"Mr. Guo, you are polite. I was ordered by my lord to carry out the task. There is no need to say thank you. However, we may have to go to Jizhou next time. At that time, we need sir to go with us."

Lu Xun cupped his hands coldly. He had heard of Guo Tu. He was not bad in ability, but he was too selfish and good at infighting. For such a person, Lu Xun felt that he should not get too close.

"Here, go to Jizhou? Could it be..."

"Sir, don't you want to?"

"Oh, no, yes, yes, it is my honor to serve General Hussars, and I am willing to go."

Going to Jizhou must be to visit Yuan Shang. At this juncture, Cao Jun has sent a troop to continue northward. Chen Feng probably wanted to seek greater benefits for himself by doing this.

Although Guo Tu had a look of panic on his face, he was thinking about what he should do in his heart.After all, he may have to make a living under Chen Feng's hands in the future, so he must show some ability and credit.

Chapter 637

The battle in Qingzhou came to an end, and the main force of Cao's army entered here. Xia Houyuan, as the commander of the partial division, was not happy at this time.

Qingzhou has gone through wars, and Yuan Tan neglected governance during the war, so that Qingzhou has become poorer and poorer over the years.

During the previous battle, Yuan Tan's materials and food were basically exhausted. That is to say, Cao Jun only got land and population, and almost nothing in terms of materials.

What's even more frightening is that a plague broke out in Qingzhou. At the beginning, the people of Qingzhou and Yuan Tan's subordinates fell ill. As Cao Jun stationed here for a long time, many people also became infected with the plague.

In the previous life, both armies focused on the battle, especially on Xiahouyuan's side. They received the task of taking Qingzhou as soon as possible, so the corpses of the war dead were basically dealt with simply.

The weather is hot, the corpses decompose quickly, and the viruses carried by flies and mosquitoes spread everywhere. In addition, there are some corpses in most water sources, so the virus spreads quickly.

After Xia Houyuan captured Donglai, he discovered that many of the captives were seriously ill, obviously infected with the plague, and more and more people were sick among Cao Jun's soldiers.

"No, if this continues, our [-]-strong army will die here, Ziwen, pass on my order, the soldiers who are not yet sick in the army will immediately withdraw from Donglai and go to Beihai to rest.

All the prisoners are not allowed to leave Donglai, ahem, take away all the intact war horses, Chen Feng blocked the north, it is impossible for our army to obtain war horses from the north in the future.

For the current plan, I can only find a way to save more power for the Lord.Ahem, ahem, I hate this Yuan Tan, he actually plotted against us before he died. "

Xia Houyuan's complexion is not good. The battle these days has been exhausting, and his physical fitness is not as good as before.

In the final battle with Yuan Tan, he took the lead and fought bloody battles. The blood of the enemy stained his armor red, but at the same time, it also spread the virus to him.

Fortunately, Cao Zhang was not present at the time, otherwise, he would not have escaped such bad luck.Seeing Xia Houyuan coughing, Cao Zhang fell silent at the moment.

"There are many sick and injured soldiers in the army. If the elite main force is transferred away at this moment, those prisoners may cause trouble."

"It doesn't matter, I will stay and sit in battle. Although there are more than [-] prisoners, they are all under the control of our army. Moreover, we guard the granary and armory, and they will not make trouble.

Cough cough, Ziwen, don't underestimate me, this matter really can't help me.I have survived many swords and bloods, and this time is no exception. "

Xia Houyuan's face was full of confidence. Over the years, he had experienced countless lives and deaths. He survived facing so many powerful opponents. He had enough reasons to believe that he could survive this time as well.

"In that case, then I will lead the elite to leave, and I will leave it to you here."

These years of experience have made Cao Zhang a qualified general. He knows that this is not the time to act emotionally, and he also knows that his father still needs his own support.

Lead the elite troops to the North Sea to rest and block all the roads from Donglai to the outside world. In this way, the captives can be controlled and the spread of the plague can be curbed.

At the same time, the [-] troops led by Cao Cao had reached the territory of Qinghe.Just when Xia Houyuan made such a big commotion in Qingzhou, Cao Cao personally led an elite sneak attack on the southern part of Jizhou.

Yuan Shang, who was still hesitating whether to go south to rescue his brother, was beaten by Cao Cao a few times, and lost more than ten thousand soldiers.

Such a huge loss made Yuan Shang very heartbroken. You must know that Cao Jun only has 2 people, and he can be beaten like this. If there are another [-] people, can Qingzhou be taken down?

In Yuan Shang's mansion, patrolling guards walked back and forth, fearing that strangers would approach, Yuan Shang, the lord of Jizhou, was meditating in the study at this moment.

"I will definitely stop, Cao Cao will never fight in, I will never lose, I will never..."

Cao Jun has only captured some cities in the south of Jizhou so far, but the impact on Yuan Shang is not small. To be precise, Yuan Shang has been frightened.

"My lord, my lord,,,,,"

Feng Ji hurried in. As Yuan Shang's chief military adviser, he must not be idle at such a critical moment.

"What's the matter, is Cao Cao attacking again, come on, come on, come on..."

"My lord, my lord, please calm down."

Seeing Yuan Shang's flustered expression, Feng Ji was inexplicably disappointed.This is the lord he is loyal to, and when encountering a big event, he has no concentration.

When I followed Yuan Shao back then, although he suffered a lot of setbacks, Yuan Shao never panicked like this.

At this time, Feng Ji couldn't help but want to ask himself, was it right or wrong to follow Yuan Shang back then?

"Yes, calm down, calm down, I want to calm down, ahem, military division, tell me, what happened?"

"Reporting to my lord, the spies from the front came to report that Qingzhou had been captured by Cao Jun. Yuan Tan led his men to fight to the death to kill Xia Houyuan. Qingzhou now belongs to Cao Cao."

Feng Ji's answer was very concise. In fact, this battle was very intense and exciting. If Feng Ji could use his eloquence, he might be able to talk for an hour or two.

But he dared not, and would not do so, after all, Yuan Shang's courage had already been frightened by Cao Cao, and playing up the strength of Cao Jun at this time would only make Yuan Shang more afraid.

"My brother, is he dead?"

After fighting each other for so many years, Yuan Shang wanted to kill his elder brother many times.But when the other party died, Yuan Shang suddenly felt inexplicable sadness.

After all, they are brothers, with the same blood flowing through them.His own brother was killed by the enemy, and Yuan Shang also felt unspeakable depression in his heart.

"He died, he died heroically, he didn't embarrass Duke Ben Chu, according to the report from the spies, Xia Houyuan wanted to surrender to him before the two armies, but he sternly refused.

Before he died, he shouted that the son of the Yuan family would not bow to the dog of the Cao family.The soldiers around him also fought to the end, and no one survived, which can be regarded as repaying the Yuan family's kindness in nurturing. "

I don't know why, but Feng Ji is also a little sentimental. Although he once confronted Yuan Tan, he was the son of his former lord after all. Moreover, at the last moment of his life, the courage and courage that Yuan Tan showed was really admirable.

"Brother, you die like a man,,,,,,"

Yuan Shang closed his eyes. The Yuan family in Hebei used to dominate the four prefectures in Hebei. Now, only half of Jizhou is left to survive. He doesn't know how long he can last.

If it really came to the last moment, would he be able to fight to the end like his brother?Regarding this point, Yuan Shang is still not sure yet.

In any case, Cao Jun has already gone northward with all his strength, and the destruction of the Yuan family seems to be in sight. Whether Jizhou can hold it depends on Yuan Shang's performance.

Chapter 638

Just when Yuan Shang was panicking, Cao Cao began to dispatch troops and generals again.He already knew the battle situation in Qingzhou, and he also knew how much combat power the Yuan family in Jizhou had left.

Such a good opportunity is a good time to win Hebei in one fell swoop.Yuan Shang in Jizhou did not have the support of his allies, and Chen Feng was in Hanzhong. Cao Cao would never let go of this opportunity.

"Send troops and take Jizhou in one fell swoop, and our Cao army, tigers and wolves, will dominate Hebei."

Cao Cao waved the Yitian sword in his hand, constantly cheering up the soldiers. These years, the soldiers under his command followed him in the north and south, and won one victory after another. Now, they will continue to win the victory in front of them.
