After Cao Ren checked the military newspaper at this time, his expression suddenly changed drastically, his eyes seemed to be frozen, and he fell into a yellowish-sized gray face.

Xiangyi fell!

This has had a great blow to Cao Ren!

As the core general of the Cao family group, Xiangyi has such an important strategic significance to the entire side in this battle.

Once there is a loss, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now, according to the details recorded in the battle report, Cao Ren's mentality seems to be a little explosive.

The money and grain that were recently stationed in Xiangyi were about to be transported to Chen State.

But he was killed by a branch of Xiangyi from unknown origin and from where he could seize the city, and seized the arsenal and granary for his own possession.

Moreover, because he went deep into the enemy's back, General Yuan knew that money and food could not be taken away, so he took some money and food to support the cost, and the rest were all a big fire and burned it.

At this moment, Cao Ren's face was ashamed of panic and he was stunned for dozens of seconds.

My mind suddenly fell into a blank space.

He couldn't seem to believe that this was true.

Why?

Where did Yuan Jun attack Xiangyi? Why did the general not realize any clues?

At this moment, such doubts gradually took root in his heart, but they were puzzled!

"Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao's son..."

Cao Ren's expression seemed to be slightly distorted due to anger. He gritted his teeth and clenched his name, and clenched his fists.

This time, he hated Yuan Yao more and more.

But although the hatred is fully revealed, the garrison of grain is now in danger. For the sake of the overall situation, he had to temporarily put down his anger and start a aftermath.

Immediately, he sent people to Chen State to inform Cao Cao of the matter.

Following closely.

Because the food and grass in Xiangyi were almost gone on this expedition, he scraped three feet from Yanzhou and collected enough.

If the war continues, Yanzhou's current production has not yet recovered, it will obviously be unable to support it.

Then, it is already unrealistic to compete with Yuan’s army for the land of Yuzhou.

Although Cao Ren was angry and resentful towards Yuan Yao, he was filled with unforgettable hatred.

But for the sake of the overall situation.

He weighed the pros and cons, but in the end he suppressed his anger and chose to retreat from Changshe, withdraw from Yangdi, and Yongqiu, who retreated to Chenliu, defended himself in order to prevent the Yuan army from continuing to invade again.

Next, Cao's army will start to face and encircle and annihilate the Yuan army that went deep into the rear.

And just as Cao's army retreated, their every move was under Yuan Yao's control.

After Cao's army retreated with full authority, Yuan Yao did not send anyone to pursue him.

It was just ordered Jiang Qin to lead an army to Yangdi, the county city.

Then he confronted Cao Ren's troops who had retreated to Chenliu.

Both sides made a move that the well water would not violate the river.

In Yangdi City.

Now that he heard that Yuan’s army had entered the city again, the surrounding people couldn’t help but smile and then poured into the city one after another.

During the Second Expedition to Xuzhou, the Cao army, under the order of Cao Cao, all the soldiers of the army showed an extremely cruel and beastly side, and raised their butcher knives and pointed them at the innocent people.

This has caused more than 100,000 scholars and people in Xuzhou to suffer deeply, and the territory is like blood flowing into a river, and the bodies are piled up like mountains, which is a terrible sight.

The corpses are everywhere, and the real "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."

Xuzhou is adjacent to Yuzhou. Under the influence of this incident, Yingchuan County naturally learned about the atrocities of the Cao army.

What's more, news is inevitably exaggerated during its dissemination.

The atrocities of Cao's army received by the people of Yingchuan were probably much more serious than the real situation.

Therefore, after learning that Cao Ren was going to lead his troops to Yangdi.

Even though most scholars and people are reluctant to leave their hometowns, in order to save their lives in this chaotic world, they still choose to take their families and escape to other places.

Or they flee far away to the mountains to avoid war and the massacre of Cao's army.

Now, after hearing that Yuan’s army had regained Yangdi and was preparing to collect surrounding towns, the scholars and people also chose to return in great joy.

Most of them have heard of the lives of the people in Huainan.

The reputation that Yuan Yao deliberately created has been passed down.

Even the people of Yingchuan gradually realized that since the Yuan family took over the Jianghuai area, the living standards of local scholars and citizens have gradually improved, and the forces and bandits in the country have also been swept away one by one.

Moreover, with the blessing of Yuan Yao's concept of selecting honest and honest officials, today's Jianghuai scholars and citizens have lived and worked hard every day, and in addition to paying certain taxes, they will also provide surplus grain for their lives.

This kind of life has been realized in Runan County next door.

The lives of scholars and people in Runan are thriving.

As the neighboring people of Yingchuan County, how could he not envy this life after witnessing such a life?

Therefore, after hearing about Yuan’s army’s arrival, the people who fled to foreign lands or hid in the mountains, couldn’t help but return to Yangdi City or surrounding towns and return to their homes.

Because the Yuan army's reputation was well-known, almost all the scholars and people at this time welcomed the Yuan army with joy.

People's hearts are attached to each other in a short time!

These benevolence and righteous ways have achieved first results today.

Yuan Yao has always paid attention to the development of people's livelihood, and his uses are naturally reflected.

Cao Ren led his troops to retreat from Yuzhou and temporarily retreated to the defense of Chenliu County.

Yuan Yao did not take advantage of the situation to pursue the situation, but instead sent various troops to pacify various places.

If there are bandits in the area ravage the prefectures and counties, a large number of troops will be dispatched to clear them out!

As for the other cities, a letter was passed to all parties. After witnessing the witness, officials from all over the country sent people to show their loyalty to Yuan Yao.

It took several days to go by, and Yingchuan County also issued an edict.

Besides, without the attack of Cao's army, Yuan Yao's plan to run Yuzhou was successfully implemented.

...

Until now, the loss of Xiangyi has gradually been passed back to the territory of Chen.

In the military tent.

The chief general Cao Cao also received this unknown trailer.

He slowly looked after it.
