Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

A raging fire broke out in the granary in Cao’s army camp.

Yuan Shao had no time to give orders to rescue them, and was unable to do so.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, Yuan Shao's face seemed pale as a trace of blood.

"Aman, you... are treacherous..."

Yuan Shao spat out a large mouthful of blood, realizing that Cao Cao was willing to burn so much food and grass, not only because Cao Cao could not take the food and grass with him in a hurry.

More importantly, Cao Cao wanted to burn it openly in front of countless Yuan army soldiers.

Cao's army has no food left.

Even if Yuan's army defeated Cao's army and even continued to pursue Cao's army, Cao's army had neither food nor fodder to hand over to Yuan's army to seize.

The morale that Yuan Shao had managed to arouse through various means was almost unstoppable.

Yuan Shao's energy and spirit also disappeared along with it.

This burning completely burned away the confidence that Yuan Shao had been building up for a while.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou!"

Yuan Shao, who was riding on a white horse seized from the Baima Yicong, cried out urgently as he was about to fall.

"Lord!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at Yuan Shao's condition with worry on their faces.

But at this point, Yuan Shao realized that he had no way out.

The food and grass situation seemed to be disclosed to the entire army, but in fact Yuan Shao exaggerated it by twice.

It can only last until the day after tomorrow at most, then the food and grass will be completely exhausted.

If the main force of Cao's army cannot be found before that time, Yuan's army will be like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Quick, look for traces of Cao Cao's retreat. No matter what, we must find Cao's army as soon as possible. The life and death of our army depends on you two!"

Yuan Shao stared at Yan Liang and Wen Chou with his bloodshot eyes wide open and gave orders.

This is undoubtedly Yuan Shao's last hope.

As long as we can find and defeat the main force of Cao's army before the food and grass are exhausted, there is still a possibility of turning the tide.

"Feng Ji, Guo Tu, you two should follow Yan Liang and Wen Chou as advisors, and look for Cao Cao's whereabouts. Don't fall for his delaying tactics..."

"All military affairs will be temporarily managed by Ju Su..."

After Yuan Shao managed to finish saying this, he could no longer hold on and fell off his horse.

Fortunately, Chunyu Qiong, who was protecting Yuan Shao, was quick-witted and supported Yuan Shao in time, and then helped the unconscious Yuan Shao to the ground to rest. The civil and military officials who witnessed this scene felt as if the sky had fallen, and everyone looked worried.

Especially Yan Liang and Wen Chou, these two burly men could not stop crying and wanted to protect Yuan Shao to find a doctor to treat his illness.

In the end, Shen Pei cooperated with Ju Shou to take the initiative to stabilize the situation. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot to relieve the fatigue after several days of fierce attacks, and urged Yan Liang and Wen Chou to immediately lead the cavalry to pursue the whereabouts of Cao's army.

After Ju Su, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and other counselors calmed down, they made a judgment similar to Yuan Shao's.

Cao Cao had no horse, so even if he ran all night without sleep, he would not be able to go far.

At this moment, Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led their cavalry to pursue, and they should be able to find the trace of Cao's army soon, and then bite Cao's army, and then use heavy troops to encircle and kill the enemy on the plain south of Jie Bridge where there is no dangerous place to defend.

And...hope!
At this critical moment of life and death, many of Yuan Shao's advisers made a rare unanimous judgment and worked together to stabilize the morale of Yuan's army.

However, this is a glimmer of hope.

As Yan Liang quickly followed the traces of Cao's retreat, he found a large Cao camp with a lot of fortifications about 30 miles away from Jie Bridge, and his hope disappeared. Overnight, Cao Cao could not create a camp that was almost armed to the teeth.

There is only one answer.

That means Cao Cao probably started building another camp in the rear five or six days in advance.

When Yuan Shao, who had not slept for several days, woke up after being in a coma for a day and a night, the first thing he did was to ask Yuan Tan who was guarding beside him whether he had found the main force of Cao's army.

When Yuan Tan said with difficulty that Cao Cao still had a camp, and the generals had been attacking for a day without stopping, but the Cao camp had not yet been broken.

Yuan Shao stared blankly upwards for more than ten breaths, and was so frightened that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who were guarding the bed, called out to him repeatedly but received no response.

The next moment, Yuan Shao, who had been pale, suddenly sat up. His face turned rosy in an instant, and he spoke in a loud and majestic voice.

"Bring me my seal and paper and pen."

Yuan Tan hurriedly prepared all the necessary items for Yuan Shao, while Yuan Shao quickly stood up and knelt at the desk beside the couch. He wrote a document with great dignity and then stamped it with the seal.

Then, Yuan Shao handed the document with wet ink on it to Yuan Xi who was standing beside him and said in a deep voice.

"My life is coming to an end, and these tens of thousands of strong soldiers will all be lost here, but I still have wise ministers and brave generals to use, and the territory is still thousands of miles away. It is possible that I will be able to fight Aman next year."

"You should listen to good advice and employ brave generals. The Yuan family's cause is entrusted to you."

Yuan Xi took the document in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

Yuan Tan, the eldest son, was full of jealousy and confusion, and even looked at Yuan Xi with a murderous look.

However, when Yuan Shao looked over, Yuan Tan quickly restrained his expression and cried to Yuan Shao.

"Father entrusted the entire family business to my second brother. Could it be that he thought I was not worthy of the Yuan family name?"

Yuan Shao ignored Yuan Tan's crying, and even seemed not to have heard him at all. He handed his badge to Yuan Tan and spoke in a deep voice.

"Tan'er, you can use my badge to mobilize my personal guards to quickly escort you south to Liu Bei. You only need to tell Liu Bei that your father once drew his sword and pointed it at the thief Dong, and that he also worked with him to fight against Dong. He will definitely not make things difficult for you..."

Yuan Tan listened with his head down and found that Yuan Shao's voice was getting weaker. He looked up and found that Yuan Shao's head was lowered and there was no sound at all.

This scene stunned Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who had come here to show their filial piety at first.

Yuan Shao, who was in his prime, died unexpectedly...

The next moment, instead of tears flowing from Yuan Tan's eyes, he suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch the document from Yuan Xi's hand.

Yuan Xi's reaction was also very quick. He stepped back to avoid the attack and frowned.

"What do you want, brother?"

"Hand over the documents, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about our brotherhood," Yuan Tan said sternly.

"Our father's body is still warm, do you want to kill your brothers?" Yuan Xi asked in shock.

"Bring the paperwork!"

Yuan Tan stared at the document and did not even give Yuan Xi a chance to talk nonsense. He drew his sword and stabbed at Yuan Xi.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi had no time to draw his sword and almost crawled out of the tent, shouting for help.

Yuan Tan, who rushed out with a sword in hand, wanted to continue chasing Yuan Xi, but he was met with the confused and puzzled eyes of a large number of guards standing outside the tent.

The next moment, Yuan Tan had an idea, raised the badge in his hand and shouted.

"All guards, listen up. This rebellious brother Yuan Xi has angered my father to death. Capture him immediately. If anyone resists, kill him without mercy!" (End of this chapter)
