Yuan Shao's attacks were overwhelming, like stormy waves, wave after wave, endlessly.

There were tens of thousands of elites on the frontal battlefield, and there were not a few who attacked from the flanks, and several battalions of Cao Ying were attacked, like a few flat boats in the wind and rain, crumbling.

At this time, Cao Cao only left more than 10,000 people on the frontal battlefield, and there were elite garrisons in other directions, as well as four or five thousand reserves, barely resisting the attack of Yuan's army.

The two sides come and go, Cao Ying holds on to the barracks, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang and other generals fight to the death, just repelling the Yuan army to the wall of the camp no less than ten times, arrows are like rain, covering the sky and the sun, if the black clouds overwhelm the city, the camp will be destroyed.

But even in such a difficult situation, Cao Cao was also a calm command, although he did not command 700,000 soldiers and horses like the soldier Han Xin, but he was also calm and showed a very high military quality.

Soon the sun was setting, night fell, and after the last attack of the Yuan army, all the soldiers of the Cao army were already tired and paralyzed on the ground, sweat and blood intertwined.

Inside and outside the wall, there were corpses everywhere. Densely packed and countless, today's battle alone, the casualties on both sides of the enemy and us amounted to thousands.

Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang and other generals were covered in blood, panting and slumped on the wall, looking at Yuan Jun who was receding like a tide, at this moment they had no thoughts in their minds, they were blank, and they wanted to lie on the ground and sleep like this.

"Pass my order, let the front-line soldiers retreat, have a good rest, and then order the soldiers behind to clean up the battlefield, be careful and cautious, and prevent Yuan Jun from coming again."

Cao Cao said to the herald beside him in a deep voice: "Is the meal hot?" ”

"It's hot."

"Go ahead."

"Yui."

The soldier went and gave orders.

After the herald left, Cao Cao slowly squatted down leaning on the pillar on the wall of the earth mountain.

He is also very tired now, not physically, but mentally.

The whole person's face was pale, and he was sweating like rain.

Commanding such a large war was not easy for him, but it was not exhausting either.

The reason for this is that Yuan's offensive was really fierce, and he almost broke Cao's camp several times, and the grain and grass in the camp were also insufficient, which made him very worried.

Fortunately, today's difficulties have been overcome.

But in the next period of time, Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao would make a comeback and continue to attack, so he didn't dare to slack off.

After a little rest, he got up and wiped his sweat, and walked back to his main camp.

A few more days passed.

By the beginning of October, Yuan Shao had launched another onslaught.

At that time, he was deprived of military power, his soldiers and horses were led by Guo Tu, Xu You and Tian Feng and Xun Chen were both masterminds, but Tian Feng was imprisoned, Xun Chen died of illness, so Xu You usually sat in the middle camp.

At this moment, Yuan Shao ordered Guo Tu to attack from the south of Cao's army, and he continued to attack in the southeast, and the two sides fought another fierce battle.

And in the tent of Yuan Yingxu You, he was walking around anxiously, waiting for news.

In the evening, a slave of the Xu family hurriedly came to report the news.

"What!"

In Xu You's tent, after listening to the slave's report, Xu You's color changed in shock: "Say it again!" ”

The slave said with a sad face: "Lang Jun has been tried and killed. ”

"You didn't write to him?"

Xu Yu asked angrily.

The slave cried: "The slave has already rushed to Yecheng, but after arriving, I learned that on the second day of the slave's report, the trial had already killed Lang Jun." ”

"Damn! Review the south, judge the south! ”

Xu You angrily pulled out the sword at his waist, slashed at the table, and roared: "I will kill you!" ”

He was already furious at the moment.

Yuan Shao didn't help, so he could only write a letter to the judge himself, begging his subordinates to show mercy.

Unexpectedly, before he sent the letter, the trial had already taken the lead and directly killed Xu You's family.

This made Xu You both angry and resentful.

The anger is that the trial is too fast, and almost does not give him time to intercede.

The resentment is that Yuan Shao actually saw death and did not save him, and he had planned for him for many years, but at this time, he watched his family die.

With such resentment, how can it be a moment of anger that can be resolved.

Soon, the anger and resentment quickly turned into a motive for revenge, and his eyes turned scarlet.

Xu You walked around the tent, the mania in his eyes could no longer be concealed, he just wanted to vent his anger now!

After a while, Xu You suddenly walked out of the tent and said to the left and right: "My family has an accident, we must rush back to Hebei immediately, if Ming Gong returns to the camp and asks, he will say that I have gone north." ”

"Yui."

The left and right generals are ordered.

Xu You found a horse in the camp, took his entourage, and left all the way north.

The sentry posts along the way were all kept in mind, and all the passwords were also used today, and they arrived at the black nest unimpeded.

In the evening, Yuan's army retreated again.

Cao Cao repelled several attacks by Yuan Shao with great difficulty, suffering heavy casualties, and the morale of the army had fallen to the bottom.

In the evening, after nightfall, Cao Cao, who had been tired for a day, ate some things indiscriminately, and didn't want to deal with other official documents, so he lay down in bed to rest.

Under the great mental exertion, he has no time to think about other issues.

The most important thing now is to get through this difficult time.

"Sikong!"

Just when Cao Cao was sleeping in a daze, someone outside the tent suddenly came to report.

"What?"

"Yuan Shao is engaged in Xu Yu to vote."

"What."

Cao Cao sat up as if he was dying, his exhaustion and drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he jumped out of bed directly, walked out of the tent and asked, "Where is he?" ”

The guard at the gate replied, "It's outside the camp." ”

"I'll meet you."

Cao Cao walked barefoot on the surface of the loess, ignoring whether the gravel would cut the soles of his feet, and hurried to the gate of the camp like a fresh wind.

At this moment, Xu You and the house slaves were outside the camp, and when they saw Cao Cao walking barefoot and laughing, they suddenly felt relieved.

Yuan Shao doesn't have the talent to tolerate people, so I'll find someone who can accommodate me!

"Hahahaha."

Cao Cao walked quickly in front of Xu You, held his hand and said, "Ziyuan is here, and the lonely thing can be done!" ”

Xu You said with a smile: "Mengde, I haven't seen you for ten years, don't come unharmed." ”

The last time they saw each other was when the princes of the Eighteenth Road in the first year of Chuping were discussing Dong, and then Cao Cao was in Yanzhou, and Xu You followed Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and ten years had passed in a flash.

"Hahahaha."

Cao Cao took his hand and walked to the camp, and said with a smile as he walked: "It's okay, it's okay to live, hurry, Ziyuan will come and sit in my tent." ”

The two entered the tent and sat down in separate columns.

Xu You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Meng De, Yuan Jun is strong, how to deal with it?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "We can only hold on." ”

Xu You said: "Yuan Shao has accumulated tens of millions of stones, which can last for the army for several years, I don't know how much Mengde's army food is?" ”

"For more than a year."

Cao Cao said.

Xu You smiled and said, "Meng Dexiu wants to trick me, tell the truth." ”

Cao Cao said again: "It can be used for half a year." ”

Xu You shook his head and said, "Meng De doesn't want to defeat Yuan Shao, then I'll go." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "The right talent jokes, in fact, it can only be used for more than a month, I don't know what to do." ”

Xu You said: "The public is alone, there is no rescue outside and the grain is exhausted, and this critical day is also." Today, Yuan's baggage has more than tens of thousands of rides, and in the old city and Wuchao, the tun army is not strictly prepared; Today, it was attacked by light troops, and it came unexpectedly, and it accumulated, but in three days, the Yuan family was defeated. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, held Xu You's hand and said: "I have Ziyuan, it is really a godsend, if I can break Yuan today, I should share the wealth with Ziyuan." ”

"Thank you, Gong Cao."

Xu Yu was courteous to Cao Cao and was also very happy.

At that moment, Cao Cao did not hesitate, taking advantage of the dark time, to lead the foot to ride 5,000, all wearing Yuan army clothes, people with horses and hooves, from the north camp gate that Yuan army was not surrounded, under the leadership of Xu You, crossed the Guandu River, all the way to the north gallop.

After arriving at Wuchao, Chun Yuqiong, the guard general of Wuchao, was really defenseless, and several other generals were drunk.

The wine they drank was still the liquor produced in Huangmen Pavilion in Nanyang, Jingzhou.

It is said that this wine is the most cold, it is the cold autumn is coming, the temperature at night drops, Chun Yuqiong and Yu Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rong and others drank very happily.

A few bottles of liquor went down to my stomach, and my whole body was warm, like a dog summer, and even sweat came out.

Soon after getting drunk, I don't know how long it took, Chun Yuqiong woke up in a trance, and vaguely saw the surrounding fire, and her body was warmer.

"This wine is very strong, I'm afraid it's a dream."

Chun Yuqiong thought in a daze, thought he was dreaming, and fell asleep again, until a sharp pain hit him and his nose was cut off, and he suddenly woke up.

"Chun Yuqiong!"

Cao Cao and he were also old acquaintances of the eighth lieutenant back then, and at this moment he tied Chun Yuqiong to a strong knot, and when he saw that his face was covered with blood, he was at a loss, so he laughed and said: "Old friends meet each other, why don't you welcome it." ”

Chun Yuqiong was already frightened at the moment, most of the wine was gone, and she hurriedly said: "Meng De, many years of old acquaintance, spare my life." ”

"Hahaha."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Why did you come to such a field today? ”

Chun Yuqiong endured the sharp pain in her nose and said, "The victory or defeat is determined by heaven, how do I know?" ”

"Huh."

Cao Cao smiled and turned to leave.

Xu You followed up and said, "Gong Cao, what are you going to do with Chun Yuqiong?" ”

"It's also an old friend for many years, let him go once."

Cao Cao said.

Xu You said: "In the future, if he looks in the mirror and sees his nose, he will remember today's shame." ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, then looked at the surrounding black nest fire, nodded lightly, and said, "You're right. ”

It's night.

Cao Jun burned the black nest and destroyed Yuan Shao's grain and grass, which caused Yuan's army to be shaken and the army's heart was uneasy.

Zhang He suggested that Yuan Shao immediately send someone to save Wuchao, but Guo Tu said that he should take advantage of Cao Cao's time in Wuchao to surround Wei to rescue Zhao and capture Cao's camp.

Yuan Shao felt that this was the truth, so he immediately sent Zhang He Gaolan to attack Cao Ying.

Cao Cao did not return at the first time in Wuchao, but led his infantry to repel some of Yuan Shao's reinforcements, and then led his troops to retreat west.

The two sides fought for a few more days, and the news was quickly reported to Xudu.

For a while, Xu Du was excited.

Cao Cao needed this news to be sent back to Xu Du, to give the Yingchuan family who supported him a shot in the arm, and at the same time to deter Xiaoxiao in the rear.

At this time, Shen Chen's spies planted in Xu Du also quickly reported the news to Kunyang.

In fact, I don't have much feeling about the death of celebrities, and I will pay high respect to the death of those scientific research academicians, for example, I went to give Yuan Lao a ride last year. But the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is my memory since I was a child, and it is also the memory of many people, the image of the second master is the image of Guan Yu in the minds of many people, and his departure also makes me feel lost, may the deceased rest in peace, and the second master will go all the way.
