Cao Cao laughed, "Hahaha!" Okay, then it's so good, your army and our army jointly attack the south gate of Ganling City, so, Mr. Fengxiao thinks it's good? ”

"Okay, since Cao Gong agrees to this, then Jia will go back to the camp to reply to my lord!"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and did not go to stay with Guo Jia longer. After all, it's a matter of business now, and the others can only be put aside first, everyone wants to break Ganling City as soon as possible, so they all think about it, and the others don't think too much-

Ma Chao's movements are fast, of course, it can be said that he has already been ready.

When Guo Jia returned from the Yanzhou army camp, he truthfully told his lord about the situation at Cao Cao's place, and Ma Chao ordered Ma Dai to lead his troops to the south gate of Ganling City, which was where the Yanzhou army was stationed. This matter has been said a long time ago, or if you don't directly lead the troops over like this, it is estimated that it will cause a big war.

After all, one of the two sides was stationed at the west gate of Ganling City, and the other was stationed at the south gate of Ganling City. But if there was no greeting, the Liangzhou army would have led the troops over directly, which would definitely cause unnecessary trouble. That's it, Cao Cao finished speaking, in fact, seeing that the Liangzhou army was coming, the Yanzhou soldiers didn't have a friendly attitude. After all, the two sides were originally hostile, but now they are only temporarily cooperating. But no one can forget what happened at the beginning.

It's not just that the Yanzhou Army doesn't like the Liangzhou Army, but it's actually the same in the eyes of the Liangzhou Army. If it weren't for their lord's request for cooperation, they would never have attacked a city gate with others. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, with their own strong combat power, can it be said that they can't capture a Ganling City. Even if there are more than 100,000 Jizhou troops in the city defending, but breaking the city is for the Liangzhou soldiers. They think it's just a matter of time.

But they also knew that in order to reduce casualties and break the city as soon as possible, their lord (state pastor) had to cooperate with Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army. So although the Liangzhou sergeant is indeed a little reluctant, but obeying the order, this is what the sergeant should do-

A day later, the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army cooperated to attack Ganling City, and as a result, the defenders of Ganling City were very busy. The day before, the two armies were attacking the two city gates, the west gate and the south gate. But after a day, there is a rate of change. People learned to be smart, and they attacked directly towards a city gate, or the weakest of all the city gates, which is this south gate. In the past, people united to attack together, but now they are completely united.

Therefore, the guards of Ganling City are too busy to do it. The key is not to look at the fact that there are dozens of soldiers in Ganling City, but the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army also have 110,000 soldiers here. So in terms of numbers. In fact, you don't have an advantage. Your advantage is nothing more than defending the city and having a city. Without the city as a barrier, then you will not be an opponent of others. And for this, Jiao Touch's heart is like a mirror, he is too clear to be clear, isn't that what is going on?

Jiao Touch, sweating profusely all over his body. Really, it was the first time he had received a fierce attack from now. I have to say that I didn't have much defense of the city before, yes. It is the city where the Jizhou army of their own side leads the troops to attack other people's cities, and it cannot be said that there is no one who attacks them, but this situation is too rare.

Since following his lord, it has been the Jizhou army that has attacked people. It was nothing more than that it took a long time to destroy Gongsun Zhan, and the two sides fought for many years, and it was only after the last that Gongsun was destroyed. But even so, Gongsun Chan has never attacked the hinterland of Jizhou, but now that the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army are about to take the entire territory of Jizhou, I have to say that it is indeed the first time in the world. No matter how powerful Gongsun Chan was before, he couldn't capture many cities in Jizhou, but the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army were really strong opponents.

At least in Jiao Zhan's eyes, the combat power of the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army is definitely not comparable to the previous Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Army. Even if Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Army has a world-famous white horse righteous servant, but the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry of the Liangzhou Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Yanzhou Army are not vegetarians. The Liangzhou Iron Horse and the Tiger and Leopard Horse are not necessarily worse than the White Horse Yicong, or even stronger than it.

Watching the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army keep attacking Ganling City, the anxiety is big. It was the first time to encounter such a siege battle, the Yanzhou army went first, and then was repelled by their own side, and after that, the Liangzhou soldiers immediately made up for it and attacked again. Then after the Liangzhou army retreated, the Yanzhou army came again, and so on. But they have two sides of the people, but on their own side, there are people on the Jizhou army, so even if there are a lot of people, they also suffer losses, and there are actually a lot of family members.

After several rounds of fighting, Jiao Touch finally suffered the retreat of the two armies. Watching the two sides recede like a tide, Jiao Touch finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the head of the city. I was nervous and nervous before, and it was impossible to defend the city without being nervous. As a result, now that the enemy has retreated, as soon as he relaxes, he can't get up.

Jiao Touch was soaked all over his body at this time, and sweat was like rain. He would never have thought that one day, he would defend the city by himself, and he would collapse on the top of the city in the end. If this had been before, I would have never imagined it. But now, I know the truth, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you can't hold Ganling, then your worst fate can be imagined.

Jiao Touch is also afraid of death, yes, who lives well and wants to die. And he is not a die-hard person who is loyal to Yuan Shao, so he actually has different intentions, he is afraid that if he continues like this, his fate will not be good, so he doesn't want to think about it too much-

Liangzhou Army, Ma Chao's Chinese Army Tent, at this time he was listening to the soldiers report to himself about the casualties of his siege, to be honest, it was indeed less than yesterday's casualties. Therefore, Ma Chao knew Lu Dao and united with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army. It worked. After all, yesterday was only a tentative attack, so today's official attack, but the casualties are few, even if it is only a little, but it also means that there is an obvious effect. So Ma Chaozhi said, he had to continue like this.

He knew that Yuan Shao's body seemed to be failing, so once Yuan Shao died, then the spiritual pillar of the Jizhou army would be gone, so what would they do to compete with themselves and the Yanzhou army. Of course. Ma Chao didn't pin his victory on Yuan Shao's death, after all, you think Yuan Shao is going to die, but maybe people can live for a few years, this is not necessarily.

Similarly, in Cao Cao's Great Tent of the Chinese Army. He also listened to the soldiers' reports of his own casualties. He also knew the Dao, and he knew that the Dao was like this. Then it should have been integrated with the Liangzhou army a long time ago. Let's attack the south gate together. But now it's not too late to know this, after all, this is the second attack, so it's not too late.

As for Yuan Shao's body, of course Cao Cao also heard about it. However, he, like Ma Chao, did not pin his victory on this. And for Cao Cao, he still didn't want Yuan Shao to die of illness like this. After all, if this is the case, he is not only missing an opponent and enemy, but also an old friend. Anyway, decades of friendship. Even if it's hostile now, there are still friends and feelings, which is good.

It's the same with Ma Chao, whether it's Cao Cao vs. Ma Chao, or Ma Chao vs. Cao Cao. Even if the two armies are actually hostile and temporarily cooperating, there are still feelings of friends, and there is nothing wrong with this-

The world is unpredictable, in the sixth year of Jian'an, in 201 AD, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, a generation of overlords who once dominated the four northern states, finally finished his fifty years of life.

Yuan Shao died of illness, he was too sick, and he had to think about the war with the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army day and night, so in this way, even if he was an iron man, he would not be able to support it for a few days.

Yuan Shao, the original character, is a native of Ruyang, Runan. Born in a famous family, he is the son of the Yuan family in Runan, and because five of the four generations from his great-grandfather's generation are ranked as the third duke, so the people of the world call the Yuan family "the fourth and third dukes".

Yuan Shao once served as a lieutenant of Sili, and in the first year of the first peace, when the princes were discussing Dong, he was elected by the princes as the leader of the coalition.

After the world was in turmoil, first occupied Jizhou, and then seized Qingzhou and Erzhou, and then destroyed Gongsun Zhan, the overlord of Youzhou in the north, and became the northern overlord of the four states in the world for a while.

But Yuan Shao, who became the overlord of the north, was at the peak of his power, and then began to decline. Ma Chao's Liangzhou army and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army attacked Hebei one after another, but Yuan Shao was attacked by the two armies, first lost the annexed state, and then was defeated by Cao Cao's Yanzhou army at Guandu, allowing the Yanzhou army to enter Jizhou. After that, the Liangzhou army attacked Jizhou again, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou army was defeated and retreated under the strong attack of the Yanzhou army, until today-

Yuan Shao died of illness, and when he was dying, he called all his subordinates, and after saying a few words to the judge, he died, and everyone was very sad. In any case, even if it is Jiao Touch, people who are not so loyal can't help but cry. Regardless of Yuan Shaoqi's person, but recently, he is quite good to his subordinates, but he still hasn't escaped the clutches of disease.

The news of Yuan Shao's death couldn't be concealed at all, and of course, the trial was not prepared to hide it. So in less than a day, the entire Ganling City, and even Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and Ma Chao's Liangzhou army all knew the news. If you want to talk about Yuan Shao's death, there are only a few people who are the saddest, his wife Liu, and his youngest son Yuan Shang Yuan Xianfu, and then there is the trial, and the most important is Cao Cao outside Ganling City. As for the others, of course, they don't feel too much, like Ma Chao, he is still happy that Yuan Shao died of illness, so it is good.

It's just that he also knows that Yuan Shao died of illness, so the grudge with him is over today. After all, the ancients said that the so-called death and hatred of people are eliminated. Originally, if he was still alive, Ma Chao would have pursued Zhang Yang for revenge, and it was estimated that he would continue to chase after him until he killed Yuan Shao. But now there is no need for this, and Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao. Woe to his wife and children, he has nothing to do with his grudges and others, and Ma Chao has no intention of paying off his father's debts and sons-

Yuan Shao died of illness in Ganling City, Qinghe State, and the Jizhou Army was the whole army to hang filial piety, and the people of the whole city also mourned in the city.

Ma Chao and Cao Cao also sent envoys to Ganling at the first time, replacing the two of them, and expressed their condolences. After all, although it is hostile, there is no deep hatred. Even if it's Ma Chao. In fact, Zhang Yang was not killed by Yuan Shao, but it was because of Yuan Shao that Zhang Yang committed suicide, so in fact, Ma Chao did not have so much hatred for Yuan Shao. As for Cao Cao, that's even less to say. There is no grudge at all, but there are decades of friendship. If he hadn't been able to come on his own. He wanted to go himself.

Ma Chao asked Guo Jia to go to Ganling instead of him. And Cao Cao let Xun You go. Ma Chao made his most relied on strategist to replace him, and Cao Cao did not let Man Zhong go, but let Xun You go, after all, Xun You is also a child of a family, so it is more appropriate for him to go-

In Ganling City, the trial summoned everyone. He also asked Yuan Shang, after all, before Yuan Shao died, he handed over his position to Yuan Shang, no matter what. Yuan Shang is the only heir to Yuan Shao's own words.

After everyone arrived, Yuan Shang said to everyone according to the confession of the match: "You are all Shangzhi's elders, now that my father has just died, I don't know why your uncles and uncles taught me?" ”

When everyone saw that their lord was gone, there was only this orphan and widow left. To be honest, even people who are not so loyal to Yuan Shao have to feel that Yuan Shang is a little pitiful. Although Yuan Shang's ability is okay, no one thinks that he can resist the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army. So it's not that I don't have confidence in him, I couldn't do it when the lord was there before, and now this new lord is still impossible.

So someone said, "Lord, retreat now!" Our army should withdraw from Ganling and withdraw from Qinghe, so it is better for the lord to make plans as soon as possible! ”

Yuan Shang heard it, "So can it only be like this?" ”

He doesn't have any confidence, even if the Jizhou army still has more than 100,000 horses, but how many days can he hold Ganling City? One day? Ten days? It's still more, it's not that Yuan Shang is not confident, but he is self-aware, his soldiers can't be compared with the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army, and he can't be compared with the hussar general Ma Mengqi and Sikong Cao Mengde.

The person who spoke before nodded, "The lord should know, 'When you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it'!" ”

Yuan Shang looked at the others and saw the expressions of the others, which basically meant the same. Now no one wants to continue to fight with the Liangzhou army and the Yanzhou army in Ganling. In fact, the soldiers don't have much fighting spirit, especially when Yuan Shao is already dead, not to mention morale, even the combat power has decreased.

Yuan Shang looked at the trial, "I don't know what Kong Zhang said before, what does the military advisor think?" ”

The person who spoke before was the main bookkeeper Chen Lin, the word Kong Zhang, who didn't have much strategy, but his writing was excellent, and he was a very talented person.

The judge shook his head, and had no choice but to say: "Now it can only be like this, everyone, now that the old lord has died of illness, he is worthy of acting according to the will of the lord." And although you are still a member of the Jizhou Army, you will not delay your good future, if there are people who are willing to join the Liangzhou Army or the Jizhou Army, they will leave on their own, and the trial will not stop you! ”

Judging that meaning, before retreating, if you want to take refuge in Ma Chao or Cao Cao, go ahead, and I won't stop you.

As a result, when everyone heard this, not to mention, two people really stood up and prepared to leave.

And the judge sneered: "Is there any, since there is no more, then ......"

Before he finished speaking, he directly pulled out his saber and stabbed one of the two people who were leaving, killing two people directly.

The trial match is definitely not a simple strategist, and his martial arts can be said to be quite good, so killing two defenseless people can be said to be really easy for him.

I only heard him sneer at this time: "Although the trial will not stop it, he has never said that he will not kill people!" Now that the lord is dead, who dares to defect to the enemy, the first one will not agree! If there is a violator. Just like that! ”

Others looked at the trial and were scared from the bottom of their hearts. Even if the judge is just a scribe, but no one dares to ignore his words, who doesn't know that he is a "madman". Since his lord can entrust him with big things, then he is sure that he is not an ordinary person, and his colleagues have known the temper of the Dao judge for so many years, and he definitely does what he says. If you take refuge in the enemy, it's better not to be discovered by him. But once he finds out, then the fate of the last person will be no different from the two people who are dead now-

At this time, Jiao Touch looked at it like this, and then listened to what the judge said, and his heart was beating the drum. He was too scared to do it. Even if he is a military general, he is still afraid of trial. After all, it's "a man's name." The shadow of the tree". You say who you are Jiao Touch, basically no one has heard of it, but when it comes to trial, almost everyone in the Jizhou Army knows the way, is it a "madman" in trial?

At this time, Jiao Touch was extremely happy, fortunately he didn't stand up stupidly. Otherwise, what difference can there be between the two who end up and are already dead. The two people who died are really wronged, and it can be said that they don't know much about the "trial madman" person. If he can really make you surrender to the enemy like that, then he won't be a "trial madman". To say that there may be only two people who want to join the enemy, it is obviously impossible. But just two fools moved, what happened to the result, it wasn't clicked by the "trial madman".

The judge looked at everyone present, except for Yuan Shang, he just said that he did not mean to kill chickens and monkeys. Of course, he also knew that there would never be only two people who wanted to surrender. But the two of them were unlucky and let themselves bump into each other, so it was impossible not to kill them. These two chickens, how many monkeys can be exemplified, this is not necessarily, but it can have some effect.

"Everyone, I hope you don't have any dissenting intentions and do your best to protect the retreat of the lord!"

"No!"

Everyone didn't dare to make a promise, or let the "trial madman" be arrested and killed, how unlucky it would be-

In one night, the Jizhou army withdrew from Ganling, abandoned the city, and ran directly from the Qinghe River to the Bohai Sea.

When Ma Chao and Cao Cao Zhilu told the news, the two seemed to have discussed, and neither of them did anything until all the Jizhou troops had retreated from Ganling City.

In Ma Chao's big tent, Ma Chao found Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, now the Jizhou army has withdrawn." Our army should have discussed with the Yanzhou army before, and take over the northwest of Qinghe State, you are going to envoy the Yanzhou army camp, so you will ...... with Cao Mengde"

Guo Jia listened and nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, Jia is self-reflective!" ”

"Alright, without further ado, you can go. By the way, don't forget, let Bozhan come back with the troops, let's leave early in the morning! ”

"No!"

Ma Chao thought simply, now that the Jizhou army has withdrawn from Ganling, then the cooperation between himself and Cao Cao has temporarily ended. As for whether there will be a chance to cooperate again in the future, I guess there will be none. If we meet again, it will either be your death or my death, it can only be hostility, and there should be no more cooperation.

So I asked Guo Jia to make it clear to Cao Cao that he was going to leave with his troops, and you, Cao Mengde, should not forget the agreement between us. As for the Montenegrin Army that has not yet arrived, Ma Chao is not worried about them, anyway, he is going to retreat to the northwest, and the Montenegrin Army is also coming from that direction, so it may not be possible to see them when he retreats, so ......-

Guo Jia went to the Yanzhou military camp again and made Ma Chao's meaning clear to Cao Cao, Cao Cao understood, he didn't say much, just said: "I understand Meng Qi's meaning." I also asked Mr. Fengxiao to go back and inform him, just say that I, Cao Mengde, will not break my word. The northwest of Qinghe Country returns to the Liangzhou Army, I understand that I will not regret it! ”

"In this way, thank you Cao Gong!"

Cao Cao smiled, "I won't stay Mr. more!" ”

Cao Cao's Yanzhou army still has a lot of things to do, such as taking over Ganling City, and there are still a lot of messy things.

And Guo Jia naturally knew that Lu said, "So, Jia farewell!" ”

Cao Cao also asked Xun You to send Guo Jia on his behalf, after all, Cao Cao is still very polite to a talent like Guo Jia. And Xun You and Guo Jia, who have been friends for many years, had a good relationship when they were in Yingchuan Academy-

Guo Jia greeted Ma Dai, who was still at the south gate, and said what his lord meant, and when Ma Dai heard it, he quickly led his troops to retreat. In fact, he already knew that it was time to retreat, but in front of his lord, he was indeed not a good private soldier, so as soon as the lord's military order arrived, he immediately ordered to retreat from the south gate of Ganling to the west gate.

Guo Jia returned, and then Ma Dai also withdrew with his troops. The two came back to give Ma Chao an errand, and Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, pass on my military order, immediately order troops, retreat to the northwest, and return to Anping!" ”

"No!"

Ma Chao's Liangzhou army also retreated to Anping, he was not afraid of Cao Cao, but to be honest, if the two sides really started a war here because of something, then it would definitely not be beneficial to their own side. So in order to avoid this, Ma Chao made a quick decision and led his troops to retreat in the direction of Anping. (To be continued......)
