Smiling slightly, Wei Yan shook his head, and said to Yan Liang and Wen Chou very categorically: "Wen Hou will definitely not compete with us for the credit of breaking through Xu Du this time!" ”

When he said such a sentence, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were stunned and looked at him in confusion.

"If he wants to take credit, the army will advance to Songshan, and he can defeat the Qingzhou army in one fell swoop!" With a smile on his face, Wei Yan then said to the two: "But Wen Hou didn't do this, but gave Gao Shun the credit for defeating the Qingzhou army. ”

Wei Yan is not only brave, but also extremely intelligent.

Compared with him, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are just fierce generals who can rely on their bravery on the battlefield, and their words will not be understood by the two of them for a while!

"Pass the order, camp on the spot, and wait for the army to come!" Stopping the war horse, Wei Yan gave the order to camp on the spot to the army.

Not long after Wei Yan led 20,000 Qin troops disguised as the Qingzhou Army to arrive near Xudu, Cao Cao, who was in Hebei, had also received the news of the defeat of Songshan.

Sun Guan's death touched Cao Cao a lot.

When he recruited the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and organized them into the Qingzhou Army, Cao Cao did not expect much from this army.

The Qingzhou army has always been poorly equipped, and the training of soldiers is also extremely perfunctory, especially the betrayal of Cao Cao by Chang Xi and others, which made him decide to adopt a free-range strategy for this army.

No support, no suppression.

In these days of fighting against the Qin army, the Qingzhou army repeatedly resisted the fierce offensive of the Qin army, and Cao Cao also made them look at them with admiration.

Although it is impressive, in Cao Cao's opinion, this army is not his descendant after all, so the support for the Qingzhou army has not changed much.

What he didn't expect was that in the battle of Songshan, the Qin army would be so strong that it would defeat tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Qingzhou army in one day, and none of the soldiers of the Qingzhou army surrendered to the Qin army.

Especially Sun Guan, when he was surrounded by the Qin army, he would rather commit suicide than serve the king of Qin!

is so loyal and righteous, so that Cao Cao also feels very guilty about this army in his heart.

The soldier who reported the news waved his hand, Cao Cao's brows were tightly twisted, and he looked up at the clear blue sky, with a touch of loss on his face.

"Cao Gong!" Standing behind Cao Cao, seeing that his expression showed loss, Guo Jia leaned behind him and whispered: "Songshan is lost, Xu Du is afraid that it will be difficult to protect ......"

"Feng Xiao also saw it!" Speaking of Xudu, Cao Cao sighed and said: "It's a pity that our army has not yet captured Yecheng, if we lose Xudu again......"

"There are few soldiers in Yecheng, and Cao Gong should step up to seize the city!" Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia had already said to him: "As for Xu Du, our army's return to help is not of much use!" ”

Nodding, Cao Cao didn't say anything more, but there was a deep uneasiness in his heart.

Earlier, they competed with the Qin army for various places, and the Qin army's combat strength was not as strong as this time, and even the Qingzhou army was able to resist the enemy's attack by the Qin army.

And this time, the Qin army's strong combat power really made Cao Cao feel chills in his heart.

If this situation continues, once the Qin army enters Hebei, it will be difficult for the Cao army to resist the enemy.

"If the Qin army enters Hebei......" After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guo Jia with a worried face, and said to him: "How can you resist the enemy?" ”

"Seize Yecheng first, and then advance to Liaodong, forcing the Gongsun family to be loyal to Cao Gong!" Guo Jia almost didn't think about it, so he said to Cao Cao: "Liaodong and Wuhuan are adjacent to each other, Wuhuan is a strong horse warrior, Cao's army has Liaodong, and then advances into Wuhuan, once the other side is obtained, why worry about not being able to return to the Central Plains in the future?" ”

Guo Jia's strategy was to ask Cao Cao to abandon the Central Plains and occupy Liaodong as the foundation.

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Only in this way is it appropriate!" ”

"Someone!" made a decision in his heart, Cao Cao didn't think much about it, shouted behind him, and when a personal soldier hugged his fist and bowed down, he continued: "Pass the order, the army will attack Yecheng strongly!" ”

The soldiers responded and conveyed Cao Cao's order.

Cao Cao agreed to Guo Jia's plan, planning to seize Yecheng, once he could not hold Hebei in the future, he sent his army to the north at the same time, only more than 20 miles away from his army, a team of more than 500 people was stationed in the wilderness.

Leading the dragoon guards into Hebei, Deng Zhan was cautious and sneaky all the way, trying to avoid Cao's scouts.

Fortunately, the number of dragoon guards was not very large, and they had advanced to a place only more than twenty miles away from Cao Jun, and Cao Jun was still unaware.

In order to hide their traces, the dragoon guards did not set up tents, and whenever they were stationed, the soldiers were looking for a place to hide and hide their figures.

Standing at the place where the dragoon guards were stationed, Deng Zhan pressed the hilt of his sword and looked in the direction where Cao Jun was, his eyes flashing with expectation.

"General!" Just as he was looking at the direction where Cao Jun was stationed, Huang Sheng, who had been promoted to the deputy general of the Dragoon Guard, walked behind him and asked him, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking at Cao Jun!" Turning his head and smiling at Huang Sheng, Deng Zhan responded.

"Look at Cao Jun?" Glancing ahead blankly, Huang Sheng asked Deng Zhan, "This place is far away from Cao Jun, how can you see it?" Generals, don't bully the general's eyesight! ”

"Haha!" Huang Sheng's words amused Deng Zhan, he laughed, patted Huang Sheng on the shoulder and asked, "Do you know why I came here?" ”

"Kill Cao Cao's staff!" After blinking his eyes twice, Huang Sheng still said with some incomprehension: "But even so, there is no trace of Cao Jun here!" ”

"Cao's army is stationed twenty miles away!" Raising his hand and pointing forward, Deng Zhan said to Huang Sheng: "For us, twenty miles is just an instant. Cao Cao's front staff, I waited to take their heads, but I was just probing for the ears of things! ”

"Why didn't the general give the order, just wait for Cao's army to march all the way north?" Deng Zhan led the dragon cavalry guards into Hebei, and he had always fallen far behind Cao Jun, never mentioning the killing of Cao Cao's staff, Huang Sheng was very puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't hold back his confusion at this time, and asked the question out of his mouth.

Looking at the place where Cao Jun was stationed again, Deng Zhan didn't say anything, just smiled slightly and stopped talking.

The purpose of leading the dragoon guards into Hebei was known to the dragoon guards, but Deng Zhan would not sue them when Liu Wei decided to kill.

After all, Liu Wei's plan this time was to pocket the entire Central Plains, not to help Yuan Shao defeat Cao Cao and sit back and watch Yuan Shao expand his power.

Born as a general under Liu Wei's account, Deng Zhan also knew very well that the only way to restore the Han Sheji was to weaken the soldiers and horses of all the heroes, and even directly annex their land.

As long as there are warlords, even if Liu Wei ascends the throne, he will not be able to sit still.

Since ancient times, emperors have always done things that are unacceptable to ordinary people's feelings, and now Liu Wei is making such a decision.

Yuan Shao is loyal to the Han family, but his power is really too big, if his power is not flattened, Liu Wei will always be like a thorn in his back when he becomes the emperor in the future.

Cao Cao's army marched all the way north towards Yecheng.

The news of Yuan Jun's defeat in Cangting had also reached Yuan Shao's ears at this time.

Yuan Tan and the others fought hard before they escaped back from Cangting.

The battle of Guandu was already a very heavy blow to Yuan Shao, and when he learned that Cangting was defeated again, Hebei had no chance to turn over, and Yuan Shao could not afford to be sick even if he spurted blood from his mouth.

Lying on the bed, Yuan Shao's face was pale, and beside him, kneeling down and judging and Feng Ji.

Due to the defeat of Yuan Tan and others, the trial and Feng Ji did not let them meet Yuan Shao, for fear of seeing them, Yuan Shao was so angry that he disappeared on the spot.

"Zhengnan, Yuantu ......" Lying on the cover, Yuan Shao turned his head with difficulty to look at the trial and Feng Ji, and said to them weakly: "A certain ...... It's no longer possible......"

"Yuan Gong only needs to be well born, and he will recover soon!" Following Yuan Shao for a long time, after listening to these words from his mouth, the trial and Feng Ji were also very uncomfortable in their hearts, and the trial match hurriedly comforted softly: "Don't worry too much, although Cangting is defeated again, Yuan Gong can still recruit new soldiers......"

"Hundreds of thousands of Hebei boys ......" let out a long sigh, Yuan Shao, who was lying on the cover, slowly shook his head, and said to the two: "Once lost at the hands of someone!" How many more orphans and widows are there in Hebei! ”

As a generation of heroes, Yuan Shao would say such a thing, obviously at the end of his life, and people will have a lot of emotion.

Looking at Yuan Shao, the judge and Feng Ji felt sad in their hearts, the two of them could no longer restrain their emotions, raised their sleeves, and wiped their tears.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, the world is difficult to disobey!" Looking at the two, Yuan Shao instead persuaded them and said, "If you go, you will go clean." It's just that someone has something in his heart that is not finished yet, can you two do it for him? ”

"Duke Yuan just commands!" Kneeling next to Yuan Shao's bed, the judge and Feng Ji said the same thing almost in unison.

Turning his head to look at the two, Yuan Shao's face showed a hint of hesitation, but in the end he still said: "A certain has drafted a suicide note, handed over Hebei to Xiansi, and hopes that the two of you will support him like an auxiliary bi!" ”

Yuan Shao was already dying, but he still decided to hand over Hebei to Yuan Tan, and the hearts of the two of them were tight, but they still hurriedly responded: "Yuan Gong rest assured, the two of us will go to the soup and the fire, and assist Bi Xiansi Gongzi!" ”

Nodding, Yuan Shao was about to explain other things, when a guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Qi Yuan Gong, Cao Cao led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, has arrived in Yecheng, and will attack the city in the near future!" ”

Yuan Shao, who was already approaching the end, suddenly heard that Cao Cao led the army to surround Yecheng, and his heart was in a hurry, so he sat up suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "poof".
