Chapter 272: Drop the Baggage and Run

Yuan Xu broke Cao's army and seriously injured Zhang Liao, and the news soon spread to Yecheng.

The defeat of the White Horse caused the morale of Yuan's army to plummet.

Hebei Yuanjia is in need of a victory!

In order to expand their influence and boost morale, the Yuan family announced that they had annihilated 2,000 enemies, killed three of Cao's generals, and the main general Zhang Liao was wounded and escaped.

Yecheng Barracks.

Yuan Shao stood on the platform, and in front of him was the soldiers of the Yuan army who could not see the end of the black pressure.

The soldiers were neatly dressed and looked up at Yuan Shao one by one.

Looking around at the armies, Yuan Shao shouted: "It has been a long time since a certain person sent a message to ask Cao Wei, Yan Liang's army was defeated by Baima, and Wen Chou sent troops to Yanjin. Our army is not in a good position! Today, there is good news! ”

Tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers were present, but they could smell each other's breathing.

"My son Xianxin attacked on the white horse, killed the head of the Cao army of 2,000, three Cao generals died on the battlefield, and the main general Zhang Liao was seriously injured and fled." Yuan Shao shouted: "This is the great luck of the Yuan family, the great luck of Hebei!" ”

"Yuan Gong is mighty!" Someone raised his arms and shouted: "The fifth prince is mighty!" ”

Yuan Xu crusaded against Taihang, and his reputation had already spread among Yuan's army.

Most of the soldiers of Yuan Jun had never seen him, but they had an inexplicable reverence for him!

On the battlefield, the soldiers revere the most is the general who can lead them to victory!

Yan Liang's army was defeated, Yuan Xu turned the tide and broke Cao's army, and he had erected an image of victory in a hundred battles in the hearts of the soldiers!

Someone took the lead, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Yuan Gong is mighty!" The five sons are mighty! ”

The sound of the mountain was deafening, and Yuan Shao pressed his hand with satisfaction.

"Xianxin has repeatedly made war exploits, although he is not in Yecheng, the three armies can be a proof." Yuan Shao shouted: "Canonize Yuan Xian Xindian Military Captain." For the sake of Cao Xianxian! ”

The soldiers of the Yuan army cheered again.

The news of Yuan Xu's canonization of the military academy soon spread to Baima.

When the soldiers stationed on the white horse learned about it, they also cheered endlessly.

Canonized Lieutenant. Yuan Shao also gave a lot of rewards.

Fine wine, silk silk, Yuan Xu did not leave a single one. All used to reward meritorious soldiers.

Such a move made the soldiers even more enthusiastic.

Zhang Liao was ambushed when he went out of the city and was seriously injured for many days.

Lying on the cover, looking at Guan Yu who was sitting on the side, he said helplessly: "If you don't listen to Yun Chang's words, you almost died on the battlefield, but it's a pity that hundreds of soldiers who went out of the city with a certain ......"

"Wen Yuan doesn't have to mind." Guan Yu said: "Yuan Xianxin conquered Taihang, but Qingzhou was defeated. Cao Gong didn't dare to despise him, so we just had to stay closed. With only 5,000 soldiers and horses, he can't break the white horse. ”

"What Yun Chang said is very true!" Zhang Liao sighed: "Cao Gong is generous, he will not be responsible, but he is ...... in his heart."

Patting him lightly on the shoulder, Guan Yu said, "Don't think about it, I'll go to patrol the city here." ”

The news of Zhang Liao's defeat and serious injuries reached Yanjin.

All the generals under Cao Cao's command were a little worried.

Liu Yan has been guarding the white horse for a long time, but his martial arts are ordinary, and he must not be Guan Yu's opponent.

Zhang Liao was seriously wounded, and it would take several days for Cao's army to rush to help. Guan Yu is unscrupulous, even if the city is opened, no one can stop him.

"Do you have to order the cavalry to go to the White Horse first?" Cao Ren asked Cao Cao.

"No need!" Cao Cao said: "You and other worries are none other than Guan Yunchang. A certain cloud chief believes in him! He will not open the city and surrender. ”

Still not at ease, Cao Ren is inconvenient to say.

Yuan Xu also knew that Zhang Liao was seriously injured.

Looking at the White Horse Castle Wall. Ma Yi said: "Gongzi and Guan Yunchang are old friends, Liu Xuande is in Hebei, can you ......?"

"Can you persuade Guan Yunchang to sacrifice the city?" Interrupt Ma Yi. Yuan Xu said: "It may be okay to be someone else, if it is Guan Yunchang." To mention this is nothing more than humiliation to him. ”

Ma Yi was puzzled.

"Guan Yun is loyal and righteous, and Cao Cao captured him without the slightest humiliation. but there are many rewards. Yuan Xu said: "What's more, Cao Cao's treatment of Liu Xuande's two wives is also innocent, and he owes such a great affection, how can Guan Yunchang be willing to turn his back on it?" ”

"Could it be that he wants to be an enemy of Liu Xuande?" Ma Yi was puzzled.

"Of course not!" Yuan Xu said with a smile: "No matter how much Cao Cao rewards, he can't match brotherhood. persuaded him to sacrifice the white horse, but he didn't have to think about it anymore! ”

There is no fighting on the front line of the White Horse.

In the Yanjin area, the main force of Cao's army quietly turned to Baima, and Cao Cao led a small army to cross the river.

He had arrived in Yanjin and learned that Cao's army had crossed the river, and Wen Chou immediately ordered the whole line to advance.

He had 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and Liu Bei brought 1,000, a total of 6,000 soldiers to approach Cao's army on the bank of the Yellow River.

Only a few generals such as Guo Jia and Cao Ren stayed in Yanjin with Cao Cao.

Standing on the side of the Yellow River, Cao Cao looked to the north.

A fast horse galloped in.

When he got closer, the knight turned over and jumped down and hugged his fists and said, "Qi Cao Gong, Wen Chou leads six thousand troops and is approaching our army." ”

Cao Ren said: "Cao Gong will go first, and the end will be broken." ”

"Wen Chou is here, if he doesn't fight, won't he be despised by him." Cao Cao said indifferently.

"Feng Xiao can have a way to deal with it?" He looked at Guo Jia.

"Wen Chou is a reckless man, and there is no staff in the army to accompany him. Although Liu Bei is here, he is not a subordinate of Hebei, how can he be trusted? Although there are many enemy troops, why worry about it? Guo Jia said: "When the enemy is approaching, Cao Gong can order the soldiers to abandon the carriage and horses. When the enemy sees that our army is small, he will not take it to heart. Wait for the enemy to snatch the baggage, and our army will turn back and fight! ”

"Filial piety!" Cao Cao smiled indifferently and waited for Wen Chou's army to advance.

Leading the army to advance to the bank of the Yellow River, Liu Bei said to Wen Chou: "Cao Cao is treacherous, and the general should be cautious." ”

Wen Chou said lightly: "Cao Cao only has 600 cavalry, and our army has 6,000, and one person will drown them if he pees." So that you don't have to worry, just see that a certain enemy is broken. ”

The strength is superior, Yuan Jun has more victories and fewer defeats, but Liu Bei has an indescribable uneasiness.

Slowing down the war horse, he approached Zhang Fei and whispered: "I always feel uneasy in my heart, and the third brother should be cautious." ”

Zhang Fei said: "One only cares about his brother, and he doesn't care about anything else." ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything more, and advanced with the army to the bank of the Yellow River.

Getting closer and closer to the Yellow River, Cao Jun could already be seen in the distance.

Wen Chou raised his knife and pointed at it, and shouted loudly: "Capture Cao Cao!" ”

Thousands of Yuan troops shouted and rode their horses towards Cao's army.

Seeing Yuan Jun rushing towards him, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Drop your baggage and retreat quickly!" ”

Cao's soldiers followed Cao Cao and withdrew eastward.

When they were about to evacuate, they left behind their baggage.

Some Cao soldiers even deliberately overturned the baggage carts, scattering grain, grass, and copper coins all over the place.

Cao Cao retreated, a few Yuan troops rode in pursuit, and many more were busy looting the scattered supplies.

Yuan Jun, who chased out, found that his companions did not follow, and when he looked back, he saw that everyone was busy grabbing the copper coins scattered on the ground, and they also withdrew one after another.

The scene was chaotic, and Liu Bei reminded Wen Chou: "Cao Cao saw that our army had just withdrawn when he arrived, so he should have a plan." The general should pass down the military order and pursue it with all his might, and must not condone the soldiers to loot the baggage. (To be continued.) )
