Chapter 70: Cao Cao VS Yuan Shao
"Originally, don't come unharmed!" Cao Cao held the camp for three days, and Yuan Shao came with a large army to call for battle, and Cao Cao was not to be outdone, and led the army out to meet the battle.
"Mengde, I haven't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same!" Yuan Shao restrained the war horse and arched his hand with a smile.
"Originally, politely, at the beginning, the battle of Guandu, you have been defeated, I intend to reconcile with the original, the original is located in Hebei, I am stationed in the Central Plains, and jointly restore the Han Dynasty, it must be a good story in the future, why should I raise troops to invade my Yanzhou?"
"Meng De, this is a bad statement, since we all want to restore the Han Dynasty, then there must be a priority, is you the master, or am I the master? I'm afraid everyone wants to call the shots! Yuan Shao smiled, if Cao Cao and his own side were willing to give in, then why should the big man be worried?
"Good! Since I was determined to do this, I will also accompany me to the end to see who can call the shots for the Han! ”
"Mengde is so big, Mengde! I haven't sparred with you for many years, I don't know if Meng De has the courage to talk to me! After speaking, Yuan Shao pulled out his world sword.
"Oh?"
"Hahaha! If you are interested, with you in the first battle! After speaking, Cao Cao pulled out the Heavenly Sword and whipped the claw Huang Feidian and rushed forward.
"Good! Mengde, Sholaiye! Yuan Shao also greeted him.
Clang! The long swords of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao made a deafening sound, and the first sword, everyone was evenly divided.
"This?" The officers and men of the two armies were stunned, and their lords actually rushed out.
"Hehe, extraordinary, uncle made a bet with you, and he would lose in the first place. Mengde will win! Xu You smiled and took out a piece of gold.
No way! Xu You. At this time. Are you still worried about your money? Want to bet?
"Extraordinary, how's it going? If your uncle loses, you'll lose double! Xu You shook the gold in front of Lu Rui.
"Good! Since my uncle is interested, I make a bet with my uncle, and I bet that my uncle will win! Lu Rui glanced at Xu You with a smile on the horse.
"Good! Extraordinary is a certainty! ”
"Bufan, do you think Meng De will lose?" Xu You approached Lu Rui and glanced at Lu Rui suspiciously. On age, Yuan Shaoda, on martial arts. When Cao Cao was young, he was a cut above Yuan Shao.
"Uncle, I don't know who will win, but my uncle wants to bet, and my little nephew will play with my uncle." Lu Rui carefully observed the battle between the two, of course, he had no intention of paying attention to Xu You, and he would lose some money to him.
"Extraordinary really understands my uncle!" Xu You shrank his head in embarrassment, Xu You is greedy for money and good at gambling, as long as the gambling addiction comes up, no one can stop it. There are already many people in Cao Ying's camp who have complained about this, but Cao Cao disagrees. still according to Xu Yu's temperament.
At the other end, Cao Cao stabbed with a sword, Yuan Shao blocked it, and it was a slash when he returned his hand, and Cao Cao avoided it by turning his body to the side. The two sides have been back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, regardless of victory or defeat.
"Boom!" With a bang, Yuan Shao's army began to surround from all sides.
"What! Yuan Shao actually directly let the army press up! ”
"Zihe, quickly bring someone back to the lord!"
"Change the formation, change the circular formation, the pikemen suppress, resist Yuan Shao's cavalry!"
"Junyi, quickly take the halberd warriors back to the camp gate, you must guard the camp gate!" As soon as Xun You realized that something was wrong, he immediately ordered the generals to change the formation to take Cao Cao back to the camp.
"Primordial?" Cao Cao restrained the horse and glanced at Yuan Shao, this is not something that Cao Cao often does, why has Yuan Shao become so cunning?
"Meng De, soldiers are not tired of cheating, after I crossed the official crossing, I introspected myself, and found that I do have a lot of things that are not as good as you, today, I want you to see the other side of my Yuan Shao!"
"Hahahaha! Interesting, at the beginning, you impressed me today, and I will fight again in the future! Cao Cao restrained Huang Feidian, then jumped backwards and headed towards Cao Ying.
Soon, under the cover of Cao Chun, Cao Cao retreated into the camp. Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao had retreated to the camp, and did not immediately attack the camp, but led his troops back to Liyang.
"I didn't expect that I would come to this hand today, which was really unexpected to me." After Cao Cao returned to the barracks, he had dinner and convened the civil and military to discuss the affairs in the military tent.
"Lord, Yuan Shao will take the lead in this battle, and I am afraid that it will not be good for the morale of our army." Guo Jia stood up and reminded Cao Cao.
"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable." Cao Cao originally wanted to use the fight to win the first place and restore the morale of the soldiers who were besieged in the barracks by Yuan Shao recently, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to come to this hand, and he was self-defeating.
"My lord, my subordinates think that today's battle situation has seen the shortcomings of our army and Yuan Shao, and this place seems to be not suitable for our army to fight." Xun You also stood up and reminded Cao Cao.
"Gongda, what do you think?"
"Lord, near Liyang, there is a horse in Pingchuan, Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers, and he can suppress our army in terms of numbers, if our army is stationed here for a long time, I am afraid that the morale will be defeated by Yuan Shao little by little." Xun You observed the confrontation between the two armies today, in this kind of plain area, Cao Cao's advantage can not be brought into play at all, this is not Guandu, there are rivers, hills, dense forests as a cover, surprise surprise attack of the enemy army is Cao Cao's advantage.
"What Gongda said is reasonable, what does Gongda suggest?" Cao Cao also found the inadequacy of fighting near Liyang, as soon as Yuan Shao's army surrounded him, Cao Cao's army was useless, and he couldn't break through at all, only to retreat to the barracks to garrison, this is not Cao Cao's style, and using the army's superior forces to solve the enemy's vital forces is Cao Cao's way of using troops.
"My lord, my subordinates think that we should choose another place as a barracks for our army to resist Yuan Shao."
"Well, guys, what do you think of Gongda's words?"
"My lord, I have a place under my subordinates for my lord's reference."
"Zhongde is coming quickly."
"Lord, please see, this place is called Cangting, there is Cangting Mountain in front, and the Yellow River is behind, our army can choose to camp in the upper reaches, enter to attack Liyang, Yecheng area, retreat can move to Xuchang." Cheng Yu walked to the map, pointed to the map, and introduced it to Cao Cao.
"Oh?" Cao Cao stepped forward and looked, there was no place to garrison except for the steep Cangting that could be guarded for hundreds of miles nearby.
"According to Zhongde's words, the generals listened to the order, returned to the headquarters barracks, ordered the soldiers to cook in the evening, set off at the right time, and went to Cangting, early tomorrow morning, our army will be stationed in Cangting!"
"No!"
"Hahahaha! Xianyi, exercising in Youzhou really makes you see a lot, I didn't expect Xianyi's strategy to really work, today this general and Cao Mengde battle, although the martial arts are not as good as Cao Mengde, but it still surprised Cao Cao, good, very good! Xianyi! Yuan Shao looked at his second son and praised happily, this originally the most inconspicuous son actually came up with a good plan.
"Father should be old and strong, Cao Mengde is not afraid, our army will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao in the coming day, in order to avenge the revenge of Guandu!" Yuan Xi arched his hand and complimented Yuan Shao.
"What Xianyi said is reasonable, Xianfu, Xiansi, you have to learn from Xianyi, it is up to you to defeat Cao Mengde for your father."
"The child will not disappoint his father!" Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang knelt down and loudly showed their hearts to Yuan Shao, and the most unfavored Yuan Xi actually showed his face in front of Yuan Shao, and the two were naturally unhappy.
"Father, elder brother and third brother all have places for Xi to learn, and Xi must ask the two brothers for advice."
"Okay, the three of you are all men of my Yuan family, you must love each other to protect my Yuan family's foundation!"
"Yes, Father!" (To be continued......)
