Chapter 552 No way to go

On the field, Zhang Liao was expelled by sticks, and the rest of the Cao army were all detained by Yuan Shangqiang, which made everyone in the field feel crazy as if they were in trouble, crying and urinating. However, Yuan Shang had no sympathy and forced himself to break up the couple, leaving all the Cao army behind, and drove Zhang Liao out of the battlefield alone.

Ma Chao kept watching Yuan Shang's actions, holding the gun without saying a word. It was not until Yuan Shang cleaned up the field that Ma Chao walked up and looked up at Yuan Shangyan, who was energetic in the chariot and said, "Just let him go?"

Yuan Shang turned his head and looked at Ma Chao in confusion: "Who?"

"Zhang Liao."

Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Of course, if he doesn't let him go, according to his personality, he will definitely be desperate and fight a war. If it's a life-and-death situation, how bad the impact is, why bother?"

"But..." Ma Chao was a little confused when he heard this. Haven't you always wanted to subdue Zhang Liao? You finally forced him to the end of your life, but let him go. Then wouldn't the efforts we made before be in vain? In order to capture him, even Li Dian and Le Jin, who were originally in the jar, escaped. What is our battle for?"

Yuan Shang smiled and waved his fingers, saying, "You will understand in a short while, don't talk about this for now! Let's take me to see what the battlefield situation is in the battle against Dongwu."

Just as Yuan Shang led the four generals to deal with Cao's army, the battle between the Eastern Wu and other generals of the Yuan army had come to an end. Due to the timely tent sacrificing and steady departure of the Eastern Wu, the Yuan army did not gain any big advantage. Yuan Shang watched the situation of the Eastern Wu's cut off the rear, and did not ask for a pursuit immediately. After all, the Eastern Wu's strength was still quite strong, and it would not be too beneficial to pursue head-on. Instead, he would be deeply involved in it. His current mission should be to destroy the Cao family! After destroying the Cao family and unifying Zhongzhou...

Let's calculate the dispute between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu in Xuzhou.

Yuan Shang did not pursue. The soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wu were happy and stable. Everyone slowly came out, and the soldiers were floating in the water, intending to return to Jiangdong. After this military order, the generals of the Eastern Wu were safe, but one of them began to make trouble.

This person is nothing else. He is the beautiful princess of Dongwu and Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Sun Quan.

When Sun Shangxiang heard that Sun Quan had withdrawn his troops back to Wu, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly ran to Sun Quan to come and condone his grievances.

"Second brother! Why should we withdraw troops? Don't you help me kill that beast Yuan Shang!" Sun Shangxiang's eyes were wet and she looked at Sun Quan with a grief.

When Sun Quan saw Sun Shangxiang's appearance, his head suddenly had a headache.

"Shang Xiang. It's not that my brother doesn't help you. The problem is that according to my later understanding, Yuan Shang didn't do anything to you in front of the three armies that day... He... He just caught you and kissed you. Oh~~, although it's hateful, the matter has just passed. Now it's still dominated by the great cause of Dongwu, why bother to argue?"

Sun Shangxiang was furious when she heard this and stomped her feet and said, "Second brother, are you still my biological brother! If the eldest brother was alive, I would not let me be bullied like this. After all, I am the sister of Master Wu. If I were another man on weekdays, I would not even touch a single finger. This time, Yuan Shang kissed and touched it. You are my brother, so it would be fine if you don't make the decision for me, why would you still say such words!"

Sun Quan said helplessly: "Little sister, my brother will definitely find justice for you the next day. It's just that the current situation is not useful for our army to stay in Xuzhou. If you are fighting with Yuan Shangqiang here for your own personal grudges, how can you let your brother face the generals and ministers in Jiangdong? How can you be worthy of your elder brother's entrustment? Be good, stop making trouble!"

Sun Shangxiang was still about to speak, but heard a cough suddenly sounding behind her. However, Zhou Yu came to beat the horse.

Zhou Yu heard all the conversation between the two of them just now. He planned for a moment, and then came over to rescue Sun Quan.

"Prince, don't worry, today's retreat is just a slowing flag. Yuan Shang's unbearable beast, Yu will not forgive him the next day. Yu has a good plan to vent his anger for the princess, but it's not yet mature. Let's go back to Dongwu and then discuss slowly. How about it?"

Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed when she heard this: "Brother Gongjin has a plan to help me vent my anger? Don't lie to me!"

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "What did the princess say? Even if Zhou Yu has the courage, he will not dare to deceive you."

Sun Shangxiang was also single-celled. He was immediately happy when he heard this. He jumped back to command his own army. Sun Quan wiped the sweat from his head, turned to ask Zhou Yu, and said, "Gongjin, you just said that you had a plan to deal with Yuan Shang for Shangxiang, but it was true."

Zhou Yu sighed and replied, "Fake it!"

"Ah?" Sun Quan was anxious when he heard this: "Aren't you making a fool of yourself? When you returned to Dongwu, the girl asked him. We had no plan to return her, so she would have to make trouble all over the family!"

Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Mr. Wu, I just saw Princess Shangxiang, and suddenly had an idea in my mind. I don't know whether it is feasible or not, and I want to discuss it with you."

When Sun Quan heard this, he said, "What's your thought?"

Zhou Yu said: "The Battle of Xuzhou proved that our Jiangdong troops heading north to lay the foundation, and it was still too early. For the current plan, it is better to seize half of the Yangtze River first."

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Yes, I understand this time. Dongwu should not think about anything else. The overall situation of the battle between Yuan and Cao will be determined. If nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Shang will unify the north. By then, his troops will be powerful. By the land of Dongwu alone, we are afraid that we will not be able to compete with him. The important strategy at the moment is to seize Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, nodded, and said, "No, but does the Marquis of Wu have a good plan to seize Jingzhou?"

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, thinking for a while, and then said, "Although Liu Bei is not in Jingzhou, he is guarding Guan Yu. This person is extremely brave and trembling with China. It is not appropriate to deal with it. If you talk about a good plan, I really don't have one at the moment."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "I have one."

When Sun Quan heard this, he hurriedly said, "What good strategy?"

"You can make Princess Shangxiang marry someone from Liu Bei, and then..."

Zhou Yu offered Sun Quan a marriage plan, intending to plan for Jingzhou, but this trick caused the future drama of "Sun Shangxiang's ultimate move in martial arts competition, Yuan Shang and Liu Bei's wits and courage."

************************************

When the Eastern Wu retreated, Yuan Shang pursued him deeply. At the moment, he was not interested in the Eastern Wu, only Zhang Liao was interested in it.

After handing over the battlefield to his subordinates, Yuan Shang immediately began to discuss matters about Zhang Liao with Pang Ji and others.

A temporary shelf was set up on the battlefield. The map of Zhongzhou was spread on it. Yuan Shang looked at the topographic map and said, "Ping Ji, I heard you say last time, how many paths are there in total when returning to Yanzhou from Xuzhou?"

Zhang Ji pointed to the map and said, "There are twelve items in total."

Yuan Shang nodded with a smile and said, "And all Cao's army is guarding me?"

Pang Ji hurriedly said: "Of course, my subordinates had already told his lord last time that the situation was tense during the war. Cao's army arranged camps in the main roads of Xuzhou, Yanzhou. The twelve routes were guarded by Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou He, Xiahou Shang and others..."

"Stop!" Yuan Shang raised his hand and signaled to Zheng Ji Zhenyan, saying, "It's enough to say this. What I want to know now is, which road is Xiahou Shang guarding?"

Zheng Ji looked down at the map, then raised his hand and pointed at one of them, saying, "It's this way."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang raised a smile on his lips.

"Very good. Zhang Liao was alone, with no horses and injured at his feet, so he could not walk fast. He quickly sent our cavalry to him, blocked his way to other Cao Jun camps, and forced him to Xiahou Shang's journey! He was allowed to walk to Xiahou Shang's camps!"

Beside Yuan Shang. Ma Chao seemed to have some clarity after hearing Yuan Shang's words. He looked at Yuan Shang admirably and whispered: "It turns out that the lord had made this idea from the beginning. No wonder you were willing to let Zhang Liao leave."

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "It is not easy to make Zhang Liao surrender. It is only possible to force him to the point of no way out!"

************************************

As Yuan Shang expected, Zhang Liao was alone, without a horse, and was injured again at his feet. He was very slow, so the light cavalry of Yuan's army could quickly bypass him and rush forward to block his way back.

Along the way, Zhang Liao met several Yuan troops who lived on land. These Yuan troops had never fought with him. They just told him that the road was blocked and made him change the road. Zhang Liao was extremely angry and wanted to fight with him many times, but he was currently at a disadvantage and was in vain to fight hard. In desperation, he had to change the road.

It was not until his direction pointed to the Dazhai where Xiahou Shangtun lived at the junction of Yan and Xu that Cao's army was not blocked.

At this moment, at Xiahou Shang's military camp, the scouts of the sentry reported the battle situation on the front line to Xiahou Shang in detail.

When Xiahou learned that Xuzhou had been controlled by Yuan's army and Cao's army's power in Xuzhou was completely disintegrated, Xiahou couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

The situation in front of Zhongzhou was not very optimistic, but now half of the battlefield in Xuzhou has been lost. Is this really a devastating Cao family?

As a member of the Cao family, when he saw that his own forces were in danger, Xiahou Shang's heart was like a big rock. The more uncomfortable it was, the more uncomfortable it was, the more he had to bet, the more he was, the more he was.

However, at this moment, another news that made people even more congested reached Xiahou Shang's military camp.

"What did you say? Zhang Liao agreed to me?" Xiahou Shang couldn't help frowning as he listened to the scout's report below.

"Yes!" the scout replied respectfully.

Xiahou Shang sneered and said, "Xuzhou is lost, Guo Jia is killed in battle. As the chief general, he still has the face to come back? How many remaining troops have he taken?"

"There are no soldiers and horses, he is the only one, and he will walk on foot."

Xiahou Shang was shocked when he heard this, blinked and said, "No soldier? He is the only one, or hike?"

"Yes, not only that, but General Zhang Liao's leg was injured, which made it very difficult to move. General Xiahou, should we send someone to pick him up?"

"No!" Xiahou Shang raised his hand and said hesitantly: "No soldier, and he was injured in his leg and walked on foot. How did Zhang Liao break through the Yuan army's camp? Yuan army didn't even let a soldier of our army go. As the chief general, why should he keep him alone? Even if he was lucky enough to break out of the siege, could he still be able to escape the pursuit of Yuan army's cavalry in this situation? This matter... is strange!"
