The place where the flames once burned is getting colder.

Cao Cao came here with everyone.

He drew his sword and stabbed it hard into the ground.

The soil that should have been soft was as hard as stone.

The long sword stabbed up, and only a white mark was drawn.

"It's really hard." Putting away the long sword, Cao Cao said, "In such a hard place, I don't believe that the Yuan family's digging camp can still be opened." ”

"It's easy to open up if it's from the top down, but it's a little difficult from the bottom up." Cao Shuo said: "I think we should take advantage of the current occupation of the territory and condescend to attack Yuan Jun. ”

"Good!" Cao Cao said: "Since you proposed it, I will give you this credit." ”

Cao Shuo's head was suddenly covered with black lines.

He simply suggested that the Cao archers climb the dirt slope and fire arrows at the Yuan army.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually handed over the task to him.

The military order had been issued, and he couldn't help but receive it, so he had to say to Cao Cao: "To attack Yuan's army, I have to take a thunderbolt." ”

"Give you whatever you want." Cao Cao was generous and promised.

"Command the two battalions to fly the bear and break the formation." Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji on the side: "Let them follow me up the dirt slope, and then bring all the thunderbolts, and we will also let Yuan Jun taste the taste of being harassed by a remote attack." ”

Cai Ji was ordered to leave.

Guo Jia said on the side: "Son, as long as he sends someone to climb the dirt slope, he doesn't have to go in person, right?" ”

"To harass the enemy, I use all the elite." Cao Shuo said: "They went up the dirt slope, how could I wait here." ”

Holding his fists and arching at Cao Cao and Guo Jia, Cao Shuo said, "Father, Guo Gong, I'll go first." ”

Cao Shuo turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "With the son here, Cao Gong should be able to rest assured." ”

"Fortunately, he is here, otherwise the enemy's arrow tower would have been enough to annoy us for a while." Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu: "Send the order to send all the stones to the soil slope, and send another two thousand men and horses, once the Yuan army attacks the city, immediately step forward to assist Gongzi in defending." ”

Xu Chu was about to leave, when Cao Cao saw the black pressure on a large army and drove towards the dirt slope.

Except for the dragon cavalry and the cavalry in the army, Cao Shuo actually took all the infantry out.

"Wait." Cao Cao stopped Xu Chu.

Watching the army drive towards the dirt slope, Cao Cao was stunned and asked Guo Jia, "Zirong, what is this going to do?" ”

"Does he want to occupy the high ground in one fell swoop, so that Yuan Jun has no chance to fight back?" Guo Jia replied.

Frowning, Cao Cao didn't say anything.

Guandu confronted each other, and he brought a total of 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers, while Cao Shuo brought 20,000.

Except for three or two thousand cavalry, all that remained were heavy infantry.

Seeing Cao Shuo lead his troops up the dirt slope, Cao Cao ordered: "The army is on alert, ready for a decisive battle with Yuan's army at any time!" ”

Cao's army actively prepared for war.

Yuan's army retreated to the barracks.

Standing in the barracks, Yuan Shao found that on the dirt slope where they had just retreated, there was actually a black-pressed Cao army.

Unlike Cao Cao's inky blue battle flag, Cao Jun, who appeared on the dirt slope, held a jet-black battle flag high.

"Are the enemy troops on the dirt slope Cao Zirong's men and horses?" Yuan Shao asked to the side.

Standing behind him, looking at the dirt slope, Guo Tu said, "It looks like it." ”

"I was not kind to him at the beginning, and I married my daughter to him, but I didn't expect that now I am playing against me." Yuan Shao sighed and said, "It's me who looked at the wrong person." ”

"Yuan Gong doesn't have to think about it." Guo Tu replied: "Cao Zirong is still very affectionate, I heard that it is because of his protection that Miss was not embarrassed in Shouchun." Although Yuan Gong is his father-in-law, Cao Cao is his biological father after all. This kind of thing is difficult for anyone to choose. ”

Glancing at Guo Tu, Yuan Shao said, "You will be more and more able to unravel people by then." ”

"It's not an explanation, it's just human nature." Guo Tu said: "Yuan Gong has a keen eye and will not look at the wrong person. ”

"There is no difference between being wrong and not being wrong." Yuan Shao said: "Isn't he still coming to Guandu now, leading troops to fight against me? ”

"If Yuan Gong really feels that his heart is not very happy, when he breaks through the Cao family, he can call Cao Zirong in front of him to humiliate him." Guo Tu said: "Cao Zirong has always been used to smooth sailing, how can he know that he is an enemy of Yuan Gong, in fact, he is not comfortable with himself." ”

"Speaking of which, I really like this son-in-law." Yuan Shao smiled slightly: "If the Yuan Cao family didn't go to war, maybe I would still be able to use him in the future." ”

"If the Cao family is gone, if he doesn't attach himself to Duke Yuan, who can he rely on?" Guo Tu replied.

Yuan Shao was about to speak, when Cao Jun on the dirt slope opened his bow and arrows and shot countless arrows towards the Yuan army's military camp.

Arrows rained down, and Guo Tu hurriedly shouted when he saw this: "Protect Yuan Gong!" ”

Several guards had already stepped forward with large shields to shield Yuan Shao from the rain of arrows.

Hiding behind the guards, Yuan Shao quickly retreated, and Guo Tu also followed him, running out of the range of the arrows.

The unsuspecting Yuan army suffered many casualties under the rain of arrows shot by Cao's army.

Yuan Jun, who reacted, jumped out of the camp tent, holding a shield to block the rain of arrows, and retreated.

On the dirt slope, looking at Yuan Jun in the distance, Cao Shuo did not have the slightest expression on his face.

Zhao Yun came to his side and asked him in a low voice, "Childe, will shooting arrows like this attract Yuan Jun to counterattack?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Cao Shuo said: "Actually, what I want is for them to fight back." ”

"If the Yuan army counterattacks, I am willing to lead a team of soldiers and horses to fight back." Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said.

Only then did Cao Shuo understand that Zhao Yun originally wanted to fight.

"Zilong, don't worry, there are many opportunities to fight." Cao Shuo said: "I don't want to give up the favorable terrain and fight the enemy on flat ground with far less numerous soldiers and horses. ”

He grinned at Zhao Yun: "Not everyone is Xiang Yu who can fight the battle of the giant deer, at least not me, because I am not as reckless as Xiang Yu." ”

On the dirt slope, the soldiers of the Cao army lined up in a long dragon formation, constantly firing arrows at the Yuan army.

Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to send a steady stream of feathered arrows to the slope.

The unsuspecting Yuan army, after suffering considerable casualties, finally withdrew from the range of Cao's bow and arrow.

Yuan Shao fled very embarrassed.

Finally leaving the range of Cao Jun's arrows, he gasped heavily, looked at Cao Jun on the dirt slope, gritted his teeth and said, "What a Cao Zirong, you dare to do this to me!" If you don't capture this kid, I, Yuan Shao, have been the lord of Hebei for nothing in my life. ”

"Gao Yan!" He shouted: "Lead 5,000 troops and storm the enemy." ”

"Yuan Gong!" Gao Ran came to him, clasped his fists and said: "There are more than 10,000 enemy troops on the soil slope, and our army is only 5,000. ”
