Yuan Shao felt a headache, didn't he say that after a few rounds of princes beating Liu Yu, Liu Yu would be in a hurry. Why is it different from what I expected?

Cao Cao nested motionless outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and Yuan Shao didn't know what he was doing. Liu Biao's side is very hard-working, but this has no effect, and it is difficult to attack further if he is blocked from Wancheng and Shangyong.

Although Yuan Shao's side occupied a lot of advantages in the early stage, it was counterattacked by Huang Zhong and Lu Bu and others.

In the end, Yuan Shao found that he was the most at a loss. At the same time, Yuan Shao is now also in a difficult choice. If he retreated, Yuan Shao might be pursued by Huang Zhong, resulting in serious losses. If you don't retreat, it is very easy to be attacked from both sides, and there is intelligence that the thief army led by Zhang Yan has moved north, if so, it is very likely that Yuan Shao will be attacked from three sides.

Yuan Shao was not a dry eater, he detached a part of his troops from the army to stop Lu Bu, and at the same time transferred Xu You to Youzhou to assist Yuan Xi in dealing with military aircraft. As for the problem of Jizhou, Yuan Shao ordered all the families in Jizhou to contribute to minimize Zhang Yan's threat to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao sent an envoy to tell Yan Liang to guard and not let Dian Wei of Huguan have a chance to enter Jizhou. Yan Liang looked at the order Yuan Shao gave him with a confused expression, didn't he come to attack and merge the state, why did he become defensive now. However, Yan Liang asked for tactical guidance by himself, and since Yuan Shao had a proper arrangement, he would follow Yuan Shao's orders.

Yuan Shao's crisis was temporarily stabilized in a short period of time.

Yuan Shao wrote a letter to Cao Cao, asking what was going on and how the joint attack on Liu had become a loss for him alone. Yuan Shao also asked Cao Cao what he wanted to do in the Tiger Prison.

After Cao Cao received the letter, he threw it away. Cao Cao wanted Yuan Shao and Liu Yu to fight to the death, so that he could fish in troubled waters. However, Cao Cao still sent a consoling letter to Yuan Shao, the content of which was that the Tiger Prison Pass was dangerous, and he had failed to attack several times, and now he was still repairing or contemplating another strategy.

After Yuan Shao received this so-called reply, he finally knew that he had fallen for Cao Cao's scheme. Cao Cao just used his revenge against Liu Yu to confront Liu Yu, but he meant that staying in the Tiger Prison Pass would not attack.

Yuan Shao scolded Cao Cao for being even blacker, and he actually calculated himself so much. Now it's okay, he was originally able to stabilize his territory and prevent Liu Yu from attacking rashly, but now he was raided by Lu Bu to Youzhou and wreaked havoc.

Yuan Shao finally decided to give up Youzhou and return to the army to defend the core of Jizhou. Youzhou has not returned to the state before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after years of melee between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the population loss is serious, the fields are barren, and Huang Zhong also often invades Youzhou, and the population of Youzhou has moved a lot to the state, which has exacerbated the population loss of Youzhou, and its importance is not as good as other states and counties in Yuan Shao's territory. Since Yuan Shao got Jizhou, Jizhou is Yuan Shao's most important core base, and more importantly, Jizhou is full of families, which can provide Yuan Shao with a large number of talents.

At the same time, Yuan Shao felt that since he had decided to give up Youzhou, he would do it thoroughly, empty the entire Youzhou, and leave an empty Youzhou, and see what Liu Yu would do when the time came. Yuan Shao hurriedly sent this decision to the decision-making level of the entire Youzhou, ordering them to secretly transfer all kinds of wealth and materials in Youzhou, so that Liu Yu's army must not be aware of it.

Yuan Shao even felt that this was not ruthless enough, and he sent envoys to lure foreigners into Youzhou, wanting to use these ambitious foreigners to add trouble to Liu Yu.

The local officials of the entire Youzhou took action and secretly transferred the money and grain from the government treasury of Youzhou to Jizhou.

In order to dispel the suspicions of others, Yuan Shao even sent heavy troops to attack Huang Zhong. At the same time, he ordered Jizhou to send soldiers and horses to respond, and he wanted to return to Jizhou to beat Zhang Yan well.

Huang Zhong never thought that Yuan Shao would have such a big plan, constantly dealing with Yuan Shao's attack.

Lu Bu also learned the news that Yuan Shao was constantly attacking Huang Zhong, and desperately accelerated his speed, preparing to attack Yuan Shao on both sides.

Yuan Shao kept transferring troops and horses, and little by little transferred all the troops to Jizhou. Until late one night, Yuan Shao left the camp with the last part of his troops.

Huang Zhong also felt that something was wrong, Yuan Shao's attack strength was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he hadn't found anything in the early stage, and it was not an attack at all later.

Huang Zhong hurriedly sent troops to explore Yuan Shao's camp and found that Yuan Shao's camp was empty.

Huang Zhong, who was shocked, first reacted that Yuan Shao used a conspiracy, and Huang Zhong, who was afraid of being calculated by Yuan Shao, reflected the situation to Tian Feng. Tian Feng couldn't think of why Yuan Shao would withdraw from the army, because Lu Bu had not received any news of the war with Yuan Shao.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan's side was beaten and caught off guard by Yuan Shao's army that Tian Feng understood that Yuan Shao had returned to Jizhou.

Tian Feng's heart jumped, Yuan Shao would not give up Youzhou. In order to confirm this speculation, Tian Feng ordered Huang Zhong to send cavalry to Youzhou to investigate the truth and join Lu Bu by the way.

Huang Zhong didn't believe Tian Feng's guess a little, but he still sent a cavalry unit to investigate.

It didn't take long for the cavalry troops sent out to return, along with Lü Bu's troops. After their investigation, Youzhou became very empty, and some cities actually had no defenders, and Lu Bu also confirmed the reliability of the news.

Huang Zhong was shocked, if the situation is true, then troops must be sent now.

Huang Zhong hurriedly told Tian Feng's speculation to Lu Bu and all the generals.

Everyone's first reaction was not to believe it.

Ignoring their suspicions, Huang Zhong ordered them to split into several routes and go to the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou respectively.

Lu Bu did not question, and was the first to respond to Huang Zhong's order and lead the army to the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou. Lu Bu advanced at full speed and found that there were many heavy vehicles heading from Youzhou to Jizhou. Without saying a word, Lu Bu surrounded all the people who were transported. Except for a few of these people who were Yuan Shao's diehards, the others were Ding Zhuang who transported Zizhong. After Lu Bu killed those who dared to resist, the others chose to surrender very happily.

Lu Bu learned through their mouths that it was the local officials who asked them to transport these Zizhong to Jizhou, but the others did not know.

Lu Bu hurriedly transmitted the news to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong was in a hurry, he really guessed that Yuan Shao was going to give up Youzhou, but fortunately, he found it early now, and it was impossible for Yuan Shao to empty all Youzhou in such a short period of time.

So Huang Zhong ordered the whole army to march towards Youzhou, and all the cavalry increased their speed, so that Yuan Shao could not succeed.
