With Gan Ning's naval army, it was easy to transport Cao Cao's 5,000 soldiers and horses across the river. Cao Cao ordered Li Dian to be in front, and after Le Jin, he personally led the Chinese army straight to Yiyangju. After all, there was a Yellow River, and Gan Ning was worried about Cao Cao's safety, so he persuaded Cao Cao to agree, and asked Cao Zhen to take the marines to find a place to hide on his own in the north of the bank, ready to meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao and Cao Zhen agreed that Tianming would be limited, and if Cao Cao failed to return, Cao Zhen would immediately lead his troops to support. As for Gan Ning, he hurried to Yan County with the rest of the people, preparing to send Lu Bu's soldiers and horses across the river. Speaking of Gan Ning's subordinates are naval troops, but unfortunately there has not even been a real water battle on the Yellow River, except for destroying the pontoon bridge on the river and entangled with Xun Chen for a while, he has done a lot of things to send people across the river.

However, Gan Ning also knew in his heart that he was the only one in the naval army on the Yellow River, and it was reasonable that there was no battle. Moreover, with his naval army, Cao's army's mobility ability was greatly enhanced, and transporting soldiers and horses was also an extremely important thing in a battle. This time, Cao Cao attacked Yiyang Ju, if it went smoothly and he retreated, who would dare to say that there was no credit for his navy in this?

In the morning, Cao Jun was sent across the river bank from near Puyang, and in the evening he had already arrived in Yan County, and began to prepare for the 15,000 soldiers and horses under Lu Bu to cross the river. By the time Gan Ning arrived in Yan County, Cao Cao had already relied on Jiang Qi's name and the two Hebei retinues under Xu You to successfully pass the four interrogations of Yuan Jun. After all, the two entourages are from Hebei, and a mouthful of Hebei dialect is not easy to arouse suspicion from others. What's more, the two of them have been following Xu You for a long time, and they are Xu You's cronies, and they are also clear about many things in Yuan Shaojun, and they will not show flaws when asked.

As for why Cao Cao crossed the river from Puyang, the reason is also very simple, after all, the other bank of the white horse where he is stationed is Liyang, and if he crosses the river from here, there is a chance that Yuan Jun will find out. Puyang is only 100 miles away from Baima, cross the river from Puyang, go straight north is Yiyang Ju, and compared with Liyang, the distance is more than ten miles. Moreover, now that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are in Baima Anza, it is easier to impersonate Yiyangju from this direction.

In fact, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses all crossed the Yellow River from the end of the Chen period, marched all the way, plus Yuan's army checked, and rested for half an hour at a distance of fifteen miles from Yiyangju, and finally arrived at Yiyangju, the place where Yuan's army hoarded grain. Cao Jun was originally a soldier and horse pretending to be Jiang Qi, and the things that ignited the fire along the way were all in the car, but he was not suspected. It wasn't until after the rest was completed that Cao Cao ordered that all the sergeants should be paid with grass, the horses should pick up the bells, and the soldiers should be divided into three ways and rush to Yiyang.

Outside the Yiyang gathering, Cao Cao saw that the guards of the Yuan army were not strict, and the soldiers on duty at night were even more drowsy, and his heart was overjoyed. The sentinel came to report that the grain and grass camp was only five miles in radius, and there were only two gates in front and back, and Cao Cao had a plan in his heart. Then he called Li Dian and Le Jin: "Now it is the fourth watch, and the garrison of the Yuan army is lax, and it is the time to use the plan." Manchester City, you bring 1,500 soldiers and horses, set fire from the left, Wen Qian, you from the right. While setting fires, they rushed to the back door of the camp. I will take the rest of the soldiers and horses, break in through the front door, attract the attention of the enemy, you two rush to the back door as soon as possible, after the rendezvous, go directly to Dazhai, and burn its grain, grass and ordnance for me. Under the front and back attacks, it can be done! ”

When Li Dian and Le Jin heard this, they agreed and hurriedly took the soldiers and horses around from the left and right sides. Cao Cao Dan saw that the flank of the enemy army Dazhai was on fire, so he immediately pulled out the sword at his waist and waved it forward: "Make a meritorious service, just now!" Soldiers, kill with me! For a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the sound of killing was everywhere. The sleepy guards on duty at the gate of the wall, woke up when they boarded, but it was already a little too late, the gate of the village was broken by the Cao army, the shouts of the enemy attack, and the sound of the gong of the early warning resounded with the Yuan army for a while.

At the fourth watch, everyone was sleeping soundly, and suddenly encountered an enemy attack, and the camp was in chaos. Chun Yuqiong, who was sleeping peacefully in the village, was even more awakened by the shouting of killing, got up suddenly, and urgently ordered the guards to give him armor. Han Juzi and Lu Weihuang, who were guarding the village together, were as good as Chun Yuqiong. Speaking of Chun Yuqiong's ability, it is indeed not as unbearable as described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although it was attacked at night, at least it was not shocked. When he walked out of the big tent and shouted the order to fight back, Yuan Jun, who was still in chaos, seemed to have found the backbone of the backbone all of a sudden, and kept gathering around Chun Yuqiong. By the time Lu Weihuang and Han Juzi gathered their troops and horses to organize a counterattack, Chun Yuqiong had already fought with Cao Jun in Dazhai.

Speaking of Chun Yuqiong at this moment, he was also surprised and happy in his heart. As the oldest general in Yuan Shao's army, since the beginning of the war, he has received the task of guarding grain and grass. Now that the war has been fought for nearly a year, he still bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the grain and grass. Although grain and grass are the most important thing, everyone understands that if this battle is won by Yuan's army, it will be able to sweep the world. Although Chun Yuqiong is an old friend of Yuan Shao, he still wants to go to the battlefield to fight for merit and seek wealth for his descendants.

But Yuan Shao has always asked him to guard the grain and grass, which makes Chun Yuqiong's heart quite unhappy, although Yuan Shao trusts himself, so he puts the lifeblood of the whole army into his own hands. But how can guarding grain and grass compare to the feats of capturing the flag on the battlefield? Especially after retreating to Yiyangju, this place is in Jizhou, and there are several cities around it that can support it, and Chun Yuqiong doesn't think there will be any problems with grain and grass. But Yuan Shao still didn't mean to transfer him to the front line, so he was depressed every day, so he could only drink some wine with Zhao Rui and the others to relieve the dissatisfaction in his heart. Yesterday, Zhao Rui escorted the grain and grass to Yuan Shao's camp, and he hadn't returned yet, Chun Yuqiong had no drinking friends, and he was just a taste, who would have thought that there would really be such a moth tonight.

But it was this sudden change that made Chun Yuqiong very happy, and he who organized the soldiers and horses to counterattack, recognized the commander of the Cao army who came to attack the camp at a glance. He and he were both generals under He Jin back then, and they were also listed as the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, although they had not seen him for many years, but how could Cao Cao's face be pure and unrecognizable to Qiong? Cao Cao dared to attack the camp with such a small number of soldiers and horses, and his courage was really extraordinary. If it weren't for himself in the camp, maybe this surprise attack, a fire, and the camp roar would be unavoidable, and Cao Jun might have retreated. From a tactical point of view, it can be regarded as a good move. It's just that now that he is in the camp, Yuan Jun has now passed the initial panic and started a counterattack under his own leadership. Han Juzi and Lu Weihuang have also made some moves and rushed to support, but they are afraid that Cao Cao will not be able to burn the grain and grass this time, and even his own life will be sent here! If he can take Cao Cao's head, in this war, who else has a greater fighting function than himself?

Thinking of this, Chun Yuqiong shouted loudly above the battle array, commanding the battle on the one hand, and boosting morale on the other. Seeing Cao Cao rushing to kill in the middle of the army, he shouted: "Cao Apu is there, killing his lord will definitely be rewarded, kill me all!" "As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, Chun Yuqiong has commanded properly, and his own soldiers are even more brave to kill the enemy, which can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the morale of the army. Now he used heavy rewards to stimulate his subordinates to fight, and for a while, the morale of Yuan's army was completely reversed from the panic of being raided. Except that he hasn't found out how to recognize which one is Cao Jun's soldiers, but Cao Cao is easy to recognize, and he looks like a general with a helmet and armor, and he is as conspicuous as standing out on this battlefield.

Cao Cao on the battlefield naturally saw Chun Yuqiong, who commanded Ruoding, just as Chun Yuqiong recognized Cao Cao at a glance, and Cao Cao also recognized Chun Yuqiong at a glance. Seeing that Yuan Jun gradually broke free from the panic at the beginning, seeing that Yuan Jun continued to step forward to block the attack, and constantly Yuan Jun covered the earth to extinguish the fire, he secretly praised Chun Yuqiong's ability in his heart. Yuan Jun is not like Cao Jun, who has had sufficient training for things like night raids during weekday training, and once a night attack occurs, the soldiers will hardly panic, and will only gather layer by layer to resist the attack as they do on weekdays. And Yuan Jun does not have these trainings, but he can cope with the appearance in front of him in this sneak attack, and Chun Yuqiong's ability can be imagined.

Cao Cao did not have many troops, and now the Yuan army is counterattacking under the command of Chun Yuqiong, and for a while Cao Cao's situation is a little bad, but fortunately, the Tiger Guard Army is under the leadership of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and it is hard to fight, which can be regarded as barely blocking the counterattack of the Yuan army. Chun Yuqiong saw that the situation was very good now, and even gave an order, Han Juzi directly led his troops forward, preparing to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop. Who knew that at this moment, he suddenly heard the rear army in turmoil, Chun Yuqiong frowned, and hurriedly sent someone to find out what was going on.

Not long after, the sentinel reported that Cao's army had attacked the rear camp and set fire everywhere, and most of the grain and grass had now been engulfed in flames. Cao Jun has already killed through the back village and is killing this side. When Lu Weihuang heard this, he hurriedly said: "General, now that the grain and grass are missing, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to explain it, so I will take someone to save it." ”

Chun Yuqiong immediately shook his head when he heard this: "Just let a lieutenant do this, Cao Cao is in front of him, as long as he kills him, it doesn't matter if the grain and grass are burned out!" Lu Weihuang, you immediately bring someone to help Han Juzi, and make sure to kill Cao Cao here. The Cao army that came from behind, I will stop you, you don't have to worry. ”

Lu Weihuang nodded when he heard this, the meaning of killing Cao Cao Chun Yuqiong just didn't say it, he also understood it in his heart, and then gave an order, and took the soldiers and horses to fight Cao Cao directly. Li Dian and Le Jin's soldiers and horses were killed, and there was also a fierce battle with Chun Yuqiong's defenders. Li Dian and Le Jin were even in the midst of the melee, bringing their soldiers and horses closer to Cao Cao. Although Cao's army did not have many soldiers and horses, it was more elite in comparison. Although Yuan's army had 20,000 soldiers and horses, the initial fire attack and chaos also caused a lot of casualties, and the two sides were evenly matched for a while.

The sky was already bright, and Chun Yuqiong saw that she still couldn't take Cao Cao, and she was even more anxious in her heart. Winter is dry, and even if the captain takes someone to save it, I'm afraid there won't be much grain and grass left. If Cao Cao can't be left here, he will not be able to eat this time and walk away. Before he was about to give the order to attack, he only heard the sound of the horn, and Chun Yuqiong was even more overjoyed in his heart, only to see a person outside the camp arrive on a flying horse, and shouted: "General Chun Yu, don't panic, Zhao Rui is here!" ”
