These things can be used again, and Lu Bu will naturally not let them go with his good habit of being thrifty.

After the soldiers packed up the battlefield, Lu Bu left Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, and 20,000 troops to station in Yi County.

Lu Bu himself took the remaining army and Yuan army prisoners to Youzhou north.

Of course, when he went north to Youzhou, Lu Bu asked the messenger to rush forward. When Yuan Shao led the army to Qingzhou, he brought a message to Cao Bao, asking him to lead the army to withdraw Qingzhou as soon as possible, so as not to be attacked by the army led by Yuan Shao and the Qingzhou soldiers led by Yuan Tan!

Because the messenger rode agile war horses, he kept going, so he was naturally faster than Yuan Shao and the others!

The messenger rushed to Qingzhou and saw Cao Bao who was leading a large army to surround Linzi. Then, he told Cao Bao that Lu Bu's message to him.

Cao Bao naturally had no objection to Lu Bu's retreat order!

Now Yuan Shao is coming, and Yuan Tan, who is in charge of Qingzhou, is about to gather the troops from Qingzhou. In addition, Cao Cao's army, who will take advantage of the chaos to enter Qingzhou to get a share of the pie. Cao Bao knew that if he continued to stay in Qingzhou with 10,000 navy and some Qingzhou surrendered troops, he would eventually be destroyed by Yuan Shao or Cao Cao.

After all, Qingzhou is not adjacent to Lu Bu's forces Youzhou and Pingzhou, and has no support. Although he has led his army to occupy a Le'an Kingdom and also caused chaos in Qingzhou, he is no match for Yuan Shao or Cao Cao now!

Therefore, Cao Bao needed to lead the army to retreat immediately, and go back and forth wherever he went!

So, it is not known that his father Yuan Shao has led the army south to rescue Qingzhou. With Yuan Tan's expression of confusion and gladness, Cao Bao led the army to retreat, then left Qingzhou by boat and headed north to Youzhou.

However, Cao Bao was not a loser. When he left Qingzhou, he emptied all the money and food in the Le'an Kingdom occupied by him led 10,000 navy.

Of course, the money and grain that Cao Bao evacuated was the money and grain in the treasury of various counties in Le'an Country, and belonged to Yuan Shao!

As for the money and food of the gentry and the people in Le'an Kingdom, Cao Bao did not take any of them!

After all, his son-in-law, Lu Bu, will not be the only one in Youzhou and Pingzhou, the two states, will lead a large army south to occupy more territory and population!

Including Qingzhou!

Therefore, Cao Bao naturally could not snatch money and grain from the gentry and the people in Qingzhou, corrupting Lu Bu's reputation, making the gentry and the people in Qingzhou resentful of Lu Bu, which would be detrimental to Lu Bu's future entry into Qingzhou.

When Yuan Shao led a large army to Qingzhou and then joined Yuan Tan in Linzi, he found that Cao Bao had already left with 10,000 navy and some Qingzhou surrendered troops, Yuan Shao was so angry that he jumped.

Yuan Shao also planned to keep Cao Bao and 10,000 navy troops, giving him a profound lesson to Lu Bu, who was extremely hated but could not do anything about it.

However, Cao Bao and the others had already left Qingzhou, so it was naturally impossible for Yuan Shao to get what he wanted!

However, when Yuan Shao learned that Cao Bao and the others had left Qingzhou, they had emptied all the money and food in the Le'an National Treasury, Yuan Shao was even more furious.

"Hmph! Old Cao Bao, shameless! Like that guy Lu Bu, he is a shameless villain!" Yuan Shao could no longer bear it in front of everyone, and cursed Cao Bao.

However, when Yuan Shao received a piece of news that made him feel bad, Yuan Shao stopped scolding Cao Bao.

Then he changed his target and cursed another person regardless of his own image.

When his eldest son Yuan Tan saw it, he suddenly felt shocked.
