The sky was getting darker, the battlefield was in shambles, and the soldiers were only taking care of it a little. A large number of corpses were gathered together and ready to be buried, Yuan Shao slapped his ass and ran away, he Cao Cao still had to clean up the battlefield, otherwise there would be something like a plague, and it would definitely be a big loss for him Cao Cao. This place is not far from Cao Ying, I am afraid that if there is a plague, Yuan Shao will win without a fight.

When they returned to the camp, the army was cheering. Today's victory killed a lot of war horses to eat, and the soldiers also had a good meal. The few drinks were all taken out, and even the soldiers were happy to drink even a little bit of wine. Even if the war horse is not delicious, it is still meat, and the soldiers are still interested.

Cao Cao nestled on the bed, holding a bamboo slip in his hand. It seems to be reading a book, but in fact it is thinking about a problem. Cao Ren pushed open the tent and walked in with a wine bowl: "Lord, in this battle, we killed more than 50,000 enemy soldiers and captured countless ordnance and baggage." Yuan Shao had already retreated to the Guandu camp and was tightly defended. Speaking of this, Cao Ren laughed out loud, and today's battle probably frightened Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao was not happy, only he understood that he had only achieved a temporary advantage. Yuan Shao's loss of these soldiers and horses is nothing at all, and the troops he lost really can't be replenished: "How many troops have we lost?" Cao Cao closed his eyes, secretly estimating in his heart how long his food could be used, and how long Xun Yu would have before he could deliver food.

Cao Ren's face stiffened, and he said slowly: "Our army has lost more than 10,000 casualties, more than 10,000 wounded soldiers, more war horses have been lost, and the chariots have basically been lost. "Yuan Shao is not so weak, even if it is only a rout, but it also makes Cao Cao lose a lot of resources.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and said, "It's really a big victory, even more than Liu Zhang's battle." The people outside are really crazy, but what if Yuan Shao attacks the camp at this time? Looking at Cao Ren's stiff face, Cao Cao said again: "Look at the drunk people outside, all of them still look like elite soldiers?" I finally understand now why Liu Zhang said that you can't drink alcohol in the army. Changing to the general in Liu Zhang's hands, even if he is defeated at this moment, he will inevitably come to attack the camp, because he knows that we will inevitably do so. Cao Cao suddenly felt that there were no generals around him who could pull out and take charge alone, which was why he had been cultivating Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others.

"Although the enemy army has not come, as the chief general of the army, you must think carefully. Why did Liu Zhang treat Zhang Ren like that before? That is to want to have an extra one-sided general. He now has Wu Yi, Xu Huang, and Wen Ping, these generals are still being trained, or that Li Ru is teaching Liu Zhang how to cultivate......" Cao Cao closed his eyes and thought about what Liu Zhang had done step by step, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt.

Cao Ren stiffened for a while and said, "The last general will go and strengthen the defense." Xun You, who came in later, looked at the two of them talking but stood on one side, and he didn't have anything to report, just came in and looked.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Just pay attention in the future, although we won a battle today, we are still at a disadvantage." The men and horses in Yuan Shao's hands are still several times that of us, if Yuan Shao can't hold out, all that will be left for us is a stalemate. If Yuan Shao is ashamed and brave, the outcome is still unpredictable. Also, we don't have much grain and grass, and Mr. Wenruo hasn't sent the next batch of grain yet. "This is what gives Cao Cao the most headache.

After Cao Ren listened, he thought for a long time before he said, "Lord, how about we not be as good as the class teacher?" ”

Xun You, who had not yet finished speaking, said: "The lord can't return to the court, if this is the case, it will be more difficult for us to compete with Yuan Shao next year, and we will be defeated by Yuan Shao in the end." "Xun You does not recommend withdrawing troops now, if so, I am afraid that there will be no current opportunity in the future.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time and said: "The drought in the past two years has also affected the harvest in Yanzhou, so Liu Zhang will not be short of food if he has potatoes, let Fengxian (Mao Jue) go to lie down with Liu Zhang, and be sure to exchange some food." "Guandu will take a long, long time, and Cao Cao still needs a lot of food.

Xun You said: "Liu Zhang loves money, and the lord gave Liu Zhang the merger, and he will inevitably get Liu Zhang's strong support." As long as the lord occupies places like Jizhou and Qingzhou, it only takes a year and food is no longer a problem. But Liu Zhang may not be able to stand firm, and the lord will start a war with Liu Zhang sooner or later, so why not arrange it in advance? "Liu Zhang really has food, it just depends on why they want to come.

Cao Cao sighed, he also understood his situation, it was up to him to do it. As for whether he can defeat Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is now muttering a little in his heart. However, Xun You's words do make sense, if you can't win Yuan Shao, you will no longer be Yuan Shao's opponent in the future.

This place is very close to Luoyang, and Mao Jue went towards Luoyang after receiving the news. After rushing all the way to Luoyang, the place was still dilapidated, but to his surprise, Liu Zhang was actually in Luoyang. Looking at Liu Zhang, who was sitting lazily on the high platform, Mao Jue's mood was very uncomfortable.

Although Yuan Shao is unbearable, and Liu Biao is old, he seems to have the smell of a master. But just this Liu Zhang's appearance, why does he always feel a little less interesting? What about such a lord? Not a little majestic, huh?

Liu Zhang always felt that this guy saw that something was wrong with him, and couldn't help asking, "What do you think a lord should be like?" Looking at the contempt in those eyes, don't they know how to hide it? Isn't it too scheming to express it so bluntly, or is it taking yourself for a fool?

Mao Jue saluted and said: "To be a master, you should be calm and polite, and Mount Tai collapses in front of you and does not change color, and you have the world in your heart but swallow the eight wildernesses." After speaking, he looked at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was a little uncomfortable to look at, so he put on a posture a little. Anyway, Liu Zhang didn't understand what he said, Mount Tai would not collapse at all, which Liu Zhang was sure of, even if it was thousands of years later. As for this angry swallowing of the Eight Desolations, Liu Zhang didn't understand what it meant, anyway, he didn't eat much in one meal, what kind of rare animal was the Eight Desolations?

"Tarzan? Sir can rest assured that it will not collapse in thousands of years, I can assure you. As for what the Eight Desolations are, can this thing be eaten? For this person who has never heard of it, Liu Zhang doesn't have the heart to speak, anyway, he is quite happy to ridicule a few words.

Mao Jue had just taken a sip of tea, but he couldn't drink it anyway. Looking at Liu Zhang, who was smiling opposite, Mao Jue didn't know why he was so angry. Finally suppressed his anger, this kind of person does not have the feeling of being a polite corporal at all towards literati, how can he achieve great things?

Cao Cao is really good to his scribes, and Cao Cao can bear it if You Heng and others humiliate him so much. Even if it was a scribe who treated the enemy, Cao Cao had enough respect. Can you look at Liu Zhang, where does he look like a master? But why are so many people willing to help him? In short, Mao Jue couldn't figure this out anyway......

"The general laughed, my lord and the general are relatives, and now my lord is begging for thieves, but he has no choice but to eat and grass. In the past, the general sold grain to my father-in-law, but now I don't know why he is not selling grain? Mao Jue felt that Liu Zhang was young and it was better to speak softly.

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said, "Isn't it a troubled time now? How can something as important as grain and grass be sold casually? Gold and silver cannot be fed, but food is a good thing. "Liu Zhang, are you stupid, look at Mao Jue's head with smoke. Of course Mao Jue knows this truth, and now he is so despised by Liu Zhang, he really can't bear it.

"I wonder if the general can sell some grain? After the deed is completed, my father-in-law will definitely thank him heavily. "Doesn't Liu Zhang like money, this hand should be good, right?

Liu Zhang scratched his hand and said helplessly: "What is the use of exchanging some gold for food that is so precious?" Yuan Shao occupied such a large place, and Ming Gong got all of them, and he didn't say anything. Sizhou is so big, why do you want to give me some sweetness? Liu Zhang didn't know what Cao Cao's bottom line was, but Liu Zhang knew that even without his own support, Cao Cao could survive this disaster.

Mao Jue's face stiffened, and he was ready to talk. Liu Zhang waved his hand when he saw him and said, "Forget it, if you are so insincere, then everyone has nothing to talk about." Luoyang is poor, so I won't invite Your Excellency to eat, and the Ming Gong war is urgent, so you should go back and have a look. "How can you do it without spending a little money?

Looking at Liu Zhang's impatient appearance, Mao Jue's heart collapsed again: "If the general is willing to send 300,000 loads of military food, my lord is willing to give up the annexation of the state to the general after taking Yuan Shao." Mao Jue finally said it.

Liu Zhang began to think about it, and it didn't matter if he gave it to himself or not. It is not so simple to occupy those places, not to mention that even if he does not aid Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will be defeated only sooner or later because of Xu You's rebellion. After this defeat, Yuan Shao's troops will not be many, and Yuan Shang, who lives in Jizhou, will become the person in charge.

But Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan still have grievances, and in front of the great enemy Cao Cao, there was still infighting. In the end, the two brothers both gave their lives, but this also delayed Cao Cao's occupation of the entire north. What's more, now because of an accident, Liu Bei appeared in Yuan Shao's territory with the three brothers Guan Zhang and Zhao, and with the assistance of Xu Shu, it seems that the current situation is a bit Liu Bei and Sun Quan to fight against Cao, which is unexpected by Liu Zhang.

After such an analysis, he should support Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao, and it is best to kill Yuan Shao. In this way, Yuan Shao's territory will be in chaos in advance because of Yuan Shao's death, but if Cao Cao catches Yuan Shao, will he really kill him? If he didn't kill him, then Yuan Shao's two sons would not be able to do anything. So it seems that I still need a little oil filling? 10
