Yuan Shao was still ready to retreat after all.

The injuries on Yan Liang's body are almost healed.

Yuan Shao left Yan Liang and Gao Lan.

The three of them are mainly depressed.

Yuan Shao still had doubts about Yan Liang, but he still chose to use him after all.

Without Yan Liang sitting in Changshan, Yuan Shao was not at ease.

Yuan Shao still trusts Fu Zhu and Gao Ran, especially Fu Zhu, Yuan Shao has never doubted his loyalty.

It's just that he is more upright, and many times what he says makes Yuan Shao not very fond of listening.

Stay here, and let Gao Ran assist from the side.

Even if Yan Liang had a different heart, Yuan Shao believed that Yan Liang would not be able to turn over the palm of his frustrated palm.

Before leaving, Yuan Shao had a secret conversation with Fu Zhu.

gave Fu Zhi enough power, and after he left, all the military forces in Changshan County were given to Fu Zhi Commander.

Anyone who violates the military order can be directly beheaded. There is no need to report to Yuan Shao first.

Yuan Shao even emphasized the name of Yan Liang Wang Xin to Fu Zhu.

With the wisdom of frustration, he naturally understood what Yuan Shao meant.

He was not surprised by this.

These people who followed Yuan Shao's side are now very clear about Yuan Shao's character.

But this is human nature, and even if he is frustrated with himself, he will also be suspicious.

Fu Zhu didn't think that Yuan Shao was so bad about dealing with it like this.

When Yuan Shao withdrew, he took 30,000 soldiers and horses with him, as well as most of the supplies, especially property.

In Changshan City, only enough food and grass for soldiers for half a year remained. and weapons and armor, of which bows and crossbows have the largest number of arrows.

Yuan Shao didn't need to attack Zhao Hui in frustration, as long as he held it.

Originally, Yuan Shao wanted to end this war as quickly as possible.

But now that he found that it didn't work, he quickly adjusted his new strategy.

Tai Shi Ci, who attacked from the south, was closer to Yecheng.

However, Tai Shici only has 50,000 troops in his hands, and Wen Chou can hold it for the time being.

Yuan Shao was more worried about Yanzhou Lu Bu.

Although it has always been said that Lu Bu is brave and unscrupulous, first Ding Yuan died in his hands, and then Dong Zhuo.

Now Cao Cao is in the hands of Lu Bu, and he has also fallen to this point.

Those who dare to underestimate Lu Bu will inevitably suffer in the hands of Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu really had no plan, with the things he did, he would definitely not be able to live until now.

I don't know how many times I've died.

Countless people wanted to kill him, but they didn't dare to do it.

Lu Bu is in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao is also unable to sleep and eat.

If it weren't for Lu Bu in the rear, Yuan Shao would have been able to fight a protracted battle with Zhao Hui, and there would be no need to attack in a hurry, so that he would lose his troops and lose his generals.

Han Meng died, and Chun Yuqiong was also abolished.

Although Yuan Shao did not sweep Chun Yuqiong out of the house, after Chun Yuqiong, he could only do some simple things.

Not dying of excessive blood loss is already Chun Yuqiong's luck.

If you change to an ordinary soldier who is weaker, you will definitely not survive.

Lü Bu and Cao Cao were still in a truce, and seven-tenths of Yanzhou was in the hands of Lü Bu.

Cao Cao occupied only 30% of the territory.

Although there are only three cities left at the beginning, the situation is much better.

But Cao Cao's strength is already weaker than Lu Bu.

And Yuan Shao can't spare his hand to support Cao Cao now.

Cao Cao wanted to recapture Yanzhou, but he could only rely on Cao Cao himself, and now there was no one to help him.

Yuan Shu in the south is now staring at Jingzhou.

Tao Qian in the east, before joining forces with Lu Bu, Cao Cao was already about to burn high incense, where did he dare to ask Tao Qian to help him.

To the west, Luoyang is now vacant, and on the Chang'an side, Li Dao and Guo Yan are fighting more and more fiercely.

Looking around, Cao Cao really couldn't find an ally who could help him now.

Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng and once again extended an olive branch to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could temporarily abandon Yanzhou and take his troops and horses to join him.

Yuan Shao is now facing a lot of pressure from Zhao Hui, and he especially needs a fierce general.

Although Cao Cao is now suppressed by Lu Bu, except for the fact that the territory has become smaller and the materials have become less, his strength has not decreased too much.

If Cao Cao takes all his belongings and goes to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will instantly become the number one prince who deserves to belong.

This is a result that Zhao Hui is very unwilling to see.

When Cao Cao showed this inclination before, Zhao Hui immediately sent people to Zhengcheng to spread rumors.

It's just that Cao Cao has dispelled the idea of defecting to Yuan Shao last time, and he won't easily start again this time.

Even if Yuan Shao promised better conditions than last time, Cao Cao was still unmoved.

Once Cao Cao made a decision, he would never change it.

What's more, his current situation is actually a little better than before, from three cities to nearly one-third of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao did not choose to take refuge in Yuan Shao, but asked Yuan Shao for support.

He didn't need Yuan Shao to send many soldiers and horses, as long as Yuan Shao could provide him with a little food and grass.

Yanzhou was the most affected by the locust plague, and the grain harvest in the autumn was almost wiped out.

Cao Cao is not short of soldiers now, but he is short of food.

If he had grain and grass in his hands, he could immediately start the war again and fight with Lü Bu for control of Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao hoped that Cao Cao would defect to him.

Cao Cao took refuge in Yuan Shao, which was the most beneficial to Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Shao can't get Cao Cao, he can only make a second choice.

Yuan Shao's second choice could only be to help Cao Cao and deal with Lu Bu.

It is impossible for Yuan Shao to give up Cao Cao because Cao Cao does not take refuge in himself.

Princes like Yuan Shao will always choose the plan that is most beneficial to them, and will not be rash.

will not give up Cao Cao just because Cao Cao does not take refuge in himself.

He gave up Cao Cao today, and when Cao Cao was destroyed by Lu Bu, he himself would not be happy.

After determining that Cao Cao really would not take refuge in him, Yuan Shao agreed to Cao Cao's request and would give Cao Cao a certain amount of grain and grass.

At the same time, Yuan Shao also discussed with the judge and others within himself, in addition to grain and grass, whether to give Cao Cao military support.

If there was no threat from Zhao Hui, Yuan Shao could have easily made this decision.

But now Zhao Hui's three-way army is attacking from three directions.

There is no problem in supporting Cao Cao on grain and grass.

But if you want to send troops to support Cao Cao, this decision will be difficult to make.

How many troops did you support Cao Cao?

Will Zhao Hui seize the opportunity because of the emptiness of the army?

There are many factors that need to be considered by Yuan Shao.

A decision that may seem like a simple answer, but it can have a huge impact.

In the end, Yuan Shao still did not dare to directly send troops and horses to support Cao Cao.

Zhao Hui is putting too much pressure on him now.

Under the city of Changshan County, Zhao Hui still sent people to the city every day to fight.

Even if Yuan Shao left, he was not ready to attack.

Yan Liang's injuries have healed, and he wants to go out of the city to fight many times, but he doesn't agree.

This place is now under the sole responsibility of Fu Zhi, and Yan Liang can only obey orders.

It's just that the morale in the city is getting lower and lower.

The Yuan army on the city wall, looking at Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses under the city fighting again, was already numb.
