Chapter 148: Yuan Jun retreats
"Zhang He, you are the opinion of the horseman."
After the Wuchao was attacked, Yuan Shao's camp immediately became a mess.
In the big tent, Yuan Shao's generals and strategists quarreled, and Zhang He thought that Cao Cao would inevitably take away the main force even if he succeeded in sneaking up on Wuchao, and Cao Ying was empty at this time.
Feng Ji thought that this was Cao Cao's conspiracy, and if he wanted to lure Yuan's army to attack, there would inevitably be ambushes, and now he should send an army to Wuchao to check the situation.
The two sides couldn't hold each other, but Yuan Shao was furious at this time, seeing that he was about to break through Cao's army, and now this kind of thing is actually happening.
"Zhang He, Gao Lan, the two of you led 50,000 troops and went to attack the Cao army camp, Gao Gan and Zhu Ling, the two of you led 30,000 troops and went to Wuchao to check the details."
"Lord, now that our army is insufficient, if these people are damaged again, I am afraid that it will not be able to deter the Wuhuan cavalry, and when these people are not controlled, I am afraid that there will be big trouble."
Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao transferred 80,000 troops at once, and immediately stepped forward to speak.
But Yuan Shao also has no choice, now the attacked Wuchao has all their grain and grass, if it is really burned by the Cao army, and he can't defeat Cao Cao in a short time, then he will become the losing side.
Because of Yuan Shao's reckless military force, Yizhou and Youzhou have long been full of grievances, and they can only be suppressed by relying on their own military might, if they can't defeat Cao Cao, not to mention the places they have occupied, even Yizhou and Youzhou are difficult to protect.
After sending the army out, Yuan Shao sat in the tent alone and waited for news, the wine glasses in his hand were one after another, and he already had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Lord, Chun Yuqiong has been caught."
As he spoke, two guards came to Cao Cao with a man with his upper body exposed.
"Zhong Jian (Chun Yuqiong's character), we haven't seen each other for a long time."
This Chun Yuqiong was also one of the eight captains of Xiyuan at the beginning, and he was a colleague with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but later he took refuge in Yuan Shao and broke off contact with Cao Cao.
"Cao thief, you sneak attack at night, you are not a hero."
"Haha, doesn't Zhong Jian get tired of deceit?"
"Lord, what about these captives?"
A partial general came to ask what to do with the more than 1,000 soldiers captured with Chun Yuqiong.
"Hmph, cut off their noses and send them back to Yuan Shao together with Chun Yuqiong."
Just when Cao Cao explained how to deal with the prisoners, Chun Yuqiong also saw Xu You behind Cao Cao, and he immediately understood that this must be Xu Youxian's strategy.
Cao Cao also ignored Chun Yuqiong and Xu You's scolding, and began to arrange the arrangement to meet Yuan's army later, he knew that Yuan Shao would definitely send troops to the rescue.
"Ah~~~"
The screams behind him kept coming, and Cao Cao knew that it was his own soldiers cutting the noses of those captives.
"Return these people to Yuan Shao."
When the screams were over, Cao Cao was ready to leave, and he was going to personally meet Yuan Shao's reinforcements.
"Meng De, aren't you going to kill this Chun Yuqiong?"
"Chun Yuqiong is my old colleague, I will spare his life this time."
"You cut his nose now, and every time he looks in the mirror in the future, he will think of Meng De."
Hearing Xu Yu say this, Cao Cao immediately ordered Chun Yuqiong to be killed and the body returned.
He led his army to intercept reinforcements.
At this time, Zhang He and Gao Ran had also come to Cao's camp with their troops, but Cao Cao had already made arrangements when he left, and Zhang He and others could not attack for a long time, and they also lost their troops.
Gao Gan and others also did not go well, they were ambushed by Cao Cao, and were repelled many times, and finally could only retreat to the Yuan army camp in embarrassment.
But at least let Yuan Shao know that his black nest was indeed attacked by Cao Cao, and at the same time brought back Chun Yuqiong's body.
After learning that Wuchao was attacked, Yuan Shao fell into a trough and locked himself in the camp tent, no one was seen, and Yuan's military goods were taken over by Feng Ji.
Although he was entrusted with a heavy task, Feng Ji didn't think about how to stabilize the morale of the army, and his first thought was to get rid of Zhang He.
It turned out that Zhang He was regarded as a thorn in the side by Feng Ji as early as before last night's meeting, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were locked up one after another, and Yuan Shao was left in the rear, and there were only three people left in the front line: Guo Tu, Xu You, and Feng Ji.
Guo Tu himself was with Feng Ji, and he was left behind in those occupied cities to deal with things, so the front line was actually Feng Ji and Xu You.
And Xu Yu relied on himself to be Yuan Shao's friend, and often violated Yuan Shao's taboos, so Feng Ji has been looking for opportunities to establish his position in Yuan Shao's heart.
It seems that Cao Cao did send his main force this time, if Yuan Shao listened to Zhang He's words and attacked the Cao army camp with all his might, then Cao Shao would be homeless if he burned down the Wuchao granary, and the Yuan army could break Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and then occupy the three states under Cao Cao's command by fighting and raising war, and Yuan Shao would still be able to win.
However, it is already difficult to achieve victory now, and Feng Ji doesn't want Yuan Shao to know that it was his own judgment error that led to such a result, so he can only eradicate Zhang He and others.
It happened that Zhang He's attack was blocked, and Feng Ji immediately ordered someone to recruit Zhang He and Gao Ran to return to the camp, in fact, he was preparing to get rid of the two.
Zhang He and the two felt a little strange when they heard that Yuan Shao was going to summon the two of them alone, so they refused at that time because of the tight military situation, but they didn't expect Feng Ji to come again soon, and asked the two to hand over their military power.
At that time, Zhang He had doubts, and soon a partial general who had received Zhang He's favor came from the camp and quietly told Zhang He the truth, which made Zhang He very angry, and he wanted to lead his troops to surrender to Cao Cao in a fit of anger.
Although Gao Ran was loyal to Yuan Shao, he was also dissatisfied with Feng Ji's approach, especially since he also regarded himself as the person to be eliminated.
Soon the two decided to surrender to Cao Cao after discussion, and with the talents of the two, they actually saw that Yuan Shao was not the master, although Cao Cao's strength was still weaker than Yuan Shao, but he was decisive in killing, and he could be called the master, and Yuan Shao would be defeated by Cao Cao.
Just as Zhang He and the others were about to surrender to Cao Cao, the sound of the wine jar cracking kept coming from Yuan Shao's big tent, and it turned out that Yuan Shao was smashing things again to vent his anger.
A soldier walked out of the tent with a bloody face, and when he came out, he shook his head at Feng Ji and went to the military doctor to bandage it.
This person was called in by Feng Ji, he knew that Yuan's army had no food and it was difficult to fight again, so he was ready to persuade Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops, return to Jizhou first, and then try Cao Cao in the future.
Feng Ji has already thought about the next thing, Xu You has already surrendered to Cao, he is going to kill Fu Zhi on the way back to the army, and then let people send a letter back to Yecheng and kill Tian Feng, so that the only person Yuan Shao can trust is him Feng Ji.
But Yuan Shao has no intention of retreating now, but he also has no intention of continuing to attack, he just drinks in the tent every day, which makes Feng Ji a little helpless.
"Toot ~~~"
Suddenly, an alarm horn sounded among the Yuan army, and at this time, an enemy actually came to attack the camp.
Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was that the Wuhuan cavalry had rebelled, because now there were only a hundred thousand Han troops left in the Yuan army, only slightly higher than the Wuhuan cavalry, and they were very likely to be uncontrollable.
But soon Feng Ji vetoed this idea, and he had just talked to the Wuhuan chieftain, promising them a lot of benefits, and it was impossible for them to rebel now.
But obviously it can't be the Cao army, although Zhang He didn't follow the order to return to the camp, but his army is still between the two armies of Yuan and Cao, the Cao army is not many in number, how can they attack the camp now?
Feng Ji opened the curtain of the tent, Yuan Shao had already drunk too much, and had already fallen asleep after venting just now, ignoring the sound of the horn.
Feng Ji shook his head and led the rest of the generals towards the camp gate, he wanted to see who dared to attack the Yuan army camp now, was it really two or three hundred thousand people in the camp as decorations?
After Feng Ji and the others climbed the watchtower, they were surprised to find that there were more than 100,000 troops outside the camp, where did this come from.
However, Feng Ji quickly understood, the dense army was neatly arranged, coupled with their black armor, Feng Ji knew at once that this was the army under Qin Hua, and he didn't even need to look at the banner with the word "Qin" in white on a black background.
"It's not good, it's Qin Jun. How could they come out of nowhere. ”
Feng Ji had no fear before because although Cao Cao burned down the Wuchao camp, but Cao Jun did not have the strength to capture Yuan's army, so he could slowly think about retreating, but now there are suddenly more than 100,000 Qin troops, and Feng Ji panicked.
"Someone is coming, quickly send an envoy to inquire about the intention of King Qin."
When Qin Hua was named the king of Qin, he also knew that Feng Ji knew that this must be a ploy set up by Cao Cao's side, Qin Hua should be burdened by this title at this time, and he didn't dare to send troops at all, but he didn't expect him to come.
