"The prime minister is mighty - invincible!"

"The prime minister is mighty - invincible!"

…………………………

The jade rabbit fell westward, the stars retreated, the golden crow was born in the east, the purple gas was permeated, after the sky was brightened, the fire that burned all night, and finally slowly extinguished, with the help of reinforcements, the Cao army won a complete victory, annihilated the Wuchao defenders, burned all the grain, forage, after the end of the war, the soldiers waved swords and guns, cheered for victory, and rushed straight to the sky!

"Haha! --All rely on the soldiers' lives, and the party uses the black nest to win! ”

On the battlefield with thick smoke wafting, Cao Cao rode a thousand miles of horses, holding a sword that leaned on the sky, wearing a bloodstained coat, with his two sons - Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, galloping vertically and horizontally, waving his arms, accepting the cheers of the soldiers, after countless hardships and countless blood, he finally won this battle!

A night of bloody fighting, the results were extremely brilliant, beheading 15,000 people, capturing more than 7,000 people, and the rest rushed into Wuchaoze, except for a few lucky people, most of them died in the mud, in addition, one of the four generals of Hebei - Chun Yuqiong, as well as more than a dozen generals and captains, also became prisoners of the Cao army, the next step, is how to deal with these people?

After a little muttering, Cao Cao immediately ordered: cut off Chun Yuqiong's ears, nose, fingers, shirtless body, painted his face with ink, and engraved the words 'Wuchao drunkard' on his back, and humiliated him fiercely, and the rest of the captives did the same, after cutting off their hair, ears and noses, they were all released to the Yuan army camp, and at the same time let them bring a sentence: "The original old man, dare to fight again?" ”

It's not that Cao Cao is ruthless, the battlefield situation is special, and there is no other choice to stay: the people are not convinced, it is difficult to discipline, and food is consumed; Put it back: After rectification, go to the battlefield again and add the opponent's troops, is it really a dilemma?

I can't keep it, I can't let it go, and in desperation, I have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, just like the historical record: the Battle of Changping - Baiqikeng killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, and the Battle of Julu - Xiang Yukeng killed 200,000 Qin troops...... It's the truest portrayal, and now after some humiliation, it's already a merciful move to let them return to the camp alive!

In addition, Yuan Shao is polite and polite, he has always been the best face, and after being humiliated like this, he will inevitably retaliate like crazy, as a commander of a large army, as long as he can't control his emotions, he will not be far from extinction, as for ordinary soldiers, seeing the tragic fate of his companions, he must be frightened, and he has no intention of fighting anymore!

"Brush! -Brush! -Brush! ”

The soldiers of the Cao army moved quickly, and they all raised their knives and fell, cut off the ears and noses of the captives, filled a few bags of hemp, and prepared to take them back to show off, according to the rules of the battlefield, these things are the same as human heads, which can be recorded as meritorious deeds, and used in exchange for good land, houses, and slaves!

"The soldiers of all departments listen to the order, organize the formation, and return to the camp, we still have to fight!"

The land of right and wrong, you can't stay for a long time, Cao Cao reorganized his men and horses, and prepared to return to Guandu, where the fighting was very fierce, and he just needed reinforcements!

However, before returning to the division, Cao Jun left some flags, blades, and armor, and put them in several large piles, Cao Cao took off the golden scale helmet and threw it on the battlefield, which was a 'gift' left for Jiang Qi, so that the family would go back to make a good deal, this key chess piece will be of great use in the future!

…………………………………………………………………………………………

"Woo! …… Woo! …… Woo!

On the battlefield of Guandu, people shouted horses neighing, the sound of killing shook the sky, Cao and Yuan's two armies fought desperately, repeatedly tug-of-war, and were fighting for a barrier, after hearing the sound of the horn, the Yuan army, which was violently attacking, suddenly retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses and bones all over the ground, layer upon layer, blood gathered together, and a stream was formed, which was really miserable!

Last night, taking advantage of Cao Cao's heading to Wuchao and the emptiness of the camp, Zhang He and Gao Ran commanded 100,000 heavy troops to storm the Guandu defense line.

On the contrary, the Cao army is united, everyone fights bravely, when it is most dangerous, even the horsemen, miscellaneous servants, and gang leaders are on the battlefield, at all costs, the enemy army is driven out, the two sides fought all night, the defense line changed hands repeatedly, the casualties were extremely heavy, there was no spare strength, it can be said that whoever arrives first will be able to win!

"My lord! …… Why don't you send reinforcements, why don't you send reinforcements? ”

Zhang He and Gao Ran sent more than a dozen messengers, constantly returning to the camp to ask for reinforcements, it is best to transfer a part of the halberd soldiers, with the strongest hoplites, break through the barrier of the Cao army, such a big thing can be done!

As a result, every time I get the answer: 'There are no soldiers to send, think of your own plan!' ’…… As for the Euphorbia, they need to protect the safety of the lord, and not a single soldier can come!

A handsome and incompetent, tired of thousands of troops, think about Cao Cao, the prime minister who went to the black nest and fought bloodily, and then look at the indecisive lord of his own house hiding in the big camp, Zhang He and Gao Ran couldn't help but smile relatively bitterly, I really envy the soldiers of the Cao army, there is a lion-like commander!

"Boom! …… Boom! …… Boom! ”

"Wan Sheng! …… Wansheng! …… Prime Minister Wansheng! ”

At dawn - in the northeast direction, the war drums were like thunder, shouting to kill the sky, and tens of thousands of elite men and horses rushed over, holding an apricot yellow 'Cao' character handsome flag, which was Cao Cao's reinforcement division...... Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Yuan army all understood - the black nest is lost, and the big thing is gone!

To see that the general trend has gone, Zhang He and Gao Ran gathered their troops while Mingjin, quickly reorganized their men and horses, and prepared to retreat on the whole front; On the one hand, he sent someone to contact Yuan Tan, hoping that the two armies would converge and cover each other alternately, so that they could return to the camp!

Who knows, Yuan Dagongzi can't fight, but escape is first-class, after learning that Cao Cao returned to the division, he threw down his subordinates who were still fighting, and he slipped away directly, Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to counterattack, chased and killed more than 20 miles, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and seized weapons, armor, and banners...... Countless, and then led a team of men and horses to come to the aid of the officer!

At the same time, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led the men and horses, and also killed the Guandu camp, and together with the other two people, they formed a huge net, preparing to encircle the 100,000 heavy troops of the Yuan army!

"Long! …… Prosperous! Prosperous! ”

……………………

The soldiers of the Yuan army fought bloodily all night, they were already exhausted, how to resist the three roads of Cao's army, in an instant, the army collapsed, the soldiers scattered and fled, weapons, armor, banners ...... Countless are discarded, like a river bursting its banks, and no one can control the situation!

The matter has come to this, there is no power to return to the sky, Zhang He and Gao Ran took off their armor, mixed in the chaotic army, fought bravely, and finally broke out of the encirclement, but the 100,000 horses under their command were either killed on the battlefield, or abandoned the blade and surrendered, and there were really few people who could escape from the ascension!

After the end of the war, Cao Jun sang a triumphant song, lined up to return to the camp to rest, and that night, Cao Cao set up a feast to reward a number of meritorious generals, or officials, or field houses...... Shot heroically, everyone was happy, especially the Ao Cang guard general - Zhang Xiu, who fought desperately, Cao Cao took off his brocade robe and armor, which can be described as the highest glory!

At this point, the sneak attack on Wuchao was successful, burning the enemy's grain and grass, and killing and capturing 100,000 people of the Yuan army, and the initiative of the Guandu battlefield finally fell into the hands of Cao Jun.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Zhang He, Gao Ran's incompetent, lost many soldiers and horses, and still have the face to come to see me, Yuan Tan, the rebel, is angry with the old man...... Ay! ”

In the Yuan army camp - in the tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao jumped like thunder, pulled out a sword, and cut seven or eight attendants in a row, venting the resentment in his heart!

Three roads of men and horses attacked, two roads were defeated, more than 100,000 people and horses were killed and wounded, and a large number of weapons, armor, war horses ......, such a huge loss, so that Yuan Shao's heartache, liver pain, headache...... It hurts everywhere!

The only thing that is gratifying is that Jiang Qi has soldiers and horses all the way, because of the barrier of the swamp, he failed to save the Wuchao grain and grass, but the people fought a big battle, thwarted the spirit of Cao's army, and captured a large number of flags, ordnance, and a golden helmet, which is said to have been cut off from Cao Cao's head, but unfortunately the blade is an inch higher, otherwise......

After thinking about it repeatedly, Yuan Shao decided: 'Reward the heroes and punish the defeated generals', so that everyone can see that he has both compassion and thunderbolt means to boost the morale of the army......

Jiang Qi made meritorious contributions to the rescue of Wuchao, and captured the helmet of the Cao thief, boosted the morale of the army, and crowned the 'General Zhenwei', rewarded 5,000 taels of gold, and 300 maidservants...... As a reward, another 30,000 horses were allocated and placed under the command of his subordinates!

Zhang He and Gao Ran commanded incompetently, buried the lives of the soldiers, and should have been beheaded to show the public, but on top of the past merits, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, each fighting a hundred military sticks, and the official was demoted to three levels, so as to wait for the guilty body and stay in the army to serve!

As for the eldest son Yuan Tan, after all, he is his own son, and he is reluctant to fight or punish, Yuan Shao is deeply responsible for it with words, and then...... There will be no follow-up, continue to command the people and horses, and be a blessing!

As for the defeated soldiers of Wuchao, they were punished the most severely, Chun Yuqiong threw them into the wine urn and drowned them alive, making him a 'drunkard' completely, and the remaining dozen generals and captains were all beheaded and hung in the gate to show the public, and the seven thousand defeated soldiers without noses were all demoted to grooms, miscellaneous servants, and gang leaders...... Serve as a coolie in the army!

Overnight, the black nest was lost, the grain and grass were burned, the soldiers were hungry and wailing, and the people were panicked.

After a big defeat, the army's heart is uneasy, as long as Yuan Shao orders the retreat, hundreds of thousands of horses will turn around and run, scramble for the road, do not listen to the command, retreat into rout, rout into rout, out of control......

What's even more depressing is that the Yuan army does not occupy the land, the location of their camp, the east is connected to the chasm, the west is close to the water, and the back is the Yellow River, no matter where the troops retreat, they will be blocked by the river.

In desperation, Yuan Shao convened the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures in the Chinese military account, and after some quarrels and debates, he finally made three decisions:

First: rectify the men and horses, stick to the barriers, and do not retreat for the time being, so as not to take advantage of the situation of the Cao army to chase and kill, resulting in the consequences of the rout of the whole army!

Second: Immediately send an order to Liyang City, let Yuan Xi allocate 50,000 loads of grain and grass, and send it to the camp as soon as possible, so as not to make the army uneasy!

Third: Send an envoy to Cao Ying to sue for peace with heavy profits, so as to paralyze Cao Cao's heart and gain a buffer time!

In addition, Yuan Shao also has an expectation, that is, Liu Bei, who carries a heavy gift, as long as he can persuade Jingzhou to send troops and attack Xuchang City from behind, the battle will be reversed, and he still has hope of winning--- "Big ears Ah Fu, where are you?" ”
