Lord, although we have lost Pengcheng, our Xuzhou Qingzhou is still there. Cao Cao also suffered heavy casualties. Let's go back to Xiapi and prepare to fight again! Why bother to wipe out the whole army here? Xu Yu persuaded.

Guo Tudao: Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. This time, the two sides will be a draw at best. Cao Cao also suffered heavy casualties. I didn't take advantage of anything. It doesn't matter if you give Peng Cheng to him. I'll get it back next time. Please think twice!

Yuan Shao saw that the two military advisors were persuaded hard. There was also the stairs down. Dao: Okay! After the fate of Yan Liangwen was ugly. The rest of the people withdrew from the east gate to Xiapi. The face of life is good and ugly, and you can't love to fight. Get back to the team quickly.

Promise!

With the retreat of Yuan's army. Cao's army began to enter the city in full.

When Cao Cao and the others walked into the city. Cao Cao's face was pale, and none of the military divisions dared to speak out. It's all like soup.

Cao Cao has also been fighting for more than ten years. He has never seen such a tragic one. The entire Pengcheng became a city of corpses. There was a miserable cry.

Came to the Pengcheng Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Cao sat on the throne without saying a word.

At this time, Le Jin came over and said: Lord. Yuan Jun fled to Xiapi, to chase or not to chase?

Cao Cao glanced at Le Jin. And he was covered with blood. Unkempt.

Dao: Wen Qian, are you hurt?

Le Jindao: No, it's all the blood of the enemy.

It's good that you're not hurt, so let's go down and rest. Pass the order down, no need to chase. You ordered the battlefield to be cleaned and the body to be buried.

Promise!

After Le Jin walked. Cao Cao said: Alas! Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, you bastard. Let's fight for consumption here, and we have cheapened Zhang Shimin for nothing!

One day, you and I will have to become prisoners of Zhang Shimin's steps!

Ay!

The crowd was silent. Everyone understands that they have come all the way from just now. There were dead bodies everywhere, and you could tell that the casualties must have been very large. It may be a number that no one dares to mention. It's just that there are no statistics yet, and it is estimated that it is indispensable.

Bonghyo, what's next? Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jiadao: At this point, we have no way out. I can only fight hard. Otherwise, all the work done will be wasted.

Count the casualties first. Reassure the people. Two days later, the soldiers entered Xiapi.

Cao Cao nodded. He understands too. If you don't fight down. Yuan Shao will only need a year or two to regain his strength. And he couldn't. Besides, Zhang Jie won't give him time.

By the afternoon, the casualty count came out.

Cao Rendao: Our army lost nearly 30,000 people. More than 20,000 wounds. At present, there are only 50,000 horses who are not injured and can still fight.

Yuan Shao fled, taking with him only nearly 20,000 horses. Thousands of wounded soldiers. The rest all died in Pengcheng.

Xun Yu was shocked. Dao: Nearly 100,000 casualties on both sides? Oh, my God!

That's too big, right? How so? What the hell! How did you command from the front?

Cao Cao's heart was dripping blood.

Cao Rendao: The enemy seems to have been prepared for a long time, and put sandbags behind the city wall. Fighting at night, the situation is unknown, and the soldiers only know to move forward to kill. No one knows what the casualties are in front of you. and did not dare to retreat, for fear that the enemy would catch up. You can only kill. And the terrain is not big. It became a war of attrition. It wasn't until dawn that I realized that the people in front of me were gone.

Cao Cao waved his hand.

You said that if you let Zhang Jie know that we had killed and injured 100,000 people in the first battle with Yuan Benchu, would he die of laughter?

I guess he'll be happy and won't be able to sleep for three days! Cao Cao muttered to himself.

Yuan Benchu, I am your ancestor. What bullshit four times three dukes. Stupid pigs, stupid pigs, rats. Totally a big fool. Cao Cao scolded. But no amount of scolding will help. The military divisions also felt a lot of emotion. Very speechless! No one expected this result. This refueling tactic is simply a death tactic.

Cao Cao only rested in Pengcheng for three days, leaving the general Xiahou Yuan and 20,000 wounded soldiers, and the rest of the nearly 50,000 horses, and the troops entered Xiapi.

Yuan Shao fled back to Xiapi with nearly 20,000 people, and Xiapi was also called Xiapi State (County) which was the political center of Xuzhou. It is also the largest city in Xuzhou, with a tall city wall. Yuan Shao had 20,000 soldiers in Xiapi. Including those who escaped, there were more than 40,000 horses in total. The number of troops is not less than that of Cao Cao. But most of these soldiers had never fought much. Most of the recruits are recruits.

As soon as Yuan Shao returned to Xiapi, that night, someone came to report and received a letter from someone who shot him with an arrow. Yuan Shao opened it and took a look. Just four words. The water flooded the Pi.

As soon as Yuan Shao saw it, he immediately called several military advisors. Yuan Shao showed the letter to everyone.

Dao: What do you think?

Chen Lin said: No matter who wrote the letter, at least it shows that it is very likely that a little water will be flooded.

Yuan Shaodao: Can Surabaya flood the city?

Chen Lin said: It's better to ask Chen Yuanlong to talk about the situation. He is a local and should know.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao ordered someone to call Chen Deng.

Yuanlong, do you say that Surabaya can flood Xiapi?

Yes! The water level in Surabaya has always been relatively high, and if the embankment is dug up, it can be submerged. However, Surabaya is wide but not in a hurry. If you want to drown Pi. Yishui is better. The water level of Yishui is not high, as long as the Yishui is blocked first. Dig the embankment again. The river will flow down the river into the Xiapi moat. It doesn't take half a day. It will be flooded. Chen Dengdao.

Yuan Shao's head was big when he heard Chen Deng say this.

Dao: What if Cao Cao floods?

Yes! Chen Dengdao: There are more than 100,000 people in Xiapi, and millions of acres of fertile land will all be flooded. What if that's good?

Cao Cao wouldn't be so ruthless!

No! Cao Apu knows very well. He did it.

Guo Tudao: Lord, why don't we retreat to Langya! Give Xiapi to Cao Cao. lest the people sin in trouble.

Yuan Shao didn't speak. Dao: What's the plan?

The people did not speak. To be honest, it's really reluctant to let Yuan Shao give up Xiapi. Giving up Xiapi is actually equivalent to giving up most of Xuzhou.

Ziyuan, what is your opinion?

Xu Youdao: Since Yishui and Surabaya can be flooded to Xiapi, it means that we can't stay in Xiapi. If you stay, it will become a turtle in an urn.

But it was indeed unwilling to give it to Cao Cao like this.

If the Lord gives up on the lower side. There is a plan that can make Cao Cao lose his troops and generals.

Oh! Tell me what? Yuan Shaodao.

Xu Youdao: After Cao Cao came to Xiapi City. Seeing that the city wall of Xiapi is tall, it will not attack the city.

With Guo Jia, Xun Youzhi should be able to think of a plan to flood Pi.

In this way, the lord simply gave up Xiapi. Ambush the main force in Surabaya, by the Yishui River. Wait for Cao Jun to dig the embankment. Kill again. I'm sure I'll be able to catch him off guard.

Then the lord wrote a letter. To Cao Cao, tell Cao Cao that for the sake of the people of Xiapi, you took the initiative to give up Xiapi. Let him do less things that hurt heaven and reason to avoid being punished by heaven. Xu Youdao.

Yuan Shao thought for a moment. Dao: Do you still have different opinions?

The people were silent. Yuan Shaodao: If we withdraw from Xiapi, wait for Cao's army to enter the city. How about we dig another embankment and flood the Pi?

Chen Lin hurriedly said: The lord must not. If the lord digs the embankment, Cao's army will withdraw from Xiapi at most. There is not much to lose.

But the people of Xiapi suffered. and the fertile fields outside the city are all gone. This was a great blow to the reputation of the lord. Please think twice.
