Chapter 221: Losing both
Yuan Shao, who squinted and looked at the battlefield again, really found something strange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Zhang He's army arrived, the attacking Cao army rose up one after another to fight more and more bravely, and those Xiao Xiaofu who defected before the battle were also more active, as if they were not the enemy army behind them, but reinforcements!
Carefully observing Cao Jun's rear army and Zhang He's department, Yuan Shao found a lot of clues from it. The red-robed person under the black flag is undoubtedly Cao Mengde himself, which is the result of Yuan Shao's repeated confirmation of six or seven scouts sent before, but there are only a handful of guards around him at this time, and the rest of the people have all been sent to the front just now.
dared to open up the position under such circumstances, which can only show that Cao Thief has no fear, and the reason why he has no fear is Zhang He and his subordinates.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's face had changed, Guo Tu knew that the time had come, so he immediately added another fire and said: "The current situation is clear, Zhang He and Gao Lan were reprimanded by the lord for not being able to save the Wuchao fire on a regular basis, and they voted for Cao Thief's side. The lord is no longer suitable to fight at this moment, so it is better to stick to the camp and not come out. ”
On the other side of Yuan Shao, there was still Xu Yu standing on the other side, and as for Tian Feng and the others, they were still dispatching the military downstairs at the moment, and they were not by Yuan Shao's side. Xu You and Guo Tu have a mediocre relationship, they have no friendship or bad relationship, so they didn't affirm Zhang He's character at the first time, so Guo Tu said it, and combined with the situation he saw with his own eyes from the watchtower, he also felt that eight or nine were not far from ten.
Although his character is average, Xu You's head and resourcefulness still haven't said anything, and he still feels a little strange in his heart, so he tentatively said: "The minister thinks that the current situation is not bad to that extent, or ......."
"Lord!" Without waiting for Xu You to finish speaking, Guo Tu hurriedly interjected: "The lord looks at that Zhang He, if he is of the same heart as us, he should be attacking Cao thief from both sides at this moment, but this fang rushed to the battlefield but stopped far away, I am afraid that he was under the command of Cao Cao." At present, if the lord does not take the opportunity to decide whether to attack or defend, I am afraid that the efforts of more than half a year will be wasted! ”
was so attracted by Guo Tu, Xu You couldn't help but think about the consequences if Zhang He threw himself into Cao.
"Uh...... Truly...... What Guo Gong said is not unreasonable," Xu Yu pondered while groaning: "If the lord leads the army to fight at this moment, our army still has an advantage in numbers, but its combat strength is not as good as the elite of the Qingzhou soldiers and Zhang and Gao's departments, and the three generals of Han Meng, Jiang Qi, and Gu may not be able to stop Xu Huang, Cao Hong, and Zhang He...... It's better to stick to the camp first and quickly recall the two generals Wen Chouyan Liang and the main force of our army under his command as the best policy......"
"It's up to you!" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao, who seemed to be dispatching troops and horses in the distance, and Zhang Hejun, who was reorganizing the formation in the same place, but his old face was gloomy, as if it was about to rain. The hand that held the hilt of the sword for a long time never let go.
After only half a pillar of incense, Cao's offensive had already completed a qualitative change, because more Yuan troops had defected.
What Yuan Shao didn't know at the moment was that because of his decision, he lost the best opportunity to annex the Central Plains and dominate the Central Plains. The end of the decline of the Yuan family also began.
First, I saw that Zhang He's troops stopped moving, and then the main battalion withdrew the order to take the initiative to attack Cao Jun, and changed the order to stick to the camp and not come out, as long as they are not fools, the generals of each battalion and village of the Yuan army can think of something from this. So the army was disheartened, each only cared about self-preservation, and even directly defected.
Of course, the responsibility for the deterioration of the battle situation cannot be blamed on Zhang He's momentary hesitation, after all, as long as you are a person with brains, when you see the enemy's biggest leader suddenly disarm almost all the guards standing in front of you, and wave at you in a friendly manner, will you kill him as soon as possible without thinking? This situation is similar to if you are just a dick, but suddenly one night the goddess calls you and says that she is naked and waiting for you in bed, will you answer without thinking about it?
Seeing that the battle situation suddenly deteriorated for some reason, Zhang He didn't dare to hesitate to wait any longer, but careful testing was still necessary, so Zhang He was the deputy general next to the shilling, Murong Ping, led five hundred cavalry to attack Cao Cao himself, and he led a large number of horses to ride behind.
Murong Ping took the order and went straight to where Cao Cao was, Cao Cao here naturally saw Zhang He's dispatch clearly, turned his head to look at the direction of the chaotic Yuan army camp, and said with a smile: "Although it is not as lively as I want, it is enough for Yuan Benchu to drink a pot, let's go, it's time to withdraw!" ”
After saying this, Cao Cao didn't even care about Xu Huang and Cao Hong, who were still fighting in front, as well as the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers and the Wuwei battalion, and even slapped his horse directly and wanted to go south.
Over there, Murong Ping saw that Cao Cao wanted to leave, so he immediately drew a bow and arrows on his horse, and raised his hand to fire several arrows in a row.
Cao Cao, who was riding a yellow horse, didn't pay attention to the hidden arrow behind him, and there were few people in the tiger guard camp around him, and he didn't protect Cao Cao, so he was caught off guard and was shot by Murong Ping Cao Cao with an arrow in the back.
Cao Cao, who was hit by a solid arrow, laughed instead of being angry, spit out a mouthful of blood and said to the guards accompanying him: "Don't get in the way, I didn't expect that there would be such a young general in the Yuan army, it's really careless." Such a young general is not very famous in Yuan's camp, which shows Yuan's original skill in employing people! ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was shot and wanted to escape, Zhang He immediately waved his army and ordered to advance, and personally came to intercept Cao Cao.
Without Cao Cao's bother, the dozens of tiger guards behind Cao Cao resolutely turned their horses' heads when they saw this, and rushed up to Zhang He without hesitation, and those who fled with Cao Cao were only a few horses.
The death of these dozens of tiger guards made Zhang He instantly understand that the previous Cao Cao was just a suspicious tactic, and even if he no longer kept his hand, he chased with all his might.
Yuan Shao didn't see the fierce fight that happened here at this moment, or Yuan Shao had no time to look at the distance anymore. Because the degree of chaos in Yuan Jun is extremely serious at the moment. If you use numbers to show it, under the rough number, I am afraid that at least tens of thousands of Yuan troops have already rebelled, and this number is still rising and increasing in a straight line, and as for the two or three thousand Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao, they are extremely inconspicuous among them.
If you use one word to describe the situation in Yuan's army camp, it is chaos, chaos to the point of no return. The vast majority of the Yuan army that had been killed and wounded was not caused by the direct attack of the Cao army, but because of the Yuan army's own mutual attack and trampling on each other under unknown circumstances. Although Yuan Shao repeatedly issued a calm and firm restraint order to all battalions and villages in the main camp, he still couldn't stand the crowd in the crowd. The most important thing is that at this critical juncture of life and death, it is easier for people to believe the rumors than the army that was issued......
Although the harm of rumors is great, if there is no corresponding strength to cooperate, it will not cause fundamental harm after all. The so-called rumors stop at the wise and the foolish. Yuan Shao's side still discovered the bluff of the Cao army in time, and Tian Feng gave Xu You and others the best efforts to remedy it, and the generals who were loyal to the Yuan clan restrained and suppressed, and the shouts of the two or three thousand Cao troops instantly turned into false words under the command of Zhang He's army, followed by a killing and rebellion, and the blood in Yuan's camp flowed like a river, and the vast majority of them did not know why they died and who they died for.
Although Zhang He almost wiped out all the Cao troops including the Tiger Guard Battalion and the Wuwei Battalion in this battle, he failed to capture Cao Cao, who was only one or two hundred meters away at the nearest time, and failed to kill Xu Huang and Cao Hong, who slipped away quickly, but fortunately, Yuan Shao woke up at the last moment and was stunned by Cao Cao's attack, and although Guo Tu had power, he had no right to deal with Zhang He's fault.
When Yuan Shao was rescued by the military doctor, he was told that Yan Liang broke through the Cao officer's camp and killed more than 100,000 prisoners of Cao's army, and Zhang He's Gaolan defeated more than 10,000 elites of Cao's army and did his best to protect the food and grass of the unstoppable fire, but he was ashamed and angry and vomited blood and fainted again.
Waiting for Yuan Shao to wake up in the middle of the night, Chun Yuqiong, who had been beaten and run away at this time, had already returned to the Yuan army camp and asked Yuan Shao for his guilt. Guo Tu beside him was not good at pulling out Zhang He's high view and revealing the misleading crime of his several suggestions, so he told Chun Yuqiong the truth about his drunkenness and misdeeds, and slandered that Chun Yuqiong was the first to find Cao Cao who was advancing with light troops on the way back to Yuan's camp, but Chun Yuqiong chose to take a long detour back to the camp and did not take any corresponding countermeasures, so he put all the blame for causing the chaos in Yuan's camp on Chun Yuqiong.
Knowing that Wei Yuanjin, Zhao Rong, Lu Weihuang and other Wuchao guards all fought hard and died, and only Chun Yuqiong escaped alone, and remembered the chaotic state of his own camp today, Yuan Shao was naturally furious, but he drew his sword to chop Chun Yuqiong alive. In the end, it was Xu Youfu and others who stopped Yuan Shao, who had vomited several mouthfuls of blood today, and Guo Tushi ordered Chun Yuqiong to be directly executed, the body was fed to the dog, and the head was hung in the middle gate. Of course, these are naturally not enough to appease Yuan Shao's anger, and the three clans of the Chunyu clan are bound to be counted in this battle.
Although it is said that the Yuan army still has the grain hoards of the old city in addition to the black nest, the amount of grain and grass in the old city is too small compared to the black nest.
So a few days after the battle of Wuchao, although the Yuan army had basically defeated the combat strength of the Cao army, there were great differences within the Yuan army on the issue of whether to continue the southern expedition.
Until the fifth day, when Yuan Shao's health had just improved and he was about to make a decision on the issue of the southern expedition, Yuan Jun, who was on the south bank of the Yellow River, sent back a message.
After confirming the authenticity of this news, Yuan Jun finally agreed with the majority of the people, and decided to end the southern expedition and return to Hebei.
This news is nothing else, it is the news of Emperor Xian's departure from Xudu.
As a result, this battle of the focus of the world, the Battle of Guandu, finally ended with the defeat of Yuan and Cao!
