Chapter 224: Cao Cao Attacks
In order to alleviate the grain and grass crisis of the army, Yuan Shao deliberately used Wuchao as a grain and grass transit station.
There are tens of thousands of grain and grass there.
But before I came to join my lord, I had observed it for a few days.
Found the army on Yuan Shao's side, arrogant and careless.
They only deployed a small number of troops in Wuchao, and there were no patrolling troops even on the periphery.
If I'm not mistaken, the lord is particularly fond of long-distance tactics.
Therefore, I propose to mobilize an elite army to attack Wuchao with thunderous means and burn the grain and grass of Yuan's army.
Once the huge reinforcements run out of food and grass, people will be panicked.
When the time comes, Yuan Jun will naturally be self-defeating! ”
Xu You's words made everyone nod.
Because of Xu Yu's previous arrogant attitude, they still didn't like it.
But now it seems that Xu You still has the capital to be proud.
Seeing that his speech was approved by everyone, Xu You looked at Hua Xiong and said with anticipation,
"What do you mean, lord?"
"I agree with that too."
Hua Xiong smiled and nodded.
Then everyone began to formulate a detailed battle plan.
……
Just when Hua Xiong and others were discussing how to sneak attack the black nest,
Cao Cao, who was far away in Huainan, was also discussing how to attack Huaxiong.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Duke Yuan has sent a letter, asking us to attack Huaxiong from the south and jointly crusade against this traitor.
What do you guys think? ”
Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
"Huaxiong is retrograde, causing chaos in the dynasty, and he should go out to fight!"
Chen Gong immediately opened his mouth in agreement.
"Yes, you must crusade against him!"
"My lord, I agree!"
Everyone was impassioned and spoke out one after another to agree to Yuan Shao's request.
Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He is naturally inclined to join forces with Yuan Shao to deal with Huaxiong together.
As long as Hua Xiong can be eliminated, he can be in charge of the central government with Yuan Shao at that time.
Now Hua Xiong and Yuan Shao are in a stalemate in Guandu, and they have no time to take care of the south.
According to Yuan Shao, both Liu Xuande and Sun Ce would respond to his call and attack Huaxiong at the same time.
Let's work together with multiple forces, even if he Huaxiong has great ability, it is impossible to deal with it. ”
Chen Gong twisted his beard and said confidently.
His speech naturally made everyone present nod in agreement.
"Then let's discuss how to attack Huaxiong."
Cao Cao said softly.
"Lord, my suggestion is to start with Shouchun!"
Chen Gong pointed to Shouchun Road on the map,
"The geographical location of Shouchun is extremely important, as long as it is occupied, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended."
Xiahoudun frowned and said softly,
"But Shouchun is guarded by Zhang Liao, and I heard that this person is quite capable."
"Just one Zhang Liao, it's not enough to worry about it."
Chen Gong chuckled,
"I have sent spies to inquire, and there are only 31,000 soldiers in Shouchun City.
Among them, only a thousand people are elite, and the rest are Yuan Shu's army, so there is nothing to worry about.
As long as we take him by surprise, we can easily capture Shouchun! ”
After hearing his words, Cao Cao was overjoyed,
"Gongtai is really smart, it's just a clever calculation!"
Chen Gong stroked his beard, his eyes were full of smugness, but he still pretended to be indifferent,
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, but it's not enough to worry about it."
"Since this is the case, then according to what the public platform said, immediately organize the troops and go to attack Shouchun!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice!
"Yes, my lord!"
All the generals present responded in unison.
When he fled from Luoyang City, Cao Cao brought only about 10,000 troops with him.
But he chose to rely on Yuan Shu to strengthen his power.
and took advantage of Huaxiong's call on the world's heroes to crusade against Yuan Shu, taking advantage of the fire to rob and take Yuan Shu's forces as his own.
Now he has nearly 100,000 horses, and he is also a prince.
Cao Cao gave an order, and the army under his command immediately took action.
He mobilized a total of 70,000 people and set off from Lujiang County, Huainan at the same time.
After a day and night of travel, they soon came to a place less than thirty miles away from Shouchun.
Chen Gong took a breath, looked at his surroundings, and suggested,
"Lord, I think we can rest for a while, and then go all out and win Shouchun!"
Cao Cao nodded, "Yes." ”
Just as Cao Cao was about to give the order to let the army rest on the spot,
Suddenly, in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, there was a burst of shouting and killing.
Immediately afterwards, countless sergeants dressed in the uniforms of Huaxiong's troops came out of the mountains and forests.
Cao Cao and the others were suddenly shocked.
I saw a general dressed in bright light armor, walking out majestically,
It's Zhang Liao!
"Gong Cao, I am Zhang Wenyuan, on the orders of my lord, I have been waiting for you again for a long time!"
Zhang Liao's face was grim, and his eyes were shining.
Cao Cao's heart sank, he never expected that Hua Xiong knew that he was coming, and set up an ambush in advance.
You must know that for the concealment of this raid, his 70,000 troops did not dare to take the official road, and all of them set off from the mountain road.
But who expected, it was still noticed by Hua Xiong.
Seeing that he had been ambushed, Cao Cao and his soldiers were a little panicked.
"Don't worry, my lord!"
Chen Gong said in a deep voice,
"Although this Zhang Liao has set up an ambush, there are not many people!"
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhang Liao.
It's not, although the momentum is amazing, but if you look closely, the people brought by Zhang Liao are probably less than two thousand.
Cao Cao calmed down a little and sneered,
"This Zhang Liao really ate the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and he dared to attack us with less than two thousand people.
Pass the order down and fight back immediately! ”
"Yes, my lord!"
All the generals should come down in unison.
Seeing that Cao Jun did not retreat but advanced, and killed him violently,
Yu Ban, who served as Zhang Liao's deputy general, couldn't help frowning.
"Wen Yuan, the enemy army is huge, we only have a thousand people, why don't we withdraw?"
Zhang Liao laughed,
"Wen Ze, even if we withdraw to Shouchun, we will still have to face Cao Cao's army of 70,000.
In that case, why not follow the orders of the lord and attack the enemy army before they have yet to gain a foothold? ”
He slowly raised the long knife in his hand, and then shouted,
"Soldiers, fight with me to kill the enemy!"
When the words landed, he took the lead and rushed directly towards Cao Cao's army.
He was armed with a halberd, and he personally ascended first, charging ahead.
The spirit of not fearing death will infect everyone else at once.
The 1,000 sergeants brought by Zhang Liao and Yu Ban were all carefully selected, not only with superior force, but also fearless of life and death.
These thousand soldiers screamed strangely, like a thousand evil wolves, following behind Zhang Liao, killing the enemy!
Even Yu Ban, who was hesitant, yelled and rushed out!
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but be taken aback.
He was a little envious,
"Why are the generals and sergeants under Hua Xiong so brave?"
