After discovering that the enemy was coming, the high-ranking cavalry hurriedly led the army to retreat. The soldiers rushed to escape, trampling on each other and hundreds of dead. Fortunately, Xun You did not order to continue chasing, which gave him a chance to breathe.

"Sir, why don't we pursue the victory? I believe that if we take advantage of the situation, it would not be a problem for us to capture Huai County, the old nest of the high-ranking officials. Why did we order the slogan to withdraw our troops?"

After the war ended, Chang Chun, Pan Feng, Mu Shun and others asked Xun You with confusion.

Although Xun You is now the chief general in the army, they are all accustomed to calling Xun You Mr. according to the old name.

Xun You didn't care about the difference in the name. He smiled and explained: "If we wanted to capture Huai County, we would have been able to capture it long ago. However, it would not make much sense to capture Huai County. Now, due to the problems of military strength and material, we are not suitable to occupy the entire Hanoi, because this will cause our supply line to be too long and at the same time weaken our defense against the Yewang City. After all, there is a gentleman who is eyeing us on the side of our bed. Once our main force leaves the Yewang City, someone will encircle our retreat and plan for the Yewang City. That is the beginning of our disaster, so we just stick to the Yewang City. At the same time, it also makes Yuan Shao's army think that we are just like this. It's just that their luck is not good or the people they sent are incompetent, so they will continue to send troops to us here to conquer us, and we also use this to continuously weaken his power. Yuan Shao is a slow-responsive person. By the time he reacts, everything is too late."

After hearing this, Pan Feng and Mu Shun were suddenly overwhelmed and said with admiration: "It turns out that there are so many ways here. You scholars have too many ideas. Forget it, I don't need to think about fighting in the future. The sir asked us to fight, we can just fight. It's okay to let us dance swords and guns, but let us use our brains? I can't think of so many things even if I kill me."

But Chang Chun was thinking. After all, he was no longer the reckless mind he had before. His intelligence now reached 83 points. Such a high intelligence would naturally be touched and triggered thinking after hearing Xun You's words.

"There is another thing that the general doesn't understand. The Yewang City is crucial to us. But this time, Mr. actually dispatched more than 80% of the troops to deal with Zhang He and Gao Lan, leaving less than 20% of the troops to guard the Yewang City. Moreover, most of these defenders are old, weak, sick and disabled. Why is Mr. He so confident that he can defend the Yewang City? Could it be that Mr. Trust the young man who went to the crowd of Hao?" Chang Chun didn't understand Xun You's approach from the beginning, but now he can't hold it in, so he asked.

But when Xun You suddenly changed his face and said respectfully: "Actually, I don't know that Hao Bodao has such ability. It's just that this is a talent recommended by the lord. The lord personally transferred him to Hanoi and specifically told Xun to give Hao Zhao the responsibility of defending the city. In fact, when he received the order, Xun was slightly resistant in his heart when he received the order. But until today I finally realized that the lord was so foresight. He said that Hao Zhao had a strong defense talent, so he really had it. With a mere 1,000 weak brigades against more than 10,000 high-ranking officials, such a huge difference in ratio, he not only did not lose, but instead achieved a big victory. I feel ashamed of such a powerful defense ability."

"Haha, the lord is a great blessing for us to be aware of people. Because in this way, as long as we have the ability, we will definitely have room to display in the future and will definitely be favored by the lord one day."

After Xun You's words, Chang Chun and the others were all extremely proud. Combined with their life experience, they were even more grateful that they had met such a wise master. Under the training of this wise master, their abilities were improved like a complete transformation, and then they made great contributions respectively.

Just when they were happy, there was indeed chaos in the Gaoguan. First, the two brothers of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were killed, and then Zhang He and Gao Lan were captured. The fact that they attacked the city with nearly ten times the strength but finally returned home in a disastrous defeat further hit the confidence and morale of the entire army. The morale in the army is extremely low now, and the soldiers are miserable. Because of the blood of their robes and fathers and sons and brothers in the previous war, they are extremely sad in the hearts of those soldiers who have lost their relatives and robes.

However, Gao Lan also hurriedly wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, falsely accusing Zhang He. Gao Lan and the other two turned against each other, resulting in their own defeat, and asked Yuan Shao to retaliate against Zhang He and Gao Lan's family.'

This was actually a very ridiculous idea. However, I didn't expect that Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, actually followed the advice of the high-ranking officials. Yuan Shao was furious and immediately ordered to capture Zhang He and Gao Lan's family, kill all the men and serve as official slaves.

"I really didn't expect that Zhang He and Gao Lan would do such a thing. They were really despicable and shameless villain behavior! It's a pity that these two thieves are not here now, otherwise I would have to tell them to capture them and let them suffer to death!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and cursed.

At this time, he saw the adviser Guo Tu say, "Just Tu reminded Mr. Zhu not to use surrendered generals like Zhang He and Gao Lan. Since they were able to give up Han Fu and return to their lords, they dared to give up their lords for their own selfish interests. Therefore, the officials suggested that those who recommended Zhang He and Gao Lan should not just forget about the recognition of people. They made mistakes in recommending talents and should be punished accordingly to serve as a warning to others."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought it was very true, so he ordered the adviser Feng Ji, who had recommended Zhang He and Gao Lan, to be fined three months' salary. The adviser Ju Zuo was fined six months' salary to serve as a warning. At the same time, he decided to appoint the general Yan Liang as a general and lead 10,000 people to Hanoi as the prefect of Hanoi. As for his nephew Gao Gan, although he had lost two battles, the crime was not on him. So he ordered the forty soldiers to be punished. According to relevant regulations, the senior officials could be allowed to produce grain and cloth to punish him.

However, no matter what, the senior officials are no longer suitable to stay in Hanoi, so Yuan Shao appointed the senior officials as the prefect of Hejian, asking him to reflect on his mistakes in Hejian first, and then transfer him to another place to become a senior official when the opportunity is right.
