On the same day, Zhang Ming and the others retreated to the other side of the river, and Cao Jun did not kill again.

In fact, Cao Cao was powerless to hunt them down.

Although Cao Cao temporarily gained an advantage in strength, if he continued to fight, he would lose everything.

At this time, Cao Cao had more than 40,000 soldiers and horses left, and of course, Dian Wei and Xu Chu took 8,000 people.

Chun Yuqiong crossed the river first, and after he crossed the river, he hurried to find Yuan Shao, because he was afraid of being beheaded by Yan Liang.

Yan Liang naturally had a reason to kill him, because Chun Yuqiong escaped at a critical time, almost causing Gao Ran to die in battle.

If Chun Yuqiong can hold on for a little longer, wait for Yan Liang's rescue to arrive, and then kill back, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be seriously injured by them directly.

Then, Yuan Shao was able to directly lead the army, cross the river directly, and drive straight into it until Cao Cao was completely wiped out.

Now, though, it can't be that fast.

Chun Yuqiong also knew that she had made a mistake, so she went to find Yuan Shao.

When he went to find Yuan Shao, he didn't dare to deceive.

Because Yan Liang is Yuan Shao's number one favorite general, if he dares to cheat, he is looking for death.

However, under the pleading, Yuan Shao will definitely be soft-hearted.

"You, General Chunyu, you didn't do the right thing." Yuan Shao's serious admonition was Chun Yuqiong.

"If you can hold on a little longer, this battle will be much easier." Yuan Shao also felt a slight pity.

Chun Yuqiong knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Lord, it was my subordinates who did wrong, for the sake of being loyal all these years, I also ask the lord to be gracious." ”

Chun Yuqiong cried bitterly, indicating a mistake.

This Yuan Shao immediately relented.

The death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable, the heavy responsibility is twenty, and the crime is made to General Gao Ran.

Chun Yuqiong is definitely Yuan Shao's confidant, but Yan Liang and Gao Ran are not bad.

"Thank you, Lord."

By the time Yan Liang went to Yuan Shao's side to complain, Yuan Shao had already dealt with it, and Yan Liang couldn't do anything about it.

Chun Yuqiong's matter passed like this.

This Gao Ran was also very dissatisfied, but under Yuan Shao's persuasion, Gao Ran also admitted it.

That night, Yuan Shao held an important meeting.

"This time, Cao A's strategy is superb, although he succeeded, but his strength was damaged."

"We just took this opportunity to increase our troops, as long as it takes a few days, we will be able to kill again, under the strength of the army, under the heavy pressure, Cao Apu will definitely not be able to bear it."

This defeat is not a crime of war, and it can only be said that Cao Cao's plan is good.

Yuan Shao didn't blame anyone except for simply dealing with Chun Yuqiong.

This time, the senior generals and strategists have arrived.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, Guo Tu first said: "Lord, it's true, but this Zhang Ming has to be guarded, in this battle, he was afraid and did not enter the Cao camp, and then the rescue and attack were half a beat slower." ”

Yuan Shao nodded, and then said: "This Zhang Ming must be careful, but it doesn't matter, now that the general trend is on me, he can only obey." ”

Everyone knew that Zhang Ming was careful, but he didn't die without help, let alone fall into the well, everyone felt that Zhang Ming had done a good job.

It is impossible to make Zhang Ming go all out and fight Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao said: "When he attacks, I will arrange a team of soldiers and horses to cooperate with him, and I will not let him be in trouble." ”

The trial suggestion said: "My lord, at present, Cao Cao's army is weak, and the whole army is pressing, and he will definitely win." ”

Some of the rest of the fighters also found it feasible.

Therefore, Yuan Shao decided to start preparations again, suppressing all the tens of thousands of troops in the battalion, and at the same time transferring more soldiers and horses from his own territory.

Yuan Shao saw the hope of victory, and if he destroyed Cao Cao, his strength would be stronger.

At this time, Cao Cao, they were stepping up to build a large camp.

Cao Cao called Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.

"Two gentlemen, if the plan of the evil and the tiger idiot fails, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist Yuan Shao's army." Cao Cao said.

There are still more than 40,000 troops in their camp, and it is expected that Yuan Shao will kill them in a few days.

When the time comes, they will be difficult to resist.

So why are they fighting this battle?

This time, they also lost more than 10,000 troops, resulting in insufficient defensive forces, and if they were attacked by Yuan Shao for a period of time, the large battalion would not be able to support it.

Cao Cao naturally understood, and Cheng Yu and Guo Jia also understood.

But this operation was necessary, and after this battle, Yuan Shao's side turned their attention to the side of the camp, and ignored the grain and grass in the rear.

In this way, Dian Wei and Xu Chu have a chance.

If he hadn't gone through this battle, it would have been very difficult for Cao Cao to win.

Although he won this battle and killed a lot of Yuan troops, the Yuan army was strong and could not be cared about.

Cao Cao: They have no more options at this time.

On the other side of the river, Zhang Ming and the others re-encamped.

"Lord, the captured Cao Jiang has woken up."

After treatment, Cao Zhen finally woke up.

Zhang Ming went to see him.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

"Zhang Ming."

Two simple words, so that Cao Zhen didn't know what to say.

He woke up, but he was too weak to figure out where he was.

Fortunately, he was not arrested by Yuan Shao, but it is not a good thing to be arrested by Zhang Ming.

"Cao Zhen."

", surnamed Cao, it seems that there is no way to accept it."

Even if Cao Zhen dared to surrender, Zhang Ming wouldn't dare to use it.

Unless the Cao clan is destroyed, all the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan will not be able to use it.

In other words, Zhang Ming's captives are useless.

It's useless, and Zhang Ming didn't kill him.

There is no hurry to kill him.

You can kill it at any time, maybe the situation will change in the future, and this Cao Zhen will still have a little effect.

Let him be treated well.

The next day, Yuan Shao found Zhang Ming and indicated that he would attack and let Zhang Ming cross the river immediately and establish a camp.

and Zhang Ming crossed the river again to give them a front station.

The most important thing is that Yuan Shao's attitude this time is very arrogant, with a commanding tone.

This Yuan Shao has already eaten Zhang Ming, as long as Cao Cao is destroyed, he Zhang Ming will have no effect, and he can only choose to be a vassal when the time comes.

Zhang Ming went back.

"Grandma's Yuan Shao, just your ability, you still want to ride on Lao Tzu's head, sooner or later Lao Tzu will destroy you."

"No, it's not too late, you are doomed to lose this battle."

Zhang Ming actually always knew that Cao Cao was going to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass.

Because, this is his only chance to win.

Zhang Ming crossed the river again, but he also had a small military camp on the other side of the river, stationed hundreds of people, mainly special forces, and Cao Zhen was also there.

After Zhang Ming crossed the river, he re-entered the camp, and although they retreated, Cao Cao did not send anyone to destroy their camp.

Cao Cao and they are not free, nervously transporting supplies and building their own camps.

Yuan Shao and they want to cross the river, it is not so simple, and some of the grain and grass have to be transported over first.

At the same time, it is also necessary to let the vanguard troops build a camp first, and then cross the river in batches.

Both sides are scrambling for time, and it's up to them to see who succeeds first.

Four days later, Yuan Shao crossed the river, and this time the 100,000-strong army gathered and pressed all the troops.

Cao Cao's side is in danger and may be destroyed at any time.

Zhang Ming was also waiting anxiously, if Dian Wei and them failed, Zhang Ming didn't know whether to turn back and attack Yuan Shao.
