The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 8
The night was dark, and the surrounding area of ​​Wuchao was already silent, as if the mountains, forests and civil engineering had entered a dream.

Yuan Shang, Chun Yuqiong and the others climbed up to the sentry tower in the camp one by one, and looked into the distance by the moonlight, and saw a few miles to the south of Wuchao, a puff of smoke and dust was scattered across the deep and vast land, like a wind blowing away, He rushed towards his side at a fast speed.

If the horse urine just now made Chun Yuqiong sober by three points, then at this moment, this Wuchao idiot should be at least nine points sober.

Chunyu Qiong's face turned bright red, her teeth were chattering, her nostrils opened and closed suddenly, her breathing was buzzing and panting, no different from a bull in heat.

He slapped the wooden fence suddenly, and roared at Sui Yuanjin behind him: "This bold Cao bandit army, who didn't guard the camp in the middle of the night, dared to attack my Wuchao, how arrogant! This general swears! Destroy it! Pass it to my general, the whole army prepares its soldiers and horses, and goes out to meet the enemy!"

At the critical moment, Chunyu Qiong's performance was quite bloody, and he lived up to the glorious title of Hebei's famous general.

Sui Yuanjin heard that Fang was about to turn around to make arrangements, but Yuan Shang suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute, don't act rashly at this moment."

Chunyuqiong turned his head to look at Yuan Shang in astonishment, and said anxiously: "Third son, Cao Jun has already reached the gate of our Wuchao, what else is there to wait for! If we don't line up our troops, will we just watch them trample on Wuchao?" Is the food and fodder in the nest not enough?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "In terms of combat alone, the strength of Cao's army is much higher than that of Hebei soldiers, and the capture of Wuchao this time is of great importance. Cao Cao must have made a precise deployment, and the elite Cao army must have come to rob food For the elite in the game, this move can be described as a coup in this game of chess, in a head-on confrontation, I guess the odds of winning are very low."

Chunyu Qiong became anxious when he heard the words: "No matter how low the odds are, Cao Jun is coming after us! If we don't fight, maybe we can still run away, son, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Shang pondered with his eyes closed, his mind spinning rapidly, each idea flashed into his mind, and he immediately denied it completely.

Cao Cao is a hero in the world, and the ordinary methods may not work for him. If he wants to confuse and delay him, he may have to use some strong medicine.

After a while, Yuan Shang finally saw Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly opened, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

"Send the order, start immediately, burn the food! Burn our own food!"

"What?" Everyone at the scene couldn't help being shocked when they heard the words, as if they didn't hear what Yuan Shang was saying clearly.

From ancient times to the present, when the two armies are at war, the commanders who lead the three armies always think about how to burn other people's food and grass, cut off the other's food road, and set fire to their own food, which is really unheard of.

What's wrong with this third son?Think there is too much food at home, so you have nothing to do to set fire to your own food to play?Could it be that seeing Cao Jun coming, he gave up on himself and didn't even have the courage to resist?

Such a son is too useless, too prodigal!
Chunyuqiong scratched her head, and asked Yuan Shang cautiously: "Third Young Master, what did you just say? Can you say it again, I didn't hear it very clearly in the end."

"I said burning food! Burning our own food, only in this way, can we put Cao Cao in a trance, so that he can't figure out what we are doing, besides burning food and grass, black smoke, father's big tent in Guandu Only then will we know that Wuchao is in trouble, and we can speed up sending troops to rescue in the shortest time, which is much faster than sending fast horses and flying horses to notify."

When everyone heard that you looked at me and I looked at you, they all secretly doubted in their hearts. Could this kind of idea be considered a coup?
Chunyu Qiong looked at Yuan Shang hesitantly, after hesitating for a long while, he finally murmured: "But the third son, even if the food and grass were burned, the lord's reinforcements came sooner, but the food and grass were all burned. Have a bird? Without food, we will still not be able to defeat Cao Cao in the future."

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes, looked at Chunyuqiong sadly, stomped his feet and said: "General Chunyu, I think I really can't communicate with you. I asked you to burn the food, but I didn't let you burn all the food. I only need to burn a small part of it." Cangjiao, just let the black smoke rise. Don't you really want to burn all the food and fodder?"

Chunyu Qiong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he smiled, fully showing his shameless qualities: "Master, I'm not sober, my head is still a bit confused."

Guo Yuan frowned and said, "Third Young Master, even if the Lord knows the situation in Wuchao by burning food, how can Cao Jun resist the enemy?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said: "It's still the same sentence, frontal resistance is not the best strategy, I only have a one-word defense strategy."

"I don't know which word the young master said?"

"Mongolian!"

"Meng?" All the generals looked at me and I looked at you, feeling very puzzled.

*********************
What Yuan Shang said was not wrong. The cavalry that Cao Jun sent to attack Wuchao this time can indeed be regarded as the elite of Cao Jun's elite. The vanguard cavalry led by Cao Cao is the elite cavalry under Cao Cao's command across the Central Plains. .

Tiger and Leopard Ride!
And the vanguard general who led the tiger and leopard cavalry to come first is one of the few generals and fierce generals under Cao Cao's command.

One is Zhang Liao, who was hailed as the head of the five good generals by later generations, and the other is Xu Chu, the fierce general who commanded the Tiger Guards for Cao Cao and was known as the "tiger idiot" by the world.

Xu Chu, who is famous for his bravery and bravery, is the leader of the three armies. He always fights bravely and never backs down. This time when he attacked Wuchao at night, he took the lead and ranked first among all the troops. The tiger and leopard cavalry were also left far behind by him.

"Zhongkang! Don't be so impatient!"

While Xu Chu was rushing, he rode forward on a galloping horse. The lame horse blocked Xu Chu's way, but he saw that the person blocking the way was elegant and imposing, with a pair of slender eyes that were black and bright like stars, like a gentleman who had read a lot of poetry and books. Shenhua is introverted, if he is not wearing armor and holding a long-browed iron knife, no one would have thought that he is Zhang Liao, a famous general of Cao Wei's generation.

Xu Chu reined in his horse abruptly, looked at Zhang Liao who was blocking his way with dissatisfaction, and said in a naive voice, "Why are you stopping me?"

Zhang Liao smiled kindly, as if he was in a spring breeze: "Zhongkang, how can you be as impatient as you when you march into the army? Look at your drive, you have left all the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion far behind. When the Lord came, he had a strict order to order you and me not to take him." Be radical, don’t be too far away from his backup army, in case of accidents, it will be difficult for the two armies to respond to each other.”

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then his complexion changed, and he let out a heavy "hum", then raised his hand and patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse continued to move forward, but the speed was obviously much slower than before.

Zhang Liao smiled helplessly, and stepped forward to drive alongside Xu Chu, and said as he walked, "Zhongkang, Wuchao is ahead. When you arrive at Wuchao, you must not be impatient. You have to attack me on both sides. Divide the east and the west and rush in. Don't ask the others. , just burn food"

"Understood!" Xu Chu interrupted Zhang Liao's words rudely, and said dissatisfiedly: "You have said this no less than three or five times along the way, as if my brain is hard to remember, and my good ears are worn out by you. It's coming out of the cocoon!"

Zhang Liao has a very good temper, and he was not angry when he heard the words. He just smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you will forget. What happened tonight is related to the great cause of the lord. As long as there are no mistakes, what does it matter if you grind a few cocoons? At worst, I will look for it later. It’s enough for someone to help you heal.”

Xu Chu was discouraged when he heard the words, turned his head and remained silent. Talking to Zhang Liao was more tiring for him than fighting and killing people, and you will be speechless after a few words.

Seeing that Xu Chu turned his head away, Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, stroked his beard and turned his head to look in Wuchao's direction.

In just this glance, Zhang Liao's face suddenly changed.

Not far ahead, the Wuchao Camp, which was still quiet and quiet just now, suddenly burst into flames, black smoke billowed, and the red flames instantly lit up the entire night sky, which is very eye-catching!

"Wuchao. Is it on fire?" Zhang Liao said to himself in a little surprise.

Xu Chu also had a blank expression on his face, and asked strangely: "Could it be that the Lord sent an army to rob the camp before you and me?"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "No! We have fewer soldiers and horses than Yuan Shao, and the hijacking of Wuchao is of great importance. My lord, there is no reason to disperse the soldiers and horses like this. This move is not in line with the common sense of military strategists. It will not be released by our army!"

Xu Chu touched his head, thought for a moment, then laughed, and said proudly: "Damn it, it must be because the soldiers rebelled in the middle of the night and escaped? Yuan Jun's guard is really a waste."

"Water?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words: "The granary is heavy, and there is water. Yuan Junzhi is not good enough, and he will not do such a childish thing."

"Hi!" Xu Chu waved his hand fiercely, and said impatiently: "You and I have been guessing for a long time, is there another bird? Or hurry up and take a look, if it really is a bird's nest, just take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill." , it saves a lot of effort!"

After saying that, he saw Xu Chu's legs clamped suddenly, and regardless of Zhang Liao's dissuasion, he suddenly drove his horse towards Wuchao.

Zhang Liao yelled several times, but Xu Chu didn't turn his head back. In desperation, he had no choice but to whip his horsewhip, and galloped away immediately after him.
The battle of Wuchao between Yuan and Cao gradually kicked off.
