Chapter 64: The Battle of Zhili VI

"Brother Benchu, if you come half an hour late, I'm afraid you'll have to be loyal!" In the official barracks tent, Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao, although alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, but for their status, it is obviously not very binding.

"Hahaha, Meng De, haven't you always hoped that your tombstone could be engraved with the tomb of General Han Zhengxi in the future? Isn't it what you've always wanted to do to be loyal to the Han? "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have known each other for a long time, and even robbed the bride together, peeked at the widow taking a bath together, it can be said that they sang together, and now they are fighting side by side, which is equivalent to carrying the robbery together, according to later generations, it is almost iron.

Of course, people at this time do not have this awareness, although the two have known each other before, but because Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng is a eunuch, although his father Cao Song later became a lieutenant, but compared to the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, it is still far behind, so Yuan Shao has not looked down on Cao Cao very much, but in this battle Cao Cao fought to the death of thousands of recruits and 200,000 yellow scarves without retreating, obviously won his respect, he Yuan Benchu was not the kind of villain who didn't understand anything, and he still felt pity for talented people.

"Although's dream is so, but I want to build a great cause for Dahan even more, how can I be willing to die here!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly.

"That Yellow Turban traitor is just relying on the advantage of numbers, otherwise it won't be broken!" Speaking of the Yellow Turban Army, Yuan Shao's expression obviously showed disdain.

"Huh! There are still more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops under Bocai's command, so let's wait until the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Luoyang arrive before attacking together! Cao Cao suggested.

Yuan Shao listened to the silence for a moment, thought about the momentum of the Yellow Turban military camp that stretched for miles before, and finally forcibly suppressed his thoughts of monopolizing the credit, and said, "Just like Meng De said!" ”

Two days later, a Han army of about 20,000 people appeared in the sky, led by Zhao Rong, the left captain of the auxiliary army, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, Xia Mou, the left captain, and Chun Yuqiong, the right captain of the auxiliary army.

"you, you've seen the generals!" Cao Cao was the only one who came to greet him, and Yuan Shao naturally wouldn't come to greet him personally, in fact, even if he didn't give face, these people would laugh at him.

"I've seen the Captain of the Cadet!" Several people saluted at the same time, their official positions were flat, and only Yuan Shao, a member of the family, could suppress them by virtue of his status.

"Brother Benchu occasionally felt unwell and couldn't greet him in person, please forgive me!" Cao Cao said again.

"Alas, Meng De's words are wrong, since the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy is unwell, we naturally will not have any objections!" As a member of the Yuan family, Chun Yuqiong was the first to come out and say.

Others didn't dare to dismantle Yuan Shao's platform, so they had to go down the steps and say "yes" again and again.

After entering the tent, Yuan Shao was already sitting on the top and waiting.

"Please take a seat!" Yuan Shao's official position did not suppress them, so although he was arrogant in his heart, he still couldn't let them stand below like he treated his subordinates, but let everyone sit down like the princes in history begged for Dong.

Emperor Han Ling did not specify who would command the overall situation, because it was useless to say it, none of these people dared to compete with Yuan Shao, and it would be a joke in vain at that time.

Sure enough, after everyone took their seats, they immediately said that the battle was led by Yuan Shao, which could be regarded as satisfying Yuan Shao's vanity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although our camp is on high ground, there are no steep mountains nearby, but most of them are plains, so our army can only face off with the Yellow Turban rebels on the plains, I don't know what you think?" Yuan Shao's eyes swept over everyone and asked.

"We have no objection!" At this time, naturally, no one will not give face.

"I've been waiting for a while, and Meng De has been fighting with the Yellow Turban for many days, so it's better for Meng De to describe the news of the Yellow Turban traitor." Yuan Shao saw that everyone agreed, so he said again.

Cao Cao saw that no one raised objections, so he got up and said: "Everyone, through three days of hard fighting, Cao also roughly figured out all kinds of information about the Yellow Turban, at present, there are more than 180,000 warriors under Bocai, including 30,000 crossbowmen, most of the bows and crossbows of the Yellow Turban Army are obtained from the official warehouses in various places, and the power is not weaker than that of the official army, secondly, the Yellow Turban Army has a cavalry, about 8,000 people, and the training is not praised, so the combat power is limited, and the rest are ordinary infantry troops, among which there are many old and weak, and only about half of the young and strong, so the combat power is limited, As long as we work together, the Yellow Turban traitor must not worry! ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shao and everyone nodded one after another, seeing this, Yuan Shao said: "It's late today, you are tired from the march, why don't you rest first, and our army will go out to meet the Yellow Turban Army early tomorrow morning!" ”

"It's all up to the general!" The generals said.

In the early morning of the next day, 50,000 officers and troops gathered on the plain, leaving only a few hundred of Cao Cao's troops and 2,000 of Yuan Shao's detachment to stay in the camp.

Bocai, who got the news, also gathered all the main forces and prepared to fight to the death with the official army.

As soon as hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army appeared, the officers and soldiers were instantly silent, and many soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time held their weapons tightly, and their palms were full of sweat, and the dense and boundless Yellow Turban Army shocked all the officers and soldiers.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others all looked solemn, although they said that the yellow turbans were not to be worried, but they still attached great importance to them in their hearts, after all, ants bite elephants to death, and 200,000 yellow turban troops are not a small number.

Seeing that his morale was low, Yuan Shao's eyes gestured to a general beside him, the general nodded, and then rushed to the center of the battlefield with a horse's belly, and shouted: "I am Wen Chou, a general under the command of the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, who dares to fight with me!" The sound was like thunder in the formations of both sides, and the morale of the officers and soldiers rose somewhat when they saw that their generals were so powerful.

"Hmph, court lackey, watch me behead your dog!" Soon, a member of the Yellow Turban Army also appeared, and he also looked very powerful, seven feet five tall, with a big beard, holding a long knife, and looking fierce.

"Whoever comes, Ben will not kill the nameless!" Wen Chou's spear pointed at the Yellow Turban general.

"I am Yan Kang, the general of the Yellow Turban! Take me a knife! After speaking, Yan Kang danced his long knife and rode towards Wen Chou.

Wen Chou clenched his spear, clamped the horse's belly, and hedged over not to be outdone.

"Bell!" Yan Kang slashed hard at Wen Chou's gun, and the seemingly fierce blow made everyone ask Wen Chou and secretly sweated.

Then such a fierce knife was easily taken by Wen Chou, but Yan Kang was so shocked by the huge force that he almost fell off his back and fell off the horse, and his hands were cracked.
