Chapter 67: Heaven Will Not Die, I Cao Mengde

Chun Yuqiong is also a good general under Yuan Shao's account, but there is a lot of difference between a good general under Yuan Shao's account and a good general under Cao Cao's account.

If it is a Lejin, although Chun Yuqiong may not be able to beat, it is still very possible to run, but with one Yu Ban, he really has no ability to break through.

War kills people, and killing ordinary soldiers has little effect on improving morale, so the head of the general is quite valuable in this era.

The growth process of every general is actually accompanied by the heads of unknown enemy generals.

What's the easiest way to prove that you're strong? Isn't it just killing a strong enemy general on the battlefield?

Less than half an hour later, the battle, which had been going on since midnight, was coming to an end under the reflection of the fire that had ignited Yuan Shao's military grain and grass in the center of the barracks.

Cao Cao rode his horse and stood at the front of the battlefield, Xu Chu protecting him.

Under his horse's hooves, two human heads were thrown, and the expressions on the human heads were still frozen in the moment before they died, but at this time, no one would study their expressions before they died.

The owners of the two heads are Chun Yuqiong, and Jiang Qi, who came to support later.

Jiang Qi didn't even expect that Cao Jun would not have any intention of retreating after burning almost all of their grain, grass and baggage, but instead regarded himself as a prey.

By this time, it was clear that the battle was nearing its end.

"Sikong, except for those who were killed by our army, the enemy army has scattered and fled, and the enemy's grain, grass and baggage have also been burned out, will our army withdraw?"

"What about the losses of our army?"

"Sikong, in this battle, our army lost more than 2,000 cavalry, killed more than 10,000 enemy troops, and killed more than 10 enemy generals.

"Good! Clean up the battlefield, bury the soldiers killed in our army, and then wave the division back to Guandu, and the scouts sent back to investigate, it's time to come back......"

The five thousand cavalry lost a small half, and Cao Cao's heart also twitched, this is his trump card.

However, he also understood that his burning of Yuan Shao's grain and grass this time was enough to make Yuan Shao's army unsustainable.

As long as Cao Hong and Xun You of Guandu can resist the attack of Yuan Shao's main army, even if their own catastrophe is over, even if there is no Liu Xie, they can press step by step with their backs to Xuchang and finally defeat Yuan Shao.

Just as Cao Cao had just waved his army to rush back, the news of Guandu had already come.

"Sikong, as you expected, after Yuan Shao learned of our army's surprise attack on Wuchao, he sent generals Zhang He and Gao Ran, and led tens of thousands of troops straight to Guandu, but fortunately, General Cao Hong had already prepared, relying on the fortifications built by our army in the previous months, and firmly resisted these two people! The enemy army is tired and has no food and grass, so hold out for two days at most! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao finally slowly spit out the evil breath gathered in his chest, this plan was done!

At the same time that the news reached Cao Cao, it also reached Yuan Shao's ears, but the same thing was quite different from that in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"What? Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Qi all died in battle? Didn't Cao Cao bring 5,000 cavalry? Together, there were 20,000 of them? Why? How did it come to this? ”

Yuan Shao almost went crazy when he heard this, the grain and grass were gone, but as long as Jiang Qi could beat Cao Cao back, the morale would still be on their side, and now it was good, not only did he fail to beat people back, but he also directly put his life into it.

Guo Tu stood in front of Yuan Shao, and cold sweat slowly flowed down his face.

This plan was made by him, and when Yuan Shao came back to his senses, he would still have his own good fruit to eat?

You know, people haven't said even a few words to Yuan Shao in the past few days, who can he throw this pot to, Guo Tu's head is running rapidly.

"What now? Our army's food and grass are almost running out, is it all in vain these months of hard work? Now let me lead the army back to Yecheng? ”

In this sentence, Yuan Shao was Guo Tu who proposed this strategy in front of questioning himself.

Guo Tu slowly walked out a few steps with his small waist, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, it was not that he was showing off in front of Yuan Shao, but that he was really nervous.

"Lord, the current strategy can only be to hope that Zhang He and Gao Ran can break through Guandu, otherwise our army's military food will be burned by Cao Cao, and we can only return to the court, but the minister thinks that Zhang He and Gao Ran brought our elite in Hebei, far more than Cao Cao's men and horses, this plan can be regarded as grasping Cao Cao's weakness, we still have a chance!"

In the end, Guo Tu's eyes also lit up, as if he was quite excited that his on-the-spot performance ability had gone to a new level.

"Good! Just as you say, herald! Zhang He and Gao Ran will not return until they capture Guandu, and those who violate it will be engaged in military law! ”

As soon as this order was given, every one of the strategists below dared to squeak.

Fu Zhu was also in the ranks, but his lips moved as he watched the herald walk out with swift steps, but he didn't make any sound, and his eyes were already full of disappointment when he looked at Yuan Shao.

Today, Fu Zhu finally understood why Tian Feng didn't come to participate in this battle, because Tian Feng had been by Yuan Shao's side for a long time, and he had already foreseen the outcome of this battle.

He looked at Guo Tu, who was relieved after Yuan Shao turned to leave, with a smile on his face, and wanted to go up and slash him with a sword, but in the end, he didn't do that, in his heart, Guo Tu was no longer worthy of his sword.

Cao Cao slowly walked in the direction of Guandu with his soldiers and horses, listening to the news of Guandu and Yuan Shaojun as he went, and when they spent several times more time than usual, and finally arrived more than ten miles away from the battlefield, the scout rushed to him with a person.

Cao Cao recognized that the person was Cao Hong's lieutenant general.

"How's Guandu?" Cao Cao still didn't have any nonsense.

"Sikong, Zhang He and Gao Ran led the army to attack for several hours, and suffered heavy casualties, but our army relied on the fortifications built before to resist, and Guandu was impregnable! Today, Yuan Shao suddenly gave Zhang He and Gao Ran a death order, so that they could not return to the army, and the two attacked for two or three hours, still suffering heavy casualties, and then Zhang He asked to see Sikong in front of the battle, and wanted to betray Yuan Shao in the battle and surrender to Sikong! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

"Hahahaha, the sky will not die, I Cao Mengde!"
