Chapter 300: The arrival of the army, the situation of Guandu
The White Horse, the first pass that once ruined the lives of Yan Liang, a peerless general from the north, has now become a huge transit station.
Yuan Shao failed!
A fire destroyed all the food and grass in Wuchao and also destroyed Yuan Shao's dream of unifying the world. After three months of war, Yuan's army was completely defeated by this news.
The illness was like a thread being pulled out, the army was defeated like a mountain falling, hundreds of thousands of troops fled everywhere, some rushed into the forest, some went to the fields, and some fled back to the white horse.
The white horse was the basis for going south, and was controlled by Pang Tong and Gao Lan himself, without leaving any step away. All the soldiers and horses that fled back were confiscated and then sent back to Liyang to settle. A bowl of hot soup was served. The military personnel had already poured into the deserters in large numbers to stabilize their minds and determine Yuan Xi's orthodoxy.
In just two days, 20,000 people were transported across the Yellow River and returned to Hebei, but this was actually only a small part, because there were still many who dared not come back at all. The deserters were to be executed, so they would rather hide for a while and wait for the limelight to pass.
On this day, the sky was covered with misty air and it seemed as if it was going to rain at any time. However, under the city gate of the White Horse, I saw Pang Tong and Gao Lan looking into the distance with excitement and expectation.
Not long after, with the violent sound of horse hooves, I saw a mighty and amazing momentum, with the majesty of the iron army, with the eight banners crisscrossing, and more than 100,000 troops stretching for several miles were galloping from afar. Yuan Xi, wearing golden armor, rushed to the front surrounded by the generals.
"Marty, here you come," Gao Lan immediately said excitedly.
When Yuan Xi came to them, he immediately stepped on the horse rope, and the horse's hooves flew up and shouted loudly, as if indicating the arrival of his era.
Pang Tong and Gao Lan looked at Yuan Xi, who was majestic and domineering in his eyes. After a while of his mind, they immediately shouted with respect with the generals: "Greetings to the Marquis"
"Haha, I finally caught up." Yuan Xi looked at the unscathed Baima City, laughed loudly, fell off the horse, looking at Pang Tong and Gao Lan and said, "Shi Yuan, Jing Zhi, thank you for your hard work."
"Serve the Marquis' life, and die," said the two of them quickly.
"Okay, after you go back, you will be rewarded with many rewards. Where is the father?" Yuan Xi asked with concern. This was the most important thing for him to go south.
Hearing this, Pang Tong immediately said ashamed: "Report to the Marquis, Tong is incompetent. Duke Yuan vomited blood and was bedridden due to Guandu's defeat. He is currently resting in the county yamen. The medical officer is exercising his power to rescue him."
"What!" Yuan Xi's pupils shrank.
Li Ru's lips raised slightly behind her, but it disappeared quickly, and she said with concern: "Shi Yuan, didn't Cao Cao come to attack the white horse?"
Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the military advisor, Cao's army has withdrawn from Guandu."
Yuan Xi showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "What's going on?"
The white horse is the passage to the north, and Cao Cao actually gave up.
"This must be Yuanzhi's credit," Li Ru said with relief.
"It is precisely, in order to better control Guandu for the marquis, Yuan Zhi led his troops to guard Yangwu in danger. When Yuan Gong's army was completely defeated, Yuan Zhi immediately seized the opportunity and led 30,000 troops to send troops. He was determined and unintentional. When Cao's army was chasing Yuan Gong's army in multiple batches, he concentrated his troops and divided them into two routes. The first route led his troops to occupy the Fuyunling area, successfully ambushed Cao Cao's main army, blocking them from continuing northward. On the other side, led by General Zhang He, they all pretended to be deserters and deceived Cao Ren into the canyon. Cao Ren was pierced by thousands of arrows and then occupied Guandusha Camp unexpectedly again."
"Cao Ren is dead." Yuan Xi said unexpectedly that Cao Ren was the first general in the Cao Cao clan. He had never fought many battles in the south and north.
"It's true that Cao Ren's death was a big blow to Cao's army. It is said that Cao Cao fainted on the spot. Guo Jia, Xun You and others immediately ordered the army to turn back to Guandu again. At present, Yuan Zhizheng personally led his troops to guard Shaying, imitating Cao Cao, and he had defended and attacked, and he did not respond to the battle. He once again blocked the passage of Cao's army to the north." Pang Tong said with a smile.
"Yuanzhi, great talent, great talent!" Yuan Xi said three great talents with his face, which shows how satisfied he was with Xu Shu's actions. Originally, their idea was that as long as he defended the white horse, he would win. Unexpectedly, Xu Shu actually fought back to Guandu again.
"Yuan Zhi is indeed amazing. He can catch the timing accurately and choose the characters well. However, the most important thing here is that Cao's army did not expect that the Marquis was so powerful. Even Gao Lan and Zhang He had completely surrendered. With Yuan Zhi's wisdom of ghosts and gods, he had such a victory." Li Ru smiled.
"Military advisor, what he said is that it is because Cao's army was too vague with the Marquis that these two defeats were caused. However, because Jiang Qi and Han Meng led a total of 80,000 troops to surrender, the strength of Cao's army is actually stronger than before," Pang Tong said seriously.
"Jiang Qi, Han Meng surrendered. What's going on?" Yuan Xi said in surprise. These two have been following their father for more than ten years. Because they were rushing, they did not know the specific situation of the Battle of Guandu.
Pang Tong sighed and said, "Report to the Marquis, after Xu You rebelled, Cao Cao immediately launched a large-scale attack on Wuchao, but Yuan Gong still had the possibility of remedy. However, he believed Guo Tu's plan and did not even make up for it. Instead, he ordered Jiang Qi. Han Meng attacked Cao Cao's camp fiercely. Unexpectedly, the camp was not broken and Wuchao was burned. Guo Tu was afraid that Yuan Gong would cause trouble for him, so he slandered Jiang Qi. Han Meng's two generals deliberately slack off. After the two generals knew about it, they were naturally angry and immediately surrendered to Cao Cao with their troops. Then they broke the military camp from the inside out, causing heavy losses to hundreds of thousands of troops. Yuan Gong could not accept this fact, and vomited blood directly. Under the protection of more than 800 personal guards, they finally escaped and were picked up by our army to the white horse."
"Guo Tu, bastard, where are others?" Hearing this, Yuan Xi cursed angrily. This battle between Guo Tu is definitely the first crime. One is forcing Xu You and the other is insulting the general. Such a huge mistake is useless in his great talent.
"It has been locked up," Pang Tong said.
"Jingzhi, send someone to take his head to someone immediately," Yuan Xi ordered coldly.
Gao Lan was shocked, but he still responded quickly.
"Although Cao Cao's troops have increased significantly, his food and grass are still not enough!" Li Ru asked.
"The military advisor didn't know what to do. The secret spy came to report it. Xu Du's Xun Lingjun didn't know what to use, but he actually obtained a lot of food and grass from Guanzhong. These food and grass are probably enough for Cao's army to use for one month," Pang Tong said admiringly.
"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled loudly and said, "Xi's name is well-known to the emperor. He must meet him in the future. He immediately sent an order to let Xianhu, Gan Ning, Li Guang and the four generals of Li Shang lead a 50,000 army to support Yuan Zhi, and told Yuan Zhi that at most two days, Xi will definitely arrive at Guandu."
"promise!"
"Marty, Mr. Yuan is so seriously injured. Mr. Yuan should go to see him immediately." Li Ru suddenly said anxiously. The war is in full swing, and he must first determine Yuan Xi's name and pass it back to Yecheng.
Yuan Xi nodded and turned around and said, "Zilong, you arrange for the rest of the army."
"No" Zhao Yun replied.
"Military advisor, Shi Yuan, Jing Zhi, Niu'er, go with me to meet my father"
"No!" the four of them responded.
When the group of people arrived at the county government office, Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "Shi Yuan, where are some elder brothers and third brothers?"
"Hao Ye, I've been detained," Pang Tong said with his head down.
Yuan Xi nodded, not saying anything more. However, just as he was about to step in, Pang Tong suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Marty, there is still a problem here."
"What's wrong?" Yuan Xi said curiously.
"General Wen Chou was standing in front of Yuan Gong's door with a spear in his hand. He had to take all the medicines himself before allowing someone to enter. At the same time, he did not allow any soldiers from our army to get close to the house," Pang Tong said with a wry smile.
"Is that?" Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said with great appreciation: "General Wen Chou, a loyal and righteous minister! Let's go and take a look."
"promise"
.....
At this time, at the door of a house, Wen Chou was wearing black armor, holding a sharp snatch in his hand and standing straight at the door. His majestic body and evil eyes all brought endless deterrence to people.
When the door behind was pushed open, Xun Kan, the only one who had not been dealt with, walked out, glanced at Wen Chou who had been standing for a day and a night, and sighed, "Let's go first, you have a rest!"
Wen Chou shook his head and said firmly: "I vow to protect my lord to death."
Xun Kan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really didn't expect that the second young master who was once polite, modest, neither fighting nor robbing, or even mediocre would be so cruel, and his power was already so huge.
"Marty, come," then a huge shout rang out from outside.
Wen Chou's pupils shrank and he immediately said, "Mr. Xun, go in quickly."
"Let's go first, forget it, not only the white horse, but even the North is probably taken down by the second young master. Your injury has not completely healed, give up!" Xun Kan advised sincerely.
"No, I have said a long time ago that as long as the lord is still there, I will always defend him. Now the lord is not dead yet?" After Wen Chou roared in tears, he held the gun tightly and looked at the stone door in front of him with a firm expression.
