Chapter 1142 Waiting For Orders

"General take care!"

"Xingba! I'm leaving too! The camp here will be handed over to your navy!"

Watching Min Ran and Xu Huang leave, Zhang He also bid farewell to Gan Ning and the three of them, and then led his troops to go west. After all, Qinghe was a newly recovered land. The previous processing was a bit hasty, and there was still a lot of finishing work He needs the cooperation of Xiong Xi's army. Apart from such a big matter in the north, what is Cao Cao's attitude in the south? I don't know here, so precautions are necessary.

"General Junyi, take care!"

Seeing that Zhang Xi also led his troops away, the entire camp on the north bank of the Yellow River was suddenly deserted. Gan Ning was also more concerned about Yuan Shao's affairs in the south, and immediately urged the navy to send the 50,000 Qinglong cavalry to the south bank, food, grass, and luggage. The same is true.

It was already two hours after the things were transported, and Yuan Shao had already entered Ying County!

"Come here! Send sentry cavalry to keep an eye on Yuan Shao's movement. The other soldiers are temporarily resting in the camp and waiting for orders!"

Gan Ning looked up at the darkened sky, knowing that it was impossible for Yuan Shao to march overnight, so he was naturally not in a hurry.

His purpose here was not to fight Yuan Shao head-on. Now that Yuan Shao is in Yingxian County, it is useless to go there. It is more important to recuperate, recharge his energy and wait for tomorrow.

"Report! My lord! An urgent report came from the direction of Jizhou. Two days ago, Night Breeze launched an attack on Bohai, Qinghe, and Hejian. Now these three counties have completely fallen into Yefeng's hands. Hejian Gongsun Zan's troops were all Annihilation, Yuan Shao in Bohai lost even more soldiers and generals, leaving only less than 200,000 remnants of the army, and retreated to Yingxian County in Qingzhou!"

Early the next morning, Cao Cao, who was far away in Dongjun, also received the latest news from Jizhou.

"What? Both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were defeated? What's going on? Quickly submit the information to me!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was taken aback, and quickly waved at the sentinel, signaling him to present the information.

Well!

The sentinels didn't dare to be negligent, and handed the information to Cao Cao. Cao Cao opened it and read it carefully from beginning to end. The expression on his face became more and more uncertain, and finally turned into a long sigh.

"Hey! This Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are really worthless! Brother Ziyun! You have become stronger again!"

After a long time, Cao Cao laid down the information in his hands and rubbed the Dayang points on both sides with his fingers. While hating Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for their disappointment, he also deeply felt the pressure from Night Breeze from the north.

In this way, Night Breeze can affect the land of the two states, Jizhou, which is still the most affluent, and Bingzhou, which has been run by Night Breeze for many years, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for him, Cao Cao.

According to information, Youzhou in the north may fall into the hands of Night Breeze in the near future. Gongsun Zan suffered repeated losses and was defeated by Night Breeze. Don't you know how Night Breeze is a fuel-efficient lamp?

"Stupid! Stupid!"

Cao Cao shook his head, brushed Gongsun Zan out of his mind, waved his hand to let the sentry ride down to rest, then summoned a personal guard, and told him, "Go and inform Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and others to come to discuss matters !"

Well!

The personal guard immediately took the order and went out, and ran to inform these people.

Cao Cao stood up and stared at the full picture of the big man on the wall behind him, lost in thought.

Over the past few months, he has not stood still. At least half of Chauzhou has fallen into his hands. Only Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County have not yet been captured, and their power has also increased greatly. Wind, Cao Cao felt that it was not enough!

Looking at the large areas of Jizhou and Bingzhou in the north where the Yezi flag was planted, Cao Cao couldn't relax his frown.

Not long after, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhisao, Cao Ren and others rushed over one after another. At first, they didn't bother Cao Cao. After everyone had arrived, Cao Cao turned around, glanced at the crowd present, and said, "North Just came an urgent report that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were completely annihilated in Jizhou, and Jizhou had completely fallen into Night Breeze's hands. Yuan Shao, with less than 200,000 remnants left, fled to Qingzhou Ying County. Here are the details The information, you all have a look!"

Said, Cao Cao handed the information letter to Xi Zhicai who was closest to him, Xi Zhicai took it quickly, looked carefully, and immediately frowned.

The information was circulated by everyone present, and everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.

"Tell me all about it! What should I do?"

Cao Cao had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and said with no joy or anger on his face.

When Cao Ren and the others saw it, they really didn't know what to say for a while.

Naturally, they all felt Night Breeze's threat, and while secretly scolding Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for being useless, they couldn't find a good way to deal with it.

After all, their Cao family can't compare with Night Breeze in terms of background, and the land is not as good as it is now. If they want to deal with Night Breeze, they may be powerless!

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, got up and said: "My lord! For the present plan, the only way is to quickly take down the two counties of Jibei and Taishan. After that, quickly send troops to Qingzhou, take Qingzhou, and reorganize the millions of yellow scarves in Qingzhou. , it is the current priority!"

"Ye Ziyun has just won Jizhou, and he probably won't go south to Jiuzhou in a short time. He will either go north to take Youzhou, or take advantage of the situation and go south to take Qingzhou, and at the same time kill Yuan Shao! Give us time to turn around!"

"In addition, we can also send envoys to form alliances with Dong Zhuo in the west and Yuan Shu in the west. They are very powerful and will fight against Night Breeze together. What do you think, my lord?"

In short, in a word, that is to strengthen oneself while uniting vertically and horizontally to fight against Night Breeze's forces.

In order to survive and develop, even Dong Zhuo, Xi Zhicai also felt that he could use it. He felt that Dong Zhuo should be very aware of the consequences of letting Night Breeze continue to grow.

Chang'an is not far from Bingzhou, enough to threaten Dong Zhuo. On Yuan Shu's side, there is Yuan Shao as a precedent. Even if Yuan Shu can't understand Yuan Shao, he will inevitably feel sad when the rabbit dies, right?

Besides, the Yuan family didn't have Yuan Shu's final say, maybe they could get someone to save Yuan Shao? When there was a conflict with Night Breeze, that would be the result Cao Cao wanted to see.

All in all, the kingly way is to unite all forces that can be united and limit the expansion of Night Breeze's power.

"Hmm! Zhicai's suggestion is very good! I will leave this matter to you!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and handed over the matter to Xi Zhicai. After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Xia Houdun and said, "Yuan Rang! I will give you 150,000 soldiers and horses. You may Within a few days, take Jibei Kingdom for me?"

Qingzhou is indeed a place that Cao Cao has been envious of for a long time. He had no strength before, but now the time is indeed ripe, and he is short of winning the Jibei Kingdom and opening the passage from Yanzhou to Qingzhou.
