After learning of the loss of Xuzhou, although Cao Cao was extremely anxious, but he knew the general trend he did not divide his troops to the Central Plains, but carried out a more fierce attack on Yecheng day and night, regardless of casualties, in order to be able to take Yecheng faster, Cao Cao even repeatedly sent Dian Wei, Xiahou brothers and Xu Chu and other super-first-class generals to attack the city continuously, without a moment of rest.

Cao Cao was ruthless, Yuan Shao's side was immediately defeated, originally, after the defeat of Guandu, the Yuan army was already at the end of the crossbow, plus did not get a moment of respite, the remnants of the Yuan army have already been overdrawn both mentally and physically, the reason why they have been able to survive until now is that Yuan Shao's personal prestige and personality charm in Hebei on weekdays have played a role, but no matter how high Yuan Shao's prestige is, in the face of the enemy's overwhelming advantage, especially when there are several super-first-class generals on the opposite side, it is difficult to reverse the trend after all.

、、、、、

Four days passed, and with the Xiahou brothers taking the lead again, the defenders of Yecheng finally reached the limit and were completely defeated, and the entire eastern city wall was also occupied and controlled by the Cao army in an instant.

Yecheng is broken、、、、

Listening to the urgent report of the herald who retreated from the city, smelling the bloody air outside and the faint sound of fighting, Yuan Shao's face sitting in the mansion became calm, and it looked a little strange in this chaotic mansion, after the complete defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao, who had sobered up from his arrogance, thought that there would be this day, and now everything is coming, Yuan Shao can already accept it very calmly, the so-called success and defeat, he Yuan Shao will eventually fall to the point of a loser.

It's just that even if he was already prepared to face a desperate situation, at this moment, the slightest hint of pain and struggle flashed in the depths of Yuan Shao's eyes.

He is unwilling, he Yuan Shao was born in a famous family since he was a child, and his background is prominent, whether it is in terms of talent or personal prestige, he can be called the top of the Han Dynasty, and the latter two are even more dominant in the four states of Hebei, admired by the people of the world, and now it is just because of a mistake in decision-making on the battlefield, it will fall to this point of no return, losing the world and everything.

"Lord!"

The city wall has been broken, and the sound of the chaotic soldiers who are about to spread to the inner city naturally can't hide the core think tank under Yuan Shao's command.

"You're here?" Hearing the shout, Yuan Shao came back to his senses from his painful memories, glanced at Fu Zhi and the others, and shouted softly with a wry smile.

"Lord, the eastern wall of Yecheng has been broken, and the Cao army will soon be killed here, please break through quickly!" Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't seem to be anxious at all, he instinctively felt a little weird, but at the critical moment, he didn't think about it so much, and directly gave up.

"Yes, my lord, what Fu Zhu said is right, get up and break through!"

"The subordinates have sent people to prepare good horses, the lord please get up and retreat quickly to avoid military disasters!"

At this time, it was a moment of urgency, and it was the first time that these staff members of Yuan Shao were so united, and they all advised Yuan Shao to break through immediately.

"Run? Where can I flee now? Yuan Shao's gaze swept over the faces of several staff members one by one, and suddenly smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.

Guandu was defeated, and all his family wealth over the years was defeated, and Cao Cao did not give him time to rebuild his troops at all, and pursued him fiercely, and now the whole Hebei can be said to be in a state of emptiness, and there is no available force for him to form a defensive front.

Feng Ji and the others were speechless, obviously, they also noticed this, although Hebei has a lot of land and resources, there is no shortage of fortified fortresses, but if there is no force to defend, it will only be swallowed up by the huge force of Cao Cao's army in the end, especially looking at Cao Cao's current rapid attack, it is obvious that he will not let Yuan Shao go easily.

"As long as the lord's ambition is still there, we still have a chance, we can go to Youzhou to avoid it first!" At the critical moment, Fu Zhi stood up again and spoke.

"Youzhou?" Yuan Shao read a sentence, his eyebrows tightened, and he vaguely guessed what he meant, but 、、、

"Yes, don't forget, the lord still has 20,000 troops in Youzhou, although it is far from Cao Cao's huge force, but the lord should know that Lu Xuantong has sent a vanguard army to the Central Plains to point at Cao Cao, and his army has also begun to assemble, presumably the huge army in Jiangdong will go north to the Central Plains in the near future, as long as we use the only remaining 20,000 soldiers in Youzhou to survive the most difficult times, Cao Cao will be forced by Lu Xuantong to defend, and then the lord's turning point will come." Frustrated explained hurriedly.

There is no way to let Yuan Shao use the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, after all, those 20,000 soldiers and horses play an extremely vital role in other aspects, but at this time Yuan Shao has fallen into a desperate situation, and he can only think of such a way to help Yuan Shao get out of the dead end.

"I 、、、!" Yuan Shao opened his mouth, and wanted to agree immediately, but somehow, when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't speak, and then, he couldn't help but think of stone statues or portraits of sages that he had remembered in his heart since childhood, from the Virgin Nuwa to the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, to Qin Shi Huang, to Han Gaozu, to Emperor Wu of Han, to Emperor Guangwu.

The images of these ancestors and ancestors in history were finally turned into one word, and that word was 、、、 Han!

The Han family is the greatest people in the world, they are intelligent, diligent, studious, humble, and integrate all the good qualities, as a member of the Han people, no matter what, they must also protect the interests of their own nation.

"Forget it, failure is failure, I, Yuan Shao, have fallen to such a point because I am to blame, and I have nothing to say." Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's heart suddenly became extremely firm, he shook his head lightly, and rejected Frustrated's proposal.

"Lord, this is your last chance、、、 you?" Seeing that Yuan Shao was stupid again at this last moment, he was a little dumbfounded, pointed his finger at Yuan Shao, and was a little speechless with anger.

"Frustrated, I know this may be my only chance, but you don't know what the meaning of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou is, they are guarding the northern frontier of my Han Dynasty in the bitter cold land outside the pass, if I use these 20,000 soldiers and horses to resist Cao Cao, what will happen to the consequences?" Yuan Shao's expression was very calm, and he just responded lightly.
