another ten days later
In the Battle of the White Horse, the news that Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu came, Yuan Shao was furious, called Liu Bei, and asked him by his first name: "Liu Bei, I have treated you well, but your brother beheaded my general! "

He was also really angry, that's why he ignored etiquette and called other people's names directly without any respect.

Liu Bei was shocked, and quickly explained: "General, it's hard to say whether it's my second brother or not, maybe Mr. Ziye is delusional? Besides, even if it is really my second brother, he is in Cao Ying, and I can't command him." He, General, you are kind and mighty all over the world, do you want to vent your anger on others?"

"Hmm..." Yuan Shao gradually calmed down, and then said gently to Liu Bei, "Then Lord Lao Xuande will follow Wen Chou to attack Yanjin. If we meet Guan Yunchang again, I hope that Lord Xuande can bring Guan Yunchang back."

Call me Xuande Gong when you need me, call me Liu Bei when you don’t need me, and call me big-eared thief when you hate me, heh!

Liu Bei was not moved by Yuan Shao's way of slapping a grape, he just thought about when he would abduct Zhao Yun and leave Yuan Shao, otherwise he would die in Yuan Shao's hands sooner or later.

"Liu Bei takes orders!" Liu Bei replied respectfully, he had to bow his head under the eaves.

……

another month later

Liu Bei Wenchou led an army of [-] across the Yellow River from Yanjin, preparing to go straight to Guandu.

Seeing this, Cao Cao wanted to retreat to Guandu and abandon the Yanjin defense line.

At this critical moment, Xun You persuaded: "Now is the time for you, Mr. Ming, to turn defeat into victory!"

"Abandon the grain, grass, and luggage, and Yuan Jun will inevitably be unable to resist looting the grain, grass, and luggage. When they plunder, and you suddenly come out, Ming Gong, Wen Chou and Liu Bei will surely be defeated!"

The army at this time has no military discipline at all, and it is considered humane not to massacre the city, and robbery is a very normal thing.

After all, even a benevolent monarch like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu robbed several cities in the early days of his fortune, and his generals even slaughtered the cities.

Sure enough, as Cao Cao dropped the food and supplies, Yuan Jun's soldiers refused to obey Wen Chou's command, and went to snatch the supplies one after another.

"You are not allowed to leave the army and act without authorization, all return to the army!" Wen Chou panicked, how could he not know that this situation is likely to be an ambush deliberately left by Cao Jun, but knowing is one thing, and whether he has the ability to prevent things from happening is another one thing.

The soldiers lost consecutive battles, their morale was low, and they no longer had the high spirit they had a few months ago. Now they just want to go back to their hometown in Hebei to hold their wives and have children after grabbing their things.

"Supervisor team! Where is the supervisor team?!"

"Behead and kill the soldiers who left the main force without authorization to rob supplies!"

"Report to the general, our supervisor team is also robbing supplies!"

"what?!"

I saw that the members of the supervising team also robbed supplies along with other ordinary soldiers.

The army is not the more people the better, the mob who does not obey the command, the more people there are, the easier it is to lose. These people are purely disserviceable, which is why the Wang family has always been committed to the strategy of elite soldiers.

I would rather have a hundred elite soldiers who absolutely obey the command than 1 mobs.

Just when Wen Chou's army was in chaos, Cao Cao brought thousands of cavalry to kill him.

"kill!"

"Run!"

"what!--"

Wen Chou's army was defeated, and he was beheaded by an unknown soldier of Cao Jun while fleeing.

Liu Bei played on the legacy of his ancestors and wanted to run away the moment he saw Yuan Jun soldiers robbing supplies. When he saw Cao Jun rushing, he was the first to run back.

When the news of Wen Chou's tragic defeat came, Liu Bei was worried that Yuan Shao would be angry with him, so he decisively took Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to flee to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

"The whole army is going south and going straight to Guandu. I want to fight to the death with Cao Cao!" After losing again and again, Yuan Shao couldn't bear to keep trying to save his grandpa with gourd babies. All the [-] troops below were crushed up.

After months of bloody battles, Yuan Shao's 11 army had [-] left, and Cao Cao's [-] army had [-] left. Both sides suffered great losses.

Yuan Shao's foundation is really too strong, even with such waves and so many times, he is still far stronger than Cao Cao. If it were Liu Bei, he would be gone with just one wave.

Yuan Shao's [-] troops crossed the Yanjin Ferry in mighty force. Cao Cao did not dare to stop him, so he had to abandon the Yanjin defense line and retreat to Guandu, which was easier to defend and harder to attack.

To the south of Yanjin is Guandu, and to the south of Guandu is Xuchang.

"We have no way to retreat, because Xuchang is behind us!" Cao Cao encouraged his soldiers at the Guandu defense line.

And between Yanjin County and Guandu County, there is another township called Wuchao Township. The terrain of this township is higher than the surrounding area, which is relatively easy to defend, and it is relatively close to Yanjin and Guandu County, which is suitable for transshipment of grain and grass. Materials, so Yuan Shao stored all the food, grass and supplies of the 1 army in Wuchao, and asked Chun Yuqiong to lead 6 people to defend Wuchao, while he himself took the remaining [-] people to continue south to attack Guandu.

To be honest, Cao Cao's total army strength is only 1 left, while Wuchao's defenders are [-], so as long as Chunyuqiong is still a normal person, it is absolutely impossible for Wuchao to have an accident.

Even if Cao Cao went out to attack Wuchao, with defensive facilities such as trenches and arrow towers, it should not be a big problem for 1 people to defend 5000 people.

So no one is worried that Wuchao will fall.

However, tonight...

Thirty miles north of Guandu City
Yuan Shao's tent
"Ming Gong, I have found evidence that Xu You was embezzling ink's military rations!" The judge was very happy. While advising Yuan Shao, he frantically investigated the black information of his political opponents. Xu You was one of them investigated by him.

"Xu You has secretly sold military rations to Cao Cao in the past few years. I suspect that he received 50 from Cao Cao. He was sent by Cao Cao as an undercover agent!" the judge said seriously.

But he was only half right.

It is true that Xu You was greedy for the military rations of Mexico, and indeed he had secretly sold the military rations to Cao Cao, but Xu You did not collude with Cao Cao. purely.

Therefore, after Yuan Shao officially declared war on Cao Cao, Xu You immediately stopped the smuggling of military rations with Cao Cao, and instead began to secretly sell military rations to the Qianghu people in Bingzhou. In exchange for five baht.

But the evidence was right in front of him, and there was no room for Yuan Shao's disbelief.

"Xu You! How dare you do that!" Yuan Shao was already very angry because of the successive defeats, but now that he knew that the person he trusted the most had betrayed him, he was even more furious.

Xu You, who was in the barracks trying to intercept military rations and sell them to make money, was so scared that he ran away to Cao Cao's camp overnight when he heard that the judge had reported him. He brought Cao Cao a big gift by the way.

This great gift is the military deployment of Yuan Shao's army, the situation of soldiers, the situation of food, the situation of food roads, the situation of granaries, internal conflicts, the defense maps of various cities, etc.

Ordinary people do not have access to this information. Even if they betrayed, they would not be able to send such a great gift to Cao Cao. Perhaps you are the core of Yuan Shao's forces, so he is eligible to have access to this information.
