Zhang Yu: They are all cavalry, and their speed is naturally very fast.

After running for dozens of miles, Zhang Yu and they stopped to rest.

"Lord, where are we going?" After pausing to rest, Dian Wei asked.

"Go to Luoyang, that place Cao Cao drew a lot of troops to deal with Yuan Shu, and there are not many soldiers and horses at this time." Zhang Yu said.

As early as when Zhang Yu was going to Xuchang, he planned the route back, and only when he was sure did he dare to go deep alone.

There were still many Cao troops defending the cities along the road, but none of them could pose a threat to them.

In the hinterland, most people don't leave too many defenders, and even if there are many thousands of troops defending a city, there are still so many troops in relatively large cities.

Cao Cao's face was very bad when he entered Xuchang, not only did he come back from defeat, but he also suffered a big loss.

Cao Cao summoned all his subordinates: "Zhang Yu wants to go south from Luoyang to Jingzhou, and then use the Yangtze River to return to Jiangdong, although the road is long, but the danger is not great. ”

Zhang Yu was leading 50,000 cavalry, and he couldn't catch up with him, and the defenders in front couldn't stop him if they were scattered.

"Lord, let your subordinates and others lead the troops to chase and kill, you must not let him leave easily." Xiahou Yuan said.

Cao Cao didn't speak, the pursuit was certain, and if he didn't pursue Zhang Yu, he wouldn't leave.

But the current thing is not Zhang Yu, but Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yu made a big fuss in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao had already made a move.

Several cities on the front line fell, and Yuan Shao intensified his attack.

This is what Cao Cao is most worried about, not worried about how much damage Zhang Yu will give to Yanzhou, but he is afraid that Yuan Shao will give Yanzhou great damage.

Therefore, the most important thing for Cao Cao is to stop Yuan Shao as soon as possible and prevent Yuan Shao from continuing to destroy.

Since the crusade against Yuan Shu has failed, it is impossible for Cao Cao to do it again.

Speaking of Yuan Shu, it was still like a dream at this time.

Cao Cao fought to Shouchun, and he faced siege from all sides.

But as a result, now the enemy has either retreated or ceased fighting, and the situation is calm.

On the contrary, Yanzhou is lively.

Yuan Shu was fortunate and also aware of his own situation.

"Ji Ling, reorganize the soldiers and horses, increase training, and in addition, recruit another batch of soldiers and horses for me." Yuan Shu said.

Ji Ling received the order, but Yang Hong came out and said: "Your Majesty, this soldier has to continue to recruit and train, but the most important thing is to solve the problem of weapons and equipment. ”

Yuan Shu was in trouble, this time he suffered a huge loss, and he was knocked away by Zhang Yu so much money, he had already borrowed from these families several times, and they couldn't always lend money to themselves.

Yuan Shu knew that he didn't have a penny now, and he still owed a lot of money.

How much does it cost to buy weapons and equipment.

"Let's talk about it when the next tax is levied, I won't be able to get much money for a while." Yuan Shu said aggrievedly.

Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty, if you have money, you can get money." ”

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, he was most short of money now.

"Your Majesty, we can borrow money from Zhang Yu, although we need conditions, but if we don't recover our strength as soon as possible, this next time an enemy kills us, we will have nothing."

As soon as Yang Hong said this, Yuan Shu agreed, and ordered Yang Hong to let him go to Zhang Yu to negotiate.

Such a consensus has been formed within Yuan Shu.

Under Yuan Shu's madness, Yuan Shu continued to exploit the people and recruit troops.

And the family is their accomplice to exploit the people, they donate a large amount of money to Yuan Shu, but they get power from Yuan Shu and use various methods to exploit the people.

The people ruled by Yuan Shu are miserable, year by year, as Yuan Shu's ambition grows, their life is getting more and more difficult.

Talk about a few other ways.

Zhou Yu discovered the problem early, so he stopped attacking early in the morning and began to consolidate his achievements, and he was doing quite well.

Sun Ce had stabilized the occupied territory, and the entire Panyang Lake was under control.

And Lu Bu did even more desperately, occupying a large number of cities, and then learning from Zhang Yu to loot the cities, bringing back a lot of money, and moving millions of people back.

Cai Mao's side did not make much progress, he only captured three cities, and his own losses were not small.

However, Cai Mao also had gains, and after some purging, tens of thousands of troops became his descendants.

Several high-ranking generals also asked him to use various methods to get it back.

In this crusade against Yuan Shu, the biggest losses were Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't get any benefit at all.

I didn't get the face or the inside.

And everyone else has gained face and lining.

......

Zhang Yu continued to walk with the soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao did not chase after him for a while.

In fact, Cao Cao is also very entangled, there are fewer soldiers and horses, it must not work, it is too dangerous.

There are many soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao's side is not easy to deal with.

In the end, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to follow with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Ang to accompany him.

However, Cao Cao ordered that he only monitor Zhang Yu, not too close, try not to engage in battle, once Zhang Yu wants to attack or eat them, those who can enter the city will enter the city and consume Zhang Yu, and if they can't enter the city, they will stick to the spot, and then gather the soldiers and horses of the surrounding cities.

Cao Cao was also forced by Zhang Yu to have no choice.

The situation in Yanzhou is very interesting.

Zhang Yu and they ran wildly for three days.

"Evil, there's a small city ahead, let's rest there for a day, and then plan our next move." Zhang Yu looked at the map and said to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei immediately understood what Zhang Yu meant, and took 20,000 people to take the lead.

By the time Zhang Yu arrived at the small city, Dian Wei had already occupied the city and was waiting for Zhang Yu to arrive.

This kind of small city evolved from a town to a county seat, and it was usually garrisoned by hundreds of people, and it was very simple to attack it.

Zhang Yu and their speed were very fast, and they left Cao Jun for more than two days, and some had time to rest.

After Zhang Yu entered the city, he found a spacious place, and then spread out the map.

"Luoyang has 30,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, how can you attack it?" Zhang Yu looked at the map and said.

Since he had arrived here and had to pass through Luoyang, Zhang Yu had the idea of Luoyang.

It is of great significance to lay down Luoyang.

"Just do this, this time I have to make Cao Cao vomit blood." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu had already thought of a way.

"Evil comes to listen to orders..."

After thinking of a way, Zhang Yu acted quickly.

Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to send troops overnight to capture the city.

The cities he let Dian Wei capture were only small cities, the location of these small cities was not important, the population was not very large, and many defenders were generally not arranged, so it was easy to capture, and even some cities were not garrisoned by soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses stationed in the big cities are all big cities, and it is not easy to attack, so Zhang Yu will not move him.

Dian Wei took action, and Zhang Yu also took action.

The next day, when Zhang Yu left, there were 5,000 more people in the army.

Yes, Zhang Yu recruited troops overnight.
