Jushou was dressed as a scribe, but he was holding a long sword and rushed to the front of the team.
Under his encouragement, the morale of the hundreds of selected dead soldiers was also greatly boosted.
They fought bloody battles and finally opened a bloody path for Yuan Shao and his party.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was about to escape to the shore, a ball of silver light danced out of Zhao Yun's spear, and he forcefully drove back the surrounding soldiers of Yuan Shao.
Then he whistled.
The red rabbit horse not far away neighed and galloped over.
Zhao Yun grabbed the reins, got on his horse, and pursued Yuan Shao.
The soldiers Yuan encountered along the way were unable to stop this man or his horse.
"Lord, get on the boat quickly!"
Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others supported Yuan Shao and were about to board the boat when they heard the sound of horse hooves.
When they turned around to look, they were shocked.
I saw Zhao Yun rushing over like a god descending from heaven!
Before they could react, Zhao Yun threw the gentian silver spear in his hand with all his strength!
This powerful and heavy shot pierced the sky like lightning and hit Yuan Shao in the chest!
Although he was protected by sophisticated armor, Yuan Shao was still knocked to the ground and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
"Father!"
"Lord!"
Everyone immediately panicked, helping Yuan Shao with their hands and feet, and fled towards the boat.
Sergeant Yuan on the ship was afraid that Zhao Yun would follow him, so they raised their bows and rained arrows on him.
Zhao Yun had no choice but to pull the reins and retreat towards the rear, watching helplessly as Yuan Shao boarded the boat and escaped for his life!
As Yuan Shao escaped, the war on the north bank came to an end.
Yuan's soldiers, who were originally at a disadvantage, were completely defeated after Cao Cao's army joined the battlefield.
They either chose to escape, or dropped their weapons and surrendered to Cao Jun!
…
That night.
Cao Cao's army set up a camp on the north bank. The camp was brightly lit. It was Cao Cao who was holding a celebration banquet for today's victory.
Chinese army camp.
Cao Cao stood up in person, walked to Yang Ling, took his arm, and smiled affectionately,
"I can defeat Yuan Shao and achieve a great victory, and Zi Yi should be the first to take the lead!"
Similar to Yuan Shao's situation, Cao Cao also had many factions under his command.
It was only because of his clever methods and ability to suppress many factions that the struggle was not so intense.
But when Cao Cao admired Yang Ling so much, no one had any objection.
After all, everyone saw what Yang Ling did in this battle with Yuan Shao.
First, they rushed to the rescue of Baima, killed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, and defeated Guo Tu and Zhang He.
Then he proposed to divide his troops in Hanoi and took the initiative to go there. He defeated Guo Tu again and forced Yuan Shao to retreat.
Finally, the troops marched in danger, gave up the attack on Yecheng, and went straight to Yuan Shao with a single army.
This series of operations finally led to a strategic victory!
After this battle, it can be said that Yuan Shao's previous advantage is gone!
"The Prime Minister has given you too much praise. It was only under the leadership of the Prime Minister that I achieved what I have achieved today."
Yang Ling smiled modestly.
Seeing how sensible he was, Cao Cao's smile became brighter and he raised his wine glass.
"Come, let's all drink this cup together for Mr. Wu Guanzhong!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all!
Cao Cao put down his wine glass and looked at Zhang He and Gao Lan beside him.
"These two are General Junyi and Jingzhi, right?"
Their hearts trembled, and they quickly stood up and said respectfully,
"I've met the Prime Minister!"
"Okay, these two generals are really brave and brave!"
Cao Cao praised.
"Prime Minister, you're too polite. We are just surrendered generals. How can we be called heroic?"
Zhang He said with a bitter smile.
"You can't say that. It's commendable that you two can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Without you, it would not be so easy to defeat Yuan Shao today."
Cao Cao said with a smile.
If Zhang He hadn't persuaded Gao Lan today, it would have taken a lot of effort to defeat Yuan Shao.
In order to show the importance to the two of them, Cao Cao also appointed them as partial generals.
In addition, they were also granted the title of marquis and were rewarded with money and real estate.
At this moment, Ju Shou, who was tied up with five flowers, followed several soldiers to the camp.
During today's battle, in order to cover Yuan Shao's retreat, he led hundreds of dead soldiers to stop Gan Ning and Huang Zhong.
In the end, he was captured by Cao's army because he was outnumbered.
"Mr. Zezhu is a famous person in Hebei. How can you treat him like this?"
Cao Cao reprimanded unhappily, and even stepped forward in person to untie the rope from Ju Shou's body, and said with a smile,
"Come here, quickly arrange a seat for Mr. Zezhu."
"No need."
Jushou moved his hands and feet, his face remained as normal as usual,
"I am a defeated man. If you want to kill or behead him, just follow the Prime Minister's orders."
"It is worth noting that what you said is wrong. I have long admired your name, but I just can't wait to meet you."
Cao Cao smiled affectionately and said,
"If we can meet you sir as soon as possible, the world will not worry about you!"
But in the face of Cao Cao's enthusiasm, Ju Shou smiled faintly.
"If the Prime Minister wants to recruit me, I'm afraid he will be disappointed. How can a loyal minister serve two masters?"
Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Xu You on the side all looked a bit unnatural.
Cao Cao frowned, then smiled and said,
"It's so touching that Mr. Sir is so loyal."
"It's a pity that despite being so talented, Mr. Yuan Shao cannot reuse him."
"As long as Yuan Shao is willing to reuse him, I'm afraid I will be the one who loses today."
Hearing this, Jushou's eyes flashed with sadness.
What Cao Cao said is absolutely correct.
If Yuan Shao hadn't listened to Guo Tu's slander and transferred him from Hanoi County, how would what happened later happen?
He sighed,
"It's useless to talk more! If the Prime Minister wants me to take refuge, it's impossible. One day, I will return to Hebei."
Cao Cao had a headache now and could only look at Yang Ling.
Yang Ling thought for a while and just shook his head slightly.
There are many famous people in Hebei who loyally recommend Jujun.
Ju Shou is actually the most talented and loyal person under Yuan Shao.
Historically, he refused to surrender and even planned to return to Hebei to join Yuan Shao.
Just like Chen Gong back then, it was almost impossible to persuade him to surrender!
Yang Ling admired Jushou for having such integrity, but letting Jushou go back would only cause unnecessary trouble.
A flash of regret flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and finally he sighed,
"Forget it, let's send Mr. Zezhu on his way!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Jushou saluted to Cao Cao without fear, and then, accompanied by several soldiers, walked out of the camp with his head held high.
After Ju Shou's incident, the atmosphere in the tent became much duller.
Cao Cao coughed lightly and asked Cao Ang,
"Zixiu, what's going on over there with Yuan Shao?"
"Reporting to my father, according to the spies' report, Yuan Shao did not return to the south bank, but went ashore downstream."
"His troops on the south bank also continued eastward, and then crossed the river by boat."
Cao Ang said respectfully.
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt relieved, smiled and raised his glass and said,
"Come on, come on, keep drinking."
…
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao's army camp.
All the soldiers were dejected, and the camp was shrouded in gloom and gloom.
Everyone, led by Yuan Shang, Shen Pei and Feng Ji, gathered outside Yuan Shao's camp.
