After capturing Yuan Shao, Chen Zhi thought of Yuan Tan again.

He asked Qingyang: "Miss Qingyang, I don't know if you have met Yuan Tan?" ”

"See!" Qingyang replied with a red face: "He brought a few people by, and we appeared in an ambush and were run away by him." ”

"Why is the girl's face so red?" Tilting his head and looking at the light Yang, Chen Zhi smiled: "I haven't mentioned that matter to Childe yet, although Childe will agree nine times out of ten, but before he agrees, the matter between me and the girl has not yet been raised." ”

"General, don't talk nonsense." Qingyang blushed and said, "Doesn't the general want to know where Yuan Tan went?" ”

"I was about to ask." Chen Zhi smiled even more cheaply: "But when I think of the private matter with the girl, I can't help but divert the topic." ”

I have long heard that Chen is a hero, but he didn't expect that he was also very good at flirting with women.

It seems that after following Cao Shuo for a long time, no matter how serious a person is, he will become like Chen Zhi.

sighed softly and said softly: "Yuan Tan went to the plains, and we couldn't catch up. ”

"What is the girl's sigh for?" Chen Zhi grinned and asked, "Do you think that you can't marry into my family immediately, and you feel a little sentimental in your heart?" ”

"The general is not serious." Qingyang blushed and said, "We still have important matters, so let's leave first." ”

said goodbye, turned around and left.

Several Fire Dancers followed closely behind her.

Looking at her departing back, Chen Zhi always had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Go back and see Childe." Turning the war horse, Chen Zhi gave an order to the dragon pattern cavalry soldiers.

The dragon pattern rider didn't treat Yuan Shao like Fire Dance.

They specially prepared a horse for Yuan Shao.

Chen Zhi accompanied Yuan Shao, deputy commander Deng Zhan rode in front with more than a dozen dragon patterns to open the way, and the others surrounded Yuan Shao in the middle.

After the Battle of Cangting, Cao Shuo led the army to advance slowly.

Although the march of the army was slow, every time he arrived, the surrender speed of the city that was originally subordinate to Yuan Tan was not slow.

Many cities didn't even resist, so they directly opened the city gates to welcome Cao Shuo into the city.

After capturing six or seven cities one after another, almost all of the eastern part of Qingzhou fell into the hands of Cao Shuo.

Beihai City.

Cao Shuo, who had just entered the city, rode his horse at the front of the line, and Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and the generals gathered around him.

I don't know if the city officials had made arrangements in advance or the people spontaneously, and the people on both sides of the road were full of people who came to greet them.

The eyes of the people were full of enthusiasm and expectation, as if they had been looking forward to Cao Shuo's arrival here.

"The prestige of the son has reached as far as Qingzhou." Looking at the people on the side of the road, Tian Feng said: "Before entering the city, the people came to greet him, and it is impossible for anyone to do this." ”

"Maybe it was arranged in advance by the North Sea officials." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "How can the people not be afraid of officials?" What did the magistrate say, did they dare to come? ”

"What Childe said is not unreasonable." Tian Feng said: "It's just that Gongzi has never thought that if the people are coerced by the magistrates, they must all be pale and full of fear for Gongzi." But Gongzi looks at the people of Beihai, which one of them is not happy? ”

In fact, Cao Shuo had long found that the people had unconcealable joy on their faces, but it was just difficult to say it in front of everyone.

"The people must know about Gongzi's achievements in Xuzhou, so they came spontaneously." Fu Zhu said: "Xuzhou was a place of several wars, but now it is rich in people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even in the battle of Cangting, the Yuan family originally planned to use Qingzhou to enter the boundary of Xuzhou. In the end, the war was only controlled in Qingzhou. Even if the people don't understand too many big things, they can see that as long as they are under the rule of Gongzi, they can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will never worry about being displaced and being bullied again. ”

"When the people are safe, the country is strong, and when the country is strong, the people are safe." Cao Shuo said: "The two complement each other and are indispensable. ”

"That's what Childe said." The crowd responded.

was walking towards the Beihai Mansion, and a fast horse came up from behind.

When he reached Cao Shuo's side, the knight on horseback shouted: "Qi Yu Gongzi, General Chen has captured Yuan Shao, and Yuan Tan has returned to the plains to gather the old troops, intending to resist the westward advance of our army." Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang retreated to Yecheng. The Yuan family no longer has any soldiers and horses, and they have all been disabled! Feng Ji tried to stop General Chen, but was beheaded by General Chen. ”

Cao Shuo waved his hand and motioned for the knight to stand down.

"I'm afraid there are still a lot of vicious battles to fight in the future." Glancing at the generals and staff on the side, Cao Shuo said: "Our army's new combat equipment has been put into use, and the Yuan family will definitely study how to deal with it." I'm afraid the battle in the back will not be so easy to fight. But Feng Ji's performance was really unexpected, I didn't expect him to dare to stop Shu Zhi. ”

"We were colleagues with Feng Ji, so we know him a little bit." Tian Feng said: "This person is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. But he has a benefit, he is loyal to the Yuan family. Blocking General Chen should be to create an opportunity for Yuan Gong to escape. ”

"In that case, he is also a generous man." Cao Shuo sighed: "Hebei has developed and grown because my father-in-law has gathered many courageous, strategic, and brave talents. It's a pity that in the first battle of Guandu, the Yuan family lost almost all the fundamentals. The once powerful family is now only an empty shell. ”

"That's what Childe said." "Actually, every time I think of this, I can't help but sigh. At the beginning, I also refused to serve Cao Gong, if it wasn't for Gongzi's intervention, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost under Cao Gong's knife......"

"The capture of my father-in-law is a great thing for me." Cao Shuo said: "If you can bring him back to Shouchun to recuperate, at least you won't lose your morality." ”

"Our army has occupied the plain, what is Childe's plan?" Tian Feng asked, "Do you want to move on, or do you want to stop here?" ”

"According to Gong Fu and Gong Tian, what should I do?" Cao Shuo asked.

"After days of marching, the soldiers are exhausted." Tian Feng said: "When Yuan Tan returns to the plains, he will definitely force all places to be on guard. Xu Yuan directly supervised the grain and grass, and now there are fewer and fewer grains that can be transported to the front, and the days are dragging on longer and longer. In my opinion, it is better to postpone the march and give the Yuan family a chance to breathe. ”

"Give them a chance, what if they come back?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's impossible for the Yuan family to have a chance to make a comeback." Tian Feng said: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have always been discordant, foreign enemies invade, the brothers will abandon their previous suspicions to defend against the enemy, but once they are stable, they will want to monopolize the power of Hebei." Brothers fight for peace forever, but Gongzi is constantly developing all over the country, another year, the Qingzhou occupied by Gongzi will also be full, and then send troops in one fell swoop, isn't it much stronger than now forcibly advancing ahead? ”

Pinching his chin, Cao Shuo thought about it and didn't respond immediately.
