The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

"It is reasonable for the eldest son to have such a defeat."

It's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy army is too strong!

This trial match obviously meant that Yuan Yaozhi was strong, but it also secretly reminded Yuan Shang not to underestimate the enemy.

However, Yuan Shang didn't think so in his heart.

"Now that my elder brother lost to Yuan Yao, although my father didn't blame him, and even changed him to another place, but I know that my elder brother is no longer in my father's eyes!"

"It's just that now that he's gone to Bingzhou, maybe he can figure out what tricks he can find."

"I think I can't give him another chance to stand up."

It would not be easy not to give Yuan Tan a chance to stand up, but this time, there is a shortcut in front of Yuan Shang.

"If elder brother loses to that Yuan Yao, but I can win, how can I have any part in establishing a reserve in the future?"

After much deliberation, this Yuan Shang actually got the idea to defeat that Yuan Yao himself.

But speaking of it, Yuan Shang had a good idea.

If Yuan Shang could really defeat Yuan Yao himself, wouldn't that honor his father Yuan Shao?

Since then, how could he still see Yuan Tan in his father's eyes?

How could Yuan Shao have imagined that this small act of his momentary soft-heartedness would cause another chaotic scene.

Xin Ping Guo Tu, who originally thought that Yuan Tan was about to lose power, began to have expectations again, and his youngest son, Yuan Shang, felt that he was in danger, so he decided to compete with Yuan Yao.

It doesn't seem like a good thing for several sons to be strong!

Chapter 414 Dad Still Couldn't Hold Back

Yuan Benchu's family background in the north does not have much influence on the current situation in the Central Plains.

Cao Ren was defeated and Yingchuan was captured, that was the top priority!

Once Yingchuan is lost, Chen Liu will be attacked from both sides. This is not a joke.

Cao Cao immediately thought about it, and wanted to take a step back for a while.

It's just that this idea just came up, and it was vetoed by Guo Jia.

"If Chen Liu retreats again, I don't think the prime minister will have to guard Jiyin, Shanyang, let alone Dongjun. He may take the emperor directly to Hebei to have a chance."

Perhaps because he knew that this moment was really a matter of life and death, what Guo Jia said was not to show Cao Cao any face.

Cao Cao was ashamed when he heard this, but he also knew that Guo Jia's honest words were harsh.

The thought of retreating came to my mind, but I didn't know how to deal with the two sides.

He could only ask: "However, Yingchuan has been broken, so Yuan Shu must know that he has been attacked before and after, how could he do it?"

Guo Jia heard it, but said bluntly: "Although Yingchuan is broken, it is still unknown whether it is a blessing or a curse!"

Cao Cao was very surprised and asked: "How do you say this?"

But Guo Jia said: "If Yingchuan is not broken, then the Huainan army and the Jingzhou army will fight every step of the way, without revealing any flaws."

"If this continues, it will be detrimental to our army's defeat of the enemy."

"However, once Yingchuan is broken today, Yuan Shu will have a different idea!"

Cao Cao couldn't speak, but Guo Jia, who was thinking deeply, spoke.

But Guo Jia went on to say: "Today the Prime Minister is thinking about retreating, which is also what ordinary people think. If the Prime Minister is going to retreat, then Yuan Shu must also believe that it is true."

"Then Yuan Shu has always been narrow-minded and holds grudges deeply. If there is an opportunity to defeat the prime minister, then Yuan Shu must not miss it."

Cao Cao understood it right away, he followed Guo Jia's words and said: "Fengxiao means to lure the enemy to go deep. Taking advantage of Yuan Shu's thought that I would also retreat, I did the opposite and took a step forward. , ambush that Yuan Shu?"

Guo Jia exclaimed, "Exactly!"

"Yuan Shu lived in Liang State and attacked Chenliu, thinking that his back would be safe, but we gave him a blow to make him know the consequences of being complacent!"

Cao Cao fell into silence when he heard this.

I have to say that Guo Jia is really brave enough.

Now that the Yingchuan River to the west has been broken, Jingzhou soldiers and horses will definitely mobilize their troops in a few days to join Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shu in the east knew this news, he would definitely attack with a large army. If he marched steadily, he would never get a chance.

If the trick to lure the enemy is seen through, it will be even worse.

But I heard Cao Cao say again: "Although with the talent of Yuan Gonglu, most of the tricks to lure the enemy cannot be discerned, but with his son Yuan Yao, I am afraid it will not work."

Guo Jia said: "Success or failure, you have to try!"

"Not only do we have to try, but we also have to try with all our strength to see if we can kill our rear general!"

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat.

This is to "behead"!

Never thought that this Guo Jia not only wanted to set up an ambush, but also had such a big heart that he wanted Yuan Shu's life!

Of course, Cao Cao also knew that if he could really kill Yuan Shu, there would be a lot of benefits.

Don't say anything else, just talking about the offensive at this time, you must stop temporarily and give yourself a chance to breathe.

And even if Yuan Shu has only one son, Yuan Yao, who will succeed him, Yuan Yao is also very talented, but if his father dies, it is really not certain whether there will be internal chaos.

Even if there is no chaos inside, if I, Cao Cao, add some fuel to him, there is no guarantee that the fire will not start.

And once there are some clues inside, the tigers and wolves outside will have their thoughts.

For example, Lu Bu from Xuzhou may have a different idea!

It's just that Yuan Shu has so many soldiers and horses, it is really not an easy task to kill him.

Cao Cao immediately frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to be filial piety, so Yuan Yao is just like his father Yuan Shu, and he cherishes his life very much."

"Its army surrounded Yuan Gonglu in groups. Even if it can be used to lure the enemy, Yuan Shu might be able to kill him."

Guo Jia heard this but said: "This is the best result. If it doesn't work, it would be a good thing to just kill Yuan Shu."

Although he heard what Guo Jia said, Cao Cao knew that in his heart, he probably regarded Yuan Shu as his number one target.

Thinking again, he said: "If we withdraw our army today, I'm afraid it will be like what Feng Xiao said, one defeat after another, and finally fight to the death in Puyang, and finally end up going far away to Hebei."

"However, what is the probability of successfully attacking Yuan Shu?"

"There's only a [-]% chance, and that's enough to fight for myself!"

With a secret decision in his heart, Cao Cao also said to Guo Jia: "At this critical moment, when you can no longer think of a safe method, act according to the plan of filial piety."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, then Yuan Shu must be very happy, and he wants to capture the Prime Minister, and he will fall into the trap."

Cao Cao was encouraged by Guo Jia, and Cao Cao's idea of ​​withdrawing from Chenliu was completely dispelled.

Yuan Shu was really guessed by Guo Jia.

Hearing that Yingchuan had been breached and that Cao Ren had been defeated, he immediately became excited.

This damn Cao Cao is under siege from the east and the west, is he still resisting?

It must be retreating steadily, nothing to say!

"This time, we can't tell Cao Cao to run away!"

Of course, Yuan Shu also knew that there were some very powerful people around Cao Cao.

Especially that Xu Chu, who is simply a pure reckless man, no one can match him.

So Yuan Shu also made up his mind, that is, no matter what Cao Cao said, he would not pay attention to it, and only suppressed it with troops.

"No matter how powerful that mother's Xu Chu is, how can he kill a hundred of them?"

With such thoughts in mind, Yuan Shu raised his army and went straight to Chen Liu.

Jiwu, Daji, Xiangyi, Chengkuang.

Several cities were destroyed one after another, and no one dared to stop Yuan Shu's army.

Yuan Shu fought smoothly, but he was a little worried.

But it's not that he was worried about whether Cao Cao would have other plans after losing all the way, but whether he would make Cao Cao run away again.

He didn't believe that Cao Cao could still resist under such circumstances.

"Back then in the Kuangting battle, he was chased and killed by Cao Mengde all the way, but now we can let him have a taste of it."

Thinking about it this way, Yuan Shu couldn't let Cao Cao run away.

He just asked all the generals around him to chase after Cao Cao all the way.I am the city that I collected all the way, it really went smoothly.

On this side, the general pursued in depth, and on the other hand, the army led by him swept up behind him.

There will inevitably be a disconnect between one and the other.

Yuan Yaoluo might tell his father a few words, that Cao Cao is not such a character who just takes beatings and doesn't fight back.

It's a pity that Yuan Yao is still in Yingchuan now, and has only arrived in Xuchang in the past few days, and he is going to join Lu Su's army to make some adjustments before continuing to advance.

He didn't know that his father couldn't bear it anymore, so he went all the way to chase and kill Cao Cao!

Chapter 415 Yuan Shu's Catastrophe

Chen Liu, Mingyan Pavilion.

This is already the deep part of Chenliu County.

It is not far from Kuangting back then.

Seeing this opportunity of shame is in front of him, how can Yuan Shu let it go?

There were several military orders in succession, asking Ji Ling in the front not to let Cao Cao go, and to beat me hard and heartily.

It seems that Cao Cao has completely lost his fighting ability like a bereaved dog.

And Yuan Shu, who swept all the way without encountering any resistance, felt that Cao Cao was completely no match for him.

He only thought that it would be best to defeat Cao Cao himself, which seemed even more perfect.

"General, there is news from General Ji that the Kuang Pavilion has been broken, but we still haven't seen Cao Cao!"

On this day, Yuan Shu was leading the army until noon, but when he heard the report from Li Feng beside him, he felt a little joy in his heart.

"The Kuang Pavilion is broken?"

"But after all, it's a shame!"

He just heard that although the Kuang Pavilion was broken, Cao Cao was not there, and Ji Ling felt lonely.After the excitement in Yuan Shu's heart passed, there was another burst of emptiness.

"It's a pity that Cao Cao wasn't defeated in Kuangting, but it's a bit boring."

In fact, it's no wonder Yuan Shu couldn't forget the matter of Kuang Ting back then.

If he hadn't lost to Cao Cao in Kuangting, Yuan Shu would not have left Nanyang, and it took several years before he had the chance to return.

The resentment that has been lingering in my heart for many years has not been revealed until today, how can it not make people a little excited.

Although he failed to defeat Cao Cao in Kuangting, it is always a happy thing to reach a place that he had not reached in the past.

But Yuan Shu and Li Feng beside him said: "How far is Ji Ling's army from our army now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng responded immediately: "If you hurry up and go all the way, there will be at least five days' journey."

"It's so far away!"

Yuan Shu couldn't help being slightly surprised when he heard this.

After all, when Ji Ling set off, he was only half a day ahead of his own army.

I don't want to think that the distance between the two armies is not far away now!

It was also that Cao Cao hadn't resisted all the way, and he had kept collecting cities, rectifying troops and horses all the way, and kept delaying, which caused the gap between the two armies.

"That's not possible!"

Yuan Shu thought secretly.

The difference between the two armies is too far. If this continues, the gap that may arise will be used by Cao Cao.
