Chapter 160: The Defeated Mengde

When the gate of Runan City, which had been closed for half a year, was opened, more than 100,000 people rushed out of the city like crazy.

They were besieged in the city by Yuan's army for half a year, and there was no water, so they relied on rain. The firewood is gone, and the house is demolished. There was no food, but fortunately the ancient environment was good, and there were grass roots and bark in the city.

More than 100,000 people who left the city, like locusts, ran through the earth, and the earth was "bare." Fortunately, the Nanru River is rushing endlessly, and it flows through the side of Runan City, and the river basin nourishes all the people. At this time, it was the perfect time of spring and summer, and the people were able to find supplies to a greater or lesser extent.

Soon the people who had fetched water, chopped wood, and found food went home in high spirits.

Every house is the sound of rushing water, and the men take a bath first. The woman cooks first and then bathes. Drink a bowl of hot soup that you haven't seen for a long time, and you will be happy to exercise in the evening.

Although the soldiers of Cao Jun could not exercise, they were also able to kiss the water, clean and slippery, and sleep peacefully for the first time in half a year.

Therefore, the entire Runan City, on the first night after Yuan Shao's retreat, was completely relaxed. Unprecedented relaxation, which comes from half a year of life and death tension.

Cao Cao also relaxed and found a flower girl.

Thirty miles away from Runan City, on the side of Yuan Jun.

The Yuan army did not establish a camp, and 200,000 people were silent in the dark night.

Yuan Shao was under a big tree, making do with the moonlight, looking at Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others. The heart said that it would also cause me to suffer the sins of this night, and that there must be a good result.

With the sound of light footsteps not far away, a scout horse arrived and said in a low voice: "Lord, the vigilance of Runan City is no longer half as good as it was a few days ago. ”

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "The Cao army has completely slackened, and the fighting spirit has exhausted. It was the time when our army broke through Runan in one go! ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and said in his heart that this day was not in vain. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Order the whole army, sneak overnight, and launch a general attack on Runan City at dawn!" ”

That's it. 200,000 Yuan soldiers with coins, horses wrapped in hooves, guns and drops, quietly returned.

When it was said that the sky was slightly bright, Cao Jun, who was on guard at the east gate of Runan, was angry and scolded: "It's really unlucky, others have gone to sleep peacefully, and I have to keep watch for this night." ”

The same was true of the soldiers of the other city gates. They have long been on no alert, and they just hope that the day will light up soon, so that they can change shifts and go back to sleep soundly.

Just as the soldier looked to the east, urging the sun to rise quickly, he found that a black line appeared on the horizon. Immediately after, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard. These sleepy-eyed soldiers. Suddenly, a clever man became energetic.

"Not good. Enemy attack, enemy attack! ”

And he saw ten thousand horses galloping forward.

Yuan Shao also let go, and sent all his 50,000 cavalry out to raid Runan City as infantry. The leaders are generals like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He, and this Yuan cavalry is not simple. Often, several horses work together to carry parts of large siege equipment.

On the other hand, the mansion of Cao Cao in Runan City.

In some slight sounds, Cao Cao woke up from his sleep, his face was not worried, only hideous. He noticed a man beside him. I didn't know what to think, so I immediately grabbed the Qinghong Sword under the pillow, and said that when the sword was cut, Cao Cao was actually happy.

"It turned out to be a beauty!" He laughed loudly, threw away his sword, hugged the frightened beauty, and said a dawn cannon.

This beauty is quite good, and her figure is bumpy, so Cao Cao quickly entered the state.

At the critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Lord, something is wrong, the Yuan army has tens of thousands of troops, and the soldiers are coming to the city!" ”

This voice is called a high, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is Cao Hong's, let alone 120 decibels, it directly pierced the door and pierced Cao Cao's ears and eyes.

"Oops~!" As soon as Cao Cao was frightened, when the beauty was not frightened, he became impotent.

Seeing a flash of white light in the room, Cao Cao got out of bed bare-chested, grabbed his clothes and wrapped his body at will, and ran out.

Shaoqing, the heavily armed Cao Cao, with five hundred personal soldiers, under the escort of Cao Hong and Cao Ren, looked all the way to the east of the city. At this time, the shouting of killing has already resounded throughout the city.

Cao Cao, who raised his whip on a prancing horse and looked hideous and anxious, knew that he had fallen for Yuan Shao's tricks, and his liver and gall were broken. He also saw the soldiers coming out of the barracks everywhere, one by one, some of them still yawning, and they lacked the state of imminence of battle, and shouted: "Cheer up, speed up, hurry, quickly go to the city to garrison!" ”

However, when Cao Cao was just able to see the East City Gate, things changed dramatically. Hearing a loud bang, as the two gates of the East City Gate collapsed, the first thing Cao Cao saw was a sharp and thick rushing head, and behind it, Yuan Jun gathered like dense sardines.

As the first general, Cao Cao recognized that it was none other than Yan Liang, the number one general under Yuan Shao.

"The whole army charges, captures Cao Cao, rewards thousands of gold, and seals ten thousand households!" Yan Liang pointed at the big sword, took the lead, and entered the city.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Catch Cao Mengde!"

Cao Cao leaned back for a while by the sound of the waves, his face twitched and his eyes showed fear, and he hurriedly led the horse, "Huh~~!" ”

"Lord!" Cao Hong and Cao Ren exclaimed.

Cao Caoxin finished speaking, and his voice struck the west. He quickly found a scapegoat for his strategic mistakes, "all of them were harmed by these ignorant people!" "He stared with his left eye and his right eye, and after blinking for a while, he turned his horse away and shouted;" The whole army retreats, retreats! Rush to the West Gate! ”

Half an hour later, the shouts of killing were gone, only the cheers of Yuan's army and the black smoke of Runan City remained.

Inside the mansion, Yuan Shao's eyes showed ecstasy and listened to the report of his subordinates.

"Destroyed 30,000 enemies and captured 10,000, Cao Mengde only brought 35,000 defeated soldiers, and looked to the direction of Xuchang."

Cao Cao only had a few thousand soldiers and horses left, and after Yuan's army gathered and surrendered, there were still 200,000 people.

Yuan Shao trembled with excitement, and he felt that he was only one step away from the hegemony of that dynasty. He slapped the case hard, almost screaming: "Pass my order, the whole army pursues, pursues!" ”

in the hall. It is full of millions of soldiers and the breath of sweeping the world.

It seems that the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou couldn't control themselves before this decisive victory, and said excitedly: "Get the order!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Fu Zhu hurriedly stopped and said, "Lord, Cao Mengde has no soldiers to defend Xuchang. Yuzhou can be dropped at the snap of a finger. Now, his only choice is to retreat to the gate. Only one general, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the army can lead the pursuit. Now, eliminating the 100,000 troops who entered Jizhou from Gao Yuan is the top priority. As long as Gao Yuan is eliminated, in the entire north, every one person can threaten the lord. After some adjustments, you can break them one by one. ”

Tian Feng thought so. He said: "My lord, at this critical period, you must not be impatient, you still need to take every step!" ”

Yuan Shao, who has been repeatedly hit by lofty blows, has been hit and enlightened, and is much stronger than the previous scheming and indecisive ones, and when he heard the words, he really stabilized his mind, sat down and said: "What the two military advisors said is good. Yan Liang and Fu listened to the order, and the two of you led the subordinate generals. Belong to my son Yuan Tan to control and pursue Cao Mengde, we must catch Cao Mengde and rescue His Majesty and the court. My 150,000-strong army will go north immediately! His eyes lit up, "I hope to meet you in Luoyang!" ”

Yuan Shao's ambition now is greater than the sky. In his mind, he would defeat Takato and sweep through the states. And he hoped that Yan Liang and Fu Zhu would be able to break through the Tiger Prison, so that they could join Luoyang and unify the Central Plains.

After everyone left. Yuan Shao couldn't help but be excited, raised his arms to the sky and laughed, "In the world, who can stop me!" ”

50,000 Yuan troops rushed after Cao Cao, and 150,000 Yuan troops rolled north. The earth was already trembling in front of the huge force of Yuan's army, and the arrogance and clamor after the decisive victory were in the dust.

Cao Jun's side.

Cao Cao was defeated day and night and returned to Xuchang.

"Cao Mengde is defeated!" When the news came out, Xu was shocked.

In the imperial court, it seems that Fu Wan and others celebrated with their crowns, but soon there was a news that made them unhappy. Cao Cao ordered that the capital be moved to Luoyang, and everyone should go to Luoyang.

Everyone, including the common people, the court, etc., etc.

It turned out that Cao Cao, who had only a few thousand soldiers left, knew that Xuchang was no longer defensible, and the entire Yuzhou could no longer hold on. Guo Jia and others said that they could only move the capital, abandon all the soldiers and horses outside the Guandu, transfer back to Guandu, and return to the Guannei, and rely on the three dangerous points to gain a firm foothold.

Under the example of the people who have been summoned from high and far, the importance of the people is self-evident. Therefore, Cao Cao not only had to take away the court and materials, but also the people.

Xuchang City began to be chaotic, no less than Dong Zhuo moving the capital to Chang'an, but after all, there was a goal.

The soldiers, under the leadership of Cao Hong, entered the palace and were very rude to pack up Emperor Han Xian and his people and take them away.

But there needs to be a gentle side.

The three sisters of Cao Xian have been learning etiquette in the palace, and they are about to get married, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen. Before the sudden disaster, the three daughters lost their faces and hurried to see Cao Hong, "Uncle! ”

Cao Hong was able to "pack" Empress Fu, but he was much gentler with his niece, and comforted: "Don't panic, I'll arrange a carriage for you, and follow Your Majesty to Luoyang together." ”

On the other hand, Cao Ren led the soldiers and horses to beat the hundred officials of the imperial court. Together with Cao Hong, he escorted the entire imperial court to Luoyang.

On the afternoon of Cao Cao's defeat of Runan, hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of vehicles of all sizes were killed. There were countless people who carried backpacks, and the cry shook the sky, and they went out of Xuchang City.

Cao Cao arranged for Xiahou to make a decision, Cao Hong and Cao Ren protected Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the hundred officials of the imperial court, and Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou En and others were in charge of the people. And Cao Cao sent Zang Ba, Han Hao, Sun Guan, and Du Pre to lead a small number of soldiers and horses to harass the pursuing Yuan army and delay the pursuit of the Yuan army.

Cao Cao's side of the army, the people's heart is in turmoil. It seems that Cao Cao's civil officials, such as Man Chong and Liu Ye, are difficult to take care of, and they all go their own ways and no one cares.

And the Yuan army led by Yuan Tan had high morale and soared combat effectiveness. Zang Ba, Han Hao, Sun Guan, and Du Pre were defeated by the army led by Yuan Tan, and surrendered after successive defeats.

After dark, Cao Cao had only walked more than ten miles here.

It was impossible to advance at night, so Cao Cao ordered him to camp at the foot of an unnamed mountain. Under the cover of night, hundreds of thousands of people cried all over the field.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and only the sound of killing in the northeast could be heard, getting closer and closer.

Cao Cao was shocked, hurriedly got on his horse, and urged everyone to go on the road. Before his side could fully act, the boundless Yuan army came to cover up, like a tide.

Cao Cao desperately broke through the siege, and when it was imminent, fortunately, Xiahoudun led the army to open a bloody road and save Cao Cao from the tiger prison. After fighting and leaving, when the sky was bright, Yuan Jun's shouting and killing gradually faded away.

It's not that Yuan Jun didn't chase fast enough, it turned out that hundreds of thousands of people were frightened and completely scattered, and they were everywhere within dozens of miles, which actually blocked Yuan Jun's pursuit.

When Cao Cao was undecided, he looked left and right, and only more than 100 horsemen of Xiahoudun remained. And everyone else, including the imperial court headed by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, did not know their whereabouts.

Cao Cao squeezed his eyebrows for a while, and finally shed tears, and said sadly: "I have suffered such a catastrophe, and all the generals and family members don't know how to survive!" (To be continued......)
