"Report ......"

A horse galloped, holding the token of the spy tribe high in his hand, and the smoke and dust flew up.

Wang Xu walked in the middle of the army, heard the sound, couldn't help but stop and look, and then rode out of the army column and came to the small slope next to the road.

"Why did Shan Huai come in person?"

He was secretly puzzled, and worry rose in his heart.

The person who came was Shan Huai, the spy commander, who hurriedly dismounted when he ran ten meters away, and then strode over.

"My lord! Urgent news from the north! ”

"What made you come in person? Speak! Wang Xu frowned.

Shan Huai was not verbose, and said hurriedly: "Back to the lord, the main force of the Yuan army was defeated by Changhuan, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in two days, with heavy casualties, and the general trend has gone!" ”

"What?" Wang Xu exclaimed, couldn't help but take a step forward, and asked sharply: "When did this happen?" ”

"Nine days ago, the lord should be on his way back to Xiangyang." Shan Huai said with certainty.

"How can you lose like this? How can you lose like this? Wang Xu chattered to himself, taking a few steps back in disbelief.

After a while, he woke up and hurriedly asked, "Why did Yuan Shao lose?" The two armies have been holding each other for nearly a year, and there have been hundreds of battles of all sizes, all of which have their own victories and defeats, why did they suddenly lose out, not to mention that after defeating Zhong Xuan, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan have not broken through the left flank of Cao's army so far? ”

This qiē is too unreasonable, he broke through Si Li Zhong Xuan, cut off the rear support of Yu Ban, Zhu Ling and other left wings, it stands to reason how Gao Gan and Guo Yuan can also make a breakthrough with superior forces, so as to continue to advance and impact the frontal battlefield.

He has always been full of confidence that this is the case. Cao Cao definitely couldn't resist for long. Even if there is no big defeat. is bound to be defeated, but I didn't expect Yuan Shao to lose inexplicably, it's really bizarre.

In the face of his inquiry, Shan Huai didn't dare to hesitate, took a deep breath, and quickly explained: "Back to the lord, more than a month ago, when the lord was gradually taking over Wudu County. General Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Xin'an County, Hongnong, found an opportunity and suddenly led the Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers and 5,000 cavalry to cross the Yellow River north, attack the back road of Cao's army in Hedong, and cooperate with Yuan Shao's Hedong Taishou Guo Yuan, helping him defeat Cao's general Zhu Ling and others within three days, forcing this Cao army to retreat to Hanoi in the east and surrender to the ban. ”

Subsequently, General Zhang Liao was worried that Zhong Xuan would learn that he was not in Xin'an and would send troops from Hangu Pass. threatened Xin'an, and then withdrew. Cross the river and return. ”

"Zhang Liao really understands what I mean, and he is doing a good job!" Wang Xu couldn't help but praise on the spot, and then asked: "Since Zhang Liao sent troops so decisively to help Yuan's army break the enemy, why did the situation develop in a bad direction?" ”

"The lord doesn't know anything!" Shan Huai shook his head and said: "The Cao army led by Zhu Ling and others retreated to Hanoi in defeat and converged with the forbidden department, but Guo Yuan took advantage of the victory to pursue, and fought back and forth with the superior forces of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Gaogan, and soon defeated Yu Ban and others who were barely supporting. He then led a large army to cross the Yellow River from Ji County, Hanoi, and entered the territory of Chenliu, which was like a bamboo, and approached Cao Cao. ”

"But seeing that the plan was about to turn around, Zhang Yan of Montenegro suddenly led the crowd south to Hanoi, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear of Yuan's army, attacked it, and burned all the food and materials that had been hoarded.

"Zhang Yan?" Wang Xu's brows became tighter and tighter: "Why did he send troops to help Cao?" ”

Shan Huaihui said: "The lord also knows that Zhang Yan has relied on the Black Mountain Range and has been crisscrossing that area for many years, it is said that Cao Cao is persuading him to serve in the name of the imperial court, perhaps because he doesn't want to hide his head and show his tail anymore, take advantage of the current situation, and find a good background!" Now he has been appointed by the imperial court as the general of Pingbei and serves his life. ”

"I see!" Wang Xu was relieved, but soon asked suspiciously: "But even so, Zhang Yan should not be the opponent of Gao Gan and Guo Yuan, his Montenegrin army is not in good shape after all, the equipment is outdated, and he has left Montenegro, and it is difficult to fight against the current Hebei elite soldiers for too long." ”

"It didn't last long." Shan Huai took over: "Zhang Yan sent troops to drag Gao Gan and Guo Yuan, and forced them to retreat, and Yuan Cao's main force decided the victory and defeat. The Cao army, which was stationed near Lihu, had too few troops, and after a long battle, the losses were not small, and even the battle was defeated, so the troops had to retreat ten miles and hide south of Pushui. ”

"The Yuan army was victorious, the morale was greatly boosted, and then the army marched, but it was wiped out, a total of three large battalions, more than 100,000 soldiers, all of which were washed away by the water, and the flood passed, and the Cao army then fought back, and the Yuan army was defeated."

"It turned out that as early as a few months ago, Cao Cao listened to the plan of the poisonous man Jia Xu, secretly built an embankment to block the upper reaches of Pushui, and when Yuan Jun chased to the Pushui River, he suddenly broke the embankment and turned Yuan Jun on his back."

"How so?" Wang Xu reacted instantly and exclaimed: "If Cao Jun is so desperate to stop Pushui, wouldn't he also flood his Lihu County, what should Cao Jun who is stationed in Lihu County?" What about the people? Wouldn't they let their own people be killed or wounded? ”

"It's here!" Shan Huai sighed and said angrily: "That Jia Xu is now known as a poisoner, because of this matter, he is too ruthless, and even his own people are drowned in order to win, according to the rumors over there, Cao Cao was against this plan, but he just made that preparation, but he did not plan to implement it until he had to. ”

"But Yuan Shao was too anxious, they were defeated again and again, and finally agreed to this plan, so there was such a tragic situation, not only the reinforcements suffered heavy casualties, but the Cao army and the people in Lihu County, whether old or young, all died in that flood, and even the people of Juyang County further downstream also suffered unwarranted disasters, with great casualties, that Jia Xu is really miserable, too ruthless, too poisonous!"

"Didn't Cao Jun evacuate the people in advance at all? Didn't do anything to protect yourself? Wang Xu asked urgently.

"Nope!" Shan Huai smiled bitterly: "That Jia Xu seems to be worried that after doing protection, he will reveal his flaws, so he didn't do anything at all, and he didn't even know that Cao Jun was stationed in Lihu County, that Jia Xu didn't look like a human at all, his heart was too ruthless!" ”

Wang Xu gasped, stunned on the spot, and had a completely new understanding of Jia Xu in his heart.

This is really not done by a person, it is easy to say, but it is all human life, the flood does not grow eyes, as long as the elderly, children, and women do not escape, they all have to die, and the people who drowned in this water, don't count, just thinking about it makes people panic.

"Jia Xu, this person ......" Wang Xu muttered, but he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed helplessly, shook his head and asked, "What about later?" ”

"It is said that in fact, some people in Yuan Shao's army have raised concerns that the troops will be flooded when they enter Pushui, but most people think that it is impossible for Cao's army to flood its own people and army, if there is anything abnormal, withdraw the army as soon as possible, who knows that it will be such a result!"

Shan Huai said, sighed, and then continued: "Later, Changyuan's main force Yuan Jun hurriedly sent troops to rescue, but was ambushed on the road and suffered heavy losses. Immediately afterwards, while the Yuan army was at a loss and had not yet reacted, Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's strategy and decisively sent Xiahou Yuan to attack Wating and burned the grain of the Yuan army. ”

"Since then, the Yuan army has completely lost the opportunity to redeem the defeat, the total before and after is only a few days, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant, Cao Cao led his troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue, did not stop at all, and captured countless prisoners, as of the time of the spy report, the situation is like this, but thinking that Yuan Shao must have led the remnants of the army to retreat to Hebei."

After listening to the cause and effect, even Wang Xu was terrified in his heart, this battle was really fucking ruthless, Jia Xu stayed by Cao Cao's side, it was really not an ordinary scourge...... (To be continued......)
