Cao Zhang asked Shi Jian to count the number of troops when he was marching, and the tiger and leopard rode without injuring a single person, the halberd soldiers died thirty-six, and the marching army killed seventy-eight people, most of whom were burned by fire.

Legend has it that Cao Cao cut off the captives' ears after breaking the black nest in history and let the remnants of the army give them to Yuan Shao, so as to humiliate him, Cao Zhang also thought about doing this at the beginning, but if he took the time to catch the remnants of the army and cut off his ears just now, I was afraid that there would be a sergeant who would be killed in the fire, and he didn't think that there would be a defeated army that was not long-eyed and would bring his ears to Yuan Shao for appreciation, which was equivalent to sending him to death, and it was better to run away.
Walking out of the inaccessible remote road, the scenery suddenly opened up, and the shallows of the chasm water were in sight, Cao Zhang's mood suddenly brightened, and he laughed with one arm and said: "Sons! Today, our army has done its best! You are all heroes! ”
The sergeants waved their weapons and cheered loudly, and many sergeants hit each other's weapons to make a sound, the atmosphere was warm, Cao Zhang smiled at Zhang Liao beside him: "General Zhang is brave!" But Chun Yu Qiong's merits will be truthfully listed. ”
Zhang Liao's face is like purple jade, his eyes are like stars, his figure is burly, and he looks like a handsome guy in the north, and he smiled gently when he heard this: "Thanks to the third prince, the enemy is like a god, and the command is determined." ”
Cao Zhang, after the cheers were quieter, shouted excitedly: "If you encounter Yuan Shao's army at this time, what should the brothers do?" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The sergeants screamed out in unison, all of them red-faced and red-eared, and their blood was spurting.
Cao Zhang chuckled at Chen Zhi beside him: "Uncle Zhi knows why I asked this?" ”
Chen Zhi was silent, although he was strong in martial arts, but he had never read any military books, let alone formal combat experience, he was all robbing with thieves, and he had some experience in collecting and surrendering prisoners and training sergeants, but he was a bit of a layman in marching and fighting, so he didn't know.
But Cao Zhang has already gained a lot of experience after all these years of experience, Chen Zhi is his follower, so naturally he can't be too much, so he has to let his ears and eyes be touched, so that he can hope to be independent.
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Now that the black nest is burned, the flames are soaring, I am afraid that the two battalions of the enemy and us can see clearly, Yuan Shao's sergeants and 400,000 people have to eat, and the matter of burning grain and grass will not be hidden, and there will be deserters, although we are some distance away from the Yuan army camp, but the deserters are panicked, maybe they will encounter, we will fight all night, in order to show fatigue, if we do not mobilize their morale, it will be difficult to effectively organize the attack if we encounter a large number of deserters, and even will be scattered." ”
Chen Zhi nodded thoughtfully, and Zhang Liao and Shi Jian on the side were surprised by Cao Zhang's outstanding military sense, and their faces were quite appreciative.
When the army came to the bank of the chasm water shoal, and was about to cross the river, as Cao Zhang expected, the shouts from the upper reaches came, and when they looked in that direction, they were a group of more than 1,000 stragglers, these stragglers were dressed in Yuan Jun uniforms, and they were naturally fleeing sergeants.
These sergeants were scattered, there was no main general, and at first glance they were soldiers who had fled, and Cao Zhang shouted when he saw this: "Halberd crosses the river!" The tiger and leopard rider will follow me to disperse this group of Yuan troops! With that, he waved his spear and rode away.
The tiger and leopard riders roared in unison and rushed towards the stragglers, while the halberders crossed the river in an orderly manner.
This group of sergeants who had fled from the army, where did they have the intention of resisting, seeing this group of wolves and tigers, heavily armed tiger and leopard riders, they immediately scattered and fled, Cao Zhang led the army to kill for a while and captured one person alive and asked: "How is the battle between the two armies now?" ”
The sergeant stammered and replied, "Last night, I... No.. Last night, the Yuan army suddenly ordered a large crossing of the river to attack the Cao camp, but it was defeated by the Cao army many times, with heavy casualties, and the Cao army shouted again this morning, saying that our army's grain and grass had been burned out, and it happened that someone saw the north of the camp at dawn The flames were soaring, and today the smell of scorching has spread to the camp, everyone is in danger, there have been many people who have fled, and then there are sergeants who have fled, and now the Yuan army camp has been in chaos. ”
Cao Zhang smiled: "You answered very well, methodical, not like a farmer, what is your name, what kind of job do you hold?" Tell me! ”
The sergeant was even more frightened when he heard this, and said, "Small, small, small, the small one's name is Yuan Dalu, and he is a general... Oh.. No. No.. It is the scholar of the Yuan Shao clan, and his clan recognizes the Sima of the Ministry in the army, and the younger one is the military marquis under his command. ”
"Marquis! The official is not small, it is rare to be a scholar, he must know a few words, okay, you go back with me, I want to see if your kid is lying, if you are a child of the Yuan family and not a scholar, then the young master, I will hack you to death! After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he let a tiger and leopard ride the man's armor and put it on his horse, and then crossed the river and returned to the camp.
Cao Zhang took the army back to Cao Ying, and was immediately called by Cao Cao to the Chinese army camp, passing by the camp when all the sergeants regardless of the rank and size of the salute to Cao Zhang, Cao Cao had already ordered to stick to the camp, so at dawn they all saw the sky-high fire of the black nest clearly, and inquired to know that it was him, the third son of the Cao family, who went to raid the granary of the Yuan army, all of whom were in the army, and naturally knew the importance of the granary.
The retreat of the Yuan army also had to face the severe test of fleeing for his life hungry, and in this case, in the face of the pursuit of the Cao army, the loss was unimaginable, so the Cao army knew that Cao Zhang was the key to this victory, which is why these sergeants paid tribute to him.
Cao Zhang smiled and saluted the sergeants, seeing that there were many people coming and going in the camp, although there were many wounded soldiers, but everyone looked excited, and all the way back to the camp and saw that the corpses outside the camp were mostly Yuan Jun, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and the most difficult crisis was finally over.
When he came to the Chinese army camp, the sides of the camp were already full of people, except for Shi Lian to settle the wounded soldiers, even Zhang Liao also sat in the camp, Cao Zhang was the slowest one, that was because he had to deal with enthusiastic sergeants.
As soon as he entered the camp, Cao Zhang first saluted Cao Cao, Cao Cao was still dressed in military uniform at this time, and laughed when he saw Cao Zhang: "Ziwen is indeed a good son of my Cao family!" Today's defeat of Yuan Shao, Ziwen has made great contributions! ”
Now Cao Cao is also carried away, under the haze of the confrontation between Yuan Shaoxiong's soldiers is Cao Zhang, who opened a smooth road to victory for him, if it is any person, Cao Cao will not be so happy, because after all, he is an outsider, he will be restrained, but this person is his own son, and Cao Cao knows that his food and grass are not as sufficient as Yuan Shao, because he does not have the support of local heroes, and the result of the stalemate is that his Cao army retreats because of the shortage of soldiers' food, and he will lose at that time, so he will "take the credit" These words were given to Cao Zhang.
However, the strategists and generals present all agreed with Cao Cao's words, the facts are in front of them, if Cao Zhang's strategy of attacking the granary is insisted on, this victory is impossible, and it is Cao Zhang who found out the location of the granary and led his troops to break the granary.
Cao Zhang said humbly: "It is the merit of all the soldiers who fought to the death, how dare they claim to be self-assured!" After speaking, he came to the side and knelt beside Cao Pi, Guo Jia and Liu Ye on the other side. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at Cao Zhang with admiration at the same time, and they did not hide it.
Cao Pi next to him poked Cao Zhang with his thumb and whispered: "Good job!" ”
Cao Zhang's heart was happy, Yuan Shao had already kicked off the prelude to defeat, and then he had to rely on the time to sweep away Yuan Shao's forces and strike hard at the clan that pressed his net worth on Yuan Shao! At this time, although the wheel of history was still moving along the established track, it had begun to slowly deviate with Cao Zhang's increasing influence on it.
