Cao Cao, who was in the big tent, was enjoying a rare leisure at the moment. The battle has dragged on for more than half a year, and although Yuan's army is strong, it has not been able to break through its garrison in Guandu to this day, but similarly, Cao Cao has not been able to defeat Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses. At this time, Cao Cao in history was already stretched thin, otherwise he would not have the idea of retreating to Xudu, and Xun Yu would not have written to persuade him to insist. But now, Cao Cao's family background can be said to be quite rich, not only has a large number of grain and grass harvests every year, Mi Zhu can also earn silver money through buying and selling, and buy grain and grass, so Cao Cao's situation at this time is not so difficult.

It has been three or four days since the Yuan army's tunnel offensive was frustrated, and Yuan Shaojun's army has not moved. This also made Cao Cao, who was sitting in the big tent, look at the book without distraction. Speaking of Cao Cao, he was a good book, even if he was marching and fighting, the war book always followed Cao Cao's side. In the past, there were rolls of bamboo slips, and as soon as he set out on the expedition, there would be special people to help him carry these books. However, since the popularization of papermaking, bamboo slips have almost withdrawn from the stage of history. In this regard, except for Cai Yong, who once lamented that no one can understand the suffering of the three uniques of the Confucian sage Wei from now on, at least in addition to the war, it is much more convenient than before to read a book.

Now what Cao Cao is looking at is Gao Ye's "Thirty-six Strategies". Speaking of the fact that after Cao Cao snatched this book from Gao Ye, so many years have passed now, and he has read it no less than 20 times, although he has not read as many books such as "Sun Tzu" and "Wei Xuanzi", it is also one of the essential books around Cao Cao every time he goes out to the army. This is mainly because most of the strategies and tactics that can be used when the two armies are at war, and this book is more operable than those books that describe the principles of military science. Especially when I read the chapter on the bottom of the kettle, I seemed to have an understanding in my heart, and I was in line with my current situation. It is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling, but where is the salary of Yuan Shaojun?

Cao Cao was pondering, but he didn't want to suddenly a gust of wind rose, Cao Cao couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see that Xu Chu had already walked in quickly, and arched his hand: "Lord, General Li Dian urgently reported that Wen Chou led his troops to attack the western camp." ”

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "It was actually Wen Chou who went to fight Xiying, in this way, I am afraid that the three of them in Manchester City will be difficult to resist." Do you know how many soldiers and horses Wen Chou brought with him? ”

"Back to the lord, it is estimated that there are a lot, General Li Dian already has 40,000 soldiers and horses, if it weren't for the fact that Wen Chou had many soldiers and horses and attacked fiercely, General Li Dian would not have come to ask for help."

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "Go and give an order, let Zilong and Zihe get ready, and follow me to save Xizhai." ”

Xu Chu promised to get out of the big tent, and met Guo Jia and Xun Yu who came in a hurry, and the shouting and killing sound from the west has now reached the camp, and after the two of them heard it, they naturally hurried to Cao Cao. When Xu Chu came out, Guo Jia hurriedly asked, "What is the lord's order?" ”

"The lord has an order, let General Zilong, General Zihe get ready, and the lord will lead the troops to Xizhai."

Guo Jia frowned when he heard this: "You go to pass the order first, Gongda and I have met the lord and then talk about other things." ”

Xu Chu nodded and left in a hurry, Guo Jia and Xun You also hurriedly walked to the front of the big tent, signed up, and saw that Cao Cao had already put on his helmet and armor, and hung a sword on his waist, with a posture of going out. Seeing this, Xun You hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Where is this going, lord?" ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, signaled the two not to be nervous, and then said: "Wen Chou is in a hurry to attack Xizhai, I think it is difficult for Manchester City and Wen Qian to hold on, so I took Zilong and Zihe to the rescue, and the two of them don't have to worry." ”

Hearing this, Xun You shook his head and said, "As the commander of the three armies, how can the lord leave lightly? In addition, I thought that although Xizhai was attacked, nine times out of ten it was just a feint, and the lord ordered a general to go and solve the crisis. The purpose of Yuan Jun's move is not Xizhai, but here. As long as the main Gongzhong army moves, Yuan Shao will inevitably attack in a big way. The lord still needs to prepare in advance and stick to the camp. ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "Gongda's meaning, Yuan Shao is this a plan to attack the east and the west?" ”

Xun Yu nodded twice and said: "Feng Xiao and I both have this opinion, now although Yuan Shao's army has many soldiers and horses, it has been in vain for several days, and there is no achievement, Yuan Jun's morale is bound to be low, and it is not easy to capture our army camp head-on, so I make this calculation, and I want our army to expose its flaws." The lord can order General Zhao Yun to lead the troops to the Xizhai rescue, and the lord and other generals will stick to the camp. ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath, and then said: "If it weren't for Gongda and Fengxiao, I almost fell for the enemy's plan!" After saying that, he shouted at the door, and then asked the guard to quickly pass the order, ordering Zhao Yun to lead 10,000 cavalry to rescue Xizhai quickly. Summoned Han Hao and Shi Lian, immediately led the troops, strengthened the camp defense, and prepared for battle.

Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses had just walked out of the camp, and they didn't even have the time to eat a meal, and a soldier ran into the big tent like a soldier, shouting loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, Yuan Jun is coming to steal the camp!" ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly when he heard this, and said lightly: "Sure enough, it's here." Dian Wei, get ready to fight! Dian Wei gave up his promise, and Cao Cao, who had a serious face, suddenly laughed, and then shook his head and said: "Unexpectedly, I still underestimated Yuan Benchu and almost fell for the plot." ”

Guo Jia on the side laughed and said: "As the so-called fool must have a thousand thoughts, Yuan Shao occasionally adopts such a clever plan, which is not a big deal." When Xun You heard this, he also smiled and said: "What Feng Xiao said is true, now the enemy's conspiracy has been discovered, in terms of combat strength, who has our army been afraid of?" ”

Cao Cao also laughed when he heard this, and said: "Listening to this shouting and killing, the enemy must have arrived, let me go out and have a look, and see what Yuan Shaojun is capable of!" ”

Yuan Shaojun on the other side had also been killed at this time. Speaking of Yuan Shao's expedition this time, although there were 400,000 soldiers and horses, because of Yuan Xi's defeat, Yuan Shao had no choice but to divide 50,000 troops to Zhang He to resist Gao Ye. All the way from Liyang to Guandu, the counties along the way need to be garrisoned by soldiers and horses to prevent Cao's army from raiding behind the rear. In Liyang, Baima, Yanjin and other places, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses were stationed to ensure the smooth flow of the back road and the grain road. Han Meng brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the western camp, making the illusion that Yuan's army was attacking with all his might. Ma Yan and Zhang Yi brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to ambush along the road, preparing to ambush Cao's army who went to the rescue.

There is still a need to garrison in the camp, and the Yuan army also hopes to catch Cao Cao off guard by surprise this raid, so when Wen Chou kills outside Cao's camp, there are many generals around him, there are 31 members, but there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao, who was behind him, personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses, following behind Wen Chou. After all, as long as the battle starts, if Wen Chou can win directly, he will be happy, if not, then he will have to rely on the 100,000 troops under his command to speak.

When Wen Chou came, he was full of confidence, and the scout reported that Cao Jun had sent a group of soldiers and horses to the west camp to rescue. Wen Chouxin said that Cao Jun was in a plan, and he would definitely not be more prepared, besides, tonight is the first day of the new year, and there is not even a moon in the sky, so everyone chose this day in order to let the army sneak around. I took advantage of the night to come all the way, and I was not discovered by Cao Jun, with his own martial bravery, Cao Jun Dazhai should go down with a drum.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Cao Jun was actually prepared. Before he reached the gate of the camp, he was violently counterattacked by the Cao army. The five thousand cavalry only started to charge, and at least one hundred and fifty steps away from Dazhai, they were hit by Cao Jun's fierce bow and arrows, and the arrows were so dense that Wen Chou was a little suspicious of life. After all, with such a long range and such a lethal power, unless it is a bed crossbow, but with such a dense sword rain, can Cao Jun not be able to have thousands of bed crossbows? It doesn't have to be at least 20,000 people, who are operating crossbow arrows at the gate of the village at this time!

However, Wen Chou wanted to think that since the cavalry had launched a charge, there was no reason to stop, as long as the cavalry rushed to the front of the Dazhai Gate, the bed crossbow was useless. The infantry behind him had also launched a charge, and since Cao Jun was on guard, he had to send someone to let the lord's soldiers and horses arrive as soon as possible.

The time in the rain of arrows seems to be like a year, Wen Chou's martial arts are strong, although he rushed to the first, he didn't even hit half an arrow on his body, and he was all blocked by his spear dance. Finally killed the Wen Chou of the gate, and the mood at the moment sank to the bottom, the imaginary bed crossbow was not in front of the door, and now the gate, there are only countless archers, just putting arrows on the walls on both sides of the gate. Before the gate, Cao Jun had already finished arranging, and the two iron halberds in the hands of the first general knew at a glance that it was not easy to match.

Seeing this, Wen Chou didn't think much about it, shouted loudly, and stabbed straight with his gun, Dian Wei did not show weakness, and danced with a double iron halberd to meet Wen Chou. I couldn't beat Sanhe, Wen Chou secretly said that this guy is so powerful, and he tried his best, but he still couldn't help it. And this person has a lot of energy, and he already feels a little numb in the tiger's mouth. I had to fight again, only to hear Wei Yuanjin shouting beside me: "General Wen quickly entered Dazhai, this guy is handed over to us!" "After that, he danced the big knife and went straight to Dian Wei,. There were seven more people who came up with Yu Yuanjin. Although these people talk about martial arts, none of them are Dian Wei's opponents, but now eight people are talking about Dian Wei, and Dian Wei can't win quickly for a while.

Cao Cao was far away on the high platform in the camp, saw this scene, and immediately sneered and said, "I didn't expect that Yuan Jun actually sent Wen Chou here. This man is brave, Zhong Kang, go and meet him. ”

Xu Chu immediately received the order when he heard this, immediately got off the high platform, slapped the horse and danced the knife to take Wen Chou directly, and after a few rounds, even Wen Chou was surprised in his heart, why are there so many fierce generals in Cao Ying? The ugly ghost before was a good martial artist, and the strong man in front of him was not low in martial arts, and it was impossible for him to win quickly. The two fought straight for more than a dozen rounds, only to hear a general behind them shout: "This person is handed over to us, General Wen quickly kills the big tent of the Chinese army!" When he heard the scandal, he knew that it was the general Han Xun, and then he made a false move and walked away, Xu Chu was besieged by Han Xun and other seven generals for a while, and he couldn't get out.

Cao Cao, who was on the high platform, saw this situation, and his heart was suddenly shocked, now Dian Wei and Xu Chu were all dragged by the enemy generals, and Wen Chou was killed in the village as if he had entered a no-man's land, how should it be good if it goes on like this!

While pondering, I heard Guo Jia beside him ask strangely: "Who is the person who is facing Wen Chou at this time?" Why don't I know such a young general in our army? ”
