Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, just when Xiao Yi was blocked from the mouth of the pot and it was difficult for people and horses to advance, thousands of miles away on the land of Jizhou, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two rivals in life, took the city, power, and life as bargaining chips, and launched a shocking gamble, the winner is the king, and the loser is the thief!

I have to say that Cao's strategy is very successful, first let Xiao Yi send troops to merge with the state, attract the attention of the Yuan group, and wait until the reinforcements advance westward and the central part is empty, and then suddenly launch an attack to catch the Yuan army by surprise!

In just one month, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan entered the territory of Qingzhou and seized the three counties of Chengyang, Donglai and Beihai; Cao Cao led the main force of the Chinese army, also crossed the Yellow River, and attacked the southern city of Jizhou, and the Yuan army was defeated and retreated, with almost no strength to fight back!

The state is in an emergency, Qingzhou is in an emergency, and the whole Hebei is in an emergency, and the military report requesting reinforcements flew to Yecheng like snowflakes, causing great panic, and the scholars and powerful families moved their families north and fled to a safe place, while the people hid in their homes, burned incense and worshiped God, and prayed for blessings!

At this point, the Hebei Mansion will fall, the people are panicked, and the officials have written to suggest that they abandon the old nest Yecheng, and everyone flees to the Youzhou area, temporarily avoiding the edge of the Cao army, and then send a messenger to pay homage to the courtesy, ask for peace, send a son as a hostage, and then cede some land!

Unexpectedly, at the moment of life and death, Yuan Shao broke out, radiated the courage of the year, and overrode public opinion, instead of running away, he took the initiative to send troops to fight Cao Cao to the death.

Yuan Shao cheered up, the whole army to meet the enemy, in order to appease the people's hearts, but also opened the Jizhou treasury, with grain to help the people, and issued three decrees:

Gossip, shakers - kill!

Those who have two ambitions and fornicate with the enemy camp - kill!

Retreat from the battle, hesitate - kill!

and let the eldest son, Yuan Tan, go to Qingzhou to resist the attack of the Xiahou brothers; The second son, Yuan Xu, went to Youzhou to recruit soldiers and horses to go south to rescue; Then to the nephew of the book, Gao Gan, who is guarding the Hukou Pass, must drag Xiao Yi's men and horses to ensure the safety of Jizhou's flanks!

Yuan Shao decided to defend the enemy outside, leaving the trial to stick to Yecheng, and he took his son Yuan Shang and the strategist Guo Tu, and cobbled together 150,000 horses, and camped in Cangting in the south, ready to fight to the death with Cao's army!

Over the years, Yuan's army has been defeated repeatedly, the elite has been lost, in order to raise 150,000 horses, Yuan Shao has used all the strength to eat, and the men in the general's mansion, all who can move, will go out with the army, including servants, grooms, gardeners, cooks...... He also transferred the Yecheng garrison and recruited homeless people with a lot of money, but he finally got all the people together, and he didn't have time for training, so he went directly to the battlefield!

Cangting is located in the south of Yecheng, one hundred and twenty miles away, east of Weishui, west of Heshan, in the middle of the road of Doshou, is also the last line of defense of the Yuan army, once the enemy falls here, Yecheng is equal to the naked in front of the people!

…………………………………………………………………………

"The battle of Cangting is related to the survival of Hebei, and we must go all out to prevent Cao Jun from advancing half a step!"

"Cao's army is coming from afar, and the men and horses must be tired, and while its foothold is not stable, our army will attack with all its might, maybe ......"

"Cao Mengde is good at using soldiers, how can he be defenseless, the key is that the combat strength of our army is not as good as before!"

……………………

Late at night, in the Yuan army camp - the Chinese army tent, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang, and Guo Tu sat together, and they were subordinate troops, and they were fighting against Cao Jun's horses, but the three of them discussed for a while, and there was no good way, so they kept sighing!

Fighting a war is difficult and simple, nothing more than three conditions: the soldiers are brave, the food and grass are sufficient, and a wise commander can run rampant, the problem is that Yuan Jun does not have any of the above three conditions!

In the battle of Guandu, the Yuan army was defeated, the elite men and horses were completely damaged, only the old, weak, sick and disabled remained, and the newly recruited soldiers were either sixty or sixteen years old, and they couldn't even hold swords and guns, how to deal with the tiger and wolf division of the Cao army?

There are no young and strong laborers, the fields are difficult to cultivate, and the grain is naturally insufficient, and the Cao army sent merchants to purchase materials on a large scale, so that the prices of Hebei have skyrocketed, rice is as expensive as pearls, many places are starving to death, and the military food is difficult to gather, and the soldiers are half hungry and half full!

As for the commander, although Yuan Shao cheered up, but a broken sword can be sharpened to that point, spit blood several times, hurt the body, and it is difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility of soldiers and horses, but it is just forcibly supported, who is called the three sons of the Yuan family, one is more than a waste!

"Cao thief is good at using soldiers, the soldiers under his command have experienced a hundred battles, they are all tigers and wolves, and there are peerless famous generals with wings, and the unparalleled ghost is a military advisor, with the current strength of Hebei, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry!

Send a few more groups of envoys to Jingzhou with heavy money, so that Liu Biao can quickly send troops, attack Xuchang City behind his back, and force Cao Thief to return to the division to rescue, otherwise, the lips will be cold, and once Hebei is lost, how can Jingzhou live alone?

There are also Jiangdong, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Liaodong...... All the envoys were sent, as long as one of the princes sent troops, the pressure on our army could be relieved, and the Cao army was short of food and grass, and if it dragged on for a year and a half, the veteran soldiers of the division would retreat when they were tired! ”

Regarding the situation in front of him, Yuan Shao saw it very clearly, Hebei was stormy and could be subverted at any time, so he could only rush to the doctor in a hurry, pinning his hopes on the princes from all walks of life!

"The general doesn't have to be distressed, the battlefield is changing rapidly, the matter of victory and defeat, the state of strength and weakness, may be reversed at any time, as long as our army is united, we will definitely be able to repel the strong enemy and ensure that the four states of Hebei are safe!"

Guo Tu comforted with kind words, hoping that Yuan Shao would cheer up, at the beginning of the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak, such a thing, they must repeat it again!

"Report! -Cao Ying sent a messenger to ask to meet the general, and there is an important matter to be communicated! ”

A pro-soldier ran into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and saluted, holding a prayer note in his hand, with four words on it: Jiujiang-Jiang Gan!

"Pass the order, open the camp gate, invite the envoy of Cao Jun to come in, the etiquette must be grand, don't lose the face of Hebei!"

Yuan Shao took the sticker, his eyes showed a puzzled look, Cao Cao sent someone at this time, could it be a war letter?

Poor people like to pretend to be rich, ugly people like to wear makeup, the same, the more weak people are, the more they like to pretend, after the herald went out, Yuan Shao dressed up, wore a dragon helmet, wore a golden armor, held a sword, and sat majestically behind the handsome case!

In addition, hundreds of warriors, wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, lined up on the left and right of the big tent, posing a sword mountain array, and a large oil pot, also placed outside the big tent door, the flames were raging underneath, and the oil flowers were tumbling inside, and thick heat was coming out......

"Cao Ying's envoy, see the general in the account!"

………………

"Jiujiang-Jiang Ziyi, I've seen General Yuan-Jixiang Wan'an!"

After a while, Jiang Gan walked into the big tent with a calm pace and a calm demeanor, ignoring the samurai, the sword mountain, and the oil pot at all!

Jiang Gan is now mixing well, with two lines of sharp teeth and three inches of tongue, he has become Cao Ying's envoy, running around in all directions, lobbying the princes, sword mountain, sea of fire, cannon branding, potting, I haven't seen any big scenes, a pot of oil is not a problem!

"Sir is so bold and worthy of the position of messenger, but it is a pity that he is used by traitors...... Please sit and drink! ”

"Thanks to the general's praise, it's just a fake tiger in Xiahu, and there are Cao Ying's million-strong male divisions behind him, so he is naturally bolder!"

"Millions of heroes, it's an exaggeration, Cao Apu sent you here, what is the reason, could it be that the fortified city is difficult to conquer, the army is short of food and grass, and is ready to negotiate peace and retire?"

Yuan Shao had something to say, pointing out that Cao Jun's lack of food and grass was the biggest weakness, implying that he was not afraid!

"Huh! …… The general's Hongfu, last year's wind and rain were smooth, the five grains were abundant, Xu, Yan, Henan, and Si were ripe, and the grain was piled up, and the soldiers couldn't eat enough, so they began to feed the horses, but it was all over Hebei, and I heard that there were hungry people making trouble! ”

The prime minister of my family misses the old days, and hopes to meet with the general in front of the two armies, talk about wine, reminisce about the past, and make a little friend! ”

Jiang Gan was unceremoniously, immediately ridiculed each other, his words were very annoying, and finally took out a letter, which was Cao Cao's own handwriting, which was both an invitation and a war letter!

"Old friend Cao Mengde, to the book under the command of Yuan Benchu, you and I met in a young age, became playmates, young people help each other, enter the career together, respect each other in middle age, chase the Central Plains, for decades, know each other, like siblings, although the sword and soldiers meet, do not hurt personal feelings, I hope that before the decisive battle, I have a few drinks with my brother, recount the old friendship, and then let go, become a king and defeat the king, each according to the destiny of heaven......"

Yuan Shao took the letter, read it three times, and finally sighed, his expression was very gloomy, he and Cao Cao are old enemies and friends for decades, how can they not have some friendship?

The most familiar is a friend, the most known is a strong enemy, the two become one, this wonderful feeling, words can not describe, thinking of this, Yuan Shao took the pen and ink, wrote a reply to Cao Cao, promising to meet!

"Before the battle of life and death, a few drinks with old friends is also a good story, since Meng De has arranged the location, the old man will set a time, three days later, in front of the two armies, drink and talk, see you or disperse!"

"The gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase, so I said goodbye, went back and told the prime minister, prepared delicious food and wine, and waited for the general's drive!"

Jiang Gan took the letter, got up to say goodbye, and under the escort of several guards, he returned to the Cao army camp!

"Ordered General Jiang Qi, within three days, he must rush to the Cangting battlefield, live and die, and fight here!"

Yuan Shao pondered for a while, looked in the northwest direction, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, if the strategy succeeded, he might be able to reverse the situation!
