    Chapter 555: A Thousand Miles of Defeat

    After years of fighting, Yuan Shao could see the situation clearly after calming down. At this moment, he also regretted his impulsiveness and led his army to avoid the death zone of Wuchao, waiting for Jiangdong's army to attack.  However, although the troops who took refuge in Wuchao were elite troops, the total number did not exceed 3,000. Faced with the increasing number of Jiangdong soldiers surrounding them, how could they easily break out?

    The only hope is that one or several Hebei Army troops attack from the outside in, and the troops in Wuchao attack from the inside in, so that there is a possibility of a successful breakthrough.

    Yuan Shao's life should not be cut off. His general Han Meng realized that something was wrong after Yuan Shao took refuge in Wuchao Village, so he led his troops to kill Wuchao.  Han Meng's troops are all descendants of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao usually treats him well, but now he is willing to fight to save him.  After a desperate battle, the position of Gao Shun's troops was finally shaken. Yuan Shao saw the opportunity and took Gao Lan, the commander of the personal guards, as the vanguard, and used many dead soldiers to protect himself and Guo Tu and other counselors. After suffering nearly half of the casualties, Yuan Shao finally succeeded.  Jumped out!

    Once he broke through, Yuan Shao did not stop and went straight to Yanjin Ferry, where there were boats crossing the river and troops guarding the ferry.  When they arrived at the ferry, Yuan Shao was the first to board the wooden boat. When the boatman rowed the wooden boat, Yuan Shao and the counselors under his tent looked back to the south, and they couldn't help but feel sad.

    On this land on the south bank of the Yellow River, more than 100,000 Hebei soldiers are suffering the first complete defeat in their lives!  Ever since they forcibly crossed the White Horse and set foot on this land, they have only suffered one defeat after another. The more this happens, the lower their morale becomes, and the lower their morale becomes, the more defeated they are!

    Behind them were sharp halberds and sharp swords. Except for those who surrendered, the soldiers who tried to resist were swallowed up by the roaring Jiangdong Army officers in an instant.

    "God, why are you so cruel to me?" Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with tears. The resentment accumulated over the past few days couldn't help but explode, and he beat his chest violently with both hands.

    A few months ago, Yuan Shao led his army south. At that time, he was full of confidence and looked down on the world.  With the Yuan family's reputation and strong military strength, as long as they defeat the main force of the Jiangdong Army in Guandu, isn't it easy to sweep across the Central Plains and determine Jiangnan?

    But once he set foot on the land on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao experienced a series of unpleasant things!  Baima forced the crossing and suffered considerable losses, and Lu Su burned thousands of men and horses.  From Baima, Yanjin to Guandu, the grain roads were attacked repeatedly, and the vanguard troops were often ambushed. By the time a company camp of dozens of miles was set up in Guandu, although the momentum was huge, Yuan Shao's inner confidence and pride were gradually worn away.

    The two armies in Guandu were in confrontation. Faced with the Jiangdong Army's tenacious defense and counterattack, the Hebei Army officers were helpless, and the internal conflicts were getting bigger and bigger. Yuan Shaofang knew that his vacillation over which son would succeed him led to the division of his subordinates.  Fighting against each other for the sake of several groups has seriously depleted the strength of the Hebei Army!

    The surging water of the Yellow River swept away so much dust on both sides of the river!  At this moment, what appeared in front of Yuan Shao's eyes was the incomparable power of the Yellow River, with its waves crashing on the shore and running endlessly. For the first time, Yuan Shao felt the awe of heaven and earth. Perhaps, everyone has his own destiny, and the Yuan family is destined not to be able to conquer the world.  ?

    On Yuan Shao's ship, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and other close advisors were all in a mess, with disheveled hair or gray faces. Their clothes were stained with spots, and they didn't know whether they were their own or others. They saw Yuan Shao's actions and felt in their hearts.  It is also very heavy.  The so-called king, minister, minister, father, son, Yuan Shao is their lord, and they are Yuan Shao's ministers. After the defeat in this battle, the Hebei army was seriously injured. It took three to five years to find it difficult to regain the strength to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

    In the past three to five years, Zhou Yu can "hold the emperor against his enemies", and his power will definitely increase greatly. If the world returns to its heart at that time, local heroes will rush to join the army, the armaments will be reorganized, and the agriculture and mulberry fields will develop. Yuan Shao is afraid that he will be the leader  Qingyou has merged with the four states, but it can only look at the Central Plains with excitement.

    ??When people live in hope, no matter how hard and tired they are, if they have hope, they will live happily.  But once his hopes turned into disappointments, and his dreams turned into fantasies, he would not be able to feel the happiness and sense of accomplishment of moving forward even if he had good food and clothing!

    It is such a fulfilling thing to assist the Ming Master to achieve something in his career and thereby earn a fortune for himself and his family that will last for several lifetimes!  pity¡­¡­

    Guo Tu looked back at the officers and soldiers of the Hebei Army running east and west on the south bank of the Yellow River. Although some of them had already boarded the ferry at Yanjin Ferry and were heading towards the north bank, more of his fellow villagers Pao Ze would die.  Here, their souls are pressing on the survivors, making everyone's life feel heavy!  When dreaming back at midnight, I don¡¯t know how many people will wake up from nightmares, covered in sweat!

    "The battle at Guandu will lead to great changes in the world. Where should we go" Guo Tu hid his eyes.A flickering virtual light to avoid being noticed by Yuan Shao.  This idea had arisen in his mind since the day Yuan Shao announced his withdrawal. As both counselors, he did not want to repeat the mistakes of Tian Feng and Ju Sue!

    In particular, Yuan Shao was already in his fifties and his body was no longer as strong as it had been. His uncertainty over the issue of heirs had led to a split in the Hebei army. Now, although the eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang have not openly turned against each other, it is difficult for them to do so.  The momentum of the two tigers has been established. The two tigers are fighting each other. No matter who wins and who loses, for the Hebei Army, the result can only be losses for both sides!

    In Confucian thought, the eldest son is naturally the best heir, and abolishing the eldest son and establishing the younger son would interfere with etiquette.  Guo Tu was in Yuan Tan's camp. Although he and Xin Ping and others tried their best to protect Yuan Tan, he was not very optimistic about Yuan Tan.  The reason is very simple. Yuan Shao has obviously leaned towards Yuan Shang. No matter how hard they try, the outcome may not be changed.

    "Perhaps, I should find a way out" Guo Tu's eyes flickered uncertainly, and occasionally his eyes collided with Xin Ping's. They met briefly and then avoided it again.  This is a major matter involving one's family and one's life, how could it be leaked so easily?  Not even the slightest thought can be known to others, otherwise, it would be easy to be ruined, and it would not be an exaggeration to implicate the nine clans!

    When Yuan Shao and his party crossed the river in embarrassment and looked back to the south, the fighting between Jiangdong Army and Hebei Army had reached a fever pitch!  After all, the Hebei Army is also an elite warrior. Even in adversity, it is still able to organize and form small formations to resist the Jiangdong Army's attack.

    But everything they did at this time was in vain. It could only delay the failure. The coach fled and morale collapsed. Their failure was inevitable!

    When this big news reached Liyang City, when Zhao Yun went to inspect the city in the early morning of the next day, he found that all the Bingzhou cavalry that besieged the city had withdrawn.  To Zhao Yun's delight, Xia Zhao and Deng Sheng, in order to lead the soldiers from Bingzhou back to their hometown, chose to cross the Taihang Mountains and return from the trail. A large number of soldiers and horses were abandoned by them in the camp.
