sighed. To be honest, he regretted coming here now. He didn't even have hot food to eat along the way. After all, there were Yuan Shao's pursuers behind.

"Liang Gang, where is the princess now?" Yuan Shu suddenly asked Liang Gang.

But Liang Gang didn't know either, they were trapped here for more than half a year, Yuan Shao was not a fool and basically blocked all the information around him.So Liang Gang thought for a while and said, "Maybe he's still in Jingzhou, so Liu Biao won't be defeated so easily."

Yuan Shu nodded, then sighed again: "If she can help me, how could I be defeated by Yuan Shao."

"Supporting a child to be the emperor, how can it be as interesting as saying that one is the same?!"

Liang Gang didn't dare to answer this question, but he thought for a while and said to Yuan Shu: "The princess is very fond of the past. She took care of Liu Bian in Luoyang back then, and later the emperor entrusted Liu Bian to the princess. I plan to support Liu Bian to power."

"Besides, Liu Bian is also orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and the princess may need the support of more people. If the lord is really capable in the future, I believe the princess will definitely help you again."

After saying this, Yuan Shu quite agreed, and even nodded to Liang Gang and said, "You're right, now I'm just suffering a little setback."

"If I can drive Yuan Shao out of Yuzhou and win Yanzhou, I will have real capital. Then let the princess support me, and the world will be settled!"

"At that time, he will only be a child. How could the princess not choose Liu Bian again? The big deal is to give him a good official position and take care of him for the rest of his life."

Yuan Shu was very happy, even his fatigue was swept away, he didn't plan to drink the honey water, he asked Liang Gang for a water bag and drank it all in one gulp. "Clean up and set off immediately, my brother will definitely get rid of me first."

Yuan Shu guessed right, and even accelerated the marching speed.But not long after entering Jiujiang County, cavalry spies came to report to Yuan Shu, saying that a cavalry team of about 3000 men had chased him from behind.

Who is chasing here?It was Zhang He, who was scolded by Yuan Shao, because he not only let Yuan Shu go, but also made Yuan Shu burn the granary.

But there is no way, if I really killed Yuan Shu by myself, I am afraid that it would not be better than myself.And Yuan Shao seemed to be aware of this problem, he sighed and said to Zhang Yun.

"Lead another [-] cavalry to chase down the rebels. It's best if you can catch them alive. If you can't, you can do whatever you want. I won't blame you!"

When Yuan Shao said this, he didn't care about it at all. The princes were not for their own selfish desires, so what if they were related?

Zhang Yun sighed, and then took his men down to prepare, so he caught up with Yuan Shu again in Jiujiang territory.

Although Yuan Shu is now surrounded by elites, they have been running for several days. After all, they are infantry and now they are exhausted.

Ji Ling saw a small town not far away, and immediately said to Yuan Shu, "Why don't we go to that town and use the city walls to defend it?"

Seeing Zhang He's cavalry approaching, Yuan Shu immediately ordered people to throw away the heavy objects, and ran desperately towards the small town.When Yuan Shu arrived at this small town, he found that there was already a team gathering in this town.

On the low wall, there was a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old looking at Yuan Shu below. "Who are you?"

Yuan Shu shouted to the city wall with a dejected look: "I am Yuan Shu, governor of Yuzhou, and those chasing soldiers behind are Yuan Shao's army. Hundreds of thousands of them invaded my territory, and I have been defeated..."

The young general was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then said to Yuan Shu, "Inspector of Yuzhou? The official position is not small. If I let you enter the city, how much official position will you give me?"

Yuan Shu said without hesitation, "General position!"

The young general nodded: "Okay, come here, open the city gate."

"Inspector Yuan, welcome to Qu'a..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhi Yuan heard the news of Yuan Shu's defeat from Cao Cao's mouth, and nodded. "It seems that you have settled down in Yuzhou, but you don't know how much benefit you can get from Meng De?"

Cao Cao shook his head indifferently: "There is no need to provoke the relationship between us, princess, you should know that our enemy is you now."
