Chapter 399: The overall situation will be decided, Guo Jia is poisoned

Ma Yan and Zhang Yi's attack on the camp of the Cao army in Guandu, at first quite smooth, after successively conquering several camps in the front of the Cao army, the vanguard soon attacked the outer front of the Cao camp, and soon opened the passage, allowing the main force to rush in, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi thought that Cao Ying was a wolf with a soft belly, but they did not expect that he was actually a hedgehog with thorns all over his body, the defenders were obviously prepared, and the thunderbolt car poured the fire oil and burning grass balls into batches on the head of the Yuan army who went deep into the enemy camp, hidden in the dense forest, The crossbowmen of the Cao army on the high wall fought together, shooting sharp arrows desperately, and when the Yuan army finally broke through a defensive line, they also had to face the hook trenches that were piled up with spikes.

Ma Yan knew that he was in the plan, and immediately organized the army to retreat backwards, wanting to retreat to the Yuan army camp in the fastest time, and then find Lu Kuang, who deceived them into robbing the camp, to calculate the general account, Yuan Jun tried to retreat, but found that the passage when he came had been gambled to death by the collapsed earthen wall, and the pedals moving between the trenches were also overturned, and the blows from all directions were like the water of the Yangtze River, endlessly, the entire Cao camp was simply a swamp of death, the more the Yuan army struggled, the deeper it sank, and the number of Cao army defenders was not very large, In total, not even half of the men and horses brought by Ma Yan arrived, but now there were fires everywhere, arrows were raining in the sky, and the sound of killing in all directions shook Yue, which made Yuan Jun feel that there were enemies everywhere, and even in the most fierce confrontation during the confrontation, Yuan Jun did not feel so desperate.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yi lifted the crooked helmet and said loudly to Ma Yan, the Cao Jun on the opposite side seemed to have a different commander, extremely flexible and insidious, completely different from their previous opponents, as if they were dormant in the night, waiting until the prey was completely encircled. He commanded the ferocious wolves to start hunting and killing their prey.

"I don't know what's going on, but I know that if we don't retreat now, we really won't be able to get out" Mayen's eyes reflected the beating flames, and his tone trembled a little, his battle robe was half burned by rockets, and he looked very embarrassed.

Since Cao Jun has been prepared. The surprise attack became a strong attack, but Ma Yan and Zhang Yi had selfish intentions and deliberately let the other troops fight late for a while, which now caused the two of their descendants to almost fall into a catastrophe.

Before Zhang Yi could answer, one of his guards shouted in panic: "General, fire, fire"

"I know, it's everywhere," Zhang Yi shouted impatiently.

"No, it's in the direction of Yangwu!"

"What?"

Ma Yan and Zhang Yi were shocked. Hurriedly climbed an occupied high wall, risking being sniped and looking back, they saw the same scenery as everyone else, although it was not very clear, but the fire could be seen from so far away, which in itself has already explained the scale of the fire, which can be described as a monstrous flame, Yang Wu showed the real grain land of the Yuan army. But now that it has been ended by Cao Jun, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi can anticipate the next progress. Hundreds of thousands of troops with empty bellies were forced to retreat and eat everywhere under the pursuit of Cao's army.

"Withdraw!" The two generals only glanced at each other and came to a consensus.

Retreat was not an easy task, and the fearsome commander of the Cao army was extremely tenacious and predictable, and he could always calculate the movements of the Yuan army one step ahead. With every step they took, they were ambushed by the troops they least wanted to see, and then a curtain of fire struck, and the flaming arrows filled the sky like fireflies. Suddenly, it came in a hurry.

Ma Yan and Zhang Yi used all their experience and wisdom to reluctantly bring out their own descendants who had suffered heavy casualties, and if it weren't for the small number of Cao's army, their losses would have increased.

The second general who survived by luck brought the team back and forth to the front camp of the Yuan army, at this time the whole camp had begun to be chaotic, everyone noticed the fire in Yangwu, and the soldiers who knew where there were millions of stone grain were desperate, and the people who did not know where to store grain were even more desperate, because they saw that the black nest was also on fire, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi returned to the camp tent, and before they had time to replace the damaged armor, they began to suppress the Yuan army mutiny, they were busy in the camps for a long time, while maintaining order, while mobilizing the army, beware of the Cao army robbing the camp, at this time, The soldiers hurriedly told them to return to their tents, because Yuan Shao had sent a messenger.

This envoy came from Yuan Shao's camp, and Yuan Shao's oral account was very short, first asking why the two people acted without authorization, and then scolded them for why they suffered such serious losses, and finally announced the removal of the two of them, and immediately went to the main camp to receive the guilt, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi looked at each other in horror, Ma Yan stood up and asked the envoy: "Didn't Lu Kuang mention it to the lord?" According to the agreement, Lu Kuang should explain the situation on the front line to Yuan Shao and guarantee the two of them, but the envoy's answer made the two of them fall into an ice cellar.

"Lord Qi, the last general escaped from Wuchao and went to the front line of Guandu to ask Ma Yan and Zhang Yi to send troops to help Wuchao, but these two felt that the main force of Cao's army was in Wuchao, so they were unwilling to send troops to Wuchao to rescue, but sent troops to attack Cao Cao's camp without authorization" The messenger said: "This is Lu Kuang's original words, after receiving the military information of your defeat, he suggested that the lord take you to ask for guilt!" ”

Ma Yan and Zhang Yi didn't expect that Lu Kuang didn't plan to cooperate at all, but instead of cooperating, he also dug a pit and waited for them to jump, he wanted to kill them.

"Let's go, go back to the main camp and confront Lu Kuang, this bastard!" Zhang Yi shouted, he was really angry, as soon as he ran out of the camp, he saw Ma Yan chasing him out and holding him, and said with a wry smile: "Yuan Shao won't listen!" ”

"You and I have followed him for years, and I think he will listen to the two of us!" Zhang Yi's defense seemed pale and weak, and when he said this, I am afraid that even he would not believe it.

"You haven't known what you've been with him for so many years? If Yangwu doesn't catch fire, forget it, Yangwu is on fire, our army's defeat is decided, and the lord doesn't find a scapegoat to come out, he will be able to get by like this? ”

Zhang Yi's anger stopped suddenly, he and Ma Yan did act without authorization, and they were indeed defeated, and the scapegoat of this big battle did not buckle the two of them, it was incredible.

"What then?"

"There's only one way, it's up to you to dare." Ma Yan said leisurely.

"What a way, as long as you can save your life!"

"Go to Cao Ying again,"

"Still going? You're right, Cao Jun definitely didn't think that we would rob the camp, and on the premise of heavy casualties! ”

"Camp robbery? Who told you to fight, even if this robbery is successful, what can it be? Yuan Shao's defeat is a foregone conclusion, I mean vote"

Zhang Yi's eyes widened, and he pulled out the knife with a "swish", Ma Yan jumped back, and asked what you want to do, Zhang Yi didn't say a word, and stabbed the chest of Yuan Shao's envoy who came out to check the situation: "Since you want to vote, you have to show sincerity!" ”

On the battlefield of Guandu that had just been quelled, there was a strange picture, just now there was a fierce face and a fierce face clamoring to step on the second general of the Cao camp, but at this time he thought that two children who had done bad things, with a few personal soldiers slowly walked to the front of the Cao camp, both knelt down, their hands were tied behind their backs, the gate of the Cao camp was quickly opened, and the heavily armed infantry soldiers lined up and surrounded several of them.

"I'm waiting for Cao Gong to descend!" Mayan looked up and said to the soldiers who had just been enemies.

"Cao Gong is not here!" The soldiers were cold.

"Who's in charge of the overall situation?"

"It's me"

A young voice came, and then Ma Yan and Zhang Yi were surprised to see that a weak young man was sitting on a wooden wheeled cart, creaking and being pushed over, it was only the May season, but the young man was wrapped in a relatively thick mink fur, like a bleak fallen leaf.

"Guo sacrificial wine?" Ma Yan and Zhang Yi hurriedly knelt down, it turned out that the person guarding Cao Ying was actually this seriously ill guy, no wonder he was killed so that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

"The two generals didn't sleep well in the camp, forcing Guo Jia to stay up all night with them, this body couldn't hold it!" Guo Jia's face turned pale and said that since he took the medicine sent by Xun Yu the month before, his health has not improved, but has deteriorated, he believes that Xun Yu will not harm himself, the problem must be the body of the monk, and finally after a follow-up investigation, Guo Jia proudly proved his conjecture, the medicine that gave him medicine was an undercover agent sent by Yuan Shao to Xu Du, and the previous medicine could indeed alleviate Guo Jia's illness, but with the opening of the battle of Guandu, the monk had already tampered with the prescription of the medicine, So the medicine Guo Jia has taken in recent months is all poison.

"No, no, I have a lot of gifts before waiting, and I have come to ask the general for guilt" Ma Yan was shocked, for fear that Guo Jia would really die of illness, and this account would be counted on their heads, he was so panicked that he didn't notice the strange eyes of the soldiers on the left and right, as if he was watching a joke.

"Ka is too tired. I can't talk to you, so let's do it, if you two want to talk, follow these people and go and talk to the other side, so that others don't worry! ”

Guo Jia pointed behind him, there were four or five hundred infantry standing neatly, and there was a moving high cart in the middle, Guo Jia's meaning was obvious, just Ma Yan and Zhang Yi couldn't come over, you have to show your attitude to everyone in Yuan Shao's camp, as the so-called "make the best use of things", Ma Yan and Zhang Yi looked at Jia Xu's shrugged eyelids and the back of his bloodless hands, and felt that they had been dragged down a deep quagmire again.

Guo Jia was pushed away by the Cao soldiers, and when he was halfway there, the wheels suddenly stopped moving, Guo Jia turned his head with difficulty: "Two generals, the reason why you will be defeated is because you have your own selfishness and are unwilling to let your descendants fight with us, and second, because you have selfish intentions and cannot fight to the death, and the interests are what describe you, I hope that after you arrive at Cao Ying, you will change!" ”

Ma Yan and Zhang Yi were sweating profusely, they didn't expect Guo Jia's eyes to be so vicious, and they could see the purpose of their troops at a glance, so they didn't even dare to say it at the moment, and watched the weak young man in the car being pushed into the Cao camp by the guards.
