Cao Cāo held a horsewhip in one hand and a kettle in the other, and poured two mouthfuls of water, but his eyes were fixed on the map without blinking. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info ◎ Smart children remember to play super fast hand update.◎ He is very clear about Yuan Shao's every move, but it is precisely because he is very clear about Yuan Shao's actions, so when the trial and Wen Chou suddenly attacked, he did not react immediately, and Wen Chou broke through the position along the river, and he has not been able to recapture the position until now, but let Wen Chou gain a firm foothold on the north bank.

It was only at this time that he received the news that Yuan Jun had started to act, and scolded hatefully: "Yuan Shao has also cheated, he is really unseemly." ”

Chen Gongqiang couldn't help but laugh and didn't say anything. Soldiers are not tired of cheating, why can you cheat, but the opponent can't cheat? If you want to blame Cheng Yu, you can only blame Cheng Yu for being too slow to react, falling into the other party's suspicious tactics, only caring about guarding the surroundings, but not guarding against the fact that the other party has already sneaked under his nose, and when he reacts, it will be too late.

However, Cheng Yu pressed Wen Chou by the river and couldn't move when 5,000 people were attacked, which can be regarded as a reversal, at least it did not make the situation worse, and the initiative on the battlefield was still in the hands of the party.

But Yuan Shao has already arrived on the other side of Jishui, and once he joins the battlefield, it is difficult to say what the final victory will be. Cao Cāo is a little anxious now, and it is understandable to take this kind of reason that is not a reason.

"General, we must find a way to cut off the pontoon bridge as soon as possible, otherwise the main force of Yuan's army will all be killed." Chen Gong reminded unhurriedly.

"How?" Cao Cāo said angrily, raising his arm and wiping it on his mouth. cursed: "It's all Liu Xiu's troubled one, and he still helps people build pontoon bridges when he has nothing to do, it's good now." Yuan Shao learned it, which caught me off guard. I'm working hard here, and he's sleeping there. This ghost weather. It's really not human, I'm sweating when I don't move, and I still have to wear so much, it's really unlucky. Cao Cāo sat on the bed with his buttocks, pulled open the front of his robe, slapped it twice, and yelled at the guards who were fanning: "You haven't eaten, use some force!" ”

The guards were sweating profusely. But he didn't dare to reply, so he had to fan it hard. Cao Cāo closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment: "The judge drove a wooden stake in the river, the big boat can't pass, but the small boat can't do, but for a while, where can I find so many small boats?" ”

"General. Rafts can be used. Dong Zhao suddenly interjected.

"Raft?" Cao Cāo opened his eyes, rolled his eyes, and grinned: "Yes, it's better to use a raft than a boat." When someone comes, immediately arrange for someone to set up a raft. Tie a little more, and see how I burn his ghost pontoon. ”

Having found a way to destroy the pontoon bridge, Cao Cāo was in a much better mood, and when he saw Chen Deng standing by the river in the distance, he shouted loudly: "Yuanlong, Yuanlong!" ”

Chen Deng heard it and walked over quickly.

"Xia Yu, where are they?"

"They are twenty miles northeast of our army, ready to support at any time." Chen Deng looked at him with some surprise, "Does the general need them to attack now?" ”

"No, I just wanted to ask where they are." Cao cāo sneered: "Driving the general is like feeding an eagle, if you are hungry, you will use it, and if you are full, you will go away." If they want to make meritorious contributions, I just don't let them get complacent, otherwise they will get enough credit, and when I really need them, they will not obey. Don't let them go into battle unless they have to. Good steel should be used on the cutting edge. ”

Chen Deng responded and stepped aside. He knew Cao Cāo's intentions, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, he would not easily give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Xia Yu, after all, Cao Cāo was in dire need of merit now to prepare for the upcoming reward. As for how many people were lost, it didn't matter to Cao Cāo. This is the opposite of Liu Xiu's thoughts. Liu Xiu cherishes the soldiers, so the soldiers are willing to use them, and there are many experienced veterans under him, like Cao Cāo's hard work at any cost, will make many veterans die on the battlefield, and to train a recruit into a veteran, it not only takes time to train, but also needs the experience of the war. It's not something that can be done with time, it has to be a chance.

Why did Liu Xiu follow Yuan Shao and delay now? Everyone knows his intentions, and Cao Cāo also knows it, but his consideration is different from Liu Xiu's, what he wants is credit, and how many soldiers will die is not within his consideration.

Chen Deng stood aside, quietly looking at Cao Cāo, who was open to arms, quickly listening to the latest news, giving orders, and discussing the military situation with the strategists around him from time to time, and sighed secretly. Cao Cāo is a talent, but unfortunately, he is unlucky. Just like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is also a rare talent, his ability in all aspects is not bad, if he is in the world, he will be a generation of famous ministers, but he was born in troubled times, and he met opponents who are stronger than him in all aspects, this is his fate.

Scouts rushed back and forth, bringing a steady stream of the latest news to Cao Cāo.

"General, Yuan Shao's army has arrived in Jishui."

"General, Yuan Shao's army is heading east, and the direction should be the position of the trial."

"General, Yuan Shao's rear army has also arrived, and the generals are Han Fu and Yan Liang."

Cao Cāo tugged at his short beard, and his fingers quickly swiped across the map: "Yuan Benchu came so quickly, he not only marched overnight, but also marched in a hurry, this more than fifty miles of road, he actually arrived in one night?" This shaft who likes to ride an ox cart is now no longer riding an ox cart and is riding a horse instead? ”

A scout who hadn't left hurriedly nodded vigorously: "General, Yuan Shao is indeed a horse to ride, a pure white Xiliang horse." ”

Cao Cāo raised his head, glared at him, and flew a kick: "Nonsense, go and do your thing." ”

The scout was inexplicably kicked, but he didn't dare to retort, patted his buttocks, jumped on his horse, and galloped away. Cao Cāo was angry and funny, and said scoldingly: "If he was so neat when he marched, why would he be today." His mother's is fast when she runs away, and she doesn't dare to provoke Liu Xiu, but she is easy to bully when she is Lao Tzu? ”

Dong Zhao coughed: "General, since Yuan Shao's actions are so fast, our plan to destroy the pontoon bridge must also be accelerated." ”

Cao cāo patted his head and waved his hand: "You go and supervise, if it can be completed before dark, each person will be rewarded with one stone." ”

Dong Zhao got up and went. The most nervous thing in Yanzhou now is grain, a stone of grain has risen to 300 yuan, and money may not be able to buy it, for those craftsmen, a stone of grain can stimulate great enthusiasm for work. Yuan Shao had already arrived, and half an hour in advance, he could reduce the number of thousands of people to cross the river.

"Order the Great Army to move east." Cao Cāo then issued a new order: "Order Xia Yu to keep an eye on Tian Feng, not to let him pass Lei Ze a step, let alone let him meet with Yuan Shao, and do everything possible to destroy the grain and grass he brought to me." He laughed twice, "Yuan Benchu, I see how you fight me when you're hungry." ”

……

Yuan Shao's face was pale, and he sat on the horse and staggered. Pingyu surrendered without a fight, which dealt a very big blow to his Jing God, and coupled with the fact that he hadn't slept all night, he was now extremely tired now. But he can't sleep now, the tense situation is like a mountain pressing on his heart, whether he can break through Cao Cāo's blockade and meet Tian Feng before the food is cut off will determine his life and death.

The slightly more comforting news is that so far, Liu Xiu has not caught up, so he doesn't have to worry about the safety of the back road for the time being. He raised his head, looked at the battlefield looming in the distance, and exhaled softly. Cao Cāo's scouts had been following him on the north bank, not giving him a chance to cross the river at any other point, and wherever he stopped, Cao Cāo's army would rush to the opposite bank in the shortest possible time. If you want to cross the river safely, the best way is to rush to the trial and use the pontoon bridge that has been built by the trial. Wen Chou had already gained a foothold on the other side of the river, and could cover their safe crossing of the river.

Of course, Cao Cāo will also rush there, and whether he can return to Jizhou safely or not will decide the battle that is about to start.

"Hurry, hurry!" Yuan Shao kept urging. The soldiers had already walked all night, only rested for half an hour on the way, simply ate a little food, and walked not as fast as they had at the beginning. But Yuan Shao didn't dare to let them rest, who knows if they can stand up again after sitting down. "It's here, hold on a little longer."

The soldiers who passed by him cursed in their hearts, hold on a little longer, you are very light, you are still tired and weak when you ride a horse, we carry weapons, and march fifty miles in one night, we are already tired like a dead dog, how can you be so comfortable.

Although these morales only dared to scold in their hearts, Yuan Shao could feel their resentment. He also sighed secretly in his heart, these are all soldiers, but the gap between his soldiers and Liu Xiu's soldiers is really not small. Liu Xiu's soldiers marched fifty miles in a hurry, and at least half of them could still participate in the battle, but looking at these soldiers in front of them, how many of them could still immediately enter the battle? Can there be a percent? Yuan Shao looked at it, and soon felt disappointed with his speculation, he couldn't see a soldier who walked without shaking, where there were as many as 10%.

Why are they all soldiers, and the gap is so big? Yuan Shao was up and down with the pace of the war horse, thinking about the problem. He compared the difference between himself and Liu Xiu one by one, and he couldn't figure out why he was not Liu Xiu's opponent. In terms of family background, prestige, connections, and knowledge, which one of Liu Xiu is better than me? But why was he able to soar in just over ten years, but I went to the abyss step by step?

Guo Tu rushed up from behind, swallowed his saliva, and pointed to the people on the side of the road in the distance: "Lord, someone has come to greet you." ”

Yuan Shao hadn't come back to his senses, he looked at the preface in a daze, and suddenly asked: "Gongzhi, you say, am I really inferior to Liu Xiu?" ”

"Why did the lord say this, how could Liu Xiu compare with the lord, he was not even worthy of leading a horse for the lord." Guo Tu replied instinctively, as soon as the words came out, he felt a little strange, such a question Yuan Shao would not have raised at all in the past, because he thought that this question was not a problem at all, how could he suddenly think of this today. He turned his head and quickly glanced at Yuan Shao's face, seeing that Yuan Shao's gaze was a little tired and a little weak, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition. If Yuan Shao has no confidence, then how will he fight Liu Xiu next? Looking at Yuan Shao's blank face, Guo Tu felt cold. rq
