The next day, after Cao Cao laid out, he selected 5,000 elite soldiers and prepared to lead the encirclement and suppression of Wuchao in person, but was stopped by Zhang Liao and said: "Prime Minister, that Wuchao is the land of grain and grass in Yuan Shaotun, how can there be no heavy guards, I am afraid that Xu Yu is deceitful, how can the prime minister be a body of ten thousand gold, how can he take this risk." ”"Wen Yuan rest assured, this time Xu You came to our army alone, and Yuan Shao was defeated, this person is my old acquaintance, I know him very well, and it is definitely true to offer this strategy.Now that our army is short of food and grass, it is difficult to last, if we don't use this plan, I am afraid that we will only sit and wait for death, it is better to take a risk.If you are willing to lie to me, how can you be willing to stay in our army, this strategy of breaking the grain and grass is imperative, and you don't have to worry too much. ”Zhang Liao was still uneasy and said: "The prime minister insists on this, and he also needs to prevent Yuan Shao from taking advantage of it." ”"I'm ready, you can rest assured."
It turned out that Cao Cao had already made arrangements, and Xun You, Cao Hong, Xu You and others guarded Dazhai.Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan received an ambush on the left, Cao Ren and Li Dian led an army to guard on the right side to be prepared, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were in front, and Xu Huang and Yu Ban were behind.Cao Cao led a few people, a total of 5,000 people, all under the banner of Yuan's army, and went straight to the black nest at dusk.Cao Cao led 5,000 cavalry generals all the way to Wuchao, during which he passed by several outposts, and when the sentinels asked, Cao Cao always sent someone to answer that it was Yuan Shao's subordinate Jiang Qi who was ordered to protect 10,000 Wuchao grain.Seeing that it was the banner of his own family again, those Yuan Jun did not have any doubts, and all of them were released.When it arrived at the black nest, it was already close to the third watch, and this was when people were dazed, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers to run directly to the surrounding grain and grass to light the fire, and the soldiers instantly scattered around and began to ignite.Let's say that the defender of Wuchao Chun Yuqiong, when he drank wine with the soldiers not long after, drunk and drunk, originally sleeping fragrantly, suddenly the drums outside shook the sky, and the wine suddenly woke up most of the time, and hurriedly jumped up and asked: "Why is it so noisy outside" But before anyone could answer, the camp tent was turned over with a hook and covered it.Before, two soldiers of the Yuan army, Yuan Jin and Zhao Rong, had just returned from transporting grain, and when they saw the fire on the tun, they hurriedly rescued, but they were killed by Cao Jun, and the grain and grass were burned together, and the Yuan soldiers around them dispersed in a hurry, and the drunken Chun Yudao was also captured.Cao Cao ordered someone to cut off his ears, nose, and fingers and tie them to the horse, and put them back in the Yuan Shao military camp to prepare for humiliation, and then Cao Cao led the rest of the soldiers to prepare to return to the military camp.Yuan Shao was resting in the military tent, and suddenly a soldier came to report that the fire was rising in the direction of Wuchao in the north, and he was afraid that he would attract the enemy to invade.Suddenly, a general stepped forward: "Lord, Zhang Jaw is willing to go to save him." ”As soon as Zhang Jaw's voice fell, Guo Tu got up and said: "This move is not appropriate, Cao Jun robbed the grain and grass this time, Cao Cao must go in person, Cao Cao personally dispatched, and the rear camp must be empty."
A soldier can be sent to attack Cao's army camp, and Cao Cao learned that he must return at full speed, which is Sun Bin's strategy to surround Wei and save Han. ”Zhang Jaw hurriedly dissuaded: "The military advisor can't, Cao Cao is resourceful, how can he not send heavy troops to guard the military camp to prevent future troubles, if our army dares to attack its camp today, if it can't be taken, the loss will be heavy." ”"Hmph, Cao Cao only cares about robbing grain and grass, how can he leave soldiers in the camp."
Guo Tu said, and repeatedly asked Yuan Shao to order a sneak attack on Cao Ying.Yuan Shao's opinion was unstable, so he had to obey Guo Tu's plan and sent Zhang Jaw and other generals to lead 5,000 troops to attack Cao's camp tent, and Jiang Qi led 10,000 troops to rescue Wuchao.I didn't want Cao Cao to intercept Wuchao and return to meet the real Jiang Qi's military horses on the way, in the face of Jiang Qi's inquiry, Cao Cao falsely claimed to be the defenders of Wuchao, only because of the defeat and fled.Jiang Qi was convinced, drove his horse up, and just walked in front of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, he was slashed by Zhang Liao's fast hand under the horse, and all his subordinates were also killed.Poor Jiang Qi hung up like this, and he didn't understand what was going on until he died.Besides, Zhang Jaw led the troops to prepare to attack the Cao army's camp tent, and just when he reached the vicinity of the camp tent, suddenly two people came out on the left and right, and the one on the left was the Cao army general Xiahoudun, and the one on the right was Cao Ren.Just when Zhang Jaw was stunned, suddenly another army rushed out of the middle road, and it was Cao Hong who led the army, and the three armies came out together, murderous, and instantly crushed the momentum of the Yuan army, and the five thousand soldiers and horses were killed without any effort.Just about to retreat, who knew that Cao Cao was leading his men and horses to kill from behind, besieging from all sides, Yuan Shao's army was destroyed in an instant, Zhang Jaw and other generals desperately fought their way out of a bloody way.That Chun Yuqiong was tied to a horse and sent all the way back, and when he arrived in the camp, he was seen clearly by Yuan Shao, and after learning the reason, Yuan Shao was furious, and the celebrity beheaded him.At this time, Guo Tu had already heard that his plan had failed, and he was worried that Zhang Jaw and others would prove their rights and wrongs after returning to the camp, so he ruthlessly framed him in front of Yuan Shao, slandered Zhang Jaw and others for deliberately fleeing, and planned to surrender to Cao Cao.How do you know that Yuan Shao has failed and been frustrated many times, and he has already fainted, so he actually believed Guo Tu's words, and immediately sent someone to pursue Zhang Jaw, preparing to arrest him for questioning, but Guo Tu quietly pulled down the chase order for that person, and ordered him to kill Zhang Jaw immediately after seeing it.Where is the poor messenger Zhang Jaw and other fierce generals' opponents, in the face of the envoy's questioning, Zhang Jaw around the soldiers to understand it, even if Zhang Jaw surrendered to Cao Cao together, Zhang Jaw did not expect that the master he had been following would listen to the slander, the enemy wanted to kill himself at the moment, immediately angry, led the headquarters of the men and horses straight to Cao Ying to surrender.Knowing that Zhang Jaw was coming, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and personally opened the city gate to greet him: "If Yuan Shaoken obeys the night of the general, it must be me Cao Mengde, and today the general stoops down to me, such as Weizi goes to Yin, Han Xin returns to Han, and I will make you a partial general and the Marquis of Duting." ”In the face of this high-ranking official, Zhang Jaw was immediately overjoyed and swore allegiance to Cao Cao, and the last general of the Hebei Fourth Court under the command of poor Yuan Shao also left him, and the traces of defeat gradually surfaced on the surface.Yuan Shao lost most of the cities in Qingzhou and Jizhou in a row, and successively lost Tian Feng, Xin Bi, Xu You, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw and other famous ministers and soldiers, and now he has lost a large number of soldiers and horses and Wuchao grain and grass, and the whole people are panicked.After Cao Cao's big victory, Xu You's popularity in Cao's camp instantly doubled, and Cao Cao was also praised to the extreme, Xu You enjoyed this treatment very much, and hurriedly persuaded Cao Cao again to quickly send troops to pursue Yuan Shao.Cao Cao then sent troops to intercept Yuan Shao's camp in three ways, and Yuan Shao lost most of his soldiers and horses in this battle, but Yuan Shao had not yet been assembled, and Xun Yu offered a plan to attack Yuan's army with the help of Zhao Yu's momentum.In an instant, there was a message from Cao's camp that Zhao Yu's Youzhou soldiers and horses occupied Jizhou after occupying Qingzhou, and now they almost wanted to march from behind Yuan's army, and the two armies jointly attacked Yuan's army.As soon as Cao Cao learned that Yuan Shao's men and horses were scattered, he immediately went out with eight men and horses, and killed Yuan Shao so that he could not form an army, killing more than tens of thousands of people, and finally only more than 800 horsemen escaped with Yuan Shao and others.Because the general trend has gone, Qingzhou is lost, only a few cities in Jizhou remain, and the rest are all conquered by Zhao Yu.Let's say that as soon as Yuan Shao left, a group of men and horses galloped away from Yuan Shao's military camp on light horses, and the direction of the entourage was the territory of Jizhou, and there were only four people in this Biao, but the clothes of these four people were completely different.The rider on the left has a face like a beautiful jade, sword eyebrows, lips like painted Zhu, wearing a Suluo robe, white cloud satin crotch trousers, colorful tiger head combat boots, dressed in silver, handsome and chic; The rider on the right has a resolute face, a beautiful beard and sideburns, a pair of strong arms like ape arms, and a crimson armor, majestic and mighty; The rider in the back is even more distinctive, dressed in brocade clothes, with a bird feather tied on his head, a crimson bird feather inserted above, a mountain opening knife on his back, and a little barb in the front of the knife, like a tiger's sharp teeth, just looking at it is chilling, and there is always a rogue smile on his face, which makes people feel cold.These three people are undoubtedly Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Gan Ning, but what is strange is why the three generals around Zhao Yu came to this place where Cao and Yuan fought.In addition to these three people, who is the fourth horse, that is, the person riding the horse in the middle, judging from his appearance and appearance, should belong to the civil official, and this person is obviously not the person next to Zhao Yu."
Sir, it's safe to run a distance, and now Yecheng is owned by my lord.Our army only drove away Yuan Shao's remnants when they came to the city, and did not move the people of Jizhou to a single penny, and even some officials in Jizhou still retained their original posts.As soon as I heard the news of my husband, my lord immediately sent the three of us to tell them to protect my husband's integrity. ”The three of them escorted them all the way and dispersed with the fleeing Yuan soldiers without encountering any obstacles."
Hey, I really didn't expect that what I have been pursuing for many years is a mediocre master, which is really the regret of my life."
That's right, the one who rode in the middle was Yuan Shao's important adviser in Jizhou, who was sent to prison because of Yuan Shao's self-esteem damaged by his loyal ministers.Yuan Shao fled in a hurry after the defeat of Cao Cao, so he left behind the people who were imprisoned in the barracks, and Zhao Yu's first task after capturing Yecheng was to send someone to secretly go to Yuan Shao's military camp to rescue a man named Fu Zhi.When Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Gao Lan, and Xin Bi were surprised when they learned the news, they couldn't help but ask: "Why did the lord take such a big risk to go to Yuan Shao's military camp to find the frustration award" I don't want Zhao Yu said lightly: "The talent of the frustration is not inferior to you, who is familiar with the art of war, knows astronomy, and loyalty is rare in the world."
If I can let this person who is loyal and righteous and talented go unchecked, it is really against my conscience, I am too upright, and Yuan Shao is narrow-minded, so it is inevitable that he will be imprisoned.If I let it go, it will be hard to sleep. ”In order to ensure the smooth operation of the rescue mission, Zhao Yu specially sent three super generals to carry out this mission together
