Chapter 178: A spy in the army
Seeing that the fire swallowed the grain and grass to ashes, and his own grain transporters were almost killed by Xu Huang, I am afraid that I will have to let this go if I don't leave. Han Meng knew that there was no point in defending it any longer, so he swept Xu Huang out of the circle with a fierce knife, and took advantage of the situation to turn the horse's head and fly away. Xu Huang saw that Han Meng ran away, but he didn't chase after him, and led the soldiers to kill and disperse the Yuan army, and burned the Yuan army's grain and grass clean. Only then did he lead the men and horses of the headquarters to retreat to Cao Ying.
General Yuan Shaozhu is discussing in the tent. Suddenly, someone reported that the fire was blazing outside. Yuan Shao hurriedly led the generals out of the tent to watch, and sure enough, he saw that the northwest direction was blazing, reflecting the entire northwest.
All the strategists lowered their heads when they heard this, and everyone was suspicious, when they suddenly saw a few soldiers who lacked armor and blood-stained robes rushing towards the big tent of the Chinese army, and when they saw Yuan Shaozhu's generals from afar, they shouted:
"General, it's not good, the grain and grass have been robbed."
All the strategists were shocked when they heard this, Yuan Shao's mouth pursed, and his brows furrowed:
"Come, capture them to me."
Those soldiers didn't know why, so they had already come up with a few Yuan Shao's personal guards, took them by dividing them by two, and escorted them to Yuan Shao's approach.
Yuan Shao glanced at these soldiers a few times and said in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
One of the leaders said with a mournful voice:
"Back to the general, the grain and grass have been robbed by the Cao army, General Han Meng is fighting hard against the Cao army, and he can't stand it when he sees it, so he asks the little ones to come back first to report the news!"
Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, and said with a sneer:
"Come on, drag it out, cut it off."
Seeing this, all the soldiers said in unison:
"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! Why should we be beheaded if we are not guilty? ”
Yuan Shao said angrily:
"Lying about the military situation, disturbing the hearts of our army, and still dare to say that he is not guilty?"
Ignoring the soldiers' pleas for mercy, he commanded both sides:
"Zhang He, Gao Ran, quickly lead the people of the headquarters to support Han Meng, there must be no mistake!"
The second general heard the words and went to the order.
But it was said that Zhang He and Gao Ran would lead the people of the headquarters to reinforce Han Meng, and along the way, Zhang He saw the fire in front of him and the smoke billowing into the sky, and his mind moved to Gao Ran:
"Brother, look at this situation, the grain and grass have been almost burned. If we go further, it will be useless, if we intercept it on the way back to Cao, we may be able to gain something. ”
Gao Lanhu rolled his eyes and nodded:
"Brother, if you have many ways, I will listen to you."
The discussion was set, and the two did not go to reinforce Han Meng and led the military horses to detour the main road. didn't want to meet Xu Huang burning grain and returning, Gao Ran laughed and said to Zhang He:
"Sure enough, as my brother expected, why should our brothers get this merit."
Let's shoot the horse and shoot the gun straight to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang was leading the troops back, and suddenly saw the murderous road ahead, and when he raised his eyes, he saw countless reinforcements coming, and said awe-inspiring in his heart: Oops! Could it be that our army is surrounded?
But what time to think about it? Seeing that the enemy will pounce, the two generals are majestic and energetic, knowing that the two generals are top masters, how dare they slack off? Gather your strength and stand up for battle. The soldiers and horses of the two soldiers did not have the slightest warning in advance, and they fought together in an instant. A white-knuckle fight is inevitable.
Although Xu Huangjun won a big victory, after all, he was tired after an afternoon, and he was already tired. In contrast, Yuan Bing is full of energy and waits for work, which is slightly better. Although Xu Huang's head is not shrewd, how can he not know this truth? However, the other party's second general is too powerful, how can he have the heart to inspect his soldiers?
I only feel that the opponent's second general's marksmanship is extraordinary, and the strength is extremely great, although he is using a heavy weapon, but somehow, he feels trembling under every blow. Kill Xu Huang is legs are weak and numb, and he can't resist the enemy when he looks at it. I was worried about how to be good, and secretly said: My life is at rest!
Suddenly, I heard the enemy army in chaos, and there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting, but I didn't understand what was going on. I only heard the gun on the other side and said slowly:
"Brother, run, enemy reinforcements have arrived."
When Gao Ran heard this, his subordinates didn't stop, and they glanced back, but they saw that the flag was not in order, and it was obvious that they were in a war. Zhang He has always been quite assertive, he said that if he wants to run, then the defeat must be decided! Gao Ran thought of this, picked up the spear, forced Xu Huang to retreat, and the second general led the troops diagonally. Xu Huang had already embraced the heart of death, seeing that the two of them had slowed down and fled, how could they dare to chase again? Put down the axe and sit on the horse and gasp for breath.
It turned out that it was Cao Jun Zhang Liao and Xu Chu who led the army to the front of the battle, and when they saw Zhang He and Gao Lan besieging Xu Huang, they joined the battle group. At that moment, the second general led troops to kill Yuan's army. The two lines of soldiers and horses joined forces and won another big victory, which led the army to Cao Ying.
By the time the generals dispersed Yuan's army and returned to the camp, the sky was already bright. The generals talked and laughed, and went back to Dazhai happily.
Before arriving at the village, the generals will see a short figure in front of the village looking back and forth in front of the village. The generals looked at each other and saw clearly.
Cao Cao's figure can be seen at a glance, not to mention that there is a domineering aura from a distance? It turned out that Cao Cao stood like this all night. The generals did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged the horses to gallop. Xu Huang put down his horse and reported the battle situation to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, applauded repeatedly, and immediately rewarded the three armies.
Cao Cao was lucky to win this one, and Yuan Shao's side was a fiasco. Yuan Shao's hatred when he heard the battle was like thunder, and when the strategists saw Yuan Shao like this, they didn't dare to step forward to speak.
Suddenly, a soldier came to report, and all the advisers looked at the soldier, looked at each other, and doubted whether the soldier would be able to see the sun tomorrow. But the soldier didn't know it, but listened to the soldier:
"Report to the general, General Han Meng is back."
Yuan Shao said angrily:
"Does he still have the face to come back? Tell him to get in! ”
The soldier sputtered:
Han ...... General Han said that he knew he was guilty and did not dare to come in outside the camp. ”
Yuan Shao slapped the table and said:
"Do you want me to welcome him in triumph?"
Seeing that Yuan Shao's anger almost burned his eyebrows, where did he dare to stay in the camp, he said a few promises, and rolled out of the tent. After a while, a general entered the camp shirtless and carrying thorns on his back.
When the strategists saw Han Meng's appearance, they couldn't help laughing, seeing that the fierce waves of this cargo were actually guilty, but Yuan Shao was angry at this time, where did he dare to laugh?
At this time, Yuan Shao was closing his eyes and concentrating, forcibly suppressing the anger, and heard some slight movements in the room.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a man kneeling there, carrying thorns on his back, who else could it be if it wasn't Han Meng?
Yuan Shao said in a deep voice:
"Could it be that General Han has abandoned martial arts and followed the text? Do you still know that you read the Spring and Autumn Period and learn to be honest? Are you also worthy of being Lianpo? ”
After saying that, he slapped the table case, and the tea cup on the case flew over, which frightened Han Meng and didn't even dare to raise his head:
"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare."
Yuan Shao said angrily:
"Don't you dare? You burned all my military rations, and you don't dare? Come on, drag me out and cut it down. ”
When the counselors heard this, they stepped forward one after another to persuade:
"The lord can't, and so does General Han Meng."
"Lord, although Han Meng has had it, he is a general."
"Lord, this is not Han Meng's fault."
Although the words were chaotic, Yuan Shao could hear it clearly, someone did say that it was not Han Mengzhi's fault just now, Yuan Shao was angry, and his eyes widened:
"Judge, what do you mean by that? It's not his fault, or is it General Ben's? ”
Everyone turned their eyes to the trial, and the trial said busily:
"My lord, I don't think this matter is very strange. Our army's grain and grass routes have always been tight, why can Cao's army wait there in ambush in time? ”
Yuan Shao's eyes rolled when he heard this:
"What about you?"
Judge:
"Grain and grass have always been the top priority of our army, the reliance of our army, and the key to the decisive victory between our army and Cao's army. A certain felt that the grain transport team was ambushed by Cao's army this time, precisely because there were too many people who knew the route of the march. Now that the two armies are fighting, the hearts of the people are unpredictable, my lord. ”
Yuan Shao nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he glanced around and said:
"Who do you think is a spy?"
