In January of the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD), Puyang.

"Yunshan, is there enough food for us now?" Cao Cao leaned on the tall building and looked at the whole city, and said to Mo Wen, who was standing behind him.

"Fortunately, Yuan Taishou is generous, and our army's food and grass will be more than enough until next year."

"Generosity? Hmph, the guy at the beginning took Jizhou, there were not many soldiers, and the grain and grass were everywhere, which was still less, but with the stinginess of the beginning, it would be distressing to take out these grains for a while. Cao Cao turned around and looked at Mo Wen's left arm, which had been bandaged off, "Is the arm okay?" ”

"It's fine, but the doctor said don't push too hard."

"It's okay, if you want to rush forward and kill, just wait until your arm is completely healed...... Well? Cao Cao's voice suddenly paused, turned around with the sound of hurried footsteps, and said to the herald who rushed up: "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord! The imperial court ordered Jin Shang to assassinate Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu took advantage of this to release the news that he was going to attack us. The herald gasped and replied.

[Hehe, in ancient times, he really paid attention to the famous teacher, but Yuan Shu is really a wooden head, won't he sneak attack? ] It's not too late to release the reason after the fight, and it's really brain-dead and there is no cure. Don't ask malicious thoughts.

"Highway wants to take away my foundation? I don't know if you have such a big appetite. Cao Cao's eyes flashed with murderous aura, "Is there any other news?" ”

"Nope."

"Let's go down...... Wan shan! ”

"In!"

"Command the generals, prepare to march into Juancheng, go to Wen Ruo with grain and grass, he will be ready."

"Yes!"

===================================================

Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

"Yuan Shu wants to fight Cao Cao?" Liu Biao looked at the half-kneeling officer under the tent, "Is this true?" ”

"Lord, it's true!"

"Hehe......" Liu Biao laughed in a low voice: "Yuan Shu boldly took in Sun Jian's descendants, he must have coveted my Liu family's jade seal, and now he is attacking Yanzhou with the order of the Son of Heaven...... Yuan Shu, do you want to usurp my Liu family? ”

Yanzhou Chenliu in the mountains.

"Big boss, the Han dogs are going to fight."

"Really? That's great! This is a great opportunity for us to make a comeback in Montenegro! ”

In the Fura tent.

"Shan Yu, this is Yuan Taishou's letter."

"Oh, let me see." Yu Fuluo took the letter.

"Haha, this time you can avenge the last arrow! Guys, get ready to go! ”

============================================================

"Report ...... Lord, there is news from the front, Jingzhou Liu Biao has sent troops! Cut off the grain routes of our army. ”

"What?!" Yuan Shu slapped the table, "Liu Jingsheng cut off our army's food channel?" ”

"Yes."

"Damn, now that I am at war with Cao Cao, it is not appropriate to provoke Liu Biao anymore, so I can only retreat, pass on my orders, and march to Chenliu. and Liu Shen. ”

"In!"

"With your soldiers and horses, go to Kuangting, remember to hold on! If Liu Biao has any changes, report to me immediately. ”

"Yes!"

"Humph! Mengde, do you think my brother's boat is good? Even if Liu Biao helps you, can you stop my army? Yuan Shu glanced at the subordinate Wu of the account: "Meng De, you are doomed!" ”

Juancheng.

"Haha, God help me." Cao Cao looked at the news in front of him and laughed.

"My lord, what does the letter say?" Chen Gong asked on the side.

"Liu Jingsheng cut off the grain road of the highway, which is just that. But the guy on the highway is cowardly, so he actually divided the troops. Cao Cao's waist bent down with a smile: "Zhida is talented, and he is looking for his own death." ”

"Lord, where is Yuan Shu's garrison? How to divide the troops. Mo asked.

"Well, the guy on the highway garrisoned Fengqiu, and the general under his command, Liu Shen, led the army to march to the southwest. What is Yunshan's good strategy? ”

"Yuan Shu's division of troops is a good time for us to wait for each to break through, I suggest defeating Liu Shen first, and then attack Yuan Shu head-on when he returns to help."

"It's a feasible plan." Cao Cao nodded.

"It's wonderful, it's just dangerous." Chen Gong shook his head: "If Yuan Shu finds us and waits, and we are all killed and have no place to be buried." ”

"Wealth and danger are sought, even with Liu Jingsheng's help, we are far from being Yuan Shu's enemies, if the Yellow Turban Army is trained to fight, now hold on until the opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to defeat Yuan Shu." Mo Wen replied: "And I believe that Gongtai stayed in Juancheng, and Yuan Shu couldn't see it." ”

"Okay, how many soldiers and horses do you need? Can the public station be confident? ”

"Looking at Yuan Shu's division of troops, I expect that there are not many capable people in Yuan Shu's army, as long as there are 1,000 soldiers, I have eight points of certainty that Yuan Shu can't see the truth clearly."

"Eight is enough! Yunshan, Yuan Rang, you wait with me to sneak attack Liu Shen; Miaocai, you help Gongtai defend Juancheng. ”

"Yes!"

Fengqiu, the camp of the Yuan army.

"Hmph, where is the Cao army stationed?" Yuan Shu asked the general beside him.

"Cao's army is stationed in Juancheng, and in the past two days, soldiers have gone to the forest to cut wood, and it seems that they want to hold on." The general replied.

"A small city can be captured in a few days, how many things can he build to defend the city temporarily? It's useless to storm the city, and I'll have time to make siege equipment, so let him shrink in a turtle shell for two days. ”

"The lord is wise."

In the forest outside Juancheng.

"Is there any movement in Yuan Shu?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yuan Shujun is also logging." The sentry replied.

"Highway Soldier Logging ...... I guess it was used as a siege object. Fortunately, it seems that the highway will not be attacked within a few days, and the plan of the public platform will be successful. Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "I've finished waiting for the sergeants to leave the city?" ”

"Except for the more than 1,000 soldiers who stayed in Juancheng, they have all left the city." Xiahoudun replied.

"Okay, let's go!"

A day later, Kuang Ting.

"Yuan Shu's general's general is camped here? Is it well defended? Cao Cao asked the sentry on the side.

"Yes. The southern flank of the enemy was heavily defended, and the rest was sparse. ”

"It seems that Yuan Shu sent this army because he was afraid that Liu Biao would play another sneak attack and cut off his grain route." Mo Wen interjected.

"Okay, then we'll go to the camp tonight." Cao Cao made a decision.

"Lord, please listen to me."

"Oh? Yunshan has a clever plan? ”

"Lord, we are a sneak attack, why don't we wait until the end of the fourth watch to steal the camp? We don't have to test the chance to face the enemy tomorrow during the day, but now we order the soldiers to be fed and sleep in peace, and when the fourth watch is over, wouldn't it be better for us to sneak attack when the enemy is sleeping the deadest? ”

"If it is reasonable, it will be according to your plan."

That night, Kuangting, Yuan's army camp.

"Hey, the merit doesn't have my share again." Liu Shen fiddled with the lanterns: "It is said that Liu Biao is being released and taking care of the grain road, but there is no shadow of Liu Biao's army." The great opportunity to make a career was lost to those guys. Hey......"

Liu Shen sighed and lay on the couch, slowly closing his eyes: "Let's sleep first." ”

In his sleep, Liu Shen vaguely heard someone shouting, the sound became louder and louder, and then he felt the world shake and opened his eyes.

"General! Checkmate! Someone attacked the camp! General ......"

"What!" Liu Shen turned over with a clever turn, grabbed the soldier's arm and shouted, "Who attacked us!" ”

"No...... I don't know. The soldier paused, "General, run away, many brothers have been cut down before they can get up, and only a small number of people can get up to resist, but they can't stop it immediately!" ”

"How can you escape!" [This is Kuangting, the grain and grass have not been transported away, if you lose it here because of escape, the parents at home will not be able to keep it! ] Liu Shen put on his armor: "Follow me to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

The flames licked the firewood, making a crackling sound, and the sergeant rushed into the camp tent, stabbing the sleeping enemy soldiers inside, and occasionally resisting, accidentally knocked over the bonfire, and now the entire Yuan army camp was reflected in the raging flames.

"It's effortless, Yuan Jun's quality is not very high." Mo Wen looked at the Shura field in front of him and muttered to himself.

"Yunshan, your vision is high, you were slightly inferior to them when you first became a soldier." Cao Cao's voice came from behind Mo Wen.

"Lord!" Mo Wen hurriedly bent down.

"No need to be polite, it seems that the overall situation has been decided." Cao Cao looked around: "This is the place where Yuan Shu tun grain?" ”

"Presumably so, now Yuan Shu will either turn around and fight with us, or storm Juancheng, but is he so bold when he has no food in the army?" Mo Wen sneered: "I'll wait here to wait for work, Yuan Shu will definitely be defeated with one blow." ”

What Yun Shan said was very ...... Hey? Cao Cao listened attentively: "There are still many people who resist, probably this is where the generals are." Walk! Yunshan, follow me to see how this Liu Xiang's martial arts are. ”

"Yes."

"Whew...... Generals, brethren...... It's really unbearable. The captain of the guard picked up the spear that was stabbing at him, gasping for air...... Let's break through. ”

"General...... I don't want to die, so let's break through. ”

"The grain and grass can't be kept, let's go."

The surrounding soldiers persuaded one after another.

"What to go! Do you think you can go? Liu Shen shouted: "At least pull a few more pads before you die!" ”

"Put down your weapons, let go and wait for a way out!" Just when Liu Shen was fooling his subordinates to play with their lives, a voice came.

Liu Shen raised his head and found a general standing not far away, although he was not tall, but his bearing was extraordinary. "Who are you? And who qualifies me to be spared? Liu Shen shouted: "We eat Yuan Jun's Lu, and we should be loyal to him!" ”

"Then you will die!" Xiahoudun, who was on Cao Cao's right, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, drew out his long knife and rushed over.

Liu Shen's eyes froze, and he stabbed out the spear with a loud shout. Xiahoudun turned sideways and let him backhand cut off his head, Liu Shen rolled on a lazy donkey to dodge, grabbed the spear and was about to fight with Xiahou in the next round, when he suddenly felt a pain in his heart. Liu Shen slowly lowered his head and found that a piece of spear head came out of his chest, and there were bright red blood beads hanging on the tip of the spear.

"Right...... I'm sorry, general......" The soldier with the gun trembled all over: "I...... I don't want to die! ”

"After all, it's still death." Liu Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"The general is dead! Don't surrender yet! Xiahoudun looked back and saw that Liu Shen was plotted by his subordinates, and then loudly persuaded Yuan Jun, who was still fighting, to surrender......

A quarter of an hour later, there was no resistance in the entire camp, and Mo Wen beckoned his men to clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners or something, and happened to meet Xiahoudun who led people to search the camp.

"General Xiahou, how is Liu Shen's martial arts?" Mo asked for a topic.

"It's hard to say." Xiahoudun touched his chin, "I have a little strength, but I only fight with him, I can't see anything, but he knows the military strategy, you see." Xiahoudun pointed to the railing in the camp: "If it weren't for the fact that this person camped quite in order, these horses alone would not have been able to hold us for so long." ”

"It's just that he didn't die in the end? It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows. ”

"That's true." Xiahoudun nodded, "Now that we have defeated a Yuan Shu soldier and horse, now we only need to wait for the enemy army to come to help." ”

"yes." Mo Wen looked into the distance, the sun had already leaked half of his face on the horizon, and the soft sunlight shone on him, pulling out a long shadow behind him. The breeze swept across his face, and Mo Wen whispered as if in a dream: "Now wait for Yuan Shu." ”
