Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221 Lu Bu is not as good as me

Zhang Liao changed horses again, and saluted Zhang Xiu, "Thank you, General Zhang!"

Zhang Xiu smiled and waved his hands, "It's nothing to do with a little effort." It's not easy for the two generals to surrender.

Cao Hong and Guan Yu outflanked Yuan's army, and Yuan's army had no way to retreat. Those who were not killed surrendered, and Cao Cao received more than [-] surrendered troops.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou lived up to their reputations. Song Xian and Cheng Lian were damaged, and Yu Jin, Liu Yan, and Zhang Liao almost died. Fortunately, they were eliminated early, otherwise it would be a serious problem for our army." Cao Cao said with lingering fear.

"Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are brave, they are just a bunch of people. It's a pity that there are such generals, but Yuan Shao can't use them, so he ruined his life. Nothing compares to the lord's strategizing..." Zhang Liao said.

Cao Cao waved his hand modestly, "With the loss of two generals, Yuan Shao must be extremely vicious, and the army will arrive soon. Send an order to rectify the troops and return to Guandu!"

"My lord, General Yan Liang was killed by Cao Cao." Yan Liang's lieutenant, Ma Yan, crawled up to Yuan Shao.

"Ah? What's going on?" Yuan Shao stood up.

"General Yan Liang beheaded Cao Cao's subordinate Song Xian, and was about to capture the White Horse. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's attack on Yanjin was a fake, but the surprise attack on the White Horse was true. General Yan Liang was caught off guard and was killed by Cao Cao's men. It would be very dirty. Sneak attack in front of the army formation, poor General Yan Liang was stabbed under his horse before he even got out of the sword."

"Do you know who that person is?"

"I've found out clearly, the general's name is Guan Yu, and he is Liu Bei's younger brother."

"Why did the brother of the big-eared thief vote for Cao Cao? He is as virtuous as the big-eared thief. It's a pity that I am a general." Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, Ju Shou interjected: "My lord, it's not good! General Wen Chou is in danger, please My lord immediately ordered to send troops to support, and reminded Wen Chou to be careful."

"It makes sense, come..."

"Report, my lord, General Wen Chou, in order to avenge General Yan Liang, regained the white horse, encountered an ambush by Cao Cao, and General Wen Chou died in battle." Someone came to report.

"Ah!" Yuan Shao kicked Ma Yan and then Tan Ma. "Cao Aman! Kill my favorite general, I am at odds with you."

Ju Shou held Tan Ma back and asked, "Then what is Cao Jun doing?"

"Cao Jun has withdrawn from Baima and Yanjin, and retreated to Guandu for defense." Tanma reported.

"What's the situation with Yuan Tan?" Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu.

"Return to the lord. Cao Cao sent Taishan prefect Zang Ba to send troops to Zichuan, and Zhou Cang sent Langya prefect Pei Yuanshao to send troops to occupy Chengyang County. They may attack Donglai and Beihai at any time. Now the battle in Qingzhou is tight, and the eldest son is unable to send troops to Yanzhou."

"What about the high-ranking officers?"

"Mr. Gao Gan sent troops to Hedong, but was blocked by Zhong Yao."

"Send the order, the army will march immediately, gather at Yangwu, and attack Guandu after gathering!" It seems that the son and nephew can't count on it, so it's up to me, Yuan Shao ordered.The movement of the [-] troops is no joke, and with the addition of food and supplies, it will take more than half a month to cross the Yellow River.

"My lord, you can't. Now our army should stay in Yanjin and divide our troops to attack Guandu and other places. If we win, it will not be too late to send more troops to Guandu. If there is a loss, the soldiers can retreat safely." Ju Shou hurriedly stopped.

Yuan Shao's face darkened, "The army is about to leave, why did you make such an ominous statement, my army is several times larger than Cao Cao's, how can there be any losses. Our army is divided, so that Cao Cao can take advantage of it. Can crush Cao Jun to death. Don't disturb our army's morale, and don't retreat."

Jushou sighed, walked out of the camp in a daze, and when he returned to his own camp, he was too worried and couldn't afford to get sick.Yuan Shao hated Jushou's rudeness, and handed over the remaining troops of Jushou to Guo Tu.Jushou's spare ships left in Yanjin were requisitioned by Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong, but Jushou was powerless to stop them.

Cao Jun occupied favorable terrain in Guandu early and set up a long and strong defense line. All the population north of the defense line moved south, the trees were cut down, the trunk was made into a fence and the horses were repelled, and the twigs and leaves were used as firewood.

In May of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao entered Yangwu, waiting for the gathering of soldiers and horses, and waiting for news from Runan.

When Cao Cao returned to Guandu, Xun You and others came to meet him. "Congratulations to the lord for winning the flag and destroying Yuan Shao's spirit. Now our army's morale is high and Guandu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is enough to stop Yuan Shao."

"You officers and men have worked hard to achieve this feat, but don't take it lightly. Yuan Shao will be more careful with his troops in the future. Our army is still at a disadvantage." Cao Cao sighed and killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. At best, he cut off Yuan Shao's finger. What about the army?

"How is the situation in Xudu?" Cao Cao asked. He was always worried about the backyard when he was away from home. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Guo Jia said: "I am going to report to my lord. If Wen Ruo wrote, Xu is fine, but there are still a few things: First, after the lord sent troops, there are still bad rumors in Beijing. The heads of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were sent back to reassure people. Second, Jingzhou Liu Biao sent the officer Han Song to come, and we thought he was here to find out the truth. Third, Jiangdong sent the former Kuaiji prefect Wang Lang to Beijing. My lord, can you guess who was appointed by him?"

"Who appointed it? Could it be Sun Ce?"

"Hahaha, my lord is a god, congratulations to my lord, Sun Ce is dead, his younger brother Sun Quan inherits his inheritance, and Wang Lang is sent to express his obedience."

"How did Sun Ce die?"

"Zhou Weiguo sent a letter saying that Sun Ce sent troops to Guangling and was repelled. He was killed by assassins shortly after returning to Jiangdong."

"Assassin?" Cao Cao shuddered, remembering Xu Tata's attempt to assassinate him. "Sun Ce was braver than his father, Sun Jian, who was known as the little overlord. How could he die at the hands of assassins? Could it be that the story of assassinating King Liao of Wu reappeared?"

"This, this is not clear, maybe Wang Lang can know a thing or two?" Xun You and Guo Jia were also at a loss.

"I remember that Sun Ce has a son, what is his name? It seems to be Sun Shao. Why didn't Sun Shao inherit his foundation, which is strange." Cao Cao said suspiciously.

"Said son, I want to congratulate the lord again. Not long after the lord sent troops, the Du family gave birth to a son. Now the mother and child are safe." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Cao Cao laughed three times, and shouted three times in a row, feeling happy, happy.Lu Bu, your red rabbit horse and Fang Tianji are all over the world, didn't you die in my hands?Lu Fengxian has no children in his life, only one daughter, you are brave enough to win the three armies, can I be as brave as me?
"Fengxiao, Gongda, I guess it will take another month or two for Yuan Shao's army to arrive here. I will go back to Xudu in the meantime, and I am still not at ease in the middle of the capital. See Han Song and Wang Lang again, and keep Liu Biao and Wang Lang safe." How about Sun Quan?"

"My lord, don't worry, Guandu is strong, even if Yuan Shao comes personally, he can still defend it."

"Well, I'll keep Cao Hong, Zhang Xiu, and Shi Huan here. Cao Xiu and Cao Chun will also stay with the tiger and leopard riders. Ziyang, you will also stay at Guandu."

Liu Ye and others said in unison: "My lord, please rest assured."

"By the way, Gongda, you write a letter to Zhou Cang in my name, asking him to come to Xudu to discuss important matters."

Cao Cao took Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu back to Xudu in light clothes.
