The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 316
When Ma Xian heard Jia Xu's call, he turned his head instinctively. He found that Jia Xu's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his heart, and he was sweating coldly on his back, but he still said calmly: "Your name is wrong, my name is Ma. Xian, whose name is Zhongjun, not Zhongda."

"I'm really sorry, I have a friend named Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, who looks very similar to you, that's why I called him wrong. I'm Jia Xu, and my name is Wenhe. From now on, we will be colleagues." Meaningful smile.

"It's okay, then I'll take my leave first." Ma Xian left in a hurry, Jia Xu's smile made him feel a little uneasy.

After seeing Ma Xian leave, Li Yuancai asked: "Why did Wen He deliberately call Zhong Da just now? Wouldn't that let Ma Xian know that we are suspicious of him, and it will make him more alert."

"My lord, if Ma Xian is really Sima Yi, if someone suddenly calls his real name, he will react involuntarily. Just now I suddenly called Zhong Da from behind, and Ma Xian immediately looked back. This is an instinctive reaction, and I'm [-]% sure of it." He must be Sima Yi." Jia Xu said to himself.

"Although I don't know what his purpose is, he has been incognito in Lumen Academy for three years. He can really hold his breath. I can't believe that this kid is only in his early twenties this year." Li Yuan knew that Ma Xian's purpose must not be simple, otherwise No pseudonyms will be used.

"My lord, there is no need to worry. With me and the military advisor, nothing will happen. We just need to remain unchanged to cope with all changes."

"However, this Ma Xian is indeed a talent. If there is no disagreement, it is worthy of our reuse. Of course, if there is a disagreement, we will not show mercy." What Xi Zhicai values ​​​​is Ma Xian's ability.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, one year later, Li Yuan's army was quite peaceful and did not participate in any battles. Except for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who were still fighting fiercely, the rest of the country was relatively peaceful. Keep practicing, and I believe that after a while, you will be able to form a good combat effectiveness.

At this time, the struggle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had entered a fierce stage. In March, Yuan Shao marched into Liyang and sent General Yan Liang to besiege Baima to ensure that the main force could cross the river smoothly. Cao Cao adopted Xun You's suggestion and led his army to pretend to be in Yanjin and attack Yuan Shao's rear. Yuan Shao's posture lured Yuan Shao to divide his troops into Yanjin, and then sent general Zhang Liao to attack the white horse to attack him unprepared. Yan Liang rushed to the battle and was defeated by Zhang Liao and captured. Yuan's army was defeated and dispersed.

After Zhang Liao fled, he turned to Cao Cao as Li Yuan expected. With his extraordinary talent, he quickly won the important task of Cao Cao. In this battle of white horses, Zhang Liao made his first contribution. He not only beat Yuan Shao's army hard, but also captured Yan Liang, one of the four court pillars in Hebei. , severely damaged Yuan Shao's spirit.

The reason why Zhang Liao turned to Cao Cao was to use Cao Cao's power to defeat Li Yuan and avenge Lu Bu. As long as he defeated Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's army would go south, and then he would fight Li Yuan in a showdown, and he would kill Li Yuan himself.

Soon after Zhang Liao won the White Horse, Cao Cao led his troops to lure Wen Chou's troops in Yanjin. Wen Chou's troops were numerous, with a total of 6000 people, while Cao Cao had only 600 people, one-tenth of them. Some generals were afraid of being defeated and wanted to escape. , but Xun You strongly opposed it. He ordered the soldiers to leave supplies while fleeing to disperse the enemy's team.

Xun You's trick really worked. Wen Chou's soldiers caught up and saw the supplies on the ground, and immediately gave up the pursuit and stopped to fight for the supplies. Cao Cao saw the opportunity and immediately ordered the soldiers to go back to counterattack. Wen Chou was killed by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. Defeated again, Wen Chou was captured, Cao Cao won this battle with less, and defeated Yuan Shao again.

However, although Cao Jun defeated Yuan Jun twice in Baima and Yanjin, Yuan Shao's army marched in company battalions, tens of miles from east to west, and built a settlement based on sand piles, so the overall situation was still unfavorable to Cao Jun, because Yuan Shao had far more troops than Cao Cao. There were too many, and finally Cao Cao decided to retreat to Guandu.

The armies of the two sides fought each other in Guandu for several months, and Cao Jun's food and grass were gradually exhausted. When Cao Cao was in trouble, Xu You, Yuan Shao's counselor, failed to plan a surprise attack on Yuan Shao and his family members in Hebei were arrested for breaking the law. He felt remorse and ran to seek refuge. Cao Cao, offer a plan for Cao Cao to attack Wuchao, because Yuan Jun's food and grass are all in Wuchao, as long as Wuchao is broken, Yuan Jun will have no food to use.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he learned about it. At this time, he remembered one thing, that is, Li Yuan also told him that he had to use a sneak attack on the grain and grass to defeat Yuan Shao in order to fight Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was also frightened into a cold sweat when he recalled it now. He deeply felt that Li Yuan was far-sighted, and had already thought of a strategy to deal with Yuan Shao several years ago. Cao Cao knew that even if he could defeat Yuan Shao, he was not sure of defeating Li Yuan, but this battle still had to be fought.

Cao Cao personally led 5000 elite riders. Everyone brought fire tools, changed into Yuan Jun's clothes, and attacked Wuchao by night from the alley. After arriving at Wuchao, he immediately ordered to set fire everywhere.

Yuan Shao hurriedly sent troops to rescue when he knew about it, but he thought that Cao Cao was attacking Wuchao, which proved that Cao Jun's camp had no soldiers to use, so not many soldiers were sent to rescue Wuchao. He led most of the soldiers and horses to take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao's camp. If he can successfully break through Cao Cao's camp, the victory will be his.

However, the fire in Wuchao was fierce, and Yuan Shao sent few rescuers. In the end, they could not stop the bravery of Cao's soldiers. Cao Cao defeated Yuan's army in Wuchao, beheaded Chunyu Qiong and many other generals, and burned up their food and grass.

After Cao Cao broke Wuchao, Yuan Shao was still attacking Cao Cao's camp with heavy troops. However, he did not expect that Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao's troops was actually very small. Instead, he left most of the soldiers and horses in the camp.

Just when Yuan Shao was anxious, the news came that Wuchao fell and all the food and grass had been burned, causing Yuan Jun's army to be in a state of confusion, and many soldiers began to flee. Yuan Shao was able to suppress it at first, but as the food became less and less , In the end, there was no food available, and the army finally began to collapse, and even Yuan Shao couldn't stop it.

Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack Yuan Shao's already collapsed army. At this time, Yuan Shao was in no mood to fight Cao Cao, so he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to flee. However, the generals Zhang Xi, Gao Lan and others were still captured, and finally chose to surrender to Cao Cao. Yuan Jun crumble.

Yuan Shao abandoned his army and fled back to the north of the Yellow River. Cao Jun won a complete victory and killed more than 7 Yuan Jun prisoners. Shengduo's defeat of Yuan Shao was a rare victory. After this battle, Yuan's army began to decline, and Cao Cao gradually became prosperous. The unification of Hebei will become a major trend.

Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao at Guandu made him famous, and his prestige even surpassed that of Li Yuan. According to this development, he will eventually unify Hebei. The princes of all places were deeply disturbed when they heard the news, because everyone except Li Yuan was optimistic. Yuan Shao, but now Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with fewer victories and more, proving his strength and determination to the world.
