Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 370
Guandu, Cao Jun camp.

"My lord, an urgent report from Xuchang!"

Cao Cao was pacing back and forth under the tent, hesitating whether to lead the army to Wuchao to rob food in person, when he could not make up his mind, Cheng Yu suddenly rushed in with a serious expression, as if something important had happened.

"Xuchang urgent report?"

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What happened in Xuchang?"

Cheng Yuning said in a loud voice: "Gongtai rushed to report at eight hundred miles. Zhao Yun, the general under Luo Zheng's command, sent [-] Sichuan troops out of Wuguan to attack Nanyang. Wancheng will fall within ten days, and Xuchang is in danger!"

"what?"

Cao Cao was taken aback, "There is such a thing?"

Cheng Yu nodded and replied, "It's absolutely true!"

Cao Cao's face became extremely ugly, and he remained silent for a long time.

Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "One hundred thousand Sichuan troops have come out in full force. Luo Zheng has spared no expense to decide the foundation of the lord. The situation in Xuchang is already in dire straits. Please, lord, make a decisive battle and defeat Yuan Shao's army as soon as possible. If it's too late, the event will be over!"

"That's it!"

Cao Cao was also a very decisive person, and immediately said: "Quickly call all the generals to discuss the matter."

"As ordered!"

Cheng Yu agreed and ran out immediately.

Hulao Pass, Xiliang Army Camp.

"How long will it take to send troops?"

Luo Zheng paced up and down under the tent irritably, and stopped to ask Jia Xu after walking for a while.

Jia Xu replied: "It will take half a month to send troops."

Luo Zheng suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and prepare, try to hurry up!"

Jia Xu said helplessly: "My lord, it is not a day's work to transport the luggage and military equipment. This means that it is transported by the navy, which is much faster than going by land. Moreover, the materials under the Lord's rule are abundant, and all kinds of luggage and military equipment are in reserve. If it can be dispatched urgently, if it is replaced by other princes and throw away all the supplies and armaments, it will take a year or so to prepare."

"Hey!"

Luo Zheng slammed the knot, and said: "Cao A can't hide it, this general is really uneasy!"

After a pause, he asked again, "How is the cavalry resting?"

Jia Xu said: "The horses and horse materials have been dispatched in place, but some weapons and armor are missing. The Military Weapons Department has rushed to make them. It will be transported to the army in seven or eight days. In ten days at most, [-] cavalry can go out."

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound, took a few steps, and asked: "How is the road repaired?"

Jia Xu said: "General Gao Shun is leading the army to clear it up, and it will be done in three days."

Luo Zheng just looked relaxed, "That's good."

Guandu, Yuan Shao camp.

"My lord, urgent report from Wuchao!"

Yuan Shao was summoning his confidantes for a civil and military discussion, when Guo Tu suddenly rushed in.

"Hmm, Wuchao?"

Yuan Shao was taken aback, and said sharply, "What happened to Wuchao?"

Guo Tuji said: "General Chun Yuqiong ordered [-] miles to rush to report. Cao Cao personally led [-] elite soldiers to attack Wuchao and wanted to burn our army's food and grass. My lord, please send troops to rescue quickly, otherwise the big thing will be over! "

Yuan Shao was puzzled and said: "How did Cao Aman know that our army's food and grass are stationed in Wuchao?"

Ju Shou said, "Xu You must have told you this!"

Yuan Shao became angry for a moment, his face was livid, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Xu You, it's really unreasonable!"

The judge was secretly happy, Xu Youke really gave him a face!

Earlier, he ordered people to copy Xu You's family. Although Yuan Shao didn't say anything, the judge could tell that Yuan Shao was somewhat unhappy. Now that Xu You defected to Cao Cao, he even sold Yuan Shao by the way.

Looking at Yuan Shao's appearance, one can tell how much he hates Xu You now.

That being the case, Yuan Shao shouldn't feel unhappy if he ordered someone to copy Xu You's house!

Military Adviser Tian Feng said: "My lord, Wuchao's grain and grass are of great importance, so we should quickly send heavy troops to rescue them."

Zhang Yun also persuaded: "What the military adviser said is very true, Wu Chao must be rescued."

Yuan Shao said disapprovingly: "Wuchao has [-] troops, and Chunyu Qiong is also a veteran of hundreds of battles. What can Cao Ahmao do with only a few thousand troops? Could it be that Chunyuqiong can't stop Cao Ahmao with thousands of troops?"

"This……"

Tian Feng was dumbfounded, feeling powerless.

Ju Shou said: "My lord, Wuchao's gain or loss is of great importance, so we must save it!"

"This……"

Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously, so he looked at Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others, and said, "What do you think?"

Feng Ji observed Yuan Shao's intentions and said, "I agree with my lord. Wuchao is guarded by [-] elite soldiers of General Chunyu Qiong. Cao Cao may not be able to succeed even if he personally picks up the elite cavalry. And since Cao Cao personally Leading fine cavalry to attack Wuchao, the defense of Guandu camp is bound to be empty, so it is better to take this opportunity to storm Cao Jun's camp. Cao Jun's camp is tight, and he is bound to ask Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao is afraid that the camp will be lost. A siege can be solved without a fight, and this siege of Wei will save Zhao!"

The judge also said: "This plan is very clever. My lord should punish Cao Jun's camp with heavy troops."

Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others also nodded in agreement, but Xun Chen remained silent.

"good!"

Yuan Shao said: "Zhang He, Gao Lan listen to the order!"

"The end is here!"

Generals Zhang He and Gao Lan took a step forward and stood side by side in front of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shaodao: "Lead your own troops and horses to attack Cao Jun's camp. Don't give Cao Jun a chance to breathe. You must break through Cao's camp before Cao Cao's army breaks through Wuchao, and force Cao Jun to return to the army to save themselves!"

"As ordered!"

The two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan took the command and strode out of the tent.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou looked at each other, both looked sad, and shook their heads at the same time.

Xuchang.

"Mr. Chen Gong, it's not good!"

A small official hurriedly rushed into the inner hall, and said to Chen Gong with a panicked expression: "The Xiliang army is here."

"So fast?"

Chen Gong's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Go, go and have a look!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the inner hall quickly, the little official wiped his sweat, and hurriedly followed out.

As soon as I got outside the door, I heard the sound of killing from the south. The street was deserted and deserted, and there was no one there. Teams of soldiers kept coming back to patrol, and the people who got the news had already hid in their homes and dared not go out.

When Chen Gong hurried to the south gate, he saw Cao Zhen on the top of the city, wearing iron armor, looking down.

"Mr. Chen Gong!"

Seeing Chen Gong climbed to the top of the wall, Cao Zhen hurriedly turned around to salute.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite."

Chen Gong waved his hands, rushed to the battlements in a few steps, and looked down.

Just to the south of Xuchang, densely packed military camps for tens of miles, it is extremely spectacular.At this time, the sun had just risen, horns blared in the distant military camp, and the drums shook the sky. Groups of soldiers marched out of the camp, and the former army had already arrived at the city of Xuchang.

A general asked: "Should we go out of the city to make a surprise attack and catch the Xiliang army by surprise?"

"no!"

Cao Zhen said decisively: "Zhao Yun is also a veteran in the battlefield, so how can he be unprepared? Look at the Xiliang front army, there are [-] archers in the rear. If our army goes out of the city to make a surprise attack, not only will we not be able to defeat the Xiliang front army, On the contrary, it is possible to be entangled by the Xiliang army, and once it gets into a melee, it is very likely that the Xiliang army will take advantage of the situation and take Xuchang, so how can we play lightly on the enemy."

Chen Gong also said happily: "Young Master's words are very true, our army should only defend to the death, we must not go to battle rashly, lest we be taken advantage of by the Xiliang army."

The deputy general showed embarrassment and quickly retreated.
