Moreover, the timing of the accident was very precise, and it happened to be at a critical moment when the Allied forces were in a dilemma and the year was approaching.At this time, all the soldiers of the Allied Army had already fought for a long time. Their soldiers were frustrated and exhausted physically and mentally. Many people were missing their loved ones and wanted to go home for the New Year. Even the princes of the towns felt this way.What's more, the current war is at a stalemate, Hangu Pass cannot be attacked for a long time, the princes and allies have lost troops and generals, and their morale is sluggish.For this reason, some princes had the idea of ​​​​temporarily truce and retreating to Hedong County to spend the New Year's Eve, and this idea spread to the whole army, causing people's hearts to fluctuate, and there were many discussions in secret.As a result, the princes of the towns had to appease the morale of the army, for fear that the army would mutiny, and Li Li could take advantage of the opportunity to go out and attack and kill.

However, the princes of the towns, including Yuan Shao, would not have thought that the accident at the Feiyundu Grain and Grass Camp had been expected by Cao Cao; It has been concluded that sooner or later someone will come to rob the camp.

Chapter 698

Prior to this, after ten days of truce and rectification, the princes of the towns managed to appease the morale of the army, so that the soldiers of the army gradually calmed down, so they stayed in the camp to rest with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, a fire in Feiyundu once again pushed the Allied forces into an unknown and dangerous situation, which made the rest strategy that the Allied forces had already established to be sidelined. .

However, none of the princes of the towns, including Yuan Shao, would have thought that the accident at Feiyundu's Grain and Grass camp had been expected by Cao Cao.

As early as when he returned from Feiyundu's defeat, when his 2 troops were stationed at the left rear of the camp near the Feiyundu cliff, in order to protect himself, he tried every means to encourage Yuan Shao to put the grain and grass camp on the ground. Among the flying clouds.Because only in this way can he ensure that the only [-] soldiers under Cao Cao's account are safe and will never be attacked from behind by Xu Rong's troops in Xingyang.

That's right, it was absolutely foolproof, just like he once persuaded Yuan Shao to set up the food and grass camp in Feiyundu, it was absolutely foolproof, but it was a pity that he didn't tell Yuan Shao the truth.Otherwise, Yuan Shao would know that Cao Cao's infallibility did not refer to the large camp of food and grass, but specifically to the few remaining [-] Cao troops.

Perhaps Yuan Shao has not realized until now that Cao Cao's whole person has changed since Feiyundu's fiasco.In the past, Cao Cao really cared about the Allied forces. He put himself in the situation and planned for the Allied forces. He tried every means to kill Li Li, avenge the Xiahoudun brothers, and clear the obstacles for his future competition in the Central Plains.For this reason, he was willing to take the risk himself, and personally led an army to sneak into Feiyundu and set up an ambush.He tried to seize Hangu Pass in one fell swoop, became famous in one battle, and personally eliminated Li Li Wenchang, the number one prince in the world.

It's a pity that plans can never keep up with changes.Especially mutations or cataclysms.

The scene where Feiyundu met on a narrow road made Cao Cao's plan to attack Hanguguan aborted. The [-] Qingzhou soldiers were almost wiped out, and even almost took his own life.Fortunately, the heavens took pity on him and let him slip through Ma Chao's fingers, and then he was put to death and hid in Feiyundu for a full eight days, until the allied troops crossed the river and the Xiliang army all retreated into the pass.He was able to escape from the tiger's mouth and survived.

Cao Cao, who had escaped death, thought that Yuan Shao would be happy for his narrow escape, and even went out of the camp to greet him overjoyed.And it will definitely help him regain strength and restore his strength as soon as possible.However, when he returned to the allied army camp, except for Cao Ren, Le Jin and others who were waiting at the gate of the camp.The princes of the towns turned a deaf ear to it.And Yuan Shao never showed up from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even send anyone to greet him.During the three days after he returned to the camp, none of the princes from the various towns came to visit him, not even a false consolation.

The world is so cold, and the human nature is so cold, it is undoubtedly a blow to Cao Cao.Let him feel as cold as ice, completely chilled!

However.He doesn't believe that all this is true, and still has a glimmer of hope for Yuan Shao, his ally who has worked with him for many years.Therefore, the first thing he did when he returned to the camp was to go to Yuan Shao's camp, wanting to see with his own eyes whether Yuan Shao was really so unfeeling, he didn't miss the brotherhood of the past, and he didn't care about the friendship of the previous allies.

As a result, Yuan Shao ruthlessly taught Cao Cao a vivid lesson, allowing him to completely pinch out the only extravagant hopes and fantasies in his heart, and truly experience the cruelty of the princes' struggle for hegemony and the ugly faces of the allied princes who turned their faces ruthlessly.

From that moment on, Cao Cao was completely awakened.Through my own personal experience, I finally understand a truth.That is: the frontal enemy is not terrible, because if he wants to kill you, he must draw his sword to face him openly; the truly terrible enemy often hides by your side and appears behind you unexpectedly, waiting until you are weakest, When you are most helpless, you will be struck down and given a fatal blow.

Because of this, when Cao Cao was discussing with Cheng Yu about the future, he suddenly realized that Xiliang Li Li was not as hateful as he had imagined before, but more real than Yuan Shao and other princes.At least Li Li kept his promise and acted aboveboard; secretly forming an alliance or forming a cooperative relationship with such a person was often more reliable than Yuan Shao and others.

It is true that in Cao Cao's eyes, Li Li is a villain who has deep feuds with the Cao family and Xiahou's family, and is also a powerful and domineering prince and overlord.He is the most powerful enemy faced by the princes of the Central Plains, and the number one enemy recognized by all the princes in the world. Everyone wants to get rid of him quickly.However, it is this overlord of Xiliang who can make all the princes hate him so much that he has a side that makes the princes fear him like a tiger, and also has a side that makes them respect and admire.

All the princes in the world want to kill Li Li because he is too powerful, powerful enough to endanger the lives of the princes, so if they don't kill him, they will be killed by him sooner or later.But it is precisely because he is strong enough that the princes are in awe of him invisibly. Everyone in the world respects the strong, and the princes are no exception. However, it is even more difficult to become really strong. Since Li Li, the overlord of Xiliang, can be so strong, he must be far from the extraordinary ability that they do not have.

Isn't such a powerful person worthy of respect?

Therefore, after Cheng Yu counted Li Li's many cases, Cao Cao had actually accepted Cheng Yu's suggestion in his heart.It's just that he is very unwilling, and still wants to try harder, wait and see, if the Allied forces really have no hope of winning, it will not be too late for him to make a decision.

At the same time, Cao Cao no longer had any unrealistic expectations of the princes of the towns, including Yuan Shao. He no longer entrusted his own safety and the lives of his soldiers to the allied forces, but put his existing soldiers and horses Put first, put your own interests above the interests of the allies.

After Feiyundu's disastrous defeat, Yuan Shao placed him and [-] Cao troops at the left rear of the camp, with their backs against the cliff to the west of Feiyundu, at the outermost periphery of the entire Allied camp.This made Cao Cao deeply disturbed, fearing that the Xiliang army would sneak attack and rob the camp. Once this worry became a reality, he and the [-] soldiers under his tent would be the first to bear the brunt, and it was very likely that they would be completely wiped out.In view of this, he came up with a method of Li Daitao stiff.In any case, Yuan Shao must be persuaded to put the Allied granary in Feiyundu, and the Allied granary camp must be heavily guarded.In this way, it means that he has a long-term defense force to defend the camp on the left, right and back of Cao Cao's camp.And the front battalion has more than [-] troops from Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others, so Cao Ying is surrounded by heavy defenses, and it is really impenetrable and foolproof.

As for the safety of the allied food and grass camp and whether it would be robbed by the Xiliang army, Cao Cao didn't care about it, and was even willing to stand on the sidelines.Because in the past two months, he had obtained enough food and grass from Yuan Shao to feed the army for three months.That is to say, it can be eaten until March next year.After all, he now only has [-] soldiers and horses. With reasonable distribution, only [-] shi of food and grass can last for three months.And he caters to Yuan Shao everywhere recently.From time to time, he would flatter the horse, and the pictures were food, supplies and weapons. Now all the materials that can be obtained have been obtained.

Now the life and death of the allied forces has nothing to do with Cao Cao.What he is most concerned about right now is how to expand his strength and recruit as many soldiers as possible.Get back some strength.Then seek greater benefits for yourself in the ensuing war. It is best to regain Yanzhou in one fell swoop and regain its former glory.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, or don't blame me for being cruel! Kill me!"

Staring at the Taniguchi plank road with cold eyes, Cao Cao was lost in thought and lost his mind. While thinking secretly, he was suddenly awakened by a sudden loud shout, prompting him to subconsciously observe.

A glimpse.Cao Cao suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, alarmed.Feeling faintly uneasy, the scene in front of him feels familiar.

But at the entrance of the valley fifty paces away, a general of Yuan Jun, wearing the battle armor of the Jizhou army, yelled angrily, while holding a long spear, he wantonly killed the Yanzhou soldiers under Zhang Miao's tent who blocked the entrance of the valley.Upon closer inspection, one can see that this man is nearly nine feet tall, handsome, and outstanding. The spear in his hand is as fast as lightning, as beautiful and dazzling as a coiled dragon hovering around and plum blossoms flying. Amidst the flickering cold light, one by one Yanzhou soldiers covered their necks and screamed. fell to the ground.During the wild killing all the way, no one could stop the silver spear in his hand, as if entering the land of no one, he rushed straight to Taniguchi official road.

However, Cao Cao noticed that General Yuan Jun, who killed innocent people indiscriminately, did not rush out of the Taniguchi alone. Behind him were more than [-] strong soldiers who followed closely, and they also slashed and killed the Yanzhou soldiers who blocked the way.

What surprised Cao Cao most when he arrived was that a strong man with a beard behind the spear general looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the bearded man for a while.

And this familiar scene reminded Cao Cao of the situation when he led his troops out of the plank road at the entrance of the valley two months ago. treat.The scene I personally experienced in the past and what I saw in front of me are so similar, almost exactly the same.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt stunned, and saw that the burly spear general had led his troops out of the valley and was rushing towards the official road, and that man was killing people recklessly while looking coldly at the place where he was, intentionally or unintentionally. direction.

All these made Cao Cao feel bad, subconsciously retreated, and grabbed Cao Ren, who was about to step forward to prevent Yuan Jun from killing innocent people, and signaled him to protect his safety and not to act rashly.

"I am Chen Liu, Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo, a bold and lunatic, how dare you wantonly kill our soldiers, you all stop immediately!"

Seeing the soldiers under his tent fell under General Yuan Jun's spears one by one, Zhang Miao rode forward furiously, and sternly reprimanded General Yuan Jun who was on the killing spree.

"Zhang Miao? A certain family was worried about not being able to find a meeting gift, and you came at the right time, so I can use your head as a gift!"

The spear general Yuan groaned in astonishment, but the spear in his hand did not hesitate at all. When the words fell, he jumped up suddenly, and the silver spear pierced the sky, shaking the weapons of the soldiers around Zhang Miao away, and then the gun barrel pushed away. , pierced Zhang Miao's throat accurately.Immediately, seeing the spear turning sharply, Zhang Miao's neck was cut off before he could even scream, his head flew into the air, and Zhang Miao who had lost his head suddenly fell off the horse.

Chapter 699

"What are you still doing in a daze, kill him quickly and avenge your lord!"

Watching Zhang Miao's head beheaded in front of him, the blood spurting from the severed neck splashed Cao Cao's face, he shouted anxiously and ordered Zhang Miao's personal soldiers and thousands of troops to intercept and kill General Yuan.

"Wait a minute!" Cao Cao hadn't finished speaking when he saw a group of troops rushing up behind him, and the leader was Yuan Shao's general Chunyu Qiong.

"Why did Meng De order the beheading of our generals? Did he think that our Jizhou army was easy to bully, and he would kill if he wanted to?"

Chunyu Qiong galloped to Cao Cao's side, his tone was very bad, and he glared at Cao Cao, as if he wanted Cao Cao to give him a satisfactory answer, otherwise he would never sit back and watch Cao Cao wantonly kill the generals of the Jizhou army.

Speaking of which, there are indeed some reasons why Chunyu Qiong dared to call Cao Cao Biao in public.Back then, he, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao were like-minded, and they often went to wine shops and places like Fireworks and Willow Lane together.When Emperor Ling formed the Eighth School of Xiyuan, he, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu were all lieutenants of the Eighth School of Xiyuan; Xu You was a guest under Yuan Shao's tent, and his status was still under him.But since Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, the situation Chunyuqiong faced has taken a turn for the worse. Not only did he lose a battalion of troops in his hands, his mansion was also confiscated by the Xiliang army, forcing him to jump over the wall in a hurry and had to go to Yuan Shao's command.However, Xu You, Yuan Shao's follower in the past, leaped from the dragon's gate and became a very important counselor under Yuan Shao's tent. He could call the wind and rain, and his power was by no means comparable to that of Chun Yuqiong.

There is one more thing I have to mention here, that is the so-called Luoyang celebrities who used to hang out with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others.Since Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, most people chose to join Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, and few people were willing to join Cao Cao.After all, the Yuan family is a well-known family of four generations and three generations, with a wide range of contacts and resources that can be borrowed, far surpassing Cao Cao.Therefore, all the playmates who played together in the past defected to the Yuan brothers, but no one was willing to help Cao Cao.Among them, the most famous ones are: Xu You, Chun Yuqiong, Chen Lin, the Xun brothers and others.

At this moment, Cao Cao was very annoyed at Chunyu Qiong's daring to call his name in front of him, and wished to order Chunyu Qiong, a snob, to be killed.Once upon a time, Chunyu Qiong secretly made friends with him, Cao Cao, and often exchanged letters.Share the friendship and keep it as a good relationship.Especially when he occupied Yanzhou, Chunyu Qiong didn't even dare to breathe in front of Cao Cao.He was respectful and did not dare to be presumptuous at all.I don't want to think that the world is going down, and now Cao Cao's Yanzhou is basically taken by Lu Bu, and he has lost soldiers and generals one after another.Completely devastated; and Chunyu Qiong finally showed his ugly snobbish face.He actually dared to yell five and six in front of everyone, and let out a lot of queer words.

Cao Cao really hates such a villain's behavior and is extremely shameless.

However, the situation is stronger than others, even though Cao Cao was unwilling in every possible way at this time, he was helpless and powerless.When dealing with Chunyu Qiong, he could not offend him in public.On the contrary, he should give in and give way, and not compete with Chun Yuqiong.Clash in public.Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and all his efforts would be defeated by Chunyu Qiong's slander in front of Yuan Shao.

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the handsome Yuan Jiang cut off Zhang Miao's head with a spear. Cao Cao caught a glimpse of this person not only did not rush out of the official way immediately, but also stayed where he was and wantonly killed the soldiers under Zhang Miao's tent. People can stop.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Cao Cao saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. While deliberately intercepting and killing the gang of suspected arsonists, he was also very afraid, for fear that this general Yuan would rush in front of him and stab himself in the horse like Zhang Miao. Next, the head is in a different place.

"General Chunyu, don't be impatient, and listen to Cao's explanation." Waving his hand to stop the movement of the soldiers around him, Cao Cao pointed to the handsome general Yuan who was holding a spear more than [-] steps away, and asked in a deep voice: "General, why don't you take a good look, Is this person the general of League Leader Yuan? Moreover, this person has just beheaded the prefect Zhang Miao in public, and led fifty or sixty young men from the valley barn to kill the generals all the way, with high martial arts skills and extraordinary bravery, he is by no means mediocre."

Having said this, Cao Cao changed his subject sharply and continued: "Whether this person is a general under President Yuan's command or not, just because this thief dared to kill Zhang Miao in public, he is a bold and arrogant person, and the guilt cannot be escaped. Besides, the number of lines Although the ten people spoke with a Jizhou accent, their behavior was very suspicious. They came rushing from the barn in the valley, and no matter whether they encountered Jizhou soldiers or Yanzhou soldiers along the way, they would kill them without mercy. Such an abnormal behavior is really suspicious, and I can't help but Doubt their true identities. Therefore, Cao concluded that these people do not belong to any of the allied princes, but are the villains of the enemy army sent by the Li thief from Xiliang to rob the camp and set fire to it!"

"The troops sent by Thief Li to rob the camp?" Chunyu Qiong turned pale with shock when he heard the words, and responded in astonishment: "Meng De said that more than 50 people are soldiers and horses under Thief Li's command, and they came here to burn down our army's food and grass camp?"

"General Chunyu guessed right." Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said in a thoughtful voice, "If Cao is not mistaken, these murderers in Yuan Jun's armor are actually the ones specially sent by Li Li's command to rob the camp. Centaur!"

"Uh!" Chunyu Qiong was astonished when he heard the sound, but his eyes had already looked at the bloody fight not far away, and he couldn't help frowning, his face was very ugly.But seeing that handsome general Yuan with a long spear, he did exactly what Cao Cao said, regardless of friend or foe, his attacks were extremely vicious, and he would kill everyone along the way, leaving no one alive!

With such a fierce team, Chun Yuqiong didn't need to think too much to know that the Jizhou Army did not have such a strong force that was not afraid of death. Deal with Gongsun Zan who is entrenched in Youzhou.In addition, the 10,000+ soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao's command are almost the same, and they are not considered elite soldiers.
