In the northeast of Fengqiu, Cao Cao lost nearly 1,500 troops and horses in one night. Moreover, there were many wounded, and many soldiers were tired. Now Cao Cao has only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses around him who can fight.

After encountering Tao Ying, Cao Cao saw that these two soldiers and horses were the Tianwei Army and the Hell Demon Army that Tao Ying was good at fighting! I didn't suffer a lot in these two armies, and looking at the nouns of several people now, it seems that Lu Bu was before them, looking at Zhou Tai beside Tao Ying, it seems that Lu Bu is not the position of bodyguard, could it be that Lu Bu is the leader of these two armies?

Lu Bu commanded the most powerful cavalry, and the wolf cavalry under him was even more civilized in the world. Compared with these two troops, the Tianwei Army and the Hell Demon Army, which are equipped with steel swords and delicate armor, seem to be superior! Moreover, Cao Chun and Zhao Yun are even better than Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, and Song Xian! So if Tao Ying intercepts himself here, he has no chance of winning!

Both armies stopped their positions, and Cao Cao came out of the battle and shouted: "Where is Taozhou Mu going?" ”

Seeing Cao Cao, Tao Ying was also a little surprised, how could this goods come back! Wasn't the sneak attack on the Black Nest done at night? But since they met, they couldn't stand like this, so Tao Ying also returned immediately: "Come and help the prime minister!" ”

"Help me?"

Cao Cao had some concerns, Tao Ying nodded, so he said to Cao Cao: "I came to help Prime Minister Cao Cheng defeat Zhang He and Gao Ran this time, this battle will definitely defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, and then Prime Minister Cao Cheng can not be stingy with his official position!" ”

It seems that Tao Ying already knew that he had burned Yuan Shao's military rations, could it be that this person wanted to take the opportunity to share the results of the battle, and then go back to ask for an official? That's all I can say for now! Since it is a friend and not an enemy, it is good, so Cao Cao asked Tao Ying to repel Gao Ran and Zhang He first, and give him the queen himself!

The smart Cao Cao walked with Tao Ying not far away, afraid that Tao Ying would suddenly have some ghost idea and swallow himself. Anyway, he was not afraid that Cao Cao would dare to hit him behind his back, so Tao Ying went all the way to Guandu to kill.

Unknown Guandu, halfway to meet Gao Ran and Zhang He, saw a cavalry killing, and the team is so regular, tall horses and soldiers are wearing heavy armor and masks, one white and one black, as if black and white are impermanent, both of them are a little timid.

Seeing this, Gao Ran said to Zhang He: "There is someone blocking the road in front, if it is Prime Minister Cao's soldiers and horses, we will vote for Prime Minister Cao." If it is the main army, we will join them and attack Guandu again! ”

Zhang He nodded, but after thinking about it carefully, when did Yuan Shao have such a strangely dressed army? But they couldn't do it so much, so the two dismounted and greeted the people on the road.

Seeing a military horse in front of him from a distance, the spies came to report that Gao Ran and Zhang He, the two of the four court pillars in Hebei, led the army to block the way. Tao Ying asked how many soldiers and horses? The spies are back no less than 5,000 centaurs!

Five thousand men and horses, and two thousand cavalry behind him, will definitely be able to deal with it. So Tao Ying led a group of soldiers to kill in front of the two-person formation, and Zhang He rode to the front of the formation in the town and asked who was the military horse in front of him? Zhao Yun went into battle and returned to the soldiers and horses of Tao Ying, the general of the chariot cavalry!

Hearing that it was the general Tao Ying, Zhang He hurriedly shouted: "I am about to throw the general of the cavalry!" ”

So Zhang He hurriedly led Gao Ran to meet Tao Ying together, and after getting the two soldiers and horses, Tao Ying wanted to take the two back to Fengqiu. But Gao Ran said that it was better to kill back to Guandu, and then take away the soldiers and horses trapped inside!

So Tao Ying returned to Guandu with the two of them, and after Cao Cao heard that Tao Ying had arrived, Gao Ran and Zhang He really surrendered, and their hearts were overjoyed. Although the two did not surrender themselves, after all, they weakened Yuan Shao's strength! Therefore, in order to let Tao Ying not disturb himself and continue to attack Yuan Shao, Cao Cao asked people to put back nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses of the surrounding Gao Ran, let them return to the Gao Ran camp, and then sent someone to show Tao Ying as the general, and Tao Ying retreated.

Although Tao Ying's strength has grown again in this battle, the crisis in Cao Cao's north is about to be resolved. Cao Cao originally wanted Tao Ying to go north with him to attack Yuan Shao, but Guo Jia said that Tao Ying was not a good person, and he didn't know what the hell he had to do, if he attacked him from behind, he would definitely die a miserable death!

So you can only drive him away!

After Tao Ying returned to Fengqiu, he brought the two of them to see Wen Chou. Wen Chou was sitting alone in the courtyard at this time, no matter how Tao Ying surrendered to him, he refused to surrender. Seeing Gao Ran and Zhang He, Wen Chou suddenly became excited.

"I've seen General Wen!"

In Jizhou, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's official positions were much larger than those of the two, so the two hurriedly saluted him. Wen Chou hurriedly helped the two of them up and said, "Did the lord defeat Cao Cao and send you two to welcome me back to Jizhou?" ”

After Wen Chou finished speaking, both of them had sweat on their faces. Zhang He hurriedly returned beside him: "The lord is indecisive and listens to the words of the judge, so Xu You defected, and Cao Cao led the army to break through the black nest. The lord was suspicious of the two of us, so the two of us had no choice but to vote for the general. ”

After Zhang He finished speaking, Wen Chou pointed at Zhang He for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly. He has always opposed the recruitment of Liu Bei into the army, this guy is just a broom star, and he will be ruined wherever he goes, so Wen Chou has repeatedly persuaded Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao just doesn't stop, and he treats Liu Bei like a brother! Now it's good, Yan Liang was broken, Gao Ran and Zhang He were forced to vote for Xuzhou, and Chun Yuqiong died, who else in Hebei can resist Cao Cao?

Sure enough, in December, good news came from Guandu in the north. Cao Cao captured and killed Chun Yuqiong, Gao Ran and Zhang Hexi threw Tao Ying, and one news after another came, making Yuan Shaoqi ill.

The main general was seriously ill again, and the soldiers were panicked, and when Cao Cao led his army north, many surrendered for a while. Cao Cao was invincible and pursued him all the way to the edge of the Yellow River. When he arrived at the Yellow River and Hebei, seeing that the general trend had gone, Yuan Shao hurriedly fled to Hebei.

When he fled to Hebei, looking around, Yuan Shao only had his son Yuan Tan, that is, more than 800 cavalry led by him. Thinking back to a year ago, he led nearly 110,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are less than 800 people left, how painful it is!

After Yuan Shao returned to Hebei, he couldn't afford to be ill, because the defeat had been tormenting him, and after returning to Jizhou, Yuan Shao was the first to die in prison against his troops Tian Fengci, and since then the powerful Yuan Shao has gradually gone downhill.

After defeating Yuan Shao, Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Yuan Shao in the north, but Guo Jia and others thought that although Yuan Shao was defeated, his power still existed, and he could not go north. So Cao Cao had no choice but to clean up the battlefield, and then prepare to return to Yanzhou to appease the people.

By the time Cao Cao returned to Guandu, he had captured nearly 30,000 elite soldiers from Hebei. How to deal with these soldiers became a big problem. These soldiers are all elite soldiers selected by Yuan Shao from Hebei, and it would be a pity to kill them. But if you don't kill them, your own food and grass are not enough for your own soldiers, how can you feed them?

Moreover, these more than 30,000 people are not a small number, and he has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, so it will definitely be a disaster to take them away!
