Chapter 365: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

Guandu, Cao Jun's camp.

"Lord, Xuchang is in a hurry!"

Cao Cao was pacing back and forth under the tent, hesitating whether to personally lead the army to Wuchao to rob grain, and when it was difficult to make up his mind, Cheng Yu suddenly rushed in, his face was very solemn, as if something big had happened.

"Xuchang urgent?"

Cao Cao's heart jumped inexplicably and asked, "What happened to Xuchang?" ”

Cheng Yu said in a condensed voice: "Gongtai will report to the army with 800 miles in a hurry, and the general Zhao Yuntong under Luo Zheng will send 100,000 Sichuan troops to attack Nanyang, and Wancheng will fall within ten days, and Xuchang will be in danger!" ”

"What?"

Cao Cao was taken aback, "There is such a thing?" ”

Cheng Yu nodded and replied, "It's true! ”

Cao Cao's face became extremely ugly, and he was silent for a long time.

Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "100,000 Sichuan troops poured out, Luo Zheng has already decided the foundation of the lord at any cost, the situation in Xuchang is already in danger, please go to the decisive battle as soon as possible, and try to break Yuan Shao's army, and then the big thing will be suspended!" ”

"That's it!"

Cao Cao was also a very decisive person, and immediately said: "Quickly summon all the generals to come to discuss the matter." ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu agreed and immediately ran out.

Tiger Pass, the camp of the Xiliang Army.

"How long do we have to send troops?"

Luo Zheng is irritable; Pacing around under the tent, pacing for a while before stopping to ask Jia Xu.

Jia Xu replied: "It will take half a month before the troops can be dispatched." ”

Luo Zheng suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and prepare, try to hurry!" ”

Jia Xu said helplessly: "My lord, the transfer of baggage ordnance is not a day's work, which is also the transportation of the navy." It was much faster than by land, and there were plenty of supplies under the lord's rule. All kinds of baggage and ordnance are in reserve, so they can be brought in urgently. If the other princes lose all their baggage and ordnance, it will take a year and a half to prepare. ”

"Hey!"

Luo Zheng slammed the knot and said: "Cao Ah can't die, this general is really uneasy!" ”

After a pause, he asked, "How are the cavalry resting?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The war horses and horse materials have been allocated in place, but some weapons and armor are missing, and the Ordnance Department has rushed to make them, and they can be transported to the army in seven or eight days." In ten days at most, 30,000 cavalry could go on the march. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', paced a few more steps, and asked, "How is the road repaired?" ”

Jia Xu said: "General Gao Shun is leading the army to dredge, and it will be repaired in three days." ”

Luo Zheng's face relaxed, "That's fine." ”

Guandu, Yuan Shao's camp.

"Lord, Wuchao urgently!"

Yuan Shao was convening his henchmen to discuss the civil and military affairs, and Guo Tu suddenly rushed in.

"Hmm. Black nest? ”

Yuan Shao was taken aback and said sharply: "What happened to Wuchao?" ”

Guo Tu hurriedly said: "General Chun Yuqiong sent 800 li to hurry up and report quickly, and Cao Cao personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Wuchao, wanting to burn our army's grain and grass. Please send troops to rescue as soon as possible, and the big thing will be suspended later! ”

Yuan Shao was puzzled: "How does Cao Apu know that our army's grain and grass are in the black nest? ”

Frustrated: "This must be Xu Yu's notice!" ”

Yuan Shao's face turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Yupifu." How unreasonable! ”

The trial is secretly happy, Xu You really gave him a long face!

Previously, he ordered someone to copy Xu You's family. Although Yuan Shao didn't say anything, he could see it from the trial. Yuan Shao was somewhat unhappy in his heart, and now Xu Yu defected to Cao Cao, and sold Yuan Shao by the way.

Looking at Yuan Shao's appearance, you can know how much he hates Xu Yu now.

Since this is the case, he ordered someone to copy Xu You's family, Yuan Shao should not be unhappy anymore!

Military advisor Tian Feng said: "Lord, Wuchao's grain and grass are a matter of importance, and the heavy troops should be rescued as soon as possible." ”

Zhang He also persuaded: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, and the black nest must not be saved." ”

Yuan Shao said disapprerovingly: "Wuchao has an army of 20,000, and Chun Yuqiong is also a general in a hundred battles, what can Cao Apu do if he only brings thousands of soldiers and horses, is it possible that Chun Yuqiong can't even stop Cao Apu's thousands of soldiers and horses?" ”

"This ......"

Tian Feng was dumbfounded and felt powerless.

Frustrated: "Lord, the loss of the black nest is a matter of importance, and you must save it!" ”

"This ......"

Yuan Shao was a little unimpressed, so he looked at the judge, Feng Ji and the others, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Feng Ji looked at his face, knew Yuan Shao's intentions, and said: "I agree with the lord's opinion, Wuchao is guarded by 20,000 elite soldiers of General Chun Yuqiong, and Cao Zhiran may not be able to succeed if he personally picks up the fine cavalry." And since Cao Cao personally led the elite cavalry to attack the black nest, the Guandu camp must be empty in defense, so it is better to take this opportunity to wave the army and storm the Cao army camp. Cao Cao's camp is tight, and he is bound to report to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is afraid that the camp will be lost, and he will return to the army to rescue, and the siege of Wuchao can be solved without a fight, and this siege Wei will save Zhao also! ”

The judge also said: "This plan is very good, the lord should send heavy troops to storm the camp of the Cao army." ”

Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others also nodded in agreement, but Xun Chen was silent.

"Good!"

Yuan Shao struck the festival and said: "Zhang He, Gao Ran listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

Zhang He and Gao Lan took a step forward and stood side by side in front of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao said: "Each of the troops and horses of the headquarters will attack the Cao army camp, and the Cao army must not be given a chance to breathe, and it is imperative to break through the Cao camp before the Cao Cao army breaks through the black nest, and force the Cao army to return to the division to save itself!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang He and Gao Lan took the order and strode out of the account.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, both grimacing, and shook their heads at the same time.

Xuchang.

"Mr. Chen Gong, it's not good!"

A small official rushed into the inner hall quickly, and said to Chen Gong with a panicked face: "The Xiliang army has come here. ”

"So fast?"

Chen Gong's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

After saying that, he hurried out of the inner hall, and the little official wiped his sweat and hurriedly followed.

As soon as I arrived outside the door, I heard the sound of shouting and killing in the south, the streets were deserted, there was no one in sight, and the soldiers kept coming back to inspect, and the people who got the news had already hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.

When Chen Gong hurried to the south gate, he saw Cao Zhen wearing iron armor on the head of the city and was looking down.

"Mr. Chen Gong!"

Seeing Chen Gong ascend to the top of the city, Cao Zhen hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"Childe doesn't have to be polite."

Chen Gong waved his hand, rushed to the battlements in a few steps, and looked down.

Just see the south of Xuchang, the dense military camp is dozens of miles, which is extremely spectacular. At this time, the sun had just come out, the trumpets in the distant barracks were ringing, the war drums were shocking, and a group of soldiers drove out of the large camp to line up, and the front army had arrived at the foot of Xuchang City.

A general asked: "Do you want to go out of the city and surprise the Xiliang army?" ”

"No way!"

Cao Zhen said categorically: "Zhao Yun is also a battlefield general, how can he be defenseless." Look at the Xiliang front army, there are enough 8,000 archers in the rear array, if our army out of the city to raid, not only can not break the Xiliang front army, but may be entangled by the Xiliang army, once it falls into a melee, it is very likely that the Xiliang army will take advantage of the situation to seize Xuchang, how can the enemy go out of the battle. ”

Chen Gong also said happily: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, our army should only defend to the death, and must not rush into battle, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Xiliang army." ”

The deputy looked embarrassed and hurriedly retreated. (To be continued......) R1292
