Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #149 - Chapter 149
Xu You is a wild and uninhibited person, in other words, he speaks freely and always expresses his pleasure.
At this moment, when he saw Cao Ang attacking Yuan Shao’s camp, he did not sigh in pain like Ju Shou Tian Feng, but smiled wantonly.
For Yuan Shao, Xu You also tried his best to make suggestions. However, Yuan Shao was scheming, suspicious and hesitant, and he suddenly perished.
He also believed the slander and imprisoned Xu You and three others.
From that moment on, Xu You was completely disappointed with Yuan Shao.
Cao Ang also understood Xu You’s state of mind, so he didn’t think Xu You was wrong.
There are very few people in the world like Jushu Tian Feng who have been wronged and still loyal and worried about Yuan Shao.
If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.
This is what most normal people think
“Mr. Xu You is an old friend of my father’s, would you like to surrender?”
Regarding Xu You, Cao Ang did not have the same prejudice as Cao Cao. He was also a wise man and had a long-term strategic vision.
During the Battle of Guandu in history, if Xu You had not come to vote for Cao Cao and informed Wuchao of the grain harvesting place, I am afraid that Cao Cao would not be able to defeat Yuan Shao so easily.
Later, he was killed by Xu Chu under Cao Cao’s instructions because of his unbridled speech and relying on his own merits and petty relationship with Cao Cao. In the early decisive battle between Yuan and Cao, he did not surrender to the Cao family in advance, nor did he make any achievements, but it did not affect Cao Ang’s acceptance of this person.
Apart from anything else, Xu You’s temperament was that he was not afraid of offending others. A double-edged sword would be taboo in front of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but in Cao Ang’s hands, it happens to be a spear!
With Xu You in hand, he can use this person to clean up the Hebei family and weaken the family.
At that time, the benefits will belong to Cao Ang, but all the hatred and infamy will be attracted by Xu You.
To put it bluntly, from the perspective of the monarch, there is no strict distinction between the honest and the honest. People have their benefits.
Small people also have their uses!
The water of the Yangtze River is clear, and it can nourish several states in the south and north.
The water of the Yellow River is turbid, but it supports more people and fields than the Yangtze River!
“It’s what you want!
Xu You pays homage to the general!”
Facing Cao Ang’s solicitation, Xu You smiled and bowed generously without any hesitation. He looked happy.
He had long been fed up with Yuan Shao’s stupidity. Now he was facing his old friend Cao A’ao. The son of the dragon and phoenix who moved the world, and the current general of the Han Dynasty, there is no reason why he would not want to submit.
“Mr. Jushou and Mr. Tian Feng, I know your intentions, so I won’t try to dissuade you.
Please follow me to the front of the battle to see Mr. Yuan off.”
After accepting Xu You, Cao Ang looked at Jushou and Tian Feng. It was the first time for him and Jushou to meet, but they were old friends with Tian Feng.
Although they only met in Xudu’s court at the beginning of the year, But Tian Feng lured Cao Ang into being a close friend.
Because of this, Cao Ang knew that even though the two had friendship, his loyal minister would not surrender to Cao Ang easily.
, if Yuan Shao died, it would be different.
After hearing Cao Ang say that he would take them to see Yuan Shao off, Jushuo Tian Feng’s face became even more painful and he kept sighing.
From the time when Cao Ang led his army into Yuan Shao’s camp, they They knew that everything was over.
Although they were locked up by Yuan Shao in advance and did not participate in the subsequent events, they also learned many things from the sergeants guarding them.
For example, when they learned that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were killed by Yuan Shao, They sighed, knowing that Yuan Shao had killed Liu Bei by mistake.
If Liu Bei had not been killed, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would still be available, and Liu Bei’s brother Guan Yu might also be a big help.
But Yuan Shao killed Liu Bei. Zhang Fei had the reputation of killing virtuous people, and he immediately formed a deadly feud with Guan Yu. He would definitely push Guan Yu towards Cao Jun and fight to the death with Yuan Shao.
He then learned that Yuan Shao divided his forces into three groups to encircle and suppress Cao Ang. When Xiahou Dun Gao Shun was fighting Cao Cao, Jushou Tian Feng was worried.
They felt that the biggest threat among Cao Cao’s army was Cao Ang.
It might be enough to send Wen Chou and other 200,000 elites, but for the sake of safety, it should be more. Send most of the troops to annihilate Cao Ang first.
As for Xiahou Dun Gaoshun’s supporting army and Cao Cao’s main force, it is entirely possible to send a small force to defend the camp and rely on fortifications to block it.
However, it would be a pity to let Ju Shou Tian Feng and others. , they can only hope that Wen Chou and Zhang He and other 200,000 elites can defeat Cao Ang.
But at this moment, Cao Ang’s appearance in Yuan’s camp means that Wen Chou and Zhang He Gao Lan are planning to encircle and annihilate. Defeated!
Although we don’t know what happened to that army, it can be seen from the blood stains on Cao Ang and the soldiers behind him that Wen Chou’s army must have been defeated!
Moreover, after Cao Ang defeated Wen Chou’s army, he did not go directly south to fight with him. Cao Cao’s main force gathered to attack Yuan Shao, but went straight to Yuan Jun’s camp. This was a plan that cut off Yuan Shao’s last hope!
Originally, even after Chaoge’s grain storage was burned, there were still people in Yuan Jun’s camp. It can provide nearly a month of food and grass, which can temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. Even if the battle is unfavorable, it can still retreat to Hebei.
In the four states of Hebei, the cavalry of the Wuhuan, Southern Xiongnu and other tribes were recruited to be used by the Yuan family.
If Jushou Tian Feng had not been imprisoned by Yuan Shao, there was still hope that he could compete with the Cao family. They opposed the division of troops and proposed that the main force besieged Cao Ang, while the remaining troops stayed in the camp to block Cao Cao’s main force. But now, it was too late to say that
Chaoge ‘s food reserves had been lost, and the camp had fallen into Cao Ang’s hands.
Once Cao Ang lights another fire, all the baggage, attacking equipment, and a month’s worth of food and grass in the camp will be burned!
And Yuan Jun’s military morale will collapse instantly!
All is lost!
Even the chance to return to Hebei calmly is gone!
Therefore, Jushou Tian Feng lamented over it, and was also deeply shocked by Cao Ang’s uncanny plotting and unparalleled bravery.
A few months ago, they could not have imagined that Yuan Shao, who was in charge of the four states, would be pushed to such an extent by a young man named Cao Ang!
But now, with the facts before our eyes, it’s too late to say anything.
In this way, Cao Ang led Xu You and Jushou Tian Feng, escorted the surrender troops left behind by Yuan Jun, and marched south.
Yu Jin was left with 20,000 troops and horses to guard Yuan Jun’s camp.
And follow what I did in Chaoge before, collect firewood fuel, wet it, and light it to smoke out the smoke.
At this time, dozens of miles south of Yuan Jun’s camp, Yuan Shao commanded more than 400,000 troops and horses in various units, chasing Cao Cao’s more than 200,000 troops and horses moving south.
They are about to chase Cao Jun to the camp of Cao Jun in Suanzao and take advantage of the situation to defeat Cao Jun’s camp.
“Hahaha, they all say that Cao Ah Man is good at using troops, but I think it’s nothing more than that!
In the face of absolute military superiority, how can he be my opponent, Yuan Benchu?”
Yuan Shao stood on a huge chariot pulled by eight horses, with his hands on his hips and a proud look on his face.
Chariot���Above, Yuan Shao’s large scroll flutters in the wind, looking so high-spirited.
Although his troops that encircled and suppressed Cao Ang were defeated, it was also a great benefit to be able to defeat Cao Cao’s main force first!
Just wait until Cao Cao’s main force is defeated and Cao Cao is captured.
Then you can return to the army and crush Cao Zixiu, who is exhausted after the battle!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao felt that the depression from the previous defeats was completely gone.
His eyes are full of confidence and hope for victory.
At this time, Yuan Jun’s peripheral scouts suddenly came to report:”Lord, there is thick smoke billowing in the direction of the camp in the north, and it seems that there is a fire!”
This report immediately made the smile on Yuan Shao’s face stop abruptly.
After looking back stiffly like a wooden man, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Indeed, just as the scouts reported, there was black smoke billowing into the sky in the direction of Yuan Jun’s camp in the north!
Under this depressing winter sky, it looks extremely obvious!
“what happened!
Didn’t I order General Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan to lead the troops to guard the camp? (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Could it be that the two of them were negligent and caused a fire in the camp?”
Yuan Shao said in a suppressed voice with a bit of trembling.
In fact, he already had a guess in his mind, but he just didn’t want to admit it.
Therefore, he blamed Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan, thinking that their negligence caused the fire.
If so, It can also appease the morale of the army, allowing the army under his command to defeat Cao Cao’s main force first.
“Lord! There was a fire in the camp, and our army’s supplies of food and grass were exhausted.���There!
The entire army should quickly return to rescue and put out the fire!”
Zhang He rode his horse and said solemnly.
As a general, he knew the importance of the camp and the food and grass in the camp.
At the same time, Zhang He couldn’t help feeling sad, realizing that Yuan Jun was negligent and only wanted to defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible. However, he underestimated the mobility of Cao Ang’s elite cavalry.
He only felt that after Cao Ang’s battle, the main force of Yuan Jun (caca) was backed by Yuan Jun’s camp, which was not far away, so he did not expect that the camp would be attacked. Possibility.
But he didn’t expect that Cao Cao’s main force was on the verge of retreat. Seeing this, everyone in Yuan’s army thought they were about to win, and they all pursued the victory and wanted to seize the military glory.
Even Yuan Shao’s army followed closely. Moving south, away from the camp, he fell into the trap and gave Cao Ang the opportunity to attack Yuan Jun’s camp first. [] Moreover
, it was not that Zhang He didn’t know that this was a rare opportunity to defeat Cao Cao’s main force. It can be vaguely seen that although Cao Cao’s army retreated, there was no sign of disintegration. It did not look like a real defeat, but rather a feigned retreat!
Even combining the two, it is not difficult to guess that Cao Cao’s main force was defeated. It was the feigned defeat that lured the enemy deeper and gave Cao Ang a chance!
However, Yuan’s army fell into the trap again!
Therefore, Zhang He made a decisive decision and suggested to Yuan Shao that the entire army withdraw to put out the fire and save the camp to regain the food and grass. They should not fall into the quagmire of Cao’s army’s feigned defeat..
However, Yuan Shao was like a gambler who was obsessed with gambling. After losing half of his money in a row, his mentality was a little broken.
He just wanted to seize the opportunity of Cao Jun’s retreat and defeat his main force first, and at least he could win. Returning to the game, he directly rejected Zhang He’s suggestion:”I still have more than ten thousand troops in the camp. Even if Cao Ang goes to attack, it will be difficult to capture them with their powerful crossbows.
The smoke in the north must be Cao Ang’s fake fire outside the camp in order to shake the hearts of our troops!
All officers and men listen to the order and move forward with all their strength to defeat Cao Jun!
Whoever captures Cao Cao, whether alive or dead, will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households!”
Yuan Shao’s hysterical madness made Zhang He sigh.
As a result, Yuan Jun’s last retreat will be cut off.
If Cao Cao cannot be captured quickly, the 400,000-strong army will be in dire straits!
“Zhang He, you lead your elite troops to attack the weak points of Cao’s army.
If you can capture Cao Cao’s head, in addition to being granted a title of ten thousand gold and ten thousand households, I will appoint you as the governor of Bingzhou!”
Yuan Shao stared at Zhang He with red eyes.
At this time, among the Yuan army, in terms of bravery and skill, only Zhang He and Gao Lan were the only two generals, and Zhang He was even better than Gao Lan.
Zhang He had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
However, After Cao Jun retreated to Cao’s camp, he relied on the well-built camp fortifications to block Yuan Jun’s fierce attack. No matter how fierce the attack was by Zhang He, Gao Lan and Guo Tu, they couldn’t take it for a while.
At that moment, a cry of killing was heard from behind Yuan Jun. All Yuan Jun were so shocked that they couldn’t help but look back.
They saw a jingqi trotting towards them, sending up smoke and dust all over the sky. back���Ten thousand troops, escorting thousands of Yuan troops to surrender, slowly came forward.
At the forefront of the elite cavalry, General Cao Ang’s banner gradually became clearly visible!
Finally, Cao Ang’s troops stopped hundreds of steps away from Yuan Jun’s rear formation.
There was no attack on Yuan Jun’s rear formation.
For most of the day, after a series of battles and repeated attacks, even the light cavalry were exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
What’s more, for now, Yuan’s army can be defeated without further fighting.
“Mr. Yuan! You are at the end of your rope, so let’s capture him without any hesitation!
Your camp has been conquered by me, and all the food, grass and baggage have been burned to the ground!
The head of Second General Jiao Touched and Zhang Nan is here!”
Cao Ang rode his horse out and shouted loudly, causing Zhang Nan’s head to be thrown in front of Yuan Jun’s formation.
At this moment, there was an uproar among Yuan Jun, and many sergeants showed fear and panic. The color of chaos!
Before that, the Yuan army who followed Wen Chou and Zhang He and was defeated by Cao Ang already knew that Chaoge’s grain and grass had been captured by Cao’s army.
It was Zhang He who came forward and said that there was still a month’s worth of grain and grass in the camp, which finally saved the army’s morale. Hold on tight.
Now, smoke was billowing from the north of the camp. Cao Ang led Cao’s army from the north, and brought the heads of Jiao Huo and Zhang Nan who were left behind in the camp. They also surrendered. They were all taken by Cao Ang.
In the face of such clear evidence, it was a definite fact that the camp was lost and all the supplies and supplies were lost!
In other words, for Yuan Shao’s army, the next meal was not available! How could we not panic?
And where Yuan Jun’s banner was, Yuan Shao stood on the chariot, looking at the head of the second general who was thrown in front of the formation by Cao Jun. Looking at Cao Ang’s high-spirited look, he couldn’t help but stare blankly, holding his hands. The shaft of the car was on the verge of falling.
It was only the driver on the side who held him back that kept Yuan Shao from falling. At this moment, Yuan Shao
‘s eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and his heart was filled with despair.
A descendant of the Yuan family, the leader of the four states in Hebei, and the leader of the alliance led by the eighteen princes, one day he would face such an embarrassing situation! He was not even defeated by Cao Cao, who was of the same generation as him, but by Cao Cao! The hand of his son Cao Ang!
“Cao Zixiu! You’re such a yellow-mouthed kid!
How dare you bully me to this point!”
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Ang, and cursed bitterly.
Facing Yuan Shao’s anger, Cao Ang looked calm, and he even expected Yuan Shao to keep scolding him.
Because every time Yuan Shao cursed, a beam of negative energy would appear in the system panel. refresh
“Negative energy from Yuan Shao +999”
“Negative energy from Yuan Shao +999”
“from……”
Each negative energy has a value of 999, without any impurities.
Ten channels are almost ten thousand, and one hundred channels are one hundred thousand points.
In this moment, Yuan Shao had brushed out a value of half a million points. Adding in the previous brushes from Wen Chou and his own people, Cao Ang’s negative energy had once again reached nearly one million points.
However, Cao Ang is enjoying Yuan Shao’s negative energy contribution here, but Cao Cao on the other side cannot accept Yuan Shao’s criticism of him.
So Cao Cao drove out from Cao’s army with Dianwei’s chariot, and coldly snorted in the direction of Yuan Shao:”Brother Benchu, you are the Third Duke of the Fourth Generation, the Lord of Hebei, and a hero of the world.
In today’s troubled times, The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
Why do you complain so much about my son?”
Yuan Shao couldn’t help but become even more angry when he heard Cao Cao’s words.
Cao A’hao is just getting an advantage and acting like a good boy!
Relying on having a good son, he acted like a victor and said the words”winner and loser”.
If it were you, Cao Aha, who was defeated today, would you be able to say this so calmly?
As a result, Yuan Shao’s anger was transferred to Cao Cao, and he began to continuously attack Cao Cao.……
