"Withdraw! Immediately withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass and return to our original pass to defend it! ”

Cao Cao knew that now, what he had to think about was no longer to launch an attack on the New Han Dynasty, let alone to destroy the New Han Dynasty. Facing the army of the New Han Army like a sea of New Han soldiers, it would be good if he could keep himself from being destroyed by the New Han Army with crazy revenge. Therefore, Cao Cao is indeed afraid in his heart now, and he doesn't dare to say anything about killing anyone.

Strength is based on strong strength, Cao Cao lost 400,000 elite troops in a row, at this moment, he no longer dares to regard himself as one of the best heroes in the world.

Now, Cao Cao is worried from afar and has to pick up his tail to be a man.

With the order, Cao's army retreated like a tide to the south of Tiger Pass.

To the south of the Tiger Pass, not far from the Tiger Pass, is the defense line that Cao Cao had arranged before, and his military horses, after withdrawing, will immediately be stationed in those passes, so that there is no need to worry about being chased and attacked by the New Han Army. Because for the time being, there is no New Han army to kill in the direction of Xingyang Pass, and it has not been able to break through the Tiger Pass for the time being.

However, Cao Cao was lucky. Soon after he ordered the army to withdraw from the Tiger Pass, the north wall of the Tiger Pass was blasted open by the trebuchet of the New Han Army, and the New Han Army entered the Tiger Pass along the gap. In addition, Wei Yan led an army of Wancheng to exit from Xingyang Pass, wanting to draw Cao Cao's back road and block Cao Cao at Tiger Pass, but unfortunately, Cao Cao was evacuated one step earlier.

In this way, the army of the New Han Dynasty recaptured the Tiger Pass. Although the Tiger Prison has been full of sky. However, it will not affect the Xinhan army to continue to garrison this pass.

In this way, Xun Yu's heart stone was also put down. This time. The New Han Dynasty took the initiative to abandon the Tiger Prison Pass and introduced Cao Cao's military horses to strike a blow. If the soldiers and horses from all walks of life can't be transferred so quickly for a while, then I'm afraid that Cao Cao will really lead the army to Luoyang City, and he won't be able to keep the enemy out of the country. In that case, at least, the New Han Dynasty would definitely suffer from the relatively strict destruction of Cao's army.

Such an ending is what Xun Yu hopes to see the most. Though. failed to eliminate Cao Cao's more than 300,000 elite troops at one time, but now he can destroy more than 200,000 of his horses. It can be regarded as achieving his goal of plotting with Liu Yi. Cao Cao has now lost more than 200,000 elite divisions, and I am afraid that for a long time in the future, the New Han Dynasty will no longer have to worry about Cao Cao daring to attack the New Han Dynasty. When the time comes. The New Han Army could also calmly use troops against Cao Cao.

Xun Yu immediately ordered. The New Han Army strengthened the Tiger Prison Pass and once again turned the New Han Dynasty into an unbreakable territory. At the same time, he ordered the New Han Army not to pursue the Cao Army for the time being, and ordered a group of generals to immediately set off to find Liu Yi. This, the purpose of the plan has been achieved, and Liu Yi no longer has to pretend to be dead. You can return to Luoyang. At the same time, Xun Yu also had to send people to hurry up. The purpose of this plan is to make a notice to all the New Han Army, and the generals of all walks of life should not worry about Liu Yi, let alone the New Han Dynasty.

This, the most important thing is that Xun Yu is worried that the various military horses of the New Han Army, which he had not notified before, would affect their mood and calm because of Liu Yi's accident.

Liu Yizhong pretended to be dead to lure Cao Jun to attack the New Han Dynasty, and Xun Yu did not notify the various military horses of the New Han Army in advance. Now, when the overall situation is decided, he can seize the time and inform the various military horses of the New Han Army.

Of course, now that Liu Yi is alive or dead, Xun Yu's heart is naturally a little worried. Therefore, he immediately sent a group of generals to find Liu Yi, hoping that Liu Yi could be found soon, so that he could truly calm the hearts of all the generals of the New Han Dynasty.

In fact, the current New Han Army is indeed in a bit of a violent state.

This is mainly because Liu Yi and Xun Yu have done too well in keeping secrets.

There was no wind beforehand, and the news that Liu Yizhongfu was beaten down the Yellow River spread and soon spread all over the world.

You must know that Liu Yike is a well-known figure known to everyone in the world. Who doesn't pay attention to Lew's situation? As a man of the hour, many times, even if Liu Yi is a new wife and concubine, it will spread throughout the Han world in a very short period of time.

Those peddlers and pawns, as long as there is something about Liu Yi, they will pay great attention to it, no matter how big or small, everyone talks about it, every time they go to a place, the most talked about thing is about Liu Yi. Often, when there is news, they are the first to spread the news. This time, it was Cao Cao who deliberately hyped up that Liu Yi was ambushed by them, suffered a heavy blow, fell into the Yellow River, and the news of his life and death was unknown.

Other places, a little further away, will not be mentioned.

In the north-central part of Jizhou, the New Han Army of Yuan Shao's Third Route is being attacked, and it is in a state of grief and anger at this moment.

The news of Liu Yi's murder first reached the ears of Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Gongsun Zhan, as well as the ears of his subordinate generals.

As soon as the news arrived, among them, they didn't know for a moment how many soldiers of the New Han Army shed tears of tragedy. There are people who cry and cry, I can't believe that there are things, and there are inexplicable grief and indignation.

Anyway, the news of Liu Yi's murder was too sudden. made all the soldiers of the New Han Army a little difficult to accept for a while.

At that time, especially Gongsun Zhan, he almost ordered the whole army to send troops to attack Yuan Shao at any cost. Fortunately, Xi Zhicai rushed to Gongsun Zhan's camp as soon as possible and stopped Gongsun Zhan.

On the contrary, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also kept calm and did not mess up because of such a news.

The most important thing, whether it is Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, when they heard the news, they immediately felt that it was unlikely. In their minds, they never thought that Liu Yi would be ambushed to death by the enemy.

When it comes to ambush warfare, Leo Yi is the best at fighting. He himself, again and again, demanded that all the generals of the New Han Army should first consider in the process of marching and fighting. It is to avoid the possibility of being ambushed by enemy troops. It is better not to go to battle than to let your military horses suffer from the ambush of the enemy army and not understand the condition of the enemy army. Then it is better to be in a static state, patiently investigate the situation of the enemy army, and then send troops to attack it. These are the things that Liu Yi has reiterated many times, how can he, Liu Yi, be light?

This is one reason.

In addition, there are: They are very clear about Liu Yi's skills, ordinary people, want to kill Liu Yi. It's really not easy, just ask, who is still Liu Yi's opponent in this world?

Well, even if there are countless first-class masters besieging Liu Yi. But Leo Yi was around. There will always be a dozen or twenty first-class masters secretly protecting them. Even if he was besieged by countless first-class masters, with the escort of Na Shi A and other first-class masters, could Liu Yi still break out of the encirclement? For this, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici both didn't believe it.

Moreover, there is the news that Liu Yi was attacked and fell into the Yellow River, but his life and death are unknown, not that Liu Yi was attacked and killed. Well, they all know. Liu Yi's water nature is Gan Ning and other naval generals. None of them are as good as that. Liu Yi fell into the Yellow River, which is equivalent to a dragon entering the deep sea, who can kill Liu Yi?

Therefore, in addition to hearing the news that Liu Yi was attacked and fell into the Yellow River and his life and death were unknown, they were a little sad and angry, and then they felt that this news was false, even if it was not false, it was unlikely that Liu Yi would be killed like this.

Therefore, they all vaguely felt that Liu Yi was not dead.

Since he is not dead, he must quickly appease the feelings of the sergeants and stop the impulses of some generals.

As a result, Gongsun Zhan was persuaded by Xi Zhicai, and did not ignore the desire to attack Yuan Shao, nor did he ignore the desire to avenge Liu Yi.

However, Xi Zhicai consulted with Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Gongsun Zan and other generals, although they thought that Liu Yi would be fine, but now the sergeant is in grief and indignation, and everyone is clamoring to avenge Liu Yi. At this time, it happened that the morale of the army was available, and the characteristics of the soldiers of the New Han Army who turned grief and anger into strength could be used to create a situation in which the New Han Army had gone crazy, and broke through Yuan Shao's defense line in one fell swoop, killed Yecheng, and destroyed Yuan Shao.

In this way, the plan of action of the New Han Army of the Three Routes has changed.

First of all, they mobilized the people and put on a posture of eagerness to destroy Yuan Shao and avenge Liu Yi. Put on a posture of ignoring one and no one qiē, and breaking through Yuan Shao's defense line at any cost.

The army of the New Han Army seems to no longer pay attention to the small amount of Yuan troops who ambushed the New Han Army along the road and dragged the advance of the New Han Army along the road.

Under the order of several generals, the three armies went out together and directly advanced all the way to the cities of Guangping and Yangping.

Originally, the New Han Army was a little worried that the small number of military horses of the Yuan Army would go deep into the sphere of influence taken away by the New Han Army and cause chaos, so they would not be in a hurry to launch a fierce attack on Yuan Shao, slowly purge those Yuan Shao's rogue troops all the way, and slowly advance to the cities that the New Han Army wanted to attack.

Now, the New Han army suddenly stopped paying attention to the attacks of their Yuan army. This just made Yuan Shao's plan to delay the pace of the New Han Army's offensive completely failed.

On the contrary, now the New Han Army no longer pays attention to Yuan Shao's rogue army, and seems to let them enter the northern area of Jizhou, which has been controlled by the New Han Army, but Yuan Jun does not dare to really send troops into the northern part of Jizhou, which seems to be empty in the rear, they don't dare. Because, in theory, they can run into the northern area of Jizhou to do evil, but once they really lead the generals to the northern area of Jizhou, then they are equivalent to a real lone battle. In the absence of supplies, how could they really use a small amount of troops to penetrate deep into the northern area of Jizhou, which was taken by the New Han Army?

In fact, after Yuan Shao saw the success of the ambush on Liu Yi, he immediately considered that the New Han Army would become crazy because of Liu Yi's death. Therefore, his first thought was to order the sergeants to defend to the death, just to defend until Cao Cao captured Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty, then he should be safe.

Therefore, as soon as he wanted, he ordered his military horses to immediately return to the fortified cities that they were responsible for defending. Ordered his subordinates to be sure to resist the last frantic attack of the New Han army.

Now, for Yuan Shao, in his heart, he still thinks that Liu Yi is dead. It's just a frenzied attack by the New Han Army because of Liu Yi's death. In this way, as long as Cao Cao breaks through Luoyang and destroys the New Han Dynasty, then he can at least take it back to Jizhou.

Dreams are indeed very beautiful. However, the reality did not turn out to be his hope.

Don't talk about the question of whether Liu Yi dies or not. Whether Cao Cao can destroy the New Han Dynasty or not has to be a question mark.

These days. Yuan Shao spent his time in both apprehension and a little excited anticipation.

He was worried that the New Han Army would attack him frantically, but he was excited when he thought that Liu Yi was killed under his plan. He was very concerned about Cao Cao's attack on the New Han Dynasty. The information sent back made him look forward to it again.

He transferred his military horses back, just to clench his army into a fist, and when the New Han Dynasty was destroyed by Cao Cao, he was about to counterattack and take back Jizhou, which originally belonged to him.

Well, Cao Jun broke through the camp of the New Han Army. When the soldiers pointed straight at the Tiger Prison. As soon as Yuan Shao received the good news, he was so happy that he drank three glasses in a row and sang loudly.

The undefeated New Han Army. finally lost, this is indeed worth Yuan Shao's three cups.

Then, the Tiger Prison Pass was actually broken by Cao Cao, this news. It really made Yuan Shao jump up with joy.

That night. He was drunk and dazed, but even so, he was mighty, and even the seven maidens in one night, showing his heroic spirit.

However, because he was drunk. and indulge in pleasure, when you get up. The body is a little floating, and the eyes are even more on top of two dark circles, like a national treasure.

However, his heart is very happy, thinking that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, regardless of whether he is unable to do it, or to summon a group of generals and ministers under his account, and then to summon a group of beauties in his harem, a large banquet, and the guests to have fun, on the one hand, and then wait for Cao Cao's army to kill Luoyang, the good news of breaking Luoyang.

Just as Yuan Shaoxing was drinking with a group of subordinates, the spy rushed into his palace of pleasure.

Yuan Shao, who was a little drunk, he hadn't realized what the situation was, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't care that this soldier broke into the hall so brutally. Holding the cup, his body swayed, and he asked the soldier with an amiable expression, "Well, is there any good news?" Take your time, finish speaking, and enjoy a glass of wine! ”

"Lord, lord, lord......" came a little stammered.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, do you think Yuan's reward is not enough? Well, okay, how about rewarding you with another beauty? Haha......"

"Honor, lord ......" the soldier who reported the news, he did not stammer, but did not dare to say.

He was a little trembling and said, "Lord Yu, yes, yes, the Cao army was defeated......"

"Oh? Haha, good! Cao's army defeated the New Han army! Good! Reward you with a glass of wine, and reward you with a beauty! ”

Yuan Shao was still in a wonderful fantasy, and in his heart, he was always thinking about how Cao Jun would defeat the New Han Army. So, I didn't listen to the soldier at all.

"No, my lord! Yes, it was the defeat of Cao's army...... ...... defeated by the New Han Army"

"What?" Yuan Shao's whole person seemed to have been enchanted, and he froze all of a sudden, and asked with a look of great surprise: "What?" Do you say it again? ”

"My lord, the intelligence that our spies just sent back shows that the Cao army was defeated and ambushed by the New Han Army, with heavy casualties, and even the Tiger Prison Pass was recaptured by the New Han Army."

"Cao's army was defeated...... How is this—how is this possible? Impossible! Yuan Shao was stunned, with a look of disbelief, and for a moment he forgot to reprimand the soldier who delivered the newspaper, and his expression became extremely ugly.

This news directly shattered Yuan Shao's good intentions, but his subconscious really didn't want to accept such a reality.

"Impossible...... Impossible, Liu Yi is already finished, how can the New Han Army defeat Cao Cao's elite army. Hehe, this news, it must be fake, fake! Yuan Shao's face was a little hideous: "Fake! Sue me, this is a joke you made with me Yuan Shao, Cao Cao can't be defeated by the new Han army without Liu Yi! Wow......"

Yuan Shao, who refused to accept the reality, looked like crazy, and Wala's frenzied vomited a mouthful of blood.

You must know that Yuan Shao's hopes are really all pinned on the basis that Cao Cao can defeat the New Han Army and destroy the New Han Dynasty, but now, what he hears is the news that he is most unwilling to hear. If Cao Cao is defeated by the New Han Army again, then it proves that the New Han Army is still so strong, even without Liu Yi, his Yuan Shao's situation has still not been fundamentally changed. Then, all the qiē is his Yuan Shao's fantasy, and he Yuan Shao will be destroyed by the New Han Army sooner or later.

Surprise, happiness, sadness, joy, panic, despair for the future, all kinds of feelings, Yuan Shao during this time. Really tasted it all. Now, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, and Yuan Shao is indulgent in transition. His body is very weak at the moment, and he can't bear the impact of such joy and sorrow.

He wowed, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, the whole person fell backwards straight upright, and fainted directly with a bang.

"Lord!"

"Lord ......"

A group of generals and ministers. Seeing such a situation, they were all shocked and hurriedly stepped forward. Helped Yuan Shao up.

helped Yuan Shao back to his bedroom, called Dr. Lang Zhong to inspect it, and after a while, Yuan Shao slowly woke up.

"It's over. It's really over this time...... Ahem......"

Yuan Shao who woke up. His eyes were blank, and his consciousness seemed to be still wandering in the sky.

"Quick...... Hurry, hurry up and order the soldiers of our cities, we must defend the city to the death, and we must not let the New Han army break through lightly. The New Han Army will definitely launch a crazy attack on us, and if we don't resist their offensive, we will all be finished......"

Yuan Shao's face was like a golden sore. I wanted to sit up, but I was completely weak. He coughed twice, and a mouthful of blood, but he still remembered to give orders to his sergeant.

"Quick, pass Guo Tu to ......"

Yuan Shao thought about it and said again.

"Guo is here."

Guo Tu was outside Yuan Shao's bedroom, and when he heard Yuan Shao's words, he hurriedly walked in.

In fact, Guo Tu's situation is not much better than Yuan Shao's now. When he learned the news of Cao's defeat, he knew that the shape was very unfavorable to Yuan Shao and to him. Knowing that his time by Yuan Shao's side was running out. If it weren't for his family, who had always been controlled by Yuan Shao's people, he would have liked to take his family with him now, betray Yuan Shao, and join Cao Cao.

"Guo Gongze, hurry, go and see Cao Cao, you, you sue Cao Cao, just say that I Yuan Shao can't do it, Jizhou, I am willing to give it to him, and he must send troops to support us, otherwise, I am worried, with our military horses, I am afraid that we may not be able to defeat the New Han army."

Last time, he sent Guo Tu to see Cao Cao, so Yuan Shao thought of Guo Tu for the first time.

To say that Yuan Shao in the past still had a little bit of the character of a child of a wealthy family, now, he has experienced all kinds of blows, especially now, he feels that he is no longer able to return to the sky. has slowly let go of the arrogance in his heart, just hoping to save his life temporarily. As the so-called time and moment, it turned out that Yuan Shao still had some confidence, but now he has no confidence to fight with the New Han Army. What's more, he had already cooperated with Cao Cao once before and destroyed Liu Yi, and now, although Cao Cao was defeated by the New Han Army, it is expected that Cao Cao is not too willing, even if Cao Cao wants to protect himself, he does not want Jizhou to completely fall into the hands of the New Han Army, so Yuan Shao guessed that Cao Cao should send him reinforcements.

However, Guo Tu rolled his eyes and no longer readily agreed.

He temporarily felt that now should be a good opportunity to bargain with Yuan Shao.

His mind was turning, but he knelt down in front of Yuan Shao's bed, and said with an extremely embarrassed expression: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to stay by the lord's side and serve the lord's work as a dog and horse." Life, willing to live with the lord, death, willing to follow the lord in the ground. Therefore, when I went to see Cao Cao, I still asked the lord to send another sage. ”

"Ahem...... Gongzhi, I know your loyalty to my Yuan Shao. But now, who can be sent? Who can be sent to convince Cao Cao to send reinforcements? How? What are your difficulties? ”

"This ...... This ......" Guo Tu looked like he didn't know how to talk about it.

"Ahem...... The public rule, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, now that the military situation is urgent, we kill Liu Yi, and the New Han Army will definitely not give up. In particular, now that Cao Cao has been defeated and it is impossible to attack Luoyang again, the New Han army has no worries, fearing that they will soon launch a fierce attack on us. ”

"Alas...... Lord, it's like this......" Guo Tu looked a little ashamed and said: "Lord, Cao Cao seems to have a great impression of Guo Tu, and the last time I went to see him, he personally led his civil and military greetings to Guo Mou." Brightly and secretly, he hinted many times that he hoped that Guo would work for him. However, how could Guo Tu abandon his lord and leave? The so-called loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, Guo has made it very clear that he will not betray the heart of the lord and let Cao Cao take back his wrong love. ”

Guo Tu opened his mouth and made up the way. (To be continued......)
