led 5,000 Cao troops, defeated 20,000 Yuan troops, and stood outside the high walls of the Yuan army, but there was no joy on his face.

Staring at Yuan Shao standing on the high wall, he held the halberd tightly, and after a long time, he raised the halberd flat and pointed towards the high wall.

The halberd pointed straight at Yuan Shao, Zhang He's face was pale, and he didn't say anything, and after a while, he shook the reins, turned his horse and shouted to the soldiers of the Cao army behind him: "Go back to the camp!" ”

The soldiers of the Cao army who were lined up behind Zhang He also made their own gains, turned around and ran towards the high wall where the Cao army was stationed.

Cao's army had already retreated, and the soldiers of Yuan's army, who had come out of the high wall to meet the enemy, then retreated one after another.

On the high wall, Han Meng, who had just been defeated in Zhang He's hands, hugged his fists and bowed, standing behind Yuan Shao with a very panicked expression.

How Yuan Shao treated Zhang He and the others earlier, he also saw it clearly in his eyes, but now he has more soldiers and horses than Cao Jun, but he has been beaten to the ground, and Han Meng is also worried about how Yuan Shao will deal with him.

Looking at Cao Jun who was gradually moving away outside the high wall, Yuan Shao held the wall with both hands and was speechless for a long time.

A group of staff and generals standing on the high wall all looked at Yuan Shao, and no one dared to interject at this time.

Yuan Shao's face turned pale, and everyone around him knew at this time that he must be extremely upset in his heart, and if he said the wrong word, he would be punished immediately!

After a long time, Yuan Shaocai waved his hand behind him, and said in a very vicissitudes of tone: "You go, go to the rear to collect grain!" ”

Han Meng, who was standing behind Yuan Shao with his fists in his fists, full of fear, and didn't know what he would do, was stunned for a moment after hearing Yuan Shao's words, and raised his head to look at Yuan Shao, his face was full of disbelief.

The mistakes made by Zhang He and others were not as big as his, but Yuan Shao was very harsh on them, and when the matter came to Han Meng's head, Yuan Shao was magnanimous, which really made Han Meng feel a little frightened in his heart.

Han Meng's mouth was slightly open, and he was looking at Yuan Shao with a stunned expression, and Feng Ji, who was standing not far from him, glanced at him.

Finding that Feng Ji was glaring at him, Han Meng hurriedly clasped his fists, bowed down and said to Yuan Shao: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

In response to Yuan Shao's call, Han Meng maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing down, and stepped back.

Yuan Shao didn't know why he spared Han Meng, and on the other side, he broke through Yuan's army and led the rest of the soldiers and horses back to Zhang He, who had just entered the high wall, and saw Cao Cao leading a group of generals and staff to wait in front.

In front of Cao Cao and the others, there was also a low table, on which there was a small copper stove, and a clay pot was placed on the copper stove.

The sake boiling in the clay pot is steaming, and you can smell the rich aroma of the sake from afar.

Seeing Cao Cao leading everyone to stand in front, Zhang He hurriedly turned over and got off his horse, handed the halberd to the soldiers who followed behind, and walked towards Cao Cao quickly.

"Cao Gong!" In front of Cao Cao, Zhang He clasped his fists with both hands, half-knelt on the ground, and said to Cao Cao: "The last general is fortunate to live up to his mission and defeat Yuan's army!" ”

"Hurry up, please!" walked around from the low table, strode to Zhang He, Cao Cao held his hands, helped him up, and then held his shoulders, and said to him with a smile on his face: "I specially cooked some water and wine, and I was a good treat!" ”

As Cao Cao spoke, a personal soldier at the low table hurriedly stepped forward, took down the clay pot from the copper stove, poured a full cup in the wine bottle on the side, held it in both hands, and brought it to Cao Cao's side.

Taking the wine bottle from the hands of his own soldiers, Cao Cao held it in both hands, handed it to Zhang He, and said to Zhang He: "Please drink this bottle!" ”

Hurriedly took the hot wine handed to him by Cao Cao with both hands, Zhang He raised his neck, drank the wine dry in one gulp, and said to Cao Cao: "The last general is not talented, thanks to Cao Gong personally giving wine, from now on, only life will be repaid!" ”

"Good! Good! With his arms open, Cao Cao patted Zhang He's big arm with a smile on his face, first shouted twice in a row, and then his expression became solemn again, and said to Zhang He: "The hatred of the Emperor is the hatred of a certain kind." We will definitely defeat Yuan Shao and avenge Junyi! ”

Cao Cao's words came out, and the staff and generals standing behind him also clasped their fists and said to Zhang He: "But with me waiting, I will avenge General Zhang!" ”

As soon as he joined Cao Cao's account, Cao Cao treated him so favorably, compared with when he was under Yuan Shao, Zhang He suddenly had a feeling of being inhuman in the past.

With a feeling of emotion in his heart, he hugged his fists, half-knelt on the ground again, looked up at Cao Cao and said, "The last general will definitely live up to the kindness of Cao Gong and everyone!" ”

Bending down again to help Zhang He up, Cao Cao held hands with him, nodded with a smile on his face, but didn't say anything more.

The news of Zhang He's defection to Cao Cao soon spread to Luoyang.

In Luoyang, tens of thousands of troops were allocated to assist Yuan Shao in fighting against Cao's army, but Liu Wei did not have much hope for this war.

The Qin army was in the area of Xuanyuan Pass, although it defeated the Qingzhou army again and again, but the Qingzhou army was like a small strong that could not be killed, every time it was defeated, it would retreat into the mountains, and when the Qin army was about to pass Songshan, they would suddenly kill from the side.

The two armies had to fight two or three times a day between Xuanyuan Pass and Songshan, but the Qin army was never able to completely defeat the Qingzhou army.

The 20,000 army led by Zhou Cang had also driven out of Luoyang and went all the way to the direction of Wuhuan.

The Qin army had never had such a big military operation, but Liu Wei was very optimistic that the Qin army would be able to change the outcome of the Battle of Guandu.

Especially when the news of Zhang He's surrender to Cao Cao reached Luoyang, Liu Wei had already seen the outcome of this war.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu, such talents were forced by Yuan Shao to be unable to return to Hebei, and could only serve in Daqin, and Liu Wei still felt that there was nothing to worry about.

After all, he Liu Wei also wanted to cut off Cao Cao and stifle the growth of a hero.

But Zhang He was under Cao Cao's account, no matter what, Liu Wei couldn't understand what Yuan Shao had done in this war.

The guards who reported the news clenched their fists and stood behind Liu Wei.

Liu Wei didn't let him leave, and the guards didn't dare to leave lightly, just waiting for Liu Wei's order.

With his hands behind his back, looking at the sparkling lake in front of him, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked the guard: "Have you found out why Zhang He defected?" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness, it seems that Yuan Shao killed Zhang He's relatives!" Holding his fists, the guard answered.

Turning around suddenly, Liu Wei's brows were tightly locked, and he asked the guard: "Why did Yuan Shao kill Zhang He's relatives, and what did Zhang He do to make him so annoyed?" ”

"Yuan Shao ordered Zhang He to attack Cao's army, and when the battle failed, he ordered him to turn back immediately!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists, the guard said to Liu Wei: "Zhang He was intercepted by the Cao army in the middle of the road, and was captured by the Cao army led by Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan. Yuan Jun's scouts saw Zhang He appear on the high wall of Cao Jun every day, Yuan Shao was very annoyed, so he killed all his relatives! ”

When the guard finished saying this, Liu Wei took a deep breath, waved his hand at the guard, and said, "You can go!" ”

The guard answered, took two steps back, and left.

When the guards left, Wang Liu, who was behind Liu Wei, asked him: "Your Highness, Zhang He was captured by Cao Jun and appeared on the high wall every day. His Highness was stunned! ”

"Confused!" Turning his head to look at Wang Liu, Liu Wei said to her: "Yuan Shao is as stupid as you to do such a stupid thing!" ”

After Liu Wei said this, Wang Liu bowed down and didn't dare to say more.

Wang Zhen on the side turned his head to look at Wang Liu, and a faint smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth.

She thought that Liu Wei would not find this smile, but she didn't expect that Liu Wei would look at it squarely.

"What are you laughing at?" Finding the smile on the corner of Wang Zhen's mouth, Liu Wei asked her.

Liu Wei saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, and Wang Zhen didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down to him and said: "The last general just feels that His Highness sees things clearly, and it is really not comparable to us!" ”

"Less sycophants!" Waving his hand at Wang Zhen, Liu Wei said to her with a smile on his face: "I think you have already seen the reason why this king said this, if you tell Wang Liu to listen, you also want her to learn." ”

"No!" In response, Wang Zhen put down his fists and said to Liu Wei and Wang Liu: "The reason why His Highness said that Yuan Shao was confused was that Zhang He did not serve Cao Cao. If Zhang He really worked, Cao Cao, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from making a move to Zhang He's relatives, categorically would not let him leave the station lightly. Zhang He's relatives were killed, and on the surface, it seems that it was indeed Yuan Shao's doing, but in essence, he also has an inseparable relationship with Cao Cao! ”

Listening to what Wang Zhen said, Liu Wei nodded slowly, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

did not interrupt Wang Zhen's words, Liu Wei meant to ask her to continue.

Seeing that Liu Wei was silent, Wang Zhen continued: "The reason why Cao Cao led Zhang He to the high wall every day was to let Yuan Jun's scouts see it, and then inform Yuan Shao. Zhang He did not serve Cao Cao, but once Yuan Shao thought that he would serve him, he would be furious, and there was no doubt that he would be angry with his family! ”

"In this way, Cao Cao actually expected that Zhang He's family would be killed in advance?" didn't think of this at all, Wang Liu stared at Wang Zhen in astonishment after listening to what Wang Zhen said, first looked at Liu Wei, and then turned his head to look at Wang Zhen.

"Exactly!" Nodding his head, Wang Zhen said: "Zhang He's relatives were killed, it was Cao Cao who single-handedly contributed to it, poor Zhang He's anger was no longer able to distinguish, and now he has served Cao Cao, even if he thinks of this, he definitely doesn't dare to betray the lord again!" ”

"Poor Ben Chu lost the fierce general again!" With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei turned around and looked at the lake, as if talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen: "At this time, Hebei talents are withering, Zhang He will serve Cao Cao again, and I am afraid that I will eventually be defeated!" ”
