In the battle of Hebei, not only was he Cao Cao not able to defeat Yuan Shao in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but because of the destruction of Shanyang County and Juye County on the Yanzhou battlefield, coupled with General Huang Yi and Huang Da who stirred up the situation, the morale of his entire army fell to the bottom.

Not only was he unable to defeat Yuan Shao, but he also had to retreat towards Yanzhou in a gloomy manner.

The main army of 40,000 set out, and when it returned, there were less than 20,000 horses.

The 5,000 army died on the battlefield of the head-to-head duel, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses who taught Zhang Yandian were not left, and more than 4,000 wounded were also killed in Hebei.

The remaining 8,000 or so soldiers and horses either fell into the Yellow River and drowned while crossing the river, or they were separated.

The generals under his hands, there are basically no ones who don't hang the lottery.

The worst thing is Li Dian's classmate, his personal guard battalion is all in Huainan, so when the army retreats, other generals are protected by personal guards, but our Li Dian classmate can only be single-handed, and the newly recruited personal guards have no tacit understanding at all.

So he was soon seized by Zhang Nan's soldiers and horses, and almost killed him with a knife, even if he got his life back, one arm was gone.

Dian Wei had two more scars on his face, which made him even more hideous.

Xu Chu and Xu Fatzi were also stabbed twice in the back, but fortunately, the fat was thick and not cut to the point.

Lao Cao himself was injured and was rained through his arm by an arrow rain.

It can be said that Lao Cao's first battle in Hebei is really stealing chickens and rice, and the current Cao Cao army can only think about self-preservation, and he is simply unable to forge ahead, and Cao Cao will not be able to recover his vitality without three years or two years.

Cao Cao was also resolute, knowing that even if he defended on the other side of the Yellow River, he couldn't stop Yuan Shao, so he directly didn't want the Cangting Ferry, and even the Cao army inside didn't remind him to retreat towards Yanzhou Dongjun with the remnants of the defeated army.

As Cao Cao's sworn enemy, how could Yuan Shao be willing to let Cao Cao retreat to Xu Du like this.

Immediately, he wanted the whole army to go south to attack Yanzhou, but he could only think about it.

After all, he was in front of him Yuan Shao is a Yellow River, if you want to cross the Yellow River, you must have ships and bridges, Cao Cao retreated and built two bridges, but when he walked, Lao Cao could kill and wound thousands of people, and he also had to destroy these two pontoon bridges, in addition, Lao Cao concentrated the surrounding ships when he fought against the water, and when he walked, he naturally burned a fire, and Yuan Shao had to build a new ship or transfer ships from other places if he wanted to cross the river.

Where can Yuan Shao wait, the first is to solve Cao Cao, and the second is to test whether his nephew Yuan Yao in Shanyang County really obeys his orders Yuan Shao, so even if Yuan Tan and Yuan don't urge, Yuan Shao is ready to contact Yuan Yao and let Yuan Yao attack immediately.

This time, Yuan Shao not only gave an order to Huang Yi, but also sent an order to Yuan Yao, who was also far away in Shanyang County, and asked his envoys to quickly go towards Shanyang County with the situation of letters, so that Yuan Yao would immediately send troops to block Cao Cao's passage back to Xudu.

Among Shanyang County and Juye County, Yuan Yao stagnated after taking these two places, Yuan Yao's greed for cheap mentality began again, if he went further, he would have to fight until Dongjun was close to Xu Du, and then Lao Cao would not jump out and fight with him, it was better to let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao tear them apart in Hebei.

Therefore, Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses turned back three times in one step, which was in stark contrast to General Huang Yi and Huang who fled for his life.

There are also several cities on the way to Dongjun, but these cities watched Yuan Yao's army attack, and the lord Cao Cao did not come to the rescue for a long time, so he left without thinking about it, opened the city and surrendered.

Yuan Yao was not stingy with rewards, as long as the lord surrendered to him, Yuan Yao was not only reinstated, but Yuan Yao also rewarded dozens of gold silk and silk by himself.

While Yuan Yao was swaying his march step by step, Yuan Yao did not forget to pay attention to the situation in Hebei, but after all, it was a battlefield over there, and Yuan Yao's news was relatively slow, if Cao Cao won again on the battlefield in Hebei, then Yuan Yao would not hesitate to block Cao Cao's passage to the south, completely block Cao Cao in Hebei, and then eat Yanzhou, waiting for Cao Cao to force Yuan Shao to be anxious, and take Qingzhou in exchange, and then he took the opportunity to send troops to Hebei to eliminate the two, or Yuan Shao grinded Cao Cao to death like Gongsun Zhan, Even if Yuan Shao wins, there will be nothing left in Hebei.

At that time, he Yuan Yao still has to go north to Hebei.

Just when Yuan Yao was about to enter the Yanzhou Mansion, our General Huang Yi and Huang suddenly returned.

As soon as our General Huang Yi and General Huang came back, Lang Lang Lang everywhere said, "Lord, lord, Brother Yao, Brother Yao!" Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao! Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! ”

The one who can be so rude in the camp is Huang Yi alone.

Huang Yi ran around, and finally stumbled into Yuan Yao's camp under the guidance of others.

"Brother Yao, Brother Yao! Good news, good news! When Huang Yi saw Yuan Yao, he immediately rushed forward.

As soon as Yuan Yao saw Huang Yi, who was covered in dust, he was about to hug him, and immediately kicked up, "Ada!" ”。

"Poof!" I saw a figure fly out with endless screams.

"Brother Yao, you don't love me anymore!" Huang Yi got up and looked at Yuan Yao over there with a pitiful expression.

"Mad's retardation! How did you get back? Yuan Yao didn't feel the slightest sense of guilt about Huang Yi, but asked Huang Yi over there very casually.

As soon as Yuan Yao reminded him like this, Huang Yi also forgot about being kicked out by Yuan Yao just now, but excitedly came to Yuan Yao. "Brother Yao, Brother Yao, good news, good news, Cao Cao's old thief, Cao Cao's old thief has been defeated in Hebei again!"

"What!" No matter how calm Yuan Yao was, he couldn't help but jump up, "What did you say?" ”

Yuan Yao directly grabbed Huang Yi.

"I said, Hebei, Cao Cao's old thief was defeated by Yuan Shao in Hebei!" Huang Yi repeated again.

"Hurry up, tell me all the details!" Yuan Yao realized that he was excited, put down Huang Yi's eyes and looked at Huang Yi with a sparkling eye, hoping that Huang Yi would tell him about the battle of Hebei he saw, Yuan Yao.

"Oh oh oh!" Huang Yi looked at Yuan Yao's excited appearance, and he also forgot to mention the conditions with Yuan Yao, and told Yuan Yao everything he saw on the other side of the Yellow River.

"You mean you ran to the edge of the Yellow River with your soldiers and horses by mistake? Just broke Cao Cao's game? Yuan Yao looked at Huang Yi suspiciously.

"Where was the mistake, I ran to the edge of the Yellow River only because of an idea!"

"You ran to the edge of the Yellow River with an army of 15,000 in a flash of inspiration?" The black line of Yuan Yao's steamed bun looked at Huang Yi, even if there were five thousand stone miscellaneous fish in it, there were still ten thousand elites.

"Exactly!"

Suddenly, Yuan Yao had a bad premonition: "What about my fifteen-thousand-strong army?" ”

"Still in place!"

"You just threw 15,000 troops on the edge of the Yellow River for me, and you ran back alone?"

"Isn't this my lieutenant general!"

"And who's next to you!?" The more he asked, the darker Yuan Yao's face became.

"Didn't I keep you in the army? Why did you come back with me? Huang Yi found out that he still had his lieutenant generals on the way.

"General, when did you let me stay in the army!" The adjutant general said very aggrieved.

"Get out, get out, get out of here! Get back to the camp overnight! If my army of 15,000 is missing, I'll ask you! "Yuan Yao is kick at Huang Yi, Made, although Cao Cao's information on the Great War in Hebei is very important, but can you send a scout to deliver the letter, does it have to be the winner to run over? The lord will forget about it, and the lieutenant will come with him, and leave the army in place.

Such a military general is really rare in the world.

After sending Huang Yi away, Yuan Yao immediately asked the guards to beat the drum and raise the account.

"I don't know why the lord asked me to wait?" It was not early, and at this time, Yuan Yao must have something important to call everyone over.

"Generals, let me tell you the good news, in the battle of Hebei, Cao Cao's traitors were defeated!" Yuan Yao couldn't hold back his excitement and told everyone the news.

After listening to Yuan Yaojun's doglegs, they were also happy, how could they not be happy? Cao Heizi's bad luck is their greatest happiness.

Yuan Yao also told Cao Cao's army about retreating to Yanzhou and bringing back nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.

After waiting for everyone to rejoice, Yuan Yao immediately spoke, "My cheap uncle can beat Cao Cao, what are our troops waiting for?" Take Dongjun, I'm going to take Dongjun and my cheap uncle and have a smooth meeting! ”

"My lord, are you sure you are attacking Dongjun now?" Yuan Yao's dog legs don't understand, this Cao Cao has just retreated to Yanzhou, and it is also near Dongjun, if you attack Dongjun now, won't you have to fight to the death with the 20,000 troops that Cao Cao has returned? That's a thankless task.

"Haha! How can I do anything that is not cheap, no, no, no, how can I do it without the certainty of victory! "Yuan Yao is very proud" Cao Cao is not very human, he will not care about the loss of a city and a pond at all, although Dongjun is the hub of the east of Yanzhou, but Cao Cao also knows that if he sticks to Dongjun, there is only a dead end! ”

Dongjun is now facing a two-sided attack by Yuan Yao's army and Yuan Shao's army, and the monkey family still wishes that this Cao Heizi would stick to Dongjun, so that Cao Cao can be solved in Dongjun, and there is no need to go so far.

What's more, how can Dongjun's defense compare to Xu Du.

According to his Yuan Yao's own logic, even if you are looking for a turtle shell, you have to find the hardest one!

"But my lord, even if there is no reinforcement from Cao Cao in this East County, our army will not be able to take the East County without thousands of casualties just by relying on the defenders!" Although Yuan Yao is a big family now, he can't waste it like this, it's not worth it at all to consume thousands of soldiers and horses on top of a city in Dongjun.

"Don't worry, I didn't make it clear to you, we are not trying to attack Dongjun, but we want you to lack one of the three outside the Dongjun City, and smooth out all the defensive positions around Dongjun, so that the soldiers and horses of the entire Dongjun are isolated, and let them know that they are the turtles in the urn, so that the soldiers and horses of the Dongjun will inevitably abandon the city and flee, and then it will be time for us to take the Dongjun!"

Listening to Yuan Yao's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Yao's order was issued, and soon the Huainan army took action, taking down all the cities around Dongjun step by step.

Advance all the way to the outside of East County

Yuan Yao asked his scouts to go to investigate and observe from a high place, but this look was also a headache, they really miscalculated, Yuan Yao didn't expect that the moat of Dongjun was so vast, Dongjun is close to the Yellow River, and the Anhui city of Lujiang is compared, Shouchun can dig a moat with a width of 30 meters on the edge of Yingshui, which is not bad with the power of the Yellow River.

The first wave of Yuan Yao's men rushed up and just threw the stones and soil into the moat, but many of the same individuals came back with injuries, and they were unlucky and lay directly on the edge of the moat.

"Lord, if this continues, even if the moat is filled, our army will suffer heavy losses!"

Countless arrows rained down above the city, and Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses had to eat bows and arrows first if they wanted to fill the moat.

"What if the soldiers were allowed to go with heavy armor?"

"If you put on heavy armor, then the soldiers won't be able to carry many stones!" Filling in the moat was originally to carry rocks and soil and the like, and if you added a piece of heavy armor to your body, it would be really uncomfortable.

"My lord, why don't you stop and build a fence and a stone thrower, and wait for the bow and arrows on the city to be suppressed before filling the moat?" Zhang Xun on the side suggested.

"No way!" There is no problem in building siege weapons, but these things take time, what he Yuan Yao wants is to take Dongjun quickly, but he doesn't want to wait for Yuan Shao's army to arrive, this Dongjun has not yet been taken. It's going to be a joke.

"Do you have a clever plan for two gentlemen?" Yuan Yao looked at Tian Feng and Fu Zhu on the side.

The two of them looked at the city and shook their heads helplessly, this has nothing to do with strategy.

Yuan Yaosi thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Where is Chen Sheng!" ”

"The last general!" An unfamiliar military general walked out.

Yuan Yao's subordinates not only have to have some famous generals to command the army, but also have some middle-level martial artists to let the tactics of these high-level generals be implemented.

This Chen Sheng is a middle-level general, and the reason why Yuan Yao has an image of this person is that this person is from the Yanzhou Army, and similarly, this person can be regarded as a person who loves the people.

Yuan Yao's army arrived, this person was afraid that the people who were sticking to the city would be implicated, so he went down to the city to surrender, and after sacrificing the city, he was ready to kill himself to be martyred.

was blackmailed by Yuan Yao with the people of a city, so he gritted his teeth and joined Yuan Yao's army.

"Chen Sheng, I heard you say that after all these years of continuous battles, the people in the city have long been unable to eat and wear?" Yuan Yao looked at Chen Sheng and asked.

"Exactly!" Chen Sheng nodded, Lao Cao has been in the midst of reckless warfare all these years, although the common people do not starve to death, but there is almost no food, and the entire Yanzhou is kept on a food and clothing line.

All the extra food was taken out by Cao Heizi to fight.

"Do the people near this eastern county have enough food to survive the winter?" Yuan Yao continued to ask.

Listening to Yuan Yao's words, Chen Sheng's eyes couldn't help but dim, "If it's a warm winter, it's a blessing for the people, if it's a cold winter, Dongjun, Dongjun, Dongjun, dang, dang" Chen Sheng didn't say anything for a while, because if it was a cold winter, the people would probably freeze to death countless times.

"Chen Sheng, you go and tell those people, I need them to do things for me now, as long as they are willing to come, I will send a bucket of rice every day, if they make contributions, there will be another settlement!" Yuan Yao said to Chen Sheng over there.

"General Yuan Yao, you, you, you?" Chen Sheng is not a fool, how can he not know what Yuan Yao is going to do: "General Yuan Yao, they are all innocent people!" ”

"In troubled times, who can be innocent?" Yuan Yao asked sarcastically, it was not that Yuan Yao's heart was cold, but the whole general trend, seeing too many wild dogs gnawing on corpses, and seeing too many hungry corpses everywhere, even the hearts of good people will slowly cool down.

"If they come, maybe there is still a way to live, if they don't want to come, they won't be able to survive this winter!" Whether it is a warm winter or a cold winter, basically Yanzhou will be war-torn this winter, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, his Yuan Yao's Huainan army, and Hebei's Yuan Shaojun, the three forces will fight in Yanzhou as the main battlefield, no one will take care of the people, and naturally they will not go to disaster relief, they will definitely die.

And if there is food, it can go south or east, go to Xuzhou, and go to Huainan to escape the war.

"Okay, I'll go!" Chen Sheng gritted his teeth and left, he knew that what Yuan Yao said was true.

"This Chen Sheng really didn't disappoint me!" Yuan Yao also had to admire this Chen Sheng, or that this person was still very popular with the people in the local area, which made Yuan Yao sigh with emotion, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, heroes arose, and many capable people were covered.

Within half a day's effort, groups of people and horses rushed over from the direction from which Yuan Yao and the others came.

A bucket of rice, if you work hard and can produce more food, these people are really hungry and crazy.

Chen Sheng didn't come, it was Chen Sheng's personal guards who came, telling Yuan Yao that there were no less than 5,000 people who had come, and there were more after that, and Chen Sheng lobbied the people in other places to come.

Under Yuan Yao's nod, these people naturally went to tell them what they should do, and Yuan Yao did not break his promise, as long as they came, they all received a bucket of food, and if they made a meritorious contribution to reward the food, countless people carried stones and soil bags and went towards the moat step by step.

The defenders above the head of the city of Dongjun couldn't help but curse one by one when they looked at the people who were driven by the Huainan army.

It's no wonder that most of the soldiers and soldiers in Dongjun are locals, and those who are driven to fill in the moat are also locals, and the people are all social animals, so I can't tell which of the soldiers' families and relatives are below.

"The lord is really planning this plan, it is really true" Tian Feng and Fu Zhu looked at Yuan Yao's method and didn't know what to say.

"It's despicable, isn't it?" Yuan Yao helped them to say Tian Feng and the words of Fu Zhu.

"The two gentlemen don't need to cover it up for me, I, Yuan Yao, am such a person!" Yuan Yao did not advise others to say that he was a despicable and shameless villain.

"With these people, I will be able to avoid the casualties of my soldiers, my soldiers exist in my Yuan Yao, so that they can rely on them step by step to eradicate princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the Han lost its deer, the world chased it, I Yuan Yao is not much noble, I just want to end this troubled world as soon as possible, the emperor takes turns, his Liu family overthrew the Ying family, and it is time to change the master! Only by unifying the world as soon as possible can more people avoid casualties! Unconsciously, Yuan Yao's words increased.

This is really a kind of venting for Yuan Yao.

He Yuan Yao is not a person in this world, but he has entered this damned era for some damned reasons.

Three Kingdoms and Three Kingdoms, there are many heroes and stars, but how much blood is mixed in?

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, Cao Cao is right, Yuan Shao is right, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are not wrong, they all want to dominate the world, Yuan Yao believes that no matter who unifies the world, it will not be worse than the Han Dynasty, or even surpass.

Liu Bei has the ability to forbear that his ancestor Liu Bang did not have, whether it is hypocritical or that he is really compassionate, at least this smiling tiger also knows that the country is strong when the people are more.

Cao Cao has a black face and a black heart, but even if he does not dominate the world, he is only able to resume production in the great north that he has beaten the foreigners to cry his father and call his mother.

Yuan Shao and Sun Quan looked at being stuck to one side, but they were also benefiting the people.

Whether it is in Hebei or Jiangdong, for these two people, the people of the two places are also grateful.

It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era, and the result of everyone's equal strength is internal friction and internal friction.

"If it's two gentlemen, no, if anyone here thinks that I, Yuan, is not your appetite, when I can leave, I, Yuan, will definitely not be forced to stay, but once I leave you, I must not be an enemy, otherwise I will not be merciful!" Yuan Yao seemed to hold back for a long time and said to the group of strategists and generals under his hands.

He Yuan Yao looked at everyone who was doing it with glittering eyes, especially Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi.

At that time, Yuan Yao would rather put himself to death than give up the people of Chenjia Village, but now Yuan Yao can sacrifice tens of thousands of people rather than let his subordinates consume them in vain.

It's not that he Yuan Yao has become cold-blooded, but the world of this world is forcing him to be cold-blooded, and the kindness of a woman will only bring death and failure, and he Yuan Yao can't afford to lose, not only for himself but also for the people of Huainan, for them to live and work in peace and contentment.

"The last general will not leave the lord!" Zhang Xun, as a veteran of Yuan Yaojun, immediately knelt down and knelt in front of Yuan Yao, he was a minister of the Yuan family for two generations.

"I will not leave the lord until I die!" Xu Shu and other old men of Yuan Yaojun also knelt down towards Yuan Yao.

"What about the two gentlemen of Tian Feng?" Yuan Yao looked at Tian Feng Fuzhu, his Yuan Yao's palms were also sweating, if Tian Feng Fuzhu was dissatisfied with him Yuan Yao, then Yuan Yao would never fulfill his promise to let the two of them go, and he would kill him.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and the two shook their heads with a wry smile, they are the great Confucians of the world, although they are dissatisfied in their hearts, Yuan Yao is not unreasonable, Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

If you can't even eat enough, what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality can you talk about? Those are all farts.

"We will swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"

"Good, good, good!" Yuan Yao was very satisfied, and he immediately helped Tian Feng and Zhang Xun up with several old ministers and veterans.

"Uncle Zilong, to you?" Yuan Yao looked at these two people, these two people have very similar personalities, if it weren't for Chen Zhi's younger age, I'm afraid Yuan Yao would have thought that the two were brothers born to the same mother.

It's no wonder that in later generations, Chen Zhi Zhao Yun couldn't tell what he was doing, and many of the things Chen Zhi did became Zhao Yun.

"Lord, the fate of the arrival is the lord's!" Chen Zhi is very crisp.

Zhao Yun was left, Zhao Yun wanted to leave directly several times, and was stopped by the obsession in his heart several times.

Using the lives of the people to fill the moat, this is not shameful for Zhao Yun at all, what is the difference between this and the yellow turban thieves in the cholera world back then?

Zhao Yun really wanted to throw his hands and leave, but his footsteps couldn't move, Yuan Yao was right, he may be very cruel to the people of Yanzhou, but he is very conniving to the people of Huainan, if these people don't fill the moat, then it will be the lives of the soldiers of the Huainan Army.

These Huainan soldiers did not fall from the sky, but they were all raised by their parents.

If one dies, there may be an old mother without a son in Huainan, or a child without a father, and a wife waiting for her husband's return without a husband.

War is unjust, Zhao Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a long time, he said to Yuan Yao, "I hope you don't forget what you said!" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, but still didn't understand what Zhao Yun meant.

"The last general swears allegiance to the lord to the death!" Zhao Yun knelt down heavily.
