Chapter 191: Breaking the Black Nest
After the two left, Yang Xi only left 3,000 guards to guard the ship, thinking that he would respond, and he led the assault regiment with 9,000 horse infantry troops, found a hidden place on the shore to get off the boat, and went to the black nest.
However, it was said that Xu You was originally Yuan Shao's adviser, because Xu Yi had an affair with Yang Xi, and other sons and nephews were in the army, and they were discovered by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wanted to kill Xu You, and he remembered the old love from childhood to adulthood, but did not kill.
Later, Xu You offered him advice, Yuan Shao suspected that Xu You and Cao Cao had an affair and did not adopt it, in fact, Cao Cao, Xu You, and Yuan Shao played together as children, and it is not an exaggeration to have this suspicion.
When Xu You didn't know how to deal with himself, his younger brother Xu Yi proposed Yang Xi's arrangement, and Xu You came to see Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was of course very excited to accept it.
Xu You told Yuan Shao Chen Bing about Wuchao, and even said one thing, that is, his younger brother Xu Yi, together with Chen Qun's brother Chen Qiong, and his partner Zhou Wei, formed his own family of 2,000 people in two days, and he has gone to burn Wuchao grain and grass.
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "This matter is so important, only two thousand people, wouldn't it be in vain to give up their lives?" ”
Xu You said: "When the three of them heard about Yuan Shao's attack on Apu, they were all filled with indignation, saying that Yuan Shao dared to raise troops to attack his prime minister, and he would do his best for the imperial court, so the three of them privately scattered some money to organize a team to share the worries of the prime minister. ”
Cao Cao was greatly moved when he heard this: "I think that I have so many brothers and nephews of Cao Cao, but in the end, a few civilians under my rule sacrificed their lives to help, which is really embarrassing." Now that I know about it, I can't sit idly by. ”
Cao Cao gathered the crowd to discuss the matter, and Xun You and others guarded the official crossing, and led Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Yu Ban to lead 5,000 people to jointly attack Wuchao and save the volunteers.
Yang Xi arrived at the Wuchao early, and the person stationed in the Wuchao at this time was Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong, who was also very brave, but loved to drink.
Yuan Shao's army and horses were numerous, and Chun Yuqiong guarded the soldiers of Wuchao, there were more than 10,000, and the camp was several miles long. At night, Chun Yuqiong drank as usual, Yang Xi ordered Jiang Qin to lead 3,000 people to the east, Jian Xian divided 3,000 people to the west, and Zhou Wei and others, who were ambushed earlier than the south, and 2,000 men and horses, also listened to Yang Xi's secret service battalion orders, and when the shouting started, they rushed into the camp together.
In the middle of the night, Chun Yuqiong was drunk, and the sergeant fell asleep.
Yang Xi asked the special battalion to send an order to the other three armies half an hour in advance, agreeing to rob the camp on time at 2:15.
At this time, Yang Xi had already made the clock only the size of a palm, but limited to technical problems, smaller watches could not be made.
Zhou Wei, Jian Xian, and Jiang Qin put their watches on hand, attacked on time at 2:15, and at first there was no movement, and rushed into the camp and shot fiercely, killing all the guards outside.
At this time, Chun Yuqiong reacted, and before he could put on his clothes, he raised troops and went out of the account and looked for horses, but when he saw that the fire was on fire in all directions, he was already turning over on his back, and he saw that the other party had tens of thousands of horses.
Chun Yuqiong rode a horse to clash left and right, saw that there were enemy troops everywhere, and was wondering why Cao Cao came from so many soldiers, only to see a silver-white armor, spear stabbing at him.
Chun Yu Qiong blocked with a gun, only fought three times, was hit in the back by Yang Xi, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and when he was about to pull the horse, Yang Xi reached out and caught it.
From the beginning to the end of this battle, it only took half an hour, Chun Yuqiong's soldiers and horses surrendered a small half, deserted a small half, killed one or two thousand, and wounded more than a thousand.
Yang Xi ordered Jiang Qin to tie up more than 3,000 captives and send them back to the ship, where he waited for him on the ship, expecting that Cao Cao was almost there.
Cao Cao was so anxious, not to mention that two thousand soldiers and horses were a big help, and he would also scare the grass and snakes, and lose an opportunity to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass.
When he arrived at the black nest, he suddenly saw the fire in front of him, and Cao Cao was very surprised, could it be that he had succeeded? Chun Yuqiong is a general of Yuan Shao and has a lot of background.
In the fifth year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, Chun Yuqiong was appointed as one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and was listed with Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Bao Hong, Cao Cao, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang, and Xia Mou. is a general of Yuan Shao, and is as famous as Zhang He, Gao Ran and others.
"Such a general, by the two thousand families of three merchants, burned grain and grass in the army?" Cao Cao couldn't believe his eyes.
So hurry up and hurry, suddenly, a group of people appeared in front, about one or two thousand people, met Cao Cao, and saw a person shouting: "The prime minister has arrived?" ”
Cao Cao looked at it, there were three people in front, and they were all ordinary people and horses, so he knew that these three people were Chen Qun's brother Chen Qiong and the three of them.
"It's Chen Qiong, Zhou Wei, Xu Yi, the three of you?" Cao Cao asked.
Xu Yi hurriedly said: "Meet the prime minister, it's the three of us, I never thought that the prime minister would remember the names of my little people." ”
Chen Qiong and Zhou Wei came to visit one by one, and Cao Cao said: "What is the reason for the fire in the black nest?" ”
Xu Yi said: "Tell the prime minister, the three of us brought some family members, and when we came to burn the grain and grass of the black nest, we happened to meet the soldiers and horses of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and they also came to support the prime minister, so the general Yang organized us into a team and attacked Chun Yuqiong together, and all the grain of the black nest was taken by the general Yang." General Yang instructed me to wait, and came over to inform the prime minister to send someone over to transport grain. ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "I never thought that Yang Xizhen would come to help me, and the generals would come with me." ”
Xu Huang said: "The prime minister is slow, it is better to let the last general go to explore the way first, and then make a decision when it is discovered, in case there is fraud." ”
Cao Cao said: "Yang Xi will not lie to me, I know that he is a person, although it can be called a ghost scheme, but I disdain to use such tricks." ”
So he ignored Xu Huang's suggestion and destroyed the Malay meeting Yang Xi.
Yang Xi had already reorganized his military horses at this moment, and was instructing the medical team to deal with the wounded and some wounded prisoners, and all of his own wounded personally inquired about the situation.
When Cao Cao arrived, he heard that Yang Xi was in the wounded barracks, so he went straight in and saw that Yang Xi was actually bandaging the injured person himself, so he felt strange, but he didn't ask too much.
After Yang Xi was busy for half an hour, he found that Cao Cao had arrived early, so he entered Yang Xi's tent to talk.
Yang Xidao: "I knew that the prime minister was in trouble and got the letter, but I didn't dare to reply, for fear that there would be fraud, or someone would rob the letter halfway through, but suffer a loss." I just recently got the news that Yuan Shao's grain and grass were in Wuchao, and I thought that the prime minister might not have many soldiers and horses, and he couldn't divide his troops to raid. ”
Cao Cao was very grateful after hearing this, and said that Xu Huang and the others smiled and said: "Chenheguo doesn't deceive me, it's really timely and rainy!" ”
Of course, Cao Cao didn't know, even if Yang Xi didn't come, he would still win the battle and burn the black nest, but the grain and grass would be reduced to nothing.
Cao Cao asked Yang Xi what happened next, and Yang Xi said: "Although Yuan Shao has lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, he still has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the prime minister has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left. If not, I will collect troops in the river, monitor day and night, if I see its grain and grass crossing the river, I will hit it, the prime minister just hold on, not half a month, Yuan Shao will retreat, and when he retreats, he will attack it again, and it can be broken in one fell swoop. ”
Cao Cao said that he was good, so he took Zhou Wei and other soldiers and horses, and combined his own five thousand, and transported grain and grass back to Guandu, and Yang Xi led the cavalry to escort him, and when Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses came to Wuchao, they had already been gone for a long time.
