Zhang Yu, they are all cavalry. Naturally, they are very fast.
After running for dozens of miles, Zhang Yu stopped to have a rest.
"Lord, where are we going?" After stopping for a rest, pawey asked.
"Go to Luoyang, where Cao Cao put out a large number of troops to deal with Yuan Shu. At this time, there were not many troops." Zhang Yu said.
As early as when Zhang Yu wanted to go to Xuchang, he planned the route back to Xuchang. Only when he had a good grasp could he dare to go deep alone.
There are still many Cao troops guarding the city along the road, but no army can threaten them.
In the hinterland, most people don't leave too many garrisons. Even if thousands of troops guard a city, there are still so many troops in a relatively large city.
Cao Cao's face was very bad when he entered Xuchang. He not only came back from defeat, but also suffered a great loss.
Cao Cao called his men together: "Zhang Yu wants to go south from Luoyang to Jingzhou, and then use the Yangtze River to go back to Jiangdong. Although it's a long way, it's not dangerous."
Zhang Yu had fifty thousand cavalry, but he couldn't catch up with them, and the garrison in front of him was scattered.
"Lord, let the subordinates lead the soldiers to pursue and kill. We must not let him leave easily." Said Xia Houyuan.
Cao Cao didn't say anything. He was sure to pursue Zhang Yu. If he didn't pursue Zhang Yu, he would not go.
But now it's not Zhang Yu, it's Yuan Shao.
Zhang Yu made a big stir in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao had already made some moves.
Several cities on the front line fell, and Yuan Shao stepped up his attack.
This is what Cao Cao is most worried about. He is not worried about how much damage Zhang Yu will do to Yanzhou, but he is afraid of the huge damage Yuan Shao will do to Yanzhou.
Therefore, the most important thing for Cao Cao is to stop Yuan Shao and prevent him from destroying.
Since the crusade against Yuan Shu had failed, Cao Cao could not do it again at present.
Yuan Shu is still in a dream.
When Cao Cao reached Shouchun, he was besieged on all sides.
As a result, now the enemy has either retreated or stopped fighting, and the situation is calm.
On the contrary, Yanzhou is busy.
At the same time, Yuan Shu was also aware of his own situation.
"Ji Ling, reorganize the troops and increase the training. In addition, recruit another group of soldiers and horses for me." Yuan Shu said.
Ji Ling led the order, but Yang Hong came out and said, "Your Majesty, this army has to continue to recruit and train, but the most important thing is to solve the problem of weapons and equipment. This time, our soldiers just can't train because they don't have enough weapons and equipment, so they will suffer such losses."
Yuan Shu is in trouble. This time he lost a lot of money and was knocked away by Zhang Yu. He has borrowed money from these aristocratic families several times, and they can't always lend money to themselves.
Yuan Shu knew that he didn't have any money and owed a lot of money.
How much will it cost to buy weapons and equipment.
"Let's wait until the next time we collect taxes. We can't get much money now." Yuan Shu said.
Yang Hong said, "Your Majesty, if you have money, you can get it."
As soon as Yuan Shu's eyes brightened, he was most short of money.
"Your Majesty, we can borrow money from Zhang Yu. Although conditions are needed, if we don't recover our strength as soon as possible, next time the enemy will kill us, we will have nothing."
Yang Hong said, Yuan Shu agreed, and ordered Yang Hong to let him go to Zhang Yu to negotiate.
Such a consensus was formed within Yuan Shu.
Under the madness of Yuan Shu, he continued to exploit the common people and recruit troops.
The aristocratic family was their accomplice in exploiting the common people. They donated a lot of money to Yuan Shu, but they gained power from Yuan Shu and exploited the common people in various ways.
The common people ruled by Yuan Shu are miserable. Year by year is worse than year by year. With Yuan Shu's ambition growing, their life is more and more difficult.
There are other ways.
Zhou Yu found the problem early, so he stopped attacking early and began to consolidate his achievements. He had a good life.
Sun CE has stabilized the occupied territory and controlled the whole Panyang lake.
Lu Bu did even better. He occupied a large number of cities. Then he ransacked the cities like Zhang Yu, brought back a lot of money and moved millions of people back.
Cai Mao made little progress there. He only captured three cities and lost a lot of money.
However, Cai Mao also had a harvest. After some cleaning, tens of thousands of army troops became his lineage.
Several high ranking generals also asked him to get them back by various means.
Yuan Shu and Cao Cao lost the most in this crusade.
Cao Cao did not benefit at all.
I didn't get face or interior.
And the rest of the people have got face and inside.
......
Zhang Yu went on with his troops, but Cao Cao didn't come for a moment.
As a matter of fact, Cao Cao is also very tangled. If there are fewer troops, it can't be done. It's too dangerous.
It's hard to deal with Yuan Shao when there are too many soldiers.
Finally, Cao Cao ordered XiahouDun and XiaHouYuan to follow with 50000 troops and horses, and Cao ang to follow.
However, Cao Cao ordered that Zhang Yu should not be too close to Zhang Yu and try not to fight. Once Zhang Yu wants to attack or eat them, those who can enter the city will go to the city to spend time with Zhang Yu, and those who can't go to the city will stay in place, and then gather the troops of the surrounding cities.
Cao Cao was also forced by Zhang Yu.
The situation in Yanzhou is very interesting.
Zhang Yu and they ran for three days.
"Hellai, there is a small town ahead. Let's have a day off there and plan our next action." Zhang Yu looks at the map and says to Dian Wei.
Dian Wei immediately understood Zhang Yu's meaning and took 20000 people to take the lead.
When Zhang Yu arrived at the town, Dianwei had occupied the city, waiting for Zhang Yu to come.
This kind of small town evolved from a town to a county. Usually, there are hundreds of garrisons. It's very easy to attack.
Zhang Yu's speed is very fast. They have left Cao Jun for more than two days, and they have plenty of time to rest.
After entering the city, Zhang Yu found a spacious place, and then spread out the map.
"There are 30000 troops stationed in Luoyang. How can we attack them?" Zhang Yu looked at the map and said.
Since he had to go through Luoyang when he got here, Zhang Yu had the idea of Luoyang.
It is of great significance to win Luoyang.
"In this way, Cao Cao has to vomit blood this time." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu has come up with a way.
"Evil to listen to orders..."
After thinking of a way, Zhang Yu acted quickly.
Zhang Yu asks Dianwei to attack the city overnight.
The cities that he asked Dianwei to capture were just small cities. The location of these small cities was not important, and the population was not very large. Generally, they would not arrange a lot of garrisons, so they were easy to capture, and even some cities had no troops.
The garrisons are all big cities. It's not easy to attack. Zhang Yu won't move him.
Dian Wei moves and Zhang Yu follows.
Yes, Zhang Yu recruits all night.
