Chapter 394: The Black Nest
Xu You was here to persuade bitterly, but many of Yuan Shao's strategists kept arguing there for one reason or another, as if they thought that the reason why Xu You said this was entirely because there was some ulterior conspiracy in it, so they must discuss it carefully, and they couldn't fall for Cao Cao's tricks.
However, Xu You was furious when he saw this. was so angry that he slapped the table directly, in his opinion, these so-called strategists and generals are all birdmen, such a good time to attack is not wanted, but they are still arguing here, it is simply a violent thing, a relic fighter, if it is a crime, it should be beheaded.
However, Xu You's somewhat radical behavior, in Yuan Shao's eyes, caused Yuan Shao's unhappiness, he Yuan Shao himself is still here, but Xu You dares to slap the table, is he not there?
So he also smiled and said: "Ziyuan, I know that you have old friends with Cao Cao, and you also know a lot about Cao Cao, but you must also know that Cao Cao is treacherous, and now our army has forced him into a corner, and he has no chance of surviving. ”
When Yuan Shao's words came out of his mouth, Xu Yu stood in place and couldn't say a word.
In the final analysis, there is only one key point in Yuan Shao's sentence, that is, he Xu You and Cao Cao are old friends. The collusion between his subordinates and the enemy country is something that every monarch is quite afraid of, especially a monarch like Yuan Shao who cares about reputation, which is even more important.
He would never allow his subordinates to have a little disagreement with him, and the desire to control was extremely strong, and the reason why Yuan Shao said this was at least to show Yuan Shao's distrust of him and his unease.
Looking at the other strategists, who were still talking to each other at the moment, the look on their faces was overjoyed, Xu You saw this, and finally sighed helplessly, since Yuan Shao didn't want to listen more, he couldn't say more, so he silently walked out of the army commander.
Perhaps the only person who has sympathy for this is only one frustrated professor, frustrated with his eyes flickering, he doesn't know what to say about Xu Yu's strategy, and he can't judge whether it's good or bad, because there are both possibilities.
Maybe it's Cao Cao's military rations, or maybe it's a conspiracy set up by Cao Cao, because the information he has is limited, so he can't make a conclusion right away, but he understands one thing very well.
Today's Cao Cao is like the end of a strong crossbow, not to mention finding a way out for himself, but Cao Cao must also have a desire to survive, driven by the desire to survive, Cao Cao will actually take action, this letter is not good is Cao Cao's action, no matter what the situation is. Cao Cao would definitely fight hard, but Yuan Shao turned a deaf ear to Xu You's words and did not take any preparations.
This is completely a move to find a fight, but even so, Fu Zhu doesn't know what to say, now Yuan Shao has a great advantage, singing and dancing there every day, completely ignoring the military, Fu Zhu can even guess that if he doesn't say these words at the right time, it will definitely cause Yuan Shao's disgust. So in the end, the frustrated words came to his lips and turned into a long sigh.
The soldiers of Zhao did not change much in their combat deployment, and they still advanced a little bit every day, and when they learned the news, Cao Cao of Wei couldn't sit still, and spent a whole day pacing back and forth in the camp. And the strategist generals under him didn't go anywhere, except for the generals who defended on the front line, all the others had arrived, as if they were facing a great enemy.
I know best about my own family affairs, what is the situation of Cao Cao's army, everyone here knows best, but even if Cao Cao has been smiling and encouraging everyone on the subject, but the effect is very few, and even the lowly people are already muttering in their hearts. In a few days, the Zhao army will be able to completely break through the guards, and then where should they go, and how should they defect to the Zhao state, so that Yuan Shao can accept it with peace of mind.
In this way, everyone has their own thoughts, but in the midst of everyone's thoughts, suddenly the curtain of the handsome man was opened, and a young man hurriedly walked into it, and when Cao Cao saw the arrival of this young man, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked up.
"Bonghyo, how is it!"
And Guo Jia's eyes were also extremely excited at this moment, he nodded solemnly to Cao Cao, and then walked to the map and only hit one position.
"Everyone, everything will be done or broken in one fell swoop!"
Everyone looked in the direction of Guo Jia's finger, and some people didn't know, so because Guo Jia pointed to a strange place, that is, the black nest.
Some of the advisors raised their own questions, but Guo Jia smiled slightly, and he directly told the generals that Wuchao was the place where Yuan Shao's military rations were piled up, and he heard that many people here roughly understood.
When Xiang Xun Yu Cheng Yu and other advisers heard Guo Jia's words, they slowly deduced in their hearts that in fact, the place where Yuan Shao accumulated grain was constantly moving forward with the war.
When the war began, Yuan Shao's military grain land was completely in the territory of Zhao State, even if the Wei army had an army like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it was impossible to suddenly attack there, but with the advance of the war, Yuan Shao marched forward, so Yuan Shao's courage also increased, and gradually accumulated military grain and grass to the front.
In fact, if the grain and grass are piled up in the front, there are also many advantages, such as the convenience of transporting grain, the army can get supplies in time, and so on.
However, because the war has always been good for Zhao State, perhaps Yuan Shao also relaxed his guard a little, and now the place of Wuchao is located a hundred miles behind the front line, although the Wei army cannot directly fight there, but it is still possible to send cavalry to drive straight in.
However, some people also raised questions to Guo Jia, Guo Jia's ghost shadow position, hidden for a year, and engaged in it for a long time just to find this black nest, it is inevitable that there is a little fuss, besides, even if they know Yuan Shao's military food place, although they all know Guo Jia's strategy, it must be to seize grain and grass for their own use, but this grain is what you say.
Because that place belongs to the place where grain is stored, it must be guarded by the heavy troops of Zhao State, if you can't defeat those soldiers, you can only stare dryly in the end.
However, hearing this, Cao Cao touched his beard and let out a series of laughs, the soldiers made dangerous moves, he Yuan Shao was already powerful, Cao Cao was already in a weak position, if he wanted to turn defeat into victory, the only way to win was to win.
"Success or failure is here, just tonight, I, Cao Cao, will personally lead the army to drive straight into the black nest, please go back and prepare!"
Cao Cao's words, coupled with his actions, were enough to be a bold move, and many generals were excited after hearing it. And this time it was Cao Cao who personally raided, so many people didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed what Cao Cao said.
When everyone was completely gone, only Guo Jia and Cao Cao were left in this tent. Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, clasped his fists and said: "Lord, tonight's raid, you still don't have to risk yourself, I, Guo Jia, am willing to be in the army, after all, this strategy was made by me Guo Fengxiao, and I have the responsibility to travel!" ”
However, Cao Cao smiled after hearing this, and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "Fengxiao, I know that you have a lot of credit, but you are not in good health or stay in the clouds, rest assured, this assault will definitely not disappoint you and me!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he looked at Cao Cao with gratitude in his eyes, because Guo Jia's strategy came too quickly, so many people only saw the superficial phenomenon, but did not see the actual phenomenon.
For more than a year, Guo Jia's super-heavy handwriting has been everywhere, and Guo Jia's letter of discord did not make Xu You and Yuan Shao turn their faces, in fact, this was also expected by Guo Jia.
However, Guo Jia's letter of discord successfully caused a gap in the hearts of the two people, as long as there is a barrier, the rest of the things will be easy to do.
For more than a year, Xu You's intelligence troops have been dispatched to continuously collect intelligence for the country and seek opportunities for Zhao Guo, but on the other hand, the ghost pawn has disappeared under the leadership of Guo Jia, and even some people have wondered if this Guo Jia is cowardly in the past, why he talked about it before, and now he can't even let out a fart.
However, what these people don't know is that Guo Jia is planning step by step, and the outcome of this battle will be separated, and if he continues to fight slowly like this, Cao Cao will undoubtedly be defeated, so he can only make dangerous moves, for more than a year, Guo Jia has been studying this Jia Xu and Yuan Shao, Guo Jia feels that if he wants to defeat Zhao Guo, these two people are the most critical factors.
Therefore, when Xu You intercepted the secret letter, but Yuan Shao did not raid, Guo Jia knew that his opportunity had come, so there was today's scene, so it can be said that Guo Jia contributed to everything today.
That night. Cao Cao traveled lightly and quickly with more than 10,000 cavalry to the north, the speed of the cavalry was so fast, and Cao Cao and they were rushing with all their strength this time, completely ignoring the obstacles ahead.
Perhaps for a long time, there was no war at night, which had become the concept of the soldiers of the two countries, so in the middle of the night, Yuan Shao's army did not fortify Cao Cao, and was caught off guard by Cao Cao for a while, and easily broke through his defense line.
Cao Cao drove straight in with the army commander, and the soldiers who were broken through were all a little embarrassed at the moment, and some people hurriedly rushed to the military camp in front, ready to inform Yuan Shao of the matter.
Of course, Yuan Shao has a whole army of more than 100,000 in his hands, and Cao Cao can not have anything like entering a no-man's land with only these 10,000 iron horses, killing seven in and seven out, Cao Cao will either win or die in this trip.
However, the army of others Yuan Shao is not a decoration, Cao Cao encountered countless obstacles along the way, for example, when Cao Cao was just halfway through the march, he suddenly jumped out of Yuan Shao's army.
"Cao thief is leaving, I am the general Han Meng, come and fight me to the death!"
This Han Meng is undoubtedly Yuan Shao's general, although his reputation is not as ugly as Yan Liangwen, but he might as well let it go.
Cao Cao had no choice but to shout, and let Xu Chu Dianwei beside him go to support Han Meng, Han Meng seemed to have guessed Cao Cao's intention, which was to pass through his blockade line, so he refused to let his soldiers rush up, and Cao Cao must not be allowed to leave here.
Cao Cao seemed to be trapped here, but at this critical juncture, among Cao Cao's 10,000 horses, there was suddenly a cavalry team, which came and went like the wind to kill the enemy very bravely, only to see a young general running in front of Cao Cao alone and saying to Cao Cao.
"King Wei, the Wuchao is ahead, please boost your morale and let us break through in one go!"
Seeing that the general's face was covered with blood, obviously after a hard fight, Cao Cao took a look with the help of the moonlight, and this person was none other than Zhang Liao, who had taken refuge in Cao Cao a few years ago.
Zhang Liao also seemed to know that he was a general, so after coming to Cao Cao's military camp, he never said much and was low-key, just doing things, but when Cao Cao forgot to glance at the thousands of cavalry behind Zhang Liao, he suddenly laughed, and then raised his light steel sword and shouted in a deep voice.
"Success or failure is here, in the name of King Wei, I hereby assure you, the one who breaks the black nest will have 30,000 accounts!"
I heard that this is just a short sentence, but it represents endless wealth and glorious honor, and the soldiers behind Zhang Liao all shouted in unison.
"Wenyuan, go ahead, I believe in you!"
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao and said such a sentence, Zhang Liao was a little stunned after hearing it, he looked at Cao Cao with some incredulity, didn't Cao Cao go with him? You must know that Cao Cao is the soul of this army, but Cao Cao waved his hand absently, he explained that only he was here to attract Yuan Shao's attention, and believed that Yuan Shao's army would not be long before it arrived, and he hoped that Zhang Liao would travel lightly and go straight to the black nest.
Zhang Liao was moved in his heart when he heard this, hugged his fists heavily, and then took the three thousand cloud soldiers under his command to attack the black nest.
Although Zhang Liao still encountered many obstacles from the Zhao army along the way, Zhang Liao could not charge away by the number of soldiers alone, so Zhang Liao personally took the lead, holding the order flag in one hand and the spear in the other, ordering the soldiers to change constantly, and with him charging under the command of Zhang Liao, his soldiers began to become strange and changeable, like a ghost in the night, directly shuttling among the enemy army.
Only a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Liao was out of the encirclement, Zhang Liao wiped the blood on his face, shouted, and directly led the soldiers to kill the black nest, and at this moment, the black nest finally got the news.
However, the movement inside the black nest did not seem to be very big, and it was not until Zhang Liao led the troops to appear in the black nest that the soldiers of the black nest hurriedly raised their weapons to meet the enemy.
