They were all made from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and Yuan Shao's soldiers could also tell the difference between human noses and animal noses.
The noses of these cars sent by Cao Cao...all belong to the noses of their Wuchao comrades!
For a moment, Sergeant Yuan and his soldiers were frightened by this cruel scene.
Everyone has seen fragments of limbs, but when so many noses appear in front of you at the same time, it is quite shocking.
What's more, with the flames of Wuchao, an even more terrifying news spread in Yuan Camp——
All the food for the army is in Wuchao!
Wuchao was burned down, and everyone had no food!
Precisely because many of Yuan's soldiers are veterans, they know very well what a disaster it means for the army to be short of food!
So when the noses of these comrades in the car were delivered, a sense of fear and uneasiness slowly fermented in Yuan Ying.
Yuan Shao also knew that the situation was critical at this time, so he quickly asked Jushou to go and comfort the soldiers.
Although Jushou had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, for the sake of the overall situation, he still came to the soldiers in person to comfort the army that was already showing signs of collapse——
"Don't worry, everyone! It's just a small defeat at the rear, nothing serious!"
"Gong Yuan has sent two generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, to Guandu. They will capture the Guandu camp soon. You can just wait for the news!"
Jushu's prestige in the army has always been very high. With his intervention, the trend of the army's collapse has indeed been alleviated.
But this only lasted less than half an hour.
Because half an hour later, news of Zhang He and Gao Lan's defection had reached Yuan Ying.
"Zhang He, Gao Lan rebelled?"
Yuan Shao and Ju Shou only regarded them as scouts to disturb the morale of the army, or simply as spies sent by Cao Cao, and directly executed the scouts who had finally obtained the information.
However, when an army bearing the banners of [Cao], [Zhang], and [Gao] slowly approached Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao finally recognized the reality.
"Zhang He! Gao Lan! How dare you betray me!"
Yuan Shao climbed up the city wall in person, and when he saw Zhang He and Gao Lanzhen's rebellion, he was dazzled and staggered a little.
"Zhang He! Gao Lan! How dare you two! How dare you two!"
Yuan Shao beat his chest and feet, and collapsed in the arms of Ju Shou and Guo Tu, with tears pouring out of his eyes.
This man who had just defeated Gongsun Zan and became the overlord of the north was actually crying like a child.
Zhang He and Gao Lan rebelled, and the blow to Yuan Shao was almost devastating!
Now Yuan Shao no longer dares to think about the chain consequences of the two's rebellion, because the situation has become so corrupt that even a powerful leader like him cannot control it.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao, who had just reached his peak after having exhausted all his mechanisms, thought he was securely seated on the Diaoyutai, was actually stabbed in the back by two groups of people from different factions, Xu You, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, in one day. It can only be said to be a trick of fate.
"Mr. Yuan!"
It was Guo Tu who cheered up and helped Yuan Shao up——
"Mr. Yuan! Now there is still a chance!"
There is indeed a chance.
It is not only an opportunity for Yuan Shao, but also an opportunity for Guo Tu.
Guo Tu had already woken up from the news of Zhang He and Gao Lan's rebellion. What followed was not worry and anxiety, but a burst of ecstasy.
Zhang He and Gao Lan surrendered to Cao Cao... didn't this give him and others an opportunity?
As long as they can manage to return to Hebei, the forces under Yuan Shao's command will definitely undergo a huge reshuffle!
Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of military power, even if Yuan Shao fights to the death, the general power must be completely defeated!
Once the Hebei faction loses military power, it is almost like a tiger that has lost its claws and fangs. It is almost impossible to jump back up!
Correspondingly, once the Hebei faction declines, then I and others will completely help Yuan Shao control Hebei, and their power will increase greatly!
Therefore, Guo Tu will never allow Yuan Shao to lose his fighting spirit now. He will summon the majestic and heroic Yuan Benchu again to assist him in "fighting" Hebei again!
Of course Jushou also knew what Guo Tu was thinking.
But he also persuaded Yuan Shao like Guo Tu.
Ju Shou and the Ju family behind him are now tied to Yuan Shao in a semi-autonomous and semi-passive manner. They can be regarded as sharing the prosperity and loss of Yuan Shao.
Zhang He could surrender to Cao Cao after some hesitation, but Ju Shou still hoped that Yuan Shao could win.
With the comfort of his two right-hand men, Ju Shou and Guo Tu, Yuan Shao's mood finally stabilized.
The problem is that after Yuan Shao stabilized, the soldiers in Yuan's camp exploded.
"General Zhang He and General Gao Lan have joined Cao's camp?"
This news undoubtedly had a devastating blow to Sergeant Yuan's soldiers, who were all from Hebei, and hit the noses of thousands of cars.
Zhang He and Gao Lan were well-known in the Hebei Army. Especially after the death of Yan Liang and Wenchou, they had almost become the spiritual pillars of the Hebei Army.
Now that they suddenly heard that the two men had joined Cao's camp, all the soldiers were in chaos.
The higher-ranking captains and captains were plotting whether to join forces with their old boss Zhang He.
Sima and Jun Zheng, who were in lower positions, had already packed their bags and planned to run away.
The food is gone, and the generals have rebelled. From this point of view, it is on the verge of collapse.
We are all from Hebei, so there is no reason why we should die in a foreign country and not be able to return to our hometown.
For a time, the Yuan camp was in chaos, fighting and running. From time to time, a few unlucky soldiers were trampled by the panicked crowd and fell to the ground without a trace.
In military books, there is a word specifically describing this scene——
Camp roar!
Right now, Yuan Shao's camp in Yangwu is experiencing what can be called the largest camp roar since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
On the outskirts of Yangwu Yuan Camp, He Yan naturally heard the noise in the military camp.
He Yan is now wearing jet-black fish scale armor and a black patterned hood, with a red feather crown on top that is particularly conspicuous.
The red robe trailing behind him could be clearly seen by the soldiers, becoming the only beacon of light for this army.
Zhang He and Gao Lan are on the left side of He Yan, while Cao Hong and Liu Ye are on the right side of He Yan.
The other three people had no objections to this, but Cao Hong was the only one who was confused - "It seems that I am the leader of this army, right?"
He Yan looked at Yuan Ying, which was like a small town, and asked Xu Hu, Xu Bao and some loud soldiers to shout side by side -
"Now all the food stored in Wuchao is destroyed, and our defeat will only happen in a matter of days!"
"It's better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light immediately to avoid falling into trouble!"
"Whoever wins Yuan Shao's head will be granted the title of five thousand nobles and a reward of fifty million! I hope you will spread the word!"
…
After the words were shouted, the eyes of everyone in Yuan Jun's camp became strange.
Five thousand households will receive a reward of fifty million.
This is exactly the price that Yuan Shao offered as a reward for He Yan and Cao Cao's head.
Now the situation has turned and it has fallen on Yuan Shao...
Yuan Shao ignored his grief and anger and glanced around with his red eyes, as if he was trying to find out who had ulterior motives.
And because of Zhang He's high position, his eyes stayed on the people from Hebei for the longest time.
Upon seeing this, Ju Shou suppressed his discomfort and advised Yuan Shao to get out as soon as possible.
"Mr. Yuan, now that the camp is no longer a place to stay for a long time, it is better to retreat first."
With He Yan's shouting, the roar of Yuan's soldiers became even more violent, and even some captains and military attachés were approaching Yuan Shao with ill intentions.
Yuan Shao felt furious when he saw these soldiers. The spear leathers that were supposed to show off his strength suddenly seemed to have become a rope tightening his neck.
"withdraw!"
Yuan Shao really didn't dare to stay any longer.
If a murderer really breaks out and launches an attack, then Yuan Shao may really tell the truth here.
Yuan Shao, his cronies and his eldest son Yuan Tan each rode a horse and fled away, not daring to hesitate at all.
The current Yuan Jun camp is like a crater, and no one wants to stay here any longer!
He Yan outside listened to the growing noise in Yuan Camp, and also ordered to Cao Hong beside him: "Uncle Zilian! You immediately lead a group of light cavalry north to the ferry, and the speed must be fast!"
"If you encounter a small group of enemy cavalry, surround them and annihilate them; if you encounter a large group of enemy cavalry, then don't fight with them and just burn the ferry boats!"
Cao Hong immediately accepted the order: "Hey...eh?"
After Cao Hong answered, he realized again that he was the commander-in-chief!
Seeing this, He Yan quietly whispered in Cao Hong's ear and said, "I gave all the credit for capturing Yuan Shao alive to Uncle Zi Lian. Could it be that Uncle Zi Lian still doesn't understand?"
This was when Cao Hong turned his worries into joy and happily said: "Yulang is still one of his own family after all!"
If he could really capture or kill Yuan Shao alive, then it goes without saying that Cao Hong's contribution would not be overstated, and he would not necessarily be promoted to the top of the generals.
At this point, He Yan didn't need to say anything, Cao Hong just took care of himself and led his cavalry to leave.
Liu Ye, who had been silent for a long time, waited for Cao Hong to go away before whispering to He Yan: "Marquis Shen, isn't this a bit unkind..."
The capture of Yuan Shao is certainly a great achievement, but it is not certain whether he can be caught now, right?
How can Yuan Shao, who is not sure whether he can be caught, be as good as a Yuan army camp?
Yuan Shao's wealth was famous throughout the world.
There are countless rare treasures in this marching camp alone. It would be somewhat unwise for Cao Hong to leave at this time.
He Yan scratched his head: "Really? I just asked Uncle Zi Lian to block Yuan Shao's retreat."
Liu Ye rolled his eyes, okay, it’s whatever you say.
…
At the same time, Cao Cao, who had briefly repaired in Wuchao, also began to lead his army towards Yuan Shao's camp in Yangwu.
From far to near, Cao Cao sat on his horse and stared at the rising sun and narrowed his eyes.
"Alas, after all, I am getting older, and I actually misunderstood the character [Yuan] in Yuan Ying as the character [Cao]."
Cao Cao rubbed his nose with one hand: "It's still because of being too tired. I hope Yuan Shao doesn't have much fighting spirit now."
Guo Jia followed beside him and followed Cao Cao's gaze, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face——
"Sikong, that flag... seems to be [Cao]."
"Oh?"
Cao Cao joked: "What? Fengxiao is so young and his eyesight is dim?"
Xia Houyuan had excellent archery skills and amazing eyesight. After looking at it for a long time, he said sarcastically: "Sikong, it seems that it really has the character [Cao]."
Cao Cao:???
At this moment, in the Yuan Jun camp, He Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his arms high and shouted while everyone below was stunned: "Report to Sikong! Another Sima He Yan has defeated Yuan Shao!!!"
