Zhao Yun's departure can be regarded as falling into Jiang Qi's hands, and he was really relieved at this time when he was still preparing to fight. Immediately asked the soldiers around him to collect the bodies of the three deputy generals, Jiang Qi took the soldiers and horses around him to protect Yuan Shao, until he retreated to the camp, which can be regarded as completely letting go of the hanging heart.

As for Zhao Yun, who was originally bent on taking down Yuan Shao, when he saw Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses, he already had the intention of retreating. Speaking of which, he first rushed to rescue Xizhai this night, and then killed straight back from Xizhai, Yuan's army was even more rushing left and right in the array, and now there are only 3,000 of the 10,000 cavalry left, and he himself is tired and exhausted. Originally, Yuan Shao was defeated in a hurry, and Zhao Yun still had the heart to chase after him, but as soon as Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses arrived, Zhao Yun knew in his heart that neither he nor the remaining 3,000 cavalry behind him had the strength to fight again. A rash attack can only cost his life in vain, so after Zhao Yungun picked up the three generals who came up, he immediately ordered the whole army to return to the camp.

At this time, the battle had basically come to an end, and the corpses were all over the battlefield, Yuan Jun's, Cao Jun's, layer upon layer. With the retreat of Yuan's army, the victorious Cao army has begun the finishing work on the battlefield, and now, only Wen Chou is still in the battle with Dian Wei on the entire battlefield. Wen Chou's attack like a raging storm made Cao Cao, who was watching the battle not far away, frown, for fear that Dian Wei would be defeated and give his life. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Xu Chu behind him and said, "Zhongkang, it's better to help evil." ”

Xu Chu on weekdays, he will definitely do whatever Cao Cao says. But this time, he shook his head in a rare way and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Wen Chou is now just relying on a moment of blood and courage, which has suppressed General Dian." After a while, Wen Chou will inevitably be cowardly, and I will not go to the evil ...... General Dian snatched the credit. As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, he saw that on the battlefield, Wen Chou stabbed out with a shot, but Dian Wei did not resist, but flashed sideways to let go of the shot. That Wen Chou stumbled slightly. Dian Wei saw that the timing was a halberd split, and it was also a loss that Wen Chou's martial arts were quite high, and he withdrew the iron spear between the lightning and flint, and he carried Dian Wei's halberd hard.

This move seemed to be evenly matched, but Xu Chu, who was outside the court, smiled and said: "Wen Chou's strength is exhausted, and he can't hold his gun anymore." General Dian has the chance to win, lord, let's go back to the camp. ”

Cao Cao didn't answer when he heard this, he just nodded, but his body didn't move. Speaking of which, although he is also proficient in martial arts, compared with Xu Chu and Dian Wei, he is much worse. Wen Chou stumbled slightly, and adjusted very quickly, if it weren't for a master like Xu Chu, it would be difficult to see it, so Cao Cao was still skeptical at the moment. It wasn't until another five or six rounds passed that I saw Dian Wei take the wind with his moves, and he was fierce, but Wen Chou was defending more and attacking less at the moment, trying his best to parry, Cao Cao raised his brows and smiled lightly: "As Zhong Kang said." ”

As soon as the words fell, a loud bang was heard, followed by a scream. Although Cao Cao was emotional, his eyes never left the two people fighting on the field. When I saw the two horses pedaling wrongly, Na Dian Wei suddenly kicked his legs, and stood upright with his feet in the stirrups. The halberd in his left hand smashed the big gun raised by Wen Chou, Wen Chou was shocked at that time, who knew that Dian Wei's halberd crossed over, his body twisted, and his right hand rounded the halberd, and it slashed straight at the gun body that had just been chopped. Dian Wei was already powerful, the speed of the war horse, coupled with his condescending standing upright on the horse, after twisting his waist, he gathered all the strength of his body on the iron halberd in his right hand. Although Wen Chou's iron spear is the body of an iron spear, it really can't withstand this huge force, and it was actually split into two pieces by Dian Wei's halberd. Wen Chou was caught off guard, and was immediately cut into two pieces by this halberd.

said a lot, but it happened in an instant, until Wen Chou's body fell off the horse, Cao Cao reacted, and immediately laughed: "Okay, good!" It is worthy of the evil of the ancients, and it is really brave! Even Xu Chu behind him swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and praised: "Good eyesight, good kung fu, good strength!" I'm not as good as him. "There's no way, after all, Dian Wei's split is too shocking, and everyone knows how difficult it is to split the body of the iron gun. But now he was cut off by Dian Wei's halberd, and the truth of this Xu Chu knew when he thought about it, it was nothing more than when Fang had just fought, almost every halberd of Dian Wei was smashed in the same place, and then there was a final blow. But Wen Chou Fang attacked almost like a storm, Dian Wei can still have such accuracy in such a situation, how can Xu Chu not admire?

Wen Chou's death can be said to have drawn a successful end to this war. For a while, there was no shouting on the battlefield. Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry was ordered to pursue Shili, and now they are also on the way back, Han Hao and Shi Jian are stepping up rectification in the camp and recasting the camp to prevent the next surprise attack of the Yuan army. When Cao Cao returned to the camp with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and the two escort armies of Huben and Huwei, Zhao Yun also walked into the camp with the only remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses. I saw that in the past, Zhao Yun, who was on a white horse and a silver spear, and the jade tree was in the wind, not only his battle robe had been dyed red with blood, but even his face and helmet were blood-red, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Seeing that Cao Cao was here, Zhao Yun couldn't care about being tired, so he hurriedly hit his horse, came not far in front of Cao Cao, and then turned over and dismounted. It's just that Zhao Yun has been fighting for so long, and he can still support it with his courage in blood, but now that the war is over, and under the relaxation of body and mind, Zhao Yun, who turned over and dismounted, just landed on his feet, and his legs were weak. Fortunately, he was still holding the saddle with his right hand, so he didn't fall to the ground. Cao Cao originally saw Zhao Yun's return, and his heart was also full of joy. To be honest, Zhao Yun can be said to have contributed to the fact that this battle was able to be won and lost so early. Seeing that Zhao Yun stumbled when he got off the horse, Cao Cao took two steps and helped Zhao Yun with one hand. Ignoring the thick blood stains on Zhao Yun's white robe, he patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and laughed: "In today's battle, Zilong, you are indispensable, indispensable!" Ha ha! Speaking of this, seeing that Zhao Yunqiang was fighting spirits, his body was still a little shaky, and then he said with a straight face: "Go and rest quickly, come here, and send General Zhao back to the camp to rest......

A big battle in Guandu can be described as extremely tragic for both sides, but fortunately, Cao's army won and still held the key point of Guandu. Gao Ye, who was far away in Beiqiu, withdrew from the county seat at this time and retreated eastward towards Juxian County. Yuan Xi and Zhang He, who learned about this early in the morning, all looked at each other.

After all, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have been in confrontation for a long time, and Beiqiu's high night and Yuan Xi and Zhang He under the city have also clashed frequently these days. Beiqiu was not a fortified city, and the soldiers and horses in Zhang He's hands were nearly twice as large as Gao Ye, and Gao Ye had been stationed in Beiqiu since Ganling burned out the vanguard of Yuan's army, showing weakness to the enemy. Because of these reasons, Yuan Xi, who was bent on making contributions to make up for the loss of the plains, gradually lost his patience. Zhang He originally wanted to surround but not fight, just trap Gao Ye, but Yuan Xi relied on his identity as the second son, and after enduring it for more than half a month, he still forced Zhang He to attack the city. Although Zhang He was reluctant in his heart, firstly, Yuan Xi's identity was transcendent, and secondly, Zhang He also felt that it was really necessary to test the reality of Gao Ye, so he began to attack the city.

For half a month, Yuan Xi would send troops to attack the city almost every day, although the Yuan army had a lot more soldiers and horses than Gao Ye, but in line with the concept of ten sieges, the Yuan army has not surrounded the shell hills, just a strong siege. Although there are also Xin Bi's plans, the sound of the east and the west, but Gao Ye's subordinates Xu Huang, Yu Ban, and Zhang Liao are all there, and the defense of the city on all sides is as stable as Mount Tai, how can it be cracked by just one sound of the east and the west.

Beiqiu City is under the garrison of 50,000 horses in the night, Yuan Xi really has nothing to do with him, every day Yuan Jun is discussing how to attack the city in the big tent, but every day there is no result. Now Gao Ye actually withdrew inexplicably, which made everyone not think carefully about what kind of conspiracy Gao Ye was playing. Zhang He sent scouts to find out where the soldiers and horses of the high night had gone, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to carefully check the city. After all, where are the lessons of Wang Mo and He Mao, Zhang He can't be careless. For two days in a row, Zhang He and Gao Ran's inspection of the shell mound was almost three feet into the ground, but still no abnormalities were found, which allowed Yuan Xi and Xin Bi to enter the city with a large army to rest. It's just that Gao Ye, who was guarding the city and was as steady as Mount Tai, suddenly decided to lead the army to evacuate to the east, but they couldn't figure it out.

They were bent on feeling that it would be difficult for their side to attack the city, but where did they think that the high night in the city was guarding the city with soldiers and horses, and life was not much better. Although the casualties of the besieging side will be heavier, the city of Shellchu is not large, and the equipment to defend the city is not sufficient. If it weren't for the 500,000 arrows carried by Gao Ye's soldiers and horses, they might have been taken by Yuan's army several times. However, in the battle of half a month, Gao Ye's men lost nearly 3,000 people, although the casualties of the Yuan army were more than three times this number, but for Gao Ye, who was already not a lot of soldiers and horses, as long as there was one less person, there would be less combat power.

However, what really made Gao Ye feel that it was not the casualties that made Gao Ye feel that the troops were withdrawn, in Xu Huang's words, "how can there be a war without dying". Gao Ye has lived for so many years in this era of war and turmoil, and human life is like grass, and his understanding of this sentence is not profound. In many cases, for the sake of a complete victory and smaller casualties, it seems understandable to send troops to block, feint, and deceive the defeat from the overall point of view, but from an individual point of view, what is the difference between asking them to die? If a person is an outcast in the political situation, he will die willingly. It's just that the outcasts on this battlefield, they don't even have the qualifications to know that they are outcasts. It's just that he was sacrificed by the Lord with the good desire to obtain military exploits and seal his wife and son. Gao Ye, who first went to the battlefield, was quite unhappy about this, but after so many years of fighting, Gao Ye, who was already like a stone, would care so much for the sake of victory?

Because of this, if it is said that Gao Ye retired because of casualties, I am afraid that no one will believe it. Zhang He and the others couldn't figure out what they were thinking, it was not a secret in Cao Ying's camp at all, and Gao Ye smiled when he gave the order: "Retreat, this retreat is for the next bigger battle." The person who told General Ben to wait is already in place. ”
