Chapter Seventy-Three: Surrender on Your Knees

Each prince has more or less a few good cavalry players, and Cao Ren is a general who has been riding on a horse for a long time under Cao Ying.

Before Cao Ying could raise his army, Cao Ren and a group of fox friends formed a small cavalry team, and they were engaged in the work of soldiers and bandits on the banks of the Yellow River.

Later, Cao Ying rose in the Central Plains, it was indispensable to form a cavalry team, since it was to be built, it was necessary to build an elite army, and the tiger and leopard cavalry should be born at the right time.

Even in the future, the generals who are in charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry are all Cao henchmen or generals of their own clans, which is the same reason that the Jiangdong Sun family regime has always appointed Danyang Taishou to the most trusted person.

Cao Ren took the tiger and leopard to ride thousands of miles to rescue Cao Ying, which was not Cao Ying's order.

If Cao Ying would have foreseen that Yuan's army would not be able to form an army, and he would be in danger of his life, he might not have ended up in the current situation.

Anyway, the tiger and leopard rode in.

Cao Ying was worried about Xiahoudun after the break, and wanted Cao Ren to lead the army to save Xiahoudun.

Cao Ren looked embarrassed and said: "Lord, behind me, there are still four thousand tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who are fighting with the Yinling Flying Cavalry led by Gan Ning, if I go west again, once the Jinfan Army has the upper hand and takes the first step to occupy Tongguan, this is ......"

Cao Ren didn't say the latter words, and there is no need to say them.

Cao Ying showed a look of struggle, weighed it for a moment, and returned east with Cao Ren.

Xiahoudun, he can only give up.

Cao Ying, who fled to the Kanto region, bumped on his horse and asked loudly at Cao Ren, "Cao Ren, I didn't give a military order, why did you lead the army here?" ”

The result of the matter was in Cao Ying's favor, without Cao Ren, he would definitely die.

But the cause of the incident must be clarified.

The tiger and leopard ride that seems to have fallen from the sky, who ordered it to be dispatched?

Cao Ren replied loudly.

"Since the Hangu Pass was taken by Yuan Shao, Xun Shangshu has expected Guo Jia to set up a killing game in Guanzhong, Xun Shangshu asked the lord to return to Xudu, the lord has no news, Xun Shangshu knew that the lord has unspeakable hidden, he said to the last general, once the lord with Yuan Shao into the pass, there will be a danger of life, ordered the last general to lead the tiger and leopard to ride the starry night and rush to Guanzhong, Xun Shangshu is like a god, if it is delayed, I am afraid that the end will not be able to pass the Tong Pass at all."

Cao Ying sighed lightly and said no more.

The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.

Others don't know Yuan Shao as well as Cao Ying, and Cao Ying naturally doesn't know Guo Jia as well as Xun Yu.

With Hangu Pass, Guo Jia could easily replace Yuan Shao's 200,000 soldiers and horses with 50,000 horses.

But Guo Jia gave Hangu Guan away, and presented the fat meat in Guanzhong in front of Yuan Shao's eyes as bait, obviously, Guo Jia must have a more lethal layout.

Maybe afterwards, Cao Ying looked back at the before and after the Battle of Guanzhong, and he could see all the layouts of Guo Jia.

According to the letter of the Guguan and Wuguan, it is to gain time to prepare for war.

The rumors were to make Yuan Shao more anxious to end the war.

The withdrawal of troops from Hangu Pass is a sign of weakness, and it is also a further lure to the enemy.

Conquering Hangu Pass, laying down Wuguan, and advancing into Guanzhong, Yuan Shao was proud for a while, all of which were given to him by Guo Jia.

After the dust of the war settled, anyone with a little resourcefulness could see the mystery clearly, but when things were developing, in the camp of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, only Xun Yu, who was thousands of miles away in Xudu, had insight into Guo Jia's strategic intentions with just the battle report.

He put Yuan Shao into Guanzhong, not a decisive battle at all, but to invite you into the urn!

Xun Yu knew that Guo Jia would not bow his head, especially not to Yuan Shao, who commanded the clan!

If it is a fierce decisive battle, the outcome is unpredictable, Xun Yu will only be a bystander, but when Hangu Pass is lost, Xun Yu knows that Guo Jia has set up a killing game in Guanzhong, Yuan Shao will not die, win or lose, Xun Yu doesn't care, but Cao Ying can't go with him to die, the military situation is urgent, Xun Yu mobilized the tiger and leopard to ride thousands of miles to help, and finally rescued Cao Ying at the last moment.

Cao Ying went east under the escort of Cao Ren, and after coming to the battlefield of Yinling Flying Cavalry and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Ying did not stop and ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the Tiger and Leopard Riding Order was prohibited, and after receiving the military order, he followed Cao Ying to Tongguan together.

Gan Ning straightened out the soldiers and horses, and watched the tiger and leopard ride disappear into the dust, extremely unwilling, and at the same time infinite guilt rose in his heart.

How should he face Guo Jia!

Yuan Shao's side is already in a predicament.

Yan Liang and his entourage, who were carrying Yuan Shao on their backs, had already joined the 20,000 rear army of Zhang Jaw, but they were caught in an encirclement.

Gao Shun led the Tiger Guard, who was trapped in the camp and advanced step by step, Zhang Liaosuo led the long-range troops, and Xu Chu, who cut off their way from the east.

The remnants of Yuan Shao's troops gathered into a circular formation, and they were surrounded by the Taiping army, and they did not even have the courage to break through.

A human head rolled into front of the enemy's eyes, and the soldiers of the Yuan army were shocked.

Isn't that the head of Ju Yi?

The murderous Xu Chu was half covered in blood, and his steps calmly stepped out of the crowd, he threw down Ju Yi's head, and then burst into a shout, rushing forward with unparalleled momentum.

The number of 20,000 remnants of the army was decreasing, and Guo Jia, who was watching the battle on the periphery, closed his eyes.

He no longer cared about the situation in front of him.

His heart is in the east, in Cao Ying's body.

He knew that it was Cao Ren who was in charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and at this time, if there was a cavalry unit that could come to the rescue of Cao Ying, it would definitely be the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Ren.

Whether Cao Ren can successfully rescue Cao Ying is the key.

Perhaps, Cao Ying will die in the chaos of the army?

It's a fluke mentality.

Sunset.

Dian Wei turned over and dismounted, and in front of him, a majestic corpse. Blood is spilled on the field, and the silver spear does not fall.

Xiahoudun and Dian Wei died after nearly 100 rounds of fierce fighting!

Dian Wei knelt down on one knee and gently closed Xiahou Dun's still wide eyes with a solemn expression.

"Today is a war, and I will remember it for a lifetime. Xiahou Yuanrang, loyal bones! ”

At the end of the war, Dian Wei had never had a verbal conversation with Xiahoudun, but he had already raised his heroic respect.

If there is no Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei has seven points to grasp that Cao Ying will be cut off the horse within the three.

After Xiahoudun took the initiative to break off, he already held the decision to sacrifice his life.

Gan Ning led the army back, saw Dian Wei's scene, and Dian Wei's eyes touched, and after nodding solemnly to each other, Gan Ning led the army to pass by.

If Gan Ning returns in vain, then Cao Ying will definitely escape.

Dian Wei picked up the double halberd and began to dig a grave by the roadside, and he wanted to bury Xiahoudun with his own hands...... When Gan Ning walked towards Guo Jia with a guilty and heavy face, Guo Jia knew the result without guessing.

Gan Ning knelt down on one knee and wanted to plead guilty, Guo Jia calmly helped him up and said softly: "Xingba doesn't have to blame himself, Cao Ying can escape once, but he can't escape the second time or the third time." You and I stand side by side, and there will be countless battles in the future, as a general, how can you be obsessed with the gains and losses of a battle? ”

Gan Ning, who was caught in self-blame, sighed, got up and walked behind Guo Jia.

At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been silent as if he was an outsider, moved behind Guo Jia and said softly: "Lord, Cao Ying is not dead, Yuan Shao." ”

The word Yuan Shao was like a heavy punch to Guo Jia's heart.

Guo Jia, who had always had a tepid expression, suddenly changed his complexion and blurted out: "Yuan Shao can't die!" ”

Turning around suddenly, Guo Jia gave an urgent order.

"Fa Zheng, go and give an order, surround but not kill, and force Yuan Jun to surrender! Whoever dares to hurt Yuan Shao will be dealt with by military law! ”

Fa Zheng was shocked, and at this time, he also knew that the matter was serious, and immediately trotted to give the order.

Soon, several generals who led the army received Guo Jia's latest orders.

Among them, Xu Chu was the most puzzled and unwilling.

Before, Guo Jia said that he wanted to kill a piece of armor, but now it is easy to kill Yuan Shao, at most in two hours, the Yuan army trapped in the battlefield will definitely be wiped out.

However, why can't you kill Yuan Shao again?

Several generals led the army to a halt, no longer besieged, but formed a siege trend.

After Cao Ying fled back to Xudu, Guo Jia could not kill Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia can kill Cao Ying and Yuan Shao at the same time in Guanzhong, or let them both escape at the same time.

The only situation that was unfavorable to him was that he killed Cao Ying and let Yuan Shao go, or killed Yuan Shao and let Cao Shao go.

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying were buried in Guanzhong at the same time, and the situation in the Kanto region would fall into chaos in an instant, and the Cao Ying Group and Yuan Shao Group would collapse or even collapse after suffering heavy losses.

Let go of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, and Guandong will also enter the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, after all, Yuan Shao will not be stupid enough to attack Guanzhong again, and Cao Ying's strategy from beginning to end is to defeat Yuan Shao.

And killing Cao Ying and letting Yuan Shao go will allow Yuan Shao to unify the Central Plains without resistance.

Kill Yuan Shao and let Cao Ying go, the battle of Guandu does not need to be fought It has been announced that Cao Ying can annex the four states of Hebei.

Cao Ying's wishful thinking is to weaken Yuan Shao and Guo Jia, and now, if Guo Jia kills Yuan Shao, Cao Ying will not only succeed, but also a bumper harvest!

In other words, now Guo Jia can't kill Yuan Shao, he wants to let Yuan Shao return to Hebei alive to stabilize the overall situation in Hebei, continue to deter Cao Ying, and then the two tigers fight.

This situation is very embarrassing and unwilling.

But Guo Jia had to do it.

He had achieved a great victory in Guanzhong, Yuan Shao only had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left to resist, Guo Jia's results were extremely dazzling, but it did not make Guo Jia immersed in joy.

The ending he wanted the most.

It is to bury Cao Ying and Yuan Shao together in Guanzhong!

The few remaining Yuan troops were terrified when they saw the Taiping army besieging and not attacking.

Guo Jia stepped out and shouted at those Yuan Jun who had relatives: "General, as long as you give up resistance, I will not hurt you in the slightest." ”

Yuan Shao is already unconscious, and now Yuan Jun has no one to call the shots.

Several strategists and generals discussed together how to reply to Guo Jia.

Guo Tuxu wanted to surrender in his heart, but he couldn't announce it.

There was no good strategy for the trial, only Fu Zhi guessed that Cao Ying might have escaped from Guanzhong, so Guo Jia wanted to let Yuan Shao live.

Yan Liang, Chun Yuqiong, Zhang Jaw, the three generals wanted to fight, but their soldiers and horses were pitiful, a few days ago, they had 100,000, and now, they didn't even have 10,000, and the Taiping army was almost unharmed.

Jingle bell.

No matter what their decision was, when Yuan Jun heard Guo Jia's words, he dropped his weapons one by one and surrendered on his knees.
