Chapter 856
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 destroyed and there was no longer any threat.
You have enough time to recuperate.
However, some people are still worried.
In 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, maybe he would come out to take a bite at any time.
Cao Cao broke up the meeting and ordered the army to prepare to withdraw.
But he left Cao Ang, Xun You, Jia Xu, Man Pang, Xu You and others behind.
A few 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 had been 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. The first person in the world who can threaten us is Zhang Yu. From now on, we must pay attention to Zhang Yu's information and use Zhang Yu as a threat. most important opponent."
Several people agreed that one of the most powerful princes in the world was defeated, and now it is Cao Cao and Zhang Yu.
Of course, Sun Ce can also become a being like Yuan Shao, and is qualified enough to become the strongest prince in the world, but Sun Ce's development is relatively slow, and he is still a little behind.
Xu You spoke first: "Eldest Young Master, how many times have you had contact with Zhang Yu? What is your evaluation?"
Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Xu You had also met Zhang Yu several times.
"It's hard to say. Anyway, he's not as rumored by the outside world. 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 region or the army." Cao Ang said.
Xu You nodded and said: "The eldest son is right, but what I want to say 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, and he also has this strength, but From start to finish, he didn't interfere, he didn't try to interfere, which was weird, so I always thought he was going to make a big move."
Xu You had long felt that Zhang Yu would take action, but he didn't see any action from Zhang Yu until now.
Cao Ang commented again: "Father, uncles, and nephew have always had a judgment, but it has never 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 in every war, the refugees produced are transported after being absorbed by Zhang Yu. I have gone overseas, but no one can say exactly how large it is. In addition, some students from Jiangdong Academy in the early autumn have also lost their whereabouts. When I was in Jiangdong Academy, many students would write letters to their friends after graduation, and friends were active. We will talk about it sometimes.”
"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 operations in recent years, and the overseas part may be bigger than we thought."
When Cao Ang said this, everyone sighed. Zhang Yu developed so fast in the past few days, which completely exceeded their imagination.
"Alas, 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, the world will fight for the hegemony, and only Zhang Yu and Cao Cao will invest most of the intelligence resources in Jiangdong in the future.
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 various places, and Zhang Yu also received the news early, and he has been paying attention to all this.
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 [-] troops from Youzhou to attack Qingzhou.
As for the rest, Zhang Yu led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to prepare for a blitz attack on 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 ordered 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.
Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong are responsible for all directions in Youzhou.
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. [-] prince in the world is now returning like a bereaved dog.
We were once so high-spirited, but now we can only lament the glory of yesterday.
Yuan Shao and his party were very depressed and lifeless along the way.
News spreads quickly.
Jizhou was shocked immediately.
Yuan Shao's million-strong army failed, and countless people were dumbfounded.
"Fortunately, luckily my daughter hasn't married Yuan Xi yet, otherwise this time I will really die 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 leave first and hide somewhere else, and then make plans." Zhen Yi thought.
