The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

"At that time, it's not a matter of whether he wants to leave, but whether I want to let him go or not!"

Liu Cong heard the meaning of Cai Mao's words. Now that the situation has reversed and the offensive and defensive positions have changed, Liu Cong felt a little bit more in his mind.

Immediately asked: "In this case, why not take advantage of the situation and attack, if you can tie Yuan Yao, it will be a great achievement!"

Cai Hao only laughed and said: "My lord, don't worry, I can't let Yuan Yao run away so easily, even if Yuan Yao can't be tied up, I will kill ten thousand of him!"

Liu Cong was overjoyed when he heard that, and said directly: "With the words of the military adviser, I just wait for another time to make meritorious service!"

On the other hand, Cai Mao had an inscrutable expression on his face, and replied calmly, "I'm sure we won't have to wait too long!"

...

A few days later, when Liu Xun, who was resisting in the direction of Wuling, withdrew completely, Cai Mao reckoned that Yuan Yao was really going to leave.

After a few big victories, his heart is no better than before, only the heart of sticking to Jiangling.

In the past two days, I have personally stationed in the camp fifty miles outside the city, between Jiangling City and Yuan Yao's camp, constantly monitoring the movement of Yuan Yao's army, and have the idea of ​​sending troops at any time in my heart!

Of course, Cai Mao didn't dare to get too close to Yuan Yao, fifty miles away was just enough for Jiangling's reinforcements to support him at any time.

At the same time, relative also gave himself a safe distance.

As for Huo Jun who kept speaking out, no one in Liu Biao's army listened to his advice after experiencing the great victory in the past few days.

After all, everyone wanted to make another contribution at the last moment of this war.

Anyway, General Huo's martial arts has long been earned.

"Military Master, Yuan Jun has already retreated! The scouts came to report that the tent was completely deserted. There were countless soldiers, food and grass left in it. From a distance, it looked like a hill. Obviously, Yuan Yao is extremely eager to retreat!"

Hearing Cai Zhonglai's report, Cai Mao immediately became excited.

"Okay! I've been waiting for you!"

After shouting, Cai Hao said firmly: "Then Yuan Yao's tens of thousands of troops are here, and they will not be able to retreat overnight. You will go down quickly to prepare your troops, and follow me to break his camp and chase them down. military!"

Cai Zhong was about to take orders to leave immediately, but Cai Mao confessed again: "Wait a minute, let the second son go with me, just follow me."

Cai Zhong responded again, turning around and leaving.

But half an hour later, the battalion, which was always ready, was ready with soldiers and horses, and the army came out in a single file, heading straight for Yuan Jun's camp.

The vanguard army was led by Cai Zhongcai and his two brothers again.

This time was no different than when they were in Jiangxia. Knowing that Yuan Yao had withdrawn, the two brothers rushed towards Yuan Yao's camp like hungry tigers.

In just half a day, they entered the Yuan camp.

Sure enough, the Yuan camp was full of grain and grass, and there was no one in sight.

When Cai Mao's army arrived, the two brothers had already counted their war profits.

"Brother, look, this Yuan Jun really threw away his helmet and armor, leaving so much food here!"

Originally, this Cai Mao also set a rule for the two of them. In the army, he should only call himself a military adviser and not be called a clan brother.

But looking at the excited faces of the two, Cai Mao also knew that he was affected by the great victory, after all, he didn't blame him, but just looked at the food and grass and began to think secretly.

"Yuan Yao's army was short of food. Now that they don't even need food and grass, they must have really left."

"If you can't kill the enemy general, if you can bring some food and grass back, it's not bad!"

The moment is to let people pack up the food and grass, and prepare to be escorted back to Jiangling.

It was the harvest time, but the scouts reported: "Military division, there is still a small group of Yuan Jun soldiers not far ahead, and they are retreating to the west."

Cai Mao immediately realized that it must be Yuan Yao's troops!

Asked directly: "Can you see the banner it is playing?"

"It's the Gan character flag!"

It's Gan Ning!

Cai Mao immediately understood that the queen was the traitor from Jingzhou!

As for Gan Ning, not only Huo Jun had a grudge against him, but Cai Mao was no better.

The scene of being forced into the camp by his thousand riders that day is still vivid in his memory, and now he has the opportunity to avenge his shame, how can Cai Mao miss it!

Immediately, he said harshly: "Pass my military order, hunt down and kill Gan Ning's troops immediately, I must catch that traitor and come back to question him!"

After that, he personally led the troops out to chase and kill Na Gan Ning.

After traveling for about an hour, they finally caught up with the enemy's tail.

Gan Ning also seemed to be aware of it, and he put on a military stance to face Cai Mao directly.

However, Cai Mao was extremely proud when he saw it.

Gan Ning, with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, marched with food and supplies, no wonder he walked so slowly.

And the other party didn't seem to expect that he would come so quickly, but seeing Gan Ning's face full of surprise, he said to himself: "It's so fast!"

Hearing this, Cai Hao immediately laughed out loud, and proudly said: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, you will win every battle. In the past few days, I have been sending out scouts to look for your army's movements, but I have never seen your scouts."

"So numb and careless, you just think that I dare not go out of the city to answer the enemy's call?"

However, Gan Ning's eyes sharpened when he heard this, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Cai Mao! You were caught in an ambush by our army and you didn't know it, so you're so proud!"

ambush?

When Gan Ning said that, Cai Mao was naturally surprised.

However, he quickly realized that Gan Ning was lying to himself.

He had already sent scouts to investigate repeatedly, so Yuan Yao could still lie in ambush here?

He said straightly: "Gan Ning, it's a pity that your young master doesn't know how to use magic weapons from heaven, today is your death day!"

Chapter 214 Divine Soldier descends from heaven

After Cai Mao finished speaking, he led the soldiers and went straight to kill.

Seeing the army coming, Gan Ning didn't hesitate, he immediately fought and retreated, wanting to go to the county behind him.

After all, Gan Ning was extremely brave, he fought from dusk to night, and really let him lead the remnant soldiers into the county town behind him.

However, such a battle of trapped beasts could not be let off by Cai Mao.

Zhi shouted outside the city: "Gan Ning, your young master has given up on you! If you don't pray for surrender quickly, I can still leave your whole body!"

Gan Ning just didn't answer, looking at the army outside the city, his mind only thought about Yuan Yao's confession to him before he left.

"Xingba, whether this battle can be won or not, and whether it can be completed in one battle, depends on how long you can hold it off."

"As long as you can delay it long enough, then Jiangling will be destroyed!"

"However, this battle with you is a narrow escape!"

"I can't provide you with any reinforcements, I can only plan the best route for you."

"As for entering the county town, whether you live or die, it all depends on your luck!"

What the young master said was terrifying, but also very clear.

Said it was a narrow escape, but Gan Ning knew that the young master still took some.

This trip should be death without life.

However, he agreed without any hesitation.

"Young master, don't worry, even if I die in battle, I will only die in front of that Cai Mao, there is no other way!"

The young master didn't say much when he heard what he said, but just patted himself heavily.

But I know that even though I don't say anything, the young master will never forget all this.

Mr. Kuang is so kind to him, how can he cherish his life alone?

Fight with your life!

But at this moment, in order to prevent that Cai Mao from losing his mind about him, Gan Ning scolded: "Cai Mao! You led thousands of troops and were retreated by my thousand people, but you have no guts!"

"Grandpa is here today, let's see if you can move a hair!"

Cai Mao never thought Gan Ning could be so arrogant when he was already on the verge of death.

Sparks almost appeared in his eyes, and he wanted to order the siege immediately.

But seeing that it was getting late, he still couldn't figure out the situation in the city.

If there is an ambush in this city, it is a trap for oneself.

Although I knew it was unlikely, but seeing that the chances of winning were within my grasp, why take any more risks?

He could only be patient and blocked the siege of this small county, so he had to break through the city and behead the lunatic at dawn the next day!

...

Silent all night.

When dawn arrived, Cai Mao immediately ordered the whole army to break through the city.

Gan Ning fought fiercely and fought to the death on the tower.

However, there are too many Cai Mao troops.

Everyone knows that the enemy cannot defend the city, and everyone knows that capturing the enemy general is a great achievement.

They all rushed towards Gan Ning desperately!

Gan Ning refused to guard the tower, and danced with two halberds in an airtight manner, killing ten soldiers who were close to him.

However, looking at the densely packed Cai Mao army downstairs, Gan Ning also knew that the tower could not be defended.

Immediately retreated from the city tower and fled to the county seat.

Cai Mao outside saw it clearly, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't let that Gan Ning run away. Whoever can capture Gan Ning will be rewarded!"

Cai Mao was ridiculed by Gan Ning one after another, and he hated Cai Hao deeply in his heart, and wanted to capture him alive and torture him, and at the same time, he could justify his name.

However, for ordinary soldiers, killing others is also killing, killing Gan Ning is also killing, and there is a danger of missing.

That being the case, then you must go for the credit!

I saw a group of people rushing straight to Gan Ning, all vying to be the first to be rewarded for their meritorious service.

Seeing this scene, Gan Ning immediately ran into an unoccupied household, making the last struggle.

...

Behind Cai Mao, Yuan Yao's original camp was now taken by Liu Cong.

As Liu Biao's second son, he is now obviously more valued by Liu Biao than the eldest son.

After Cai Mao personally chased and killed Yuan Jun and left, although Liu Cong did not have much military power, who would dare to neglect him.

Just let him sit in the largest camp, just like the commander in chief of the army.

As for Cai Zhong and Cai He, now under Cai Mao's instructions, he followed Liu Cong closely, acting like a prince and close minister.

In the big tent, Liu Cong sat comfortably, without any anxiety.

He even asked Cai Zhong in a dignified manner, and Cai He said, "Where is the military division now?"

It's just that they didn't want this simple question to embarrass the two of them.

Seeing that the two looked at each other for a moment, Cai He replied indifferently: "My lord, this military adviser is sure to do things safely, so there's no need for us to worry about it. I really don't know where we are now."

"However, if you think about it, you won't be there for too long, maybe you will come back at night."

Liu Cong frowned upon hearing this.

He only hummed: "Shouldn't the scouts be sent to spy everywhere?"

But Er Cai said with a smile: "Now there is no need to be so troublesome, then Yuan Jun's army food is gone, what else can he do?"

"What's more, the army of the military division is right ahead. Please don't worry, my son. We will return with the rewards when the military division returns. At that time, you will return to Xiangyang victoriously, and you will be famous!"

Hearing this, Liu Cong also forgot about the scouting, and said with a smile: "It's also thanks to the two escorts all the way, Cong will never forget!"

Er Cai was overjoyed again, and was about to say a few more modest words when he heard a soldier rushing over from outside the tent, with a flustered look on his face, he shouted after entering the tent, "General, dust and smoke billowed outside the west side of the barracks, and there seemed to be a large army." Attack!"

In one sentence, Liu Cong's form was broken.
