Chapter 497: The Battle of Guandu (13)
Cao Cao returned to Guandu, and without even resting for a moment, he came to the residence of Lu Yao, who was under house arrest.
In order to prevent Lu Yao from using all kinds of alien means to get out, Guo Jia took great pains. not only laid up an upside-down five-element array to block all kinds of teleportation, but also arranged a thousand soldiers and horses to surround this place, and even secretly arranged secret agents at the city gate, always beware of the generals under Lu Yao's command sneaking into the rescue.
Cao Cao traveled all the way, directly waved off the soldiers and horses stationed there, and came straight to Lu Yao. He's figured it out now. If you want to escape, you really can't keep Lu Yao.
"Congratulations to the prime minister." Lu Yao didn't get up, he looked up at Cao Cao with a smile.
"Thank you for your help, Meng De is here to thank you." Cao Cao can also afford to put it down, and solemnly shake it to the end. If it weren't for Lu Yao's other arrangement of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid he would have folded in the black nest. Lu Yao naturally deserves this gift.
"Prime Minister is polite, sit." Lu Yao shook his head and smiled, and raised his hand to greet.
Cao Cao also regarded himself as a guest, sat on Lu Yao's right, and then looked into Lu Yao's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Why is the prince unwilling to help me?" ”
"Why did the prime minister say this?" Lu Yao blinked his eyes and looked surprised.
Cao Cao suddenly laughed, got up and stood proudly: "On the heroes of the world, only the prince and Cao Er." If you and I join forces, the world is at our fingertips. A certain is willing to swear to the sky, if the great cause is accomplished, the prince is the king side by side, and shares the great country with a certain one. ”
"The prime minister is so courageous." Lu Yao applauded.
"I beg the prince to help me." Cao Cao Shi Shi Ran was again in the end, and his posture was extremely low.
"The prime minister coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now he has broken Yuan Shao, who is the enemy in the world? This king is just a stranger, and he only wants to be in a safe corner, how can he help the prime minister? Lu Yao bit to death and didn't let go, looking helpless.
When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed slightly.
In his opinion, before the Battle of Guandu, only Yuan Shao, who controlled the young emperor, could fight with him. The rest of the princes such as Jiangdong Sun Jian, Xiliang Ma Teng, Youzhou Gongsun Zan and so on were not in his eyes at all. Aside from all the princes, another person who can influence the general trend of the world is King Zhuya.
Thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find.
The hole card in the hand of Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, is not the orthodoxy of the Han family, but the real power. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, vulture bones and other generals, any one of them can be in charge. If it is placed in the hands of other princes, external expansion may not be enough, but it is more than enough to hold on to the territory. Without a careful layout, it is difficult to annex.
And these generals who can take charge alone are all under Lu Yao.
Lu Yao has no righteous reputation, and he is just a stranger. In his opinion, this is the best ally, enough to support himself and unify the world in a short time.
But Lu Yao rejected his kindness.
"It's better for the prince to go north with a certain person, and he has to think about it a lot." Cao ** Lang smiled, but he didn't force Lu Yao to give an answer immediately. Now that the layer of window paper has been pierced, and no outsiders are present, the idea of replacing the Han family has nothing to hide in the face of Lu Yao.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey the king." Lu Yao laughed and arched his hand casually.
Cao Cao hesitated. Lu Yao replied too simply, and he didn't show any intention of resisting. There must be a demon when things go wrong, but I can't guess what's wrong. He couldn't figure it out, so he had to bow his hand and leave.
Sending Cao Cao away, Lu Yaofeng smiled lightly and continued to look through the ancient books sent by Guo Jia to relieve his boredom. Not to mention, it's quite interesting to watch, he likes it.
After resting for three days, Cao Cao personally went to the colonel field and ordered troops to go north to conquer Yuan Shao. Cangyue and other player leaders were fortunate enough to win a place and were entrusted with the important task of serving as a pioneer.
This is not surprising, thinking that Yuan Shao relied on the crowd tactics of players such as the Iron Blood Overlord to win successive battles, and Cao Cao I was a hero, so naturally he would not let go of such a powerful force and stood by.
Half a day later, the vanguard of the players left Guandu and went straight to Yanjin. Cao Cao had already informed them that Yuan Shao was currently blocked in Yanjin and unable to cross the river. Facing such a demoralized NPC army, isn't it the best time to brush up on the battle record?
Hurry up all the way, and when the players arrive in Yanjin all the way, they learn that Yuan Shao forced the Yellow River ten days ago. Cangyue and other player leaders are not surprised. The Yellow River is big, and it is not difficult to cross the river, as long as you are willing to sacrifice, you can cross it in minutes.
How can the Yellow River resist the omnipotent player.
Under the secret control of Cangyue and other families, ships of all sizes gathered at the ferry. The shore is a variety of hot scenes. The logs were tied into wooden rafts, and although they could not be used as permanent props, it was perfectly fine to hold on to the river for a little time. Take a thick rope and bolt it to the stern of the boat, and drag it over.
Wooden rafts were pushed down the Yellow River by energetic players, and soon the river was overwhelmed with boats, wooden rafts and other river-crossing props, sailing to the north bank.
Yuan Shao was indeed frightened at this time, and even with Yuan Jun, he had no fighting spirit. Cangyue and other players easily landed, and captured Liyang in less than five days.
After another ten days, Cao Cao personally led the main force of Cao's army to Liyang and officially announced that he had recovered all the lost territory. The soldiers pointed directly at Yuan Shao's old nest Yecheng.
"Can the prince figure it out?" Cao Cao rode the claw Huang Feidian, smiled and asked Lu Yao, who was riding on the snow and riding the black horse, and Lu Yao, who was walking side by side with him, was full of spirit.
Just as in history, the First Battle of Guandu decided that Cao Cao would become the overlord of the north. Yuan Shao's hasty escape back to the north bank of the Yellow River also showed that the overall situation had been decided. Cao Cao will be like a bamboo, annihilating the demoralized Yuan army one by one, and finally unify the north.
Lu Yao smiled, noncommittal, and by the way, he was restless, and honestly wanted to slap the snow stepping black horse who came to the paw Huang Feidian next to him, signaling it to be honest.
"The prince just thinks about it, and he can afford it." Cao Cao laughed loudly, grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed straight into Liyang City.
……
In Yecheng, people are panicking.
Zhang Liao, Tai Shici has besieged the city for more than a month under the pretense of the Yellow Turban remnants. Although the hermit led the Huaxia Alliance to "break" into the siege and successfully entered the city to garrison, it was still not inspiring.
For no other reason, the news that the Yellow River was once again blocked by Cao's naval division inevitably spread to the city with the hermit entering the city.
The Yellow River can be described as the lifeline of the Yuan army moving south. As soon as the grain road is broken, the fate of Yuan Shao, who hangs alone on the south bank of the Yellow River, can almost be said to be a foregone conclusion. This news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, who stayed in Yecheng, anxious.
However, the misfortune is not a one-way street.
The "remnants of the Yellow Turbans" besieged the city and could not be passed, but all kinds of news spread unimpeded to the city. Yuan Shaoguandu was defeated, and the news of his hasty escape back to the north bank of the Yellow River came immediately.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Yuan Tan brothers urgently recruited hermits to come to discuss.
Now Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in the White Horse, Gao Ran was seriously injured in the Battle of Wuchao, and Zhang Jaw switched to Lu Yao early. The Hebei Siting Pillar has become a thing of the past, and the brothers have to rely on the player group led by the hermit.
The hermit was not polite, and as soon as they met, he was open and honest: "The defeat has been decided, and I can only ask the young emperor to come forward to preside over the overall situation." ”
