I used to think that Wuchao was Yuan Shaojun's military food storage place, but in fact it was not.

Wuchao is actually an ordinary place located in the southeast of Yanjin Ferry, and further south forty miles is Yuan Shao's camp.

When fighting in the army, of course, military rations must accompany the army. No one would do such a thing if they set up a grain camp far away from the big camp.

Yuan Shao has a large number of people, and in addition to soldiers and horses, there are also a large number of soldiers and civilians.

With so many people and horses, it is a huge consumption for people to eat and chew horses every day.

In addition, it rained a few days ago, and the water in the big river soared, delaying the transportation of grain. Now there is only enough food and grass left in the camp to feed for three days.

If something goes wrong with the grain and grass escorted by Chun Yuqiong, Yuan Jun is afraid that it will collapse immediately.

It's also magical, during the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was like being lowered by someone, revealing mediocrity everywhere.

Sensing the danger, Fu Zhu suggested that Chun Yuqiong be sent for reinforcements, but Yuan Shao refused.

Xu You suggested that Cao Cao had few soldiers, and Xu was very empty in the rear. You can send elite cavalry troops to attack Xudu and copy Cao Cao's back road. But he was still rejected by Yuan Shao.

He even went directly to prison because Xu You's family made a mistake, without saving face for his advisers.

Even later, when the news of Cao Cao's attack on the Black Nest came. Yuan Shao's thought was not to save the military rations, but to send the main force to try to take the opportunity to break Cao Cao's military camp.

The two sides faced off for several months, attacking Cao Cao's military camp countless times without being able to break through. I don't know where he got the confidence to win it overnight.

When taking Jizhou and destroying Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao was not like this.

I don't know if it was when I was here in Guandu, I drank inferior wine and burned my brain.

It can be said that the defeat in Guandu was actually Yuan Shao's own step by step.

Cao Cao, on his part, just hit the right target at the right time according to his trajectory.

Leaving Cao Hong to guard the camp, Cao Cao, who made up his mind, personally led 5,000 elites to run dozens of miles at night to attack Chun Yuqiong's department in Wuchao.

Wang Xiao also participated in this night raid, which is a classic battle that has been famous in history books for thousands of years.

There are a lot of Yuan troops here in Wuchao, even if you don't count the people who transport grain and grass, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarded by Chun Yuqiong alone.

Although Cao Cao only had 5,000 people here, he chose to attack directly.

After a long confrontation, in the end, it could only be Cao Cao who could not bear it.

Fires broke out everywhere in his rear, and supplies and soldiers were drying up. So now he seized the opportunity, and he was determined to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed.

Even if it was just to stay here for one night, Chun Yuqiong's side built a military camp in strict accordance with the requirements.

Cao's army attacked desperately, but he was never able to break the camp.

I don't know when Yuan Shao's reinforcements will arrive, Cao Cao's heart is very impatient.

"Sikong." Wang Xiaoce immediately stepped forward to ask for battle: "The last general is willing to break through the enemy's camp gate." ”

Cao Cao didn't care about the danger in the slightest, and immediately nodded and agreed, "You go." ”

Perhaps in Cao Cao's opinion, once defeated, everyone in the Cao family would have to die, and there was nothing to be sorry for dying on the battlefield.

Wang Xiao had been observing for a while before. He knew that Cao Jun came with the intention of dying, and although the Yuan army on Chun Yuqiong's side was numerous, his will to fight was not high.

The only thing they relied on was a thin layer of fortifications, and if they could break through, the balance of victory would tip in this direction.

There was a trench outside the camp, and it couldn't be filled in a short time, so Wang Xiao's eyes fell on the only gate that had not been dug up.

Cao Jun beside him held a shield to form a shield wall, guarding Wang Xiao as he gradually approached the camp gate.

After getting close enough, Wang Xiao paused. With a wave of his hand back, a large group of crossbowmen stepped forward, shooting desperately at the opposite side regardless of casualties and losses.

Wang Xiao silently observed through the gap in the shield array, and waited until the opposite side fell into chaos and the rain of arrows in the counterattack thinned out. He raised his hand to stop the crossbowmen behind him, and took a deep breath and dropped his armor.

Holding the horse lance in both hands, he pushed away the shield wall, flew up, raised his legs and stepped on the shoulders of a Cao Jun, and jumped over the fence and landed behind the wooden gate.

Looking at Yuan Jun's frightened faces in front of him, Wang Xiao waved his horse lance and smashed them all out.

After a short period of leisure, Wang Xiao turned to face the door.

The horse lance in his hand first picked off the rejection of the horse, and then pinned into the gap between the wooden sticks of the gate, and shouted angrily with both arms.

One of the wooden doors was broken, and Wang Xiao's horse lance was also broken.

"Childe continues!"

Xu Chu outside the door shouted loudly and threw his long soldiers over.

The Yuan Jun around came back to their senses and pounced on them with a shout. was beaten around by Wang Xiao again.

The long soldier in his hand slashed at the wooden door as quickly as a knife, struggling to cut off the thick logs one by one.

Yuan Jun pounced again, and the nearest one had already come behind Wang Xiao, raising his weapon and preparing to cut it down.

Wang Xiao finally stared, and the muscles on his arms swelled. Under the full burst of astonishing power, he swung his long soldiers and smashed the gate heavily.

A Han army-style ring-headed knife fell on Wang Xiao's shoulder.

Although he avoided his head and neck, he also used the technique of unloading. Even the armor on his body was excellent and strong. But he was still cut through his armor and fell directly on his shoulder.

Without waiting for the ecstatic Yuan Jun to cut the knife again, Wang Xiao had already half-turned around and raised his fist and smashed it his face.

Yuan Jun was directly smashed by Wang Xiao and flew out.

The facial features are deformed, and the bridge of the nose is sunken into a hole. I can't live anymore.

Raising his hand to fly out the ring knife stuck in his shoulder and armor, looking at the blood that shot out, Wang Xiao laughed at himself.

"How long has it been since I was hurt?"

His internal strength is strong, but he can't do it to the extent that his internal strength is released to form a wall of protective qi.

It's always been smooth sailing, but I didn't expect it to be a lottery this time. This made Wang Xiao a little dazed for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, the Cao army outside the camp gate had already poured in like a tide.

Xu Chu, who was holding a shield in one hand, knocked away a few Yuan Jun who pounced on Wang Xiao, and turned around to protect him firmly.

"I'm fine." Wang Xiao tried to move his arm, but Xu Chu acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and escorted him with a group of shield soldiers, retreating step by step.

Not far away, Cao Cao rode his horse and personally led his troops into the Wuchao military camp. He just glanced at Wang Xiao's blood-stained shoulders and rushed over without saying a word.

"Childe, the lord cares about you. It's just that the timing isn't right now. Xu Zhu, who was holding a shield to protect Wang Xiao by his side, explained to Cao Cao in a low voice.

Wang Xiao smiled slightly: "I know." ”

Of course he knew Cao Cao, and he knew very well what kind of person he was.

However, Cao Cao was able to send his bodyguard Xu Chu over to escort him, which was already an expression of his attitude.

Although this injury made Wang Xiao feel uncomfortable, to a certain extent, he was also a blessing in disguise.

Although Wang Xiao temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, the final result did not change.

Cao Cao successfully killed Chun Yuqiong, defeated his subordinates, and burned all the grain and grass.

Yuan Shao wanted to transport grain and grass from the rear again, and it would take at least half a month's work. As long as he can't break through Cao Cao's camp, then the outcome of this battle of Guandu is already doomed.

After dawn, the news of the destruction of Wuchao's grain and grass reached Yuan's army.

Zhang He, Gao Ran and others chose to surrender in despair. They also set fire to the small amount of food and grass in the camp.

Yuan's army was shaken, divided internally, and the army collapsed.

Yuan Shao, who vomited blood in anger, finally had to flee quickly with a group of cavalry and crossed the river back to Hebei. Most of the remaining Yuan troops were killed or captured.

The Battle of Guandu ended with Cao Cao's resounding victory.

He not only got the surrender of Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals and strategists of the Yuan army, but also obtained tens of thousands of prisoners of war. and the mountains of various military supplies in Yuan Shao's camp.

Yuan Shao's most elite field army was wiped out, and he no longer had the strength to defeat Cao Cao.

"Zijian." Cao Cao, who was extremely proud, came to the wounded barracks, walked quickly to Wang Xiao's side, and looked at his wrapped shoulders, "How is it?" ”

"It's not a big problem." Wang Xiao responded with a smile: "I don't need to be strong for the time being." It's good to recuperate for a while. ”

"Okay." Cao Cao nodded again and again and sat down directly beside him. His eyes were full of gratification, "You entered the Yuan camp alone and broke through the camp gate." This battle should be counted as your first achievement. Zijian, well done. ”

Wang Xiao is very modest: "This is what the last general should do." ”

After chatting for a while, Cao Cao asked, "In Yuan Shao's camp, many letters exchanged with him by generals in the army were found. What do you think should be done about this? ”

Wang Xiao's heart is open, this is another test.

If he said that this kind of person should be killed, then Cao Cao would definitely lose points in his heart. Maybe he will be regarded as a horseman with only martial arts.

"In this matter, you should write down the names of these people in your heart and leave them for later punishment. But for now, it should be based on appeasement. It is better to gather the generals and burn the letters in front of everyone to calm them. ”

Cao Cao was very relieved, and laughed, "Zi Jianzhen is my family's unicorn." ”

A few days later, Cao Cao really called everyone to discuss the matter. In front of everyone, take out those letters and burn them.

Many people looked relaxed, but they didn't notice that Cao Cao had already seen it all.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Cao Cao, who had burned the letter, sat down and looked around at the crowd, "Let's defeat Yuan Benchu, what should we do next?" All take an opinion. ”

The generals said one after another that whatever Sikong said was what it was.

The strategists thought to themselves, looked at each other and smiled, but no one spoke.

Only Cao Pi was a little anxious to come out, "Father, Yuan Shao is already a lost dog, and he can't live in fear." Let's lead the troops across the river to the north and destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Cao Cao squinted at him, and after a moment, his gaze turned to Wang Xiao, "Zijian, what do you think." Let's talk about it. ”

Wang Xiao bowed his hand, "Although Yuan Shao is defeated, his strength still exists." It occupies the land of the four states, and there are still a large number of soldiers and horses under its command, and there are also a lot of grain and grass materials. ”

"We have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and we are already sleepy. Now, it is time to return to Xudu to recuperate and wait and see what happens. ”

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia and the others, "What do you say?" ”

Guo Jia and others saluted, "What the former general said is very true. ”

"Okay." Cao Cao patted his legs and stood up, "The class teacher returns to the court." ”

Cao Pi on the side was as heavy as water, and his eyes were staring at Wang Xiao.
