Chapter 692

"Oh

Qingzhou soldiers spit out a mouthful of blood. They look down in disbelief. The spear stabbed into his chest. The blood from the wound dyed the spear rod and armor. His strength was also lost with the flow of blood.

"Kill!"

The swordsman gave a big drink, put away the big shield, jumped and chopped. The ring head sword fell heavily on the Qingzhou soldiers' neck. With a snort, his big head fell directly on the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he was still in his sleep.

"Good!"

Hao Zhao praised: "you have done a good job. The main army must cooperate with each other in fighting against the enemy. Otherwise, even King Xiang, Meng Ben and Xia Yuzhi are just ordinary men."

Although the number of soldiers in Liangzhou is small, they cooperate with each other. Even though some brave soldiers turn to fight hard, they are killed by the cooperative Liangzhou soldiers. Naturally, no one dares to turn back.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of Liangzhou pursued and killed along the way, which scared Cao's army out of his wits and abandoned countless supplies. Many people left the queue directly and fled in all directions.

But Cao Hong didn't dare to turn back. He just ran away and didn't know how long he had run. He only felt that the inside of his two thighs was grinding and painful, so he stopped.

Cao Hong looked around in a daze. He saw that Cao Jun was afraid that there were less than 2000 people around him.

This is the only person left in the nearly 10000 troops he has brought in?

Cao Hong was dejected and looked down at the ring head knife around his waist for a long time.

Langlang!

Cao Hong pulled out the ring head knife and placed it across his neck.

"Nearly ten thousand troops have suffered heavy losses. How could they have the face to see the Lord?"

Cao Hong cried out sadly. After saying that, he would draw a knife and commit suicide, but he was hugged by his assistant general.

"If general Zilian dies, where will we go?"

The deputy general tried to persuade him: "winning or losing is a common matter for soldiers. The general can gather up the defeated soldiers along the way, turn back to Pingyuan county and stick to it. If the general killed himself, wouldn't the prime minister blame him if he lost Pingyuan county?"

Jingle, ring head knife fell to the ground.

"So it is." Cao Hong sighed: "well, go back to Pingyuan county first, gather up the kuizu along the way, and say something else."

"The whole army goes back to plain county!"

After Cao Hong was defeated, he had no choice but to lead the defeated generals to retreat. Along the way, Cao Hong gathered the scattered Cao's troops. At the same time, he withdrew all the garrisons in the counties of Qinghe County and took them all back to Pingyuan County for garrison.

In this way, Cao Hong's attack was self defeating. Instead of leading his troops into Yecheng, he even lost several counties of Qinghe County which had been annexed by Liu Ye and Yuan Shaoye during the war, and the defense line was withdrawn to Pingyuan county.

Xu Guojun was a total winner.

Under Yecheng, Liu Ye led the gentry out of the city, carrying pigs, sheep, grain, rice and other things to reward the victorious Liangzhou army.

"How about this seizure, general Gongming?"

Liu Ye bowed his hand and laughed at Xu Huangdao.

Xu Huang sat on his horse with a smile on his face and told Hao Zhao, "Bodao, let's talk about killing and seizing our army."

"Yes."

Hao Zhao clasped his fist and then said to Liu Ye, "Mr. Ziyang, our army has killed and captured more than 6000 enemy troops, captured more than 3000 Cao army's grain and grass, and some golden drum flags."

Liu Ye's eyes brightened: "the total number of Cao's troops is less than 10000, and the casualties and captives alone are more than 6000. In addition to the scattered enemy troops, I'm afraid that Cao Hong can take advantage of the situation to recover Qinghe County!"

Xu Huang nodded his head and agreed: "this is exactly what the general meant. Cao Hong was also a strong man. He has already withdrawn the garrison in every county of Qinghe County to Pingyuan county. Ben will send all the troops to occupy Qinghe County."

"Well, now the key is Yan Liang."

Liu Ye said with a smile: "our army should spread this news so that Yan Liang can retreat in the face of difficulties."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xu Huang laughed and said: "he had better retreat in the face of difficulties, otherwise our Liangzhou army is as powerful as a rainbow, and will certainly be able to defeat the Youzhou army with one go."

Liu Ye personally presided over it and sent many detailed works to spread the news of Cao Hong's defeat and spread it to Youzhou.

Zhongshan state, Puyin county.

On the boundless wilderness, a camp of Yuan Shao army was stationed in the same place. In the camp, numerous banners fluttered in the wind. Among them, there were two big flags, one with the word "Yuan" and the other with "Yan".

"What, Cao Hong was defeated?"

A member of the Chinese Army's tent was a senior general with black armour and wolf waist and ape arms. He was Yan Liang, known as the number one general under Yuan Shao's command.

Yan Liang showed a look of disbelief and murmured to himself, "how could Cao Hong defeat so quickly when there are ten thousand people under his command?"

"Not necessarily true."

"Well?"

Hearing this, Yan Liang looked at Feng Ji on one side and said in a hurry: "not necessarily true? What do you mean by thatFeng Ji planned to acquire Jizhou for Yuan Shao. Although more and more counsellors came under his command since he occupied Jizhou, Fengji was still the most respected person of Yuan Shao and treated him with courtesy. Therefore, many generals under Yuan Shao's command also respected Fengji, and Yan Liang was no exception.

Feng Ji gently stroked his beard and said slowly: "Liu Ye turned back to Luoyang, and the number of soldiers left for Xu Huang was only 20000. Now our army and Cao Hong's army are fighting against Jizhou. Xu Huang's character is calm and will never pour out. It's not so easy to defeat Cao Hong."

"Maybe it's a fake news that Xu Huang released in order to confuse our army's sight." Feng Ji analyzed: "it's said that before Liu Ye left, he left Huainan Liu Ziyang to assist Xu Huang, one man and one martial arts.". Maybe Liu Ziyang, in order to confuse our army and gain time for Xu Huang, sent out false news and asked us to withdraw? "

Yan Liang's eyes lit up: "so Xu Huang wants to stabilize our army first, defeat Cao Hong's army, and then fight with our army?"

Feng Ji nodded slightly: "there is this possibility."

"Then our army will speed up its march!"

Yan Liang resolutely said: "since Xu Huang has sent troops and intends to fight Cao Hong quickly, the main force must have left Yecheng. Now Yecheng is empty, which is a good time for us to go south quickly!"

Every Ji pondered for a while: "OK, but we still need to strengthen the search for information."

Yan Liang immediately decided to lead the 10000 Youzhou army to the south, intending to take advantage of the absence of Xu Huang's main force to attack Yecheng.

However, with the spread of intelligence, after the news of Cao Hong's defeat really came, the spies reported that Xu Huang personally led his troops to stay in Yecheng and planned to lead the troops northward. After that, Yan Liang had to lead his troops to the north.

"It's a pity that the news of Cao's defeat was true." Every Ji sighs.

Yuan Shao's army was defeated by Liu Ye's army. He didn't expect that even Xu Huang could use his troops like a God. For a while, he felt that his future was dim.
