Xu You knew that he no longer begged for mercy, but this time he was much tougher, and after sneering, he didn't feel that he was stabbed by Guo Tu and blushed, after all, many people do this, thousands of gold for them, they will never make any waves on weekdays, and even if they usually denounce him, Yuan Shao will only smile slightly, laugh and scold a few words, and then reward Xu Yu with a lot of money, and let him stop doing such things.

But now that I say it, it's different.

If this brother Guo Turen put his ability to seize opportunities on the battlefield, he might be able to go to Cao Cao's Guandu camp to drink today.

Sorrowful!

Yuan Shao then said: "I said that I should divide my troops and attack, mainly Baima and Yanjin, Gongzhi, Yuantu, and Zhengnan, what do you think?" ”

Guo Tu said with a smile: "He is a prisoner, why should the lord obey, at this time, the division of troops will be attacked by Cao Cao." ”

It's too late to score.

When Xu You heard this, he burst into laughter, "Haha! A group of vertical people, although they are from famous families, they are not necessarily highly educated, but they dare to speak out about characters like Frustrated Jun! The villain has to be Zhier! ”

While he said sarcastically, he looked at Guo Tu intently, as if he could see it very clearly, this Guo Jun still won everyone without revealing the mountains and waters.

He came from Yingchuan, we may not really be able to play, all the people who re-cleared their names and spoke up were imprisoned, and now I am also in such a situation, that's it!

Xu You's laughter immediately aroused Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction, he looked at each other coldly for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I think of something glad to be happy about."

"I'm in a state of defeat here, and I still need to stabilize the morale of the army, but you can afford to be happy! Someone comes, pull this person out to beat the ten army sticks, and throw them into the logistics camp. ”

"Whoa!"

The left and right guards immediately came in and restrained Xu You, Rao is Xu Yu He was arrogant and wanted to leave with dignity, and then imitate someone who laughed and scolded angrily, jokingly commenting on these selfish strategists, but when he heard the Ten Army Sticks, his heart was immediately empty.

"Lord, can't you think about it? Wrong, wrong! ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand, he didn't want to see him anymore, and asked someone to pull Xu You out of the tent, and when there were only Guo Tu, Feng Ji and other strategists left in the tent, the faces of the generals looked much better.

Especially Ju Yi and Gao Guan, there is finally a person who can sacrifice and add to the evil to warn the whole army.

Moreover, the soldiers also knew Xu Yu's status in the army back then, and the lord's impartial handling to calm the army's morale was enough to show his determination.

Xu You yelled a few times but it didn't have any effect, he was pulled out and beaten with ten military sticks, making a scream like killing a pig, fortunately, his body and bones were not weak, and the scribes and scholars of this era were not weak, so after the fight, he just sweated profusely and gritted his teeth without speaking, and carried back to the camp.

At first, the soldiers were still wondering, what happened? Why is it the military advisor who will be punished, and then as soon as it spread, it suddenly dawned on him, it turned out that he colluded with Cao Cao, no wonder he would lose today, during the war, he continued to spread rumors in the army and disturbed the morale of the army, so shouldn't he be sent to prison early like those other advisers, and then released if he won a big victory.

It was okay to quarrel in Jizhou back then, but now when the army is marching and fighting, life and death are at stake, I didn't expect that these military advisors and gentlemen are still constantly fighting against each other.

"When there is a war, there should be no other voice! If everyone has a plan and changes it on the battlefield, wouldn't it be a mess of the army's morale? The lord is the most important deceit, how can anyone disturb it, this military division really deserves this crime, and we will not lose unjustly. ”

"It's been like this early, the soldiers and horses are single-minded, maybe they have already won, how can they be led by the nose by Cao and Xu, alas! I can't imagine how convincing such people are that the military advisor is secretly greedy for wealth and wealth, and conniving at his family friends who are greedy for ink. ”

"Remove him this time, and we will have a chance to win again!"

In less than a stick of incense, the rumors in the army began to have an effect, and when the battle was lost, it was helpless to stabilize the army's experience and think of all kinds of strange ways, so even if the rumors were discovered, Yuan Shao would not stop them.

Let it ferment, sure enough, the effect is wonderful, Wuchao originally had grain and grass, and now Xu You's responsibility is pushed out, in order to show determination, most of the soldiers and horses are no longer in decline that night, although they are angry, they also regain their confidence, and they can fight with Cao Cao again.

It's just that from now on, it is impossible for Xu You to have the previous status, but Yuan Shao doesn't care, his family is corrupt and bribed, such an act can be called a decaying insect, and if he doesn't kill him, it will already be considered an extremely favor, and after defeating Cao Cao, give him some sweetness.

Now that the soldiers and horses have returned, there are still more than 200,000 elite soldiers in hand who have not been used, plus the soldiers and horses who have been distributed to various places to guard against encirclement and suppression, they can still be claimed to be four or five hundred thousand people, Cao Cao's side must also be a strong claim, today I can see only 100,000 tens of thousands, although the elite but not for a long time, how can I come to break through my camp?

In the second half of the night, Yuan Shao's mood calmed down a little, drank the medicine prescribed by the military doctor, calmed his nerves and slept for an hour, and when he woke up, he sweated, and finally calmed down.

When you wake up, you can ask about the military situation again, and let Feng Ji understand the current situation, Feng Ji's talent is not as good as Xu You, but his temperament is still better, and he knows that he does not dare to slack off on his shoulders, so he can only do it seriously.

After talking about the military situation, Yuan Shao sighed again, he remembered yesterday's battle, in fact, there was one more thing that made him feel abnormal, "Can you guess, why did Xu Zhen not arrive in yesterday's battle?" Although Xu You's words were rebellious and rude, disturbing the hearts of our army, they also had some truth. ”

"Xu Zhen clearly had the opportunity to send troops from Yanjin to raid the rear of our army, but why didn't he see him in the end? Even after that, I sent people to investigate, and there was no sign of soldiers and horses marching more than ten miles away. ”

"Guys, have you ever wondered why this is happening?"

Yuan Shao suddenly asked like this, which made people have to have some doubts in their hearts, the martial arts in the hall all looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and Feng Ji, who was a military advisor, didn't even dare to guess, and quietly bowed his head and waited on the side.

So the scene suddenly became cold, which made Yuan Shao feel embarrassed, and he felt a little angry in his heart. At this time, I missed Xu Youlai again, if he was there, at least he wouldn't be cold, and boldly guessed that he had always been good at it.

At this time, the minds of the people present were inclined to be cautious, and they had witnessed Xu You's decline, so it was estimated that they did not dare to say anything.

Yuan Shao sighed deeply and said: "According to my guess, Xu Zhen may not have planned to attack in the first place, but it is always a hidden danger, the reason why Cao Cao deliberately waited until this time to send troops to the big battle is also for this consideration, so that Xu Zhen can clamp down on the east of our army, and he will send troops to the west to raid, so that it can be chaotic." ”

"Yes, I think the same is true below," Guo Tu arched his hand, smiled, and continued: "Moreover, Xu Zhen's attack on the ugly general seems to be an understatement in the military newspaper, but in fact, who knows how?" According to the soldiers and horses who fled back, Xu Zhen probably also paid a great price to kill General Wenchou in front of the army, and now I am afraid that he is still resting, how can he immediately send troops non-stop, so he is just covering up the suspicious soldiers, and there is no need to worry. ”

"Hmmm......"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao sighed deeply, and no longer talked to Guo Tu, but just asked them to take care of all the patrols in the army, and then went out to monitor the actions of Cao Cao's army, not giving him a chance to expand the results of the battle.

The next morning, when Yuan Shao just woke up, he felt much more comfortable, and he happened to send a battle report from Yanjin, and he was happy to listen to it.

"Come on, I'll hear how Xu Bowen is going," Yuan Shao sat up straight from the bed, at this time he had already accepted the defeat the day before yesterday, so he had an excellent mentality, and he was no longer anxious, so that Feng Ji Dake could be blunt.

But who knows, Feng Ji also glanced at his colleagues left and right a few times under his head, as if it was difficult to speak, and his twisting and pinching posture made Yuan Shao sneer suddenly, "To put it bluntly, it is acceptable to suffer a big defeat, and now that the military spirit has gradually stabilized, the situation has not collapsed, so don't worry about me." ”

Feng Ji's Adam's apple rolled slightly, bowed his head, his face was full of apologies, and immediately said: "Xu Zhen, taking advantage of the battle between our army and Cao Cao, I rushed overnight and saw Cangtingjin, now that Yangping has fallen, it must be rescued, otherwise Yangping County may be captured by him." ”

"What!?"

Yuan Shao's heart suddenly lifted, Cangtingjin has thousands of soldiers and horses stationed, but the road is rugged and difficult, if you want to pass from Yanjin, you have to climb over the mountains, Xu Zhen can still march in the mountains? If he could really go directly to Cangting, it would mean that it would be impossible to hold the several passes in the mountain road between Yanjin and Cangting.

Finished! Yangping City has been lost, there are not so many soldiers and horses stationed in Yangping County, it will definitely be lost, Xu Zhen did not come west to raid the rear of our army! Instead, he walked eastward, and directly broke away from the army and attacked the territory of my Yanzhou!

After Yangping is Liaocheng, and then forward is Qinghe!!

If the Qinghe River is lost, Wei County will have to be cut off from the plains and other places!

Xu Zhen's intentions are so poisonous!

"Oops!! This person, like Cao Cao, is vicious, a traitor, a thief, a thief, and a thief!! This son will surely die in the future, and there will be no place to bury him, and he will not die well!! ”

Yuan Shao didn't even care about the elegant and noble etiquette at this time, just like the bad old man of the ordinary people's family cursed, mainly because Xu Zhen used troops like this, which was indeed unexpected, not only did he abandon conventional thinking strategically, and he won by surprise, but even the soldiers and horses under his command were far superior to Yuan Shao, at least among the Yuan army, there were thousands of people who could fight bravely over the mountains and mountains.

To get to Cangtingjin in one day, in addition to taking a boat down the river, you have to cross the many mountain roads from Yin'an to Yangping.

"Immediately send troops to the rescue! I can't lose Yangping County! Let Zhang He lead the army to garrison Yangping! White horses can no longer be surrounded! Ordered Liu Bei to withdraw, no longer surround the white horse, Yangping is important! If we are defeated in the county, we will lose all advantages! ”

"Well, let's go here!"

Feng Ji was also flustered at the moment, he didn't expect that he didn't have time to rest for long after taking office, and there was such an urgent military situation immediately, originally a Cao Cao was difficult enough to deal with, after all, he couldn't guess how he would march, and now there is another Xu Zhen, and Cao Cao complements each other.

Where can Yuan Shao still sleep now, the mind that has just settled down is panicked again, Xu Zhen Xu Zhen, it's him again!

From last year's beginning to this year's war, there is Xu Zhen's shadow almost all the time, a young man who has not yet arrived in his thirties, from Yanzhou to help Cao Cao, I didn't expect to be able to go to such a point, and now he can even influence the war situation, the elite soldiers under his command are incredible.

……

The Cangting camp was opened, Xu Zhen started from Yanjin, leaving 6,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yanjin, and then the army came out, entered the Yangping City Road, and after three passes, he was stationed in Yangping City, and sent a sentry to Liaocheng and Guantaodu, and checked the soldiers and horses in the city, so he began to garrison and wait.

Establish patrols.

In the government office, Xu Zhen was still in charge of the government, let the grain and grass be sent out, and the people near Yangping were summoned to return to the city to settle down, according to the past tradition, the houses and fields were also returned to the people.

Xu Zhen also didn't want anything, he had one or two pieces of good land, he paid for the military funds by himself, wrote the contract to buy it, and the bottom line of his own integrity was not crossed at all.

Above the main hall, Zhuge Liang reported on the current warehouse in the city, so that Xu Zhen had a number in his heart.

"That's all the wood and stone, now the students have urged Pu Feng to step up the production of Sutie crossbow arrows, and place the Yuanrong crossbow on the city wall to defend the city, now 30,000 soldiers and horses are in the city, if it comes to the battle of attacking and besieging the city, I'm afraid the cavalry can't help too much, Zilong and Zhongkang are under the command of the two generals, as the backbone of the soldiers and horses."

"The students suggested that the armor and crossbow riders should be camped outside the city, which is easy to defend in the mountains and forests, and it is also good to deal with the city."

"Yuan Shao, he will definitely come to the siege, but his army may not come in person, or he will make the siege of Baima resolved, and then divide his troops to attack us in Yangping, I don't know how long this small city can be defended."

Although he won the battle, Zhuge Liang's expression was not relaxed, and he distributed grain and land to the people, just to settle the people's hearts as soon as possible.

Xu Zhen put down the bamboo slip, reviewed a line of words on it, and then tied it up and prepared to seal it, his temperament was still quiet and not dry, and he said indifferently: "It's okay, I believe that the lord is, the longer we can last, the easier it will be for him to succeed." ”

"Wuchao's guard Chun Yuqiong is a wine bag and rice bag, and he can make contributions in one night by riding lightly, and after this battle, Yangping, Weijun, and Qinghe can all be obtained, so that Yuan Shao can escape elsewhere."

"Go and give the order, let the armored cavalry and crossbow cavalry be stationed outside, ready to raid the rear at any time, once Yangping City is besieged, they can make contributions."

"I expect that within seven days, Yuan Shao's army will arrive, and in these few days, the vanguard soldiers and horses will come to the rescue, so that Yuan Shao can only retreat to the back of Liyang."

Xu Zhen had a rough picture of the nearby mountain and forest map in his mind, so he closed his eyes and was silent for a while, probably knowing the terrain, the only drawback was that if the plain that came out of Yanjin before was blocked, Yangping would probably have no food.

In Yanggu, 30,000 stone of grain was hoarded, which was not enough for several months, but Yuan Shao should not be able to last until that time.

Everything is ready, and it is almost ready to wait for the defeat of Yuan's army in one fell swoop.

……

Three days later, most of Yuan's army marched and sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to Yangping, and Yuan Shao also moved his large army camp to the east.

In the same baggage camp, Xu You and Fu Zhi, who were temporarily guarded, heard the movement, and hurriedly went out of the tent to see, but for some reason they wanted to move troops and horses, and thought that Cao Cao was attacking again.

"Why is there such a commotion?"

"Xu Zhen breaks Yangping, the lord orders the army to rescue!"

Fu Zhi and Xu You glanced at each other, and they both felt that something was wrong, and they must not rush into the army at this time!

It's over, it's all calculated!
