Chapter 97: The Dead Soldier and the Tiger and Leopard Rider
When the news that Wen Chou was beheaded, the 70,000 army was defeated, and the 50,000 troops were defeated, Yuan Shaogang left Jizhou City with the main army of 300,000 Hebei.
He was shocked: "What, Wen Chou was also beheaded?" ”
also lost 50,000 troops, if you count the 50,000 troops lost by the defeat of Yan Liang in front of him, he has lost two generals and 100,000 troops. Originally, an army of 500,000 was planned to take Cao Cao, but now there are only 400,000 left.
After the horror, Yuan Shao was furious again!
When he came to Liyang County, Liu Bei also returned here with the defeated army, and Yuan Shao immediately accused Liu Bei: "Liu Bei, why did you divide your troops with Wen Chou, causing Wen Chou to be defeated and die?" ”
This is to blame Liu Bei for breaking away from Wen Chou, and also taking away Wen Chou's 30,000 army, which led to the weakening of Wen Chou's strength and his defeat.
As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, someone immediately came out and shouted: "Lord, please behead Liu Bei!" ”
Liu Bei was very congested, he just felt that there was really no future for following Yuan Shao, and he didn't pay attention to Yuan Shao, Wen Chou was beheaded and blamed on him, so he had to explain: "Ming Gong, General Wen is a challenge to be beheaded, and he has to be prepared, and if he loses General Wen, the soldiers are in turmoil, even if General Wen brings enough 100,000 soldiers, it will be like the defeat of General Yan Liang before, Cao Cao wanted to annihilate the soldiers led by General Wen Chou, but he was prepared to fight to the death to fight the side attack, and he rescued some of the soldiers, what is the best preparation?" Please also be aware of it. ”
Yuan Shao sighed and calmed down, he also knew that Liu Bei was not to blame for Wen Chou's beheading, so he appeased Liu Bei for a few words.
Next, it is to discuss whether to continue to enter the military crossing.
Almost all of the generals suggested continuing to march on the grounds that it was impossible to be frightened and to avenge the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou. There are a few suggestions from the strategists to withdraw from the army, but most of them also recommend continuing to march into the army, as Yan Liang said when he was beheaded, there was no turning back arrow when he opened the bow, countless grains and grass were transported to the front line, and the army was also sworn in Jizhou City, only two generals were lost, and the main force withdrew before a battle, which was too cowardly and would be laughed at by the world.
Just when Yuan Shao hesitated, Tian Feng, who was in prison in Jizhou City, heard that Wen Chou was defeated and begged for someone to send a letter to Yuan Shao, begging Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army.
Now it's okay, Yuan Shao was still a little hesitant, but as soon as Tian Feng's Cambodian letter written in prison came, Yuan Shao immediately decided to continue to march into the army.
Liu Bei thought that the time had come for him to leave, and he took the opportunity to say to Yuan Shao: "Liu Jingsheng guards the nine counties of Jingxiang, the soldiers are full of food, and he wants to go south to Jingzhou, so he persuaded Liu Jingsheng to send troops to attack Cao thieves from the south for the Ming Duke. ”
Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Bei, shook his head and said, "I also tried to invite Liu Jingsheng to send troops, but I didn't allow it. ”
Liu Bei said confidently: "Liu Jingsheng and Bei are both relatives of the Han family, and if you say it, he will not be hindered." It's just that he has to pass through the realm of Cao thieves all the way, and I implore Ming Gong to allocate five hundred troops and horses to protect them along the way. ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, if Liu Bei could really persuade Liu Biao to send troops, Cao Cao would definitely be defeated, so he said: "As long as you can convince Liu Biao, I will allocate you 5,000 troops and horses!" ”
Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised, but it was not obvious on his face, and he only promised again and again that he would be able to convince Liu Biao.
After getting Yuan Shao's 5,000 military horses, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai and others quickly followed lightly, left Yuan Shao's army, and secretly went south to Jingzhou all the way around Qingzhou.
After Yuan Shao gathered Liyang's soldiers and horses, there were 400,000 troops.
Although the front turned two defeats in a row, losing 100,000 soldiers of the two generals, Cao Cao also lost more than 30,000 troops, at this time Cao Cao did not even have 200,000 troops in Guandu, Yuan Shao was still more than twice as much as Cao Cao, and his strength was far superior to Cao Cao, so Yuan Shao was still very confident in winning the battle of Guandu.
Cao Cao still has 170,000 troops left, and nearly 600,000 troops on both sides are facing each other, and the company camp is dozens of miles, which is extremely spectacular.
Cao Cao led the army out of the camp and shouted with Yuan Shao.
Speaking of which, the two of them have not seen each other for seven years since the original princes of the Nineteenth Road attacked Dong, and both of them have developed into the top two princes in the world.
Cao Cao accused Yuan Shaodao: "Yuan Benchu, I will promote you as a general in front of Your Majesty, the governor of Ji, You, He, Qing, and the four states, you are not grateful, leading the army to rebel and attack me!" National thieves too! ”
Yuan Shao smiled disdainfully, and accused Cao Cao and said: "Cao Mengde, you are a Han minister on the surface, but you are actually a Han thief!" The crime is monstrous, even worse than Dong Zhuo and others, but he accused me of rebellion, saying that I am a national thief, and you are a national thief! ”
Cao Cao's face was indifferent, and he took out an edict: "I am now an edict to beg for thieves, and the Son of Heaven said that you Yuan Shao is a national thief!" "Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, there is an edict from the Son of Heaven, he said that Yuan Shao is a national thief, and Yuan Shao is a national thief.
"Hahahaha!" Yuan Shao laughed and took out the edict of the belt: "I also beg the thief with the edict of the belt, it is you Cao thief!" ”
With the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao is a veritable national thief!
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and hated Emperor Han Xian, he didn't do a good puppet, he actually made the edict behind his back, and let Yuan Shao get it in his hands.
"Xiahoudun!" Cao Cao angrily ordered Xiahoudun to fight.
The one-eyed Xiahoudun led the order to fly out.
"Zhang He!" Yuan Shao also ordered Zhang He to fight.
Xiahoudun's martial arts skills are quite high, but Zhang He has not lost the wind in forty or fifty rounds of battles with him.
"Gao Yan!" Yuan Shao ordered Gao Ran to attack again.
"Xu Chu!" Of course, Cao Cao couldn't let Xiahoudun be attacked by Zhang He and Gao Lan, so he immediately ordered Xu Chu to help Xiahoudun.
The four generals fought against each other, although Xu Chu's martial arts were higher than Gao Lan's, but he had just started thirty or forty rounds, and Gao Ran did not fall into the upper hand, but over there Zhang He and Xiahoudun fought for seventy or eighty rounds, and began to show defeat.
"Crossbowmen come forward and shoot Cao Bing!" Yuan Shao ordered.
Since Yan Liang and Wen Chou were beheaded one after another, Yuan Shao has completely dispelled the spirit of only relying on the wrong enemy, and he wants to give full play to his advantage in strength. Liang He Cao Cao is a powerful general, and it is difficult to reverse the absolute disadvantage in troops.
Three thousand crossbowmen, escorted by sword and shield men, stepped forward and shot arrows at Cao's army.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Woohoo!" Dense arrows were fired at the Cao army, and many Cao soldiers were hit by arrows.
"Shoot the arrows!" Cao Jun's side also used sword and shield hands to protect the crossbowmen and shoot back with arrows.
There were many casualties on both sides, and this was only the beginning of the big war.
On the left flank of Yuan Shao's army, an elite attack of 8,000 people with extremely well-equipped equipment, this is Yuan Shao's most elite 7,000 first-class soldiers, and it is an absolute elite from Yuan Shao's 700,000-strong army.
As soon as the first deceased soldier came out, he immediately killed the former soldiers of the Cao army on their backs and collapsed.
"Tiger and Leopard Ride!" Cao Cao also sent an elite 'tiger and leopard cavalry' formed by himself to attack.
