Great Military Division

Chapter 498 Yuan Shao's anger: Even if you try hard, you have to make a way!
"Report—!"

Just as Xu Huang and Cheng Yin were arranging their troops and preparing to go to the minefield to fight.

Suddenly, not far ahead, there was a hurried announcement.

Xu Huang looked up.

But seeing that his own scout Pegasus came, with a smile that could not be concealed on his face, he didn't even bother to salute, so he said, "General, Yuan Shao's vanguard was repelled by our minefield."

"Is it back like this?"

Cheng Yin was surprised and suspicious.

"kindness."

The scout nodded with great certainty: "I did retreat. I think I should be afraid. After all, from the beginning to the end, I didn't see any of our soldiers, but the explosions were happening one after another."

"Some of Yuan Jun's soldiers were bombed into the sky, and even some war horses were bombed into a mass of flesh. The death was very tragic. Such a scene is like a ghost, how can they not be alarmed, and how can they dare not retreat?"

hiss-!
Cheng Yin suddenly realized that he couldn't help taking a breath.

think carefully.

It seems to be the case.

If I stumbled upon such a scene without knowing the truth, I guess I would also suspect that there is something wrong with it.

People in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, and the fact that the mine array had such an unexpected effect was naturally great news for Xu Huang and others.

Cheng Yin turned his head to look at Xu Huang, and said in surprise: "Gongming, since Yuan Jun has already retreated, what should we do next? Keep waiting, or take the initiative?"

Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief and kept himself calm first, so that he could think calmly and come to the most correct judgment: "For the time being, hold on and see how Yuan Shao decides."

"kindness."

Cheng Yin nodded, and subconsciously clenched his fists: "Unfortunately, our number of mines is too small. If we can have more, all roads will be blocked, so that Yuan Shao can hardly fly."

Xu Huang pinched the moustache under his jaw and sighed lightly: "Isn't it a waste? If I knew that landmines were so useful, I would just put mines all over the city outside of Handan, which would save a lot of troops and horses, so that we could Catch turtles in the urn."

"correct."

Cheng Yin was astonished, turned his head and glanced at Xu Huang, and said with admiration: "Gongming is really smart, no wonder Wenyuan attaches so much importance to you."

"Unfortunately, we don't have time to fully understand the power of the mines sent by the imperial court. Otherwise, in this battle, we will really take Yuan Shao's head into our pockets."

Xu Huang also felt this way, sighed, and said softly, "This is the end of the matter, there is no other way, we still follow the original plan and send people to keep an eye on Yuan Shao's movements. Once there is news, it will be reported immediately without any mistakes. "

Cheng Yin patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, it has been arranged properly."

"Oh, right."

Xu Huang took a deep breath and reminded: "Remember, tell us not to enter the minefield."

Cheng Yin nodded: "Don't worry, General, the minefields are all marked. Our people shouldn't make such a stupid mistake. I hope Yuan Shao can walk two more minefields and rely on mines to delay time and consume his vitality."

The number of ambushes is relatively small, and once the two sides meet, a war is inevitable.

Even though Nanyang's soldiers were relatively strong in combat, it was still difficult to prevent the opponent from escaping under the absolute number of suppression.

Only by delaying enough time can we wait for Zhang Liao to bring troops to come, and the two sides will attack and surround Yuan Shao and get the credit.

This is the safest way.

*****
On the road to Julu County.

A team is running fast.

Yuan Shao sat upright on the battle horse and felt nervous for a while.

Because, just now, he vaguely heard the sound of an explosion.

Urge-!
Yuan Shao subconsciously restrained the war horse, raised his eyes and looked forward, frowning involuntarily: "Did you hear that?"

Feng Ji next to him looked slightly surprised: "Ah? My lord, did you hear something?"

Yuan Shao glanced at Fengji: "Didn't you hear it?"

Feng Ji shook his head: "No."

Yuan Shao turned his head and glanced at Xu You: "Ziyuan, what about you?"

Xu You frowned even more: "That's not true."

"I seem to hear it."

The trial on the side is echoing: "It's like. It seems like it is."

Yuan Shao's eyes fell on Shen Pei: "Although the distance is a little far, does it sound like a thunderous voice?"

"Fuhuo Thunder?"

Feng Ji was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes staring like a bell.

According to common sense, they have already escaped from the boundaries of Handan, how could there be the sound of thunder and lightning.

And once it is really ambush and thunder, it can only prove that the other party has set up an ambush on the way they must pass, and it is not others but their own cavalry who are fighting fiercely ahead.

"Yes."

Yuan Shao nodded affirmatively: "It must be Fu Huo Lei Ting."

Fengji's throat rolled, and he was horrified: "Isn't it? We have already escaped from Handan."

Xu You also echoed as much as possible: "My lord, did you hear it wrong? How could there be the voice of Fu Huo Lei Ting? Brother Zhengnan, do you think Shi Cai's voice is Fu Huo Lei Ting?"

"This"

The trial match naturally did not dare to speak nonsense.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and said softly, "It shouldn't be."

After all, we need to take care of Yuan Shao's emotions now. If there is an ambush ahead, it is very likely that Yuan Shao's mentality will collapse. This is extremely unfavorable for stabilizing the three armies, especially in the current environment.

"Isn't it?"

Yuan Shao frowned and kept giving himself psychological hints.

At this moment, he is already a frightened bird, very afraid to hear the sound of Fu Huo and Thunder.

I only heard that it was okay before, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and then I know how terrifying Fu Huo Lei Ting is.

"no!"

Xu You nodded, his tone very determined.

"Certainly not."

Feng Ji nodded solemnly, with determination flashing in his eyebrows.

"Well, definitely not."

Shen Pei took a deep breath and bowed his hands: "My lord, don't worry."

Only then did Yuan Shao secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Maybe I have hallucinations, and I'm already approaching Quliang, how could I hear the voice of Fu Huo Lei Ting."

Immediately.

He waved his hand and commanded, "Continue on your way."

However, the team hadn't taken a step yet, and even Yuan Shao himself had not had time to get on the horse's belly, and there was another boom in the air.

And this time, the voice was much clearer than the last time, not to mention Yuan Shao himself, even Guo Tu, Xu You and others around him could hear them all.

Urge-!
Yuan Shao hurriedly restrained the warhorse, his brows furrowed very high: "Listen, isn't this the sound of a fire and thunder?"

Feng Ji's whole body is going numb. After all, this route was suggested by him. If there are enemy troops in ambush, wouldn't it prove that he was wrong in his judgment?

but
He clearly heard the explosion too.

This point, but you can deceive yourself, you can't deceive others.

"Ah, this"

Feng Ji was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer.

"It seems to be true"

Even if Xu You didn't want to admit it, it didn't seem to work.

After all, this kind of thing can be hidden for a while, and it will never be hidden for a lifetime. This guy Han Meng will definitely send someone to report: "Is it really Fu Huo Lei Ting?"

However, at this moment, Xu You no longer cared about whether it was a fire and thunder, but was lamenting that within the Nanyang court, the generals' competition for Yuan Shao was so frantic.

A Zhang Liao is still self-inflicted, and he can still separate people to chase and intercept Yuan Shao. Do you have so many soldiers and horses?Just want to do this kind of thing?
This does not include the inevitable Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, Cao Cao from Yanzhou, Xu Rong from Qingzhou, and even Gongsun Zan from Youzhou. Even if Yuan Shaote has 120 lives, he may not be able to pass the level!
The task that this fellow Cao Cao arranged for him is simply hell-level. Now let alone going to your place, it may or may not be possible to get out of Zhang Liao's encirclement.

"Damn!"

Xu You cursed secretly, resentful in his heart.

The trial partner on the side naturally heard the voice of Fu Huo Lei Ting, but he felt bad for the first time: "My lord, there seems to be something wrong with this situation."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

Shen Pei whispered: "My subordinates remember very clearly that this is a plain terrain, and there is a lake not far ahead. According to common sense, this is not suitable for ambushes."

hiss-!
Yuan Shao was surprised and took a deep breath.

indeed.

The terrain of the plain is boundless as far as the eye can see, and it is clear at a glance whether there is an ambush.

Han Meng is one of the four pillars in Hebei, and in a sense, he is also a general.

Since it is a plain terrain and there is no obstruction, how can it be possible to encounter an ambush?
Where did this thunderous sound come from?
"But the voice"

Yuan Shao was stunned again, he couldn't believe what happened.

"Lord."

Shen Pei bowed his hands and said, "Why don't we do this, let's hold our troops for the time being, and send someone to inquire about the news. If we really encounter an ambush, we will report back sooner than later."

"As for the chasing soldiers behind you?"

Speaking of this, Shen Pei sighed lightly and said, "They are exhausted after fighting for a day, and they are all infantry. I am afraid it will not be so easy to catch up."

Yuan Shao nodded slowly: "Okay, just do as you said, come here."

The scout beside him stepped forward: "My lord."

"Go quickly to find out the news."

"Here."

The scouts went to inquire, the army rested in place, and sent people to guard the surroundings.

Before long, it was convenient for the soldiers and horses to return.

"Look, my lord."

Trial raised his hand and pointed forward.

Yuan Shao looked up.

But I saw that a group of soldiers and horses rushed forward, and the person who came was not a scout, but Han Meng, a general under Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao seemed to feel something, and subconsciously became nervous.

Before Han Meng stepped forward to speak, Yuan Shao waved his hand to interrupt: "Why, but there are Zhang Liao ambushing soldiers ahead?"

Han Meng didn't dare to talk nonsense, even if he told everything he had encountered.

"That's how it is."

Han Meng sighed and bowed his hands.

"You didn't see a single figure?"

Not to mention Yuan Shao, even the think tank next to him was surprised.

"Is that impossible?"

Fengji was horrified, as if he had run into a ghost.

"But."

Han Meng forced himself to remain calm: "It is indeed an explosion of fire and thunder, this is what the last commander has personally experienced."

Xu You was astonished. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still added fuel to it: "Could it be a ghost?"

Shen Pei denied without hesitation: "How can there be ghosts in the daytime, Zi Yuanxiu's nonsense, affecting the military's heart."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xu You hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Don't blame my lord, I said the wrong thing."

However, Xu You said that, but it has already been exported, so it is difficult to prevent it from playing its role.

Don't see, Yuan Shao's expression is a little unsettled at the moment, he didn't say much, just tentatively said: "How about we go another way?"

"Change lanes?"

As soon as Xu You heard these two words, the whole person was completely stunned.

This is something that he absolutely does not allow to happen, otherwise, wouldn't all the preparations in the early stage be in vain?

Motherfucker!
Xu You originally thought that his biggest enemies were Fengji and Shenpei, but he never thought that it was not them, but the battle for merits from within Nanyang Hanting?
Wanting to successfully send Yuan Shao's head to Cao Cao, it is simply difficult to ascend to the sky, the opponent has even used the magic of evil spirits, what other means are they afraid to do.

"Yes."

Yuan Shao nodded and said softly, "There are soldiers in ambush ahead, so we can only change lanes."

Xu You immediately added: "But lord, can you guarantee that there will be no ambushes on the rest of the way? We have not even found a single enemy!"

"This"

Yuan Shao suddenly became hesitant.

indeed.

If you can encounter ghosts on this road, you can also encounter ghosts on other roads.

On the side, Fengji said with deep conviction: "Ziyuan is right. This kind of thing that can't see the enemy can happen here, and it can also happen in other places."

"perhaps."

Feng Ji guessed: "Zhang Liao uses this method precisely because of the lack of troops. As for whether it is a ghost or not, the answer is naturally no."

"We have every reason to believe that this should belong to the new weapon of Nanyang Hanting, but we still don't know what kind of weapon it is."

"Yes."

Following that, Xu You immediately echoed: "The public is right, this must be a new weapon of Nanyang Hanting. After all, they have always liked to innovate weapons, and the same is true this time."

Shen Pei stared at Xu You and couldn't help but wonder, why is this guy so resistant to changing paths?
but
Even if it is to judge oneself, it is relatively opposed.

Therefore, such thoughts just flashed and disappeared in my mind: "My lord, it is indeed not advisable to change paths at this time. After all, we have Zhang Liao's pursuers behind us."

"I think that Zhang Liao is acting like a ghost, and in the final analysis, the purpose is to delay our escape time, so that Zhang Liao can be chased and killed, so as to buy enough time."

"It is not advisable to change paths at this time. Even if it is a hard ride, you have to make a way out, otherwise we will definitely be fooled. This is an unwise move."

Fengji breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly surrendered: "My subordinates agree."

Xu You followed up: "I also agree below."

Even the general Han Meng, after listening to the analysis of the think tanks, could not help but suddenly become enlightened, and immediately bowed his hands and said loudly: "The last general agrees."

Yuan Shao pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Since everyone does not agree to change paths, then let's follow the previous plan, even if we die, we have to find a way out."

"Han Meng."

"The end is here."

"Lead the troops and horses, return to the original road, and continue to move forward."

"Here."

******
Qinghe.

Cao's army camp.

Central Army, big tent.

At this time, Cao Cao had once again become the commander of the three armies, wearing battle armor and a cloak, standing in front of the sand table, staring at the intertwining forces on the sand table, frowning and contemplating.

Beside him, Tang Mao was equally astonished, and said with emotion, "It's just Yuan Shao, and it's incredible that the main generals of all parties are fighting for this."

"Guo Zhang naturally doesn't care."

"after all."

Cao Cao let out a long breath and said softly, "You are the father of the state, and there is an empress in the palace, and at the beginning, Mr. Tang sold his property and supported His Majesty's uprising. How can His Majesty forget this kindness."

"Even if you don't have the slightest military exploits, it will not affect your status, but we are different. The generals of the court depend on military exploits to survive. Without military exploits, I wait for nothing."

"Who is Yuan Shao?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's eyes fell on the sand table, and he said solemnly: "He is the last prince in the north, and the last bloodline of the traitor Yuan clan. It is of great significance to kill him."

"And, if I guess correctly, once the imperial court unifies the big man, it will inevitably re-integrate the power of the main generals of all parties, and the record will become a very important reference at that time."

"Kingzhang!"

Cao Cao said with great certainty: "My dream is to become the general of the imperial court to conquer the west and accomplish the great cause that my ancestors failed to accomplish, so I must fight for this credit!"

Tang Mao could feel the raging fire of the dream in Cao Cao's eyes. At this moment, he felt very excited, and he deeply felt that the young man in front of him would become a great weapon in the future.

"Good."

Tang Mao patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, and nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty really did not see you wrong, try your best to show it, the court's General Zhengxi, you must be the one."

Although Liu Bian has restricted the power of his foreign relatives, so that Tang Mao does not have much weight in the court, this still does not affect Tang Mao's own judgment on the court situation.

In fact, since he often went to and from the court, sometimes he could meet His Majesty the Emperor and listen to him chat about the current situation of the court, so he had some understanding of the Emperor's strategic concept.

Including the future strategic city of the Second Ring Road, as of now, it is still a secret. Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others are completely unclear, but Tang Mao already knows it.

Therefore, he highly appreciates Cao Cao's ambition and foresight, and since he has been in contact with him for so long, he also has a certain understanding of Cao Cao's abilities.

Facing Tang Mao's admiration, Cao Cao just smiled lightly. After Quan responded, he turned to face the sand table: "Yuan Shao is sure to die, but now the person staring at Yuan Shao's head is definitely not a certain Cao."

"Xu Rong sent general Zu Mao to attack Bohai County in person, while he led his elite troops and went straight to Anping to kill him, making it clear that he was attacking Yuan Shao."

"In addition, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, who were stationed in Wei County, also sent troops and horses to meet Yuan Shao who was heading south. If Yuan Shao went south, no matter how capable Cao Cao was, I might not be able to capture Yuan Shao's head."

"As for Zhang Liao."

Cao Cao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Although this man is young, he is proficient in the art of warfare and decisive in killing. He is a rare and handsome talent."

"He handed over Zhongshan and Changshan to the Montenegrin Army, and he concentrated all the main force to deal with Yuan Shao in Handan, and made it clear that he also wanted to take Yuan Shao's head."

Obviously!

All of them were smart people, and they knew very well the meaning of Yuan Shao's head.

Although the major generals cannot compete on the bright side, there are definitely many secret struggles, especially for Cao Cao.

"What's the current situation?"

Not to mention Cao Cao, even Tang Mao felt nervous.

"The scout hasn't returned yet."

Cao Cao sighed and said helplessly.

"Report—!"

As soon as the voice fell, he heard a long announcement from outside the tent.

Cao Cao looked up.

But I saw that my guard lifted the curtain and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "General, the scout is back and is waiting outside the tent."

Cao Cao made a move: "Quick, let him in, I have something to ask him."

The guard nodded: "Well."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the tent.

After a while, the scout lifted the curtain and entered, stepping forward: "General."

Before the other party could speak, Cao Cao waved his hand to interrupt, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"

The scout straightened up: "According to the report from the horse inspection, Xu Huang sent people to install a large number of mines in some sections of the road, and set up an ambush on the way to the east."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was amazed: "What a Xu Huang, he really has a unique vision."

Tang Mao on the side didn't understand: "Meng De, isn't it a pity that Xu Huang wasted such a waste of landmines?"

Cao Cao said softly, "It's just some landmines, how can they be compared with Yuan Shao? They have few troops, and it is very difficult to capture Yuan Shao. These landmines can not only blow up Yuan Shao's intention, but also consume his troops, killing two birds with one stone, why not? for?"

"This"

Tang Mao suddenly realized, and nodded slowly: "Yes, indeed!"

Cao Cao frowned and analyzed carefully: "If Xu You's strategy is successful, he must first go east and then south, so that although he can avoid the inevitable Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, he is facing Xu Huang who is in ambush. ."

"I really don't know if this Xu Huang guessed something, or it happened by chance, but in any case, this person can think of this method, which is enough to prove his ability."

Tang Mao asked tentatively, "Meng De, what should we do next?"

Cao Cao sighed and made a decisive decision: "Now we must take action."

"Come on."

Cao Cao greeted him.

"General."

The messenger stepped forward and bowed his hands: "What are your orders?"

Cao Cao said eloquently: "Immediately send out the messengers, and let the generals follow the original plan without any mistakes."

The messenger nodded: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the tent.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Tang Mao, and said solemnly: "Guo Zhang, I can't reveal it yet, this time the Chinese army still has to trouble you."

Tang Mao naturally understood the reason and nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me. Although I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, this distance is really insignificant compared to when I went from Kuaiji to Nanyang."

Cao Cao bowed his hands: "Thank you Guozhang."
