The personal soldiers replied.

"Tell me to retreat." Sun Guan completely relaxed, waved his hand and ordered.

As Le'an lost, Sun Guan withdrew from Taishan County, and Chen Deng led his troops south to attack the cities and counties, causing a series of chain reactions.

First of all, the county magistrate of Qingzhou, the county magistrate fell by the wind and snowflakes, and arrived in front of Zhang Xiu.

In a short period of time, Zang Ba's territory was only left with an isolated Linzi City.

Mi Zhu, the governor of Qingzhou, did a very good job. He quickly built the team of the governor of Qingzhou and exerted influence on Xuzhou in the south, helping Chen Deng control Xuzhou.

The Yellow River is the entire line of defense. Once it is broken through, there is no possibility of being repaired.

Gao Lan, Zhang He, Fan Chou and other generals led 50,000 elite troops to cross the river.

The news came back to Jinan County.

In the city, in the county magistrate's study room, Liu Bei's face turned pale when he heard the news, and sat in his butt. Jian Yong in front of him also looked ugly.

"Zhang Xiu actually attacked Qingzhou himself, and the branch general commanded 300,000 troops?" Cold sweat continued to emerge from Liu Bei's forehead.

"Lord, it's not the time to care about this. It's useless to defend the Yellow River now. You should immediately let Chang Yun withdraw his troops and return to the city. We will defend the city to the death and help Cao Gong resist the Liang army."

"And now Zhang He and Fan Chou have crossed the river and seized Licheng to confront us. Zhang He is a famous general of Yuan Shao, and Fan Chou is a long-time general of Xiliang. These two people should not be underestimated."

Jian Yong took a deep breath and bowed his hand and said.

"It's reasonable. Xianhe. Go and do it right away."

Liu Bei was shocked and said quickly.

"Oh my god. Have you really abandoned the great man?" After Jian Yong left, Liu Bei felt desperate and lamented, raised his head but did not see the sky, but only saw a room of tiles.

Although he is tenacious and indomitable, he feels extremely desperate about Zhang Xiu's current power.

Whether it is troops, population, territory, logistics, generals, civil officials, or Zhang Xiu, they are all strong and have no shortcomings.

Liu Bei examined himself and was only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The counselor was only Jian Yong. Let’s take a look at Cao Cao. Although there are more talents there, Cao Cao’s foundation is also Xiahou and the generals of the Cao family.

Compared with Zhang Xiu, it is so much worse.

As for the people under Sun Jian's command, they were even more nameless.

The Liang army became stronger and stronger as they fought, the bigger and weaker they became. It was so desperate.

................

Guandu camp.

These days, Cao's army fought with Liang's army very well. Although Xu Huang, Pang De dispatched troops, generals Taishici, Ma Chao and others finished singing and I came on stage, jumping up and down to try to cross the river.

However, the Cao army was very beautiful in guarding the Yellow River firmly in its own hands.

The front was stabilized, and there was no shortage of food and grass in the rear. Xun Yu kept transporting food and grass from Dongjun to support Guandu's consumption.

The morale of Cao's soldiers is also quite high.

Inside the Central Army's tent.

Cao Cao sat on the commander's throne, with Xiahou Dun and Cheng Yu underneath him.

Guo Jia was sick again and couldn't move in bed.

"Although Zhang Xiu is invincible in the world, I have a good position. I am not a person like Yuan Shao. It is harder to climb to the sky if he wants to cross the river." Cao Cao's face was rosy and he was in a very good mood.

"What the lord is saying," Xiahou Dun also said with a smile on his face.

Cheng Yu also smiled and pinched his beard.

The successful resistance to Commander Zhang Xiu's 300,000 troops was not only a great boost to the morale of the lower-level soldiers, but even they were also happy.

Let’s not talk about how brave Zhang Xiu led his troops to fight and how he invaded like fire. Just say that the number of Liang troops was multiples of them, and the population, food, and logistics were several times theirs.

It is really commendable that they defend the Yellow River with the weak side.

However, it was not Cao Cao's purpose to just defend the Central Plains.

"Weapons are fire. If fire does not burn the enemy, we will perish on our own. Our first step is to confront the Liang army, and the second step is to find opportunities, but cross the river and eliminate the Liang army."

Cao Cao gently raised his hands and patted his knees, and his eyes were filled with a fierce fighting spirit.

This is how war is.

Xiang Yu won every battle, but in the end he lost the world.

As long as Zhang Xiu makes a mistake once, he can seize the opportunity to defeat Zhang Xiu's hundreds of thousands of troops, and then sweep the entire Hebei area such as Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places.

Although Zhang Xiu cannot be eliminated immediately, the situation can also reverse.

The Han Dynasty still has great potential.

"Attack Chang'an, Luoyang. Welcome the emperor and revive the Han Dynasty." Cao Cao took a deep breath, raised his head and said unwaveringly.

"No." Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun were also restrained and bowed to the promise.

At this moment, a group of people galloped into the Dongying Gate of Cao's army and headed towards the central army. The knights on the horse looked worse than each other, full of fear and anxiety.
