The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao couldn't help sighing when he heard this: "I don't think that Yang Feng's subordinates still have such talents, but it's a pity that they can't be used by me."

Cao Cao loves talent after all!

Hearing that someone could be on par with Xia Houyuan, his heart was immediately moved to love talents.

However, given his own state of mind, he would not be too entangled, so he asked Guo Jiadao: "Now that Anchang has been captured, I want to flatten Runan, what can I say?"

But Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Since the Yuan family has already prepared to lead the general to garrison Runan, it may not be easy to attack Geyang again. Besides, the purpose of this battle is to seize the food and grass in Runan to relieve the army. The second is to set up a delay for the land of Yanzhou, so as not to catch Yuan Jun by surprise."

"Now that Liu Pi has been defeated and the capital of Gong has been surrendered, the matter has already been accomplished, and we should accept it as soon as it is good. If there is a conflict because of this, it will be disadvantageous if we fall into a big battle with the Yuan family."

Cao Cao nodded again and again.

He really wasn't ready for an all-out war with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

Especially now that Yuan Shu's son has shown such outstanding commanding ability, even in Cao Cao's eyes, Yuan Shu is no longer the Yuan Gonglu he despised at the beginning.

This son is so powerful, I must be too far behind!

After all these years of stupefaction, I am afraid that I have lost my head occasionally.

Yuan Shu probably didn't even think about dying, but because of Yuan Yao, Cao Cao took a high look.

But now that he agreed with Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao also said bluntly: "In this case, then lead the army back to Yanzhou."

I don't want Guo Jia but I shouldn't.

"Although Ge Yang can't go there, it's a pity to come back after finally avoiding a surprise attack by Yuan Shu's eyes and ears?"

"Hussar general Zhang Ji has just entered Wancheng, and his foothold is not stable. If there is a delay, until he communicates with Yuan Yao, with Yuan Yao's ability, he will definitely help him gain a foothold in Wancheng. When we attack in the future, It's going to be a big problem."

"Now you can take advantage of the situation and go west, go straight to Wancheng, break Zhang Ji, and avoid future troubles!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed to hear that.

He said directly: "Feng Xiao is really quick-witted, Zhang Ji has only been here for a few days, and you have an idea."

But he couldn't help worrying: "But if Yuan Shu finds out, what will happen if he attacks my Yanzhou?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's not easy to launch a large army. Yuan Shu was unprepared. If he came in haste, he could only return in vain. As for Yuan Yao, the journey is even far away in Jingzhou now, and he only knows the news. It’s all about being able to rush to the rescue of Wancheng. We will fight quickly and finish our work in one battle to capture Wancheng so that we can fight the Yuan family in the future!”

"good!"

Cao Cao didn't hesitate at all when he heard such an important decision!

Straightforwardly accepting Guo Jia's words, he immediately turned around and ordered: "Miaocai immediately organize the army, and send troops to Wancheng tomorrow!"

Over there, Cao Cao beheaded Liu Pi without stopping, captured Gongdu, seized food and grass, collected nearly ten thousand Yellow Turban soldiers, and went straight to Wancheng again.

On the other hand, Yuan Yao took Zhou Tai, Sun Yu, Pang Tong and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and finally received a letter from Sun Xiang halfway.

At first glance, my heart tightened.

I wanted to completely take back the real base camp of the old Yuan family, but I didn't want to be given the opportunity by Cao Cao!

I understand in my heart that although Liu Bigong is still a person with a name, relying on the bandits under his account, how can he be Cao Jun's opponent.

I'm afraid that the city will be broken and surrendered, but it can't be counted on.

The only thing I was worried about was whether Xu Huang could resist Cao Cao with the small force he left for him.

And this news, of course, is to find Pang Tong to discuss.

When Pang Tong heard the news, he was calm.

"Cao Cao's attack this time will not dare to raise a large army, so as not to leave Yanzhou empty, it must be just a disturbance."

"If he really wants to attack Geyang, as long as General Xu can hold his ground, and wait for the son's army to arrive, and attack him from the inside out, he will definitely be defeated!"

"However, Cao Cao has been on the battlefield for a long time, and this matter should have been expected. I am afraid that he also took food and grass at this time, and returned to the north."

Hearing Pang Tong's analysis, Yuan Yao felt a little more at ease, but he was also afraid that Cao Cao would use his troops like a god, and not only captured Liu Pi Gongdu, but also Xu Huang, which would really give him a headache.

So he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed to Geyang after running for several days.

Sun Xiang and Xu Huang greeted each other in person, and Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Ge Yang was fine.

However, this was the meeting, and Xu Huang stepped forward to plead guilty, saying: "Young Master, Xu has a heavy trust, and he failed to rescue General Liu Pi, so that General Liu died in battle. He is really ashamed."

Yuan Yao had already sent scouts to Anchang, and he already knew that Anchang had been broken.

However, it was the first time I heard the news of Liu Pi's death in battle, and it really surprised me.

I only thought that these two yellow turban generals surrendered early when they saw Cao's menacing approach, but only after hearing Xu Huang's words did they know that Liu Pi had died in battle in Anchang.

Anyway, this Liu Pi is now considered half of his own, and Yuan Yao's idea is to go back to his father and ask Yuan Shu to give him a title.

This year flashed through my mind, but this meeting supported Xu Huang and said: "The Cao army suddenly attacked, how can you blame Gongming. He was able to discern the situation in this rapid change, and guard Geyang for me. According to Runan, it is really not easy!"

Sun Xiang also agreed, "It's true. If General Gongming didn't kill Xia Houyuan halfway, I'm afraid Geyang would also be in chaos at this time. How could Cao Cao retreat westward?"

For the only person in the old Sun family who did not follow Sun Ce to rebel in the original history, Yuan Yaozi was also amiable, but Sun Xiang's words made Yuan Yao feel a little doubtful.

Immediately asked: "Then Cao Jun went west?"

Hearing Yuan Yao's question, Sun Xiang responded quickly: "Exactly!"

He was afraid that Yuan Yao would not believe him, and added: "General Xu is afraid that Cao Jun will make another surprise attack these few days. The daily scouts are outside, Cao Jun's every move is in front of his eyes, and he will never make mistakes."

Yuan Yao believed in Xu Huang's work.

It's just that since Cao Cao wants to leave, if he doesn't go back to his Yanzhou well, where will he go west?

Are you afraid that I will steal his hometown?

Chapter 275

The thought of stealing the house only flashed in Yuan Yao's mind.

Marching and fighting naturally has to pay attention to grasping the fleeting opportunities, but you can't just take a chance.

Now the old Yuan's family is peaceful, and they are busy with internal development.

Farming, building cities, and training the army, it was a lot of work.

At this time of prosperity, if the army is used, it is necessary to break the plan.

If you can defeat Cao Cao, that's all. If you can't, you will mess up your own rhythm, which is very worthless.

Kuang's attack on Yanzhou must have dragged his old father-in-law. This time, I'm afraid it will be delayed.

And Yuan Yao also wanted to understand what Cao Cao was going to do.

After all, there are no other forces in the west, and Cao Cao's goal is really easy to guess.

I just guessed where Cao Cao was going, and I had to discuss with Pang Tong the way to deal with it.

Professional things have to be done by professionals. It would be quite a waste of such a good mind to not use it.

But Yuan Yao asked: "Shiyuan, if my guess is correct, then Cao Mengde must have planned to plot Wancheng when he went west. I want to lead troops to help, but I am afraid that Zhang Ji will surrender without a fight and be ambushed by Cao Cao instead."

Now, with the passage of time, the world line has become more and more biased, and Yuan Yao's ability to foresight has gradually been restricted.

Let's talk about the battle of Wancheng, now that Zhang Ji is still alive, it's hard to say whether he will surrender to Cao Cao.

Even if he was persuaded by Jia Xu to surrender to Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would not have missed the Zou family before Zhang Ji died, and the battle of Wancheng would be completely different.

Yuan Yao can only make some basic judgments based on his personal understanding, but he lacks confidence in the end.

Pang Tong listened to him and thought about it carefully before saying: "Now that General Hussars has the help of your son, he must surrender without a fight. However, if the battle goes against him, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have the heart to protect himself."

"The young master should not only lead the troops away quickly, but also send a light cavalry to go lightly, so that the general hussars will know that the young master has come to help."

With Pang Tong's words, Yuan Yao has more or less confidence, and without hesitation, he will immediately be promoted to general.

Directly ordered Xu Huang to lead five hundred light cavalry and go straight to Wancheng.

You don't have to do anything, just let Wancheng and Cao Cao know that I, Yuan Yao, are going to lead troops, so that Cao Cao can't feel at ease to attack the city.

Xu Huang immediately took the order and rushed to Wancheng.

On the other hand, Yuan Yao led Zhou Tai and Sun Yu, together with the resourceful Pang Tong who could not be pulled down, led the rest of the army, and headed straight for Wancheng.

Wancheng.

It was Zhang Ji who stood firm and received Yuan Yao's food and grass. At this moment, he had the news that Cao Cao broke Runan and went west to Wancheng.

The enemy is at present, so it is necessary to discuss with the left and right.

In the hall, nephew Zhang Xiu, general Hu Che'er and counselor Jia Xu are all listed.

It's just that Jia Xu is the only one who can come up with an idea.

But Jia Xu said calmly: "Cao Cao must not use his army when he comes here, or he will be attacked by Yuan Shu, and Yanzhou will not be safe."

"This attack, the maximum is no more than 2 horses. Even if you get the Runan Yellow Turban, there are no more than [-] people."

"Furthermore, the Yellow Turban soldiers can't compare to our fine soldiers from Xiliang. The general has an army of ten thousand people in his hands, and he has the food and grass from Jingzhou. Guard the city and fight against Cao Cao, and you will have no worries."

But Zhang Ji said: "What Wen He said is very true, as long as Cao Cao besieged the city day and night and did not attack, he would not be able to resist when the food and grass in my city were exhausted!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he laughed and said, "The general is worrying too much. If Cao Cao dares to spend his time here, I'm afraid that Yuan Gonglu and Lu Fengxian will divide up Yanzhou."

"What's more, Yuan Yao, the son of the Yuan family in Jingzhou, can't just sit idly by. It is estimated that he has brought an army to rescue him."

As soon as Zhang Ji said this, before Zhang Ji opened his mouth, his subordinate Hu Che'er couldn't help it.

He took a step forward and said bluntly: "Whether Cao Cao besieged or attacked the city, regardless of whether Yuan Yao can come to rescue, we can't surrender without a fight, right? Moreover, Cao's army continued to conquer the city without stopping for a while. The Southern Yellow Turban is generally easy to attack!"

"If you despise us so much, you must frustrate them!"

His nephew Zhang Xiu, holding a tiger-headed golden gun, also asked for a fight: "Everyone said that the generals under Cao Cao's account were extremely brave, especially Dian Wei, who was so powerful that he was called the evil of the past. Instead of having a good competition and seeing who it is, it can be called this."

Seeing that all the people under the account wanted to fight, Zhang Ji could be said to be of one mind, and suppressed his hesitation, and shouted: "Cao Cao only bullies my few soldiers, but he doesn't know the power of our Xiliang iron cavalry! Please travel far away!" , I will tell him to come and go! The generals obey the order and follow me to defeat the enemy!"

"promise!"

Everyone under the account responded one after another, and a big battle seemed inevitable.

The Xiliang Army already had a lot of cavalry. According to the past, it is naturally more advantageous to fight in the field.

Zhang Ji led the army out, and the whole army was like a long snake, leading by itself, and finally his nephew Zhang Xiu led the army to the rear.

For Zhang Xiu to lead the army, Zhang Ji is really at ease.

My nephew is not very old, but with a tiger's head golden gun, he can already be called a master.

So when he said in the hall that he wanted to compete with Na Dianwei, no one thought it was a big talk.

It really has this ability!

What's more, with Hu Che'er, the brave champion of the three armies, following him, why do I have to worry?

Seeing that the scouts came to report, Cao Jun was not far away, and he immediately set up his formation.

The "Long Snake" changed from north to south to east to west, placed horizontally on a high slope, waiting for Cao Cao to come here.

It didn't take long to see Cao Cao's army coming.

But I saw a man seven feet long, with thin eyes and long beard, with a sword on his waist, riding a horse and standing with the Chinese army.

There is also a strong man beside him, eight feet long, ten girth in waist, and burly in appearance.

Holding a pair of iron halberds, he guarded him by his side without saying a word.

He saw the man step forward and shouted: "I am Cao Mengde. I heard that General Hussars is trapped here, and there is not much food and grass. I am worried, and I am here to lead the general back to Yanzhou. I will treat the general well!"

Where did Zhang Ji have the leisure to play tricks with Cao Cao, and replied bluntly: "Cao Mengde, don't talk so nicely! If you want to seize Wancheng, first come and meet my iron cavalry from Xiliang!"

After saying that, he led the "snake head" out and attacked Cao Jun's left wing.

Zhang Xiu, who was at the "Snake Tail" over there, saw it, and without hesitation, he also led the troops to attack Cao Jun's right wing.

The soldiers are divided into two groups, just like two dragons swimming out of the water, so it is called the two dragons out of the water formation.

When Cao Cao saw the iron cavalry attacking his two wings, it was too late for the crossbowmen to shoot them, so he only scored points to deal with them.

However, the power of iron cavalry can be matched by An Neng ordinary soldiers?

Cao Cao, who was in the middle army, heard the constant shouts of killing coming from both sides, but also found that his formation was constantly being squeezed under the impact of the iron cavalry.

Xiliang iron cavalry, really powerful!

Seeing a formidable enemy, he couldn't help but look at Guo Jia who was next to him, just wanting to call out his strategy.
