Chapter 690: Victory on the Whole Line
"It seems that Yuan Shu's good days have finally come to an end. Now that Nanyang has been broken, Runan has almost fallen into the hands of the Sun family's army, as long as Yuan Shu's army is broken, our army can take the opportunity to cover up and recapture the Chen State, so that the land of the three counties planned by the lord will be included in my Cao family's bag!! is so close to the hegemony of the lord!! Cao Ren's eyes were impressive, and his heart was like a scorching fire burning.
At this time, Dian Wei, who had not spoken, grinned suddenly, and he was full of evil spirits, and this smile seemed a little chilling.
"I don't think these three counties will be enough, and soon, Yingchuan County will also fall into the hands of the lord!" As soon as Dian Wei's words came out, everyone reacted, and their fighting spirit became even higher in an instant. Cao Ren saw that now that everyone's fighting spirit was high, it was a good time to compete with Yuan Shu, so he slapped the case, and suddenly got up and shouted: "Okay!" Pass my order, order the three armies to prepare quickly, and early tomorrow morning, they will follow me to attack the Yuanshu camp!! ”
As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, all the generals cheered with indignation, and the entire tent shook.
On the other side, it is no coincidence, while Cao Ren has repeatedly received information, Yuan Shu is the same here. It's just that what came to Yuan Shu here seemed to be bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!
"How is that possible!? How can it be wow~~!! Could it be that this child of the Sun family will turn into a demon!? How did he repeatedly break the armies of Zhang and Qiao, and how did he conjure up so many men and horses to cross from Jiangdong to attack Runan!? This must be the false information deliberately leaked by the enemy, just to make our army's position chaotic~!! Not credible, never credible~~!! I saw that Yuan Shu's face was hideous and terrifying, and it could even be said that he was crazy, but he was under the command of Wenwu, but he bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
"Why don't you make a sound, it's the autumn of survival now, but you don't want to work hard, so what's the use of me waiting!?" Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and he shouted in a desperate voice.
At this time, Yuan Yi shook his head, sighed, and then got up and said: "Lord, according to Shicai's careful investigation, his early explanation is all seen with his own eyes, now that Zhang Xun has been captured, Qiao Rui has retreated to Ancheng, and the morale of the Sun family army is booming, if you want to keep Runan, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!" ”
As soon as Yuan Shu's words came out, Yuan Shu's eyes widened and were about to burst, and he suddenly let out a 'wow' roar, and blood spurted out on the spot.
It turned out that Yuan Shu had accumulated too much resentment these days, and because of the fatigue of the expedition, Yuan Shu couldn't do everything well, so he finally couldn't bear it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing that Yuan Shu was so angry that he was spurting blood, how dare he be silent anymore, he hurriedly got up and wanted to visit.
"It's all for Lao Tzu to stop!!" Wudi, Yuan Shu roared, and everyone was so frightened that their bodies stiffened, and they didn't dare to move for a while. Yuan Shu immediately wiped the blood on the side of his mouth, looked around at everyone with a dark and terrifying face, and gradually showed a sneer, and finally fixed his eyes on Yuan Yi's body.
"And what do you mean now?" Yuan Shu asked coldly.
Yuan Yi's eyes were impressive, looking at Yuan Shu, who had been hit hard, as if he had to wake him up, and said in a condensed voice: "If the battle situation in Runan is transmitted to Cao Ren, the morale of his army will definitely rise, and all the generals under his command will think that victory is in sight, and they must be willing to fight hard, and now I am afraid that the soldiers of our army have no intention of fighting!" Moreover, Liu Miao of Yangzhou has always been afraid of the lord, and now that the lord's territory has been looted by Cao Cao, he must be ready to move, as long as someone is around, once instigated, he will come to attack Huainan. Therefore, I think that we should focus on the overall situation, abandon Runan, and protect Huainan!! ”
As soon as Yuan's last words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding, and many soldiers exclaimed. After all, Runan is the important place of the Yuan family, and many elders and clansmen of the Yuan family are still living in Ancheng, once Ancheng is lost, Sun Ce, who hates the Yuan family very much, is afraid that he will kill and vent his hatred! This is a great rebellion, and everyone really dare not say it. What's more, he, Yuan Yi, was originally a member of the Yuan clan, and Yuan Yi wanted Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops, undoubtedly to push his clan to a dead end!
Yuan Boye !! Do you know what you're talking about!? But if your words are spread to the clan, according to the family law, you can cut off your limbs, then skin and cramp, and pour a pot for seven days and seven days, so that you can survive and not die, and suffer for seven days before you are allowed to die!! Yuan Shu stared at Yuan Yu and said.
Yuan Yi heard this, but he let out a sneer, and said: "The lord is now the overlord of Huainan, how can he still be the second son of the Yuan family back then, and he must follow the arrangement of the head of the family everywhere?" If this is the case, the lord will always be just a puppet in the family! I, Yuan Yi, am not afraid of a thousand cuts, but I am afraid of following a faint monarch who has no ambitions, looks forward and backwards, and should be broken but cannot be broken! ”
"You!!" Listening to Yuan's words, they were shocked, but they would never dare to speak like this in front of Yuan Shu, who regarded face as more important than his life. And the strange thing is that if Yuan Shu, who had been thunderous and angry in the past, actually took a long breath of air, closed his eyes, and was silent for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Yuan Shu opened his eyes and said meaningfully: "Eh... Yuan Boye, Yuan Boye, if you had told me earlier, how good would it be? ”
When Yuan Yi heard this, his body trembled, and he couldn't help but show a look of guilt on his face, suddenly knelt on his knees, lowered his head and choked up: "Your Majesty has no courage, and it has been delayed so far, and it is a capital crime to be so bad!" ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, as if he saw a lot more clearly at once, and said: "I, Yuan Highway, am good-faced and stubborn, who dares to speak out?" That's it! ”
Yuan Shu sighed, then got up, his eyes were a little more desolate, and he said a word lightly, and after ordering everything to be handed over to Yuan Yi, he left slowly under the eyes of everyone. Everyone did not dare to speak, but they were silent. However, Yuan Yi, who slowly raised his head, laughed instead.
It is said that Yuan Yu was also resolute in his work, and quickly transferred the troops on the same day, and began to withdraw the troops at the third watch. Cao Renjun should prepare for tomorrow's battle and recuperate, so he rested early. The scout came with the news, Cao Ren heard that Yuan Shu suddenly withdrew his troops, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to reorganize their troops and horses. But by the time Cao Ren led his troops to Yuan Shu's camp, his army had already withdrawn. Dian Wei and Cao Hong hurriedly asked to lead the cavalry to pursue, but Cao Ren did not dare to agree, but calmly sent scouts to investigate, and sure enough, Yuan Shu had already sent Ji Ling to ambush and break off, and most of the scouts who went to investigate were killed and wounded, and only a few horsemen fled back. When Cao Ren learned of this, he stopped pursuing and led his troops back to the camp to discuss the next step of the battle with the generals.
In this regard, Cao Ren's subordinates were divided into two camps, one of which hoped to enter Runan to prevent the Sun family from being dominant and raising tigers. The other camp hoped that Cao Ren would attack Chen Guo in order to cut off Zhang Xiu's back road.
Cao Ren was also hesitant at this time, wanting to divide the troops, but he was afraid that after the division of troops, the troops would not be enough to deter the Sun family or capture the Chen State.
At this time, Cao Cao's urgent order came, which solved the current problem for Cao Ren.
Cao Cao ordered, if Yuan Shu retreated, he would attack Chen State, and Zhang Xiu would be like a turtle in the urn!
Cao Ren received the order, did not slack off, and immediately gave an order to the generals, and on the same day, he rose out of the camp and killed Chen Guo with great momentum.
However, Yuan Shu did not return to Chen Guo, but went directly to the direction of Huainan. Cao Ren thought that Yuan Shu must go back to prepare Liu Xuan, so he had no worries, and quickly marched all the way to Chen State. At this time, Chen Guo was empty, Cao Ren led his troops all the way forward, and quickly conquered most of the cities and counties of Chen State in only five or six days, occupied all the border passes between Chen State and Yingchuan, and deployed heavy troops.
However, he said that at the same time that Cao Ren occupied the pass of Chen Guoyi, on the other side, Zhang Xiu was unable to attack Kwai City in a hurry, and he and the Xiahou army guarding the city reached a stalemate. And not long ago, Liu Ye arrived with reinforcements from Chen Liu, and he had a rivalry with Kwai Cheng. Zhang Xiujun saw it, the formation was in chaos, Zhang Xiu urgently looked for Yan Xiang to discuss, how did Yan Xiang just learn that Nanyang was broken, Cao Cao was leading the army to kill Yingchuan, at that time the war in Runan was a chaos, and it was hopeless to return, and he had the heart to surrender to Cao Jun, so he was embarrassed, but there was no way. Zhang Xiu complained and lightly attacked Liu Ye's army, but was attacked by Xiahoudun and his troops, but fortunately there was Lu Bu in the camp to guard, and his army was not seriously damaged. Therefore, Lu Bu was even more supported by Zhang Xiu.
On the same day, Xiahoudun returned to Kuicheng, and Cao Xiu came to report with joy, saying that the good news came from the Shicai Meteor Horse, Yuan Shu had withdrawn his army, and Cao Ren's army had also attacked Chen. And the 10,000 army led by their lord Cao Cao has also taken Kunyang now, and will soon come to Kwai City to help!
"Chen Guo has been lost, Kunyang has been broken by the lord, and now I and Liu Ye's two armies have become a corner, Zhang Xiu is hopeless to break Xuchang, it can be described as a dilemma, and it has become a turtle in the urn!" Cao Xiu said with a sneer, his eyes were impressive.
When Xiahou heard this, he frowned, and suddenly said: "That embroidery is indeed a turtle in the urn, but that Lu Bu is a trapped beast!" If you don't solve this person, I'm afraid that I will be bitten back by him, and I will lose a layer of skin if I don't die!! ”
As soon as Xiahoudun's voice fell, suddenly a soldier outside asked to see him, and Xiahoudun was summoned. When the soldier came in, he quickly gave a salute and immediately took out a secret letter from his bosom. Xiahou asked about it, only to learn that this was when the enemy attacked the enemy camp at the right time, someone in the enemy army secretly handed over this secret letter to this soldier.
Xiahou took it, took it apart, and couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that this was written by Yan Xiang, indicating that he had the intention to surrender to Cao Jun, and also said that many soldiers in Zhang Xiu's army are now full of respect for Lu Bu, and because of this, Zhang Xiu is very jealous, and can use the discord strategy to make the two rebel and take the opportunity to break it!
When Xiahoudun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he showed the secret letter to Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu read the plan in the letter, but he also felt that it was feasible, so after the two discussed it, they had already made a decision.
