Chapter 400: The Venerable Yuan Shu
Cao Cao looked coldly at the past.
Yuan Shu took away his baggage, and gathered so many soldiers and horses, it was clear that he would attack Yuzhou after him.
This is the rhythm of destroying him Cao Cao in one go.
And now, Yuan Shu looked innocent, waving his hands, looking as if he was the victim.
Boss Cao's anger is like having a bellows in his stomach.
At this time.
Zhuge Liang was biting his ears with his lord.
Mr. Qin then rode out and came to the angry Boss Cao, "It seems that Yuan Shu doesn't want to fight to the death, but can adapt to the situation." Brother Meng De, you still need to know the priorities, and you can afford to put it down. β
After Boss Cao heard Mr. Qin's words, he gradually understood. In fact, he didn't want to fight to the death with Yuan Shu at this time, and the more than 100,000 enemy troops on the opposite side were definitely not decorations.
He rode his horse closer and beckoned to Yuan Shu, "Brother Xian, it looks like there is a misunderstanding here. β
Looking at Cao Cao's style, he wanted to talk about it, and Yuan Shu also understood it, so he also beat the horse over.
Cao Cao was completely like everyone was an acquaintance, with kindness on his face, but he said coldly in a low voice: "Highway, return my grain and grass, and double my losses, this matter is over." β
He alluded to Yuan Shu's back, gave an expression you understand, and said in his heart I asked you to come and talk to you, which is already very face-saving for you, and avoids embarrassing you in front of hundreds of thousands of subordinates.
Yuan Shu thought about it, he had no generals under him, and he had to redeem his subordinates. Although the flesh hurts, I still agreed.
Immediately after, Cao Cao grabbed Yuan Shu's arm and laughed, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." "Another rubbing.
Yuan Shu was heart-rending in pain, but he also had to laugh twice with Hehe, and hurriedly opened Cao Cao's thick hand, "Misunderstanding...... β
But to the soldiers, it looked like an old friend.
The Huainan army was dumbfounded.
"Didn't you say that you would go straight to Huanglong and seize Xuchang in one go?"
"How did you reconcile, but I still misunderstood!"
The soldiers of the Huainan Army said that they simply couldn't understand.
The Lord's mind is too jumpy, we can't understand it!
So, Yuan Shu sent his baggage from the rear.
After Cao Cao smiled, he took Yuan Shu and entered the encirclement.
Soon, Qin Cao Yuan came to the area guarded by Ji Ling.
When Ji Ling learned that Cao Cao was coming again, he immediately ordered his troops and horses and left the camp.
Ji Ling took the lead, and the three-pointed two-edged knife pointed angrily at the past, and shouted: "Cao Cao, although you occupy a favorable location, you surround us in this mountain. But if you want to destroy us, there is no way. β
Cao Cao said with a smile, "General Ji Ling is really a hero, so let's do it, as long as General Ji Ling surrenders to me, I will promote you as the pastor of Yanzhou, and promise my daughter to you as a wife, what do you think?" β
Zhang Xun and Chen Lan were shocked, this surrender condition is simply too good, it doesn't seem to be persuasion at all, this is a son-in-law.
Ji Ling said coldly: "I will not surrender to you at all, when my lord attacks Xuchang, you will be the homeless person." β
Yuan Shu, who came here, was originally very angry, but after hearing Ji Ling's words, he was very relieved. I thought that although I had suffered some situations, as long as Ji Ling and them were alive, it would be very simple to make a comeback in the future.
Yuan Shu also saw that Cao Cao was deliberately persuaded to surrender like this, how could he wait for Cao Cao to continue to destroy the relationship between their master and servant, so he immediately rode his horse and pushed Cao Cao when he squeezed past him.
Cao Cao was pushed, but laughed instead.
Yuan Shu couldn't wait to say: "Fuyi, I'm here to pick you up!" β
Ji Ling originally wanted to fight Cao Cao to the death, and his tragic mood can be imagined.
Suddenly, I saw the lord appear, and my eyes popped out.
Zhang Xun's face changed drastically, and they began to stagger.
Chen Lan shouted in horror, "Lord, you were caught by Cao Cao!" β
When Yuan Shu heard this, he almost pulled it over. He immediately straightened his back, you see, am I being caught? Is there a man like me who was caught?
"It's all a misunderstanding, I've reconciled with Meng De and came to take you home."
After Ji Ling and the others were stunned for a moment, how could they not know that there was no misunderstanding at all, it was all to save them.
"My lord, we are incompetent." Ji Ling was the first to turn over and dismount, and when he fell to the ground, he was all ashamed.
Zhang Xun and the others were warm and excited in their hearts, and they all fell to the ground.
Qin Ye looked at the scene in front of him, "Yuan Highway also has an admirable side. β
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu, and there was no ridicule on his face, but a look of admiration.
It seems that although Yuan Shu is ambitious and talented, his behavior today is not a shame. It's a big heart of the Lord.
This made Xiahoudun and others can't help but think, if they were surrounded like this, would their lord also save himself like this?
Next, Cao Cao did not have any difficulty, let go of a road, Yuan Shu and them, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who were surrounded, left one after another.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yuan Shu returned to the camp, his face was very embarrassed, although none of them were injured by Ji Ling, but he just couldn't be happy in his heart.
Speaking of which, he really lost a lot this time. Cao Cao and Qin Ye did not lose much, but he lost 50,000 quintals of grain. If it weren't for the grain and grass reserves of his army of hundreds of thousands, he wouldn't have been able to get so much grain.
Ji Ling and the others entered the big tent and fell to their knees at that time.
Their feelings can no longer be explained in words, and they all want to repay the great kindness of the lord.
I'm afraid that only victory can be rewarded.
"Lord, why don't you raise your troops and horses, and take advantage of Cao Cao's retreat to cover his back road!" Ji Ling said.
Although the civil and military people looked at each other, they felt that what Ji Ling said made sense.
Who knows, after Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, he was suddenly furious and took the case, "Do you want to be shameless?" The fourth generation and third duke of my family, backtracking? You don't have a face, I still have a face. β
"Uh-huh....... At the very least, it's going to take a few months. β
Ji Ling and the others were originally very ashamed, but when they heard the last sentence, they pulled over.
However, Yuan Shu also has rules for saying this, he lost so much grain and grass, and there was a deficit in grain and grass. It will take a few months for the next season's grain and grass to come down.
In addition, Yuan Shu has done so much for Lu Bu, so naturally he has to wait for Lu Bu to pay too, and Qin Cao Lu is almost done, so he will send troops.
From this point of view, Yuan Shu is still very routine.
So the Huainan army went out of Huainan for the first time, ended in failure, and returned to Huainan.
And just two days ago, Puyang City.
Lu Bu summoned Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others to discuss the matter.
"Today, I got the news from Ji Ling's faction that he has seized Cao Cao's baggage." When Lu Bu said this, his eyes were blazing, "After Cao Cao and Qin Ye lost their baggage, their army was vulnerable. But if they are allowed to return to Chenliu smoothly, it will be a different matter. β
Lu Bu looked at everyone, "So, I plan to immediately send troops to intercept Cao Cao and Qin Ye's way." β
Chen Gong thought about it slightly, and felt that what Lu Bu said made sense. You must know that although LΓΌ Bu occupied most of Yanzhou, he still could not compare with Cao Cao and Qin Ye's coalition forces in terms of troops. So it was always on guard.
This is an opportunity to solve Cao Cao once and for all.
So, LΓΌ Bu asked Chen Gong Zhang Miao to hold Yanzhou, with 20,000 troops, to snipe Qin Ye and Cao Cao.
