The cold wind in the north is so biting, Cao Cao was defeated after all, and even he didn't expect that the 400,000 army retreated on all fronts, and less than 200,000 people could return to the city.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the bones of the dead soldiers were buried, as if nothing had happened before, but the whole world trembled, and the Jizhou army was already unstoppable.

Wang Yun's face was sad, the emperor could not live, the whole Luoyang was overshadowed, the princes everywhere trembled, they still had a large army, but they were only able to protect the territory, plus they were afraid of Zhang Fan's might, they didn't dare to send troops at all, and they really became the dogs guarding the tomb.

The only hope is Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is now trapped in Qi Township, and the situation is precarious, who else can turn the tide?

Zhang Fan is not in a hurry, he is really not in a hurry, although Cao Cao was defeated, but this person is extremely terrible no matter when he arrives, if he is really in a hurry, it is inevitable that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, even if he wins, it will be a tragic victory, not to mention that there are Zhuge Liang, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others in Qi Township, and it is not the best choice to attack.

Of course, Zhang Fan is not idle, now the Chinese players on the side of Si Li have risen up and attacked, the remaining defenders of the princes are either dead or surrendered, and the entire Si Li has been recovered, Zhang Fan immediately rushed to extract the essence of the leylines and further develop his own power.

The essence of the leylines can make the strength of the five-clawed golden dragon stronger, and at the same time, it can also expand the real dragon camp, so far Zhang Fan has a total of five major states and counties in the Hebei Qingyou and Sili regions, and Jiangdong and Xuzhou are also in the camp, but there are some places where Zhang Fan can't go, just like Qingzhou, the distance is too far, unless the entire Yanzhou is defeated, it is easy to have a crisis.

But even so, Zhang Fan also successfully extracted the essence of the four places, namely Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Sili, theoretically speaking, the real dragon camp can already have a scale of 6,000 people, but now it is not good to go back and select soldiers, can only be tried by Qin Yao to summon the Yellow Turban Warriors, now the scale of the Yellow Turban Warriors has nearly 2,000 people, plus more than 1,000 true dragon dead soldiers, the number of the true dragon battalion has directly exceeded 3,000, and it is increasing over time.

At this time, equipment has become a big problem, the equipment of the real dragon warriors needs to be customized, and the level is extremely high, and the thousand sets built before have lost a lot due to the battle, so only a few hundred people in the nearly two thousand true dragon warriors have good equipment, and there are even fewer complete sets, which makes people a little helpless.

"Defeat Jiyin, White Horse!"

Zhang Fan issued an order, this is to connect the route between Yanzhou and Jizhou, as long as these two cities are broken, Jizhou's resources will continue to pour in, not only manpower, but also materials and equipment, etc., at that time Zhang Fan's military strength can be regarded as at its peak, and he can calmly seize Qixiang.

The Jizhou army is moving, the True Dragon Battalion and the White Horse are attacking, they don't need too many soldiers and horses, as long as Zhao Yun leads, it is easy to capture the two cities when the main force of the coalition army is trapped, and after a few days, this life channel will be opened, so far the north seems to be under Zhang Fan's control, connected to each other, and there is no omission.

Jizhou is now in charge of the trial and matching, and immediately began to focus on mobilizing soldiers, horses, money, food, etc., and Xun Yu helped a lot in the process, so that the trial and match were praised, and they were shocked.

"Xun Yu is coming?" Zhang Fan was slightly stunned, and then smiled, thinking that it was because Xun You was in Cao Cao's army, and Xun Yu was afraid that he would harm Xun You after Cao Cao's defeat was defeated, so he came to intercede.

Zhang Fan didn't stop this, he didn't want to kill Xun Yu in the first place, he was a good strategist anyway, so why did he have to kill him if he could surrender? After all, Xun Yu and Xun Yu are better at internal affairs, and the imperial soldiers are all based on the royal road, mainly to stimulate morale, etc., but they have not created many killings, and if they surrender sincerely, they may not be able to accept it.

The key lies in Xun Yu's thoughts!

Zhang Fan is very interested in this Wang Zuozhicai, he is good at fighting the world, but he is not good at managing the world, and Xun Yu is proficient in internal affairs, so he can help a lot, but is he really obedient?

Time passed, the Cao army in Qi Township did not move at all, hanging up the battle card all day long, and the combat power of the Jizhou army was constantly abundant, and the first stage of the trial sent 50,000 new soldiers, as well as a number of siege equipment, this time Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly, and could not defend it.

Zhang Fan dismisses this, Cao Jun is in constant attrition, while his own side is constantly increasing, one is longer and the other is long, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for him.

In the blink of an eye, it was two days later, Xun Yu finally arrived, Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and went to greet him in person.

In the cold wind, Zhang Fan did not wear armor, but he was dressed in a neat brocade robe, coupled with a flowing cloak, he also had an indescribable demeanor.

"Mr. Wenruo, you're finally here!" Zhang Fan recognized Xun Yu at the first sight, Xun Yu at this time was more energetic than when he was in Cao Cao's army, his complexion was slightly ruddy, and his plump spirit was like jade.

"Prime Minister!"

Xun Yu was slightly stunned, and then knelt down: "How dare the criminal minister let the prime minister greet him personally?" It's really frustrating! ”

Zhang Fan didn't care, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Where does the name of the criminal come from?" Mr. was committed to Cao Cao at the beginning, but he was really deceived, and now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so why bother to pursue the future, there is no need to mention it again! ”

Xun Yu got up: "The prime minister is benevolent and generous, which is really admirable!" ”

Zhang Fan welcomed him into the city, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and others came to see each other, they used to fight each other, and now they see each other again, they are embarrassed.

"It seems that the fortune of heaven and the hearts of the people are on the side of the prime minister!" Pang Tong laughed, very happy, his choice was not wrong, he would definitely achieve a great cause.

Xun Yu bowed his head slightly, looking very humble, he also talked about what he saw and heard in Jizhou, which made everyone very emotional: "The rumors are not credible, the prime minister is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and governs the world with benevolence and virtue, which should be the luck of the Han Dynasty and the luck of the people!" ”

Speaking of this, he knelt down again, clasped his fists and bowed: "My nephew Xun Yu has not the wisdom to help the traitor, but he does have real talent and learning, and I hope that the prime minister can spare his life when the time comes, I will persuade him to surrender!" ”

Zhang Fan had expected it, and smiled slightly: "Everything is from what Mr. said!" ”

Xun Yu was a little stunned, it's as simple as that?

Zhang Fan motioned for him to get up, and said with a light smile: "The sea is inclusive, I hope that the world is peaceful, and there will be no more wars from now on!" ”

"The Lord is benevolent, the world is lucky!" Everyone was convinced, recognized from the bottom of their hearts, and even Xun Yu and Pang Tong did not call themselves "prime ministers" anymore, but directly called the lord!

People's hearts are available!
