All the generals were surprised, shocked by Zang Ba's expression, and moved by Zang Ba's heartfelt words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xuangao!! You! …… You don't have to, and I won't be embarrassed! Feng Yao was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect Zang Ba to take the initiative to be loyal.

"Nope! Lord! Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, and there was no lord before, but now he can follow the lord left and right, and he can't ask for it! Please allow me! Zang Ba looked firm and said loudly.

"Good! I agree, of course I agree, Xuan Gao, please get up! Feng Yao hurriedly left the table and helped Zang Ba up.

Zang Ba looked excited, at this moment, he felt that he had truly dissolved into Feng Yao's side, and the other generals who followed around him cheered loudly when they saw Zang Ba recognize the master, and gave Zang Ba a thumbs up.

"Thank you! Thank you!! Zang Ba hugged his fists one by one and returned the salute.

Although Zang Bagui is a history of assassination, he is a section higher than all the generals here, but Zang Ba understands that if Feng Yao is willing, every one of them can be a history of assassination!

Feng Yao got up, and simply pulled Xu Shu, Lu Fan, and Zang Baquan to his side and sat down on his knees.

"Xuan Gao, right now we are about to attack Cao Cao! What would you do if you were Cao Cao? Feng Yao asked.

Zang Ba thought for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "If I am in Cao Cao's current position, I will try my best to preserve my current strength, avoid you as a lord, and do not fight with you!" ”

"What do you mean that Cao Cao will retreat?!" Feng Yao asked in surprise.

"I don't know what will happen to Cao Cao, but if it were me, I would definitely retreat from Qingzhou and go to Hebei to rely on Yuan Shao!! When all the troops in his hands are lost, even if he votes for Yuan Shao, he will not be valued by Yuan Shao!! "Zang is domineering.

When Feng Yao heard this, he glanced at Xu Shu, "It's broken!" Cao Cao is running away!! ”

Feng Yaoteng jumped up and said loudly: "The generals listen to the order, the banquet will end immediately now, and prepare to besiege Cao Cao!" ”

"Yes!! Lord!! ”

All the generals left the table and shouted in unison.

"Report!" Suddenly, a scout hurried in and shouted a loud report.

"Lord!! Cao Cao is withdrawing his troops from Dongpingling to Pingyuan County, with thousands of carts such as cattle and horses, and tens of thousands of people carrying them on their backs, all carrying their burdens!! The scout said.

"Revisit! If there is a situation, report it immediately! Feng Yao ordered, and the scout left in response.

Feng Yao's expression perked up, and he said in his heart: "It's not too late, Dongping Mausoleum is only ten miles away from here, if Cao Cao orders the people to move, he will definitely move slowly, and he can catch up within half an hour!" ”

After glancing at it, the generals lined up in two columns under the seat were all gearing up, eager to try, and their eyes were full of light.

"Lu Tingshi, you quickly lead your headquarters and set off immediately to attack Licheng!! If you see Cao Jun, attack immediately!! ”

"Yes!!" Lu Fan immediately turned around and left.

"Zang Assassin Shi, you lead the army to attack Liangzou County in the north, and after you capture it, continue to the north until you recover the entire Le'an country."

Zang Ba also left as ordered.

"General Changxuan, please be the vanguard and set off immediately to attack Dongpingling! The rear army pursuing Cao Cao must not harm the lives of the people who have fled the defenses, but they must not be allowed to continue to leave the local area!! ”

Chang Feng roared and strode away.

These three armies were all outside the city and moved relatively quickly, so Feng Yao immediately made a decision and sent them all out.

And Feng Yao's army left in the city, because he had to go out of the city and prepare food, it would take one to two minutes to slow down!

"I really don't know if Wei Yan is in Cao Cao's rear, if he gets the news, if Wei Yan can take the opportunity to contain Cao Cao and let Cao Cao's marching speed slow down, we can just catch up with Cao Cao and start a big battle with Cao Cao in the field, and Cao Cao has lost the protection of the city when he goes up, although we have some omissions in the strategy, but we hit it right by mistake, but we have the advantage!"

Looking at the backs of the generals leaving one by one, Feng Yao instantly felt like he had a strong ambition in his chest, and he actually had some trance!

After a slight distraction, Feng Yao exhaled a long breath, his eyes swept Xu Shu, Dai Ling, Yang Wu, Zhang Da, Li Dian, Wang Cheng and other generals, and shouted with a fist: "Let's go!" ”

March 21, 2nd year of Xingping.

Cao Cao led more than 10,000 defeated troops to retreat from Dongpingling to the northwest, and the main generals were Dian Wei, Xiahou Dan, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Xun Yu, Cao Chun, Han Hao, Shi Lian, Cao Yong, Chang Diao, etc.

And coerced the people of the passing places to flee together, and those who did not obey were killed by Cao Cao, and the people wailed all over the field along the way, and it was unbearable to see.

Cao Cao's purpose in doing this was twofold, one was to make these fleeing people a tool to hinder Feng Yao's pursuit of the army, and the other was to hope that those people who were strong enough to keep up with the army could move to the north bank of the Yellow River together, and would be able to serve as a source of Cao Cao's tuntian and conscription.

Feng Yao had to send soldiers along the way to bring these people back to their original places because of the people, chased Jishui, chased Luoshui, and finally chased straight to Gaotang County on the south bank of the Yellow River.

However, although Cao Cao's more than 10,000 elite soldiers fled, most of the baggage and people did not have time to cross the Yellow River.

These baggage weighed about more than 500,000 stone of grain, but the money was relatively small, and the valuable gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, etc., were all transported away by Cao Cao in time, leaving only more than a dozen carts of heavy copper coins, Feng Yao roughly estimated that there were about more than one billion! It's not much, but it's a lot! If it is distributed to the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rioters who have just surrendered, each person can get almost thousands of money, enough for those families who are willing to live and work in peace and contentment, buy farm tools and almost a year's living needs!

Population is wealth, population is the source of soldiers, population is labor!!

Feng Yao recognized this reason, these Qingzhou Yellow Turban rebels who surrendered, Feng Yao did not plan to let them continue to stay in Qingzhou, but all moved to Yuzhou to make up for the population lost in Yuzhou due to years of war!

Most of the territory of Pingyuan County is on the north bank of the Yellow River, Feng Yao originally wanted to kill all the way to the north bank and defeat Cao Cao completely, but he got the news that Yuan Tan led 20,000 troops and settled in Pingyuan City, obviously he didn't want Feng Yao's forces to cross the Yellow River!

After Feng Yao and Xu Shu discussed, because he was worried that Runan would be attacked by Liu Biao, he chose to give up, abide by the agreement with Yuan Shao, and the two sides made a truce!

At this moment, Qingzhou is jubilant! The army roared with joy until it was hoarse!

All the generals congratulated Feng Yao!

Feng Yao loudly gave the order that the generals had been waiting for.

Reward the whole army, and celebrate the state for three days!!

The battle with Cao Cao lasted nearly two months, from the 29th of the first month, from Qu County, to Gaotang County, it was already the 24th of March!!

Feng Yao's wounded troops have accumulated to nearly 30,000! This is still in the case of Feng Yao's victory in every battle and the killing of the enemy several times! And Cao Cao's number of dead troops is more than 100,000!

But fortunately, no important generals have fallen!! Moreover, the number of soldiers recruited and surrendered along the way was huge, far exceeding the number of casualties. (To be continued.) )
