Tian Jing relieved the siege of Beihai in Qingzhou, and Yuan Tanchi wrote to Yuan Shao to ask for credit for the meritorious soldiers, especially the credit for the overall planning and strategizing to himself, and the laying of Laiwu was also counted in his own name, and he also hoped that Yuan Shao could value himself.

But Yuan Shao was not in the mood to read Yuan Tan's document at this time, because the two sides had reached a critical moment. Moreover, Cao's army seems to be intent on counterattacking, and Yuan Shao and the strategists are also stepping up preparations for a decisive battle.

But Yuan Shao didn't know that there was a key person who arrived in Cao Ying - this person was Xu You. Because of Tian Jing, Xu You's entire family in the manor was killed, and he lost Yuan Shang's trust, so he packed up and prepared to go to Yuan Shao. But then Xu You thought about it, even if he had been friends with Cao Cao when he was a child, but now he went to the same place empty-handed, and he was afraid that he would not be reused by Cao Cao. pretended to be entrusted by Yuan Shang to see and came to the army to deliver news. took this opportunity to inquire about the deployment of Yuan Shao's army, especially the fact that all the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army were stored in Wuchao, which was particularly important, but Xu You inquired clearly, including the candidates for the Wuchao guards, the number of defenders and other important information.

Xu You arrived at Cao Ying, Cao Cao greeted him, Xu You saw that Cao's army was out of food, and offered a plan to attack Wuchao. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and after settling down with Xu You, he went to Guo Jia to discuss.

Guo Jia said to Cao Cao after hearing this, "I also have a piece of information here, which happens to be very consistent with what Xu Yu mentioned. At the beginning, I arranged for people to secretly buy Yuan Shao's generals. Among them, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch love money and have always intended to take refuge in the lord. Now this Jiao Touch was arranged by Yuan Shao to guard the Black Nest, and I just received a secret letter from Jiao Touch, saying that I hope our army will attack the Black Nest in three days, and Jiao Touch is willing to be the internal response. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he said happily, "God really helps me, and when the time comes, I will lead 5,000 men and horses to pretend to be Jizhou soldiers and horses, and sneak attack Wuchao, so that Yuan Shao's 300,000 troops will return in vain." ”

Guo Jia said, "If we just burn the black nest, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will retreat from Rongbei, and our army will not be able to completely defeat Yuan Shao in one battle." I still have a series of plans that are feasible, but Yuan Shao is out of ground. If it was just a sneak attack on Wuchao, there was no need for the lord to go in person, the lord could order General Cao Ren to pretend to be the lord and lead 5,000 troops to attack Wuchao, and after the sneak attack was successful, he deliberately let the Wuchao defenders report to Yuan Shao. At this time, Yuan Shao still has two chances to turn the tables, one is to order the elite soldiers to surround and chase the lord, if he can catch the lord, he will definitely be able to decide the victory; The second is to attack Guandu with all its strength before the crisis of food exhaustion, if Guandu wins, then the battle situation is also a victory. At this time, as long as our army plans in detail, we will definitely be able to drag Yuan Shao in Guandu if we are prepared to fight or not, and when the time comes, we will order people to spread the news that Yuan's army has run out of food, and the soldiers and horses in Jizhou will definitely be in chaos. When Yuan Shao retreats in a hurry, we can win a battle. ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia have agreed to act according to the plan after three days.

That Cao Ren led 5,000 elite soldiers pretending to be Jizhou soldiers and horses, took Xu You, and rushed to Wuchao. On the way, he encountered Yuan Jun to inquire, so Xu You came forward, saying that Yuan Gong was not worried about the Wuchao defenders, and sent Jiang Qi to protect the grain. This group of centaurs went all the way unhindered to the black nest. Cao Hong ordered people to light three torches according to the agreed signal, and at the same time ordered people to go to the door in a big way, saying that General Jiang Qi was ordered to come.

The gatekeeper didn't dare to call the shots, so he had to return to Chun Yu Qiong, which one of the Jiao Touch generals happened to patrol the night so far, Yan Dao Chun Yu Qiong General had already rested, since the friendly army came, he Jiao Touch recognized Jiang Qi and let the defenders open the door and let them go. The defender did not suspect him, opened the camp gate and lowered the drawbridge, and let Cao Jun enter the camp.

Cao Ren ordered people to seize the camp gate, killed the guards at the gate, and then ordered 4,000 men and horses to scatter fire and burn grain, and he led 1,000 men and horses to the Chinese army's big tent to capture Chun Yuqiong. Na Chun was invited to drink by Jiao Touch at night in Qiong, and now he has not woken up from a hangover, so he was directly tied up by Wuhuada.

Yan Rou heard the fire in the camp and hurriedly came out to understand the situation. saw Jiao Touch swaying and Zhang Zhang running over, and said, "General Yan is not good, Cao Jun came to rob the camp." You and I quickly organized troops and horses to resist Cao's army. ”

Yan Rou didn't know that Jiao was cheating, so he asked him to inform Chun Yuqiong that he was going to meet the enemy in the direction of the camp gate. Unbeknownst to him, Jiao Touch stabbed him in the chest from behind, and when Yan Rou turned around to look, she saw Jiao Touch sneering, snatching the momentum, and kicking him into the sea of fire with a flying kick.

After Cao Jun's victory, Cao Ren deliberately summoned Chun Yuqiong to ask him if he had recognized himself, but Chun Yuqiong didn't know. Cao Ren said that he was Cao Cao, the prime minister of the dynasty, and asked him to go back and tell Yuan Shao to wash his neck and wait for him to come to the door to personally take his head. Then he had Chun Yuqiong's ears and nose cut off and put them back in Yuan Shaojun.

The Yuan Shao camp saw that the black nest was on fire, and everyone was taken aback. hurriedly ordered someone to inquire about the news, but when he saw Chun Yuqiong rushing back in a panic, he told Cao Cao that he personally rushed to the Wuchao camp to rob the camp, in order to shirk responsibility, he only said that Jiao Touch Yan Rou and the others were Cao Jun's spies, and he was captured alive by the enemy.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he scolded Chun Yuqiong for being incompetent, and ordered someone to take him down to recuperate from his injuries. Yuan Shao panicked for a moment, and then asked the strategists.

Guo Tudao, now Cao Cao personally robbed the camp, must not have returned to Guandu safely, the lord sent 10,000 elite horsemen to intercept, if Cao Cao can be captured alive, then the battle will be won.

Yuan Shao asked who was willing to go, Gao Ran received the order, and the last general was willing to go to arrest Cao thief. Yuan Shao gave him 10,000 cavalry, supplemented by Zhang Nan and Jiang Qi, to chase Cao Cao.

At this time, the judge said, "My lord, now that the grain and grass have been burned, our army's grain storage is only enough for three days." I think that regardless of whether General Gao Ran wins or loses, we need to decide whether to go or stay before the news of the exhaustion of food spreads to the whole army. It is not too late for us to prepare to withdraw to the north bank of the Yellow River as soon as possible, relying on Liyang, and then to the south after raising food. ”

Feng Ji said, "My lord, originally our army was worried about only Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao is not in Guandu, our army can do its best to fight a decisive battle with Cao's army. Our army has no food, and the so-called backwater battle is put to death and survived, and the three armies are brave and can definitely defeat Cao's army. ”

Yuan Shao's biggest characteristic is that he is hesitant and feels that what he says makes sense. After discussing all night, Gao Ran did not come back to restore his life. He ordered that the trial should be responsible for arranging the withdrawal of troops, and that ships should be prepared on the banks of the Yellow River to stand by. Zhang He led 20,000 troops to attack Cao Ying, testing the truth and reality. If Cao's army is unprepared, the Chinese army will attack tomorrow.

In this way, it fell into Guo Jia's calculations at that time.

Gao Ran went all the way to chase Cao Cao, but he didn't know that Cao Jun did not return to Guandu, but went all the way to Puyang, Yanzhou. Gao Ran's cavalry chased for a day, but when they saw that Cao's army was not leaving, they seemed to be preparing to meet the enemy on the spot. The current general is none other than Cao Ren.

Cao Ren said, "The tired general sent him all the way, and Cao Ren was ashamed." In front of us is the boundary of Puyang, and it is not a secret that our army has already had 20,000 ambush soldiers outside the city. If the general is willing to fight, Cao Ren will fight with the general here, if the general comes to find my prime minister, my prime minister is only afraid that he has now broken through Yuan Shao's camp. It is better for the general to surrender early, and he will not lose the reward of the marquis in the future. ”

Gao Ran heard that Fang knew that he was fooled, and now he was in a dilemma, and at this time, Cao Ren came out with a member of Wenchen, who was Xu You; A military general is Jiao Touch. Xu Yu said, "General Gao Lan, now that Xu and Jiao touch, Yuan Gong's side Zhang He, Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and other generals have all been demoted to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, at this time, I am afraid that Yuan Shao has already been defeated, and the general will make a decision as soon as possible, and now it is not a moth to fight the fire when he returns to Yuan Shao's camp." ”

Gao Lan saw that Xu Yu and Jiao Touch were there, and knew that this matter was only eighty percent true. But he had no reason to surrender to the enemy, so he led 10,000 cavalry to immediately rush back to Yuan Shao's camp to support.

On that side, Zhang He attacked the Cao army camp, and the beginning was very smooth, and it was really that the Cao army was unprepared, so he led the army to rush into the camp gate. Who knew that Cao Jun dug countless pits, tripping horses, and thistles in the camp. Zhang He's soldiers and horses were unprepared for a while, and they were ambushed, and most of them were killed and wounded. Zhang He led the troops to break through desperately, but saw a person with a horizontal sword immediately in front of the formation, it was Cao Cao himself, "In the formation is General Zhang He." Today, the general is trapped, so it is better to surrender early. Cao has always had a heart of love for talents, and now Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and other generals have surrendered to their true appearance, if the general surrenders, I am willing to treat each other as a general. ”

That Zhang He is also a loyal and righteous person, how to surrender, just desperately break through. In the end, only a few hundred people fled back to Yuan Shao's camp.

Now Yuan Shao's camp is full of slaughter. Zhang He's army was defeated, almost all the army was wiped out, and it was even said that Gao Ran and others surrendered to Cao Cao. There was a lot of chaos in the tent. Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and others were about to distinguish, but they couldn't help but say that they were controlled by the guards first.

At this time, someone reported that General Gao Ran had returned. Gao Ran entered the camp, and Chen talked about the pursuit of Cao Ren. Seeing that Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and others were captured, he said happily: "The last general is about to report, then Xu You said that Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, and Wei Yuanjin have all surrendered to Cao Cao, and since Yuan Gong has been prepared, it is just time to ask Yuan Gong to correct him." There is another person who descended to Cao, but Gao never expected that he was the general Zhang He! After that, he pointed to Zhang He.

Zhang He didn't expect Gao Ran to bite back, and he also accused Gao Ran of defecting to the enemy, otherwise how could he come back and return to his life without spending a single soldier. Gao Ran said that if Zhang He had not defected to the enemy, how could only 100 of the 20,000 horses flee back.

The two sides argued, and Guo Tu also found out that something was wrong, so he suggested that the second general should be guilty of meritorious service and attack Cao Ying again. The judge believed that attacking Cao Ying again at this time would definitely not be able to win, and it was better to withdraw the army as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao was overwhelmed by the quarrel of everyone, and finally decided to let Zhang He and Gao Ran lead 20,000 troops to attack Cao Ying. Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and others were taken into custody to see the after-effects. After all the arrangements were made, he secretly recruited and matched them, and discussed that he would first withdraw to Liyang with 20,000 Chinese troops, and then the army would gradually withdraw.

The judge knew that Yuan Shao was tantamount to giving up Zhang He and Gao Ran, and let them buy time for the retreat of the army.

But people are not as good as heaven, and at night, General Zhang Nan privately released Jiang Qi, Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and others, so that the four of them spread the news that the grain and grass were burned in the army, and the soldiers were short of food, and Yuan Shao was ready to leave everyone to escape alone.

As a result, there was chaos in the camp. The armies could only rush to the crossing of the Yellow River to grab the ships and retreat. Cao's army took the opportunity to launch a general attack, Xiahoudun attacked the left flank, Cao Ren attacked the right flank, and Cao Cao led the Chinese army to Yuan Shao's camp.

Yuan Shaojun was defeated, and Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi, Lü Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin and others all surrendered to Cao Cao. No less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou surrendered to Cao's army.
