Chapter 354 Yanhou (V)

"Protect Duke Ming!"

Guo Jia yelled at the crowd, and Cao Jun soldiers moved closer to Cao Cao.

But Wang Jue and Lu Bu were too close to Cao Cao. Although Lu Bu was temporarily blocked by Xu Chu, who would block Wang Jue?
"Cao thief! Take your life!" Wang Jue stabbed Ma Qian at Cao Cao.

"Ming Gong!" Guo Jia panicked.

Xu Chu's eyes widened, and without hesitation, he turned around and held the tip of Wang Jue's Ma Qiang spear with his hand. His palm was cut by Ma Qian's spear blade, and blood flowed down.

His action of protecting Cao Cao also exposed his weakness to Lu Bu who was fighting him.

"If you dare to be distracted from fighting with Lu Bu, you will die!" Lu Bu's horse spear pierced Xu Chu's chest and pierced through the back.

puff!
Xu Chu immediately fell to the ground and died.

After Xu Chu died, Cao Cao's soldiers finally gathered and surrounded Cao Cao.

Xu Chu bought Cao Cao a safe time with his own life.

Seeing that the plan to kill Cao thief was not successful, Wang Jue shouted to everyone: "Withdraw!"

"Chasing!" Cao Cao was furious, and ran away after the provocation, came and left whenever he wanted, do I think Cao Cao's territory is a public toilet?
After all, there are only more than 300 tiger and leopard riders left, and more than 1000 elite Cao Jun is left. Wang Jue just wants to catch Cao Cao by surprise, maybe he will run away when he has a chance to kill Cao Cao.

Although the plan to kill Cao Cao failed, Cao Cao couldn't hold Guandu City anymore.

The food road was cut off, so they could only go home to replenish food and grass. If they stayed in Guandu, there was a high probability that they would starve to death.

As for the re-delivery of grain from Xuchang, that is unlikely. The speed of transporting grain is much slower than the speed of marching, and all the granaries around Xuchang were burned down by Wang Jue during the guerrilla warfare. Tuntian District.

……

Yanjin
When Yuan Shao withdrew his troops to Yanjin, Wang Jue's tiger and leopard cavalry finally arrived.

When Yuan Shao learned that Wang Jue had been fighting guerrillas in the Central Plains for the past few months, he burned hundreds of Cao Cao's granaries, captured Cao Cao's base camp Xuchang, captured Cao Cao's most important adviser, Xun Yu, and ran into Cao Cao head-on, almost killing him. When Cao Cao was in a depressed mood, he suddenly laughed heartily.

"Good! Good!"

"As expected of my nephew, Yuan Shao, he was born rich!" Yuan Shao couldn't help but praise Wang Jue. The word "born rich" was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che to praise Huo Qubing, and now Yuan Shao used it to praise Wang Jue.

"Cao Cao has no food and grass, so he certainly dare not continue to stick to Guandu in a state of food shortage. Why didn't Duke Ming take this opportunity to go south to capture Guandu, as a bridgehead for us to go south to attack Xuchang again in the future?" Wang Jue suggested.

"Heyu, to be honest, our army's food and grass are all in Wuchao, and we are out of food." Yuan Shao sighed, and after finishing speaking, he asked Wang Jue curiously: "How do you solve the logistics problem in the Central Plains?" of?"

"I, Wang Jue, don't need logistics for fighting. The enemy's corpse is my logistics. This is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War. The enemy is the food!" Wang Jue said confidently. He was as proud and confident as Huo Qubing back then. Explanation: "Only those who dare to eat and can eat are qualified to be my soldiers. My soldiers of Wang Jue must get used to fighting without logistics, otherwise they are useless!"

"Eh." Just listening to this, Yuan Shao felt nauseated in his heart. It's hard to imagine how Wang Jue and the others managed to eat corpses for several months in a row.

"My soldiers of Wang Jue must abandon the burden of benevolence, righteousness and morality. They must dare to eat and eat, must not be afraid, must endure the nausea caused by feces and urine, and must learn how to survive in a world where there is no food, no water, no weapons and equipment, and no support. Fight under the circumstances!"

"Therefore, not only must be able to eat and dare to eat, but also have the courage to try feces and absorb water from feces."

"Learn to use the bones of the enemy to make weapons, so that even if the weapon is damaged, you can have a new weapon in time to continue fighting!"

"Deception, intimidation, temptation, disguise and other means must be very skilled, and be able to control people's hearts."

"If you want to abandon all benevolence, righteousness and morality, you must not have the slightest sense of shame. You can only have one goal in your heart, and that is to follow me, Wang Jue, to win the battle. Apart from this goal, you must not have any distracting thoughts!"

"Be able to not be impulsive when being insulted by others, be calm when being appreciated by others, be indifferent when being threatened by others with your loved ones, and become a person without weaknesses."

"As long as there is one of the above that can't be done, then he is a waste! He is not worthy of being a soldier for me, Wang Jue!"

Listening to Wang Jue's arrogant words, Yuan Shao kept breaking out in cold sweat. According to Wang Jue's terrifying standard, Yuan Shao is a standard waste.

The same was true for Lu Bu and others. Although they were forced to follow Wang Jue to eat the corpse for several months, they still felt a little disgusted by the corpse and had not fully adapted to it.

According to Wang Jue's outrageous standard, everyone in this world is trash except him, Wang Jue.

In the end, Yuan Shao still rejected Wang Jue's suggestion to attack Guandu. After several times of prostitution and giving away 7 heads, Yuan Shao no longer dared to promiscuously.

In the end, a strange thing happened. Because of lack of food, Yuan Shao just wanted to go back to Yecheng to replenish food and grass, and didn't want to go to Guandu.

Cao Cao also refused to stick to Guandu because of lack of food, but left more than 300 people at Guandu to defend, and the less people consumed the less food.

However, Yuan Shao handed over Yanjin County, which had been captured not long ago, to Wang Jue for management, and appointed Wang Jue as the magistrate of Yanjin County. At the same time, after returning to Yecheng, he forced Emperor Liu Xie to order Wang Jue to be named the Marquis of Yanjin.

After the Battle of Guandu, Wang Jue was instantly promoted from a commoner without a title to a county marquis. This shocked many people, but after learning of Wang Jue's achievements, they were all convinced.

Since Yuan Shao went south, he lost one defeat after another, only Wang Jue's five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry won again and again, forming a stark contrast.

The final results of the First Battle of Guandu are as follows:

[Yuan Shao Camp

Troop strength: [-] lost

Lost Generals: Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan

Captive: Xun Yu

Lost city: none]

[Cao Cao Camp

Troop strength: increase by 1 (although more than [-] died, but a few thousand were captured, and Zhang He Gaolan surrendered directly with [-] Yuan troops, so an overall increase of [-]

Lost generals: Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu

Prisoners: Zhang He, Gao Lan (those who voluntarily surrendered)
Lost cities: Baima City, Yanjin City]

Yuan Shao gained land but lost people, Cao Cao lost land and kept people, and both sides claimed that they were the winners in the battle of Guandu.

Yuan Shao's reason was that he occupied Baima and Yanjin, which were originally owned by Cao Cao, so Yuan Shao won.

Cao Cao's reason is that his frontline strength was originally only 2, but now it has become 11, which is [-] more than before the start of the war. On the other hand, Yuan Shao's strength has changed from [-] to [-], so there is no need to fight. There is no doubt that Cao Cao won.

The result of the Battle of Guandu was beyond everyone's expectation.

The vast majority of people believed that Yuan Shao would win, and a small number of people thought that Cao Cao might win, but absolutely no one would have thought that each of them retreated and went home, and both sides declared that they had won the battle of Guandu.

Both the attacker and the defender say they have won, maybe this is a win-win situation!
