Cao's camp.

Because the defeat in this battle was too tragic, the soldiers of his troops had long been out of control and were panicked.

Therefore, after Cao Cao ordered his retreat, he led his troops to evacuate to Guangcheng Pass without stopping, and did not dare to enter the camp again, in order to prevent the main force of the Yuan army from taking advantage of the victory to pursue it.

As Cao's army retreated, Jiang Qin led his troops to seize Cao's camp first.

Following closely behind, Yuan Yao led the central army to follow!

As soon as I entered the camp.

Jiang Qin's face frowned and his eyebrows were like a Sichuan-like eyebrows. He rushed over with an anxious expression and bowed, "Young master, I have seized a lot of documents from Cao's camp."

After saying that, he deliberately lowered his words and whispered.

"What?"

After hearing Jiang Qin's words, Yuan Yao suddenly felt a little angry in his heart.

He had previously secretly received information about the secret communication between the officials in the court and Cao Cao and Liu Biao.

But at that time, Yuan Yao mistakenly thought that they were just contacting each other. After he was defeated, he would join Emperor Liu Xie to support him.

But now, Yuan Yao is indeed extremely angry.

Jiang Qin just found a lot of letters in Cao's camp.

All are certificates of communication between officials and Cao Cao.

But content is not just about enhancing friendship.

More of them were the officials who disclosed to Cao Cao what they knew about their own military information.

The anger suddenly ignited Yuan Yao's heart.

It's tolerant, but who can't bear it!

However, the anger lasted for a moment, but gradually calmed down and his face returned to peace.

Yuan Yao knew that anger would affect his judgment and forced himself to regain his calmness.

Next, he couldn't help but think carefully. Since he had known this matter now, what should he do?

The evidence is conclusive at present. If he takes it directly to the emperor Liu Xie, he can dispose of all officials on the charge of leaking military information and other crimes.

But once you act like this, the conflicts with all officials will be irreconcilable!

If it is not handled for the time being, you can follow the example of Cao Cao, the original historian, and gather all the letters to destroy them to show that you do not pursue their past.

But after thinking for a long time, Yuan Yao felt that his current situation was different from Cao Cao after the war of the former Shi Guandu.

Because Yuan Shao's power was too strong, his popularity spread across Hebei and Ruying, so before the war, Cao Cao's men were optimistic about Yuan Shao's final victory, so they sent letters to make friends.

But now, who is the one who secretly communicates with Cao Cao?

Yuan Yao carefully investigated and saw that all the officials who were secretly connected were wealthy families from Guanxi, such as the Hongnong Yang family, which was the representative of them.

Or it is the Wang family in Taiyuan, Dong Cheng and others who were from soldiers and bandits.

Why do these people secretly understand Cao Cao?

I'm afraid that the Yuan family's power is above them.

The Yuan family's family is already in the Guandong area.

His disciples and former officials were spread all over the world.

But at this moment, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are still dominating the north and south, and there is a vague opportunity to fly into a dragon.

In their opinion, if the Yuan family continues to support the emperor, once the princes of all sides are cleared and the world is unified, how powerful will the Yuan family be?

The Yang family of Hongnong, who was also the three ministers of the fourth generation, was the most worried about this.

At present, the Yang family can compete with the Yuan family for the time being.

But what if we let the emperor be supported?

As the head of the family, Yang Biao could feel that his power would quickly surpass himself and become the most glorious family of the Han Dynasty.

This made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

Therefore, Yang Biao gathered the wealthy families in Guanxi and secretly contacted Cao Cao, hoping to weaken the military strength of Yuan's army.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Yao had completely figured out how to deal with all officials at present, which means what attitude he will take towards the Emperor Liu Association next.

Immediately, Yuan Yao secretly summoned Dong Zhao to ask him about his strategy of relocating the emperor.

As he offered advice to kill Xiahou Yuan, he became more and more close to Yuan Yao.

Seeing that Dong Zhao had arrived, Yuan Yao said first:

"The strategy of supporting the emperor and serving the emperor to fight against unjust officials may not work for us."

After this statement, Yuan Yao did not directly explain what the reason was.

After all, he could not say in front of outsiders that his father was very ambitious and unwilling to be under the emperor Liu Xie, right?

But from the words, Dong Zhao seemed to understand the implication of his words.

Then, he did not expose his words, but instead pondered for a while, then smiled and said slowly: "Zhao thought that if the young master could not follow the emperor to fight against the unjust, he would never allow the emperor to rush to the territory of the other princes."

"Otherwise, this move will have a very bad impact on the future world situation."

After saying that, Yuan Yaoshen nodded in agreement to show his support.

He naturally knew the huge political advantages that "supporting the emperor" could bring.

But for Yuan, this political advantage is not so obvious.

In layman's terms, supporting the emperor did not require this political advantage for the Yuan family, but would also cause unnecessary trouble to one's own side.

On the other hand, it is also due to his father Yuan Shu's ambition and attitude.

After comprehensive consideration, Yuan Yao also decided to stop supporting the emperor.

But Dong Zhao’s words must not be ignored at this time!

How to resettle the emperor became the next problem.

Regretto?

As soon as this came into being in Yuan Yao's mind, he decisively rejected it.

This is absolutely impossible to do!

The Han Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and its power has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even though the Han Dynasty is now in decline, it is not possible to bully at will.

Once the monarch is killed, the reputation accumulated by the Yuan clan will be completely destroyed!

But apart from this, Yuan Yao has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has not thought of a suitable resettlement plan.

As he had no choice but to turn his eyes back to Dong Zhao.

I hope that this wise man with superb wisdom under my command can give him a good idea!

Looking at Yuan Yao's expectant gaze, Dong Zhao seemed to have been thinking for a long time before he was talking slowly.

After hearing a good plan, Yuan Yao immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay", so he immediately agreed to this plan.

...

When Cao's army was defeated in this battle, they retreated to Guangcheng Pass.

After this battle, the Cao army's troops have suffered heavy losses and are now out of control and have a low morale, which is worrying about combat power.

In this regard, even though Cao Cao knew the importance of supporting the emperor, he did not dare to send troops to Nanyang to attack the Yuan family again.

He then had to send his generals to stay in the pass to garrison.

He led his main troops to retreat to the eastern capital Luoyang area and rest for rest and recuperation.

After the scout found out about this battle report, he also gave him a quick return.

When Yuan Yao heard Cao Cao's actions, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When fighting Cao Cao, the pressure between the chest was indeed doubled.

He knew very well that once he took a wrong step, he would definitely suffer an unprecedented blow from the enemy.

And just after the news of Cao's defeat reached all sides.
