Great Wei Nengchen

Sun Ce clearly replied to the Hebei envoy, saying that there is no problem in attacking Cao Jun from the north and the south. Ten thousand sets, 30 long spears, 30 steel knives, [-] crossbows, [-] spike arrows, and [-] top-grade horses!

After listing the list of supplies, Sun Ce also put forward a condition: "Attack between the north and the south, and destroy Cao Cao together. After the incident is completed, the Jianghuai, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou lands will all belong to the Jiangdong Group. Hebei soldiers and horses must not touch an inch. The oath is not to break the contract. After the supplies are delivered, he immediately sends troops to the north!

"Young son of the Sun family is as greedy as a tiger and demands endlessly. You sent troops to the north, asked Hebei to supply arms, food and grass, and even divided up a large area of ​​land. You are stealing the heart of this old man!"

Knowing the conditions put forward by the Jiangdong Group, Yuan Shao was furious, smashed five teacups in a row, his face turned purple, and finally he gritted his teeth and agreed to all the conditions!

No way, the original "six-way siege" has become a "north-south pincer attack", and we must rely heavily on the Jiangdong Group. As long as Sun Ce sends troops to the north, he can contain the [-] Cao troops in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Shouchun, and divert a large number of them. In this way, Yuan Jun will go south in a big way, and there will be a three-point chance of winning!

Yuan Shao has already made up his mind, compromise for the time being, and send out supplies. After defeating Cao Cao and conquering Xuchang, he will immediately march south and flatten Jiangdong. At that time, the supplies, land, and beauties will all be his own. I have heard that Jiangdong Second Qiao, the world is beautiful, anyway, for Yuan Shi, swearing is equivalent to eating Chinese cabbage. After digesting it, just pull it out, and it can also enrich a piece of land!

Hebei and Jiangdong are separated by thousands of miles, and Cao Jun’s territory is separated in the middle. There is no way to travel by land, so the only way to go is by water. Yuan Shao immediately ordered that after allocating supplies, send them to Qingzhou by chariot and horse, and arrange ships to go south along the coast. Hoist the sails and set sail to Wujun!

China is a farming nation and has always relied on the land to survive. However, the level of shipping is not bad. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there were large-scale water battles between Wu and Yue. ', specializing in naval training, exploring sea transportation, and building a kind of building ship, which is five feet high and more than ten feet long. It is divided into upper and lower floors. It can carry more than a thousand soldiers and thousands of stones.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Thousands of miles of the Yellow River, with nine twists and turns, tens of thousands of people are heading south. We must find a good ferry. It is best to go straight to Xuchang and destroy Cao's lair!"

After all, Jiangdong is a strange soldier all the way. If he wants to completely defeat Cao Jun, he mainly depends on the Hebei Group. Thinking of this, Yuan Shao took out a cowhide map and checked it carefully. His eyes fell on three places-Baima-Yanjin-Guandu!

The place to cross the river has been found, but Yuan Shao is still a little hesitant about sending troops south. The six-way attack on Cao failed, and the allies broke the contract one after another. This has a great impact on the morale of the Hebei army. bide your time!

Ju Shou privately suggested that troops be stationed in Liyang, stockpile food and grass, train soldiers and horses, and wait until the Jiangdong Group sends troops to the north, and after fighting with Cao Jun to lose both sides, it will not be too late for Hebei soldiers and horses to go south again. This is called sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight!

Tian Feng went straight to the big tent, and in front of all civil and military officials, he bluntly remonstrated, thinking that the six-way siege failed, and the decisive battle was very unfavorable at this time. , and then consider sending troops!

One advocates slowing down and the other retreats. To be honest, Yuan Shao is quite moved by the suggestions of the two counselors. Cao Cao is resourceful and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. He is extremely strong. If the two armies confront each other, he will not be sure of victory. ah?

The problem is, he opened his bow without turning back, and he officially announced to the world that he sent out troops with great fanfare to challenge the thieves. He returned to Ye City in despair without even seeing the enemy. The princes of the world and the people of the four quarters, wouldn’t they be laughing out loud? , as the fourth generation and third father, no matter what, you can't lose face!

"Report! --Xu Chang sent a letter, saying it was written by Prime Minister Cao himself. Please open it and read it face to face!"

While hesitating, the captain under the tent ran in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, holding an urgent message in his hand, with three feathers stuck on it, which meant eight hundred miles to hurry up!

"Bring it to me quickly!...Wow!...Cao Ah dared to do this, I swear to you that I will not give up, order the three armies, set up a stronghold, press on the white horse, and fight Cao's decisive battle!"

After Yuan Shao watched it, he suddenly became furious, his expression was ashamed and embarrassing, his facial features were a little distorted, and there were only four sentences in the letter: "Little stupid thief, robbed the bride at night, strayed into the thorns, and fled naked!"

It’s a long story. Back then in Luoyang, the eastern capital, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu knew each other. They were all sons of riches and nobles.

However, at that time there was a lack of entertainment, and the daily horseback riding and hunting became boring over time. It happened that a large family got married, and Cao Cao, who had the most spooky ideas, came up with an idea to play an exciting game. They went to steal the bride together. The prank of a rebellious boy!

The plan was as follows: Cao Cao set a fire outside to attract the attention of the guests. Yuan Shao took the opportunity to sneak into the bridal chamber and steal the bride out. Yuan Shu, who was the least courageous, was in charge of waiting and watching!

Things started smoothly, the guests were lured away, and the bride also sneaked out. Who knows that Yuan Shao was young and couldn't bear it for a while, so he touched the bride a few times, causing a burst of screams, revealing his whereabouts, and the guests chased them out with sticks Well, if the thief is caught, he will be beaten badly!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao was the most cunning, he changed his body and pretended to be the person who came to put out the fire, but he was unscathed, and he ate a feast for nothing; At any rate, he escaped safely; only Yuan Shao was the most unlucky, he was chased to the sky, entered the gate of hell, managed to escape over the wall, and fell into the thorn bushes, hooking his clothes!

The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the person rushes to the room. In a hurry, Yuan Shao tore his robes, jumped out of the thorn bushes, and fled into the night with his bare buttocks, leaving only a white back, and the words "naked thief, night thief" The legend of the bride' has become a joke among Luoyang people, and it has been discussed for a long time!

This matter is the great shame of Yuan Shao's life, and it is also a secret among his friends. It has never been exposed for decades. Now that Cao Cao brings up the old story again and uses "streaking" to make fun of it, how can Yuan Shao not be angry? ?

"This old man is the hegemon of the four generations and three princes, and the overlord of the four states. How can he be humiliated by the eunuchs? It is tolerable, which one is unbearable. When we meet each other, the victor will be king!"

Yuan Shao immediately issued an order to take his second son Yuan Xi as the county guard, and lead 40 troops to stay in the Liyang base camp to secure logistics supplies.

Chapter 834 Vanguard General

"Sun Tzu said: Don't do nothing unless it is beneficial, don't use it unless it is necessary, do not fight unless it is dangerous, the Lord should not be angry and start a teacher, the general should not be angry and go to war, move when it is beneficial, stop when it is not beneficial... Yuan Benchu ​​claimed to be familiar with it The art of war, proficiency in strategy, but unfortunately I didn't understand the essence of it!"

Xuchang-Prime Minister's Mansion, learned that Hebei troops were marching south, Cao Cao showed a sneer, and calmly recited "Sun Tzu's Art of War-Fire Attack". Can taste a new taste!

Yuan Jun's 40 horses rushed over, and the vanguard troops approached the important town of Baima. Give it a go!"

For several months, the Caoying Group has been actively preparing for the war, accumulating food and grass, and building equipment. The soldiers practiced day and night, and did not dare to slack off. Now the number of troops assembled near Xuchang has reached 17, all of which are elites from various states. Soldiers, fight bravely, with one as ten, and equipped with excellent armor and weapons, you are definitely a tiger and wolf division!

As for grain and grass, the crops in the states and counties have matured. After harvesting and drying, all the autumn grain has been put into storage, which is enough to last for several months. There are more than 50 mules and more than 3 carts, which are enough to guarantee logistics transportation!

The next step is to arrange the expedition and the issue of the left behind personnel. In the battle together, the front will charge and fight bloody battles, and the rear will raise money and food and provide full support. The responsibilities are different, but equally important, and must be properly arranged!

This time, in the battle of life and death, Cao Cao went into battle in person. Counselors: Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Man Chong, Liu Ye... accompanied the army, staffed the military aircraft, generals: Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Chu , Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin... Commanding the troops, charging forward, such a strong lineup is really unprecedented!

In addition, the third son of the Cao family - Cao Zhang, and the fifth son - Cao Xiong, went out together with the army. This was also specially arranged by Cao Cao. One was to hone the abilities of the sons and let them see the bloody battlefield so that they would not become captive lambs; It can also motivate the morale of the three armies. The two sons of the Cao family, the eldest is 15 years old, and the youngest is only [-] years old. They all go into battle, and the rest of the soldiers will naturally fight the enemy bravely.

The second son, Cao Pi, sits in the prime minister's mansion and controls the Xuchang garrison. In case of emergency, he has the right to "kill first and then play".

In addition, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, the sons of the clan, were specially appointed to lead the guards and guard the safety of the palace. In fact, the little emperor was put under house arrest to prevent anyone from plotting wrongdoing. Cao Cao also issued a secret order: "The imperial city is important. Mutation, slaying the dragon with dark hands!"

It is a political trump card in Cao Cao's hands to hold the emperor to order the princes. At the critical moment, he would rather destroy it than fall into the hands of others, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Anyway, there are many clansmen in the Han Dynasty, so he replaced it with a "Liu" Still be the emperor!

After arranging various things, Cao Cao called Cao Pi to the secret room, gave him three kits, and repeatedly asked: "There are changes in Jiangdong, open the first kit, and there are changes in the court, open the second kit. If there is a change in the Marquis of Chou's Mansion, then open the third one, as long as you are ruthless enough and act according to the plan, you can keep the Prime Minister's Mansion safe and sound, but it's best not to open the third bag forever!"

Leaving three tips in advance is not because Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, but as a politician, he must make all preparations. This decisive battle is related to the life and death of the Cao family, and it will also change the fate of many people. In the face of power, no one can be completely trusted except yourself, this is treacherous ambition!

Everything was ready, and then, according to the process of the expedition, Cao Cao did three things, first: bid farewell to the emperor, and went to the stage to pay homage to the general...

Ever since Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, ascended the high platform and appointed Han Xin as the general, this set of rules has been handed down. Whenever a large army goes out to fight, the emperor of the Han family must fast, bathe, choose a good day, climb the high platform, and officially bestow tiger charms and command flags to show Respect the general!

The power to command the army cannot be shaken. From this moment on, if there is a conflict between the "imperial decree" and the "military order", the soldiers will only obey the latter. '

Cao Cao's name is Han Chancellor, and he is actually the regent. He has already mastered the military and political power, and the tiger talisman and command flag are also in his own hands. Armor, walked up to the Qilin Hall, bowed and saluted, the little emperor stood up from the dragon chair, raised his hand and returned the half salute, the ceremony is over!

The second thing is to worship the demon god Chiyou. This rule is even more ancient. It has been formed as early as in ancient times. The gods of the road must worship Chi You and pray for the blessing of the "devil god".

Regarding this matter, Cao Cao did not dare to be sloppy. After fasting and bathing, he personally led a group of civil and military officials to the Demon God-Chi You Temple, burned incense and worshiped, kowtowed piously, and made a great wish: "This expedition, if To be victorious, after the triumphant return of the army, the temple must be rebuilt for Lord Demon God, and then a golden body, three animals, virgin boys and virgins, gold, silver and jewelry..."

People fight for one breath, gods fight for one stick of incense, with so many tributes, I believe that the demon god Chi You will protect Cao Jun and return home in triumph!

The third thing, and the most important thing, is to hold a grand expedition ceremony, select a vanguard general, and send troops to meet the enemy...

………………………………………………………………………………

The third year of Jian'an - Autumn, October [-]th, auspicious day of the zodiac, five stars in a row, benefit in the east, good luck to send troops!

"Boom!—Boom! Boom!"

"Woo! - woo! woo!"

...........................

In the south of Xuchang City - on the Colonel's military field, the drums are like thunder, and the horns are continuous. The soldiers from various ministries, a total of 17 million horses, are neatly lined up here. Looking around, the flags are fluttering, the people and horses are like a wave, the knives and guns are flashing, and the murderous spirit is soaring. This scene is really hard to write and draw pictures. Only by standing among them can you feel the masculinity of the army!

"Yuan Shao bullied the heavens and the earth, rebelled against the imperial court, poisoned the common people, harmed the living beings, was brutal and inhumane, and accumulated crimes! ... Today, according to the emperor's edict, he commanded the three armies and vowed to wipe out the four prefectures of Hebei, exterminate the Yuan family, and support the Han Dynasty , to save the people..."

On the commanding stage, Cao Cao's golden helmet and armor, a big red cloak, and a heavenly sword leaning on his waist, read aloud the oath of battle with his own magnetic voice...

"Swipe! - Swipe! Swipe!"
