Cao Cao finally ran away, blessed by famous horses and protected by famous generals. Although there were many players, under the protection of those soldiers who were fearless and even directly protected by human shields, Cao Cao still penetrated the siege set up by the players and slipped away. In the end, the players only wiped out the five warriors.

Although Cao Cao escaped from the heavens, he did not dare to go directly through the Chang'an Ancient Road Canyon of Hangu Pass to meet with the Xiahou brothers. Instead, he changed his clothes and crossed mountains and hiked back from the mountains, so as to avoid players' pursuit.

When the Xiahou brothers and Xi Zhicai saw Cao Cao's embarrassing appearance, tears almost fell, and Cao Cao's tears had already fallen, not for himself, but for the soldiers who were exhausted by him, and those warriors who were generous in order to protect himself.

After suffering a catastrophe, Cao Cao finally became honest. Only then did he truly realize that Dong Zhuo was really not easy to mess with. In fact, if Dong Zhuo was a fool, how could he become the most powerful figure in the Han Dynasty with a general from the border county? It would be strange if such a person had no skills!

Cao Cao didn't dare to chase after him, so he had to guard Hangu Pass honestly. However, there were many players who dared to pursue him. There were constantly passing through Hangu Pass controlled by Cao Cao and chasing him along the ancient road of Chang'an, which made Cao Cao shake his head. I don't know if he felt that these players were two or felt ashamed.

In the evening, Liu Bei's troops arrived late. Since Cao Cao occupied Hangu Pass, Liu Bei did not dare to boldly enter Hangu Pass to stay. Now it is a war-torn period, and no one will find it strange if anyone dies. Even if Cao Cao suddenly killed himself and annexed his troops, what can the world do to Cao Cao? No one will complain about a dead person.

So Liu Bei had to go to the temporary camp originally established by Fangzhi on the side of Jianhe River, where there was a large refugee camp. Therefore, the foundation of the camp still existed, so Liu Bei made full use of it. As for the pursuit. Liu Bei had already learned from Yiren that Cao Cao's defeat was even worse than pursuing him.

After it was completely dark, Sun Jian's troops arrived slowly. Seeing that the Hangu Pass was already guarding Cao Cao's troops, Sun Jian set up a camp a few miles east of the pass and came to borrow grain from Cao Cao. Of course, borrowing grain was fake, and taking the opportunity to establish a relationship with Cao Cao to engage in a conspiracy.

After this battle in the Central Plains, Sun Jian finally realized completely. Living under someone's roof is not a long-term solution, not to mention that they did not regard you as their direct line. Not only did they be prepared to exclude you everywhere, but they also intended to use the enemy to weaken Sun Jian's troops. In addition, Yuan Shu had no capital for a leader. Sun Jian was also a very ambitious hero, so he naturally looked down on Yuan Shu, who was a little unfavorable. As for Yuan Shao, it seemed that it was not his good destination. Sun Jian thought about it and wanted to strengthen himself to be serious. So Sun Jian took a fancy to Cao Cao, who was also as shallow as himself, and wanted to cooperate with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is now half a piaoping. He wants to find a foothold in the Central Plains. Sun Jian has Changsha as his foundation, but he also lacks allies who can support him to break away from the control of the Yuan family. The better allies should be Liu Bei and Cai Mao, but these two people are close neighbors, and they may not welcome Sun Jian to become independent and grow up, so Cao Cao became the best partner.

The two almost hit it off and discussed secretly in Hangu Pass for a night. No one knew what kind of cooperation agreement the two had reached. Anyway, all the witnesses present knew that when they came out of the conference room, their faces were very excited. Obviously, their meeting was quite pleasant and fruitful.

On the afternoon of the next day, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's troops arrived before the Hangu Pass. At this time, the fire in Luoyang City had been extinguished. The fire burned for two days. In history, the fire burned longer, but the game artificially accelerated the end of the fire, which was also to start rebuilding Luoyang faster...

In Hangu Guanzhong, the princes met again, but there were fewer people, one was Zhang Yang, the other was Han Fu, Fang Zhi, Kong Yichang, Zhu Jun and others did not attend. In fact, the princes are basically all over the world, one is Liu Bei, the other is Cao Cao, the other is Shu Yuan Shao, and the last one is Yuan Shu.

The others were just small minions waving flags and shouting. The content of this meeting was also very simple. The control of Luoyang, which was already ruined, was handed over to Yuan Shu, while Yuan Shao led the princes to continue attacking Tongguan. Yuan Shu sat in Luoyang while rebuilding and ensuring supplies.

Yuan Shao pretended to praise Cao Cao for his bravery and loyalty, expressed regret for Cao Cao's losses, and also used Cao Cao's failure to warn everyone that they should not take it lightly. At the same time, Sun Jian and Liu Bei were also praised. Yuan Shao gave a big mouth and rewarded these three people with a lot of food and supplies. Of course, Yuan Shu allocated these things uniformly. As for whether they could get them, it was not something that Yuan Shao could do.

So, in the dull atmosphere, the meeting ended. Although Dong Zhuo retreated and Luoyang returned to the hands of the Kanto clan, no one was happy about this matter. As for whether anyone laughed secretly, I don’t know.

"Ziyuan, according to the latest information, Dong Zhuo has completely shrunk to the west of Tongguan. The troops of Hedong County and the troops of Henei County have joined forces and retreated to Fengyi County, establishing a defense line along the mountainous areas. As for Lu Bu's troops, they are also slowly advancing southward. This guy has almost emptied half of Hedong County. Huaxiong defends Tongguan on the southern front, Zhang Ji defends Wuguan, and Li Jue and Niu Fu's troops march towards Hanzhong."

Yuan Shao pointed to the map and said, sorting out his own ideas and thinking about his next plan.

"In the beginning, this is in line with our initial expectations. Tongguan has the dangers of mountains and rivers, Hanzhong has the benefits of granaries, and Xiliang's war horses and soldiers in the northwest. If we continue to fight, we will not be able to gain any advantage. This is the time for us to start to withdraw and let the highway continue to confront Dong Zhuo. We took advantage of the momentum of this victory in Dong Dasheng and took over Jizhou in one go."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he turned his eyes to the direction of Jizhou on the map. Looking at the marked on it, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Is Jizhou really that easy to unify?

"It's hard! Ziyuan, Han Fu, Jizhou is good at strength, and the Yellow Turban Thief's strength is also expanding while we lack suppression. It's not easy to win Jizhou now!"

"It is true that when we start a war with any of these two companies, it may lead to the alliance between the other party. In this way, we are at a disadvantage. However, we cannot be satisfied with the current territory being self-supported, so we must have a way to break the current situation."

Yuan Shao squinted his eyes and stroked his beard slowly. He also knew that the deadlock needed to be broken. The question is how should this deadlock be broken?

"Benchu, the victory of this battle to fight Dong will bring Benchu ​​an unparalleled reputation. Benchu ​​needs to seize this opportunity, win over the hearts of talents, expand its territory, and actively develop production and accumulate population. It is indeed difficult to defeat Han Fu and the Yellow Turban Army in a short period of time, but looking to the future, these two forces have their own shortcomings. As long as we slowly plan for it, we will always succeed."

Yuan Shao nodded slowly and agreed with Xu You's statement, but he didn't understand the second half.

"What Ziyuan said about is the shortcomings"

"Han Fu's foundation! Han Fu was originally a royalist, but among his supporters, he was actually mainly from aristocratic families, and Han Fu himself did not look down on poor families. Therefore, Han Fu's subordinates should be more inclined to the beginning of the first place in terms of fundamental interests, and this group of people can fight for it."

Yuan Shao nodded suddenly. Han Fu's subordinates, including Ju Su, Min Chun, Xun Zhan, Shen Pei, Zhang He, Qu Yi, etc., are all from aristocratic families, and these people are in high positions around Han Fu. If they can persuade these people, they will not only achieve the goal of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, but may even be able to directly overturn Han Fu. The key is how Yuan Shao can make those people believe that following Yuan Shao will be more promising than following Han Fu and will be more beneficial to the family, and this is exactly what Yuan Shao is good at.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile, and crow's feet gathered on the corners of his eyes, and his hands were unconsciously wiping on his beard.

"What about the Yellow Turban Army?"

"The Yellow Turban Army is not a single piece. Although Zhang Jiao is now the leader of the Yellow Turban Thief, his brother does not seem to be very obedient to him. What's more, I have heard that Zhang Jiao intends to pass on his position to his adopted son rather than his brother. In this way, there will naturally be serious factional disputes in the Yellow Turban Army. As long as we adjust our strategy, the Yellow Turban Army may collapse without fighting."

“Adjust the strategy?”

"Yes, adjust the strategy and adopt differentiated cooperation with the Yellow Turban Army, such as working with Zhang Bao, but refuse to cooperate with Zhang Jiao."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Xu You smiled proudly, twisted his beard and continued: "On the other hand, we can choose to confront Han Fu on a small scale, which is to pull and fight, which makes the Yellow Turban Army feel that we are pleasing them to attack Han Fu. When the external pressure of the Yellow Turban Army disappears, there will naturally be internal strife inside. And we have another advantage in suppressing Han Fu, which can also make the aristocratic tribes under Han Fu see clearly that there is no future with Han Fu, which will help us win over and buy from it."

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed. The originally difficult situation became clear and organized under Xu You's analysis, and Yuan Shao's mood became cheerful. Yuan Shao, who had no confidence in Jizhou, was now full of confidence in Jizhou. In addition to the supporters of the clans who had been gathered after the Central Plains War, Yuan Shao is now absolutely confident that he would re-establish the power of the Central Plains clan group.

Xu You looked at Yuan Shao with a smile, narrowed his eyes, and then stared at the bottom of the map. Perhaps, the breakthrough should start from here. Fang Zhi’s move here is really interesting, and you can explore it in depth. (Welcome, your support is my greatest motivation.)
