Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and his mood was terrible.

He set up heavy troops and ambushed Sun Ce, but in the end he was escaped by Sun Ce.

Wei Wuji's Wuzhe Legion suddenly appeared, rescued Sun Ce, met with Sun Ce, and retreated to Heyang.

What Yuan Shao is left is a Chaoge City that has been reduced to ruins.

"The person who rescued Sun Ce should be Xinlingjun, who commanded Wei Wuzu."

"Xinling Jun is worthy of being a famous general in the Union of the Zong to attack Qin, and Wei Wuzhu is the main force of Wu Qi. Even in the hands of Xinling Jun, he can exert a certain strength."

"We fought for a Chaoge City for two months."

"Since Chaoge City has been taken down, it's time to meet with Cao Cao."

Ju Su and Tian Feng had to do it step by step, go to join Cao Cao and work together to siege Heyang.

The Eastern Han army gradually eroded Sun Ce's territory, and Sun Ce's territory was only Heyang City, north of the Yellow River.

In Heyang City, Sun Ce led the remaining troops to break through Cao Cao's defense line, enter the city, and meet with Zhou Yu.

"Bo Fu, are you okay?"

"Chaoge is lost."

Sun Ce can finally rest after removing the broken armor.

Taishici, Ling Cao, Zhu Zhi, Pang Juan, Lu Su and other military generals were all lying on the ground, panting.

They fought with Yuan Shao's soldiers all night, and defeated the troops sent by Cao Cao to intercept. Then they arrived at Heyang City, almost exhausting all their energy.

Ling Cao's body showed countless scars.

"Bo Fu, you have been guarding Chaoge for two months and have tried your best. Even if the city falls, it is not your fault. Next, try to defend Heyang. As long as you defend Heyang, the main force of the Han army will not dare to cross the river."

Zhou Yu is as insightful as to the situation.

It was precisely because Zhou Yu was defending Heyang City that Cao Cao could only lead elite cavalry to go south to attack Xia City, and was defeated by Wu Qi.

Otherwise, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army would not be able to win even if the general was Wu Qi.

Wei Wuji, Zhu Hai, and Sun Ce entered Heyang City, with more than 100,000 troops.

This is the last city in Hanoi County. It guards this city, restrains Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's troops, and defends Heluo with one city.

Heyang City has become a must-fight place for military strategists.

By conquering this city, the Eastern Han army could take Heluo at any time.

"When will Zhang Hua's reinforcements arrive?"

"The lord competed in the Central Plains and defeated the powerful enemies one after another. It took a lot of time. I believe he will come to help soon."

Wei Wuji was not sure either.

There are many princes in the Central Plains, and it will take a lot of time for Zhang Hua to pacify the heroes of the Central Plains.

In fact, the speed of Zhang Hua's sweeping Nurhaci, Gao Huan and Zhao Kuangyin was already very fast.

Nurhaci was defeated and died, Gao Huan fled to Jingbei, Zhao Kuangyin was defeated in one battle, and the three heroes either died or fled.

Within a few months, even other lords may not be able to eliminate the three great princes.

In Cao Cao's camp, Yuan Shao and his soldiers came to meet with Cao Cao and surrounded Heyang City.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou guarded around Yuan Shao, and his armor was still stained with blood. He obviously experienced a fierce battle.

"Yuan Benchu, why did you siege Sun Ce Yu Chaoge?"

Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's release of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce suddenly led his troops to attack Cao Cao's defense line and entered Heyang, causing the death of a military general under Cao Cao and the loss of more than a thousand people.

"Cao Aman, do you think I deliberately let Sun Ce go? If Wei Wuzhang hadn't killed him in the middle, I would have captured Sun Ce's young boy alive."

Yuan Shao didn't be polite to Cao Cao, and picked up a jar of wine in Cao Cao's tent and drank it to tons.

Cao Cao's eyes were twitching, which was a fine wine he had collected for a long time.

Yuan Shao led his troops to join Cao Cao. At this time, Ju Su, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other strategists gathered in the same tent, and there were many strategists.

However, Zhang He, a famous general of Yuan Shao's power, surrendered to Cao Cao, and Ju Yi and Yuan Shao were incompatible. The only powerful generals under Yuan Shao were Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

In contrast, Cao Cao's lineup of military generals is even more luxurious.

Dian Wei was like a wall, standing behind Cao Cao, staring at Yan Liang, Wen Chou.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were frightened when they saw Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was already dead before the Battle of Guandu and failed to fight with Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

And Dian Wei in this world is still alive, looking down on Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were a little afraid of being glared at by Dian Wei.

If Dian Wei was still alive, maybe Guan Yu would be out of Guandu.

"Yuan Benchu, why are you here?"

Yuan Shu was escorting food and grass to Heyang City, and was shocked to see Yuan Shao also here.

"Why can't I be here? I have broken Chaoge and made great contributions."

Yuan Shao always despised Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Highway, you were three days late for transporting grain."

Cao Cao also despised Yuan Shu and accused Yuan Shu of not transporting grain in time.

Yuan Shu was furious: "The ice and snow melted, the road was muddy, so it took three or two days to delay it, so what? Isn't it just delayed it for three days? You can't starve to death!"

"Military orders are like mountains, and your food truck is coming late. That is your fault and should be dealt with in accordance with military law!"

"Cao Aman, do you dare to touch me?!"

Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were not in the way of dealing with each other, and the two almost fought.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao all saw that the other party was unhappy, but under Liu Xiu's pressure, they had to join forces to attack Sun Ce.

Yuan Shu didn't want Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao made a meritorious service easily and deliberately neglected the transportation of grain.

But Yuan Shu was afraid of Liu Xiu's punishment, so he dared not neglect for long.

"I heard about Ju Su for a long time and Tian Feng was a famous scholar in Hebei. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary."

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Yuan Shao's advisers Ju Su and Tian Feng got along very well.

These strategists are their leaders, giving advice and planning for each other.

Now the lords of these strategists referend to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, so they are strategists in the same camp and do not have to fight for life and death.

"You guys are not bad either."

Ju Su and Tian Feng also appreciate each other's mutual understanding of Cao Cao's advisers.

Just when Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were quarreling, the Grand Tutor Deng Yu came to enter Cao Cao's tent. Cao Cao and the other three were silent for a moment.

The Grand Tutor Deng Yu and the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai ranked first.

It’s not that Deng Yu is very strong in using troops, but that Deng Yu has a deep relationship with Liu Xiu.

"It seems that you three have a close relationship and are in harmony."

When Deng Yu heard the excitement inside, he thought that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao had a good relationship.

However, these three people almost got together in a real sense.

As a general of Liu Xiu's power, Yuan Shao said to the arrival of the Grand Situ Deng Yu: "Did the Grand Situ come here, but did you bring His Majesty's edict?"

Deng Yu nodded: "The princes of Yanyun attacked each other and were unable to take care of themselves. The pressure in the north was greatly reduced. Your Majesty planned to end the war here as soon as possible and then send troops to fight for Yanyun. If Yanyun and Hebei were occupied at the same time, there were both good horses and populations, and it would be difficult to seize the world?"

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu raised an army in Nanyang, but the land of Longxing was Hebei. He also used the Youzhou cavalry to finally defeat the princes of the same era, gained the world, and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Nowadays, Liu Xiu's strategy remains unchanged.

Hebei has a large population and Yanyun produces good horses, which are important resources for fighting for hegemony.

"So what does your majesty mean?"

"Geng Yan, General Wu Han personally led a 100,000 army south to join you and conquer Heyang with 300,000 troops within 15 days. Don't let Your Majesty down."

"Abide by the order!"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao learned that Liu Xiu sent another army to the south, and knew that Liu Xiu was already a little dissatisfied with their slow progress. He had a serious expression and gathered the troops in his hands, waiting for Geng Yan and Wu Han, among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, to arrive, and then concentrated their troops to capture Heyang City.

...

"Cao Bin, since you are a close relative of the Zhou family, now Chai Rong has been resurrected from the dead, why not surrender?"

Zhang Hua summoned Cao Bin, a captive general of the Northern Song Dynasty, in Songzhou.

Cao Bin's expression was calm: "I lost the news of the old master and had nowhere to follow him, so I served Zhao Kuangyin. Now that the old master has returned, I have become a prisoner again. If I don't dislike it, I am willing to serve."

This is a very cautious general who is timid and timid towards his lord.
