Chapter 104: The Battle of Guandu (3)
There was a lot of grain and grass piled up, but the rations of the 50,000 army were 30,000 stones!
The grain bags were wantonly thrown on the road, and a large number of Yuan troops pursued the grain and grass, "Who allows you to wait for the army to stop, quickly follow this general to destroy Cao Cao!" Wen Chou roared angrily.
But Yuan Jun abandoned Bingge.
"Grab the grain and grass!"
"It's developed, it's all meat!"
"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"
Cao Cao waved the long sword in his hand, "All the generals will fight with me!" ”
Light cavalry attack, swift and violent, if the white sun out of the storm, "the enemy is coming, quickly meet it!" Wen Chou roared angrily, and Cao Cao's army approached.
Dian Wei took the lead, and Cao Cao followed, fighting wantonly among the enemy army, and blood stained the grain and grass.
"Retreat! Fall back! ”
Yuan Jun fled in embarrassment, unable to fight back at all, and Wen Chou had no choice but to order a retreat!
"Kill!" Dian Wei roared angrily, clamped the horse with his legs, and wanted to pursue directly, but Xun You said eagerly, "The general can't pursue, come back!" ”
Dian Wei didn't seem to hear it, and still pursued it single-handedly, Cao Cao's face changed, and he hurriedly rode a horse to catch up!
"Dian Wei is back!" Cao Cao shouted, and after Dian Wei heard Cao Cao's voice, he had to hold the horse stupidly, turn the horse's head and turn back.
Yuan Shao looked at the soldiers who came on horseback, "Report, General Wen Chou was in the front of the plan, and was broken by Cao Cao, and now he has retreated back!" ”
Yuan Shao's face was cloudy, he didn't want to speak at all, he suffered big losses one after another, if he pursued again, I am afraid that there would be a problem with his brain!
"Pass my order, and the whole army will return to the camp!"
The camp of Cao Cao, a white horse.
"Generals, I, Cao Cao, have your help, and I can extinguish Yuan Shao's arrogance today!" Cao Cao said impassionedly, "Among them, Xun Junshi has repeatedly offered me miraculous strategies, and he should be the first to make today's contributions!" ”
"Today, I, Cao Cao, will replace wine with water, and I salute the generals!"
"The lord will win, the lord will win!"
Cao Cao raised his hand slightly, and the shouts of the generals immediately stopped.
"Yuan Shao has an army of 200,000 troops, and today's actions are just his light enemy, after this battle, Yuan Shao is bound to be more cautious, and will not move troops easily, and he will return to his duties after today's reward." Cao Cao shouted, "Can you go to the end with me Cao Cao!" ”
"Swear to accompany the lord to the death!"
"Swear to accompany the lord to the death!"
Xiangyang Zhou Yu Mansion.
"Master, master, the official war!"
"Bring it up!"
"Why is Zhou Lang so concerned about the battle in Guandu, I haven't seen you close your eyes in recent days."
"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."
Zhou Yu opened the letter, and the more he read it, the worse his face became.
Guandu is a war that the princes of the world pay attention to, and every move that takes place must be watched at all times.
Cao Cao defeated Yuan's army of 40,000 soldiers and horses on the White Horse, not including the disabled.
This time gave Yuan Shao a major rout!
Zhou Yu put the letter aside and couldn't help muttering, it's not a blessing for our army!
The rest of the princes from all over the country, when they learned of this, decided that Yuan Shao's victory was a little shaken for the first time, could it be that Cao Cao really had a little chance of winning? !
Yuan Shao's camp.
Xu You moved his body, feeling that his body had improved, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable.
"Xu You, the lord is invited!"
"Although I'm recuperating from my injuries, I'm also a prisoner, how can you call me by my name?!"
"What so much nonsense, take it away!"
Yuan Shao's battalion, strategists and generals have all been dismissed, and after suffering such a big loss, Yuan Shao didn't know how to vent at all, so he had to find someone to make this conspiracy!
Xu You was escorted into Yuan Shao's camp by the soldiers, Yuan Shao's eyebrows were angry, but he sat on the handsome platform and never spoke!
Xu You patted his shirt, "The lord treats me with such a generous courtesy, you are really flattered, I don't know what the lord is looking for?!" ”
"Are you guilty?!"
"You have been sick in bed for some time, and you have never left your camp, I don't know what crime you have turned?!"
Yuan Shao's face was hateful, and he immediately opened his mouth and shouted, "The strategy you made for me caused me to lose 40,000 soldiers, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?!" ”
Xu Yu said humbly: "Lord, you once said that you can fight against Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao is overwhelmed, you can send strange soldiers to attack Xuchang, so that Cao Cao can't respond, and the lord has never fought with Cao Cao head-on, but directly sent strange soldiers to go, how can he not be recognized?" ”
Yuan Shao snorted, and then laughed, "Xu Yu according to what you said, is this wrong for me?" I, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao only has 60,000 soldiers and horses, even a grass people can easily defeat them, not to mention me Yuan Shao! Why have I been suffering losses so far, it is simply because your strategy is vulgar and unbearable, and our army has lost the opportunity to win again and again! ”
"You follow the lord, do your best, and everything you plan is a good strategy in your heart, but in the eyes of the lord, it is a vulgar and unbearable strategy!" Xu You's face gradually became angry, "The lord is very self-controlled, but against Cao Cao, he does not lower him in the slightest, he can see it himself, he can listen to it, but he must not despise the opponent, since ancient times, how can he not be defeated in this way?!" ”
"You're saying every word that I'm not, Xu You seems that your ass is getting better too quickly!" Yuan Shao said with a sneer, "Take it down and hit the forty boards!" ”
"Yong master, mediocre master!"
Xu You was detained in Xingtai, and the big wooden stick in the hands of the soldiers fell straight down, and the bones were all numb!
Xu You's son hurriedly ran to Yuan Shao's camp, but was stopped, "The lord is unwell today, no one is seen, please go back!" ”
Xu Yan knelt directly outside Yuan Shao's camp, "Lord, my father's words may be contradictory, but I really want to be the lord, my father has been conscientious to my lord over the years, my father has just been punished with a cane last time, and the trauma is there, if you do another forty sticks, the wound will collapse, and the body will definitely not be able to survive, but I am only afraid that my father's life is in danger!" ”
Xu Yan kept kowtowing, "Pray for the lord...... I beg the lord to spare my father's life, and I beg your lord!! ”
"Fifteen!"
"Bang!" Xu You's eyes had lost their lustre, and he fainted in pain, Yuan Shao combed his hair crown with an indifferent expression, "There is a noise outside the door, get him away!" ”
"It's the lord!"
"Please, sir...... Please help me bring a word to my lord! ”
"Don't get out of here yet!"
"Twenty!"
Xu Yu on the wooden bench has more air in and less air out.
Frustrated and vicious, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Stop! I will meet the lord immediately, and I will not continue the execution until I return!" ”
Guandu Cao Cao's camp, the generals on both sides stood quietly, and the strategists were also silent.
The soldiers practiced as always, although Yuan Shao suffered a big loss this time, this did not make Cao Cao begin to relax, but became more and more cautious, he and Yuan Shao are completely different, and taking a wrong step is not like Yuan Shao still has the opportunity to breathe! ”
According to Cao Cao's current strength, the only way is to wait for the attack, and there is no possibility of taking the initiative to attack!
Guo Jia's body is becoming more and more unhealthy, and he has been staying alone in the camp to rest, although Cao Cao sometimes has doubts in his heart, he absolutely endures it.
I had to rely on other counselors.
Xun You walked out of the column and said: "Yuan Shao has been severely punished because of the disadvantage of the lord of the battle, in order to vent the anger in his heart. ”
Cao Cao shook his head, "I have known Xu Yu since I was a child, and I know his temperament, so I will never agree to such a rebellion against him!" ”
Xun You smiled and said: "Lord, why do we have to focus on Xu You, persecuting one person with words is the lowest inferior means, and the minister has a better plan to implement!" ”
In Yuan Shao's camp, it has been a month since the last Battle of the White Horse, and Yuan Shao seemed cautious in this month, but he still did not stop following Tian Feng's advice.
"Hey, haven't you heard, I heard that Xu You and his son are going to rebel!"
"Where did this news come from?"
"I don't know, but it is rumored in the army that this matter has not been a day or two, and the root cause of all this is in the lord who severely punished Xu Yu with forty sticks!"
Yuan Shao stood behind the soldier and walked away with a gloomy face. Guo Tu made a silent gesture towards several soldiers, and the soldiers nodded again and again, cold sweat broke out.
Yuan Shao's camp, the generals and strategists stood in columns.
Guo Tu said with a smile: "Tell the lord, what the soldiers said is not something that the minister can do, the lord went in person today, and he must have understood." ”
"Guo Dudu, dare to ask when did the rumors start?" Frustrated asked indifferently on the side.
"At least a month ago," Guo Tu said with a smile, "Isn't it related to Xu Yu that the Dudu is so concerned about this?" ”
"Xu You is a lord and minister, although he has never been able to get out of bed at the moment, he can't let others splash sewage!"
"Enough!" Yuan Shao said with a gloomy face, "Whether there is a rebellion or not, you only need to send someone to investigate, and you can judge it!" ”
"The last general!"
"Pass my order, from now on, you will strictly investigate the Xu You family, and any correspondence records must be interrogated one by one!"
"It's the lord!"
After withdrawing from the meeting, Guo Tu and the two of them chatted privately while walking, "As long as Brother Juan strictly interrogates Xu You this time and doesn't give him a chance to turn over, we can squeeze Xu You out of the court, so that his rights will be eaten away by me one by one!" ”
"Thanks to the sudden rumors in the army that Xu Yu is going to rebel, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have taken Xu You's power so easily."
The judge said goodbye to Guo Tu.
"Father!" Xu Yan looked at Xu You on the bed, it has been a month, Xu You has been with a high fever, if it weren't for the herbs hanging on to his life, I'm afraid he would have already gone to the west!
Seeing his father in such a miserable state, he became more and more resentful of Yuan Shao in his heart. How can such a moody and self-respecting lord be worthy of his father's loyalty?!
And this gradually gave birth to a crazy idea, kill Yuan Shao's little son, and let Yuan Shao experience something more painful than his father!
And the reason why this plan has not been started for a long time is because of the rumors in the army in recent days, I don't know when it started, and I guess that I am going to rebel against my father!
"Get out of the way, I am the overseer, and I came to investigate Xu You's rebellion on the order of the lord, and someone will put Xu Youji and his son in prison together!"
The judge walked into Xu You's camp, and happened to see a woman feeding Xu You medicine again, her appearance was as beautiful as a flower, and her heart suddenly sprouted.
"Who are you, my husband is now completely unconscious, you can't do this to him!" Xu You's wife immediately opened her mouth and shouted.
The judge licked his lips, glanced up and down at the lady and said, "Okay, if you can go with me obediently, I won't move Xu You, anyway, this guy is a waste to me now!" ”
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
The judge immediately pulled Xu You's wife into his arms, not caring about the other party's resistance, "By the way, take Xu You's son away too!" ”
In the camp, Xu Yu slowly opened his eyes, unable to stop his decadence and disappointment.
At night, he came to Yuan Shao's military camp alone.
Yuan Shao followed the lights, was looking at the map, and saw the frustration coming and said, "Another plea?" You must know that if you didn't intercede, Xu You's forty sticks would not be reduced to twenty sticks, I can agree to your request once, but repeated pleas will only make me feel that you are complicit with Xu You! ”
"Lord, what a tragic situation Xu Yu is, you and I have seen it with our own eyes, for a month, I have been hanging on to my life every day by decoction, and occasionally I woke up less than a moment, and immediately lost consciousness again, so a person who is so seriously ill can rebel?!"
Yuan Shao's eyes looked at Fu Zhi slightly, lowered his head and thought about it, and then his expression moved, and said: "Although what you said is not reasonable, but not long ago, Xu You's son had confessed that he had the intention of murdering my son. ”
Frustrated and looked at Yuan Shao, his hands trembled violently, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and then turned away angrily.
All the way to Xu You's barracks, without the care of his family, Xu You was only taken care of by soldiers, and occasionally a few dream words would pop out of his mouth.
Fu Zhu looked at Xu Yu on the bed and asked, "Has he woken up?" ”
The soldiers on the side saluted respectfully: "Tell your lordship, I have been by my side, and I have never seen Lord Xu wake up." ”
"Okay, you guys rest, remember to take good care of him every day, and once you find him awake, report to me immediately!"
Autumn came and summer, and it was another two months, Yuan Shao's army never attacked, but led the soldiers and horses to attack the border camp of Cao Cao's army every day, and when the soldiers and horses appeared to help, they immediately faded.
For a long time, it has constantly consumed the spirit and grain of Cao Cao's army. Every time Cao Cao led his troops and horses, there was no other way than to hate itchy, because it was impossible for him to take the initiative to send troops!
Cao Cao's army barracks.
Cao Cao sat quietly on the wooden chair, without saying a word, and beside him was Xun You, as well as the rest of the ministers, Guo Jia had been sent back to Xuchang to recuperate.
"How much grain and grass are left?"
Cao Cao asked.
"Tell the lord, it's been less than a month!"
"How long have we been blocking Yuan Shao?"
"Five months, my lord."
"Master Xun, what else is there to do?"
Xun You shook his head, and Cao Cao nodded, "Let's all go down, I want to stay alone." ”
After the people were finished, Cao Cao picked up the pen and ink on the side, wrote a letter, and sent soldiers and horses to Xuchang.
