The Wuchao fire broke out, and Yuan's camp in Guandu could see it clearly. Jushou hurriedly ran into the Chinese army's tent, and pushed Yuan Shao awake in twos and twos: "Lord, wake up quickly, something has changed in Wuchao!"
Following Jushou to the outside of the tent, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Wuchao. The blazing fire lit up the sky. Yuan Shao panicked for a moment: "This, this, what should I do?"
"Lord, for this plan, send people to rescue Wuchao immediately!" Jushu said very urgently: "Wuchao is where our army stores food. If Wuchao is lost and the morale of the army is unstable, Cao Cao will take the opportunity to attack.
Danger!"
"Yes, yes, yes...!" Yuan Shao said several times in a row: "Come here, give the order quickly...!"
"My lord, wait a minute!" Guo Tu hurriedly stopped: "Wuchao is an important place for our army, and it is guarded by General Chunyu's 10,000 troops. If Cao Cao wants to burn Wuchao, he will naturally send a lot of troops. At this time, Cao Cao's camp
It must be empty. If the lord sends troops to cover up the attack, Cao Cao's army will definitely be defeated. If he returns to rescue Wuchao, he can capture Cao Cao in one fell swoop! It would be good to exchange hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass from Wuchao for victory in this battle!"
Feng Ji nodded: "Guo Tu is right! Wuchao is already on fire. Even if we send people to rescue, there is nothing we can do. It is better to take the opportunity to attack Cao Jun's stronghold to have a better chance of winning!"
"Confused!" Jushou said angrily: "Cao Cao attacked Wuchao secretly. How could he not think of this move? If the attack on Cao Cao's camp was unsuccessful and Wuchao's grain and grass were burned, I might not be able to hold on with Cao's army. My lord! Food and grass are important.
You must not make any mistakes! Besides, Cao Cao still has Long Fei as a helper. Even if we attack with all our strength, as long as Long Fei helps, there is little chance of capturing Cao Cao's camp."
Yuan Shao was caught in a dilemma. He wanted to save Wuchao, but Wuchao had been burned down. It would be useless to go there. If he didn't save Wuchao, if he couldn't capture Cao's camp, it would only increase the number of casualties. It was really hard to figure out what to do. Jushou, when encountering
Ji, Guo Tu and others were still arguing, but no one could convince anyone. Several people were blushing and the quarrel gave Yuan Shao a severe headache.
Yuan Shao turned back to his tent, and several people hurriedly followed. When they came to the door, Yuan Shao asked them to wait and think about it. This sentence made the three of them dumbfounded. The matter was urgent and they still had to think about it. I really didn't know that Yuan Shao
What are you thinking? But who is the master? I can only wait obediently.
Yuan Shao sat in the tent feeling melancholy for a long time, but still couldn't think of a good solution. Suddenly he remembered something, went deep into his arms, took out the divination copper coin, silently prayed to heaven, and threw the copper coin on the ground. He studied it carefully for a long time.
, Yuan Shao let out a long breath and shouted at the gate: "Come in! Gather the generals, and this time we will completely defeat Cao Cao!"
"Ah!" Jushu was completely speechless and looked at Yuan Shao in a daze. Yuan Shao chuckled: "You don't have to worry, Wuchao must be saved too!"
The gathering drum suddenly sounded in the middle of the night. The generals, lieutenants, and Sima hurriedly got up, dressed neatly, and hurried to the Chinese army's tent. Yuan Shao glanced at the crowd: "Wuchao was robbed. You should have seen it. The matter is urgent.
Not much to say! Han Meng, Zhao Rui orders you two to immediately lead your army and horses to Wuchao for rescue. The rest of the troops will lead the army and horses, with Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang as the vanguard, and attack Cao Cao's camp from three sides!"
"No!" Everyone agreed hastily.
Jushou fell to the ground crying: "Lord, think twice! Cao Cao must have been prepared for a long time, and it will be difficult to capture it for a while. If Wuchao is lost and the morale of the army is unstable, our army will be in danger!"
Feng Ji sneered twice: "You dare to judge, my lord has given orders, but you have repeatedly stopped me. Could it be that you are a spy for Cao Cao like Xu You?"
Guo Tudao: "My lord, please don't say this nonsense. We are facing a powerful enemy. We should assist the lord to defeat Cao Cao. We should not fight among ourselves. Mr. Ju, the lord has given the order and the army has set off. Changing the order day and night is a strategic plan of the military. You
You don’t want to see my army in chaos and give Cao Cao an opportunity, right?”
Han Meng and Zhao Rui were both riding horses, each with three thousand cavalry. After receiving Yuan Shao's order, the two men immediately led their troops out of the camp. The fire on the other side of Wuchao burned bigger and bigger, and people dozens of miles away were
They could see it clearly. After walking a mile or two, they both murmured in their hearts at the same time. Logically speaking, Chun Yuqiong had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but they could not block the sneak attack. How much could these 6,000 cavalrymen do?
.
The two of them combined their forces and sent scouts to Wuchao to investigate first. He tried to slow down his team as much as possible. It would be best to speed up after getting the exact information. Guandu was not far from Wuchao. When they reached Fengqiu, they were still still there.
There was no news from the scouts. Han Meng said: "Brother, across the river is Wuchao. There is no news yet. I think we should wait in Fengqiu. Once there is news, it won't be too late to leave!"
Zhao Rui nodded: "Brother is right! Brothers, dismount!"
Six thousand cavalry huddled together to rest by the side of Fengqiu City in the middle of the night. It was very dark, and the northwest wind was blowing a bit cold. Han Meng and Zhao Rui immediately sent someone to get some firewood, and when the bonfire started to rise, they took out the kettles they brought with them.
Han Meng took a sip first and handed it to Zhao Rui. Zhao Rui raised his neck and took a beautiful sip. The expression on his face immediately showed excitement: "Is this wine?"
Han Meng smiled: "Alcohol is prohibited in the army. Use this kettle to carry it so that no one else can tell!"
"Brother has a good plan!" Zhao Rui took another sip: "Everyone says that my brother is smart, and it seems true. I admire him!"
A rumbling sound suddenly came from behind. Everyone didn't know what happened. They turned around and looked back one by one. They couldn't see anything in the dark night. They only heard the sound behind them getting louder and louder. The soldiers on the outermost perimeter were louder.
Shout: "Enemy attack!"
The cry was so sharp that it cut through the entire night sky. The resting soldiers hurriedly looked for their horses. A group of cavalry suddenly came out of the darkness. With the help of the firelight, Han Meng could clearly see the cold weapons in the enemy's hands glowing with cold light. There was nothing.
Yuan Jun, who was preparing, was killed by surprise. Many soldiers were not killed by the enemy, but died under the hooves of their own horses.
Yuan Jun's chaos turned into a pot of porridge. Zhao Rui looked around: "Brother, what should I do?"
Han Meng no longer cared about whether he was a brother or a subordinate. He climbed on his horse, turned the horse's head and ran back. When Zhao Rui turned around, he found that Han Meng had disappeared and hurriedly chased after him. The two of them had just not run far away when they felt their feet
No, the sound of rushing water meant that they had reached the river and it was too late to turn around. Before they even landed on the shore, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind them.
A general with a black horse and black armor, wearing a black helmet, held a long-handled battle ax in his hand: "As expected, my lord, grandpa has been waiting here for a long time!"
Zhao Rui shouted: "An unknown person dares to run wild here and look at the gun!" Zhao Rui rushed forward. Han Meng rolled his eyes and saw that this person was the leader of this group of cavalry. If he could kill him,
Maybe there is still a way to survive, so he shouted: "I'm here to help too!" Wu Dao also rushed out.
The general on the opposite side stood there without moving. Zhao Rui's spear struck him, and the general knocked his axe. Zhao Rui felt a strong shock and his arm was numb. He could no longer hold it, and the spear flew away. The war horse
But he didn't stop at all, and plunged into the arms of the general. The general swung the ax handle horizontally and hit Zhao Rui hard in the belly. Han Meng's broadsword slashed his head and face, and the general and his horses
, the war horse moved half a foot away, and Han Meng's broadsword hit the general's side. The two horses kicked off wrongly, and the general swung the large ax with his backhand. Han Meng was caught off guard, and the huge ax hit Han Meng's back.
Han Meng spurted out a mouthful of blood, jumped off his horse, and lay on the ground vomiting blood.
The general turned his horse back and looked at Zhao Rui. Zhao Rui was dumbfounded. He injured both of himself with one move. There are few such powerful people in the world: "Who are you?"
The general asked: "Yuan Shao sent you two pustules to rescue Wuchao? Are there any other troops?"
Han Meng slowly stood up from the ground, holding his big sword in one hand, and stared at the man with wide eyes: "I heard that Cao Cao has many fierce generals, including the one-eyed general Xiahou Dun, the Confucian general Xiahou Yuan, as well as Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le
Jin and others are all talented generals. I wonder who you are? We are willing to surrender to Duke Cao, and we ask the general to recommend you!"
"Hahaha..." The general laughed loudly: "Cao Cao? General Du Mu, do you know that General Du Mu's single eye was made by my brother Huang?"
"Brother Huang?" Han Meng suddenly remembered the scene where Sun Jian's general Zu Mao died in battle at Hulao Pass. He heard that someone shot off Zu Mao's swords with an arrow and broke Zu Mao's defense before Zu Mao was shot.
He became a hedgehog. After asking around, he learned that this arrow was shot by a man named Huang Zhong who was under Long Fei. Could this man also be under Long Fei?
"Are you from Long Fei?" Han Meng asked hurriedly.
The general nodded slightly: "If you still know each other, let me tell you that I am the general of Zhenguo, and the prefect of Wancheng is subordinate to General Long. I am also Xu Huang! I was ordered by my lord to stop Yuan Shao's reinforcements here. I didn't expect to run into you.
Two idiots! Stop talking nonsense and take your life!" Xu Huang swung his ax and rode up.
Han Meng hurriedly knelt down and begged for surrender. Before he could say anything, he felt that his vision was not right. Why did he suddenly fly up? When he looked down, he was still on the ground. A foot-high pillar of blood spurted out from Han Meng's neck.
Zhao Rui couldn't move at all and stood there not knowing what to do. He watched helplessly as Xu Huang's big ax hit his head. Suddenly his vision went black and he didn't know anything anymore. Yuan Jun was driven back and forth by Xu Huang's cavalry.
After several attacks, many of them ran to death. Of the 6,000 cavalrymen, less than a hundred escaped back to Yuan Shao's camp. The rest either died or were captured.
Long Fei brought his army back from Wuchao and met Xu Huang in Fengqiu. Talking about the reinforcements just now, Long Fei smiled and said: "Gong Ming is here, I am absolutely assured. Even if Yuan Shao sends another 10,000 troops, Gong Ming will not be afraid."
!”
Guo Jia chuckled: "It seems that, just as my lord expected, Yuan Shao led his army to attack Cao Jun's camp! In this case, we will set another fire and completely burn out Yuan Shao's hopes!"
Long Fei chuckled and said: "It's better to understand me as a filial piety. The whole army will obey the order and leave some troops to escort the grain and grass back to the camp. The rest will follow me into Yuan Shao's camp and capture Yuan Shao alive!"
