Chapter 67 The Heavens Don't Die, I Cao Mengde

Chunyu Qiong is still a good general under Yuan Shao's account, but the good general under Yuan Shao's account is much different from the good general under Cao Cao's account.

If he was a Le Jin, although Chunyu Qiong might not be able to beat him, it is very likely that he would want to run away. However, with Yu Jin, he really has no ability to break through.

War will kill people, and killing ordinary soldiers has little effect on improving morale, so the general's head is quite valuable in this era.

The growth process of each general is actually accompanied by the heads of countless enemy generals.

What is the easiest way to prove that you are strong? Isn’t it just to kill a very strong enemy general on the battlefield?

Less than half an hour later, the battle that had been ongoing since midnight was approaching the end of the fire in the middle of the military camp.

Cao Cao was standing at the front of the battlefield, and Xu Chu was beside him.

Under his horse's hooves, two heads were thrown, and the expression on the head was still frozen at the moment before death, but no one would study their expression before death.

The owners of the two heads were Chunyu Qiong, and Jiang Qi, who came to support him later.

Jiang Qi didn't even expect that the Cao army would have no intention of retreating after burning almost all of their food and supplies, but instead regarded himself as prey.

This battle has come to an end.

"Sikong, except for those who were killed by our army, the enemy has fled in all directions, and the enemy's food, grass and supplies have also been burned out. Will our army withdraw?"

"How much does our army suffer?"

"Sikong, our army lost more than 2,000 cavalry in this battle, killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers, and killed more than 10 enemy generals. Yuan Shao's grain transport officer Chunyu Qiong and reinforcement general Jiang Qi were all killed by our army!"

"Okay! Clean the battlefield and bury the soldiers who died in our army. Then, the troops will return to Guandu and the scouts sent back to inquire should come back..."

A small half of the five thousand cavalry lost, and Cao Cao's heart was also twitching. These were all his trump card.

However, he also understood that burning Yuan Shao's food and grass this time was enough to make Yuan Shao's army unsustainable.

As long as Cao Hong and Xun You of Guandu can withstand the attack of Yuan Shao's main army, even if this disaster has passed, even if there is no Liu Xie, they can press forward step by step with their backs against Xuchang and eventually defeat Yuan Shao.

Just as Cao Cao was just rushing back, news about Guandu had already come.

"Sikong, as you expected, after Yuan Shao learned that our army had a surprise attack on Wuchao, he sent General Zhang He and Gao Lan to lead tens of thousands of troops to Guandu. Fortunately, General Cao Hong was prepared and relied on the fortifications built by our army in the past few months to firmly resist the two of them! The enemy was exhausted and had no food and grass, so he could last for at most two days!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao finally slowly vomited out a breath of anger gathered in his chest. This plan was done!

The news reached Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's ears, but the same thing was quite different from Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"What? Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi all died in battle? Didn't Cao Cao bring five thousand cavalry? Their men and horses together had 20,000 people? Why did they reach this? Why did they reach this?"

Yuan Shao almost went crazy after hearing this. He would lose his food and grass. However, as long as Jiang Qi could drive Cao Cao back, his morale would still be on their side. Now, he was not only unable to get the others back, but also directly took his life and other life.

Guo Tu stood in front of Yuan Shao, and cold sweat slowly flowed down his face.

He made this plan. When Yuan Shao came to his senses, could he still have his own good fruits to eat?

You know, Ju Su hasn't said even a few words to Yuan Shao these days, who can he give the blame to? Guo Tu's head is running rapidly.

"What should I do now? Our army's food and grass are almost gone. Has the past few months been wasted? Now let me lead my army back to Yecheng?"

Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu about this sentence before questioning himself.

Guo Tu walked out slowly with his waist a few steps, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. It was not that he was showing off in front of Yuan Shao, but that he was really nervous.

"Lord, the current strategy is to hope that Zhang He and Gao Lan can break through Guandu, otherwise our army's rations will be burned to death by Cao Cao, and we can only return to the court. But I think that what Zhang He and Gao Lan brought with us were the elites of Hebei, and the number of people far exceeded that of Cao Cao. This plan can also be regarded as seizing Cao Cao's weakness. We still have a chance!"

At the end of the talk, Guo Tu's eyes also lit up, as if he was quite excited about his ability to perform on the spot.

"Okay! Just as you said, I will pass the order! Zhang He and Gao Lan will not be allowed to return unless they capture Guandu. Those who violate the law will be engaged in military law!"

With this order, every adviser below dared to speak out.

Ju Su was also in the team, but as he watched the messenger walk out with quick little steps, his lips moved, but he didn't make any sound. His eyes were filled with disappointment when he looked at Yuan Shao.

To this day, Ju Su finally understood why Tian Feng just didn't come to participate in this battle, because Tian Feng had been with Yuan Shao for a long time, and he had already foresaw the end of this battle.

He looked at Guo Tu who was relieved after Yuan Shao turned around and left, and he was smiling, wishing he could go up and chop him with a sword, but in the end Ju Su didn't do that. In his heart, Guo Tu was no longer worthy of his sword.

Cao Cao slowly walked towards Guandu with his troops, and while walking, he was exploring the news about Guandu and Yuan Shao's army. Just as they spent several times more time than usual, they finally reached more than ten miles from the battlefield, the scout rushed to him with a man.

Cao Cao recognized that the man was Cao Hong's deputy general.

"How about Guandu?" Cao Cao still didn't say anything nonsense.

"Sikong, Zhang He and Gao Lan led their troops to attack for several hours, with heavy casualties, but our army relied on the fortifications built before to resist, and Guandu was as solid as a god! Today, Yuan Shao suddenly issued a death order to Zhang He and Gao Lan, giving them no return to the army. The two attacked for another two or three hours, and there were still heavy casualties. Later, Zhang He asked to see Sikong in front of the battle, and wanted to rebel Yuan Shao at the time of the battle and surrender to Sikong!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a while.

"Hahahaha, I, Cao Mengde, will never destroy you!"
