Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 296 The Cao family in Qiaoxian County is as tall as the sky!This is a group of bandits! [7000 characters ask for subscription monthly ticket]

The mountains and rivers trembled, and there were many shadows.

In the wilderness outside the south gate of Luyang County, two armies in different-colored armor were fighting in a scuffle.

The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of cursing, the sound of weapons clashing, and even the wailing and pain of soldiers on both sides who were injured or died in battle.

It's all endless.

The entire battlefield can be described as chaotic.

At every moment, people fell into pools of blood and were buried by flying dust.

But at the same time, more people went up.

And at the Chinese army camp located behind the city, the senior figures of the Jingzhou army headed by Liu Biao looked at the scene in front of them with surprised expressions.

And as the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao.

Now he is deeply in a state of confusion.

He is riding on a tall horse.

Stretching his neck, he looked around the messy battlefield left and right, his eyes were full of doubts and puzzles, some didn't understand what was going on right now.

What happened?

Did Yuan Shu take the wrong medicine, or his head was made of iron, why did he take the initiative to leave the city to fight?

Liu Biao still remembered that a few days ago, he made a high-level analysis in front of civil and military officials, and he said with certainty that Yuan Shu would never choose to leave the city.

In the event of Sun Jian's defeat, Yuan Shu would definitely rely on Luyang County and stick to it for two to three months, until he couldn't bear it anymore, and then ran away in despair.

It turned out that it was only a few days before and after.

A total of less than half the time.

Yuan Shu had already opened the gate of the southern city, commanding his troops to swarm out, fighting decisively and bravely with the Jingzhou army on his side.

Such an unreasonable move.

It made Liu Biao feel very headache.

It's not so fast to slap your face!
……

"Come on!"

"kill!!!"

There was another cry of killing.

Suddenly Liu Biao woke up from his thoughts.

When I looked up, I saw a large group of people swarming back and forth from the city gate.

I can't count how many people there are, but there is an endless stream of people coming forward one after another. If you think about it a little bit, you know that this is definitely a huge team.

This is the case.

Liu Biao couldn't help frowning.

He was keenly aware that something was not quite right. The scale of this war seemed to be constantly escalating, and the total amount of troops invested by both sides was also increasing.

What exactly is Yuan Shu trying to do?
He doesn't really intend to decide the outcome in one battle!
"Where is General Wen?"

With Liu Biao's greeting.

Wenpin, who was not far away from him, immediately rode his horse to come to him, and then clasped his hands and said: "The last general is here!"

Liu Biao raised his hand, and with the whip in his hand, drew half a circle in the direction of the battlefield.

Then he said in a low voice with a dignified expression: "This battle, Yuan Shu's army is constantly pouring out from the city, and the number of troops invested is surprisingly large."

"I suspect that Yuan Shu has long been prepared for today's battle, and his purpose is probably not just to test, this is very likely to be a big battle."

"So you take a group of people to the front, you don't need to join the battlefield, just observe and see what's going on on the battlefield and what Yuan Shu's purpose is."

Liu Biao's location, although the terrain is high.

But after all, there are many obstacles ahead, and it is difficult to see the specific situation clearly from the back to the front instead of looking down from the sky.

So someone needs to visit on the spot.

For the order of the owner.

Wenpin naturally took the order without hesitation.

Immediately, he took the people and cut into the side of the battlefield.

……

And after Wenpin left.

Liu Biao was holding the horsewhip with his right hand, while his left hand was caressing the whip unconsciously, his eyes were a little empty, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long while.

He turned his head and looked to the northeast of himself, hesitating and thinking for a while.

Only then did Liu Biao call another general beside him.

"If I remember correctly, I ordered a few days ago to arrange eyeliners around Cao Jun's camp. Have you done this?"

The general who was called immediately cupped his hands and said.

"Reporting to the Lord, on the day of your order, people have been arranged to watch day and night."

"However, I considered that our army may have to spend a long time with this city. The spies running back and forth between the two barracks will not only consume too much energy, but also be easy to be discovered."

"Therefore, it has been decided that people will be sent back to report once during the day and at night, and during the rest of the time, there will be important events to report."

Hearing this, Liu Biao nodded slightly.

After staring deeply for a while.

Just now he gave instructions to the general: "Cao Jun's side is not quite right, it's a bit too quiet, the fire at the south gate is loud, and there is no movement at the east gate, could it be that Yuan Shu just choked me to death? "

"You immediately send a team of cavalry over there to meet our eyeliner over there. I want to know what's going on with Cao Jun!"

Listen to what Liu Biao said solemnly.

The general did not dare to neglect.

He hurriedly took his leave and left, and hurriedly assigned a group of cavalry to go to the east gate battlefield.

…………

Liu Biao waited for about two quarters of an hour.

Wenpin, who was sent to the front by him, drove the horse and hurried back.

"My lord, things are indeed quite strange!"

"What's the specific situation, please tell me in detail."

Wenpin rode his horse to come to Liu Biao, and then explained to Liu Biao with a solemn expression.

"My lord, the last general led people around the entire battlefield, half a circle around the east and west sides, and found a high place on the top of the mountain, and looked down for a while."

"The general found out that the soldiers who came out of the city seemed to be fighting fiercely with our army, fighting bloody battles with each other, and fighting non-stop."

"But in fact, the overall position of the defenders in the city has been shifting to the east. The formation of our army's easternmost formation has been washed into pieces."

"At present, the eastern defense line has been weakened. If this continues, the eastern defense line will be breached within half an hour. At that time, the defenders in the city will be able to leave the encirclement created by our army unimpeded."

Liu Biao was shocked when he heard this.

This is completely different from what he thought!
He had discovered that something was wrong with the defenders in the city, but he just felt that Yuan Shu was so courageous that he wanted to take this opportunity to leave the city and fight his side.

However, the situation reported by Wenpin.

But it was telling him.

The purpose of the defenders in the city was to abandon the city and leave, hoping to open a road through chaotic warfare to ensure the smooth withdrawal of large troops across the board.

This was beyond Liu Biao's expectation.

When did Yuan Shu become so decisive?

Where I could guard for two or three months, now I don’t even guard for half a month, and I’m ready to run away after three days.

If he had been so decisive in the past, Nanyang County would have already fallen into his hands, right?
……

"My lord, Yuan Shu intends to abandon the city and flee. Please show me how we should deal with it now!"

Liu Biao pondered for a while.

When he was about to speak and give an order.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of horseshoes, and then a group of cavalry was seen stepping on the dust and galloping towards the position of the central army.

Jingzhou is extremely short of war horses.

Under Liu Biao's hands, cavalry is an absolute rarity. He doesn't even have an organized cavalry team.

All of them are teams that are responsible for high-speed movement, used to convey information, or test intelligence.

Therefore, when this team of cavalry came from a distance, Liu Biao immediately recognized it as his team.

Immediately raised his hand to Wenpin.

Signal it to wait for a while.

"Shut up!"

With the sound of reining in the horse, more than a dozen people turned over from the horse's back, but on the back of the leading war horse, two people fell off at the same time.

One was wearing cavalry armor, while the other was dressed in extremely light linen.

"My lord, something strange happened in Cao Jun's barracks!"

Dressed in linen, the man who belonged to the stalking team rushed to Liu Biao, bowed and saluted, and at the same time shouted hurriedly.

……

Something strange happened?
Hearing such words, Liu Biao's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"What's the matter, what happened, tell me quickly!"

He could hear the eagerness in his master's tone.

After swallowing dryly, the soldier spoke quickly and explained the situation.

"Early this morning, Cao's army suddenly lined up, and everyone in the army gathered together. After the military discipline was cleaned up, the troops were divided into two groups, and one of them went to the north gate."

"As for the road that stays at the east gate, it is ready for battle, and all the soldiers in the army are ready to fight."

"The villain is planning to make an extra trip to bring the news back, but the sound of fighting on the battlefield can be heard from the south gate where you are, General."

"The villain mistakenly thought that Cao Jun's mobilization of troops was also to fight the defenders in the city, so this matter is not considered an important military situation, so the villain did not set off immediately."

The soldier said a long list in one breath.

After Liu Biao extracted the key information, he was keenly aware of a word.

"Misunderstanding?"

"You mean to say that Cao Jun's mobilization of troops was not to fight the defenders in the city?!"

The soldier nodded hurriedly.

"My lord, my Lord, the villain is worried about being discovered, so he dare not get too close, and only dares to look around from a distance."

"However, what can be confirmed is that not long after the battle started on your side, the Cao army who stayed outside the east gate had already broken through the city gate and entered the city smoothly."

"In the camp outside the city, except for a very few soldiers left behind, there are not many soldiers left."

"At this moment, the villain realized that something was wrong, and immediately rushed all the way here, just in the middle of the road, I bumped into the cavalry team you sent."

……

"Lord!"

"Come on, help me, help the Lord off the horse, be careful not to fall!"

"Hurry up and invite the general Chinese doctor!"

Liu Biao's eyes darkened.

Almost fell off the horse.

If it wasn't for his left and right eyes and quick hands to support him, it might have caused chaos in the army.

even so.

It was crumbling, and the whole person's complexion was extremely ugly, which still made the generals and soldiers around them very nervous.

"Okay, I'm fine, no need to call a doctor!"

Liu Biao's face was tense, and he stopped drinking.

With the help of left and right, he stood up.

Then he turned his gaze again to the soldier who stood bowed aside with a look of fear on his face.

"You mean to say that Cao Jun broke through the city gate in a very short period of time, and tens of thousands of people followed the city gate and swarmed into the city."

"Are you sure they broke through the city gate?"

The soldier nodded first.

Then he hurriedly explained: "The east gate opened and Cao Jun entered the city. This is what the villain saw with his own eyes, but whether it was a breach or not, the villain can't really see it."

After getting confirmation again.

Liu Biao couldn't help closing his eyes.

There was a helpless sigh.

"Ugh!"

"What a Cao Mengde, what a Cao Zixiu, they are really outstanding people in the world."

"In vain, I, Liu Biao, call myself a hero. I think that I have everything in Jingzhou under my control, and I am still complacent in knowing Yuan Shu's thoughts."

"Unexpectedly, in the end, the real chess player, the real master is someone else, and I am just a pawn played by others in the palm of my hand!"

"It's sad, it's a pity!"

…………

By now.

How can Liu Biao not understand.

Cao Jun was ahead of them, successfully broke into the city, and began to search and transport supplies.

No matter what method Cao Jun used to earn the city gate, whether it was to break through forcibly, or to take advantage of the chaos.

Or whether Cao Jun knew or didn't know about today's melee in the south of the city.

No matter which of the above situations, it can't change the ending, that is, the Cao family entered the city first!

I worked hard and planned a lot, but in the end I made wedding clothes for others.

Is it bearable, what is unbearable?

of course.

In fact, strictly speaking, without the materials left by Yuan Shujun in Luyang County, it would not be a loss to Liu Biao.

After all, it has never been in his hands, so how can we talk about losing it?

The reason why he was so excited was that he was not resentful of being manipulated by Cao's father and son, as if he was manipulated like a puppet.

As the governor of a state, the lord of Jingzhou.

In the eyes of others, it turned out to be just a puppet. When Liu Biao thought of this, he couldn't calm down.

Han Song's words are still in my ears.

Cao's father and son really are not in the pond!
…………

As an early hero.

Liu Biao's ability to regulate emotions is still good.

After silently sighing for a while with a gloomy complexion.

After all, he cheered up.

While recovering, he told the generals on the left and right: "Yuan Shu gave up the food and supplies in the city in exchange for Cao Jun not having time to attend to the war."

"Right now, we are the only one fighting against Yuan Shu. With the strength of our army, even if there is a chance of winning, it will be a miserable victory."

"Since Cao Jun doesn't care about it, then we simply let go and send an order to make way for the east defense line to let Yuan Jun pass!"

"If they want to leave, let them go, the faster the better, after letting them go, there is no need to come over to ask me for instructions, and directly mobilize the three armies into the city!"

"Grab the time, maybe you can catch some loot before Cao's army retreats!"

Know that Cao Jun is already in the city.

After packing things in sacks like locusts.

Not to mention Liu Biao, the generals under him also had no intention of continuing to entangle with Yuan Shu.

So Liu Biao gave an order.

Everyone responded with a bang.

Each led a team of troops to the front line, while conveying the orders of the Chinese army, while taking over the teams on the battlefield, preparing for the time to enter the city.

……

Even if Liu Biao deliberately opened the channel.

It is simply not something that can be done in a short while to get Yuan Shu's soldiers, who number tens of thousands, to break through and evacuate.

The situation on the battlefield is too complicated.

Moreover, the battle area is not spacious, and the soldiers from both sides are very densely mixed, and even with orders from their respective superiors, it is easy to fire real fire.

Therefore, after quietly opening a hole in the defense line on the east side, the south side of the city was still in chaos for two hours.

But even so.

It has also been many times faster than normal time.

If it were a normal battle between the two sides, one side would try its best to break through and the other side would defend the line of defense. This breakout battle would probably last more than a day and a night.

Now it only takes less than two hours.

It can be said to be quite fast.

"Withdraw! Withdraw to the east!"

As sporadic trumpets sounded, apart from those lying on the ground and those who hadn't had time to keep up with the large army, there were not a few Yuan soldiers in sight on the entire battlefield.

Walked very clean.

As for the Jingzhou army, under Liu Biao's order, they had no interest in Yuan Shu's troops who broke through and left.

Instead, he went straight to the city without looking back.

However, after they entered the city and quickly found the granary, money bank and other places in the city.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

…………

There is not a grain of grain left, and there is no five baht coin left. These are the two most important resource concentration points.

It's like being gnawed by a mouse or licked by a bear, and you can't find anything of value.

The ground was smoother than a mirror.

This directly made Liu Biao and others look stupid.

Cao Jun moved too fast!
Are you from bandits?

Anyway, leave some for us.

After finally breaking through Yuan Shu's stronghold, except for the victory itself, he didn't get anything that could replenish his consumption.

Who can bear this?

And it's clearly not over yet.

After Liu Biao and his group left from the granary and money bank, they came to the streets.

They were shocked again.

The entire city of Luyang County has been evacuated, and even the common people have not seen a single person here, as if they were packed away.

The main generals of the Jingzhou Army came from the south of the city to the north of the city, and penetrated the entire city.

It was like sleepwalking along the way.

I still don't want to understand how the Cao family can search so cleanly, how can they be so proficient.

How long have you been preparing for today?

"The Cao family in Qiao County is as tall as the sky!"

Among the crowd, I don't know who said a word with emotion, and immediately got a unanimous response from everyone.

It is to be expected.

After today.

This sentence is probably going to spread in Jingzhou.

…………

"My lord, we now..."

Both Wenpin and Huang Zu looked at Liu Biao, waiting for him to make the next arrangement.

And Liu Biao was outside the North City Gate.

Shaking and watching in the northeast direction for a while.

Then he gritted his teeth, pointed with the whip, and shouted angrily.

"Chase!"

"Today, no matter what, I have to catch up with Cao Jun. I want to ask Cao Mengde and Cao Zixiu personally how they could do such a clean thing!"

If you grab it, you can't get it back.

Liu Biao also only hoped that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

And the army is under his mobilization.

Immediately chase all the way to the northeast.

After marching for ten miles at high speed, they were blocked by a cavalry team head-on.

"Emissary Liu of Jingzhou, my general has ordered me to wait here for a long time!"

……

The person blocking the way was wearing a white robe and silver armor, holding a bright silver gun in his hand, and a solid-colored war horse under his seat.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, he is handsome and unrestrained.

The whole person looks quite graceful.

It was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong!
He was ordered by Cao Ang to intercept Liu Biao here, and at the same time dissuade Liu Biao from chasing him.

And after hearing Zhao Yun's shout.

Liu Biao immediately steered his horse to the front and responded loudly, "Little General Wuna, where is your general now? Why did you leave without saying anything?"

"Now that the city has just been broken, Yuan Shuye has been expelled from Nanyang, so it's time to reward the three armies. I also plan to have a three-day banquet, and Brother Meng De and the others will not return until they are drunk."

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye!"

What Liu Biao said was high-sounding.

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing.

Then he bowed his hands to Liu Biao and replied, "Mr. Cao is the shepherd of Yanzhou, and my general is also the lord of Yuzhou. He is always busy with various official duties."

"It took too long to go south to conquer Yuan Shu. If we don't go back, we are afraid that the state will be unstable."

"Thus, although the envoy has some good intentions, Mr. Cao and my general can only ask me to thank you on their behalf. I hope that the envoy will forgive me, and don't blame me!"

We all know this is bullshit.

But no one can stand up and criticize.

Aren't you all sounding grand?

……

And Zhao Yun after a pass output.

He pointed at Luyang County with the spear in his hand.

Then he shouted loudly: "My general has something to say, according to the original agreement, our army in Luyang City will not be affected at all, and the complete jade will be returned to Zhao to Nanyang County."

"But at the same time, all the gains from the conquest in this battle belong to everyone. Do you still remember?"

Speak the covenant in front of so many people.

Liu Biao couldn't help but deny it.

Compared with losing these materials, it is still a crime of treachery, which is even worse.

So after a short thought.

Liu Biao could only suppress his unhappiness, pinched his nose and replied, "How can I forget such a covenant, I, Liu Biao, am a trustworthy person, and the little general is too worried."

"Since brother Mengde and nephew Zixiuxian are busy with government affairs, it's inconvenient for me to keep them. Today's wine is reserved for later drinking!"

Liu Biao's quick answer.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yun's face.

"The envoy's words, I will pass on to the general, and I will send you thousands of miles, and I will have to say goodbye."

"Your envoy, please come back!"

A word fell.

Zhao Yun immediately rode his horse and raised his whip.

Leading the cavalry team he led, they stepped on the dust and chased after the large troops.

Watching the white figure gradually going away and quickly disappearing from sight, Liu Biao stared quietly for a while.

Then cheer up.

Turning around, he smiled to the left and right: "Yuan Shu has been expelled from Nanyang County. From today onwards, Jingzhou will only have the voice of our family!"

"Everyone, follow me back to the city to celebrate!"

………………

At this moment.

Ten miles away from Zhao Yun's interception.

Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son stopped their horses, discussing the next plan around a spread out map.

"Father, this time our army has got all the remnants of Luyang City. There are quite a lot of things, including young and strong women and children. I'm afraid they can't go with the army."

"In my opinion, it's better to send a team to send these things to Yanzhou, or to the area of ​​Chenguo in Yuzhou, and then we'll talk about it when it's settled."

Hear this.

Cao Cao looked up and saw that walking with the army, there were carts full of goods.

There are dozens of cars connected front and back, and the end is invisible. Every cart is piled high and full.

One can imagine how many things are installed.

Besides.

There are also many civilians with their families, who either voluntarily or "semi-voluntarily" travel with the army. These are also very important resources.

Now that they have been brought out, it is impossible to allow them to be wasted, and they must be properly arranged.

So what Cao Ang said makes sense.

But Cao Cao thought for a while.

But he did not agree with Cao Ang's arrangement.

Instead, he clicked on the location of Yanzhou on the map with his hand, and then said to Cao Ang.

"Zixiu, after all, Yanzhou is the foundation of the Cao family. In the past, father and son, there was always one person who stayed in Yanzhou, who could take charge of the overall situation at any time and provoke the leader."

"Now that Yuan Shu has not been attacked, you and I have been away for a long time. This is not conducive to the stability and stability of Yanzhou, so someone must go back to take charge of the overall situation."

"And now that you are the first shepherd of Yuzhou, you still have a lot of things to do, so it's inconvenient to return to Dongjun."

"So my father thinks that I will bring these things and these people back to Yanzhou, and you will continue to lead the troops and walk through the territory of Yuzhou."

"what do you think?"

……

Cao Ang just pondered for a while.

I have to admit it.

Father was right.

At present, Yanzhou is still the foundation after all, not as important as other territories acquired later, and must be taken seriously.

Therefore, it is a good way for my father to lead his troops back this time and continue to sit in the base camp.

It's just that when Cao Ang thought that the words he had explained to Zhao Yun earlier actually coincided with his real arrangement, he was speechless.

"Father's words are justified, then you will lead your troops back to Yanzhou, and my son will continue to take the rest of the troops and set off from Nanyang County."

"Cross Yingchuan County, Chen Country, and Liang Country all the way, and then enter the border of Pei Country, to show off the might of our army, and at the same time, to affirm the hearts of the people in these counties!"

Cao Ang did not forget.

Pei Guo has not yet been fully grasped.

Even the midlands are a bit shaky.

I have to go there to show off my muscles, show off my hard power, and let those people know who will be the king of Yuzhou in the future, and whose words should be taken as their will.

……

But here we go.

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing.

"I was thinking of going back to Qiao County with you, father, and we are considered to be returning home with honor and clothes."

"It's a pity, father, that it's difficult for you to make this trip. It's still quite a pity and a pity!"

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing out loud at what he said.

Can't help but pat Cao Ang on the shoulder.

The tone is full of approval and gratification.

"My son has a heart, so what is there to be dissatisfied with as a father? As for returning home with honor and clothes, there will be a lot of opportunities to go back as a father in the future!"

"As long as you are here, the glory of our Cao family will never be broken. The Cao family in Qiao County has always been a famous family in the world. Don't regret it, and don't have to regret it!"
