The soldiers above the city gate not only had to resist the crazy attack of Cao Jun, but also had to avoid the boulders constantly flying from the sky.

Under the double pressure, one can imagine.

"Go up, go up to me." Yuan Tan kept stepping back, letting one soldier after another quickly step forward to block Cao Anmin's attack for him.

But in the face of the overwhelming offensive of Mount Tai, everyone wants to steal their lives, so how could they be loyal to Yuan Tan.

Collapsed, although Yuan Jun had tens of thousands of people, but without any leader, it collapsed in an instant.

Chapter 380 Two Tigers Compete for Changdu

Looking at the city that was getting farther and farther behind him, Yuan Tan felt all hopeless.

Lost, completely lost.

Yingling lost his hand, and the [-] soldiers and horses in his hands either died or surrendered.

The most important thing is that after Yingling City was broken, the defense line built by Yuan Tan collapsed completely, and there was no danger to the west of Weishui, and Cao Anmin's iron cavalry would enter the land of no one.

Even though he has [-] troops each in Duchang and Zhu Xu, facing the pursuit of tens of thousands of Cao troops behind him, it can be said that the situation is over.

"Damn high-ranking officers, actually betrayed their promises and ran away first. If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen into such a situation."

Before breaking through the city, Yuan Tan originally planned to deal with Cao Anmin in the city for a while, but he learned that Gao Gan had led all the [-] troops under his command to break out of the siege before that.

Without any reinforcements, Yuan Tan's situation can be imagined.

Fortunately, Cen Bi tried his best to cover, which allowed him to escape from the city by luck.Forty thousand troops, looking back, there are only a few hundred people left.

"My lord, now is not the time to find out who is right and who is wrong. Cao Jun is behind us, we must find a place to go, otherwise, if Cao Jun kills us, we will die without a place to die." Zhao Rui said, with the corner of his mouth While coughing up a trace of blood donation.

Cao Jun's arrow was so ruthless that even though it didn't hurt his vitals, it completely robbed him of his ability to fight.

In his current condition, if he didn't get treated quickly, even Da Luo Jinxian couldn't save him if his injuries were serious.

"North or South?"

"I think you should go north, to Duchang."

"Why, didn't Zhu Xu want to get closer?" Yuan Tan was a little surprised. You must know that Zhao Rui's own injury was extremely serious.An extra moment of delay means an extra moment of risk.

"Since Gao Gan breaks through, he must go in one of these two directions. With his personality, he will definitely go to Zhu Xu. If we also go to Zhu Xu, we will definitely fall into their hands. In the past, the young master was the master of Qingzhou. Armed with heavy soldiers. But if he arrives at Zhu Xu first, he will definitely take over Zhu Xu's troops. If you go at that time, you will be in a trap. Because of this, you must not go to Zhu Xu, you can only take a long way Go to Qamdo."

Yuan Tan nodded.As for his elder brother, he knows best.

If you want to blame, you also blame yourself, for luring wolves into the house, and entrusting them with important responsibilities.Now that I have come to this end, I can't blame others, but myself.

"Okay, the army will go to Changdu immediately." Yuan Tan turned his horse's head and prepared to speed up.

Zhao Rui stopped suddenly, looked at Yuan Tan and his party and said, "Your Excellency is going to Qamdo, I will not accompany you."

Yuan Tan was a little dazed when he heard this.

Right now, besides Cen Bi, there is no one available to him.

When he broke through, Xin Pi disappeared, if even Zhao Rui left him now, he would really be alone.

"Why?"

Zhao Rui lost too much blood, and Zhao Rui looked exhausted.

"Young master is going to Qamdo. If the high-ranking officials know about it, they will definitely lead the army to intercept it. Just go down and tell the other party that the young master has died in the hands of Cao Anmin. In a hurry, the high-ranking officials will definitely not investigate too carefully. Wait. When he realized it, the young master had already arrived in Qamdo."

"But..." Yuan Tan hesitated.

"My lord, what time is it now? Don't hesitate any longer. Please leave immediately."

Yuan Tan had no choice but to set off quickly under Cen Bi's urging, heading towards Qamdo.

Cao Anmin's army quickly entered the city, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Yao Guangxiao quickly issued a notice to stabilize the people's hearts.

Inside the study, Simpi's face was full of piety.

Before Cao Jun entered the city, he disguised himself and went out of the city. After the situation stabilized, he entered the city to ask to see Cao Anmin.

"Mr. George, please sit down." With a smile on his face, Cao Anmin sat there like a giant mountain, his whole body was not angry and majestic, and the aura of a superior person on his body suppressed him so much that he couldn't breathe.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao." Simpi sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, feeling uneasy.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit weird.

Xin Pi's heart was fluctuating, and he didn't dare to look up at Cao Anmin.

After a while, Cao Anmin coughed lightly and said, "Where are all the family members of Mr.?"

Xin Pi sighed and said, "All of them are in Yecheng. To tell you the truth, not only me, but also the whole Hebei civil and military families are in Yecheng."

Cao Anmin nodded.

Since ancient times, the capital has not only been the center of politics and economy, but also a huge cage used by the king to control his subordinates.

With hostages in hand, no matter how ambitious the subordinates are, they can't make any waves.

"Then what will happen to your family and dependents if you vote for me?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Pi knelt down in front of Cao Anmin with a plop.

Scholars all want face, not to mention Cao Anmin, even the Son of Heaven or the King, they seldom show great courtesy.Now, if there is something to ask, Simpi has no choice but to obey.

"You are this?"

"Duke Cao, Xin Pi knows that he has committed a serious crime, and now he is under the command of the Duke. He does not ask for a high official and rich salary, but only wants to survive. I also hope that the Duke will not spread this matter, so that my family will be safe. "

Cao Anmin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed in a blink of an eye.

"I think it's something important. It's easy to talk about. You can rest assured that before I kill Yuan Shao, there will be no leaks."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao."

"Of course, I also know very well that Mr. is not someone with a reputation. You will need to worry about Qingzhou's political affairs in the future."

Xinpi was shocked when he heard this.

Previously, under Yuan Tan's command, I only acted as a counselor, and my real authority was actually very small.

Now that he has just joined Cao Anmin's command, Cao Anmin actually wins him over with such a high-ranking official and generous salary.The difference between the two is instantly revealed.

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, I wish to do the work of a dog and a horse."
