"Yuan Shao did not do anything wrong by placing the army's food and fodder in Wuchao. It's just that his enemy is Sikong. Sikong dares to do what others dare not do."

Although the march was urgent, Zhang Liao beside Guan Yu still had a calm face, holding the reins in his hand and talking to Guan Yu next to him with a smile.

Maybe it was because they were old acquaintances with Guan Yu when they were under Lu Bu, or maybe they were both generals discovered by Cao Cao from the defeated army. Since Guan Yu was made a partial general, Zhang Liao was closer to him, at least than those with the surname Cao and others.

Those with the surname Xiahou are much stronger.

It is true that Guan Yu is a little arrogant, but he is not withdrawn, and he is reasonable and reasonable. It is good to have a friend like Zhang Liao.

"Sikong is indeed brave enough that no one in the world would dare, but speaking from common sense, it seems that it is not so urgent. Our army has been building a defense line in Guandu for several months. If we can make a surprise attack and cut off food, we don't have to wait until today."

Guan Yu also expressed his opinion quite calmly.

The biggest difference between the two of them and other generals is that they think about some issues like counselors. According to Cao Cao's criteria for selecting generals, most of those under his command are generals, but Zhang Liao and Guan Yu can grow into handsome men.

of.

"Yun Chang feels it too?"

Zhang Liao saw that there were no other people around them, so he asked in a low voice.

Guan Yu nodded slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"If this plan fails, I'm afraid we will be in trouble."

Waiting for Zhang Liao was still Guan Yu's slight nod. Zhang Liao shook his head and rode away. He was a smart man. Although Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and followed the army to defeat Wen Chou, Zhang Liao understood that his heart was still not with Cao Cao.

camp.

After midnight, the 10,000 soldiers escorting the grain and grass led by Chun Yuqiong had camped and slept around the grain and grass. Several small teams of scouts were on guard outside.

It had been several months since the war with Cao Cao began. He had been responsible for transporting food, grass and baggage, but he had never made any mistakes.

This place is less than forty miles away from Yuan Shao's camp. Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Shao have the same idea, that is, it is very safe here.

If Cao Cao was not stupid, he would not take advantage of these grains. Even if they were robbed, Yuan Shao's reinforcements would counterattack them within a few steps.

But this night, something happened to him that he had never experienced before.

When approaching Wuchao, Cao Cao ordered all five thousand soldiers to hold grass roots in their mouths, and all the horses' mouths were sealed. After that, regardless of where Yuan Jun's scouts were, he directly ran at full speed towards the military camp of ten thousand horses and killed them.

passed.

Cao Cao made it clear before the action that this wave was to use the impact of the cavalry to break open the camp, go straight to the point, and light the fire to be considered a success.

Chunyu Qiong was still sleeping when he heard rapid footsteps and shouts coming from outside his account. It took him a long time to tell that this was indeed not a dream.

But when he put on his clothes and armor and walked out of his tent, he found that Cao's army under the banner of Yuan Shao's army had broken into the camp, and everyone was rushing to where the food and grass were.

"No! Cao's army is plundering food and grass. Stop them quickly. They are just thousands of light cavalry. We have more soldiers. Don't panic!"

While Chun Yuqiong mounted his horse to organize the panicked soldiers to fight back, he also ordered his people to quickly inform Yuan Shao of the news and ask for reinforcements. After all, these were infantry he brought with him to transport food and grass, and their combat effectiveness was still not as good as that of the real ace.

Less.

But Cao Cao's soldiers didn't care about so many. They used their impact power to work in small groups with very clear goals. Along the way, the gods blocked the gods and the demons blocked the demons. Although Chunyu Qiong had many soldiers, he knew it at a glance.

, it was only a matter of time before the enemy captured the food and grass.

But as the chief grain transporter, of course he couldn't run away by himself at this time. In that case, he would be the one to blame for the loss of grain and fodder.

Under such circumstances, Chunyu Qiong could only grit his teeth and mount his horse to fight with Cao Jun, hoping in his heart that reinforcements would come soon.

It is obviously not an easy task for five thousand cavalry to complete the burning of grain and grass against the resistance of 10,000 people. These Yuan Jun soldiers are like an iron barrel formation, and it will take two hours to kill them all.

The advantage of being close is evident at this time.

Chunyu Qiong sent his cronies to gallop all the way. When they arrived at Yuan Shao's camp, they did not dare to neglect and informed Yuan Shao of the matter as soon as possible.

But after Yuan Shao heard about this, apart from the normal shock and anger, he did not immediately order a rescue. Instead, he called Guo Tu and other advisers over and began to discuss countermeasures. Among these people,

There is no judgment.

"My lord, Cao Cao is jumping over the wall! It seems that he is plotting our food and grass, but it is a great opportunity for us. If he really leads his army to plunder food and grass, the guards of his camp will be empty.

Lords, you can send the main force of our army to attack Cao Jun’s camp immediately, and use some light cavalry to break the siege of Wuchao! Once Guandu is broken, Cao Cao will be a lost dog!"

Guo Tu's little eyes rolled around and he told him such a plan at that time.

When Yuan Shao heard the word Guandu, he thought of nothing else. The decisive energy that had not come up before suddenly came to him.

"Send the order! Zhang He, Gao Lan and the main force of our army rush to Guandu immediately. They must capture Cao Cao's camp! As for Wuchao... just order Jiang Qi to bring 10,000 light cavalry!"

When these counselors saw that this plan was Guo Tu's, Yuan Shao agreed so quickly. They didn't dare to say anything more. They all gave Yuan Shao a thumbs up and sent the order.

The next moment, Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were still in a dazed state, were immediately woken up by the herald. With hazy eyes, they aligned Yuan Shao's main force and marched towards Guandu in a mighty manner.

And Jiang Qi also rushed to Wuchao with 10,000 cavalry who were not the main force without knowing the details of Cao Cao.

It was forty miles, eighty miles back and forth. When Jiang Qikankan arrived near Wuchao, he saw a huge fire burning in the place where the food, grass and baggage were supposed to be stored.

They are not here to rob food, they are clearly here to burn it!

Jiang Qi's heart immediately turned cold. No matter what, as long as the food and grass were gone, Chunyu Qiong would be the first to blame, and he would be the second worst offender.

"Damn it! Charge! Kill a few generals of Cao's army, or we will all be punished!"

Jiang Qi's idea was good, but he actually overestimated his abilities.

"Sikong, the food and grass have been burned. Our losses are not big. In my opinion, we should go back. The scouts reported that Yuan Shao sent about 10,000 light cavalry to reinforce. At this time, we are only a few miles away."
