That night, the Cao army won a huge victory, and they finally won back some ground.
The next day, at dawn, the Cao army was filled with rumors.
The news of Yuan Xi breaking Xudu and dominating Yingchuan had started to spread throughout the army.
Many of the Cao generals were from Yingchuan, and when they heard the news, they started to worry for their families.
When Cao Cao heard the rumors, he was furious, "Who messed with the morale of my troops?" He ordered the various troops to investigate and capture nine people under the rank of deputy general. All of a sudden, all of the generals were terrified and did not dare to speak about the Xudu matter.
Cao Cao raised his tent and said to the generals, "Yuan Xi is just a lone army. Once I destroy Yuan Shao, I will be able to take him down easily. Now that the news of Xudu being broken, all of you must keep it a secret and not mention it. If any soldier asks, just say that there were thieves in Yingchuan, but they were destroyed by Governor Xiahou Yuan. There is no need to worry. "
Cao Cao's actions were to bully the normal soldiers. However, this move was effective, and the morale of the troops was stabilized.
Hence, Cao Cao started to discuss a plan to break Yuan Shao.
Xun You suggested, "Yuan Shao lost the grain from Wuchao, so the morale of the troops will be unstable. They want to move grain from Jizhou, so they need to send it from Ye City to the jujube. Why don't we split up: one to take the jujube and head straight for Ye City; the other to take Liyang and cut off Yuan Shao's path back. When they split up, we will attack and destroy Yuan Shao. "
… …
Yuan Shao was burned down and had lost many soldiers, so the morale of the troops was shaken. Yuan Shao did not have Cao Cao's decisiveness to stabilize the morale of the troops, so he could only ask Guo Tu and Feng Ji for advice.
Just as they were discussing, a soldier came to report that the Cao army had split into two, one to take Ye City and the other to Liyang.
Yuan Shao was shocked, and he quickly split out two groups, each with fifty thousand men, to save Ye City and Liyang.
When the Cao army heard the movement of Yuan Shao's troops, the troops that had been prepared for a long time moved out and charged right at Yuan Shao's camp.
Yuan Shao's troops lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions. Yuan Shao himself was only wearing a simple shirt and a headscarf. He rode a horse to the north, with his son Yuan Shang following behind.
The Cao army pursued relentlessly. Yuan Shao hastily crossed the Yellow River, throwing away all of his army's maps, chariots, gold, silk and other valuables. He only took the eight hundred defeated troops with him and fled northward. Amidst the chaos, the Cao army was unable to catch up, so they seized the Yuan army's chariots and weapons.
As for the Yuan Army, Cao Cao was ruthless and did not take any prisoners. More than a hundred thousand people were killed. Blood flowed freely, melting the ice of the Yellow River. Many of them drowned.
After Cao Cao obtained a complete victory, he rewarded his soldiers and generals. Only his fourth son, Cao Xiong, was missing.
When he asked, someone reported, "Fourth Young Master led three hundred of his men to cross the river to pursue Yuan Shao."
The left and right generals turned pale with fright. Liu Ye said, "Zhugong's sons have all been captured by Yuan Xi, only Si Gongzi is still alive, we must not lose him. Our army should immediately cross the river and assist Fourth Young Master. "
Cao Cao's face sunk. After thinking about it, he ordered Zhang Liao and Xu Chu to cross the river to help Cao Xiong. He then said, "Our army has run out of provisions and we have lost our rear. We can't delay any longer. We must return to Xu Du as soon as possible! How can we spoil our plans for one son? "
… …
Yuan Shao fled north in a panic. Only when the killing sounds died down and the horses ran out of energy did he slow down.
When he looked back, he only saw eight hundred defeated soldiers. The rest of the civil and military officials, as well as the soldiers and generals, were nowhere to be seen. Only the third prince, Yuan Shang, and his strategist, Feng Ji, were following him.
Yuan Shao discussed with Feng Ji and decided that they could only rush back to Liyang. Jiang Yiqu was there, so they could reorganize their troops and gather the defeated soldiers.
Li Shuyi painted her face black and followed the defeated soldiers with her head lowered.
There was also a layer of "chameleon blood potion" on her body, which concealed her original commander level psionic aura. When spiritual world people and awakened ones sensed it, they could only see it as a normal template.
However, this layer of status would disappear after attacking, so it could not be used as a tool to hide one's identity.
Apart from that, Li Shuyi also carried an A grade silver item: Pearl of Deception. This was an item she obtained from the Drow Elf Matriarch Cynthia's treasure chest.
It could be disguised as someone else, but it was hard to guarantee that the natives of the Three Kingdoms would not see through it. Therefore, when Bai Xiaowen gave orders, he specifically told Li Shuyi not to make a move until the last moment. Even if she had the Pearl of Deception, it was not reliable!
"Calculating the distance, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will soon meet up with the 'loyal' general. Cao Xiong … Oh no, those guys from the Divine Court, why haven't they come yet? Is my luck so bad that I have to do it myself? "
Li Shuyi's fingers held the Pearl of Deception.
However, the sound of the drum that followed shook Li Shuyi's spirit!
At some point, a group of elite cavalry had circled to the front of Yuan Shao's defeated army and rushed to kill.
In the eyes of the other natives, the young general in the lead was Cao Cao's fourth son, Cao Xiong. However, in the eyes of the awakened one, Li Shuyi could see his true appearance. Yes, he had blond hair and seemed to always have a faint trace of disdain in his eyes. It was Richard Kwill!
He had already seen him in the Aaron Bitwall. Fortunately, Li Shuyi was in the state of chameleon blood at this time, so he would not be discovered by the other party.
Next to Richard Kwill, there was a young Confucian riding a horse — this was also an illusion. His real appearance was a young priest wearing a red and gold priest robe, and he also had blond hair.
Li Shuyi quickly thought that according to the information provided by Camille, this awakened one should be the intelligence team leader of the Divine Court Training Camp … and also the support team leader, Alberta Gladley.
Since the last failure in the Kane Bitwall, the former squad leader of the Divine Court Training Camp, August Barros, and the former intelligence team leader, Andrew Newcastle, were pushed out. Behind them, Richard and Alberta quickly took up their positions. Now, it seemed that everything was right.
The young priest raised his hand, and Li Shuyi suddenly saw a huge illusion of a skeleton appear above Yuan Shao's defeated army. The skeleton illusion opened its mouth and laughed, and transparent ripples vibrated.
"You have been affected by the skeleton illusion and will undergo a willpower check. If you can't pass the check, you will fall into a state of escape that lasts for five seconds. "
"Checking … Check passed!"
"You have been actively attacked by the awakened Alberta Gladley. Within the next 30 minutes, you can counterattack, and the combat evaluation obtained by killing the other party will automatically increase by one level."
Of course, Li Shuyi would not fight back. Even if her willpower passed the check, she still pretended to be attacked and followed the footsteps of Yuan Shao's defeated army, running away in a panic.
The eight hundred defeated army led by Yuan Shao was originally a defeated army, and they had no fighting spirit. After the attack of the skeleton illusion, many defeated soldiers simply continued to run away, not daring to turn back and continue to participate in the battle.
Li Shuyi was one of the shameful members who ran away. She suppressed her speed and ran to a valley. She didn't forget to take a look back.
Very good, Yuan Shang had been beaten off his horse. Yuan Shao waved his sword and struggled to hold on, but under the siege, he was also in danger.
