People always say that history cannot be assumed, and that is because it is impossible to change the history that has already happened, and assumptions are useless.

But it can be imagined that if Xu Yu had not come to defect during the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao would not have been able to know the location of Yuan's army's grain, how would the historical process develop?

You must know that Guo Jia's so-called "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats" theory, and the various slogans put forward by Xun Yu and Xun You and other strategists, are of no use to the crisis in history when Cao Jun only has ten days of food left.

Now only the Cao brothers know that the grain and grass are exhausted, and before the soldiers are hungry, they led the army to attack the Yuan army at night, and there is still a glimmer of life.

Although there is a huge disparity in troops, as long as they are taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, they may not be unable to win.

Retreating or continuing the confrontation is a dead end.

"Dian Wei listens to orders!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"The last general!" Dian Wei put a double iron halberd at his waist, stood up from behind Cao Cao, and shouted loudly and bowed his hand.

"You are superior in force, you should not only be the general of my guard, today I order you to select three hundred warriors, take the lead in attacking the head of the Yuan army, and open the city gate.

If successful, each person will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan. ”

The fortifications built by Yuan's army were almost the same as a small city, and it was not so easy to sneak attack, so Cao Cao had to follow Yuan Shao's example and form a first-class camp.

If it comes to force and bravery, Dian Wei is naturally far superior to Ko Yi, so the power of the dead soldiers led by Dian Wei must overshadow Yuan Shao's first camp.

As long as Dian Wei can succeed, this sneak attack will be half successful.

"No!"

Dian Wei replied angrily, he immediately turned around and yelled at the group of soldiers behind him: "If you want money and don't want to die, follow me!" ”

The soldiers laughed for a while.

Dian Wei quickly selected three hundred strong soldiers.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, each person hung a bundle of hemp rope around his waist, and a flying claw was tied to the end of the rope.

Cao Cao personally led the army to follow silently.

This is a real life-and-death battle.

Either the sneak attack is successful, the weak defeat the strong, give Yuan Shao a head-on blow, leave him a respite for the Cao clan, continue to develop production, and accumulate grain and grass in the tuntian to continue to recruit soldiers.

Either the sneak attack fails, the Cao family will be defeated, and the counties and counties of Yanyu and the two prefectures will definitely fall to the wind, and the Cao family may not even be able to save the lives of his wife and children.

As for the cavalry led by Liu Ping who went deep behind enemy lines, now that ten days have passed, no news has come, and they may have taken the lead in running back to Xudu to set up defenses.

After all, it sounds impossible to let Liu Ping lead the army deep behind enemy lines, without any intelligence and no backup, to accurately find the place where Yuan's army is storing grain, and to lead the army to break through.

With the faint starlight, Dian Wei and his party successfully touched the city wall.

They untied the hemp rope from their waists, wheeled up the flying claws in front of them, and suddenly let go of their hands, and the flying claws firmly grasped the battlements at the head of the city.

These three hundred men were not afraid of death, and at the same time they were carefully selected elites, they pulled ropes, put their feet on the wall, and soon climbed to the head of the city with dozens of people.

Dian Wei, who was climbing behind, was overjoyed, it seemed that Yuan Jun had fallen asleep, so it went so smoothly.

Of course, they have been facing each other here for half a year, and no matter how tight the defense is, they can't help but relax.

Dian Wei had just had this thought in his heart, when he suddenly heard a banging sound in his ears.

There were hundreds of torches at the head of the city in an instant, illuminating the entire city as bright as day.

In the light of the fire, hundreds of archers pulled their strings like a full moon, and the cold and glittering arrows were facing the soldiers who were climbing on the wall.

At the same time, hundreds of Yuan troops armed with spears surrounded the dozen or so dead soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city.

"It's not good, it's a trick, retreat!"

Dian Wei, who hadn't climbed up yet, saw that the other party had already taken precautions, and hurriedly yelled at his companions.

"Whoosh!"

Before he finished speaking, the feathered arrows on the head of the city came down from above, and all of them shot head-on.

Dian Wei couldn't dodge in the air, so he could only pull the rope with his left hand, and pull out the halberd from his waist with his right hand to shoot the feather arrow.

But they were too close to the feather arrows, and they were shooting head-on from above, how could the halberd reach it?

In an instant, Dian Wei had already pierced several arrows on his body, but fortunately he was not in the vital place.

The feather arrows were still shooting down, Dian Wei gritted his teeth, released the rope with his left hand, pulled out the halberd, and hit the feather arrows with the double iron halberd in the air.

The feather arrow could be removed, but his huge body fell like a huge cloth bag.

At this time, he climbed more than two feet high, and after falling heavily to the ground, although he had rough skin and thick flesh, he still vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, it was dark, and after falling to the ground, the archers at the head of the city could not see him, and could not take aim, so he endured the tightness in his chest and was able to escape.

Pity him and bring the three hundred dead soldiers, and the dozen or so people who climbed up to the city were captured alive, but all those who were climbing were shot into hedgehogs, and none of them followed Dian Wei back.

"My lord, the last general was ambushed and failed."

Soon Cao Cao led the army to arrive, and Dian Wei knelt on the ground and vomited two mouthfuls of blood.

"It's not your fault, go down and recuperate," Cao Cao waved his hand at Dianwei, not blaming him.

However, Dian Wei was unsuccessful and disturbed Yuan Jun, and it was impossible to continue the plan to sneak attack.

For a while, Cao Cao felt a bit of a dilemma.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's voice came from the city: "Is it Brother Meng Dexian below?" Don't rush for a few years, it's always good, right? ”

The voice was full of banter and ridicule.

However, the two of them did have a small and allied relationship, when Cao Cao was defeated, it was Yuan Shao who funded Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, so that Cao Cao could make a comeback.

It's just that after the two of them developed and grew at the same time, and the enemies were all destroyed, they became the only two forces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The two turned against each other, and it was inevitable that they would meet each other.

"Brother Benchu, the younger brother is here," in the dark, Cao Cao also responded: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I miss it very much, why don't you hear it and don't see you?" ”

"Hahaha, Meng De, I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so cunning, I heard that Tai Shi Ci Lu Bu and other marksmen are all in your place, you want to earn me out, so that you can kill me with one blow, right?"

Although Yuan Shao shouted at the head of the city, he set up several shield arrays in front of him.

His advisers had already expected that this autumn and yellow time would be the time when Cao Jun ran out of food, and he would inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry these days.

Of course, it was also a good time for them to defeat Cao's army in a battle, so they had already deployed defenses at the head of the city.

Thinking that this was the last battle with his old friend, and that he was the victorious side, he naturally had to put on a graceful and generous posture.

In fact, only he knows in his heart that he was born in the family of the third prince of the fourth world, and he has never looked down on Cao Cao, who started as a eunuch.

"Mengde, don't pretend, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive my old friend, you're running out of food and grass, right?"

Yuan Shaozhi was complacent, but pretended to sigh and said, "Let's play from childhood to adulthood, forget it, don't fight anymore."

You only need to hand over the military power in your hands, and I can see the past situation, and spare your life from death.

Well, I think you have three daughters who have reached the age of marriage, and it just so happens that I have three sons, so let's make an appointment with the sons and daughters.

It's just that my three sons have already married wives, so I can only grieve your daughter to be a side room.

Jie'er's girl, I like it too, it just matches my family's Xianfu, what do you think? ”

"Phew, let my daughter be a concubine with your son, you want to be beautiful." Cao Cao scolded angrily.
