After the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army climbed onto the city wall, they took out the ropes prepared in advance and tied up the surrendered soldiers of the Jizhou Army. Although there were occasional fists and kicks, no one disobeyed the military orders.

After escaping to the city wall, Yuan Shao ordered his soldiers to gather all the boats in the city in one place. Knowing that the situation was over, he took his important counselors and generals and fled towards Jizhou.

Yuan Shao no longer looked as confident as he did in Dangyin City. Except for the generals, advisors, personal guards, and the first dead soldiers who escaped with him, all the others stayed in Dangyin City. He could already imagine what the fate of the army waiting for him would be.

In this way, without the general's army, will the Bingzhou Army continue to resist? Will the Bingzhou Army give the Jizhou Army a chance to resist? It's not that he doesn't want to lead more soldiers to escape from Dangyin, but the number of ships is limited.

The most terrifying thing is that the water level in the city is also rising.

When they reached the shallow water, Yuan Shao felt down-to-earth for the first time.

"My lord, it's my subordinates who are incompetent." Fengji looked ashamed. In this battle, the Jizhou army was defeated so miserably. Only a thousand people escaped from the 50,000-strong army. It was absolutely huge for the Jizhou army.

blow.

Yuan Shao said with a low face: "As counselors, you didn't find out the intention of merging the state army in advance. It's a pity that we don't have a single talent in Jizhou? It's a pity that tens of thousands of soldiers in Jizhou were buried in Dangyin City."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao's eyes became wet. This time, he felt that he had been defeated too unfairly. He had been plotted by the Bingzhou Army from the moment the reinforcements arrived. The Bingzhou Army clearly wanted to fight to the death with the Jizhou Army.

The most depressing thing about weakening Jizhou's strength was that from beginning to end, they never saw the Bingzhou Army.

"Lord, my subordinates are incompetent!" All the generals and counselors in the field lowered their heads.

After a moment of silence, Feng Ji cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the most important thing now is to return to Wei County and prepare the troops for war in case the Bingzhou Army leads troops."

Yuan Shao also knew that it was not the time to blame everyone, so he gathered his mood and headed towards Wei County at the fastest speed with the Jizhou Army with a panic-stricken expression and covered in mud. Once the Bingzhou Army caught up, it would be the biggest nightmare.

At this time, Yuan Shao no longer knew how to describe his mood. He originally sent troops to Hanoi with high morale. Even if Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Army, he was fully confident that he could defeat the Bingzhou Army because there were four hundred crossbows in the army.

These bed crossbows are a weapon for victory. Thinking of the bed crossbows in Dangyin City, Yuan Shao felt a little tight in his chest. The cost of making bed crossbows was not small.

Lu Bu's army did not encounter any decent resistance in Dangyin. Even if there were soldiers who were loyal to Jizhou, they were quickly eliminated by the Bingzhou army. Seeing that there was no trace of Yuan Shao and others in Dangyin City, he hurriedly ordered Zhang Liao to lead his soldiers to pursue them.

In just one day, the water in the city receded. At this time, Dangyin City can only be described as dirty and messy. Many houses were destroyed, and the floating corpses also stopped after encountering obstacles.

Corpses of soldiers or civilians can be seen everywhere.

Ordering the soldiers to clean up the city, General Lu Bu and other important generals gathered together to discuss the attack on Jizhou. After defeating Yuan Shao, even if he could not capture Jizhou without losing money, Yuan Shao would still be worried. Since he provoked the Bingzhou army, there would be

The understanding of paying the price.

In Yanzhou, although Cao Cao felt sorry after learning that Lu Bu had occupied Hedong, Yuan Shao's attack on Hanoi made Cao Cao relieved a lot. Without the Bingzhou army, it would be easy for the Yanzhou army to defeat Hongnong and Henan Yin. Jingzhou may covet these two.

Due to lack of strength, we can only use some careful thinking in secret. The land of Sanfu is extremely important. If it weren't for the Jizhou Army, maybe Lu Bu's goal after conquering Hedong would be Chang'an.

Lu Bu gathered an army of 40,000, and Cao Cao was really worried about Yuan Shao. Unlike other princes, the Bingzhou army mobilized a relatively small number of troops every time he went on a campaign. However, Bingzhou always used a small number of troops to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.

What kind of combat power would the 40,000 soldiers and horses mobilized this time? Could it be that Lu Bu wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize Jizhou?

Most of the Bingzhou Army withdrew from Hedong, and Cao Cao also started his big move. At this time, Shanyang had gathered an army of 50,000 people. He wanted to drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou in one fell swoop. Xuzhou's heart was towards Jingzhou, and the distance between Yanzhou and Xuzhou

They have quite a lot of grievances. If Liu Bei is not eradicated, Cao's army will have to beware of Xuzhou even if they attack other places.

Sun Ce attacked Jiangxia in the name of avenging his father. Cao Cao did the same, ordering Xiahou Dun to lead five thousand soldiers as the vanguard of the army, and personally led the soldiers to attack Xuzhou.

Fifty thousand troops entered Xuzhou, and the counties and counties along the way watched the wind and surrendered. This time, Cao Cao strictly ordered his soldiers not to infringe on the people in the slightest.

Cao Jun did not massacre in Xuzhou, and many Xuzhou officials were relieved to open the city gates to welcome Cao Jun into the city. The aristocratic families in the city did not mind taking refuge in Cao Jun. Under Cao Cao's rule, the aristocratic families also survived. As for suffering at the hands of Cao Jun in the past

It was because of Tao Qian's fault, otherwise Cao Jun would not have massacred the city.

In troubled times, aristocratic families also wanted to seek refuge with more powerful princes. Although Liu Bei was in charge of Xuzhou, he was very kind to others, but compared with Cao Cao, it was still far behind. In the past, if the Jingzhou army had not intervened from behind, Xuzhou would have been captured by Cao Cao's army.

Facing the overwhelming power of Cao's army, Liu Bei was also panicked and hurriedly summoned his civilian and military generals to discuss countermeasures.

When Cao Cao originally sent Cao Ren to attack Henan Yin, Liu Bei received a secret order from Liu Biao. Jingzhou and Xuzhou divided Yuzhou and Jiujiang equally. Cao Cao defeated Jiujiang, which made Liu Biao very uneasy. On the one hand, he was afraid of Cao Cao's strength, and if Cao Cao really got

Knowing how to make the bed crossbow is definitely very bad news for the Jingzhou Army.

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao would not let Xuzhou go so easily. Not to mention how deep the hatred between the two was, Cao Cao coveted Xuzhou.

"Yuanlong, what should we do now that Cao Jun is aggressively attacking Xuzhou?" Liu Bei turned his attention to Chen Deng. In Xuzhou, Chen Deng was the one he valued most. With Liu Bei's support, Chen Deng became the largest family in Xuzhou.

Even the Cao family cannot compare with this. Although Cao Bao's daughter married Liu Bei, there are fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the army. Even if Cao Bao wanted to, it would be difficult for him to interfere too much in military affairs. In comparison,

, after Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, it was the Chen family that took the biggest advantage.

"My lord, Cao Cao's army is coming with great momentum at this time, and his plans are not small. Cao Cao's ambition is to capture Yuzhou and Jiujiang, but now he is attacking Xuzhou. We should send envoys to Jingzhou, and we can also send envoys to Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou to ask for help."

Chen Deng Gongshou Tao.
