Just as Yi Xiaotian predicted, the more than 200,000 Yuan troops at this time were divided into more than 30 teams. They crossed the most turbulent Yellow River and passed through dense thorns, each one with scars.
Finally, we arrived at Cangting.
This walled city is located in an extremely inconspicuous place on the south bank of the Yellow River... The choice of this place was made after discussions between Yuan Shao, his three sons and one nephew...
The lack of military strength made Yuan Shao give up the idea of confronting Cao Cao head-on. He even thought that since you can surprise me at Wuchao, then I can also surprise you at Cangting. Who is afraid of whom?
…
"Father, all the army has crossed the Yellow River and passed through the thorns."
The person speaking was Yuan Shao's most beloved son, Yuan Shang.
He was riding a white horse, standing next to Yuan Shao. He looked handsome and handsome, indeed much better looking than those brothers.
His voice continued, his words were awe-inspiring and domineering, quite a bit like Yuan Shao's once arrogant look.
"Father, even if the Cao thief has discovered our traces now, it is already too late... I asked for orders to go and capture Cangting Village in person... open the westward road and approach Xudu, leaving the Cao thief homeless!
"
The words are sonorous and every word has a ring to it...
As soon as Yuan Shang finished speaking, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan also rode forward.
"Father, just let me go to Cangting Village to attack! The Qingzhou cavalry under me is already eager to try!"
For a time, Yuan Shao's two sons started fighting over each other.
It’s no wonder that according to the available intelligence, Cangting Village has no protection at all. It is easy to capture it without any effort...
Both the eldest son Yuan Tan and the youngest son Yuan Shang are bound to get this credit.
"Shang'er, go and attack! I will beat the drum for my father and for you..."
Yuan Shao immediately ordered... After all, he still loves his little son.
"Baby, take the order!" Yuan Shang handed over his hand, and immediately raised the bright silver spear... intending to summon Jizhou soldiers and horses to attack the walled city!
"Humph..." Yuan Tan turned his head and snorted coldly, feeling infinite dissatisfaction in his heart!
Just when Yuan Shang raised his spear and was about to order an attack on the city.
"Report..." A message was passed, and a scout hurried over on a horse. "Mr. Yuan, we found Cao Jun hurriedly coming here in various shapes five miles ahead..."
Hmm... Yuan Shao was slightly startled.
He narrowed his eyes, exhaled softly, and sighed, "What a fast move..."
This time, he was fully prepared.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, the plan to pass through Cangting and attack Xudu this time was planned.
Yuan Shao was precise to the minute about the time required for each military operation, the time required for Cao Cao's reaction, and the time required for dispatching troops and horses. He also formulated three completely different response plans, which were basically able to deal with various situations and were foolproof.
Judging from one of the plans, if Cao Jun discovers them immediately and urgently mobilizes troops and horses to help Cangting... it seems that it is time to arrive at this time! But...
"Haha...came just in time."
Instead of panicking, Yuan Shao laughed out loud, as if Cao Cao had fallen into the trap.
"Cao's army gathered quickly, and the number of troops must be small. Moreover, marching a long distance is already at the end of the war... Haha... I can take their heads to show my resentment for the battle of Guandu!"
Yuan Shao immediately ordered... "Shang'er will lead the soldiers and horses of Jizhou to attack, and I will command the army to support you..."
"Father, don't worry, my son will kill the enemy general!" Yuan Shang promised.
This sentence actually reminded Yuan Shao.
He turned his head back to the scout and asked curiously, "Who is the general of the enemy's reinforcements?"
"It's...it's Cao Cao!" The scout said without thinking...
"...What?" As soon as he said this, Yuan Shao was shocked... His whole body was shaken and his spirit was lifted. He asked urgently. "You, say it again? Who is the enemy general?"
"Cao...Cao Cao!" He blurted out one sentence, and the scout's face became firm, and he explained. "You can see clearly that it is Cao Cao's appearance, and there are Xu Chu and Hu Benjun standing beside Cao Cao.
"
Phew...Xu Chu, Tiger Ben Army!
As soon as these two words came out of his mouth, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly widened.
If we say...because the distance is too far, we may not recognize Cao Cao's appearance clearly, but...Hu Benjun and Xu Chu have always been inseparable from Cao Cao. If they are here, then Cao Cao must be here too!
Thoughts on this…
Yuan Shao could no longer keep his composure. The enemy army must be tired from marching a long distance, and the number of people rushing to rescue them must be small. In addition, the leader of them is... is... his former janitor, and now he is riding on his neck to be severely humiliated.
My own Cao Aman...
In an instant, anger arose in Yuan Shao's chest.
All the careful plans and arrangements he had made before... were completely forgotten.
At this moment, there was a line of big words in his mind - Kill Cao Thief at all costs!
"The whole army attacks and kills the Cao thieves!"
Yuan Shao didn't care about arranging who would be the vanguard and who would support him. He waved his flags as if the whole army was charging...
How much Yuan Shao hates Cao Cao, how crazy his behavior will be now...
"kill…"
The youngest son Yuan Shang took the lead and led the army to kill...
The Youzhou soldiers led by Yuan Xi and the Bingzhou soldiers led by Gao Gan also charged forward at the same time. For a moment, the entire Cangting was filled with sand and rocks, and the sky was filled with dust. It seemed that the coming dusk was about to be filled with blood.
"Father..." The eldest son Yuan Tan is considered the wisest one. "Cao Cao personally leads the troops, so there must be an ambush... My father is desperate, I am afraid... I am afraid that Cao Cao's thieves will ambush me."
"You bastard...get out!"
I never thought that the person who responded to Yuan Tan's advice would be a "rebellious son" and a "go away"...
"So what if there's an ambush?"
Yuan Shao pulled out his sword from his waist. "At this moment, our army has only one goal - to kill Cao Cao! Everything else is unimportant! All the army, follow me to kill, whoever kills Xu Chu will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces, and whoever kills Cao Cao will be rewarded with ten thousand pieces of gold."
Gold, grant the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
Da da da…
The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the world.
Here it comes, Yuan Jun is here... coming with a majestic momentum!
Especially Yuan Shao, his eyes were glowing red, as if they were dyed red by blood...
He has always been an arrogant person. He grew up in a rich family and grew up in the honeypot of power. As he grew up, he was always admired by the stars and surrounded by thousands of people. Success was the only thing in his dictionary.
without fail…
And Cao Cao was the only man who failed him...
snort…
In Yuan Shao's view, nowadays, there is nothing more important than killing Cao Cao!
It's a pity that he doesn't know...
This weakness of his character has long been amplified by Yi Xiaotian again and again...
Using Cao Cao himself as bait to lure the enemy deeper may not work well for others, but it is a clever move against Yuan Shao, who is so angry that his mind is filled with thoughts of Cao Cao's head...
A wonderful move that can instantly clear Yuan Shao's IQ!
