The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186

Cao Hong thought of a clever plan that could neutralize the enemy's spirit, and led his troops to battle again early the next morning.Pei Yuanshao was still led to the front of the formation by the high pole.With an order from Cao Hong, Pei Yuanshao took out the [-]-day-old dishcloth that had been stuck in Pei Yuanshao's mouth.Pei Yuanshao said in his heart that if I didn't die from the sun, I would also die from the stench of the dishcloth.He spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm from the side of his head, and greeted the ancestors of the Cao family: "Cao Hong, you son of a bitch, you put me down, and I hate all the female members of your Cao family, do you believe it or not?"

Cao Hong didn't need to speak. Twenty or thirty of his own soldiers armed with spears and spears beat Pei Yuanshao in three directions.He beat him so badly that he still kept cursing.

Wen Chou couldn't bear to watch from the top of the city, so he wanted to rush out and attack Zhang Xi, who was ambushing outside the city, to snatch the hostages back.But Cao Hong said: "Wen Chou, are you waiting for Zhang He's ambush? I tell you, his plan has been seen through by Sima Huanjie, and he is fighting Xu Chu on the official road at the moment, so he can't come. You should surrender quickly, otherwise, This general immediately killed Pei Yuanshao."

Pei Yuanshao was strangled by ropes into a purple eggplant-colored neck and face, and his two protruding eyeballs were bloodshot, and there were dying hatred, dying arrogance, and a little bit of timidity flowing from those eyes.With all his strength, he spit at Cao Hong, and it landed right on Cao Hong's helmet.A pool of yellow, flowing down thickly.It didn't disgust Cao Hong to death.Cao Hong was furious and shouted to put Pei Yuanshao down.

"Hit me hard."

A group of soldiers received the general order, lowered Pei Yuanshao from the high pole three times, five times and two times, and slapped Pei Yuanshao with the soles of his shoes against the chattering mouth.Pei Yuanshao was still cursing.There was a commotion between Cao Hong and the soldiers around him. The blood splashed from the mouth of the soles of the shoes flew to the faces and bodies of the people in the audience. Some people saw a few broken front teeth on the ground——

Hearing the miserable howls, Wen Chou's heart was pulled together, but there was nothing he could do.You can't give up Suanzao City and go desperately for one person!
Cao Hong had beaten enough, and Pei Yuanshao's arms were tied up again to catch a high pole. The moment his feet were lifted off the ground, he let out a heavy howl, followed by an inarticulate curse: "Cao Hong—you Damn-"

Cao Hong squinted at Wen Chou on the top of the wall, stretched out his arm, pointed at Pei Yuanshao, and said, "Your problem lies in your mouth, so I will treat your mouth to see who is better at it. You scold me, and I will find you." Someone poked a hole in your body with a gun, but they didn't poke it at a fatal place. When you persuaded me and stopped scolding, I will let you down. What do you think?" Scolded: "Cao Hong, your father, I don't take your doll for anything, at most it's something in my crotch! General Wen-General Wen-you tell the lord that I, Pei Yuanshao, have been loyal to him-let him Remember to avenge me—” Before finishing speaking, a gun was pierced through the leg, and there was a miserable howl——

Wen Chou's whole body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Brother——"

Pei Yuanshao spat at Cao Hong from the air, and people saw a bright red fountain sprinkled on Cao Hong's neck.Cao Hong raised his brocade robe angrily and wiped the blood on his face.There was another commotion among the surrounding soldiers. They saw a blood-red lump bouncing three times on the ground. It was the half of Pei Yuanshao's bitten off tongue.

Cao Hong got off his horse, stepped on it with his foot, turned his thigh vigorously and rubbed it with his foot a few times.The soldiers stabbed Pei Yuanshao a few more times at the place where Pei Yuanshao would not be killed.

Pei Yuanshao's mouth has become a fountain of blood. The bright red plasma flows through his chin and into his neck. The blood on his chest flows into one piece. The blood cannot show color through the black pants, as if it reappeared on his ankle after passing through a dark passage. The plasma dripping from the toes formed a puddle of blood on the parched ground.

Cao Honghao said angrily: "Okay, this general values ​​tough guys." The rope that was hanging on Pei Yuanshao was suddenly loosened, and Pei Yuanshao fell from the air to the ground, and the chicken kicked his legs as if struggling for his life before he died——

Cao Hong smiled slyly, and raised his hand, Pei Yuanshao's limp body on the ground was hoisted up again, and the bound arms were stretched out, which was a symbol of all joints broken.Wen Chou looked at Pei Yuanshao's blood-stained body, his lips kept trembling, and he shouted hoarsely: "Cao Hong, my ancestor—"

Pei Yuanshao was thrown four or five times in a row, and gradually turned into a lump of meat, without anger or moaning like a slaughtered cow.

Looking at the muddy and bloody bones under his feet, Cao Hong sighed: "The toughest guy in Yuan Jun can't be tough anymore. Wen Chou, you still don't surrender, do you want to be like him?"

Wen Chou's eyes were like the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave, which became foggy and damp and surged. He said in grief and indignation: "Cao Hong, I, Wen Chou, swear to the sky, if I don't take your life, I will let the sky strike me with lightning."

Cao Hong was furious. Seeing that the morale of Yuan Jun on the top of the city was taken away, he said sharply: "Soldiers, attack the city with ladders, go up." The military order fell like a mountain.In an instant, dozens of ladders have been built on the moat.Wen Chou said hysterically: "Shoot the arrow—"

Arrows raining as dense as a torrential rain with no gaps and hatred, almost filled the moat in a short while, and several ladders were shot from it.The stone-throwing machine on the top of the city bounced a huge boulder weighing fifty to sixty kilograms and smashed it violently at the middle army of Cao Jun, causing some people's brains to burst from time to time.Rows of crossbows issued death whistles, taking away rows of lives——

Cao Hong ordered: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops and go back, the fucking loss is too great, go back to the camp—"

After a hard fight, Zhang He came back covered in blood.He was ambushed by others and lost nearly 2 horses.The armor was missing, the hair was loose, and the chest and back were bloodstained.Hearing what Wen Chou said, he burst into tears. "Old Pei, it's all my fault, it's me who missed the opportunity to fight, I'm damned—" Zhang Yun kept beating the breastplate on his chest, causing him to spit out blood.Wen Chou pulled his arm and said: "Junyi, what are you doing, how can you blame you, this is my fault, I watched him die tragically, but I couldn't save him—"

Zhang He said frantically: "Flying pigeons pass the letter, Feige pass the letter to the lord, I want to fight, I want to kill Cao Hong, that bastard."

Jizhou's reaction can be imagined.Zhou Cang cried like his whole family died, which could be heard throughout Jizhou City. "My lord, if you still think about our brotherhood, send troops to Guandu immediately. I will avenge my brother!"

Apart from Zhou Cang, only Hu Che'er and Chang Xi had the best relationship with Pei Yuanshao, and both of them also burst into tears, pleading for orders to play.

Wen Chou described it concretely in his heart, the blood in my body surged up, and I wanted to burst impulsively.Zang Ba roared: "My lord, Tie Futu has been practiced. I, Lao Zang, can assure you that I can defeat Cao Bing in one battle. Please give me an order, my lord."

The crowd was so angry that I couldn't control it. Pei Yuanshao's tragic death made me hate Cao Hong so much, I jumped up from the short back and said, "Pei Yuanshao's revenge must be avenged. Everyone go back and prepare, and we will send troops to Guandu immediately."

Jia Xu and Pang Tong followed me to the inner hall, and kept saying: "My lord, if we don't have enough food and grass, how can we use soldiers? It's absolutely impossible." I said, "The two gentlemen have also seen it just now. Excited, if you don’t send troops, how can you explain to everyone.”

Jia Xu said: "At least one month is needed to raise food and grass." I said: "How about half a month, the night is long and dreamy, Cao Cao is afraid that he will be prepared." Pang Tong said: "My lord, the idea is too simple, Cao Cao has already made preparations." I was surprised: "Where do you start with this?" Pang Tong took out a secret letter from his arms: "This is a letter from Feige. Cao Cao heard that Cao Hong had executed Pei Yuanshao in Guandu, and he had already led his army to go there first. .”

Cao Cao is really experienced, I shouted: "Then it is even more necessary to move out as soon as possible." Jia Xu obviously didn't know the news yet.In the past, Jushou was responsible for the news of Feige's transmission of letters. When Jushou was away, I left it to Pang Tong to manage.

Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao is sure to win this time. He is much more prepared than last time. Our army must fight steadily and not panic."

I said, "What do you mean, sir?" Jia Xu said, "Let Gao Lan and General Zhou Cang take an army to go, and Zhang He Wenchou to stick to Suanzao City for half a month, and the brigade will arrive later."

I thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it. I'll go with Gao Lan, and you and Pang Shiyuan will stay behind to raise food and grass." of.He wanted to object, but he heard Jia Xu say, "That's fine, my lord, be careful. It's best to go on the road tonight."

Pang Tongtong's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't get them out. He thought, the style of the Hebei army is indeed very different from other places, evil.

Gossip aside, the army set out that night, and the first cavalry arrived at Suanzao five days later.Gao Lan was in the middle of the battle, and I took the lead and went straight into the city.

Cao Cao has already come to Guandu three days before me, but he has not launched any offensive.Suanzao City was in a state of tension as if it were facing a formidable enemy.Everyone looked dignified and murderous, and countless soldiers were rushing to and fro, cutting down trees and building platoon crossbows. Under the city, there was a group of digging trenches around the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.The blacksmith was busy making iron chains, which seemed to be making tripping ropes and the like.One after another, the freshly baked crossbows were carried up to the top of the city and placed on the highest enemy building. The flames under the oil pan were steaming——

As soon as I entered the city, my morale immediately rose. The soldiers and captains on the tower raised their arms loudly: "The lord must win, the Hebei army must win, the lord must win, the Hebei army must win—"

I brought Hao Zhao.As soon as Hao Zhao entered the city, he made a lot of comments, this is not good, there is bad, there are too few shooters on the top of the city, the angle of the crossbow is wrong, too concentrated and lethal is not strong enough, the number of caltrops is too small, the poison must be quenched—— Wait, wait, Wen Chou and Zhang Xi frowned.

I patted Hao Zhao on the shoulder, and I said in a deep voice, "Old Hao, we won't be fighting for the time being."

Wen Chou said: "My lord doesn't intend to defend the city." Pointing to the wilderness outside the city, I raised my face and said, "Before it's time to defend the city, first contact Cao's soldiers for a while to dampen their spirits, or they will think I'm not going to defend the city." The army is afraid of war!"

Xu Shu ran up from the city out of breath; "It's not good, it's not good, Cao Cao has sent us a letter of war." Holding up the letter in his hand, Xu Shu was out of breath: "Say it, General Yuewen and General Yuewen will meet tomorrow." General Zhang, if there is a battle outside the city, whoever does not go will be the grandson."

Wen Chou muttered in a low voice: "Nonsense, Cao Cao's father is still my sunrise. Who do you say is whose grandson?" I gave an affirmative answer: "Cao Cao is your grandson, Yuyu, don't worry, I'm standing on your side." Side." Wen Chou shook hands with me: "Thank you, my lord, for your trust——"

Zhang Yun roared: "My lord, let me challenge Cao Hong tomorrow. If I don't cut him a hundred knives, I will feel sorry for Lao Pei."

Looking around at the soldiers guarding the city, I came up with an idea and said to Zhang Yun, "Tonight, I will set up an incense table on the tower, and I will personally worship Brother Pei."

The incense table was set up on the highest enemy platform in Suanzao City, and five stone launchers and three crossbow launchers temporarily gave up the open space.Five purple incense sticks are in the middle of the altar, and next to them are three pig-headed fruit offerings.Under the city tower, in the open space, 10,000+ troops gathered together, and [-] torches illuminated the entire dome like a red-hot bottom of a pot.Under the city tower is a neat queue with black heads.You can look up and you can see that I lead the civil and military generals and weep to General Pei Yuanshao.

I took the lead and knelt down in front of the burning incense altar, prostrating three times.A cannon rang, and sparks burst out in the air.The desolate sound of the horn swept through all corners of Suanzao City, and also swept away the hearts of the soldiers.Wen Chou knelt behind me, and suddenly cried loudly: "Brother Pei, your heroic spirit is not far away, bless me to kill Cao Hong tomorrow, and avenge you." Zhang He said sadly: "Old Pei is a tough guy, why don't we wait, he If you can sacrifice your life for the lord, why can't we wait, and tomorrow we will fight to the death with Cao Bandit."

Before I came, before I heard the sound of the horn, I didn't think anything was wrong.Now that I listened to it, I thought of Pei Yuanshao, and a burst of sadness swept my heart.I also cried aloud; "Brother Pei, you can leave at ease, I, Yuan Xi, swear, I will avenge you, your parents, wife and children are my parents, wife and children—"

I don't know who among the soldiers took the lead in shouting: "Avenge General Pei, kill Cao Bing—" "Kill Cao Bing—" "Kill Cao Bing—" There were angry shouts one after another, probably as far away as possible. Cao Ying, dozens of miles away, could also hear it.

Cao Cao perched high on his horse, behind him the 20 troops sweating like rain and throwing whips across the river stood like a sturdy poplar forest.This is only a small part of his army, and the heavy troops have not yet been suppressed. With the strength of Suanzao City, these people are enough. Cao Xiu, Cao Chun.When Cao Cao wrote the letter yesterday, he obviously didn't know that I had come to Suanzao, and he was not very well informed.The two armies faced each other, Cao Cao and I met each other, and immediately sneered: "Little thief Yuan, you are here too, are you here to die?"

I thought to myself, what can you do with your 80 army, the Battle of Chibi couldn't burn you to death, but I burned you to death in Guandu.

Next to me are Zhou Cang, Zhang He, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Hao Zhao, Li Dian and other generals lined up on the left and right, all rushing to fight.Wen Chou was the first to fight with a gun and scolded Cao Cao; "Old thief, dare to insult my lord, but dare to come out and fight with me."

The Hebei army is arrogant, and every challenge is directed at Cao Cao himself.It seems that everyone else in Cao Ying is vulnerable.

Seeing that Wen Chou came out, Xu Chu slapped his horse to fight: "Beat me first, let's fight the prime minister." Zhou Cang jumped up and shouted at the opposite side: "Which one is Cao Hong, and that one is Cao Hong, get out of here, I want to fight for you!" Brother revenge."

Cao Hong would be afraid of him, so he said sharply: "Don't be so rampant, ugly ghost, and see Cao Hong come to meet you." He also rode his horse into battle.Zhou Cang saw that the enemy was extremely jealous, the horse rolled into a gust of wind and rushed out of the camp, he raised his knife and chopped.

The four generals, catching each other and fighting each other, took a full hour to stop fighting. On the first day, both sides made tentative attacks, and there was no major fight.

The next day, Cao Cao was not so polite. After Zhang He fought Cao Hong for a few rounds, Cao Cao waved his horsewhip, and hundreds of thousands of troops pressed on him.After a scuffle, Cao Jun took advantage of the large number of people and went back.

Xu Shu suggested to defend the city, but I couldn't help shaking my head, I can't defend the city, I must lead Cao thief into the trap.Every two or three days Cao Cao would lead his troops to yell and curse outside the city, showing off his might.Every time I went out of the city to fight, and every time I came back defeated, with heavy losses, repeated defeats, repeated defeats.Cao Cao was pleased with my persistence.The generals under him gradually became dissatisfied. Everyone felt that there was a huge difference in the strength of the troops, and they still defended the city, waiting for the reinforcements from Jizhou to arrive, and went out to kill the enemy.

I thought to myself, why does no one understand the great general's painstaking efforts?Then Cao Cao will be wary, and my Tiefutu will not be able to exert its maximum lethality.The old thief will let you be happy and proud first, and you will know the general's methods in a few days.

I paid a heavy price for the final decisive battle, and exchanged the lives of [-] to [-] soldiers for half a month.Cao Cao thought I was crazy, and always fought head-on with him. Every battle was bound to be defeated, and Cao Jun took advantage of every melee. After a long time, the soldiers all had this mentality: they were going out of the city again to die.

There is no way for one to succeed and ten thousand bones to dry up.The most critical victory can decide everything.Cao Cao is scheming, don't you, Yuan Xi, want to fight recklessly?I secretly increased the number of troops, and after a few days of fighting again, I captured you alive, and see if you Hebei soldiers are still waiting to die.Cao Cao secretly ordered a total of 30 people from the Jia Xin Department, Cao Zhang Department, Cao Zun Department, and Zhu Zan Department near Sishuiguan to gather in Suanzao.In the next battle, Yuan Jun will be defeated in one fell swoop.Capture the bandit leader, General Yuan Xi, alive.At that time, Hebei was not at your fingertips——
