Xu Youdao: If you can eliminate Cao Cao, it's worth it. It's just that Cao Cao's subordinates also have many wise people. He wouldn't let the army all enter the city. At most, a small number of troops entered the city. So that the waters would not be able to flood him.

Lord, this Xuzhou belongs to the lord. Our retreat is only temporary. We're going to take it back later. If the lower Pi is ruined, it is not good for the lord!

Yuan Shaodao: Now that Cao Cao occupies Xiapi, how can he be willing to retreat. I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back!

Xu You said with a smile: The lord can rest assured that it will take up to two years, and the lord will be able to recapture Xuzhou next year.

Yuan Shaodao: Our army suffered heavy losses. How can Xuzhou be recaptured?

The lord forgot, there is Zhang Jie behind Cao Cao! As long as Zhang Jie moves, Cao Cao will definitely defend the Yellow River defense line. Stick to Yanzhou. With Cao Cao's current strength, it is overstretched to hold Yanzhou. Then there are still troops to defend Xuzhou! So the lord can rest assured. As fast as a year. Slow is two years. Xiapi is still the lord's.

Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yuan Shao saw the sky like a cloud.

Dao: Good! Ha ha! Then let's give him Xiapi. However, there is no need to go to the embankment and set up an ambush. First, the soldiers were also very happy. Going to the river embankment to set up an ambush can't kill Cao Cao and a few people. Doesn't make much sense.

Secondly. Defeating Cao Cao won't do us any good. We also need him to fight Zhang Jie to the death!

The lord is wise.

On the same day, Yuan Shao emptied all the treasury of Xiapi Mansion. Retreat north to Langya County. Yuan Shao retreated with tens of thousands of people. Thousands of carriages. It shows that Yuan Shao is still very popular with the people. The people of Xuzhou hated Cao Cao to the core. The shadow created by the slaughter of the city back then was too great.

After Yuan Shao left, the next day, the vanguard of Cao's army came to Xiapi City. When the soldiers found out that Xiapi was an empty city. Report it to Cao Cao immediately.

Two hours after the morning. Cao Cao came to Xiapi. Seeing that the city is almost empty. Cao Cao said: Yuan Benchu fled without a fight, this is not like his usual style!

At this time, a young man dressed as a common man begged to see Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao saw that someone was looking for him, he called someone to bring him in.

Young man: Does my lord have a letter to General Cao?

The subordinates handed it over, and Cao Cao opened it and took a look. I only saw a few lines.

Cao Apu, you bastard. You and I are brothers. If you want to go down, give it to you for your brother. Why do you want to drown in the water! More than 100,000 people don't care about life or death. How can you bear it?

After reading the letter, Cao Cao said: Do you have anything else to say?

Without. Young and humane!

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Go back!"

Cao Cao showed the letter to several military advisors. Dao: What do you think this means?

Suddenly, poof! Bang! Guo Jiameng vomited a mouthful of blood. Fall to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly helped Guo Jia up.

Bonghyo, what's wrong with you? Cao Cao asked with concern!

Guo Jia was silent for a while, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. It's okay, let's talk about this letter! Guo Jiadao.

Xun Youdao: From this letter, it feels as if Yuan Shao received a report from someone that the lord wanted to flood Pi, so he retreated.

Who is this messenger? And how did we know that our army was going to be flooded? Besides, our army has not yet reached Xiapi, and I have never thought of flooding Xiapi!

Guo Jia wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth again: Being able to warn Yuan Shao that we will flood Xiapi with water shows that this person should know the terrain of Xiapi very well. And this person should be a wise and resourceful person, how could ordinary people think of a water attack plan?

Xun Youdao: No matter who this person is. But at present, Xiapi is an empty city. The lord could send a small number of soldiers into the city, and a large army was stationed outside the city. In order to prevent all the army from entering the city, Yuan Shao countered the strategy of attacking us with water.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zixiao, you take 5,000 men and horses into the city and take over the city." Tell your soldiers not to disturb the people.

Do not rob property. Those who violate military orders will be dealt with by military law.

Promise!

Cao Cao said: Now Xiapi has been lowered. According to the Malay report, Yuan Benchu had fled to Langya. What do we do next? It is to continue the pursuit. Or do you stand still?

Ay! Lord, Jia is guilty. Please punish the Lord. Guo Jiadao.

What is the sin of filial piety? Why is this so? Cao Cao said.

Jia originally thought that a decisive battle with Yuan Shao could lead to a battle and take the whole of Xuzhou. And I can capture a lot of Yuan soldiers for my use. But I underestimated Yuan Shao's determination too much. led to the loss of half of the main force in Pengcheng's first battle. And he did not capture many Yuan soldiers. As a result, our army is currently seriously understaffed.

Now Yuan Shao fled to Langya. I will definitely choose a strong city as a support to confront our army. Yuan Shao revoked Xiapi completely. At present, the number of troops in Langya will not be less than ours, maybe more, and it is a defensive city, which is really difficult to break through.

The most important thing is that if we attack Langya again, defeat Yuan Shao. How many people have to die? We only have 50,000 horses. If another 10,000 or 20,000 deaths are counted as if Langya is taken, then how many people do we have left? Moreover, with Yuan Shao's character. He would never surrender to his lord. Will definitely break through to Qingzhou. We can't chase it all the way.

Ay! The lord and Jia only persuaded the lord to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, with the aim of taking Xuzhou and Qingzhou and integrating all the forces of the Central Plains. So as to fight Zhang Jie. Ke Jia never expected Pengcheng to fight like this. To be honest, after the first battle of Pengcheng, Jia was not too worried.

Yuan Shao fled to Xiapi Jia, and did not let the lord pursue, so that Yuan Shao could transfer all the soldiers and horses to Xiapi. When Jia knew that Yuan Shao had withdrawn to Xiapi, Jia was very happy. Because Jia had already thought of a plan to block the four gates of Xiapi and then flood Xiapi. The First World War captured Yuan Shao himself and the main force. Thus spread to Qingzhou, Xuzhou.

What a pity! People are not as good as the sky, Jia doesn't know where the master can calculate the plan of flooding Pi in advance.

Jia originally thought that Xu You, Guo Tu and others would have to wait until our army besieged the city before they thought of a flood plan. In fact, as long as we besiege the city, even if Xu Yu and others see through this plan, it will not help. But I never expected that someone would calculate it in advance. As a result, Yuan Shao now abandoned the city and fled. Now if you want to find a plan like Xiapi that can flood the city, it is not easy to go down in a war.

Ay! Falling short.

Cao Cao also felt a pity when he heard Guo Jia say this. If Yuan Shao is in Xiapi, surrounds the four gates, and then releases water to flood the city, then Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of soldiers can be captured alive. Qingzhou can spread down. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It's a pity that now there is nothing.

But Cao Cao can't blame Guo Jia, after all, no one expected the result to be like this.

Cao Cao said: Fengxiao doesn't have to blame himself, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Besides, we still won. It's just that the casualties are a little bigger. It's nothing, how can there be a war that doesn't die.

It's just that now what are we going to do next, have you thought about it?

Guo Jiadao: From the current point of view, there is no point in fighting Yuan Shao again, because Yuan Shao cannot be caught. It can only be a lose-lose situation. In this way, Zhang Jie was cheapened for nothing.

The lord can first send someone to immediately take over all the county towns under Pengcheng, Xiapi and so on. Raise grain, grass and military funds for later use.
