The Three Kingdoms: The filial son of the Cao family, please ask the father to ascend the throne

Chapter 22 The Trapped Yuan Shao

At three o'clock, outside Gaotang City.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhang Yan led the army to the city quietly.

Looking at the loosely guarded city, Zhang Yan ordered people to bark a few times imitating a dog under the city.

At this time, Guan Hai's voice came from the top of the city.

"The door is open, come in!"

Zhang Yan pushed hard, and sure enough, the city gate was pushed open with a "creak".

The rest of the Black Mountain Army followed Zhang Yan and rushed into Gaotang City.

Just as they were about to reunite with the "comrades", the city gate was suddenly shut tightly.

There are tens of thousands of torches on the top of the city, illuminating the city brightly.

Zhang Yan took a closer look and saw that her good brother Guan Hai was standing behind Cao Ziyou, fanning him!
At this time, the Ziyou army on the city wall shouted together:

"Will you drop? Will you drop? Will you drop?"

The shouts completely broke Zhang Yan's confidence, and he helplessly dropped the weapon in his hand.

So far, all 80 Montenegrin troops have surrendered!
Early the next morning, Cao Ziyou handed over all the grain and grass that Yuan Shaogang had sent to Zhang Yan.

And in front of everyone, he said earnestly:

"Zhang Yan, you take the Black Mountain Army to Yanzhou and let Yanzhou Mu reorganize the army. The young and middle-aged stay to join the army, and the rest receive land and farm tools and become farmers. I will not send other people to follow along the way. Don't let I'm disappointed."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan patted her chest and assured:
"I, Zhang Yan, am not a villain who doesn't trust me! Mr. Ziyou treats me with sincerity, and I, Zhang Yan, will go through fire and water for Mr. Ziyou, and I will do anything!"

So after dinner, Zhang Yan marched towards Yanzhou with Cao Ziyou's letter and 80 troops.

After solving the Black Mountain Army, the next target is Tao Qian in Xuzhou.

When Cao Ziyou conquered Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao also had the upper hand in the battle with Gongsun Zan. The crisis in the north was lifted, and the main force of Yuan Shao's army began to move south.

Yuan Shao and his confidant counselor rode triumphantly on the horse.

He seemed to see that he had unified the north, from north to south, and took down the entire big man!
While Yuan Shao was thinking about the future, the vanguard in front stopped.

General Wen Chou cupped his hands and led several guards to check.

Yuan Shao didn't care, after all, it was still in Jizhou territory, and on his own territory, he had a lot of confidence!
Soon, Wen Chou came back, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

"My lord, this is Cao Ziyou, the second son of Yanzhou Mu."

After hearing Wen Chou's introduction, Yuan Shao smiled like an old chrysanthemum.

"You are brother Meng Dexian's second son? Nephew Ziyou, I met you when you were young, do you still have any memory?"

Cao Ziyou looked at Yuan Shao, and after a while of silence, his eyes became moist.

"Uncle Yuan, I have found you!"

Seeing Cao Ziyou get off his horse, he wanted Yuan Shao to pounce on him.

Yuan Shao hurriedly got off his horse and hugged Cao Ziyou, he was so surprised that he kept asking:
"What's wrong? Weren't you in Gaotang before? Why did you come here?"

"Whoa, Uncle Yuan! You have to make the decision for me! The damned Black Mountain Army robbed me of my food and horses! I wanted to fight back, but who knew they had an army of 80! 80 Ah, 80, I have never seen so many people in my whole life, oh, Uncle Yuan, my nephew hasn't eaten for three days!"

Looking at Cao Ziyou's ruddy face and healthy body, Yuan Shao never could tell that he looked like someone who hadn't eaten for three days.

But no matter what, Cao Ziyou is also from his nephew's generation, not to mention that he came to help him this time.

This time he was bullied by the Black Mountain Army, so he had to help out no matter what.

So Yuan Shao said angrily:

"Ziyou, tell me where is Zhang Yan? I'll let my general Yan Liangwenchou kill him!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Yuan. I tricked them into going to Yanzhou. My nephew is here this time because he wants to follow Uncle Yuan."

"What? The Black Mountain Army went to Yanzhou?"

Yuan Shao admits that his three sons are unlikely to become masters.

But now compared to Cao Ziyou, a "cheater", his three sons are nothing short of crouching dragons and phoenixes!
Because he couldn't fight, he tricked the enemy to his old father.

Yuan Shao had already thought about it, and Cao Cao's face was filled with bewilderment.

I have to say that in Yuan Shao's opinion, Cao Ziyou's operation can only be described in one word, "absolutely"!
But the more Cao Ziyou behaved like this, the more Yuan Shao dared not bring him by his side.

After thinking of the supplies he had captured from defeating Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao decided to take the supplies to send Cao Ziyou away.

And with Cao Ziyou being so pitiful, he didn't have to worry about any harm he would do to him.

So Yuan Shao was embarrassed and said:
"Nephew Ziyou, you also know that your father wants me to help you more. If you follow me to fight Yuan Shu, you will not be able to win the battle. How about this, I will give you horses and food, and you will do harm, oh No, how about attacking Tao Qian? As long as you can delay Tao Qian, Uncle will count as your merit!"

"But Tao Qian has Danyang soldiers, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him."

Seeing Cao Ziyou's obedient look, Yuan Shao was secretly happy.

"It's okay, your goal is to delay the enemy. How about I give you two thousand horses and half a month's rations for an army of 30?"

"Well, why don't Uncle Yuan lend me Yan Liangwen Chou again?"

"puff!"

Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Good guy, it’s not enough to feed the horses yourself, you still want my people?
Yuan Shao took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face.

"Ziyou, Yan Liangwen Chou is my right-hand man, very important to me. Without them, I can't deal with Yuan Shu. Be good, you will be responsible for delaying Tao Qian, it's fine."

"Then, why don't you give me Zhang He or Gao Lan? Of course, I heard that General Ju Yi is guarding the base camp, so you can lend it to me."

"Go, go, I can lend you Zhang Yun at most, and I can't ask you any more, otherwise I will write to Meng De."

Hearing Yuan Shao's threatening words, Cao Ziyou laughed secretly.

Write a letter to Lao Cao?

It's useless if you complain to Lao Cao face to face!

This Yuan Shao is still too young, he needs to practice more!

But on the bright side, Cao Ziyou still had to pretend to be scared.

He waved his little hands hurriedly, and said anxiously:

"Uncle Yuan don't want it, don't tell my father, he will spank me. I just listen to my uncle!"

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Ziyou, as long as you are obedient, I won't tell Meng De!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and quickly handed Zhang Yun over to Cao Ziyou, allocated some resources, and sent Cao Ziyou away.

After watching Cao Ziyou leave with one step and three turns, Yuan Shao smiled and said to the surrounding subordinates:

"Poor Cao Mengde I hero, his son is so cowardly. What a tiger father and dog son! Hahahaha!"
