Chapter 139 Decline
"Quick, quick, line up!" Wen Chou shouted hoarsely.

Due to well-known reasons, this team has sunk down. Even if the general finally regained his fighting spirit at this moment, the soldiers have already relaxed, making the whole team look loose.

"General Wen, what's the matter?" Yuan Ke got off his horse, strode up to Wen Chou, and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?"

"Wuchao was attacked." Wen Chou said with a pale face, trembling, "All our rations are stored there. Once the rations are burned, we are all finished!"

Yuan Ke was not surprised by Cao Jun's surprise attack on Wuchao, but he was a little surprised.The reason why he was not surprised was because he had seen it in the book and knew that there would be such a day sooner or later; but the reason why he was surprised was because he did not expect that day to come so soon.

The trend of the next development of the matter should be that Yuan Shao divided his troops into two groups, one to rescue Wuchao, and the other to attack Cao Jun's camp, but both were defeated.

In Yuan Ke's heart, he had long believed that Yuan Jun would lose in this battle.Long before the granary was attacked, someone suggested strengthening Wuchao's defenses, but Yuan Shao didn't listen to it; after the granary was attacked, he arranged for the fastest light cavalry to rescue Wuchao, and concentrated the rest of his troops to attack Cao's camp head-on. There is nothing wrong with the strategic deployment.But the two groups of people were defeated, which has the meaning of "God is going to kill me".

"Mr. Tian said, this is my chance, but where is my chance?" Yuan Ke's brain was spinning rapidly, "Should I go to Wuchao, or to Cao Jun's camp in Guandu, or... nothing. Don't do it?"

While thinking, he moved his eyes around, and finally landed on Xu He who was doing nothing beside him.

In the final analysis, Xu He is the subordinate he recruited in Xudu, and he only obeys his own orders. As for other aspects, he doesn't care much.

But it was such a person who almost sent Cao Cao to the west.

Yuan Ke recalled the records about Xu Ta in "Three Kingdoms". Of course, a small person like him would not be eligible to be specially written for a biography. It is already an honor to be able to leave his name in Xu Chu's biography.

The meaning in the article probably means that Xu He wanted to assassinate Cao Cao, but was noticed by Xu Chu, and finally died under Xu Chu's knife.

So, if Xu Chu is dead, does it mean...

With a thought in his mind, Yuan Ke hurriedly pulled Wen Chou aside and asked, "Second Brother, where are you going with your troops?"

Wen Chou said: "Just now I received an order from Duke Yuan, asking me to join the Eldest and Third Young Masters and lead an army to attack Cao Jun's camp together."

"Isn't this obviously going to die?" Yuan Ke's heart sank.He really wanted to persuade Wen Chou to participate in his plan, but disobedience before the battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, will be beheaded as a crime. Even if Wen Chou is willing, he can't be so selfish.

Now that the matter has come to an end, he had no choice but to tell Wen Chou: "Second brother, listen to my advice, this is a dangerous act, and you must not be greedy for credit. Once you encounter a big defeat, as long as you can save the team, it will be considered a meritorious service."

But Wen Chou waved his hands again and again and said, "Third brother, it's not that I don't believe you. But I, Wen Chou, am a man of the sky and the earth. If I'm timid and shrink back, even if I survive the battle, what face do I have to stand in the world?"

Yuan Ke knew in his heart that he might not be willing, so he had already thought up his rhetoric: "Second brother, people live for a lifetime, not for a while. I have a hunch in my heart that most of the future revival of the Yuan family will depend on these soldiers under your command, so Cherish their lives, don't let them die in vain, don't retreat, but be wise and brave!"

"Okay..." Wen Chou still felt that it was inappropriate to do so, but he reluctantly replied, "I assure you, I will not be greedy for merit, but unless the entire army retreats, I will not withdraw first."

His answer made Yuan Ke a little confused for a while, wondering whether he had promised himself or not.

"Won't the third brother go with me?" Yuan Ke was distracted when he heard Wen Chou ask, "Mr. Yuan will also go. If you want to make meritorious service, this is a good opportunity!"

"No, I have other important things to do." Yuan Ke said with a serious expression, "I hope that my second brother can pick out a hundred warriors for me to dispatch."

"Okay!" Wen Chou sighed, and smiled wryly, "Third brother, sometimes...sometimes I really don't understand what you are thinking."

Tucao returned to Tucao, Wen Chou still quickly assembled a team of one hundred elite soldiers and handed it over to Yuan Ke.

"Fourth Young Master, take care!" Wen Chou yelled riding on his horse, "Wen Chou bids farewell!"

After bidding farewell to Wen Chou, Yuan Ke came to the hundred soldiers and shouted: "Brothers, General Wen handed you over to me, which shows that you are all heroes who are not afraid of death! I, Yuan Keming, don't speak dark words. This operation can be said to be close to death. As long as you go, you will be rewarded with ten gold cakes! Brothers who died, I promise to give the money to your mothers to ensure that your family lives richly; This money is used to buy a house, land, and marry a wife! I won’t embarrass you, whoever doesn’t want to go, there’s still time to quit now!”

I don’t know if the soldiers understood his words of mobilization, but when he mentioned ten gold cakes, a hundred soldiers burst into laughter, and no one left the team until Yuan Ke finished speaking. .

"Okay!" Yuan Ke said loudly, "Since no one quits, I will issue an order! From now on, you must follow every word I say. If there is any violation, the military law will not be merciful!"

"Here!" the soldiers said in unison.

"Then, let's first..." Yuan Ke shouted, "Let's read books first!"

Facing the soldiers, he took out the volume of "A New Interpretation of the Analects of Confucius".

A bright box unfolded in front of his eyes, showing the details of the team in front of him:
Team: Hebei Elite Infantry

Morale: 100/100
Combat Power: 95%

"Hey!" Yuan Ke had never seen such a high initial attribute, and couldn't help but get excited, "This means that in a short time, I will be able to cultivate a sneak attack team full of attributes!"

"Everyone read with me, don't stop!" Yuan Ke yelled, "My words are strange and confusing!"

"Zibuyu speaks strange power and chaos! Zibuyu speaks strange power and chaos!" Although the soldiers didn't understand what Yuan Ke wanted to do, they still remembered his lecture just now, so they didn't want to make trouble, and began to recite honestly.

At the same time, the value in the line of "combat power" in the box began to rise slowly:
95... 96... 97... 100%!
