Chapter 228: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Yuan Wei knew that it would not be so easy to leave Runan.
Originally, Boss Cao mobilized an army of 200,000 and spent so much money and food, if he let you run away easily, wouldn't he be a bamboo basket to draw water?
Of course, Boss Cao is not willing to do this kind of loss-making business.
Therefore, when it was found that Yuan Jun wanted to break through, Cao Jun would inevitably try to exhaust all means to encircle and intercept him.
This is the same as when the Central Red Army was transferred in, Peanut Rice mobilized hundreds of thousands of central troops and local troops to surround and intercept them.
The mistake was not a last resort, Yuan did not actually want to follow the example of the Central Red Army to transfer.
But if you don't go, you can't go, Yuan doesn't want to stay in Runan and fight with Cao Cao, sacrificing himself, but being picked by others, even if the person who picked the peaches is his uncle, that's not okay.
Yuan knew that it was not easy to break through, and he had already been mentally prepared.
But it is one thing to be prepared, but it is another thing to really come to the end, and it was only after a dozen or so Cao Jun crushed from all directions like a vicious dog that Yuan Wei really realized the danger.
This is good, this is really walking on thin ice.
The slightest carelessness will immediately end up being defeated and killed.
Fortunately, Yuan Que has also been prepared for a long time, and from the day he first decided on the guerrilla tactics, Yuan Que has been making careful preparations for today's golden cicada shelling.
Yuan No @ ⊙ believes in a truth, opportunities will only be left to those who are prepared!
For this golden cicada shelling, Yuan Wei has prepared two layers of shells!
I can't hide it from you if I take off one shell, but I can't hide it from you when I take off two shells?
Taking the opportunity of the army to recuperate, Yuan Wei called Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua to him.
"Yuan Shao. Yuan Jian. Will our army be able to break through smoothly this time? But it's up to you, and you should remember that you will hide in the mountains as soon as dawn, and don't let Cao's sentry cavalry know your exact strength. Yuan Fu patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said in a heartfelt tone, "I believe in you, you will not let me down." ”
Liao Hua replied solemnly: "Son, rest assured, the last general will never be dishonored." ”
Yuan Wei nodded. He turned back to Ding Feng and said, "Ah Feng, bring me my Da Xu." ”
Ding Feng agreed, and handed over the big silk embroidered with "Later General Yuan" on Yuan No's side.
Yuan Wei took the big silk, handed it to Liao Hua with both hands, and said solemnly: "Yuan Jian, I will hand over the big silk to you, I hope that when I return to Runan, you can hand it back to me with your own hands." ”
Liao Hua took the big silk and said loudly: "Don't worry, the son is here!" ”
Yuan Fu patted Liao Hua on the shoulder again. Then he punched Pei Yuanshao in the chest, and then turned around and walked away.
Immediately afterwards, Le, Taishi, Ci, Ganning, generals, and more than 1,000 Yuan soldiers also left one after another. However, what is strange is that Yuan Fu and his soldiers did not go south along Rushui, but turned a corner and disappeared into a forest.
After Yuan Wei and the others left, Pei Yuanshao whispered to Liao Hua: "Yuan Jian, do we really want to listen to Yuan No?" ”
"How?" Liao Hua turned his head and looked at Pei Yuanshao coldly, and asked, "Yuanshao, do you have any better suggestions?" ”
Pei Yuanshao said: "Yuan Nuo did this, it was obvious that he was using us as a substitute for the dead ghosts, so that we could lead away the Cao army chasing the soldiers, so that he could run away." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what's the substitute for the dead ghost?" Liao Hua said unhappily, "Before leaving, the prince said, we don't need to fight with Cao Jun head-on, if the limelight is not right, the big deal is to turn it into pieces and hide in the old forests in the mountains, even if Cao Jun has a million troops, what can I do?" Childe, do you want us to be substitutes for the dead? ”
Pei Yuanshao was not convinced, and said: "Then he also wants to leave us and run away alone." ”
Liao Hua patiently explained: "Childe doesn't want to leave us, this is a division of troops, do you know the division of troops?" After getting rid of Cao Jun's pursuers and settling down the old and young women and children, we can still go to Jizhou to join him. ”
Pei Yuanshao said again: "You said it lightly, he Yuan ran away by himself, but left us in Runan, separated from Jizhou by thousands of mountains and rivers, how can we get over?" ”
Liao Hua became angry and said, "If you don't want to, you can not go, I will go alone." ”
Pei Yuanshao hurriedly said: "Yuanjian, what do you call this?" I Pei Yuanshao has nothing else, I am full of righteousness, since you are determined to follow Yuan No, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, the big deal is a death, don't forget, we are brothers in life and death, I just feel a little that Yuan Quan is not worthy of our life and allegiance. ”
"You know!" Liao Hua scolded very unceremoniously, "I see that you drink all day long, and you are stupid to drink your brains, don't look at Yuan Zhi's young age, but the background of the family is there, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, how noble?" In terms of ability, he can defeat the Jiangdong little overlord Sun Ce and Liu Bei at a young age, how can he be easy to match? ”
Where did Pei Yuanshao understand this, he was stunned by Liao Hua.
Liao Hua said again: "Look, among the several princes who will fight for the world in the future, there will definitely be Yuan No." ”
I have to say that it is not for nothing that Liao Hua can become the general of Shu Han in the later period, at least, Liao Hua's vision of people is still extremely accurate, he can see at a glance from the heroes of the troubled times that it is worth following the loyal lord, but in the real history, he sees Liu Bei, and in this time and space, he sees Yuan No.
"Trust me." Liao Hua patted Pei Yuanshao's shoulder, and then said, "Whether you and my brother can seal their wives and sons and achieve a career depends on Yuan No." ”
Pei Yuanshao said: "Okay, just listen to you." ”
Liao Hua nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”
"Yes, let's go." Pei Yuanshao nodded, then turned back to the more than 1,000 thieves lined up behind him and shouted, "Fucking light the torches, two branches per person, and then pull out of the marching army." ”
(Dividing Line)
"Lord, lord......" Cao Cao was woken up from his sleep by Xu Chu.
Cao Cao was startled and asked urgently, "Zhongkang, but is Yuan Xiao'er coming to the camp?" ”
However, as soon as the words came out, Cao Cao's expression immediately relaxed, and before the camp, he had already ordered Cao Chun Shi Jian to lead two thousand essences to ambush in the dense forest on both sides of the camp.
If Yuan Wei Xiao'er dares to come, it will be a self-defeating net, which will save trouble.
Sure enough, Xu Chu shook his head when he heard the words and said, "No, it was Yuan Jun who changed the route of the march. ”
"Well, Yuan Jun changed the route of the march?" Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.
When Cao Cao walked outside the front tent, Xun You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu had already gathered.
Guo Jia also yawned a few times, obviously sleepy, and Cao Cao didn't care, because he knew that the number one think tank under his command was weak, and it was strange if he wasn't sleepy.
As soon as Cao Cao came in, Xun You walked to the screen with the map hanging with an oil lamp, and then pointed to the map and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, just now the sentry cavalry returned, after nightfall, Yuan's army did not garrison, but turned to the west overnight, and marched straight to Ancheng. ”
"Anseong?" Cao Cao stared at the map, and a pair of thick eyebrows immediately frowned, "Does Yuan want to do it?" ”
"Two possibilities." Xun You said, "The first possibility, this is Yuan No's golden cicada shelling plan, the purpose is to mobilize our army to pursue, and after our army is in the plan, Yuan Fu can calmly cross Rushui from Da Lu Ting to the east and go to Peiguo." ”
"Golden cicadas coming out of their shells?" Cao Cao nodded, and then asked, "Gongda, what is the second possibility?" ”
Xun You said: "The second possibility is that Yuan Nuo really plans to change his route, not to go to Peiguo and to go to Yingchuan County, speaking of emptiness, Yingchuan County is actually more empty than Peiguo today, so it is entirely possible for Yuan Nuo Xiaoer to temporarily change to Yingchuan River and go north to Jizhou after detecting the reality of Yingchuan County." ”
Cao Cao frowned and said: "Although Yingchuan County Henan Yin is empty, the north side is the Yellow River is dangerous, Yuan Wei Xiao'er has passed through Yingchuan County and Henan Yin, but he can't cross the Yellow River and there is still only a dead end, on the contrary, if he goes to Peiguo, as long as he passes through Lu State, he can get the response of Yuan Tan's army, it is impossible for him not to understand this." ”
At this time, Guo Jia spoke, yawned and said: "Lord, this must be Yuan No Xiao'er's golden cicada shelling plan, I dare to assert that it was only Yuan Jun's foot soldiers who marched west overnight, and Yuan No Xiao'er's most elite five hundred horsemen are still in Da Lu Ting, whether what I said is true, the lord will know when he calls the sentry horseman to ask." ”
Cao Cao immediately summoned the sentinels who came to report the news, and when asked, the Yuan army that was advancing west really did not have many cavalry.
Cao Cao said: "In this way, this is really Yuan Wei'er's golden cicada shelling plan? ”
Guo Jia said: "It must be so, it must be." ”
Cao Cao turned his gaze to Xun You, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu did not express an opinion, but Xun You and Jia Xu agreed.
At that moment, Cao Cao ordered: "Zhong Kang, immediately order Yu Ban to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to pursue the enemy fleeing westward, and the rest of the armies and battalions will not move, waiting for our military order." ”
"Whoa." Xu Chu turned around and took the order
