Chapter 856: Tigers Out of Youzhou
Helpless, Cao Cao was unable to supply food and grass, and the entire force was in a state of food shortage, so he had to retreat.
But Cao Cao's crisis is over.
Yuan Shao's army was wiped out, and there was no longer any threat.
I have enough time to rest and recuperate.
However, some people are still worried.
Several states in the north, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, most of the troops are now accounted for in the battle of Guandu.
This Yuan Shao became a toothless tiger.
It was not only Cao Cao who was eyeing him, Zhang Yu was also watching from the sidelines, not sure when he would come out to take a bite.
Cao Cao broke up the meeting and ordered the army to prepare to withdraw.
But he kept Cao Ang, Xun You, Jia Xu, Man Pang, Xu You and others.
Several people sat down in the big tent, Cao Cao first asked the soldiers to make a cup of tea for each of them, because there were too many things recently, and everyone was tired.
Several people sat down, and after resting for a while, Cao Cao said: "Now Yuan Shao is no longer a threat, and the first one who can threaten us is Zhang Yu. From now on, we must pay attention to Zhang Yu's information, and we must take Zhang Yu as the last important opponent."
Several people agreed that one of the most powerful princes was defeated, and now it is Cao Cao and Zhang Yu.
Of course, Sun Ce can also become the same existence as Yuan Shao, which is enough to aspire to be the strongest prince in the world, but Sun Ce's development is relatively slow, and he is still a bit short.
Xu You first said: "My lord, how many times have you been in contact with Zhang Yu, how do you evaluate it?"
Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Xu You had also met Zhang Yu several times.
"It's difficult. Anyway, he's not like what the outside world has said. He may be lustful. Other rumors are almost all slandering him. It's hard to find anyone who is more powerful than him whether he governs the local area or the army." Cao Ang said.
Xu You nodded and said: "Young Master is not bad, but what I want is that this person has a very good view of the overall situation. In Yuan Cao's battle, no matter who wins, he has the possibility to operate. He also has this strength, but from the beginning to the end ended, he didn't interfere, didn't try to interfere,
That's weird, so I always thought he was going to make a big move. "
Xu You had long felt that Zhang Yu would make a move, but he hadn't seen Zhang Yu make any moves until now.
Cao Ang commented again: "Father, uncles and nephews have always had a judgment, but it has not been verified."
Cao Ang looked at everyone and said: "From what I learned in Jiangdong, Zhang Yu invested a lot of resources overseas. What can be judged is that every time a war, the refugees produced are more and more absorbed by Zhang Yu. Overseas, but no one knows the exact scale. In addition, some students from Jiangdong Academy in the early autumn also lost their whereabouts. When they were in Jiangdong Academy, many students would write letters to their friends after graduation. When friends were active will talk about it too.”
"From what my nephew knows, many people will be sent overseas by Zhang Yu after graduation, and it will take two years before they can come back."
"Moreover, there are many fleets in Jiangdong, some of which are going to Youzhou, and some of them are missing. No one knows how many, but the scale is not small. My nephew only knows an island that used to be called Dongyi and is now called Taiwan. The size is as large as a county. where the population is the size of a county."
"So, my nephew judges that Zhang Yu has focused on overseas business these years, and the overseas part may be bigger than we imagined."
When Cao Ang said here, everyone was also sighing. Zhang Yu has developed so fast these few days, completely beyond their imagination.
"Oh, I underestimated Zhang Yu before, but what if I didn't underestimate him?" Cao Cao said with emotion.
The conclusion of this meeting is that in the future, Zhang Yu and Cao Cao will fight for supremacy, and most of the intelligence resources in the future will be invested in Jiangdong.
This matter was led by Cao Ang, because Cao Ang was most familiar with Jiangdong.
A few days later, the results of Yuan Cao's battle spread to all over the world, and Zhang Yu also received the news early, and he has been paying attention to this event.
Zhang Yu had led people to lurk at the border half a month ago.
He has a lot of information, and he has already noticed that Yuan Cao's decisive battle is imminent.
He received the news on the fourth day after Wuchao was burned, and the news was faster than Yuan Xi's.
After receiving the news, Zhang Yu started to act.
At this time, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei had also finished their preparations.
Zhang Liao was in charge of attacking Qingzhou from the sea.
Tai Shici was in charge of leading 50,000 troops from Youzhou to attack Qingzhou.
For the rest, Zhang Yu led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to prepare to attack Jizhou.
Yes, Zhang Yu not only wants to attack Qingzhou, but also Jizhou.
"There are Han Sheng and Zhicai in Youzhou, so there is no danger. Yu Fuluo should not be mistaken." Zhang Yu couldn't help but think of the Xiongnu on the grassland.
The Huns have been trying to go south.
"I order to set off immediately and strike Qingzhou and Jizhou." Zhang Yu ordered after the army was ready.
After Zhang Yu gave the order to set off, Youzhou also began to act.
Zhang Yu's arrangement for several months was not for nothing, turning Youzhou into an iron bucket.
In the direction of Youzhou, Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong are in charge.
Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry could not carry out a blitzkrieg, so Zhang Yu stayed in Youzhou to help Xi Zhicai.
Zhang Yu set off with a mighty army, and on the land side, they were all cavalry.
One hundred thousand iron hoofs, rolling southward.
After that, the troops were divided into two groups, all the way to Jizhou, and all the way south to Qingzhou.
At sea, a huge fleet was already floating on the sea, heading towards Qingzhou.
Speaking of Yuan Shao, after abandoning the camp, he fled back with only a few thousand people.
The turbulence along the way, coupled with the very stagnant mood, made Yuan Shao's condition very bad.
Yuan Shao fell ill on the way back.
An army of one million was annihilated in an instant.
The former No. 1 vassal now returns home like a bereaved dog.
Once high-spirited, now I can only lament yesterday's glory.
Yuan Shao and his party were very dejected, lifeless along the way.
News spread quickly.
Jizhou was shocked immediately.
Yuan Shao's million-strong army failed, and I don't know how many people were dumbfounded.
"Fortunately, fortunately, my daughter has not yet married Yuan Xi, otherwise this time I will really perish with the Yuan family." Zhen Yi said luckily.
Although it was a fluke, their danger had not yet passed at this time.
Zhen Yi felt unprecedented fear.
The army of millions lost, if they continue to follow Yuan Shao, they will perish together in the end.
When Yuan Shao comes back, he will definitely regroup and ask them to donate property again.
When the time comes, the Zhen family will spend a large amount of property to support Yuan Shao, and the final result can only be death.
Zhen Yi could see clearly that Yuan Shao's big ship was going to be silent.
"We must arrange for Mi'er to go first, to hide in other places first, and then make plans." Zhen Yi thought.
