Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 378 Recovering Yanzhou
Cao Hong failed to escape after all. At least this time he was not very lucky and was captured by Ma Dai.

In fact, when the battle came, Ma Dai had already realized that he was pursuing the wrong man, but he was wrong, so he could at least capture General Cao and take him back.

"In other words, this Cao Hong pretended to be Cao Cao and escaped, and you went to pursue him, but the real Cao Cao escaped?" Ma Dai went back to report, and Guan Yu looked at Cao Hong who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and asked casually.

It's a pity that Cao Cao was let go after all.

But I think this is normal. Ma Dai only has a few people, and Cao Cao has thousands of people at least.

At that time, people's troops were divided into two groups. Could Ma Dai still be divided into two groups?
No matter how embarrassed Cao's army is, the numerical advantage is an advantage after all, plus there are powerful crossbows.

Cao Hong's side army and Ma Dai chased it for more than ten miles, until all the opponent's crossbow arrows were exhausted and all the men's strength was completely exhausted, and they were finally defeated with great difficulty.

From the moment he divided his troops, Cao Hong was ready for a fight to the death.

Facing a group of dead soldiers, Ma Dai was inexperienced and wasted some time.

When he turned around and pursued again, Cao Cao had disappeared, and the traces had naturally been specially processed.

It's really easy to get rid of others. Just find a river to cross and deal with the traces on the other side.

Even if Ma Dai chases after him and faces a river, it will not be easy to cross the river, let alone find traces of the other party.

The real purpose of Cao Hong's division of troops was to buy Cao Cao time to find and cross the river.

"I made a mistake in my humble position, so please ask the general to punish me!" Ma Dai took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Forget it, I didn't expect to really catch Cao Cao." Guan Yu shook his head. If he really made a mistake, the biggest mistake would be himself.

Jia Xu said it was a bad move, but he still had to fight in. The result was completely different from what he expected. It cannot be said that it had no effect, it could only be said that it failed to achieve the expected effect.

After all, Cao Cao ran away. If he wants to catch him, he will have to wait until next time, or maybe the next time.

On the contrary, he killed an important military advisor of the other party, which was considered as breaking his arm.

Less than three days later, news came from the north: Zhang He defeated Cao Ren's tribe, recovered Pingyuan Kingdom, and was heading towards Qinghe County.

After Cao Ren was defeated, he probably also knew the situation of the Battle of Juancheng, so he retreated to Jinan County.

Guan Yu stayed in Juancheng for three days to investigate the conditions of the tunnels. Finally, he felt that there was no need to preserve them, so he blocked them all.

The imperial court does not need passive defense, and in this case there is no need for these tunnels.

Instead, these tunnels were left open to give some gangsters the opportunity to commit crimes.

Jia Xu didn't say anything. Based on the current battle situation, there was probably no need to use this tunnel anymore.

However, Xu Shu came back with a bit of resentment.

After all, he was tricked by Jia Xu, and he hurriedly fought with Du Xi, and later participated in the pursuit of Cao Cao.

The results were quite good, but they were somewhat disgraced.

"Yuan Zhi, you sneaked out of the army quietly and went to the village outside Linqiu to set up an ambush?" Guan Yu then looked at Xu Shu.

"Following the military advisor's instructions, my subordinates went over there to set up an ambush..." Xu Shu replied.

"Military advisor, why didn't you tell me?" Guan Yu looked at Jia Xu, mainly because no one had reported this matter to him.

"If we had known about this, Cao Jun might not have gone eastward," Jia Xu replied.

Although Cao Jun fled in a hurry at that time, with his wisdom and Guo Jia's plan, he would definitely see through any abnormalities.

If you want to deceive a clever enemy, you must also deceive your own people.

Of course, if Guan Yu is dissatisfied, he will be a little dissatisfied. Jia Xu can't even trust himself. Working with him is a bit unpleasant in the end.

But I have to admit that Jia Xu's planning ability is very powerful, and even Cao Cao's advisers are no match for him.

Without his help, I might have been tricked by Cao Cao.

At that time, let alone defeating Cao Cao, what he really needs to worry about is how not to be defeated by Cao Cao.

The matter came to an end, and Yanzhou was now undefendable, and the army began to advance rapidly.

Zhang He and Ma Dai stayed to guard Dongjun. Guan Yu led his army all the way south, and the light army went straight to Shanyang County.

There is no need to bring so many people. Cao Cao only has a few people there, let alone Liu Chong's thousands of people.

By the way, since Liu Chong surrendered, he naturally could not continue to be King Chen.Liu Bei made him a general and put him under Guan Yu's command.After defeating Cao Cao, there will obviously be further transfers.

Liu Chong was also happy to get rid of the title of prince. The princes of the Han Dynasty received too many restrictions.

Now that the world is in chaos, but in the future, if the world is peaceful, I will have to hand over all my military power, and I will have to continue to eat and wait for death.

But if there is a problem with the Han Dynasty, who will help Liu Bei or his children and grandchildren?
Fortunately, Liu Bei was not a heartless and unrighteous person. Liu Chong expressed his stance at this time. Although he accepted the title of King Chen, he still granted him the title of Marquis of Chen and granted him three thousand households.

Now Liu Chong led thousands of elite troops to attack Shanyang.

On the surface, 'Guan Yu' is the leader, but in reality he is in charge.

As the Battle of Juancheng came to an end, Wei Yan, who pretended to be Guan Yu, no longer needed to pretend to be Guan Yu, and joined Liu Chong as a military commander.

He was somewhat of a rogue, after all, Liu Chong had thousands of people under his command, and they were originally his soldiers.

As a result, Wei Yan became a military commander and took over the military power of 1000 men from Liu Chong.

There was more than one like Wei Yan, and basically all of Liu Chong's middle-level officers were divided.

This is also a normal thing. Thousands of elite private soldiers are the result of reorganization.

Otherwise, King Chen initially recruited an army of [-] soldiers, and he was conservative with [-] soldiers. If he had to obey Liu Chong, it would not be a good thing for the court.

Liu Chong didn't care. He had been repaired by Liu Hong once before, which almost scared the kid to death.

After that, his political consciousness improved a little, but not much, thanks to the guidance of his Prime Minister Luo Jun.

Luo Jun is indeed a wise man, and he really devotes himself to assisting Liu Chong.

The former Prime Minister was replaced and he was directly accused of false accusations. For this reason, Liu Chong almost died.

After Luo Jun's enlightenment, Liu Chong also understood the principle of 'if you want to get something, you have to give something'.

Anyway, as a general, this army is still under his control, so that's fine.

The people above will mix sand for you, which is a basic operation.

Liu Chong didn't have to give it, but this move would make Liu Bei doubt his purpose.

"General!" Hearing that Guan Yu was coming with his army, Liu Chong responded personally.

"Marquis Chen does not need to be polite!" Guan Yu also dismounted his horse and said, "Now it is urgent to obey the authority, otherwise normally, Marquis Chen should be in charge!"

Liu Chong had an advantage that their four sworn brothers could not compare with, that is, he was a member of the Han clan with eight hundred respects.

Although five servers have been released, clan relatives are naturally more worthy of being close to than sworn brothers.

"Now, General Guan is the leader. The army cannot have two generals!" Liu Chong said.

Liu Chong's attitude was very low, which made Guan Yu relax.

As Liu Chong said, the army cannot have two generals.

When the time comes, Liu Chong will be in trouble if he insists on going against himself on some matters.

Within two days, news was received that Li Qian, who was guarding Shanyang, had led his army to leave and enter Taishan County.

Guan Yu looked at the map and saw that there were Rencheng State and Lu State to the east of Shanyang County. If the enemy retreated to Taishan County, it would mean abandoning these two counties.

It's not that big to say the least. A county only has three or four counties under its jurisdiction.

The problem is that there is no danger to defend. Not to mention these two counties, Cao Cao of Dongping County in the north and Jibei Kingdom have obviously given up.

In other words, Cao Cao has completely abandoned Yanzhou and relied on Qingzhou and Xuzhou for defense.

Continuing to the south, Pei State blocks the way, and to the east, Taishan and Jinan counties block the way. Unless Jinan is captured within these two months.

But with so many counties waiting to be conquered, it is obviously impossible this year.

This is also Cao Cao's purpose, to use the territory to buy himself time.
