Chapter 614 Yuan Shao and Cao Cao Are Depressed

Yan Liang is in a desperate situation, and even a decisive battle is an extravagant hope.

Xi Zhicai, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun were more than ten miles away. Although there was no siege, there was no hope.

Yan Liang and the others only had food and grass for a few days, and they were still far away from the territory they controlled, so they couldn't escape at all.

The best way is to fight.

But the enemy has powerful heavy cavalry, and their morale is low. If the heavy cavalry breaks through the formation, the entire army will collapse.

Yan Liang understood too well, that's why he couldn't make a choice.

Three days later, Yan Liang did not think of a better solution, and it was time for the final decision.

For three days, morale continued to be low. Yan Liang knew that if he continued, he would be defeated first without the enemy's attack.

"My lord, Liang will not be able to continue to serve you in the future, please take care of me, my lord." Yan Liang knelt on the ground and shouted.

Although Yuan Shao didn't hear Yan Liang's last cry at this time, he was not feeling well at all.

Information has been passed to him.

This is terrible news.

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, you and I cannot live together." Yuan Shao cursed out something after holding back for a long time.

In the past few days, it can be said that he has gone through heaven and hell.

At the beginning, good news came frequently, and Yuan Shao was very excited when he invaded Youbeiping and Liaoxi County.

Even Yan Liang was allowed to lead the army alone, because this battle was not too difficult, and Yuan Shao wanted to use troops in other directions, so he only let Yan Liang go.

It was very smooth at first, and even Yuan Shao thought that in a few days, Zhang Yu's power would no longer exist.

But within a few days of invading western Liaoning, the bad news came, and Zhang Yu appeared.

When Zhang Yu appeared, he quickly cut off his connection with Yan Liang's army.

Yuan Shao was very shocked at the beginning, how did Zhang Yu come back from the grassland alive.

At this time, if he decisively sends troops, he still has a chance.

But Yan Liang's army had at least 250,000 troops, so how could such a huge army be eaten by Zhang Yu.

Of course he couldn't eat it, so Yuan Shao just asked the soldiers and horses in Yuyang County to go to meet him. As long as Yan Liang withdrew to Pinggu County, he would be fine.

Who knows, Zhang Yu's goal is Pinggu County.

Taking Pinggu County, Zhang Yu also suppressed the news for a few days.

A few days later, it was too late when Yuan Shao got the news again, but at this time, if he could still send troops to go there, some of them could be rescued.

Yuan Shao also hoped that the soldiers and horses in Ji County could rescue Yan Liang. No matter how bad it was, Yan Liang would fight all the way back and withdraw to Yuyang County to save some soldiers and horses.

However, Zhang Yu had already lured out all the soldiers and horses in Yuyang County, and wiped out most of them. In this way, what Yan Liang wanted to cross was not Youbeiping County, but Yuyang County.

Here came the problem. The sneak attacks along the road caused him huge losses, and he lost a lot of food and grass.

There was also the morale issue, the pressure on the soldiers was simply too great.

"My lord, please send troops quickly, and my subordinates are willing to rush to the rescue of General Yan." Wen Chou knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Yuan Shao shook his head, it was too difficult to rescue Yan Liang.

Ji County was captured by Zhang Yu. There was intelligence that Zhang Yu had been there to reinforce the fortifications. Yuan Shao knew about the defense of Ji County. It would not take ten days and a half months to defeat it.

Moreover, to rescue Yan Liang, a lot of soldiers and horses must be mobilized. Most of the soldiers and horses at this time are stationed at the front line.

So, how could Yuan Shao have enough soldiers and horses.

To break through Ji County and enter Yuyang County to rescue Yan Liang is not something that can be solved by 30,000 to 50,000 troops.

Sending 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses is no different from delivering food.

Yuan Shao didn't say anything, Wen Chou was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

In the end Yuan Shao scolded Zhang Yu severely.

Depressed are not only the enemies who fought against Zhang Yu, but also Cao Cao.

Cao Cao issued an imperial decree announcing Zhang Yu's death.

Now Zhang Yu is alive, and he is still killing the Quartet.

In this way, it seems that the imperial decree has no more authority.

This was a blow to the authority of the imperial decree. Originally, the imperial decree still had some effect, so the effect was greatly weakened immediately, which was not a good thing for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, Cao Cao also considered the fact that Zhang Yu was not dead, but what he didn't expect was that this time Zhang Yu not only survived, but also returned strongly, and the soldiers and horses did not lose much at all.

This situation was unexpected by Cao Cao.

And they also got information that Zhang Yu cheated the Xiongnu and Xianbei. If it got out, Cao Cao would deliberately kill the heroes with the help of someone with a heart.

This account will be counted on Cao Cao in the princes, but in the eyes of the people and the people, it will be counted on the emperor Liu Xie. Liu Xie still has a lot of influence among the people. influences.

This is what he does not want.

"My lords, Zhang Yu returned unscathed. After this battle, his strength will not be weakened much, and he will recover in a short time. He must be very passive towards us by then."

Zhang Yu's revenge mentality is so heavy, Cao Cao can be regarded as a lesson, this time Zhang Yu survived, but he will be retaliated by Zhang Yu when he makes trouble, so he must prepare in advance.

Cheng Yu came out and said, "My lord, negotiate with Zhang Yu in secret. There are a few benefits to expose this matter. We have a common enemy, Yuan Shao, so there is no need to quarrel with Zhang Yu."

Xun You came out and said, "My lord, if Zhang Yu wants to take revenge, he can take revenge. Don't worry about it. He has limited means, so we can counteract it. We can cooperate with Zhang Yu and absolutely cannot compromise."

Man Pang also came out and said: "My lord, when dealing with Zhang Yu, interests come first. Although we offended him this time, he is also a sensible person. The means of revenge are limited, so don't worry about it. He will continue to cooperate with us if necessary in the future. "

Several other advisers and generals expressed their opinions, and the opinions were mixed, and it was difficult for Cao Cao to choose.

"This Zhang Yu really can't be viewed from a normal perspective. This trip to the grassland was so dangerous that he was fine. What's even more surprising is that he didn't choose to attack the Huns when he came back this time, but attacked Yuan Shao, directly killing Yan Liang's 20+ Wan Dajun is in a desperate situation, and it is estimated that there will be no escape."

Cao Cao continued: "Zhang Yu has established an advantage in one fell swoop. I estimate that he will control Youzhou in a short time. At that time, we will form a north-south attack on Yuan Shao. There is a lot of room for cooperation in the future."

Everyone knew what Cao Cao said was reasonable, thinking that Cao Cao was going to compromise with Zhang Yu.

In fact, compromise is also reasonable.

But Cao Cao said: "In future cooperation, we must take the initiative and distribute more benefits. We must not be too weak, but the relationship must not be too rigid. This compromise is necessary, but it cannot give Zhang Yu any real benefits. "

Everyone nodded. It was Cao Cao who had the foresight to see the changes in the future from this battle. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
