Chapter 654: Calculating with each other

Yuan Shao sat in front of the desk, leaned forward slightly, held his beard with his left hand, held a jade spoon in his right hand, and carefully scooped up a spoonful of meat soup, and just brought it to his mouth, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the tent door. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info ◎ Smart children remember to be super fast and play updates.◎ Yuan Shao frowned, put the jade spoon back, raised his head, looked at the door of the tent with displeasure, and waited for the guards to come in and report. He hates people disturbing him when he is eating, but now that the situation is tense, there may be important news, and no matter how unhappy he is, he can only endure it.

There was no guard, Guo Tu broke in directly, panting and his face flushed.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment and sat up straight: "What's the matter?" ”

"Xu You......" Guo Tu probably walked too quickly, and he was a little short of breath when he only said one name. Yuan Shao was shocked, and his eyes lit up: "Xu You won the battle?" He had waited too long for the news, and he was a little nervous, and his voice trembled.

"Xu You......" Guo Tu felt bitter in his mouth, foamed at the mouth, and handed the urgent report he had just received to Yuan Shao with both hands. Yuan Shao looked at the emergency report on the case, and then looked at Guo Tu's breathless appearance, thinking that he was so happy that he couldn't speak, and couldn't help laughing: "Gongzhi, it's not me talking about you, you are getting more and more breathless now......" As soon as he was halfway through the words, his eyes widened, and the rest of the words were all held in his throat, making his face red, like a bloodied cockscomb.

There was a dead silence in the big tent, Guo Tu held his breath, and a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead. Yuan Shao looked at the emergency report in his hand in a daze, his body trembled involuntarily, and the paper made a gurgling sound in his hand, like a sneer, and like a howl. Guo Tu was a little lucky. It's a shame that he didn't come up with this idea, and it's a shame that he didn't tell Yuan Shao this sentence personally, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to calm Yuan Shao's anger now.

"Xu Yu misunderstands me!" Yuan Shao suddenly shouted, tore up the emergency report in three or two times, raised the table with both hands, and exerted force. lifted the entire food table and flipped it to the ground, spilling food and wine all over the table. "I'm going to kill him!" Yuan Shao screamed. He took off the ring knife from Lan Qi behind him and rushed out in stride.

"Lord-" Guo Tu hugged Yuan Shao's waist and dragged him back desperately. Yuan Shao is like a bull who has gone crazy. He used all his strength to rush outward, causing Guo Tu to slide forward like a plow. Guo Tu couldn't hold him, and shouted anxiously: "Lord, don't!" ”

"I'm going to kill him!" Yuan Shao hissed and roared, tears mixed with sweat, flowing wantonly.

"Lord, Xu You has been captured alive, where are you going to kill him?" Guo Tu hurriedly shouted: "The top priority at the moment is to set off immediately and rush back to Jizhou, otherwise wait for Liu Xiu to receive the news." Our army is in turmoil, how to resist? ”

Yuan Shao had already rushed to the door of the tent, holding the tent door with one hand, and when he heard Guo Tu's words, he was stunned. All of a sudden, all his strength was away from him. Thanks to Guo Tu, he felt his weakness and didn't drag him with all his might, otherwise both of them would have to fall to the ground. Guo Tu pulled Yuan Shao back two steps, then turned to him, and said again and again: "Lord, now is not the time to blame Xu You. How to join Tian Feng before the collapse of the army's heart is the most important thing. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned, and after a long time, he slowly squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly. "How...... How can this be, how can it be so, 30,000 people...... How could it be defeated by three thousand......"

Guo Tu stood aside, the sweat on his face kept flowing, he didn't know how to answer Yuan Shao's question, how could 30,000 people lose to 3,000 people, and he lost so badly that even the main general was captured. Even if you line up for people to cut, 30,000 people can make the opponent soft. But now it makes no sense to say this, since Xu Yu has been captured by life, the collapse of the 30,000 army is already a fait accompli, and how to deal with the current predicament is the biggest difficulty they face. There are only two or three days left in the amount of military rations, with Cao Cāo's blocking in front and Liu Xiu's pursuers in the back, whether they can safely return to Jizhou depends on Yuan Shao's next decision.

If they are not careful, it is entirely possible for them to follow in Xu You's footsteps and become Liu Xiu's prisoners.

Yuan Shao squatted on the ground and cried like a resentful woman who had been abandoned, Guo Tu stood aside, his heart was in turmoil, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, Yuan Shao showed the most embarrassing side in front of him, which was not only a trust in him, but also a hidden danger. Yuan Shao has a good face, he would never want others to see him so weak, but now he can't turn around and leave, he can only hold on, his brain is spinning rapidly, thinking about how to solve Yuan Shao later, not only can not make him feel ashamed, but also solve the current predicament.

……

Cao cāo dusted the paper in his hand and sighed: "This kind of battle can be fought, how can you fight him?" ”

Chen Gong, who was sitting opposite him, was expressionless, but the loss in his eyes was obvious. He was in charge of confidential affairs and got the news before Cao Cāo, but they didn't believe it at the time, thinking that it might be a miscommunication from the scout, and now he received a handwritten letter from Liu Xiu, confirming the news, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately told Cao Cāo the news.

In the face of Cao Cāo's emotion, Chen Gong felt very ashamed, because he still knew very little about Xu Rong, and in his impression, Xu Rong was Liu Xiu's township party, so he was deliberately cultivated by Liu Xiu to balance the power of the Liangzhou and Yizhou systems, and he had always reported to Cao Cāo. Although no one said it, the meaning was very clear, Xu Rong was by no means a worthy opponent, on the contrary, it might be an object of use.

Suddenly receiving this news suddenly subverted their evaluation of Xu Rong and made them a little overwhelmed. Cao Cāo's emotion, listening to Chen Gong's ears, was no different from slapping him.

"Oh, Gongtai, nothing." Cao Cāo couldn't help but laugh when he noticed Chen Gong's unnaturalness. He shook his head while laughing: "You don't know Liu Deran, I know very well, he often has unexpected actions, and Xu Rong is by no means the only example." I think that at the beginning, Miao Cai came to Luoyang to join me, and he aimed at Miao Cai at a glance, to be honest, I didn't see Miao Cai at the time, until ...... Well, it wasn't until Miaocai ran thousands of miles and beat the Qiang people to the ground that I woke up to the fact that Liu Deran was not doing good deeds at will, and he appreciated Miaocai's talent, he had already seen Miaocai's talent. ”

Listening to Cao Cāo's comfort, Chen Gong's heart felt a little more relaxed. He coughed: "General, what should we do now?" Tian Feng is behind us, if we stop Yuan Shao with all our might, I am afraid that the casualties will be not small. ”

Cao Cāo thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I know that the casualties will definitely not be small, but what can I do?" So far, we have only been able to conquer Nanton, and at the same time lose Puyang, in general, we have been running for several months, and the achievements are not worth it. If you don't risk your life to earn some military exploits, what will you take to ask for a reward when the time comes, and if you don't have a reward, what will you take to compensate for the hard work of the soldiers? ”

Chen Gong was silent, of course he knew the consequences of doing so, but as a strategist, he had to remind Cao Cāo of the cost of doing so. Under the attack of Tian Feng and Yuan Shao, Cao Cāo's troops were not abundant, and in the art of war, it was said that Yuan Shao's army was going to seize the road and flee, and to stop them was tantamount to stopping a mad tiger, and the casualties paid would be very amazing. Once the loss of strength is too large, it will be difficult for Cao Cāo to compete with Liu Xiu in the future.

It is difficult to advance, and it is impossible to retreat, this is the dilemma in front of Cao Cāo, so Liu Xiu doesn't need to say too much in this letter, just tell Cao Cāo about Xu Rong's merits, and Cao Cāo will know what to do.

Cao Cāo patted his thigh lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Gongtai, you don't have to worry. I don't think Liu Xiu will let me fight hard alone now, if I lose too much, he will be unable to support himself, and he will inevitably be regarded as a borrowed knife to kill people, excluding dissent. His situation no longer allows him to do this, otherwise, it will be clear that he wants to be a domineering general. I don't think he's a stupid person like Liang Ji, and he won't be so conspicuous. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Xu Rong is from the Youzhou department, Liu Xiu cultivates him, and others will definitely have opinions. They also want to make meritorious contributions, and they also want to be promoted to knighthood, so we will give him this opportunity. Cao Cāo raised his head, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "You write a letter and ask him to borrow the Liangzhou camp of Lu Yi, and tell them the news of this news, I don't think Liu Deran will disagree." ”

Chen Gong thought for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and immediately went to write a letter. After writing the letter, he did not send it immediately, but rushed to Xia Yu's camp.

Xia Yu's camp was not far from Dingtao, and Chen Gong arrived quickly. Hearing that Chen Gong was coming, Xia Yu was very surprised and very happy, and immediately invited him in.

As soon as Chen Gong entered the account, he first congratulated him with a smile on his face. Xia Yu was inexplicable, "I don't know where the joy comes from?" ”

Chen Gong pretended to be very surprised: "Could it be that the captain still doesn't know about Xu Rong's defeat of Xu Yu in Fanyang Pavilion?" ”

Xia Yu was stunned and hurriedly asked. Chen Gong said the news he had just received, and finally said, now the hussar general is going to launch a general attack on Yuan Shao, let General Wei be the main force, we are worried that the strength is not enough, and we want to ask the hussar general to let you help us fight this battle. Of course, it is up to the hussar generals to decide whether this is feasible or not, but before we do that, we would like to ask for your opinions. You have already done us a lot of favors, and you have been criticized by the Hussar General, who fears that you will have some concerns, so if you are not willing to go to war, we simply do not mention it.

After Xia Yu listened, his eyes rolled and he immediately understood Chen Gong's intention. He laughed twice: "I think too much at the moment." We are warriors, and of course warriors must obey military orders, and whether to fight or not to fight is all decided by the hussar general, and it has nothing to do with the size of the casualties. Don't ask us, we only recognize the orders of the hussar generals. ”

Chen Gong was overjoyed and left. Xia Yu immediately invited Tian Yan and Lu Yi to tell him what Chen Gong had just come. Lu Yi and Tian Yan were surprised and delighted, and after a while, they asked in unison: "Then what should we do?" ”

"Don't worry, Cao Cāo is worried that his casualties will be too large and he wants to drag us into the water, he won't fail to propose to the general." Xia Yu squeezed his eyes and said with a smug smile: "Let's pretend not to know about this matter now, write a report to the general, and praise the doctors and Taoist priests who are responsible for healing the wounded, just say that through their efforts, most of the injured soldiers have recovered, their morale is high, and they are ready to be sent by the general at any time." ”

Tian Yan and Lu Yi exchanged a knowing look and laughed. rq
