Chapter 821: Alliance
"Hey, they still dare to catch up, do we want to play?" Dian Wei asked Ling Cao after knowing that Ji Ling sent someone to catch up.
"Don't worry, they will retreat soon. We have lost a lot this time, and we don't know what will happen when we go back to the Lord."
This time they rushed in, although the time was not short, they also lost more than 30,000 people. Zhang Yu has always cherished the lives of soldiers, so what might really happen.
Chuanguo Yuxi is a good thing, but it is not so urgent compared to the lives of soldiers.
Ling Cao is confident that Ji Ling and the others will retreat soon because they are afraid of being killed by him. In addition, it has been nearly three days. will catch up.
At this time, Yuan Jun was in a mess, and if he wanted to move on, he had to straighten out the army.
Ji Ling led tens of thousands of troops to pursue Ling Cao and the others, but they kept a certain distance.
This Ji Ling is not stupid, he knows that Chuan Guo Yuxi cannot be chased back, but they are still in danger at this time, how dare they chase so closely.
But it's impossible not to chase, because Yuan Shuna is too stubborn.
Ji Ling and the others chased for several hours, but they still failed to catch up. However, news came from behind that Cao Ang was approaching, which was very dangerous.
As a last resort, Yuan Shu gave up the pursuit and continued on his way.
Ji Ling and the others returned to the original road and joined Yuan Shu's army.
After the blow, the morale of Yuan Shu's soldiers was even lower.
It is impossible not to be depressed, the emperor was arrested, and he was arrested under the protection of their army.
Morale is low, and a small number of people have already left the team and fled.
Yuan Shu began to look dejected, and he didn't care about his image, like a walking dead.
At this time, Yang Hong has been presiding over the overall situation, but he is also powerless and has worked very hard.
Yuan Jun continued to set off, but Cao Ang pursued urgently.
Although Cao Ang wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops, he did not suffer any losses.
His soldiers and horses also lost more than 30,000 people.
At the beginning of the attack, the enemy was very tenacious and fought very hard. After breaking through their formation, they fell to one side, and Yuan Jun quickly lost Lin Kang.
Although the loss was not small, Cao Ang did not give up and led his men to pursue.
"My lord, I have found out the details. Zhang Yu's army attacked Yuan Shu and even captured Yuan Shu, but finally took the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and released Yuan Shu." A general said to Cao Ang.
Cao Ang's face was not very good. They had been chasing the enemy for three years, but they only brought five dry food.
He judged that Zhang Yu would attack them, but he never expected that Jiangdong's army would give up in the end.
If they had killed Yuan Shu, this army might have collapsed and disbanded halfway.
In the end, they didn't kill Yuan Shu, what did Zhang Yu think.
"Chuan Guo Yuxi, their goal is to Chuan Guo Yuxi." Cao Ang gritted his teeth.
Cao Rendao: "This Zhang Yu's idea is really strange, and it won't do them any good if Yuan Shu runs away."
Cao Ang continued: "But it has a greater impact on us."
In other words, Yuan Shu ran away, which would definitely have an impact on Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu still did it.
Zhang Yu was affected by Youzhou and Guangling County. In Youzhou, Zhang Yu has always been on the defensive, and has built a big city and checkpoints, so the impact is not big.
Due to pressure from the north, Youzhou has been afraid to take the initiative to attack.
As for the remaining Guangling County, it affects nature and cannot threaten Zhang Yu's core area.
But Cao Cao was different. Yuan Shao had always threatened their core area. If Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were added, the threat would be even greater.
That's why Cao Ang chased after him fiercely.
However, Cao Ang also had a reason to look at uploading the national jade seal, and now Zhang Yu has cut off his beard.
"My lord, should we continue the pursuit?" Xiahou Dun asked.
"Chasing, Yuan Shu and the others must be having a hard time right now, keep chasing."
Cao Ang and the others have limited time, or limited dry food, so they only have two hours left.
Cao Ang led his men to continue the pursuit.
Cao Ang chased after him again, and Yang Hong told the army to speed up and run all the way.
"No, General Ji Ling, you have to arrange an army to stay and intercept them, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get rid of them." Yang Hong found Ji Lingdao.
"Okay, this time we will keep 50,000 troops." Ji Ling said.
Yang Hong said again: "Let the striker speed up, and investigate carefully, pay attention to ambush."
Yang Hong was also afraid of being ambushed by Zhang Yu and the others once. If they were ambushed again, they would collapse.
Ling Cao and Dian Wei ignored Yuan Shu's result and went back directly.
This time, more than 30,000 troops were lost, not a loss, but the Jade Seal of Chuanguo was obtained.
Halfway through, Zhang Yu received the message.
"It's worth more than 30,000 people to exchange for the Chuanguo Yuxi, but this approach cannot be advocated. After all, the Chuanguo Yuxi is just a dead thing." Zhang Yu said after the information.
After Ling Cao and Dian Wei came back, Zhang Yu and the others rewarded them for their meritorious service.
When discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, the dozen or so generals led by Ling Cao and Dian Wei were rewarded heavily by Zhang Yu, affirming them.
But Ling Cao and Dian Wei didn't get much credit.
At first they didn't understand, but after someone reminded them, they knew where the problem was.
They were not wrong for snatching the jade seal, but Zhang Yu didn't give them any credit.
The two didn't have any opinions, and they didn't care about this little credit, but it also reminded the whole army that the lives of soldiers must be taken seriously.
Zhang Yu also knew that the two of them had been wronged, and the credit they made was actually quite large. After all, getting the Chuanguo Yuxi was in his own hands, and it was useless.
This battle has come to an end for the time being, and there are still many follow-up things, but they can no longer affect the overall situation.
On Yuan Shu's side, Cao Ang overtook him twice within two days, and a big battle broke out.
Cao Ang killed more than 90,000 soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu's army, and lost more than 20,000 himself.
Then Yuan Shu ran away with nearly 200,000 troops.
Cao Ang ran out of food and could not pursue them. They walked halfway back and met the food transport team sent by Cheng Yu to replenish food and grass.
"Eldest son, do we still want to pursue?"
If you walk halfway back, you will lose a whole hour of time when you come back. If you continue to chase, you may still have time.
"No need, we are also exhausted and have no losses. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with in Shouchun City." Cao Ang said.
Cao Ang was also very helpless, and he couldn't do everything in this battle.
On the way back, Cao Ang wrote a letter to Cao Cao, explaining the process in detail.
A few days later, Cao Ang returned to Shouchun. Just after returning to Shouchun, Cheng Yu told Cao Ang that under Sun Ce's proposal, the three parties would hold an alliance.
The three parties will form an alliance, and they will form an alliance under the situation of forming a tripartite confrontation.
