Chapter 193 Blame and intercede

In the middle of the night, a wisp of autumn wind blew away the heat of the day, and also blew away the battle outside Qingtao City.

As the battle ended, only soldiers from both sides were cleaning the battlefield outside the city.

The ground was in a mess, the corpses were everywhere, and the blood flowed into rivers, which became a lingering impression in Yuan Jun's mind.

Even many people are still in the shock that Guan Ning Cavalry brought to them just now.

The dust city at this moment is desolate.

At this moment, Yuan Jun was terrified.

While Wei Zhongdao and Zhang Liang were talking, Zhu Ling also brought the other four generals back to Yuan Shao's mansion to plead guilty.

The candles flickered, the figures scattered, and the shaking candles made the figures on the ground sway constantly, as if the huge Yuan family building was about to collapse!

"My lord, Zhu Ling and other four generals are asking to see you outside." A soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Let them in - come!"

"promise!

Zhu Ling and others came back at this time, of course, to report the battle situation in the north of the city, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to know how the situation there.

Soon, Zhu Ling brought Yan Chang, He Mao, Wang Mo, and Xia Zhao four generals in.

But before Yuan Shao could read the question, they both knelt on the ground at the same time: "The last general is not good in the battle, and I ask the lord to punish him!"

They were sensible, knowing that they had let go of their mistakes and did not dare to conceal them, so they came directly to confess their guilt.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then became furious: "Could it be that our army lost this battle?"

Zhu Lingwu did not dare to answer, but lowered his head in shame.

"What about my son Yuan Xi and the grain and grass?" Yuan Shao asked again when he saw that they didn't speak.

When Zhu Ling saw Yuan Shao's questioning, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Report to your lord, the battle outside the city didn't last long, and our army can't tell where the second son and the forage are going."

"but……"

"But what, hurry up and say it!" Yuan Shao asked hurriedly when he saw Zhu Ling hesitating.

"Back to the lord, the battle over there is over too quickly, and the enemy is cavalry again. I think it is impossible to resist the second son and the five thousand soldiers and horses."5

"The only possibility is for the grain transport team to surrender, the second son... he was either killed or captured!

Zhu Ling did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stated his speculation.

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, sat up from the bed angrily, pointed at Zhu Ling's nose and cursed: "Impossible, this is impossible! 99

"How can my son be a prisoner, he can't be a prisoner!

"Zhu Ling! Don't talk nonsense, or I won't be able to spare you!"

Yuan Shao was furious, causing his anger to attack his heart, instantly triggering the arrow wound on his shoulder.

Yuan Shao gasped in pain and took two steps back.

Xun Chen, who was beside him, was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Shao, which prevented Yuan Shao from making a fool of himself in front of everyone.

"My lord, don't get angry, just lie down on the bed and rest.

As he spoke, he helped Yuan Shao to the bed.

Afterwards, Xun Chen turned his head and looked at Zhu Ling with an angry face: "General Zhu, you can't be trusted to speak out without confirmation!"

"You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe, do you understand?"

Now that the Yuan army is defeated, if it is rumored that even Yuan Xi has been captured by the Wei army, the morale of the soldiers will definitely drop.

In order to stabilize morale and prevent Yuan Shao from being sad, Xun Chen could only instruct Zhu Ling like this.

Fortunately, Zhu Ling was not a fool. He hurried back to his senses when he heard the words. He saluted and explained to Yuan Shao:

"My lord, what Mr. Youruo taught me was that the last general was reckless and should not guess, and ask the lord to punish him!

The other four generals looked at each other when they saw this, and then Xia Zhao was the first to stand up and say in agreement: "For the sake of General Zhu Ling's constant charge, please bypass him.

"Yes, my lord, General Zhu Ling just expressed his speculations, and did not mean to disturb the military's heart.

Yan Chang also saluted and interceded for Zhu Ling: "My lord, General Zhu is just an unintentional fault, and has no other intentions."

"I believe that the second son, Jiren, has his own vision and will be fine. 35

He Mao echoed his words: "Yes, my lord, General Zhu is only worried about the second son, that's why he made a blunder."35

"I also ask the lord to bypass General Zhu this time, for the sake of General Zhu's efforts to kill the enemy and instructing our army to withdraw safely.

The other three generals all pleaded for mercy, and Wang Mo had to stand up: "My lord, if the second son finds that the grain transport team is defeated, he will find a way to break through."

"With the personal soldiers by the second son's side, the second son will be fine. General Zhu just made a slip of the tongue, please don't take it to heart. 35

0...for flowers....

"The lord's injury is critical, please ask the lord to recuperate."

These four people followed Zhu Ling to fight. They knew that Zhu Ling was powerful. The battle was imminent. If something happened to Zhu Ling, it would be a big blow to Yuan Jun.

Even Xun Chen, seeing this situation, hurriedly stood up and said to Zhu Ling: "My lord, General Zhu Ling is not to blame for this, he just made a slip of the tongue."35

"The top priority, our army must determine the whereabouts of the second son and find a way to improve the morale of the soldiers."

"Also, if the food and grass fall into Wei Zhongdao's hands, then the most important thing for our army is to collect the food and grass."

"I made a rough calculation, and my army's rations can only last for about half a month!"

In order to divert Yuan Shao's attention, Xun Chen also took great pains to bring up the lack of food and grass.

Yuan Shao panicked when he heard that his food and grass could only last for half a month.

"This...this...is there a way to raise food?"

"There is also news from Yuan Shu in the south, Cao Cao's troops and horses, have they broken through the defense line of the Wei army and rushed here?

"Did Gongsun Zan from the north take down Yijing, did he intend to go south to join our army and attack Wei Zhongdao?

Yuan Shao panicked, and he pinned his hopes on the other three princes, hoping that the other party would come here to meet as soon as possible.

Although he still had about 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city, Yuan Shao knew that there were many recruits in this army and horse, and coupled with the continuous defeats, the morale had dropped to the bottom.

If the soldiers knew that the food in the city was only half a month old, then that's fine!

Rao is that Yuan Shao has seen the big world, and at this moment he can't help but panic.

Xun Chen heard the words with a wry smile: "Today's plan, we can only find a way to see if we can collect food and grass from the people in the city. 99

"As for Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Zan, our army is currently blocked here, and there is no information from the outside world.

"That Wei Zhongdao is also cunning. He knew that our army was waiting for the other three princes, so he deliberately blocked our army here and cut off our army's contact with the outside world."

"But don't worry, lord, that Gongsun Zan has a white horse to follow, and Cao Cao has a tiger and a leopard, so he will definitely be able to defeat Wei Zhongdao's troops and come to the rescue!" Inch.
