"Ugh!"

Cao Ren's voice changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "Didn't Yuan Xi say just now that Yuan Shao had set up an ambush to exterminate Zhang Yan's rebels, since this is the case, there is still room for redemption." What's more, didn't the lord always suspect that Yuan Shao had another plan, and he would give the Xiliang army a fatal blow at the critical moment? But now、、、 why did the lord predict the inevitable defeat of my allies? ”

Cao Cao shook his head lightly with a gloomy expression, and sighed with a sigh: "Who is Li Thief?" Since he had already surrendered the Montenegrin army, why did he want Zhang Yan to lead his troops to attack Yuan Shaozhong's army? This is for Yuan Shao's long-planned plan, throwing stones to ask for directions, Li Thief is full of wisdom, really clever! ”

"Ahh In this way, Li Thief has already seen through Yuan Shao's calculations! How is this possible, how does he know, can he really pinch it? Cao Ren asked in astonishment.

Cao Cao said disapprerovingly: "Yuan Shao thinks that his plan is seamless and can hide from everyone's eyes, but he can't even hide it from me Cao Cao, how can he deceive the cunning and wise Li thief?" At least one thing is certain, that is, Yuan Shaoqiankun arbitrarily set the decisive battle site in Loudiyuan, which in itself is a move to cover up, how can Li Li not be suspicious?

It must be known that the Western Liang Army is known for its war cavalry and is good at fighting in the wilderness, and Loudi Yuan is undoubtedly the most ideal decisive battle location for the Western Liang Army outside Hangu Pass. But who is Yuan Shao? He poured all his money into uniting all the princes to come to crusade against the Li thief at any cost, could it be that the leader of the army came to send him to death? Since it's not a death. Then why did you choose to lead more than 300,000 allied troops mainly infantry troops and the Xiliang army to fight a decisive battle on the Loudi Plain?

This qiē shows that Yuan Shao must have a plan, and the plot is so great that he exposes such an obvious flaw in front of Li Li. But he was so complacent that he thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that Li Thief had already taken precautions against this. Today, the two armies fought a decisive battle, and the Li thief was reluctant to lead the army to attack, until the evening, but suddenly poured out, which in itself shows that the Li thief also has a back hand, and it is a big conspiracy that has been planned for a long time. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao turned his head to look at the rear of the Chinese army with a disappointed face. After a pause on Yuan Shaoshuai's banner, he shook his head gloomily and said in a deep voice: "Therefore." I dare to assert that Li Thief's dispatch of Zhang Yan to lead his troops to attack Yuan Shao's camp was only a tentative attack, and its purpose was to force Yuan Shao to resort to the last resort of hiding without leaking. However. This was only the first step for the Li thief to break through the central army of our allies. Then he must have led his army to attack Yuan Shaozhong's army after Zhang Yan, and finally Li Li made a fatal blow, which was also the fundamental reason for his delay in not fighting. If everything is as I expected, by now, the results of this decisive battle have been revealed, the Xiliang army has already won the victory, and our allies are defeated, and the general trend is about to go. An unprecedented rout is just around the corner! ”

"Then, then、、、 what should I do now, do I still need to carry out Yuan Shao's general order to go to the left flank?" Cao Ren stammered in shock.

"Of course, we must carry out Yuan Shao's military orders. The army was ordered to advance to the left flank. Cao Cao bowed slightly, and said casually in a very strange tone.

Why is that? Since the lord knew that Li Thief was waiting for us on the battlefield on the left flank at this time, why did we still go to die? Cao Ren asked puzzled.

Cao Cao raised his eyes and stared through the fire-lit night sky, looking deeply at the battlefield on the left flank six hundred paces away. While observing the firelight above the left flank, he pondered and said: "As Zixiao said, Li Thief must be in line on the battlefield on the left flank at this moment, waiting for our army to go and throw himself into the net. However, his purpose in this battle was not to have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under my Cao Cao's command, but to keep an eye on Yuan Shao's Chinese army commander's banner at all times, and always think about defeating the Jizhou army, capturing or forcing Yuan Shao back, so as to defeat the princes' army in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Li Thief would never stay on the battlefield on the left flank for too long, and only needed to reorganize his army a little after receiving the Black Mountain cavalry, and then immediately led his army to attack Yuan Shaozhong's army. As long as Yuan Shao's Chinese army commander fell, Li Thief didn't take us and other people in his eyes at all, what he wanted was the victory of the decisive battle of the entire Loudi Yuan, not the deliberate extermination of a certain prince. Therefore, our army went to the left flank battlefield at this time, just to avoid the frontal attack of Li Thief, and then retreated from the edge of the left flank after the Xiliang army, leaving the battlefield as much as possible.

It should be noted that the speed of our march should not be too fast, and more scouts should be sent to monitor the whereabouts of the Xiliang army. Only when Li Thief led the army to attack Yuan Shaozhong's army, could we officially enter the battlefield on the left flank, try to avoid entanglement with the Xiliang army, and the whole army quickly cleared Guò and retreated straight to the bank of the Yellow River. ”

"Retreat directly? If Yuan Shao is to blame after the war, how should we deal with it? Cao Ren did not question Cao Cao's order to retreat, because he had always looked at Cao Cao's horse and had long been accustomed to obeying orders. However, he was very worried about his post-war situation, for fear that Yuan Shao would put all the blame on Cao Cao after his defeat. After all, his own side is weak, only 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if Yuan Shao is defeated, it is a thin camel bigger than a horse, and the strength of the Jizhou army is still above the Cao army.

"Don't be surprised, Zixiao, I have my own plans for this matter."

Seeing Cao Ren's worried face, Cao Cao swept away the decadent color, and smiled indifferently with a relaxed expression: "Zixiao, haven't you forgotten the opportunity we have been waiting for for a long time?" The reason why we wanted to secretly form an alliance with Li Thief was actually to wait for this moment to come. Only when the allies are defeated will we have a chance to increase our strength, otherwise the strength of the princes from all walks of life will not be damaged, and we will not dare to act rashly. Now, I will personally lead the army to the battlefield on the left flank, and you will lead your own troops to find Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, and then rush to the left flank to join me. ”

Cao Ren was stunned when he heard this: "The last general is stupid, I don't know where the opportunity is what the lord said, and how to increase his strength?" ”

"Hehehe!" Cao Cao smiled happily, turned his head to look at the soldiers around him, and leaned over to whisper in Cao Ren's ear.

"Ahh This??? I'm afraid it's not right? If we do this, will we not be enemies of all the princes? Cao Ren was shocked when he heard this, and asked anxiously.

"Enemies of princes of all stripes? Hehehe! Cao Cao groaned disapprenosingly, and sneered: "Does Zixiao really think that after this battle, the princes of all walks of life are still allies with me Cao Cao?" Don't you hear that Li Thief once said such a sentence: Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the disaster comes. Couples who share the same bed and sleep together are still like this, let alone allies?

What's more, after this battle, how many of the princes from all walks of life were able to survive? And after the victory, how could the Li thief and the Xiliang army under his command give up, and they will inevitably storm the allied Dazhai and chase after it. At that time, the princes of the Allied forces will be too busy to take care of themselves, and who will stay here stupidly and wait for death, will inevitably fall apart and run for their own lives. In other words, even if the allies gather together again, as long as I, Cao Cao, am strong enough, the other princes will not be able to help me even if they hold a grudge, so they can only chew their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. Therefore, Zixiao doesn't have to worry, just do what you order, I have my own plans for other things! ”

"It's ??? No, the last will obey. The lord cherishes a lot, and he will go back in the end! After a moment's hesitation, Cao Ren received the order and immediately called more than 300 personal soldiers to prepare to set off.

"Zixiao must remember that time is urgent, and there can be no delay. If you can't find Zhen'er and Xiu'er, then forget it, Zixiao must return to the battlefield on the left flank within an hour! Before leaving, Cao Cao patted Cao Ren's shoulder and whispered.

Cao Ren was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Cao Cao for a while, then nodded slightly, and without saying a word, he led his own soldiers straight to the main battlefield in front of him.

Seeing Cao Ren lead his troops to rush to the front of the battle, Cao Cao's figure was motionless and distracted, and his mind was still full of Cao Ren's complex eyes of pity and pain.

"Alas!" Half an hour later, Cao Cao sighed lightly in dismay, and with a wave of his hand, he led the 20,000 men and horses of his headquarters and the more than 10,000 men and horses of Sun Ce's department to slowly advance to the battlefield on the left flank.

————————————

"Kill ———!"

The noisy shouts of killing reached the battlefield on the left flank, and immediately drifted into Li Li's ears, prompting him to look shocked, and raise his eyes to look at Yuan Shaoshuai's banner looming under the night sky.

"Huh? It seems that Zhang Yan has led his troops into the rear of the Chinese army, and has started a fight with the Yuan army at this moment. ”

Looking at the flickering firelight and the huge and miscellaneous shouting and killing sound in the sky two miles away, Li Zhi said softly: "Not only that, I'm afraid that as the lord expected, Yuan Shao learned of the secret report in advance and set up an ambush first, and now Zhang Yan and the 50,000 Black Mountain Army have been surrounded. In this way, the Montenegrin army is only afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, and there will be no return. ”

"It's come to this, and it's useless to talk about it." Li Li shook his head lightly, abandoned all distracting thoughts, immediately raised his sword and rode his horse, and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, follow the handsome banner and rush into battle, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!" Take Yuan Shao's army directly, capture and kill Yuan Shao, and all the soldiers will rush into battle with me, kill! ”

Before the words fell, Li Li drove the Golden Lion Beast King and galloped out, Li Zhi followed, and with a wave of his hand, he led the three thousand Golden Lion Guard War Cavalry and the 20,000 Black Mountain Cavalry to gallop mightily.

After galloping for more than 300 steps, Li Li led more than 20,000 cavalry to the rear of the left flank, and then rushed horizontally, rushing straight to the infantry army formation of Zhang He's department.

At this time, the infantry army array under Zhang He's tent was besieging Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, but he left a giant shield pikeman of 5,000 people, which was a defensive means specially left to resist the sneak attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It can be seen that Zhang He is indeed a good general with both civil and military skills, and he is arranged just right, with both offense and defense, and almost everything.

It's a pity that in the face of the rapid charge of more than 20,000 war horses, the 5,000 giant shield pikemen left by Zhang He are just a reef in the torrent of iron horses, which can only slightly delay the speed of the war horse charge, but it can't stop the sweeping iron horse charge at all.
