On the seventh day after Taishi Ci's army withdrew to Chengyang, Jia Xu, who was in Pengcheng, finally received a report from the front line.
Jia Xu, who was sitting at home enjoying tea, suddenly couldn't sit still after receiving the news from Qingzhou.
Hebei sent troops? Attacked Anqiu? Now Taishi Ci has led his troops to retreat to Chengyang?
Damn it, why would Yuan Shao send troops to Qingzhou at this time? Could it be that someone leaked to him the movement of troops from Chu State?
Obviously, the smarter a person is, the more complicated they tend to think about simple things.
Because changes occurred in Qingzhou at such a critical moment, Jia Xu became suspicious.
"Pei Yuanshao, immediately order domestic spies to investigate this matter thoroughly. If anyone is found who dares to leak military information, kill him!"
In Jia Xu's opinion, this leak of military information far exceeded the situation in Qingzhou.
After all, Qingzhou also has the entire Chengyang County as a buffer, so it is not difficult to hold back the Hebei Army.
But if there is really a traitor who leaks military information to Yuan Shao, then the problem will be huge.
If this is the case, then not only will Yuan Shao know that Chu's military strength in Xuzhou is currently empty, but he will also learn about the movements of Lu Meng's army.
You must know that the elite troops of Chu State led by Lu Meng were second only to Xiang Jiajun.
If all this army is lost in Yanzhou, then Chu State may not be able to recover in a short time.
While Jia Xu was busy investigating the unfounded spies in the country, Lu Meng, who was worried about him, also successfully led his troops across the Yellow River.
"Shuai Lu, where are we going now? Are we directly cooperating with Cao Jun to attack Yuan Shao's logistics?"
After crossing the Yellow River safely, as Lu Meng's lieutenant, Zhang Heng couldn't help but be curious about his commander's plans.
Didn't you agree with Cao Cao before that they would raid Yuan Shao's logistics together? Why did the commander-in-chief delay taking action after arriving in Hebei?
"Zhang Heng, don't worry, we are not going anywhere, we will just stay here and wait."
Wait? Zhang Heng, whose IQ was slightly behind, was confused.
What are you waiting for? Who are you waiting for? We spent so much effort crossing the Yellow River, and then we came here just to see the scenery?
Looking at Zhang Heng with a blank look on his face, Lu Meng didn't bother to explain him.
You know, Yuan Shao's Liyang camp still has nearly half a million troops.
Now if Lu Meng launches the attack first, will Liyang Camp, which is very close, not respond?
He was afraid that if the Hebei cavalry came galloping, Lu Meng would not be able to retreat to the Taihang Mountains in time.
Now, Lu Meng could only wait for news from Cao Cao of the Eastern Route Army.
As long as he moved and attracted Yuan Shao's attention, Lu Meng would dare to take action.
Now, Cao Cao, whom Lu Meng was looking forward to, is also waiting.
Yes, Cao Cao is waiting too.
However, what Cao Cao was waiting for was not Lu Meng, nor the Hebei Army at Liyang Camp, but a grain transport convoy that appeared at the end of his field of vision.
"We're finally here! Send an order to the entire army to make a surprise attack! Don't leave a single person alive!"
After waiting for several days, Cao Cao finally got the food transport convoy coming from the direction of Yecheng.
With the current situation, it would be impossible for him to go head-to-head with Yuan Shao.
But it would be too much for Cao Cao to attack the city in order to attract the attention of Yuan Shao's Liyang camp.
After all, Cao Cao only crossed the river with 50,000 troops.
This is not the time when Jia Xu went to Yanzhou.
At that time, Jia Xu went to Yanzhou to destroy the city all the way, because Cao Cao's army was not there and could not get back in time.
Now, there are tens of thousands of cavalry in Yuan Shao's Liyang camp.
As soon as you receive the information, it will arrive instantly.
Cao Cao didn't want his side to be attacking the city, and Yuan Shao would take advantage of him and make dumplings.
Attacking the city cannot be attacked, and harassing the nearby villages will have little impact on the Hebei army. I am afraid that it will not be able to lure Yuan Shao's large army.
Then there won't be much choice left for Cao Cao.
Stealing food was the strategy chosen by Cao Cao.
After all, there are more than 500,000 troops stationed in the Liyang camp. How much does it cost in a day if people eat horse chews?
As long as Yuan Shao's food road can be cut off, even if it is just one food road, the impact on him will be huge.
"Kill!"
The Hebei military supply team was stunned by the sudden attack of Cao Jun.
No matter how they thought about it, they would never imagine that enemy troops would appear behind them.
You know, in the Battle of Guandu for more than a year, it was the Hebei Army that suppressed Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army.
If it weren't for the counselors of several boys from the Yuan family, who were holding each other back, the Hebei army would have crossed the Yellow River and swept into Yanzhou.
But now, what is going on? When the Qi King's army was suppressing Guandu, a large number of enemy troops appeared in the safe rear.
"Quick! Form a formation, cavalry, break out immediately, go to Liyang for help!"
The person responsible for escorting the grain and grass transportation was also a veteran of the Hebei Army, and his ability to adapt to situations was no problem.
But the problem is, his opponent is Cao Cao!
"Yuan Rang, I will leave this person to you."
Discovering that the Hebei Army actually began to resist under the command of that general, Cao Cao gave the order decisively.
Is that the command? Then I will directly send the general to take down your commander.
You must know that now that the Hebei army has lost Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Xiahou Dun's military force is superior to that of the generals in Hebei.
Now, only Zhang He from Hebei can still fight Xiahou Dun, but the others? I really can't see enough.
Therefore, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to kill the general, which was a hundred peace of mind.
"Xiahou Dun is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Before patting the horse, Xiahou Dun attacked and killed the general who was still directing the formation of the Hebei army.
Along the way, Hebei troops kept trying to intercept Xiahou Dun who was charging forward.
But how could ordinary soldiers pose a threat to generals like Xiahou Dun?
The spear in his hand stabbed out repeatedly, taking away the names of several Hebei soldiers in an instant.
Under the heroic leadership of Xiahou Dun, Cao's army became more morale and furiously attacked the panicked Hebei army.
"Jiang Yiqu is here, the thieves will stop being rampant!"
Jiang Yiqu was furious when he found that the position his army had finally managed to stabilize was broken by Xiahou Dun in one charge.
Do you really think I have no one in Hebei?
"I'm waiting for you!"
Xiahou Dun was overjoyed when he saw the Hebei army general going into battle, "I am waiting for you!"
Not talking nonsense, he swung his spear in his hand and knocked away the two Hebei soldiers blocking his way. Xiahou Dun rushed forward with his horse in a frenzy.
"Well done!"
Jiang Yiqu relied on his bravery and was not afraid of Xiahou Dun, who was rushing towards him.
What's Xiahou Dun? Wasn't he beaten by Na Wen Chou earlier and made him sick for half a year?
I heard that everyone has become a consumption ghost now, what else is there to be afraid of?
He waved the sword in his hand and rushed towards Xiahou Dun.
"ah!"
However, with limited strength, Jiang Yiqu experienced what it means to have a heart as high as the sky and a life as thin as paper. This is the true meaning of this sentence.
