Finally, there were no pursuers.

It's safe in Liyang, too.

However, Yuan Shao couldn't be happy, and looked back at the remnants of his subordinates, as well as the injured Yuan Xi, Gao Gan and others, who suffered heavy losses in this battle, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Since I started the army, I have fought dozens of battles, and I never imagined that I would be so embarrassed today!"

"Just Cao Agui, you can still defeat me in a row, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family are not as good as a eunuch."

"This day you want me to perish!"

Yuan Shao exclaimed sadly.

It seems that he has completely lost his self-confidence and returned to the state of depression he once was.

Yuan Shu is gone, Yuan Shao is the heir of the Yuan family, and he is also the strongest prince at present, but he can't even beat a eunuch.

What else can I do?

The eyes of the people of the world are all gathered on the battlefield of Yuan Cao's dispute, Cao Cao shines, and Yuan Shao flees.

It was difficult for Yuan Shao to accept this fact.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable his heart became, as if there was a breath in his heart, and the feeling of depression was even stronger, and suddenly he couldn't breathe, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his body shook a little, and he fell to the ground.

"Father!"

Yuan Shang was shocked and immediately hugged Yuan Shao, who was about to fall.

When Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi saw this, they also hurriedly walked over, and when they saw their father like this, they also cried out and felt unprecedented despair.

"You say, 'What should I do?'

Yuan Shao looked helplessly at the strategists beside him.

At this time, he felt regretful again, he shouldn't have listened to Tian Feng's words, let alone killed them, otherwise he would have a chance to turn over, and now he has to rely on Guo Tu and other great smarts, he feels that he must be unreliable.

If it was reliable, it wouldn't have been so badly defeated.

"My lord, our army was defeated, but it was not completely defeated, we still have a chance."

At this time, the judge said: "Our opportunities are all on the lord, if the lord can cheer up, give hope to the soldiers, and with the heritage of our four northern states, we can fight Cao Cao again." ”

"You're right, my defeat is only temporary, not outright."

Yuan Shao took a deep breath and continued: "Take me back, pack up the soldiers and horses, and then fight with Cao Apu, and fight it out!" ”

"Mr. Xin, Mr. Guo, you and Xiansi will go back to Qingzhou for rectification, firstly, to prevent Cao thieves from violating the border, and secondly, to recruit troops and horses to collect grain and grass."

"Xian Yi returned to Youzhou, and Yuan Cai returned to Merge State."

"You all regroup my troops and horses for me, and then come to Yecheng."

"This time, and the last battle, either Cao Cao dies, or I die!"

Yuan Shao said unwillingly.

He was ready to go out and fight Cao Cao for the last time.

Yuancai is the word of Gao Gan.

"Yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

Yuan Shang listened, and was secretly happy in his heart, his father still kept himself by his side, which showed that his status was higher than that of the other two brothers, as long as he could block Cao Cao, the four northern states would be his own inheritance in the future.

They rested for a while in Liyang, then left here and went back to Yecheng.

Yuan Tan and the three of them left separately, went back to recruit troops and horses, and fought a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

——

Cao Cao chased all the way and also arrived at Cangting.

Seeing that Yuan Shao could still be killed, Cao Cao couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and said: "Yuan Benchu's life is as hard as Liu Bei!" ”

Cheng Yu's ambush on all sides was used very well, but it was really a pity that he couldn't kill Yuan Shao in this way.

"Yuan Shao has a deep heritage, and it is difficult to destroy it in one or two battles, but in the past two years, Yuan Shao has suffered two consecutive defeats, even if the background is deep, it is almost consumed, and it can't withstand the blow."

Cheng Yu analyzed: "This time, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight directly to Yecheng, Yuan Shao can't withstand the third defeat." ”

Not only did he think so, but the other strategists also agreed to pursue Yuan Shao to the end, and they couldn't let Yuan Shao go, and they definitely couldn't let Yuan Shao slow down, and if they wanted to fight, they would fight to the end.

"Take Liyang first, and then march to Yecheng."

Xun You said: "If Yecheng is taken, Jizhou is almost in our hands, and it is easier for other states to fight again." ”

Cao Cao agreed: "Pass the order, the whole army will camp and rest in place, and march to Liyang early tomorrow morning." ”

When the order was laid, the army stopped and set up camp.

They also have to take stock of the situation after the war, liquidate the battle after the battle, how profitable they were, and so on.

Chen Zhou had no interest in these, and still returned to the rear army, and began to think in his heart, Zhen Mi now, I don't know if he is in Yecheng or Zhongshan.

According to the time, it should be in Zhongshan, because he has caused many events to happen in advance, and he may not have married Yuan Xi yet.

When he thought of Zhen Mi, Chen Zhou thought of Cao Shan again.

His wife is pregnant at home, but he can't accompany him at home, which is a bit of a pity, and after this battle, he has to go back as soon as possible.

Early the next morning.

Chen Zhou set off with the army, went to Wei County together, and soon came to Liyang.

This city must be defeated.

Only by controlling Liyang can we control Jindu on the edge of the Yellow River, communicate smoothly with Baima on the south bank, and not be cut off by Yuan Shao, and facilitate the transportation of grain.

However, Yuan Shao wants to cut off their retreat, and with his current ability, it is difficult to do it.

When Liyang's guards saw Cao's soldiers approaching the city, they all stood up and quickly launched a defense.

When attacking Liyang, Cao Jun did not use too many skills, basically attacked strongly, directly attacked the city wall, successfully entered it, and controlled this important city.

After entering Liyang, Cao Cao learned from the scouts that Yuan Shao had fled back long ago.

After beating Liyang, the next thing to fight is Yecheng.

But Yuan Shao's side, when he learned that Cao Cao had reached Liyang, was shocked and ordered Yuan Shang to lead his troops out to intercept Cao's army, so as not to give Cao's army a chance to kill Yecheng.

As a result, Yuan Cao and the two sides were temporarily at a stalemate outside Liyang.

"I didn't expect that Yuan Shao's background is not as shallow as we thought."

Cao Cao saw that another group of Yuan troops were intercepted outside Liyang, and sighed: "He is so fast, he can gather tens of thousands of people in Jizhou and intercept them outside Liyang." ”

Chen Zhou said: "Yuan Shao's background is profound, but once Yuan Shao dies, there will be nothing." ”

"Is Du Zhi saying that Yuan Shao will die?"

Cao Cao asked unexpectedly, "Who can kill him?" ”

Chen Zhou said: "It's not to kill, but that he will die by himself, with the lord's understanding of Yuan Shao, he should know that his qi is not very good, he has suffered such a big defeat in a row, and he is only afraid that he will vomit blood after going back, a person who does not have enough qi is not very easy to be depressed, he can't get angry, this breath is suffocated, it is easy to kill him." ”

Cao Cao thought about Yuan Shao's character, nodded approvingly: "Yuan Shao's qi is indeed not large, but according to Du Zhi, it is possible that Yuan Shao will be angry to death by us?" ”

"It's possible."

Chen Zhou said confidently: "I conclude that Yuan Shao's life will not be long, and he will not live long, once Yuan Shao dies, no matter how much Yuan Shang and them toss, it will be meaningless." ”

Cao Cao listened, full of anticipation.

When Yuan Shao is angry to death, then Yuan Shao's sons are definitely not his opponents, and it will not be easy to abuse them again.

In fact, Chen Zhou still has some words to say, Yuan Shao is dead, and his sons will kill each other, not to mention it!

However, such a prediction is too shocking, Chen Zhou decided not to say it for now, and when the Yuan brothers are fighting, he will use it to operate, maybe even flooding Yecheng can be saved.
