Zhou Yu left Changsha City with Zhou Tai, and as for Jiang Qin, he left it to Sun Ce, after all, now Zu Mao was killed, Huang Gai was seriously injured, and Sun Ce was the time to employ people.

He believed that with his wisdom and Zhou Tai's martial bravery, they would definitely be able to protect the old lord Sun Jian and arrive in Jizhou to find Liu Yuan safely.

Originally, Sun Ce did not agree with Zhou Yu to keep Jiang Qin, but in the end he was persuaded by Zhou Yu.

Now Sun Ce is taking Jiang Qin and Cheng Pu to stand on the city tower and watch Zhou Yu's convoy leave.

At the same time, Liu Yuan, who was originally in Jizhou, had already fought several battles with Cao Cao, and Liu Yuan relied on Puyang County to resist Cao Cao's attack to the death.

After Cao Cao attacked Puyang County for seven days, his current offensive has become somewhat weak, and his men can lose a lot during this time.

Before, he collected 300,000 yellow scarves in Qingzhou, but after removing the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children, there were more than 100,000 people who could go into battle.

In addition, he has been governing Qingzhou for more than two years, although he has tried his best to restore the production of Qingzhou, but the effect achieved now is not obvious.

Therefore, although Cao Cao has a lot of soldiers and horses, there are many problems with his supply of grain and grass, and the attack on Puyang in the past few days has made Cao Cao feel a little powerless.

originally thought that the four princes were besieging Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan should not be able to draw out many manpower to defend himself.

But he didn't expect that Liu Yuan would personally bring someone to meet him, which made Cao Cao a little depressed.

As long as his opponent was not Liu Yuan, he was confident that he would take the entire territory of Puyang County, but now he let Liu Yuan block out of Puyang City, and he didn't even enter the boundaries of Jizhou.

If he continues to consume like this, he may not even reach the edge of Jizhou, and Liu Yuan will exhaust his grain and grass, and what should his subordinates do when they eat horses?

Cao Cao has a headache here, Liu Yuan doesn't have as many thoughts as him, Cao Cao has brought him great pressure during this time, after all, Cao Cao has many generals under his command.

And this time he only brought Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai.

There is no problem for these three people to defend the city, but once they encounter the Xiahou brothers or Xu Chu leading the team to attack the city, they will be a little overwhelmed!

Every time these people led the team to attack the city wall, Liu Yuan would definitely stare at these people.

Whenever one person goes to the city of Puyang, he must definitely rush to the other party's side as soon as possible.

In case the two of them went to the city at the same time, then they had to let Guan Hai and Zhou Cang deal with one person together, but fortunately, the three of them went to the city at the same time.

After all, Liu Yuan's soldiers were not vegetarians, and their elite level far exceeded that of Cao Cao's men.

Unless they encounter the kind of situation where two or three generals attack a city wall together, they may miss one!

But the other one wants to climb the city wall, which is almost impossible, unless he risks being seriously injured, he can desperately climb the city wall.

But at that time, he was unable to fight anymore, and even if he went to the city wall, he could only become a burden to his own people, so no one would take such a risk to enter the city.

Therefore, Puyang City has always been firmly in the hands of Liu Yuan, not only that, but the other princes are not as good as Cao Cao's progress.

Especially Yuan Shao, the initiator of the siege of Liu Yuan by the princes of the Four Routes.

Yuan Shao originally thought that Liu Yuan, facing the attack of the princes of the Four Routes, would definitely transfer back Guan Yu and the others who had killed the division.

But he didn't expect that Liu Yuan not only did not transfer back Guan Yu and the others, but instead made Guan Yu and the others step up their attack on Si Li.

During this time, the other party successively captured more than 20 of his cities, including two county-level cities alone.

If he hadn't concentrated all his strength, it would have been impossible to stop the other party's progress.

Even so, he was trembling all day long, for fear that if he accidentally killed Liu Yuan's men and horses under Luoyang City, then his good days would come to an end!

However, to his relief, Zhang He and Gao Ran came back, and he was happy to go to meet the second general.

But when he saw the two generals under him, Yuan Shao's heart burst out with endless anger at that time.

Looking at the virtues of these two people, he knows that they must have failed, although it is not a shame to lose in the hands of Sun Ce, but now he is most distressed by his 50,000 horses!

After all, now Liu Yuan's four generals are constantly attacking his forces, and having those 50,000 horses and not having those 50,000 horses are completely different concepts.

Yuan Shao came to the army of the second general Zhang He with a black face, and when he saw that Zhang He and Gao Ran only brought back less than 20,000 people, Yuan Shao ordered someone to tie up the second general at that time!

Then he ordered the two generals to be executed, if it weren't for Guo Tu and other strategists to persuade each other, maybe this time Zhang He and Gao Ran would have gone to Naihe Bridge to drink soup together!

After more than half an hour of persuasion, Yuan Shao himself realized that now was indeed not the time to kill the second general, after all, he was now employing people.

Anyway, even if he killed these two fools under his command, the more than 30,000 people under his command would not be able to come back, so it was better to let them make meritorious contributions and go forward to resist the attack of Liu Yuan's men.

If the two of them can make meritorious deeds there, they will also be spared by the donkey.

If these two fools were still defeated by Liu Yuan's men, he would have to kill them both!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao ordered the release of Zhang He and Gao Lan, and then he scolded the second general for a bloody squirt, thanked him and ordered the second general to go out immediately.

Zhang He and Gao Ran didn't dare to say anything, so they could only drag their tired bodies and less than 20,000 remnants to the front line to support Ju Yi, who was struggling to support.

When Zhang He and Gao Lan left Luoyang City, after the two of them glanced at each other, they both saw extreme dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

This time, the two of them failed to flee back, and they still felt very sorry for their lord.

But after the incident just now, they now don't have the slightest guilt about Yuan Shao.

Even now, in their hearts, they already have feelings of hatred for Yuan Shao.

The two of them were defeated by each other's hands, but the two of them dared to pat their chests and say that the two of them had done their best!

If it weren't for the luck of the other party, who came to the reinforcements at the last moment, maybe he would have succeeded in defeating the opponent in this battle!

It can be said that the two of them lost this battle very unjustly.

But his lord didn't even have a chance to explain the two of himself, so he was going to push the two of them out and cut them down, how could this not make them feel cold.

What's even more excessive is that Yuan Shao didn't care about their state at all, so he ordered them to continue the expedition.

The nice thing to say is to let them make meritorious contributions, and the ugly point is to push them to death!

Is such a lord still worthy of their service, at this moment, Zhang He and Gao Ran's hearts planted the seeds of Yuan Shao!
