readx;?“ Can we be saved? Xin Bi angrily asked: "Cao Cāo is in front, Liu Xiu is behind, we are about to fall into their flank, the army is about to run out of food, and it may collapse at any time." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOnly by preempting the main force of Cao Cāo before entering the position, highlighting the encirclement, and integrating with Tian Fenghui, can he stabilize his position. If you stay here for one more day, you will be in more danger, not because you don't want to save it, because you can't save it, because you can't save it. Can't you even see the situation clearly? ”

Guo Tu sneered and was silent, of course he knew that Xin Bi was right, it was right to rush out early, but what did Yuan Shao think? Didn't you see the pain and hesitation in his eyes, you persuaded him to escape now, you are a hero, but when Yuan Kui dies, when Yuan Shao wants to find someone to be responsible for Yuan Kui's death, who will bear this responsibility?

Xin Bi is not stupid, he also knows this truth, but he can't shirk responsibility like Guo Tu. At this critical moment, only thinking about himself, not the overall situation, this is not what a strategist and a loyal strategist should do, Guo Tu is disloyal, so he is very angry.

Yuan Shao was in a dilemma, he knew that Xin Bi's suggestion was right, but this suggestion was even more cruel, for his own survival, he wanted to leave Yuan Kui behind, this decision was very difficult to make. At this moment, someone called Guo Tu outside the tent, Guo Tu got up and went out, and after a while, he strode in and rushed in, with a happy face.

"My lord, I am very happy."

Yuan Shao raised his head and glared at him, undisguised in anger. It's all at this time, what else can be called a big joy?

"Look, lord!" Facing Yuan Shao's unhappy gaze, Guo Tu didn't care at all, he handed the information he had just obtained to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shaohu took it suspiciously, and was suddenly shocked, his body stood up, and the whole person was shocked.

Xin Bi and the others looked at him in surprise, not knowing what the good news was, but it could make Yuan Shao so excited.

Yuan Shao's originally gloomy eyes gradually brightened. The sad wrinkles on his face were also flattened one by one, and he regained his brilliance, he bent his fingers and flicked the emergency report in his hand, and laughed: "Xu Ziyuan." Raising thousands of soldiers, using soldiers for a while, really lived up to expectations. ”

"Xu Yu?" Xin Bi was stunned for a moment, and then became excited. Xu You rushed to Guangling on the order of Yuan Shao, but there was no news coming back, and everyone gradually forgot about him, but he didn't expect that he had news back at this time. And it's good news. Needless to say, he must have mastered the more than 30,000 troops stranded in Guangling.

Things were as Simbi and the others expected.

After Xu You arrived in Guangling, the situation was not optimistic, several generals in Guangling saw that Liu Xiu was like a bamboo, and advanced all the way to Pingyu City, and the imperial counterinsurgency army disarmed the four acropolis around Pingyu at a rare speed, and surrounded Pingyu City, and the sailors led by Yan Yan and others have been wandering nearby. They didn't dare to approach at all, let alone support Pingyu. Seeing that the Yuan family was gone, many people hesitated. Some are ready to change banners.

The arrival of Xu Yu interrupted this trend, but the situation did not improve immediately. Although Xu You had Yuan Shao's warrant, these people were originally Yuan Shu's men and horses, and later under the command of Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui removed Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and other generals from their posts in order to prevent these people from surrendering to Liu Xiu, which greatly shook the morale of the army, because it meant that Yuan Kui did not trust them and wanted to send his own cronies to control them. Now Xu Yu is Yuan Shao's person. How dare they be gullible?

Fortunately, the generals sent by Yuan Kui supported Xu You, and after some soft and hard measures, coaxing and fraud, Xu You finally controlled the 30,000 horses with great effort. However, at this time, he received bad news, and Yuan Shao finally lost his fighter. Cao Cāo had already rushed behind him, and the 20,000 Hu cavalry were defeated in a battle, and Yuan Shao was forced to retreat.

Xu You knew that this situation was very dangerous, and once it was announced, he was afraid that the 30,000 troops he had just gathered would immediately disperse. He simply hid the news and didn't tell anyone, and naturally said to those generals that Yuan Cheqi was mainly anti-guest, and now Liu Xiu had been lured away from Pingyu City and would fight a decisive battle in Yanzhou, so I asked him for instructions, whether to copy Liu Xiu's back road and relieve the siege of Pingyu first, or rush to Yanzhou and defeat Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo first with Yuan Cheqi.

Xu Yu's urgent report is urgent, but in the eyes of Guo Tu and Yuan Shao, this is a genuine good news and a great news. These 30,000 troops not only enabled Yuan Shao's total strength to surpass Liu Xiu again, but also their location was very important, they were located in the rear of Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo, and they could relieve the siege of Pingyu to the west, and attack Xuzhou to the north, or enter Yanzhou, and join forces with Yuan Shao, and beat Liu Xiu on the back of the enemy.

With this army of 30,000 that had been wandering outside the battlefield, the balance of victory suddenly tilted in favor of Yuan Shao. How can Yuan Shao not be excited, how can he not be refreshed.

"Guys, where do you think Xu Yu should attack?" Yuan Shao asked loudly, the depression just now was swept away, it seems that it is not a problem to relieve the siege of Pingyu or defeat Liu Xiu, as for returning to Jizhou, it is even easier, no problem.

Xin Bi and the others were also very excited, but there were disagreements on how to use Xu You's 30,000 army. Guo Tu said that Xu You should be allowed to rush directly to Yanzhou and fight a decisive battle here. They first launched an attack on Cao Ren and Xia Yu to attract Liu Xiu over, and then Yuan Shao entangled Liu Xiu, and when the two sides were inseparable, Xu You led an army of 30,000 into the battlefield, how could Liu Xiu have the power to fight back? At that time, Liu Xiu, who had won a hundred battles, was hit hard, and the entire imperial court's counterinsurgency army would have no core, and its results would be greater than the role of breaking through the imperial camp of the Son of Heaven, and it could lay a victory in one fell swoop. The next thing is simple, the north can attack Cao Cāo with Tian Feng, and the south can attack the imperial camp of the Son of Heaven with Yuan Kui, without Liu Xiu on the side, everything will be devastating.

Han Fu disagrees with Guo Tu's opinion, he thinks that Xu You wants to rush here from Guangling, even if it is a rapid march, it will take at least eight days, plus the delay in delivering the letter, it is good to be able to arrive here in ten days. What's more, if he has been marching in a hurry, not only can his physical strength not be guaranteed, but it is also difficult to hide his whereabouts, Liu Xiu will definitely get the news in advance and evacuate the battlefield before he arrives, Guo Tu's so-called sudden entry into the battlefield is impossible to achieve.

In this case, it is better for Xu You to kill Pingyu, so that he can unite with the Yuan army in Hefei and Lu'an to cut off Liu Xiu's waterway transportation, and he can make a big noise all the way, without rushing to Pingyu City, it can have a significant impact on the morale of both sides. There are only 20,000 imperial camps of the Son of Heaven under Pingyu City, and they are definitely not Xu Yu's opponents, will Liu Xiu withdraw or not at that time? If you don't withdraw, the siege of Pingyu will be lifted, the Son of Heaven will be defeated, Xu You will continue to go north, and you can also threaten Liu Xiu's back road, if Liu Xiu withdraws, then we can easily eat Cao Cāo and occupy Chongzhou. And Xu You has Hefei and other big cities in hand, and Liu Xiu can't do anything about him in a short time.

Looking at the strategists who were fighting for red faces, Yuan Shao was in a good mood, whether it was Guo Tu's suggestion or Han Fu's suggestion, he had the upper hand, and Liu Xiu was the next to be embarrassed. Regardless of whether Liu Xiu advances or retreats, he is already at a disadvantage.

Makes you rampant, and now you're suffering, right? Yuan Shao was secretly smug. In order to quickly approach Pingyu, Liu Xiu put Hefei and other cities behind him, such a move violated the common practice of soldiers, and now he has finally tasted the bitter fruit. And all this is because of Xu You, without Xu You's cunning and wit, it would be impossible for him to integrate those more than 30,000 scattered people into a force that is enough to turn the situation on the battlefield.

Although this man is greedy for money, he is indeed a talent, and when he wins the battle this time, he must be rewarded heavily and satisfied. Yuan Shao thought in his heart, thinking of Xu You's possible expression when he saw the heavy reward, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

The people who were arguing heard Yuan Shao's laughter and couldn't help laughing. Soon, there was a burst of laughter in the big tent.

He Zedong. Standing on a mound with his hands on his brows, he looked into the distance, a contemptuous sneer on his lips. The blazing sun shone on the water vapor in Heze, and the earth seemed to writhe in the distance, and in the shaking light and shadow, a cavalry was faintly visible.

Cao Cāo's reaction was very timely, and the 10,000 Jing cavalry led by Cao Ren rushed to his front in just one day's effort, blocking his way to Dingtao. Although he had 20,000 soldiers, the number of cavalry was too small, the terrain near Dingtao was flat, and there was no terrain to use, so it was very unfavorable to fight against the cavalry. Even if he defeated Cao Ren, he didn't have enough time and troops to attack Dingtao again, Dingtao was a fortified city, and it was impossible for them to attack Dingtao after a long time of exhaustion and lack of food and large equipment, so he made a quick decision and led the army to the east, until he ran to the east bank of Heze before stopping.

Cao Ren followed closely behind him, but Cao Ren was very vigilant, he didn't give the trial a chance to ambush, he always sent the scout fifty miles away, within fifty miles, any action of the trial would be reported to him as quickly as possible.

As a young man in his early twenties, the judge felt that it was very rare for Cao Ren to be so cautious, no wonder he could command such an important cavalry under Cao Cāo's account. In contrast, several of Yuan Shao's sons did not have such ability.

However, the judge never thought of fighting Cao Ren's ambush, the net he wanted to lay was a big net, far from being as simple as an ambush. Together with Yuan Shao, he wanted to use more than 50,000 troops to set up a large net, swallow Cao Ren's 10,000 cavalry in one bite, and deal a major blow to Cao Cāo, so as to avenge their defeat of 20,000 Hu cavalry and revive the morale of the army.

Wen Chou galloped over, grabbed the reins under the mound, and shouted, "General, Cao Ren is still five miles away from here. ”

"Good." The judge nodded: "Are you all ready?" ”

"It's ready, there are three dishes in the canal alone, enough for them to drink." Wen Chou laughed loudly.

"Well, there's no hurry." The judge looked at Tian Sè, "Go and check again, Cao Ren is very cautious, and he must not show flaws." ”

"Whoa." Wen Chou replied and turned away.

The judge turned around and called Congzi Xianrong: "You immediately rush to Bo County, tell the lord that Cao Ren is about to enter the palace, ask him to be ready, be sure to enter the battlefield at the right time, cut off Cao Ren's back road, and can't let Cao Ren escape." ”

Xian Rong hesitated for a moment: "Uncle, that's the lord, if you do this, are you suspected of trespassing, and you will ...... in the future?"

"You know what? Outside, the king's order is not subject to anything, and everything must be determined by the battlefield situation. The judge shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense, go quickly!" ”rq
