Yuan Shu didn't know that this was Tang Quan's trap, but he began to shirk it with joy on his face, but the scheming Tao Qian glanced at Tang Quan and said:

"Yuan Highway is indeed the best candidate, I think it is feasible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Tao Qian spoke, and a group of people said so, Yuan Shu pretended to shirk but put away the jade seal, and prepared to escort the jade seal back to Nanyang in the near future.

Cao Cao was still thinking about the emperor and the captured officials in his heart at this time, he frowned and looked at Yuan Shu in secret joy and said:

"Okay, the matter of the jade seal is resolved, how can the princes decide on Dong Zhuo's defeat? Is it to chase after it or to let it go? ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said:

"Meng De, we have been fighting hard in March, and the grain and grass collected from all over the country are about to run out, at this time to chase, if we fall into a tug-of-war, our army may not be on the road, not to mention that Dong Thief is retreating and transferring rather than fleeing, along the way he only needs to set up ambushes or guard the pass at dangerous places, and we will only suffer losses when we go forward, I think it is better to wait for the next year's military food to be enough for us to fight again?"

Cao Cao was originally a shrewd person, and he was also a handsome man who was good at fighting, but it was a pity that he still had a foolish heart at this time, so much would be managed, what Yuan Shao said was true, the lack of food and grass was still secondary, Dong Zhuo's army actually did not have much loss, and the combat power still existed It is a big problem.

Tang Quan surrendered more than 23,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 infantry troops in Tiger Prison Pass, and the more than 10,000 killed were nothing, because they were all Bingzhou troops who followed Lu Bu to take refuge, and there were only more than 15,000 people left in Bishui Pass in the end, who were also soldiers of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, and only Lu Bu and Huaxiong really lost Dong Zhuo, plus Zhang Liao to take refuge in Tang Quan.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo's retreating troops were at least more than 400,000, and if he arrived in Chang'an, he would have an army of 500,000.

"What about you?" Cao Cao asked, staring at the others.

"I'm short of soldiers and horses, and I can't keep up with the grain and grass, will I go after Dong Zhuo to find death?" Gongsun Zhan asked directly without shaking Cao Cao's gloomy face.

"Meng De settled down for the time being, if you want to make it overnight, you can only lose more, it's better to think of a plan and act again." Tao Qian shook his head and said.

Cao Cao saw that everyone else was like this, he turned his head to look at Tang Quan, who was sitting in the first place, and said:

"I wonder how the hussar chooses?"

Most of Tang Quan's subordinates are cavalry, if he chases his troops is the most stable, but without food and grass supplies, he will be dragged to death, of course, Tang Quan's space ring has enough food and grass in this world, even if it is a 100,000 army assault, it can last for a few months, not to mention that he still has a billion years of living materials, this war has no impact on him.

As a hussar general, of course, he can't be like everyone else, he tapped his fingers on the table and said:

"In this way, Taozhou Mu, Han Zhou Mu and Kong Taishou are temporarily stationed here, and the remaining food of the other military rations after retreating will be handed over to me, Meng De can send troops first, I will train the cavalry and then set off, and the other adults will temporarily withdraw and wait for the opportunity."

Tang Quan's arrangement was very strange, so strange that Cao Cao didn't understand it at all, he frowned and looked at Tang Quan and asked:

"Why did you arrange it like that?"

Tang Quan said very solemnly:

"Originally, I was right, the enemy army is still strong, if we try our best to pursue the alliance, nine times out of ten will fail, it is better to leave the elite soldiers to try to raid, as many enemies can be destroyed, so as to ensure sufficient food and grass;

As for leaving Tao Zhoumu and the others, it is because I haven't experienced too many fierce battles, they can be used here as our defense, even if we are defeated and retreated, we can slow down here, what does Meng De think? ”

Cao Cao's face was entangled, Tang Quan's words had already explained that this battle could only be a surprise attack and not want to win a complete victory, he nodded and said:

"In that case,, let's do our best."

Tang Quan thought of a joke in his heart, and suddenly he remembered that the joke was useless, that is, the name of Cao Cao and Jiang Gan was a joke, in this era, the other party's surrender is generally a position or trade name, which will make you call the other party and dry, to say that he is also a self-proclaimed, think about this scumbag thing, Tang Quan nodded to Cao Cao and said:

"Meng De be careful along the way, although Lu Buhuaxiong was killed, Dong Zhuo's general division is still the same, the march should be slow rather than urgent, be careful not to fall into the other party's calculations."

"Thank you, general, one step ahead."

Cao Cao withdrew from the Chinese military tent, looking at the sky that was about to fall into the night, Tang Quan looked at Yuan Shao and the others and said:

"Let's go back to the camp and get ready, and see how much grain and grass we have left to send to the camp."

Yuan Shu was in charge of military rations, and at this time, he was secretly happy when he had just received the jade seal, and he hurriedly said:

"The hussar general and your lords have 100,000 horses, and if you gather a stock of grain and grass, it will be enough for the army to spend more than a month."

Tang Quan nodded and said:

"Hmm...... It's already good, I'll let Kong Beihai come to transport grain tomorrow morning, okay, everyone is scattered, and when there is a chance to continue the crusade against Dong Thief. ”

They each withdrew, but Tao Qian and the others did not leave, and after chatting for a while, Tao Qian looked at Tang Quan and asked:

"Hussar intended to let Yuan Shu get the jade seal before, right? This person is arrogant and ambitious, and sooner or later he will bring disaster because of the jade seal. ”

Tang Quan smiled:

"Gongzu has good eyesight, the jade seal is not stable in the hands of any of us, if my future father-in-law leaves this thing, I dare to say that I will be killed if I can't return to Changsha, although I am not afraid of things, but because of my identity here, if I take the jade seal, others will definitely say that I have ulterior motives;

As for Brother Gong Zu and all of you, only the brothers of the Yuan family are not afraid or care, the fourth world and the third prince have a good reputation, and no one will trouble him when he gets the jade seal, but Yuan Shu's ambition to get the jade seal will breed, and sooner or later the disaster will cause trouble. ”

Tao Qian smiled:

"Hussar Lord, I have a lot of people in Xuzhou who have been to Chengyang, I heard that where are your workshops are full of fertile fields, the small Chengyang has a population of almost two million, but the food is sufficient, all kinds of materials are complete, the officials are honest and the people are rich;

Before sending out the army, the Mi family moved with his family, and tens of thousands of people went with him, and I heard that he sold all his land to jointly operate the mines with the Hussar Mansion, and the merchants pursued profits, but their vision was not bad, and they could choose to rely on the Hussar Lord, which showed that he was relieved that the Lord's territory would not be attacked.

The military power of Xuzhou was originally subordinate to the hussar general's mansion, and he knew that his fate would eventually go, but the two sons in the family were incompetent, so he planned to hand over the Xuzhou Prefecture to the adult to settle the destiny. ”

Tang Quan frowned, Xuzhou is a big state, with a large population and relatively wealthy, and the combat strength of the Danyang soldiers is not bad, even if it is a war everywhere, it may not affect much.

If Xuzhou is in Tang Quan's hands, there will be more benefits, a wider territory, more population and land, and more mineral resources, all of which he is calculating.
