    "We can only retreat."

    Geng Bao thought for a while and said with a gloomy face.

    "How to retreat?"

    Zhang Jue also looked very unhappy and worried at this time. When he heard Geng Bao's words, he asked.

    There are less than 20,000 soldiers in the camp now, and many of them are injured and sick. Before, 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers could not capture Nanpi City and defeat Liu Zhe. Now there are less than 20,000 soldiers. If you want to defeat Liu Zhe, it will be difficult.  Idiots talk in their sleep.

    But how to retreat is also a problem. If you just retreat with the soldiers without doing anything, Liu Ze will definitely pounce on him and bite him hard. With the few remaining troops under Geng Bao, Liu Zhe may eat them all.

    Zhang Jue said: "There are many wounded among the soldiers. Retreating with them will slow down the speed and make it easier for Liu Zhe to pursue. But without them, the soldiers will definitely lose morale, and mutiny may even be possible."

    "Zhang Jue, do you think in this situation, do we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?" Geng Bao suddenly asked.

    "Now?"

    After Zhang Jue was silent for a while, he finally shook his head bitterly and uttered two words with difficulty: "It's difficult."

    Geng Bao and their hometown have been raided now. Even if Geng Bao can retreat and defeat the enemy, it is absolutely impossible to gather so many soldiers and horses again.  This time the uprising can be said to be a complete failure.

    "You said we should go back, is there any other way?" Geng Bao asked again.

    Zhang Jue shook his head silently.

    Geng Bao said: "The matter has come to this, it is time for the strong man to cut off his wrist."

    "What do you mean?" Zhang Jue didn't understand Geng Bao's words.

    "There are less than 20,000 soldiers in the camp now, and most of them are wounded. Carrying them will only be a burden." Geng Bao's voice was very calm, but the cruelty inside was fully exposed.

    Zhang Jue¡¯s eyes showed shock, his mouth opened wide, he looked at Geng Bao in disbelief, and struggled to spit out a few words: "You mean, you want, you want, abandon them?"

    "There is no way around this."

    Geng Bao looked very calm and said: "This is not my original intention, but this is reality and I have to give up on them."

    Zhang Jue's face turned pale and he said, "Aren't you afraid that the other soldiers will lose their military morale? Without the support of the soldiers, once Liu Zhe attacks, who will resist Liu Zhe?"

    Geng Bao¡¯s eyes were full of cold blood and he said: ¡°So, I want to give up all of them.¡±

    "What?" Zhang Jue almost jumped up, his voice was loud, but then he quickly covered his mouth to prevent his voice from being heard. This matter is too sensitive and serious. Once it is exposed by the soldiers outside,  Knowing that their coach is giving up on them, no one is sure what they can do.

    "Give them up?" Zhang Jue asked in a low voice, "Why?"

    "It would be too conspicuous to retreat with them."

    Geng Bao had already thought about it and said calmly: "As soon as we retreat, Liu Zhe will definitely chase us. They are no match for Liu Zhe."

    "Besides, there is no use in returning to Gaocheng. We can leave the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood. We need to go somewhere else, a place where Liu Zhe can't find us. Wait for the opportunity and make a comeback."

    Zhang Jue understood what Geng Bao meant, and said, "Are you going to use all the soldiers here as cover to attract Liu Zhe's attention, and then take the opportunity to sneak away to a place Liu Zhe doesn't know?"

    ¡°That¡¯s right, and without further delay, it¡¯s best to take action tonight¡±

    Zhang Jue asked: "Where should we retreat to?"

    "I already have an idea."

    Geng Bao didn¡¯t say where he was going, he just said, ¡°We¡¯ll find out in the evening.¡±

    Although Zhang Jue did not abandon him and run away, Geng Bao was still wary and refused to reveal the entire plan to Zhang Jue.

    "Where are the soldiers?" Zhang Jue asked again.

    "Li Lin is an old man who has followed me for many years and is loyal to me. I will ask him to lead a retreat early tomorrow morning to attract Liu Zhe and buy us time."

    Geng Bao said slowly: "No matter how powerful Liu Zhe is, he can't kill all these soldiers in an instant. By the time he finds out that he has been fooled, we will already be safe."

    Zhang Jue looked at Geng Bao. Geng Bao wanted to use the remaining soldiers' lives as bait, just to buy himself time. However, Zhang Jue couldn't object. After all, he didn't want to stay and wait for death, so he nodded silently in the end.

    In the evening, after Geng Bao arranged everything, after Wu time, he and Zhang Jue took seven or eight guards and left secretly.Land, fled to the southwest.

    "Let's go to Gaotang Port in the plain first and look for an opportunity to cross the river."

    After leaving the camp and traveling a long distance, Geng Bao told Zhang Juai his destination: "Then he will go to Prime Minister Cao."

    "Prime Minister Cao and Mr. Yuan are close friends. He will definitely protect us." Geng Bao said.

    Pingyuan County has a ferry at Gaotang Port, and Bohai County also has a ferry at Leling. However, Geng Bao did not dare to cross the river from Leling. Crossing the river from Leling was too far to go to Yanzhou, and the probability of accidents was high over long distances.

    Zhang Jue nodded. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao used to be friends in Luoyang City and often hung out together. However, he was a little worried. After all, Cao Cao was the prime minister now. Would he offend Liu Zhe for little people like them?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
