Chapter 50: The Battle of Guandu (2)

"Now that the army can only last more than a month, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, if there is no good opportunity in the battle of Guandu, we may be defeated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Cao Cao said calmly, and the subordinates were not calm.

Cao Ren took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "The lord and I lead the army to raid, as long as I tear open a hole in Yuan Shao's camp, General Xiahou Yuan's cavalry can enter, and if you go straight to Yuan Shao's camp like this, you can break it in one fell swoop." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "General Cao Ren's strategy is good, but it's a pity that Yuan Shao's camp is as solid as a rock, let alone tearing a hole, I'm afraid that our soldiers will be pierced through the heart by random arrows before they get close, don't talk about this plan." ”

Cao Ren snorted, although he was not happy with Guo Jia's opposition, but he also knew very well that the other party was unparalleled in wisdom, and he said that if he didn't do it, it would probably not work, so after humming, he looked at Yuan Yun behind Xiahoudun again.

Cao Ren's eyes rolled and he sneered: "It is said that Yuan Hou and the Gunpowder Army of Shizi are the most suitable for attacking fortifications, it is better to let the Gunpowder Army take the lead, and Yuan Shao's defense line will definitely be torn apart." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, Lao Tzu hasn't settled old accounts with you Cao Ren, but you jumped out by yourself, damn, it's really bad luck.

However, Cao Ren's position in the army is already different, and he has made a lot of great achievements in dealing with Yuan Shao this time, seizing Hanoi, cutting down the solids, and burning Yuan Shao's grain and grass, so he is naturally very confident in speaking.

However, Yuan Yun still felt that this Cao Ren was very much of an eyesore, so he bowed and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Sikong, the front-line war is naturally important now, but we must also beware of our backs, in case someone sneaks up, let alone tear apart Yuan Shao's defense line, I'm afraid that we will be attacked from both sides before we launch." ”

Cao Ren was furious when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "How can you talk nonsense to disturb the hearts of our army, you should drag this son out and behead him to make an example!" ”

Cao Cao was very calm, since Yuan Yun said so, it must not be untargeted, so he pointed at Yuan Yun and said: "Since you say so, you know something, if you can't come up with a reason, you have to pull out and play the board." ”

Cao Ren was also overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately continued: "How can the big tent discuss nonsense, it should be pulled out to play the board now." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Cao Ren with a smile and said, "General Cao Ren has always had good luck, he got Hanoi, and he happened to meet the escaped Zhenggu, and he ended up with a good head, but I don't know if you have such good luck and dare to bet with the kid?" ”

Cao Ren heard Yuan Yun say all his credit as luck, he was furious and said, "When have I, Cao Ren, been afraid, what do you want to bet on!" ”

Cao Cao wanted to remind Cao Ren when he heard this, after all, Yuan Yun was calm at the moment, if he hadn't had the bottom in his heart, this bastard kid would never have jumped out to cause trouble, but Cao Ren agreed too quickly and didn't stop him, so he could only sit in silence and wait for Cao Ren to be unlucky.

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Just now Cao Sikong said that he wanted to play the board, so let's bet on who loses and who will take the board, how about it?" ”

Cao Ren snorted heavily and said, "That's right!" Tell me, why do you want to talk nonsense in the army and mess with our army's heart? If you can't say it, this board will be executed by Lao Tzu himself! ”

Yuan Yun shrugged, glanced at the princes in the audience, and then replied lightly: "Yuan Shao has ordered Liu Bei to go to Runan, have you already guessed Liu Bei's intention to go to Runan?" ”

Everyone was shocked when these words came out, only Cao Cao remained calm, but his eyes narrowed again, and the cold light continued to flicker from the middle.

For a while, he retained some mercy to Liu Bei, but it led to so many troublesome consequences, first Xuzhou was seized, the general Che Zhou was killed, and then he had to go to Runan to incite the people's rebellion, which Liu Bei was really hateful, but it was too late to regret it.

"Is that true?" Xun Yu asked cautiously.

"Nonsense!" Cao Ren hurriedly rushed to the road.

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Ren and Yuan Yun, and said with a smile: "Although Yuan Xiaoxian likes to mess around, he never dares to talk nonsense about big things, and this matter can be taken seriously." ”

Yuan Yun then continued: "When I was in the north, I already had these news, Liu Bei will inevitably go to Runan, and at this moment my spy came to report that he was already on his way." ”

Cao Ren still grabbed Bai and said: "You have been in the north for such a short time, how can there be spies, is Yuan Shao blind, knowing that your kid is in the territory, how can he still let you do nonsense?" ”

As soon as Cao Ren's words came out, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, the news that Yuan Yun went to the four northern states was spread by him, this is a big secret, and now he said it in public, isn't it the same as not confessing to himself?

Just when Cao Ren was surprised, an inconspicuous entourage walked into the military tent and went directly to Cao Cao's side very boldly, and the guards and generals did not stop him.

The entourage came to Cao Cao's side and whispered a few words, and before he finished speaking, he heard Cao Cao say: "Don't whisper, just say it directly, let everyone present listen." ”

The entourage saluted slightly, and then said aloud into the big tent: "The spies came to report, Liu Bei led the army to attack the counties of Wei and Qiang, and many counties responded to it. So that in the land south of the capital of Zixu, the people were very troubled. ”

This time, the princes in the audience were shocked again, and the land of Runan was in chaos, and Xu Du would immediately fall into danger, which was definitely a big disaster.

Cao Ren was silent for a moment, and suddenly clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said: "The southern counties think that our army is currently in an urgent need to cross the border and cannot rescue them, but Liu Bei is pressing the border with a large army at this time, and their betrayal is a normal thing." But Liu Bei had just led Yuan Shao's soldiers, but they had not been able to use them, and they could be broken with one blow. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, but did not express any opinion.

Yuan Yun smiled again and said: "General Cao Ren said it thoroughly, it is better to bother the general to go and quell the chaos, as soon as the general arrives, Liu Bei will inevitably hug his head and run away, but the war on the side of Guandu, you have no part in it." ”

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he was secretly proud, Cao Ren is indeed a fierce general, and he has made too many meritorious contributions, if it goes on like this, Yuan Mansion will not dismantle this goods in the future, so it is best to send him to deal with Liu Bei, so that the big victory of Guandu will not have anything to do with him Cao Ren.

And Liu Bei is now bound to lose in every battle, even if Cao Ren wins, not many people will think that Cao Ren has much ability, and his prestige will not be improved much, and it will not make him continue to grow bigger, and finally come to bully himself.

Cao Cao was also a little annoyed at this moment that Cao Ren had leaked the news that Yuan Yun was trapped in the north, so he happily ordered: "Runan will hand it over to Zixiao to pacify, and I will take your headquarters to go today, but you can only win and not be defeated!" ”

Cao Ren's heart was not as far as Yuan Yun thought, now Guandu is very stalemate here, and the war is also very difficult, he feels that there is no war to be gained by staying here, it is better to pacify Liu Bei, a perennial loser, whether it is a big victory or a small victory, it is better than spending money in Guandu.

So Cao Ren arched his hand and said, "No! ”

Just as he was about to walk out of the military tent, Cao Cao suddenly added, saying: "Twenty military sticks are indispensable, Zixiao don't forget to make a bet with Yuan Hou." ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the whole audience, including Yuan Yun, trembled in their hearts.

It seems that Cao Sikong, who is on the main seat, is really angry with Cao Ren, after all, he once issued a strict order not to leak the news that Yuan Yun is trapped in the north, Cao Ren is so disobedient, this kind of thing is unacceptable to Cao Cao no matter what.

At this time, only Xiahoudun in front of him sighed lightly, but glanced at Yuan Yun behind him sympathetically.

Yuan Yun was stunned, he didn't know how this veteran could show such an expression, but at the moment he was in the big tent, it was inconvenient to ask directly, and he was thinking for a while that he was going to move to Xiahoudun's camp anyway, and he was asking at that time.

Although Cao Ren always did not deal with Yuan Yun, he was also a tough guy, and after receiving Cao Cao's order, he immediately went outside the camp tent, and the sound of sticks came from a short time.

The soldier who made the attack did not seem to have any hands left, and each blow was very strong, and the sound of the club could even be heard in the big tent.

Cao Cao's face did not change at all, even if these sticks were hit on his younger brother, he did not have any sympathy and regret.

Looking at the person sitting down, Cao Cao suddenly said: "If you have been confronting Yuan Shao in Guandu, there is no benefit to our army, and only by finding another way can we break the deadlock at this time." ”

Guo Jia seemed to have already made a decision, and when he heard the words, he took a step forward and said: "Now that I have received the news, Yuan Shao has hoarded all the grain and grass in the black nest forty miles behind the camp, as long as this batch of materials can be burned, Yuan Shao's army will immediately run out of food, and it will inevitably collapse without a fight." ”

Xun You and Cheng Yu immediately stepped forward together and said, "This plan is wonderful!" ”

The generals also clasped their fists together and said, "I wish to listen to the arrangement of the lord!" ”

Cao Cao was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and even got up and left his seat directly, and then said with a smile: "Cao Hong and Xun Yu stayed in the camp, and the generals returned to their camps to prevent Yuan Shao's raid. ”

Hearing this, Le Jin took a step forward with some concern and said, "The last general is willing to go with the lord!" ”

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and then began to make specific arrangements, and all the generals also gathered around the sandbox and began to arrange various troops.

Yuan Yun had nothing to do at the moment, remembering Xiahou Xuan's eyes just now, so he leaned closer before whispering: "Uncle Xiahou, Cao Ren was beaten by the board just now, why do you always look at me with sympathetic eyes?" ”

Xiahou saw that the people around him were all by the sandbox, so he patted Yuan Yun on the shoulder and said: "The lord is still a little selfish, Cao Ren leaked your news in the north, this is a capital crime, after all, the lord gave a strict order, but he dared to openly disobey it, and now the lord is only twenty military sticks, and he is still helping Cao Ren, you kid will still provoke Cao Ren less in the future, and the lord will not easily stand on your side." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, he thought that he had taken a big advantage today, but he didn't expect that it was Cao Ren who got the biggest benefit, which was really unlucky.

At this moment, Xun You, who was standing on the edge of the sandbox, said with some concern: "Once the lord leaves the camp to attack the black nest, Yuan Shao will definitely know soon, and he will definitely send a large army to attack, now that we have few soldiers, how can we face Yuan Shao's army?" ”

Cao Hong also stood up and said, "Lord, let's retreat the big camp here ten miles when you attack the black nest, Yuan Shao will definitely not have time to react." ”

Guo Jia immediately stopped: "No, once our army's front retreats, Yuan Shao will inevitably return the army to save Wuchao, wouldn't this be a trap for the lord and danger?" ”

Cao Hong was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The last general should be damned, don't blame the lord." ”

Cao Cao smiled disappreliantly, and then pointed at Yuan Yun and said: "This kid and Cao Ang's gunpowder army are the best at defending the city, Cao Ang will arrive the day after tomorrow, and there is a gunpowder army in the camp to assist, Zilian and Gongda can rest assured." ”

Xun You pondered for a moment, then looked at Yuan Yun again, and always felt that he was still very worried in his heart, the gunpowder army was now only more than 4,000 people, how could this little man guard the ten-mile camp?

"Xun Yu should be the force of death to ensure that the camp is not lost, and the lord can attack the black nest with peace of mind." After Xun You finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw Xun Yu like this, and immediately laughed, because this strategist didn't know the strength of the gunpowder army, he was ready to fight to the death at this moment, with this kind of subordinate, it is indeed like Yuan Yun said, the morale and fighting spirit in the Cao army is the greatest combat power.
