Cao Cao was silent for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said: "What Wen Ruo said is good, it is true that I owe it to consideration, so let's continue to resist, I believe that opportunities will always come." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

However, it is easy to make up your mind, but it is really difficult to persevere, and soon there is a problem in front of you, that is, the problem of grain and grass, after less than half a month, the grain and grass in the army are urgent, at this time Cao Cao instructed his quartermaster Wang Gao to secretly reduce the use of the soldiers, and as a result, when the soldiers were angry and noisy, he killed Wang Yuan to calm the anger of the public, which slightly alleviated the problem of grain and grass.

However, after all, this was only a slight relief, because the grain and grass saved by sacrificing Wang Yuan's life were not enough for the soldiers to use for three or five days, so the problem of grain and grass was still very serious.

At this moment, Cao Cao's subordinate general Shi Jian suddenly came and said that he had captured a fine worker of Yuan Jun.

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered Shi Lian to bring the fine work, and he wanted to find out the details of Yuan Shaojun through the fine work.

As a result, after some inquiry, Cao Cao got the good news, that is, Han Meng, the general of Yuan Shaojun, was about to escort forty carts of grain and grass to the camp.

"This is a good opportunity, I must seize it!" After discussing with Xun Yu, Cao Cao decided to send Xiahou Yuan and Shi Jian together to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to rob Han Meng's grain cart, and take back the grain and grass for his own use.

After Xiahou Yuan and Shi Lian got the order, they immediately went to prepare, and led the army out of the camp at night, and sure enough, when they waited for Han Meng's grain truck, Xiahou Yuan and Han Meng were overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to attack.

Han Meng didn't panic when he saw that someone was robbing grain, and he fought with Shi Jian with great spirits, he originally saw that Shi Jian was just an ordinary general, not his opponent at all, but he didn't expect that the other party's bravery was not inferior to his own.

What's even more tragic is that just when Han Meng was fighting Shi Lian, Xiahou Yuan flew an arrow and shot him down, and then Han Meng was cut off by Shi Lian, who caught up with him.

Because Han Meng was killed, the lieutenant generals of Yuan Shaoying's battalion no longer had the heart to fight, and fled in all directions.

Xiahou Yuan not only killed Han Meng, the general of Yuan Shao's battalion, and successfully captured forty carts of grain and grass, but also recruited nearly 1,000 surrendered soldiers, and the mood was naturally very good, and at the same time, he also praised Shi Lian's martial arts again and again, and promised that he would vigorously recommend Shi Lian to Cao Cao after he returned.

When Xiahou Yuan returned to the camp, he was naturally warmly welcomed by Cao Cao, for his meritorious service, Cao Cao was highly praised, and promoted him to be the general of the expedition to the west, and Xiahou Yuan also recommended to Cao Cao the brave Shi Lian, Cao Cao was also very happy, and immediately appointed Shi Lian as the general of Yamen.

Shi Jian was originally just an ordinary captain, but after this battle, he was directly promoted several levels and became a general of Yamen, which was naturally appreciated and envied by everyone.

For Cao Cao, although talent is indeed very important, but now these forty carts of grain and grass really solve the urgent need, so that the army will not starve for at least half a month, but Cao Cao also knows that this grain and grass alone is not enough to support this war, so he immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Xu Du Sima Yi quickly.

This Sima Yi was originally a native of Wen County, Hanoi, from the Hanoi Shi clan, and his own talent is extraordinary, and he was recommended as Maocai (that is, Xiucai, in order to avoid the ridicule of Emperor Wu Liu Xiu, so he was renamed Maocai) so he thought very highly of himself, thinking that with his own talent, how could he mix a middle and senior position under Liu He's account, but he didn't expect Liu He to just meet with him, chat a few words, and let him go back and wait for the news, and then it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more news.

Sima Yi was very puzzled, and hurriedly asked someone to inquire about the news, but learned that Liu He thought he was too young and needed to make arrangements in a few years.

Sima Yi immediately knew that this was because Liu He didn't want to use himself, because there were many young people like him under Liu He's account, but Liu He never said who would wait for a few more years.

"Could it be that this Liu He knows my secret, so he doesn't need me? But only I know my secret, the destiny of heaven is in my dream, but the old fairy said it, I didn't even talk about it to my brothers and younger brothers, let alone tell others casually, but why is this Liu He so jealous of me? Forget it, there is no one here, there is a place to keep people, I will go to Cao Cao, I believe that with my wisdom and talent, I will soon emerge under him. ”

Sima Yi then made up his mind, moved his family to Xudu, and met Cao Cao, Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi was born in the Hanoi clan, and he was a little happy, and later after some conversation, he thought that this Sima Yi was outstanding, and his heart was naturally extremely happy, in order to express his trust, he immediately appointed Sima Yi as the East Cao Peng, and handed over the greatest power of the entire Sikong Mansion to Sima Yi.

And Sima Yi did not live up to Cao Cao's trust, and did his job very well, Cao Cao was very satisfied with this, this time he fought with Yuan Shao, in order to show his trust, he deliberately arranged Xun Yu, who should have guarded Xu Du, to fight with the army, and handed over the entire Xu Capital to Sima Yi to manage.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was furious, scolding Han Meng for being damned, but urgently discussing countermeasures on the other side.

At this time, he saw the late strategist Xu You smiled happily: "Lord, good news, good news, the official has just caught a fine worker, according to the detailed explanation, although the current Cao Cao is still insisting, but there is no food and grass in the army, at most it can only hold on for another ten days, this is a good news, we only need to cut off his grain channel, less than half a month, Cao Cao's army will inevitably be defeated without a fight." ”

Yuan Shao said suspiciously: "Cao Cao just robbed us of our grain and grass, and now he immediately said that there is no food, and the messenger sent to ask for help was caught by us, what kind of coincidence should this be?" Have you ever encountered such a coincidence? Anyway, I haven't met it, so I conclude that this is Cao Agui's trick. Don't be fooled. ”

However, I didn't expect that things were so coincidental, at this moment, someone handed over a letter, which was written by the judge who stayed in Yecheng, saying that Xu You's family members were traitors in Yecheng, and the impact was very bad.

Yuan Shao was immediately furious and scolded Xu You, saying that Xu You had no face to come up with ideas for him, Xu You left with a shameful face, and was ridiculed by some people during the period.

Xu You was about to commit suicide, but was stopped by the left and right, and suggested that he surrender to Cao Cao.

Xu You's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to turn against Cao Cao, so such a small person decided the trend of the entire Guandu War, and the opportunity that Cao Cao was waiting for came to come.
