Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

In the second year of Jian'an, it was night on October 30th.

In Cao Jun's tent

"Prince Qi, as expected, there have been some movements among Yuan's army, and all the garrison troops north of the Yellow River have been secretly transferred to where the Chinese army is located outside Suanzao City!"

"Young Master, we have found out that most of the 50,000 Yuan Shao army stationed at Chaoge were transferred and rushed to Suanzao Yuan Shao's middle army, leaving only Chunyu Qiong, Han Meng and other 10,000 people to garrison!"

Several royal guards dressed as Yuan Shao's sergeants or common people reported to Cao Ang.

They were part of the three hundred newly acquired royal guards last time. They were sent out by Cao Ang many days ago to inquire about the movements of Yuan Shao's army and the cities in Jizhou, Hebei..

Coupled with the two hundred Jinyi guards lurking under Liu Bei's command, Cao Ang learned about the place where Yuan Shao's army gathered food many days ago! It was just a hundred miles due north of

Yuan Jun's camp in Jujube, on the North Bank of the Yellow River. Song!

Chaoge has Luchang Mountain as a barrier to the west, and is surrounded by the Qishui River, a tributary of the Yellow River, to the north and east. It is the Qishui River that is mentioned in the"Book of Songs" in"The Qishui River is full of water, and the curtains are gradually rolling".

The Chaoge Song is based on To the south is a large plain and wilderness called Makino! It was the place where the Battle of Makino took place when King Wu defeated Zhou.

It can be said that Chaoge is uniquely endowed by nature. Going south by land, the Makino plains are as flat as a flat plain, leading directly to the Yellow River. Going east by water, you can directly enter the Qishui River. Then it merges into the Yellow River from Qishui, and you can reach the South Bank near Jujube in a short time.

Yuan Shaojun placed the land for grain harvesting here. It has both water and land, which can be said to be very appropriate.

""370" Qie Chaoge is about a hundred miles due north of Suanzao, in the hinterland behind the Jizhou Army, and is protected by the frontline alliance. In theory, it is very safe.

But it is only in theory!

Because unless all the food and grass are Eat it into your stomach, otherwise there will be no safe place to store grain in the world!

And Cao Ang’s real purpose is Chaoge! Yuan Shao’s basic base is in Jizhou, Hebei. Crossing the river to come to Jujube means stepping into the territory of Yuzhou , far away from Yecheng in the rear area.

Obviously it is impossible to gather the required food from the counties under the rule to Yecheng and then transfer it from Yecheng in turn.

Therefore, in order to save consumption and ensure supply, Chaoge became The land for garrisoning grain.

Jizhou was close to the cities, and all the rations they raised were sent to Chaoge for the army to withdraw at any time.

In the original history, Yuan Shao's front line went deeper into Yuzhou and advanced to Guandu, north of Xudu..

Therefore, the place where grain is stored is Wuchao outside Suizao City, dozens of miles north of Guandu.

However, during this era, Cao Ang caught Yuan Shao off guard in the battle of Guandu. He killed Yan Liang and 20,000 Jizhou troops in formation, and captured Yuan Shao's army. The big banner forced Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops to stabilize his position.

Therefore, the front line of Yuan Shao's army was in the area of ​​Suanzao and Wuchao.

So the place where the front line is located is obviously not suitable as a place to store grain, in case the enemy army is tens of thousands. During the raid, food and fodder were lost.

As a result, Chaoge took the place of Wuchao in history.

To be honest, Yuan Shaojunchen's choice was very clever.

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Ang had professional brocade guards who were good at lurking in various disguises, Spying on intelligence, coupled with Liu Bei's lurking Jin Yiwei, who also stayed in Yuan Shao's army in Liyang, if the direction of the military rations is shipped, it may not be possible to accurately know where Yuan Shao's grain storage is.

However, now that Cao Ang has been Knowing that, he can only feel sorry for Yuan Shao! He will imitate the historical example of Lao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao, burn Yuan Shao's army's grain garrison, cut off the lifeline of Yuan Shao's army, and make his morale collapse due to lack of food. It can be defeated in one battle!

As for using Sun Qian cooperated with Liu Bei and spread false news to Yuan Shao, making Yuan Shao's monarch and ministers think that Cao Ang was going to repeat his old tricks. He led his elite cavalry to attack Yuan Shao's middle army at night. This was a key part of the plan to attack Chaoge!

It was to lure the tiger away from the mountain and prompt Yuan Shao concentrated his troops to the Chinese army camp!

Because Yuan Shao's army said that there were 500,000 to 600,000 troops in the middle, but in fact not all of them were on the jujube front line.

There were only about 400,000 on the jujube front line, and the rest had more than 100,000 or 200,000 combat troops and auxiliary troops. The joint camp all the way to the north of the Yellow River can not only prevent Cao Jun from snooping, but also guard the grain road. It can also defend the hinterland of Jizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River to prevent Cao Jun from riding across the river and harassing the rear.

The same goes for Cao Jun. Although Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son, are under the command of There are more than 300,000 troops and horses that can be mobilized, but the frontline army only has about 200,000 troops. There are also about 100,000 troops and horses, which are also scattered on the wings and rear of Cao's camp to prevent Yuan's army from attacking behind and to protect Xu. All go to Yangwu's food road.

Large-scale legion confrontations and decisive battles have always been like this. The scope may cover hundreds of miles, and it is not just hundreds of thousands of troops gathering together to charge.

Therefore, in order to ensure that we can succeed as quickly as possible The attack on Chaoge reduced the resistance along the way and made the operation more thorough; Cao Ang took advantage of his plan and released the false news, forcing Yuan Shao to shrink his troops in order to kill Cao Ang, focusing on ambushing Cao Ang in the middle army.

Little did he know that Cao Ang had no intention of attacking Yuan Shao's army at night, and he didn't even plan to take action at night three days later as agreed.

For example, at this moment, after confirming the news from several Jin Yiwei.

Cao Ang took action.

There are five thousand hussars under his command, 800 of which are black armored heavy cavalry.

After Jia Xu was ordered to eliminate the princes of Xiliang in Guanzhong and most of the Xiliang rebels in Guanzhong, he not only surrendered more than 40,000 of the more elite ones, but also captured more than 8,000 war horses.

After all, those Guanzhong princes were all from Xiliang and had many Xiliang cavalry and war horses under their command.

Therefore, among the more than 8,000 war horses, Jia Xu selected 5,000 who were good at riding and shooting among the more than 40,000 surrendered troops to form 5,000 light cavalry, and the remaining 3,000 horses were used as backup horses..

In addition to Cao Ang's five thousand hussars, that means there are a total of 10,000 cavalry in Cao's army!

Not inferior to Yuan Shao!

Tonight, Cao Ang will lead his ten thousand cavalry, carrying two days of food and grass, to the northwest in a detour of more than a hundred miles, avoiding the reconnaissance range of Yuan Jun's cavalry and crossing the river.

Then from the southwest of Chaoge, we rushed for more than a hundred miles and went straight to Chaoge!

The whole journey is more than 200 miles, and two days and two nights are enough!

And there is Lao Cao in Cao's army camp, who will follow the original plan to confuse Yuan Shao's army and provide cover for Cao Ang!

The night was dark, and the 10,000 horsemen had already assembled.

The five thousand Hussars were originally equipped with one person and two horses, but the five thousand Liangqi recruited and organized by Jia Xu also had one person and one horse, and there were more than 3,000 horses available for exchange.

Even, in order to support the big brother's attack, Cao Cao went all out and evened out the mounts of the generals, generals and officers, and obtained more than a thousand horses to complete the configuration of one man and two horses.

Cao Cao's Jueying was also taken out and used as a backup horse for Cao Ang.

Although Cao Ang's reputation as a brave and unparalleled horse has been known all over the world, Cao Ang's horse, the Wuzui horse, is also the most famous horse in the world. It is powerful and can travel thousands of miles in a day. In theory, there is no need to prepare a horse.

But Cao Cao still gave his mount, his wealth and life to his great son, which shows the loving father's love for his son!

Even though Cao Ang was a powerful and powerful man, famous all over the world, like an invincible god, as a father, Cao Cao still cared about his elder son every time he went on an expedition.

All parents have the feeling of licking their babies, even this unparalleled villain is the same! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Zixiu, after all, this trip is after going deep into Yuan Jun, so you must be careful.

If things don't work out, retreat immediately and don't be reluctant to fight!

You and my son are now as powerful as Yuan Shao. Even in a head-to-head confrontation, we can defeat Yuan Shao. Don't be impatient.

Don't worry about failure and risk your life!"

On the occasion of leaving, Cao Cao held the reins of the Wuzui horse and looked at Cao Ang on the horse and warned him.

In the cold wind, Cao Cao's short figure, less than six feet tall, appeared to be extremely solid, as invincible as a mountain. Shake.

Cao Cao warned like this because he was worried that Cao Ang was famous all over the world because of his repeated victories in battles. He was burdened by the reputation of a victorious general. Once he encountered disadvantages, he would not be able to accept defeat and would risk his life to achieve his goal......

In this way, even if Yuan Shao's grain harvest was burned, it would be meaningless to Cao Cao!

After all, even without burning Yuan Shao's grain reserves, with Cao's army's current strength, he is confident that he can fight head-on, repel Yuan Shao step by step, and cannibalize Yuan Shao's army.

It just takes a little more time and cost.

But if something happens to Cao Ang, then even if Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao and unifies the north, it will be meaningless without Cao Ang, an outstanding heir, to inherit his legacy.

Cao Ang saw Cao Cao's concern and felt a little moved by Cao Cao's rare display of fatherly affection.

After nodding, Cao Ang said with a confident smile:"Don't worry, father, I will act according to the opportunity!

Whether it succeeds or not, we will return the whole army!"

Cao Ang's words were to comfort Lao Cao, and he did not say too much. In order to prevent Lao Cao from feeling that he is young and energetic, he would be worried[]

But in fact, since Cao Ang took action, he was already sure of victory, not to mention the real information obtained by the Jin Yiwei, a great killer weapon.

Just saying that the historical precedent of the Battle of Wuchao is enough to serve as a reference for Cao Ang.

Although Yuan Shao paid enough attention to military rations, he still didn't pay enough attention to it!

They also underestimated Cao Jun’s intelligence capabilities!

Historically, Cao Jun burned down Yuan Shao's grain garrison because Xu You came to surrender and offered Yuan Shao Jun's secrets.

But in this era, Cao Ang has the Jin Yiwei and Qianli Falcon in his hands, and the whole world can be within his eyes and ears!

What's more, it's just a place to store grain?

"Set off!"

Cao Ang waved the overlord spear in his hand, wrapped himself in a Shu brocade cloak, and took the lead, rushing into the night.

Behind him were thousands of cavalry, with their titles and horses wrapped in hooves, and they also followed Cao Ang and galloped into the night.

At the same time, Cao's army galloped into the night. Eighty miles north of the camp, under the cover of the night, in the camp of Yuan Jun of Jujube, they were digging a horse trap in full swing, laying out horse-repelling guns, horse-tripping ropes, etc.

Even at the bottom of the horse trap, bamboo spears and spears were erected. There are dense traps such as iron clusters.

Once the cavalry falls into it, both men and horses will be turned into hedgehogs!

Even armored heavy cavalry will not be able to climb out even if they do not die after being trapped, and they will be slaughtered!

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Yuan Shao didn't even bother to rest. He stayed up late and watched the soldiers lay traps in person, accompanied by Jizhou Wen 2.3 and Wu.

Looking at the pits and trenches that were ten feet deep, Yuan Shao had a smile on his face:"Then Cao Ang As for the hussars under his command, no matter how good they are at running, if they fall into this pit, how can they survive?"

"What the lord said is absolutely true. The pit is already ten feet deep, higher than a man and a horse combined, and it is densely covered with traps, like nail boards. Once Cao Jun falls into it, he will be killed on the spot like thousands of arrows piercing his heart!"

Wherever you need to flatter your lord, there is Guo Tu, so Guo Tu was the first to speak.

The others also agreed:"My lord, you can put your heart in your stomach. Such a trap will definitely make Cao Ang and Cao's army is all gone and there is no return!"

"I heard that when Cao Ang attacked, he always took the lead and entered the battle formation in person, often taking the lead!

When Cao Ang comes, he will be the first to fall into this pit and seek his own death!

Then the rest of Cao's army will be frightened upon hearing this, and may surrender without a fight, and all of them will submit to their lord!"

"Yes, we will congratulate your lord in advance!"

Everyone's agreement made Yuan Shao's face glow with joy, and he looked confident. He was just waiting for Cao Ang to throw himself into the trap as per the agreed time!

Little did he know that while Yuan Shao was still busy laying out the trap, Cao Ang had already made a roundabout attack, until he Heading towards Chaoge!

Yuan Shaojun and his ministers thought that they were taking advantage of the situation on the fifth floor this time.

Little did they know that Cao Ang’s move was in the atmosphere!.
