Chapter 146 - A Fire That Decided the Battle of Guandu (Part II)
"Loyalty is against the ear, and the erection is not enough and conspiracy! My son and nephew have been victimized by the trial, how can I see the people of Jizhou again! ”
When the words fell, they wanted to draw their swords and kill themselves, but the people on their left and right saw this scene, hurriedly grabbed their swords, and persuaded: "Why did the public die so much? Yuan Shao didn't say it bluntly, and he would be captured by Cao Cao in the future. Since the public and Cao Gong have an old relationship, why not abandon the dark and turn to the light? ”
Just these two words woke up Xu You, and after thinking carefully in his heart, Xu You decided to abandon Yuan and join Cao.
Taking advantage of the night, Xu You secretly walked out of the camp and threw himself straight to Cao Zhai, but was taken down by the sergeant who was lurking in the dark and halfway.
Xu You looked at the sergeant, his face was unruly, and he shouted to him: "I am Cao Sikong's old friend, quickly inform me, say that Nanyang Xu You is coming to see!" ”
Hearing this, the sergeant hurriedly reported to the village.
At this time, Cao Cao had just undressed and rested, and when he heard that the sergeant outside the camp had fled to the village from Yuan's army, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Seeing Xu You standing outside the gate from afar, Cao Cao couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing, and joined hands together.
When he arrived at the tent of the Chinese army, before he could salute, Cao Cao bowed first.
Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xu You hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Gong is a big Han Sikong, I am a cloth cloth, why is he so humble?" ”
Cao Cao waved his hand and responded: "Gong Nai is an old friend, how dare he be on a par with a celebrity!" ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xu You thought of Yuan Shao's attitude towards him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he now finally knew the gap between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Sighing lightly, Xu Yu saluted Cao Cao, and then said: "I can't choose the master, succumb to Yuan Shao, but I don't listen to his words, I can't follow the plan, I will abandon it to see the old man, and I hope he will accept and appoint him!" ”
When Cao Cao heard Xu You's words, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Xu You's hands and said, "Ziyuan is willing to come, I will do everything!" May Ziyuan teach me to break Yuan Shao's plan! ”
"I once taught Yuan Shao to attack Xu Du with light cavalry, and attack each other head to tail!"
Xu You did not immediately tell Cao Cao how to break Yuan, but informed Cao Cao of the plan he had offered to Yuan Shao before. After Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked: "If Yuan Shao uses Ziyuan's words, I will be defeated!" ”
"How much is the military rations in the public today?"
Seeing Xu Yu asking, Cao Cao frowned slightly and sighed lightly: "It can be supported for a year!" ”
Xu You didn't believe what Cao Cao said, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid not!" ”
When Cao Cao heard Xu You say this, he knew that his words did not make Xu You believe it, so he hesitated for a moment and said to him: "There is half a year's ear!" ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xu You's face changed, he stood up angrily, walked out of the camp tent quickly, and snorted coldly at Cao Cao: "I am honest with each other, but the public is bullying me like this, isn't it what I want!" ”
Cao Cao saw Xu You leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward to stay: "Don't be angry, Ziyuan, let me tell you the truth, the food in the army can really support three months!" ”
Xu You chuckled lightly and snorted coldly: "Everyone in the world says that Meng De is a traitor, and it is indeed true today!" ”
When Cao Cao heard Xu You's words, he was not annoyed but said with a smile: "Don't you get tired of deceit!" ”
When the words fell, he whispered in his ear: "There is only this month's food in the army." ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was still unwilling to tell the truth, Xu You couldn't help but scolded loudly: "Cao Agui, don't hide it from me!" Your army is out of food! ”
Cao Cao heard Xu You's words, and couldn't help but be stunned: "How do you know? ”
Xu You sighed, and took out the book that Cao Cao gave to Xun Yu from the placket of his clothes to show it: "Who wrote this letter?" ”
Seeing the letter in Xu You's hand, Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaim: "Where did you get this letter?" ”
Xu You informed Cao Cao about his capture of the envoy, and Cao Cao heard Xu You's words, held his hand and sighed: "Ziyuan has come from his old friends, and he still wants to teach me!" ”
Xu You looked at Cao Cao's face, groaned slightly, and said: "Ming Gong resists the enemy with a lone army, and does not seek a quick victory, this is the way to die!" There is a strategy, but in three days, Yuan Shao's millions of people will break down without a fight, will Ming Gong still listen to it? ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart was overjoyed: "I wish to hear a good plan." ”
Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xu You also nodded to him: "Yuan Shao's army has a heavy amount of food and baggage, and it has accumulated a black nest, and now it is garrisoned by Chun Yuqiong. That Chun Yuqiong was drunk and unprepared, and the public could choose elite soldiers to falsely claim that Yuan General Jiang Qi led his troops here to protect the grain, and took the opportunity to burn his grain and grass, so that Yuan Shao's army would be in chaos within three days! ”
When Cao Cao heard about Xu You's plan, he was overjoyed and treated him seriously and kept it in his account.
The next day, Cao Cao personally selected 5,000 soldiers and prepared to go to Wuchao to rob grain.
Zhang Liao stood beside Cao Cao, his brows furrowed: "Yuan Shao's place for grain, is he unprepared?" The lord should not be taken lightly, I am afraid that there will be fraud! ”
Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Liao and shook his head: "Xu Yu is here, but Yuan Shao will be defeated in the sky!" Now that our army is short of food and grass, it is difficult to hold on for a long time, if you don't need to take a plan, you will sit and wait for sleep! If he is deceitful, Anken will stay in my village? And I want to rob the village for a long time! Today's act of robbing grain is imperative, don't doubt it! ”
Zhang Liao listened to Cao Cao's words, and he was still worried in his heart: "The lord must also prevent Yuan Shao from taking advantage of the weakness!" ”
After Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I am already familiar with it!" ”
After the words were finished, Cao Cao ordered Xun You, Jia Xu, and Cao Hong to garrison the camp with Xu You, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan led an army to ambush on the left side of the barracks, and Cao Ren and Sun Dian led an army to ambush on the right side of the barracks in case they were prepared.
Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were in front, Xu Huang and Yu Ban were behind, and Cao Cao personally commanded the generals in the center, leading 5,000 men and horses, under the banner of Yuan Jun, and all the sergeants were paid in Shucao.
At dusk, Cao Cao ordered the whole army to march towards the black nest.
That night, the sky was full of stars, and he was detained in the army by Yuan Shao, and when he saw his stars, he asked the watchman to take him out of the atrium and look up at the sky.
Suddenly, seeing Taibai retrograde, violating the distinction between cattle and fighting, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Disaster is coming!" ”
When the words fell, he begged to see Yuan Shao overnight.
At this time, Yuan Shao was already drunk and lying, and when he heard that there was a secret report, he summoned him to interrogate.
After entering the camp tent, he saluted Yuan Shao and said: "Lord Qiqi, I watched the sky at night, and saw Taibai retrograde between the willows and ghosts, and the streamer shot into the cattle and fights. Elite soldiers should be dispatched as soon as possible to patrol the sentry between the mountain roads, so as not to be counted by Cao Cao! ”
Hearing the words of the frustrated professor, Yuan Shao was furious in his heart, he thought that there was something wrong with the frustrated teaching, but he never thought that it was such words, and he couldn't help but scold: "You are a person who treats sinners, and you dare to confuse the public with vain words!" ”
Afterwards, Yuan Shao turned his attention to the sergeant who was watching, and reprimanded loudly: "I order you to imprison him and dare to release him!" ”
When the words fell, he ordered someone to behead the sergeant who was watching, and ordered others to be imprisoned and frustrated.
Frustrated, he left the camp tent, his heart was full of sorrow, and he couldn't help but sigh with tears: "Our army is dying, and my corpse does not know where to fall!" ”
On the other side, Cao Cao led the troops to travel at night, passing by Yuan Shao's village, and the soldiers asked where the military horses were, and Cao Cao responded: "I was ordered to go to Wuchao to protect food." ”
Yuan Jun saw that it was his own banner, and he did not doubt in his heart, wherever he passed, Cao Jun falsely claimed to be Jiang Qi's soldiers, and there was no obstacle along the way.
When he arrived at the place of the black nest, it was already the end of the fourth watch, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to raise torches, and all the soldiers clamored and went straight in.
At this time, Chun Yu Qiongfang and the generals drank wine, drunk and lying in the tent, heard the sound of applause, and hurriedly jumped up and asked: "Why is it noisy?" ”
Before he finished speaking, he was already dragged over by a hook.
Wei Yuanjin and Zhao Rui had just returned from transporting grain, and when they saw the fire on the tun, they rushed to help.
Cao Jun flew to Cao Cao and said: "The thieves are behind, please divide the army and refuse!" ”
Cao Cao heard the sergeant's flying report, groaned, and shouted: "The generals only care about moving forward, and only when the thief is behind can they return to the battle!" ”
When the words fall, all the armies will compete to be the first to cover up.
For a time, flames erupted and smoke swept the sky.
Wei Yuanjin and Zhao Rui drove troops to rescue, and when Cao Cao saw this scene, he led the army to return to the battle. The two generals couldn't resist the enemy, and they were all killed by Cao's army, and the grain and grass were burned to death.
As for Chun Yuqiong, who was dragged over by the hook, he was captured by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao looked embarrassed when he saw Chun Yuqiong, how could he have the appearance of the eighth captain of the West Garden in the past.
snorted contemptuously at it, and Cao Cao ordered someone to cut off Chun Yuqiong's ears, nose and fingers, tie him to the horse, and put him back in Yuan Shao's camp to humiliate him......
