Han family achievements

Chapter 339
  As the saying goes, what you are afraid of is what comes. When they heard the shouts of the ordering soldiers outside, everyone changed their colors and swarmed out of the big tent.

At the same time, they also saw Yuan Shao striding forward with fast steps.

A group of people followed them and when they came to a high point, they saw Lu Bu riding a horse, standing majestically in front of the formation, with a neat square formation behind him, with a total of ten thousand people!

This is no ordinary fighter, this is obviously about to start a war!
  Yuan Shao observed quietly for a while, then suddenly asked Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others: "Is there something wrong with my strategy?"

The dozen or so people were naturally speechless. With the combat power Lu Bu showed yesterday, who would dare to go up and fight him?
  Cao Cao looked deserted and kept making calculations in his mind.

No matter what Yuan Shao's plan was, he had to delay for a few more days. What he has to do now is to preserve his strength as much as possible, even the strength of the coalition forces, and wait for the opportunity.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not object.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Xuan, Liu Yao and others were very confused about the sudden strategy of "lubing the enemy deeper", but they could not find enough refutation points.

Seeing the ferocious Lu Bu setting up his formation, he suddenly had no other thoughts and could only agree with Yuan Shao's strategy.

Seeing no one objected, Yuan Shao held his sword, turned around and strode away.

The others immediately whispered to each other, still full of doubts and uneasiness about this strategy of 'lubing the enemy deeper'.

Liu Bei thought about it again and again, but came to Cao Cao's side, left side by side with him, and whispered: "General Cao, what can you see?"

Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "Duke Xuande also noticed something was wrong?"

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shao's back not far away, and said with focused eyes: "General Hou's behavior from yesterday to today is too direct, giving people the impression that he is trying to kill someone with a dagger."

Cao Cao pretended to mutter for a while, his eyes were burning, and he said in a cryptic tone: "Mr. Xuande, if necessary, please come with me."

Liu Bei understood, and looked at Yuan Shao again, and saw that he had already mounted his horse, and galloped away with a group of counselors and generals, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Cao Cao shook his head secretly, said nothing, quickly left Liu Bei, and met Guo Jia who was waiting not far away.

Guo Jia was slightly curious about Liu Bei and observed quietly.

Liu Bei met Liu Guan and Zhang, and the three of them combined their forces to catch up with Yuan Shao. Passing by Cao Cao, they loudly shouted: "General Cao, be prepared and wait in front."

In full view of everyone, Cao Cao raised his hand in response. When they walked away, he suddenly turned gloomy and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Yuan Shao takes action!"

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said, "It's quick and direct, and the conspiracy is probably very ruthless."

Cao Cao held his sword tightly. Seeing the rapid movement of the army, he turned towards the direction of Pinghu Pass. His eyes were cold and he said: "The morale of the old thief Dong has been greatly boosted. Yuan Shao is about to withdraw his troops again... Fengxiao, do we need to change our plan?" ?”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's too late. It will take three days to notify Captain Huangfu."

Cao Cao suddenly looked determined, took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, then we will act according to the plan! Yuan Shao wants to retreat thirty miles, but I don't want to do what he wants. Let's go south!"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The general has a good plan, let's station ourselves by the lake, no matter what Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo's plans are, after three days, the situation will change!"

That's what Cao Cao thought. He called a group of his men over, made careful arrangements, rode on horseback, and led his [-] troops to the south.

This is completely different from Yuan Shao who retreated to the west, and it is extremely eye-catching and eye-catching.

"General Cao,"

Before Cao Jun had gone far, Sun Ce galloped over on horseback, raised his hand and said: "The general will obey orders before the battle."

Cao Cao just glanced at him and said with a smile: "With Bo Fu's help, Cao Cao is like a tiger with added wings, walking side by side with me."

"Don't dare." Sun Ce put down his hand and came to the side behind Cao Cao.

And his eight thousand soldiers and horses quickly merged with Cao Cao's army.

Guo Jia drank wine and quietly observed Sun Ce.

This person has always been an "obscure" person. He sits in the corner during various meetings, does not speak, does not express his position, and wanders on the edge.

‘This is a tiger that knows how to hide. 'Based on Sun Ce's past, Guo Jia made a judgment in his mind and was wary at the same time.

Cao Cao and Sun Ce did not follow Yuan Shao's order to cut off the rear. Instead, they retreated directly to the south. This turned Zhuge Xuan, Liu Yao, Liu Bei and other middle routes into the rear route.

Yuan Shao was riding in front, his face was livid with anger, and he shouted: "Send me a military order to order Cao Cao to come immediately to break up the rear. If you dare to disobey orders, military law will be enforced!"

Ju Shou, Director Zhang, Gao Gan and others behind Yuan Shao also looked unkind. Cao Cao acted without authorization and slapped Yuan Shao in the face, ruining their plan even more!

When the messenger went to deliver the order, Jushou glanced at Xu You and others, took a step forward, and said vaguely: "General, has there been any change?"

Yuan Shao understood what he heard and looked behind him. The army was meandering for an unknown length of time, and it was all filled with human heads.

"No need!" Yuan Shao said with murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Cao Cao disobeyed in public. There is nothing to argue with. Whatever I do is justified!"

Xu You knew that Yuan Shao was hiding something from him, but when he heard what he said, he was suddenly frightened.

Yuan Shao, are you going to take action against Cao Cao?

Jushou felt the murderous intent in Yuan Shao's words, responded calmly, and stepped back.

Liu Bei, Liu Yao, Zhuge Xuan, Zang Hong and others who followed behind had no idea what was going on ahead. Seeing that Cao Cao did not follow him, Liu Bei had no choice but to ask for orders to take his two brothers to break up the rear.

And Lu Bu, who was in formation at Pinghu Pass, was waiting for the coalition forces, but he got the news that the coalition forces were retreating.

He was stunned again and again, then laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and his like are nothing more than that. Gao Shun, assemble the army and follow me in pursuit!"

Gao Shun was a little uneasy and stepped forward and said, "My lord, the army of more than [-] has retreated like this. Is there any conspiracy?"

Lu Bu was riding a tall horse with a proud look on his face and laughed loudly: "Even if there is a trap, who can stop me, Lu Fengxian?"

Before he finished speaking, he held a big halberd, hit his horse and galloped towards Yuan Shao.

There were not many soldiers and horses, only more than two thousand cavalry, but under the leadership of Lu Bu, they had the grand momentum of thousands of horses galloping.

"General, Lu Bu is catching up!" Yang Xiu, who had been observing, reported to Cao Cao as soon as he got the news.

Cao Cao and others stopped their horses and came to a high place to look at it from a distance.

Guo Jia seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet while drinking. He staggered a few times and was caught by Cao Cao before he regained his balance.

"Thank you, General,"

Guo Jia took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "What Yuan Shao's plot is, we will find out soon."

Cao Cao nodded and suddenly said to Cao Ang beside him: "You prepare three thousand people and are on standby at any time."

Cao Ang was a treasure in Cao Cao's army. Although he was quite brave, he rarely participated in dangerous battles. Hearing his father's words, he said with great joy: "I will obey my order!"

Then, he excitedly went to order troops.

Cao Cao stared for a moment and then raised his head again.

"Pinghu Pass...is it too quiet?" Cao Cao frowned, filled with doubts.

Guo Jia also looked suspicious and said: "There is something really wrong. The general's strategy of leaving separately is the right one." Cao Cao's expression gradually hardened, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger.

Yuan Shao on the other side didn't panic when he learned that Lu Bu was catching up. He just ordered to speed up.

Yuan Shao was well prepared, and the army moved very quickly, but Liu Yao, Liu Bei and others were already at the rear, so no matter how fast they increased, it was almost visible to the naked eye that they gradually distanced themselves from Yuan Shao's army.

"kill!"

Suddenly, thunderous shouts of killing erupted in the mountains and forests on both sides, followed by a hail of arrows that filled the sky.

Before the soldiers and horses from all walks of life could react, the mountains and forests shook, and countless Dong troops swarmed out.

"trap!"

Liu Bei, Liu Yao and others were shocked and their faces were full of panic.

It was originally Yuan Shao who set up an ambush. Why did Dong Zhuo have troops to ambush here so early?

Not allowing them to think too much, Dong Jun came over from the left and right sides and cut off the so-called "cut off" troops of Liu Bei, Liu Yao, Zhuge Xuan and others from Yuan Shao's army.

Under this situation, there was no way to prevent effective resistance, not to mention that Lu Bu was chasing after him.

"Brother, what should I do?" Zhang Fei said in a low voice while riding a horse and walking back and forth in front of Liu Bei.

Guan Yu glanced at the direction of Yuan Shao's army and saw that they were moving faster. He said coldly: "Brother, it's probably a conspiracy between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo to plot against us!"

Liu Bei couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao wanted to plot against them, so he said anxiously: "Second brother, third brother, hurry up, lead troops to break out, yes, send someone to invite General Cao!"

Zhang Fei was trying his best to control his troops, and when he heard the sound, he cursed angrily: "Brother, haven't you seen it yet? Then Yuan Shao plotted against us, and I think Cao Cao is also an accomplice!"

Liu Bei couldn't think clearly for a while, but the distance was not too far away, so he said anxiously: "Kill out first!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei protected Liu Bei and charged desperately, not only to resist Dong Zhuo's army, but also to avoid their own chaotic troops.

Liu Yao, Zhuge Xuan and others were not good at leading troops, and now they were in such chaos that no one could be seen.

"kill!"

Not long after, Lu Bu came with his cavalry. Like arrows, they were as sharp as arrows. They smashed the [-] to [-] coalition troops into pieces. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without any resistance.

"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, please leave and fight me again!"

Lu Bu, who was tall, noticed the three brothers struggling to break through the crowd. He roared, struck his horse and rushed over.

Liu Bei had to be careful and take care of his own people, but Lu Bu didn't care and went on a rampage. Countless souls died under the big halberd, and there were very few survivors under the horse's hooves.

When Liu Guanzhang saw Lu Bu coming to kill him, he used the strength of nine oxen and two tigers to finally kill him.

The three brothers took the remaining soldiers and fled westward.

Lu Bu abandoned his large army and led a dozen cavalrymen in hot pursuit.

Yuan Shao's army retreated far enough, and then they organized their troops and looked back.

Xu You stood next to Yuan Shao, his head lowered, his hands clasped together and hidden in his sleeves, his face frightened and his hands trembling.

He has seen through Yuan Shao's plan - it is too vicious!
  This is to give four or five armies to Dong Zhuo for nothing!

This poisonous plan had many benefits. The most obvious one was that it saved the food and fodder for the [-] to [-]-strong army. Secondly, it also weakened the imperial court's military strength.

Now Yuan Shao's opponent is Cao Cao!

‘Yuan Shao, don’t you have any intention to suppress Dong? They have a hatred of genocide! ’

Xu You's heart was cold and his eyes flickered constantly.

He was shocked by Yuan Shao's vicious plan!
  Xu You glanced over with his peripheral vision and saw Ju Shou, Director Zhang, Gao Gan, Zhang He and others with little emotional change. He knew in his heart that these people were Yuan Shao's confidants, and he was an outsider after all!
  Frightened, Xu You had the idea of ​​​​escape for the first time.

Yuan Shao stood on a high place, looking at the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who refused to 'submit', and they were all visibly slaughtered by Dong Zhuo. His expression was indifferent, and he silently estimated the time.

"General, what should Cao Cao do?" Director Zhang quietly came behind Yuan Shao and whispered.

Cao Cao did not obey Yuan Shao's orders, but instead led his army south. This broke through Yuan Shao's plan and escaped to heaven.

Cao Cao has an army of [-], which should not be underestimated!

Yuan Shao turned to look in the direction of Cao Cao, sneered again and again, and said: "They say that Cao Cao is loyal and courageous, but now that the imperial troops are ambushed, Cao Cao holds back his troops, which shows that he has different intentions. Commander Zhang, immediately write to the imperial court to impeach this traitor!" "

Director Zhang understood instantly and said loudly: "I will accept your order!"

Xu You quietly raised his head, stared at Yuan Shao's side face, and thought to himself: Cao Cao wants to save him, but aren't he afraid that you will just take over him?

Thinking of this, Xu You got excited and trembled in his heart: 'Did Yuan Shao originally plan for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others to merge with Dong Zhuo, and then destroy the imperial soldiers and horses together with Dong Zhuo? ’

Xu You has always been alert, but he was still dizzy at the moment.

Yuan Shao's move was too calculated!

On the other side, Cao Cao was also looking at the battlefield. When he saw this scene, his eyes suddenly opened angrily. The sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he strode forward and shouted: "You dare to listen to the traitor, everyone will mount up with me and fight with me." Let’s kill the thieves together!”

Guo Jia calmly took a sip of wine and looked at Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan calmly.

Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan immediately understood. One hugged Cao Cao's waist from behind, and the other blocked Cao Cao's sword in front.

Cao Hong said anxiously: "General, this is Yuan Shao's trap, don't go!"

Xia Houyuan's voice became louder and said: "General, I suspect that this is a conspiracy between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo to destroy the general. You must not go at this time!"

Cao Cao was furious and roared: "Get out of my way! Do you want me to sit back and watch tens of thousands of imperial troops being slaughtered? Get out of my way!"

At this time, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others also reacted and surrounded Cao Cao to persuade him.

Cao Cao couldn't move, his eyes were ferocious, and he was so angry that he looked up to the sky and roared: "Yuan Shao is a traitor, Cao Cao and you are sworn in!"

噗

As soon as the words fell, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Cao Cao fainted.

"General! General!"

The crowd became anxious and lifted Cao Cao up one after another, shouting at the doctors.

There was chaos in front of Cao Cao's formation for a while, and then he was suppressed by Xiahou Dun. A crowd of people gathered outside the tent, worried.

In the big tent, Guo Jia sat beside Cao Cao's bed, shook his head helplessly and said, "Yuan Shao's plan is really sinister."

Cao Cao lay on the bed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were as cold as the abyss, and said: "Fengxiao, what do you think Yuan Shao will do next?"
