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

"Cao Zixiu! What a great Cao Zixiu!

How could he, Cao Ah Man, be so lucky to have such a God-given son!

I, Yuan Benchu, the Fourth and Third Duke, have all given birth to pigs, dogs and trash!

If I had a son like Cao Zixiu, I'm afraid that with the foundation of the Four Prefectures, the world would have belonged to my Yuan family long ago.……"

At the location of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was silent for a long time after listening to what Zhang He said.

After a while, he finally sighed, and his eyes filled with tears, full of unwillingness, remorse, and regret!

With hegemony in the four states of Hebei, millions of stones, grain and grass, and hundreds of thousands of troops, it was obvious that Yuan Shao once had such an advantage.

However, Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son, was forced into such a situation by fighting every step of the way!

At this moment, Yuan Shao resented heaven and earth, resented himself, resented Cao Cao, resented Cao Ang, resented the incompetence of all the civil and military men under his command, and even resented his sons who were like waste compared to Cao Ang!

Among them, especially the resentment towards Cao Ang, like the waves of the sea, is endless.

Because Yuan Shao believed that if Cao Ang hadn't been born out of nowhere, with his strong strength, he could have easily defeated Gongsun Zan and then easily crushed Cao Cao to death!

But all of this was completely changed by Cao Ang in less than a year!

A year ago, at the beginning of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao only had two states and 70,000 troops. He respectfully recognized Yuan Shao as his eldest brother.

After Yuan Shao was made happy, he dared to lead his troops to leave Xudu and go to conquer Zhang Xiu in Nanyang.

But before the second year of Jian'an passed, Cao Cao became rich because he had Cao Ang, the son of dragon, phoenix and unicorn.

In less than a year, it went from being a land of only two states, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, to a land of nearly five states, including Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Sili Guanzhong!

Everything started because of Cao Ang!

If it weren't for Cao Ang, how could Yuan Shao have fallen into such a situation!

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more negative energy he felt in his heart.

This also caused Cao Ang, who was on the way, to see negative energy constantly refreshing in the system panel, and the smile on his lips never stopped for a moment.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was there.

Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xin Ping and others sighed when they saw Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and filled with resentment and despair.

In this era, the king and his ministers had to die. Even though Yuan Shao was mean to Zhang He and Gao Lan, the second general was just cold-hearted at this time and had no intention of betrayal.

At least, if Yuan Shao gathers together at this time, he still has more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, who can fight against Cao's army!

Moreover, the foundation of the four states in Hebei has not been lost. In Qingzhou, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses of the eldest son Yuan Tan, confronting Cao Jun Zang Ba's troops.

As long as they regroup, they will still be strong and not inferior to Cao's army.

The only thing missing is some elite soldiers like Cao Ang's elite cavalry.

So Zhang He took a deep breath and said:"My lord, this is not the time to be depressed. The main force of our army is still there, and the number of troops is still slightly greater than that of Cao's army. It is the time to stabilize the army's morale and regroup!

Ju Sue, Tian Feng, and Xu You, All of them are loyal and wise men. Please let the lord release them and serve as counselors to the military planes to devise strategies to defeat Cao Cao!"

Zhang He's words were indeed words of loyalty.

Now looking at Yuan Shao's tent, Guo Tu Shenpei and others are talented but not moral, and are too selfish. Only Ju Sue and Tian Feng are loyal and resourceful. Although Xu You is a bit dissolute, his resourcefulness can be considered strong. Absolutely.

If these three talented counselors who understand military tactics are here, they may be able to find the flaws in Cao's army and win in one battle!

"No, my lord!

Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others were all resentful towards their lord in the military tent, making rude remarks and cursing him for his defeat!

Moreover, the suspicion of Tian Feng secretly communicating with Cao Ang has not been cleared yet. If the lord releases the three of them, he will.

If they really fall to Cao's army, the lord will be like letting the tiger out of the cage and letting it coerce our army to surrender to Cao!

At that time, it will be beyond redemption for our army!"

An anxious voice came from afar.

Zhang He's eyes immediately stood up, and he recognized that the person coming was Guo Tu!

Zhang He has always been disgusted with flattering villains like Guo Tu. He just knew that they were He is the confidant of the lord Yuan Shao, so he usually avoids them whenever possible and does not want to antagonize him.

Only when Guo Tu and others go too far will they stand up and say a few words to support Ju Shou Tian Feng. I also saw Guo Tu just now Tu Shenpei and others were not in the tent, so he took the opportunity to express his loyalty and persuaded Yuan Shao to release Jushou, Tian Feng and others. Among other things, Jushou was in the Hebei army and had always won the morale of the army. He was once the governor of the military and political affairs of Jizhou. Great power.

Later, under Guo Tu's slander, Yuan Shaocai divided General Zhong Daquan into three, making Ju Sue, Guo Tu, and Chunyu Qiong each supervise one department.

If Ju Sue can come back, then the morale of the army will be different.

Although Tian Feng had never led an army alone, he had cooperated with Zhang He and served as a military supervisor in Liyang. He won the hearts of Zhang He's officers and men.

Moreover, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were both resourceful and resourceful, good at using military equipment, and they were upright and prudent. They have gained the trust of the loyal people in Hebei.

If they were in charge of the power in the army, loyal people like Zhang He would also be inspired to fight bravely and fight to the death.

Even if the battle was ineffective, when the soldiers tried their best, Tian Feng Jushou will also intercede for the soldiers.

You don’t have to worry about Guo Tu and others slandering people from behind when they are fighting bravely on the front line, and even blaming the blame for the defeat on the front line soldiers...

Zhang He’s idea is good, if it is true If it can be done, it can at least increase the morale of Yuan's army by 30%.

However, at this time, Guo Tu arrived.

In fact, the reason why Guo Tu came was because he was worried that someone like Zhang He would take the opportunity to make remarks and let Ju Shou go. Tian Feng and others came out.

Because of Yuan Shao's previous strategies, although Yuan Shao himself was short-sighted, many of them were also influenced by the slander and flattery of Guo Tu and others.

Otherwise, if Guo Tu and others had no selfish motives, If Yuan Shao was as public-minded as Jushu Tian Feng, even if Yuan Shao was scheming, he would be influenced by the counselors and destroy the Cao family and his son as soon as possible.

Therefore, Guo Tu and others knew what they had done.

So before the war, , they took advantage of the fact that Xu You, Tian Feng and others said something that Yuan Shao did not like, and took the opportunity to speak to Yuan Shao and ask him to put the three of them in jail.

In order to prevent them from holding Guo Tu and others accountable in front of Yuan Shao for flattery and condoning adultery.

If it is true. If investigated, Yuan Shao will definitely put them in jail, even worse than Jushou Tian Feng!

Especially at this moment, Guo Tu is supervising the army on the front line, but he sees a large number of defeated troops retreating from the rear.

Guo Tu senses something is wrong and is afraid that Yuan Shao Hui Hui released Ju Shou Tian Feng and Xu You because of the defeat, and then asked Shen Pei Feng Ji and others to stay in front for the time being while he came back to check out the situation. Unexpectedly, before he got close, he heard Zhang He saying that Yuan Shao was going to attack him. Jushou, Tian Feng and others were released.

How could Guo Tu agree?

Then he shouted from a distance just now.

No matter what the battle situation was, Guo Tu could not let Jushou and others come back!

Even if Yuan Jun was defeated, Guo Tu and others were in Hebei Province. The aristocratic family can still switch to the Cao family.

Whoever is in charge of Hebei must rely on the aristocratic family?

But if Ju Shou and others come back, Guo Tu and the others will end up badly!

The Julutian family where Tian Feng is located and other hostile aristocratic families will Pressing on them, he may even directly suggest that Yuan Shao kill Guo Tu and others, and take the opportunity to embezzle Guo Tu and others' family property...

Although this is only what Guo Tu imagined, as long as there is a slight possibility, he will not Will sit back and watch!

"My lord, what Zhang He said is really evil talk to deceive the public!

I think this person may have defected to Cao's army after the defeat and was appointed by Cao Ang. Then he came back to slander the lord, hoping to take the opportunity to release Tian Feng Jushu to assist Cao's army!

My lord, you must not be fooled by this person..！"

Guo Tu glanced at Zhang He bitterly and continued to speak.

It has to be said that although Guo Tu was a flattering minister, he knew Yuan Shao's likes and dislikes very well, and he hit what Yuan Shao cared about as soon as he spoke.

Originally, when Yuan Shao heard Zhang He mention Ju Shou and Tian Feng, he wanted to release them.

But after Guo Tu's advice, he immediately changed his mind.

At this time, Ju Shou Tian Feng's suspicion has not yet been cleared.

Although Yuan Shao also knew that they were probably unjust, he just spoke more frankly, which made him suspicious of them in anger.

But combined with Tian Feng's previous appreciation for Cao Ang, it is not impossible that he has secretly turned to Cao Jun!

If one of the three really secretly communicates with Cao's army, once he is released, it will endanger the army!

At this critical moment when the enemy and we were evenly matched, Yuan Shao did not dare to bet on the few possibilities.

He simply listened to Guo Tuzhi and refused to accept Zhang He's remarks.

However, Yuan Shao was not without any brains. Zhang He Gaolan's second general was able to gather the defeated troops when the army was defeated. He brought hundreds of thousands of defeated troops to gather with the Chinese army. Obviously, it was impossible for him to secretly defect to Cao Ang.

Otherwise, even if Cao Jun acted as an internal support, he should not have allowed so many Yuan Jun troops to retreat, so that the main force of Yuan Jun could be preserved...

So Yuan Shao waved his hand and said:"Okay! Ju Shou Tian Feng and others cannot be released for the time being.

Wait until After the war, find out their loyalties and traitors, and then make a decision!

As for the loyalty of the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan, there is no doubt!

I will appoint you two as governors, reorganize the defeated soldiers, put them in a good position, and follow me to defeat the main force of Cao's army! (See For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Take this opportunity to destroy Cao Cao with heavy troops, and then return to the army to surround and suppress Cao Ang!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao did not release Ju Shou Tian Feng, Guo Tu felt a little relieved.

He just glanced at Zhang He with a cold snort, and his expression was vicious, which made Zhang He's eyes twitch.

Guo Tu's look clearly showed that he had remembered Zhang He's hatred. If he seized the opportunity, he would not miss the opportunity to slander Zhang He in front of Yuan Shao...

But Zhang He had no choice but to do his best, Lord. But he didn't accept loyal advice. If Yuan Shao hadn't had some brains, Zhang He might have been harmed by Guo Tu's slander.

Under such circumstances, there was no use talking, so Zhang He had no choice but to take orders to reorganize the defeated troops, preparing to work with Yuan Shao's central army to take advantage of the situation to defeat Cao Cao's main force first.

Currently, Yuan Shao's army has more than 400,000 troops, while Cao's army opposite has only over 200,000 troops.

The strength is twice that of the main force of Cao's army!

Among Cao's troops, except for the invincible elite hussars led by Cao Ang, and the more elite Qingzhou troops and Yuzhou troops from the Hundred Wars of Cao Cao's original army, the rest were the troops surrendered by the princes that Cao Ang had surrendered in the past half year.

Even after Cao Ang's reorganization and training, the results were uneven and there were few truly elite ones.

Defeating more than 200,000 Cao's troops with twice the strength, under fierce attack, there is still hope!

Once the main force of Cao's army was defeated, Cao Ang's troops and horses would be exhausted after the previous battles.

Even if he came later, he wouldn't be able to have the same vigor as when he defeated Wen Chou before.

And Yuan Jun can just take advantage of the great victory to annihilate Cao Ang!

The reason why Zhang He thought this was because until this moment, he had not seen Cao Ang leading his army to pursue him, so he concluded that Cao Ang should have exhausted his strength and was repairing dozens of miles away.

At this time, it was Yuan Jun's opportunity to defeat Cao Cao's main force.

Not only Zhang He thinks so, but also Yuan Shao's military commander thinks that this is a feasible strategy for now.

As long as Cao Cao's main force is defeated as soon as possible, he will still win!

The monarchs and ministers of Hebei can still dominate the princes!

Establish the final qualification to dominate the world!

Therefore, with this thought, Yuan Jun's entire army also regained some morale.

More than 400,000 troops began to press against the main force of Cao's army led by Cao Cao under the orders of the governors, generals and supervisors.

Opposite, where the central army of Cao Cao's army was, faced with the pressure of more than 400,000 Yuan's troops, it indeed put a lot of pressure on the more than 200,000 troops led by Cao Cao.

Cao Jun's front troops began to retreat.

Especially the 40,000 Jiangxia soldiers who were once under Huang Zu's command, because they had recently returned to Cao's army, their combat effectiveness had not been adjusted, which was the weakness of Cao's army.

It was also regarded as the main direction of attack by Yuan Jun.

Under the fierce attack of Jizhou's elite infantry and cavalry, how could the infantry born in Jingzhou's water town stop the horses from Hebei?

So it collapsed first.

When Yuan Jun saw that Jiang Xia's troops had collapsed first, he also seized the opportunity and invested more troops.

We must tear this gap infinitely wide and completely defeat Cao Jun from this gap! []

Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao and all the civil and military personnel in Cao Cao's army should have looked solemn or even panicked.

But at this moment, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu of the Chinese army, and Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Tai Shici and other officers of the front army did not panic at all.

Obviously, he had already anticipated the situation at this moment.

Even Cao Cao did not order Cao Jun to replenish his troops to counterattack where Jiangxia's army collapsed. Instead, he ordered his troops to fight and retreat.

It's not about retreating in defeat, it's about fighting and retreating.

This requires higher quality of soldiers.

Otherwise, a feint of retreat will turn into a real rout.

However, although the composition of Cao's army was complex and uneven, they were all more or less reorganized and trained by Cao Ang.

When Cao Ang was training his troops, he focused on the feigning retreat of the army when the battle was unfavorable.

This is also the essence of Han Xin's art of war.

Generals who are good at using feints of retreat and defeat can often achieve a plan to lure the enemy deeper and turn defeat into victory!

When Han Xin, the military immortal, went to Jingxing with his troops to defeat the King of Zhao in a last-ditch battle, it was Shilling's men who feigned retreat and led the Zhao army to the river.

At the same time, he told his subordinates that the Han army had reached the river and had no way to retreat. The Han army had no choice but to fight to the death in order to survive.

On the other side, surprise troops were secretly deployed. When the Zhao army pursued the Han army to the river and the camp at the rear was empty, they directly captured the Zhao army's camp pass and filled it with Han flags.

In this way, the Zhao army tried to destroy the Han army by the river but was unsuccessful. Instead, it was repulsed by the Han army. When they returned to the outside of the camp, they saw that the camp had been captured by the Han army. Therefore, their morale was in chaos and they surrendered to the Han army.

Cao Cao had previously received the news from Cao Ang using the Thousand Mile Falcon, and determined the strategy for this decisive battle.

One of them is to feign retreat and attract the main force of Yuan's army to a location far away from the main camp.

Therefore, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and other advisers and generals did not panic at this moment. According to the prior arrangement, they took advantage of the small defeat of Jiangxia soldiers and retreated.

If there is a strategist in Yuan's army who is looking high up at this moment, he may be able to see the clues and dissuade Yuan Shao from moving the whole army.

But at this moment, Jushou Tian Feng and others were imprisoned in the rear camp, guarded by soldiers.

Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals were also on the front line and could not get an overview of the battlefield.

Yuan Shao was left with only Xin Ping, Chen Lin and other people with limited resourcefulness or civil servants.

Even someone as capable as Guo Tu was supervising the troops on the front line.

Therefore, naturally no one reminded Yuan Shao of this.

When Yuan Shao saw that Cao's army was about to retreat, his melancholy disappeared, and he said with great joy:"The whole army is pursuing us, take this opportunity to annihilate Cao's army and capture Cao Cao alive!" He moved forward after chasing Cao Jun, away from the camp behind him.

And when Yuan Jun was chasing Cao Jun, at the rear, Yuan Jun's camp was located.

Cao Ang led 5,000 Qingqi and Xiahou Dungao, who had been repairing for a while, and led the soldiers and horses of the forbidden post to arrive here.

Yuan Shao only had more than 10,000 troops left to guard the camp. How could they withstand Cao Ang's attack of more than 50,000 cavalry?

Therefore, within a moment, Yuan's army of more than 10,000 defenders collapsed. Yuan Shao's general Jiao touched Zhang Nan's two generals and was killed by Li Cunxiao and Xu Chu. The rest of Yuan's army was either killed or surrendered.

The three people, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Xu You, who were imprisoned by Yuan Shao, were also released by Cao Ang.

Seeing Cao Ang's arrival, Ju Shou and Tian Feng all let out a long sigh with a painful look on their face:"General, here we are, my lord is in danger!"

Xu You laughed out loud:"Yuan Shao just brought it upon himself, the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes?

Humph ?! It’s all in vain!"
