It's late at night, and dark clouds cover the moon.
The wind blowing from the ancient path of the Yellow River rolled up the flags. The wind was so strong that it made it difficult to open one's eyes...
In the Yanjin camp, Yuan Shao was furious.
I thought it would be a devastating battle, but it turned out to be an evenly matched stalemate. Generally speaking, Yuan Shao undoubtedly had the advantage. But if you think about it carefully, he had several times more troops than Cao Cao.
Although he had many troops, he could not win a quick victory. Yuan Shao actually lost... and he lost to the opponent that Yuan Shao least wanted to lose to. How could Yuan Shao be happy about this?
"Xin Yi."
"The end will be here."
Wen Chou stepped forward, stepped in and saluted.
Xin Yi is the epitome of Wen Chou.
Yuan Shao called him by his first name, which showed that he was not overly blaming him.
You know your own affairs.
Wen Chou still remembers how embarrassingly he was killed by Dian Wei some time ago. To tell the truth, he did not dare to face Dian Wei, but others were not afraid. But with such a nemesis around, Wen Chou always muttered. Listen.
When Yuan Shao called him, Wen Chou's heart trembled.
"Didn't you tell me that you wanted to kill the thief?
Where is the head of the Cao thief now?"
Wen Chou jumped up and his face turned red.
He and Yan Liang are not quite the same. Yan Liang's skin color is darker and his skin color is lighter. So when his face turns red, it is particularly obvious. If it were in private, Wen Chou might not feel anything wrong. But in the big tent,
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, which made Wen Chou feel even more ashamed.
Think about how arrogant he was when he went to war?
But after arriving in Yanjin, they were severely defeated.
Xu You would definitely not dare to say anything, but Yuan Shao would not have any scruples.
One sentence made Wen Chou feel so ashamed that he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Chou will fight Cao Cao again tomorrow and swear to take Cao Cao's head."
Yuan Shao's eyes immediately softened, and he nodded slightly to express his appreciation.
He didn't really want to blame Wen Chou just now, but he used a provocative method. Yuan Shao was not unaware of the fight between Wen Chou and Dian Wei. In terms of force alone, Wen Chou was indeed a little worse than Dian Wei.
It's not about a brave man. What Yuan Shao fears most is that Wen Chou loses confidence, so he speaks out to motivate the generals. From the current point of view, the effect of motivating the generals does not seem to be too bad!
Guo Jiayan said that Yuan Shao was lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, which was not a cause for concern.
Cao Cao said that Yuan Shao was nothing and he would be defeated sooner or later...
But this does not mean that Yuan Shao is really bad. As the overlord of Hebei and dominating the four states, Yuan Shao relies on more than just his background.
If he is said to be incompetent, then it depends on who he is compared to.
If compared with people like Cao ***, Yuan Shao may be a little worse.
But if compared with ordinary people, Yuan Shao can definitely be called an outstanding person.
Wen Chou was so excited that after retreating, he secretly clenched his fists and encouraged himself in his heart: Dian Wei is not terrible, Dian Wei is not terrible.
"Lord!"
Guo Tu suddenly said: "Tu has a plan, which may be able to inflict heavy damage on Cao's thieves."
"Oh? What's Gongze's clever plan?"
"In consecutive days of fighting, Cao's thieves lost troops and generals, and his morale was low.
The lord came to Yanjin in person, and he led the army of the king, with high morale. Looking at the sky tonight, it seems that heavy rain is coming. Why not take this opportunity to steal the camp and rob the stronghold, and we will definitely win a complete victory. I think that the lord can divide the troops.
On both sides, Changci and Junyi were ordered to pretend to attack the two wings of Cao's army to attract and contain Cao's rebel forces, and then the Lord personally led General Xin Yi to attack the center of Cao's army, which may lead to a successful battle."
Changci, named Gaolan.
Jun Yi is Zhang He.
Guo Tu's plan was not innocuous. He took advantage of the dark moon and high winds to pretend to attack the two wings. After attracting Cao Cao's attention, Yuan Shao led his troops to attack the central army.
Zhang He has a slim appearance and looks like a weak scholar.
Gao Lan, on the other hand, is stocky and strong, exuding a fierce spirit.
These two people, like Wen Chou, were both Hebei's Four Court Pillars, and they were among the best generals under Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval of this plan.
But Ju Shou stood up and said: "Cao Cao is suspicious by nature and likes to use surprise soldiers. Although Gongze's plan is clever, Cao Cao may not be able to see through it."
"It's better than not having a plan at all."
Guo Tu sneered and looked at Ju Shou with provocation in his eyes.
When crossing the river this time, Yuan Shao did not bring Feng Ji over, but ordered Feng Ji to stay in Liyang and help Yuan Shang. When Jushou heard this, he was immediately furious and said sternly: "What do you mean, Gongze?"
"I……"
"Okay, okay, no need to argue."
When Yuan Shao saw that Ju Shou and Guo Tu were about to quarrel, he couldn't help but feel a little headache, and quickly stood up to stop it.
"Gongze, this plan is very clever, I just want it."
As he said that, he looked at Jushou, which meant, do you think I am inferior to you? How can I not think of the things you can think of?
Jushou was still trying to defend himself, but suddenly he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.
Turning his head to look, he saw counselor Xu You shaking his head gently at him, indicating that he should stop persuading him.
If there is anyone who Jushu admires under Yuan Shao, it is Tian Feng, but now he is imprisoned by Yuan Shao in Yecheng Prison; the other half is Xu You. Because Xu You is not only senior to Jushou, but also has a good reputation.
He is also older than Jushu... In his early years, Benzhuyou was as famous as He Yong and others. Even Xun Shuang praised him quite a lot, and he was regarded as a famous person in the world.
As for Jushou, in comparison, he is not as strong as Xu You.
Xu You is a famous person in the world, while Jushou is only a famous person in Jizhou, and he is also a second minister.
Seeing Xu You shaking his head solemnly, Ju Shou fell silent.
When Yuan Shao saw that Ju Shou had stopped making any sound, he immediately became energetic and ordered Zhang He, Gao Lan, Wen Chou and three other people to prepare separately for when it rained heavily, which would be the time for him to sneak attack on Cao's camp.
"Ziyuan, why did you stop me?"
Xu You sighed, "The governor has not seen that my lord has made up his mind. Do you want to disobey him? You and I should keep Yuan Hao's lessons learned in mind."
If one were to say that Yuan Shao's first direct minister was Tian Feng.
However, Tian Feng spoke out several times to persuade Yuan Shao, even disobeying him with words, and was eventually thrown into prison.
Xu You's situation is not too good. After Yuan Shao crossed the river, Xu You's right to speak was obviously reduced a lot. Although Yan Liang's death had nothing to do with Xu You, Yuan Shao was still dissatisfied with him. Therefore, Xu You is now in Yuan Shao's army
In the middle, he is just a military advisor, that is, a counselor. Isn't there a saying in later generations? A counselor will not make a sound if he does not have a leader. Xu You's authority is not even as good as that of Ju Shu.
Jushou said: "But..."
"Captain, you are worrying too much.
In my opinion, although public policy is commonplace, it is not unreasonable. Let him give it a try. He may not lose if he fights, and Cao Cao is not a man of gods. After days of fighting, our army is already tired, let alone
It is equally sad to say that Cao Mengde traveled a long distance and fought continuously."
Thinking about it, it seems reasonable.
Jushou smiled bitterly, "Maybe I'm too careful."
"Be careful, you won't make a big mistake... Let's go back to my camp, let's go have a drink."
After Xu You said this, he took Jushu and left. Although Jushu was reluctant, he didn't want to offend Xu You, so he had to go with Xu You. Jushu was also a direct minister and a capable minister. In terms of strategy, he was even better than Xu You.
You. But he is indeed not as good as Xu You, because he lacks the tact and is more persistent. Therefore, Xu You's status in Yuan Shao's army is obviously higher than Jushou. It is not that Xu You is better than Jushou.
Strong, but it means that he knows how to be flexible, knows how to read people's faces, and figure out Yuan Shao's thoughts, so he can be like this.
The two returned to the small camp and drank to drown their sorrows.
Not long after, a thunder sounded from the cloudy sky.
Jushou quickly walked to the door of the small tent, looked at the flags fluttering in the camp, and said softly: "Ziyuan, it seems that the lord is about to attack!"
————————————————————————
Cao Cao was sitting in the military tent, holding a volume of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand, and was reading it with great interest.
He is good at reading, and even better at reading military books. I don’t know how many times he has read a volume of Sun Wu’s Thirteen Chapters, but he still feels that he is not bored.
Historical records record that Cao Cao never let go of his books, and even when he was marching and fighting, he would carry a large number of books with him.
At this time, there were stacks of books placed in the military tent.
Mr. Cao was watching with great interest when suddenly a gust of wind blew up the tent curtain and rolled into the Chinese army's tent from outside the tent. The flames of wax on both sides of the tent flickered and flickered, causing the tent to flicker on and off.
Mr. Cao couldn't help but feel unhappy. Just as he was about to shout, he saw Cao Bin leading someone to pull down the curtain.
"got windy?"
Mr. Cao put down the book and asked with a frown.
"Back to my lord, the wind is very strong."
Mr. Cao nodded, stood up and walked out of the tent...
I saw the army's big banners rustling in the strong wind, and the wind blew the sand so hard that it made it difficult to open one's eyes.
"Send the order and step up vigilance."
"Here!"
Just as Cao Bin was about to deliver the order, he suddenly heard a loud shout of death coming from a distance.
The wind was strong, but the shouting of killing was even louder.
Mr. Cao trembled with excitement and asked quickly: "Where are we fighting?"
"Report!"
Without waiting for Cao Bin to answer, a fast horse galloped over and stopped in front of the Chinese army's tent. Immediately, the small colonel rolled off his saddle and fell off the horse, kneeling on one knee, "Let me tell you, my lord, something bad has happened... General Le's camp encountered Yuan's army."
Robbery of the camp... General Zhang He Gao Lan of the Yuan Army is currently storming General Le's camp. General Le ordered the villain to come to ask for help, saying that Zhang He Gao Lan's attack was very fierce and he asked the lord to send reinforcements quickly."
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this and quickly called the soldiers.
"Wait a minute!"
I saw Xun You rushing over, "My lord, this must be Yuan Shaosheng's plan to attack the east and attack the west."
"oh?"
"If my lord's central army moves, Yuan Shao will definitely launch a fierce attack. In your opinion, Zhang He Gao Lan may not really attack. He only needs to send a team of troops to rescue, and Zhang He Gao Lan will retreat. My lord must hold the camp firmly to prevent Yuan's army from sneaking up on him.
Army... let the armed guards go to the rescue."
"That's what I want."
Mr. Cao was suddenly startled and suddenly woke up.
"Pass my order and order Xu Chu to lead the armed guards to rescue immediately."
After Xu Chu received the order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses to rush to the Lejin camp to help.
"Junming, Zihe, you two, be prepared to prevent Yuan Jun from stealing the camp."
Before he finished speaking, a commotion was heard outside the Chinese army's tent. Cao Jun shouted in a hissing voice: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, Yuan's army is sneaking into camp."
Sure enough!
Mr. Cao glanced at Xun You, "If it weren't for Gongda, I would have almost fallen into the trap... Jun Ming, prepare to meet the enemy."
Following Cao Cao's order, Dian Wei and others followed the order and left.
Sitting alone in the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao felt his heart pounding with fear. He took a deep breath and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Why is my lord laughing?"
Cao Bin looked nervous, but asked curiously.
Mr. Cao waved his hand, signaling Cao Bin to relax, "I'm laughing at you, but I still underestimated Yuan Benchu!"
At this time, outside Cao's camp, Yuan Shao led his army and approached directly.
He ordered Wen Chou as the vanguard, generals Han Juzi, Chunyu Qiong, Sui Yuanjin, and Wang Men as deputy generals. He led five thousand troops to attack the middle army of Cao's camp.
Yuan Shao led 8,000 troops, and the famous Hebei general Han Qiong supported the central army. General Zhong Jin, Zhong Shen and others followed, following closely behind the forward army...
This time, it seems that Yuan Shao is going to have a bloody battle with Cao Cao.
Yuan's army mobilized a total of fifty-four generals, which can be said to be an overwhelming force. Cao Cao did not expect that Yuan Shao would steal the camp so violently. Previously, although he ordered Yue Jin to garrison the small camp as his flank, he could respond from a distance. However,
Now that Le Jin was being restrained by Zhang He and Gao Lan, he was unable to protect himself, let alone respond to Cao Cao. Dian Wei, wearing heavy armor, carrying a pair of iron halberds, a long knife in one hand, and a big ax in the other, led Hu Ben to block the way.
Outside the camp gate of the Chinese army, he and Yuan Jun started a desperate fight. The long knife was made for him by Cao Ji himself. It could cut thirty pieces of armor with one knife and was extremely sharp. The big ax was also forged by Cao Ji and was very heavy.
It weighs more than forty kilograms.
This Dianwei was like a mad tiger. Wherever he swung his sword and axe, Yuan Jun's flesh and blood flew everywhere.
While fighting, he roared: "Evil is here, who dares to come and die?"
Dian Man followed closely beside Dian Wei, holding a big knife in his hand, which made the water impenetrable. The father and son joined forces to block the gate of Cao's camp. Although Yuan's soldiers were fierce, but under the desperate fight of the father and son,
, it was difficult to rush into the camp gate for a while.
Wen Chou saw Dian Wei from a distance and was furious.
"Don't be arrogant when evil comes, I will fight you."
But before Wen Chou could finish his words, Sui Yuan entered the king's gate, Han Juzi and three other people urged their horses to rush forward at the same time, "Why do you need to trouble General? We can do it for you. General, just break into the camp."
Although the three generals are not as good as the Hebei Sitingzhu, they are also rare and powerful generals in the Yuan army.
They were one on one, no match for Dian Wei, but the three of them came together, and with trembling thoughts, Dian Wei was unable to do anything for a while. In the distance, Yuan's army swarmed in, and Yuan Shao's army was already approaching.
Outside the camp gate, the two brothers Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen rushed over without saying a word, and joined forces with Sui Yuanjin and three others to fight Dian Wei. These five people all had the intention of not fighting Dian Wei, and only held Dian Wei firmly.
Dianwei was so angry that he screamed loudly, but he was also a little troubled by the rogue tactics of these five people...
Wen Chou urged his horse to charge towards Dian Man, and slashed him with his wheel knife.
Noriman has made great progress in the past two years, but there are still some shortcomings if he wants to compete with Wen Chou.
In just two or three rounds, Noriman was killed and he was sweating profusely and panting...
At the same time, Yuan Shao was under his command, pointing his sword at the camp of Cao's army, and shouted sternly: "My sons, whoever takes the head of Cao's thief will be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households and paid ten thousand gold."
"kill!"
Yuan Jun's troops rushed towards Cao Jun's camp as if they were beaten to death.
At this time, Cao Cao was also wearing a helmet and holding a sword, commanding his troops to face the enemy...
The wind is getting stronger and stronger!
Cao Jun was slightly defeated by Yuan Jun's fierce attack.
But at this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "Lord, something bad is going on... There's a fire in Yanjin, and our camp is under enemy attack."
Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this.
He quickly turned around and saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of Yanjin Camp!
