347 Double Happiness (Part II)
Cao Cao's treachery lies in the fact that he says the truth and lies together, which feels like nine points of truth and one point of falsehood in Liu Zhang's mouth. This kind of statement is easy to be verified in the mouth of outsiders, but that one point of falsehood is enough to kill. Liu Zhang warned himself to fight Cao Cao, as long as he firmly believed in one thing, that is, killing people was absolutely not nonsense, otherwise Cao Cao would induce him casually, and Liu Zhang would feel that he would definitely have a headache.
"I intercepted your military order to ask for military rations, and I went to offer advice at that time, but unfortunately after hearing it, Yuan Shao thought it was your Cao Cao's conspiracy and refused to believe it." Xu You was very angry, Yuan Shao missed the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao twice, and missed the opportunity to make him famous twice.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy: "Fortunately, Yuan Shao is suspicious, I don't know if Ziyuan has a strategy to break the enemy?" Looking at Xu You, Cao Cao still didn't tell his true situation, you must know that Liu Zhang gave him quite a lot of military rations, enough for Cao Cao to fight for half a year.
Xu You said with a smile: "All of Yuan Shao's military rations and materials are all in the black nest. The defenders of Wuchao Chun Yuqiong are just a good drinker and misguide, and they are not worth mentioning at all. If Brother Meng De personally led an iron cavalry to kill Wangwuchao overnight, and a fire burned Yuan Shao's supplies, Yuan's army would inevitably be defeated. At that time, he took advantage of the situation to seize grain and grass, and could even ambush the Yuan army who came to the rescue. "Xu Yu's plan is not ruthless, but in fact, this is just knowing some news and taking advantage of the trend.
Cao Cao nodded again and again and said, "Okay, that's very good, when the time comes, I will personally lead the iron horse forward." "Cao Cao is really happy in his heart, good things have happened again and again today, it seems that he Cao Cao is going to win. Liu Zhang first sold grain to him, although he asked for a lot of things, but everything was worth it after defeating Yuan Shao. Then Xu You actually came to vote, and brought such good news?
Xu You looked at Cao Cao so sure, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Brother Meng De is not afraid that I Xu You is lying?" Cao Cao believed his words so easily, which made Xu You very puzzled. How could he ask before, Cao Cao lied again and again, but now he is so sure?
Cao Cao smiled contemptuously: "I am not Yuan Shao, nor am I a mediocre master. As for the truth or falsehood, I know at a glance. "In fact, Cao Cao is very stable, he only needs to bring a few thousand cavalry for a sneak attack, and if there is an ambush, he will only lose some cavalry. What's more, now that he has food, he Cao Cao is not panicking.
Xu Yu with a sluggish face: "How can you see it?" ”
"Yuan Shao's army was defeated but did not retreat, there must be food. Secondly, if you come late at night, you will definitely have a big gift. Cao Cao saw it very clearly, when he played this trick, Xu You was not a strategist.
Xu Yu sighed again and again, compared to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, he was too smart. Whether it is decisiveness or self-confidence, he is much stronger than Yuan Shao: "I don't know when Brother Meng De is going to leave?" "This kind of thing must be as early as possible, otherwise Yuan Shao will learn that Xu Yu is here with Cao Cao, and Wuchao will inevitably defend it strictly.
"Without further ado, tonight I will lead more than ten fierce generals and 5,000 cavalry to the black nest immediately." Cao Cao was not only a decisive man, but also a man of action. Compared with Liu Zhang, Cao Cao is obviously much more diligent, and he will act immediately.
Xu You grabbed Cao Cao and said: "Brother Meng De should not only be careful when he goes here, but also remember that you don't have to entangle when you encounter Yuan Bing, and with the Yuan Army banner you obtained before, it is said that it is to reinforce Wuchao." However, Brother Meng De felt that the black nest was on fire, what would Yuan Shao do? Xu You looked at Cao Cao, the next step is the key.
Cao Cao didn't think about it and said, "Yuan Shao will definitely go to the rescue of Wuchao." "This is human nature and necessity.
Xu You frowned and said: "No, no, this is not necessarily, although Yuan Shao is usually mediocre, he has extraordinary actions at critical moments. Xu You has been following Yuan Shao for a long time, and this point is still somewhat understood.
After thinking for a while, Xu You said again: "What if Yuan Shao gives up the black nest and goes straight to your camp instead?" Although Wuchao is a place to store grain, there are still a few days of food in Yuan Shao's army. If the battle ends within a few days, the grain and grass will be burned. Xu You felt that Yuan Shao would attack Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Brother Tai is reasonable. "Is Xu Yu's refuge really a change in Xun Yu's words?
"Brother Meng De might as well leave an ambush in the camp and wait for Yuan Shao to come." If both sides lose, Yuan Shao will definitely lose. For Yuan Shao's inexplicable hatred, Xu Yu has increased unabated.
Cao Cao suddenly said: "No need, I will take all the troops in the camp away, leaving an empty camp for Yuan Shao, and I will take all the troops to kill Yuan Shao's camp." You must know that Yuan Shao's camp is much larger than my Cao Cao camp. "Cao Cao is not only crisp and neat, but also a man who is good at using soldiers.
The two chatted for a while and smiled, but finally Cao Cao said to Xu You: "Ziyuan, there is more than half a year of grain and grass in our army...... Looking at Xu You's stunned appearance, Cao Cao laughed and left.
Later, after Xu You asked others, he learned that Liu Zhang actually sold grain to Cao Cao, which was impossible in Xu You's opinion. He clearly remembered how Yuan Shao's envoy praised him when he returned. That Liu Zhang was really cowardly, and he treated him with such respect for a messenger, but I didn't expect Liu Zhang to really dare?
At this moment, Cao Cao has a calculating intention or not, so although Yuan Shao will think of the first step, he will never think of the second step. Tonight is the time when Yuan Shao will be defeated, and as the night gradually thickens, Cao Cao led his troops to the battle. Cao Ren and Xun You took the remaining soldiers and horses and prepared to attack Yuan Shao's camp after Yuan Shao's army left the camp. As for Cao Ying, it was left to Yuan Shao, which could be regarded as venting for Yuan Shao.
A group of cavalry followed the road and went towards the black nest in the starry night, and at this moment, the guard of the black nest, Chun Yuqiong, was drinking beautifully. Seriously, this position is really good, far from the battle line and heavily guarded. In addition, there is a lot of food here, so you don't have to worry about going hungry. The position is safe and simple, except that the absence of women is simply the most enjoyable part of fighting.
A bowl of wine and a piece of meat in the stomach, Chun Yuqiong felt almost the same. He slumped over the bed on the side, not at all worried about the arrival of enemy troops. To know what kind of leadership there is, there will naturally be what kind of soldiers. After Chun Yuqiong fell asleep, the soldiers on duty also fell to the side, and the calm of the months had completely lost their vigilance.
Marching to the front, Cao Cao couldn't see how tightly defended the barracks were at a glance. What Xu You said is really good, the guard here is definitely a man with wine bags and rice bags. Thousands of cavalrymen drew their torches and lit them one after another, and rushed all the way to the front of the barracks in the blink of an eye, breaking through the fence and entering the camp.
A handful of flames were thrown everywhere, and the fire oil was sprinkled on the granary in the distance, and the fire burned in an instant. At this time, Chun Yuqiong was shouted by the soldiers, and when she was in a daze, there was already a raging fire outside, and the firelight illuminated the entire camp. At this moment, Chun Yuqiong finally woke up, but he also knew that he was going to be finished.
The fire not only burned the grain and grass, but also burned a lot of soldiers, and with the massacre of Cao's army, the entire camp had no place to stay. Chun Yuqiong was ready to run away under the cover of the remnants, and Cao Cao didn't want such a little food, but was ready to ambush reinforcements. Even if the grain here is burned, it is estimated that a lot will remain, and I will be thinking about it when the time comes. It doesn't matter how much you can save if you can't, anyway, Cao Cao is not short of food now.
When the Wuchao fire was burning, Yuan Shao had already discovered it. Immediately, a soldier went in to tell Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao, who was obviously a little dazed, didn't lift the quilt violently until he heard the fire of the black nest and rushed out: "It's broken, it's broken, why did Cao Cao go to the black nest?" This fire destroyed my nest and destroyed millions of military rations. Yuan Shao couldn't sit still at the moment, and kept walking back and forth in the camp.
Yuan Tan hurriedly came out and said: "Father Cao Jun must not have gone far at this moment, let's go out to rescue Wuchao immediately." "Grain and grass are definitely the top priority, and without food and grass everything is in vain.
Yuan Shang also said on the side: "Once the grain of Father Shuai Wuchao is destroyed, the army will not be able to hold on to the grain and grass for a few days, and the army will definitely not be able to last for a long time." It's better to take advantage of Cao Cao's whole army to dispatch now, and we will intercept Cao's army halfway and fight him to the death. "At this moment, it is already a time of critical survival, if you hesitate tomorrow, you will definitely be defeated.
Yuan Shao listened for a while, but suddenly calmed down, and for a long time Yuan Shao suddenly said: "Cao Cao burned my army food in Wuchao, so it must be the whole army, even if it is not, most of the soldiers and horses will be dispatched." In this way, the Guandu camp must be extremely empty. In that case, why don't we send troops to attack Cao's camp? Yuan Shao thought about it, this is the right rhythm.
The scene was quiet for a while, and Yuan Tan immediately said: "Father, let's send troops immediately, the opportunity should not be missed." "Everyone present asked for battle.
Yuan Shao only had the taste of the master at this time: "Order, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, follow me to the Cao military camp, Jiang Qi and others go to the Wuchao to rescue, and set off immediately." With Yuan Shao's order, everyone moved forward.
It's a pity that Cao Cao had already laid an ambush on the way to this time, but Jiang Qi came with troops but was killed by Cao Cao. After reorganizing the army and horses, Cao Cao immediately took the remaining men and horses towards Yuan Shao's camp. This time, Yuan Shao poured out of the nest, and he must have captured the Cao military camp. But on the way to Cao's camp, everyone suddenly received a herald from the rear......
"My lord, the Cao army took advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to attack our officers' camp. There are not many soldiers in the camp, and it has been occupied by Cao's army at the moment. The soldier spoke quickly and urgently.
After Yuan Shao heard this, his body shook and shook on the horse. Yang Tian scolded angrily: "Cao thief is treacherous, Xu Yu harms me." After saying a word, Yuan Shao spurted out a mouthful of old blood and fell directly off the horse. The battle seemed to have been reversed in an instant, which made the arrogant Yuan Shao unacceptable at all. 10
