Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #143 - Chapter 143

Even if Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were brave enough to lose their mounts, half of their strength would be wasted.

Surrounded by 80,000 troops, he struggled for a long time but could not break out. Finally, he was captured by Yuan’s army due to exhaustion.

Lu Xiang, on Yuan Shao’s order, asked Qian Zhao to lead his men to pursue the 30,000 mutinous Huainan Army. At the same time, he joined Wen Chou, Zhang He and others to encircle and suppress Cao Ang’s troops.

Lu Xiang led his own troops and escorted Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, who were tied up by Wuhua Da, to Yuan Shao’s Chinese army tent.

“My lord, there is no doubt that Liu Bei is a spy!

When my brother and I first arrived, Liu Bei pretended to invite us to come forward to talk, but he secretly made someone shoot him down!

My brother was accidentally killed by a hidden arrow!

Moreover, Liu Bei’s brother Zhang Fei charged into our army again and killed two to three hundred soldiers in a row!

Liu Bei’s 30,000 soldiers and horses also mutinied on the battlefield and wanted to protect Liu Bei from breaking out.

However, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were unable to break through and were surrounded by me and General Qianzhao. After hundreds of casualties, we captured the two of them!

He was engaged in Sun Qian under Liu Bei and died in the rebellion!”

After Lu Xiang saw Yuan Shao, he gnashed his teeth and discussed Liu Bei’s crimes.

In fact, if he calmed down, Lu Xiang would realize that something was wrong, but his brother died, and Lu Xiang himself was shot by Zhang Fei. He was almost killed.

Therefore, in anger, he focused all his hatred on Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

However, Yuan Shao was already suspicious of Liu Bei because of the burning of food and grass. At this moment, after listening to Lu Xiang’s words, He even believed that Liu Bei was a spy of Cao Jun, and immediately became furious and said:”You Liu Bei! I thought you were a clan member of the Han Dynasty and an uncle of the Emperor, so I kindly took you in!

But I didn’t expect that you would actually help the tyrants to commit evil, and help the Cao family and his son to deceive me!

I accidentally fell into Cao Angsheng’s plan to attack the east and attack the west!

Chaoge had more than 3 million stones of food stored in him, but Cao Ang attacked them and burned them all!

I wish I could eat your flesh, sleep on your skin, and tear you into pieces!

Liu Bei learned from Yuan Shao’s words that Cao Ang’s purpose was to burn Yuan Shao to store grain. His pupils trembled, and he finally understood Cao Ang’s plan!

So Liu Bei hurriedly explained:”Ming Gong misunderstood!” I was also deceived by that Cao Ang!

It seems that Cao Ang had already noticed that I secretly voted for Ming Gong, so he used my hand to make Ming Gong fall into the trap.

As for the death of General Lu Kuang, it was because those 30,000 soldiers and horses were all placed as confidants by Cao Ang, and they suddenly mutinied and were beyond my control.

The cold arrow was also shot by Cao Ang’s spies. The truth has nothing to do with me! Yuan

Shao did not listen to Liu Bei’s explanation:”Liu Xuande, at this time, do you still want to deceive me?”

Now that you know that Cao Ang has placed confidants in the army, why did you say at the beginning that you would kidnap 30,000 Cao’s troops to control them all?”

After that, Yuan Shao was eager to lead his army to attack Cao Cao’s main force. Without saying much to Liu Bei, he waved his hand and said,”Push it out and kill him!””

Liu Bei suddenly became anxious. He just surrendered and did not commit suicide immediately. He was hoping to explain to Yuan Shao face to face.

Now Yuan Shao does not listen to the explanation and directly wants to kill him. How can Liu Bei be willing to do so?

“Ming Gong, please calm down. I was really wronged. Ming Gong, please don’t kill a good person unjustly!

Seeing that Yuan Shao was unmoved, Liu Bei looked around the tent again and cried with tears in his eyes:”Hebei is so big, but among the Gongun princes, no one dares to avenge Bei in front of Duke Ming?”

How lonely you are!”

His voice was sad and his words were desolate…

But after Liu Bei finished speaking, there was still silence in the tent.

No one said a word for Liu Bei.

If Tian Feng Jushou was still in the tent, he might even defend Liu Bei. , to unite all the forces that can be united with Yuan Shao. Although Liu Bei has no soldiers and horses, his younger brother Zhang Fei is a fierce general, and his second brother Guan Yu also leads an army of 40,000 in Xudu, but at this moment Tian Feng Jushou can instigate rebellion.

But they were not there. Together with Xu You, they were all imprisoned by Yuan Shao.

Even the knowledgeable general Zhang He and Gao Lan were not there. Only Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others were in the tent. At this moment, people were afraid that Yuan Shao would hold them accountable for their unfavorable plans. Seeing that Liu Bei would take the blame and bear Yuan Shao’s wrath, it was too late to rejoice in the misfortune. How could he intercede for Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao had already identified Liu Bei as Cao Ang’s spy, let alone Liu Bei’s words ? Impressed.

So, in Yuan Shao’s livid silence, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were pushed out of the tent.

“Yuan Shao! You old dog, you are blind and blind, and you killed a good person by mistake!”

Seeing that Yuan Shao insisted on killing Liu Bei and himself, Zhang Fei suddenly couldn’t hold on to his anger anymore. While being pushed out, he jumped and cursed. After

Zhang Fei cursed, Yuan Shao suddenly became even more angry:”Push out, quickly Push it out!

After the owl’s head, the heads of the two men were hung high above the gate of the camp for public display..！”

At this moment, Liu Bei was completely desperate. Looking south in the direction of Cao Ying, he felt resentful and regretful.

He was angry because he was tricked too hard by Cao Ang. Not only did he use Liu Bei’s hand to scheme against Yuan Shao’s military rations, but he also used Yuan Shao’s hand to get rid of Liu Bei… it was a plan that killed two birds with one stone!

I regret because I didn’t see Cao Ang’s plan earlier, so I was used as a knife by Cao Ang, and in the end I was killed by Cao Ang with a knife.……

“well! What a shame that before the great cause was accomplished, he died first!

Cao Zixiu, Cao Zixiu, in these troubled times, when all the heroes are rising together, why did God give birth to you, a person like you who can crush all the heroes?……”

In the endless emotions of resentment, remorse and regret, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were beheaded by Yuan Jun’s sword and axe, and their heads were hung on the camp gate.

A generation of heroes has come to an end…

At the same time, thirty miles northeast of Yuan Jun’s camp,

“Negative energy from Liu Bei +999”

“Negative energy from Liu Bei +999”

“from Liu Bei……”

A series of prompts sounded in Cao Ang’s mind.

In fact, Cao Ang received so many reminders today that he was almost numb.

Because Yuan Shaojun and his ministers learned that Chaoge had lost all their food and grass,���After realizing that Cao Ang had plotted against him, the negative energy was continuously refreshed for a long time, reaching a million points.

Including the previous balance, there are already more than 1.8 million points.

But at this moment, Cao Ang felt something in his heart.

Because this time the source of negative energy is Liu Bei!

And every stroke is the current highest value of 999, which is enough to show the gravity of Liu Bei’s resentment towards Cao Ang at this moment!

This also shows that Liu Bei was afraid that he had met the ending that Cao Ang had prepared for him, so he was so resentful.

Sure enough, when Cao Ang thought of this, a series of prompts stopped abruptly and then stopped refreshing.

In just this moment, Liu Bei alone contributed more than 500,000 negative energy… which can be regarded as the last thoughts left by this old rival of the Cao family and his son.

And Cao Ang’s negative energy also exceeded two million, reaching 2.4 million.

Cao Ang had a thought in his mind and started another stud game.

“Congratulations to the host, you have obtained one hundred tons of copper veins!”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining one hundred members of the Imperial Guard!”

“Congratulations to the host, you have obtained one hundred sets of Xuanjia!”

On the system panel, rewards are emerging one after another, most of which have appeared before.

But there are also new rewards appearing:”Congratulations to the host, you have obtained one hundred repeating crossbows!”

Same as last time, after the three previous rewards, a new reward appeared.

The system is as user-friendly as ever, and the new reward given is what Cao Ang needs at this time.

One hundred consecutive crossbows!

According to the system introduction, these repeating crossbows are based on Zhuge’s repeating crossbows and have been improved and strengthened by the system.

Each crossbow can hold twenty short arrows at a time, which means that it can be loaded with two arrows in a row. Ten times!

Moreover, the system comes with a hundred short arrows as an initial gift, which can be filled into the quiver five times.

A total of six times, that is, 600 consecutive crossbows and 60,000 short arrows! The number of pulses, Jin Yiwei, and Xuanjia were all six hundred, and the proportions were very even. With a thought, Cao Ang revealed six hundred Jinyiwei, six hundred sets of Xuanjia, and six hundred continuous crossbows.

He did not appear directly in front of the eight thousand cavalry and more than ten thousand surrendered troops, but appeared in the distance out of sight.

Then he ordered six hundred Jinyi guards to take Xuanjia and Liannu from the direction of Chenliu in the southeast of the battlefield. Arriving, he acted as if Cao Ang had already made arrangements.

After the six hundred Jinyi guards arrived, Cao Ang immediately ordered six hundred strong men from the hussars and light cavalry, and gave them six hundred sets of brand new black armor. Divided them among them.

In this way, Cao Ang’s heavy armored cavalry would have 1,400 cavalry!

In the era of cold weapons when hundreds of heavy cavalry could sweep across the battlefield, even in the face of hundreds of heavy cavalry, The 100,000-strong army was not afraid at all!

The 600 continuous crossbows were temporarily controlled by the 600 Jin Yiwei as temporary crossbowmen.

Cao Ang led his troops forward for less than three miles when he suddenly ordered the entire army to stop.

At this moment, he led 8,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 prisoners, escorting nearly 50,000 stones of grain and grass, and 50,000 troops led by Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Gao Shun. Cao Jun’s troops were still more than ten miles away, and they would be able to catch up in less than half an hour.

However, a large army came over from the direction of Yuan Jun’s camp and stopped them. Cao Ang headed south under the banner of General Wen Chou of Hebei, and on the left and right were the banners of Zhang He and Gao Lan.

Except for Yan Liang, who had been killed by Zhang Liao’s formation, almost all the remaining three generals of the Four Courts of Hebei were. Everyone is here!

“After all, Yuan Shao still had some blood, but after his retreat was cut off, he began to act decisively.……”

The corners of Cao Ang’s lips were slightly raised, and when he saw Wen Chou and Zhang He Gao Lan leading 130,000 Jizhou elites to kill him, there was no fear on his face, but a smile on his face.

Just in time!

The reason why Cao Ang gave up the mobility of his cavalry and escorted the grain and grass with the surrendered soldiers, and detoured from the Yuan Army’s camp, was precisely to attract Yuan Army to leave the camp and attack on his own initiative!

Otherwise, Cao’s army is not very short of food and grass. There is no need for Cao Ang to give up the mobility of his elite cavalry for fifty thousand stones of food and grass.

While Wen Chou, Zhang He and other hundreds of thousands of troops were approaching with great force, Cao Ang ordered more than 10,000 surrender troops to form a circle with more than a thousand carts of grain and grass, and surround the surrender troops in the middle.

The eight thousand fine cavalry unloaded all the food and grass on their horses and prepared for battle.

Among them, 1,400 cavalrymen leisurely began to put on heavy black armor, preparing to charge into the battle as heavy cavalry.

“kill!”[]

From the sky, there were shouts of killing.

It was not that Cao Ang’s eight thousand cavalry engaged Wen Chou and Zhang He’s 130,000 troops, but more than ten miles to the south, Cao Ang’s 50,000 elite troops, who were ordered to come to meet Cao Ang, fought first with the 100,000 Bingzhou troops led by Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou. On.

It was on Yuan Shao’s order that Gao Gan led the combined state army to block Cao’s responding troops, giving Wen Chou, Zhang He and others time to annihilate Cao Ang first.

However, as soon as the battle started, Gao Gan’s face turned extremely ugly.

Although his Bingzhou army is not weak in combat effectiveness, there are thousands of Bingzhou flying cavalry among them.

Facing 50,000 Cao troops, with a ratio of two to one, they should have had the advantage.

But the fact is that the Bingzhou Army suffered a loss as soon as they fought!

Among the 50,000 Cao troops, there were 1,000 heavily armored soldiers, 25,000 tiger warrior infantry, and 24,000 Qingzhou soldiers under Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin!

One thousand of them were trapped in the camp, lined up in heavy armor, fighting head-on, and very restrained the light cavalry!

As for the high-ranking Bingzhou flying cavalry, they are mainly light cavalry.

Therefore, as soon as there was a battle, they suffered a loss at the hands of the trapped camp.

The Hujie Army under the supervision of Gao Shun was also formed by Cao Ang after the Battle of Pengcheng. It was based on the 3,000 elite infantry he brought to Xiaopei as the core, and then selected and supplemented by elites from 200,000 troops.

After Cao Ang’s personal training and training, and following Cao Ang’s campaign against Yuan Shu in Huainan, he developed a truly elite soldier.

The rest of the Qingzhou soldiers led by Xiahou Dun Yujin were originally Cao Cao’s strong soldiers selected from ten out of the 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Later, they followed Cao Cao in his expeditions south and north.���, the foundation is deeper than Hu Jiejun.

Moreover, when Xu Du was training his troops, he was personally trained by Cao Ang, which improved his combat effectiveness.

Such 50,000 elite soldiers have a very powerful fighting capacity, and their morale is even higher.

Using the heavily armored camp to clear the way, and using the Hujie Army and Qingzhou Soldiers as the left and right wings to sweep the formation, they had the upper hand in the face of the 100,000 Bingzhou infantry and cavalry of high-ranking officials!

The suppressed front army stopped and retreated.

This made the senior officer break out in a cold sweat!

Fifty thousand Cao Jun has such pressure. If Cao Jun sends out 100,000 strong soldiers, wouldn’t his Bingzhou Army collapse at the first touch?

And just when Gao Gan and Gao Shun Yu banned 150,000 troops from Xia Houdun, they lined up to fight.

In the north, Cao Ang’s location was also in separate formations with the 130,000 troops led by Wen Chou and Zhang He Gao Lan.

However, although Yuan’s army was large in number, they did not attack fiercely when they came up. Instead, they formed back-to-back formations with Gao Gan’s Bingzhou Army to block the south and east sides.

To the north is the Yellow River, and to the west is the Yuan Army’s camp. Yuan Shao’s general Qian Zhao is leading an army of 70,000 people, chasing the 30,000 mutinous Huainan Army.

At that time, an army of 200,000 will surround Cao Ang with 8,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

It’s not that Wen Chou and Zhang He deliberately let the 30,000 Cao troops join Cao Ang, but because this was a helpless move.

The mutiny of the 30,000 Cao troops was too sudden, and Qianzhao did not have time to intercept it, so he had to chase after him.

If Wen Chou and Zhang He divided their forces to intercept the 30,000 Cao troops, once Cao Ang attacked in that direction, the separated troops would be attacked from two sides and defeated by Cao Ang first.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, they could only release the 30,000 Cao troops to join forces with Cao Ang, and then encircle them in the middle without having to bear the risk of being attacked from both sides.

While waiting for Li’s death, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Yan Liang had also reinforced their military formations and set up antler fences to block the cavalry.

The horse-tripping ropes and horse-repelling spears originally planned to be used to ambush Cao Ang’s night attack were also placed in the front army.

Zhang He’s most elite heavy armored infantry, the Euphorbias, were all wearing armor and holding halberds, and were ready to block Cao’s army’s elite cavalry from charging into the formation.

Such a lineup can be said to be ready.

Cao Ang’s eyes were bright, he was holding the Overlord Spear, sitting upright on his Wuzui horse, looking at Yuan Jun’s layered military formations at leisure, and he was ready for a big battle.

He used Liu Bei’s help to trick Yuan Shao into a trap, and then attacked Chaoge’s grain and grass, cutting off the lifeline of Yuan Shao’s army.

He also used Yuan Shao’s help to kill Liu Bei, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Yuan Shao’s army in the middle road still had an actual army of 500,000 to 600,000 troops, and the total strength of Cao’s army on the battlefield in the middle road, including the 30,000 Huainan army who had mutinied and returned, was only 350,000.

As for Guan Yu and Le, Liang Gang’s 40,000 soldiers and horses who returned to aid Xu Du can be transferred back after Liu Bei was killed by Yuan Shao.

But even if we add the 40,000 troops and horses, it is only 390,000.

Nearly 200,000 less than Yuan Shaojun.

Before Yuan Shao is defeated due to running out of food and grass, he still needs to fight a real battle!

In a real decisive battle between large armies, the role of strategy is already very small.

We still have to fight hard!

There are no shortcuts.

Not long after, the 30,000 Huainan troops, pursued by 70,000 Yuan troops, came to Cao Ang’s side.

Cao Ang directly asked Le Jin, who had made an outstanding contribution in the Battle of Chaoge, to command these 30,000 troops.

Le Jin is one of the five great generals of Cao Wei in history. He is the only general of Cao Wei who was born as a low-level soldier and rose up by being the first to capture the enemy!

Before the Battle of Chaoge, Le Jin was only a mid-level and lower-ranking officer under Cao Cao.

Cao Ang could not attack the city if he only brought cavalry, so he asked Cao Cao for Le Jin and more than a hundred warriors who were trapped in the formation to accompany the army to attack.

Le Jin lived up to his high expectations, and indeed achieved the first success in defeating Chao Ge. He boarded the city first and forced Chun Yuqiong to mobilize troops to suppress it, which gave Jin Yiwei Neiying the opportunity to seize the west gate..
