Chapter 162 The Battle of Yuzhou (4)
"Our army has lost three battles in a row, and the soldiers have been lost, how good is this!"
Yuan Shu lay on the table, and suddenly felt annoyed, although the Sun family army reduced its losses, it was still defeated, and Yuan Shu had no cards in his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, he had the advantage of 100,000 soldiers and horses, but he was defeated by himself; Originally, he would not have been so defeated if he went directly to Xun Gang, and maybe he could have won many results.
But it's all too late, now Ji Ling has died unjustly, nearly half of the soldiers and horses have been lost, and the grain is approaching, and it has reached the most difficult time.
If the sergeant mutinied, wouldn't he die here after he became famous?
When the time comes, Yuan Shao, who will come out...... He will laugh at his own grave and laugh at his own incompetence.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu was furious and shouted in a low voice: "No, I Yuan Highway can't sit still!" I am the one who wants to become the emperor of the Yuan family! ”
Suddenly, there was a shout, and the drowsy generals under the tent were scared half to death. They didn't know why Yuan Shu, who had been hungry for three days, suddenly became motivated, but they knew that Yuan Shu couldn't come up with any good ideas.
It had been almost three days since they had been besieged in Yanling, and it seemed that they were already planning to wait quietly for death.
Yuan Shu got up angrily, looked at the map of Yuzhou and Yanzhou on the wall, as if he had made some decision, and said: "I need to break through immediately and go to Chen Liuguo!" Zhang Miao is kind and charitable, and he will treat us well! ”
Although Nanyang is a large county, it is extremely difficult to recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to the 20,000 or 30,000 people in Nanyang, there are tens of thousands in other counties and counties, as well as tens of thousands of people who forcibly recruited people's husbands.
Due to the defeat and the low morale of the whole army, the soldiers died or fled in the past few days, and only more than 40,000 of the 100,000 soldiers and horses remained. And these 40,000 people are restless, as if they are ready to flee at any moment.
When the generals heard that Yuan Shu was finally planning to break through, they thanked God in their hearts and enthusiastically contributed their strategies.
After several discussions, Yuan Shu decided to start from the blind spot of Xun Gang's defense, which was the vacancy in the northeast corner. This empty Xun Gang has long been there, just waiting for Yuan Shu to escape, who knows that it took so long for him to notice, it is really laughable.
That night, Yuan Shu, under the cover of a group of cronies, set out to lead the troops to break through. Those guards had already received orders, feigned resistance, and let Yuan Shu flee to the northeast.
"Lord, Yuan Shu is gone!"
Xun Gang, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly got a message from Guo Jia, nodded in a daze, turned his head and fell asleep again.
He is "growing his body" and is naturally lethargic.
Guo Jia saw Xun Gang like this, he couldn't cry or laugh, Xun Gang was idle, not only did he have someone to do everything politically; Even militarily, he can't interject, who makes him not understand how to fight?
Guo Jia came out of the tent, and the corners of his eyebrows were slightly curved, which seemed to be because the wind was too strong at night.
Thinking that tomorrow he would have to arrange soldiers to take back the whole county of Yingchuan, Guo Jia shook his head, it seems that he still has to be busy with military affairs tonight......
Guo Jia sneezed inadvertently.
Yuan Shu ran ten steps and was about to turn back, afraid that Xun Gang would chase after him; ran for more than ten miles, until he received the news of the scout, saying that Xun Gang was not chasing, that Yuan Shu relieved himself and reduced the speed of the march.
It is a great shame that I was made to flee in a hurry by this white-headed calf!
Yuan Shu was too nervous in the past few days, remembering that day he was defeated by the "King Wen", only to realize that Xun Gang did all the strange things that day, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "Baitou calf, I, Yuan Shu, will let you die at my hands in this life!" …… No, I'm going to cut you with a thousand knives, like Yu She! ”
There seemed to be a meteor in the starry sky, and then it was silent.
"Which bald calf is the Highway General trying to kill?"
A sharp laugh suddenly came from the dense forest, Yuan Shu had almost been frightened for the past few days, and he almost fell off his horse in fright when he heard this sound.
In the dense forest, a not tall figure rode out slowly, and his face was almost impossible to see in the darkness, but Yuan Shu relied on his memory and asked tentatively: "But Cao Mengde?" ”
Under the moonlight, Cao Cao's face appeared extremely clear, dressed in gold lacquer armor, and draped in a blue brocade robe on his shoulders; The copper beast on his waist glared at Yuan Shu viciously, his sword was full of light, and he was very brave.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu, who was extremely frightened, and said with a light smile: "Why is General Yuan so frightened, so afraid of me Cao Mengdehu?" I remember when General He was under Luoyang, he looked down on me, a cavalry lieutenant who was born as a eunuch! ”
Yuan Shu values his background the most, which is also the reason why he thinks he is superior; Cao Cao's ancestor was a eunuch, so he naturally looked down on him, but he didn't expect that now, he would fall into the hands of this eunuch's heir.
Where's that? This Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu quickly disagreed, and Cao Cao was subordinate to Yuan Shao, and he and Yuan Shu also had a hostile relationship. Now that he met Cao Cao in this dense forest, Yuan Shu would not feel that he did not have the slightest ambush.
"Damn, just out of the tiger's mouth, like a wolf's den!"
Now, Yuan Shu has to be soft-mouthed to survive his own life: "Meng De, you and I Cao and Yuan are world friends, why bother brothers to attack each other?" Would you like to let us go? ”
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Cao Yuan is a world friend, and Yuan Fenggong is also kind to me, it stands to reason that you and I should live in peace and put an end to mutual attacks." ”
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to ride his horse away, but Cao Cao's words suddenly changed: "But this is a matter of the previous generation, and you and I should naturally settle accounts clearly!" ”
"You!"
Yuan Shu was shocked, and before his words fell, he suddenly saw Cao Cao's serious face and pulled out the Qingyu sword at his waist. As if absorbing the essence of moonlight, the Qingyu Sword bloomed with a white light.
"Charge the whole army!"
At the sound of an order, I suddenly heard a burst of shouts rushing to the sky, or like thunderbolts, or like thunder...... The mountains and forests are rolling, and the trees are swaying, as if the wind is not stopping, and the mountains and forests are roaring.
The five thousand soldiers and horses in ambush in the dense forest roared like tigers descending from the mountain, and the wolves danced together, like thousands of troops and horses, and I don't know how many enemies there were; After a burst of killing, the Yuan army was defeated, losing more than 1,000 soldiers, and countless people surrendered.
"Cao Mengde, I, Yuan Highway, must wash today's shame in blood!"
Yuan Shu put down a cruel word, led the remaining remnants of the soldiers to leave in embarrassment, and went to Zhang Miao to stay in Chenliu.
Cao Cao watched from a distance behind him and sneered: "Want to be ashamed? How could I, Cao Mengde, be defeated by an ant like you? ”
"Class teacher!"
The news of Cao Cao's big break of Yuan Shu came to Xun Gang the next day, Xun Gang was very depressed when he heard it, he spent so much effort to drive Yuan Shu away, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to pick up a big bargain. 5,000 wins 40,000, which is enough for Cao Cao to brag about for a year.
"This Cao Cao is really treacherous, I will wait for the loss of the soldiers to break the armor, and the casualties will be ten thousand people to drive Yuan Shu away, he is good, wait for us to defeat Yuan Shu, and pick up the cheap ourselves!"
Xun Gang was indignant, so he almost ran directly to Dongjun to grab Cao Cao's neck and scolded him.
Dian Wei on the side was also extremely unhappy: "The last time in the battle of Xingyang, he Cao Cao directly left me and waited for him to escape, and let me wait to fight alone!" I thought that this time he would be a little more restrained, but I didn't expect that he would still be so shameless and reap the benefits! ”
Speaking of Xingyang Xungang again, just when he was about to have a seizure, Guo Jia stopped him: "Lord, it's been three days, don't mention it." Although Cao Cao's behavior is extremely shameful, it can also show that his ability is extraordinary, and he will not lose troops to help us for no reason. This person only cares about his own interests, and it is not appropriate to form an alliance with him. ”
"The knot is over, give up at this time, for fear of provoking criticism from others......"
Xun Gang's eyes rolled slightly, and he thought about it: "Did Yuan Shu enter Chen Liu, and use tricks to drive away Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao?" ”
Zhang Miao is one of the eight chefs, who is kind and charitable, and will support Yuan Shu when he sees difficulties; It is difficult to know that Yuan Shu not only did not thank him, but seized Chen Liu like his brother Yuan Shao and drove Zhang Miao away. Zhang Miao had no choice but to take refuge in his late Cao Cao, while Yuan Shu continued to develop his influence in Chenliu, seemingly looking for an opportunity to go south to Yangzhou.
Dongjun and Chen Liuyi are one south and one north, look up and don't look down, Yuan Shu Cao Cao will fight sooner or later.
But just fighting, Xun Gang is not happy, Cao Cao has eaten such a big bargain, how can he not suffer a loss? Immediately ordered: "Fengxiao, you immediately write an edict, express Cao Cao as Chen Liutai, and send it to Chang'an!" ”
Guo Jia immediately understood what Xun Gang meant, and put Cao Cao's territory in the hands of Yuan Shu, and the two sides would inevitably be dissatisfied. Even if Cao Cao can endure it, he will still stay in Dongjun, but Yuan Shu will definitely not tolerate it, he will definitely take the opportunity to exterminate Cao Cao, and at the same time have Dongjun and Chenliu County, and then occupy Yanzhou......
But if you want to destroy Cao Cao, rely on your Yuan Shu's ability...... It's just a dream! Xun Gang just wanted to teach Cao Cao a lesson, lest he think that victory would come so easily!
The short-lived alliance between Xun Cao collapsed so easily.
