After Yang Rui finished assigning the various generals, he led his 200,000 troops and chased towards the northwest direction.
At this moment, the scouting abilities of the flying pets were gradually being displayed. After Yang Rui learned of Huang Wudie and Mogami's movements, he sent Zhao Yun and Gan Ning in the direction where the two girls went. In reality, he was worried about Huang Wudie and Mogami's safety.
Yang Rui himself headed towards the direction where Cao Cao fled. This was because Yang Rui knew that Cao Cao had always been cunning. In order to prevent the other generals from falling for Cao Cao's tricks, Yang Rui chose to go himself.
At the same time, Yang Rui also brought along the master-level formation master, Guo Jia, as well as a first-level historical general, Guan Hai, along with some other generals. They planned to cooperate with Yu Jin and the other cavalry troops to annihilate or at least heavily injure Cao Cao's troops.
"Kill!"
"Huff …"
"Puff! Puff! Puff … "
“.....”
As Yang Rui's troops chased after the enemy, the points of conflict changed from concentrated to scattered. In the area where the Yuan Shao Alliance's troops were originally at, the fighting had almost completely ended. Most of the conflict between the two armies occurred at the intersection of the pursuit.
Because cavalry had a natural advantage over infantry in terms of pursuit, Yang Rui's troops were the first to catch up to the alliance's tail. On the other hand, the alliance's troops that were lagging behind were the heavy infantry of the shield-armoured type that moved slower.
One side was cavalry, the other side was heavy infantry. Both were originally very strong troops, but cavalry still had a natural advantage against heavy infantry.
Moreover, Yang Rui's cavalry came with the momentum of victory. They were facing the Alliance's troops that were fleeing in panic. As such, in the battle between the two, Yang Rui's cavalry had the advantage.
However, it could also be said that the soldiers that were able to break out of the encirclement and escape with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, and the others were all elite soldiers. Among them, the heavy infantry and heavy armored soldiers were mostly Fifth Grade and Sixth Grade. This also provided Yang Rui with a decent source of Soldier Upgrade Skill Books.

"Huff …"
"Puff! Puff! Puff … "
“.....”
The current Battle of Guandu storyline had undergone significant changes compared to the previous few storylines. However, the overall grade of the soldiers was still around Fifth Grade. Sixth Grade soldiers were already one of the stronger grades.
As for the Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade soldiers that Yang Rui obtained from the Tower of Civilization, or even the special soldiers of the same grade, there was not a single one among Yuan Shao's forces.
In other words, it was still not the time for Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade soldiers to become commonplace. Even if Yang Rui had a batch of soldiers of that grade, it could only be considered an accidental acquisition.
Most importantly, Yang Rui's Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade soldiers weren't organized or organized. Under normal circumstances, Yang Rui would mostly rely on Fifth Grade and Sixth Grade soldiers when dealing with battles.
"Kill!"
"Huff …"
"Puff! Puff! Puff … "

A group of cavalry followed behind Cao Cao's fleeing forces to the northwest of Jiaxia City, reaping the lives of the enemy soldiers one after another.
Naturally, this group of cavalry was part of the cavalry under Yu Jin's command. It seemed like Yu Jin's men had the opportunity to easily wipe out the remnants of Cao Cao's forces and continue their pursuit.
However, Yu Jin had been gathering his cavalry and following Cao Cao's fleeing forces unhurriedly. It seemed like he was waiting for something.
This situation was caused by Yu Jin's cautiousness in leading his men. He didn't want to take risks so easily. On the other hand, Yu Jin had received orders from Yang Rui to only delay Cao Cao's fleeing forces and not give chase so easily. This was to avoid falling into the enemy's trap.
From Yang Rui's orders, Yu Jin already knew that Yang Rui was personally on the way. Perhaps this was the reason why Yu Jin was marching slowly. He wanted to wait for Yang Rui's forces to arrive and carry out Yang Rui's orders to slow down their pursuit.
In truth, given Yu Jin's personality, he was indeed cautious. However, he really didn't think much of Cao Cao's fleeing forces. In other words, if it weren't for Yang Rui following closely behind him, Yu Jin probably wouldn't have adopted such a strategy. At the end of the day, Yu Jin was still very confident in his own strength and that of his troops.
"Fine! Fine! Fine! "
“.....”
"General Yu Jin, please wait. Under the orders of the King of the East Sea, the general and his officers are to stop fighting for now and rest nearby. The King of the East Sea will arrive shortly."
As the sound of horse hooves came from behind, Yang Rui actually brought another order, directly asking Yu Jin and his troops to stop.
Even though Yu Jin thought that there might be something fishy about this, he still followed Yang Rui's order and pressed down the nearby cavalry troops, waiting for Yang Rui to arrive.
"Fine! Fine! Fine! "
“.....”
About 15 minutes had passed. Not long after Yang Rui and Cao Cao's troops successfully separated, they heard the continuous sound of horse hooves behind them.
This troop was the front of the troops led by Yang Rui, Guo Jia, and Guan Hai. They were also all cavalry.
"Greetings, King of the East Sea. I am here to welcome the King of the East Sea …"
Seeing that it was Yang Rui's troops, Yu Jin had already dismounted from his horse and bowed in the direction where Yang Rui came from.
"Eh? Why are you loitering here? I previously ordered General Yu Jin to keep Cao Cao's troops in check. Why is he nowhere to be seen now? "
Yang Rui led his troops to Yu Jin. As soon as he stood still, he felt that there was something wrong with the behavior of Yu Jin's troops. What happened next confirmed Yang Rui's feeling.
When he heard Yang Rui's question, Yu Jin was stunned. Then, he seemed to have come to his senses. It seemed that he had fallen into Cao Cao's trap.
Just the content of Yang Rui's question had revealed that Yang Rui did not actually order Yu Jin to stop and wait for orders. Previously, Yu Jin and his troops received a fake order from Cao Cao!
Putting everything else aside, Cao Cao's fake order actually stopped Yu Jin's pursuing army. No matter what, this was not a problem that should have happened to Yu Jin.
"Yu Jin asks for the King of the East Sea's punishment. In a moment of carelessness, Yu Jin fell into Cao Cao's trap of passing on a fake order. I think Yu Jin is really stupid. Please punish me, King of the East Sea …"
Yu Jin quickly realized the crux of the problem and apologized to Yang Rui.
Yu Jin was not mentally prepared for this at all. Therefore, in the process of apologizing to Yang Rui, the more he thought about it, the more he was shocked and regretted it. He was already sweating all over.
