The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 594 Battle of Guandu ([-])

In this assault battle, everything that happened seemed very sudden.

Yuan Jun attacked Guandu Tucheng from four sides, and was in a hurry on three sides, but the whole way was stable. After Yuan Jun was waiting for the danger on three sides to retreat, he actually sent back news from the north of Guandu, which made Cao Jun's morale even lower, because of Cao Hong's death.

No one would have imagined that Cao Hong, who was still guarding the north steadily yesterday, was actually killed the next day, and died because of his own eyelids being low. Together with the generals and Cao soldiers he led out of the city, they were all wiped out. .

Cao Jun's core personnel were few and far between. Cao Hong died again, and the talents were even more withered.

Hearing this news, Cao Zhi's grief surged into his heart instantly, because Cao Hong is not only one of the main generals of the Cao army, but also his uncle. Although his temperament is violent, he still has great weight in the Cao family.

The person who was more saddened than Cao Zhi was Cao Hong's elder brother, Cao Ren, the number one general of the Cao clan. Hearing the news of Cao Hong's death, Cao Ren stood there in a daze, without speaking for a long time. After that, I heard him muttering to himself just now: "Who is the one who killed my brother?"

The scout didn't dare to hide anything, and said to Cao Ren with a sad face, "It's Yuan Jun's Gao Lan and Gan Ning."

"Gao Lan...Gan Ning..." Cao Ren clenched his fists tightly and nodded heavily, deeply remembering these two names in his heart.

The Xiahou Clan is still reluctant, but the generals in the Cao Clan who are related to Cao Hong can't bear it now, especially those rising stars of the Cao Clan.

That night, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, two descendants of the Cao family, came to Cao Zhi in plain clothes and white scarves, weeping bitterly, and asked Cao Zhi to send troops to Guandu to avenge Cao Hong.

After Cao Zhi heard what the two said, although he felt sad, he still didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Jia Xu for advice.

Jia Xu casually glanced at Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who were dressed in plain clothes, and looked at Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu with hatred on their faces. They didn't say much, but just said: "Don't fight, or you may follow in the footsteps of Cao Hong."

Now Jia Xu, although not a conspirator, is already the mastermind in the army, Cao Zhi dare not not listen to his words.

However, Cao Zhi respects Jia Xu, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are not used to him. After hearing what the old man said, they became angry immediately. Can know the affection of my family" and so on...

However, fortunately, Cao Ren was able to control the overall situation, so he immediately took the two boys out, criticized them severely, and asked them to apologize to Cao Zhi and Jia Xu.

Cao Ren understood the righteousness and the overall situation. Although he wanted to avenge Cao Hong, he understood that what Jia Xu said was not wrong.

On the other hand, when Gan Ning and Gao Lan returned to the camp, it was already dark.

Today, Yuan Shang commanded the three armies to attack Guandu Tucheng. He was very tired, but when he heard that the second general had returned and brought back Cao Hong's head, he was very happy and forgot his tiredness. And he will be rewarded heavily for his meritorious service.

After receiving the reward, the two immediately went down to rest. Although they didn't speak to each other, Yuan Shang could see a trace of hostility between them through the eyes they looked at each other.

Out of curiosity, Yuan Shang immediately called the lieutenant general who accompanied the army to question him. Only then did he know that the two were arguing over Cao Hong's head, but before anyone could make a move, Cao Hong killed himself with a sword. As a result, the two still couldn't stop arguing, and finally They still came back together with one ear of Cao Hong's head.After a few hands-on attempts on the road, it almost didn't work out.

Yuan Shang laughed out loud when he heard the words, shaking his head with emotion.

In fact, after Yuan Shang heard about this, he was really not angry at all. Instead, he thought it was a good thing. There was some friction and estrangement among his generals, which was a blessing for him. Intimate, good like two brothers, but it will make Yuan Shang worry.

Therefore, Yuan Shang did not intend to mediate between Gan Ning and Gao Lan.

Not long after Cao Hong's head was delivered, Tian Feng and Jushou asked to see him.

The two entered the commander's tent, congratulated Yuan Shang, and then brought the conversation to the point.

Ju Shou first asked Yuan Shangdao: "My lord, Cao Hong died, and the morale of Cao's army is even lower. I wonder if you have any plans for the next step?"

Yuan Shang shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't considered it yet."

Tian Feng straightened his face and said, "My lord, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can he not think about what to do next? My lord can't be so negligent!"

Yuan Shangxin sighed, secretly thought that Tian Feng was annoying, then thought about it, and tried to say: "Cao Hong just died, the morale of Cao's army is low, and Cao Zhi's core generals are not enough now, I can't find a good person to replace Cao Hong Guarding the North City, if we take the opportunity to fight there, we have a great chance to break through the North City! What do you two gentlemen think?"

Tian Feng almost didn't think about it, and said: "That's wrong, don't look at Cao Hong's death, but Cao Jun is currently in a difficult situation, and he will definitely change his defense in Tucheng as quickly as possible. If my prediction is correct, Cao Hong's death will definitely It will affect the internal chain reaction of the Cao Clan generals, especially the number one general of the Cao Clan, Cao Ren, he will definitely take over Cao Hong's position and go to Beicheng to guard, Cao Ren is not comparable to Cao Hong, I am afraid it will not be easy to break through."

Yuan Shang frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Then what should we do now? If we don't attack by force, Cao Jun will stick to it, and it will be difficult to plan for the time being."

Tian Feng smiled coldly and said: "Master, we still have to attack by force, but we must not attack blindly. We must use our own advantages. Our advantage is that we have more soldiers! According to the old man's intention, when we attack next time, we will still The troops are divided into four sides, but they only attack the north and south sides by force, and do not attack the east and west sides. Cao Jun sees that we only attack two sides. Once the situation is critical, he will definitely withdraw the troops from the other two sides for reinforcements. At that time, we will ambush the soldiers on the east and west sides. The horses can take advantage of the gap to attack, if Cao Jun does not withdraw the soldiers from east and west, then we will finish our battle and take down the north and south gates! We will conquer Guandu in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shang touched his chin when he heard the words, and said, "Hit the east and the west and then pretend to be the east? The plan is in the plan... Well, this is a bit interesting."

Tian Feng chuckled and said, "My lord thinks it's feasible?"

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words: "Mr. Tian is very resourceful, your idea is definitely not wrong."

Yuan Shang made a plan to attack Cao Jun, but on the other hand, one of Cao Jun started to play his mind restlessly.

When Cao Hong died, the mourning of the generals of the Cao clan was incomparable. Cao Ren, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, was able to persevere even though his heart was broken. On the contrary, it was Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu who mourned inexplicably.

It is an indisputable fact that the Cao family is in decline. With Zhang Liao defecting to the enemy and Cao Hong being killed, the process of Cao's decline seems to be even faster.

Although Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu belong to the Cao family's backup, they are also leaders, and they can naturally feel that the Cao family's decline is imminent.

At present, Zhongzhou is in troubled times, with powerful enemies approaching, and the danger is at stake. Neither Cao Zhen nor Cao Xiu dare to be careless in the slightest. The murder of Cao Hong sounded the alarm for them even more.Although they want to avenge their uncle, they also know that this is impossible with their current strength, so the current second general feels very depressed.

It was at this time that a person approached them quietly. This person was none other than Cao Pi.
