Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this:

"A hundred thousand army?

Where did the 100,000 army come from?”

"If we can create such momentum in the camps of our million-strong army, the enemy may not be less than 100,000."

After hearing Yuan Shao say this, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Yuan Benchu ​​didn't know how many enemy troops there were, but he guessed it all.

"Brother Benchu, the number of enemy troops is not large.

If you look carefully, our soldiers are scattered around you."

Yuan Shao blinked his eyes and observed around, but he didn't see any reason. He had to ask Cao Cao:

“It’s true?

How can I calm the chaos?”

Cao Cao replied:

"It's simple, just let all the soldiers sit in place and not move around.

Those who violate the order will be killed!"

Yuan Shao said in confusion:

"What if all the soldiers were still in place, what should I do if the fire in the camp?

What if the Chu army took the opportunity to kill our army?"

"The number of Chu troops is nothing but the disease of scabies, and the damage of the bombing camp is the biggest problem of our army!"

"This...well, just act according to what Meng De said."

Alliance Leader Yuan quickly issued an order to let all the soldiers in the camp sit cross-legged in the place and not move around. Those who violate the orders shall be dealt with by military law.

As soon as this order was released, the entire camp suddenly became quiet.

Apart from the burning sound of the raging fire, there was no more shouting of killing.

Liu Bei said in surprise:

"President Yuan has some means to deal with the chaos, and he is not a person who is worthy of being a false reputation."

Sima Yi chuckled beside Liu Bei:

"With Yuan Shao's strategy, he could never imagine such an effective strategy.

I think this military order is likely to be written by Cao Cao."

After calming down the chaos in the camp, Yuan Shao realized how outrageous he was wrong.

Where can there be 100,000 Chu troops in the village?

Not only is there no 100,000, but now there is no trace of a Chu army.

The generals of the coalition forces quickly commanded the soldiers under their command to put out the fire, and did not care about finding the culprit.

The fire burned too long, and many of the coalition's tents had been completely burned.

Even if the fire is put out, these camps will not be able to continue to be used.

After dawn, the coalition battalions counted the damage to the war.

The coalition forces lost more than 10,000 soldiers last night.

Among them, less than 300 people were killed by Gan Ning and a group of personal guards, and more than 3,000 people were burned to death by the fire.

All the rest were trampled on each other and killed each other.

Yuan Shao was so angry that his face turned pale and cursed, and he drew out his sword and wanted to fight Yuan Shu to the death.

"Master, please calm down."

The counselor Xu You advised Yuan Shao:

"Our army has been tossing for a night last night, and the soldiers are already exhausted.

At this time, the morale of the army was disintegrated, and the rash battle with the Chu army would probably not have any good results."

Yuan Shao said with a gloomy face:

"In your opinion, what should our army do?"

Xu You responded carefully:

"Our army would better retreat fifty miles and re-establish a camp and set up debts.

Take this opportunity to let the soldiers rest for a few days to stabilize the morale of the army.

It wouldn't be too late to fight the Chu army in a few days."

"Hmph, now you're talking very well again, what have you done long ago?"

Yuan Shao said dissatisfiedly:

"Our army's advisers are like clouds and powerful generals are like rain. No one except Yang Hong has seen the strategy of the Chu army robbing the camp.

By the way, where is Yang Hong?"

Hearing Yuan Shao calling him, Yang Hong quickly emerged from the line of advisers and responded flatteringly:

"I am here, what's the matter with the king looking for me?"

"One of the ministers, only Yang Qing was a little far-reaching and lonely humerus.

Yang Qing thinks what Xu You’s plan is?"

Yang Hong didn't know any strategy. He agreed with any strategy that could avoid fighting against the Chu army.

Xu You was going to retreat and set up a camp fifty miles away, which was just right for him.

"What Ziyuan said is not bad, and the ministers agree."

"That's good.

Someone came, go and inform Cao Aman and Liu Xuande, and retreat and set up camp."

At dawn, Gan Ning led a hundred personal guards back to Runan.

Yuan Shu waited at the city wall very early, looking forward to Gan Ning's return in triumphant.

Yuan Shu knew very well about the combat power of his personal guards. With the blessing of Ganning's skill "Campaign" and each person's combat power is not weaker than that of third-rate warriors.

Such a powerful army should not be defeated by the coalition forces and destroyed.

Jiang Gan also got up early and looked forward to this 100-man team.

He made the plan to attack the enemy camp at night, and this was the first time that Jiang Gan offered advice to the king.

If these people were destroyed, then Jiang Ziyi would be shameless in the circle of counselors in Da Chu in the future and could only be a clerk.

Tong Feng also followed Yuan Shu, and he wanted to see if Gan Ning, who was competing with him for the attack camp mission, could succeed.

Tong Feng had a great eye. When he saw the shadows in the distance, he excitedly said to Yuan Shu:

"Your Majesty, look, is General Gan Ning's team ahead?"

Although he was confident that Gan Ning had escaped unscathed, Yuan Shu still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's Xingba.

Zihu, count it and see how many people Xingba has lost.”

Gan Ning's 100-man team went from far to near, and Tong Feng also counted seriously.

“Ninety-nine, one hundred, one hundred…

One hundred and one, one is not one!"

Tong Feng became more and more frightened as he counted. At the end of the count, he showed an incredible look on his face.

It's too exaggerated to attack the enemy camp at night, and no one died!

He even suspected that Gan Ning did not attack the enemy camp at all, but just took more than a hundred personal guards outside and came back.

Yuan Shu laughed and said:

"I am worthy of being the lonely Gan Xingba!

Keep filial piety?”

"The last one will be here!"

"Open the city gates and welcome General Xingba into the city with the help of the orphan!"

"promise!"

Li Cunxiao, who was guarding Yuan Shu, directed his soldiers to fall off the suspension bridge.

The gate of Runan City was opened, and Yuan Shu led a group of civil and military officials out of the city to welcome Gan Ning.
