Chapter 319 Cao Cao's Wavering

"What? What did you say? It's impossible!" After hearing the news that his most important generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were all killed by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and said in disbelief.

"Although the last general couldn't believe it, it's true," the scout in charge of the report said with a wry smile: "General Yan Liang was beaten to death by many generals under Cao Cao's command. Sneak attack can be said to be omnipotent and despicable, but General Wen Chou fell into Xun Yu's trick and encountered an ambush, but was shot and killed by Cao Cao's soldiers with bows and crossbows..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were Yuan Shao's most trusted confidants, and they were also Yuan Shao's most capable generals. Now that they died in such humiliation, it was really unbearable. That's why Yuan Shao was so angry. When he was angry, Yuan Shao immediately decided to lead the army in person. , we must change our colors to Cao Cao.

At this time, the counselor Ju Shou stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, the previous subordinate officials tried hard to persuade the lord not to send Yan Liang Wenchou to fight, but the lord did not listen, which caused today's disaster. Now the subordinate officials persuaded me again, and now Yan Liang The second general Wen Chou has just died, and the morale of our army is low. It is not suitable to march again. My lord only needs to contact Lu Bu, send someone to give him a generous gift, and ask him to send troops to Yuzhou. My lord can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, while developing production and accumulating wealth with peace of mind. Train the soldiers, just like the great general Liu He, just like this, I believe that within a few years, our army will be able to dominate the Central Plains with an absolute advantage..."

"Huh, Jushou, don't you want to disturb our army's morale here. Tian Feng said the same thing before, and he is still in the prison in Yecheng. Don't you want to go in too? Let me tell you, Cao Amou killed two of my subordinates General, if I don't fight back, how can I explain to the generals who are loyal to me? It's a pity that Zhang and Gao Lan are not on the front line because of the precautions against Liu and Xiao'er. Otherwise, there would not be no generals in our army... ..."

Before Yuan Shao could finish his sentence, Chunyu Qiong, the general under his command, said, "Otherwise, how can my lord say that you don't have any generals under your command? Isn't there still a last general? Please give me an order, my lord. Cao Ah concealed the truth."

At the same time, Han Meng, Lu Weihuang, Jiang Yiqu, Jiang Qi, Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Gan, Guo Yuan and other generals also saluted one after another: "Please send the last general to the battle, my lord, I will definitely kill you!" Cao Cao's dog head, here to avenge Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the second general!"

Yuan Shao's two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, also stepped forward to ask for a fight, and even Yuan Shang, who was underage, clamored loudly to bring an army to defeat Cao.

"Okay! Fortunately, I still have all of you, otherwise my ears will be filled with dissenting voices every day, and I really don't know what to do." Yuan Shao squinted at Jushou, ignored him, and continued to say loudly: "I see With everyone's performance today, I believe we will defeat Cao Cao very soon. Everyone, follow me to attack the white horse. I don't believe that with our [-] troops and everyone's firm determination to fight, we can only win the battle. Cao Ah, who has more soldiers and horses!"

Then Yuan Shao issued an order that General Han Meng was responsible for escorting the grain and grass, Chunyu Qiong was responsible for guarding the grain and grass, and other generals went to fight with him.

At this time, Jushou gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I think your arrangement is a bit inappropriate. Food and grass are the reliance of the three armies, and the guarantee for soldiers to continue fighting. You must send a wise and brave person to protect the food and grass. Now that Chunyu Qiong is old, and has been involved in several accidents due to drinking, if he is allowed to guard the food and grass, it is estimated that the lives of the soldiers of the three armies will be killed by him sooner or later."

"Hmph, Mr. Ju, what do you mean by that? Although I, Chunyu Qiong, have a bit of good wine, I have never missed my lord's affairs. Also, what do you mean by saying that I am old? Look at me Where do I look old? I am as old as the lord, although I don't look as young as the lord, but I can't say I am old, right? I'm afraid it's not kind for you to slander me in front of me like this?" Chunyu When Qiong said this, she looked at Yuan Shao again, and said with tears: "My lord, my lord, you heard it too. Mr. Ju has a look of dislike for me now. I wonder if my lord thinks the same way? If so, the last general will also Wuyan is no longer here to compete with the generals, it is better to honestly go to Yecheng to retire."

"Brother Chunyu's words are off the mark. How many years did we serve as the eighth captain of Xiyuan together? How can you say you are old now? This is just an attack by some people with ulterior motives. You don't have to let it go." In my eyes, you just need to do as I tell you."

Yuan Shao comforted Chunyuqiong gently, then looked at Jushou with cold eyes, and then said: "Since you are afraid of death, then don't go, it's better to stay in Yecheng, so as not to disturb our army's morale after going."

Then Yuan Shao led the army to Baima. At this time, Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun appointed by Cao Cao, in order to shrink the front line and concentrate his troops to defend against the enemy, took the initiative to lead the army back to Guandu under Cao Cao's order. This made Yuan Shao very excited, because Yuan Shao believed that This is when the enemy army saw that their side was strong and fled without a fight, so they ordered the army to continue to advance, take advantage of the victory, and conquer Guandu in one fell swoop.

However, the two sides had a long confrontation here at Guandu, which lasted for several months. During these months, Yuan Shao led the army to attack the city several times, killing corpses everywhere and bleeding Chenghe, but the soldiers under Cao Cao's command were defending tenaciously, and Yuan Shao didn't even take a step forward.

"I didn't expect Yuan Shao's elite soldiers to be so powerful. Our army relied on the geographical advantage to hold on for several months. However, I believe that we are still no match. Why don't we withdraw our troops and return to Xudu? What do you guys think?"

In Cao Cao's big tent, Cao Cao and his advisers discussed the countermeasures together. Now he has lost confidence in winning, so he spoke.

At this time, Xun Yu said: "My lord's words are wrong. Yu doesn't think so. Although we are indeed weaker at present, the soldiers have the confidence to persevere. Although Yuan Shao's side looks aggressive, the inside In fact, there are still many contradictions. I believe that as long as we stick to it, there will be problems within Yuan Shao. At that time, we only need to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. If we retreat now, it will be difficult for us to reverse it. Opportunity, now our army has Lu Bu in the east, Yuan Shu in the south, and Liu He in the west. Once we give in, we will inevitably be attacked by their groups. At that time, we will be doomed. The above is Yu's humble opinion, please think again, my lord! "
