The loss of Guandu was a great blow to the coalition army, and Cao Cao wanted to recapture Guandu, after all, the Jiangdong Army only had thousands of men, but Zhang Fan led the army to chase after him, and he had no way to stay for a long time, so he could only sigh and turn to Chenliu.

There are too many things that have happened in this day, Cao Cao seems to be a teenager old, he thought about giving up when he was in Qingzhou, and then he was aroused by Xun Yu Cheng Yu and others, at this time, that feeling came to his heart again, devouring his whole body strength, and the whole person seemed to collapse.

Jizhou is in full swing, and the princes of the world either suffer heavy losses or waver, and the burden is all on him and Zhuge Liang, almost crushing.

Since Cao Cao's debut, he has played triumphant songs all the way, leveled the yellow scarf, except for Dong Zhuo, and the fierce generals have come to vote one after another, and it can be said that the mix in Yanzhou is prosperous, and the strength is estimated to be a little weaker than Zhang Fan, but now?

Yanzhou was defeated, Qingzhou fell, Cao Jun's soldiers sprinkled loess with blood, corpses and bones piled up, and one after another fresh lives left him, these are all people who are willing to die for him!

Cao Cao didn't know how he returned to Chenliu, but he didn't collapse like before, and now he is no longer representing himself, but thousands of dead people, if he can't let these people die as they deserve, how dare he give up?

The look of his eyes recovered after half a day, his waist straightened, he had not yet reached the point of desperation, although the tiger and leopard cavalry died, but the overall loss of the army was not too great, there were nearly 200,000, as long as the troops guarding the banks of the Yellow River were recalled, he also had 300,000 troops, not without the power of a battle, the only thing that made people sigh was that Cao Ren died in battle, and the coalition army was far inferior to Zhang Fan in terms of top combat power, which had to be guarded against.

Zhuge Liang was also hit hard, but he was not the kind of person who would give up easily, his eyes flashed slightly: "Now that Zhou Yu and Zhang Fan are united, the Jizhou army lineup has reached its peak, although our army still has an advantage, but the morale of the army is unsustainable, and Chenliu is a lonely city, which cannot be defended!" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "I have already planned, since I can't hold it, I won't defend it, I want to lead the army back to Yanzhou, gather the remnants there, and turn around to unite with Yuan Yin to fight against the chaos!" ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, I have to say that Cao Cao is an excellent commander, once he comes out of the shadows, his thoughts are extremely meticulous, and he can find hidden fighters, in fact, they have no other way to go, this time the defeat is fatal, the world is shaken, it is estimated that the princes around the country will no longer risk the risk of insufficient troops in the garrison to send troops, they can only rely on themselves!

Now Guandu and Zhongmu are lost, Chen Liu has become a lonely city, although there are more or less defenders in each city, but it is difficult to gather, Cao Cao can not cross Zhang Fan's pass to convene, simply Chen Liu is close to Yanzhou, and Zhou Yu because he wants to cooperate with Zhang Fan to fight and did not regain the entire territory of Yanzhou, the formation of the defenders of each city is quite complete, although the number is not much, at least it is a supplement.

At this time, Yangzhou is in an emergency, Yuan Yin can't defend it for a while, but the so-called long-term defense must be lost, and he has to be saved, if he can gather Yanzhou soldiers and horses to go south, he will have the opportunity to defeat Xu Shu's division first, and then he can unite with Yuan Yin to attack Zhang Fan, which can be regarded as finding a glimmer of life from the Jedi.

Cao Cao fled from Qingzhou to Yangzhou, and then turned to Sili, and now he has to go back, including Yanzhou was once lost, which is an indelible pain in his life, but he must now endure the pain, the big husband can bend and stretch, Zhang Fan wants to fight a decisive battle and destroy the main force of the coalition army in one fell swoop? I can't let him get his wish!

Now Cao Cao is also out of the question, even if he is still defeated by Zhang Fan in the end, he will lurk, slowly develop his strength, and unite people with lofty ideals to participate in the feat, just like when he dealt with Dong Zhuo.

"But the turmoil is much more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao sighed, left the city overnight, and fled back to Yanzhou while Zhang Fan had not yet reacted.

Cao Cao's evacuation made Zhang Fan feel a trace of danger, but the army was tired after a long battle, and the Sili area had not been completely recovered, and it was likely that there would be a fire in the backyard if he attacked rashly, so he could only temporarily slow down the offensive, after all, Yanzhou was Cao Cao's base camp, and he must make adequate preparations if he wants to attack.

"Prime Minister can rest assured, before I came, I had wreaked havoc in Yanzhou, making its city ruined and full of wilderness, and completely destroying the defenses from the inside, and it would not be difficult to attack at that time!" Zhou Yu smiled faintly, he was not an unwise person, he had already made perfect arrangements when he learned that he was going to give up Yanzhou, and now the entire Yanzhou is almost in a state of defense, although it is not foolproof, but the chance of winning the attack is still very great.

Zhang Fan nodded, he was naturally relieved of Zhou Yu, and now he can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Sili, the main force of the coalition army fled, and the remaining small forces of guards and horses are not a problem, and there is no need for the main force of the Jizhou army to take action, just those players who are arranged in Jiguan can recover them one by one, Zhang Fan is also happy to see it, first, it can be used to restore the combat power of the players, and secondly, it can be regarded as giving them some combat exploits, and it is good to routinely reward them in the future.

Up to now, Jizhou has completely risen, Zhang Fan has taken the most critical step, which has made the whole world shake, and the princes of Liu Xie's camp are trembling, similar to Liu Zhang and others who have closed their doors one by one and made defensive postures, all focusing on self-preservation.

Wang Yun panicked, and Emperor Xian was even more pale, they were afraid that Zhang Fan would attack Chang'an directly, they didn't have much strength to defend, and they couldn't hold on at all.

"The time of life and death has come, and the orthodoxy of the Han is in jeopardy!" Wang Yun let out a big speech, wanting to encourage the princes to stand up again, there are still responders, but no one dares to go to the front again, the Jizhou army is too fierce, like a flood of fierce beasts, Zhang Fan is even more invincible commander, even the state Lu Bu, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xiliang Ma Teng were defeated, they fought is not equivalent to death?

It can be said that now if Zhang Fan wants to turn the gun and take Chang'an directly, everything will fall into place, and no one can stop him, but he did not choose to do so, compared to a "puppet emperor" regime that has not been able to turn over the big waves, what he wants to solve most is Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, if these two people are not removed, he will not be able to sleep well.

In fact, he really can't act rashly, Yanzhou and Yuyang are close to each other, although Cao Cao doesn't dare to say that he came to Zhang Fan's trouble for the time being, but he will definitely unite with Yuan Yin to form an offensive and defensive alliance, with the courage of Cao's army, Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Xu Shu's soldiers and horses are definitely not opponents, if Zhang Fan is greedy to go in and kill Liu Xie, it is equivalent to selling Xu Shu, and also gave Cao Cao an excuse for revenge, so that the army and the people are united and the combat power is stronger.

Zhang Fan directly took down Chen Liu, making it look like a soldier entering Yanzhou, once Cao Cao's defense appeared hollow, or if he wanted to help Yuan Yin, he could attack him from behind and defeat him in one fell swoop!

Now that Zhang Fan occupies the absolute initiative, he can move however he wants, and if Cao Cao wants to act recklessly, he will not be destroyed!
