Chapter 254 Guan Jing retreats

"Su'er, Su'er!"

After Li Cunxiao led the army away, Gongsun Fan threw himself in front of Gongsun Xu's body with a sad face.

Looking at Gongsun Xu, who was dying in front of him, Gongsun Fan held the other's already cold corpse with trembling hands and shouted:

"Xu'er, don't scare uncle, wake up, wake up!

Unfortunately, it is impossible for the dead to speak, and his cries get no response.

Only the howling north wind, blowing whimper, constantly echoed in the whole forest.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Gongsun Jun couldn't help weeping, each with their heads lowered and their morale lowered.

Even their major generals were killed in the battle. They lost the battle completely, and they felt guilty for it.

Guan Jing saw that the morale of the soldiers was low, and he knew that this could not go on, otherwise the soldiers would not be able to fight anymore.

"Gong "Six Seven Zero" General Sun Fan, please express your condolences. I'll discuss what to do next."

Guan Jing said as he walked over to pat Gongsun Fan on the shoulder to comfort him.

But Gongsun Fan didn't wait for Guan Jing to meet him, he shouted angrily: "Go away!""

The sharp sword in his hand immediately pointed at Guan Jing, his eyes were red, and he asked angrily: "You said, why didn't this general lead the army to fight with the enemy army just now!"

"It's not your nephew who died, don't you feel bad about it?"

"But don't forget, he Gongsun Xu is your major general, don't you want to avenge him?"

Gongsun Fan still couldn't forget Guan Jing's behavior just now, and he wanted Guan Jing to give himself an explanation.

Guan Jing frowned when he saw Gongsun Fan like this: "General Gongsun Fan, you are too impulsive."9

"Major General died, and Ben was also very saddened, wishing to kill the enemy and Wei Zhongdao to avenge the Major General.

"But you look at the soldiers around you and see what their situation is now. Do you want them to fight with Wei Jun in this way?"

The key voice became louder and louder, and at the end, he pointed at the group of Gongsun Jun who had their heads down and their morale was low.

When Gongsun Fan heard the words, he turned his head to look, and as expected, he found that all the Gongsun troops were in low morale at the moment, their faces were dark and exhausted.

Gongsun Fan was stunned, and the sword he was holding was slowly rotten and left behind.

He is not someone who makes trouble without reason. He knows that what Guan Jing said is right. If he really led the army to rush to kill just now, with the situation of this group of soldiers, it would be difficult to defeat the Wei army.

"Hey, General Gongsun Fan, you should understand that at this point in this battle, the 20,000 soldiers of our army should have no chance of surviving."

“Now our army is in a very dangerous situation, and there are only two paths in front of our army.35

Guan Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gongsun Fan put down his sword.

He was really afraid that Gongsun Fan would go crazy and attack him just now. After all, the other party was Gongsun Zan's younger brother, so it was impossible for him to attack him.

Fortunately, Gongsun Fan finally restrained, and then they could discuss the follow-up.

Gongsun Fan frowned when he heard this: "I also ask General Guan to say it clearly!

Guan Jing pointed to Li Cunxiao's soldiers and horses who were leaving and said: "The first way is to rectify the soldiers and horses, and go to set up camp outside Yijing City. 35

"Although the major general's army has been defeated, we can't just let the Wei army feel better!"

"Staying outside of Yijing City will at least make them scruples."

"But the problem is, if this is the case, the Wei army in the city will also find a way to deal with our army."

"Judging from the battle situation last night, there are at least 30,000 Wei troops in Yijing City, otherwise it is impossible to defeat my major general so easily."

"And the general named Li Cunxiao just now had many archers ambushed in his army, which shows that the opponent's arms are very complete."

"This is also one of the reasons why I stopped the general from going to battle just now. The other party came prepared. If our army went to battle just now, they would definitely be shot by random arrows!"

Gongsun Fan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized to Guan Jing: "It was General Guan who was wrongly blamed!"

"I didn't expect Wei Zhongdao to increase troops in Yijing City, but our army has not received any news.""

Gongsun Fan was surprised that there were so many soldiers in the Wei army, and he didn't quite believe it.

But Guan Jing smiled bitterly: "This Wei Zhongdao is really strange, every time he goes to a place his troops will increase.

"He eliminated Yuan Shao and captured Jizhou, not only did he not reduce his troops, but instead increased a lot.

Wei Zhongdao would sign in every time he went to a city, and naturally there were more and more troops under his command, which was understandable, but it also aroused the vigilance of many people.

Guan Jing noticed this, so he was not surprised that there were so many soldiers in the Wei army.  …

"This..." Gongsun Fan couldn't help but hesitated when he heard the words: "If Yijing really has 30,000 soldiers and horses, then our army's 10,000 people will only be meat to the enemy's mouth in the past!

Gongsun Fan knew very well that based on their situation, if Yijing City really had 30,000 soldiers and horses, then they would not be able to block each other.

After all, even Gongsun Xu and Yan Gang's 20,000 troops were destroyed, and their 10,000 people were just serving food.

After a pause, Gongsun Fan asked again, "I don't know what the second way is?"

Guan Jing let out a long sigh, pointed to the truth behind him, and said, "The second way is of course to retreat and preserve our strength."35

"However, it is impossible for our army to make Wei army feel better, we will retreat to Fan Yang and block the way of Wei army northward.

"If the enemy wants to take Youzhou, Fan Yang is the city they must take. As long as our army is taken over there, they can't do anything about it."

"Fanyang City's city walls are tall, and the city has sufficient food and grass, plus there are two thousand county soldiers, our army will be able to make a big shock after the convergence. 55

"I wonder what General Gongsun Fan thinks?"

After all, Gongsun Fan was Gongsun Zan's younger brother, so he still had to discuss such a big matter.

Gongsun Fan pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "According to General Guan's words, first retreat to Fan Yang to defend this city and then talk about it."

"But before leaving, our army must first figure out the situation of this battle and inquire about the direction of the 20,000 troops of our army.

"It can't be that we all came here, but we don't know anything, if this is the case, I don't have the face to face the main bus.

Gongsun Fan's meaning is very simple. He wants to see how Gongsun Xu's 20,000 soldiers and horses are doing, and also wants to know how they were defeated in the battle last night.

In this battle, a Gongsun Xu was killed. If they didn't understand the situation, Gongsun Zan would not be able to let it go.

As the son of Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Xu's death is of great importance. Gongsun Fan, Guan Jing and others must clarify the situation.

Otherwise, Gongsun Zan will be held accountable, and if they don't know anything, then the consequences will be serious.

Guan Jing nodded and agreed: "Yes, I really want to find out how the major general died in battle!"

"Send the order, the army will withdraw to Fan Yang, and secretly send spies to inquire about the battle last night!"
