When the Cao army attacking the city approached, the Hebei army reserve suddenly poured boiling black crude oil from the city wall, Yan Liang waved his hand expressionlessly, countless rockets shot from behind him, and the pontoon bridge placed on the moat was also burned, the fire was fierce and the smoke was billowing out, and this round of strong attack carefully organized by the Cao army was repulsed.

Yuan Shao made up his mind at this moment, Hebei cannot afford to lose, and that big secret will be temporarily sealed in Jiangdong.

Yuan Shao, who showed his deity, came to the city, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in northern Hebei, and the shouts of long live long live were endless, originally northern Hebei had become a lonely city, and in the past two days, Yan Liang sent a large number of scouts to pass on the news of Yuan Shaojian's return to the rear.

Therefore, the lord is still there, and the soul of the army of Hebei is still there, and the whole Hebei is suddenly hot.

There are more than a dozen righteous armies that have come to aid since northern Hebei, you must know that Yuan Shao has been deeply cultivated in Hebei, Qing, You, and Tan for more than ten years, and his reputation is extremely high. Countless rebels and civilians broke through the pursuit of rain of arrows and came to the current pilgrimage city. They came from all directions, but they disappeared quickly, like a surprise from the sky, and before Cao's chariots could get close to the city, they were smashed by stones and trunks as thick as tree trunks.

Towering cloud carts and trebuchets were parked motionless by the moat, and the fire spread above it as if it had been burned to the ground after a fire. There were corpses everywhere, there were blades everywhere, people were screaming in pain, and heaven and earth were like hell.

There was a faint depressive black gas on Cao Cao's face, why is this city defense so impermeable? What kind of existence are these rangers coming from all directions? The news of Yuan Shaojian's presence was automatically filtered by him, and he thought that it was a strategy taken by Yan Liang to defend northern Hebei, which could unite the hearts of the people of Hebei in a short period of time, and it was a pure yang scheme, but he just couldn't break it.

"Abominable Yan Liang, abominable Hebei Yankee!" Cao Cao punched Huang Feidian on the side.

The war horse neighed wildly, raised its front hooves, and almost didn't kick him into meat sauce, but fortunately, the war horse recognized the lord and was loyal enough, and subconsciously took it back at the moment when the horse's hooves kicked it to Cao Cao...

At this time, Cao Hong and others rushed over with a group of generals. The group bowed in panic and shouted in unison: "The lord is angry." ”

Cao Cao was angry, but he didn't agree for a while. Cheng Yu, who was a strategist, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Prime Minister, the enemy army has played the banner of Yuan Shao's comeback, and the morale is flourishing at the moment, according to the news transmitted from the rear, in the past three days, our army's Hebei garrisons have been unstable, and there have been no less than ten riots, especially... It is Qingzhou Jieshou, the guard will open his jaw and turn out, you must know that our army's military food transportation, this is a place that must pass, if you lose it, the consequences are unimaginable! Our... will become a lone army, and please make a quick decision on the Lord. ”

Cao Cao said coldly: "Alone! What a joke! We besieged Yan Liang as a lone army, but half a month later, we became a lone army, who will tell Lone, what is going on? What happened in the intervening months? ”

The people were in awe, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, all with a look of sincere fear. Cheng Yu didn't dare to defend anymore, kowtowed: "Weichen made a mistake in planning, and he is willing to accept the guilt!" ”

Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, thinking of the battle of Guandu a few years ago, at that time Cheng Yu was more high-spirited, even if he was a small soldier, he was full of confidence, and he did it step by step, so that Yuan Shao was ignorant of the head and tail, and was immediately defeated. Cao Cao sighed, and said in his heart that Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia were not at the same level after all.

"Spread the will of the orphan, the front army and the rear army exchanged each other, the whole army retreated ninety miles, and stationed in Cai County, since it is going to rain on this day, the mother is going to get married, so let go to the north of Hebei." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Cao Cao is a decisive man, and this battle can no longer be fought, so there is no need to fight to the death. He made a deployment very neatly in an instant, and made a few simple and rough moves, but he made everything clear.

Cai County is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the terrain is dangerous, behind it is the vast Shangcai Mountains, and less than 30 miles away after the mountains, is its own Longxiang naval base, the upper can be attacked, the lower can be defended, although a large area of land in Jizhou has been caught, but it can form a corner of the trend, along the river to control and threaten the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. In the current situation, Cai County is a very beautiful place to defend and counterattack. Everyone nodded in unison and began to arrange the retreat.

Only Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao with a weak heart, Cai County? Strategically, it's a good choice. However, the county guard of Cai County is Dong Cheng... Seeing Cao Cao's fire-breathing eyes, he pressed what he thought in his heart. “

The morale of the Cao army who retreated to Dong Cheng's territory was low, this is the last pure land of the royalists, and the military flag has been maintained as a standard Hanlong flag, and the garrison is not very cold to Cao Cao, and there is no good face for the defeated Cao army, and he is extremely ridiculous, but under the persuasion of Dong Cheng, the county guard of Cai County, will give these tens of thousands of Cao troops a place to be tolerated. After the first battle in northern Hebei, Cao Cao was in a coma for three days and three nights, and has not woken up so far, the entire Cao camp is filled with a depressive atmosphere, and the Hebei army took the opportunity to recover the entire territory of Hebei, Yuan Shao is even more out of the banner of "Qing Jun's side, except for traitors", and the limelight is very close for a while, such as Wang Yu, Cai Zhong and other small princes bow down to it, and some people who have fallen to Cao Ying have also become ready to move.

One thing that is even more strange is that after receiving the urgent documents from Cheng Yu and others, Cao Pi, as Cao Cao's eldest son, did not rush from Xudu in a hurry, but replied with a cold paper: Jizhou is defeated, the world is turbulent, and it is necessary to sit here and settle people's hearts on behalf of his father. The word "generation" is full of ambition, and its purpose is obvious. However, after receiving the news, the second son Cao Zhi brought the divine doctor Huaming from Ju County, which brought some comfort to Cheng Yu and others.

The undercurrent of Cai County has become the focus of all parties, and Liu Hong's Shenji Battalion is also frequently transferred, where is this Cao Cao not good, but he went to Cai County, this is a good opportunity to annihilate him in one fell swoop, even Liu Hong, who is as stable as Mount Tai, is also throbbing! In the past few days, he has also frequently passed books with Dong Han, with only one purpose: to kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

"The lord is unconscious, the Hebei army is attacking fiercely on the periphery, this Yuan Shao is also ruthless, and now the surrounding counties and cities of Cai County have been captured, and it is already a lonely city, gentlemen, do you have any opinions on this situation?" Cheng Yu was worried, Cao Cao still showed no signs of waking up, and the divine doctor Hua Ming was helpless about it, and he had to convene this military and political meeting with a new defeat, this meeting could not be held, and now the army's heart is rippling, there is a possibility of mutiny, to unify the thoughts of the sergeants, these civil ministers and military generals must understand the hearts of them thoroughly.

Lu Chang came out of the ranks and said arrogantly: "Military advisor, what are you afraid of? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, wait for the lord to wake up, gather the world's soldiers and horses, and the siege of Cai County will be resolved, and the Hebei Yankees will not be troubled! ”

"Pingdi's words are wrong, you tell so-and-so, when will the lord wake up? If we don't wake up for a few days, we can still wait for our army's combat strength, but if we don't wake up for a year and a half, will we just sit here and wait for death? Zhang Ling let out a loud cry and said immediately.

The Chinese generals were roughly divided into two factions: the First War and the First Peace. Although Cheng Yu is the chief military advisor, he does not have the prestige of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, he can't suppress the scene, and he doesn't have an exact point of view, looking at the new moon outside at this moment, he can only sigh.

At this time, the herald entered the inner hall and said: "There is a messenger from Hebei!" ”

Lu Chang suddenly pulled out his sword and said sharply: "At this time, the Hebei barbarians will come to humiliate us and others, and it is as fast as a certain killing!" ”

"Slow!" Cheng Yu waved his sleeves suddenly, "The two countries will not fight each other, and now our army has no plan, it is not impossible to see what Yuan Shao will say, come and pass on Yuan... Great General's Messenger! This Yuan Shao's title of "life" leader is now dead and alive, since he was in the original position of the government, Cheng Yu said with a bitter smile.

This Hebei envoy came in the name of Yuan Shao, and the conditions were as follows: Cao Cao spontaneously sinned against himself and removed the title of prime minister; Acknowledging Yuan Shao's occupation of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Weizhou, Sizhou, and Chuzhou, and at the same time taking the middle reaches of the Yellow River as the boundary, the two armies were not allowed to use swords and soldiers for three years. Yuan Shao's envoy made an unequivocal threat: if Cao Cao did not comply, he would enter Cai County and make this Cai County a grave for his bones.

All the generals were furious, if their eyes could kill, this messenger was afraid that he had already died eighteen times, but this messenger was also bold, and after the announcement was completed, he sat down on the ground in front of Cheng Yu, picked up a pot of good wine a few days ago, and tasted it himself.

"Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name?"

"A certain Tian Fu, Jizhou Ling Tian Feng is a certain brother!" The envoy replied with a big grin, this Tian family is a madman, Cheng Yu knows it, and at this moment, the heart is really worthy of its name.

"This is a big matter, and we need to discuss it for a while, and I invite Mr. to take a break after entering and have his own wine to entertain you." Cheng Yu made a look at Zhang Ling, and Zhang Ling hurriedly picked up Tian Fu's long sleeves and arched his hand.

When the two of them stayed away from the military tent, Cheng Yu summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss the military aircraft...

Many people in the account spoke and expressed their opinions. However, Cao Hong's words were the most direct: "This is Yuan Thief's plan, the four states he wants have been occupied by him, and what he needs is just right!" And let the prime minister sin the world, in order to weaken the prestige of the prime minister, under the elimination of one and the other, the prestige of the Yuan thief is monstrous, and it will inevitably give our army an overwhelming advantage! ”

Cheng Yu didn't know how powerful Yuan Shao's plan was, it seemed that he wanted to stop the sword soldiers, but in fact, he was hiding needles in the cotton, hurting people invisibly.

Lü Chang brought a rough map hanging on a wooden frame, with red and blue circles and lines outlining the important towns occupied by Yuan and Cao, as well as roads and water systems. He came out again and said: "If you can't believe it, please see: Yuan's army and navy have entered the irrigation near the Shendu from the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and they can go down from this to the east, and the water and land are parallel. Arrive at my Xu capital through Hao and Si, and approach Longyao; The so-called three-year truce is afraid that it is a false and unscrupulous plan, for the sake of today's plan, only to go out of Cai County, recover Qingzhou, and open up the strategic channel between Qingzhou, Shendu and Xudu, otherwise in less than three years, our army will be defeated. ”
