Chapter 260: Reinforcements are coming
The Hanoi army's Zhenggu, who was originally nothing more than a bandit, later defected to Zhang Yang, the general of Hanoi's Taishou Anguo, and later took Zhang Yang's place, repeatedly oscillating between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Finally, Cao Cao captured Hanoi and expelled it, which led to the Battle of Guandu.
Since this battle, Zhenggu has completely fallen to Yuan Shao's side. At this moment, he is stationed on the west side of Yecheng with 3,000 men and horses. Ready to lead men and horses to kill Cao Jun at any time.
He was born with dysentery, his hair was shaved, he was dressed like a bearded man, and he carried a curved bow on his back, and he looked very lean. He looked into the distance with a pair of eagle eyes, and the high platform erected by Cao Cao was particularly eye-catching.
One of his henchmen, the brother who had been a thief with him, said: "Boss, do we really want to work hard for the Yuan father and son?" Now that the old man surnamed Yuan is dead, and the little one won't live long, we can't take our lives on the line, right? β
If it weren't for the brothers who broke together, they couldn't wait to kick it up, and they were all on the verge of killing the enemy, and if they said such shocking words, wouldn't they be looking for death?
He exhaled heavily: "There is still a way to live with the surname Yuan, and it is decided to follow Cao ***." β
The man continued to ask, "Why?" β
He said: "We have betrayed Cao Cao, Cao Cao, this person, there is no room for sand in his eyes." β
The man said, "Then just go up the mountain and be a thief." β
He said angrily: "you, you have to be a thief, and you should be a thief yourself." β
Suddenly four horses came up from the crowd, and the people on the horses looked to be their own, but their faces were never seen.
"Who are you?"
"Sun Qing." "Zhang Baiqi." "Wang Guang." "Li Nong."
"Huh? Montenegrin Army? β
"Exactly, our Zhang Feiyan is handsome, and I want to invite the general to go up the mountain to meet together."
"What are you kidding? Lao Tzu has long stopped being a thief, what does it have to do with you gang of thieves? What does he want to do? β
"I want to borrow your head."
"Ahh
Obviously, his own descendants were all there, but when these four people stepped forward, the brothers who had originally followed him ignored them, as if they were looking at a dead person, and even pursed their lips tightly.
"Someone's coming...... What are you going to do? Helpβ"
The most loyal henchman also closed his eyes at this time, and when he opened his eyes, Zhang Bai had an extra head on his hand, and the eyes on his head were protruding, and there was already a corpse lying on the ground.
Zhang Bai rode and said: "Everyone, there is good wine and meat on the mountain, and everyone is their own brothers when they go up the mountain." This head should be regarded as a gift to Cao Cao in the future. β
The solid henchman asked, "Is our Black Mountain Army also going to join Cao Cao?" β
Zhang Bai rode and said: "I don't know, the big boss seems to have this plan." You also know that our Montenegrin Army was originally the official title of the Han Dynasty, and it was a serious official army, but it was only because of Yuan Shao that it became a thief, and now that Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao, won't we restore our official body? β
The henchman smiled and said: "Great, if it weren't for the rigidity of this person, we would have taken refuge in Cao Cao a long time ago." In these days, what could be better than being an official soldier? β
The 3,000 people of the Hanoi army immediately dispersed from the battlefield, and even Cao Cao on the high platform looked puzzled, thinking that Yuan Shang was going to use some strange tricks?
Yuan Shang was already angry, he learned the news at the general dispatch office at the city gate, and he almost cut down the herald who reported the news.
"What do you want to do? Don't want to live anymore? What good did it do him to take refuge in Cao Cao? β
The judge next to him reminded: "They are going west, it seems that they are not going to the opposite side, if they want to take refuge in Cao Cao, they should defect to the battle." β
How can that be? Could it be the Montenegrin Army? Yuan Shang scolded: "What does the Black Mountain Army want to do? β
The Montenegrin army has disappeared for so long, and it is really scared by Yuan Shao. However, when Yuan Shang thought about it, he was still full of fear for the Black Mountain Army. When Yecheng was captured by the Montenegrin army, Yuan Shao's family fled overnight, and the young Yuan Shang also had a psychological shadow back then.
"Report-" A loud voice came: "Cao's army begins to attack the city!" β
The Hanoi army withdrew, and the threat of Cao Cao's flank was suddenly smaller, Cao Cao ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to defend the other side, and he himself advanced directly with the Chinese army and began the official siege of the city.
The newly recruited soldiers of the Beida Battalion are so tender that they can't even pull up when they get to the battlefield.
In order to boost morale, Yuan Shang personally went to the southern city wall to direct the battle. He was dressed in filial piety clothes, looked very much like Yuan Shao, and his instrument was magnificent, and he won the recognition of some soldiers at once. Everyone fought bravely, and even repelled Cao Cao's attacks several times in a row.
But there are still many soldiers who are unclear about the changes in the Yuan family and their own prospects, so they are a little forward-looking between offense and defense. The Cao army did not attack violently, so that the position at the head of the wall tore a few cracks at once, and it was all thanks to the elite guard battalion left by Yuan Shao that the enemy army was repulsed.
"Third son, look, reinforcements are coming from the east!"
Just as the battle was deadlocked, suddenly a force came from the east, and it was mighty. After arriving at the battlefield, he immediately began to adjust the formation and played the flag.
"Yuan!"
"Uh...... Is it the troops of the plains? β
Yuan Shang was a little surprised, but soon, seeing Yuan Tan's troops, he immediately turned to Cao Cao and rushed towards Cao Cao's troops.
It's really here to save him.
"Second brother...... It worked? Yuan Shang muttered.
The judge beside him said, "Great, there is hope now." β
There are a lot of troops from the plains, relying on Yuan Shao's blood transfusion in recent years, Qingzhou is a place of martial arts and bravery, Yuan Tan is a place of martial arts, and Haosheng recruited some troops. At this time, there were nearly 8,000 people, and they were still the core troops who had been following him to fight.
Cao Cao was caught off guard all of a sudden, and was attacked by these troops, and the arrogance of the siege suddenly weakened.
The soldiers of Yuan Shang at the head of the city couldn't help shouting, since Yuan Tan's troops were here, it meant that the brothers of the Yuan family did not turn against each other, which was undoubtedly good news for them. Anyway, they are all working for the surname Yuan, as long as there is no internal division, then even if Yuan Shao dies, they can work with peace of mind. But if Yuan Tan is on Cao Cao's side, then it is difficult to figure out who he is working for.
Cao Cao slapped his head on the high platform and said angrily: "Is Yuan Tan crazy? His daughter's life is gone? β
Xun You immediately said: "Don't be angry, Yuan Tan is naturally a member of the Yuan family, and his refuge is not reliable, and we don't need to do anything to a little girl." β
Cao Cao immediately calmed down and said, "Well, send his daughter back to the plains, and his previous agreement will also be written off." Let Zhang Liao go north from Dongpingling and capture Pingyuan City. β
Xun You paused, and immediately said: "It's not a good thing to divide the troops, it's better to go all out to defeat Yecheng." Conquer Yecheng, and the plains will be effortless. β
Cao Cao nodded, then suddenly turned to the other side and asked, "What does Feng Xiao think?" Fight Yecheng or divide the plains? β
One of his subordinates immediately went to Guo Jia's tent to deliver the news.
Xun You's face was unnatural for a while. Originally, he planned and strategized for Cao Cao, but since this person named Guo Jia came, it seems that Cao Cao values this young man's opinion more. When there is a conflict in everything, Guo Jia is always consulted, and the most demonic thing is that this Guo Jia always judges the development of the situation very accurately.
The person who delivered the news immediately came back and stuffed a small note to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao unfolded, his brows suddenly furrowed, Xun You looked at the look on Cao Cao's face, and his mood immediately became nervous.
Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he laughed: "Withdraw!" β
