[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

The new wind is getting more and more bitter, howling across the boundless wilderness, blowing up the withered and yellow weeds.The horse's hooves rushed past, startling some wild sparrows looking for food in the grass, flapping their short wings, and hiding in groups towards the dark sky like a deep pool.

Cao Cao's barracks, illuminated brightly by the torches, could be seen faintly. Zhang Wei pulled the horse's reins abruptly and reined in the horse's head.Hearing a long whistle from the horse, he stopped in the same place, followed by Zhang Wei, who was followed by more than 4 soldiers.

"What's the matter?" Gao Lan pulled the rein and rode to Zhang Qiqi's side.

Looking at the flames not far away, Zhang?'s weather-beaten and cold face that seemed to be sharpened by a knife turned serious: "Going forward, you will be within the range of Cao Jun's thunderbolt chariot. Cao Jun will definitely expect us to wait for you." It is impossible to attack the camp without preparation."

"This may not be the case. What Mr. Guo said is actually reasonable. According to ordinary people's thinking, Guandu will be rescued first. Never thought that our army will do the opposite and concentrate its forces to attack the main camp. Cao Jun may not be prepared by surprise." Gao Lan added He said in relief, "Even if you are prepared, it doesn't matter. There are no more than 2 people in Cao's camp, and our army is far outnumbered. Even if you are prepared, you will still be dying with eggs hitting rocks."

"I know the truth, but I'm just suddenly uneasy..." Zhang? shifted his gaze to the back. The cavalry was in front, followed by the infantry. In the dark night, I can't see the end, "It was this feeling that I fought with the lord before the old thief Gongsun, and I avoided the arrow that was shot at my heart."

"Haha, so?y?v you still believe this." Gao Lan laughed when he heard this.But if someone looked closely at his eyes, they would find that the uneasiness in them was no less than that of Zhang Wei. "Let's just let this be an illusion. I have already led the army to go out and come here. There is no way for you and me to retreat."

Zhang? Naturally understood this too.He suppressed the feeling of uneasiness, slammed his whip, and led the army to move on.After a while, Cao Ying was no more than fifty miles away. With the light of the fire, Zhang Wei could even see the situation in Cao Ying clearly.

Outside the gate, two soldiers in iron armor and holding spears stood on both sides. A pair of soldiers were patrolling, totaling less than a hundred people.In addition, there are continuous camps and some stragglers.

"Could it be that Cao Jun really knew that we were going to attack the camp, but he fled without fighting?" Gao Lan guessed based on the information Guo Tu said earlier.

Zhang? He frowned.His uneasiness grew stronger, almost strangling his throat to suffocate him.He turned his head again and looked at the [-] army behind him, still as long as a centipede, with no end in sight in the dark night.Everything seemed to be normal, just waiting for his order to beat the drums to attack the camp, but his intuition kept warning him that there must be something wrong and he had missed it.

and many more!

Zhang? turned around abruptly.After a few seconds, his eyes adjusted to the darkness before he could see clearly. The army that should have been endless at a glance, had disappeared a lot. The darkness after touching about half of the infantry they brought out was not cast by soldiers at night. The shadows of the sky, but really a grassy wilderness in the night.

That's all the baggage!Where did it go? !

Zhang? Cursed in a low voice, but had no time to think about when he fell into Cao Jun's trap.At the same moment when he realized that almost half of the soldiers were gone, a cavalry force of no more than 500 people attacked from nowhere in the dark surrounding fields, and pierced Yuan Jun's heart fiercely like a sharp sword!

Where did nearly half of Yuan Jun go?

Jia Xu rode on a tall Xiliang war horse, let the north wind blow him to the cloth towel, his black hair flew wildly, and the smile on his lips was full of killing blood.

It is not uncommon for a large army to advance and intercept it halfway with cavalry.But there is no moon and no stars tonight, and the darkness and thick fog on the wilderness obscured what should have been a clear line of sight; but Yuan Jun didn't train well and was intercepted by the middle way, so he panicked and even sent a message to the former army. No one was able to find out in a hurry; but today, those who followed Zhang Xiu and him to complete this move were all warriors from Xiliang with one enemy against one hundred. Jun's war horse galloped between the Yuan Jun who had fallen into chaos completely, and the ring head in his hand was extremely sharp, cutting off people's heads like slaughtering cattle and sheep.

so good.

With her head held high, Jia Xu had a panoramic view of what could almost be called a unilateral massacre.The blood sprayed several feet high from the neck, the animal-like wailing before dying, and the laughter of the warriors on horseback and the neighing of the horses all made him feel as if he had returned to the place where Li and Guo were slaughtering. Chang'an.There, here, there is no other choice but to kill and be killed, and he, the only one who is watching the show leisurely.

In order to protect himself, he suppressed his edge and concealed his temperament, as if he didn't care much about everything.But he has always known that he likes this purgatory-like scene on earth, especially when the release of this bestiality will bring him a big victory that will be remembered in history, he is even more excited. It seems that the soul in the body is also trembling.

"Sir!" At this moment, Zhang Xiu rode to Jia Xu's side.The spear in his hand was still stained with blood, and his eyes were still filled with the excitement of a fierce battle, "About half of them died, and the rest were frightened and begged for mercy. Should we continue or take them back as prisoners?" ?”

Following the point of Zhang Xiu's spear, Jia Xu looked over, and saw Yuan Jun kneeling on the ground and surrendering one after another.They seemed to have really lost their fighting spirit, and even forgot that as long as even a few people climbed on top of those delicate instruments, they could change from the dead under the knife to the person holding the knife.The soldiers on the horse must have listened to Zhang Xiu's order, and gradually pulled the reins to stop the horse.The corpses of the dead were lying in the dry grass, and they couldn't see clearly. After the roaring, they could even hear the crows and sparrows. Everything seemed to have calmed down, except that the ring-headed knives in their hands were stained with blood, which showed that Everything that just happened.

Jia Xu smelled the faint smell of blood in the north wind.He smiled, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, spoke loudly, and let the bloody wind pour into his mouth: "General, today, can you make up your mind to fight for the Cao family?"

"What do you mean sir?" Zhang Xiu was taken aback, "Didn't Xiu already fight for the Cao family?"

"That's it, very good!" Jia Xu turned his head and looked at those Yuan Jun soldiers who chose to surrender.The main force in front is still fighting fiercely with the rest of the people led by Zhang Gao Lan. It is very troublesome to take these people back as prisoners.Moreover, he knew that even if these people were taken back as captives, they would not survive tomorrow at most.

But in fact, they still have a way out, before Zhang Xiu definitely told him the answer.

"Xu has already taken a million lives, since I'm here with the general today, what's the point of adding another ten thousand lives?!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu flicked his whip and galloped to the front of the riders.He raised his hand high and made a gesture, so the cheers and roars of killing continued on the field, resounding through the long night.

The roar and wail of killing pierced through the sky, and could not reach the Wuchao thousands of miles away.

People's titles, Ma Lekou, 5000 people wearing Yuan Jun's uniforms approached Wuchao quietly from the small road.At this moment in the Wuchao camp, although there were still soldiers conducting regular patrols, most of them, including the chief general Chun Yuqiong, were still in a deep sleep, and the entire camp was shrouded in silence.

Cao Cao and Wuqian Qingqi were on a high ground, watching Wuchao's every move with the help of the terrain.He has only 5000 men, while Chunyu Qiong has more than [-] men, so he does not have an advantage in frontal attack.If you want to break the camp, you can't be a reckless man to attack by force, you can only use cleverness to outwit.

"3000 people will continue to wait for the opportunity here, and every 500 people will form a team, and set fire around the camp to disturb Chunyu Qiong's army!"

Although this arrangement continues, Cao Cao still has no idea. With 500 people, even if they can rely on horses to be more flexible, once they encounter Chun Yuqiong's army, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg.But just as he took the risk to attack Wuchao, he had no choice and no way out.

"My lord, I found Yuan Jun on the west side path!"

Cao Cao was shocked by the news from Tan Ma, but he concealed his surprise well: "It's He Bing? How many people can you see clearly?"

"My lord, they are all light cavalry. The number is too dark to see clearly, but there are no more than 5000."

"I still think that Yuan Benchu ​​has finally learned to be smart this time." Cao Cao smiled, and let go of his worries. "Don't panic, officers and men. This few people are just a drop in the bucket. Listen, unless Yuan Jun hits the back , otherwise there is no need to report again!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Cao Cao continued to focus on the Wuchao camp below.I don't know what happened in the camp that was shrouded in silence. Chun Yuqiong, who was originally in the tent, came out angrily, and the number of soldiers on patrol increased sharply. After a while, almost all the soldiers in the camp woke up from their sleep.Of course, those soldiers who lived in the burning tents at the four corners of the camp would never have the chance to wake up again.

Cao Cao had a panoramic view of all this.When the fourth fire came to the camp below, Cao Cao drew his sword out of its sheath, held Yitian high, and shouted to the soldiers:

"The time has come, all officers and men, enter the camp with you alone!"

"My lord, my lord!" In Yuan Shao's tent, Ju Shou was about to cry, "Even if my lord changes his mind now and sends people to support Wuchao, he can't just send Qingqi five thousand! Please think again, my lord." !"

"Ju Shou, this is your fault." Guo Tu frowned and accused, "You were the one who said you would support Wuchao, but now the lord sends troops to assist you according to your plan, and you think there are too few people. Now the whole army must concentrate their strength To attack Cao Ying, five thousand light cavalry is quite a lot."

"Mr. Guo, shut up!" The situation was urgent, and Ju Shou was completely rude.He knelt in front of Yuan Shao and said earnestly, "My lord, General Chunyu's temperament is more than aggressive but not clumsy. Even if his army is stronger than Cao's thief, it will be difficult to win. What's more, the most important thing for Wuchao is not to win, but to keep food and grass. Don't fight for it." Cao thief took advantage of it. Five thousand light cavalry could not take up the responsibility of guarding food and grass. For the current plan, I hope that the Lord will continue to send more infantry to Wuchao immediately, and on the other hand, let General Zhang and General Gao hold back Cao Ying's army It makes them unable to support the Cao bandits. In this way, the Cao bandits are determined to be in the master's pocket, the master general has been captured, and whether Cao's camp is captured, how can it be so important?!"

"Hmm..." Yuan Shao nodded.What Ju Shou said is indeed reasonable, but it is only reasonable.As far as Yuan Shao was concerned, he still felt that what he had arranged was correct, but he was seeking another kind of victory, a kind of victory brought about by the war between the two armies on the battlefield.Seeing that Jushou and Guo Tu were arguing again and again, Yuan Shao turned his attention to the third person besides the two: "You Ruo, what do you think?"

"This..." Xun Chen showed hesitation, and after a while he still said cautiously, "My lord, Chen believes that Wuchao's food and grass are certainly important, but if Cao Ying can be defeated in this battle, the food and grass will not be so important anymore. Besides, Cao Cao Now the leader of the camp will be the younger brother of Cao thief. Even if Cao thief is captured by our army, I am afraid that Cao Ying will not surrender because of this, but will just give up Cao thief and make him a waste. Therefore, Chen thinks that he should listen to Mr. Guo , focusing on attacking Cao Ying, in order to get it done once and for all."

"Xun Youruo!" Ju Shou said angrily, "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning! You are clearly a spy sent by Cao Jun! Don't use evil words to confuse the lord!"

Guo Tu choked for a rare moment.This is the first time that he and Jushou agree on something.

Xun Chen showed embarrassment, but still said in a good-tempered and soft voice: "Mr. Ju, Chen is just his own opinion, and the final decision is left to the Lord."

"Okay!" The already troubled mood was made extremely worse by the infighting of his own advisers.Interrupting the quarrel, Yuan Shao made a final decision, "Five thousand is five thousand. Gu has already been dispatched, and there is absolutely no reason to chase them back. Send a letter to the front, telling Zhang? Break through before dawn!"

"Lord"

"Okay, okay." Yuan Shao waved his hand, interrupting Jushou's words with annoyance on his face, "I'm a little tired, so that's it, gentlemen, please go back."

Seeing that everyone else had already left, Ju Shou sighed heavily, and could only leave with everyone bowing and saluting.

Walking to the door of the tent, he looked back at Yuan Shao who was alone in the tent.He is tall and straight, with elegant demeanor. After four generations and three generations, he has his own nobility and demeanor of looking down on the world.But that was the former Yuan Benchu, the Yuan Benchu ​​who was devoted to begging Dong Shi for the Han Dynasty a long time ago.

He really did his best.

However, everything is coming to an end.
