"Cao Apu, you are smart all your life, but you can't see the situation in front of you clearly?"

Yuan Shao shyly folded his chest and sneered contemptuously: "To tell you the truth, I still have enough grain and grass for half a year."

And you...... The food and grass are exhausted, the collapse of the army is imminent, and it is easy for me to break through Guandu.

In the future, my army will go south and take Xudu, whether your daughter will marry my son as a concubine or not, is it not a matter of my words? ”

In fact, in Yuan Shao's view, their Yuan family is the fourth generation and third duke, and their protégés are all over the world, and they are the top wealthy families in the world today.

Even if it weren't for the current situation in which the victory and defeat were divided, if it was ordinary, the daughter of a family like the Cao family, who started from eunuchs, was not qualified to be his son's wife.

What's more, now that the overall situation has been decided, after he captures Xudu, Cao Cao's daughters will become his prisoners, and it is understandable that they will be assigned to their sons as concubines when the time comes.

When Cao Jie was young, Yuan Shao had seen it and knew that it was a beauty billet, and now that he has grown up, although he has been promised to Liu Ping, he will not delay him in snatching it and giving it to his favorite son Yuan Shang.

Of course, this is not that he lacks such a few women, the reason why he did this is purely to humiliate Cao Cao and Liu Ping.

"It's just a toast and don't eat and drink," Yuan Shao snorted coldly, "Ah Pu, if you think you can break through my defense, you might as well let the horse come over and try it."

But I still advise you to save the province, your soldiers are all young and strong raised by their mother's father, why let them die in vain? ”

At this time, in the darkness under the city, Cao Cao in the military formation sat on a horse, his hand tightly clutching the lance and his muscles burst out, and his body trembled slightly because of anger.

What Yuan Shao said was actually right, after the grain and grass were exhausted, his soldiers would soon disappear.

When the Yuan army goes south, it is conceivable that all the states and counties in Yanyu and Henan will definitely fall to the wind.

Although Liu Ping has already led the army back to Xudu to set up defenses, but when the time comes, the power of the Yuan army will be even stronger, how can Liu Ping defend Xudu with such a few men?

When the time comes, the city will be broken, and the family will be robbed by Yuan Jun, which is also a logical thing.

But now his sneak attack has failed.

He has few soldiers and horses, even if he is desperately leading the army to attack Yuan's fortifications now, there is not even half hope under careful calculation, it is really like what Yuan Shao said, it is just to let the soldiers die in vain.

For a while, Cao Cao was in a dilemma and fell into a difficult choice.

At this time, Yuan Shao at the head of the city saw that there was no sound on the other side, so he couldn't help but sneer, and said loudly: "Ah Pu, what are you hesitating about, do you really not take the lives of the soldiers seriously?"

Then I'll make a decision for you! ”

He beckoned and pushed over the dozen or so Cao soldiers who had taken the lead in the city: "Listen to the Cao soldiers, I will kill one person every three times."

This is the fate of your foolish and loyal Cao Apu, and I can't blame me, it's only because you have no eyes and no beads, and you don't serve the strong side of the army.

However, it is too late to regret it now. ”

"One!

Two!

Three, do it! ”

As soon as Yuan Shao gave an order, a personal soldier immediately stepped forward and cut off the head of a dead soldier with a knife, and the blood of the headless corpse spurted out three feet high, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao began to count again, and cut off the heads of five people one after another.

It's just that these Cao soldiers are carefully selected tough guys, who came to attack the city with the intention of dying, so many people died in front, and no one in the back begged for mercy, all of them held their heads high and died generously.

However, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who watched their companions being killed, couldn't help but fluctuate in the hearts of the people.

Of course, it is too common for people to die on the battlefield, and the casualties are much more cruel than this.

But when they had no power to fight back, they were beheaded by the other party, and their lord had no way at all, which was too demoralizing.

"That's it, that's it, it's a big deal!"

Cao Cao, who was in the army, was naturally keenly aware of the changes in the soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh, his heart was like ashes for a while, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be that the sky wants to destroy Cao Hu?" ”

"One,

Two

Three ......"

Yuan Shao shouted out three numbers, and was about to kill one more person to completely crush the morale of Cao's army.

Suddenly, a soldier with a gray face hurriedly ran over from behind, panting and said: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Wuchao was attacked by the Cao army, and all the grain and grass have been ignited, please send someone to rescue immediately." ”

"What?"

Yuan Shao, who was still proud at the last moment, was stunned when he heard the news, and then he jumped up like thunder, stepped forward and grabbed the herald's shoulder and shook it violently: "What about Chun Yuqiong?"

What did my 20,000 army do?

Is the Wuchao camp a mud pinch? ”

He asked questions one after another, but the herald was only responsible for delivering the news, and Yuan Shao shook the seven meat and eight vegetarians, and none of those questions could be answered.

Yuan Shao was about to go crazy.

He hoarded all the grain and grass in the black nest, and was ready to spend it with the Cao family to the end, if it was burned, he would not be able to transport it even if there was food in the back.

"Lord, don't make a noise, break Cao Jun first," Fu Yu hurriedly reminded beside him.

Seeing that the Yuan army had an absolute advantage, Cao Jun and Cao Cao himself were already on the verge of collapse, as long as they defeated Cao Jun, even if the grain and grass were gone, it didn't matter.

At this time, the Cao army had already left the fortifications, and as long as the Yuan army poured out, it would definitely be able to defeat the Cao army.

Yuan Shao suddenly came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "When I personally lead the army out of the city, give him Cao Apu a ride." ”

At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly in the dark night: "Cao Sikong, Yuan Juntun's grain has been burned." ”

"Yuan Jun's grain and grass have been burned!"

It was the captured Cao soldiers who were struggling and shouting into the darkness below.

"Bastard!"

Yuan Shao was furious and waved his hand.

All the captured Cao soldiers were killed, and they used their last moments to deliver this valuable news to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao listened to their words and immediately looked excited.

It's a pity that those soldiers can't be saved.

"Big brother, is it Ping'er who has succeeded?" Cao Hong asked in a low voice beside him.

"It must be so," Cao Cao couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and at the same time sighed: It's too timely, and the son-in-law simply saved the Cao family again at the last moment.

Otherwise, he didn't know how to deal with the situation just now.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ping led a lone army deep behind enemy lines, which could have such a great effect.

"Withdraw for the time being and wait and see what happens." Cao Cao then ordered.

"Withdraw?" Cao Hong asked puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask when the other words came to his mouth.

It was because of the lack of food that they had to fight with the Yuan army quickly, and now they have withdrawn, isn't the embarrassment of lack of food not solved at all?

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Now, it's him Yuan Shao who should be anxious, go back and watch the show." ”
