Chapter 167: Sorrowful Cao Cao
It's also to blame Yuan Shao for being unlucky, just push it down, but this body is still wearing dozens of catties of gold armor, just in contact with the boiling Yellow River water, Yuan Shao didn't even have time to shout, so he immediately sank quickly, this water pressure plus breathing problems, within a few seconds, this hero who was supposed to dominate the north was hastily killed.
Soon after, a Taoist priest appeared at the bottom of the river, this person was of course Zuo Ci, after he appeared, the river immediately separated from his surroundings, Zuo Ci looked at the unlucky Yuan Shao, shook his head, and disappeared at the bottom of the Yellow River again with Yuan Shao's body.
Xu You, who reacted, was suddenly frightened, the conscience of heaven and earth, Xu You really didn't have the intention of killing Yuan Shao, everything was an accident, who would have thought that Yuan Shao would be so unlucky?
Xu Yu howled to those guards to hurry up and save people, and at the same time retreated and prepared to escape.
** Angry's eyes were red, and he scolded angrily: "Xu You, I have long seen that you are not a good thing, you actually murdered the lord today, you really damn it, you should also go down to find the lord!." As he spoke, ** rushed over and was about to throw Xu You into the Yellow River, but Xu You rolled his eyes and fainted.
Those guards, looking at the Yellow River, no one dares to jump down, don't look at these soldiers, but they are all soldiers from the north, a landlubber, although the main general of the Han Dynasty died, and the guards have to be buried together, but if you want to die unjustly with Yuan Shao, no one wants to!
**Looking at the pro-guard who was slow to move, he threw away Xu You, let people lock him up, and became the leader of the pro-guard, grabbed his neck, and unconsciously added strength to his hand, in fact**It's just scolding, he also knows that it doesn't matter to the pro-guard, but**eagerly, he can't hold the strength in his hand, and with a click, he actually twisted the neck of the leader.
Seeing that the commander was dead, ** scolded again, and casually threw the body of the commander into the Yellow River.
"You bastards, the Lord took you on a fair day, and now you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't forget that military law is a strict order, the lord is at fault, none of you want to live, you won't go into the water, won't you get on the boat to salvage?" **Seeing that his backer was gone, of course he was angry, and when he looked at a group of guards in a daze, he was angry and yelled at them.
At this time, on the bank of the Yellow River, thousands of people gathered, chaotic coaxing, some got on the boat to fish, some looked for along the riverbank, judged, Feng Ji, Wen Chou and others came, crying and crying, Xu You was also awakened, and a muffled voice came out of his throat.
As soon as Xu Yu spoke, everyone immediately turned their attention to him.
The judge also noticed Xu You, and he pushed Yuan Shao when he had an accident, so the judge immediately shouted angrily: "Xu You, what's the matter?" Where did you get the courage to murder your lord? Could it be that you have already taken refuge in Chu Xiong or Cao Cao? ”
Although Xu You is greedy for money, he is not very bold, "Then he said, Lord Judge, it was really an accident, the road was slippery on a rainy day, and I was also unintentional, Lord Judge spared his life." ”
The seven orifices of the judgment and the straight qi were smoking, and he immediately asked someone to drag Xu You to cut down. He didn't want to throw the Yellow River and catch him again.
The trial is not afraid of disturbing the morale of the army now, his lord fell into the Yellow River, eighty percent of the dead can't die, and the son is in the hands of Chu Xiong, there is no successor, and these large armies, when the funeral is over, it is estimated that they will become the private army of the generals, and there is nothing to scruple about. The judge deeply understands the truth that if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it, and you will not bury the root of your own trouble.
So everyone also knew that Yuan Shao must be finished, and after looking at each other, he still wiped a handful of tears first, and said in a deep voice: "Now the lord is ...... Now pass on my military order, only say that the lord is accidentally injured, and he will be healed in a few days, and after the rain stops, the river level is slow, and he will immediately cross the river and return to Qingzhou. ”
This military order was extremely wise, and of course the generals would not raise objections, and hurriedly wiped away their tears and clenched their fists.
Later, due to the rising water of the river, it was about to flood the camp, so everyone had to give up the search, pull out the camp and retreat to the mountain, and send the dead soldiers who were loyal to the Yuan family to Yecheng to find an opportunity to rescue Yuan Shao's family.
Yuan Shao was forty years old, (153-192) This is also the fall of another overlord after Sun Jian, and at the same time, the general trend of the world will gradually become clear.
Not surprisingly, the world should become a battle for hegemony between Cao Cao, Chu Xiong, Sun Ce, and the Liu Group, as for Xiliang Ma Teng and Hanzhong Zhang Lu and others, they are soy sauce, and there is basically no possibility of winning the championship, and among the champions, Chu Xiong's strength is the strongest.
Chuxiong occupied Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Xianbei, Wuheng, and Xiongnu outside the Saiwai basically developed under favorable policies for many years.
Next, as long as Cao Cao is defeated and Sili is occupied, Yanzhou, Chu Xiong's domination of the world is a foregone conclusion.
The next thing to worry about is Cao Cao, Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains, and at the same time has to deal with pressure from all sides, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are under the pressure of survival, and it is very likely that they will unite to fight against Cao Cao, and in the north, the alliance between Cao Cao and Chuxiong in the early days is also very delicate, and there is a possibility of turning the other cheek at any time.
The choice of the trial was to conceal the news of Yuan Shao's death, but someone sabotaged it, and this person was Guo Tu.
Yuan Shao is dead now, several sons are in the hands of Chu Xiong again, and his partner Xu Yu was cut down, even if he can rescue all the sons, the forces that support Yuan Tan now are stronger than him who supports Yuan Shang, Guo Tu will eventually become a rootless duckweed, and a strategist without a master is sad, so Guo Tu must re-join a master.
There are really not many choices he can choose at present, and Cao Cao can rely on it, if he goes to Cao Cao now and takes Qingzhou, then he should have a great contribution.
So Guo Tu began to spread the news of Yuan Shao's death, no matter how Guo Tu was also Yuan Shao's trusted strategist, and there were a number of cronies under him, it was not easy to spread rumors, and in less than two days, the entire military camp knew that Yuan Shao was pushed into the Yellow River by Xu You and died.
Through Guo Tu's hard work, the judge finally couldn't hide Yuan Shao's death letter, and he had no choice but to tell the truth of the matter.
Since Yuan Shao's death letter can't be concealed, don't hide it, but now that the heavy rain has stopped, and the river has receded, the trial will hang up the banner in the Chinese army's big tent and set up a mourning hall. Since he couldn't find the body, he could only get a tomb for Yuan Shao.
Whether it is real crying or fake crying, the soldiers must always show their loyalty, so the sound of howling and crying is heard from time to time in the big tent of the Chinese army.
It is impossible to hide from Zhao Yun with such a big momentum, Zhao Yun is still wondering, he was ready to fight hard, but Yuan Shao did not attack, if it was because of this heavy rain, he would not believe it, even if the marshal is incompetent, his strategist is a great talent, and he will never let go of such a good opportunity to attack and give the enemy a breather. Now because of the news from Yuan Shao's army, Zhao Yun can also guess that Yuan Shao is dead.
Zhao Yun also doubted that Yuan Jun would cheat, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was impossible? Fraud is not something that can be used at any time, now if Yuan Shao's army has several times the advantage of his own, and he wants to cheat death, it will really backfire, except for reducing some morale, it is really useless, Zhao Yun does not think that Yuan Shao will get into the water in his head and make such a stupid move.
In this regard, Zhao Yun didn't want to go to the camp to see if Yuan Shao was really dead, anyway, it wouldn't be so easy for Yuan Jun to attack Leling City again. That Guan Yu has already sent back the news, and he will be able to rush to support in the evening. Zhao Yun was in a happy mood and took the Sky Wolf Cavalry to pack up the camp, and took the Sky Wolf Army back to Leling City to share this great news with Zang Ba.
Zang Ba and the others heard that Yuan Shao was dead, and they didn't have to wait for Yuan's army to attack the city in fear. Everyone was happy and ready to go into the city to congratulate.
And Cao Cao, who made an appointment with Yuan Shao to attack Chuxiong together, now met Guo Tu in Luoyang, this Guo Tu spread the news of Yuan Shao's death, so he took advantage of the chaos to take a boat to find Cao Cao, and heard that Yuan Shao was killed by Xu You, Cao Cao always felt sour in his heart, and deep regret, to be honest, Yuan Shao and Xu You were friends in his early years, and even if Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he did not have the idea of Yuan Shao's death, and he had to give Yuan Shao an idle post such as "An Le Gong", and deprived him of the right to lead the troops, which is worthy of the friendship of previous years.
Now that Yuan Shao is dead, he is still very aggrieved, he was drowned by his most trusted strategist who accidentally pushed the Yellow River into the Yellow River, and he couldn't even find the body, how could he not make Cao Cao feel emotional.
Cao Cao couldn't hide the sadness in his heart anymore, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xun You hurriedly asked, "Why is the lord so sad?" ”
Cao Cao sighed gloomily: In the past, I raised troops with Ben Chu, and Ben Chu asked me: "If things don't work out, where do you think you can hold on?" ”
I asked him, "What do you think?"
Yuan Shao said: "I defend the Yellow River in the south, rely on Yan and Dai in the north, and have Rong Di's troops, and then go south to fight for the world, probably can I succeed?" ”
I replied, "I will recruit talents and heroes from all over the world, and if I control them with the way of justice, I should be invincible."
This is as if he was said yesterday, and now that he is dead, how can I not cry for him.
Cao Cao's men and women also looked gloomy, and after a while, Cao Cao wrote a memorial and ordered: "Boning, you go to Yuan Shao's camp in Jizhou on my behalf to mourn my first brother." ”
Although Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao's body was gone, the clothes and mounds of the ancients were also a very formal funeral model.
After the full favor left, Cao Cao didn't have the heart to rob Qingzhou, not that Cao Cao didn't want it, but he couldn't afford it, the Yellow River sent a big flood, and sent all the officials and soldiers to relieve the disaster.
