Suddenly I found out that it was already three hundred chapters!

Hehe, I need to celebrate well, and by the way, in the name of three hundred chapters, summon monthly passes and recommended tickets...... What, chrysanthemums are dangerous.

―――――――――――――― Puyang was gained and lost, Liu Bei's whereabouts were unknown, and the white horse turned into ruins.

On the first day of the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an, for Yuan Shao, it is definitely not lucky. But before that, he at least thought so.

Yuan Shao was ready to send troops to cross the river, and suddenly heard the news from Xu You, which made him stunned.

"Puyang was lost, and Yan Liang was killed in Baima?"

Yuan Shao sat on the couch and couldn't speak for a long time.

To paraphrase a classic line from later generations: The ups and downs of life are too fast...... At the previous moment, Yuan Shao also swore that he would cross the river and drive straight in, capture Xudu, and kill Cao Ying. When the time comes, he will be the one who will not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven! Moreover, with his background as the fourth and third dukes, plus the control of Henan and Hebei, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, at least seven states are in his hands, and he will ...... But as soon as this dream began, it was suddenly crushed by reality.

Puyang was taken away by Cao Ying again!

The most hateful thing is that Yan Liang also died, and he died extremely miserably.

Liu Bei fled in defeat and is now missing. Even the frustrated son Frustrated Hu didn't know where to go, which made people feel terrified.

Yan Liang, that is his confidant.

Long before the 22nd Route princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, when Yuan Shao was only the Taishou of Bohai, Yan Liang began to follow him and made great achievements. A Yan Liang and a Wen Chou are like his right-hand man. The sudden lack of a pillar in the four courtyards of Hebei is Yuan Shao's heartache.

"Yan Liang, who killed you?"

Looking at the furious Yuan Shao, everyone in the yatang was silent.

"According to Ziyuan's news, after Cao Ying captured the white horse, Ziyuan originally planned to order Lu Pei to send troops to recapture the white horse. But the general was unwilling, saying that the white horse was captured by him before, and now it was recovered by Cao Ying, and he personally led the troops to capture the white horse again.

So Ziyuan ......"

Yan Liang, what an arrogant person?

Everyone in Jizhou knows that one Yan Liang and one Wen Chou are objects that no one can control except Yuan Shao.

Although Xu You is also Yuan Shao's old minister, he is still small.

But Yan Liang is at most giving him face, but he may not obey Xu Yu's dispatch. So it's no surprise that this kind of thing happened.

Yuan Shao said angrily: "I'm asking you, who killed Yan Liang?" Frustrated Zhi took a deep breath and sniffed his heart, "According to Ziyuan's battle report, after Cao Ying captured the white horse, he immediately concentrated all his forces and confronted Liu Bei. Therefore, the one who stayed behind in the white horse was Cao Ying's nephew, named Cao Peng. Yan Liang almost took the white horse without blood, but he didn't want to fall for the trick of the little Cao thief. The little Cao thief burned the entire white horse, and Yan Liang was killed after the fire started. ”

"Cao Peng?" Yuan Shao's eyes were red and he raised his head, "This name is a bit familiar." ”

"The lord forgot, that Cao Peng is Cao Babai, who wrote "Eight Hundred Character Text", his father is the civil Cao Duwei, and the arsenal Ling Cao Ji is the son of Hidden Ink."

Guo Tu replied softly.

Yuan Shao was suddenly furious, "I can't wait to kill Cao Babai." ”

I think that at the beginning, Cao Peng's "Eight Hundred Character Text" was also circulated in Hebei and praised by many people.

Among them is a generation of Confucian masters, doctors of the Five Classics, and Zheng Xuan, the founder of Zheng Xue. It is said that Zheng Xuan was bedridden at the time and was on the verge of death. As a result, after reading "Eight Hundred Character Text", Zheng Xuan actually drank a bucket of wine that night, and sang and sang, which was extremely praised.

Therefore, Yuan Shao also knows the name of 'Cao Eight Hundred'.

In private, he also said that if he captured Xu Du in the future, after killing Cao Ying, two of the Cao clan members must be sent to him alive.

One is Cao Ji, and the other is Cao Peng.

Cao Ji will make knives, create Cao Gong plows, Cao Gong cars, and can be called masters.

Cao Peng's literary talent is outstanding, and he is not even inferior to Chen Lin, who has the best literary talent under Yuan Shao...... Now, if someone sends Cao Peng to Yuan Shao, it is estimated that Yuan Shao will immediately draw a knife and kill Cao Peng.

"I want to cross the river immediately and fight a decisive battle with Cao Thief."

"No!"

When he heard this, he suddenly became anxious.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Cao Yingfang has recaptured the Puyang White Horse, and his morale is booming." At this time, crossing the river to fight a decisive battle with it may not be the best strategy.

Grant that when the soldiers are in Liyang, they will gradually camp in Henan. At the same time, he dispatched elite cavalry to copy his borders, so that he could not be at ease, and the general could take his escape. Today's situation, there is no need to be confined to a decisive battle, when slowly drawing, in Henan first gain a firm foothold, step by step, is the best policy. You must know that Cao Thief Yanzhou is not stable, as long as the lord has a firm foothold, he can make Yanzhou chaotic.

If Yanzhou is in chaos, Qingzhou Zangba is not a cause for concern.

When the time comes, the lord can advance layer by layer. Although Cao Ying occupies Henan, he is surrounded by enemies, so how can he be the opponent of the lord? ”

If Cao Ying sat here and listened to what he said, he would be shocked.

He desperately created a situation, which was to prompt Yuan Shao to fight with him. After all, Yuan Shao occupied the land of Sizhou, had a large population, abundant money and food, and was extremely powerful. In contrast, although Cao Ying occupied Sizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, he was surrounded by enemies.

There is Ma Teng in the west, and there are Liangzhou soldiers under his command, and his strength is not weak.

Although Jiangdong is in turmoil, the situation has gradually calmed down since Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's inheritance.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou...... These people are Cao Ying's most worried opponents at present. If there is a stalemate in the battle situation, then Liu Biao, Sun Quan and others will also be ready to move. At that time, Cao Ying will inevitably suffer from the enemy, and Xu Du will be even more turbulent.

It's just that the words of frustration did not move Yuan Shao's heart.

At this time, he was bent on avenging Yan Liang, and he was full of confidence, how could he allow him to advance slowly? Vows to succeed in the first battle...... Therefore, Yuan Shao's exhortation made Yuan Shao furious.

"A certain soldier with millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, holding on to Cao thieves, why bother so much?

Cao Thief has won Puyang today, and his arrogance is arrogant. If I don't cross the river and strike at it, won't I make the whole world laugh? I have made up my mind, and I have to say more. ”

What an arrogant tone!

Frustrated and wanted to persuade again, Yuan Shao had already thrown his sleeves and left.

Seeing this scene, Frustrated couldn't help but feel lost. He had an ominous premonition that if Yuan Shao and Cao Ying fought a decisive battle, they would be very likely to be defeated.

It's not a pity that he died, but the clan ...... When he returned to the army that day, he immediately ordered his confidants to return to Yecheng overnight, and ordered the clan to disperse their assets in case of an emergency.

Fu Zhu began to arrange the next move, and Guo Tu and the others were also ready to move.

That night, Wen Chou, another of the four court pillars in Hebei and one of Yuan Shao's right-hand men, escorted grain and grass to Liyang.

Guo Tu immediately visited Wen Chou and informed him of Yan Liang's death.

Wen Chou and Yan Liang are like brothers. The two enlisted in the army together and followed Yuan Shao to fight in the east and west, although they were not brothers, they were better than their compatriots.

Hearing that Yan Liang was killed, Wen Chou immediately went crazy.

He immediately broke into Liyang Shuai's mansion, and after finding Yuan Shao, Putong knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Lord, my brother died a miserable death, why didn't the lord send troops to take revenge?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to, it's really Cao Ying'......"

"Cao Ying is a thing, but after the eunuch, he jumped off the beam clown.

Chou is willing to lead a group of men and horses, cross the river immediately, and fight a decisive battle with Na Cao. If you can't kill Cao Ying's uncle and nephew with your own hands, you are willing to give the head of the item. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, "A certain is about to send troops to fight a decisive battle with that Cao Ying." ”

Guo Tu interjected at this time, "Lord, I seem to be cowardly when I hear what I said today.

Now, he is a prisoner of the army, and his authority is too strong. And he didn't want to fight with Cao Ying, and spread the word, wouldn't it make morale even lower?

Moreover, the battle of Puyang is quite suspicious.

When Liu Bei was stationed in Puyang, Cao's army repeatedly attacked the city but could not; But as soon as the frustrated Hu arrived, Puyang immediately fell, is this ......"

Guo Tu completely forgot that he was the one who made Frustrated Hu change Liu Bei in the first place.

And when Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart...... Yes, Puyang's loss is too much of a coincidence.

"The meaning of the public rule ......"

"The lord is about to fight a decisive battle, and he needs to guard against annihilation.

In the opinion of the figure, why not disperse the post of supervising the army and set up a capital to supervise the military. The lord can appoint confidants, and he can guarantee that he will be safe. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and praised again and again.

He immediately ordered the removal of the superintendent of the army and the establishment of three governors in the army.

One of them, Guo Tu and Yuan Shao's confidants, Chun Yuqiong, each has an army, which is equivalent to dividing one-third of the authority of the frustrated authority. Among them, the two most elite teams are served by Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong. In this way, the position of governor is frustrated, and it exists in name only.

"Xin Yi."

"The last general!"

Wen Chou got up and answered.

"I order you to command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, cross the river early in the morning, and after meeting with Xu You, the decisive battle will be fought in Yanjin."

"The last general obeys!"

Wen Chou wiped away his tears and strode away.

"Pass my order, order all departments to speed up the delivery of grain and grass, and after ten days, a certain person will personally lead a large army to cross the river and fight to the death with the Cao thief."

"Whoa!"

Guo Tu smiled contentedly!

Originally, Yuan Shao planned to cross the river in these two days.

However, because the white horse was burned, the heavy grain and grass that Yuan's army transported across the river was burned.

Xu Yu in Yanjin will inevitably suffer from a shortage of grain and grass. The heavy grain and grass in Liyang need to be remobilized, so the time to cross the river can only be postponed. White horse, there is no need for a fierce battle. It is said to have been razed to the ground, not enough to store food and grass.

Yuan Shao now needs to build another granary to ensure the follow-up war.

This is not overnight, it can build ......―――――――――――――――――――――――――― heat, very hot!

The hot whole person seems to be in a sea of fire, about to be roasted Chengren.

Cao Peng was in a trance, surrounded by raging flames. The flames shifted, transforming into one strange and familiar face after another.

betrayed himself in his previous life and shot his friend Zhang Yang; Chen Liu, Lei Xu, who was killed by himself; There are also Huang Jie, Deng Cai, Ma Ying, and people who don't know the number, who know and don't know, roaring around him, all with hideous faces, smiling and pounced on him...... "Ah! ”

Cao Peng opened his eyes suddenly, only to feel that the world was spinning.

In his ears, a chaotic voice sounded, "Zhonghou is awake, Cao Zhonghou is awake!" ”

Immediately after, footsteps sounded, and one figure after another shook in front of them. Cao Peng felt groggy and wanted to sit up, but he was weak.

The line of sight gradually returned to normal, and the face in front of him gradually became clearer.

There is Gan Ning, there is Dianman, and there is Xu Yi...... "Where is this?" What's wrong with me? ”

At least one thing is certain, I didn't cross again.

Kan Ze hurriedly asked someone to call the doctor, and at the same time helped Cao Peng to sit up, and put a thick mattress under him...... "Childe, you have frightened us all." ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Peng asked weakly, still a little unclear about the reason for the matter.

He remembered that after setting fire to the white horse, he killed three more Yuan soldiers, and then jumped into the well and burrowed into the cave in the wall of the well.

It was cold at first!

Later, as the fire grew bigger, Cao Peng began to feel hot.

A fire in Hakuba boiled the well water...... I heard a scream, and the water vapor was steaming in front of me, and then I didn't remember anything.

"This is Puyang, do you remember?"

"Puyang? I remember if I wasn't in Whitehorse? How could it be...... By the way, how is the battle of the White Horse? Is Yan Liang dead? Big Bear You Bo said, how are they? ”

"Childe, just rest assured.

The fifth prince and Hao Zhao Xiahou are fine, their situation is better than yours, although they can't stay yet, but they have woken up two days ago. ”

"Hmm!"

"Yan Liang is also dead.

However, it is not clear who killed him, but his head was found outside the city...... Of the 8,000 sharp soldiers of Yuan's army, none of them escaped, and even their bones were reduced to ashes. But the white horse ...... I'm afraid it's going to be rebuilt! It was in ruins. ”

Cao Peng listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about Liu Bei? What is the situation with the lord? ”

Liu Bei's army was wiped out, but he and his people are missing.

Puyang has been recaptured, and when the lord returns to Baima with his troops...... You don't know how surprised the lord was at that time.

The fire was too big to be controlled, and it wasn't until noon the next day that the fire was extinguished...... It was only after dark that you could barely enter. When we found you, the well water was about to be burned dry. You were unconscious inside, and the lord immediately ordered me to send you to Puyang...... However, the Yuan army began to cross the river, and the battle on the Yanjin side seemed to be a little tense, so the lord brought people to support. Leave me to take care of you. It's been three whole days, but it freaked us out! Xingba secretly shed tears several times......"

"Dianman, you are talking nonsense."

Gan Ning was furious on the side, "When did you see me crying?" ”

"Didn't you? You were still hiding in the back of the house last night, saying sorry Miss, sorry Huang Gong......"

"You ......"

Cao Peng only felt that the roots of his ears were buzzing, and his head was confused for a while.

"Okay, okay, don't argue, it's a good thing that Childe woke up, if you continue to quarrel like this, it will disturb Childe's rest."

Kan Ze saw Gan Ning and Dian Man arguing, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Let's all go down first, and let Childe be quiet."

Only then did everyone notice Cao Peng's depressed state, so they said goodbye and walked out of the room.

A moment later, the doctor arrived, checked Cao Peng, checked his pulse, and confirmed that Cao Peng was fine, but just needed to rest.

With Kan Ze's support, Cao Peng lay down again, dazed, and soon fell asleep.
