Cao Cao finally escaped and returned to Yangdu City to hold on, but his situation was very bad, Zhang Fan eliminated the "cannon fodder" troops he left behind, and more than 100,000 soldiers came to the city, surrounding Yangdu City to death, leaving no gaps.

Tiebi attracted 50,000 soldiers and horses to help, and at the same time began to draw some regular imperial guards and horses from Jizhou, it can be said that Zhang Fan's power is incomparable in Qingzhou, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, it is not enough to compete with him!

The high walls of Yangdu City are thick, the Cao army is elite, and it cannot be attacked lightly, and the Jizhou army is tired after a day of fighting, so Zhang Fan ordered to camp on the spot for the follow-up.

In the evening, Zhang Fan set up a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of this flag!

It was said that it was a banquet, but the generals did not drink much wine, although Cao Cao was defeated, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, it was difficult to guarantee that he would attack the camp at night, everyone arranged a strict defense, widely distributed sentinels, and always paid attention to the surrounding movements.

Didn't kill Cao Cao, this is a pity for Zhang Fan after all, but the current situation is also gratifying, the attack of the god of war is destined to have no possibility of union between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Zhang Fan can be broken individually, Qingzhou seems to be within reach!

Xu Shu smiled slightly, and said: "The current situation is favorable to us, but the lord should not take it lightly, when the troops are sent to guard Rencheng County, to prevent the Cao army in Yanzhou from jumping over the wall in a hurry, across the water, when the time comes, our army may not be able to resist." ”

Zhang Fan is naturally as good as a stream, and immediately ordered Tiebi to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to the town, the Jizhou army is the most proficient in defense is only Tiebi, in the imperial guard, I am afraid that even Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw and other famous generals can not compare with him, there are talented people in the country, and the outstanding people in reality may not be worse than the historical celebrities!

After arranging the arrangement, Zhang Fan paused slightly, and said: "Now that Cao Cao is defending the city, although his main army has lost Yan zhòng, there are still more than 100,000 newly collected troops under his command, and it may not be without the strength of a battle, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

Pan Feng stood up arrogantly: "Although the Cao army is numerous, the military spirit has been lost, and it is not difficult to break it!" If I attack tomorrow, please give me 10,000 troops, and I will definitely go first, break through Yangdu, and capture Cao Cao! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, this is indeed a bit reckless, but it also represents the availability of the army's heart, and at the same time makes Zhang Fan feel a wave of pride in his heart, yes, his own power has been completely overwhelmed by Cao Cao, what a glory is this?

A generation of heroes, heroes destined to compete in the world, were trampled under their feet!

No one expected Zhang Fan to come to this point, countless people paid attention to the situation in Qingzhou, and they were all stunned after getting the news, the invincible Cao Cao was actually defeated? How is this possible!

In the minds of most players, the NPC princes are powerful, and the soldiers under their command are fierce, and they are undefeated, and Cao Cao is the overlord among them, but now that even Cao Cao has been defeated, many people's minds have begun to live, since the NPC is not undefeated, then they have a lot to do!

There are so many states and counties in the Han Dynasty, the player forces are entrenched, more or less, intricate, some are wise to protect themselves, but there are also some forces that are ambitious, the most significant of which is the members of the God Butcher Project Alliance, they have the support of their own country behind them, and their appeal among their own players is great, although they have taken refuge in the local princes, but the small actions behind the scenes are constant, and now Zhang Fan has taken a good start, once they find an opportunity, they have to be anti-guest-oriented!

Zhang Fan has no time to take care of these things, the first thing he has to clean up is the mess in Qingzhou, as long as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still in the day, he can't sleep well, and he must be removed!

Waving his hand and motioning for Pan Feng to sit down, Zhang Fan set his eyes on Jia Xu Xu Shu and other strategists, these people are still needed to give advice at this moment.

At this time, Tian Feng smiled and said, "With the current situation, it is not difficult to defeat Cao Cao, but has the lord ever thought about it, what is the point of doing this?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

Tian Feng said: "Has the lord forgotten Huainan Yuan Shuhu? ”

Zhang Fan was suddenly shocked when he heard this, he secretly exclaimed in his heart, it seemed that he was also carried away by the victory, and he actually forgot this link, and almost made a big mistake!

Tian Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are clan relatives, because Yuan Shao is in danger, he led the army here, whether he really saved Yuan Shao is not yet known, but now that the time is calculated, his army is about to approach Qingzhou, and as soon as he arrives, the situation in Qingzhou will immediately change qualitatively!" ”

After a pause, he analyzed it carefully: "Cao Cao's new defeat and low morale are true, but it has a city, and the soldiers are fierce, and it is also difficult for us to capture, it must be a dragon and tiger fight, and even if we succeed in defeating Cao Cao or even killing him, the next thing we have to face is the two-sided attack of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, how to resist it?" ”

Zhang Fan frowned, this is a difficult problem and worrying.

Tian Feng looked at Zhang Fan, hugged his fists and said, "Actually, we shouldn't attack Cao Cao now, but we should give him a chance to breathe!" Compared with us, Yuan Shao's hatred for Cao Cao is deeper, and most of Qingzhou is in Cao Cao's hands, if Yuan Shu arrives, the first one will take Cao Cao, and we will sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”

"Leave Cao Cao?" Zhang Fan struggled very much, but he had to admit that this was the best way, if he couldn't use Cao Cao to attract Yuan Shu's attention, he would face the Huainan army that had been in good time, and there would be more trouble, and it would be difficult to defend the entire territory of Qingzhou with his current strength, what good would it be to attack it? However, it is really reluctant to give up this great opportunity, and it is difficult to choose.

Seeing Zhang Fan's hesitation, Jia Xu said: "The lord is a person who has achieved great things, why bother to stick to the present? Although our army does not use force in Qingzhou, it has its own plans! ”

He said: "Limit Cao Cao to Qingzhou, Yanzhou is a leaderless situation of dragons, and the lord also personally sits in Rencheng County, and cooperates with General Zhang Liao to launch an offensive to seize Yanzhou, and at the same time, it can also be a majestic annexation of the state, as long as it is not too deep, it should be no obstacle to come, and when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are almost done, we will attack again, and there will be miraculous results!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fan's eyes lit up suddenly, yes, why did he have to set his sights on Qingzhou? Knowing that you can't do it, this is an unwise move, it is better to open up territory on the one hand, and monitor and contain the movements of Qingzhou on the other, so that no matter what, it is in your own favor and you can be invincible!

At this point, Zhang Fan finally made up his mind, listened to the advice of the military advisors, took a break for a while, and waited for the time to come!
