Chapter 322: The Battle of Guandu is over

"Qiqi Da Sikong, there is a person outside who asks to see, who claims to be the old man of Da Sikong, Nanyang Xu Ziyuan. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh? Xu Ziyuan? He actually came, haha, God help me. Cao Cao was resting at this time, and when he heard that Xu You was coming, he immediately got up to greet him, and in the panic, he didn't even wear shoes, so he greeted him barefoot, because he knew that maybe his old friend Xu You was the turning point of this war.

Cao Cao's welcome naturally made Xu You extremely moved, Xu You immediately decided to take refuge in Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao all the truth of Yuan Jun's reality, and suggested that Cao Cao sneak attack Yuan Shao's grain storage location Wuchao at night, as long as Wuchao is lost, I believe that this time Yuan Shao will face the biggest defeat in his life.

Although Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, he showed unprecedented trust and generosity at this time, immediately accepted Xu You's suggestion, and decided to personally lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Wuchao at night and burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass.

"Brother Mengde, is this Yuan Shao's trick? How can you go on an adventure yourself? Why don't you let me lead the army, I believe that I will complete my mission. After everyone left, Cao Ren expressed his doubts and worries to Cao Cao, and took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Wuchao to find out the truth.

However, Cao Cao did not agree to Cao Ren's request, but said solemnly: "Zixiao, this matter is by no means false, I understand that he has always cherished himself, and he will never risk his life to me for the so-called scheme, and he also has a small family, so this time the refuge is absolutely true, as for the matter of going to Wuchao, this matter is related to the life and death of our army, I naturally cannot take it lightly, I believe that as long as I go in person, the soldiers will definitely forget their lives and fight desperately, Only in this way can we successfully capture the black nest, as for you, you are not a spectator here, you also shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the camp, I believe that Yuan Shao will definitely send heavy troops to attack the camp, you must guard it for me. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will swear to defend the camp to the death, if the camp is lost, I am willing to come to see it." ”

Then Cao Cao led the army and Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals, pretending to be Yuan Shao's sergeant, falsely claiming to be the reinforcements sent by the general Jiang Qi, deceived the interrogation sentry, and successfully came to Wuchao, after which Cao Cao deceived to open the city gate and launched a sudden onslaught on Wuchao.

The Yuan army suddenly encountered an attack, and there was a great chaos, but the guard general Chun Yuqiong did not panic after hearing the news, and immediately ordered the soldiers to resist to the death, and immediately ordered someone to report to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to send reinforcements immediately.

The news reached Yuan Shao's account, which immediately caused a boil, Yuan Shao immediately convened the strategists to discuss how to solve it, but it caused a controversy, some strategists agreed to send troops to help immediately, but some strategists did not think so, for example, Guo Tu proposed to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao's camp, and said that this was a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, he thought that as long as Cao Cao's camp was captured, Cao Cao's army would collapse without attacking.

This is obviously a bad idea, because Cao Cao has been fighting for many years, how can he be unprepared for such a thing? However, Yuan Shao didn't know which tendon was twitched, so he listened to it, he only sent a few people to support Wuchao, and ordered Lu Weihuang and Han Juzi to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Cao Cao's camp.

Lu Weihuang and Han Juzi were ordered to attack Cao Cao's camp, but they were resisted by Cao Ren's death, and fought fiercely all night, losing troops and generals, but not much progress, and on the other hand, Wuchao was in an emergency, although Chun Yuqiong was capable, but he could not resist the Cao army soldiers who fought desperately, especially Cao Cao, there were so many fierce generals, so, after a night of fighting, Chun Yuqiong finally could not support it, and the soldiers gradually fled, only Chun Yuqiong was still resolutely resisting, and finally was besieged by Cao Cao's generals, and then captured alive.

In fact, according to the meaning of the generals, it was to kill Chun Yuqiong immediately, but Cao Cao did not do this, but claimed to the outside world that the reason why Chun Yuqiong failed was because he was drunk and lying in the tent and neglected to take precautions, in order to be able to make people believe, Cao Cao even took out some wine from the wine cellar, ordered it to be forcibly poured into Chun Yuqiong's mouth left and right, and then let Chun Yuqiong leave.

After Chun Yuqiong went back to see Yuan Shao, she told what happened to her, but at this time, she saw Yuan Shao sneering and said: "Don't lie, look at you, the smell of wine in your body has not dissipated yet, Chun Yuqiong, I trust you so much, you actually guard the nest for me like this, I, Yuan Shao, am really blind." ”

Then he drank the order left and right, dragged Chun Yuqiong out and beheaded him.

Chun Yuqiong lamented when he was dying, he really didn't expect that he had followed Yuan Shao for so many years, and he still couldn't get his trust, and finally died in such a way.

And after Yuan Shao executed Chun Yuqiong, he got the news that Lu Weihuang and Han Juzi couldn't capture Cao Ying, so he looked at Guo Tu, meaning to explain to Guo Tu.

Guo Tu said that the second general did not do his best, it was the idea of surrendering to Cao Cao, the news came, the second general's face changed greatly, and after discussion, he decided to lead his troops to surrender, so that Cao Cao actually won Yuan Shao's two generals and nearly 20,000 troops in vain.

Then the news of the fall of Wuchao and the burning of grain and grass came, Yuan Shao's whole army fell into a panic, and since then the army's heart has collapsed, and Cao Cao has led the crowd to kill him, and the soldiers either scattered and fled, or laid down their arms and surrendered, and the 100,000-strong army collapsed in such an instant.

In the end, Yuan Shao, who was discouraged, and his generals fled back to Hebei with only 800 cavalry, and the huge force has since collapsed, and there is still a tendency for the ice to disintegrate.

At this time, although the shrewd and capable Sima Yi did not get news of Cao Cao, he also delivered grain and grass to the battlefield in time, which made Cao Cao

"Pass the order, continue to pursue and kill Yuan Shao, be sure to take advantage of the failure of Yuan Shao's army and capture Yecheng in one fell swoop, if you give him a chance to breathe, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Jizhou, not to mention that Liu and Xiao'er are now eyeing each other, if we are not fast enough, the fruits of victory will definitely be stolen by others."

At the end of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao did not take it lightly, and immediately raised his army and took advantage of the victory to launch an attack, resolutely not giving Yuan Shao a chance to breathe.

Cao Cao regained all the areas occupied by Yuan Shao in a short time, and incidentally also occupied part of Qingzhou, after which Cao Cao's army crossed the Yellow River and began to attack in the direction of Yecheng.

Originally, if it was the Guandu War in history, Yuan Shao owned the land of Sizhou, even if the Battle of Guandu failed, it did not hurt the fundamentals, Cao Cao did not dare to launch a full-scale attack immediately, but now Yuan Shao only has the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and he has to guard against the attack of Liu He's army, so he is simply unable to stop the attack of Cao Cao's army, and he is constantly defeated in a short period of time, and Cao Cao's army is attacked under the city of Yecheng.

The once mighty Yuan Shao Group is now facing the biggest crisis in its life.
