Rao is Zhang Liao, Zhiyong, but if Cao Xiu has an accident, he really can't take responsibility, if this guy is Cao Cao's son, then there is nothing to do with Cao Pi.

But he was still a step late, as soon as Cao Xiu fell off the horse, Gan Ning laughed and jumped off the horse, knocked Cao Xiu unconscious with one palm, grabbed it and threw it on the horse's back, jumped on the horse and went away, returning to the formation.

As soon as Wei Yan saw the Cao army attacking, where would he hesitate, and with an order, the Youzhou army advanced steadily, and the arrows rained down on the Cao army.

Yuan Xi has already created the Zhuge Repeater, and after such a long time of replacement, all the crossbowmen in Wei Yan's army have already been replaced with this equipment.

Now Zhang Liao suffered a big loss, such a dense number of arrows, the front army was immediately shot into a honeycomb, screams, cries one after another, this is the damage caused by information asymmetry.

Before he could stabilize his position, the earth shook, and Gan Ning set out again, this time leading all the cavalry to press, Zhang Liao hurriedly asked Cao Hong to press the formation, and he personally led the cavalry to meet it.

Cao Hong understood that the general trend had gone, and Zhang Liao was creating an opportunity for himself to retreat with the whole army, because Cao's cavalry had suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and Zhang Liao did not bring many cavalry himself.

At this time, Zhang Liao was completely in a state of desperate fighting, and rushed directly to Gan Ning, Rao is Gan Ning's strength was a little higher than him, and he couldn't suppress a person who fought for his life.

Half an hour later, the Cao army withdrew from the battlefield, Zhang Liao was seriously injured and was snatched back by his subordinates, after all, the difference in numbers, coupled with the morale was not as good as the Youzhou army, he could not withstand the siege no matter how fierce he was.

Cao Hong withdrew his army for thirty miles, and the whole army withdrew from Julu County, and the messengers of both sides sent a message to him, and Cao Cao was surprised when he received the news.

Yuan Xi received the news that Xun Chen immediately made the decision to increase the troops in Jizhou, and Yuan Tan, who had just arrived in Jicheng, led his troops south again, and Yuan Shang also relieved himself and ordered the remnants of Jizhou to stabilize the territory.

At this time, Jizhou was not all attacked by Cao Cao, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shang mainly in Wei County, and then pursued all the way north to Guangping County, and was defeated by the Youzhou army when he entered Julu County.

The army in Wei County only incidentally occupied Guangping County, Yangping County, as well as most of Pingyuan County and Qinghe County, and the rest of the places were still controlled by Jizhou officials, but there were not many troops.

Cao Hong and Zhang Liao were defeated, Cao's army withdrew from Julu County, and Yuan Tan immediately went straight to Pingyuan County when he went south, and next door to Pingyuan County was the Qingzhou Thorn History Department.

After Yuan Shang defeated Yuan Tan, he didn't even change the officials, he was originally a family, and the county commanders and Quhou of those counties were mostly Yuan Shao's old ministers, so there was no need to change the court at all.

Besides, the officials in this era are almost all children of big families from all over the world, and most of the officials are children of the Han family, even if they are occupied by Cao Cao, he also wants to use these people.

Except for some positions of a strategic nature, there will be almost no change in management, not because they don't want to change, but because they can't find so many people to change.

Scholars are concentrated in the family and the poor family, and the people do not know how to read the management knowledge.

The Hanmen are not ordinary people, they are also a family that cultivates and reads heirlooms, but they are just small families, and the people are called common people, which is the real general public.

Don't think that the poor are ordinary people, most people are not qualified to be a poor people.

The so-called Hanmen is actually a collateral lineage of the family, formed after the decline, just like Guan Yu was born in a cold family, Master Guan's grandfather was a petty official, his father was a servant, and the family classics were Spring and Autumn.

To put it in an inappropriate way, that is, the big families are big landlords, the poor are small landlords, and only the landlord class can afford to let their children study.

There are no traitors such as Xianrong on the Yecheng side to open the city gate, and they have always insisted that it has not fallen now, but there have been countless dead and wounded in the city, and even women have been requisitioned to defend the city.

Cao Cao originally wanted to capture Yecheng in one go, but when he learned that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had regained their strength and went south, he was worried that the back road would be outflanked, so he could only stop the siege and discuss countermeasures.

"The lord sent someone to contact Yuan Shang, except for Liyang, Jizhou can return all the others to him, and there is only one condition, that is, to return Wen Lie unharmed."

Guo Jia smiled at the suggestion, Cao Cao squinted at him inexplicably and said, "Yuan Xianfu is not a fool, he won't doubt such a small price?" ”

"Don't underestimate the desire of the people's hearts, after this battle, Yuan Laosan wants to take back the dominance of the Yuan family, only to turn his face with Yuan Xi, let's just add a fire."

How could Cao Cao not understand this simple truth, what he questioned was whether Yuan Shang was so stupid, knowing that he could not resist his own attack, and he turned his face with Yuan Xi, it was not a self-defeating way.

But after Guo Jia said this, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others unanimously chose to support, and Xu You even pointed out: "Meng Demo must forget, that kid Xianfu has been spoiled by his roots since he was a child, and it is impossible for him to bow to Xianyi, as long as there is a slight opportunity, he will not let go." ”

Everyone in the tent agreed with his words, but they were very dissatisfied with him, a person who came to defect, and the name of Cao Cao was called Cao Cao, not to mention the word lord, even Sikong had never been called such a name.

Xu You should have a broken head, sending people under the fence without knowing it, a person who can't even figure out his own positioning, can still be called a celebrity if he loses.

On the contrary, it was Cao Cao, who didn't seem to care, and seeing that everyone agreed, he nodded and said, "Then send someone to take a trip." ”

On the Yuan family's side, Yuan Xi also rushed to the city of gall, the three brothers sat together, and even the maids and servants were kicked out, and the door was closed to decide the future of the Yuan family.

"Big brother, it's best if Qingzhou can recapture Nanpi, if not, my brother suggests recapturing the north of the Yellow River and making plans in the future."

Yuan Tan was entangled for a moment, nodded and said, "Then the north bank of the Yellow River, there are less than 10,000 people left under my command, and no matter how much I can't hold on." ”

Yuan Shang's eyes flashed and said, "How does the second brother arrange Jizhou?" My brother listens to you. ”

Yuan Xi looked at him and sighed: "The third brother wants to go back to Jizhou as a brother, but can you keep it?" How powerful his father was back then, it was precisely because of the competition with his uncle that Cao Mengde became bigger, if his father and uncle joined forces back then, I am afraid that the surname Yuan would have been in the world, as for whether it was his father or uncle, did it matter? Look at the cousins, cousins and aunts, now they can only be at the mercy of others in Soochow. ”

Yuan Shang's face turned pale, he lowered his head, and Yuan Tan said: "The only artifact in the world is the one who is virtuous, I am not as good as the second brother, and in the future, only the second brother will be the first to look forward." ”

Yuan Shang glanced up at his eldest brother and understood that the general trend had gone, and after struggling for a long time, he punched himself hard and said, "Cao Mengde sent someone to tell me......"

Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan glanced at each other, and the two of them sneered and said, "What a sitting mountain watching the tiger fight!" ”

"Cao Mengde, this is a repeat of the old trick, it seems to be Guo Fengxiao's poisonous plan."

Yuan Xi continued, stretched out his hand and patted Yuan Shang's shoulder, and said seriously: "The three of us are compatriots, which is different from my father and uncle, so the second brother assures you that if there is mine, you will be yours, and then I will leave it to the military advisor to plan it." ”
