Cao Xing and Cao Cao's battle, the final outcome is that Cao Cao occupied the entire Chaoge, but Cao Cao also because of the sudden death of his father Cao Song, and could not completely occupy Chaoge, at this moment Cao Cao has led his troops to Xuzhou, and Cao Xing also took advantage of this opportunity to use Jinyiwei as an ambush, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses arranged in Chaoge were caught by surprise, and even let Cao Xuan catch a very good talent.

Cao Cao is now also leading the army to Xuzhou, Cao Xing's side can be said to be fully relieved of the crisis, but Cao Xing does not plan to return to his Shangtang, and live a few comfortable days with peace of mind, Cao Xing still has revenge.

This battle seems to be only between Cao Cao and Cao Xing, but Cao Xuan knows that it is none other than Yuan Shao who provoked this war.

Yuan Shao wanted to isolate Cao Xing, so he said that Cao Cao came to fight Cao Xing, and now that Cao Cao is gone, then Cao Xing should also harass this Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao is now the strongest prince in the world, and it can even be said that he is not one of them, and he has occupied the entire Jizhou and Qingzhou and half of Youzhou, but it is precisely because Yuan Shao's power is getting stronger and stronger that Cao Xing can't do anything.

In just a few days, Cao Xuan led an army of 20,000 to Zhao County, with Cao Xuan sitting in the rear, Xu Shu leading the troops in front, directly against Yuan Shao's army who was exercising outside, launched a sudden attack, and caught Yan Liangwen Chou, who was training, off guard.

But soon the battle report here also reached Yuan Shao's ears, and after Yuan Shao heard it, it was said that he was very angry and scolded Cao Xing for what kind of thing, he didn't go to Cao Xing in person, Cao Xing even dared to come to him for trouble, since this is the case, don't blame him for being polite.

Therefore, Yuan Shao did not listen to the persuasion of Tian Feng and others, and personally led the army, regardless of his rule, there were still many places that had not stabilized, and he was ready to attack Zhao County.

Yuan Shao personally led more than 50,000 people this time, plus Yan Liangwen Chou, more than 30,000 people who were training, and nearly 90,000 troops, drove towards Zhao County, and at this moment, the total number of defenders in Zhao County was only more than 50,000.

In the face of the mighty Yuan Shao's army, Cao Xuan adopted the strategy of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and I marching.

Seeing that Cao Xuan didn't dare to have a real duel on the plain, Yuan Shao thought that Cao Xing was afraid of him this time, so he didn't hesitate, and directly took his army to prepare to launch a crazy attack on Zhao County, Zhao County was originally under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and that time was more than Cao Xing, and at this moment Yuan Shao was still angry, in his opinion, it was simply a shame, a great shame. So he must be ashamed this time.

Yuan Shao even personally ascended to the battlefield to command, watching the mighty army rush towards Zhao Jun like a tide, Yuan Shao let his soldiers beat drums loudly in the back, he wanted to make Cao Xuan feel terrified.

Yuan Shao was full of confidence, and his military appearance was also immense, but after fighting for an hour, Yuan Shao's arrogance on their side gradually became more and more sluggish.

And in this hour's time, Yuan Shao's face changed very excitingly, from the excitement at the beginning, there was some unhappiness in changing lanes, from some unhappiness to some panic, and then from some panic, to the last thunderstorm.

What kind of bullshit battle is this, Yuan Shao scolded in his heart, their side obviously has an absolute advantage, but Cao Xing has never been able to close the city.

Now Cao Xing is standing at the head of the city, holding a bow and arrows, commanding his archers to keep shooting arrows outward.

Cao Xing's tens of thousands of archers, not to mention that all of them have been trained by Cao Xing, but Cao Xing has formulated a strict training plan for each of them. Therefore, each of them is a skilled archeryman, plus the bows and arrows in their hands, unlike ordinary bows and arrows, the longest range has reached a full two hundred and fifty steps, so when Yuan Shao's army just advanced to two hundred and fifty steps, they were harassed by random arrows.

If it is said that there is only the harassment of these arrows, then Yuan Shaojun still has a way, directly take out the giant shield, let a few soldiers carry huge shields, and slowly advance in front, which is also a good way.

However, Cao Xing looked at Yuan Shao and the others, and after taking out the giant shield soldiers, he also sneered, and directly waved his hand, and hundreds of trebuchets appeared on the city tower, and these trebuchets were all filled with huge stones.

This scene scared Yuan Shao's soldiers into a daze, in fact, the trebuchet is basically used for siege, but even when conquering the city, the casualties of the trebuchet to the soldiers are limited, after all, the stones on it are so large that as long as the soldiers who are attacked are not blind, they can basically predict the location where these stones will hit.

Therefore, the trebuchet has limited lethality, and it is more likely to make that loud roar, which makes these soldiers frightened and demoralized.

However, in this battle, the trebuchet once again played another role, that is, huge stones smashed to the ground, directly blocking the way of the soldiers behind.

Yuan Shao's soldiers could only move the stones with difficulty in the end, and then move forward again, but it also took a lot of strength and time to move the stones, in this time, who will protect these soldiers who move stones, these soldiers who move stones, it is very likely that they will be pierced through the chest by sharp arrows.

After all, Cao Xuan directly took out the bed crossbow in the back, and what the bed crossbow shot out could be said to be a spear, which pierced the chests of three or four soldiers at one time, and there was no problem at all.

So Yuan Shao's soldiers were menacing at first glance, but when they hit the back and front, they were all blocked by the stones, and the soldiers under Yuan Shao were either moving stones, or hiding directly behind the stones, and did not dare to advance, so until now, Yuan Shao's soldiers did not even face the city wall, at most they rushed to the bottom of the city fifty steps, and as a result, they were all shot to death by the bow and crossbow, which is a very strong thing.

Yuan Shao, who was in a hurry, shouted directly to Zhang Hewen Chou and other generals who were commanding: "Order the soldiers to continue to charge forward, I will enter Zhao County no matter what today!" ”

When Wen Chou and other generals heard this, they also felt helpless, and the order they received was only to train soldiers and horses here, so they did not bring large siege weapons, and Yuan Shao only brought some simple weapons when he came to the army, and there was no siege weapon like trebuchet.

So when they saw such a situation on the battlefield, they also felt a tingling of their scalps, but Yuan Shao also ordered them not to retreat at this moment, didn't they go up to give people their heads in vain?

Seeing that the casualties were getting heavier and heavier, Tian Feng and even Xu Yu were finally frustrated and rushed to the battlefield together, and directly said to Yuan Shao, this battle can no longer be fought, and fighting will only lead to more and more casualties.

Listening to the heavy words of these strategists, Yuan Shao only felt that these strategists were not saying that he Yuan Shao would not fight, you must know that when he Yuan Shao fought this battle, he was full of confidence, but now he was slapped in the face by reality.

Forget it if you are slapped in the face by Cao Xing, the key is that when you are slapped in the face again, these strategists not only expressed their dissupport, but even spoke out against it, which gives Yuan Shao the feeling that Cao Xing doesn't give him face, the key is that these first-class strategists under him don't give him face, he Yuan Shao was born in a famous family, and now he is also a big member, what kind of jokes do these people make, don't give him Yuan Shao face, is it because he is tired of life?

But Yuan Shao is not a fool, he must not say these words to his face, in the end Yuan Shao can only nod his head with an ugly face, watching Yuan Shao's army retreat again like a tide, Cao Xing's army is rejoicing, they suffered less than 1,000 casualties in this battle, but they killed and injured nearly 10,000 Yuan Shao's army, which can be described as a complete victory.

Cao Xuan was also standing on top of the city, touching his chin and looking at Yuan Shao who was retreating below, and soon after, the corners of Cao Xing's mouth pulled up a sneer.

Yuan Shao had always taken the initiative to attack Cao Xing, and now that Yuan Shao had lost, how could he leave if he wanted to, when Yuan Shao's army completely retreated, only two days later, Cao Xing rested his army, and then ordered his army to charge directly.

However, Cao Xing's attack did not directly hit Yuan Shao's city, but sent a large army to camp outside the city first, and then sent two sergeants to scold the formation.

Something like the scolding array is also very common in the history of warfare in ancient times, that is, two soldiers go to other people's barracks and constantly insult the commander of the other party's command, and once the other party's commander is angry, he will lead his troops to attack.

Cao Xing also figured it out, this Yuan Shao was born after a famous family, what is the most important, it is naturally his personal face is the most important, so Cao Xing also specially trained these soldiers before letting them scold.

Anyway, the content of the training is to pick on Yuan Shao's ugly things to scold, for example, Cao Xing knows that Yuan Shao once robbed other people's brides when he was young, Cao Xing grasped this topic and constantly scolded Yuan Shao for his despicable conduct.

Even Cao Xing went outside this time to invite Confucian students, these Confucian students scolded more fiercely, although there were no dirty words, but directly scolded Yuan Shao a bloody head, if these things are written down, I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 words, at this moment, Yuan Shao, finally can no longer bear these scolding, and directly lead the troops to attack.

Yan Liangwen and Chou were generals, and they went out of the city quickly with 20,000 cavalry.

When Xu Shu saw Yan Liangwen and Chou rushing out, he did not hesitate in his residence, and directly turned the horse's head and commanded the soldiers to retreat quickly.

Seeing that Xu Shu didn't fight, he retreated directly, where were Yan Liangwen and Chou willing to let go, it must be the pursuit of the mission, but they didn't chase far, and suddenly countless archers appeared from both sides of the woods, and countless sharp arrows roared.

Archers and cavalry, this is a common sense, in the face of arrows in the sky, the knight on the horse, not only to defend his body, but also to stabilize the horse under the crotch, so this arrow caused great inconvenience to the knight on the horse.

In just three rounds of arrows, countless knights landed below, either shot into a sieve by these arrows, or trampled into a pulp by other people's horses.

Seeing that he was obviously ambushed, Yan Liangwen was a scoundrel, so he could only let his soldiers retreat, just like that, Yan Liangwen Chou could be said to have returned in vain.

Faced with this kind of ending, Yuan Shao was angry, but he still held back. However, the thing that gave him a headache was still to come, and Yan Liangwen Chou led the troops back, so Cao Xing took the soldiers and horses and came to the range of Yecheng again, and began to scold him Yuan Shao again.

Yuan Shao's mentality is not good, Cao Xing scolded like this, he immediately exploded, sent troops again, and was ambushed by Cao Xing, calculated, from the beginning of this battle, the loss of Cao Xing's side may only be more than 3,000 people, but Yuan Shao's side has lost nearly 20,000 people.

Yuan Shao can be said to have suffered a big loss, but at this time, Tian Feng once again admonished Yuan Shao that this war could not be fought.

Yuan Shao asked the two of them if there was any way to quickly defeat Cao Xing, and he didn't want to be entangled with Cao Xing anymore, Cao Xing's rogue style of play gave him a headache.

It's just that he was frustrated with Tian Feng's suggestion, but it made Yuan Shao a little unhappy. Fu Zhu and Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao that now like Youzhou, Qingzhou, and the two prefectures and counties have just been taken, and the situation inside is still quite unstable, Yuan Shao should not focus on the military at this moment, but should focus on appeasing the people and resuming production.

At this moment, starting a war with Cao Xing can only be regarded as a loss of labor and money, and it will only cause an invisible blow to Yuan Shao's forces, of course, for Cao Xing, there is a blow, but it is not big, because Cao Xing's annexation is very stable.

Therefore, Yuan Shao can be regarded as having understood, and the advice of these two strategists under him is very simple, that is, to talk about peace like Cao Xing.

As soon as he heard this suggestion, Yuan Shao's face was very ugly, and it happened that some strategists stood up and said, what to talk about with him Cao Xing, he Cao Xuan is just a man, where can he have this qualification?

Although Yuan Shao agreed with this statement in his heart, but the facts were in front of him, since he didn't talk about it, why not continue to fight, after several battles, they were all defeated. So in the end, even if Yuan Shao has a lot of anger in his heart, in the face of this situation, he may have only one choice in the end. That is to negotiate with Cao Xing.

Yuan Shao finally sent Tian Feng to find Cao Xing, and Cao Xing's final attitude was also a nod.

Because Cao Xing knew that this war was his Cao Xing's war and achieved a partial victory, but Yuan Shao's strength was strong, and Cao Xing couldn't conquer it at all, if it went on, it would just be an endless continuous war. It won't be good for either side.
