Seven hundred and forty seventh chapter seven road attack
Yuan Shao now hates Zhang He from the bottom of his heart.
He estimated that Zhang He did not surrender to the pottery merchant, but in order to survive, he and the pottery merchant must have reached some kind of agreement, such as exchanging the truth about Cao Song's death for his own life.
People who trade their lord's secrets with their enemies are, to a certain extent, more abhorrent than rebellion!
Just when Yuan Shao was getting more and more angry, the cronies he sent out to investigate in the camp brought back the news, saying that Guo Tu's previous advice to Yuan Shao was not fabricated out of thin air. During this period of time, Zhang He
Indeed, he and several fellow generals told them to be careful because of the strength of the Jinling Army.
Under normal circumstances, Yuan Shao would only need to take a moment or call Zhang He over to ask questions, and he would know that he actually had good intentions. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was basically confused now, and he felt sorry for Zhang He in his heart.
His opinions were too big, and any negative information about Zhang He would affect his normal thoughts.
At this moment, Zhang He's position in his heart was completely gone.
But Yuan Shao couldn't deal with Zhang He openly... After all, the incident of killing Cao Cao's father was the same as his collusion with Wu Huan to kill the emperor. He couldn't speak on the stage. If Zhang He was dealt with because of this incident, then
Even if he completely admitted his crime and injustice in this matter.
At that time, the Yuan family will be slandered and questioned again because of Yuan Shao.
Yuan's reputation can no longer experience any turmoil.
However, Yuan Shao is the lord after all, and Zhang He is the general after all. The lord cannot deal with him this time, but sooner or later there will be a chance to find trouble and punish him.
Zhang He's little shoes are finally worn this time.
…
At the same time that Handan was captured, Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, and Kebineng of Xianbei also responded to Yuan Shao by sending troops at the same time, which was in line with Guo Jia's plan.
The Black Mountain Army turned north and, under the leadership of Guo Jia and Zhang Yan, approached Gongsundu, while Sima Yi and Zhao Yun urged the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan to turn their troops to confront Xianbei.
As a result, in the land of Jizhou, after a period of division and collision, it finally became a one-on-one situation between the pottery merchants and Yuan Shao.
After the defeat of Zhang He and Guo Yuan, Qian Zhao was isolated and helpless, unable to face the powerful Jinling troops of the pottery merchants, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
The pottery merchants immediately successfully captured Handan City. The next step was to send troops to Wei County to capture Ye City.
But at this time, the main force of Yuan's army in Hebei, the powerful Yuan Shao's army, finally stood in front of him.
This time, unlike the Battle of Guandu, Tao Shang will no longer have the help of Cao Cao's army. He will be alone and rely on his strength to defeat Yuan Shao head-on.
The pottery merchant also made up his mind not to play tricks with Yuan Shao, but to give Yuan Shao a thunderous blow head-on.
At that moment, the pottery merchants held a military meeting.
"Yuan Shao's stronghold is now standing between our army and Ye City. With just this final blow, we can defeat Yuan Shao and occupy Ye City, an important city in the world... When I sent Guo Yuan back some time ago, I said
I asked him to bring a letter of challenge to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Benchu has not responded yet. It seems that he is not planning to take the initiative to attack... If he doesn't take the initiative, then we will take the initiative to fight!"
Xu Chu stepped forward excitedly and said: "Prime Minister, what bad moves can you use against Yuan Shao this time?"
This is really not pleasant to say!
If he hadn't just said that because he was a direct descendant of the pottery merchant, the pottery merchant would have beaten him to death outside the school grounds with a cane.
"Zhongkang, when you speak next time... can you use your words more accurately?" The potter patiently taught him: "For example, when you say the word 'harmful move', I feel that it is not appropriate to use it. Can you
Describe it as a 'brilliant idea'?"
Xu Chu didn't quite understand what the potter meant.
"Prime Minister, don't the words 'harmful move' and 'clever plan' mean the same thing?"
The potter closed his eyes helplessly and said: "These two words will mean the same thing two thousand years later, but you just can't say it like that! This is a rule!"
Xu Chu said "Oh" and changed his words: "May I ask the Prime Minister if you have any clever ideas?"
Tao Shang shook his head and said: "There is no clever plan. I just want to attack from the front and overwhelm Yuan Shao with strength."
All the generals couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.
Xu Huang, an old man, stepped out of the squad and said, "Prime Minister, Yuan Shao's troops are twice as many as ours, and there are hundreds of generals. A head-on confrontation, isn't it a bit overwhelming?"
Tao Shang raised his hand and said: "If it were two or three years ago, I would never be arrogant enough to think that we could defeat Yuan Shao's main force on the battlefield. But the situation is different now. In the Battle of Hebei, Yuan Shao's
The partial division has suffered repeated setbacks, and now it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Over the years, all of Yuan's actions have been unpopular, and they have resorted to militarism, losing the support of the nobles and the common people. However, the strength of our army is growing every year, which is the final
The missing war horses are now enough... one goes and the other goes, now is a good time to face off against Yuan Shao."
Tao Shang paused and said: "Although Yuan Shao has twice as many soldiers and horses as us, our army is elite and has many fierce generals, and the weapons and armor are also superior to his troops. I have so much confidence in all the generals.
Don’t you have confidence in yourself?”
Taishi Ci, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Qu Yi, A Fei, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Zang Ba and others all took a deep breath when they heard this.
The Prime Minister is so arrogant, if we are timid, wouldn't we be living up to the name of a good general?
Isn't it just Yuan Jun? So what if there are many?
At that moment, Xu Chuhao said: "What the Prime Minister said is true! Don't worry, this time a certain family will fight with all their strength. Even if there is only one soldier left in the battle, they will never retreat even half a step, vowing to fight Yuan Shao to the death."
Fight to the end.”
In the commander's tent, Tao Shang was silent for a while, and then he said quietly: "There is no need to fight until there is only one soldier left. If you see that the opponent is too strong and nothing can be done, you should withdraw anyway...
Don’t wipe out all the wealth Tao has saved for so many years.”
The pride that the generals had just been inspired by suddenly evaporated in an instant.
The force is gone.
Tao Shang ordered someone to take the map and said: "I have asked the school affairs office to find out clearly. Yuan Shao's current main camp is divided into seven camps, and a total of six close men are assigned to guard them, namely Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Yuan Tan,
Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong, and Yuan Shao himself. Each camp has nearly a hundred generals and lieutenants. Their strength cannot be underestimated. I have also divided into seven formations and selected seven generals to lead them to attack separately.
Each camp."
After saying that, Tao Shang looked around the generals and said: "Tai Shi Ci, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Qu Yi, Zhou Tai... Each of you six is responsible for attacking one battalion. I will meet the other generals later."
It is assigned to your subordinates and depends on your control. This battle is very critical. Before you leave, you must sign a military order for Tao. Do you understand?"
"promise!"
Xu Chu and A Fei were very dissatisfied when they saw that the leader did not have their share, and that the pottery merchant had only appointed six people.
Ah Fei said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, is there another army?"
Tao Shang said calmly: "I will personally lead the Seventh Army."
Gan Ning suddenly said: "The Prime Minister plans to personally lead the troops to attack the main camp guarded by Yuan Shao?"
Tao Shang shook his head and said: "I will lead the troops to attack the battalion led by Yuan Tan... As for Yuan Shao's battalion..."
The pottery merchant turned to look at Qu Yi and said, "Leave it to General Qu."
