"Lord, this Yuan Shao is beginning to prepare to retreat."

With such a big action, tens of thousands of horses were ready to retreat, and the movement was not small, it was not so easy to hide from others, and soon Ye Chen received the news.

"Finally willing to retreat, and when the time comes, I'll send them off." Ye Chen was very happy, his toss was not in vain.

"Keep an eye on Cao Cao's position."

Ye Chen knew Cao Cao's approximate location, he had already hidden, ambushed, and prepared to attack Yuan Shao.

But Ye Chen also knew that this Cao Cao would never give up, this was an opportunity for him.

At this time, Cao Cao was indeed hiding, and he was hiding very secretly, during the day, he was no longer in the army, and he was hiding in the dense forest.

"Lord, we have got the latest news, and a lot of news is too shocking." Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao after summarizing the information.

Cao Cao sat in the military tent, made some side dishes, and scalded a small pot of wine, although alcohol was forbidden in the army, Cao Cao was able to restrain himself and would not overdo it.

"Come, Zhongde, drink two glasses with me." Cao Cao didn't say anything right away, but asked Cheng Yu to sit down first.

Cheng Yu was also not polite and sat opposite Cao Cao.

"Zhongde, let's talk about it, what's the shocking news." Cao Cao took a bite of food, and then said.

"Liaodong not only deceived Yuan Shao this time, but also deceived us, or deceived everyone, lord, according to the latest information we have obtained, Ye Chen dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses, rushed thousands of miles to attack Shanggu County, attacked and killed Wen Chou in Shanggu County, and wiped out the 20,000 soldiers and horses brought by Wen Chou." Cheng Yu said as he tapped his fingers on the table.

"Gao Ming, it's too clever, it's better to cut off one of his fingers if he hurts his ten fingers, this Ye Chen understands very well that Yuan Shao is robbing Youzhou with him, he first concentrates his superior forces to annihilate one of them, and then slowly consumes it with Yuan Shao." Cao Cao couldn't help but admire after hearing this.

"Come, for Ye Chen's foresight, a toast." Cao Cao admired Ye Chen's strategy very much, poured a glass of wine, and toasted with Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu picked up the wine glass, drank a glass with Cao Cao, and then continued: "Lord, according to the news we got, this Liu Yu committed suicide by jumping off the city, if you want to say that Wen Chou forced him to die, it can also be said that Liu Yu said a lot of unfavorable things to Yuan Shao before he died, and then Wen Chou did order the slaughter of the city in order to keep it secret, but we can't find out the news about the Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Wei, because the incident happened in the temporary palace, and the news is easy to control." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "What the truth is, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that Yuan Shao has to memorize this black cauldron, and our documents have been sent, and this Ye Chen will thank us." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, the truth is really not important at this time, the important thing is to pour dirty water on the Yuan family, the dirtier the better.

"My lord, there is other news." Cheng Yu continued.

"Haha, this Ye Chen is really good, I found out that he was extraordinary when I was exterminating the Yellow Turban before, tell me quickly, what amazing moves he has done." Cao Cao was very interested in Ye Chen, and asked Cheng Yu to continue.

"Ye Chen blocked the news, this Yuan Shao not only didn't know about Wen Chou, but also didn't know that he carried so many big black pots, and then Ye Chen quietly went all the way south, intercepted and killed all the spies, and finally attacked the 10,000 troops led by Zang Hong, killing thousands of people, Zang Hong died in battle, and Ye Chen's soldiers were in danger of Yuan's army camp."

"Good, well done."

Cao Cao clapped his hands after hearing this and said: "Ye Chen's trick is really too clever, first he attacked thousands of miles, then attacked Zang Hong, and finally directly threatened Yuan Shao's camp, this Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to attack Jixian anymore, and now Yuan Shao's army is dragged there, either he will repel Ye Chen, or he will withdraw his troops, Yuan Shao can't afford it." After listening to Cheng Yu's report, Cao Cao immediately had a basic judgment of the situation.

Cheng Yu nodded, and then said: "This information is all about what happened recently, but our intelligence can't be very timely, there is a lag of one or two days, and now Ye Chen and Yuan Shao have directly confronted each other, and the situation may change at any time." ”

"No matter what changes they make now, as long as we can achieve our goal, if they want to fight, let them fight, if Yuan Shao's strength is preserved, we will retreat immediately as if nothing happened, and if there is a chance, we will attack Yuan Shao fiercely."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cheng Yu nodded, and then thought quietly.

The two of them drank and pecked, both thinking about the current situation.

"Lord, after thinking about it carefully, after some calculations, if this Yuan Shao retreats, it is estimated that only about half of the 100,000 soldiers and horses will remain, and the morale must be extremely low, we can immediately make a deployment for a sneak attack, and wait until the accurate information comes, the camera will shoot, and annihilate Yuan Shao's troops, so that we can Yanzhou at least one year without worry."

Cao Cao nodded, and then began to think about it.

Now he needs time, so he will send troops, Ye Chen, Yuan Shao and he Cao Cao are like three countries, annexing each other, and they have to contain and cooperate with each other.

"Okay, in the past two days, we have been out day and night, and we have found a good place to ambush." Cao Cao immediately made a decision.

When Cao Cao planned to ambush Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao had already begun to prepare for retreat.

"Lord, this Cao Cao's army suddenly disappeared, and we have to guard against it." As he prepared to retreat, he advised.

"Well, that's right, it is true that you have to defend, and I ordered you to bring five thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard to open the way for my army." Yuan Shao immediately followed the frustrated words and said.

Frustrated with a wry smile in his heart, after listening to Yuan Shao's words, he knew that this was taking revenge on him, or sending him away, so as not to get in the way.

Yuan Shao really didn't want to see him, but in order to show his reputation for loving talents, he had to keep him by his side.

This time, Yuan Shao seized the opportunity and sent the frustration away, without damaging his reputation.

Fu Zhi knew Yuan Shao's thoughts very well, so he had no choice but to get five thousand soldiers and horses, and he was ready to leave.

Yuan Shao then made a series of arrangements and prepared to start retreating.

"Lord, Yuan Shao has begun to retreat, and the forwards have been sent out, should we prepare for action." Guan Yu asked.

"Of course, we have to prepare, but we are not preparing to attack Yuan Shao, but we are preparing to receive Youzhou, and the entire Youzhou must be in our hands." Ye Chen looked at the direction of Jixian County, feeling a little excited.

He had grown from a rundown merchant family, to a county, to several counties, and now to the power of a state.

A state, with a vast territory, can mobilize all kinds of resources, and then Ye Chen will have a more solid foundation for hegemony.

"If our messenger can find Cao Cao, he should have almost arrived at Cao Cao by now, and I hope Cao Cao can beat Yuan Shao." Ye Chen sighed in his heart, now the three of them are more like a small three kingdoms.

Yuan Shao, Ye Chen, Cao Cao, this Yuan Shao is the most powerful, when necessary, he must unite with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, and when Yuan Shao retreats, Ye Chen will demolish the bridge, if Yuan Shao attacks Ye Chen with all his might, Cao Cao will only help at critical times, and he will also watch the play on the side when the rest of the time.
