Chapter 47 Cao Yuan's soldiers crossed the South Pass and jointly passed the five levels 4
Yuan Shao was very happy to see that Liu Bei was willing to lead the army with Wen Chou. The last time, Yan Liang was defeated because he led the army alone. This time, Wen Chou was eager to revenge, and Yuan Shao was not worried. At this time, when he saw that Liu Bei was willing to go with him, he agreed. If Guan Yu is really with Cao Cao, he can let Liu Bei make a mark.
Wen Chou is reluctant to let Liu Bei go with him. He is also a famous general in Hebei and is used to leading the army alone. How can he be willing to divide the military power to Liu Bei? So he said to Yuan Shao, "Uncle Liu has been repeatedly defeated by Cao Cao, and I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the army. If your majesty wants him to go, I will divide 30,000 horses for him as the rear, and he can't go with the army.
Of course, Yuan Shao's troops were mainly based on Wen Chou, supplemented by Liu Bei, and did not refute Wen Chou's face. So Wen Chou led 70,000 soldiers first, and Liu Bei led 30,000 troops and then came to Guandu.
And Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and made his first contribution. Cao Cao showed the court and made Guan Yu the Marquis of Han Shouting to close Guan Yu's heart. Nan Ye's official was the best, so Cao Cao did not become an official, but divided the captured carpals of 20% as a thank you, which can be said to be very happy.
As soon as Nan Ye handed over the goods to the bodyguard bureau, someone came to report that Yuan Shao and sent General Wen Chou to cross the river from Yanjin. So Cao Cao rose up again to fight against Wen Chou.
Before sending troops, Cao Cao ordered the rear army to be the front army, the front army as the rear army, food and fodder first, and the soldiers behind. Nan Ye didn't know what he meant, so he asked Guo Jia. Guo Jia laughed and said, "This is Cao Mengde's plan to lure the enemy. This battle is bound to be defeated.
Cao Cao escorted the grain army halfway and met Wen Chou. As soon as Wen Chou saw that the grain transporters and horses waved their troops, he robbed them. Cao Cao's men and horses were defeated, and they all abandoned grain and grass and ran away.
Wen Chou divided half of his troops to seize grain and grass, and personally led half of them to chase the defeated army. When Xun You saw that Wen Chou came to divide the troops, he said to Cao Cao, "Wen Chou divided the troops. The master's plan has been completed, and he can lead the troops to attack it."
Cao Cao said, "You can abandon the flag of the horse. We will retreat for the time being."
The generals didn't understand the meaning of the words and could only follow the order. Only Xun You and Cao looked at each other and smiled. Nan Ye and his party did not have to abandon the horse, but just watched Cao Cao's tricks. Guo Jia explained, "Cao Mengdeguo can use troops. Although Wen Chou is divided, the troops are not chaotic, and it is not a good opportunity to enter the army. Cao Mengde seduces again and again, and his soldiers will be chaotic.
Nan Ye also knew that Cao was worried and asked Guo Jia, "If I join forces with him in the future, how about Feng Xiao's victory or defeat?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I don't know the winner yet. I only know that the generals under the mage's command are disciplined and rich, and they will not pay attention to this heavy horse, and they will not be hit by this trick to lure the enemy.
Wenchou soldiers just got heavy grain and grass. At this time, when they saw that Cao's horses and flags were abandoned on the ground, they thought that Cao's army was defeated and rushed forward to rob horses one after another. They were no longer on guard. The sergeants did not follow the team and were in chaos. Seeing that the time had come, Cao Cao ordered his men to attack together, and the sergeant Wen Chou was really in chaos.
Nan Ye knew Guan Yu's record of killing Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou, so Yan Liang fought one-on-one last time. Nan Ye knew that Guan Yu would win and did not stop him from playing. However, in the chaotic army at this time, Nan Ye could not deliberately leave Wen Chou to Guan Yu. With a sound, the next ten generals came out and went straight to the battle of Wen Chou.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are first-class fierce generals who can suppress Wen Chou. Yang Xiong, a young general of Qu A, has also stepped into the super first-class ranks under the command of Nan Ye, which is comparable to Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Zhou Cang, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Zhang He are all first-class fierce generals. One-handedness may not be as good as Wen Chou, but there is absolutely no problem for group beating Wen Chou. As for Gao Shun, Zhang Baiqi and Ma Yunqi's main task is not to fight one-on-one, but to lead their own guards and camps to beat the fallen dogs and kill Wen Chou soldiers.
Wen Chou was meeting the generals under Nan Ye's command in the chaotic army. Although there was no long red-faced, Wen Chou knew Dian Wei and others and couldn't help but be timid and walked around the river. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were quick, one shot, one halberd and one axe, and directly separated Wen Chou on the horse.
Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were in chaos. At this time, the main general died and had no fighting spirit and fled one after another. Cao Cao waved his army to cover up, took back the grain, grass and horses that had just been lost, and also captured a large number of Wen Chou's heavy arms.
Liu Bei led 30,000 soldiers and horses after Wen Chou and saw the former army defeated halfway. So he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop, and while collecting the defeated army, he was ready to wait. And asked the fugitive soldiers, "Why did the former army return? Where is General Wenchou?"
A fugitive soldier said, "We waited for Cao's thief's plan, and General Wen had died in the chaos."
Liu Bei asked in surprise, "Can you see a red-faced man with a big knife in Cao's army?"
Another fugitive said, "I have never seen that General Wen was killed by the leader of the Guanghua Division!"
Liu Bei still wanted to ask again, but he saw that a man had been killed on the other side of the river, and the military flag said "the saint of the road". Seeing that it was the banner of Nanye, Liu Bei was not surprised and shouted immediately, "Master, stop for the time being!"
Nan Ye's command is full of elite soldiers and strong generals and cavalry. Wenchou's chaotic army is difficult to compete at all. Soon, he was led by Nan Ye and was collided with Liu Bei in front of him. In the face of a neat army of 30,000 people, Nan Ye did not dare to charge rashly, not to mention his old friend Liu Bei.
Nan Ye stopped the soldiers and horses and came forward alone to see Liu Bei and said, "Why did Xuande lead the army here? Did he vote for the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shao?
Liu Bei sighed, "It's a long story, but it's just settled here for the time being. Can the mage see Yun Chang in Cao Ying?
Nan Ye nodded and said, "Yun Chang also temporarily joined Cao Mengde to inquire about Xuande's news. If he knows that you are here, he will come to the same."
Liu Bei said with red eyes, "I know that Yunchang will live up to me. Can the mage send a message for me?
Nan Ye said, "That's natural! I'm afraid that Cao Mengde will not let him go, so I have to wait for the opportunity to tell Yun Chang. In addition, Yuan Shao will be defeated in this battle, and Xuande will be careful under his command.
Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Thank you for telling me directly! Do you dare to ask the mage where Yide is going?
Before Nan Ye could answer, Cao Cao's army had already killed the river. Nan Ye said urgently, "I only know that Wing De is safe, but I don't know where he is. Xuande, go quickly. I'll stop Cao's army.
Liu Bei did not expect that Nanye could help him so much when the two armies were respectively. Suddenly, he thanked him again and again with tears in his eyes. At the same time, he was glad that Guan and Zhang were fine. At this time, Cao Bing was closer, and Liu Bei had to take back.
When Nan Ye saw Liu Bei withdrawing his army, he said to Xiahou Dun, who led the army to catch up with him, "Wen Chou's army has never been in chaos. Yuan let the enemy be underestimated."
Xiahou Dun saw that Nan Ye led the troops from beginning to end and killed Wen Chou. How could he suspect that he deliberately released the enemy general? So there was no doubt that he was there and returned to Cao Cao. Both sides went to their own villages to collect troops.
Cao Cao won another battle in a row, and naturally set up a big banquet to celebrate Nan Ye's achievements and distribute trophies by the way. Yuan Shao was sad on one side, losing two members* in a row and more than 100,000 soldiers.
Guo Tu entered Yuan Shao and said, "The last time General Yan Liang died before the battle, it was suspected that he was killed by Guan Yu, but Liu Bei said no. This time, General Wenchou died again, but Liu Bei was safe and sound, and he was still secretly discussing with Nan Ye before the battle, which showed his intentions.
Yuan Shao said angrily, "How dare the big-eared thief communicate with the enemy! Push it out and cut it!"
Liu Bei heard Yuan Shao want to kill himself and said loudly, "What's wrong with me?"
Yuan Shao said, "Your brother killed my general the day before yesterday, and you have no evidence to investigate. Today, you had a secret discussion with Nan Ye before the battle, and all the soldiers saw it. What else do you have to say?
Liu Bei did not dare to admit that Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, let alone say that Yuan Shao would lose this battle, so he said, "Your Majesty, listen to me. Today's defeat of General Wen is to underestimate the enemy and attack Cao Cao's plan to lure the enemy. What does it have to do with me? When I arrive, the war situation is bound to be powerless. If the illegal division and I refuse to attack each other, today I and the sergeants will have no place to die. Today, it was not that I had a secret discussion with the mage, but to ask about the whereabouts of my second brother Yunchang, who thought the teacher did not know. This must be Cao Cao's plan to kill people with a knife and want to use His Majesty's hand to kill me. Please think about it."
Yuan Shao also knew that Cao Cao was very close to Liu Bei. The two fought many times. I don't think it would be Liu Bei who secretly communicated with Cao Cao. So he said, "So that's it! I almost carried the name of harming the virtuous. Please don't blame Xuande.
Liu Bei said in a relaxed tone, "Thank you for your kindness. If I can know the whereabouts of Yunchang and Yide, I will make them come to assist your majesty to kill Cao Cao in revenge for the two generals, Yan Liang and Wenchou."
Yuan Shao didn't know that Liu Bei wrote a short check. At that time, he was overjoyed and said, "If I get Yunchang, Yide, I will be ten times better than Yanliang and Wen Chou."
Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou died, they did not hurt Yuan Shao, and made Yuan Shao more careful and dared not despise Cao Cao and Nan Ye's allied forces. Convening Wenwu again to discuss the strategy of marching into the army.
Xun said, "Although our army is brave, it is not as brave as Cao's army. Although Cao's army is fine, his food and fodder are not as good as our army. Cao's army has no food, and the advantage is fighting in a hurry. Our army has food, so it is appropriate to guard it slowly. If the sun and the moon can be long, the Cao army will be defeated without fighting.
Yuan Shao disdained: "Just delaying the sun and the moon, why should I send troops to spend food and fodder? Wouldn't it be better to return to defend the city?"
When Fengji saw Yuan Shao, he said without a plan: "You Ruo's words are a big fallacy. In my opinion, our army is stronger than Cao's soldiers, and the previous defeat lies in the loss of the general. If your majesty does not fight with Cao Cao, but fights with a large army, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated.
Yuan Shao was very happy to hear this. He raised more than 300,000 troops in Yangwu and vowed to crush Cao Cao with his military strength. Cao Cao was informed of the movement of Yuan Shao's army, and Cao Cao also gathered to discuss.
Xun You said, "Although Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are not enough to be afraid. All of the elite soldiers in our army are ten, but the benefits are fighting in a hurry. If the food and fodder of the sun and moon are not good, it is difficult to predict the outcome.
Cao Cao was deeply convinced when he heard the words and gathered more than 100,000 troops and horses from all walks of life to set up a position with Yuan Shao. When Nanye saw 450,000 horses arranged on the hills of the plain, he knew that the previous two 10,000-level battles between Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou were just small fights. Nanye estimated that all the soldiers in Jiaozhou are not as many as Cao and Yuan's two families today.
After the three drums of the two armies sounded, Yuan Shao's golden armor, brocade robe and jade belt, immediately in front of the battle. On the left are Guo Tu, Fengji, Xun, Xu You and other counselors, and on the right are Gao Lan, Gao Gan, Jiang Yiqu, Chunyu Qiong and other generals. Flags are everywhere, and swords are like forests.
Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's horse and stood in front of the battle. On the left were Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Li Ru and other advisers, and on the right were Xu Chu, Le Jin, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals. The banner is very strict. Nanye's generals and Guan Yu were used as strange soldiers by Cao Cao's snow.
