After fighting all night, Zhang Ming and they withdrew.

The army withdrew.

And Cao Jun counted the losses, and this night, they lost thousands of people. ‘

How many thousands of them can die?

"Starting tonight, unless the enemy rushes to you, defend with a shield and don't fight."

Cao Ren gave the order.

This time, Cao Ren took command and commanded the army.

Cao Cao couldn't come in person, he wanted to sit in Xuchang and plan for moving south.

This is a big deal, there are so many things that need to be dealt with that he must personally take care of it.

It is also helpless to let Cao Ren command, Cao Ren is afraid that he will not be able to command Xu Chu and Lu Bu and others, but the generals surnamed Cao and Xiahou are very obedient to Cao Ren.

Cao Cao can only arrange it this way.

Only defensive, not offensive.

In fact, Lu Bu was very dissatisfied, so why did he let him do it?

Let him do the decoration.

Most of the generals are really decorations.

However, this battle is too important, and whether or not it can stop Zhang Ming is very crucial.

Therefore, Cao Cao must send the most elite soldiers and horses.

On the second night, Zhang Ming and the others attacked again.

But after playing for one night, there was not much progress.

The enemy defended, huddled behind his shield, and no matter how powerful their crossbowmen were, it was useless.

If they want to rush forward and fight each other in close combat, Zhang Ming and they will be at a disadvantage, this kind of thing, Zhang Ming will not do it.

In this way, for three days in a row, Zhang Ming and the others attacked at three nights, and they killed hundreds of people.

They were dragged down, and they couldn't move forward or retreat at all.

In the past few days that Cao Ren has blocked Zhang Ming, Cao Cao has already arranged everything for the families of some officials at home and began to move south.

Moving south was a long process, and Cao Cao needed time.

For several days, it was of no use except to harass the enemy.

Zhang Ming: They didn't kill a few enemies, and they didn't make much progress.

The army is here, and both sides need to endure huge attrition.

Zhang Ming is also under a lot of pressure.

An army of 200,000 attacked, consuming countless grains and grass every day.

On the seventh day, there was still no progress.

Zhang He and Xi Zhicai took another road with 50,000 troops, and they were also intercepted by the enemy.

But there were not many enemies who intercepted them, only 20,000.

In Xuchang, a large number of convoys go south every day, and they are going to move south.

Cao Cao first organized important people to move south with their families.

Some Maisons can organize their own moves south.

Many of these families have fled all the way from the north.

If they don't run once, their family property will shrink significantly.

Every time, I have to abandon my home, buy land, and so on.

There was no way, I was caught up by Zhang Ming, but there was still nothing.

In fact, if they can give up and return to Zhang Ming, although they don't have so many privileges, they can still retain their wealth.

It's just that you can't own a lot of land, you can't have private soldiers, you can't meddle in local government offices, and so on.

The most unbearable thing for them is that their children cannot directly become officials and cannot meddle in the affairs of the government, which makes them lose most of their privileges.

It is by virtue of these privileges that they have a great fortune.

Therefore, they want to follow Cao Cao, and they don't want to follow Zhang Ming.

Some people simply fled farther and ran to Jingzhou, Zhang Ming wanted to attack Jingzhou, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

Therefore, now Jingzhou has gathered a large number of families, and they are very rich.

The whole Jingzhou has been stable for many years, and it is still very wealthy.

In Yanzhou, a large number of people began to move south, but it was too difficult, and they needed a lot of time.

Cao Cao didn't sleep long every day, and kept running back and forth, very hard.

A large number of people moved south, and many people needed to organize.

The whole of Xuchang, as well as Chen Liu, there are still many places that are messy.

Some people take advantage of the opportunity to renew their bad intentions.

All this needs to be dealt with by Cao Cao.

Still others do not want to leave their homes.

For some wealthy families, Cao Cao had to personally go to the door to mobilize them to move south.

These people can organize themselves, as long as they are willing to move south, they don't need Cao Cao to organize another force to help them.

However, there are always many families who refuse to relocate, and the loss of this relocation is too great.

Cao Cao could only come to the door in person and promise benefits.

However, there are still some Maisons who don't buy it.

Cao Cao is in a bad mood every time he comes back, and he can't solve it by force now.

If you use force, it can be solved, but the whole Yanzhou will be in chaos, and Cao Cao will not dare to be careless at all.

In this way, Cao Cao was very tired every day.

In the south, Cao Ang is very capable and does a very good job.

Cao Cao had already transferred much of his wealth to the south.

After the organization of the official family, Cao Cao will begin to organize the people, which requires the cooperation of the army, otherwise there will be big problems if there is no one to coordinate.

Cao Cao also used many war horses, converted them into carriages, and prepared to pull the people south.

If you take the people away, you must take the whole family away, otherwise there will be big problems.

When the time comes, they will be dissatisfied with Cao Cao and make trouble, or run away, which will make it very difficult for them to deal with it.

Therefore, the people's homes, whether they are young or old, must be brought with them.

This increases the difficulty, and some old people have lost their value and have to bring them with them.

Cao Cao was difficult.

However, Zhang Ming at this time was not easy.

After a few days, no progress was made.

Zhang Ming and the enemy were in a stalemate here for ten days.

"Zilong, go out for a ride with me."

Thinking hard about the strategy, there was no progress, Zhang Ming took Zhao Yun to the sky and went up in a hot air balloon.

There are too many mountains in this continuous mountain, even if Zhang Ming attacks from above with a hot air balloon, he can't kill a few people, this is not a city.

"Big brother, the pressure on both of us is almost the same."

Zhao Yun reminded.

"If we drag it here, the more time Cao Cao will have to transfer the population."

The news from Cao Cao's side, Zhang Ming already knew.

In the sky above, watch the occasional lights below.

Zhang Ming couldn't help this nature, and even the mountains made Zhang Ming not make progress for a few days.

"Big brother, it's better to send special forces to sneak attack their grain and grass, and infiltrate them to hunt their generals."

"Okay, it's good to train the soldiers, and it's good if there are any big gains."

"In addition, there must be a group of soldiers and horses to the rear to attack their grain routes, but the enemy must have a lot of troops."

"We're just doing things that no one else can do."

"Send someone to investigate for a few days to determine the situation in the mountains, and then we will find a way."

After shaking around in the air, Zhang Ming went back.

After going back, Zhang Ming handed over the matter to Zhao Yun and didn't care about it.

Zhang Ming summarized the news from all parties.

Cao Cao's pressure was indeed huge, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to eat and drink, and the rear was constantly transporting grain and grass.

If it weren't for Cao Ang's large harvest in Tuntian, I'm afraid Cao Cao would still have to raise grain and grass everywhere now.

"Perhaps, it will really take a year and a half."

There was nothing to do, Zhang Ming could only wait.

Slowly consuming with Cao Cao, he believed that Cao Cao would be destroyed by him in the end, but let him take away a large number of people and wealth.

Although it is a pity, it is definitely cost-effective to win Yanzhou.
