Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Jiang Yiqu naturally knew that this thing was an imperial decree, but Jiang Yiqu was at a loss as to what Ma Teng was doing for his imperial decree.

Jiang Yiqu opened the imperial decree and saw that his hands trembled involuntarily, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

To confer the title of General Zhenbei, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty personally decreed the canonization, I have to say, this is really sincere.

To tell the truth, it would be a lie if Jiang Yiqu said in his heart that he was not moved.At the moment he saw the imperial decree, Jiang Yiqu even really had the urge to surrender to Cao Cao.

However, this is only a momentary impulse.After calming down, Jiang Yiqu also knew that even after he voted for Cao Cao, he might not be able to be reused.

On Cao Cao's side, there are fierce generals like clouds and rain, and he knows exactly what Jiang Yiqu is.In Cao Ying, his ability was not ranked high, and if he surrendered to Cao Cao, he would have no ability to surrender, but he would have to be excluded under the title of General Zhenbei conferred by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

It can't be said that if you do one thing wrong, your head will be gone.Jiang Yiqu still understands the truth that a person is innocent but pregnant with guilt.

After suppressing these messy thoughts in his heart, Jiang Yiqu said to Ma Teng, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Ma Teng is also a scheming person, he did not directly mention the matter of letting Jiang Yiqu vote for Cao.Instead, he pretended to be cautious, and said to Jiang Yiqu: "I heard that my nephew was depressed in Yuan Benchu, so my uncle went to His Majesty to ask for orders for my nephew."

"Your Majesty's General Zhenbei, he, Yuan Benchu, can't possibly deny it?"

It stands to reason that this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty.The official position granted by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he, Yuan Shao, a prince, had to recognize it.

However, Jiang Yiqu was able to take this imperial decree foolishly and tell Yuan Shao, this is the official appointed by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and from now on I will be the general of Zhenbei.

If Jiang Yiqu had said this to Yuan Shao, there was no doubt that he would have to step into the big tent with his left foot the next day, and then be beheaded for public display.

Then again, General Zhenbei, whoever is on the north side, Yuan Shao is on the north side, this General Zhenbei, the one who is in the town is Yuan Shao.

Although Ma Teng didn't say a word about asking Jiang Yiqu to surrender to Cao Cao, Jiang Yiqu had to surrender to Cao Cao if he wanted the official position of General Zhenbei.

With a hesitant look on his face, Jiang Yiqu said to Ma Teng: "Uncle, my nephew has to think about it."

"Good! Good!"

"Then you go back and think about it first, and when you have a result, send someone to call me." Ma Teng readily agreed.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Jiang Yiqu stuffed the imperial decree into his arms, got on his horse and left.

"Father, let him go like this?" Matthew asked his father.

Ma Teng smiled slightly and said: "Everything is too late, and you can't push too hard. Speaking of the present, didn't he take away the imperial decree?"

In Ma Teng's view, since Jiang Yiqu took the imperial decree away, it meant that he had this intention in mind.If he didn't have this intention, then he would not accept the imperial decree.

"Brother Jiang will definitely agree!" Ma Tie said innocently, clenched his fists.

Jiang Yiqu returned to the camp, beat his horse around the front of the camp several times, was very entangled, finally gritted his teeth, and walked towards Yuan Shao's tent.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already rested.Hearing that Jiang Yiqu came back from seeing Ma Teng, he hurriedly received Jiang Yiqu.

Yuan Shao held the imperial decree and looked at it for a long time, then threw the imperial decree aside.He said coldly: "This is Cao Cao's handwriting, General Zhenbei, Zhenbei!"

After saying this, Yuan Shao asked Jiang Yiqu, "Do you want to be General Zhenbei?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yiqu quickly fell to his knees and shouted: "The loyalty of the last general to King Jin can be learned from heaven and earth."

"Ha ha!"

"That's what the lonely king asked, Yiqu, don't worry too much." Yuan Shao patted Jiang Yiqu's shoulder and said.

"It seems that Ma Shoucheng and Cao Ah have really fallen for the trick. Send Yuan Hao over quickly, and we need to discuss the next step." Yuan Shao instructed his attendants.

Chapter 478 Preparing for an Ambush

Yuan Shao sent someone to summon Tian Feng, and handed over the imperial decree to Tian Feng to have a look. Everyone knew that Cao Ah had lied to him that this was a trick.

After Tian Feng thought for a moment, he said to Yuan Shao: "Prince Jin, this matter should not be delayed, since Cao Ah Man has already obtained the imperial edict, then we can follow the trend."

"I think so. Isn't General Gao Lan's rear army coming? Let's ask General Jiang to secretly tell Ma Teng the news, and then we will set up an ambush. At that time, Cao Cao will definitely send a general to rob him."

"In this way, we can take the opportunity to intercept and kill one of the generals, Cao Ah. If one of the generals under his command is killed, Cao Ah, in a fit of anger, will kill Ma Teng and his son. At that time, we can say that we will kill two birds with one stone."

After Tian Feng's analysis, Yuan Shao felt that this matter was very reliable, so he just did it.

Yuan Shao immediately made a decision and said, "Just follow what the military adviser said, and we will do it like this."

After making up his plan, he just waited for Gao Lan's rear army to arrive.At the beginning, Yuan Shao stayed with Gao Lan to rectify Gongsun Zan's Youzhou soldiers. Now that the Youzhou soldiers were rectified, Gao Lan came to support them with the grain and grass collected from Youzhou.

After all, Cao Cao is not a fool. If he wants to get Cao Cao to take the bait, at least the news must be true.

Three days later, Gao Lan's rear army was not far from the Yanjin battlefield.Gao Lan brought Yuan Shao a lot of food and grass this time, the most important thing is that he brought [-] horses and [-] elite soldiers.

Yanjin Ferry.

Cao's army camp.

"Father, brother Jiang sent someone to deliver a letter." Ma Tie said, and handed the letter in his hand to Ma Teng.

When Ma Teng opened the letter, he was immediately overjoyed.Jiang Yiqu not only agreed to serve Cao Cao, but also gave them Gao Lan's marching route.After Ma Teng took the letter, he hurried to meet Cao Cao.

Cao's army camp.

Chinese army tent.

"King Wei, Jiang Yiqu has sent you a letter." Ma Teng said, handing the letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the letter and read it, and he was overjoyed immediately.What made Cao Cao most envious was the five thousand horses brought by Gao Lan.

Cavalry is the most powerful arm in this era, with [-] horses, which means that [-] new cavalry can be formed.

The [-] horses originally belonged to Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao got it, he could form [-] cavalry.However, if Cao Cao robs the five thousand horses, then Cao Cao can form five thousand cavalry.

Calculated in this way, Cao Cao has five thousand more cavalry, and Yuan Shao has five thousand less cavalry. After rounding, wouldn't it mean that Cao Cao has ten thousand more cavalry than Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao can't be excited.

Of course, excitement is excitement, and Cao Cao is not a fool.Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, so he must send someone to investigate.

Cao Cao immediately sent out scouts, and after investigating Gao Lan's marching route according to the letter, he found that the contents of Jiang Yiqu's letter were indeed true.After confirming the authenticity of the matter, Cao Cao immediately began to deploy troops.

Cao Cao fell into Yuan Shao's strategy at this time, but he still doesn't know.Although it is said that Cao Cao has a counselor Guo Jia, but Guo Jia is a counselor, and he is not a fortune teller, so it is impossible to know everything.

The counselor has a good brain, and he can see what is illogical in everything, or what is sensible and common sense.

However, if everything is in line with logic and common sense, it is impossible for a counselor to predict the enemy and take the lead in everything.

Yuan Shao's plan was very clever, and Han Sui and others were also included as internal support.Cao Cao's trick is really worth it.

Cao Cao stood in front of the map, which had already marked Gao Lan's marching route.After Cao Cao looked at it for a long time, he said to the crowd: "If you want to kill Gao Lan, I think the Hulugukou is the most suitable."

"Look at the entrance of the calabash valley. Once we block the two ends, Gao Lan will become a turtle in a jar. Moreover, the slopes on both sides of the calabash valley are gentle, suitable for cavalry to charge."

"There is a block at both ends, and our cavalry rushes down. I look at Gao Lan, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it for half an hour."

After Cao Cao said this, all the generals nodded again and again, thinking that what Cao Cao said was very reasonable.

In fact, there is another reason why Cao Cao chose the mouth of Hulu Valley as the ambush location.The mouth of the gourd valley is blocked at both ends, so people can't run away, and neither can the horse.

You know, Gao Lanke still brought [-] war horses, and Cao Cao was very greedy for these [-] war horses.

If it was an ambush on flat ground, after Cao Jun charged, I am afraid that after Yuan Jun was dispersed, the horses would also be dispersed.Cao Cao was very greedy for these horses, so he must not let the horses run away.

"King Wei, we are now confronting Yuan Shao. The soldiers want to bypass Yuan Shao and go behind them to ambush Gao Lan. Then it is not easy to have many troops, so we need to use elite soldiers." Cao Ren cupped his hands and said.

"Li Dian, Le Jin listens to the order!" Cao Cao ordered immediately.

"The last general will listen to the order!" Li Dian and Le Jin out responded.

"Order you two to lead 5000 troops each. Li Dian blocks the mouth of the valley, Le Jin blocks the bottom of the valley, and block Gao Lan at the mouth of the calabash valley." Cao Cao ordered.

"No!" Li Dian and Le Jin all agreed.

After arranging to block the front and rear troops, Cao Cao ordered again: "Where is Cao Hong?"

"The last general is here!" Cao Hong responded.

"I ordered you to lead five thousand tiger and leopard riders to ambush on the gourd valley. After Li Dian and Le Jin blocked Gao Lan, you led the tiger and leopard riders to rush down from the hillside. You must completely defeat Gao Lan. Department." Cao Cao issued orders again.

"No!" Cao Hong replied.

Cao Hong's five thousand tiger and leopard riders are Cao Cao's trump card troops.It can be seen from this that Cao Cao is so greedy for the five thousand war horses brought by Gao Lan.

You know, a good horse is hard to find.An army of 30 to [-] like Cao Cao is only a mere [-] to [-] cavalry.Moreover, many of these cavalry horses are old horses that have been in service for many years.

In this world, only Youzhou and Liangzhou can produce good war horses. However, Liangzhou is Ma Teng's territory. Although Ma Teng surrendered to Cao Cao, it is impossible to say that he will give all his war horses to Cao Cao.

Therefore, for Cao Cao, he is very short of horses now, and it is indeed worthwhile to design an ambush Gao Lan for these [-] horses.

It's just that Cao Cao doesn't know, but this is a plan.In the battle at the mouth of Hulu Valley, Cao Cao was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses.

After the task was assigned, Cao Jun began to act after dark.These [-] Cao Jun soldiers bypassed the Yuan Jun camp in front and marched quickly towards the established goal.

However, what Cao Cao didn't know was that their every move could be said to be completely within Yuan Jun's expectations.

Ju Yi, Gao Lan had already led a full [-] army and set up a complete set early on, just waiting for Cao Cao to drill into it.

Chapter 479 Ambush in Gourd Valley

Calabash valley mouth.

On the way to the entrance of the calabash valley, countless Yuan Jun soldiers in khaki armor were advancing towards the entrance of the calabash valley.

About [-] cavalry led the way ahead, and in the middle of the team were grain carts and thousands of horses.Fifteen thousand infantrymen looked around, guarding food and horses.

The large banner of the Chinese Army is fluttering in the wind. On the front of this banner is the character Yuan, and on the back is the character Gao.

Under the large banner of the Chinese Army, a burly middle-aged general was sitting on a horse.

This person is Gao Lan among Yuan Shao's Hebei Four Court Columns.It is naturally extraordinary that Gao Lan can have such a name. It can be said that he is a general who can stand on his own.

At this time, Gao Lan had received Yuan Shao's letter, and he knew that Cao Jun would definitely set up an ambush at the entrance of Calabash Valley tonight.

According to Yuan Shao's plan, as long as Gao Lan can hold off Cao Cao's ambush soldiers and horses at the entrance of Calabash Valley for half an hour.Then Ju Yi and Zhang Yun's soldiers and horses ambushing in the distance can make dumplings for Cao Jun's ambush soldiers, and then a praying mantis catches cicadas and orioles will come behind.

Gao Lan didn't panic, although most of his troops were adapted from Gongsun Zan's men.The combat power is not strong, but after holding on for half an hour, Gao Lan is still sure.

Cao Jun actually set up nearby, so it must be for the horses and food he brought.Since it was for horses and food, it would definitely not be attacked by fire.

As long as it wasn't Huo Gong, let alone Gao Lan's men had two thousand soldiers, even two thousand pigs, it would take several hours for Cao Jun to catch them.

Looking ahead, he was about to reach the entrance of Hulugu Valley. Although Gao Lan looked the same as usual at this time, he could be said to have stepped up his guard by 120 points.

at the same time.

Above the Calabash Valley, Cao Hong was leading five thousand tigers and leopards in ambush on the hillside at the entrance of the Calabash Valley.Although the mouth of Calabash Valley is a valley, the slope of the valley is very gentle, and the cavalry can charge from top to bottom, which can exert their greatest strength.

In this terrain, Cao Hong is confident that he can use [-] tiger and leopard cavalry to defeat Gao Lan's [-] elite soldiers.Not to mention the infantry led by Li Dian and Le Jin at the front and rear ends.

Above Taniguchi, Cao Hong could already see Gao Lan's troops from a distance.

"It's close, it's close!"

Cao Hong lay in ambush above the entrance of the calabash valley and watched Gao Lan's soldiers and horses enter the entrance of the calabash valley with his own eyes.The food and horses are in the center of this team. Cao Hong likes these five thousand war horses very much.

The five thousand war horses that Gao Lan brought were all strong and good horses, and these war horses were no worse than the war horses ridden by Cao Hong's tigers and leopards.

"Be careful later, don't hurt my Zhan!" Cao Hong's order was conveyed.

In Cao Hong's view, the [-] war horses brought by Gao Lan were already surnamed Cao.

Cao Hong lay in ambush above the entrance of the Gourd Valley, staring at the soldiers and horses in the valley, only waiting for the soldiers and horses to enter the valley completely, and then, Li Dian and Le Jin sealed the entrance of the valley, and he could come Catch a turtle in a urn.

In it, in it.

Deep, deep.

Gao Lan's soldiers and horses had already entered the mouth of the calabash valley, and they were getting deeper and deeper. After a while, the whole team had entered the hinterland of the mouth of the calabash valley.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the darkness, arrows rained down, and Cao Jun's soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front and behind.

Li Dian and Le Jin, the two generals of Cao Jun, blocked Gao Lan in the mouth of Calabash Valley almost at the same time.

"Brothers, kill me!"

Seeing that Li Dian and Le Jin blocked Gao Lan's retreat, Cao Hong waved his hand and led his soldiers to rush down the valley.
