Chapter 347 Chain Reaction

Yuan Shao showed a thoughtful look, and nodded slightly.

At this time, Xu You hurriedly said: "I think we should send someone to the general to see what the general will do. If the general can send heavy troops out of Huguan and attack Yanzhou from the direction of Yecheng, then we can still Continue to move eastward, and get back the previous losses from Cao Cao with profit!"

Xu You's suggestion seems to be more beneficial to Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu on the side agreed tacitly: "What Ziyuan said is very true. I also agree to send people to Chang'an. I ask the general to send heavy troops out of Huguan and attack Yanzhou from the direction of Yecheng."

Yuan Shao hesitated again, sending people to Cao Cao seemed to be the top priority, but it seemed to be more beneficial to his side to ask the Northern Army to send troops.

The judge pointed at Xu You and shouted: "Xu Ziyuan, Guo Gongze, what is your intention to deceive the lord?" The judge looked very angry, as if Xu You and Guo Tu had stolen his wife.

How could Xu You be afraid of the trial, and immediately retorted, "Judgment, we used the North Army to defeat Cao Cao to recover the loss. What's wrong with that? But you, you opposed the war with Cao Cao from the beginning, and now you are trying your best to instigate My lord and Cao Cao are in peace, have you forgotten that we have a sworn feud with Cao Cao? I really doubt that you and Cao Cao have any collusion!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning and his heart moving.

The examiner blushed with anger, pointed at Xu You and said angrily, "Xu You, you are spitting blood!"

well!When it comes to verbal battles, the judge is far from Xu You's opponent.

The judge seemed to want to say something else, but at this moment, Yuan Shao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted: "Enough! Shut up!"

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed their heads, not daring to speak anymore.

A smug smile flashed across Xu You's face, while the judge's expression turned even uglier.Yuan Shao's words just now seemed to stop the two of them, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was actually going to the judge.Yuan Shao obviously believed what Xu You said more.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing and dull.

After a long while, Yuan Shao said, "What the two gentlemen said makes sense. Well, how about we send envoys to both sides, what do you think?"

hehe!This approach is really typical of Yuan's style!

Xu You and Guo Tu immediately praised Yuan Shaoying's name.The judge originally wanted to persuade, but seeing the situation in front of him, he could only sigh in his heart.

In the end, Yuan Shao decided to send envoys to Chang'an and Yanzhou at the same time.As for the punishment of Yan Liang and Gan Ning, Yuan Shao accepted the judge's opinion and decided not to punish them for now.In addition, in order to prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of the momentum to attack Chenliu and Zhuojun, Yuan Shao sent [-] reinforcements to the two places respectively. The [-] troops sent to Chenliu were led by Yan Liang, and the reinforcements sent to Zhuojun were led by Sun Jiang. Gan Ning was in charge of the defense work.It can be said that Yuan Shao's handling of the latter matter was very appropriate.

Because Yuan Shao was worried about the situation in Chenliu and Zhuo County, the [-] reinforcements set off on the second day.Most of the [-] reinforcements sent to Zhuo County were still soldiers from Gan Ning's right battalion, and Yuan Shao added another [-] to him.It needs to be explained here that after the main force of the Right Battalion led by Sun Jiang withdrew to the camp, they did not have a fierce battle with the Cao army who broke through the camp. They turned west and fled to Chenliu as soon as they found out that the camp had fallen. The main force of the right battalion was preserved.

The news of Cao Cao's great victory in the west quickly reached the ears of Liu Bei who was rushing to attack Shanyang. At this time, Liu Bei still hadn't captured Shanyang, although the city wall of Shanyang was already dilapidated.

After hearing the news, Liu Bei didn't speak, and was silent for a long time, and then issued an order to the army, ordering the whole army to suspend the siege.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Jai, who was leading the third army to press outside Yecheng, also received the news of Yuan Shao's army's defeat.This news shocked the generals of Zhang Jaw. They originally expected that the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would take a long time, but they didn't expect the actual situation to be completely opposite. In less than a month, 30 Yuan Shao's troops unexpectedly Was beaten to pieces.

"General Zhang, the situation is suddenly

change, what should we do? "Gao Lan asked. At this time, Gao Lan, Zhang Jai, and Gao Shun were in the tent of the third army. It was dark outside, and the torches in the tent were flickering. Gao Shun and Gao Lan were sitting on the left and right seats respectively, both of them looked a little anxious.

After a long while, Zhang Jai raised his head and said, "Yuan Shao's army was defeated, and Cao's army will definitely shift its forces to Shanyang or to us. Although my third army has 16 troops, it is impossible to fight against Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops. Our army currently has no choice but to temporarily retreat to Huguan and wait for the Lord's order. This book is reprinted on 1 Wenxuewang 6 [-]"

Gao Shun and Gao Lan looked at each other, unable to think of a better way, so they nodded, expressing their agreement with Zhang Jaw's decision.

Seeing that the two generals agreed, Zhang Jai immediately ordered the entire army of the Third Army to march back to Huguan overnight.On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. Once a decision is made, it must not be muddled, otherwise it may fall into danger.

Whether an army is elite or not depends not only on its combat effectiveness and fighting will, but also on other aspects, for example, whether the army retreats in an orderly and rapid manner.

After receiving the order to retreat, the battalions of the Third Army immediately moved into action under the command of the leading general, appearing tense and orderly. In just one hour, the battalions were ready, and the camps were not stationed like other princes. It looked very messy like when the army was retreating, but it gave people a sense of order.

From this point alone, it can be seen that the Third Corps of the Northern Army is definitely an elite division.

The Third Army was fully assembled, and then set off to the north.

The next morning, 15 elite Cao troops arrived in Yecheng, led by Cao Cao himself.Cao Cao planned to concentrate his superior forces and wipe out the Third Army of the Northern Army in one fell swoop.

However, when Cao Cao rushed to Yecheng, he discovered that the Third Corps of the Northern Expedition Army had already left, leaving only a neat and empty camp.

Cao Cao rode his war horse and marched through the empty camp, feeling a little disappointed and feeling a little bit emotional.Followed by Cao Cao are several generals and several important advisers such as Guo Jia.The most elite tiger and leopard cavalry are scattered around, responsible for vigilance.

"Feng Xiao, I feel that there is always a sense of strength in the face of the Northern Army!" Cao Cao was very emotional.

Guo Jia coughed a few times, frowned slightly and said, "Zhengbei Army is not like Yuan Shaojun, they are the real elite of tigers and wolves! To defeat them, you need to work hard!"

Cao Cao nodded, then put this thought behind him, and asked Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, what should we do next? Should we go south to eliminate Liu Bei, or take advantage of the situation and go west to take back Chenliu and Zhuojun?"

"Although Yuan Shao's army has lost nearly 30 troops, it still has 50 troops, and our army's foundation in Xinna Qingzhou is unstable, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army is still weaker than Yuan Shao's army. If it advances westward, it will definitely arouse Yuan Shao's indignation. It will be very bad for our army to fight against our army with all our strength! It will be even worse if the northern army takes the opportunity to send troops south!"

Cao Cao frowned, nodded slowly, and then asked, "Then Feng Xiao means that our army should go south to deal with Liu Bei?"

Guo Jia shook his head, "Liu Bei is very cunning. Under the current situation, he will choose to retreat. Besides, Yuan Shu in the south will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to Xuzhou, so don't worry about the south for now!"

Cao Cao showed doubts on his face. Cao Cao felt that now is the right time to send troops south to attack Xuzhou, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's army's new defeat and setback, and while the northern army is temporarily returning to Fanangu.

Guo Jia continued: "Our army is concentrated in Yecheng for the time being, recharging our energy to make up for the losses. When Yuan Shu and Tao Qian are in a close fight, we will send our troops south. We will surely wipe out several counties in Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao is also a man of far-reaching resourcefulness, and he already understood when he heard this.If the army goes south now, it will definitely collide with Liu Bei, the main force in Xuzhou, and it will only benefit Yuan Shu in the south in the end; but if you wait for a while, after the Xuzhou army and Yuan Shu's army start a full-scale war, and then go south to Xuzhou, the situation will be different. Completely reversed!Cao Jun can take advantage of the situation and sweep several counties in Xuzhou!

Cao Cao's eyes are so bright

Liang said with emotion: "I have filial piety, so why worry about the big things not being done!"

Guo Jia smiled lightly, cupped his fists at Cao Cao, and said, "Your Majesty, I've won the prize!"

A group of people walked slowly in the abandoned camp of the Third Corps of the North Army, and Cao Cao carefully looked at everything around him.Cao Cao didn't come here because of chatting, he wanted to feel the atmosphere of the Northern Army here.

He really felt it. He felt that this atmosphere was completely different from his own side and from any other princes, but he couldn't say where the difference was.

"Why is the Beibei Army so powerful?" Cao Cao finally stopped at the position of the former commander of the Third Army and said with emotion.Looking at the battle flag of the Northern Army on the flagpole, whether it was left on purpose or forgotten to take away, I couldn't help but feel dignified. ! ~!
