"Gentlemen, something is wrong!"

The soldier said nervously,

"The third prince has just sent a team of soldiers to search for them in the camp, and they are about to come over this way!"

When Xin Ping and the others heard this, their faces couldn't help but change greatly.

They never thought that Yuan Shang would really make a move on them all when Yuan Shao's bones were still cold!

"What are the three gentlemen waiting for? Why don't you leave with me? ”

Guo Tu was in a hurry and hurriedly urged.

"Okay, let's go!"

Xin Ping and the three of them no longer hesitated, and immediately followed Guo Tu and left the camp.

By the time Su You brought people over, the tent was already empty.

"Rubbish!"

Hearing that Guo Tu and the others had fled, Yuan Shang couldn't help but be angry, and scolded Su You loudly.

Su You's face was embarrassed, and he stood here with his head down, not knowing what to do.

The judge on the side was comforting,

"The lord's seal is in the hands of the son, we only need to forge a copy of the lord's will, even if Guo Tu and they escape, what can we do?"

Yuan Shang's face softened at this time, and he nodded,

"What the gentleman said is very true!"

At this moment, Su You seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said,

"Childe, Tian Feng is still in prison, what should I do?"

Yuan Shang didn't want to say it,

"This man is disrespectful to my father, and he should be beheaded for public use!"

On the issue of heirs, Tian Feng had suggested many times that Yuan Shao should be appointed as the heir.

This was also hated by Yuan Shang.

Now that he is in power, he will choose to take revenge on Tian Feng!

"Subordinates obey!"

Su You led a team of men and horses and went straight to the prison where Tian Feng was imprisoned.

Tian Feng also knew the news of Yuan Shao's death, and when he was secretly sad, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Su You and others coming.

"What are you doing?"

"Mr. Yuan Hao, now on the orders of the lord, I am here to send you on your way!"

Su You said with a cruel smile.

"Lord, which lord?"

Tian Feng subconsciously said.

"Of course it's the third son!"

Su Youhe laughed and glanced at the soldiers on the side.

The soldiers stepped forward and handed their glasses to them.

Looking at the poisonous wine in the wine glass, Tian Feng showed a miserable smile.

"The bones of the lord are not cold, and the third prince is busy competing with the eldest prince for power, so how can they compete with Cao Cao for the world?"

"The poor lord Yingming I, who was finally defeated by Yang Ling, not to mention, created a huge family business, and also destroyed it at the hands of his son who was inferior to pigs and dogs."

"It's pathetic, ridiculous!"

"Lord, my subordinates are here to accompany you!"

He took the glass and drank the poisoned wine.

A moment later, the poison attacked, Tian Feng's body shook, and he fell to the ground.

"Before dying, there is so much nonsense!"

Su You kicked Tian Feng's body, motioned for the others to bury him, and then walked away!

……

A few days later, Cao Jun was in the camp.

Cao Cao was gathering Yang Ling, Guo Jia and others to discuss the military.

Just then, a scout hurried over.

"Prime Minister Qiyu, I just received the news that Yuan Shao was seriously injured a few days ago and recovered!"

Hearing this news, everyone in the tent was overjoyed!

Yuan Shao is Cao Cao's number one rival, and now that he has gone west, it means that Cao Cao's unification of the north can save a lot of trouble!

However, Cao Cao in the hall had an extremely complicated complexion, and even sighed.

This made everyone a little puzzled.

However, others don't know Cao Cao, but Yang Ling can't know his mind very well.

Although the two are now facing each other, as early as decades ago, they were inseparable friends!

Now that he heard the death of his childhood friend, how could he not make Cao Cao regret it in his heart?

"Prime Minister, no matter what, Yuan Benchu is also a hero, and he should be rewarded in the name of the imperial court."

Yang Ling proposed softly.

"What Ziyi said is extremely true."

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia with some interest,

"Fengxiao, you can draft an official document for me in the name of the imperial court."

"Subordinates obey!"

Guo Jia nodded.

At this moment, Xu You suddenly spoke,

"Prime Minister, what should we do next?"

Cao Cao touched his chin and looked at everyone with a deep groan,

"What do you mean?"

Xu You has served under Yuan Shao for so many years and knows the internal situation well.

With his understanding of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, after Yuan Shao's death, the two brothers will definitely fight for power.

Therefore, he planned to suggest that Cao Cao temporarily hold his troops still, and wait until Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had broken their heads and blood, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman!

However, before Xu You could speak, Yang Ling smiled and said,

"My subordinates think that it is best for the prime minister to withdraw from the army."

"Why is that?"

Cao Cao said with a look of surprise.

"Although Yuan Shao was defeated before, he has not yet broken his muscles and bones, and there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses hoarded in Hebei."

"If the prime minister insists on attacking at this moment, even if he can take Hebei, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory."

"Rather than that, it's better to take the initiative to withdraw from the army."

"Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have always been at odds with each other in order to inherit Yuan Shao's power."

"If the lord takes the initiative to press, they will definitely join forces to deal with the lord first."

"But if the lord withdraws, the two of them will gradually become suspicious, and it is very likely that they will fight."

"After they are both defeated, the lord will make another move to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch will follow, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Yang Ling smiled unhurriedly.

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he praised with a smile,

"Ziyi is really smart!"

"What General Lang said is very reasonable."

Xun You twisted his beard and smiled,

"Besides, we have been fighting fiercely with Yuan Shao for so long, the army is already exhausted, and the rear supply is also a little tight."

"Retreat first, and watch the fire from the other side is the right way!"

Seeing that everyone also agreed with Yang Ling's opinion, Cao Cao smiled and nodded,

"Okay, according to what Ziyi said, let's retreat first!"

Xu Yu on the side couldn't even insert a sentence, and suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart.

This bastard Yang Ling, how could the plan he thought of be dedicated to Cao Cao in advance by him.

It's really annoying to me!

But looking at Yang Ling, who was trusted by Cao Cao, Xu You could only grit his teeth with hatred and forcibly suppress the anger in his heart.

……

With Cao Cao's order, the mighty army once again returned to the north bank of the Yellow River on a warship.

After several days of trekking, they finally returned to Xudu.

Although Cao Cao did not take Hebei this time, as long as people who are not blind, they can see that it is a matter of time before the north is unified.

After all, even the eloquent Yuan Shao is not Cao Cao's opponent, and even died because of this, who in the world can stop Cao Cao?

Outside the city of Xudu.

Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, took Empress Fushou and a group of civil and military officials to greet Cao Cao outside the city gate.

I saw a mighty army coming from the north, and the person at the head was Cao Cao.

Before arriving at Liu Xie's car, Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty!"
