The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 596 The Battle of Guandu ([-])

Yuan Shang was very surprised to hear that Cao Jun had pulled out some of his soldiers from the westward land. Hearing that the opponent's number was not large, only a few thousand people marched in a hurry. Could it be Jia Xu's plan to sneak attack on my camp behind?"

Pang Ji touched the gray beard on his chin, nodded and said: "The situation is urgent, who knows what kind of tricks Cao Zhi and the others are going to play, and if they don't keep it all, they are imitating the Battle of Guandu ten years ago and wanting to sneak attack on our granary. Impossible!"

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then Cao Zhi has made a wrong calculation. He ordered the generals in the camp and the guarding grain village to guard carefully and guard against enemy attacks. In addition, send scouts to keep an eye on them. The actions of that army will be reported at any time!"

"promise!"

The soldiers and horses were none other than Cao Pi's alliance with a group of soldiers and horses who were dissatisfied with Cao Zhi and held a grudge against Yuan Jun, and were willing to follow him to flee. He didn't return, but he didn't even take a look at Yuan Shang's camp and granary.

The scouts brought the news back to Yuan Shang, and it wasn't until this time that Yuan Shang finally understood the true intention of this strange army of troops. It turned out that they were not planning any tricks, but were trying to escape!
According to the report, judging from the number of soldiers and horses or the configuration of generals, it should not be Cao Zhi who escaped by himself. If it was not Cao Zhi himself, who would it be?Moreover, the situation in Guandu is not optimistic for Cao Jun. Although there are not many soldiers and horses who have taken off, isn't it more unfavorable for Cao Zhi, who is inferior in numbers to his own, to disperse manpower at this time?

Pang Ji looked at Yuan Shang who bowed his head silently, his eyes sparkling, and said, "My lord, what's the matter? What do you think?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "If I'm not wrong, there should be some problems within Cao Jun, but I don't know exactly what happened."

Pang Ji heard the words: "What about the soldiers and horses? Will they send people to chase them?"

Yuan Shang turned his head and said: "Send troops now, can they catch up?"

Pang Ji heheed, and said: "There are not many people on the other side, and they are leaving in a hurry. We have elite cavalry, and it is easy to chase and kill them. It depends on your will, my lord."

Yuan Shang thought for a while, then shook his head suddenly, and said: "Don't chase them! Let them go! In addition, order the three armies not to attack Guandu again, and the whole army will withdraw and return to the camp."

Pang Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and went in if he didn't understand.

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "There is a possibility that there is a split within Cao Jun, but I don't know exactly what happened, but this matter may be an opportunity for us, and it may also be an opportunity for Cao Zhi. I'll give him some time to think about it carefully!"

**********************
In today's battle, Yuan Jun mustered all his strength, and the offensive was extremely strong. Cao Jun was dizzy by the north-south assault. Even the supreme commanders like Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren went into battle in person, and they were almost unable to defend.

But at this time, Yuan Jun suddenly retreated under Yuan Shang's command. Not only Yuan Jun's generals were puzzled by this, Cao Jun's generals were also a little confused, not knowing that Yuan Shang was playing tricks.

Just when Cao Jun felt strange, the subordinate generals rushed to report and told Cao Zhi that Cao Pi led a group of relatives and nobles of Cao's Xiahou family and his cronies.Taking advantage of the chaos of war, he went out from the west gate and headed south, but he didn't know where he was going.

Hearing this news, Cao Zhi and the others couldn't help being greatly surprised.

The news of Cao Jun also spread quickly. Cao Pi's sudden departure caused panic among the soldiers in the entire Cao camp.

In Cao Junshuai's tent, Cao Zhi was angry and angry, and his face was pale!

Brothers of the same family, they showed that they were united and fought against Yuan Shang together. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he was transferred to the front of the army. I didn't want this sinister brother to stab him in the back not long after he came, and he ran away. He actually encouraged all relatives to run with him!
What about his family in Xuchang?Where is his mother?Don't you want them all?What on earth is his heart made of!
And at this time, where can he go?Soochow, Jingzhou?Or Xishu?

"Ah~~" Cao Zhi sighed faintly, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

Cao Hong is dead, Yuan Jun has been attacking Guandu for several days, the dead and wounded under his command, now Cao Pi fled suddenly again, although he did not take away many soldiers and horses, but he took away many important generals of the Cao family, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang, etc. People are the pillars of Cao's next class...

So far, Cao Zhi has really reached the point where no one is available.

Just when Cao Zhi was helpless, from Xuchang, the messenger sent him a letter from home. It was none other than his mother, Mrs. Bian!
I am very curious about the current situation, what Mrs. Bian will do when she writes to him.And now if you know that Cao Pi abandoned the family and led the crowd to abscond, I don't know how I will feel.

Now Cao Zhi is really helpless, he slowly opened the letter, and then looked down carefully, halfway through, his eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.

"Crack~!"

After a while, Cao Zhi suddenly closed the letter, raised his head, closed his eyes slowly, his lips were tightly drawn, and his face trembled slightly.

Beside him, Xiahou Dun was surprised when he saw this, and said, "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?"

Cao Zhi was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "It's okay..."

Xiahou Dun lowered his head and said strangely: "This letter..."

Cao Zhi continued to shake his head: "It's nothing. My mother... just said some homely things to me and asked me about my health..."

When Xiahou Dun heard the words, he said "Oh" and said nothing, but Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, with a flash of light in his eyes, and looked at Cao Zhi thoughtfully.

After a while, Cao Zhi waved them all to go out, while he asked his attendants to serve a jug of wine, and then drank by himself to relieve his worries.

"Singing to wine, how much life is..." Cao Zhi sighed while looking up at the tent while drinking.

"It's like the dew in the morning, the days are bitter." Following an old voice, Jia Xu walked tremblingly into Cao Zhi's handsome tent, leaning on a cane.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi was taken aback, then smiled helplessly, and said, "Dr. Jia, didn't I tell you all to go back?"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Zhi steadfastly, and suddenly heaved a long sigh, and said, "Prime Minister, let me drink with you for today's drink."
