Chapter 275: Luring the Enemy

Listening to Xiahou Jie's words, Cao Cao and the others were stunned for a moment.

Chen Zhougang said that Yuan Shao would fight Yanjin next, and it didn't take long for him to call after he finished speaking, and this time the fulfillment came too quickly.

"How far is Wen Chou from the White Horse?"

Cao Cao immediately asked.

Xia Houjie said: "Wen Chou's surprise attack came very suddenly and quickly, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach Baima in the afternoon." ”

"Lord, I have a plan!"

Guo Jia got up as he said and said his thoughts.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he directly followed Guo Jia's plan.

——

When Yuan Shao got the news that Yan Liang was killed, he was stunned.

As one of his subordinates, one of the rare and powerful generals, he was killed like this, subverting his perception of Yan Liang's strength.

After staying, Yuan Shao was furious again.

"Cao Apu, you still dare to kill my generals?"

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Who wants to cross the river again and kill that eunuch for me?" ”

Wen Chou and Yan Liang's private relationship is still good, when he heard that Yan Liang was killed, he was suddenly furious in his heart, and after listening to Yuan Shao's words, he directly expressed his willingness to cross the river, kill Cao Cao, and avenge Yan Liang.

So, the strategists of Yuan Shao's subordinates discussed a strategy, using the raid on Yanjin as a breakthrough, and then killing Baima, taking Cao Cao by surprise.

The plan seemed to be very successful, and Yanjin was easily attacked by Wen Chou, but at this time, Yanjin City was an empty city, which made Wen Chou feel very unhappy.

Cao Cao left an empty city, indicating that he didn't want to defend Yanjin anymore, maybe he didn't even want a white horse.

He was also worried that if he went to Baima now, he might not be able to meet Cao Cao, which would not be in line with their original plan, so he had now, speeding up and killing Baima.

It was all a hurried march.

Wen Chou desperately wanted to kill Cao Cao, avenge Yan Liang, create momentum for the Hebei army, and consolidate the morale of the army.

"General!"

At this time, the scout in front ran back and shouted: "The Cao army found that our army was killing Baima, and sent scouts to reconnoiter us, and the Cao army stationed in Baima was retreating in a hurry, and I saw that among the retreating troops, there was a large banner of the Chinese army Cao Zi, and Cao Cao should also be among them." ”

Hearing that Cao Cao was still there, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Wen Chou's eyes.

"In which direction is the Cao army retreating?"

"How many of them are there now?"

Whether you can kill Cao Cao or not depends on this time.

"Retreating to the south, it seems that the number of people is only a few thousand, not very many."

"According to our inquiry, Cao Cao is ready to abandon Yanjin and Baima and retreat to Guandu in the south, where the people have been moved by him, leaving only the empty city."

"The main force of the Cao army should be used to migrate the people."

"There aren't many people who stay in Hakuba."

The scout replied.

According to their recent reconnaissance, it is.

Cao Cao's intention to migrate the people, the intention of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness is obvious, and he has done it very openly and honestly, and he has never concealed it.

More than 20,000 people crossed the river with Wenchou.

Cao Cao is now fleeing south with thousands of people, and when Wen Chou heard it, he felt that the opportunity for revenge was coming, and urged: "The whole army listens to the order, chase after the Cao army that fled south, and speed up for me!" ”

It seemed that he felt that it was not fast enough to chase him directly, so he even arranged a vanguard of 3,000 people to leave the team in advance and stop Cao Jun as quickly as possible.

After catching up with and stopping Cao Jun, try to fight as much as possible, wait for his main force to catch up, and destroy Cao Jun in one fell swoop.

Three thousand vanguard troops, quickly left the team to chase after them.

The main force led by Wen Chou did not slow down and hurried at full speed.

——

Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's plan and did leave Baima and go back in the direction of Guandu in the south.

At the same time as evacuating, Cao Jun scouted and kept inquiring about the progress of Wen Chou's pursuit.

"Wen Chou sent three thousand pioneers to intercept us."

Cao Cao soon received news from the scouts and asked, "What do you think I should do?" ”

Jia Xu said: "According to Fengxiao's plan, pretend to be invincible, flee in another direction, and lure the enemy deeper." ”

"Which direction?"

Cao Cao asked.

Jia Xu raised his hand, pointed to the southeast, and said: "Here, according to the information of the scouts, there is a dirt slope there, which can be defended temporarily, and we can lead Wen Chou to that side, and we can implement Fengxiao's plan." ”

Cao Cao asked the scout again, making sure that there was really a dirt slope over there that could be defended, and as Jia Xu said, Guo Jia's plan could continue.

"Let's go!"

Cao Cao ordered.

However, the speed of their withdrawal this time was not very fast, and they deliberately waited for the three thousand pioneers to follow.

Cao Jun and Yuan Jun vanguards fought for a while, pretending to be invincible and not winning each other, and had to be defeated, three thousand vanguards chased and intercepted, and the two sides pulled for almost half an hour, and Wen Chou's main force finally followed.

"Lord, the plan is done!"

Guo Jia saw Wen Chou coming up, and hurriedly said: "You can follow what Wen He said, evacuate to the dirt slope, and then destroy Wen Chou." ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked back to the west, and shouted, "Evacuate to the southeast, and while evacuating, discard our grain baggage." ”

After the order was passed down, the whole army was integrated, and as they went, they threw things onto the road, such as food, armor, weapons, etc., all on the road.

gives people a feeling that Cao Jun learned that Wen Chou was killed, and abandoned his armor and fled.

The feeling of running away is chaos again.

Cao Cao even let people drag the branches and raise smoke and dust, which made it even more chaotic, and when he was about to reach the dirt slope, he said: "Military horses, etc., all discarded, don't want it!" ”

The soldiers in the army, following the order, let go of the few military horses.

They walked up the dirt slope in confusion.

In the rear, Wen Chou chased very closely.

Cao Cao wanted to give Wen Chou the illusion that he was being chased very tightly and had to walk up the dirt slope to avoid the defense.

Wen Chou chased all the way, and when he saw Cao Jun so chaotic, his confidence swelled, and he only thought that he had come too suddenly, and he really caught Cao Cao off guard.

At this time, Cao Cao, abandoning his armor and dragging his troops, could only escape, and thousands of troops did not dare to confront him at all.

"Keep chasing!"

Wen Chou shouted.

Soon they came to the place where Cao Jun had discarded grain, grass, and armor.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, when they saw those things, their eyes lit up.

They are soldiers just to eat, in order to be alive, the food discarded by the Cao army can fill their stomachs, and the discarded armor can save their lives.

And weapons.

One more weapon, when you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you have more confidence.

The more you go to the back, you can even see that there are still some property discarded by Cao Jun on the ground.

At first, Wen Chou passed down a military order not to pick up anything for them, but the temptation was too great, and not many people could resist the temptation of those things.

Soon someone picked up things at the beginning, and when others saw it, they could fall behind, and Cao Jun discarded things, he couldn't let others pick them up, and he didn't have anything.

Yuan Jun, who was quite tidy just now, was in chaos in an instant, scrambling to pick up the food, property and other things discarded by Cao Jun.

After all, human nature is greedy.

"Military horses, there are horses ahead!"

The soldiers, who walked in front, shouted excitedly.

Before the cry fell, they looked into the eyes of the military horses, and a greedy light appeared, and they rushed forward to snatch them.

Snatched a horse back, and they won't have to worry about it for years to come.
