Chapter 337: Yuan Cao's Decisive Battle (4)
Xu Chu set up a position, and a general in Yuan's army came on horseback. Xu Chu didn't look at it, it was a knife diagonally, and the guy was cut in half even with a man and a horse. Guo Tu was shocked.
"Hahaha...... grandpa has been waiting here for a long time, but I didn't expect you to really come!" Xu Chu laughed, although there were not many people, as long as he stopped for a while, Cao Cao's army arrived, and Yuan Shao couldn't escape.
Guo Tu kept thinking about how to avoid this plague god. He had heard of someone who went, and there was a fierce general under Cao Cao's account, and now it seems that this person is undoubtedly this person. Yuan Shang mentioned the war horse, and the sword pounced on Xu Chu, Guo Tu didn't stop him, his eyes were closed, and he was just waiting to hear the scream.
But I didn't hear it for a long time, but I heard Yuan Shang shouting loudly: "Mr. Guo, take your father away, we will entangle this guy!" ”
Guo Tu hurriedly opened his eyes, and Yuan Shang led dozens of people around Xu Chu. Guo Tu called out to the heart of the third prince and ran away with Yuan Shao's oblique stab. As soon as Xu Chu saw that Yuan Shao was about to run, he was in a hurry and cut down a few people one after another, but Yuan Shang commanded more than a dozen of his personal guards to surround Xu Chu, but he didn't let go.
As soon as the main general ran away, the soldiers of the Yuan army had no fighting spirit. Zhang He and his soldiers fought for a whole morning, and they could not rest until this time. Zhang He dismounted and gasped. Guan Ping hurriedly ran over: "General, we lost five hundred brothers, another seven hundred were injured, and more than two hundred people were heavily supported. ”
Zhang He sighed and nodded: "Don't worry, they can't die in vain, let the brothers pack up the body and send it back to Xuansu!" They all died for the cause of the Lord! ”
"No!" Guan Ping replied respectfully.
Cao Cao walked to Xun Zhan's side: "The soldiers of Xun Junshi are extremely brave, if it weren't for Xun Junshi's help this time, I'm afraid Cao Cao will really fail!" ”
Xun Zhan smiled faintly: "Meng De's ambush on all sides, a Yuan Shao is not in Cao Darao's grasp, I just did the icing on the cake, but Meng De should not forget our agreement!" ”
Cao Cao nodded: "Of course, of course, Xun Junshi can rest assured that we are allies now, and the rest of the things are naturally easy to discuss, I wonder if Xun Junshi will go back to report now, or go to the Yecheng battlefield with me?" ”
"Hehehe......" Xun Zhan looked at Cao Cao and smiled: "Meng De's appetite is indeed not!" That's it! Zhongzhi, you lead the soldiers to send the dead soldiers back to the camp first, and I will go to Yecheng with Meng De! ”
"No!" Although Xun Zhan was an understatement, Xin Ping nodded solemnly.
Cao Cao asked puzzledly: "Since you have died in battle, just bury it on the spot, why bother to transport it back to the camp?" ”
Xun Zhan smiled: "Meng De doesn't know, when these joined the army, I promised their parents that even if they died in battle, I would let them go home, although they died here, but their home is not here, I am a person who doesn't count." ”
Xi Zhicai snorted coldly: "It's a big problem!" ”
Xun Zhan smiled and did not refute. Xu You nodded: "I cherish the remains of soldiers so much, why don't you worry about the soldiers not desperately killing the enemy, I didn't expect that Xun Junshi is still a prodigy in commanding troops, there are some things that others can't learn, and Xun Junshi is self-taught without a teacher, amazing!" ”
Xun Yu was also curious about Xun Zhan, and looked at it twice.
When Yuan Shao entered Liyang again, there were only five or six thousand people left behind him, and the 200,000 army was squandered in just half a year. Guo Tu found a doctor to carefully diagnose Yuan Shao. The doctor looked at it for a long time, shook his head and sighed lightly: "The lord is in a hurry, and if he wants to be cured, he will not be excited and angry." Guo Tu laughed in his heart, now that the situation is not excited, there is still such a possibility, it seems that Yuan Shao is really approaching.
"Father! Is my father well? As soon as he saw off the doctor, Yuan Shang was covered in blood and walked in with the support of two personal soldiers. Guo Tu was taken aback: "Third son, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yuan Shang didn't answer, but asked, "How is my father?" ”
Guo Tu said: "Don't worry, the third son, the doctor's illness is nothing serious!" ”
Yuan Shang sat down at this time, and cracked his teeth: "It's okay, it's okay!" I'm relieved! ”
Guo Tu sighed and said: "Third son, now that the lord is seriously ill, we are not out of danger, and the cluster is not a place to stay for a long time, please ask the third prince for that idea, what should we do?" ”
Yuan Shang asked, "What should I do with Mr. Yi's meaning?" ”
Guo Tu said: "Now that our army has been defeated, Yanjin and Baima will definitely not be protected, even if it is Liyang, I am afraid it will ...... in the near future, in terms of subordinates, we should rush back to Yecheng as soon as possible, gather the army again, and prevent Cao Cao from continuing to go north." ”
"What other armies are there?" Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "Second brother's soldiers, the first battle of Yanjin was completely wiped out, my sergeants are also gone under Guandu City, and the eldest brother's Youzhou cavalry has also been wiped out, and the 200,000 army will be wiped out in a blink of an eye, where do we still have soldiers!" ”
Guo Tu said: "The third prince can leave and send someone to Youzhou to let Han Juzi lead the troops back to Yecheng, they still have tens of thousands of soldiers, and they are sending people to ask the senior cadres to send troops to rescue, I think these two roads add up to 100,000 horses, enough to stop Cao Cao." ”
Yuan Shang smiled, and smiled helplessly: "Sir, your previous journey may be okay, Gao Gan will definitely not send troops here, although his father is Gao Gan's uncle, Gao Gan has always respected his father, that is Gao Gan has asked our Yuan family, and now seeing that we are gone, Gao Gan may be negotiating with Cao Cao, and he is undecided if he wants to join Cao Cao!" ”
Guo Tu sighed: "Third son, now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, one step at a time." ”
Cao Cao went all the way north, passing through the White Horse, preparing to cross the river. Xi Zhicai whispered a few words in Cao Cao's ear, and Cao Cao laughed: "Good news, good news!" Chun Yuqiong and Gao Lan, who harassed me in Yanzhou, were surrounded by Cao Hong and Li Dian in Puyang, and now Yuan Shaozhen has reached the point of exhaustion, hahaha......! ”
Xun Zhan smiled slightly: "Although the words are so, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, although Yuan Shao's main force is damaged, Ranyou, Jizhou, a vast area, a large population, and hundreds of thousands of horses casually, if Yuan Shao does not die, I am afraid that there are still great variables about who belongs to Hebei!" ”
Xun Yu agreed: "Xun Junshi is very right, the ancients caused a disaster, as long as Yuan Shao also died, the whole Hebei should be in chaos, that time is a good time for us to march into the army, if the lord is too anxious now, Yuan Shao's three sons are the same enemy, we can't get benefits, it is better for the lord to endure for some time." ”
"The lord can't, we finally forced Yuan Shao like this, if he makes a comeback, we have another hard fight." When Xi Zhicai saw Xun Yu suggesting that Cao Cao withdraw his troops, he immediately spoke out to stop him.
