Chapter 357 Yuan Zhao (Twelve)
One month later

Chenliu County

Chenliu County

Yuan Shao captured Chenliu, which was empty of defenses, as a temporary command post, with Guandu to the west and Wuchao to the north
"Report! Report to the General! Wuchao has been attacked!" The scouts came to report the latest information.

"Well, step back." Yuan Shao said lightly, and then sneered: "Cao Aman, you still want to repeat the same trick. I won't make the same mistake a second time!"

Immediately, Yuan Shao asked his son Yuan Tan to bring [-] cavalry to quickly support Wuchao, and must destroy Cao Cao who dared to attack Wuchao for the second time.

a few hours later

"Duke Ming, Yuan Shao really fell for the trick. He thought we would set fire to Wuchao for the second time. He has dispatched all the main force stationed in Chenliu County to Wuchao for support." The new counselor Jia Xu laughed, and then proposed a poisonous plan: "Now that Chenliu is empty, it is better to concentrate all our forces to attack Chenliu. As long as Yuan Shao can be captured or killed alive, then no matter how many troops Yuan Shao has, it will be in vain."

Jia Xu thought that with the lessons learned from last time, it would be very difficult to set fire to Wuchao for the second time, because Yuan Shao was already wary of Wuchao, so he came up with a strategy [Tune the tiger away from the mountain], pretending to set fire to Wuchao, When Yuan Shao sent troops to help Wuchao, the main force of Cao Cao's army suddenly turned around and went south. Instead of attacking Wuchao, they attacked Chenliu with all their strength.

"Wen He's plan is very clever!" Cao Cao liked the new counselor very much, and this Jia Xu was also a top-notch counselor like Xun Yu.

Immediately, Cao Cao issued a military order: "Advance at full speed, surprise Chen Liu!"

……

a few hours later

Chen Liu
"Duke Ming, retreat quickly!"

"Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops suddenly came, and we only have 2000 people. It is impossible to resist. If we don't leave, it will be too late!"

Yuan Shao's counselors, Shenpei and others, were all urging Yuan Shao to run away quickly and not stay in Chenliu to die.

"Cao Ah! You are so vicious!" Yuan Shao's face was livid, his hands clenched into fists, and finally he had no choice but to give up on Chen Liu, and fled towards Guandu in the west with two thousand cavalry.

……

a moment later

Chen Liu
"Yuan Shao ran away, it's a pity." Xia Houyuan looked at the mat that Yuan Shao sat on before, on which Yuan Shao's body temperature was still preserved, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"Ming Gong, if you go back to burn Wuchao at this time, you will surely succeed!" Jia Xu continued to propose a poisonous plan, and explained: "Yuan Tan didn't see us in Wuchao, so he will definitely return to Chenliu. He found Yuan Shao After fleeing to Guandu, we naturally had to go to Guandu together. At that time, we had almost reached Wuchao. Without the support of Yuan Tan's [-] cavalry, Wuchao's defense was much weaker. It will be very difficult for Tan to support Wuchao again. Yuan Tan is probably still on his way to Guandu, so as long as the soldiers try their best like last time, they will be able to capture Wuchao and burn Yuan Shao's food and grass again. Then Yuan Shao can only retreat."

Jia Xu's strategy is to mobilize the enemy to create a time difference, and use this time difference to attack Yuan Jun's vital point - Wuchao. (Equivalent to the low-profile version of Sidu Chishui)

Jia Xu is worthy of being a top-notch strategist. As soon as his plan came out, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "I have Wenhe, so why worry about the world being uncertain?"

Although Xun Yu was lost, but now that Jia Xu was added, Cao Cao's yearning for Xun Yu was slightly relieved.

"However, we can't go directly to attack Wuchao from the closer north gate, we have to go out from the farther west gate, so Yuan Tan will mistakenly think that we are chasing and killing Yuan Shao." Jia Xu added road.

……

an hour later
Chen Liu
"What? My father has escaped... Xishou went to Guandu?"

Yuan Tan, who didn't find Cao Jun in Wuchao, returned to Chenliu in a hurry, only to learn from the local people that his father Yuan Shao had left from the west gate, but the ordinary people didn't know where he went.

In addition, there is another news, that is, after a group of Cao Jun captured Chenliu, they also left Chenliu from the west gate, but they did not know where they went. After all, this was news from Cao Jun's high-level officials. Know what you see.

But Yuan Tan guessed in his heart: Guandu is to the west of Chenliu, so my father must have gone to Guandu, and Cao Jun also left the city through the west gate, so he must have gone after my father. No, my father is in danger!
Yuan Tan felt that the situation was urgent, so he hurried out of the city from the west gate with [-] cavalry, and went all the way west to support Yuan Shao who was "besieged".

……

After a few more hours

black nest
"kill!"

Tens of thousands of Cao troops, led by Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, stormed forward.

"Damn it, didn't Cao Jun leave? Why did he suddenly come back?" Qu Yi panicked when he was suddenly attacked.

Before, Cao Cao came to Wuchao once with a large army, the purpose was to "tune the tiger away from the mountain" and lure Yuan Shao's main force to support Wuchao. After that, Cao Cao failed to catch Yuan Shao in Chenliu, so he simply came back to Wuchao with "Returning the Carbine" .

The Wuchao defenders thought that if Cao Jun left, he would definitely not come back in vain, so he relaxed his vigilance, so that he was caught off guard by Cao Cao's hand [returning the carbine].

The last time Cao Cao captured Wuchao with only 5000 men, this time Cao Cao led tens of thousands of people, even if the opponent was Qu Yi, he couldn't resist, so he could only delay time, waiting for Yuan Shao to send reinforcements to support Wuchao, and then Yuan Shao's reinforcements Cooperate with the Wuchao defenders to come to a center to bloom, and anti-surround Cao Cao who attacked Wuchao.

This is why Yuan Shao is so relieved of Wuchao, because according to normal circumstances, if Cao Cao dares to attack Wuchao, he will be blossomed by Yuan Shao.

But the problem is that the situation is no longer normal. Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan have already taken the main force to Guandu, and it is difficult to rush to help Wuchao for a while.

"Quick! Go to Chenliu and ask Duke Ming to send reinforcements to support Wuchao!" Qu Yi gave ten scouts this order. The reason why he sent ten scouts was because he was worried that one of them would be intercepted and killed by Cao Jun suddenly.

Qu Yi still didn't know that Chen Liu's Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan had already gone to Guandu, and they were still waiting for Chen Liu's Yuan Shao to send reinforcements to cooperate with him in playing the "Center Blossom" tactic to completely wipe out Cao Cao in Wuchao.

……

a few hours later

When the scouts arrived in Chenliu, they found that there was no sign of Yuan Shao here at all. They learned from the local people that Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan had already left through the west gate, but ordinary people didn't know where the Yuan family and his son were going.

The scouts turned pale with fright, they didn't know what to do, so they could only hurry back to Wuchao and convey this important news to Qu Yi.

……

a few hours later

The scouts returned to Wuchao.

"How many reinforcements does Duke Ming plan to send?" Qu Yi asked excitedly. He had already conceived how to encircle Cao Cao in his mind.

"General, General, Duke Ming is not in Chenliu." The scout replied hesitantly.

"Well, then... um? What did you say?! Did you explain that you are not in Chenliu?!" Qu Yi was shocked, how could this be happening, Yuan Shao was in Chenliu as agreed, and when reinforcements are needed at a critical moment, you Where the hell did he go?

The scouts have already lost a lot of time this time, causing Wuchao's defense line to almost fail.

"Foolish lord! Faint lord!" Qu Yi scolded Yuan Shao for being stupid, and lost the chain at a critical moment.
