Cao Cao finally ran away, with the blessing of famous horses and the protection of famous generals, although there were a large number of players, but under the protection of those soldiers who were not afraid of death, and even directly under the protection of human shields, Cao Cao still penetrated the encirclement that the players had painstakingly laid and slipped away, and the players only annihilated five hundred warriors in the end.

Although Cao Cao escaped from Shengtian, he did not dare to directly pass through the Chang'an Ancient Road Canyon of Hangu Pass and return to Hangu Pass to join the Xiahou brothers, but changed his costume and crossed the mountains and walked back from the mountains on foot, in order to avoid the pursuit of the players.

When the Xiahou brothers and Xi Zhi saw Cao Cao's embarrassed appearance, their tears almost fell, and Cao Cao's tears had already fallen, not for themselves, but for those soldiers who were tired to death by themselves, and those warriors who died generously to protect themselves.

suffered a catastrophe, Cao Cao finally became honest, he really realized that Dong Zhuo is really not easy to mess with, in fact, if Dong Zhuo is a fool, how can he become the most powerful figure in the Han Dynasty with a border general, if such a person does not have two brushes, it is strange!

Cao Cao didn't dare to chase it, so he had to honestly guard Hangu Pass, but there were a lot of player troops who dared to pursue, and there were constantly player troops who passed through the Hangu Pass that was mastered by Cao Cao, and pursued along the Chang'an Ancient Road, so that Cao Cao shook his head. I don't know if I think these players are enough for two, or if I feel ashamed.

In the evening, Liu Bei's troops were late, because Cao Cao occupied Hangu Pass, Liu Bei did not dare to boldly enter Hangu Pass to stay, now is a time of war, no one will feel strange if anyone dies. Even if Cao Cao suddenly killed himself and annexed his own troops, what would the world do to Cao Cao? No one is going to cry out for a dead man.

So Liu Bei had no choice but to go to the temporary camp originally established by Fang Zhiwen on the edge of the Jianhe River, where there used to be a large refugee camp. Therefore, the foundation of the camp still exists, and Liu Bei makes full use of it, as for the pursuit. Liu Bei had already learned of Cao Cao's fiasco from Yiren, and Liu Bei had no desire to pursue.

After it was completely dark, Sun Jian's troops arrived slowly, and saw that Cao Cao's troops were already guarding the Hangu Pass, so Sun Jian set up camp a few miles east of the pass, and by the way, he also came to borrow grain from Cao Cao.

After this battle of the Central Plains, Sun Jian finally woke up completely. It is not a long-term solution to send people under the fence, not to mention that people do not regard you as a descendant, not only do they guard against crowding out everywhere, but also deliberately use the enemy army to weaken Sun Jian's troops, plus Yuan Shu has no capital as a leader. Sun Jian is a very ambitious hero, so naturally he looks down on Yuan Shu, who is not on the stage, as for Yuan Shao, it seems that it is not a good destination for himself, Sun Jian thinks about it, and it is serious to be strong himself. So, Sun Jian took a fancy to Cao Cao, who was also as shallow as himself, and wanted to cooperate with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is now half a wanderer, wanting to seek a foothold in the Central Plains, and Sun Jian has Changsha as his foundation, but he also lacks allies who can support him to get out of the control of the Yuan family, and the better allies should be Liu Bei and Cai Mao, but these two people are close neighbors, and I am afraid that Sun Jian will not be welcome to stand on his own and grow, so Cao Cao has become the best partner to work with.

The two almost hit it off, and secretly discussed in Hangu Pass all night, no one knew what kind of cooperation agreement the two men had reached, anyway, all the witnesses present knew that when the two came out of the conference room, the expressions on their faces were very excited, and it was obvious that the meeting between the two was quite pleasant and productive.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's troops arrived in front of Hangu Pass, at this time the fire in Luoyang City had been extinguished, and the fire burned for two whole days, in history, this fire burned longer, but the game artificially accelerated the time for the fire to end, which was also to start rebuilding Luoyang faster.

In Hangu Pass, the princes of Zhulu met again, but there were already a few fewer people, one was Zhang Yang, one was Han Fu, and Fang Zhiwen and Kong Ling, Zhu Jun and others did not attend, in fact, now the princes are basically the Quartet, one is Liu Bei, one is Cao Cao, one is Yuan Shao, and the last one is Yuan Shu.

The other people are just little minions waving flags and shouting, and the content of this meeting is also very simple, handing over the control of Luoyang, which is already in ruins, to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao will lead the princes to continue to attack Tongguan, and Yuan Shu will sit in Luoyang to rebuild while ensuring supplies.

Yuan Shao pretended to praise Cao Cao's bravery and loyalty, and expressed regret for Cao Cao's loss, and at the same time used Cao Cao's defeat to warn everyone not to take it lightly. At the same time, Sun Jian and Liu Bei were also praised, Yuan Shao had a big mouth, and rewarded these three people with a lot of grain, grass and supplies, of course, these things were allocated by Yuan Shu, as for whether they could get them, it was not something that Yuan Shao could manage.

So, in a dull atmosphere, the meeting ended like this, although Dong Zhuo retreated, and Luoyang returned to the hands of the Kwantung clan, but no one was happy about this matter, as for whether anyone was secretly laughing, I don't know...... Ziyuan, according to the latest information, Dong Zhuo has completely shrunk to the west of Tongguan, the troops of Hedong County and the troops of Hanoi County have converged and retreated to Feng Yi County, establishing a defensive line along the mountainous area, as for Lu Bu's troops, they are also slowly advancing southward, and this guy has almost emptied half of Hedong County. On the southern line, Huaxiong guarded Tongguan, Zhang Ji guarded Wuguan, and Li Dao and Niu Fubu marched to Hanzhong. ”

Yuan Shao pointed to the map and said, while sorting out his thoughts and thinking about his next step.

"At the beginning, this was in line with our expectations at the beginning, Tongguan has the danger of mountains and rivers, Hanzhong has the benefits of granaries, and there are Xiliang's war horses and warriors in the northwest, if we fight, we can't take advantage of it, this is the time for us to start withdrawing, let the highway continue to confront Dong Zhuo, and we will take Jizhou in one go."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, he turned his gaze to the direction of Jizhou on the map, looked at the text marked on it, and couldn't help but be a little frustrated, is Jizhou really so easy to unify?

"It's hard to do that! Ziyuan, Jizhou Han Fu's strength is good, and the strength of the Yellow Turban Thief is also expanding due to our lack of suppression, and it is not easy to take Jizhou now1

"It's true, if we go to war with either of these two families, we may invite the alliance of the other party, so we will fall behind, but we can't just be satisfied with the current territory, so there must be a way to break the current situation."

Yuan Shao squinted his eyes and stroked his beard slowly, he also knew that he needed to break the deadlock in front of him, the question was how to break this deadlock?

"Originally, the victory of this battle against Dong will bring a temporary reputation to the original, the original needs to firmly seize this opportunity, gather talents, expand the territory, actively develop production and accumulate population, want to defeat Han Fu and the Yellow Turban Army in a short period of time, it is indeed very difficult, but looking to the future, these two forces have their own shortcomings, as long as we slowly try to do it, we will always succeed."

Yuan Shao nodded slowly, agreeing with Xu You's statement, but the second half of the sentence was a little incomprehensible.

Ziyuan refers to the shortcomings...... Han Fu's roots! Han Fu was originally a royalist, but among his supporters, they were actually mainly from the world, and Han Fu himself did not look down on the poor family, so Han Fu's subordinates should be more inclined to the original in terms of fundamental interests, and this part of the people can be fought for. ”

Yuan Shao nodded suddenly, Han Fu's subordinates, including Fu Zhu, Min Chun, Xun Zhan, Judge, Zhang Jaw, Lu Yi, etc., are all from the world, and these people are all in high positions around Han Fu, if you can move these people, not only can you achieve the purpose of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, but even directly overturn Han Fu, the key is, how can Yuan Shao make those people believe that following Yuan Shao will be more promising than following Han Fu, and it will be more beneficial to the family, and this is what Yuan Shao is good at.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, some crow's feet gathered at the corners of his eyes, and his hands unconsciously brushed on his beard.

"And what about the Yellow Turbans?"

"The Yellow Turban Army is not monolithic, although Zhang Jiao is now the leader of the Yellow Turban Thief, but his brother does not seem to be very obedient to him, and what is more important is that I have heard that Zhang Jiao intends to pass on his position to his son, not his brother, so that there will naturally be serious factional disputes in the Yellow Turban Army, as long as we adjust our strategy, the Yellow Turban Army may collapse without a fight."

"Adjust your strategy?"

"Yes, adjust the strategy and adopt differentiated cooperation with the Yellow Turban Army, such as cooperating with Zhang Bao, but refusing to cooperate with Zhang Jiao."

"Wonderful! Wonderful 1

Xu You smiled proudly, twisted his beard and continued: "On the other hand, we can choose to have a small-scale confrontation with Han Fu, this is a pull and a dozen, let Huang Jiao We are currying favor with them to fight Han Fu, when the external pressure of the Yellow Turban Army disappears, there will naturally be internal strife." And we have another advantage in suppressing Han Fu, it can also make the clans under Han Fu see clearly that there is no future for following Han Fu, which is conducive to us to win over and buy from it. ”

"Good! Good! Okay 1

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, the original embarrassing situation, under Xu Yu's analysis, became clear and organized, Yuan Shao's mood also became cheerful, Yuan Shao, who originally had no confidence in Jizhou, is full of confidence in Jizhou at the moment, coupled with the supporters of the clan after the Central Plains War, Yuan Shao is now absolutely confident to re-establish the prestige of the Central Plains clan group.

Xu You looked at Yuan Shao, who was laughing heartily, squinted his eyes, and stared at the bottom of the map, perhaps, the breakthrough should start here, Fang Zhiwen's fall here is really interesting, q! ~！
