Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

But Yuan Shang also suffered heavy losses, with only [-] soldiers left, most of whom were wounded. "

"Wow!" The civil and military officials in the big tent of the Chinese army suddenly burst into an uproar after hearing this.

"This is good news!"

"I have to say, this Yuan Tan is really a reliable teammate!"

"Yuan Tan lost his hometown for a few prisoners..."

"Okay!" Even Cao Cao couldn't help shouting, "I never thought that Yuan Tan could cause such a big loss to Yuan Shang... It's really beyond my expectation, hahaha!"

"This is all Xin Zuozhi's plan." Guo Jia said with a smile, "If Jia expected it to be true, Qinghe City is now ours..."

"The majestic 'General Wei', but he was being played around by a Simpi..." Xia Houyuan couldn't help grinning when he heard this, and made a joke, "The hearts of you literati are all black..."

"Hahaha!!"

Chapter 313 Come on, the road has been cleared for you!

"Hahaha!!" Xia Houyuan made a small joke, and everyone couldn't help laughing together, and the atmosphere in the Chinese army's big tent suddenly became a lot easier.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, and when everyone quieted down, he said, "In this way, Yuan Shang will have a lot to do along the way."

After Guo Jia calmed down, he cupped his hands again and said to Cao Cao: "Master, Jia thinks that you can send someone to Chen Yuanlong in Dongjun to send troops to cooperate with Zilong to capture Yangping County.

In this way, you can not only transfer Zilong's army without making Yuan Shang suspicious, but also occupy another state and county in Jizhou.

Why not do it when you can do more than one thing? "

"Okay, just follow Fengxiao's words!" Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia's proposal was very good, so he made a decisive decision and ordered: "Come here, pass on our military order to order Zhao Zilong and Xia Houlan to send troops to cooperate with Chen Yuanlong to attack Yangping County!"

"Order Dongjun to order the governor of Dongjun, Chen Yuanlong, to send out all his troops, and to cooperate with Zhao Zilong to occupy Yangping County!"

After the order was issued, Cao Cao looked at Wenwu in the big tent again, and said, "Yuan Shangke has less than [-] soldiers. If he dares to attack our army, our army can hold him back and wait for reinforcements from other routes to support him." .”

"At that time, whether we defeat Yuan Shang all the way, or simply defeat together with the defenders who left the city, the morale of Yuan's army will definitely drop to the bottom... Once the morale of the army is lost, there will be no obstacles for us to attack Yecheng."

"Duke Cao is right!"

......

Jian'an six years, May.

Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Wei County, suddenly received a military order from Cao Cao.

After the messengers conveyed Cao Cao's military orders, they withdrew from the county government.

After Zhao Yun carefully read it two or three times, he slowly put away the military order in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Xia Houlan rarely saw Zhao Yun so puzzled, so he stepped aside and quietly waited for Zhao Yun to think.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Yun finally came to his senses.

Seeing this, Xia Houlan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zilong, what kind of military order came from Mr. Cao? It makes you so puzzled?"

Zhao Yun handed the military order in his hand to Xia Houlan, and said: "Mr. Cao ordered us to send troops to take Yangping County. What I don't understand is that Yangping County is already in our pocket. Why send troops to take it at this critical period?"

"Huh?" Xia Houlan heard the words, read the military order carefully, and said doubtfully: "Yes...if we leave now, wouldn't Yuan Shang be able to return to Yecheng unimpeded? "

Zhao Yun vaguely felt that Cao Cao's arrangement was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but due to limited information, he really couldn't figure out the deep meaning of Cao Cao's move.

Asking Yuan Shang to return to Yecheng, isn't that asking for trouble for himself?

Or, did Cao Cao think of a way to defeat Yuan Shang and take Yecheng?

Can't figure it out...

Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Zhao Yun said to Xia Houlan: "Zi Heng, sir and Guo Jijiu are both by Cao Gong's side...Since the military order is like this, Cao Gong must have a deep meaning in this move."

Xia Houlan grinned and said, "That's right. When it's time to waste your brain, Mr. Zi and Jijiu will do it. We just follow orders."

Zhao Yun said to Xia Houlan again: "Go and gather the soldiers, let them have a full meal first, and then we will take five days of dry food and send troops to Yangping County."

"Received!" Xia Houlan clasped her fists to accept the order, turned around and walked out of the county office.

......

Dongjun, Puyang New City.

One day after Zhao Yun received the military order, Cao Cao's military order also reached Chen Deng.

Unlike Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan who were stunned after receiving the military order, Chen Deng quickly thought of the key point.

"It seems that my lord is planning to deal with Yuan Shang...

It's just a pity that I don't know the specific situation of Yecheng and Yuan Shang's army, otherwise I can more or less deduce the master's strategy. "

Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but secretly sighed:

"Hey, wouldn't it be a waste of my talent to keep guarding this three-acre land in Dongjun..."

After Chen Deng vomited out more than a dozen pots of worms last time, he finally fully recovered after a long period of treatment.

Now his stomach has returned to its normal size, his face is no longer abnormally red, and his body looks a little stronger.

In the past, due to his poor health, Chen Deng couldn't fight with the army, and he couldn't even go too far.

But now that my body is better, my mind is full, and my thoughts are more positive when I am full of energy.

Although Chen Deng felt a little regretful because he couldn't guess Cao Cao's strategy, he still conveyed the order immediately after putting away the military order with an excited expression.

Today, Wei County bordering Yanzhou is mostly under the control of Cao Jun, Pingyuan County is under the control of ally Lu Bu, and only Yangping County is still hanging alone to the north of the Yellow River.

Walking out of the Sheriff's Mansion, Chen Deng felt that the sun was shining brightly today, and he muttered to himself: "Finally, I have my chance again...I, Chen Yuanlong, must be like Lu Huanqi, a civil and military man." Both, a unparalleled national scholar with a long history!"

......

After a bloody battle between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, they retreated to the Guangzong area of ​​Jieqiao.

Although Yuan Shang won the battle with Yuan Tan in the end, the loss of Yuan Shang's army was not small.

"Military Master, where should we go back to Yecheng now..." Yuan Shang asked Guo Tu.

Guo Tu's face was exhausted. As a literati, his body was really overwhelmed by the long horseback riding.

After hearing Yuan Shang's question, Guo Tuqiang lifted his spirits and replied, "My lord, I received news before that Cao Jun's vanguard general Zhao Zilong is currently active in Wei County..."

"Zhao Zilong?!" Yuan Shang suddenly heard Zhao Yun's name, and couldn't help shivering.

Turning his head back to look at the soldiers with low morale and almost all wounded, Yuan Shang said in his heart: "If you meet Zhao Yun's elite cavalry at this time, with my 3 people, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to stop him. ..."

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help asking: "Then can we bypass Wei County?"

Just when Guo Tu was about to answer, a scout flew up to report suddenly, saying: "Report! General! Our scouts encountered refugees fleeing northward from Yangping County. They said that a cavalry force entered from Wei County. Yangping County!"

"There are cavalry from Wei County to Yangping County???" Yuan Shang was very surprised, "How many cavalry does Cao Cao have?"

Guo Tu next to him thought for a while, and immediately said to Yuan Shang happily: "My lord, according to the previous information, I am afraid that Zhao Yun's cavalry invaded Yangping County!"

Yuan Shang's eyes widened, and he became even more puzzled, "Zhao Yun? Why did he attack Yangping County at this time?"

"It takes time for the message to pass... I think that Cao Cao should not know that our army has withdrawn from Qinghe County. He probably thinks that our army is still being restrained by Yuan Tan, so he is impatient to send troops. After occupying Yangping County, mobilize the army to blockade the northwest line of Wei County. This can better prevent our army from returning to Yecheng!"

"He wants to besiege Yecheng, and now he wants to occupy Yangping County, completely blocking the way for our army to return to Yecheng...but how can he spare the extra army?"

"Dong Jun, Chen Deng!" Guo Tu said with a flash of light in his eyes.

Yuan Shang was stunned, "So... so cunning Cao Cao!"

Chapter 314 Three Strong Men

Yuan Shang and Guo Tu thought they had broken Cao Cao's deployment, so they ordered to discard the excess food and grass, take only three days of rations, and go straight ahead with light clothes, intending to reach Yecheng before Cao's army occupied Yangping County and completely sealed off Wei County.

Passing through Guangping County, Yuan Shang got some supplements along the way, and also replaced many weak and wounded.

Afterwards, he led his army straight to Yecheng.Since Zhao Yun's cavalry had already left, Yuan Shang's army marched unimpeded all the way to the north of Weijun.

Five days later, Yuan Shang came ten miles north of Yecheng, preparing to surprise Cao Jun from behind at nightfall.

After nightfall, Yuan Shang ordered his soldiers to eat up the last bit of food he had left, rest for half an hour, and prepare for the next battle.

After everything was ready, Yuan Shang ordered Su You, Zhang Wei, and Li Fu to follow [-] soldiers to sneak towards Cao Jun's camp, which was uncertain in the light of the fire.Yuan Shang himself led the remaining [-] troops to suppress him, and also served as a support.

In ancient times, when besieging a city, it was impossible to surround the city wall with people at night. Usually, camps were set up about two miles away from the city.If you don't want the people in the city to come out, you will usually build various fortifications such as trenches and horse refusals, supplemented by soldiers watching the situation, which is enough for the army to deal with the enemy who wants to leave the city.In ancient times, the ancient Romans did even better. When they attacked the city, they often built a wall outside the enemy's city. Let alone people, even mice couldn't get out...

Cao Jun has been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he has never stopped spying on the outside.

When Yuan Shang's army was still about a mile away from the camp outside the city, a loud shout broke the tranquility of the night.

"who!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Seeing that their side had been exposed, the three leading generals decisively ordered: "Soldiers, charge with me!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"Eh?"

When the army of Su You, Zhang Wei, and Li Fu rushed into the camp, they found that the Cao Jun camp was empty!

"There is an ambush!!!"

"Not good! I've been tricked!" Li Fu was the first to react and shouted.

"Back, get out quickly!" Su You turned the horse's head and then shouted.

......

Just when Yuan Jun wanted to withdraw from Cao Jun's camp in a mess, countless torches suddenly lit up around the camp.

"Hahaha! Yuan Shang, your third grandfather has been waiting for you for many days!" Zhang Fei rode a black horse and held a zhangba snake spear, blocking the retreat of Yuan Shang and others.At the same time, countless archers and crossbowmen in the camp emerged from the corners, shooting at Yuan Jun indiscriminately.

Zhang Wei's mind was still calm, and he immediately shouted to the soldiers around him: "Don't be afraid, the lord is outside, rush out with me!"

After Yuan Shang mentioned the suppression of the first army, he wanted to guard against Cao Jun's ambush.

At this moment, seeing that Cao Jun really had an ambush, he ordered to rush to the camp and rescued Su You and others' army.

Zhang Fei knew that he was invincible, so he got out of the way after coping with it for a while.

"Rush to the west!" After picking up the ambushed soldiers, Yuan Shang commanded the army to turn around and head west.

After walking for several miles, an army suddenly stood in front of them.

I saw the visitor holding the Green Dragon Saber in his right hand, and a three-foot-long beard in his left hand, and a stunning horse under his crotch.

"Guan Yu is here, and the little boy of the Yuan family still kneels and begs for surrender?"

After discussing with Cao Cao and others, they agreed that the north was the direction most likely to be attacked by Yuan Shang, so they placed the three most capable soldiers in the current army on the north of Yecheng.

"There are also enemy troops here, retreat, retreat quickly!"

Yuan Shang was obviously in a panic and didn't dare to attack Guan Yu's position at all.

Turning around again, Yuan Shang tried to go back to the north gate of Yecheng towards the east.

When they ran another three to five miles, unexpectedly another person rode a Dawan horse and led a group of soldiers to rush out and stop them in the middle of the road, "Yuan Shang! Huang has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Guan Yu! Zhang Fei! Huang Zhong!"

Yuan Shang secretly groaned in his heart, dodged one Zhao Zilong, but couldn't dodge the other three fierce generals under Lu Yan's command!

Just when Yuan Shang was at a loss, Li Fu came to Yuan Shang's side and suggested: "My lord, don't panic, the enemy's scattered numbers are definitely not many. Our top priority is to find a direction and charge out with all our strength!"

Yuan Shang had run out of ideas, he could only ask instinctively: "Where should we charge?"

"Go south!" Li Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Once Supervisor Shen finds out about the battle under the city, he will definitely send troops out to escort him!"

"But..."

"We have an army of [-]. It is impossible for Cao Jun to stop us in a hurry. As long as we join Shen Jian's army before Cao Jun from the rest of the city gates comes to support us, we can successfully break into the city!"

"Okay! Just follow what the general said!" Yuan Shang finally made up his mind and led the army to the city gate.

In fact, Cao Jun at the North Gate only had more than 2 soldiers, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were divided into three groups. They alone had an average of only about [-] soldiers.

Before Guan Yu and Huang Zhong had time to support, Zhang Fei could only face Yuan Shang's [-] army alone!

"Come on! Let's have a good fight!!!" Seeing that the enemy army was finally rushing towards his defense line, Zhang Fei's voice sounded like thunder on dry land in the dark night.

"Kill!" Although Yuan Jun was startled by Zhang Fei's voice, he still charged at Zhang Fei and the army behind him!
