In this blitzkrieg, everything that happened seemed sudden.

The Yuan army attacked Guandu Tucheng on all sides, and the road was stable on three sides, and after waiting for the dangerous Yuan army to retreat on three sides, the news actually came back from the north of Guandu, which made the morale of the Cao army even lower because of Cao Hong's death.

No one could have imagined that Cao Hong, who was still guarding the north yesterday, would be killed the next day, and he would die from his own low eyelids, along with the generals and Cao soldiers he led out of the city.

Cao Jun's core personnel are very few left, Cao Hong is dead again, and the talents are withering.

Hearing this news, the grief in Cao Zhi's heart instantly surged into his heart, because Cao Hong was not only one of the main generals of the Cao army, but also his uncle, although his temperament was irritable, but his weight within the Cao family was still very great.

The person who was more sad than Cao Zhi, as well as Cao Hong's brother, Cao Ren, the first general of the Cao clan, heard the news of Cao Hong's death, Cao Ren stood in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time. ”

The scout didn't dare to hide it, and said to Cao Ren with a sad face: "It's Gao Ran and Gan Ning of Yuan Jun. ”

"Gao Yan...... Gan Ning ......" Cao Ren clenched his fists tightly and nodded heavily, remembering these two names deeply in his heart.

The Xia Hou clan is still reluctant, but the generals in the Cao clan who are close to Cao Hong can't stand it anymore at the moment, especially those rising stars of the Cao clan.

That night, there were Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, two junior generals of the Cao family, wearing plain clothes and white scarves, and came to Cao Zhi. Crying bitterly, he asked Cao Zhi to send troops to avenge Cao Hong.

After listening to the words of the two, although he was sad in his heart, he still didn't dare to be careless, and immediately asked Jia Xu for advice.

Jia Xu glanced at Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who were dressed in plain clothes lightly, full of hatred, and didn't say much, just one sentence: "Don't go to war, otherwise I'm afraid of following in Cao Hong's footsteps." ”

Now Jia Xu. Although he did not conspire, he was already the mastermind in the army, and Cao Zhi did not dare not listen to his words.

However, Cao Zhi respects Jia Xu, and Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are not used to him. After listening to the old man's words, he was immediately angry. got up and pointed at Jia Xu's nose and opened his mouth to scold. said that he "eats people's food and does not do personnel", and "outsiders can know the affection in our clan......

However, fortunately, Cao Renzhen was able to control the overall situation, so he pulled the two boys out immediately, criticized them fiercely, and asked them to apologize to Cao Zhi and Jia Xu.

Cao Ren understands the righteousness and understands the overall situation. Although he also wanted to avenge Cao Hong, he understood that what Jia Xu said was not wrong.

On the other hand, when Gan Ning and Gao Ran returned to the camp. It's already dark.

Today, Yuan Shang commanded the three armies to attack Guandu Tucheng, and he was very tired, but as soon as he heard that the second general had returned and brought back Cao Hong's head, he was very happy in his heart, and he forgot about his fatigue, so he immediately summoned the two into the account and rewarded them heavily to commend his merits.

After the two received the reward, they immediately went down to rest, although they did not speak to each other, Yuan Shang could see a trace of hostility between them in the eyes of the two of them.

In addition to being curious, Yuan Shang immediately summoned the deputy general of the army to ask, only to know that the two of them had a dispute over Cao Hong's head, but no one had done anything yet, Cao Hong was already killing himself with a horizontal sword, and as a result, the two were still arguing, and finally one of them came back together with one ear of Cao Hong's head. After a few moves on the way, I almost didn't put it together.

Yuan Shang laughed when he heard this, shook his head and sighed.

In fact, after Yuan Shang heard this, he was really not angry at all, but he felt that this was a good thing, there was some friction and estrangement between his generals, which was a blessing for him, if the generals under him were close to each other, and they were like brothers, it would make Yuan Shang sad.

Therefore, Yuan Shang did not mean to adjust Gan Ning and Gao Ran.

Soon after Cao Hong's head arrived, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu asked for help.

The two entered the handsome tent and congratulated Yuan Shang, and then brought the conversation to the main topic.

Fu Zhu asked Yuan Shangdao first: "Lord, Cao Hong is dead, and the morale of Cao Jun is even lower, I don't know if you have any plans for the next step?" ”

Yuan Shang shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Tian Feng's face was straight, and he said: "Lord, as the commander of the three armies, how can he not think about how to act next?" Don't be so negligent in your actions! ”

Yuan Shang sighed in his heart, secretly saying that Tian Feng was annoying, then thought about it, and tried to say: "Cao Hong just died, Cao Jun's morale is low, and the core generals under Cao Zhi are not enough now, and we can't find an excellent person to defend the northern city for Cao Hong for a while, if we take the opportunity to fight over, there is a great chance to break through the northern city!" What do you think? ”

Tian Feng almost didn't think about it, and said: "It's not proper, don't look at Cao Hong's death, but Cao Jun is currently in a predicament, and he will definitely change his defense in Tucheng as soon as possible, if my expectations are good, Cao Hong's death will definitely affect the chain reaction within the Cao clan's generals, especially the first general of the Cao clan, Cao Ren, he will definitely personally take over Cao Hong's post and go to Beicheng to guard, Cao Ren is not comparable to Cao Hong, I am afraid that it will not be easy to break." ”

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard this, and said, "Then what now?" If you don't attack, the Cao army will defend to the death, and it will be difficult to use tactics for the time being. ”

Tian Feng smiled coldly and said: "Lord, we still have to attack now, but we can't attack blindly, we must use our own advantages, our advantage is that there are many soldiers!" According to the old man's intentions, when we attack the next time, the soldiers are still divided into four sides, but only to attack the north and south sides, and the other east and west sides do not attack, Cao Jun saw that we only fought on two sides, once the shape was dying, we will definitely evacuate the soldiers and horses of the other two sides to reinforce, and then we ambushed the soldiers and horses on the east and west roads can take advantage of the gap to attack, if the Cao army does not withdraw the east and west troops, then we will finish our work in one battle, and lay the north and south gates! Conquer Guandu in one fell swoop! ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he touched his chin and said, "Sound the east and attack the west and then feint the east?" Counting in ...... Well, that's kind of interesting. ”

Tian Feng smiled and said, "Do you think it's feasible?" ”

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Tian is very resourceful, your idea will definitely not be wrong." ”

…………

…………

Yuan Shang made a plan to attack Cao's army, but on the other hand, one of Cao's troops began to be restless.

Cao Hong died, the grief of the generals of the Cao clan is very comparable, Cao Ren has been on the battlefield for a long time, although it is painful, but he can also hold on, but it is Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, and the grief in their hearts is inexplicable.

It is an indisputable fact that the Cao clan is in decline, and with Zhang Liao surrendering to the enemy and Cao Hong being killed, the process of Cao's decline seems to be faster.

Although Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu belong to the Cao family's reserves, they are also leaders, and they can naturally feel the decline of the Cao family.

At present, Zhongzhou is in an eventful season, a strong enemy is approaching, and it is in danger, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu dare not have the slightest carelessness, and the murder of Cao Hong has sounded the alarm for them. Although they wanted to avenge their uncle, they also knew that it was impossible to do so with their strength at the moment, so the current second general was depressed.

It was at this time that a person quietly found them, and this person was none other than Cao Pi. (To be continued......)
