Jiang Qi was ordered to rescue Wuchao. When he saw Chunyu Qiong's troops coming out, he felt a little strange, so he came to ask. Cao's army pretended to be the defeated army of Wuchao, while Cao Cao himself pretended to be even more powerful, with a lot of dust on his face.
, directly hugged Jiang Qi's brigade and said, "General, go and save Wuchao quickly. Cao's army is very abominable. We are all broken up."
When Jiang Qi saw the tragic situation, he was no longer confused. He thought to go to Wuchao to seek revenge on Cao's army and drive the horses to pass by.
Cao Cao gave a wink at Zhang Liao and Xu Chu in the team. After half of the team passed, he had already mixed into Jiang Qi's team, and suddenly shouted: "Jiang Qi, don't leave!"
Zhang Liao was next to Jiang Qi. He was caught off guard and was killed by Zhang Liao beside him. The others Yuan Jun was also hit and fell into a pool of blood. Then Cao Jun took off all these clothes.
Another decent actor was sent to report to Yuan Shao, saying: "General Jiang Qi is very heroic. Under his leadership, everyone defeated Cao's army to the point of falling. Now Cao Cao is like a dog who is struggling to escape to the base camp."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao was very satisfied, nodded and rewarded the disguised person with great reverence. He no longer cared about Wuchao's affairs, but just accelerated the progress and went to Guandu.
Zhang He and Gao Lan went to Cao Cao's camp to attack. As soon as they entered, Xiahou Dun on the left, Cao Ren on the right, Cao Hong on the middle, and three armies broke out. Yuan's army was not large in number, but they were ambushed again and were soon killed and defeated.
.
When the troops behind him followed, Cao Cao brought his elite troops back from behind. Yuan Jun was surrounded and could not support him at all.
Zhang He and Gao Lan knew that the situation was hopeless, so they quickly broke through the siege and survived.
Yuan Shao took back all the soldiers and horses that were defeated by Wuchao. Seeing that Chunyu Qiong's ears and nose were cut off, and blood was still left on his hands and feet, it was very miserable, so he asked others to ask about the situation and said angrily: "You guys."
What was going on? How did Wuchao be attacked?"
Some people who were dissatisfied with Chunyu Qiong came out to complain and said, "General Chunyu Qiong drinks every day. Just then, after drinking too much that day, Cao's army came, so they could not resist."
Yuan Shao was furious and prepared to send someone to behead him immediately.
At this time, Guo Tu was a little panicked. This strategic mistake was caused by him. He was very afraid that Gao Lan and Zhang He would come back to confront him, so he would definitely die. So the evil man complained in front of Yuan Shao and said, "Zhang He and Gao."
Looking at the two of them, they are secretly happy to see the defeat of the lord."
Yuan Shao said: "Why do you say that?"
Guo Tu smiled and said, "Actually, I have observed them for a long time. They have long meant to surrender to Cao Cao. Now they are sent to attack Cao Cao's main camp. The two of them have not taken the initiative to carry out the mission, which has led to the loss of troops and generals."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao was furious and sent someone to find the two men and prepare to question them.
In order to protect himself, Guo Tu shamelessly sent someone to tell Gao Lan and Zhang He, and said, "My lord is ready to attack you, please be blessed."
When the people sent by Yuan Shao arrived, Gao Lan asked, "What did the lord ask us to go back and do?"
The messenger said, "I am not very clear either."
Gao Lan drew out his sword and stabbed the envoy to death. Zhang He behind him was very surprised and hurried forward to ask why.
Gao Lan laughed softly and said, "Yuan Shao, a foolish man, who believed Guo Tu's slander, would definitely be captured by Cao Cao. How can we wait for death here? Judging from this situation, it must be Guo Tu's instigation. We
He will definitely be executed when he goes back. It’s better to go to Cao Cao just to surrender. He is still very wise."
Zhang He sighed and said, "Actually, I have observed it for a long time. I have had this idea for a long time. Cao Cao is Ming Gong."
So the two of them walked towards Cao Cao's camp with the remaining troops.
Xiahou Dun said: "They two of them come to surrender, and they don't know the truth."
Cao Cao said: "I use favor to express my gratitude to them. Even if I have bad ideas, they will change."
So they ordered people to open the gate of the camp, and the two of them threw their weapons, put their armor on the ground, and fell to their knees.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "If Yuan Shao was willing to use you two, I believe he would not fail. Now you two come to surrender to me, just like Han Xin goes to surrender to the Han Dynasty." After saying that, Zhang He was appointed as a partial general and Hou Duting.
Gao Lan was a partial general and a Marquis of Donglai. The two of them did not expect that Cao Cao would be so wise and were very happy, thinking that he had met a wise ruler.
Yuan Shao lost Xu You, Zhang He and Gao Lan, and at the same time, nothing left in Wuchao. The morale of the army was floating. Xu You advised Cao Cao to attack quickly at this time. Zhang He and Gao Lan took the initiative to ask for the vanguard. Cao Cao agreed,
Zhang He and Gao Lan were sent to intercept Yuan Shao's camp with their troops.
At the third evening, Cao's army divided into three groups to attack Yuan Shao's commander's camp, fought until dawn, and then withdrew their troops, and Yuan Shao's army lost most of it.
The situation in the Battle of Guandu had a fundamental reversal. Xun You came out to offer a plan and said: "Now we can publicize externally, saying that we will allocate some people to seize the sour jujube and attack Ye County; take Liyang and cut off the retreat of Yuan's army.
Then when Yuan Shao heard about it, he would definitely be very panicked and divided some soldiers to resist. We would take advantage of the process of his soldiers being separated and launch a sudden attack, and then the Yuan army would be broken."
Cao Cao used this strategy and sent three armies of all sizes to spread such gossip everywhere. After Yuan Shao heard about it, he actually believed this matter. Someone even made a special report and said: "Cao Cao is preparing to divide his troops to attack and take Ye County all the way.
, take Liyang all the way, so we will not even have a way out."
Yuan Shao was indeed very surprised and sent his son Yuan Tan to divide 50,000 troops to save Ye County, and Xin Ming divided 50,000 troops to save Li Yang, and got up overnight.
Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao's troops had separated, and laughed out loud. He immediately concentrated all the troops and resources of the headquarters, concentrated the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and directly attacked Yuan Shao's main camp.
At this time, Yuan Jun had insufficient food and grass, and had no fighting spirit at all. He just ran around and was defeated thousands of miles away.
Yuan Shao was not dressed well and was helped by everyone, with his youngest son Yuan Shang following closely.
Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin, four generals chased Yuan Shao tightly. Yuan Shao hurriedly crossed the Yellow River. Some books and some toys from the upper class he brought were thrown away, and only more than 800 people were brought.
The cavalry quickly left.
Cao's army could not chase after him, so they could only pick up all the things that Yuan Shao had discarded. This time, more than 80,000 people were killed, leaving the entire battlefield full of blood. There were also many soldiers drowned in the Yellow River, which was very tragic.
During this great victory, Cao Cao rewarded all his things to the soldiers. In the book, he found a letter, which were secretly communicated by some officials from Xu Du and Yuan Shao.
