Gongsun Hu is dead, and his cavalry either surrenders or plunders to escape. No one dares to face Yuan Shao and Cao Ang's tiger power again.

But even if they win, Yuan Shao and the others dare not be careless. They quickly collected war horses to ensure that they were one and ready to move at any time. Now there are only more than 30 cavalry left in Cao's army, and there are only fifty or sixty gales left in Yuan's army. If there are any cavalry from Gongsun Zan here, then everyone has no other way except to escape!

About half a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the north. Feng Ji shivered and almost fell to the ground. Before he could speak, Tian Feng was already lying on the ground, listening carefully with the copper hoop on the arrow box. After a while, he shouted excitedly: "There are not many people on the other side..."

After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved. The remaining Cao's cavalry rushed forward one after another and soon returned to the village with a few messengers.

The messenger in the lead knelt on the ground as soon as he saw Yuan Shao, and kowtowed, and said excitedly: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord! The main force of Gongsun Zan's troops has been defeated by General Tuo Yi and General Yan Liang. Now General Wen Chou is leading the army to pursue him, and our army will win a great victory!"

Upon hearing the good news, Yuan Shao couldn't help but tremble. He easily defeated the powerful Gongsun Zan like this? It was really a bit unreal.

At this time, the messenger whispered again: "Lord, the generals interrogated the prisoners before and knew that Gongsun Zan sent two thousand cavalry to raid our rear army. Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately proposed to return to rescue to prevent the lord from being in danger. But General Kuo Yi felt that the overall situation was the most important, so he took out his identity as the governor and asked everyone to continue pursuing the enemy. Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou could only obey, but in order to prevent it, the three of them pieced together three thousand soldiers and were on the way."

The messenger went to various camps and generals from all departments thought that he represented Yuan Shao and were very polite to him. Only Que Yi did not take him seriously, called him around, and did not give him hard money. This time he took the opportunity to give Que Yi some eye drops, anyway, what he said was actually the case.

Yuan Shao couldn't help frowning, and after a long time he said, "The overall situation is the most important thing, Kuo Yi did the right thing! Let's go back immediately, inform Chunyu Qiong and the others, withdraw their troops and continue to pursue Gongsun Zan's troops! This opportunity is rare, we must annihilate Gongsun Zan's troops in one fell swoop!"

The messenger agreed unwillingly, "No!" He quickly turned around and left, and went to inform the departments.

Feng Ji walked up to Yuan Shao and lowered his voice and said, "Lord, it's not that his subordinates slandered him. Then Tuo Yi was Han Fu's general. Han Fu was very kind to him, but he took the initiative to rebel against Han Fu and surrender to his lord. There are many people like him in our army, but like Tuo Yi, he is the only one who attacked the old master before he changed his lord's party! At present, he controls the elite troops under his lord's command, but does not regard rescue of the lord as the top priority, and his heart is punishable!"

Yuan Shao sighed and whispered: "Yuantu, now is not the time to talk about this. When we capture Gongsun Zan, we will..."

"Report!!! Lord, Zhao Yun defeated the defense of our baggage troops and burned our army's rations!"

"Report!!! Lord, Zhao Yun's troops learned about Gongsun Zan's failure, broke through our army's interception and went straight north!"

"Report!!! Lord, General Chunyu Qiong's cavalry was attacked by Zhao Yun, and General Chunyu Qiong was injured!"

"Report!!! Lord, Gongsun Zan broke through the siege with Zhao Yun's help and escaped successfully!"

Yuan Shao was furious: "Zhao Yun! I will kill you!"

Tian Feng stepped forward and whispered: "Don't be angry. Since the food of our baggage troops was burned by Zhao Yun, it will be difficult for us to keep our pursuit. I hope the lord will immediately order the front-line troops to collect the seized food and supplies of Gongsun Zan's troops for military use. In addition, please ask the lord to immediately order collecting food and supplies from Weijun and other places and transport them to Jieqiao quickly."

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly, but still had anger. At this time, Feng Ji smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry, my subordinates dare to guarantee that as long as my subordinates apply a little trick, Zhao Yun will definitely not be valued by Gongsun Zan this time!"

Yuan Shao shook his head, "How is that possible? Gongsun Zan is not a blind man. Facing Zhao Yun with such a stunning performance, it would be strange if he doesn't value it!"

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Lord, Gongsun Zan has always been jealous of talented people, and there are many flattering villains around him. This time, Gongsun Jun suffered a series of defeats, and only Zhao Yun was the only one who stands out. Even if Gongsun Zan valued him, he would be afraid. As long as we send someone to bribe the unqualified counselors around Gongsun Zan and let them say a few words to Gongsun Zan, then Zhao Yun will face the situation of rising and falling openly. What's more, we can spread the attack widely, so that Gongsun Zan suspects that Zhao Yun is merciless to our subordinates. In this way, Zhao Yun will definitely lose favor!"

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly and laughed happily: "I have Yuantu help, and I will be like a tiger with wings!"

Cao Ang, who was standing aside, sighed in his heart: He can't underestimate these strategists. No wonder Zhao Yun was not valued in Gongsun Zan in history and was finally poached by Liu Bei. So that's it!

At this time, Yuan Shao turned to Cao Ang and said earnestly: "Zixiu, if you weren't here, my uncle would be in danger! I heard that you lived a hard life in Zhuang County, with only one maid by your side, and even your mother had only four maids? Don't be so harsh to yourself, you must know how to enjoy life! There is still a lot of money and food in the Jizhou Prefecture Treasury, so I will do this. My uncle will give you three thousand gold. This is the gift of the elders, so you must not refuse!"

Although Yuan Shao ordered him not to refuse, Cao Ang still resigned to Yuan Shao. Although these three thousand golds were too much, if you accept it, it means accepting the reward given by Yuan Shao. Today, Cao Ang fought for life, not for this mere three thousand golds!

However, Yuan Shao's attitude was very clear, and the elders could not refuse and insisted on his opinion. Cao Ang said earnestly: "Let's do this, my nephew thanked my uncle for his good intentions and accepted the gift of these three thousand gold. However, my uncle just defeated Gongsun Zan's army and needed money and food to stabilize the hearts of the people and clean up the mess. The nephew had no spare money, so he gave the three thousand gold, which was somewhat of a dedication!"

Yuan Shao was very moved when he heard this. He patted Cao Ang on the shoulder heavily and did not speak anymore.

Soon, Yuan Shao and others came to Jieqiao and entered Gongsun Zan's camp. After entering Gongsun Zan's big tent, even Yuan Shao, who was used to living a wealthy life, felt a little extravagant - this is not a big tent? It is clearly a magnificent treasure house!

Yuan Shao walked to the couch in the middle of the tent, touched the handrail made of pure gold, held up the golden cup inlaid with night pearls in his hands, and couldn't help but sigh: "I will never know wealth since today!"

Cao Ang's eyes were also a little wandering, but after watching many movies in later generations, he still had some resistance to the golden treasures in front of him, and he did not sink as quickly as Yuan Shao.

At this moment, Chunyu Qiong strode in and said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, I'm back!"

After being called out by Chunyu Qiong, Yuan Shao came to his senses and quickly put down the golden cup, reached out to hold Chunyu Qiong, and said loudly: "Brother Chunyu, please sit down quickly. Can you capture Gongsun Zan?"

Chunyu Qiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That old boy ran faster than a rabbit, and with Zhao Yun and others guarding him, we were chasing him desperately, but we couldn't catch him. By the way, Brother Benchu, we also gained some gains from this pursuit. Kuo Yi killed Chang Du in the formation, and finally gave us a sigh of anger!"

"Chief Du?" Yuan Shao shouted in surprise. In his impression, there was no general named Chief Du under Gongsun Zan's tent.

Chunyu Qiong smiled and said loudly: "It's a black bandit! The last time we ambushed Gongsun Zan, he led his troops out, forcing us to withdraw our troops. This time, he led 5,000 soldiers to fight to the death to encourage the morale of Gongsun Zan's troops. When we were chasing, this guy was still very tough and threatened us with Zhang Yan, but he was killed by Kuo Yi!"

"Well, kill!" Yuan Shao said loudly: "These Black Mountain bandits are just for the fight! Yuantu, Yuan Hao, you two will discuss with Zhengnan later to see how to deal with the Black Mountain Army and whether you can put some nails in it! When Gongsun Zan is solved, I will return to the army to destroy the Black Mountain Army!"

Feng Ji, Tian Feng quickly took the order, but before they could find Shen Pei, Shen Pei quickly came to the main account, bowed deeply to Yuan Shao, and said sarcastically: "The subordinates were incompetent. This time the baggage troops were defeated by Zhao Yun's troops and lost countless food and grass. Before Gongsun Zan's failure, he ordered his soldiers to set fire to the grain, resulting in limited food and grass captured by our army. Just now, his subordinates found someone to count it, and could barely support our army's use for three days. He also asked the lord to immediately order the withdrawal of the troops and eat, so that our army would not be trapped in three days and would be taken advantage of by Gongsun Zan!"

"What?!" Yuan Shao shouted in surprise: "Zhengnan, this is not a joke. Our army has just defeated Gongsun Zan, and it is a good time to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle! If we evacuate, Gongsun Zan will have a chance to breathe!"

Shen Pei sighed, but could only tell him bluntly: "Lord, Gongsun Zan's troops imposed heavy taxes on the people along the way, and the people were in a difficult situation, and the food stored in their homes was stolen by Gongsun Zan's subordinates. Even if we send troops now, we cannot collect food from the people's homes. Instead of waiting until the entire army is in trouble in three days, it is better to evacuate on its own initiative. After all, Gongsun Zan's newly defeated will take the time to recover and will not go south immediately. After our army collects food and supplies, we will go north to fight with Gongsun Zan!"

"I have to do this!" Yuan Shao sighed and said angrily: "Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun!"

One day later, Yuan's army withdrew to Qinghe and immediately sent envoys to various places, ordering all prefectures and counties to transport food, grass and supplies to Qinghe immediately.

At this time, the news of Yuan's victory at Jieqiao had spread. The prefectures and counties in various places hurriedly expressed their loyalty to Yuan Shao, but they did not dare to shirk responsibility at all. The road to Qinghe was filled with large trucks full of food and supplies.

But at this time, news came from Wei County that Yu Du, Zuo Yu Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Tao Sheng and others led their troops to invade and robbed a large amount of food and supplies!
