"Hey, they dare to catch up, shall we have fun?" Dian Wei knew that Ji Ling had sent someone to catch up, and then asked Ling Cao and said.

"Don't worry, they will retreat soon, we have suffered a lot of losses this time, and we don't know what will happen when we go back."

This time they killed it, although the time was not short, but they also lost more than 30,000 people, Zhang Yu has always cherished the lives of soldiers, maybe it will really happen.

The jade seal of the country is a good thing, but it is not so anxious compared to the life of a soldier.

Ling Cao was confident that Ji Ling and they would retreat soon because they were afraid of being killed by themselves, and nearly three days had passed, and this Cao Ang had already dealt with the 100,000 soldiers and horses they left behind half a day ago, and he would soon catch up.

At this time, Yuan's army was in a mess, and if he wanted to continue to advance, he had to put the army in order.

Ji Ling led tens of thousands of troops to pursue Ling Cao, but they kept a certain distance.

This Ji Ling is not stupid, he knows that the jade seal of the country cannot be chased back, but they are still in a dangerous situation at this time, how dare they chase so closely.

But it won't work if you don't chase it, because Yuan Shu is too stubborn.

Ji Ling and the others pursued for several hours, but they never pursued, but news came from the rear that Cao Ang was approaching and was very dangerous.

As a last resort, Yuan Shu ordered to abandon the pursuit and continue on the road.

Ji Ling and the others returned to their original path and joined Yuan Shu's army.

After the blow, the morale of Yuan Shu's soldiers was even lowered.

It is impossible not to be low, the emperors were all caught, and they were captured under the protection of their army.

Morale is low, and a small number of people have fled from the ranks.

Yuan Shu began to bother with a depressed face, and he didn't care about his image, like a walking corpse.

At this time, Yang Hong has been presiding over the overall situation, but he is also powerless and works very hard.

Yuan Jun continued to set off, but Cao Ang pursued urgently.

Although Cao Ang wiped out the enemy's 100,000 troops, his own losses were not small, and his soldiers and horses also lost more than 30,000 people.

At the beginning of the attack, the enemy was very stubborn and fought hard, and then after breaking through their formation, they fell one-sided, and Yuan's army quickly lost resistance.

Although the losses were not small, Cao Ang did not give up and led people to pursue all the time.

"Eldest prince, the details are clear, Zhang Yu's army attacked Yuan Shu, and even captured Yuan Shu, but in the end, he took the jade seal of the country and released Yuan Shu." A general said to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang's face was not very good, they had been chasing the enemy for three days, and they had only brought dry rations for five days.

He judged that Zhang Yu would attack them, but he never expected that Jiangdong's army would give up in the end.

If they had killed Yuan Shu, the army might have collapsed and disbanded halfway through.

As a result, they didn't kill Yuan Shu, what did Zhang Yu think.

"Passing on the jade seal of the country, their goal is only to pass on the jade seal of the country." Cao Ang gritted his teeth and said.

Cao Ren said: "This Zhang Yu's idea is really peculiar, and it won't do them any good if Yuan Shu runs away. ”

Cao Ang continued: "But it has a big impact on us. ”

In other words, Yuan Shu ran away, which must have had an impact on Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu still did it.

Zhang Yu was affected by Youzhou and Guangling County, and Zhang Yu has been on the defensive in Youzhou, and has established a big city, and has also turned off cards, so the impact is not great.

Due to the pressure from the north, Youzhou has never dared to take the initiative.

And the remaining Guangling County has a natural small impact, and it can't threaten the core area of Zhang Yu.

But Cao Cao is different, Yuan Shao has always threatened their core area, and if Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are added, I am afraid that the threat will be even greater.

That's why Cao Ang chased and fought hard.

However, Cao Ang also has a reason to look at the jade seal of the country, and now he has been cut off by Zhang Yu.

"Eldest Prince, should we continue the pursuit?" Xiahoudun asked.

"Chasing, Yuan Shu, they must be having a hard time at this time, continue to pursue."

Cao Ang: They have limited time, or dry food, so they have only two days left.

Cao Ang led his men to continue the pursuit.

Cao Ang caught up again, and Yang Hong asked the army to speed up and run all the way.

"No, General Ji Ling, you have to arrange for an army to stay behind to intercept them, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get rid of them." Yang Hong found Ji Ling and said.

"Okay, this time we'll leave 50,000 troops." Ji Ling said.

Yang Hong said: "Let the striker speed up, and probe carefully, pay attention to the ambush." ”

Yang Hong was also afraid of being ambushed by Zhang Yu and them once, if they were ambushed again, they would collapse.

Ling Cao and Dian Wei ignored the outcome of Yuan Shu, and they went back directly.

This time the loss of more than 30,000 troops, the loss was not small, but it was obtained to inherit the jade seal.

A day and a half later, Zhang Yu received the message.

"More than 30,000 people exchange for a heirloom jade seal, which is worth it, but this practice cannot be promoted, after all, the heirloom jade seal is just a dead thing." Zhang Yu said after talking about the information.

After Ling Cao and Dian Wei came back, Zhang Yu and the others rewarded them for their meritorious deeds.

When it came to rewarding meritorious deeds, more than a dozen young generals led by Ling Cao and Dian Wei were rewarded by Zhang Yu and affirmed them.

But Ling Cao and Dian Wei didn't get much credit.

At first they didn't understand, but then they were reminded and they knew what the problem was.

They were not wrong about snatching the jade seal, but Zhang Yu didn't give them credit.

The two of them didn't have any opinions, and they didn't care about this credit, but it also reminded the whole army that they must pay attention to the lives of soldiers.

Zhang Yu also knew that he had wronged the two, and the credit made by the two of them was actually quite big, after all, getting the jade seal of the country was in his own hands, and the role was not small.

This battle has come to an end for the time being, and there are many follow-up things, but it will no longer affect the overall situation.

On Yuan Shu's side, within two days, Cao Ang caught up twice and a big battle broke out.

Cao Ang killed more than 90,000 soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu's army, and lost more than 20,000 of his own.

Then Yuan Shu still ran away with nearly 200,000 troops.

Cao Ang ran out of food and could not pursue, so they walked back for a long time and ran into a grain transport team sent by Cheng Yu to replenish the grain and grass.

"Grand Prince, do we still want to pursue?"

Walking back for half a day, coming back is a lost day's time, and if you continue the pursuit, it may be too late.

"No need, we are also sleepy, and the loss is not small, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with in Shouchun City." Cao Ang said.

Cao Ang was also very helpless, and this battle could not be completed.

On the way back, Cao Ang wrote a letter to Cao Cao, informing him in detail.

A few days later, Cao Ang returned to Shouchun, and just after returning to Shouchun, Cheng Yu told Cao Ang that at Sun Ce's suggestion, the three parties would have an alliance.

The tripartite alliance will be formed in the case of a three-legged alliance.
