377. Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-nine: The Battle of Ye City Six
Cao Ang is twenty-four years old this year and is the eldest son of Cao Cao. Because his biological mother died early, he was raised by his wife Ding. He is extremely intelligent and has a gentle temperament, which makes him loved by Cao Cao. This is the first time he has followed Cao Cao to fight.
Experience the meaning of training as a heir.
Cao Ang stood up and clasped his fists like other generals and said: "My lord, I think what Commander Cheng said is reasonable. Now that our army has lost its chance, we should withdraw our troops immediately and send capable generals to guard Puyang, and with Liu Lin
Negotiate peace, and the lord will lead the main army to the south! To prepare the strength to fight against Liu Lin!"
When Cao Cao heard this, there was a hint of surprise on his face, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart. He glanced at Cao Ang, then at Cheng Yu, and then said to Cao Ang: "Don't you know that if Liu Lin takes Ye City, the entire Jizhou will be destroyed?"
Most of it, except Puyang, which is controlled by his father, is Liu Lin's territory. In this way, Liu Lin controls Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. How can he allow his father to drive wedges in his key points?
There will definitely be a battle between my father and Liu Lin!"
Seeing his father asking questions, Cao Ang no longer had any worries, so he clasped his fists and said: "My lord, even after Liu Lin captured Yecheng, the wealthy families in Jizhou are still a tough nut to crack. Liu Lin needs to make great efforts to appease us, and we
Secretly send people to contact some aristocratic families who are dissatisfied with Liu Lin, and find something for Liu Lin to do in Jizhou. By then, Liu Lin himself will be very busy with internal affairs, and there will be no time to go south!" After saying this, he saw Cao Cao.
Stroking his beard and nodding, Cao Ang suddenly became energetic and continued: "The lord can capture Beihai, form a military alliance with Puyang, and jointly defend Jizhou Liu Lin, and then march west to Wancheng to defeat Wu.
Guan, take Chang'an, and my lord will definitely be the Han's number one hero!" When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed. He stepped forward and patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said, "That's very good. It seems you have grown up!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he said fiercely: "My order!" All the soldiers hurriedly bowed and clasped their fists, only to hear Cao Cao say: "Order the army to withdraw immediately, General Xiahou Yuan cuts off the rear!" All the generals said "Promise!" After Cao Cao's order,
Cao Jun quickly began to withdraw from camp, but the whole process was extremely careful. When Zhang Fei, who was watching from the side, saw this, he knew that this time was in vain, so he quickly led hundreds of personal guards to meet with Chu Yan and withdrew his troops back to the Yecheng barracks.
After Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Puyang, he appointed Cao Ang as the governor of Puyang and Xia Houyuan as the Sima. The two led an army of 30,000 to guard Puyang. Cao Cao led the army back to Xuchang. As soon as he returned to Xuchang, bad news came. The Cao family was destroyed by Xuzhou Tao.
Qian's general Zhang Kai led his army to behead the whole family. Cao Cao was immediately grieved. He immediately ordered the three armies to march to Xuzhou! To avenge the Cao family!
In the past few days, earth-shaking changes have taken place around Yecheng in Jizhou. Zhen Yi led the officials from the Youzhou Land and Acres Department and began to divide the fields. All family members who served in the army in Youzhou were given fifty acres of land at home.
The average common people have thirty acres of farmland, but the families of generals serving in Yuan Shao's army can only get ten acres of fertile land. In addition, the government also transported cattle and horses from Youzhou and distributed them to each household. Of course, in Yuan Shao's army,
The family members who served in the army had nothing. Many family members went to the government to inquire. In the end, the government gave the condition that as long as they no longer served Yuan Shao, their treatment would be the same as that of ordinary people. Suddenly the whole Jizhou began to shake.
For the common people, they join the army and fight just to survive for their families. In the past, they had no land and were just tenant farmers of wealthy families. But now it is better. The government gave them fields and said that these fields belong to their families. The government
All they need is a little grain. This is their own land. Their ancestors have worked on the land all their lives. Wherever they have their own piece of land, now they finally have their own land. How can they not cherish it? Many of their relatives, nephews and relatives are in Yuan Shaojun.
The common people who were serving as soldiers spontaneously organized themselves and shouted to Yuan Jun under Ye City.
The general's mansion in Yecheng was now in chaos. Yuan Shao was sitting there with a murderous look on his face. Jushou and Shenpei were silent, with helpless expressions on their faces. Xu You and Guo Tu had pale faces.
, Sitting there blankly, Yuan Shao glanced at several counselors and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you guys? You're dumb. Cao Cao has withdrawn. Liu Lin's army is still outside the city. Those mud-legged people are now bewitched, and now they are
Come to confuse our army, what should we do now?"
Seeing that everyone was silent and he was leaving Jizhou, Jushou bowed and said: "Master, now we didn't expect Liu Lin to use this strategy. For the current plan, we can only talk to Liu Lin first and find a solution."
"The way!" "The solution? Huh! How to solve it? Do you think Liu Lin will give up at this time and talk to us?" Shen Pei suddenly said, Ju Shou shook his head helplessly, even though he is a man of extraordinary resourcefulness, but when it comes
He didn't know what to do with his current predicament for a moment!
Yuan Shao looked at Shen Pei and said: "According to Zheng Nan's words, what should we do?" Shen Pei said sternly: "At this time, if it is a minute later, the morale of the army will be unstable. Now we can only concentrate our superior forces to fight against Liu Lin's army.
We have a five-fifth chance of winning the battle. If we delay it any longer, something will definitely change!" When Yuan Shao heard that he only had a five-fifth chance of winning, he immediately lost his energy. Wen Chou, who was standing aside, said: "It's a waste of discussion here, wait until I get out.
Kill those bastards, and then kill the guy who deceived the army, and guard him for half a year. I will see who can outlast the other, and then Liu Lin will go back without us having to retreat!"
When Jushou heard this, he quickly said: "No! The soldiers and generals in Yecheng now are all local troops in Jizhou, far from the army originally brought by the lord from Luoyang. If General Wen does this, the army will be in chaos, and we will wait for it."
You will die without a burial place!" Yuan Shao was about to agree with Wen Chou, but he calmed down immediately after hearing what Ju Shou said. He glanced at Wen Chou angrily, and Wen Chou was too frightened to say anything. Yuan Shao then looked at Xu You and Guo Tu
, when the two of them saw Yuan Shao looking at them, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master, we feel that Zhengnan's intention is very serious. For the current plan, the only way to fight to the death is to fight to the death!"
Yuan Shao saw that all the counselors agreed with the strategy of judging and matching, and then looked at the generals, and saw that none of them had any objections. Although he was still a little unsure, at this critical moment, he could not care much anymore, so he had to order: "
Okay, generals, quickly gather your troops and horses, we will attack Liu Lin!" The generals quickly bowed and said: "No!"
