Chapter 0863: Cao Cao Sneak Attack on the Black Nest

Cao Cao walked to the map, pointed to the Jishui River on the map, and said to Yuan Shao: "It's all on the north bank of the Jishui River." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info is the old city, in the west of Yangwu City one hundred miles. One is the black nest, fifteen miles north of Fengqiu City. ”

"Obviously, the grain, grass and ordnance in the ancient city are provided to the Northern Xinjiang Army in the northwest of the Guandu Battlefield nearby, and this is mainly Yan Liang's army. The grain and grass ordnance of Wuchao was provided to the Northern Xinjiang Army in the southeast of the Guandu Battlefield nearby, and the troops of Liyi, LΓΌ Bu and Gao Shun were mainly here. ”

Cao Cao looked up at Yuan Shao and asked excitedly, "Which one do we fight?" ”

"Fight both." Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said very resolutely, "Burn all the grain and grass camps of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and see if they can support them in Guandu for a few days." ”

"Both?" Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, pointed to the chasm water on the map and said, "Then we must not only launch a fierce attack on the frontal battlefield, but also attack on the flank of the Guandu battlefield, that is, the first line of the ditch water, in order to contain the forces of the Northern Frontier Army and attract all their attention to the battlefield." ”

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, and said: "The ancient city is only more than a hundred miles away from the city, we can send an army to cross the chasm water from the direction of the city, and then take advantage of the night to rush along the north bank of the Jishui River to quickly kill the ancient city." It's easy to solve here, but it's more troublesome......"

His finger kept clicking on Fengqiu City on the map, and said with some hesitation: "If you want to fight this city, the Northern Frontier Army will definitely garrison heavy troops to protect Wuchao, and a sneak attack is impossible." ”

"If a sneak attack doesn't work, attack it." Cao Cao said without hesitation, "You command the army to attack from the front, let Brother Xenodu command the army to attack from the flank of the battlefield, and let Brother Meng Yu command the army to attack Fengqiu north." There is only one purpose in attacking Fengqiu, that is, to cover my army to rush across the Jishui River and storm Wuchao. ”

"You ......" Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied when he heard Cao Cao's arrangement of troops in front of him, but he was suddenly surprised to hear that he was going to personally rush to the flank battlefield to lead the army to attack Wuchao.

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao in surprise, thinking that something was wrong with this kid's brain, why did he take the initiative to ask for war unusually?

The storming of the Jishui River and the storming of Wuchao will definitely be met with stubborn resistance from the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the casualties will be very large. With Cao Cao's current situation and what he did some time ago, he obviously would not bear such a big loss.

What does this kid want to do? You won't finish fighting the black nest and take the opportunity to escape, right?

Therefore, Yuan Shao asked suspiciously: "You want to go to fight the black nest in person?" ”

Yuan Shao's suspicious look did not escape Cao Cao's eyes, he smiled, pointed to the old city on the map, and said something that shocked Yuan Shao: "The old city also let my people fight." Although the tiger and leopard are not here, I still have an elite foot soldier in my hand. In order to succeed in a sneak attack, you need not only to hide your tracks, but also to be fast and strong. I, a 3,000-strong tiger man, are more than capable of doing it. If the sneak attack fails, you cut off my head. ”

"This ......" Yuan Shao hesitated.

Of course he is willing, but now he has to make a show and not reveal his true intentions. Whether or not the sneak attack was successful, one thing is for sure, there is little chance that they will return safely.

burned the grain and grass camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the Northern Xinjiang cavalry was bound to be furious and chased after them. More than a hundred miles away, no matter how strong a soldier is, a two-legged man will never run over a four-legged horse.

Cao Cao sneered in his heart, but his face pretended to be tragic, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, my soldiers don't even have a home, can you not work hard?" Having defeated the Northern Frontier Army, we still have a chance to go home, but if we are defeated by the Northern Frontier Army, we will have nothing. ”

"As for attacking the Black Nest, I think it's better for me to fight it myself. Under Brother Meng Yu's account, there is his own Runan Army, my Yanzhou Army, Brother Xuande's Xuzhou Army, Ji Ling's Jiujiang Army, and Jiangdong's Sun Fu and Lu Su, and it is not good for any army he lets cross the river to attack Wuchao. His own Runan army is not large in number, and it is obviously not enough to attack the black nest, and he is not easy to arrange for others, so it is better for me to go. More than 20,000 people of Cao Hong and Xiahou Shang are now under Junyi City, and I will take them to fight, even if the whole army is destroyed, I will turn the black nest into ashes. ”

Yuan Shao shook his hand with a smile, looked at Cao Cao with deep meaning and said: "This matter is an attack behind enemy lines, it is very dangerous, and the losses are also large, so you can't bear it alone." I think I'll send someone to fight the old city. ”

Cao Cao tried his best to fight, and his chest snapped.

The more Cao Cao was so impassioned, the more Yuan Shao muttered. Cao Cao's performance today was too abnormal, which made Yuan Shao a little scared.

Who is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao knows very well, everyone grew up together, how good this kid is, he knows how good this kid is, Cao Cao will never do anything that suffers.

And the two grain and grass camps let Cao Cao lead the army to attack, obviously Cao Cao suffered a big loss, and it is even possible that the whole army will be wiped out, with Cao Cao's shrewdness, how could he do such an impulsive thing?

Did he want to take the opportunity to escape from Guandu? If he wants to escape, there is no need to take the army to fight the old city and the black nest, it will be too dangerous. Without an army, if he wants to make a comeback, he can only dream under the Nine Springs.

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more bottomless he became. He's not going to be talking back, trying to provoke me, is he?

Looking at Cao Cao's face, which was slightly flushed with excitement, Yuan Shao waved his hand vigorously and said, "Okay, then there is Brother Lao Xian." ”

Cao Cao's expression froze for a moment, but then he was masked by his series of bold words and smiles.

Yuan Shao secretly sneered.

The two immediately discussed the details of the attack, and then Cao Cao took his leave and returned to the camp to prepare.

Yuan Shao summoned Feng Ji, Liu Shao and others to draft orders, adjust the deployment of troops, and arrange the attack.

Attacking the two grain and grass battalions of the Northern Xinjiang Army at the same time needs to be the same in time, otherwise it will arouse the vigilance of the Northern Xinjiang Army and adjust the strength in time to protect another grain and grass battalion. Yuan Shao hurriedly wrote to Liu Biao, who was left by Chen, and asked him to pay close attention to the battlefield of Guandu to prevent Cao Cao from suddenly leading his army south to escape.

After Yuan Shao gave a series of orders, Feng Ji suddenly asked, "Lord, do you want to arrest Xu You back?" You can't let Xu You follow Cao Cao like this, right? With him by Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao is like a tiger with wings, and it is very likely that he will cause us a lot of trouble in the future. ”

Yuan Shao had already thought of this problem, he sighed in a low voice, waved his hand at Feng Ji, and said with some loss: "You can do this." ”

Feng Ji understood and bowed away.

………………

Immediately, Yuan Shao ordered the armies of all departments to launch an attack to contain the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army and attract the attention of the Northern Xinjiang Army, so as to prepare Cao Cao's attack on the old city and Wuchao.

On the frontal battlefield of Guandu, Yuan Shao concentrated his main force to attack the north bank of the chasm water from the line of Putianze and Quyuju, while Kuai Yue attacked the northern Xinjiang army from the line of Quyuju and Junyi.

On the flank of the Guandu battlefield, Xu Xuan ordered Zhu Ling, Zhou Cang, and Ji Ling to lead the army across the ditch water and attack in the direction of Sanling Pavilion. He personally led the army of Sun Fu and Lu Su to attack Fengqiu City, intending to cut off the connection between the northern Xinjiang army on the east and west banks of the Yinggou River, and help Cao Cao successfully cross the Jishui River to attack Wuchao.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides fought fiercely on the battlefields on both sides of the Gulf Water, the Yin Ditch River, and the Jishui River.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan quickly rushed to the city one hundred and fifty miles away with 1,000 light cavalry and 5,000 soldiers.

Ten miles to the east of the city is the Bianqu.

Xiahou Yuan ordered his soldiers to rest in a forest on the bank of the Bianqu, prepare to cross the river at dusk, and travel 100 miles overnight to attack the old city.

Cao Cao rushed to Junyi to meet Cao Hong and Xiahou Shang, and led the army to advance rapidly towards Fengqiu. On the way, he received good news that Xu Chu had arrived at Junyi City with three thousand tigers and leopards riding from Xiaopei day and night.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Xu Chu to lead his army north to join him.

After Cao Cao saw Xu Chu, he asked him how the situation was in Xuzhou, and Xu Chu replied with three words, I don't know. Cao Cao was angry and funny, glared at Xu Chu, and asked bluntly: "I want to ask you, how is my family now?" ”

Xu Chu understood what Cao Cao meant, he smiled embarrassedly, and said that after the army stationed Xiaopei, Cao Chun personally visited Pengcheng once, and it is said that Jian Yong took good care of it.

………………

Xu Xuan's attack was very smooth, and the Northern Frontier Army could not resist it, so they retreated to Fengqiu City to hold on.

When Cao Cao arrived at Fengqiu, Xu Xuan had already begun to attack the city. When Cao Cao saw Xu Xuan, he asked him to attack overnight to cover his army's night crossing.

In the evening, the scouts reported that the Northern Xinjiang Army felt the danger and was organizing men and horses to carry the grain and grass stored in Wuchao overnight, and it was estimated that they would be transferred to Yanjin.

Cao Cao immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the army to cross the river to attack.

………………

Black Nest.

Yin Li hurriedly ran into the big tent to report the latest military situation to Gao Shunyu: "The rebels have launched an attack, should we let them go across the river?" ”

"Whose army?" Gao Shun asked with a frown.

"It's Cao Cao's." Yin Li said excitedly, "This time we can surround him and kill him to the ground." ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment, pointed to the herald and said, "Immediately report to Mrs. Li E, saying that Cao Cao is here, and ask her to withdraw the cavalry defending the eastern section of the Jishui River." ”

"Why?" Yin Li asked strangely, "Didn't the general's original plan to lure the enemy to the black nest and then encircle and annihilate him?" ”

"It's Cao Cao who comes, he'll be desperate." Gao Shun said with a grim expression, "Once we can't encircle and annihilate him, he will gain a foothold in Wuchao, and Fengqiu City will be encircled. When Fengqiu City is no longer effective, the rebels will swarm across the river and kill Suozao and Yanjin, encircling our army in the area of the Jishui River and the Gulf River. ”

Yin Li's gaze moved back and forth with Gao Shun's big hand on the map, and his heart was suddenly startled. (To be continued.) )
