Cao Ang persisted in the pursuit, and after solving the 50,000 broken troops left by Yuan Shu, he continued to pursue.

Although Yuan Shu bought himself a few hours, he didn't know how to cherish it.

Why?

He also wanted his own emperor's shelf, with a luxurious chariot, with many palace maids and eunuchs behind him.

Needless to say, the hundred officials in the back can march so fast.

Yuan Shu had to put up a fight on the way to escape, which caused a lot of trouble to the army guarding him, and the most important thing was that the speed was very slow.

A day later, Cao Ang caught up, and Cao Ang and the others completely abandoned their baggage and brought only five days' dry food.

Five days of dry food, if you chase hard, the speed is very fast.

In one day, the lost hours were recovered.

Cao Ang approached Yuan Shu again, and Yuan Shu was shocked.

"Yang Hong, quickly organize people to block it, this time we can't let them rush up again." Yuan Shu said.

Yang Hong's face was embarrassed, it's no problem to block them, but you have to run quickly, use a large chariot to take Yuan Shu slowly, and you will soon be caught up again.

"Your Majesty, the minister can arrange someone to stop the pursuers, but there is one point, please think twice." Yang Hong said.

"Say."

"Throw away the chariot, give up those palace maids and eunuchs, and let all the officials get on the horse." Yang Hong said.

"No way, I can't lose my prestige." Yuan Shu flatly refused.

"Your Majesty, no, we put down 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we were caught up again in two days, and we are going to Picheng here, the road is far away." Yang Hong said bitterly.

Yuan Shu was very reluctant in his heart, he was the emperor, how could he be too embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, now not only are there pursuers behind, Zhang Yu may also be sideways, we are going to Picheng, but we have to pass through his territory."

Yes, Yuan Shao planned to meet Yuan Shu in Xiapi City in Xuzhou, because the distance was relatively close, and it was more convenient to have Yuan Shao's army.

"Okay, then you can arrange it, but you must stop Cao Jun this time." Yuan Shu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yang Hong soon began to arrange.

The palace maids and eunuchs were driven to the side of the road and left to fend for themselves, but Cao Jun should not kill them.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's cart was pushed to the side of the road and then burned.

The hundred officials were forcibly mounted on their horses, and a soldier who could not ride a horse was arranged.

In this way, the speed of the march is naturally much faster.

As for the baggage, they didn't bring much, the soldiers brought dry rations for a few days, and some soldiers brought some food.

According to estimates, it will not take a few days to get to Xuzhou, not to mention that you can find a way to replenish along the road.

After that, Yang Hong arranged 100,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to intercept Cao Ang.

This time, the 100,000 soldiers and horses must not all be elite soldiers, and he doesn't have so many people.

30,000 elite soldiers were arranged, and the other 70,000 ordinary soldiers were arranged.

They set it up on the road.

There are more than three hours for them to set up, and at least they can make a simple fortification, which can be of no small use.

An army of 100,000 people was piled up on the road, and it was not easy to pass in terms of numbers.

Yang Hong personally found a relatively narrow place, and there was support next to it.

According to Yang Hong's estimate, how can he block Cao Ang for two days.

This time, it was Yuan Shu's descendant generals who went to war.

Yang Hong asked him to hold off the enemy for two days before retreating.

This time, Yuan Shu advanced much faster, and they all rode on horses and advanced quickly under the escort of soldiers.

And Dian Wei and Ling Cao scolded Yuan Shu in the forest.

"Grandma Xiong, this Yuan Shu grinds and chirps, how can the speed be so slow." Dian Wei scolded.

Ling Cao was also very helpless, according to their estimates, this Yuan Shu should arrive in a day, but from the situation learned from the scouts, it may not arrive in two days.

Where is this escape, is there a flight that is not careful?

This time, Zhang Yu did not attack in person, because his strategy had been achieved, and his subordinates would fight for merit, and they would get as much credit as they could.

Zhang Yu had already occupied the city of Hefei, controlled a large area, and expanded his territory again.

This expansion was different, he was slowly getting closer to the land of abundance.

Zhang Yu sat firmly in Hefei City, and the most difficult time had passed, because Jiangdong had another batch of support, not only materials, but also personnel.

The surrounding cities are largely under control.

It's just that this place has been plagued by Yuan Shu too badly.

Zhang Yu began to plan for the aftermath of the war.

Zhang Yu didn't want to care about Yuan Shu's affairs, as long as Cao Cao couldn't get the jade seal, the rest didn't matter.

"The trend of the triangle, this situation, I'm afraid there will be too many variables in the future, Sun Ce is not dead, Cao Ang is still alive, there are enough variables." Zhang Yu said.

Yes, it is a triangle right now, and there may be troubles in the future.

"This Hefei City may be the bridgehead for me to attack other places, and it must be redesigned." Zhang Yu said after studying it.

"The imperial examination... Kyushu... After that, it's time to speed up the pace of going overseas. Zhang Yu sorted out the things at hand.

Zhang Yu's concern is no longer just the current war.

There is no suspense in this battle, and Zhang Yu is more concerned about the construction of the base.

......

Back on the battlefield, Cao Ang encountered a big problem, 100,000 enemy troops were lying on the road, and they could not pursue.

100,000 soldiers and horses, even if they are not elite soldiers, cannot easily pass.

Cao Ang commanded the army to storm three times, killing a lot of enemies three times, and his own losses were quite large, and the most important thing was that they did not find a breakthrough.

If they are slowly cleaned up, these 100,000 soldiers and horses will not be enough for Cao Ang to eat.

But the problem also arises, Cao Ang and they don't have much time.

"Eldest son, if we take a detour, it will take two to four more days, and I'm afraid we still won't be able to catch up." Cao Ren said.

"Then attack strongly, even if you can't catch up with Yuan Shu, you can't let go of these 100,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that Zhang Yu should also buy us time, he won't let Yuan Shu go like this." After thinking about it, Cao Ang decided to speak.

Cao Ang didn't have much time to waste, so he had to do that.

Once settled, they went on the offensive.

Without much skill, Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers began to attack in turn.

The attack was not very smooth, Yuan Shu's army occupied the terrain, although the advantage was not large, but the terrain was too narrow, and there was not much breakthrough in a short time.

Cao Ang and they were stopped, and Yuan Shu and they sped up their actions.

Finally able to speed up, Yang Hong was afraid of long nights and dreams, and kept urging the army to move.

Two days later, they approached the ambush site where Ling Cao was ambushing.

"General Dian, things are a bit tricky, I'm afraid we're going to attack and rob it this time." Ling Cao said after receiving the message.

"What's going on?"

"There are still more than 300,000 troops in the hands of this Yuan Shu, and we have to stop it, the price we pay is too great." Ling Cao said.

"We must help the lord snatch back the jade seal of the country, and the lord is the most qualified person to have the jade seal of the country." Dian Wei said.

The task given to them by Zhang Yu was not to let Cao Cao get the heirloom jade seal, and it didn't matter if he could get it himself.

But in Dian Wei Lingcao's opinion, this heirloom jade seal should be Zhang Yu's.
