The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan came to an end.

Cao Cao handed over Beiqiu's defense, and after attending the celebration banquet organized by Yuan Shao for three consecutive days, he said to Yuan Shao: "Liu Youzhou has recruited cavalry, and after Bogui's defeat, he has worries about the future, and it is difficult to stay in the Bohai Sea for a long time. He will return to Ji County. Jizhou has been receiving troops for years, the people are exhausted, the officials are floating, and there is the disturbance of the Black Mountains in the west, so I think that the general might as well calm down and rest for a while. County, and then wait for the spring of the next year to watch the changes in Youzhou before making plans."

After Gongsun Zan was defeated, he retreated all the way to Bohai County.

Earlier, Yuan Shao was afraid of Gongsun Zan's military power and gave the seal of the Bohai prefect to his younger brother Gongsun Fan, which was equivalent to giving Bohai County to Gongsun Zan.

Bohai County is close to the sea, with a large population and the benefit of fishing and salt. It is a relatively prosperous and large county.

Guo Tu and other strategists were worried that Gongsun Zan would definitely be able to get sufficient supplies of troops, horses, food and equipment in the Bohai Sea, and to gather the remnants. In this way, although he lost a game, he would be able to recover quickly. They will definitely attack the Shao army again. Instead of waiting for others to attack, it is better to take advantage of the great victory of our own army. Now we will send troops to attack Bohai County, and strive to defeat one of the generals, so that not only can Gongsun Zan's forces be completely eliminated from Jizhou, He will burn the next war on his territory, and be able to cut off the connection between Youzhou and Pingyuan County, so that Tian Kai's department will be isolated, so that the Shao army can be surrounded and defeated.

Qu Yi and many other generals who are eager to make further military exploits agree with this view and hold a favorable attitude.

But Cao Cao disagreed, so he said this to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao has a certain political vision and strategic vision, and he agrees with Cao Cao's point of view.

As Cao Cao said, although the Shao army was victorious, the situation in Jizhou was still not optimistic. After years of military competition, not only the people were tired, but there was the disturbance of Montenegro in the west, and more importantly, "the soldiers and officials floated".

When Gongsun Zan's army was in full swing, most of the counties and counties in Jizhou surrendered or wanted to surrender to him. From this, it can be seen that the hearts of the soldiers and the people in Jizhou have "floated" to what extent! To fight against the outside world, we must first settle the inside. The immediate priority is not to pursue Gongsun Zan, but to take advantage of the power of this great victory to immediately start to rectify the interior, and dispose of all the county magistrates who are riding on the wall, both ends, Zeng and Gongsun Zan. Those places that are arrogant and arrogant must also come up with means to rectify them.

Although he agrees with Cao Cao's opinion, what makes Yuan Shao difficult to make a decision is that the Bohai Sea is too close to Wei County. From the most southwestern part of the Bohai Sea to the most northeastern part of Wei County, there is only about 200 miles. After some vitality, he attacked again, didn't he miss a good opportunity?

Yuan Shao pondered for a long time and said, "Meng De, listen to what you mean, do you think that Liu Youzhou and Gongsun Bogui will have a battle?"

Liu Yu is famous and virtuous, but unfortunately he does not know how to fight. Zhao Qi wrote to him a while ago, saying that he would attack Gongsun Zan together with Yuan Shao. Although he did not get along with Gongsun Zan, he knew that he was good at fighting, and he hesitated until he started recruiting in front of the day. Buqi, it was just too late to catch up with this battle.

However, although he was unable to participate in this battle, the troops he recruited were still there, and he was still recruiting, which was bound to be a danger to Gongsun Zan. Cao Cao said: "Just as the hearts of the scholars in Jizhou are fluctuating, the general should sort them out first, and Gongsun Bogui must also have the same intention. With the new defeat of Bogui, he urgently needs to boost his morale. Liu Youzhou can be used as a sharpening stone for him."

Yuan Shao thought about it again and again, and said, "Meng De's words are very true."

Therefore, Yuan Shao decided to follow Cao Cao's suggestion, retire his troops to support the people, and watch the movement of Youzhou first, and then discuss the matter of entering the war.

Seeing that Yuan Shao agreed with his opinion, Cao Cao felt relieved.

The reason why he advised Yuan Shao not to rush to fight the Bohai Sea was, on the one hand, because he did judge that Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu would have a fight, and on the other hand, because of the situation in Yanzhou, Mount Tai was captured by Xun Zhen, and Xuzhou's sword was already in Yanzhou. His neck was on his neck, but Liu Dai still failed to break the Yellow Turban. Yanbei was in chaos, and the situation in Yanzhou was increasingly unfavorable to his and Bao Xin's plan.

Thinking of Yanzhou, Cao Cao was worried, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest.

He said to Yuan Shao, "Since the general intends to take a break and reorganize the state, then I will return to Dongjun tomorrow."

Hearing Cao Cao's mention of Dongjun, Yuan Shao thought of Yanzhou, Yanzhou, and Xunzhen. Yuan Shao was deeply in the city, hated in his heart, and calmly said, "That's fine. Liu Gongshan has no military commander. , sit back and watch the Yellow Turbans invade the north, Xuzhou attack Mount Tai, and nothing can be done, Meng De knows that the soldiers can fight, it is time to return to Dongjun earlier and help Gongshan."

After a pause, Yuan Shao said again: "Ying Zhongyuan fled to me from Mount Tai and told me that Xun Zhenzhi was very coveted in Yanzhou, saying that he was a hero of tigers and wolves, Meng De, you and Zhenzhi were good friends in the past, or Knowing the person, do you think Zhong Yuan is right?"

Cao Cao sighed and said, "When I met Zhenzhi in the past, I only felt that he was kind and righteous, but now, I don't know."

Yuan Shao said in his heart, "If Xun Zhenzhi is willing to take Yanzhou to the fullest, Liu Gongshan is unstoppable. I have no time to look east now. Meng De is good at fighting, but I can use him to defend against Xuzhou." Qingba Beiqiu, protect the right wing for me, the merit is high, I will lend Qing soldiers 5,000, and I will return to Dongjun first, if I can help Gongshan break the Yellow Turban, and keep the prefecture, I will go to the court in the future, for the sake of Your Excellency, please seal your thanks."

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he thought: "Please give me a blessing?"

He is now the general of Xingfenwu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the prefect of Dongjun. If there is another veneration, it is obviously impossible to wait for the heavy generals in the front, back, left and right. There are only two possibilities, either to be a marquis, or from The prefect of Dongjun has been promoted to another level, and it may be the shepherd of Yanzhou.

There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, and even if there is no temptation to "entitle the worship", the five thousand soldiers borrowed by Yuan Shao are enough to make Cao Cao overjoyed. Strike the Yellow Turbans from the north, and guard the state and borders."

The next day, Cao Cao led his headquarters and the 5,000 soldiers lent to him by Yuan Shao set off for Dongjun.

The soldiers and horses that Yuan Shao lent him were divided into two battalions, and the battalions were Jiang Qi and Zhu Ling. Cao Cao and him were both familiar with each other, and they got along quite harmoniously. Returning to Dongjun that day, I received a secret letter along with the military newspaper.

The secret letter was written by Bao Xin.
