Demon of the Three Kingdoms

In Yuan Shao's barracks, Yuan Shao's personal soldiers were helping Yuan Shao to bandage his wounds. The fire on Cangting Trail caused Yuan Shao to lose a lot of troops, and he was also burned.

"Yeah!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, trying not to make a sound.

"My lord? Do you want to stop for a while before bandaging?" Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao and asked.

"No need!" Yuan Shao shook his head. Now Yuan Shao doesn't care about his pain at all. What he cares about is whether Yuan Xi succeeds in attacking Cao Cao. If he succeeds, then the battle is still a draw. If he lost completely, it would be very difficult for Yuan Shao to defeat Cao Cao.

"Report! My lord, the Second Young Master is back!" While Yuan Shao was being treated, Yuan Xi came back.

"Quick pass Xianyi comes in!"

"promise!"

"The child sees the father!"

"Xianyi, please hurry up, how about the surprise attack on Cao Jun?"

"Reporting to father, the child lived up to his father's entrustment and burned all Cao Jun's rations!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shao heard it, patted hard, and shouted, Yuan Xi succeeded!

"My lord, be careful!" The soldier held a bandage in his hand and stood up with Yuan Shao.

"Father? Are you injured?" Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shao with concern.

"Oh? It doesn't matter. Xian Yi burned Cao Jun's rations and made a great contribution. For my father, I must reward Xian Yi properly!"

"The child dare not take the credit, all this is due to his father's usual teaching."

"Good! Xianyi is not proud of his achievements, and he is worthy of his father's usual teachings." Yuan Shao stroked his beard and looked at his son who had always kept a low profile with satisfaction.

"Report! My lord, General Wang Ling is back."

"Oh? Please come in, General Wang!" Yuan Shao heard that Wang Ling had returned.Immediately recruit him as in the army tent.

"My lord! I'm sorry, my lord!" Wang Ling cried and knelt in front of Yuan Shao's desk as soon as he entered the army tent.

"Yanyun? Why?" Yuan Shao was stunned.As soon as Wang Ling entered the army tent, he began to cry.What is this for?

"My lord, I'm sorry, the eldest son and the third son are both killed!" Wang Ling cried to Yuan Shao crying.

"What!" Yuan Shao stared at Wang Ling incredulously.

"General Wang, what did you say?" Guo Tu was also taken aback for a moment. What did Wang Ling mean just now that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are dead?

"My lord, the last general was ordered by the second son and the master to lead the troops to follow the two sons to pursue Cao Cao, because our troops are cavalry. The marching speed is not as fast as the two sons' cavalry. The eldest son ordered the last general to wait for the lord's army, and the two sons pursued first. Cao Cao, don’t want to…”

"Both Xiansi and Xianfu are dead?"

"My lord!" Guo Tu stepped forward to assist the unstable Yuan Shao.

"Father, my condolences, the elder brother and the third younger brother need father to avenge their enmity!"

"You all step back, the general wants to rest!" Yuan Shao sat down with Guo Tu's support, and waved his hand to indicate that they could leave.

"Baby (subordinate) leave!" The three of them bowed their hands and retreated.

the second day.In Cao Jun's barracks, Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia early in the morning.Xun You and Lu Rui came to the military tent.

"My subordinates see you, my lord!" The three of them saluted immediately after seeing Cao Cao.

"You are all here?"

"Look at the information from Li Yang!" Cao Cao threw the bamboo slips to the three of them.

"Yes!" After the three of them circulated the bamboo slips, they all showed expressions of disbelief. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang died at the hands of Cao Jun.

"Father Zhong, this is?"

"Bufan, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are recognized by their father, but of course the two of them fought against their father and have already escaped from our army's encirclement, so how can they be beheaded?"

"Father Zhong means that someone used the name of our army to eradicate Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang?"

"My lord, if this is the case, then the one who eradicates Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang must be Yuan Xi!" Guo Jia cupped his hands, his eyes showing anxiety. Yuan Shao was even more difficult to deal with.

"Feng Xiao, you have met Yuan Xi, and I also think that Yuan Xi is the most talented of the three sons in the early days, but do you think this matter is a little weird?" Cao Cao shot at him with sharp eyes. The three of them glanced at each other.

Lu Rui's heart fluctuated, has history changed?Yuan Xi actually planned to kill Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang?This Yuan Xi looks like a hero?

"My lord, my subordinates think that the surprise attack on our army's rations and the killing of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are all part of a series of schemes. Someone wants to use our army to remove obstacles for Yuan Xi to inherit Yuan Shao's position!" After reading the information, Xun You said: out of their own judgment.

"Well, what Gongda said is reasonable, and this is what worries me the most." Cao Cao looked at Xun You worriedly. It is really scary for such a person to include both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!

"My lord, are you worried that there will be someone behind Yuan Xi giving advice?"

"Exactly!"

"My lord, there is no need to worry. The so-called victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It is not a bad thing that our army's food and grass were raided today, and it does not mean that our army's resourcefulness is inferior to the superiors behind Yuan Xi!"

"Oh? What does Gongda mean...?"

"My lord, originally our army set up many military camps along the banks of the Yellow River. It was a dangerous move to bluff. This place is Hebei, not the hinterland of our army. There is a high chance of the army rations being raided. It is not necessarily true that the people behind Yuan Xi are superhuman in strategy. "

"Well, what Gongda said makes sense."

"What's more, my lord, someone planned to get rid of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and it didn't mean that our army was completely defeated. Our army killed tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's army on the Cangting trail. Worry!"

Cao Cao nodded after listening to Xun You's words.

After hearing this, Lu Rui was also relieved. Hebei Duojunjie came by himself. Although history has been changed, this is also an interesting place. A world that does not know the historical process is an interesting world!

"Extraordinary?"

"The child is here!"

"How much rations are left in our army?"

"Reporting to Father Zhong, there is not much ration in the army, and it is estimated that it will be used for more than a month." Although Yuan Shao gave Cao Cao the place to stockpile rations, there is still more than a month's rations with the army in the base camp, and there is no way to retreat. questionable.

"My lord, do you want to return to Xudu?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao tentatively.

"That's right, Feng Xiao, our army's rations are running out now. If we had defended Liyang to the core, our army wouldn't be able to accomplish much. Why don't we retreat to Xudu, take a short rest, and cross the Hebei Expedition in the coming year!"

"My lord is wise!" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xun You agreed. The best situation now is to retreat. Tens of thousands of Yuan Shao have already been killed.

"Okay, Gongda, pass on my military order, the army will rest in place for three days, and the squadron will return to Xudu after three days!"

"Yes, my lord!"

In the spring of 203 A.D., Cao Cao severely defeated Yuan Shao's main force and Liyang, but was attacked by Yuan Xi because of the military rations, so he had no choice but to return to Xudu to rest and prepare for battle. (To be continued..)

ps: Thank you for your great support, haha, Xianxia is really not my rhythm, it is better to come back and write history! !
