The advantage of the cavalry's fast speed is fully reflected at this moment.
Before the men sent by Jiang Qi could convey the news to the defenders at the ferry, Gan Ning had already led the cavalry to kill them!
Gan Ning was startled when he saw the grain that could not fit in the ferry and had already been stacked outside: "Damn it! There's a lot of grain!"
"Yuan Shao, the dog day, is really rich!"
"Brothers, burn it for me, burn it hard!"
"Set fire! Never leave a grain of grain for Yuan Shao!"
Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu, who had already come to the opposite bank with a large amount of grain, could only watch helplessly as the tens of thousands of shi of grain on the other side were burned.
They wanted to go back to rescue by boat, but the fire had completely engulfed the ferry.There was no way to land at all.
"Fortunately, [-] to [-] shi of grain and grass have been transported across the shore..." Jiao Touch looked at the grain behind him, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Yes..." Zhang Nan responded with a wry smile: "If all the 10,000+ stones, grain and grass are destroyed, I won't have to see the lord anymore..."
Chapter 226 How can I, Yuan Benchu, be inferior to Cao A?
Jian'an three years, the end of August.
Gan Ning's [-] cavalry attacked the Yanjin camp and the ferry at night, destroyed a camp, beheaded more than a thousand people, and burned nearly [-] shi of Yuan Jun's grain and grass!
As soon as the news came back to Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shaodang exploded on the spot!
"Bastard! Damn it! A bunch of idiots!" Yuan Shao roared angrily, and threw all the things around him out of the Chinese army camp, even the saber was thrown out by Yuan Shao.
Standing outside the camp are civil and military officials who are as silent as cicadas,
But Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu and Jiang Qi tied their upper body naked, knelt in front of the camp with their hands bound, and confessed their crimes to Yuan Shao.
10,000+ stones, food and grass, except for those consumed on the road, almost only [-] stones reached Yuan Shao's camp safely, and more than half of them were lost directly. How can we not make Yuan Shao angry.
The supply of food and grass is a continuous process in the battle of large armies. 10,000+ stone grain and grass, and three 10,000+ large soldiers eat horse chews. If you save a little, you can survive for ten days at least.
Although 10,000+ stone grain and grass is not too much for Yuan Shaosan's 10,000+ army, it is still more than ten days' rations after all.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had stockpiled a lot of food in Pingqiu and Wuchao, and the default of ten days in the past few days was actually not a big problem.
But although the food problem is not that big, the impact is extremely bad!
You know, the side division sent by Yuan Shao to rob Cao Cao's grain road was killed by three 5000 soldiers of Cao Jun and returned in a big defeat;
And Cao Jun also went to more than 1 people to rob the camp, but they not only successfully destroyed the ferry and the camp, but also burned [-] shi of their own grain.
It's nothing to compare, the more the comparison, the more it makes Yuan Shao's teeth itch with hatred, and he lost to Cao Cao, which is the real reason for Yuan Shao's fury.
"Damn..." The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said bitterly: "Ah Cao has so many talents to hide from his subordinates! I, Yuan Shao, are not as good as him, why did all the generals go to hide from his subordinates?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's mood suddenly calmed down. He walked out of the big tent, looked at Jiang Qi and the others, and asked, "Jiang Qi, please tell us the process of the attack."
"Here, my lord..." Jiang Qi swallowed hard in his dry throat. It was fine if he didn't swallow it, but he felt a burning pain in his throat when he swallowed it. Finally, he couldn't help coughing violently.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao said in a slow tone, "Come here, untie General Jiang, and give him a bowl of clean water by the way."
Soldiers from left and right came behind Jiang Qi and untied him. Jiang Qi's eyes were red, and he cupped his fists to Yuan Shao enduring the pain in his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your gift!"
"Gu dong gu dong..."
After drinking a large bowl of water in one breath, Jiang Qi began to talk about it.
"The subordinate who arranged to monitor Hanoi County sent back news that a Cao army left Hanoi County in the dark...
That night, the food and grass arrived at the camp smoothly, and the subordinates judged that Cao Jun might come to rob the camp, so the subordinates set up an ambush early..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Since we are already prepared, why can Cao Jun succeed?"
But they didn't ask these doubts, but quietly waited for Jiang Qi to continue talking.
"Sure enough, Cao Jun came to attack the camp in the middle of the night, and some soldiers heard Cao Jun's soldiers calling General Cao. They thought it was Cao Ren from Hanoi County who led the troops."
"After Cao Ren entered the camp, he was ambushed by our army, and my soldiers who were ambushing in the camp lit a fire and surrounded the camp.
However, Cao Ren is worthy of being Cao Cao's younger brother. Not only did he not retreat in panic at the moment of the ambush, but he rushed to the fire, broke through the flames in front of him, and escaped from the other side of the camp. "
"It's a pity..." Xu You couldn't help sighing after hearing the words: "If Cao Ren can be captured and killed, Cao Cao will definitely suffer a huge blow."
Jiang Qi waited for everyone to feel regretful, and then continued: "After Cao Ren rushed out of the camp, he walked all the way east, and the scouts sent by his subordinates have not sent back warnings. So at this time, the few of us relaxed down."
"After about an hour, the subordinate just fell asleep, but unexpectedly, another cavalry appeared outside the camp!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, the anger in his heart had almost subsided.
He asked himself, even if he encountered such a situation, he would inevitably suffer a dull loss.
"Cao Aman has always been treacherous, never retreating after a defeat, and even taking him by surprise...Cao Cao is the person Cao Ren admires the most. He has learned a lot about Cao Cao's character and how to use troops." Xu You again Sighing, the people around him nodded repeatedly.
It's just that it's not the case in fact, Cao Ren didn't know the existence of Gan Ning at all...
Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said, "Come here, untie the other two generals."
After Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch loosened their bound hands, they quickly thanked, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."
Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Who is the commander of the cavalry? I remember that Cao Cao had only a few generals who were good at commanding the cavalry. Who commanded the cavalry to surprise Yanjin?"
After recalling for a while, Jiang Qi said: "My lord, it was too dark to see the appearance of General Cao, but my subordinates saw that General Cao had a long knife."
"Long knife?" That's even more strange, "Cao Jun's cavalry commanders basically use guns, and I haven't seen one with a long knife."
"Could it be another new general?" Yuan Shao murmured to himself, and couldn't hold back his sigh: "Why do all the generals like to vote for that eunuch? Could it be that I, Yuan Shao, are really not as good as Cao A?"
As Yuan Shao's encouragement teacher, Guo Tu naturally stood up and comforted him at this time: "My lord, you have a lot of strong generals! And there are more wise and brave generals than Cao Cao. It's just because your territory is too big and you need to assign There are too many generals, so we don’t see many of them on weekdays.”
Yuan Shao thought about it, but Cao Cao's generals, especially Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others, still made him envious.
......
[Jianan three years, September]
【Wei Yan is really awesome. Not only did he quickly defeat the Runan Yellow Turban, but he also took care of Han Meng, who was sent by Yuan Shao to hijack the Liang Dao, on the way to Guandu...】
[Think about the way Boss Cao looked at Wei Yan during the day, it's just... tsk tsk...]
During the day today, Wei Yan arrived at Guandu with [-] soldiers and the grain transportation team sent by Yingchuan County.
After Wei Yan told everyone what happened to them along the way, Cao Cao, who was extremely optimistic about Wei Yan, laughed so hard that his back molars could be seen.
[Bold and careful, with both wisdom and courage, who doesn't like such a famous general? 】
[However, I didn't expect Chen Dao to be with Wei Yan.
When this little brother grows up, his fame and ability are second only to Zhao Yun's, and he also has the ability to train elite soldiers...
I don't know if Wei Yan got lucky, or Boss Cao stepped on shit...]
[Calculating the time, it's been almost four months... Why hasn't Xu You moved yet? 】
【...】
Chapter 227 Secret?
In the dead of night, the candles flickered.
Sitting alone in front of the bed, Cao Cao picked up the Diary of Heaven and Destiny.
After opening, the first page,
[Wei Yan is really awesome...]
"Mr.'s wording is strange. It's awesome. Why do you have to bring a forceful word?"
Cao Cao shook his head, made a comment, and continued to look down.
[However, I didn't expect Chen Dao to be with Wei Yan.When this little brother grows up, his fame and ability are second only to Zhao Yun's, and he has the ability to train elite soldiers...]
When Cao Cao saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suppressed his voice and exclaimed: "The person who is second only to Zhao Zilong???"
Who is Zhao Yun?He is Lao Cao's current number one general, and he may be the number one general for a long time to come!
When encountering the need to break the formation, Cao Cao often thinks of Zhao Yun first, and then considers other candidates, which shows the weight and status of Zhao Yun in Cao Ying.
Although Zhao Yun's true allegiance is Lu Yan, this does not prevent Cao Cao from loving and trusting Zilong. After all, Lu Yan is his most loyal partner and the person who knows Cao Cao best.
Thinking that he did not neglect Chen Dao and his brothers during the day, Cao Cao immediately danced with joy: "Oh, oh... Cao got another general, what a surprise, it's a blessing!"
Cao Cao twisted his body left and right, searched for a long time, but finally sighed: "It's a pity that there is no wine, this situation should be cleared up first!"
After finally calming down his excitement, Cao Cao continued to read Lu Yan's diary.
[Calculating the time, it's been almost four months... Why hasn't Xu You moved yet? 】
"Huh?" Lao Cao was puzzled when he saw this, and murmured, "Why did Xu Ziyuan get involved all of a sudden?"
Xu You is Cao Cao's childhood friend. When he was young, he played with Cao Cao, studied together, and grew up together. The two know each other well.
But when Xu You grew up, he took refuge in Yuan Shao, who had a more prominent family background.
Cao Cao didn't hold grudges against Xu You's choice, after all, even if it were 99% of the people, they would choose Yuan Shao, "Except for Mr. Lu, hehehe..."
Lao Cao smiled obscenely. After all, whoever wins Lu Yan can win the world. Compared with Lu Yan, Xu You is not too far behind.
Cao Cao picked out the dim candle wick, and continued to look down after the light was bright.
[I remember that in history, Xu You was sued by Guo Tu because he failed to offer advice, and he knew that his future was bleak, so he came to join Boss Cao, right? 】
"Eh?"
"what!!!"
Cao Cao suddenly stood up when he saw this, and when he realized it, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands.
After Cao Cao confirmed that he would not cry out in surprise, he let go of his mouth, picked up the diary with trembling hands, and muttered to himself: "Xu You...would abandon Yuan Shao and take refuge in me?!!"
"Oh my God!"
"Xu You is Yuan Shao's mastermind!!!"
"If Xu You came to vote, wouldn't Yuan Shao be like a naked little lady, and let me, Boss Cao, do whatever he wants?"
Cao Cao was shocked, his little heart was beating with excitement.
He walked back and forth in the tent a dozen times before he managed to calm down his excitement.
"Let's see what Mr. Lu said..." Cao Cao picked up the diary and said with emotion: "After reading it for so many months, I finally got some useful information... Immortal Lu, I love you so much!"
【What kind of plan is Xu You offering? 】
【Oh, by the way... It seems that the scouts sent by Xu You intercepted Xun Yu's letter urging food.
Xu You used this to conclude that Lao Cao was at the end of his strength, so he suggested that Yuan Shao's troops divide into two groups, one to feign an attack at Guandu, and the other to attack Xuchang at starry night...]
Seeing this, Cao Cao began to sweat on his forehead.
He suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had been frantically building a granary in Chenliu County before, and also remembered the potato that suddenly fell like a magic soldier a few years ago...
"It turns out that Mr. Lu has been making preparations for the battle of Guandu, just as he was silently making all kinds of preparations in advance to prevent Lu Bu from attacking Yanzhou..."
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt guilty,
"I actually felt a bit of resentment towards my husband, and I dared to complain that my husband didn't reveal the 'secret' to me again... I, Cao Cao, am simply not a son of man!"
Cao Cao got up, looked for the direction of Lu Yan's army tent, then cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Cao is ashamed of treating you with sincerity... I, Cao Cao, swear that I will give you a hundredfold support for everything you do in the future. I hope you can continue to support me, Cao Mengde, as always!"
After being moved by himself, Cao Cao sat down again.
After taking several deep breaths, he continued to look down,
[It seems that it happened that Xu You was slandered by Guo Tu, which alienated Yuan Shao's trust in him, which caused Yuan Shao to reject Xu You's proposal and threatened Xu You severely. In the end, Xu You was very disappointed in Yuan Shao, so he left Yuan Shao Instead, he turned to Lao Cao. 】
"So it is!" Cao Cao had a guess in his mind, "Guo Tu and Xu You competed for favor, and Xu You was secretly tripped by Guo Tu, which caused Yuan Shao to alienate Xu You."
"With Xu You's high self-esteem and arrogant personality, he must not be willing to let his talent be buried. So it is not impossible for him to turn his back on Yuan Shao and join me, Lao Cao."
"After all, I was a child! We played together, read together, leaned against the board together, and peeked together...cough cough..."
Thinking of the carefree years of childhood, Cao Cao couldn't help showing a smile,
"Xu Ziyuan, Xu Ziyuan, I really look forward to your coming soon!"
【Alas... Xu You didn't bring that news, so I wouldn't dare to act rashly.
After all, that was the easiest chance to defeat Yuan Shao. Although the current history has changed, at least he still has some ideas, doesn't he?I'd better be more cautious... I hope Xu You won't let me down. 】
