Chapter 496: Rush to the Rescue

"Lord, do you believe in that Xu Yu Xu Wenyuan so much? What if there is fraud in it! Xun Yu and the others on the side dissuaded Cao Cao, not wanting Cao Cao to take such a risk to send troops, even if he was willing to risk sending troops, he should not go in person.

"Do you know why I agreed to Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan all of a sudden?" Cao Cao said to these civil and military generals under his command, he knew that these civil and military generals under his command were all concerned about him Cao Cao spoke, and they were all his Cao Cao's henchmen.

"Somebody get the letter!" Cao Cao shouted to his men.

"Yes!" Soon a cronie brought the letter.

Everyone was puzzled, what does this trust have to do with this letter?

"Just open it and see!" As he spoke, he handed the letter to the people over there, and Cao Cao said as he walked while supporting everyone to read the letter, "This letter was given to me by Yuan Yao'er when he was in Huainan, and told me that if I was forced to defeat Yuan Shao, I would open it and watch it, I didn't believe it at first, but today I have to believe it!" ”

Everyone opened the letter and looked at it, but they were surprised because there were only two words on it, that is, the black nest!

That's right, it's Wuchao, Yuan Yao can't remember the specific situation of the Battle of Guandu, but he knows where the turning point of the Battle of Guandu is, isn't it the Battle of Wuchao?

Wuchao is where Yuan Shao hoards military rations, people are not machines who have to eat without a meal, people are iron rice is steel and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal, even if they are elite trump cards, they have to eat, Yuan Shao has too many soldiers and horses, even if he stands and cuts him Cao Cao, he Cao Cao will be tired to death.

And once the black nest is destroyed, it will be different, without food, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have only two ways, either starve to death, or fail to surrender.

Everyone looked at the date of this letter, the battle of Guandu has not yet begun, has this Yuan Yao Xiaoer guessed the location?

"Lord, it can't be the treacherous plan of Yuan Yao'er and Yuan Shao!" Someone asked hesitantly.

"Why did he, Yuan Yao, join forces with Yuan Shaojun to lie to me? I only need to send a group of soldiers and horses from Huainan to attack my Yingchuan generation, and my Cao Cao will definitely be defeated! Cao Cao is calm, this Yuan Yao has no need to take off his pants and fart, if he unites with Yuan Shao and sends troops directly, it is impossible for him Cao Cao to start a war on both sides.

"What's more, you don't understand!" Cao Cao smiled mysteriously, he and Xu You Xu Ziyuan have known each other for not a year or two, the original Xu You Xu Ziyuan and the current Xu You Xu Ziyuan are the same, that is, they are afraid of death, and Xu You must not be a person who is willing to sacrifice himself! If he was loyal to Yuan Shao, why did he come to Cao Ying?

And he didn't join forces with Xu Shao to deal with Yuan Shao back then, once Yuan Shao distributed the spoils unevenly or wanted to swallow it alone, Xu You secretly would join Cao Cao to calculate Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao had been kept in the dark and didn't know

Cao Cao said so, he was familiar with these two people, so it was impossible to trust these two people even more, and everyone was slowly relieved, too! The head of their family has always been a very suspicious character, and it is impossible to hand over his little life in Tsing Yi, and being able to take the initiative to fight this time shows that there is not much of a problem.

It's just that they don't know that Cao Cao's palms are also breaking out in a cold sweat, he is also gambling, betting that Yuan Yao is right, betting that Xu You is not a person who sacrifices himself.

If he was wrong, he Cao Cao would have to take his life, but he Cao Cao had no choice.

There is no third way to choose except to defeat Yuan Shao and commit suicide, so Cao Cao chose to fight.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Cao Cao's army had already prepared food, and the war horses were fed, and Yuan Shaojun's banners and clothes in the Cao army still had a lot of banners and clothes, and some of the war horses were hit with some Meng Huoyou, and they began to set off.

Among Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side, because of Yuan Shang's victory in Xuzhou, coupled with Yuan Yao's softness, Yuan Shao was very happy, and all the soldiers and horses under his hands rewarded drinks and banquets.

The night gradually became a general, the sun was slowly covered by the night, and today's Tiangong also helped Cao Cao, who had always been bright moonlight, but today he shyly hid in the dark clouds, leaving only the night.

The tigers and leopards rode 5,000 times, and all the horses were tied with ropes, and their feet were padded with cloth, so that no one could find out.

Five thousand war horses and five thousand elite tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers set off in the starry night, and the target was Yuan Shao's Wuchao camp.

"Who?" The 5,000 elite tiger and leopard riders have finally reached the first level!

The people under Cao Cao subconsciously wanted to step forward and kill these Yuan Shaojun first, but they were stopped by Cao Cao, "We are."

The captain of the Grain Battalion under the command of the Lord went to the Black Nest on the orders of the Lord Lord! "Xu You was still Yuan Shao's right-hand man before he defected, so he was still very clear about some of Yuan Shaojun's things.

Looking at the tone, tone, and number of the words are all quite right, the people in this first level nodded without thinking about it, "Open the fortress and let them go!" ”

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, the first level was passed.

The five thousand tigers and leopards continued to march in the direction of the black nest.

"My son Yuan Shang, good, good, worthy of being my Yuan Shao's son, what is Yuan Yao? Yuan Highway, have you seen it, my son is stronger than your son haha! Haha" Yuan Shao was drinking wine in the camp.

Five thousand tigers and leopards marched for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the second level, Cao Cao thought that this second level would be the same as the first level, but who knows, these individuals didn't ask them who they were, and directly opened the fortress door and let them leave.

It turned out that in their opinion, if it was an enemy, it should have been blocked as early as the first gate, not the second line of defense.

Five thousand tigers and leopards continued to gallop, Cao Cao's whole body was so bumpy that his body was uncomfortable, although Lao Cao had fought for so many years, but after all, he was old, and such a rapid march was unbearable.

"Lord, lord, are you okay!" Xiahou Chun and the others on the side hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Cao Cao with concern, "Lord, why don't we rest for a while!" Looking at Cao Cao's pale face, the generals of Cao Jun on the side became worried.

"I'm okay? You can't stop! Cao Cao endured the discomfort of his body and said to the soldiers under his hands: "If we lose like this, then Yanzhou will lose, and the Hebei army will go south completely, think about your family, think about your homes in Yanzhou, we can't afford to lose!" This battle must be won! Cao Cao roared in a low voice.

"Okay, everyone continue to march, and General Lejin will teach you to take care of it for the time being!" Xiahou Chun took the lead and left as the vanguard, and Le Jin took care of Cao Cao in the Chinese army.

Compared with Cao Cao's suffering, the Hebei Army is different, the dinner is slowly coming to an end, this dinner prepared for Yuan Shang's victory, even the people on the side of the eldest prince Yuan Tan are drunk, not to mention the people of Yuan Sangongzi, even if the other Wenchen generals have nothing to do with these two ***, but who is not happy when there is a banquet? For so many days, I was tense and fighting, and now I finally have such a time to relax.

There are only a few people who are still absolutely sober, including Xun Cen and Zhang He and others.

Xun Cen followed Yuan Shao out, and Yuan Shao did not treat Xun Cen badly, and Xun Cen gave Xun Cen an official position of overseer, so it can be said that Xun Cen has the right to inspect any place on behalf of Yuan Shao.

On this day of Yuan Shao's celebration, can't everyone celebrate, you must know that this is Guandu, and Cao Cao's camp is ahead, and it will be a big day if Cao Cao sneaks up on it.

"All the spirits, although the lord has rewarded you, but it is also for you to enjoy when you are resting, if someone is restless and guarding himself when he is on duty, then don't blame me Xun Cen for being unkind!" Xun Cen is a good subordinate, but after all, there are still people who will try the law, Xun Cen watched three or four thousand people in a row, which stopped those generals under his command from being scattered.

"Huh? General Zhang He? Xun Cen met an acquaintance when dealing with these scattered thousands of generals, it was none other than Zhang He, a military general who Xun Cen rarely looked at in the army. The word is good, and the people of the river are among them. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was recruited to participate in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising, and later belonged to Jizhou Mu Han Fu as the military commander. In 191, Yuan Shao took Jizhou, and Zhang He led his troops to surrender and served as a captain. Because of the meritorious service of Sun Zhan, he was moved to the general of Ningguo Zhonglang.

"General Zhang He, didn't you go to the dinner?" Xun Cen looked at Zhang He over there suspiciously, you must know that Zhang He is also one of the senior generals, and Yuan Shao will naturally invite him when he is happy.

"I went, but it was too noisy over there, so Zhang came out again!" Zhang He waved his hand and said, "What about Mr. Xun?" Why didn't you go? ”

"I'm just like you!" Xun Cen and Zhang He glanced at each other and laughed, I'm afraid this is what they are talking about.

The two of them used to be military generals and civil ministers, and basically rarely spoke, and the chats were also in the midst of military discussions.

Now I finally have a chance to talk a few points.

"Mr. Xun is really conscientious! The lord has the help of talents like Mr. Xun Cen, and if you can't do anything, you can't do anything! Zhang He praised Xun Cen.

"General Zhang He is also impatient, if the lord reuses the general, I'm afraid the general will already break this Yanzhou!" Xun Cen is not joking, Zhang He's ability is well known.

His martial arts are not as ugly and good-looking, and his background is not as strong as Gao Lanqiang, but he is such a person who can achieve the status of the four court pillars of Hebei, which is enough to see his ability. Zhang He is not suitable for being a general, he is suitable for being a handsome talent.

In fact, Xun Cen's vision is right. On top of the original trajectory, Zhang He is a handsome talent.

The two chatted, and Zhang He suddenly thought of something: "Isn't General Chun Yu guarding the black nest?" How could the lord call General Chun Yu to the dinner party? ”

"General Chunyu?" Xun Cen was puzzled for a moment, he thought for a while, Wuchao is a matter of great importance, even if Yuan Shang is happy, he will not call Chun Yuliang over to see the dinner, "General Chun Yu has not come. ”

"Huh? That's weird! Zhang He said something he felt strange: "If it weren't for General Chunyu, why did I see a cavalry team heading towards the black nest under the banner of the capital grain officer!" ”

"A cavalry? When? Subconsciously, Xun Cen had a bad premonition.

"It didn't take long to go!" Zhang He thought about the time for a while, and gave Xun Cen an approximate number: "Just half an hour ago!" He also came out to hang out by accident, and only then did he discover the cavalry unit hidden in the night.

"Grain officer?" Xun Cen frowned, "This grain and grass should belong to Mr. Xu Yu for customs clearance, if General Zhang He is fine, you can go on a trip with me, and we will go and inquire!" ”

Zhang He didn't shy away from it, and nodded: "Okay!" Mr. Xun Cen, I only have one war horse, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, let's go together, hurry up! “

"Yes!" Xun Cen nodded, there were some things he had to confirm.

The two of them walked towards Xu You's camp, and soon arrived at Xu You's camp, Xu You's camp was brightly lit, and Xun Cen stepped in, "Brother Ziyuan, can you be in the tent?" Xun has something important to disturb! ”

Xun Cen first greeted outside, but after shouting several times, he didn't see a single figure, and frowned.

Zhang He was still decisive and opened the camp tent, only to see that there were only candles that were about to burn out in the camp tent, and there was a figure of Xu Yu there.

"Where's your husband?" Xun Cen asked the soldiers guarding the camp on the side.

"Lord Xu You hasn't been out of the camp since he came back, and he also ordered his subordinates not to go in and disturb him!" The soldiers outside the camp replied to Xun Cen.

"Xu Yu is gone, and a Duliang cavalry heading towards the black nest has appeared! Not good! Xun Cen immediately reacted: "Someone is here, I will search for the whereabouts of Lord Xu Yu in various camps!" “

"General Zhang He, I want to trouble the general, you will go to the lord's camp with me!" Xun Cen shouted at Zhang He over there, he may not believe Yuan Shao alone, but it is different with Zhang He.

"Yes!" Zhang He didn't dislike the trouble, and the two of them hurried towards Yuan Shao's main account.

"Brother Ziyuan, don't be confused!" Xun Cen prayed for Xu Yu in his heart.

Yuan Shao had just finished the banquet, and he was already drunk with his arms around Mei Jiaoniang, and he got on the bed.

So it was obvious that our General Zhang He and Mr. Xun Cen were blocked out of the camp tent, and finally rushed in, but at this time Yuan Shao was already drunk and unconscious, and he didn't respond to anything you asked him, and the best way for a drunk person was to water it with cold water, but now under the eyes of Yuan Shao's personal guards on the side, it was obvious that Xun Cen did not have this opportunity.

"Hey!" Xun Cen sighed violently, "General Zhang He, you and I have known each other for the first time, Xun should not bother with you, but this time it is really a big matter, Xun has no choice but to do it, Xun begged the general, I hope that the general will immediately take his soldiers and horses to Wuchao to support!" Saying that, Xun Cen Putong suddenly knelt at Zhang He's feet.

"This, this, this!" Zhang He was also panicked, this Xun Cen is the overseer of the army, and he has a much bigger official position than him Zhang He, if it is known that Xun Cen knelt in front of him, Zhang He would not be able to explain clearly.

"Mr. Xun Cen, hurry up, even if there is no instruct from Mr., Zhang will take his soldiers and horses to Wuchao!" Zhang He is not a fool, Xun Cen can see that something is wrong, and he Zhang He can slowly see it.

"The general is really my Hebei general!" Xun Cen was very moved.

Xun Cen and Zhang Hebing were divided into two ways, Zhang He went back to transfer the soldiers and horses under his hands, Xun Cen sent people to the black nest to quickly whip the horse to the black nest in the hope of reminding the guards of the black nest earlier, and Xun Cen also had to stay to wake up Yuan Shao as soon as possible.
