Cao Shuo ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Yuan Xu returned to the camp, and also ordered the army to turn north.

"Childe, why don't you attack Xuchang?" The two only met, and Yuan Xu changed his strategic deployment, and Tian Feng was very puzzled.

"There are only 1,000 people under Cao Zirong's command, but it is not an ordinary Cao army. Our army used to fight with tigers and leopards in the past, and we knew that Cao's army was elite. Although the fight against it is winnable, it will definitely be a crushing victory! Yuan Xu said: "It is not difficult for the Cao army to recruit soldiers, but it is ......difficult for Penglai to recruit soldiers."

Yuan Xu did not say the reason why he really withdrew his troops.

Cao Shuo is similar to him, and both have memories of later generations.

To be able to survive for so long in this era, and to be able to command such a strong army and horses, it can be seen that this person is extraordinary!

It is imperative to seize Cao Cao's city!

Engage with Cao Zirong in short combat......

At least Yuan Xu thinks it's not the time yet!

The Tianhai camp went north, and Cao Shuo led his troops back to Xudu.

Following him, Wu Shuo asked, "Childe, just let them go?" ”

"What if you don't let them go?" Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Xianxin's Tianhai Battalion can fight well, and the tigers and leopards rode to fight with it in the past, and they can't get any benefits!" ”

"The tiger and leopard ride is the tiger and leopard ride, and the broken camp is the broken camp!" Wu Shuo also wanted to defend.

"There is only a broken camp available under a certain command, and I don't want to fold all of them in Yu County!" Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Xianxin has promised not to attack Xudu again, at least he will not attack when he is guarding a certain town. I'll wait for my father to return. ”

Wu Shuo didn't dare to say more, so he had to follow the army and withdraw.

As he left, he looked back in the direction of the Tianhai Camp.

Cao Shuo was depressed.

Come to this era. He's not unique!

When he first heard about Yuan Xu's name, he felt that this person was extraordinary.

Unknown nationality. But suddenly he was able to fight well.

Seeing it today confirmed what he had thought a long time ago.

There is no record. But it made Haoxiong moved.

What will be the fate of characters like him and Yuan Xu in the future, Cao Shuo is not sure!

Evacuate Yuxian and return to Xudu.

Two fast horses quietly ran out of the city of Xudu.

However, a few days later, Cao Cao, who chased Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to Yecheng, got the news.

Cao Shuo and Yuan Xu did not go to war, the two only set up a table outside the city, drank a drink, and then withdrew their troops.

There was a letter written by Xiahou Yuan on the table, and Cao Cao's face was very ugly.

"Father, what are you going to do with the second brother?" Cao Pi said: "The leader of the troops has arrived in Yu County. But instead of starting a war with Yuan Xianxin, he put a table of wine and food in front of the battle......"

"Zirong must have his material broken." Cao Cao said: "Zihuan is not stable enough, and he has to ask his brother for advice!" ”

"That's what my father said!" Cao Pi bowed.

"Cao Gong!" Guo Jia said: "The second prince did not start a war in Yu County, Yuan Xianxin led the troops all the way north, and he also occupied a lot of land boundaries when attacking the city!" ”

"Is there a stagger?" Cao Cao asked.

"Just take the city, and then come out!" Guo Jia said: "Penglai has few soldiers, if it captures the city, it will be broken by Cao Gong sooner or later." He wanted to shake the foundation of Cao Gong and revitalize the Yuan family. ”

"Feng Xiao can have a way to deal with it?"

"Yuan Tan and Yuan are not harmonious. Cao Gong attacked the city too tightly, but it made the brothers single-minded. Guo Jia said: "It's better to retreat for the time being, and the army will go south to deal with Yuan Xianxin." Only Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang can compete here! ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "The wheat seedlings in the field are also sprouted, and the soldiers are ordered." Cut off the wheat seedlings in Yecheng, and the army went south to attack Yuan Xianxin! ”

The Cao army, which was besieging Yecheng, distributed troops and horses to raid the village in all directions.

On the outskirts of Yecheng. The green wheat seedlings broke through the soil, and as far as the eye could see, they were verdant.

Cao's soldiers rushed into the field. Uproot the wheat sprouts.

In just three or five days, the verdant fields on the outskirts of Yecheng will be barren. Not even half a green leaf was left.

Cao's army cut wheat and withdrew.

At the head of Yecheng City, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang stood side by side.

Looking at the bursts of black smoke rising from the burning wheat seedlings in the distance, Yuan Tan said: "Cao Cao is really a method to cut off the roots!" ”

"Remove the wheat seedlings, and this year there will be hunger again." Yuan Shang said: "If you want to protect Yecheng, you have to transfer grain and grass from all over the country. ”

Both brothers are full of loneliness.

Fight against Cao Cao together, but they were beaten and had no power to fight back!

Cao's soldiers arrived in Yecheng, and they only needed to besiege the city for a few months, and the foundation of the Yuan family in Hebei would fall into the hands of the Cao family.

The sudden withdrawal of troops is indeed strange!

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang didn't know why Cao Cao withdrew his troops, but Cao Cao was very clear.

In the area of Xuzhou, Yuan Xu conquered the city and rapidly expanded his power.

In just twenty or thirty days, the number of Penglai soldiers has surged to more than 50,000!

The 6,000 Tianhai battalion opened the way in front, and 50,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life who came to serve followed behind.

The army is growing, but Yuan Xu is worried.

Most of the people who came to serve were thieves who had been Yellow Turbans back then, and some were people who missed Liu Bei's benefits and refused to join Cao Cao.

Mixed with all kinds of people, all kinds of people are full of people in the army, and military discipline is very lax.

"Childe!" Seeing that Xuzhou was approaching, Tian Feng came to Yuan Xu's approach: "There are many people who come to serve, and military discipline is difficult to restrict, so it is better to find a place to settle everyone." Based on Xuzhou, it responds to each other with Hebei, and Cao Cao can also be controlled! ”

"What Tian Gong said coincides with a certain one!" Yuan Xu said: "Although the number of people in the army has expanded tenfold, there is a lack of training, and the soldiers do not have much recognition of Penglai, and the old and weak are full of the army. If we encounter Cao's army at this time, our army will be defeated. ”

"Pass the order down and march to Xuzhou!" Yuan Xu ordered.

The Penglai army passed through Xuzhou, and Cao Cao, who burned the wheat seedlings in Yecheng, also led the army to come.

Sending dozens of scouts, Cao Cao could get information about Yuan Xu almost every day.

"Yuan Xianxin's sudden recourse, what is his intention?" Leading the army to march, Cao Cao asked the staff.

"I landed on Qushan Mountain, first all the way to the west, and met the second son and turned to the northeast." Xun You said: "Yuan Xianxin's way of marching is quite strange. According to this situation, there may be a desire to capture Xuzhou! ”

"Capture Xuzhou?" Cao Cao said: "Xuzhou is far away from Penglai, even if you capture ......"

"It's a long way off, but it's not hard to deal with." Xun You said: "Didn't Gong Cao forget that Yuan Xianxin broke through our army's naval division, and the sea route was already in his hands? ”

"Command the armies!" Surprised, Cao Cao shouted: "Hurry up to help Xuzhou!" ”

Ordered to rush to Xuzhou, and a person beside Cao Cao said: "Duke Cao, if it weren't for the second prince to intercept and not fight, Yuan Xianxin might not have killed Xuzhou." This matter ......"

"Zirong must have a plan like this!" Cao Cao said: "It's just that everyone in Xu Du must be suspicious of him. There is something he needs to do, you don't have to worry about it! ”

Besides, Cao Shuo and Yuan Xu passed by in Yu County and didn't dare to say more, so Nuo Nuo responded twice and retreated to the side.

A few days later, Cao Shuo, who was guarding Xudu, received an order to go to Hetao and welcome Cai Yan, a talented Han woman who had been robbed by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, back to the Central Plains. (To be continued.) )
