Chapter 348: I can’t bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore
Chenliu County…
It had been more than ten days since they traveled south from Guandu, and Cao Cao's army had just passed through Chenliu County. The entire march was as fast as a turtle crawling.
But...in order to make the trick more realistic, Cao Cao specially sent several cavalry troops to go south quickly.
It seems to be secretive, but in fact they are deliberately exposed to the careful eyes of the Yuan family in Hebei, the Sun family in Jiangdong, and the Liu family in Jingzhou.
One letter after another, Cao Cao pretended to be heading south slowly, but actually made a secret surprise attack on Jiangdong. News of Jingzhou spread to the north, to Jingzhou, to Jiangdong...
Liu Biao was panicked. He sent more troops to the newly defected Liu Bei and asked him to garrison Xinye to defend against Cao Cao's southward march.
Zhou Yu is very calm. This move seems to be to build a plank road openly and secretly attack Chen Cang. The purpose is Jiangdong and Jingzhou...
But in fact, Cao Cao's real intention was to attack south on the surface, but actually wait for an opportunity to go north. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to his land in Hebei!
Because of this, Sun Quan was extremely anxious, but Zhou Yu remained calm and even tried to persuade Sun Quan not to panic...
Speaking of which, the most turbulent situation is that of the Yuan family in Hebei.
The entire north already feels a bit inexplicably nervous!
After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, his eldest nephew Gao Gan was the first to evacuate. He was still thinking about becoming the local emperor of Bingzhou. Even after the alarm was lifted...the support sent to open up the second battlefield was just a show of force, and he randomly allocated more than a thousand people.
old, weak and disabled soldiers.
Yuan Xi no longer wasted time in Jizhou, and he also led his troops back to Youzhou.
On the contrary, the only two brothers left in Jizhou are Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang...
seem…
Along the way to retreat, Cao Cao was looking forward to it. Yi Xiaotian's plans were coming true one by one. Next, it would be the turn of the brothers of the Yuan family who were late to fight.
Will Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang really create brilliant sparks just like Brother Yi predicted?
…
…
The development of the north is almost as expected by Yi Xiaotian.
After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, the eldest brother Yuan Tan and the younger brother Yuan Shang really started to make trouble...
The so-called not a family, don't enter the same door...
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang inherited the "excellent tradition" of their fathers. Back then, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu slandered and attacked each other. Now, they have also begun a new round of fratricide.
And the beginning of all this can be attributed to the completely different attitudes of both sides when facing Cao Cao's retreat.
Yuan Tan believes that they have been beaten to pieces by Cao Cao during this period and are fed up. Now that Cao Cao has withdrawn his troops, they should take the opportunity to catch up and completely defeat Cao Cao while they are retreating. This is the last chance!
When he first heard what his brother said, Yuan Shang also thought it was pretty good. Even if Cao Cao was cunning and cunning, with fierce generals like an army and soldiers like rain, there was nothing he could do if he used this guerrilla tactic in which the enemy advances and we retreat.
But... Yuan Shang was worried that his brother had other plans and took the opportunity to ask for military power, food, and weapons from him... Therefore, Yuan Shang's attitude was as resolute as ever. No matter how Yuan Tan requested, Yuan Shang would not listen!
Seeing his brother's domineering and arrogant appearance... Yuan Tan was filled with anger.
Back at the garrison, Guo Tu and Xin Ping's words only added fuel to the fire...
Speaking of which, the Yuan family... has reached this point. These two people are still thinking about how to engage in internal fighting and frame their own people, so they told Yuan Tan two "secrets" -
——The idea that Yuan Shao adopted Yuan Tan to his deceased eldest brother was the idea of Yuan Shang’s counselors!
——When Yuan Shao was about to die, he originally wanted to appoint Yuan Tan, but it was the judge who interfered, causing Yuan Tan to lose his status as heir!
call…
Old and new grudges... This is the thing that Yuan Tan can't let go of the most. He was already full of anger, but now his scars have been revealed!
I can't bear it any more, and there is no need to bear it any longer.
finally…
Under the instigation of his two counselors, in the dead of night... Yuan Tan led his Qingzhou soldiers and horses to launch a sneak attack on Yuan Shang!
Unfortunately, compared to this little brother, Yuan Tan's organizational skills and sneak attack skills were so poor. Yuan Shang quickly got the news, and the two sides started fighting each other in Ye City!
A real melee broke out, and the situation in the north and Jizhou was completely chaotic.
…
…
Thirty miles south of Chenliu County is Cao Ying Dazhai.
The moon was covered by dark clouds, and the whole sky and earth were pitch black. It felt like a murderous night with a dark moon and high winds...
The candles were lit in Cao Cao's tent. He did not sleep, but was waiting...as if he was eagerly anticipating something.
In fact, at this time, what he missed most was nothing more than one person and one thing.
The thing is, of course, the internal fighting between the Yuan clan in the north caused Xiao Qiang...
Brother Yi just planned all this, but when did the internal fighting start? How should Cao Cao take advantage of it? Brother Yi didn't say this clearly...
It seemed that all Cao Cao could do was wait. He always believed that what Brother Yi mentioned would definitely come true, and what Brother Yi did not mention would most likely be solved by the time.
As for...the person Cao Cao misses is Yi Xiaotian.
call out…
When he thought of Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao frowned slightly. He felt a little regretful and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
He even felt that asking Brother Yi to go out to the Guanzhong place was an extremely dangerous thing.
In Guanzhong, more than ten groups of warlords are fighting against each other, surrounded by powerful enemies, and extremely dangerous. Each of these princes is very tough, and they often plunder the passing merchant troops...
Bao Buqi suddenly came out and robbed Brother Yi's convoy? What should we do?
Although Cao Cao sent the Huben Army to protect him, and even sent Dian Wei, one of the leaders of the Huben Army, to personally attack, the number was still too small, only about fifty people.
Cao Cao felt that in terms of military strength, the troops he dispatched were too conservative. He should have allocated a team of at least 5,000 men!
call…
When he thought of this, Cao Cao let out another long breath.
It doesn't matter if Chang'an City is lost, it doesn't matter if the second battlefield can be opened. The key is, Brother Yi's safety is the top priority!
"Mengde, Mengde..."
Just when I thought of this, Cao Ren's voice sounded one after another outside the big tent.
Cao Cao didn't hesitate for a moment and went straight out to meet Cao Ren. Speaking of which...Cao Ren was in charge of intelligence. He probably knew better about Brother Yi's current situation.
"Zixiao, is there any news about Brother Yi?" Cao Cao couldn't help but asked directly.
"That's not true. It takes longer to exchange tokens between Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and the road is not easy to walk. I'm afraid the letter is still on the way." Cao Ren waved his hand. "What's more..."
Um...what's more?
From Cao Ren's tone, Cao Cao could tell that what he said next must be bad news.
Immediately, Cao Cao frowned tightly.
Cao Ren's words continued. "Brother, news came from Guanzhong that many princes in Guanzhong openly rebelled. They bypassed Chang'an and entrenched themselves on various official roads. They have begun to openly plunder the merchants coming and going. There are several waves of cavalry from Wancheng rushing to aid Chang'an.
The team was also defeated by Xiliang soldiers and horses along the way, and the situation is not optimistic!"
call out…
Suddenly, Cao Cao's brows almost stood up.
If this is the case, wouldn't Brother Yi's situation be even more dangerous? Let alone going to Chang'an, even if he encounters thousands of troops from Xiliang along the way, there is still a risk of being captured and killed!
As time passed, Cao Cao's expression became even more ugly. He even reached out his hand and slapped his forehead heavily, as if he regretted his failed decision.
"Brother Yi...Brother Yi, Yi Xiaotian!" Cao Cao murmured his name. At this time, Cao Cao clenched his fists and spoke words one by one. "Yi Xiaotian!"
God, if you are alive, you must come back alive!"
In a word...Cao Cao's fists were clenched tighter.
"Report...Lord, there is a message from a flying pigeon from Xiliang!"
A Huben soldier hurriedly reported... "It was sent by Dian Wei, the left commander of the Huben army, saying... that at the foot of Tongguan, they encountered two thousand Xiliang cavalry..."
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao's heart thumped... and his face became even more ugly.
He never thought that the next words of the tiger soldier would make him confused. Not only was he confused, Cao Cao was also confused.
——"Mr. Yi was calm and composed under Tongguan. He released the fire dragon with every movement. Two thousand enemy troops were burned to death in an instant. More than fifty tiger soldiers were not harmed at all. He even captured Ma Teng's son and daughter.
