Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 159 Returning with a big victory, scaring Cao Cao away!

The news of the Battle of Wuxiang first spread in Hanzhong, and soon spread throughout Sichuan and Sichuan.

There were [-] Hanzhong elites, but when they finally returned to Hanzhong, there were less than [-].

3 people died directly under the attack that night, and the remaining [-] people were lost among the rebel army.

Did he escape to the mountains, or did he go to Sichuan?

Whether it's Zhang Lu or Zhang Wei, they don't have the heart to take care of these anymore.

It was a devastating blow.

Not only did it hit the morale of the Hanzhong Army, but it also completely interrupted Zhang Lu's ambitions!

An army of [-] fought head-on, but was defeated by Yuan Tan's [-] army!
This can no longer be called a disgrace!
Because shame can still be erased.

But since Zhang Lu, everyone knows that if they have another chance to meet Yuan Tan.

No matter which Hanzhong general he is, he has no courage to confront Yuan Tan.

After Yuan Tan returned to Fufeng, he did not stay, leaving Ma Chao to defend Yongzhou.

He took the 3 troops of the headquarters, and Pound Huang Zhongguo Tu, back to the front line of Yanzhou.

The news also spread back to Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong.

But whether it is Zhang Lu or Liu Zhang.

They all seem to be deaf.

Completely ignored the news.

"What... two idiots!"

On the front line of Yanzhou, Cao Cao cursed heavily with the military situation in his hand.

Guo Jia stood in the drizzle, looked up at the gloomy sky, said nothing, and didn't know what he was thinking.

For the first time in his life, he felt such fear of a person.

"Bong Xiao..."

Cao Cao's voice carried a trace of tiredness and unwillingness that could not be concealed.

He threw the letter in his hand to the ground heavily, clenching his teeth.

"Send an order to Yuan Rang and the others to suspend the attack on Yanzhou! That son of the Yuan family has already returned from Yongzhou!"

After saying this, Cao Cao didn't want to stand still anymore, sighed heavily, and walked back to the camp with a flick of his sleeves.

He is not reconciled!
"Withdrawal? Why?"

On the Yanzhou front line, Xiahou Dun was holding a silver gun and was urging his soldiers to carry the ladder forward under the city.

But unexpectedly, when he received the news from Cao Cao in the rear camp, a cold light flickered in one eye, and he stared at the messenger.

What a joke!
In Yanzhou City, the Hebei army is currently gathering, but Xiahou Dun is in charge of supervising the battle on the front line, so he has a clear view of the actual situation in Yanzhou City!
Right now, the army in Hebei is only strong, but morale has reached a critical point.

After several days of besieging the city, the Hebei army is now exhausted, but Cao Cao's side, on the other hand, is because of the victory in Youzhou.

Just when the morale is like a rainbow, you should go all out and storm Yanzhou City before you can make a contribution in one fell swoop!
What kind of operation is removing the siege now?
The messenger subconsciously lowered his head, shivered for a while, not daring to look at Xiahou Dun, and said in a low voice:
"Back to General, it seems that there is news from Yongzhou. The coalition forces organized by Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were defeated by Yuan Tan in three battles and have now returned to Hanzhong and Sichuan!"

boom!
Hearing the news, Xiahou Dun got up suddenly, his one-eyed eyes were full of shock.

"How is it possible? Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu joined forces, and even a 20 army can gather together. How could it be possible to be defeated by Yuan Tan Xiaoer in three battles!"

20 million troops!

Even if 20 pigs are put together, they can't be defeated so quickly.

Xiahoudun wanted to grab Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang by the neck and ask how the two of them fought!
In front and back of Yanzhou City, only [-] soldiers and horses left!

3 people, will the 20 troops be defeated?

Xiahou Dun took a deep breath, and with difficulty moved his eyes away from Yanzhou City, clenched his teeth and closed his one-eyed eyes, turned his head, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth:

"Ming Jin, withdraw troops!"

On Yanzhou City, Zhang Jaw, who was almost exhausted, watched the retreat of Cao Cao's army below the city, feeling confused.

"General, Cao Jun has retreated, do you want to pursue it?"

Beside Zhang Jaw, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang leaned on the spear in his hand and asked pantingly.

Zhang Jai shook his head, looked back at the soldiers who were also exhausted, and said slowly:
"Cao Cao is treacherous and full of tricks. This sudden withdrawal of troops, there is no guarantee that he is not using some tricks. Let's wait and see and let the soldiers rest..."

Before Zhang Jaw could finish his words, a fast horse rushed in from the back gate of Yanzhou City, and the soldier who summoned the messenger had an ecstatic smile on his face, and he didn't bother to report the letter after entering the mansion, shouting loudly along the way !
That voice, they could even hear the jaws on the top of the city!
"Report! Yongzhou urgent report! The Eldest Young Master defeated Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, the [-] troops in Hanzhong were defeated, Liu and Zhang turned against each other, and the Eldest Young Master is about to return!"

what?
Hearing this news, it doesn't matter if you open your jaw, or Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.

All the Hebei soldiers in Yanzhou City were stunned on the spot.

Eldest son, have you won?

Destroy the Liu Zhang coalition?

Wasn't it a few days ago that the eldest son was trapped in Hanzhong, and it might be difficult to return to the teacher for a while?
Zhang Ja and the others couldn't hide the shock in their hearts. After arranging the city defenses, they hurried down the tower and rushed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Before entering the prime minister's mansion, he heard Yuan Shao's laughter coming from the mansion!
"Hahaha, good! Good! You are worthy of being the unicorn of my Yuan family! Thief Cao's treacherous plan was defeated in the first battle, and the combined army of Liu and Zhang was gone. Look at Cao Aman, what else can he use to fight me!"

And all the generals and scribes of the Yuan family were shocked.

Fortunately, although Yuan Shao was shocked, he still kept his composure. When he saw Zhang Yun and others coming in, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Junyi, it's been hard for you to defend the city this time, but it's okay, Tan'er will be back soon, and then you can take a good rest."

Zhang He cupped his fists and saluted Yuan Shao: "Junyi, thank you for your understanding, but my subordinates still don't know how the eldest son managed to defeat the Hanzhong army?"

Yuan Shao smiled and handed over the military report in his hand. Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward to take it. After unfolding it, he read it word by word, fearing that he missed something.

But after reading it, Zhang He's doubts were not resolved.

On the contrary, he was even more confused.

What kind of battle is this?

[-] cavalry, attacking head-on, and then being defeated on the opposite side?

What about tricks?
What about vertical strategy?

What about the ambush?
Don't they all say that military tactics are deceitful?
After much deliberation, Zhang Yun couldn't figure out how Yuan Tan managed to do this.

However, after all, he had worked with Yuan Tan and knew that Yuan Tan was indeed very strong.

The reason can only be attributed to the fact that Yuan Tan's bravery boosted the morale of the army, and then broke the morale of the Hanzhong army.

However, Zhang He could accept it, but it didn't mean that those who didn't like Yuan Tan could accept this result.

However, in the current situation, they really can't say much.

Because this big victory came too timely!

Since the news of Youzhou's attack came back, although the front line of Yanzhou could barely defend against Cao Cao's offensive.

But the impact of Youzhou's defeat is almost visible to the naked eye. The most intuitive manifestation is that Yuan Jun could still send generals out of the city from time to time.

Lead the soldiers to kill a few battles.

But since the first battle in Youzhou, Yuan Shao never sent troops out of the city to fight.

It was entirely relying on Zhang Yun to lead the troops and relying on the defense of Yanzhou's fortified city to resist Cao's onslaught.

But now, there is no need for Yuan Shao to organize a counterattack. Cao Jun himself has already lifted the siege, and dare not continue to attack the city.

Instead, they began to shrink the various camps, and honestly prepared to defend the camps.

At this moment, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, many people couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts.

It turns out that without realizing it, Yuan Tan has grown to the point where his reputation alone is enough to scare away all the princes?
