Chapter 339: Poison Scheme

The so-called fear of what is coming, hearing the shouts of the heralds outside, everyone changed color and swarmed out of the big tent.

At the same time, they also saw that Yuan Shao was striding forward and his pace was fast.

A group of people followed, and when they came to a high point, they saw Lu Bu riding a horse, standing majestically in front of the formation, and behind him was a neat phalanx, with 10,000 people!

This is no ordinary fighter, this is obviously going to war!

Yuan Shao quietly observed for a while, and suddenly talked to Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others: "Is the old man's strategy wrong?" ”

More than a dozen people were naturally speechless, with the combat power that Lu Bu showed yesterday, who would dare to go up and fight him?

Cao Cao's expression was cold, and he kept thinking in his heart.

No matter what Yuan Shao calculated, he had to delay it for a few more days. What he has to do now is to preserve his strength as much as possible, even the strength of the coalition forces, and wait for the opportunity.

Yes, Cao Cao did not speak out against it.

And Liu Bei, Zhuge Xuan, Liu Miao and others were puzzled by the sudden strategy of 'luring the enemy into depth', but they couldn't find enough rebuttal points.

Seeing the fierce Lu Bu set up a formation, he suddenly had no other thoughts, and could only agree with Yuan Shao's strategy.

Seeing that no one objected, Yuan Shao held his sword, turned around and strode away.

The others immediately exchanged heads and whispered, still full of doubts and uneasiness about this strategy of 'luring the enemy into the depths'.

Liu Bei thought about it again and again, but still came to Cao Cao's side, left side by side with him, and said in a low voice: "General Cao, what can you see?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "Xuan Degong also sensed that something was wrong?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shao's back not far away, and said with a condensed gaze: "General Hou's behavior from yesterday to today is too direct, giving people the feeling of seeing a poor dagger." ”

Cao Cao pretended to be silent for a while, his eyes burned, and he said in an obscure tone: "Xuande Gong, please join me when necessary." ”

Liu Bei understood, looked at Yuan Shao again, and saw that he had already mounted his horse, and galloped away with a group of strategists and generals, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Cao Cao shook his head secretly, simply didn't say much, quickly broke away from Liu Bei, and caught up with Guo Jia, who was waiting not far away.

Guo Jia was slightly curious about Liu Bei and quietly observed.

Liu Bei and Liu Guanzhang converged, and the three of them summed up, took the soldiers and horses, caught up with Yuan Shao, passed by Cao Cao, and said loudly: "General Cao, wait in front." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Cao Cao raised his hand to respond, and when they walked away, his face was gloomy in an instant, and he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Yuan Shao has made a move!" ”

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said, "It's fast and direct, and most of the conspiracy is also very ruthless." ”

Cao Cao held his sword tightly, saw the army moving rapidly, and turned to the direction of the bottle and pot pass, his eyes were cold, and said: "The morale of the old thief Dong has been greatly boosted, and Yuan Shao is going to withdraw his troops again...... Bonghyo, do our plans need to change? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's too late." It would take three days to inform the Lieutenant Huangfu. ”

Cao Cao suddenly looked firm, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, then act according to the plan!" Yuan Shao wanted to retreat thirty miles, but I didn't meet his wishes, let's go south! ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The general has a good plan, let's be stationed by the lake, no matter what calculations he Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo have, after three days, the situation will change immediately!" ”

That's what Cao Cao thought, summoned a cadre of his subordinates, arranged it carefully, rode a horse, took his army of 40,000, and turned south.

This is completely separated from Yuan Shao, who retreated to the west, and it is extremely eye-catching and eye-catching.

"General Cao,"

Before Cao Jun had gone far, Sun Ce rode over and raised his hand and said, "The last general is about to obey orders." ”

Cao Cao just glanced at him, and Lang smiled: "With Bo Fu's help, Cao Cao is like a tiger with wings, and he is parallel to me." ”

"Don't dare." Sun Ce put down his hand and came to the back of Cao Cao.

And his 8,000 soldiers and horses quickly merged with Cao Cao's army.

Guo Jia drank wine and quietly observed Sun Ce.

This has always been an 'obscure' person, all kinds of meetings are in the corner, not speaking, not taking a stand, wandering on the edges.

This is a tiger that knows how to hide. Combined with Sun Ce's past, Guo Jia judged in his heart, and at the same time was vigilant.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce did not follow Yuan Shao's order and were responsible for breaking the rear, but retreated directly to the south, which turned Zhuge Xuan, Liu Xuan, Liu Bei and other middle roads into back roads.

Yuan Shao rode a horse and walked in front, his face was blue with anger, and he shouted: "Pass my military order, order Cao Cao to come and break the queen immediately, dare to disobey the order, and engage in military law!" ”

Behind Yuan Shao, Director Zhang, Gao Gan and others also looked bad, Cao Cao acted without authorization, slapped Yuan Shao in the face, and ruined their plans!

The herald went to deliver the order, glanced at Xu You and the others, stepped forward, and said obscurely: "General, has there been any change?" ”

Yuan Shao understood, and looked behind him, the army was full of heads.

"Not necessarily!" Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Cao Cao disobeyed in public, there is nothing to argue, and the old man is responsible for what he does!" ”

Xu You knew that Yuan Shao was hiding it from him, but when he heard his words, his heart suddenly jumped.

Yuan Shao, is this going to do something to Cao Cao?

Frustrated Zhu felt the murderous intent in Yuan Shao's words, and responded quietly, and then retreated.

And Liu Bei, Liu Xuan, Zhuge Xuan, Zang Hong and others who followed behind, where did they know what was going on, seeing that Cao Cao did not follow him, Liu Bei had to ask for his life and take the two brothers to break off.

And when the bottle and pot were closed, Lu Bu, who was in formation, was waiting for the coalition army, but he got the news that the coalition army had retreated.

He was stunned and stunned, then laughed and said, "Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the like, but that's it, Gao Shun, the whole army, follow me to pursue!" ”

Gao Shun was a little uneasy, and stepped forward and said, "Lord, the army of more than 200,000 people has retreated like this, will there be a conspiracy?" ”

Lu Bu rode a tall horse, his expression was full of pride, and he laughed and said, "Even if there is a trap, who can stop me Lu Fengxian?" ”

Before the words fell, he held a halberd in his hand, beat his horse and galloped, and chased after Yuan Shao.

There were not many soldiers and horses, only more than 2,000 cavalry, but under the leadership of Lu Bu, there was a grand momentum of 10,000 horses galloping.

"General, Lu Bu has caught up!" Yang Xiu, who had been observing, reported to Cao Cao as soon as he got the news.

Cao Cao and the others stopped their horses and came to a high place to look from afar.

Guo Jia drank wine, seemed to be a little unstable, shook a few times, and was pulled by Cao Cao, and then stood firmly.

"Thank you, General,"

Guo Jia took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "What Yuan Shao's plan is, I'll see it soon." ”

Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly said to Cao Ang on the side: "You prepare three thousand people, ready to be on call at any time." ”

Cao Ang was a treasure in Cao Cao's army, although he was quite heroic, but he rarely participated in dangerous battles, and when he heard his father's words, he was overjoyed and said: "The last general obeys orders!" ”

Then, he went to order troops in a hurry.

Cao Cao stared for a moment, then raised his head again.

"Bottle pot off...... Is it too quiet? Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he was full of doubts.

Guo Jia also looked suspicious and said: "It's really wrong, the general's strategy of going separately is right." ”

Cao Cao's expression gradually hardened, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Yuan Shao, who was on the other side, did not panic when he learned that Lu Bu had caught up, but just ordered to speed up.

Yuan Shao had been prepared for a long time, and the army moved quickly, but Liu Xuan, Liu Bei and others were already in the broken rear, and where to raise the speed, it was almost visible to the naked eye that they gradually distanced themselves from Yuan Shao's army.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, thunderous shouts erupted in the mountains and forests on both sides, followed by a rain of arrows.

Without waiting for the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to react, the mountains and forests shook, and countless Dong troops swarmed out.

"Trap!"

Liu Bei, Liu Miao and others were shocked, their faces full of panic.

Originally, Yuan Shao set up an ambush, why did Dong Zhuo have soldiers and horses to ambush here early?

Unable to allow them to think too much, Dong Jun killed from the left and right sides, and cut off the soldiers and horses of Liu Bei, Liu Xuan, Zhuge Xuan and others who were the so-called 'broken queen' and Yuan Shao's army.

In this situation, there was no way to stop effective resistance, not to mention, there was Lu Bu chasing after him.

"Big brother, what should I do?" Zhang Fei rode a horse, walked around in front of Liu Bei, and said in an urn.

Guan Yu glanced at the direction of Yuan Shao's army, saw that they were walking faster, and said coldly: "Big brother, most of it is the conspiracy of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, calculating us and waiting!" ”

Liu Bei couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao was calculating them, so he said hurriedly: "Second brother, third brother, hurry, lead the troops to break through, yes, send someone to invite General Cao again!" ”

Zhang Fei was trying his best to control the soldiers and horses, and scolded angrily when he heard it: "Big brother, haven't you seen it yet? That Yuan Shao calculated us, Cao Cao, in my opinion, is also an accomplice! ”

Liu Bei couldn't think clearly for a while, but the distance was not too far, and he said urgently: "Kill it first!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei protected Liu Bei, desperately rushing to kill, not only to resist Dong Zhuo's army, but also to avoid their own chaotic soldiers and horses.

And Liu Xuan, Zhuge Xuan and others are not good at leading troops, but now they are in a mess, and they can't see the figures.

"Kill!"

Not long after, Lu Bu came with cavalry, like an arrow from the string, sharp and incomparable, and smashed the 30,000 or 40,000 allied troops to pieces, like a lamb to be slaughtered, without the power to resist.

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Feixiu go, fight me again!"

Lu Bu was tall, and he noticed the three brothers who were trying to break through in the crowd of mixed wheels, roared, and rushed over.

Liu Bei had to be cautious and take care of his own people, but Lu Bu didn't care about it, he went on a rampage all the way, there were countless souls under the halberd, and there were few survivors under the horse's hooves.

Liu Guanzhang saw that Lu Bu had been killed, and finally killed him with the strength of nine bulls and two tigers.

The three brothers took the remnants of the army and fled straight to the west.

Lu Bu left behind the large army, with a dozen cavalry, and pursued closely.

Yuan Shao's army retreated far enough before he set up his troops and looked back.

Xu You stood next to Yuan Shao, his head bowed, his hands clasped together and hidden in his sleeves, his face was terrified, and his hands trembled.

He had already seen through Yuan Shao's plan - it was too vicious!

This is to give the four or five major armies to Dong Zhuo in vain!

This poisonous plan had many benefits, the most obvious being that it saved the grain and grass of the forty or fifty thousand army, and the second was that it also weakened the strength of the imperial court.

Now Yuan Shao's opponent is only Cao Cao!

'Yuan Shao, don't you have any intention of suppressing Dong at all? They have a vengeance against the clan! ’

Xu You's heart was cold, and his eyes flickered.

He was shocked by Yuan Shao's poisonous plan!

Xu Yu swept over, and saw that Fu Zhu, Zhang Dao, Gao Gan, Zhang He and others did not have much emotional change, knowing that these people were Yuan Shao's henchmen, and he was an outsider after all!

Frightened, Xu Yu had the idea of escaping for the first time.

Yuan Shao stood on a high place, looking at the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who refused to 'submit', and they were visibly slaughtered by Dong Zhuo with an indifferent expression, silently estimating the time.

"General, what about Cao Cao?" Director Zhang quietly walked behind Yuan Shao and said in a low voice.

Cao Cao did not obey Yuan Shao's orders, but instead led his army south, which broke through Yuan Shao's plan and escaped to ascend to heaven.

Cao Cao has an army of 40,000 in his hands, which should not be underestimated!

Yuan Shao turned his head to look in the direction of Cao Cao, sneered, and said: "It is said that Cao Cao is loyal and courageous, but now the imperial court soldiers and horses are in ambush, and Cao Cao is holding the troops and does not move forward, which shows that he has different intentions." Zhang Junshi, immediately write to the court and impeach this traitor! ”

Director Zhang instantly understood, and said loudly: "The subordinate officer receives the order!" ”

Xu You quietly raised his head, stared at Yuan Shao's side face, and said secretly in his heart: Cao Cao wants to save him, but isn't he afraid of being served by you?

Thinking of this, Xu Yu was excited, and his heart trembled: "Did Yuan Shao originally design Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others to merge with Dong Zhuo, and then destroy the soldiers and horses of the imperial court together with Dong Zhuo?" ’

Xu You has always been alert, but he is still dizzy at the moment.

Yuan Shao's move is too much calculation!

On the other side, Cao Cao was also looking at the battlefield, and when he saw this scene, his eyes immediately widened angrily, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he strode forward, shouting: "The traitor dares to hear, everyone follows me on the horse and punishes the thief with me!" ”

Guo Jia calmly took a sip of wine, and quietly gave Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan a look.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized, one hugged Cao Cao's waist from behind, and the other blocked Cao Cao's sword in front.

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "General, this is Yuan Shao's trap, don't go!" ”

Xiahou Yuan's voice was louder, and he said: "General, the last general suspects that this is a conspiracy between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, that is, to destroy the general, at this time, don't go!" ”

Cao Cao was angry and roared angrily: "Get out of the way!" Do you want me to sit back and watch the slaughter of tens of thousands of imperial armies? Get out of the way! ”

At this moment, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others also reacted, and they surrounded Cao Cao and persuaded them continuously.

Cao Cao couldn't move, his eyes were hideous, he was angry, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Yuan Shao is a traitor, Cao Cao and you don't share the sky!" ”

burst

As the words fell, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Cao Cao immediately fainted.

"General! Checkmate! ”

The crowd was in a hurry, and they all lifted Cao Cao up and yelled at the doctor.

Cao Cao was in chaos for a while, and then he was suppressed by Xiahoudun, and a group of people gathered outside the tent, worried.

In the big tent, Guo Jia sat on the edge of Cao Cao's bed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Yuan Shao's plan is really vicious. ”

Cao Cao lay on the bed, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were as cold as an abyss, and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think Yuan Shao will do in the future?" ”
