Wuchao is named because it is adjacent to Wuchaoze, and in the morning light, Wuchaoze microwave Ayaya is like a broken mirror reflecting dazzling light. Chun Yuqiong led a team of baggage to march between such lakes and mountains. Since this place is still forty miles away from Guandu, and there are checkpoints along the way, this makes the soldiers of Yuan's army who are more or less relaxed. As for the team leader, Chun Yuqiong was even more comfortable, and she almost didn't hum a little song.

As an old man beside Yuan Shao, and with the merits of the dragon, Chun Yuqiong's status in Yuan Shao's camp is quite high. It's a pity that he himself lacks military talent, and he refuses to stay honestly in the rear as a civil servant. As a result, he repeatedly asked Yuan Shao for battle, but he was repeatedly repaired by Cao's army, and finally annoyed Yuan Shao, and was sent to the rear to transport grain.

In fact, transporting grain is not necessarily an easy task. Jizhou and Guandu are separated by a Yellow River, and no matter how difficult the road is, just the rogues who tried to rob grain along the way were enough for Yuan Shao's baggage men and horses to drink a pot. These rogues consisted mainly of deserters and Yellow Turban remnants. Since there is no land and no food, in order to survive, they often take risks to attack the baggage of the government, and in the process of fighting, there is also a posture of one life for another. Among them, the Black Mountain thieves are the most ferocious. Originally, Zhang Yan had surrendered to Yuan's general Tao Sheng in Youzhou and was named the general of Pingbei. But I don't know when Jizhou also came out with a vote claiming to be a black mountain thief under Zhang Yan. This group of men and horses not only acted out of nowhere, but also successfully robbed Yuan Shaojun's baggage many times. It gave Yuan Jun a headache. Although Yuan Shao questioned Zhang Yan many times, Zhang Yan didn't know anything about it. Over time, the two sides inevitably suspected each other, but because Cao Cao, the great enemy, had not been destroyed, Yuan Shao temporarily held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and did not send troops to recruit Zhang Yan.

In contrast, Chun Yuqiong only transported the baggage from Baima Port to Wuchao Granary this time. It's a rare errand. As for why His Majesty had to carry the baggage back and forth boringly, it was not something that Chun Yuqiong's IQ could understand.

As the sun gradually rises in the east, the rammed earth wall of Wuchao Village is finally displayed in front of everyone. This is a small stockade, only because Yuan Jun has a granary here to gather the people to build a circle of rammed earth walls, and build two lookouts that can be built as arrow towers.

However, just when Chun Yuqiong thought he was about to reach his destination. The air in his ears was suddenly pierced by a cluster of black lightning. It was a pitch-black arrow with gray feathers, and it was stunned and stuck headlong on the carriage beside Chun Yuqiong. The tail of the arrow trembled twice, as if to show Chun Yuqiong that death had just passed by him.

Compared with. Chun Yuqiong's subordinates were not so lucky. The soldier with an arrow in the throat fell to the ground before he could scream. The bloodied plough horse screamed and crushed the owner beside him to the ground. In just a moment, the baggage team that had been leisurely just now was wrapped in blood and cries. And the initiator of this qiē has just whistled down from the hillside not far away.

"Leave no one to chance!" Xiahou Yuan took the lead with a longbow in his hand and rushed down towards Chun Yu Qiong. The armor on his body was still stained with a little morning dew at this time.

It turned out that Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Cao's instructions and led a team of elite cavalry, carrying firewood and grass. The human rank is tied to the horse. Under the banner of Yuan Shaojun, he galloped from the trail at night, falsely claiming to be rushing to Wuchao to strengthen the garrison along the way. In this way, he deceived Yuan Jun all the way and checked layer by layer, and finally arrived at Wuchao in the early morning.

Facing Cao Jun, who was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, Chun Yuqiong was really shocked and afraid. But seeing that he couldn't care about the ghost crying wolf beside him, he rushed towards Wuchao Village with a horse's belly, and shouted at the village while running, "I am the general of the chariot and cavalry, Chun Yuqiong!" Open the door quickly! ”

The defenders of the village saw the tragic situation of Chun Yuqiong's attack from a distance. At this time, when he heard Chun Yuqiong's call for help, he immediately opened the gate of the village and wanted to accept him into the village. But who knew that Xiahou Yuan's speed was faster. I saw a cold light flash. Chun Yuqiong's head dragged a crimson tail and flew past his mount into the gate.

"Set fire!"

Xiahou Yuan, who rushed into the stockade, slashed over the two pawns who tried to close the door in vain. Behind him, Cao Bing rushed in, holding lit firewood and grass and setting fire around. The entire Wuchao Village suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

Xiahou Yuan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. I don't think this mission is more than that. It was Xu Huang, who was on the periphery, that it was a pity to miss such a great achievement. If you knew this, it would be better to rush in directly.

And just when Xiahou Yuan was thinking about how to invite merit when he went back. Suddenly there was a fierce shouting outside the village. After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan immediately turned around and shouted with a dumb smile and shouted outside the village: "Just kill a few minions." Why? ”

As soon as Xiahou Yuan's words fell, a cavalry rushed in from outside the village. saw that Qi Yuan had his eyes open and his mouth full of blood, as if he wanted to say something to Xiahou Yuan, but in the end he stumbled and dismounted. And he had a white feathered arrow stuck in his back.

The different-colored feather arrow made Xiahou Yuan's pupils shrink. Immediately after that, the frightened shouts of his subordinates came from the walled city, "General! Not good either! Yuan Jun is coming! ”

"The whole army is in the village! Close the door! Xiahou Yuan yelled outside the door without thinking. Hearing the news, Cao Jun immediately fled into Wuchao Village and closed the gate. But around the case, there were still three or four Cao soldiers who fell under the arrows.

Xiahou Yuan walked up to the arrow tower with a blue face, and at a glance saw the dense army outside the village, as well as the banner of the word "high" to win the wind. Not long after, a black-armored general jumped out of his horse and shouted at Xiahou Yuan, "Jizhou Gaolan is here!" Thief of the Woods! Hurry down to the city and surrender! ”

Yuan Jun, who suddenly appeared, Gao Lan, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, was an unusually easy to break black nest. Together, even if Xiahou Yuan was a fool, he understood that he had fallen into the trap set by Yuan Shao. Forty miles behind enemy lines, they were surrounded by enemy legions who were waiting for work, and all they had around them was the baggage that had just been burned by themselves. At this moment, the only thing that Xiahou Yuan felt fortunate about was that he came to the black nest for the lord, and the only hope was Xu Huang who stayed on the periphery.

Cao Cao stood in front of the big tent of the Chinese army in Guandu, and looked into the direction of Wuchao. If there is no accident in the calculation of pinching his fingers, Xiahou Yuan should have arrived at the black nest at this moment. But I don't know how the war is going?

Cao Cao was concerned about the victory or defeat of the black nest in his heart, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a crisp sound blew a flag in front of him into two pieces. Faced with such a strange scene, someone on the spot couldn't help but mutter. "This is a bad omen."

Cao Cao turned his head and glared at the civil and military forces behind him, so frightened that the person who made the strange voice immediately closed his mouth. But before Cao Cao could find out who disturbed the morale of the army, he was facing the direction of Yuan Shao's camp and suddenly beat drums. Everyone looked for prestige, only to see a small colonel rushing to report: "Yu Sikong, Yuan thief is calling for war outside the gate!" ”

Yuan Shao, who had not taken the initiative to attack for a long time, was shouting outside. Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep to the "Cao" flag at his feet. Cao Ying's people were already inferior to Yuan Shao, and this time they took away a group of elites for the sneak attack on Wuchao Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang. Yuan Shao took the initiative to call the battle at this time, which had to make people suspect that the black nest might be a trap. Although a sense of foreboding has come over me. But Cao Cao still had a calm face on the surface, and even smiled with the subordinates next to him: "Let's go, let's see what tricks I played at the beginning." ”

But when Cao Cao came to the front. The forced smile on his face finally turned into a blue face. However, Yuan Shaojun, who was holding the banner of the word "Chen" in front of the Guandu formation, was listed as the left, center, and right formations in turn. The guns and halberds glowed coldly in the bright sun. Thousands of combat vehicles lined up in front of the Chinese army. Although Cao Cao didn't look down on such flashy things as chariots, he had to admit that chariots looked very imposing in the battle array. Of course, it was impossible for Cao Cao not to notice the extremely dazzling four sets of carriages in Yuan Shaojun's array.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was standing on the four sets of carriages, wearing the eye-catching gilded armor as usual. Beside him stood a man in a green robe and holding a wooden staff. Although he still looked a little dry, his back was straighter than ever, his eyes were more focused than ever, and his hands were steadier than ever.

"Your Majesty, Wuchao has come to report that General Gao has trapped Cao's army in Wuchao. But General Chun Yu was unfortunately killed in battle. ”

Regarding Chun Yuqiong's death, Yuan Shao did not say anything. His ears only seemed to hear the words "Cao Jun is trapped in the black nest". saw Yuan Shao slap his thigh. Turning his head to Xiang Fuzhu, he laughed excitedly, "If Guangping calculates, Cao Cao will also enter the game!" ”

"The frustrated military master is clever!"

"Cao Cao is trapped in the black nest, even if he has wings, it will be difficult to fly!"

"Da Chen will win! Majesty's unification is just around the corner! ”

Seeing that the plan of the frustrated professor succeeded. Yuan Shaolong's face was happy, and a cadre of civil and military officers under the chariot also sang praises of virtue. However, he himself seemed quite calm. In his opinion, the real war has only just begun.

Fu Zhu's plan was actually not complicated, he first ordered Yin Kui to flee to Cao Ying to join Xu You in order to bring the false news to Cao Cao. Then let Chun Yuqiong transport a batch of grain and grass from Baima to Wuchao, creating the illusion that Wuchao was the granary of Yuan's army. Then he ordered Gao Ran to lead the troops to guard near the black nest and wait for Cao Cao to enter the set.

The reason why Xu You was chosen to start this plan is because Xu You is greedy for money and easy to take the bait. Second, he also hated Xu Yu for taking refuge in Cao Cao after using Tian Feng to find the weakness of the Heaven and Earth Splitting Technique, and finally caused Tian Feng to die in vain. Regardless of the success of this plan, as long as Xu You brought false news to Cao Cao, he would be dead. And with Xu You's relationship with Cao Cao, and the credit of cracking the art of cracking the sky and the earth before, as long as he is in the set, he is fifty percent sure that he can persuade Cao Cao to sneak attack the black nest. In addition, according to Fu Zhu's analysis of Cao's army's supplies, Cao Cao's chance of finally taking the bait is as high as eighty percent. In a stalemate between the two armies, a 50% chance of victory is often enough to make one side move forward. Rao is Yuan Shao didn't care much about frustration before, but after listening to Frustration's plan, he still accepted it all without hesitation.

Now that Cao Cao has fallen into the trap, he is frustrated and unceremoniously tells him that his next plan is to attack Guandu Cao's camp. is different from Yuan Shao, who has always regarded Cao Cao as his lifelong enemy. In the eyes of Fu Zhi, the number one enemy of the Yuan clan who had established a country was the emperor of the Han Dynasty in Xudu. Only by destroying the Han Dynasty Yuan can he appear in front of the world as Zhengshuo. Once the Yuan clan obtains orthodoxy, the people of the world will belong to the Yuan family, and no matter how talented Cao Cao is, he will not be able to stop the people's hearts. But the failure of the previous advances again and again also made Yuan Shao clearly realize that the current Yuan Shao was only thinking about how to defeat Cao Cao to prove himself, and he couldn't listen to other plans at all. For this reason, he carefully arranged the battle of the Black Nest. Although in the process of execution, a general, several soldiers, and a village of grain and grass were lost. can see Yuan Shao's elated appearance, as well as the Cao army camp close at hand. Frustrated with himself, he felt that he had finally succeeded this time.

Not long after, the Cao army camp opposite also sounded a high drum beat. From the gate of the Cao army, a group of Cao soldiers with full morale came out, and in just a while, they formed a neat and uniform phalanx in front of the battalion. After the drums stopped, there was another melodious horn sound, but I saw a group of cavalry holding high the banner of "Cao" and jumping out of the middle battle, and the person at the head was Han Sikong Cao Cao.

Cao Cao!? Fu Zhu looked at Cao Cao who was fighting on the other side with a little surprise. According to his understanding of Cao Cao's temperament and calculations, Cao Cao should personally lead his troops to attack Wuchao this time. Cao Ying, who lost Cao Cao, was leaderless, and under the onslaught of his own side, he would inevitably lose his armor. Even the false news that Cao Cao was dead was enough to break Cao's army. Once Cao's army was defeated and Guandu fell, Yuan's army could drive straight into the hinterland of Yuzhou and march under the capital of Xu. With Cao Cao's troops, there will not be many defenders in Xudu. At that time, the fate of Hanting can be imagined. But now Cao Cao appeared in the Guandu camp safe and sound. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of conquering Cao's camp.

Compared with the frustration that was shocked by Cao Cao's appearance, Yuan Shao, as the commander-in-chief, did not realize the difference between Cao Cao's presence and absence. On the contrary, Yuan Shao excitedly instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to the front of the battle, and shouted at Cao Cao triumphantly, "Meng De is still in the camp? I thought you were going to set fire to the black nest. ”

Cao Cao listened to Yuan Shao's shouting, knowing that Xiahou Yuan and others had fallen into a trap. In a hurry, he couldn't help but pretend to be stupid and said to Yuan Shao, "What did you mean by this?" When is Lone going to the Black Nest? ”

"Hmph, Ah Gui Mo wants to deceive people again. Wait for me to present the head of Cao Jiang, and see if you will be stubborn? After saying that, Yuan Shao waved his hand and motioned to the coachman to drive the car back to its original position, and then pointed back to Cao Cao on the opposite side and said, "Cao Cao stayed in the camp because of Heaven's will to let me kill him with my own hands." ”

Yuan Shao's high-profile declaration once again attracted the flattery of the civil and military. Only Guo Tu stood aside without saying a word and stared at Fu Zhi, as if waiting for his reaction. He looked at Yuan Shao, who was eager to try, and glanced at the soldiers around him who were ready to go, knowing that the current situation was ready to be launched. Although Cao Cao's stay in the camp has detracted from the effect of the black nest plan. But presumably Cao Jun at this time has also realized that he has been fooled. In the case of exhausting the elite, even Cao Cao's mood will be somewhat confused. In contrast, their own plans succeeded, their morale was high, and their troops were above Cao's army. The odds are still in your own hands.

Let's wait for you to see the tactics of Guangping!

Frustrated Zhu put away the gains and losses in his heart, raised the wooden staff in his hand and pointed at Cao Jun, "Throw!" ”

In an instant, the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded through Guandu, and several huge stones crossed the Yuan Shao army formation and crossed a clear arc in the air, smashing towards the arrow tower, thunderbolt car and military formation of the Cao army camp. The five-year battle of Guandu in Jian'an began. (To be continued)
