Han family achievements

Chapter 346 Arrival

"Report!"

When Xun You was thinking a lot, suddenly, a reconnaissance horse galloped over, landed and shouted to Zhao Yun: "Report to the general, Dong Zhuo has withdrawn from Pinghu Pass!"

Before Zhao Yun had time to react, Xun You actually jumped out of the carriage, ran over with no regard for his manners, and said hurriedly: "What did you say, Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops? When did he withdraw his troops, and why?"

The scout cavalry turned to Xun You and said: "Return and shoot. General Yang Wei has been storming Pinghu Pass for several days. Dong Zhuo suddenly withdrew his troops at noon. The reason is unknown for the time being. The villains are still investigating."

Liu Yu came over with the rabbit cage in his arms and said in a childish voice: "Is there any news from the Imperial City Mansion?"

Zhao Yun turned sideways and said to Liu Yu: "Your Highness, our itinerary is strictly confidential, and the Imperial City Palace does not know about it."

Liu Yu nodded vaguely and said, "Now go to Pinghu Pass and call Cao Cao and Yuan Shao over. Your Highness wants to see them."

Zhao Yun listened and turned to look at Xun You.

On the surface, the imperial envoy this time is the distinguished and distinguished Second Highness, but in fact, it is mainly his right servant She Xun You.

Xun You pondered for a moment and said: "What the Second Highness said makes sense. Based on His Highness's order, I sent a message to Jingzhou Liu Biao, asking him to raise 30,000 troops and 200,000 grain and grass to go north. There must be no mistakes."

Liu Yu's eyes were clear and transparent. He raised his head and said to Xun You, "Xun Pushe, will Liu Biao come?"

Xun You looked at Liu Yu, looked at his innocent little face, and explained seriously: "Wei Chen is not asking Liu Biao to really obey his orders, but to prove his disloyalty and alienate his office and the Jiangdong family. , in the future the imperial court will attack him, it will be justified and there will be many people who will respond."

Liu Yu blinked and said 'I don't understand' written all over his face.

Just as Xun You was about to explain further, Liu Yu turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, let's go."

Zhao Yun responded and ordered to continue moving forward.

Xun You sighed inwardly, thinking about how to win the position of 'Prince's Master'.

On the other side, Cao Cao, who was supposed to take the opportunity to attack Pinghu Pass, encountered big trouble and had to change his formation.

Because Yuan Shao also knew about it, he gathered his troops and arrived at Cao Cao's flank.

Yuan Shao has more troops than Cao Cao. Once he attacks from the flank, Cao Cao will face a huge crisis!

Not far outside Pinghu Pass, Cao Cao was wearing black armor and staring at the north with cold eyes.

Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and a large group of people had different expressions and thoughts.

In the silence for who knows how long, he said calmly: "Mr. Xuande, what do you think Yuan Shao wants to do?"

Liu Bei looked hesitant and said, "It's just for preparation, or to gain credit."

Cao Cao ignored Liu Bei's perfunctory words and considered various possibilities in his mind. For a while, he said, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"

The speed of action on the Imperial City's side was faster than Cao Cao expected, and Dong Zhuo's decisive withdrawal exceeded Cao Cao's expectations. Therefore, the sudden change in the situation caught Cao Cao off guard, and his previous response methods seemed insufficient.

Guo Jia drank the stronger and stronger medicinal wine. He felt that his body was heavy but his mind was very clear. He smiled and said: "General, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Pinghu Pass. They can take it in half a day at most. As long as the general hides a Yuan Shao would not dare to act rashly against an unknown number of ambushes. The credit for Pinghu Pass must go to the general. Once Pinghu Pass is captured, the general can pass through the pass and send people to stay behind while driving straight in to pursue Dong Zhuo. "

Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others were thoughtful.

Guo Jia's strategy is brilliant, but Yuan Shao is not a vegetarian and will not wait and watch Cao Cao win such a great achievement, let alone let Cao Cao defeat Dong Zhuo and occupy Yuzhou.

Cao Cao had no doubts about Guo Jia, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Sun Ce, ordered you to lead 10,000 troops, immediately send troops to Pinghu Pass, and win it at any cost!"

"Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, I order you to lead ten thousand troops each and ambush in the dense forest ahead. There is no need for cover. You can hide in it openly."

"Cao Hong, Le Jin, I order you two to lead ten thousand troops to support Sun Ce at any time!"

"Gong Xuande, take all the troops and horses and join me to confront Yuan Shao!"

"The last general takes orders!" Sun Ce, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and others raised their hands without hesitation and responded in a deep voice.

Liu Bei also raised his hand and agreed to Cao Cao's order.

Everyone quickly led the troops and acted according to their orders.

Soon, there were no outsiders around Cao Cao. He turned to Guo Jia with a sullen face and said, "Fengxiao, I still feel uneasy in my heart."

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said: "Yuan Shao has ulterior motives, and the general has to be on guard. Dong Zhuo is not an easy person. He will withdraw his troops in a hurry, so he will not fail to take precautions. You need to be careful."

This is what Cao Cao thought, and he stopped hiding it and said, "Fengxiao, do you think I should deal with Yuan Shao first, or continue to pursue Dong Zhuo?"

Guo Jia's expression moved slightly, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao had already planned to kill Yuan Shao first.

At the same time, it shows that in Cao Cao's heart, Yuan Shao is more dangerous than Dong Zhuo!

Guo Jia was silent for a while and said: "General, don't forget, the imperial envoy will be arriving soon."

Cao Cao looked as usual and said, "One more thing. I have something in my hand that was gifted by His Majesty."

Not only was Guo Jia not surprised, but he smiled and said: "General, have you thought about the consequences of doing this? If you die before your achievements are accomplished, it will be a great sorrow for the world."

Cao Cao stopped talking and looked at Guo Jia.   Guo Jia is calm, smiling, and calm, just like normal.

But Cao Cao frowned, always feeling that something was wrong with Guo Jia. These words were not like what Guo Jia should say on weekdays.

However, Cao Cao did not go into details. He was helpless and said with an iron look on his face: "Forget it, the situation is like this, first destroy Dong Zhuo, and then go back and deal with Yuan Shao! As long as Yuan Shao is destroyed, the Southern Xiaoxiao has nothing to worry about!"

Guo Jia drank medicinal wine and looked at the sky in the distance.

Cao Cao is nothing less than confident, optimistic, and mentally strong, which are important conditions for anyone to achieve great things.

In Guo Jia's view, in today's troubled times, Cao Cao must be the most important person in fighting the chaos. Looking at the government and the public, he is even the only one!

However, he, Guo Jia, may not be able to survive the time when Cao Cao conquers the world and achieves great success!

"Father!"

Cao Ang rushed over quickly, not bothering to pick up his helmet even after he dropped it. He ran to Cao Cao, suppressing his breath and whispered: "Father, the imperial envoy has arrived, and I have sent an order for you and Yuan Shao to go to see him."

Hearing the word 'visit', Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it really King Chenliu?"

Cao Ang still respected Guo Jia. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "Commander, no, it was His Highness the Second Highness and his right servant who shot Xun You, escorted by General Zhao Yun."

Needless to say, the special status of His Majesty the Second Highness Liu Yu, the right servant She Xun You and the Huben lieutenant general Zhao Yun are the closest people to His Majesty today!

The arrival of these three people at the same time shows that the court attaches great importance to the matter of challenging Dong.

Even, to the point where it is second only to the imperial commander’s personal expedition!

Cao Cao looked solemn and waited for Guo Jia's analysis.

"go with!"

Guo Jia put down the wine pot and said to Cao Cao very seriously: "And we must go immediately. After meeting His Highness the Second Highness and Xun Pushe, we must obey everything and do not violate anything. Moreover, we must break through Pinghu Pass as soon as possible and kill Pei." County, fight Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged, and he said tentatively: "Then, what should we do if Xun Pushe has evil intentions?"

In the "unanimous voice" between the government and the public against Cao Cao, Xun You, who also served as the official Cao Shangshu, played a huge role overtly and covertly, and was almost everyone's well-known mastermind behind Cao Cao's overthrow.

Now that Dong Zhuo has withdrawn his troops, it is easy to capture Pinghu Pass. Would Xun You easily allow Cao Cao to capture such a great achievement without intervening?

When Cao Ang heard his father's words, he suddenly looked worried and angry and said: "I will accompany my father!"

"no need to worry!"

Guo Jia took a sip of wine, smiled confidently, and said: "General, if you think about it carefully, does your Majesty really not know the relationship between Xun Pushe and the general? Why did you send Xun Pushe here? And although Xun Pushe is the right servant, , is the leader of the Yingchuan Party, but he has no experience in leading troops. His Highness is still young, and General Zhao Zhonglang has little qualifications, so..."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened and he answered: "Then, this battle is decided by me!"

Because besides Cao Cao, the only one who is qualified is Yuan Shao!

The imperial court will definitely not hand over military power to Yuan Shao!

Therefore, His Royal Highness and Xun Pushe are imperial envoys in name, but in fact, they are here to support and help Cao Cao!

After Cao Cao figured this out, he got on his horse and said, "Fengxiao, you stay here for now while I go to see His Highness."

Guo Jia hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Cao Cao's horse rope, and said, "General, there is one more thing you need to be careful about."

Cao Cao, who was about to leave, stopped and said, "What's the matter?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "I predict that His Highness will not only summon the general, but perhaps Yuan Shao will also go. At this time, you must not make any move towards Yuan Shao, and you must use all your strength to appease him."

The corners of Cao Cao's face twitched, and anger surged in his heart. He was suppressed in an instant and said: "I know."

Guo Jia was still a little worried and told Cao Ang: "When necessary, remind the general that the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Cao Ang agreed and led a dozen soldiers to pursue Cao Cao.

Directly north of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and a group of staff and generals were stunned and speechless as they watched Cao Cao's generals clearly ambush.

Cao Cao's actions clearly told Yuan Shao - I am ambushing you. At the location of the ambush, the number of soldiers and horses was clearly visible.

The more this happened, the more Yuan Shao was unsure of Cao Cao's true intentions, worried about fraud, and hesitated to make a decision.

"General, the imperial envoy has sent a message, and the general is ordered to go to the audience immediately." Director Zhang caught up from behind, his tone was anxious.

The sudden appearance of the imperial envoy and the unexpected summons made Director Zhang very uneasy.

Not only him, but Yuan Shao, Ju Shou, Xu You, Zhang He and others were also surprised and confused.

The imperial envoy who came was very extraordinary. Not only did he spare their inspections, but he also silently killed many reconnaissance teams.

Yuan Shao was calm and collected, and subconsciously raised his head and said, "Is that Liu Xie?"

Director Zhang said: "No, it was His Highness Liu Yu and his right servant who shot Xun You, and Zhao Zilong escorted him with two thousand forbidden troops."

Two thousand forbidden troops?

This number instantly aroused strong reactions from many people, and they secretly looked at each other with twinkling eyes.
