Chapter 364 Intrigue
In the night, ten thousand soldiers and horses marched fast, and a famous scout scattered around to look around. Xia Houyuan and others are also on guard. This battle is about success or failure, and people dare not be careless at all.
"Who is it?"
A fierce shout suddenly came from the darkness, which was extremely harsh in the quiet night, followed by the rapid sound of weapons collision. The nearest Xiahou Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he did not dare to hesitate at all. He quickly rushed to the place of the fight. By the time Xia Houyuan arrived, the fight was over and only the wolves were left everywhere. There are also a few corpses.
"What's going on?" Xia Houyuan asked in a low voice with a gloomy face.
"General, when I was passing by here just now, I found that there was an ambush with Yuan Jun's scouts here. Fortunately, they were not prepared for me to kill them all!"
Hearing the words of the scout, Xia Houyuan approached and looked at the situation on the ground. A total of three bodies were cut to death by random knives. Then I felt that something was wrong.
In just a moment, Xia Houyuan's face changed greatly. How could Yuan Jun's scout have only four people? Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses' scouts were generally two people. How could there be three people here?
If he expected it, there should be four scouts here. In the whole Yuan Shao's army, only the scouts under General Zhang's command are two groups of teams to cooperate with the task. Just now, it happened to be the scouts under Zhang's command. These three people came forward to attract their attention, and the other scout should have brought the news. Go back to Yuan Shao's camp.
That is to say, the whereabouts of their party have been exposed. Thinking that Xia Houyuan's face turned pale for a while, although there are many 10,000 people in his group, compared with hundreds of thousands of people under Yuan Shao's command, it is really small. If Yuan Shao receives the news that the army will send out to search for their tracks, he is likely to surround and annihilate them.
"Miaocai, what's the matter?" At this moment, Cao Cao came over with Xia Hou Dun and others. Before he continued to ask, he saw the bodies on the ground, and their faces changed greatly.
"The incompetence of the last general caused the army to reveal his whereabouts. He deserves to die. Please punish him." With that, Xia Houyuan knelt down with a ashamed face.
"Hmm?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at the three bodies on the ground. There was a little more clear in his eyes. Under such circumstances, he could find the whereabouts of the army, and only the general Zhang Qian under Yuan Shao's command escaped smoothly.
This jaw is one of the best generals under Yuan Shao's command. He is even more able to lead him under Yuan Shao's command. He is more skilled in the way of using troops, and rarely mistakes. He has hit his soldiers and horses under his command several times, and once again he almost hit him hard.
"Master, the scout under Zhang's command can't defend with tacit understanding. It's understandable that Miaocai is not aware of it for a while. This time, even if it were us and a few others, it would be impossible to stop the scout. Please don't blame the lord."
With that, Cao Hong and others also knelt down and pleaded for Xia Houyuan.
"I didn't say I was going to blame the genius. Wait a minute." Cao Cao sighed. Cao Hong is right. In this scout under the command, there are two people in a group of four in the Ming Dynasty. No matter how dark the two are, they keep changing. No one is fully sure to stop this scout.
"Thank you, Lord."
Although Cao Cao did not pursue the mistake this time, everyone was not happy at all at this time. Compared with the whereabouts of being found, these became a little insignificant. The sneak attack on Wuchao can only be done again. If Yuan Shao finds out by Yuan Shao, he will definitely send troops to strengthen the defense against Wuchao. At that time, it will be even more It's difficult.
"Lord, if I wait for you to go back now." Cao Hong thought for a moment.
Shaking his head, Cao Cao Cao didn't say anything. This is the only opportunity. At this time, Wu Chao has not received any news. If Wu Chao is allowed to get the news, it would be impossible to be alert and want to sneak attack. And he was somewhat reluctant to go back at this time.
Go, or don't go. Cao Cao is struggling fiercely for this. If he goes, it is impossible to face a huge crisis. If he doesn't go, he may also miss a huge opportunity.
Suddenly Cao Cao laughed. Yes, he really laughed. Since the uprising, he has struggled on the brink of death several times, and every time life and death are unpredictable, but now he is hesitating about this matter.
If he had just started his army, he would never hesitate. In the face of such a huge opportunity, he would definitely choose to go without hesitation.
Seeing Cao Cao suddenly smile, all of them showed worry. Although they knew that Cao Cao's joy and anger were invisible, everyone was afraid that the news would make Cao Cao angry at this time.
"Let's go." Cao Cao did not hesitate. He immediately turned around and went to the black nest first. Several people behind him were stunned and then quickly followed, and the guard was around Cao Cao.
Ten thousand soldiers and horses set off again, but the speed is many times faster than just now. Since their whereabouts have been discovered, there is no need to worry about Yuan Shao's scouts. As for Wuchao, it seems that he has never sent scouts to inquire about the news.
................................................................................................
Just as Cao Cao led the soldiers and horses to Wuchao, there was already a quarrel in Yuan Shao's camp.
"Lord, now almost all the soldiers and horses under Cao Cao's command are concentrated here. The lord only needs to send a general, and 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xu Du. As long as Xu Du hits Cao's soldiers and horses do not attack and break by themselves, the lord's army will follow the situation and go down to the world. Who else is the opponent of the lord?" In the big account, Ju Shu looked at the slightly tired Yuan Shao and bowed.
"At this time, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses can hardly draw people to guard Xudu. If the master sends people to attack Xudu, on the one hand, it can make Cao Cao's soldiers and horses fall into turmoil, and on the other hand, it can also attract Cao Cao's attention and break through Cao Cao's battalion." Xu You also stood up.
"Huh! This is not good. Xu Du is the foundation of Cao thieves. This is known all over the world. How can Cao thieves not know this? This time, Cao Cao personally led a large army to fight against the main bus. Xu Du will definitely leave heavy troops to defend. Presurely sending generals will only put the army into an unfavorable situation. In addition, if the sneak attack is lost, the Cao thief's sergeant The morale of the pawn being gradually defeated will rise again. At that time, it will be even more difficult to break through Cao Ying. As soon as Xu You finished speaking, Guo Tu stood up and retorted.
"My subordinates also think that it is not suitable to sneak attack Xu Du at this time. Now that the lord's hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered here, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are less than 100,000. Even if the lord does not attack, it is enough to crush the fighting spirit of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. It is easy to break through the Cao camp. There is no need to take such a risk."
The judge stood up with a sneer and said. Although he knew that what Ju Shu said was right, if he really succeeded in sneaking on Xu Du and defeating Cao Cao, then Ju Shu's credit can be enough to call Yuan Shao's founding of the country. At that time, they will always be suppressed by Ju Shu.
"Okay, don't quarrel anymore. What's your opinion?" Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Zhang Ya and looked at several people. Speaking of which, he also felt that sneak attack on Xu Du was not a perfect solution. Since Yan Liang and Wen Chou died unexpectedly, there were fewer and fewer fierce generals under his command. If he sneaked up Xu Du, in case something happened, wouldn't there be one less general under his command?
Seeing Yuan Shao's inquiry, Zhang and others looked at each other and sighed helplessly. Everyone was unwilling to participate in the power struggle under Yuan Shao, but at this time, Yuan Shao inquired, and everyone had to express their position.
After meditating for a moment, Zhang Jian first stood up and said, "Lord, the words of the supervisor are on the nail on the head. The master's hundreds of thousands of troops have been against the Cao thief for several months. If you can't defeat the Cao thief as soon as possible, there may be something wrong."
"The last general agrees to the words of the army." Gao Lan then stood up and said.
"The last general agrees to the words of the army." With Gao Lan, Zhang and the two of them expressed their position, and several generals present stood up one after another to support Ju Shu.
Seeing that everyone stood up from this Ju Shu, Guo Tu and others looked extremely gloomy. These people were all one of the best generals under Yuan Shao's command. They stood up to support Ju Shu. Even Yuan Shao had to think about it and peek at Yuan Shao. Sure enough, Yuan Shao's face was also as gloomy at this time.
He has said several times that he does not agree to attack Xu Du. These generals actually stand up to support Ju Shu. Is Ju Shu right in their eyes, and he is wrong?
Ju Shu's prestige in Jizhou is really high, and even he is a little ashamed of himself.
Even if he is wrong, no one is allowed to influence the decisions of these generals on their own and question his decisions.
"Lord, you can't." Just as Yuan Shao was about to speak, General Han Meng stood up: "Lord, sneak attack Xu is not as good as defeating Cao's army head-on, so that it is more convenient to disintegrate Cao's fighting spirit and annex Cao Cao. The lord has hundreds of thousands of troops, and he still wants to sneak up on Xu Du. If he wins, some people will say that the master won or not.
Hearing that someone stood up against him, Yuan Shao's face was a little slow. It seemed that someone in Jizhou still paid attention to his attitude. Sure enough, with Han Meng standing up, several generals then stood up to express their opposition, which calmed Yuan Shao's anger a little. The only thing he was unhappy about was that he came out against Ju Shu. They were all generals in Jizhou who were not famous and not very prestigious. Compared with Zhang Kuang and several people, the weight is not a little bit worse.
"In this case..." Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and was about to open his mouth.
pedal pedal............
Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, a burst of rapid footsteps came in, making everyone in the big tent frown. The big tent gathered the most powerful people in Jizhou. Anyone who stands up can remind the people of Jizhou of a series of things. In this case, who dares to break into the big account.
Only Ju Shu, Zhang Zhe and others looked slightly pale. If they dare to break into the big account at this time, it must have been a big deal, otherwise no one would dare to break the big account at this time.
Everyone looked at the big tent with different thoughts, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. A scout general raised his hands high and walked in quickly.
Seeing that Zhang's face changed, this person was the most trusted general under his command. The commander of the scout he trained was the only one who could use his official seal when he was away. Of course, it is absolutely not a small thing to be able to use official seals.
Zhang Aju is not the only one who knows the identity of this person. Ju Shu and other generals who have a good relationship with Zhang Aju all know the identity of this person, and they also know what is held high in this person's hand.
