early morning.
Chunyu Qiong, who escaped, finally returned to the north bank.
Yuan Shao also came to Liyang on the north bank to personally supervise the army to cross the river, and then cooperated with Liu Bei to kill Cao Cao. However, before he could complete the crossing, he saw Chunyu Qiong escaping back in embarrassment.
Chunyu Qiong told Yuan Shao everything about the other side, and stood aside trembling after speaking.
"That Cao Ah Man!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he became angry.
He dared to sneak attack and steal his own food and grass, and burn so much of his own food and grass. He couldn't swallow this feeling no matter what.
"It's my subordinates who deserve to die!"
Chunyu Qiong said tremblingly.
Yuan Shao did not blame Chunyu Qiong, but he felt that Cao Cao was hateful and shouted angrily: "Send another 10,000 carts of grain. I want to see how much grain Cao A'man can burn me."
After speaking, he stared at Chunyu Qiong and said coldly: "Why don't you go quickly."
"yes!"
Chunyu Qiong felt relieved and hurried down to transport more food.
"Lord."
At this time, Shen Pei said: "My subordinates believe that Cao Cao must still be waiting for our food and grass in Henan. I suggest that this time the food and grass should not cross the river. Let the soldiers each bring enough food and knock down the white horses on the other side first." .”
Yuan Shao's anger calmed down a little and asked: "Take the white horse?"
Feng Ji agreed: "If we capture the White Horse point, we will have no obstacles on the south bank of the Yellow River. The army can cross the river smoothly and transport food safely without worrying about being attacked by Cao Cao."
Yuan Shao heard this, thought it was reasonable, and agreed: "Yan Liang, you lead 20,000 troops, cross the river first, capture the white horse, and extradite our army south."
"yes!"
Yan Liang said confidently: "Please don't worry, my lord, let's see how I can bring Cao Cao's head back!"
After saying this, he also went down, ordered his troops to move, and prepared to attack Baima.
"Lord!"
Tian Feng reminded: "Cao Cao obviously came well prepared. He had already made full preparations to fight us, but we rushed our troops to cross the river in a hurry. I'm afraid we have no advantage. I think your lord should wait for the right time. Don't raise a large army rashly, for fear of disadvantage."
After listening to his words, Feng Ji sneered and said: "My lord is promoting benevolence and righteousness. Tian Yuanhao said these ominous words because he felt that my lord was not Cao Cao's opponent, or he deliberately said such words to disturb the morale of the army and make the soldiers unintentional to fight when we went on an expedition." ?”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he raised his brows and looked at Tian Feng with an unhappy expression.
Thinking back to these days, Tian Feng and Jushou repeatedly stopped themselves from using troops against Cao Cao, saying that they should wait for work and not fight quickly. Recently, they often said that Cao Cao was well prepared and how powerful he was.
Fengji and the others were also behind the scenes, and Yuan Shao was now very unhappy with Tian Feng and Jushou.
"Lord, I have no intention of disturbing the morale of the army, but..."
Tian Feng wanted to explain himself, but before he finished speaking, Guo Tu said: "Tian Yuanhao has always said how powerful Cao Cao is and how well prepared he is. If this isn't to disturb the morale of the army, what else is it?"
Seeing Tian Feng being attacked, Ju Shou couldn't stand it and said in support: "What Yuan Hao said makes sense. Although our army is large, it is not as brave as the enemy. The defeat of General Chunyu can prove that the enemy is strong, but the food and grass are not as good as ours. If Cao's army has no food, it is better to fight urgently. If our army has more food, it is better to slow down and wait for the work. Cao's army will be defeated on foot. This is not to disturb the morale of the army."
Feng Ji sneered and said slowly: "You have prevented my lord from using troops against Cao Cao more than once, and I don't know how many benefits you have received from Cao Cao."
"you……"
Jushou and Tianfeng were furious.
They only thought about Yuan Shao, but they were often accused of taking advantage of Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao's face turned even more ugly, and he said coldly: "That's enough! If you dare to disturb the morale of our army, I will kill you on the day of my victory. Come! Take Tian Feng and Jushu down and imprison them in the army."
"yes!"
Several soldiers came forward and kidnapped Ju and Shou.
They did not resist, but shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Yuan Shao would be defeated by Cao Cao.
——
Cao Cao led his troops and left Guandu. On the way north, he received an urgent letter from Baima Liu Yan. Yan Liang led 20,000 troops and rushed to attack Baima. Chen Zhou was right again.
Chen Zhou was accustomed to their looks and just smiled.
"My lord, Yuan Shao is rushing to attack Baima. As Du Zhi said, he is preparing to seize key points on the south bank of the Yellow River and ensure that Yuan's army crosses the river in large numbers. To save Baima, we cannot attack by force. We can attack in the east and in the west."
Xun You suggested first.
Cao Cao asked: "How to attack the east and attack the west?"
Xun You added, "When Yan Liang attacked Baima, we did not rescue Baima directly, but led troops to Yanjin, pretended to cross the river from Yanjin, and attacked Yuan Shao's rear. Yan Liang must have been shocked when he learned about this, but he also thought it was an opportunity. , instead they will make a sneak attack to Yanjin and attack the rear of our army. As long as Yan Liang dares to divide his troops and come to Yanjin, we can intercept and kill him halfway."
"This is a great plan!"
Cao Cao adopted it directly.
So he ordered people to make arrangements, deployed a large army, and divided it into two groups.
Yu Jin headed to Yanjin with a bluff, making the illusion that a large army was preparing to cross the river from Yanjin and sneak attack the rear of Yuan Shao's army crossing the river. At the same time, he had people release the news so that Yan Liang would know.
Another part of the army followed Cao Cao and set up an ambush between Baima and Yanjin, waiting for Yan Liang to attack Yanjin.
After the plan was finalized, they acted quickly.
Chen Zhou also followed the army and came to the front line.
"Yan Liang."
Chen Zhou was wondering who would kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou next.
Guan Yu is impossible.
Now Guan Yu has long followed Liu Bei and has probably arrived in Runan. He is preparing to take action to rob Runan. He has failed to pass five levels and kill six generals.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou looked at Dian Wei beside him and said, "Lao Dian, when the fight starts, I will give you a task."
When Dianwei heard that his mission was usually to kill, he raised his two halberds and said, "Sir, just give me your orders."
Chen Zhou said: "The four pillars of Hebei are Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He Gao Lan. Now Yan Liang is coming soon. When the fight starts, let's go out and see for a while how powerful Yan Liang is."
Dian Wei said disdainfully: "The four pillars are nothing compared to my two halberds. Don't worry, sir, I will bring Yan Liang's head back to you."
"good!"
Chen Zhou said with relief: "That Yan Liang is almost a dead man."
Dian Wei said confidently: "He must be a dead man, he will die without a doubt."
Without Lu Bu, Dian Wei didn't take anyone else seriously except the unknown knight general.
Whoever comes will die, this is inevitable.
——
the next day.
Yan Liang continued to attack Baima urgently, while Liu Yan led his troops and struggled to support them.
Liu Yan almost cried when he saw that Cao Cao hadn't come to support him yet.
However, when Yan Liang was preparing to launch another strong attack, he received news that Cao Jun had deliberately released it.
"Cao's army wants to cross the river from Yanjin and attack our rear area?"
Yan Liang was shocked when he heard this. He thought that Cao Cao was really despicable. He couldn't defeat Cao Cao and actually stole his property. He thought about it and immediately had an idea.
Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body.
