The battle of Wuchao was over, and the entire grain camp was almost burned clean, and there were no jumpers left.

After the news reached Yuan Shao's camp, the entire Wuchao camp was immediately panicked, the soldiers' morale was unstable, and there were even faint signs of mutiny.

The situation did not ease until the next day.

A grain search team personally dispatched by Yuan Shao carried a large amount of grain into the main camp with great fanfare, and the news spread throughout the main camp. The situation has taken a proper turn for the better, and Yuan Jun's military spirit has finally stabilized slightly.

After the morale of the army stabilized, a lingering doubt gradually began to arise in the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers, the Wuchao camp had clearly been burned out, and where did the grain and grass that was transported over for emergency relief come from?

In response to this riddle, the soldiers of the Yuan army discussed and doubted among themselves every day after the drill, until someone who knew something good passed on the information, which immediately caused an uproar among the soldiers of the entire Yuan army.

"On the night of the Battle of Wuchao, the third prince set up a suspicious plan to delay the Cao army, kept part of the grain and grass in Wuchao, and injured Xu Chu, the fierce general of the Cao army, with an arrow."

As soon as this news came out, it spread throughout the Yuan army camp and reached the ears of every Yuan army soldier at an outrageous speed.

Both ancient and modern, there seems to be an innate instinct in the speed of transmitting gossip information, which is really unusually fast, and it is inevitable to add fuel and vinegar in the middle of the transmission.

Sergeant Yuan is also a human being, and there will inevitably be no mistakes between transmissions.

The problem is that there are too many Yuan Jun, and as soon as there are too many people, the version passed on is a little too distorted......

"Alas——, have you heard, in the battle of Wuchao, the third prince set up a suspicious plan, delayed the Cao army, kept part of the grain in Wuchao, and injured Xu Chu, the fierce general of the Cao army, with an arrow!"

“..............”

"Hey, have you heard, in the Battle of Wuchao, the third prince led his troops to confront the Cao army head-on, tried his best to delay, kept most of the grain in the Wuchao, and stabbed Xu Chu, the fierce general of the Cao army, with one shot!"

“...............”

"Hehe, have you heard, in the battle of Wuchao, the third prince led the army to fight fiercely with the Cao army, and the victory was not divided, all the grain and straw of the Wuchao were kept, and Xu Chu, the fierce general of the Cao army, was killed!"

“...............”

"Haha, did you hear that? In the battle of Wuchao, the third prince led the army to break the Cao army, and Cao Cao, who was beaten, cried his father and called his mother, not only the grain and grass of Wuchao were fine, but also robbed the Cao army's rations! Damn, Cao Jun's fierce general Xu Chu cried and led the crowd to surrender, and he had to worship Gongzi as a godfather, so he let the third prince kick back! ”

“..............”

And so on, the more the various versions spread, the more they spread, the more ridiculous they became, and there were even some preliminary precursors of Ah Q's spirit, but in the end, they stabilized morale and shocked the situation.

On the other hand, after rumors from all walks of life, the name and prestige of the third prince Yuan Shang suddenly rose in the Yuan army, except for Yuan Shao himself, there was almost no one else who could be compared, and the limelight was unique for a while.

It's no wonder that the tiger idiot Xu Chu wants to worship him as a godfather, and he still pretends to be a calf and doesn't do it?

Such a person is so majestic and invincible.

At this moment, the majestic and invincible Yuan Shang was sitting on the haystack in a dilapidated tent, telling the prisoners in a wooden car cell in front of him about the details of the night of the Battle of Wuchao.

The person in the wooden prison was none other than the frustrated person who encouraged Yuan Shang to send troops to the nest to turn the tide.

When Yuan Shang finished saying the last word in his mouth, a faint smile finally appeared on his face that had been tense. Unkempt and languishing, he finally regained a trace of vitality at this moment.

"Good.... Well...."

He nodded appreciatively, the look of appreciation in his eyes was not mixed with falsification at all, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "The third prince's ability to adapt to emergencies is really higher than what he thinks!" In the face of Cao Cao himself and a number of fierce generals under his command, he can still cope with it so freely, God's will favors me Hebei, the great cause of the lord, supplemented by the three sons, it is really the Yuan family is very lucky, Jizhou is very lucky, the people are very lucky, and the world is very lucky! ”

This hat is a bit too big, who said that frustration won't shoot horses?

It's pretty slippery if you don't shoot.

Yuan Shang was a little shy when he heard this: "Mr. Fu is too praised, in fact, I also have shortcomings....."

Frustrated through the fence, he smiled at the handsome and mighty son in front of him, who was as handsome and mighty as the lord, but was willing to humbly accept advice, and was quite capable, and his heart was as sweet as honey.

The more I watched, the more I appreciated it, and the more I watched it, the more I liked it.

It's no wonder that there are indeed few people in the world who have this ability in the year of the weak crown, and who don't suffer losses when they fight head-on with Cao Cao, the hero of the world.

Even the lord himself, I'm afraid he can't do it.

Facing the frustrated gaze, Yuan Shang twisted his body, and there was an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, how could this old guy's eyes look like a big bad wolf seeing a little white rabbit waiting to be slaughtered..... Te's not very friendly.

“.... Eh, sir, I have already told you everything I should say, I estimate that my father is about to retire from the army in the near future, and Mr. is patient for a while, and when I return to Hebei in the future, I will naturally find a way to persuade my father to let Mr. out and reuse it. ”

Yuan Shang said, got up and arched his hand at Frustration, said goodbye, and wanted to turn around and walk out of the tent.

"Childe stays."

Yuan Shang hadn't taken a few steps before he shouted out to him, as if he had thought of something urgent.

"What else do you want to ask, sir?"

Yuan Shang slowly turned his head and looked at Fu Zhu with a curious expression, but saw that the old guy frowned slightly for some reason.

I saw that Yuan Shang's warm gaze was gone, and it was replaced by the wise, upright, calm, and dignified look on weekdays.

"Childe said that the lord is going to retire?" Fu Zhu frowned and looked at Yuan Shangdao.

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Yes, although I have kept some of the grain and grass, but it can only be used to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army, it is really not enough to enter the army, and my father was burned through the black nest, his health is not good, so he has not been able to serve so far, if he does not withdraw the troops quickly, he will finish the game sooner or later." ”

Hearing this, he nodded: "Withdrawing troops is a top priority, and I naturally know this, but I don't know how the lord plans to withdraw the troops, can the third prince tell me one or two?" ”

Yuan Shang shrugged his shoulders casually: "It's nothing special, that is, the rear army is changed to the front army, the front army becomes the rear army, after the jaw is broken, the three armies slowly retreat, pass through the Baima ferry to the north bank of the Yellow River, and then gather troops in Liyang, and finally return to Yecheng steadily, withdraw the troops, it's as simple as that." ”

"Alas-" Frustrated with a long sigh when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "If you really retreat like this, then the loss will be great." ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this: "Loss, what do you mean by sir?" ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "Third Prince, what kind of person is Cao Cao?" After seizing the black nest this time, it is inevitable to gather elite soldiers and good generals, ready to attack on a large scale, trying to defeat our army in one fell swoop, although the grain and grass of the black nest have not been wiped out, but only the grain of the retreating army is left, and the total destruction is not much worse, our army's morale is not high now, not to mention that the lord's health is not safe, it is difficult to command properly, the army retreated to the Yellow River, forgive how the two of them can resist Cao Cao's bee pounce? ........ The soldiers attacked it halfway, and it was disadvantageous for our army to retreat and cross the river, and Cao's thunderbolt was quite powerful, so I was afraid that the time would come..... Alas—"

Yuan Shang thought about it when he heard this, the secret path was really worthy of frustration, and what he said hit the nail on the head, it really made a lot of sense!

Yuan Shang was also a little worried: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, it's just ...... Whether our army retreats or not is our final say, and whether the Cao army pursues or not is also their own decision, even if Mr. sees the drawbacks, but I'm afraid it will not be able to contain Cao Cao's offensive, and we can't tell Cao Cao that he is not allowed to send troops to pursue, right? Hehe, why do people listen to us? This move is quite difficult to solve, and the time is pressing, so it seems that we can only admit it. ”

Hearing this, he was silent for a long time, then raised his eyebrows, raised his head and said solemnly: "It may not be impossible for Cao Cao not to send troops to pursue..... Unless ......"

Yuan Shang hurriedly said when he heard this: "Unless what? ”

"Unless there is something important that can make Cao Cao scruple, cherish, and cherish so much that he gives up his plan to pursue our army."

Yuan Shang was a little stunned when he heard this: "Scruples, cherishes, and precious...... What can make Cao Cao's baby give up the chance to beat the water dogs? Does such a thing exist? ”

Fu Zhu nodded with a smile and said: "In life, there are soft scars in the world, of course there are things that can make Cao Cao bind, the third prince might as well guess what this is?" ”

Yuan Shang touched his chin and thought for a long time before he said uncertainly: "Is it his wife?" ”

There was a long silence between the two.

“....... No..... Please guess again....."

"Concubine?"

“............”

"Concubine?"

“............”

"What's that?"

"It's Xuchang! Xuchang! Xuchang, the nest of Cao thieves! Son! ”

Frustrated, I want to cry without tears.
