. Hearing that Cao Cao, who was going to rob grain in Wuchao, was about to meet him soon, Zhang He couldn't help but have the idea of ​​whether he should take the opportunity to rob and kill. The possibility of success is very high. Judging from the situation where Cao's army camp is protected, Cao Cao's maximum number of troops is only 20,000. Although after the fierce battle just now, most of his soldiers have become exhausted troops, Cao Cao should not be able to go there. Besides, he still has 50,000 new forces that he just arrived, and it is absolutely certain to fight 200,000 to 20,000. Being able to kill the opponent's commander under the horse in front of the two armies is the dream of every brave general. It is the pursuit of every wise general to turn the situation around in an unfavorable situation.

The opportunity that is almost at your fingertips is in front of you, how could Zhang He not be moved?

But his close friend Gao Lan just killed the envoy sent by the lord. With Yuan Shao's temper, even if we won't pursue this matter for the time being because we killed Cao Cao, in the future... Zhang He raised his eyes to Gao Lan.

Gao Lan and Zhang He had a strong relationship with each other, and were also a wise and brave general. When Zhang He heard the news that Cao Cao was leading the army, he knew what he was thinking. So when he saw Zhang He looked at him, Gao Lan pulled out his sword and said, "You and I have been in love with each other for many years. If you killed Cao Gong, Yuan Shao would definitely not punish me again today, but two or three years later... Yuan Shao's envoy was killed by me alone. Please take my head too. With the two heads of Cao Gong and me, the general will definitely be one person below and one person above ten thousand people." After that, he put the sword on his neck and his eyes were straight at Zhang He! That means "Brother, please do it! Brother, I will live or die all depend on your words!"

Zhang He was shocked and hugged Gao Lan and said, "Brother, that's the case. How can I regret it? I'm willing to join Cao Gong's command with my brother."

Gao Lan was overjoyed and put down his sword. Zhang He jumped onto the war horse and shouted: "Yuan Shao was not kind and young, but at least his civil and military disagreement. The strategist was defeated today. Now he has entrusted others to kill me and General Gao. General Gao and I want to join Lord Sikong Cao today. If someone with my brothers is in charge, you can stay here and wait for Lord Sikong to arrive. If someone who wants to return to Yuan Shao, you can leave on your own."

After hearing Zhang He's words, the Yuan army immediately felt a commotion. Among the more than a dozen deputy generals, except for a few, the rest were following the two of them for many years, so they all came to them to express their willingness to follow them.

The Cao army, who surrounded the three sides, found that the Yuan army suddenly stopped, and it was in chaos not long after. Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren, who had already arrived at the central army to meet Cao Hong, looked strange and didn't know what to do. Although they didn't know what happened to the Yuan army, the three people who had led the army for many years knew clearly that what was placed in front of them was a fighter jet that could annihilate the Yuan army on a large scale, but the mission book explained that when the Yuan army retreated, they were not allowed to attack no matter what happened.

These three cousins ​​really want to have a general who is not given the orders of the outside king. But no one dares to take the lead first. Now the commander behind the scenes is the two masters who cannot afford to offend, especially Mr. Fengxiao's preferences are directly related to the family's money bag. Everyone knows that Cao Hong didn't know how to offend him, but after investing a lot of manpower and material resources, he developed a thing called battery. Now it is a reward. Fortunately, other businesses are very prosperous, but those prosperous businesses are also Mr. Fengxiao's idea. In the end, Cao Ren thought of a solution and asked someone to report the situation to the camp through the banner and ask whether to take the opportunity to destroy Yuan Jun.

Less than five minutes later, the camp sent an order! With me, who knew the development of history, was there to be conceivable, and they were naturally not allowed to attack. The three of them were depressed, so don't mention the depression in their hearts. At this time, the Rangers came to report that Cao Cao's team was leading the team and the troops were about to arrive. When the three thought about it, they still asked the lord to decide to arrange for the military affairs to take charge of the military affairs and urge the horse to welcome Cao Cao.

After a riot, about 80,000 people stayed, and the remaining 100,000 people followed a few deputy generals who were unwilling to defect to Cao Cao. After all, the families of these people were all in Yizhou, and many of the Yuan Bings were actually servants of the Yuan family. They hurriedly joined Yuan Shao's camp.

Gao Lan and Zhang He ordered their followers to put down their weapons and took more than a dozen personal soldiers to face the direction of Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao had just met with Cao Hong and others. Cao Hong and the other two stared at Cao Cao in a hurry and hoped that he could order an attack.

Cao Cao looked at the three of them and said, "Since Fengxiao and Wenhe do not allow attacks, they have their own reasons."

Suddenly someone came to report that General Gao Lan of Yuan’s army and Zhang He led 80,000 troops to block the way. He said he was coming to surrender.

After hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "How? If you don't let me wait for the hunt, I must have made a brilliant plan to have a great future to vote."

Although Cao Hong and others were surprised, they naturally would not be rare and strange after experiencing such situations many times.

Xiahou Dun hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhang He and Gao Lan are coming to surrender, but the reality is unknown."

Cao Cao said, "I met him with kindness. Even if I have a different intention, it can change." He led the army forward.

Zhang He and Gao Lan saw Cao Cao coming first and immediately turned against each other and lie down on the ground. Cao Cao dismounted the horse and helped the two of them up, and asked about the situation of Yuan's army at night, and said, "If Yuan Shao is willing to follow the words of the two generals, he will not be defeated. Now the two generals are willing to come and compete with each other. If Wei Zi goes to Yin, Han Xin will return to Han." He immediately ordered Zhang He to be the partial general, Duting Hou, Gao Lan as the partial general, and Donglai Hou. The two were very happy and deeply felt the kindness of Cao Gong's knowledge of his marriage.

The 200,000 Cao troops who went out to fight were beating the victory drum and singing the victory song, and happily came to the camp.

Everyone in the camp went to the door to welcome Cao Cao who returned triumphantly. According to the convention, I should have been at the forefront, Xun You later, Liu Ye, Jia Xu and others stood in turn. But today the team was strange. Where was the weirdness? The person standing in front of the welcome team was Xu You. Seeing him standing in front of the front, we all took a few steps back intentionally or unintentionally, and shone him out in a unique way.

Before Cao Cao came to the camp with joy, he was stunned when he saw this scene, but immediately jumped off the war horse with a smile and pulled Xu You who bowed and bowed to him, and greeted several strategists led by me before going inward.

This battle not only burned Yuan Shao's food and grass, but also destroyed more than 100,000 elite Yuan's army, and obtained famous Hebei generals like Gao Lan and Zhang He, after achieving such a victory, it was inevitable to reward him in terms of merit. Xu You was named General, and the rest of them were promoted.

When I had time, I sent someone to call Gao Shun. I looked at him for a long time and saw that although Gao Shun had a lot of blood on his body, he was relieved that he had no external injuries. He asked, "What are the casualties of the camp in today's battle?"

Gao Shun said: "Mr. Hui, no one in the camp was killed in today's battle, seriously injured 63 people, slightly injured... slightly injured 2,937 people."

Fortunately, no one died in such a large-scale battle. It is a miracle. It is acceptable to seriously injure 63 people, but is there too many people with minor injuries? The soldiers of the Three Thousand Clan camp, except for the sixty-three people who were seriously injured. The number of people with minor injuries was actually 2,937, which means that everyone in the entire Clan camp was injured, not even one intact. I didn’t know if I should be relieved or angry when I heard such a number. I murmured: “I’m all injured!”

Gao Shun reported to me with shameful expressions about his performance when he went to fight in the camp today. When he heard that two boys used their bodies to block Zhang He's war horse to protect his companions, he was also moved with a passionate and funny feeling.

When I was in a military hospital in my previous life, I went to the mountainous area to participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief and encountered a mudslide. When a rolling rock hit the old director, I and another military doctor were not like this. I stood in front of the old director without thinking. Fortunately, the experienced old director hugged us and avoided the rocks in time. Otherwise, even if we were not glorious on the spot, we would probably have to stay in the hospital for several years. The best result should be paralysis, but now I still feel scared.

No one died in battle but the entire army was injured. On the one hand, it shows that the training method adopted by the camp in the Clan that surpassed this era is indeed effective. But on the other hand, it also shows that my excessive care for the camp in the Clan has seriously insufficient experience and psychological tolerance. From the perspective of effect, physical fitness, tactics and other training is enough. The next step is to add more training to a force that cannot be underestimated. Although the ministers under Cao Cao's rule cannot selfishly support the department, and I have handed over the control of the camp in the Clan, if I have trouble, these orphans who have followed me for ten years will definitely stand on my side. From now on, it will take at least three to four years to completely eliminate Yuan Shao's power. During this period, big battles and small battles are definitely an excellent time to train the team.

However, the most important thing now is not these. The Battle of Guandu completely reversed the situation between the enemy and us just like the three major battles before the liberation of his previous life. The subsequent problem is how to implement the land orders in the newly occupied prefectures and counties in the past few years. Yuan Shao’s four prefectures are different from Yan and Xu. The power of wealthy families is deeply rooted. If you want to have a stable rear in the future, you must rely on these people to maintain the situation. But if you rely too much on them, then all my previous deployments may be wasted. Fortunately, the children of officials who entered Yanzhou Public Schools in the early years have graduated and become officials one after another. These people are either the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family or the nephews of officials at all levels. There is no problem with loyalty. Although there are many lacks in experience, with the addition of these fresh blood, you will not be so stretched.

Moreover, most of the officials from Yanzhou are now merchants. With the expansion of the control area, they use advanced business methods and advanced commodities as pioneers. I believe that in more than ten years, the achievements of industrial and commercial development and humanistic concepts on the northern land can reach a peak.

Therefore, the most urgent task is not to eliminate Yuan Shao but to accelerate the industrial and commercial development of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. As a planner, I must go back to Xudu to do something. I don’t have to interfere in the future battle. At most, after Yuan Shao dies, Yuan Shao’s three sons will come up with the idea of ​​suspending the map when they fight together.

As for Xu You? So what can I do if I let you be arrogant for the time being? Anyway, Cao Cao thought that he had already seen the problem today, but Xu You had just made great contributions and was in the limelight. After this period, I will look at the right time to light the fire. Maybe it won’t take long to die without a place to bury him.

In the following days, the Cao army took turns to attack Yuan Shao's camp, but Yuan Shao's camp also had many catapults, so they did not gain much after paying a considerable price. Xun You made a plan to attack Yuan Zao and Li Yang to take the initiative to cut off the Yuan army's return, forcing Yuan Shao to divide his troops to rescue him. Then Cao's army besieged Yuan's army, and in the end, Yuan Shao only took a few hundred people to escape the Yellow River. The 80,000 Yuan family's sons and nephews from the broken Yuan family would rather die than surrender. In addition to the dead, countless people jumped into the rolling eastward water of the Yellow River. On the edge of the Yellow River was a ditch, and the bodies of the drowning dead were floating all over the river.

Cao Cao won a great victory in this battle and gave the rewards to the soldiers. He found a bunch of letters from the books, all of which were written by Xu Du and the people in the army to Shao. In order to win the hearts of the people, Cao Cao ordered people to burn all these letters, and he no longer asked.

Ju Su, who was imprisoned in the army by Yuan Shao, did not escape and was captured by Cao's army. Cao Cao met Ju Su, and Tian Feng and Guo Binghe mediated it. Ju Su then acted as a follower, but he vowed not to be an enemy of Yuan Shao as much as Tian Feng.

Seeing that winter was approaching and the war lasted for a long time, the soldiers were exhausted and wanted to continue attacking Yizhou because they were powerless. Cao Cao ordered the entire army to go back to Xudu to rest and wait until the spring of the next year, and then choose the opportunity to fight Yuan Shao. But I know that there is no chance to fight Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao doesn't have any surprises next year, he will die. What he will face in the future will be Yuan Shao's three unscrupulous sons.
