It's the beginning of a new week, so ask a friend to smash the pure wolf on the head with flowers! ）

On Phoenix Mountain, Yuan Shao proposed that Yuan Shao ask Cao Caojun for help, Yuan Shao couldn't help but hesitate, Yuan Shao was not reluctant to give up half of the land in Jizhou, no matter how precious the land was, it was not as precious as his own life, as for handing over the generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang - they were not Yuan Shao's nephews, Yuan Shao would not feel distressed, Yuan Shao just couldn't pull his face to ask for help from the old enemy who was still fighting for life and death last night, and the honor of the fourth and third princes could not allow Yuan Shao to do this.

"Lord, now is not the time to save face." Seeing through Yuan Shao's thoughts, he kowtowed and cried: "Although asking Cao Cao for help will damage the face of the lord, Han Xin is still humiliated by his crotch, and Gaozu also has the siege of Baideng. ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao stood up, drew his sword and shouted: "This public school is a high ancestor, not Xiang Yu!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was re-energized, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Taking advantage of the enemy's encirclement of Chucheng, it is not yet solid, please write a letter to the lord, and select the warriors to rush out of the encirclement to ask for help from the trial and Cao Cao. ”

Yuan Shao didn't say a word, took off the cloak on his body, swung his sword and cut it in half, and cut the index finger of his right hand with a sword, and wrote two blood letters on the cloak, one for trial and matching, and one for Cao Cao. The son of this father is a warrior, the three of you, who is willing to risk death to break through to move the rescuers? ”

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang clasped their fists together and said in unison: "The child is willing to go." Yuan Shao stared at his three sons and nodded, "Okay, Tan'er will go to find Cao Cao, and Xi'er will go to Guangping." Hearing his father's arrangement, Yuan Tan was furious in his heart, and sent Yuan Xi to Youzhou to move the rescue troops, but sent Yuan Tan to find Cao Cao, who didn't know where to flee, and begged in a low voice, which showed that Yuan Shao was not at ease to hand over the military power in Youzhou to his eldest son, who had never loved him, but Yuan Tan also knew that now was not the time to worry about his father, although he secretly hated it in his heart, he had to agree loudly.

"Cao Cao fled to the east in Liyang, he must have gone to Puyang to get food, and the eldest prince can go to Puyang to find Cao Cao." After analyzing the movements of Cao Cao's army, he admonished: "Please immediately lead the army to Dongshan to shout, feign to rush down Dongshan, attract the attention of the enemy, and the two sons can take the opportunity to fight their way out of the encirclement in the north and south directions." ”

Yuan Shao was already at a loss at the moment, so he could only obey the frustrated instructions, and immediately handed over the best two war horses to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and divided the pheasants hunted on Phoenix Mountain with his two sons, and led the remnants of the army to the eastern mountain of Phoenix Mountain to shout, feigning to break through, Dong Zhuojun really hit the plan, and concentrated the main forces in the east, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi took the opportunity to rush down in the south and the north, and successively fought a bloody road and successfully got out of the encirclement.

Seeing the two sons disappear on the horizon one after another, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in a daze, but he was thoughtful - Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi broke through too easily, but he had heard that Zhao Yun was charging in front of the Tiger Prison Pass and fighting Lu Bu fiercely, but looking at his performance in helping Yuan Xi, he was not even as good as a third-rate general. Suddenly, he thumped his chest and shouted, "Oops! I mistook Jia Xu's plan! ”

……

Let's not say that I regretted it on Phoenix Mountain, and I didn't say that Yuan Xi asked for help from the north, but said that Yuan Tan highlighted the encirclement to the south, all the way to the starry night, and rushed to Puyang with food and sleep, fortunately did not encounter Dong Zhuojun on the road, three days later, Yuan Tan successfully arrived in Puyang City to find Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao rushed to Puyang after breaking through Liyang, Jia Xu's insufficient troops did not have time to pay attention to him, so that Cao Cao gained a firm foothold in Puyang, and transferred a batch of food from Dongjun to help the emergency, and gradually recovered his vitality, He is sending scouts everywhere to inquire about Dong Zhuojun's situation in Jizhou, so as to avoid suffering the loss of the enemy's unknown situation.

The soldiers of Cao Cao's army on the gate of Puyang found Yuan Tan wearing Yuan Shaojun's military uniform, pulled his bow and arrows and pointed at Yuan Tan, and the head of the city gate shouted: "Stop, who is coming?" Yuan Tan held up Yuan Shao's blood book and shouted: "I am Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Gong, the Duke of Rongguo, holding my father's blood book to ask to see the King of Wei, and hope that your army will introduce me." Hearing that it was Yuan Shao's envoy, the city gate chief did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was also worried about whether Yuan Shaojun had been completely annihilated by Dong Zhuojun and caused him to deal with Dong Zhuojun alone.

In a moment, Yuan Tan was brought into the official hall, and the realistic Yuan Tan didn't say a word, he knelt down in front of Cao Cao and cried, "Uncle Wei Wang, please send troops to save my father quickly, if there is a delay, my father is only afraid that he will be poisoned by Dong thieves." Between crying, Yuan Tan held up Yuan Shao's blood book with both hands, Cao Cao took it and unfolded it, the letter was nothing more than Yuan Shao's painful change of his past, regretting the alliance with Dong Boss, and hoping that Cao Cao would send troops to relieve the siege for the sake of many years of old friends, and cede half of the land of Jizhou to Cao Cao after the matter was completed, and be willing to hand over the murderer of Cao Cao's father to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao finished reading it, he put down Yuan Shao's blood book and said lightly: "The virtuous nephew has worked hard from afar, and he will go down to rest first, and then decide to send troops after Gu and everyone have discussed it." Yuan Tan was indeed very tired, so he was led down to rest.

After Yuan Tan went down, Cao Cao sent Yuan Shao's blood book to his advisers, Guo Jia pondered for a moment after seeing it, and immediately said: "The king can't be fooled, this is Jia Xu's poisonous plan to encircle the point to help, the purpose is to mobilize the remnants of Yuan Shao's forces and our army to rescue, and Dong thief ambushed Yuan Shao and the main force of our army with leisure. Speaking of this, Guo Jia sneered: "It is worthy of being a poisoner, Jia Xu's plan is really poisonous, as long as Yuan Shao's remnants of the army are destroyed, the two states of Jiyou are at his fingertips, if our army is in the middle of the plan and the main force is destroyed, Dong Thief can just go to receive Qingzhou, and he can take three states with one plan, and he can figure it out." ”

"How can Feng Xiao be sure that this is Jia Xu's poisonous plan?" In fact, Cao Cao also had some suspicions in his heart that this was Jia Xu's poisonous plan to cut off his children and grandchildren, but he just wanted to find out.

"Dong thieves are not enough to seize the two states of Jiyou." Guo Jia analyzed one by one: "Since the beginning of the invasion of Yizhou in the second year of the first peace, Dong thief in more than three years, has captured Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiangnan, although unstoppable, but most of the troops have fallen into these newly occupied areas, it is too late to consolidate the rule of these newly occupied areas, the details have been ascertained, Dong thief this time to Jizhou troops, Dong thief only sent 80,000 horses, I have to admit that Dong thief's battle-hardened army combat effectiveness is far better than Yuan Shaojun's, much stronger than our army, the main force frontal decisive battle, Neither our army nor Yuan Shaojun will be Dong Thief's opponent! However, the territory of the two states is vast, if Yuan Shao's army is defending according to the danger, and Dong thief has to not only conquer the remnants of Yuan Shao from a long distance, but also defend the newly occupied area from being counterattacked by Yuan Shao's army, this point of soldiers and horses is far from enough, so Jia Xu deliberately surrounded Yuan Shao without fighting, just to induce Yuan Shao's remnants to go to the rescue, and Dong thieves gathered and annihilated! It's ridiculous that Yuan Shao really thought that the little Phoenix Mountain could be defended, and he didn't want to think about it, Jia Xu really wanted his life now, just cut off Yuan Shao's way to get water, and within three days, Yuan Shao couldn't hold on. ”

"Bong-hyo." Xi Zhicai asked, "Did you miss a little?" Dong Thief himself is still in Yongzhou, he is a veteran who has brought soldiers for decades, won't he bring his own soldiers and horses to reinforce Jia Xu? ”

"That's the second point I'm going to make." Guo Jia continued: "Dong thief will never dare to lead troops to recruit in person!" Dong thief treacherous, and suspicious by nature, after the death of Dong thief's son-in-law Li Ru last year, Dong thief can not find a second person to guard the rear and rest assured to entrust the military and political power, the war in Jiangnan has not stopped, Yizhou is still rebuilding, there are small bandits in Jingzhou and there are small bandits in rebellion, it is necessary to prepare soldiers from Yong and Liang three states to supplement the grain and grass, these things are complicated, and a person needs to coordinate the organization in the center, Dong thief can fully trust the two younger brothers Dong Chong and Dong Man are well-known gentlemen, and they can't become a big tool, Dong thief can only stay by himself in order to deal with the rear government affairs, I didn't dare to go out in person anymore. ”

"Dong Chong! Lone must break him into pieces! At the mention of this name, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, all of them rode with three thousand tigers and leopards composed of ten people, and the whole army was wiped out by Dong Chong's croton, Menghan medicine and Heding red poison, which was an eternal pain in Cao Cao's heart! (PS: The tiger and leopard rider in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is composed of 100 generals, and this book is composed of 10 generals because of Cao Cao's shrinking territory and small population base.) ）

Guo Jia's words made everyone nod their heads, Cao Cao stroked his short beard slightly, and suddenly asked: "Relying on the words of filial piety, should Gu go to save Yuan Shao?" ”

"Save, but not save." Guo Jia smiled.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao Qi said.

"Since Jia Xu wants to encircle the point and send reinforcements, the troops will move north, and the rear will definitely be empty." Guo Jia bit his snow-white fine teeth and said: "Jia has a plan, so that Jia Xu can steal the chicken without eating the rice ......."

……

That night, Cao Cao met with Yuan Tan again, and expressed to Yuan Tan that he agreed to send troops to rescue Cao Cao, Yuan Tan was overjoyed, and thanked him repeatedly, but Cao Cao said that his troops were insufficient, and he was worried that he would not be able to defeat Dong Zhuojun, hoping to attack Dong Zhuojun who surrounded Phoenix Mountain with joint action, so that he could be sure of victory. Yuan Tan was shocked, clenched his fists and said: "Uncle, my father is surrounded by a lonely mountain and food is cut off, so can he wait until Youzhou rescues?" I also hope that my uncle will immediately send troops to relieve my father's siege. ”

"Definitely." Cao Cao Zhengse said: "Dong thief general Lu Buyong crowns the world, no one can be the one, Zhao Yun, Li Dao and Guo Yan and others are also Dong thief's minions, very people can win, the lonely army to save the original, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed, but it will harm the original life." Speaking of this, Cao Cao took out a letter, "Annoying the virtuous nephew to work hard again, send this letter to Mr. Trial, according to the distance, Mr. Trial's rescue soldiers should arrive at Phoenix Mountain around February 16, and the army alone on February 11 can also arrive at the foot of Phoenix Mountain on that day, and the two armies will attack together, and they will definitely defeat Dong Thief." ”

Yuan Tan wanted to ask Cao Cao to send troops immediately, but Cao Cao had a resolute attitude and must do it with the trial, Yuan Tan had no choice but to agree, Cao Cao asked someone to arrange dry food for Yuan Tan and personally sent Yuan Tan out of the city, and repeatedly told Yuan Tan to be careful on the road before shedding tears and saying goodbye.

After Yuan Tan rode alone and disappeared in Cao Cao's field of vision, Cao Cao turned back to the city, in front of the city gate, a team of patrolling tigers and leopards rode by, saw Cao Cao, the team of tigers and leopards immediately saluted Cao Cao, Cao Cao stopped the horses, and asked the captain of the team of tigers and leopards: "You, it seems to be called Wang Tian, right?" ”

The captain of the tiger and leopard cavalry saluted and said, "Back to the king, the villain is Wang Tian." ”

"Good." Cao Cao nodded and said, "You come with Gu, and the others continue to patrol." ”

The muscles on Wang Tian's face twitched slightly, but he immediately replied, "Obey." ”

Cao Cao took Wang Tian all the way to a secret room in the Puyang official office, where there was not only Cao Cao's absolute henchman Guo Jia, but also a team of knife and axe men with big knives, Cao Cao sat down in the middle and asked slowly: "Wang Tian, where are you from?" Is there anyone else in the house? When did you join our army? How did he become the captain of the Haw Par Riding Squad? ”

"Return to the King." Wang Tian quickly replied: "The villain is a Yanzhou clan, no family, Chu Ping joined the king's army in March of the fifth year, just because the villain has practiced martial arts since childhood, will have some rough fists and feet, three months later during the military competition was appreciated by General Xu Zhen, licensed to join the tiger and leopard cavalry, and then in the battle of the white horse has killed 16 enemies, accumulated merit and rose to captain. ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, just stared at Wang Tian with a smile, staring at Wang Tian's heart, at this time, Guo Jia spoke, "General Wang's resume is good, he is worthy of being the elite of Dong Zhuo's Dark Moon Group, your family in Chang'an, life is good?" ”

Wang Tian was shocked, and his first reaction was to jump up and want to kill Guo Jia and Cao Cao, but the knife and axe hands in the secret room immediately surrounded him, Wang Tian's knees weakened, he sat on the ground in a daze, and said in a trance: "Since the king has seen through it, please ask the king to do it, Wang Tian has nothing to say." ”

Cao Cao still smiled silently, but Guo Jia smiled and waved his hand, a knife and axe hand brought a wooden box, opened it to Wang Tian, and suddenly the house was full of jewels, Wang Tian's eyes couldn't help but light up, Guo Jia smiled and threw two bamboo cards to Wang Tian, Wang Tian looked down and saw that it was a special female prisoner distribution card in Cao Cao's army, with these two bamboo cards, you can choose two women from the female prisoners captured by Cao Cao's army to enjoy for life, which has always been used to reward Cao Cao's army with a special reward for great military achievements.

"As long as you answer my questions honestly." Guo Jia smiled and said: "These things are all yours, if you want to continue to serve Dong Thief, then I promise, these knife and axe hands can make you scream for 7749 days and then die, and make you regret being born in this world." "As early as three months ago, Cao Cao's internal work had already determined that Wang Tian was Dong Zhuojun's spy who broke into the tiger and leopard cavalry, but Guo Jia felt that it might be useful to keep Wang Tian, so he persuaded Cao Cao to keep Wang Tian behind, and today, Wang Tian finally came to the right use.

Wang Tian looked at the jewelry and bamboo plaque in front of him, hesitated in his heart, Guo Jia said softly: "I know that the lives of your family members are in Dong Zhuo's hands, but if you recruit them, the king will arrange for you to die on the battlefield and give you a different identity, so that your family members will still have Dong thieves to eat and drink in Chang'an, and when the wind and waves are calm, you can return to Chang'an to take them to Qingzhou or other places, and you can reunite as a family." ”

Wang Tian still didn't speak, but his hands were already shaking, and his determination began to waver, Cao Cao saw that the time had come, and shouted: "Obsessed, come here, pull him to the torture room and entertain him." As soon as the knife and axe hand swarmed up, he set up Wang Tian and dragged him out, Wang Tian hurriedly shouted: "King, military advisor, villain recruit, villain recruits everything!" Guo Jia waved his hand to stop the knife and axe, Wang Tian knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "King, military advisor, please ask, the villain knows everything, and he has no end to his words." ”

"Say, what other accomplices do you have in the lone army? Who is the boss? "Cao Cao is most concerned about this, Dong Zhuojun's spies are pervasive, making any prince inevitably frightened.

"The villain doesn't know." Wang Tian replied honestly, seeing Cao Cao's face change color, Wang Tian hurriedly said: "Report to the king, there is a rule within the villain, you must not inquire about the name and task of the other party, who is the leader of King Kang's secret agent lurking in the king's army, the villain really doesn't know, the villain takes the task under the trough of the horse where the horse he rides every time, and puts the information under the corridor, and even what the boss looks like, the villain doesn't know." ”

"Treacherous Dong thief!" Cao Cao scolded and asked, "Then what are you doing in front of the city gate these days?" ”

"Return to the King." Wang Tianzhan replied tremblingly: "The villain received an order from above, let the villain monitor whether Yuan Shao is coming, and report the arrival and departure time of Yuan Shao's envoy. ”

"Good." Guo Jia immediately took out a quill pen and paper, "Hurry up and report Yuan Tan's arrival and departure time to your boss, and send it to the place where you handed in the information." Wang Tian didn't dare to resist, obediently wrote down the information, and left his own special secret note, sent the information to the corridor under the supervision of the knife and axeman, and was escorted back to the secret room, Guo Jia listened to the report of the knife and axe hand about Wang Tian is very well-behaved, nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you can take the things, what tasks you receive in the future, you must first report to me, and I will send someone to contact you secretly." ”

From the next day, Cao Cao's army, which had entered a state of full readiness, was even more vigilant, and at the same time, grain and grass weapons were transported from Dongjun in an endless stream, and every day there were scouts back and forth to explore the road from Puyang to Neihuang and Yangping, putting on a posture of preparing to attack the east of Jizhou, but in fact, Cao Cao's army secretly sent a small force of light cavalry to patrol the road from Puyang to Phoenix Mountain, and this series of actions of Cao Cao's army was sent to Yecheng and Jia Xu by Dong Zhuojun's Dark Moon Group lurking in Puyang......
