Yuan Shao felt the earnest gazes of everyone around him, and knew that this was everyone who hoped that he could come up with an effective solution, but what can he come up with now?

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and Pang Ji helplessly beside him and asked: "Ziyuan, Yuantu, what are your tricks?"

Xu You was so angry. When I was in Huai County, I stopped you from letting you withdraw your sour jujube. If you listened to my continued advance, you would probably be sitting in Luoyang for tea now. Why did you make people block the gate of the camp here and beat them up?

Now we need morale but no morale, no tactics, and no one is willing to take the initiative to fight. If you ask me to give you an idea, what can I give you?

Xu You simply lowered his head and acted in a contemplative manner, but did not speak.

Seeing that Xu You didn't speak, Zheng Ji really had no better way, so he chose to respond to Yuan Shao with silence.

When Yuan Shao saw that neither of them spoke, he also understood that they had no good suggestions for him at this time, but when facing the princes, he had to speak, he could only respond helplessly: "Since we have no good plans to retreat to the enemy, then you should stick to your own camps first. We will rotate the guard positions every eight hours to ensure the safety of the camp, and think about ways to defend the enemy."

Everyone also understood that there was indeed no better way at the moment, so they could only accept Yuan Shao's proposal and took their subordinates back to the camp to rest and then guard the camp.

Cao Cao watched Yuan Shao return to his camp in disappointment, and knew that there would be no result in negotiations with him at this time. He thought of Liu Bei who was sent back to the camp after being injured, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who fled back with the army.

The performance of these three people on the battlefield today is still remarkable, and they are very worthy of reliance on the future, so Cao Cao decided to visit them first.

Although Liu Bei was named a prince of the country, there were only three brothers. After all, he received a tent to rest next to his camp because he was taken care of by Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao led Cao Ren and Cao Hong, with some wounded medicine and wine, to Liu Bei's camp, and asked loudly: "Xuande, how are your injuries? I'm here to visit you!"

Liu Bei's slightly weak voice came from the tent: "Thank you, Meng Degong, please come in quickly."

Cao Cao lifted the tent and walked in, and saw Liu Bei sitting on the bed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei guarding the bed.

Liu Bei's right eye and Zhang Fei's injured arm had been bandaged, and both of them seemed to be in a state of distraction.

Guan Yu sat aside, lowered his head and said nothing.

Cao Cao stepped forward and asked Liu Bei with concern: "Xuande, how are your injuries?"

Liu Bei sighed lightly: "The military doctor has already handled it, but he has no worries about his life. But his right eye cannot be saved. If you take care of it for some time, it will be fine."

Zhang Fei jumped angrily and cursed: "Lu Bu, a damn slave from the three surnames, dares to hurt my elder brother's eyes. If I touch him again, I have to poke a hundred transparent holes with the snake spear!"

Cao Cao and Liu Bei both knew in their hearts that Zhang Fei was not Lu Bu's opponent, and that these words were just unhappy and no one cared about it.

"Xuande, being able to save his life is also a blessing in disgrace. I specially brought some wounded medicine and wine to nourish you." Cao Cao waved his hand to Cao Ren and Cao Hong behind him, and they hurriedly placed the items they brought on the table in front of Liu Bei and others.

"Thank you, Duke Meng De. I wonder if our army was defeated today, will the leader of the alliance have a solution?" Liu Bei thanked Cao Cao while asking about the situation of the battle.

Cao Ren said a little annoyed: "What can he do to make all of us stick to it!"

Liu Bei returned to the camp first and did not see the fire dragon soldiers and crossbow soldiers showing their power with his own eyes. However, he also heard the pass that he returned to the next time. Zhang and the others told him a little, knowing that their power was amazing.

"The enemy's army is strong, our army has suffered heavy losses, and morale is greatly affected. There is no way to defend. It's a pity that we were originally an alliance to attack Dong Zhe, but now we are defeated by Dong Zhe and Han Tao who helped the evildoer. We are unable to save the people of Luoyang. We are really guilty!" Liu Bei's mood seemed very sad.

Although Zhang Fei was resentful, his right arm was injured and he was unable to play for the time being. He could only breathe heavily in resentment.

As for Guan Yu, his war horse was killed by Huang Zhong and he could only escape back to the camp on foot. This was definitely a great shame for him, and it also made Guan Yu unable to raise his head.

Cao Cao looked at the three brothers who were depressed and could only comfort him: "Xuande, you and Yide just need to be relieved and don't worry about the war first. If there is any change, I will come to inform you!"

Liu Bei understood Cao Cao's comforting intention, so he could only nod his head gently: "Thank you Meng De!"

"Chang Yun, I specially chose a good war horse and has already taken it outside your tent. You can try whether it is suitable." Cao Cao greeted Guan Yu who was sitting aside.

When Guan Yu heard that Cao Cao was going to give him a war horse, he hurriedly stood up and said, "If you don't have any merits, how can Guan accept such a generous gift from Cao Gong?"

"I and Xuande are now in a blood alliance. Like brothers, you are Xuande's brother, that is, my brother. What's the harm that I will give you a war horse?"

"What's more, we will need to fight Dong Zhe and Han Tao in the future, and rely on Yun Chang's bravery. How can you go on the battlefield to kill the enemy without a war horse? Please don't be polite, Yun Chang." Cao Cao tried his best to express his closeness to Guan Yu.

Liu Bei also felt that Cao Cao's words made sense and persuaded Guan Yu: "Second brother, what Meng De said is reasonable, so you can accept his kindness."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu stood up and bowed to Cao Cao: "Thank you so much for Cao Gong!"

After Cao Cao handed over the war horse to Guan Yu, he exchanged a few more greetings and took Cao Ren and Cao Hong back to his camp.

At this time, he was also very nervous. The powerful combat power of Han Tao's troops made him very nervous. Is there any possibility of winning?

He quickly arranged someone to invite Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to his tent to discuss countermeasures with them.

"You both have heard of today's battle. I didn't expect that the enemy's combat power is so powerful. Do you have any way to win?" Cao Cao asked the two of them anxiously.

"We have also heard that the enemy's combat power is indeed somewhat beyond our imagination. The cavalry under Han Tao's troops, the crossbow soldiers and the soldiers who can spit fire are not comparable to our army's battle head-on battle now." Xi Zhicai directly and objectively admitted the gap in strength between the two sides.

"What do you mean, we have no chance to win now?" Cao Cao said in disappointment.
