Along with the setting sun, there was also the body of Yuan Jun's general Li Feng.Li Feng was shot to death by Cao Ang. Due to inertia, the lifeless body was still riding on the horse, and ran a certain distance before falling into the dust.

In the battle of tens of thousands of people, the general's personal force had little impact on the overall situation, but the general who came to the scene to command was beheaded by the enemy's young general, which shocked Yuan Jun's already depleted morale.

Yuan's army began to be defeated. In the chaos, Yu Jin stabbed the enemy general Chen Ji with a spear and fell off his horse.

Xiahou Dun rushed into the enemy's line and captured the enemy's leader Qiao Rui alive.

The deputy general died in battle, and the main general was captured. Yuan Jun can be said to have suffered a disastrous defeat.Yuan Shu's psychological shadow was magnified again. He refused to listen to the persuasion of his master Yan Xiang and counselor Yang Hong, and he abandoned the city and fled when the total force was still superior.

King Chen is dead, and his heirs are cut off. Cao Cao ordered Chen Guo to be expelled from the country, renamed Chen Jun, and the twelve counties under his jurisdiction remained unchanged.Cao Ang was responsible for appeasing the people and taking over the household registration and treasury of Chen County.

Cao Jun continued to pursue Yuan Shu. After a few days, the generals discovered that Guo Jia hadn't shown up for a long time. The flags of the three generals Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan, and Zhao Ang were flying in the wind, but they were not there, and their direct troops were also gone. No shadow.The military divisions accompanying the army were Xi Yi and Xun You who had just arrived from Peijun.

This means that Cao Cao secretly divided his troops.Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, Xiahouyuan's Qingzhou battalion and other Cao army's most elite units, as well as the military division who counted all the strategies, had other goals.

In fact, before Cao Jun set off again, Xun Yu of Xudu sent an urgent report: Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Xudu while Cao Cao was at war with Yuan Shu, "To welcome the emperor, to issue an imperial edict, to order the domestic, this time The one who counts."

As long as you grab the puppet emperor, you can use the name of the court to order the domestic.Yuan Shao had been jealous for a long time when Cao Cao "served the emperor to beg for disobedience". He had the intention of attacking Xudu, and he began to mobilize troops.

Cao Cao was worried, this Tian Feng always gave Yuan Shao some terrible advice, it was terrible.

Cao Cao convened three military advisers to discuss countermeasures, and asked his eldest son Cao Ang to sit in on the sidelines. Only by listening, watching and learning more can he grow into an excellent heir.

Xun You thought that he should return to Xudu as soon as possible.Gongsun Zan suffered repeated defeats in repeated battles, and was trapped in Yijing, and he had long since lost his vigor.Yuan Shao was indeed able to send troops and horses to surprise Xudu.

Xi Zhicai did not support the withdrawal: "My lord, compared with Yuan Shao's army, our army is already at a disadvantage. If we retreat now, lose the opportunity, and defend passively, Yuan Shu will definitely counterattack. At that time, Yuan Shao will attack Xudu in surprise. Isn’t it in a situation where we are bound to lose? It’s better to give it a go, if you can defeat Yuan Shu first, and then go north to meet Yuan Shao, there may still be a three-point chance of winning.”

Cao Cao couldn't make a decision, so he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also does not support retreating and returning to defense. This is like playing chess. Going first represents the initiative, and the initiative must not be easily given up.

However, his reason sounds a bit ridiculous: "Yuan Shao is suspicious and indecisive in employing people. He will definitely ask a few more counselors for their opinions. Jushou will support Tian Feng, and Guo Tu will strongly oppose it. However, Jushou and Tian Feng can't be argued together. Guo Tu, that's why Yuan Shao will hesitate for a long time. My lord, there is no need to rush to withdraw our troops. By the time Yuan Shao makes a decision, we will have disabled Yuan Shu long ago."

Cao Cao: I always suspect that Guo Tu is actually my man.

Guo Jia's judgment has never been wrong, and Cao Cao is willing to trust him.

In this way, Yuan Shu must be defeated as soon as possible.Cao Ang proposed a very risky strategy: go deep into Yuan Shu's territory and attack Qichun, Yuan Shu's food storage point.

Xun You didn't express his position. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. How can you win a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den?But to support the eldest son to risk himself, in case something goes wrong, he can't bear the consequences.The main reason is that they are responsible for the future of the Xun family and dare not gamble.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, and expressed their support for Cao Ang one after another.

Previously, the strategy they wrote on the bamboo slips to defeat the enemy was consistent with Cao Ang's strategy, and it was worth taking a risk.The reason why I didn't tell Cao Cao is because the time is not ripe yet.If we wait a little longer, until Sun Ce's troops are in place, the risk will be minimized.

Cao Cao decided to take a big gamble, implement Cao Ang's strategy, and divide his troops.Cao Ang is inexperienced, so Cao Cao can rest assured only if he has reliable advisers and generals following him.

Guo Jia recommended himself.

Cao Ang independently selected the army lineup: Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, Xia Houyuan's Qingzhou camp, and Zhao Ang's Guo family trilogy.The common feature of these elite troops is their strong combat effectiveness and fast attack speed.Cao Cao was very satisfied with the vision of the eldest son.

In Chen Jun, Cao Ang encountered a lot of obstacles when he dealt with government affairs for the first time.Most of the officials who surrendered were typical celebrities, the kind of celebrities who left all their official duties to the petty officials, who had nothing to do every day, playing the piano, writing Fu, and drinking some wine while leaning against the red and greenery.

In the official office, the documents and files were incomplete and scattered, and the relevant officials asked about three things, and Cao Ang was laughed angrily.

At this time, a small official came out more and more, and reported Chen Jun's household registration number and other indicators in a loud voice.He hesitated for a moment and said: "This is the number before the Yuan thief invaded. Now, the population is estimated to be halved, and I will check the household registration as soon as possible. In addition, the grain stored in the treasury has also been robbed, and there are only three hundred hu of wheat crumbs left, which is not enough. to save the people."

The little official spoke clearly and orderly, and Cao Ang asked kindly, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"

Little official: "My lord, my surname is Liang, my name is Xi, my style name is Ziyu, and I'm from Chenjun."

The officer next to him interjected: "Liang Xi was originally the head of the county, but he accidentally contradicted Yuan thief and was demoted to be a planner."

Guo Jia: Liang Xi!During the Cao Wei period, Liang Xi, who served as the governor of Bingzhou, was powerful in Xianbei, had no money in his family, and had the highest political achievements!

Cao Ang: "From today onwards, Mr. Liang is still the chief bookkeeper. Before the prefect of Chen County took office, there was Mr. Liang in government affairs. I will first pull out a batch of food for emergency."

Cao Cao worked every step of the way, and confronted Yuan Shu head-on.

On the other hand, under the auspices of Cao Ang, Chen Jun's government affairs are on the right track.Guo Jia's trilogy disguised themselves as refugees and sneaked into Qichun City, Yuan Shu's grain storage point, in batches.

The chess pieces have been laid out.Cao Ang asked the soldiers to put on Yuan Bing's leather armor, and under the cover of Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry and Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, they successfully approached Qichun City.

Zhao Ang, whose temperament resembled a bandit, played a huge role again.There were several Yellow Turban generals under Yuan Shu's command, and Zhao Ang pretended to be one of them, and directly tricked him into opening the city gate.Cao Jun and Yuan Jun's defenders fought fiercely in the street.

Guo's tribe who sneaked into the city in advance set fire to the government office, causing chaos in the city. Yuan Shu's generals Chen Lan and Lei Bo rebelled, plundering the food and grass in the treasury, and fled to Shanshan with the army.

The city of Qichun was destroyed, and due to lack of food, Yuan Shu's power fell apart in just one month, and his army was scattered everywhere.

Only then did Yuan Shao regret not dispatching troops sooner and surprise Xudu.But he didn't reflect on his ingenuity, instead he blamed Yuan Shu for being useless and being defeated so quickly.While scolding Yuan Shu for being a fool, he mobilized his troops.

The problem is that Tian Feng and Jushou, who had previously urged Yuan Shao to send troops, are now taking the lead in dissuading him from sending troops, saying that one moment, another moment, the delay is too long, and the opportunity to fight has been lost.

Hey, these counselors are really too fickle.They say fight for a while, and say they can't fight for a while. No matter what they say, they are justified.

Yuan Shu, who had nowhere to go, planned to go to Yuan Shao. He took the initiative to attribute the emperor title to Yuan Shao, and wrote to Yuan Shao, saying: "You are sitting in the land of four states, with a household registration of more than one million people. In terms of power, no one can match you... I I respectfully present you the Chuanguo Yuxi, I hope you will accept it, and the Yuan family should rule the world."

For Yuan Shu's attachment, Yuan Shao didn't have any expectations, he was only interested in Chuan Guo Yuxi, and sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to meet Yuan Shu.It doesn't matter whether Yuan Shu comes or not, Yuxi must come.

However, there is still Cao Cao's territory between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.Back then, when Yuan Shu wanted to attack Yuan Shao, he had to attack Cao Cao first.Now, he wants to defect to Yuan Shao, but the biggest problem is still: How can he pass Cao Cao's territory and reach Yuan Shao?

Cao Cao returned to Xudu to sit in town, and sent Cao Chun, Guan Yu, Zhu Ling, Qianzhao, and Le to intercept Yuan Shu.He originally wanted to send Liu Bei to fight, but Xun You, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai unanimously dissuaded him, so he had to give up.

Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry were very strong, and Yuan Shu was cornered, and he retreated to Shouchun.In June, Yuan Shu retreated again, leading a group of remnants of the defeated generals to rest in Jiangting.

It was midsummer and the weather was muggy. Yuan Shu suddenly wanted to drink honey water.But he suffered a crushing defeat, ran away and ran away, and couldn't even eat enough. How could there be any honey water?Yuan Shu sighed for a long time, then yelled loudly, and said, "How did Yuan Shu end up in this situation!" After speaking, he vomited blood and died.
