"Withdraw!"

The flag of the Yuan army, which was covering the air, shook, and in the shaking, the big flag moved away, revealing a blood-colored battlefield in front of the flag.

Yuan's army retreated from the mottled camp wall and gradually withdrew. Cao Jun on the camp wall held his spear and looked at the distant military horses, and only then did they let go of their blades until they were almost invisible.

Some sat down, leaning against the wall, gasping for breath as they let themselves sit on the ground covered in blood.

A few drops of sticky blood dripped down the white tassels on the spear, Gu Nan held the spear, and the sky was a reddish sunset. The sunlight submerged into the mountains, leaving only red clouds to obscure them. There was silence above the camp wall, and pools of blood slowly flowed.

The Yuan army retreated, but there was no cheer among the Cao army, it should be that they were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to congratulate themselves on surviving.

In the corner, a veteran took out half a piece of dry food from his arms, and without paying attention to the blood stains on the dry food, sat down in the pile of corpses, took a big bite and chewed and swallowed.

The other man lying next to him didn't move, and he remembered very well that it was a new recruit who had just arrived this year.

The recruit was half-lying there, in a daze.

"Hey." The veteran elbowed the recruit, broke off a small piece of the bloody half of the dry ration in his hand, and handed it over.

"Would you like something to eat?"

"No, you don't." The recruit's head shook slowly and slightly.

"Then I'll eat it myself." The veteran asked as he put the broken dry food in his mouth and ate it.

"What are you thinking, why don't you ask me, I've been in this barracks for many years, and I know it inside and out."

The recruit looked at the veteran and opened his chapped lips.

"Whether we can go back alive or not, my mother is still waiting for me."

The veteran's movements paused, his mouth chewing dry food stopped, and his eyes looked around a few times.

What enters the eye is either a corpse or blood.

"Hmph." With a dry laugh, the veteran continued to eat the dry food. He couldn't answer that question.

After this battle, Yuan Shao basically found out the strength of Cao's army on Guandu, and after not worrying, Yuan's army stepped up its offensive, from building high-rise buildings to harassing the army, and even tried to dig the ground to attack the camp, but Cao's army blocked them one by one. The two armies held each other, and there was no result for a long time between one attack and one defense.

Although Cao's army did not have to worry about grain and grass because of the problem of storing grain, the soldiers were tired and the rear was not stable, so it became more and more difficult to defend.

In the middle of the night, it was already the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the cicadas could no longer be heard at night.

Xun You, Guo Jia, and Gu Nan walked on the camp wall, looking at the night outside.

Under the camp wall was a deep ditch, which was used to prevent the Yuan army from digging tunnels to enter the camp, and the Yuan army did everything to attack the Cao camp.

The situation of Cao Jun is becoming more and more unoptimistic, and even Guo Jia has been frowning from time to time these days, probably thinking about a plan to break Yuan Jun.

The advantage of Yuan's army is too obvious, even if he can't attack Cao's camp, just drag Cao Cao like this, Cao's situation will not be good.

Recently, news came from Guangling that Sun Ce in Jiangdong had the possibility of going north. If Sun Ce also went north, Cao's army would have to retreat to Xuchang.

The three of them walked slowly on the camp, and they could see the campfire in Yuan's camp from a distance.

After walking for a while, Xun You asked Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, do you have a plan to repel Yuan's army?"

The faint smile on Guo Jia's face sank a little, and he said in a slightly worried tone.

"Now that the Yuan army has abundant food and grass, its morale is high, and there are far more troops than the generals, it is not a temporary matter to break the Yuan army."

Xun You smiled bitterly with a sad face.

"Even you can't help it······"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I don't always have a way, now I can only wait, wait for an opportunity, as long as the time comes, I will definitely be able to break Yuan Jun." ”

When the two armies fight, the difference between victory and defeat often lies in the grasp of the timing, and he is still somewhat confident in this regard. He also believed that Yuan Shao would show his flaws sooner or later, and he was worried that before the time could be broken for Yuan Jun, Cao Jun would have to retreat to Xuchang.

And once this battle is retreated, it is a loss of the general trend of the world.

"Timing." Xun You bowed his head lightly and stopped talking.

"Whew." The west wind was blowing outside the camp, and the autumn clothes were getting thicker, and even the wind was getting stronger.

Gu Nan kept walking on the side and didn't speak, Guo Jia glanced at her, he actually didn't know Gu Nan's thoughts, she always looked like she was waiting for something during this time.

"Mr. Gu, how do you think you can win this battle?"

Gu Nan was originally looking at the trees in the distance, her eyesight was very good, even at night, she could see the branches and leaves in the distance being blown by the wind like waves.

Hearing Guo Jia ask her, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Guo Jia.

"The turnaround should be coming soon."

"Oh?" A look of surprise flashed in Guo Jia's eyes.

Xun You also became serious and asked solemnly.

"Then Mr. Gu, what is the turning point?"

Gu Nan realized that she seemed to talk too much, she naturally knew the victory or defeat of the Battle of Guandu, and also knew that Cao Cao burned the grain and grass of the Yuan army, but none of this had happened at this time.

But since she said it all, she couldn't take her words back, so she could only continue.

"It's about the grain and the grass."

"Grain and grass?" Guo Jia thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

With the three states under Yuan Shao, Yuan Jun's grain and grass will not be in short supply. In addition, now Cao Jun does not know the location of Yuan Shao's grain route and grain storage, and how he came to the turnaround.

"Mr. Gu, why do you think that grain and grass will be a turning point?"

Looking at the two of them desperately wanting to know, Gu Nan sighed, she couldn't tell them the truth, so she casually made an excuse and pointed to the sky.

"Watch the sky at night."

As for believing it or not, she didn't expect them to believe it.

Guo Jia and Xun You were all stunned.

Then Guo Jia smiled and shook his head.

And Xun You really looked at the sky, he was serious, and he really believed it.

Guo Jia saw him like this, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Gong Damo saw it, and the gentleman was just joking."

Xun You also reacted, his old face turned red, and he lowered his head.

"I know it."

"Hahaha." Guo Jia laughed out loud, still a little relieved in his heart, who let Xun You still make fun of him with his weak legs.

Now he also has a joke, and he can go back and talk to Xun Wenruo.

Because of these few jokes, the three of them are not as preoccupied as they were at the beginning.

It is rare that there is no shouting and killing in this formation, and it should be more relaxed.

When they reached a high place, the three of them stopped and looked into the distance. The upper part is the vast galaxy, and the lower part is the endless mountains and forests, which makes people sigh that the mountains and rivers are not magnificent.

A cool breeze entered his arms, and Xun You saw Guo Jia covering his mouth and coughing.

Silently took off his coat and draped it on his body.

"It's also autumn, Fengxiao, you should also put on more clothes."

Putting on the clothes on his shoulders, Guo Jia glanced at Xun You gratefully.

"Thank you."

Because he heard the movement beside him, Gu Nan turned his head to look at the two of them, and suddenly thought of something, and his face was strange.

"Mr. Gu, what's wrong?" Guo Jia saw Gu Nan's face and asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Gu Nan looked to the side in embarrassment, moved his shoulders uncomfortably, and thought secretly.

This atmosphere is a little strange.
