Yan Liang was in a desperate situation, and even a decisive battle was an extravagant hope.

Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were more than ten miles away, although there was no siege, there was no hope.

Yan Liang and they only had a few days of food and grass, and they were still far away from the territory they controlled, so they couldn't escape at all.

The best thing to do is to fight a decisive battle.

But the enemy had strong heavy cavalry, they were demoralized, and if they were broken through the formation by heavy cavalry, the whole army would collapse.

Yan Liang just understands it too well, so he can't make a choice.

Three days later, Yan Liang didn't think of a better way, and it was time for the final choice.

For three days, morale continued to be low, and Yan Liang knew that if he continued, he would not need the enemy to attack, and he would collapse first.

"My lord, I can't continue to serve in the future, please take care." Yan Liang knelt on the ground and shouted.

At this time, although Yuan Shao did not hear Yan Liang's last shout, he was not happy at all.

The information had reached him.

This is shocking news.

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, I don't share the sky with you." Yuan Shao held back for a long time and scolded what a sentence.

In the past few days, he has gone through heaven and hell.

At the beginning, the good news was frequent, attacking Youbeiping and Liaoxi County, Yuan Shao was so excited.

Even let Yan Liang lead the army alone, because this war was not very difficult, and Yuan Shao had to use troops in other directions, so he only let Yan Liang go.

It was originally very smooth, and even Yuan Shao thought that in a few days, Zhang Yu's power would no longer exist.

But a few days after the invasion of Liaoxi, bad news came, and Zhang Yu appeared.

When Zhang Yu appeared, he quickly cut off his contact with Yan Liang's army.

Yuan Shao was very shocked at first, how did Zhang Yu come back alive from the grassland.

At this time, if he decisively sent troops, he still had a chance, but Yan Liang's army also had more than 250,000 troops, how could Zhang Yu eat such a huge army.

Of course, he couldn't eat it, so Yuan Shao just asked the soldiers and horses in Yuyang County to go to pick him up, as long as Yan Liang withdrew to Pinggu County, it would be fine.

Who knows, Zhang Yu's target is Pinggu County.

captured Pinggu County, Zhang Yu also suppressed the news for a few days.

A few days later, it was too late for Yuan Shao to get the news again, but at this time, if he could still send troops and horses, he could still rescue some of them.

Yuan Shao also counted on the soldiers and horses in Jixian County to rescue Yan Liang, no matter how bad it was, Yan Liang would kill all the way back and withdraw to Yuyang County to keep some of the soldiers and horses.

However, Zhang Yu had already lured out all the soldiers and horses of Yuyang County, and most of them were annihilated, so that what Yan Liang wanted to cross was not a right Beiping County, but also Yuyang County.

This problem came, and the sneak attacks along the road caused him huge losses, and he also lost a lot of grain and grass.

There is also the issue of morale, the pressure on the soldiers is simply too great.

"Lord, please send troops quickly, your subordinates are willing to rush to General Yan's aid." Wen Chou knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.

Yuan Shao shook his head, it was too difficult to rescue Yan Liang.

Jixian County was captured by Zhang Yu, there is intelligence, Zhang Yu has been reinforcing the fortifications there, Yuan Shao knows the defense of Jixian County, and it can't be defeated without ten days and half a month.

And to rescue Yan Liang, a lot of soldiers and horses need to be dispatched, most of the soldiers and horses at this time are stationed on the front line, it is not so easy to mobilize, most of the mobile soldiers and horses have been brought by Yan Liang to attack Liaodong, and other soldiers and horses cannot be moved lightly.

In this way, where does Yuan Shao have enough soldiers and horses.

To break through Jixian County and enter Yuyang County to save Yan Liang is not something that can be solved by 350,000 soldiers and horses.

Sending 350,000 soldiers and horses is no different from delivering food.

Yuan Shao didn't speak, Wen Chou was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

In the end, Yuan Shao scolded Zhang Yu.

Depressed is not only the enemy who fought with Zhang Yu, but also Cao Cao.

Cao Cao issued a holy decree announcing Zhang Yu's death.

Now that Zhang Yu has come back to life, he has killed all sides.

In this way, it appears that the decree is even less authoritative.

This is a blow to the authority of the Holy Decree, originally the Holy Decree still had a little effect, so the effect was suddenly weakened greatly, which was not a good thing for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao urgently convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, Cao Cao also took into account the situation that Zhang Yu did not die, but what he didn't expect was that this time Zhang Yu not only did not die, but also returned strongly, and the soldiers and horses did not lose much at all.

This situation was something that Cao Cao did not expect.

And they also got information that Zhang Yu had pitted the Huns and Xianbei, if this was spread out, with the help of people with intentions, Cao Cao deliberately wanted to kill the heroes.

This account will be counted on Cao Cao in the princes, but in the people, in the eyes of the people, it will be counted on the emperor Liu Xie, who still has a lot of influence among the people, so the influence will inevitably be affected.

That's what he doesn't want.

"Princess, Zhang Yu returned unscathed, he won't be able to weaken much strength after this battle, it won't take long to recover, and he will definitely be very passive to us at that time."

Zhang Yu's revenge psychology is so heavy, Cao Cao can be regarded as a teacher, this time Zhang Yu survived, but he will be retaliated by Zhang Yu, so he must prepare in advance.

Cheng Yu came out and said: "Lord, secretly negotiate with Zhang Yu, have some benefits, and reveal this matter." We have a common enemy, Yuan Shao, so there is no need to have a stiff relationship with Zhang Yu. ”

Xun You came out and said: "Lord, Zhang Yu can retaliate if he wants to, don't care, he has limited means, we can naturally counteract, we can cooperate with Zhang Yu, and we must not compromise." ”

Man Pang also came out and said: "Lord, communicate with Zhang Yu, interests first, although we offended him this time, but he is also an understanding person, the means of revenge are limited, don't pay attention to it, if there is a need in the future, he will continue to cooperate with us." ”

Several other strategists and generals expressed their opinions, and their opinions were mixed, and Cao Cao was also difficult to choose.

"This Zhang Yu really can't be looked at from a general perspective, this trip to the grassland is so dangerous, it's okay, what's even more surprising is that this time he didn't choose to attack the Huns, but attacked Yuan Shao, and directly put Yan Liang's more than 200,000 troops into a desperate situation, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape again."

Cao Cao continued: "Zhang Yu has established an advantage in one fell swoop, and I estimate that it will not be long before he will take control of Youzhou, and then we will form a north-south attack on Yuan Shao. There is a lot of room for cooperation in the future. ”

Everyone knew that it was reasonable when they heard Cao Cao, and thought that Cao Cao wanted to compromise with Zhang Yu.

In fact, the compromise is reasonable.

However, Cao Cao said: "In the future, if we want to cooperate, we must take the initiative and distribute more benefits, we must not be too weak, but the relationship cannot be too rigid, this compromise is necessary, but it cannot give Zhang Yu any substantial benefits." ”

Everyone nodded, Cao Cao was still far-sighted, and saw the future changes from this battle.
