I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Three days.

Three days had passed since Cao Mao scattered his troops to plunder until Yuan Shao's army appeared a hundred li outside Yecheng.

At the beginning, the soldiers of Cao Jun sent the captured grain and grass to Cao Mao's army.

On the second and third days, due to the harvest of too many spoils, it was impossible to carry them.

Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others simply stopped confiscating the grain and burned it all, only taking the money with them.

When they received the order to turn back to Yecheng, every cavalry team had reaped a lot of property!
During these three days, Cao Jun's cavalry came and went like the wind.

Their iron hoofs traveled all over Weijun, Zhaoguo, Changshanguo, Julujun and other places, and almost ran over half of Jizhou.

Wherever he goes, it can be said that there is no grass growing!
Looking at the mountains of gold, silver and jewels in the camp, even Cao Mao couldn't help showing a smile.

Although the plundering of Jizhou this time will definitely cause infamy.

But with so much property, he also has the capital to expand the army, and also weakens Yuan Shao's strength in a disguised form.

Looking at it this way, it's a good deal.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's vanguard army is less than fifty miles away from here."

Zhou Cang rushed in from outside the tent and reported in a deep voice.

"The enemy army is coming so fast, Yuan Shao must be in a hurry."

Pang Tong smiled slightly,
"My lord, we should retreat."

"That's right, order to go down and retreat!"

Cao Mao nodded slightly.

This time they marched into Yecheng and forced Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops.

I only have 2 horses in my hands. If Yuan Shao's army bites him, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Then it's not worth it.

Following Cao Mao's order, the soldiers of the Cao army who had been prepared for a long time quickly pulled out their camps and retreated to Hanoi County in an orderly manner!
As for Zhang He, Feng Ji, and Shen Pei on the city wall, they also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Cao Jun retreat.

It won't take long.

Suddenly the sky in the south was filled with dust, and there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

A moment later, a cavalry team, like a torrent of steel, rolled up dust all over the sky, and was rushing towards this side at a high speed.

And among the flags they raised, apart from the one representing Yuan Jun, there was another big flag with the word "Yan"!

It is Yan Liang's department!
"It's General Yan who is here!"

Seeing Yan Liang's army coming, the sharp-eyed Feng Ji couldn't help but let out a cry.

Everyone was happy, and they hurriedly went down to the city and opened the city gate!

This cavalry came to the gate of Ye City like a whirlwind!

Yan Liang, who took the lead, got off his horse, strode up to the three of them, and asked in a deep voice,
"Where are the soldiers and horses of Cao Jun?"

His voice was like thunder, and his eyes were full of cold light, which made people feel timid in their hearts!
The three looked at each other.

Feng Ji, as the supervisor of the whole army, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,
"After learning that the general led people to come, the Cao army retreated..."

"Then why did you just sit back and watch them leave instead of sending someone after them?"

Yan Liang interrupted him roughly, and asked coldly.

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that Cao's army is so powerful that he attacked rashly. I'm afraid we will lose Yecheng..."

Feng Ji forced a smile on his face.

Yan Liang's cold eyes stared at Feng Ji for a while.

Looking at him, his heart was trembling, he was afraid that Yan Liang would cut himself off with a single knife.

"Save these remarks and explain them to the lord!"

Yan Liang sneered, then retreated to the side holding the weapon.

"Where is my lord at the moment?"

Feng Ji was taken aback.

"After knowing that Yecheng was trapped and Cao Jun plundered Jizhou, my lord quickly crossed the Yellow River and rushed towards Yecheng!"

"Do you know how many people and supplies were lost to support you?"

When Yan Liang mentioned this, his face was full of anger and disdain,

"But I didn't expect you to be so useless!"

His scolding made Feng Ji's face turn livid,

"It's up to the master to decide whether it's right or wrong! Yan Liang, don't you want to be so rampant in front of me!"

Yan Liang sneered again and again, and stopped talking.

Not to mention the factions of counselors under Yuan Shao's command, civil servants and military generals also dislike each other!

Previously, Yan Liang had been bullied by these scholars, but now that he finds an opportunity, he naturally has to mock him severely!
Everyone waited patiently in the city gate.

After another hour or two, the sound of rumbling horseshoes was heard again in the distance.

But compared with the previous Yan Liang's subordinates, the movement at this moment is even more turbulent!

I saw a lot of banners and flags covering the sky and the sun, and the dense knives and guns in the hands of the soldiers were like the dense fangs of the god of death!
Being rushed by the army, the dust rolled up is like an earth dragon!
It was Yuan Shao's army!
And the person at the head, wearing a black armor with a majestic expression, is Yuan Shao himself!

When the army approached Yecheng, Yuan Shao dismounted from his horse and walked slowly to the city gate surrounded by his servants.

Yan Liang, Feng Ji and others didn't dare to neglect, they hurried forward and saluted together.
"We greet the lord!"

"Look at what you've done!"

Yuan Shao glared at Feng Ji, Zhang He, and Shen Pei, his expression was extremely gloomy!

Before he came back, he had already received the news that Yan Liang had sent someone back, so he naturally knew about Cao Jun's retreat!
This time Yuan Shao mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, high-spirited, and wanted to take down Cao Cao in one fell swoop!
However, before he started the final battle with Cao Cao, he was forced to retreat from the south bank, so that he lost some troops, as well as a large amount of food and supplies!

All this is to be blamed on Cao Mao!
If it weren't for his repeated successes on the Western Front, which caused him to lose nearly 10 horses, how could the battle be so passive?
But after he looted most of Jizhou, Feng Ji and others sat back and watched him leave.

How could this not make Yuan Shao angry!
If he didn't have a little reason left, he would have wished to chop Feng Ji and Zhang Xi off with one blow!
Feng Ji, Zhang He, and Shen Pei felt particularly wronged.

They were trapped in the city without any contact with the outside world, how could they know that Yuan Shao withdrew so quickly!

If they knew it in advance, they would naturally hold back Cao Mao's army and prevent them from leaving easily!

"The Cao army only has 2 people, and they carry a lot of property, so they move slowly."

"Why don't you give me 3 horses and go after them?"

"If you can defeat Cao Mao, it will be considered a gain."

Yan Liang at the side stood up and volunteered.

Yuan Shao's face was uncertain.

Judging from the information received in the past few days, Wei Jun, Zhao Guo and other places have been ruined by Cao Jun.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing to let him go like this?
If Yan Liang can defeat Cao Mao, he can also save a little face and loss.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao nodded heavily,
"Okay! I will allocate 5 horses to you!"

"In addition, Zhang Yun, Guo Yuan, and Meng Dai will be assigned to you!"

Yan Liang bowed his hands and said in a deep voice,

"My lord, please don't worry, the general will definitely bring Cao Mao's head to see the lord!"
