The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

In this way, should Zhuge Liang have a good relationship with Cai Mao?

However, it was Cao Cao who really had a good relationship with Cai Mao, and the two had an old friendship.

Of course, there are many factors as to why Cai Mao took Liu Cong and directly voted for Cao Cao.

But now, Cai Mao's status in Jingzhou is also remarkable.

In the third year of Chuping (192 A.D.), Liu Biao was granted the title of Zhennan General by the Han court, and Cai Mao was appointed by Liu Biao as the military advisor of Zhennan General.

Therefore, the titles given to Cai Mao in the military today are all military divisions.

"Military division, there are still ten miles ahead, until Pingchun is reached, and the enemy generals are already stationed in the county."

Hearing the report from the scouts, Cai He, the brother of Cai Hao, immediately said excitedly: "Brother led the army all the way here, but they were not able to resist, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. Seeing that Xiling was forced, this Yuan family boy couldn't sit still. Stop. But we have an army of [-] under our command, a mere Pingchun, and it's still easy to capture!"

Cai Mao laughed and said, "A child who doesn't know how to fight, yet makes Kuai Yidu so cautious. It's really ridiculous! Today, let the Yuan family know my name, Cai Mao!"

After saying that, he just pointed out: "Cai Zhong, Cai He!"

"The end is here!"

"Let the two of you lead the troops to Pingchun and open the way for our army!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Cai Zhong, Cai He and the two of them took orders and went straight to Pingchun with nearly ten thousand horses each.

Cai Mao, on the other hand, led the army in the rear sweeping formation, set up camp, and only waited for the two clan brothers to open the way to Xiling for himself.

Chapter 152

"Military Master, Yuan Yao has experienced many battles, large and small, since he went to Jiangdong, and defeated Huang Zu. Not to mention that he has experienced hundreds of battles, but it is not the first time he has been on the battlefield. It's not right!"

Hearing Huo Duzhi's words, Cai Mao frowned.

He just said with a sneer: "Huang Zu is a man who can only lead the army by relying on the power of his clan. In fact, there is no way to lead the army."

"The defeat and death of his soldiers was not due to Yuan Yao's merit, but Huang Zu's crime!"

The meaning in Cai Mao's words was that he looked down on Huang Zu.

It's no wonder that Cai Mao and Huang Zu are all prominent families in Jingzhou, but one is in Nanjun and the other is in Jiangxia.

At its peak, the two prominent families were polite on the surface, but secretly competed with each other to gain power.

Now that Huang Zu is dead, Cai Mao can't be more polite, and only dismisses Huang Zu as worthless.

Seeing that his admonition was useless, Huo Du didn't say anything anymore, he just let out a long sigh in his heart.

"The military division is so aggressive in underestimating the enemy, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe!"

He made a plan in his heart, and when he returned to the military camp, he warned his brothers who followed him not to be negligent.

This battle may not be so easy.

In Pingchun County, Gan Ning and Ling Cao knew that Cai Mao's army had arrived, and they were discussing it.

But I heard Gan Ning say: "Now the number of enemy troops is several times that of ours, and we don't have much food in our army. We can't stick to this county. What's more, the military commander only needs to let us kill Cai Mao's courage. I want to take Qingqi intercepted and killed the enemy camp, and Cai Mao, who killed him directly, was terrified."

But Ling Cao said: "There is not much food, so we really can't stick to the isolated city. However, is it too risky for Xingba to rob the camp?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said: "Then Cai Mao led the vanguard to attack Pingchun, thinking that we would meet the enemy here, but he must have never thought that Qingqi could rob the camp. If you are negligent, you must not be on guard."

"Attack it unprepared, and it will be broken!"

Ling Cao listened with admiration.

Gan Ning is really a tiger general!

He didn't stop him anymore, and asked again: "How many troops does Xingba want to lead away?"

But Gan Ning replied decisively: "The number of people should not be too many, mainly a thousand people is enough!"

For ten miles, it took the cavalry all-out attack for less than half an hour.

Gan Ning led his troops out, but he did not immediately head towards Cai Mao's camp, but made a detour to avoid Cai Mao's vanguard army.

After a little estimation of the time, he figured that Ling Cao might have fought with the enemy, so he rode his horse to the enemy camp.

This Gan Ning also really trusted Ling Cao.

If Ling Cao couldn't hold Pingchun, then Gan Ning would be caught in a net of heaven and earth, and besieged heavily by Cai Mao's army.

It's just that Gan Ning doesn't think about this problem at all, he just concentrates on killing the enemy camp!

Gan Ning, wearing armor and holding a halberd, ascended first himself.

This big camp is not that after the camp is set up, the entire army is entrenched in the camp.

Naturally, you will lead the team to patrol around the camp.

It can be seen that although Gan Ning's soldiers and horses are not many, but more than a thousand cavalry are rushing to attack, which has already made people alert.

Immediately, someone wanted to withdraw the camp alarm, but Gan Ning caught up with him and stabbed him off the horse.

Wherever he went, it was like cutting melons and vegetables. When he approached the camp, dozens of soldiers and two partial generals had been killed.

However, this action also made Cai Mao in the camp react.

Hearing that the enemy was coming, Cai Mao was also taken aback, thinking it was a large army.

This is especially true when you hear that the enemy army is in no man's land.

Immediately, the sharp edge that wanted to avoid temporarily retreated to the rear.

Another general, Huo Du, advised: "Military divisions must not retreat. Yuan Yao's army is not large in number, and they must guard Pingchun. There must be only a small number of troops when they come to rob the stronghold. Chen Bing resists, and he will be able to resist." That. If the army division withdraws, it will cause the army's morale to be chaotic, but the enemy general will find an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Cai Hao just didn't respond, and shouted anxiously: "We are waiting for tens of thousands of troops here. If the bandit general dares to come to rob the stronghold, he must have a lot of soldiers and horses. If he is rushed to this point, who can resist? We can only retreat temporarily. Make another plan!"

After all, he led the Chinese army to retreat slowly regardless of Huo Du's persuasive persuasion.

Sure enough, once the Chinese army withdrew, the morale of the entire camp was fluctuating, and it was impossible to organize a resistance.

But Gan Ning shouted: "I am Gan Xingba, who dares to fight me!"

Seeing that no one could respond, Gan Ning became even more arrogant.

"Where is Cai Mao? Hurry up and die!"

Cai Mao faintly heard the chasing shout, and his heart trembled even more, he didn't even dare to turn his head.

Huo Du saw it clearly, the enemy general clearly only had more than a thousand cavalry, as long as he encircled one place, even if he was unparalleled in the world, he would not be able to kill this camp.

I wanted to remind him, but I saw that Cai Mao had already run away.

Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to take all his soldiers and horses and shouted at Gan Ning: "Huo Du is here, come and fight me!"

This shout helped restore some morale, at least the soldiers who wanted to meet the enemy also had a backbone.

It's just that it also shocked the brothers next to him.

"Brother! The enemy general is brave, and the morale of the army is useless, so I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat him!"

Huo Du said: "If the enemy general is so brave and dare not rebel, why should I be a general? The enemy general is brave, so I should go forward to repay the king's favor!"

As he said that, he mounted his horse with a gun and went to meet him.

Gan Ning saw that he had been killed for a long time, and finally there was an enemy coming to meet him, he secretly rejoiced, and shouted: "Anzhi, there is only one person in Cai Mao's army who dares to resist me!"

After saying that, I dare not underestimate the enemy's carelessness. When I see the enemy coming, I just swing my halberd.

Huo Du rushed to greet him.

Hearing a "bang", Huo Du almost couldn't bear the strength and fell off the horse.

I also understand in my heart why the enemy army can kill so few troops, the leading general is really too powerful.

"jingle!"

When the bell rang, Huo Du remembered who Gan Ning was.

It turned out to be Jinfan thief Gan Xingba!

I thought it was just a water thief, but I didn't want to be so skillful right away!

It is also a pity that these powerful generals are originally under Liu Shijun's account, but now they are serving in the enemy's camp.

On the battlefield, this momentary loss of concentration can be fatal.

In fact, Yuan Yao has always felt that Gan Ning often wears a bell, which is not only for pretense, but more disturbing.

Seeing that Huo Du lost his mind, Gan Ning admired Huo Du's courage, but he couldn't be polite on the battlefield.

Hold the halberd forward in the right hand, and put the left hand on the waist.

Huo Du came to his senses and turned sideways to avoid it, but he heard the sound of chains "cracking".

Then came the chains.

It was Huo Du, who avoided Yiji, how could he react anymore.

"Snapped!"

Huo Du was hit directly in the face, and he was slammed off his horse.

Seeing that Gan Ning succeeded in one blow, his eyes flashed, and he just stabbed down with the halberd!

"No!"

Blood filled the air, and loyal generals fell.

Huo Du's younger brother, who was only seen from a distance, uttered a mournful cry.

He even firmly remembered Gan Ning's appearance.

Chapter 153 The only person you trust

Gan Ning charged and killed for a while, seeing that Cai Mao had already run away and did not want to chase deeply.

After all, I am the only one. If the enemy responds, if I chase too deeply, I will be trapped.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved, and Cai Mao has been killed by himself and lost his courage.

Let alone Xiling, even this Pingchun County, I am afraid that Cai Mao will have a hard time getting by!

At that moment, he rushed out again with all his troops and went straight back to Pingchun.

When it really comes, no one can resist it, and when it goes, no one dares to stop it.

Only the battered camp and corpses were left behind.

It also included Huo Du, who fought bravely against the enemy, but died under Gan Ning's halberd.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Seeing a young man who is not yet weak just holding Huo Du's corpse and crying in front of him, Cai Mao's old face also felt a little helpless.

In particular, there was a stark contrast between his running performance and Huo Du's heroic aura.

But looking at the corpse in front of him, Cai Mao was also glad that his decision was correct.

Otherwise, the one who is lying down now is likely to be me!

After thinking about it for a while, Cai Mao said loudly: "Huo Du's death in the face of the enemy is indeed a meritorious service. His younger brother will inherit all the troops."

As he spoke, he remembered that he still didn't know the name of Huo Du's younger brother, and said again: "Little brother, don't be sad. General Huo's death in battle is the fate of soldiers. If you have the heart, you should be your subordinate and kill him." That's Gan Ning, to avenge my brother."

But seeing the tearful eyes of the young man, hearing Cai Mao's words, he said harshly: "I, Huo Jun, will definitely kill Gan Ning and avenge my brother!"

Huo Jun!

Cai Mao secretly wrote down the boy's name.

He praised the young hero again, but he just ignored it.

Hey, in fact, this body is in troubled times, with so many births and deaths.

As for Li Dian, the reason why he had some old grievances with Zhang Liao at the beginning was more or less because his father Li Gan died in Yanzhou at the hands of Lu Bu.

However, disharmony is disharmony, and it has not reached the point where death is necessary.

What Cai Mao said was just to stir up the youth's hatred towards Gan Ning.

Of course, how could such a youthful young man pose any threat to the general of Yuan Yao's army? Cai Mao's trip was just to disgust Yuan Yao.
