Yuan Shao and Cao Cao confronted each other in Cangting, and as soon as they exchanged troops, both sides had their own victories and defeats. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Cao Cao was worried that the grain and grass would not be available, so he asked: "Do the princes have a good plan to defeat Yuan Shao quickly?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Prime Minister, I have a ten-sided ambush plan to capture Yuan Shao. As soon as Cheng Yu said the strategy, Cao Cao clapped his hands and ordered all the armies to act according to the plan.

In the middle of the night of the second day, Xu Chu took a sentry and went straight to Yuan Shao's camp, pretending to rob the camp and steal the village. Yuan Shao really hit the plan, and personally led the five-way army to chase after him. Seeing this, Xu Chu returned to the horse and left, Yuan Shao led the army to catch up, and when it was dawn, he saw that there was a big river in front of him, and Cao's army had nowhere to escape. Yuan Shaozheng was proud, and suddenly heard the sound of killing shaking the sky, and a group of people were killed on both sides of the river, which were Cao Cao and Cao Hong. Two sides of a pincer, and Xu Chu also covered the troops to kill back, unstoppable, and beheaded more than ten Yuan Shao's generals, Yuan Shao's army was suddenly in chaos.

Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the troops to return to the camp, and in the middle of the line, he suddenly heard a drum sound, Xiahou Yuan on the left, Gao Lan on the right, and the two armies were killed. Yuan Shao was shocked and fled. After walking less than ten miles, the left side was Lejin, and the right side was forbidden to kill, only to kill Yuan Jun's corpses all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river. After walking less than a few miles, Li Dian on the left and Xu Huang on the right, each led the two armies to intercept and kill for a while. Yuan Shao's father and son were frightened, and fled back to the old village in a hurry, so that the three armies set up a pot to cook. However, the food in the pot was just right, and when it was about to be eaten, Zhang Liao on the left and Zhang He on the right led troops into the village. Yuan Shao hurriedly got on his horse and went straight to Cangting, just about to rest, when Cao Cao personally led the army to come, and Yuan Shao had to give up his life and leave. Between the main lines, Liu Yong on the right and Xiahoudun on the left blocked the way.

Yuan Shao was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, so he had to shout with a strong spirit: "Generals, if we don't fight to the death, we will be captured by Cao Cao." "Yuan Jun was sleepy and weak, and he had no strength to fight, so he had to fight hard to escape, and finally managed to keep Yuan Shao out of the encirclement.

Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Xi and Gao Gan were shot and wounded by Cao Jun, and the soldiers and horses were also killed and wounded, he was angry and anxious, and he vomited blood in his mouth, and sighed in the sky: "I think I, Yuan Shao, have experienced dozens of large and small battles since I led the troops, but I have never been so defeated as Guandu and Cangting. "Yuan Shao ordered Xin Ping and Guo Tu to return to Qingzhou with Yuan Tan to prevent Cao Cao from violating the border; Yuan Xi was ordered to return to Youzhou, and Gao Gan still returned to Merge State, and Yuan Shang was ordered to temporarily take charge of the military with the trial and discipline, and returned to Jizhou to recuperate, preparing to fight Cao Cao again in the coming year.

Cao Cao won a great victory in Cangting, and he was overjoyed, and ordered a banquet to reward the three armies, and ordered someone to investigate the reality of Jizhou. Soon after, he reported that "Yuan Shao is sick in bed." Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan each returned to Benzhou, and only Yuan Shang and Xian Pei stuck to the city. The strategists persuaded that they should take the opportunity to send troops to Jizhou and not give Yuan Shao a chance to breathe.

Cao Cao asked Liu Yong: "How is Chongruyi?" ”

Liu Yong arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister." Although Yuan Shao was defeated, he still occupied the four states, and he still had more food than us, and his troops were still stronger than ours. Yuan Shao has worked hard to run Jizhou for many years, the Yecheng River is deep and thick, the food is abundant, and the trial is extremely resourceful, even if our army attacks the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to attack for a while. Our army is short of food and herbs, and the soldiers are extremely tired from fighting day after day, if they are greedy for merit and rash to advance, they will be cut off by Yuan Shao, and they will not be able to overcome the soldiers of Jizhou in the front, and they will not be able to cross the Yellow River in the future, and they may have the worry of annihilation of the whole army. ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded slightly, and said, "Chongru thinks the same as me." Moreover, if the harvest is ripe, and if there is another war, and the people will have to flee for their lives, who will harvest the harvest? In my opinion, it is not too late to wait for Jizhou after the autumn harvest. So he ordered Cao Hong to guard the cangting, and he led the army back to Xudu. Liu Yong made great contributions to these two battles, Cao Cao played the imperial court, and Liu Yong was the general of Yangwei and the Marquis of Mu Xiang, and his generals and schools were all promoted.

At this time, the intelligence network established by Liu Yong through the Mizhu shop had already been extended in all directions, and the transmission of carrier pigeons had become the norm. Liu Yong also set up a special line to communicate with Wancheng, but it was also a lot more convenient. It's just that Liu Yong apologizes every time he communicates, when is this a head, only the battle of Guandu and Cangting took nearly a year, if you want to pacify the four states of Hebei, I am afraid that it will not take three or five years? Even if I, Liu Yong, can wait, those three girls can't afford to wait. Liu Yong was worried, but Da Qiao and Dong Yun were relieved to reply to him, which made him even more ashamed, and he just wanted to escape as soon as possible and return to Anhui City.

Diao Chan saw that Liu Yong was bored, so he persuaded: "Childe, I don't think it's easy for a person to figure it out, why don't you discuss it with others?" Liu Yongmao suddenly opened up, asked Chen Deng, and exchanged secret letters with Liu Bei to discuss related matters.

On this day, Liu Yong planned to stop and offered advice to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister." Hebei, Qing, You, and the four states have a vast territory, a large population, and rich specialties, if it takes time, Yuan Shao will recover his vitality, and it will be difficult for the prime minister to calm down again, according to Liu Yong's opinion, the prime minister should make a decision as soon as possible and send troops as soon as possible. ”

Cao Cao is now almost obedient to Liu Yong, and said happily: "Chongru has any good plan, tell me quickly." ”

Liu Yong arched his hand and said: "The prime minister reused Wei Qi, Zaoyi, Han Hao, etc. to promote Tuntian, and it was very effective. Today, the people of the states live and work in peace and contentment, with abundant grain and grass, and sufficient soldiers. Not only that, but the prime ministers of the battles of Guandu and Cangting gained a lot, and they could also use this to buy grain from Sun Quan and Liu Biao. Liu Biao is afraid of the power of the prime minister and Sun Quan is too busy to take care of himself, so he will not dare to shirk the blame, so that the prime minister's army will have no food and grass. ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, and listened to Liu Yong continue: "The prime minister can divide the army into three ways. Take the left road out of Hanoi, take Binh Duong, peep into the state of high cadres; The right road out of Xuzhou, follow the Beihai, spy on Yuan Tan in Qingzhou, these two roads need to be silent; Prime Minister Cheng led a large army to attack Jizhou, with a small army to Yanjin and Chaoge, feint to attack Yecheng, and the army raided Baima and captured Liyang. Liyang is the throat of Jizhou, if Liyang is lost, Yecheng is not guaranteed. Yuan Shao will recruit soldiers from the three states of Merge, Qing and Youzhou to rescue. At this time, the left and right armies came out together, and the two states were within reach. The prime minister repeatedly attacked from three sides, taking Jizhou like a bag and taking things. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, praised his head, and instructed his ministers to act according to Liu Yong's strategy. Just after the wheat harvest in July, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun and Manzhong to guard Runan to reject Liu Bei; Cao Ren and Cheng Yu stayed in Xudu; Then the troops were divided into three routes, attacking Bingzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou respectively.

Yuan Shao was sick in bed at this time, and all political affairs were entrusted to Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang really hit the plan and put most of the army in Yanjin, and when he got the news that Cao Cao's main force was in Liyang, he couldn't save it. When Yuan Shao heard that Liyang was lost, he was so angry and anxious that he vomited blood, and in a hurry entrusted the aftermath to Yuan Shang, and died of anger.

After Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Shang was appointed as a general by the trial and Feng Ji, leading the governors of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states, and recruiting Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan to guard Yecheng, but they were ambushed by Cao Cao's left and right armies for a long time and took the opportunity to rob most of the cities in Bingzhou and Qingzhou. The Yuan brothers were anxious and afraid, so they had to stick to Yecheng and not come out. The city of Ye was extremely strong, and there was a lot of grain and grass in storage, and Cao Cao attacked the city day after day, not only did not move a single bit, but the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties.

Guo Jia offered a plan: "Yuan Shao abolished the elder and the young, the brothers were out of harmony, and the courtiers were not satisfied. It's just that because we are in a hurry to attack, we have no choice but to form an alliance. It is better for the prime minister to return to Jingzhou, and hypothetically recruit Liu Biao. When the Yuan brothers saw the prime minister withdrawing their troops, they would fight with each other, and we waited to wait for the opportunity to move, but we could break them one by one. ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, and then asked Liu Yong, "What do you think of Chongru?" ”

Liu Yong bowed and said, "What Brother Feng Xiao has seen is extremely true. It's just that I thought that the prime minister didn't have to retreat too far south, and Liu Yong had his own plan to take Yecheng...... "Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this, leaving Zhang Liao and Liu Yong to guard Liyang, and pretending to march to Jingzhou with his own army.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were already harboring ghosts, and when they heard that Cao Cao's army was retreating, they really no longer thought of brotherhood, and each raised troops to attack. After two battles, Yuan Tan was defeated and trapped in the city of the plains. Seeing this, Liu Yong said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, now that Yuan Shang's army is mostly in the plains, Jizhou is empty, please tell the prime minister quickly, and immediately lead the troops to get it." ”

Liu Yong took his 500 soldiers, broke them into pieces, pretended to be Yuan Shangjun, and sneaked into Yecheng. In the middle of the night, Pei Yuanshao led the second, third, and fourth battalions to post notices of surrender everywhere in the city, and then set fires everywhere, shouting loudly, and pretending to mutiny; Liu Yong, Dong Xi and Zhou Cang led a battalion and a spy company to attack the city gate. Ordinary soldiers were the opponents of Liu Yong's special combat team, and after a while, the city gate fell into Liu Yong's hands.

When the judge heard that the gate was lost, he hurriedly brought someone to rescue him, but he didn't expect Liu Yong and others to be ambushed in the middle of the road, and he was immediately captured. Liu Yong searched for the arrow from the interrogator. At this time, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang had entered the city with their men, and Liu Yong handed over the task of guarding the city gate to Xu Huang, and he gathered his subordinates to accompany them, only saying that they were going to extinguish the fire, but in fact they rushed to Yuan Shao's mansion. The guards of the Yuan Mansion were panicking, when they suddenly saw a group of soldiers dressed as the headquarters come in and hurriedly said, "Who are you?" ”

Liu Yong flashed the arrow in his hand and said, "Don't have an order, Cao's army has entered the city, and we will come to rescue Madame." Flee for your lives. ”

When the defenders saw that the arrows were correct, and heard that the gates had fallen, they scattered in terror. At this time, the Yuan Mansion was already in chaos, the maid ring and the slave rolled up with gold and silver and fled, each running for their lives, crying constantly, Liu Yong walked all the way unhindered, and came to the back hall in an instant.

Two women in the main room in the backyard were hugging their heads and crying, and when they heard a rush of footsteps into the house, they were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped crying, and secretly came to look, only to see dozens of people carrying knives and arrows, but their heads and faces were covered with cloths, leaving only two eyeballs, and they were even more frightened, but they heard someone ask: "Who are you two?" ”

The woman, who was about forty years old, replied tremblingly: "The concubine is Liu, the wife of General Yuan, and this is Zhen, the wife of my son Yuan Xi." ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Ming people don't do dark things, and our brothers were originally under Yuan Gong." It's just that Jizhou City has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, and the Yuan family has gone, so we have to find another way to survive. The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and Mrs. is not strange. ”

Seeing that Liu Yong's tone was a little kind, Liu Shi had a little more hope in his heart, so he knelt down and kowtowed: "Everything in the house is taken by the general, just to spare my life." ”

Liu Yong smiled coldly and said, "I'll take care of it ourselves, and Mrs. Lao doesn't care." It's just that of the two of you, I'm going to take one of you, which one does Madame say she wants to take? After hearing this, Liu hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law here looks beautiful and beautiful, and I am willing to offer the general, please let go of the concubine." Liu Yong sighed in his heart, only to see Zhen's unkempt face and unable to see his appearance clearly. I thought it was because I heard Liu's heartless words, I was sad in my heart, and I cried again.

"Take it." Liu Yong commanded softly and walked out of the back door with Zhen.

After a while, Cao Pi led the army into the mansion, and heard that Liu's family said that Zhen was captured by the defeated soldiers, so he was anxious and angry, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to look for it, but where to find it in the chaos of the soldiers, so he had to give up in a daze.

Zhou Cang saw that Liu Yong had put so much effort and thought into it, just for a woman, so he was angry and asked: "Brother Liu has already set three family affairs, and the young ladies are all like flowers and jade, why is it that they are so troubled for an unknown woman?" (To be continued.) )
