When Yuan Shao's army retreated, Chen Yan finally joined Zhang Liao, at this time Zhang Liao's thigh was punctured, blood flowed, Chen Yan was distressed, and hurriedly sent someone to help Zhang Liao bandage the wound.

Zhang Liao felt ashamed in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper: "Junlang, I'm really sorry, if it weren't for my lack of skill, I wouldn't have let you lose face in this battle array." ”

Chen Yan only remembered Zhang Liao's comfort in his heart, how could he care if he could defeat it, not to mention that it was already very difficult for Zhang Liao to fight against two people with the strength of one person.

Chen Yan immediately said: "General Wenyuan, the two of them beat you one, it is already extremely shameless, plus these two people are the four great pavilion pillars of Hebei, the strength should not be underestimated, you are one against two, and you can fight for more than a hundred rounds without defeat, such a rare means is enough to deter the world, this time let Yuan Shao know that there is a Zhang Wenyuan in our army!" ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his heart was hot, and he immediately smiled and nodded.

Chen Yan asked again: "I don't know what level this Gao Ran and Zhang He are?" Individually, I don't think either of them is your opponent. ”

Zhang Liao is a steady person, no matter what he says, he naturally has his basis, so Chen Yan is very relieved of Zhang Liao's words, and now he asks each other, but also wants to get the exact news of the enemy from Zhang Liao.

I only heard Zhang Liao say: "These two people are good at spears, Gao Ran's internal strength is good, and his marksmanship is spicy, he is indeed a hard hand, but this guy seems to be stuck in the situation, although he is a steady and experienced gunman, but he can't be regarded as a top hand, but that Zhang He makes me feel a little terrible." ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Zhang Liao to praise Zhang He who stabbed himself so much, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Zhang Liao said: "At this time, Zhang He is younger than Gao Ran, if I expect it to be good, this Zhang He's marksmanship is far less skilled than Gao Ran, but this guy is aura, it can be seen that he is a flexible person, the most important thing in marksmanship is to respond to the enemy, this Zhang He is still young at this time, but he has already entered the ranks of the four pavilion pillars, over time, I am afraid that the ability is unlimited!" ”

Chen Yan was silent when he heard this, at this time there are only a few people in the world who are good at using guns, but Chen Yan has only seen Ma Chao in Xiliang and Sun Ce in Jiangdong, the strength of these two people should not be underestimated, I am afraid that they are already above Zhang He.

There is also Zhang Xiu, the king of guns in the north of Chen Yan's army, Zhang Xiu's marksmanship is a famous division, although the ability may not be as good as Sun Ce and Ma Chao, but it is also rare and strong, and now there is an extra Zhang He, I don't know who is the strongest spear in this world dispute.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly remembered Zhao Yun, according to the chronology, Zhao Yun should still be in Gongsun Zhan's army at this time, but he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to meet him?

Chen Yan's love for Zhao Yun far exceeds that of other generals who use guns, but unfortunately there is still a Yuan Shao between him and Gongsun Zan at this time, if he wants to find Zhao Yun, then he must first get rid of Yuan Shao, which is not an easy matter, not to mention that at this time Yuan Shao and Cao Cao Bacheng have been united, which is a headache for Chen Yan.

At this moment, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and I saw Jia Xu riding a horse over.

Chen Yan looked at it, and saw that Jia Xu's robe was in tatters, and there was still blood on the corners of his mouth, obviously he had suffered a lot of injuries in the battle with Zuo Ci.

Chen Yan was puzzled in his heart, and said secretly: "Nanhua Old Immortal should be much stronger than Zuo Ci, if Jia Xu is really Nanhua Old Immortal, shouldn't Zuo Ci be hurt like this, right?" ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yan hurriedly hit his horse over and asked, "Mr. Jia Xu, have you ever been injured?" Where is Zuo Ci? ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, lord, I am in good health, but I have suffered some minor injuries, Zuo Ci was repelled by me and has already left Puyang City." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, at least send Zuo Ci away, this guy is too dangerous, and it is definitely not comparable to Cao Cao. And Jia Xu is also safe and sound, and now this battle has indeed made Chen Yan trust Jia Xu a little more, although he still suspects in his heart that Jia Xu has some connection with Nanhua Old Immortal, but after all, Jia Xu sacrificed his life to save him, which is enough for Chen Yan to understand his loyalty.

Chen Yan sighed and said slowly: "Cao Cao has been rescued by Yuan Shao, let's let him go for the time being, and then go back to the city, this time the casualties are not light, and the soldiers are also tired, I am afraid that they will need to recuperate for a few years to recover." ”

Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, indeed, Chen Yan did unify the Central Plains, but the price of such a reckless military effort was heavy. Not to mention that the number of soldiers has been greatly reduced, that is, there has been a serious shortage of food, grass and military salaries, if you don't dive down to recuperate, then Chen Yan is likely to follow in Cao Cao's footsteps.

After discussing it, Chen Yan took Jia Xu and Zhang Liao and led the army to retreat towards Puyang City.

In the distance, in front of Dunqiu Harbor, Cao Cao was still bargaining with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's intention was obvious, if Cao Cao wanted to get his help at this time, then he had to show enough sincerity, and this sincerity was obviously to Cao Cao to place all his family members in Yecheng.

In this way, Cao Cao will always be restrained by Yuan Shao, and he will never have a chance to turn over.

This problem is not a small problem for Cao Cao, Cao Cao is a careerist, for him, losing the opportunity to dominate the world is equivalent to letting him die.

What's more, Cao Cao at this time still had to succumb to his old friend Yuan Shao, which was a great shame. Cao Cao has always felt that he is stronger than Yuan Shao, but now, he has to bow down to Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning tightly.

At this moment, Xun Yu suddenly leaned over and whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "Yue Wang Goujian." ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, Xun Yu's meaning was obvious, hoping that Cao Cao could follow the example of King Goujian and become a king.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth violently, suddenly nodded and said, "Okay, originally, I promised you that in the future, my wife and children will have to trouble you to take care of them!" ”

When Cao Cao's generals heard this, they were all greatly surprised, and they were greatly puzzled by Cao Cao's tolerant attitude.

Yuan Shao was very arrogant, and laughed loudly: "It's easy to say, Meng De, we are all old brothers, and there are old brothers under us to do things, so I can sleep peacefully, hahaha, in this case, why don't you see the lord soon?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, and Xiahoudun waved his spear and shouted angrily: "Meng De, don't be a vassal to him, let's go back and fight with Chen Yan!" ”

Cao Cao turned his head and shook his head gently, and then slowly dismounted, ignoring the obstruction of the soldiers behind him, slowly bowed to Yuan Shao, and shouted in his mouth: "The last general Cao Cao, see the lord's ......"
