And he couldn't kill Yuan Shu, Jin Shang and others!
Yuan Shu personally took five thousand cavalry and led Liu Xiang, Ji Ling, Yan Xiang, and Jin Shang to run for their lives!
Many infantry who fell behind were captured and incorporated by Cao Cao!
After a day of fleeing, Yuan Shu ran to Yongqiu exhausted!I wanted to find a place to stay, but was repelled by Zhang Chao, who was defending the city!
In desperation, he could only take the cavalry, as well as the remaining infantry and archers, and continue to flee to the end of the world!
From Yongqiu, it took another day to escape to Xiangyi!
Fortunately, there is no city guard in Xiangyi to take care of him!He took advantage of it and hid in it!
Lead the remaining [-] people to guard the city gate!Got to rest for a while.
He originally thought that he would be able to safely wait for reinforcements from Yuzhou to arrive at the border between Yuzhou and Yanzhou!
As a result... being forced by the three old men of Cao Ying, it took ten days to dig ditches and irrigate water, and the city was broken again!
Thousands of soldiers were drowned because of this!
"Cao Cao! Do you really want to kill them all like this?"
Yuan Shu stood outside the city of Xiangyi, shouting at Cao Cao with grief and indignation!
"Gaolu! I just want to escort you back to Yuzhou! How can you slander me so much? We are still playmates when we were young! There must be basic trust between people!"
"Just now... I was worried that you had no water to drink! So there is no other meaning in sending water to your door!"
Cao Cao was joking!
In the battle of Xiangyi, he got another thousand horses!I also got two or three hundred dead horses. If they are handled well, they will be a batch of meat!
So now he is very happy!
Don't look at Yuan Shu's many soldiers, but these 10,000+ are all temporarily pulled out by him, not elites!
So the combat power is not strong!And he doesn't have any good generals who can lead an army!
If there is a general like Qu Yi, Cao Cao will be defeated!
Even if 10,000+ people died, it would be a bit traumatic, but it would not be a complete setback!He, Yuan Shu, is still a great vassal, able to dominate the south!
"Ah! Ah! I, Yuan Shu, fight with you!"
Yuan Shu was already arrogant, but being so stimulated by Cao Cao, his mentality exploded!
You know, the original him looked down on Cao Cao at all!
Regardless of family background or strength, Cao Cao was suppressed, but in less than a month, he was suppressed by Cao Cao!
"My lord! Don't be impulsive! Impulsive is a whore!"
Yan Xiang held Yuan Shu back again, and this time Yuan Shu cursed directly!
"Whore! Your whole family is a whore! Do you just repeat this sentence over and over again?"
"If it wasn't for your bad idea, how could I have failed so miserably? What lures the snake out of the hole! I think this is leading the wolf into the house!"
Seeing Yuan Shu so angry, Yan Xiang stopped talking!
With this bird man's temper, if you provoke him, he might be chopped off with a sword!
"Go! Get rid of Ningling! I don't believe it! I, Yuan Gonglu, can still be cornered by Cao Cao!"
"Hmph! Keep chasing if you have the guts!"
Yuan Shu cursed angrily, and led the disabled soldiers to turn around and run away!
The generals of Cao Ying smiled slightly and did not stop him, allowing him to rush out of the encirclement!
"Highway! I told you to run for a few minutes first! When I catch up with you, I'll follow you!"
After fleeing all the way, Yuan Shu finally came to Ningling after several hours!
Seeing Ningling City, Yuan Shu's heart was completely relieved!
Because this is his territory!
"Hahaha!"
"Why is the lord laughing?"
Ji Ling looked at Yuan Shu suspiciously, you have been killed like a bereaved dog, can you still laugh?What a big heart!
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "I'm laughing at Cao Cao's incompetence! I'm laughing at Yanzhou, don't be so smart! Even if I chase Yuan Shu six hundred miles away, so what?"
"Even if there are only [-] people left behind me! But as long as the city under my command is still there, I can make a comeback! Yanzhou... I will definitely come back!"
Seeing his appearance, Ji Ling scratched his head.
"My lord, I remember... Cao Cao seems to have sent a lot of soldiers to Ningling at the beginning. Could it be that Ningling has been taken?"
"Hehe! How is it possible! I'll let Chen Lan go... let your mother's shit go! Ji Ling, have you opened your mouth? Withdraw! With all your strength, withdraw in the direction of Jiujiang!"
Before Yuan Shu finished speaking, his complexion changed instantly!
Because in Ningling City, an army of more than [-] people rushed out!
The leader was a big man, holding a mountain axe, and his whole body exploded!
"Kill!! Capture Yuan Shu alive! An incomparable feat!"
This person is Pan Feng!
After a while of chasing and killing hundreds of people, Pan Feng retreated!
Coincidentally, Cao Cao and others also rushed over.
"Wushuang? Why are you here? I thought that after you defended Xiangyi, you returned and stayed behind!"
Pan Feng arched his hands, with a little embarrassment on his face:
"My lord! Didn't you ask me to guard Xiangyi? I led the troops here and happened to meet Chen Lan attacking the city, so I spent a few days to repel him!"
"I stayed in the city for a few days, and I felt bored! Then, Gongyu and I thought about having some fun, so we led our troops out for a walk! By the way, we took down Ningling City!"
"My lord...don't blame us, right? Well...I have captured more than 3000 soldiers! Now this army has 1 people! However, in these two battles, [-] people from the headquarters died!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay!
So that's what you're looking for, isn't it?If you have time, go for a walk and play wild!
Pan Feng was a little worried about Cao Cao swearing!This is the first time to lead troops out, and Ju Shou and the two are indeed a bit of a mess.
"Hahaha! How can I blame you! I'm too happy! Reward! Both you and the public should be rewarded!"
"After this battle, Yuan Shu may have lost his vitality! Everyone! Go to the city to rest and recuperate! Deal with all the surrendered soldiers on the way!"
Cao Cao was very pleased, and with a wave of his hand, he led the army and generals into Ningling County.
This city belongs to Yuzhou!But from today onwards, he has the surname of Cao Cao!
After settling down, Cao Cao ordered Xi Zhicai and Jushou to spend a day counting the battle damage.
"My lord! We have seized a total of 200 million catties of grain and grass in this battle!"
"There are a lot of chariot armor and weapons! More than [-] horses! There are more than [-] troops surrendered! All of them are capable of fighting!"
"If all these surrendered soldiers are tamed, there will be nearly 12 soldiers in our Yanzhou army!"
Hearing this news, everyone in Cao Ying was extremely excited!
Especially Cao Cao, his lips trembled with excitement!
More than [-] is a big prince and a big power!
Go back in time for a year and a half!He is still a little ruffian with thousands of soldiers in his hands and nowhere to stay!
I can only follow Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao to fight the autumn wind everywhere!
As a result, a year and a half later, he also became a big shot with a heavy hand!
There are a large number of fierce generals and advisers under his command!They are all top existences!
Among this group of people, the one he was most grateful for, and also the most fortunate, was the handsome guy who was sitting next to him and was eating chicken legs!
Just because of this guy, how many risks he has avoided!I don't know how beneficial it is!
"Brother! Our military strength is over one hundred thousand! Did you hear that?"
Xia Houzhe glanced at him: "I'm not deaf! I heard it! Don't think about tens of thousands of troops. There are still two and a half months before the autumn harvest. Think about how much you still owe me!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a basin of cold water poured on Cao Cao's head!
There are tens of thousands more soldiers and horses, and thousands more war horses, but with it, the expenses are even greater!
Borrowing from east to west, in the past few months, he has already owed [-] gold!
I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay off in this life!
Cao Cao looked sad, but when he turned his head and thought, he couldn't figure it out anyway, or... why should he owe more?
As soon as this idea came out, it became more and more out of hand!Thrive in his mind like a seed!
"By the way, Gongyu, how much damage did we do?"
Jushou's smile gradually subsided and became a little heavy!
"My lord, our side... lost [-] troops in our headquarters! In addition, more than [-] leopard riders died! However, all the crossbows have been recovered, and they have not escaped!"
Hearing the battle damage, the audience was silent.
Cao Cao's face showed sadness, and his eyes gradually became wet.
"These... are all my brothers of Cao Cao! Ambition followed me out, but I failed to bring them back! It's all my Cao Mengde's incompetence!"
Seeing Cao Cao crying, the generals also lost their emotions.
"My lord! There is no way to do it once you succeed!"
"That's right! There is no one who will never die in a battle! My lord, so many brothers are watching under Jiuquan, so we have to work harder to make their families live well! In this way, their lives are not in vain!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao wiped away his tears, then turned to look at Xia Houzhe.
"Brother! Tell me... shall we withdraw our troops, or continue to Yuzhou?"
Chapter 259 Returning to Qiao County to Find Xu Chu
Xia Houzhe touched his chin and smiled disapprovingly.
"Here we come! Why don't we have to grab a wave! He Yuan Shu can come to us, why can't we go to his territory?"
"And... he lost this time, lost troops and lost generals. There are not many troops left in the northern part of Yuzhou! We can do whatever we want!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
"But our military strength can't afford so many territories!"
"Who told you that you want the territory? Take the food and treasures in the city and run away! Leave the mess to Yuan Shu himself! As long as we don't harm the people!"
"Flick off your clothes when it's over, and hide your achievements and fame! Don't you understand?"
Xia Houzhe looked at him bitterly.
Cao Cao nodded and sighed a good poem in his heart!It's just being used in the wrong place.
"Everyone, what do you think of what Yuan Yi said?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia Xizhi remained silent, and Xia Houzhe had already spoken, so even if the two of them talked again, the lord would not listen!They are very knowledgeable!
And Dianwei Wang Yue became more energetic!
"No objection! We agree! We are familiar with this job! My lord, why don't you give us a soldier? I promise to snatch it for you!"
Cao Cao looked at the two in surprise, two slackers volunteered?Ghost!There must be ghosts!
"Okay! Someone approved! But Yuan Yi has to supervise you! Otherwise, I don't worry!"
Hearing this, Cao Chun stood up with a look of excitement: "Wait, my lord! I want to join one too!"
Zhao Yun also stood up, Dian Wei Wang Yue knows what kind of shit he is!They wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun!
"And I!"
Cao Cao waved his hands generously: "Then you five! Supervisor Yuanyi! The rest take care of the soldiers!"
