"Haha, Yuan Benchu has withdrawn. Yanzhou fell into the hands of this king. Liu Yu looked at the information from the "dark department" and smiled.

This information was sent by Guo Tu, and he explained all the circumstances of Yuan Shao, and said that he had made a lot of efforts in it.

Of course, Liu Yu knew Guo Tu's careful thinking, wasn't it just so that Liu Yu could remember him well and leave him a way to live in the future. Liu Yu felt that since Guo Tu worked so hard for himself, there would be no problem in leaving him alive in the future.

At the same time, Jia Xu also reported his decision to make his own decisions to Liu Yu, and asked Liu Yu to forgive his sins. Liu Yu was a little disgusted with Jia Xu's actions, as a monarch, he was most afraid that his subordinates would overstep their authority, so as not to be uncontrollable in the future. However, considering the special situation, Liu Yu also forgave Jia Xu for exceeding his authority and ordered Jia Xu not to have a next time, otherwise he would be severely punished. And this time, the credit for dragging Cao Cao will be stopped.

Jia Xu received Liu Yu's order and smiled slightly, he actually had his own purpose in doing this. As a strategist, Jia Xu naturally knows the danger of being a master of high merit, and now he has the ability to make some mistakes to make Liu Yu blame himself, so as not to make too much credit in the future, Liu Yu's reward is non-negotiable, and he is forced to give himself a cup of poisonous wine. Weighing the pros and cons, Jia Xu, the old fox, still understands.

Yuan Shao retreated, and Zhang Liao on the Guandu side could free his hands. Liu Yu ordered Zhang Liao to set out from Guandu and attack Dongjun along the Yellow River.

In addition, Zhang Xiu, who stayed behind in Chen, fought with Zhang Liao.

Liu Yu reorganized his troops and horses in Xiangyi City, and incorporated the Cao army who was willing to join him into his own troops, and if he was unwilling, he arranged for people to be brought to Chen Liu and handed over to Chen Gong to deal with. After completing these tasks, Liu Yuxiong slaughtered Puyang City, the seat of Yanzhou Administration.

Xiahoudun, who was brought to Puyang by Xiahou Yuan, had already sobered up on the road. At first, when Xiahoudun was in Xiangyi, he wanted to commit suicide to atone for his sins, but after being knocked unconscious by Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun didn't have this idea when he woke up again.

Xiahoudun is a character who can afford to let go, and he will not be so easily defeated.

After Cao Cao's order arrived, Xiahoudun was even more full of combat effectiveness.

Liu Yu's soldiers pointed directly at Puyang, and Xiahoudun arranged for Xiahouyuan to lead the cavalry to constantly harass him, with obvious intentions, just to buy some time.

Xiahoudun thought very clearly, and now he could not stop Liu Yu's military action against Yanzhou, so he decided to use all means to consume Liu Yu's troops. Xiahoudun ordered all local officials throughout Yanzhou to strengthen the defense, and forced men over the age of thirteen and under the age of fifty to join the army to replenish the troops lost due to the battle of Xiangyi, and the typical quantity was exchanged for quality. If Liu Yu can't be stopped by strict defense, Xiahoudun secretly issued an order to the local garrisons, if Liu Yu captures the city, all the materials in the treasury can be taken away or destroyed in advance, anyway, Liu Yu can't get it.

Xiahoudun considered that Liu Yu had so many soldiers and horses, and his supply of grain and grass must be very tight, as long as Liu Yu was not allowed to be replenished in Yanzhou, then the speed of his march would inevitably be affected.

In fact, Xiahoudun thought too much, Liu Yu's troops consumed a huge amount of food and grass, but Liu Yu had prepared early. First of all, the important reason for Liu Yu to capture Guandu is to ensure that his grain route is not interfered with by Cao Cao, now Yuan Shao has withdrawn from the army, there is no war in Guandu, and the grain and grass in Luoyang can be sent down the Yellow River to Guandu, and then transported to Chen Liucheng by Guandu, and unified dispatch by Chen Palace.

Liu Yucai, who has no worries, will not care if you are angry and destroy the treasury, and his march will not be affected by this.

As for Xiahou Yuan's harassment, Liu Yu was even more disdainful. With the troops in Xiahou Yuan's hands now, how much trouble can he add to Liu Yu?

With so many cities along the way, how many of them can stop Liu Yu? How many local officials will do their duty? Liu Yu wasn't worried at all.

Because of the Battle of Xiangyi, the main army of Yanzhou was almost empty. It was only a matter of time before Liu Yu captured the whole of Yanzhou. And some families and local officials or garrison generals in Yanzhou began to study their own way back. And the Yanzhou Chen family is the most active one, their descendant Chen Gong is the first to take refuge in Liu Yu, and Liu Yu's acquisition of Yanzhou is simply good news for them. Now that Chen Gong has also followed Liu Yu back to Yanzhou, Liu Yu has become a big trend, and the Chen family immediately sent someone to contact Chen Gong.

"Chen Ju, the younger member of the Chen family, Chen Zixin, visited the elder of the family, Uncle Gongtai." Chen Ju, the younger member of the Chen Palace, came as an envoy of the Chen family.

"Zixinxian's nephew is not studying at home, what are you doing here?" Chen Gong didn't have a good face, and this Chen Ju's father Chen was still very incompatible with Chen Gong, if it weren't for the sake of his own people, Chen Gong would have blasted him out a long time ago.

"My father heard that my uncle had come back to Yanzhou, so I specially arranged for my little nephew to come over to condole." Chen Ju said with a smile.

Chen Gong secretly scolded the snobbery in his family, when he left He Jin to join Liu Yude, the head of the Chen family, who is also Chen Ju's father, wrote a letter to scold, saying that he didn't know how to lift. Well, now that the Chen Palace, who doesn't know how to lift, has become the future of the Chen family, isn't this an irony.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Something straight to say. Chen Liu is busy with official business, and I don't have that much time. Chen Gong was a little impatient.

Seeing Chen Gong's displeased expression, Chen Ju secretly scolded his father for being incompetent, if he hadn't written a letter to scold Chen Gong before, Chen Ju would not have suffered Chen Gong's eyes like this.

Chen Ju smiled again: "Uncle and noble people are busy, and the little nephew doesn't dare to delay. When the father of the family learned that the prince had come to Yanzhou, the Chen family hoped to help the prince in some things, and hoped that the uncle could say a few kind words in front of the prince. ”

"I understand the matter of the Chen family." Chen Gong understands the intentions of the Chen family, isn't it just that Liu Yu's power has become great, and now he is ready to take refuge.

"Then the little nephew will go back and wait for the good news from his uncle." Chen Ju is a smart person naturally understood what Chen Gong meant, and immediately chose to disappear, so as not to make Chen Gong embarrassed because of his father's affairs.

Although Chen Gong had opinions about the family, he considered that if there was help from the Chen family, Liu Yu's actions in Yanzhou would be smoother, so he reported the matter of the Chen family's contact with him to Liu Yu.

If someone wants to help him, Liu Yu will not refuse, agrees to Chen Gong's request, and promises certain benefits. Liu Yu knew that these families were all grass on the wall, and if they didn't give some benefits, they wouldn't believe Liu Yu. Chen Gong immediately replied to the Chen family, and the head of the Chen family excitedly ordered the entire family to take action to help King Zhao attack Yanzhou.

Through the efforts of the Chen family, the position of some local officials in the city wavered, and some of them chose to surrender in Kaesong.

Liu Yu's march became even faster. Soon the army came to Puyang.

Looking at Puyang City, Liu Yu felt that as long as he took this city, no one would be able to stop his power in Yanzhou.
