Regarding Guo Tu's suggestion to seek peace, Yuan Shao seemed very angry and rejected the proposal without saying a word.
The so-called peace negotiation, in the final analysis, does not mean that he wants to surrender to Cao Cao. Is this something that the arrogant Yuan Shao can accept?
It is better to die in battle than to live in peace! Although Yuan Shao is not a fierce person, he has been forced to the end and is almost crazy at this time.
I come from a famous family of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes. He, Cao Ah Man, is nothing more than a eunuch. How can I be subordinate to him?
Fight! Fight at all costs! Even if I spend everything I have, I will fight!
He, Cao Aman, was able to defeat the weak and the strong in Guandu, and I can do it this time too!
In one fell swoop, we defeated Cao Jun and revived the strength of our Hebei army!
Guo Tu shook his head helplessly. Yuan Shao was now almost in a daze and could not listen to any advice. But he knew very well that if he fought, the Yuan family would surely perish!
Guo Tu sighed. If the Yuan family were to perish, it seemed that he would have to bear a lot of blame. Now he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret. If only he hadn't been so flattering before, but could be like Tian Feng and Ju Shou in some cases.
If Yuan Shao had been admonished on key issues, perhaps the current results would have been very different.
But what's the use of talking about this now? Since Yuan Shao is unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao, he can only hope for a miracle to happen.
Having said that, although Guo Tu has poor conduct, his loyalty to the Yuan family is unquestionable. Although the Yuan family is now in danger, Guo Tu has never had a hint of betrayal.
If the Yuan family is eventually destroyed, then I will die with the Yuan family, which can be regarded as atonement for my ridiculous actions over the years. Guo Turu thought.
————————————————————————————Makino, this famous ancient battlefield that was once the site of the decisive battle between Shang and Zhou Dynasties, is now
A new battle is about to begin.
The armies of Cao and Yuan had already been prepared and were facing each other at opposite ends of the battlefield.
The final battle is about to begin.
Cao Cao's army had 80,000 elite soldiers, and their morale was like a rainbow. Every soldier's face was filled with the look of eagerness for a battle.
As for Yuan's army, there were only 60,000 weak soldiers at this time, and the faces of the sergeants were mostly covered with sorrow and mist.
Although Yuan Shao still hopes that he can defeat Cao Cao, judging from the military appearance of both sides, even a layman who does not understand military affairs can conclude that Yuan's army will be defeated at a glance.
If the opponent was not Cao Jun, Yuan Shaojun's morale might not be so bleak. Yuan Shaojun can be regarded as a soldier who has fought a hundred battles. Even if he does not have the upper hand in numbers, he is definitely capable of fighting.
But the problem now is that the army on the opposite side defeated his own army twice. It can be said that Yuan Shaojun had a psychological shadow on Cao Jun.
If Yuan Shao could be more promising, or if he could have a famous general like Zhang He under his command, he might be able to eliminate this fear among the soldiers.
But it is a pity that Yuan Shao does not have that kind of ability, and he does not have generals with outstanding abilities under his command. Therefore, when Yuan Jun faced Cao Jun, the morale of his army was inevitably low.
"Hebei warriors, the time has come to make great achievements! Anyone who kills more than five soldiers of Cao's army will be rewarded with ten gold coins! Whoever kills Cao's generals will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and be granted the title of a marquis! Anyone who kills Cao's thieves will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of ten thousand households!"
As the saying goes, a man with a lot of gold must have a brave man. Since Yuan Shao had no other way, he could only try to stimulate the morale of the army through material rewards.
Encouraged by Yuan Shao's heavy reward, Yuan Jun's soldiers finally developed some fighting spirit.
Cao Cao smiled, a thousand pieces of gold? A title of ten thousand households? What a generous reward! But now, even if you offer a reward of ten thousand pieces of gold, it will not help the situation.
"Kill!" Compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's order was extremely concise.
For Cao Cao, there was no need for him to speak any inspiring words at this time. Even a simple word was enough to make his soldiers feel high and fight bravely.
The day to destroy Yuan is now!
Soldiers from both armies rushed forward at the same time, and a battle broke out!
Compared with the indomitable march of Cao's soldiers, the marching speed of Yuan's soldiers was obviously much slower.
Even though Yuan Shao awarded a heavy reward and slightly improved Yuan Jun's morale, the overall situation was still relatively bad.
The sounds of weapons being handed over, soldiers' shouts of killing, painful wails and other sounds echoed one after another on the battlefield. These sounds, together with the broken limbs and broken arms that can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, intertwined to create a real and cruel hell.
scene.
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth. He was in the middle army and could clearly see that a hole had been torn out at the front line of his army.
Not long after the war started, Cao Jun had already achieved preliminary results.
"Get them all on me!" Yuan Shao saw this, his eyes were about to burst, and he kept shouting in grief and indignation.
If this battle is lost, then everything will be over.
But no matter how unwilling Yuan Shao was, he had no chance to change the situation of the war. Not to mention other generals, but in terms of generals, he no longer has a general who can lead the army. The person who is currently responsible for commanding the army is Yuan Shao.
Jiang Yiqu, his subordinate, and Yuan Shao's nephew **, both of whom were mediocre in ability, had no ability to resist Cao Jun's famous generals.
Although Cao Jun's current offensive cannot be said to be overwhelming, it is indeed consuming Yuan Jun's strength step by step.
Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear were charging at the forefront of the entire army. Wherever the tip of the spear flashed, Yuan Jun's corpse must appear.
Gao Shun's trapped camp and Zhang He's Euphorbia soldiers, two elite soldiers on the left and right, attacked Yuan Jun's two wings separately.
These two troops are rare and powerful soldiers in the world, and they are simply not something that the Hebei Army in front of them can resist. Under their attack, the soldiers of the Yuan Army fell like grass and grass one after another.
Although he was facing his old master, Zhang He showed no mercy. Although he was one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei in the past, he had no memorable memories among Yuan Shao's army.
On the contrary, what he left behind in the Yuan camp was the deep pain caused by being framed by his colleagues and being jealous of his master.
In Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao gave him enough trust. As the saying goes, a soldier dies for a confidant. Since Cao Cao valued himself so much, of course he would do his best to repay him.
On the other side of the battlefield, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, one holding a broadsword and the other a longbow, were harvesting the lives of Yuan Jun soldiers one after another.
The war situation has developed to this point, and Yuan Shao's situation is over!
Zhao Yun was seen raising his spear, facing General Yuan who appeared in front of him.
That general Yuan was none other than Jiang Yiqu. He had long seen Zhao Yun's god-like martial prowess and knew that he was by no means his enemy.
Jiang Yiqu wanted to escape, but his hands holding the reins were trembling, and he couldn't even gallop his horse back to escape.
Zhao Yun's spear thrust out, like a phoenix flying into the sky. The tip of the spear penetrated Jiang Yiqu's chest easily, and a bright blood flower immediately bloomed in Jiang Yiqu's chest.
Jiang Yiqu's body suddenly fell to the ground, and only endless fear appeared on his dead-eyed face.
At the same time, Yuan Shao's nephew ** was also beheaded by Guan Yu.
More and more soldiers died in the battle, and Yuan Shao's heart was bleeding.
Yuan Shao didn't feel sorry for his soldiers, he just didn't want to see the foundation he had worked so hard to build destroyed.
The results of ten years of fighting turned into nothing but a wisp of clouds. Yuan Shao was really unwilling to do so!
While Yuan Shao was anxious, the outer perimeter of Yuan's army had been broken through by Cao's army, and Cao's army was now pointing directly at Yuan Shao's central army.
Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed straight towards Yuan Shao in the distance. The other generals in Cao Ying were not willing to lag behind and charged towards Yuan Shao's location one after another.
