Chapter 467: First Victory

Cao Cao went back to Yanzhou like this, and he was ready to clean up the mess, but he was still slapped twice by reality.

Puyang fell, Baima fell, Pingqiu was also lost, and he vomited all the things that Cao Cao won from Yuan Shao in the last battle of Guandu.

This is not counting Cao Ren's 20,000 army, which was seized by Zhang He over there, and swallowed it directly.

Fortunately, the north is still in the cold, so Yuan Shao's 300,000 army has not been able to fully spread out, otherwise most of Lao Cao's Yanzhou will be gone.

Cao Cao adjusted his mood, and the food he got from Yuan Yao was also distributed, and even our Yuan Yao classmates also sent 10,000 stone of grain and grass in order to strengthen Lao Cao's confidence in resisting, and the soldiers and horses of Langya County over there were also withdrawn, and the food in it was left to Cao Cao's army except for the Modao camp on the road.

Cao Cao integrated his original army of 40,000, plus the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army to raise 60,000 soldiers and horses.

The tiger and leopard cavalry and the divine march also returned to their positions one by one.

Cao Cao came with anger, Cao's soldiers fought the Huainan army, it was an invasion, they were just fighting for merit, and now they are fighting Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses to guard their homeland.

Naturally, this is different.

Lao Cao didn't know why, he beat Yuan Yao very aggrieved, and when he beat Yuan Shao, he let go of himself as a different person.

Yuan Shao's cavalry was still looting the grain of Cao Cao's army everywhere, causing a shortage of food supply in the front, if it weren't for the batch brought by Cao Cao himself, I am afraid that Cao's army would have collapsed long ago.

Watching Yuan Shaojun fight this kind of sports war.

Cao Cao, who did not have more cavalry than Yuan Shao, simply calculated.

I put my own food and grass team out as bait.

"I'm afraid there is fraud ahead of the young general!" Zhang He dissuaded Yuan Shang, the third son of the Yuan family, on the side.

For Zhang He, he was 12% vigilant against Cao Cao over there, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would do something to come out.

So no matter what it was, he first wondered if Cao Cao had some tricks.

Because his two predecessors, Yan Liangwen was ugly, but he was chopped off by Cao Cao because of carelessness. Zhang He had to guard against it.

"Fraud?" Yuan Shang glanced at Zhang He.

If Zhang He dared to speak so much about Yuan Shang, he would have been thrown away by Yuan Shang a long time ago.

But now it is different, because the nominal commander of this soldier and horse is Yuan Shang, but in fact it is Zhang He.

Zhang He fully demonstrated the ability that a general should have.

Whether it is the deployment of troops and horses, or the grasp of the battle situation, it is first-class.

This is able to hang Cao Ren and flatten it painfully,

For the sake of Zhang He's ability, Yuan Shang had to give Zhang He face.

has already won a lot of Cao Cao's transportation team before, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and Yuan Shang has no need to take any more risks, plus now Zhang He's persuasion, so Yuan Shang is also thinking of returning.

"What can there be? Isn't General Zhang He afraid of Cao Cao because the main force of Cao Thief has returned to help? But at this moment, an incongruous voice sounded.

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, this person was called Lu Kuang. He is the general of the governor under Yuan Shang, and the chief general of the cavalry under Yuan Shang, and he is regarded as Yuan Shang's henchman.

The reason why Lu Kuang said this is because he was jealous, these battles were all Zhang He giving advice to Yuan Shang on the side, and Yuan Shang also listened to Zhang He most of them, which led to a situation that Zhang He's credit is getting bigger and bigger the older he gets, and even if they have merit, they are all small, they have the same official position as Zhang He but they have to be ordered by Zhang He, can this not be uncomfortable?

That's not all, the most important thing is that their major general Yuan Shang actually has the idea of recruiting Zhang He, which is the most important.

Now this Zhang He is pressing the two brothers, if it is in the future, it will be okay.

"General Lu Kuang is not a question of whether he is afraid or not, Cao Cao is a good fighter, he is an old soldier, if he is not careful, I am afraid that he will fall into his trap!" Zhang He said with a frown at Lu Kuang.

This Lu Kuang has the ability, and the force is even more outstanding, Zhang He himself is not necessarily Lu Kuang's opponent.

Lu Kuang is not famous in history, and the only thing that can be remembered is that he was shot to death by Zhao Yun.

However, this person's ability is indeed very strong, and he has killed Yuan Tan's general Cen Bi in several rounds.

There are not many people in the Three Kingdoms who can kill the generals within the number, Lu Kuang can kill the generals in front of the battle, and the real fierce generals are also, and there is the wind in front of the Huaxiong Bishui Pass. ”

Later, Lu Kuang was beheaded by Zhao Yun, not because he was not fierce, but because it was similar to Guan Yu's beheading of Huaxiong. Guan Yu slashed Huaxiong in a few ways, and no one said that Huaxiong was not fierce. However, Lu Kuang was beheaded by Zhao Yun, and he was also brave and comparable to Hua Xiong.

"Isn't General Zhang He just worried that this Cao Cao is cheating? This is as simple as sending a few more scouts to spy on it, if there is a deception in this, you should go, if there is nothing in it, isn't this a waste of fighters? Lu Kuang retorted to Zhang He.

Zhang He was still going to say something, but Yuan Shang over there had an idea: "This is a good idea!" ”

Yuan Shang didn't want to give up and go home empty-handed in vain.

"Pass my military order, and all the scouts and horses will be out!" Yuan Shang released all his scouts and horses, and soon all of Yuan Shang's scouts came back to explore the treasure, and there was no trace of the enemy within a radius of thirty miles, only one grain transportation team.

got such a news, Yuan Shang couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is his Cao Mengde to give him credit,

Lu Kuang also looked at Zhang He over there proudly, if it weren't for him, Lu Kuang was afraid that the credit he got this time would have flown off.

Yuan Shang immediately sent soldiers and horses to chase and kill.

A grain transport team was not the opponent of these three cavalry in the first place, let alone a grain transport team without escort troops, which was completely here to deliver food.

Yuan Shang smiled very unceremoniously at this batch of grain and grass.

Originally, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were still cautious, but they couldn't withstand Lao Cao's temptation again and again.

First a team, then a team, Lao Cao was really willing, and even sent three grain transportation teams, and tens of thousands of grain and grass were wasted in vain.

Even Cao Cao is very distressed, but he can't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

Cao Cao even put a big gift behind him, that is, nearly half of his old Cao's grain and grass were taken out.

The profits again and again made Zhang He's words more and more inaudible in Yuan Shang's ears.

Last time, Yuan Shang simply didn't even send out scouts, and killed them directly.

"The young general is careful of deception?" Zhang He still reminded him kindly.

"General Zhang He's fraud is also due to my Yuan Shang's improper command, there is no need for the general to worry about it, but the general can rest assured that if it is successful, there will be a credit to the general!" Saying that, Yuan Shang led his soldiers and horses to fight again.

was squeezed by Yuan Shang like this, Zhang He could only endure what he wanted to say, after all, his official position was not as good as Yuan Shang's third son.

Coupled with the previous few times, he Zhang He slowly gave up his vigilance.

That's a great gift.

The continuous grain transportation team for miles is tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass.

Yuan Shang saw such a piece of fat meat that reached his mouth, how could he not eat it.

Yuan Shang's first reaction was that he was going to swallow the whole grain transportation team.

"Major General, the food here should be enough for tens of thousands of troops for half a year!" Even Lu Kuang didn't expect that there would be so much grain and grass.

"As long as the major general takes this batch of grain and grass, I'm afraid that the Cao thief will really be powerless to resist my Hebei Wang Division, and then the major general will be the biggest hero in this war!" Lu Kuang on the side patted Yuan Shang on the back.

"Haha, haha!" Yuan Shang laughed when he heard Lu Kuang's sycophancy: "Everyone, but please rest assured, as long as there is a bite of my Yuan Shang, you will definitely be indispensable." ”

"Everything is under the command of the major general!" Yuan Shang made a stupid move at the beginning, that is, he did not send scouts to spy on him.

That's not all, then he made another stupid move, that is, he, Yuan Shang, actually wanted to swallow these grain transport teams whole.

You must know that the soldiers and horses carrying food are different from ordinary military formations, the military formations are boxy, and his cavalry troops can tear this infantry phalanx open to him like a cake, and swallow it little by little.

But this grain transport unit is like a long dragon.

And Yuan Shang wanted to swallow it whole, so he naturally wanted to disperse the cavalry under his hand for him.

The cavalry was originally a heavy mobile soldier and horse on the battlefield, relying on a group to tear apart the enemy's defense line, so as to inflict shocking casualties on the enemy, and finally the enemy was defeated and died.

In ancient warfare, except for siege warfare, it was difficult for cavalry to annihilate the enemy only by defeating them, and this was not the function of cavalry.

As soon as Yuan Shang separated the soldiers and horses under his hands, he was doomed to be unlucky.

The cavalry of Hebei scattered in all directions, sneering at the Cao army grain transport team that fled in a panic. But they didn't know that there were traces of the enemy hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the grain caravan.

"It's time, do it!" A large number of people and horses suddenly came out of the woods that were originally as silent as empty, and Yuan Shang was caught off guard in the four directions of front and back, left and right, plus Yuan Shang dispersed the cavalry under his hands, and the cavalry fought separately, and they could not find soldiers, and soldiers could not find generals.

Yuan Shang's cavalry met the battle in a panic, fighting separately, and the dragons were leaderless! It is difficult to form combat effectiveness.

A galloping war horse may be a killing machine, but the war horse you stop is not as agile as the forehead foot soldiers below.

Soon, Yuan Shang's main cavalry was shattered.

The most unlucky thing is Lu Kuang's soldiers and horses, that is, Jizhou Iron Cavalry.

Yuan Shang originally planned to give this main credit to his subordinates, so he let Lu Kuang take his men and horses to move first, who knew that this move would also move the enemy's ambush.

The Jizhou Iron Cavalry first panicked and didn't look at it, and then they were isolated, and one by one the cavalry was dragged down and hacked to death.

Lao Cao really just had such a bad breath, and suddenly his head didn't hurt, his head didn't mix, and the whole person was in good spirits.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Fortunately, Yuan Shang was still in the Chinese army, and he was not besieged by Lao Cao's soldiers and horses all at once.

Yuan Shang immediately wanted to break through and leave.

"Third son, you go first, I'll cover you!" Zhang He immediately showed his loyalty. Even at this time, it was the first time to go to cover for Yuan Shang's palace.

Yuan Shang couldn't thank him, and immediately fled in the direction of Hebei with dozens of horses.

"Where will the thief go!" It was also Yuan Shang's bad luck, under his move, he ran into Lao Cao's first fierce general, Ge Dianwei, plus a Xu Chu.

These two brothers are evil and the other is a tiger idiot, even if Lu Bu is at his peak in the hands of these two goods, he has to hate it.

So Yuan Shang was miserable, and the guards around him were like cutting watermelons, and they were chopped up by Xu Chudianwei. However, Zhang He, who was behind Yuan Shang's Palace, avoided the siege of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and Zhang He also broke through by his own force.

Yuan Shang is not the worst, the worst is our classmate Lu Kuang.

He was the vanguard and the first to be besieged, but he directly gave up his men and fled back, seeing that he was about to find Yuan Shang, as long as he found Yuan Shang to cover Yuan Shao's escape, then it would be a great achievement, even if he Lu Kuang lost his troops, Yuan Shang would not punish him, and even reward him.

But today is not Lu Kuang's lucky day.

Because when he found Yuan Shang, it was when Xu Chu and Dian Weiche watermelons killed the miscellaneous fish around Yuan Shang.

These miscellaneous fish are solved, and then Lu Kuang is left.

Yuan Shang abandoned Lu Kuang and ran away without saying a word, he Lu Kuang didn't dare to run even if he wanted to.

If he left Yuan Shang in front of Yuan Shang and ran away, it would be a dead end for him to go back to Hebei.

This is also death before, and death after it, it is better to fight, although Lu Kuang's martial arts are not as good as Lu Bu, the number one god of war in the world, but it is also a figure who is about to reach ninety when he looks at eighty.

Even if Zhang He doesn't play with his life, he is not Lu Kuang's opponent.

But you Lu Kuang also depends on who the opponent is.

One Dian Wei is enough to choke, and this adds a Xu Chu.

"This one is mine!" Xu Chu and Dian Wei argued with each other.

"How is this yours, the one just now is yours!"

"That's yours! This is mine! ”

"You go after you, don't rob me!"

"Why don't you chase it?" The reason why the two of them gave up Yuan Shang to find Lu Kuang was because these two fools were good at foot combat and not good at horse fighting, so they didn't have the skills to keep people at all.

Now I can only clean up Lu Kuang.

But neither of them will let one of them.

Dian Wei, Lu Kuang knows him, after all, it is really rare in the world to look so ugly.

Dian Wei's martial arts Lu Kuang also knew that he Lu Kuang was not an opponent now, but he Lu Kuang didn't know the white fat man over there.

Of course, the persimmon has to pick a soft pinch, and immediately Lu Kuang has a plan, that is, to kill Xu Chu first, and then forcibly break through.

"Kill!" Lu Kuang hit the war horse and rushed towards the Exu Chu on which side to kill.

Xu Chu grinned, and nodded proudly at Dian Wei, meaning that the opponent chosen by this kid is me, and you can't help it. was so angry that Dian Wei was about to scold his mother.

As soon as Lu Kuang came into contact with Xu Chu, he knew that he had guessed wrong, where was this a soft persimmon, it was a discus at all.

But this Xu Chu was made by himself, even if he had tears in his eyes, he had to carry it.

After a few rounds of fighting with Xu Chu, Lu Kuang's hands were already trembling.

He knew that he couldn't be Xu Chu's opponent, and if he continued to fight, it would only be a hundred rounds.

Immediately, Lu Kuang was going to surrender, and if he surrendered for the sake of his small life, he might be able to save a small life.

It's a pity that today is destined to be Lu Kuang's unlucky day, because Dian Wei over there didn't give him a chance for Lu Kuang to surrender at all.

Dian Wei was angry because Lu Kuang chose Xu Chu instead of him, how could he be happy when he saw that Xu Chu might have robbed his own meat, and he was immediately ready to rob someone's head.

"I vote" Before Lu Kuang could say a descending word, he was covered by Dian Wei's loud voice.

With a loud roar, Dian Wei directly took out two small halberds from his broken leather bag and threw them directly towards Lu Kuang over there.

One was knocked away by Lu Kuang with the spear in his hand, and the other one, Dian Wei was really possessed by Xiao Li's flying knife today, and this short halberd shot directly through the war horse under Lu Kuang's crotch and actually penetrated through the horse.

"I, I, I!" Lu Kuang was almost speechless, because he had become the first military general in history to die because he was beaten up.

Poor Lu Kuang's entire underneath was smashed by the impact of the halberd, and the head of the halberd pierced into Lu Kuang's body.

Before he could even scream, he fell to the ground with his horse to see his ancestors.

As soon as Lu Kuang died, that side fell into chaos from the beginning, and Yuan Shao's army was defeated faster.

The three battalions of soldiers and horses totaled 15,000 elite cavalry, and they were just like that by Lao Cao.

The worst is the Jizhou Iron Cavalry, 5,000 soldiers and horses were hacked to death, more than 2,000 died, more than 1,000 died in the trampling of their own people, and the rest surrendered, which can be regarded as the absence of the system.

In addition, the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry died, more than 1,000 people died and surrendered, and the others who wanted to escape were blocked by the tiger and leopard riders and lost thousands of corpses.

The only one with the smallest loss was the first camp, the first camp was worthy of being the most elite soldiers and horses in Hebei, even if there was no commander, they were able to break through each other, plus they later found Zhang He, and even rescued Zhang He.

Under the leadership of Zhang He, he broke out of the encirclement.

The tiger and leopard cavalry went to chase the Qingzhou iron cavalry again, and the loss of the first battalion was the smallest, and it also lost thousands of combat effectiveness.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Yuan Shang and Yuan Sangongzi's lives were not lost in the chaos.

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue, falling into the well, and beating the water dog, this is Cao Cao's style.

The entire front counterattacked in an all-out way, but Cao Cao took back the white horse for him, and once drove Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses to the other side of the Yellow River.

Yuan Shao's vanguard army of 20,000 troops did not survive in the end, plus the losses of the previous cavalry, Yuan Shao's first battle was a draw with Cao Cao.
