Wen Chou was beheaded, the Yuan army was defeated, 200,000 soldiers and horses came out, and less than 50,000 returned, which shook the Yuan army very much.

At this time, although Yuan Jun was still in an advantageous position, the morale of the army was greatly affected.

This Wen Chou is the number one general of the Yuan army, and now he has been beheaded by the enemy, and it is still the first battle.

This hit the morale of the Yuan army hard.

Yuan Jun temporarily retracted and suspended the attack.

Cao Cao didn't pursue either, he didn't have the conditions to pursue yet, so he stabilized the situation for the time being, and then looked for opportunities.

The princes who were following the battle received the news a few days later.

After receiving the information, Zhang Yu sighed and said: "Some things are difficult to change after all, and it is estimated that Yuan Shao will not be able to change the fate of being defeated by Cao Cao." ”

After Zhang Yu and the others received the news, many people thought it was incredible.

Yuan Shao was so powerful, but the first battle was like this.

Zhang Yu didn't know what would happen in the end, so he stepped up the arrangement.

Yuan Shaohui's defeat was really unexpected by many people.

Many princes also did not expect that Yuan Shao would be defeated.

Zhang Xiu and Li Dao were already ready to suddenly attack when Cao Cao was tight and grab the territory.

This was indeed the best time, Cao Cao transferred most of his troops and other resources to fight against Yuan Shao, and Zhang Xiu and Li Dao were ready at this time.

Zhang Xiu and Li Dao have been waiting, waiting for the news of Cao Cao's defeat in the Yuan Cao War, and then they will attack Cao Cao's rear, and they will definitely be able to achieve a big victory.

As a result, they had been waiting for so long, and this Yuan Shao had a big defeat first.

"I didn't expect Yuan Benchu's million-strong army to attack Cao Cao, and this first battle was like such a bear, and even the number one general was beheaded." Zhang Xiu looked at the intelligence and said helplessly.

Zhang Xiu's military advisor Jia Xu said: "General, Cao Cao is fighting with Yuan Shao, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave a big hidden danger like us alone, knowing that we will attack them, if they are not prepared, it will be too much to look down on Cao Cao." ”

Zhang Xiu said disapprerovingly: "He Cao Cao has always wanted to destroy me and look down on me, but now he also has to be able to draw troops." ”

"It's that Zhang Yu is still angry that I want to kill him, this time he kindly sent me so much equipment, just to let me fight with Cao Cao, and then he attacked Cao Cao from another direction to get benefits, but I didn't expect him to let Sun Ce put it first, and now he is facing Sun Ce, and he can't take care of Cao Cao."

Zhang Xiu's analysis is too superficial, and Jia Xu is very confused about the current situation, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Cao Cao ostensibly used most of his forces against Yuan Shao.

Jia Xu admitted that he used Sun Ce to contain Zhang Yu's trick very cleverly, so that Zhang Yu could not cross Shouchun and blocked the way.

But Jia Xu didn't think that Cao Cao dared to despise himself and Li Wei, although the strength of both of them was not strong, they could also make Cao Cao's rear unstable at a critical time.

Once the rear is unstable, the front line will inevitably be in turmoil, and it may collapse without fighting.

Therefore, Jia Xu thinks that this Cao Cao must have a backhand, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Now Yuan Cao is fighting, Sun Ce and Zhang Yu are also fighting, and then Cai Mao also came out to attack Changsha, and most of the land of China is involved in this war.

And Zhang Xiu and Li Dao seem to be in an excellent position, as long as Cao Cao is defeated, they take the opportunity to attack, and the benefits are very great.

But Jia Xu didn't believe that these princes would be so simple.

These princes have all been killed from many competitors to the present, and none of them are simple.

"General, we still have to prepare early, and we must also find allies, or choose who to turn to." Jia Xu said.

Jia Xu has always been optimistic about Zhang Xiu, mainly because although Wancheng is good, it is too small after all.

As long as Jingzhou wants to do things in Wancheng, most of their roads can be blocked and they will not be able to develop.

At the beginning, Yuan Shu controlled this Nanyang, and Liu Biao didn't drive him out.

"Haha, the military advisor is too worried, as long as Cao Cao is defeated, we take the opportunity to attack the past and occupy a large area of land, we can develop, and we will also have the opportunity to win the Central Plains in the future." Zhang Xiu said.

Jia Xu did not continue to persuade, and it was useless to say anything at this time.

In Jizhou, Zhen Yi breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news.

When he received the news, he was more actively prepared, and he did not have that state of suffering from gains and losses at all.

Although Yuan Shao was still in an advantage, Zhen Yi had a strong feeling that Yuan Shao might really lose this time.

As long as Zhen Yi has not married his daughter to Yuan Xi, then they don't have to follow the Yuan family to accompany the funeral.

Zhen Yi stepped up the sale of property, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, he will expand the fur business with Youzhou and the grassland, and at the same time send a caravan to the Changbai Mountain area of Youzhou to inspect the medicinal herb market.

In this way, others thought that it would be reasonable for him to do other business, sell some family property, and raise funds.

He also exchanged a lot of silver tickets for money through some channels.

......

Yuan Shao didn't know how many people's decisions were affected because of this defeat.

But at this time, he was very angry.

But he can't scold, can he scold Wen Chou?

Wen Chou was defeated, but he also died, and Wen Chou made a lot of contributions to Yuan Shao during his lifetime, not to mention anything else, when he went to the Tiger Prison Pass, he and Yan Liang helped him lay a lot of territory in the rear.

"Everyone, who has a way, I should be responsible for losing this battle." Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Shao said that he was responsible, but in his heart he scolded Wen Chou, it was he who was incompetent, and he still fought like this when he had superior troops.

"Lord, at this time, we should take a break, our army is newly defeated, first stabilize the morale of the army, and then find an opportunity to win a game and save the situation." Frustrated said.

"Nonsense, although our army lost a battle, there are still more than 800,000 troops, which are several times that of Cao's army, so why be afraid." Yuan Shao was in a bad mood and scolded when he heard it.

Guo Tu's eyes rolled a few times, and then he came out and said, "Lord, my subordinates have a plan to save the morale of the army." ”

"Say." Yuan Shao calmed down his angry mood and said.

"My lord, my subordinates suggest that you become the king, come with the general trend, build the foundation of the king's hegemony, and crush Cao Cao with a dignified king."

After Guo Tu finished speaking, everyone hadn't reacted yet, and Yuan Shao was also stunned.

Reign at this time?

"What king? King of the Bohai Sea? The current King of Bohai is Zhang Yu. "Someone came up with the idea.

"No, my lord, never." Frustration immediately jumped out to stop him.

Tian Feng on the side was going to pull the frustration, but it was too late.

Yuan Shao's face immediately became gloomy, but then he eased up, and he didn't even look at him.

Tian Feng understood that he was afraid that Yuan Shao would be jealous of him.
