After listening to Chen Gong's words, Wen Chou nodded, and then ordered his troops not to stop Cao Cao.
Cao Cao walked directly in front of Chen Gong's car without any obstruction.
"Brother Meng De, we meet again."
Chen Gong got out of the car and clasped his fist at Cao Cao.
"Yes, we meet again."
Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong in front of him, with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes.
"Haha, brother Meng De, my lord has been waiting for you to come over."
Chen Gong saw the loneliness in Cao Cao's eyes, but what's the point? The situation is such that no matter how great your abilities are, you can't overturn the world even if you want to.
"Then take me to see Yuan Gongli."
Looking at Chen Gong who was in high spirits, Cao Cao shook his head.
"Okay, Wen Chou, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then we go to Nanyang."
Chen Gong nodded, and then looked into the distance. Cao Cao surrendered now, and then only Yuan Shao himself was left.
"promise."
This battle was extremely brutal, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Cao Cao's 60,000-strong army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the same was true for Chen Gong. The Guang Militia had more than half of its casualties, the Huwei Army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and the Hengye Army and the Tiger Lie Army also suffered some casualties.
The losses of more than 10,000 people totaled more than 60,000 casualties on both sides in such a short period of time, which cannot be described as extremely tragic.
After cleaning the battlefield, Chen Gong took the remaining troops and horses and turned around and headed north towards Suixian County. At the same time, he rode a war horse to Anlu to recruit Cao Ren to return and surrender.
During the march, Chen Gong directly telegraphed the news of Cao Cao's surrender.
"Lord, telegram from the public station."
Soon Tian Feng came in with a telegram from Chen Gong.
"Public radio telegram?
What happened in Jiangxia?"
Yuan Shu also became interested after hearing the telegram from Chen Gong. Could it be that they have already conquered Suixian County?
After receiving the telegram, Yuan Shu began to examine it in detail. After reading it, he immediately became excited.
"Yuan Hao, Cao Mengde has surrendered."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Tian Feng was also stupid. Cao Cao surrendered?
Are you dreaming?
How could Cao Cao surrender? This is unreasonable.
"Cao Cao knew that Gongtai was leading his army to the north, so he made a dangerous move and gave up going south with the county. He then sent his cavalry to Anlu to harass. The army set up an ambush at Shitou Mountain, hoping to ambush Gongtai. Who knew he had miscalculated Gongtai?
The strength of the troops and horses led by Tai turned the ambush into a head-to-head battle. In the end, he saw that there was nothing he could do and could only lead the entire army to surrender."
To be honest, Yuan Shu was still a little scared when he spoke. If Chen Gong did not lead his own elite troops such as the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army, and the Hengye Army, he might have been directly defeated by him if they were attacked rashly.
This can be seen from the reaction of the Bingzhou militia. If the Huwei Army had not withstood the pressure at the critical moment, Chen Gong might not have been able to insist on the support of the Hulie Army and Hengye Army.
If Chen Gong is defeated along the way, then Cao Cao will be free and can send his troops north to support Yuan Shao. Then it will be even harder for him to capture him.
"My lord, since Cao Cao has surrendered, Yuan Shao is not far from death. As long as Gongtai leads his troops north to Wan County, Yuan Shao's army will inevitably collapse."
Tian Feng's eyes were also filled with excitement. Now that Cao Cao was defeated along the way, as long as Dai's army marched north, Yuan Shao's army would be distraught, and it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to resist even if he wanted to.
"Well, tell Chen Gong to divide his troops and go north, all the way to Wan County and the other to Deng County."
Yuan Shu nodded. Now it can be said that Yuan Shao is at the end of his rope. As long as Chen Gong takes Nanyang, Yuan Shao will truly be finished.
"promise."
Tian Feng went directly to send a telegram to Chen Gong.
There has been some progress here in Suixian County. Zhao Yun also continued his fierce attack in Deng County. Unfortunately, the Jingzhou Army was indeed somewhat defeated. Zhao Yun's trip south was all cavalry and did not carry siege equipment such as trebuchets. His Yingyang Army
Hedang's cavalry army is overqualified for attacking a city.
Therefore, after fighting for so long, Deng County still failed to be breached, but Zhao Yun was not anxious, because as time went by, Lei Bo and others had fewer and fewer troops, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
Compared to Zhao Yun's unhurried attitude, the city of Deng County is bleak and gloomy. After fighting for so many days, more than 20,000 people have died. Although the casualties on the opposite side are greater, their own future is becoming increasingly uncertain.
Not optimistic.
"Chen Lan, do you think we still need to persist?"
Lei Bo looked at Chen Lan in front of him, the sadness in his eyes was self-evident.
"Haha, hold on."
Chen Lan didn't say much, just shook her head.
"Since you also feel that persistence is meaningless, why don't we surrender?"
A look of determination flashed in Lei Bo's eyes. Since you also feel it's meaningless, you might as well give in.
"My lord has treated me well. To surrender now would be to push my lord into the abyss. We cannot be renegade people, so surrendering is better."
Faced with Lei Bo's determination, Chen Lan shook her head. Yuan Shao treated them well. If the surrender switch really happened, it would be equivalent to selling the entire Nanyang. After Zhao Yun breaks through Deng County, he will definitely go north to Qi County.
, encircling Yuan Shao with Yuan Shu, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of their lives.
"Hey, let's keep going. I hope we can last a little longer."
Chen Lan had nothing to say for rejecting Lei Bo, so she would continue to defend the city with all her might.
"Um."
"Yang Hong, you've been saying for so many days, but Yuan Shu still hasn't attacked the city, what on earth is he thinking?"
Yuan Shu's army was entrenched outside Qixian County and did not attack but just surrounded it. Yuan Shao felt very confused.
"My lord, Yuan Shu is probably waiting for news from other sources. If Deng County or Suixian County is defeated, then their troops will be able to march straight in and attack Nanyang. Once Wan County is defeated, we may be doomed."
Regarding Yuan Shu's Chen troops but not attacking Qixian, Yang Hong immediately understood what Yuan Shu meant. He wanted to wait for news. Now that Qixian's troops were strong and his horses strong, even if Yuan Shu had a way to attack the city, he would still suffer heavy losses if he really wanted to capture Qixian.
If other places are breached, Qixian County will definitely not be able to defend itself, and it will surrender without a fight.
"Hehe, hehe."
Hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shao could only smile miserably. He could only bear it passively and had no possibility of taking the initiative. If other places were breached, he would really be doomed.
"Otherwise we can fight Yuan Shu to the death now."
Liu Xun stood next to Yuan Shao and looked at Yuan Shao's sad smile. He immediately became angry. It would be better to fight until death. Maybe a miracle would happen and defeat Yuan Shu in one fell swoop.
"Do you believe in miracles?"
Hearing Liu Xun's words, Sun Jian frowned. If he went out of the city to fight to the death, he would be seeking death. There would be no chance of a comeback.
"Okay, stop talking, let's guard the city."
Yuan Shao looked at the two of them, said nothing, and turned around directly to go down to the city.
Yuan Shu didn't move, and Yuan Shao didn't dare to move. Qixian's occupation was just here, and other places were fighting for life and death, but here it was calm.
Time passed day by day, and Chen Gong's troops finally arrived at Suixian County. After the round with Gao Shun, they split into two groups. One group was led by Chen Gong and went north to Wan County. The other group was led by Gao Shun and rushed directly towards Deng County.
past.
The news that Chen Gong went north directly detonated the whole of Nanyang, and the news swept through the entire Nanyang County like a storm.
The scouts went directly north to Qi County with the news to report to Yuan Shao there.
"Lord, something is wrong."
Yang Hong took the news he had just received and came directly to Yuan Shao.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Yang Hong's anxious face, Yuan Shao's heart sank to the bottom.
"Cao Cao was defeated in Suixian County. Now Chen Gong's army is divided into two groups. One group goes directly towards Wan County, and the other group goes towards Deng County."
Yang Hong directly told the news brought by the scouts.
"It's over."
Yuan Shao slumped directly on the chair, with no light in his eyes.
Suixian was defeated, and Nanyang was in danger. When Chen Gong captured Nanyang, he would be a Chinese army without supplies and would be trapped by Yuan Shu sooner or later.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Yang Hong was also a little confused now, looking at Yuan Shao with confusion in his eyes.
"Who knows this news?"
"After I got the news, I immediately had the scout locked up, and then I came to report to the lord."
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, and he immediately understood what Yuan Shao meant.
"This news must not spread. Send someone to kill the scout, along with the soldiers who imprisoned him, and then start controlling food and grass from now on."
