Two days later, Yuan Shao led the remnants to Nanpi City, the capital of Bohai County. At this time, it was only less than 20 days before he led his men to attack Pingyuan County. However, the more than 100,000 tribes were left at this time, and they were all covered in dust.

"Guo Jia, do you know your crime?" After Yuan Shao reached Nanpi for an hour, he immediately summoned a group of counselors and generals to discuss matters. At this time, several confidant generals had learned about Yuan Shao's specific experience of this trip. As soon as the discussion began, Xun Chen stepped forward and pointed the finger directly at Guo Jia, who was standing at the bottom.

As one of the earliest counselors to follow Yuan Shao, Xun Chen knew Yuan Shao's temperament very well. His purpose in targeting Guo Jia like this was to give Yuan Shao a step and protect Yuan Shao's attitude.

Of course, Xun Chen also had the intention to find a scapegoat and regain morale for Yuan Shao's subordinates. Anyway, Guo Jia looked just a young boy in his 10s and 20s, so it would be perfect to take it out to get Yuan Shao out of his predicament.

"I heard that it was this child who made a random idea that led to the defeat of the prefect..."

"Yes, the prefect has been besieging Pingyuan City for half a month, and the guards in the city will be defeated without attacking..."

"This son should be punished severely!"

“…”

As soon as Xun Chenfang said this, the civil and military members of Yuan Shao also agreed. These people were all people who knew Yuan Shao's temperament well, and most of them thought of Xun Chen to find a scapegoat for Yuan Shao's failure, so as not to shame Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia was stunned by this situation, although Guo Jia had seen some of Yuan Shao's temperament before. He had made some psychological preparations to explain to Yuan Shao and take the initiative to apologize. However, it was just out of etiquette, the subordinates took responsibility for their superiors and superiors. Guo Jia did not think that it was his plan that led to Yuan Shao's failure.

After all, Guo Jia knew the situation that Yuan Shao was in at that time. If he had not happened in time, Yuan Shao would have been defeated even worse. After he arrived at Yuan Shao's tent, he first saw through the intentional weakness of the plain guards, and then blocked some of the losses caused by the Tianling Fire Rain for Yuan Shao. In the end, he tried to persuade Yuan Shao to make up his mind to withdraw his troops, and it could even be said that he had directly escaped from the danger!

The only thing is that the opponent is also very strong. Although Guo Jia has made several good plans for Yuan Shao in a row, most of them have been discovered by the other party and responded in a timely manner, which is also the main reason for Yuan Shao's final defeat.

Therefore, to a certain extent, although Guo Jia was a direct participant in Yuan Shao's defeat, he reduced Yuan Shao's losses to the minimum limit. On this point, Yuan Shao himself was probably quite clear, but at this time, Yuan Shao was blinded too much by the influence of victory or defeat.

"Guo Jia, do you think I should deal with this matter?"

Although everyone present tried to punish Guo Jia, Guo Jia was just surprised at the beginning, and then he returned to his usual calm appearance. This scene naturally made Yuan Shao feel even more uncomfortable in his eyes. So Yuan Shao asked directly.

Yuan Shao's inquiry undoubtedly established his attitude towards Guo Jia, which made Guo Jia feel cold again. He had a glimmer of hope for Yuan Shao, but from now on he had completely given up on Yuan Shao.

"Guo Jia believes that he is wrong, so please let the prefect deal with it at will."

After all, Guo Jia was only about 20 years old. After being punished by Yuan Shao and his subordinates, even though he still maintained a calm expression on the surface, his heart was actually very upset, and he showed some of his character intentionally or unintentionally.

"You! You..."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Yuan Shao became even more angry. He thought Guo Jia would say something to admit his mistake and beg for mercy, but he did not expect that Guo Jia did not mean to beg for mercy. How could Yuan Shao be able to live up to his face?

"Arrogant!"

"This kind of madman should be punished severely..."

“…”

After Guo Jia finally made a statement, it immediately aroused the anger of Yuan Shao and his group of advisers and military generals, and they all suggested that Yuan Shao punish Guo Jia.

"Let's be imprisoned for the time being, and I'll be punished later!"

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Jia with anger and said with disgust in his eyes.

"Go! Hurry!"

After Yuan Shao's defeat, two guards on both sides of the hall immediately came out and pushed Guo Jia down and threw him directly into the prison for death.

If this scene was not the case in the normal game process, and it was precisely because of Yang Rui's rise in Qingzhou that Guo Jia's experience had also changed, which Yang Rui would never have thought of...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"kill!"

"Kill!"

“…”

At this time, tens of thousands of infantrymen who were brought by Yan Liang and Wen Chou were still attacking the city. This siege lasted for two days, but it still failed to take down Dongping Shu City, which seemed to be weak in defense!

Yan Liang and Wen Chou stood outside the south gate of Shucheng, Dongping. Both of them were quite helpless. If they had not been all cavalrymen, they would have been forced to enter the siege battle at this time. Unfortunately, the cavalry would have been difficult to play a lot in the siege battle, so Yan and Wen could only wait.

However, what made Yan Liang and Wen Chou quite refreshed was that the scout cavalry had just heard news that Han Fu, who was from Wencheng in Hejian, had sent tens of thousands of soldiers to rescue Shucheng in Dongping, and would arrive in about a day. In this way, the two of them would not be too bored.

For Yan Liang, the second general Wen Chou and his 40,000 6th-level Hebei cavalry, Han Fu's tens of thousands of reinforcements came to deliver vegetables, which just made the cavalry department that had not been able to truly kill the enemy for a month.

"Report to the two generals that the prefect's army encountered setbacks in Pingyuan County, and recruited the two generals to lead their troops to temporarily retreat to Nanpi City..."

Just as Yan Liang and Wen Chou were about to launch a strong attack on Han Fu's reinforcements, the soldiers from Nanpi brought unexpected news. While they were shocked, they had to immediately start summoning troops and prepare to retreat to Nanpi City.

"Report to General Han, Yuan Shao's army... Yuan Shao's army suddenly retreated on the whole line!"

Han Dai soon received news of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's withdrawal in Shu City on Dongping. He suddenly stood up and came to the direction of the south city gate. Looking at Yuan Shao's troops who were retreating like a tide, Han Dai breathed a deep breath.

Although Yuan Shao's siege soldiers have not posed a substantial threat to Dongping Shucheng, the strength of Yan Liang and Wen Chou is still very scared by Han Dai. Once the two of them directly participate in the siege battle, I am afraid that no one in the city can stop these two people!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, Yuan Shao's troops in Pingyuan County were repelled and all the lost counties were taken back. Yang Rui was also relieved. At least in this stage of the confrontation, Yuan Shao did not get any advantage.

There are too many things that Yang Rui needs to deal with at present. The promotion of the two systems of counties and counties in Qingzhou requires manpower, and at the same time, it is necessary to actively expand the development of troops. In addition, Yang Rui also wants to participate in the plot of [Dong Zhuo Rebellion], as well as the migration of NPC civilians in Heyin County. I don’t know if he has reached the Qingzhou boundary for a month...

However, Yuan Shao's threat still exists. While dealing with these matters, Yang Rui still needs to invest a large number of personnel and troops in Pingyuan County. Furthermore, it is necessary to contact Han Fu, Jizhou. Since Yang Rui angered Yuan Shao, most of the pressure in the previous stage was borne by Qingzhou. Now it is necessary to take advantage of the victory to urge Han Fu.

So Yang Rui first sent an envoy to Jizhou, and Chen Lin still drafted the document. Since the previous two times did not work, this document also expressed some coercion in it, vaguely expressing Yang Rui's plan to give up the area north of the Yellow River and guard the Yellow River and Ji River! If Yang Rui really did this, it would be like throwing all the pressure from Yuan Shao to Han Fu.

Of course, it was impossible for Yang Rui to truly give up the territory of Pingyuan County. However, Yang Rui had a good word with Han Fu in the first two times, but there was no reply. This time, Yang Rui faintly expressed his dissatisfaction.

Chen Lin was also very attentive to this matter. The documents he drafted in the first two times did not play the due role. This was undoubtedly a shameless thing for Chen Lin. Therefore, Chen Lin was really angry when he drafted this time!

After reading his documents, Yang Rui was deeply touched and realized what it means to be a real "literary and slandering". In fact, Chen Lin's relevant skills are the aspect of defamation of words, so this document seems more imposing, which means that Chen Lin is more suitable for writing a manifesto.

Yang Rui was a little wronged about Han Fu. In fact, after Han Fu received Yang Rui's second secret letter, he summoned the counselors and the generals agreed on a relatively mature opinion and sent an envoy to Pingyuan City to convey it. However, Pingyuan City was surrounded by Yuan Shao's troops at that time, and Yang Rui commanded the cavalry to make trouble behind Bohai County. After the envoy could not convey it, he returned to Jizhou, but Yang Rui and others were not aware of this matter.

After recovering the various county towns in the plain, it took three or four days. Yang Rui was about to go to Qingzhou to start expanding the army first, but at this time he unexpectedly received a secret letter from the envoy of Yuan Shao!

"Does Yuan Benchu ​​want to divide Jizhou with me? Is this his true thought? In my opinion, it is just a delaying strategy..."
