Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 727 Wen Chou's Luck

In fact, Yuan and Cao's war in the Central Plains has attracted the attention of the world from the very beginning.However, in May of the fourth year of Xingping, all kinds of strange situations that appeared on this battlefield caused the beards of many onlookers to snap off.

First, Yuan Shaoqi won the victory and took Yanjin in one fell swoop.Then the vanguard approached Baima City, besieged but did not attack, intending to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements.But Yan Liang came out of the army inexplicably, but Cao Jun seized the opportunity and was beheaded by Xu Chu in an encounter.

As a result, Cao Cao immediately led the main force to leave Guandu and approach Baima. Chunyuqiong and Guo Tu, who were besieging Baima, had to break the siege and flee eastward in a hurry.But Yuan Shao's army still stayed in Liyang safely, keeping a calm face.Both sides' actions in the first round were a little erratic.

On the surface, it seems that Cao Jun's main force was exhausted, forcing away the invading army.But only a few keen people have noticed that the order of the two is actually completely different from the imagination.First Yuan Shao's vanguard escaped from the siege, and then Cao Cao's main force reluctantly approached the white horse, like a tiger being dragged out of its lair backwards by its tail.

So far, the battle has begun to unfold slowly.But in the first round of the fight, it is still unknown whether Yuan Shao sacrificed Yan Liang to mess up Cao Cao's position, or whether Cao Cao's outstanding soldiers dispelled Yuan Shao's arrogance.

The only thing the world knows is after this fight.The sleeping crouching tiger of the Han Dynasty finally made a big move at this critical moment: Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty made an oath to sacrifice to the heavenly master at the Du Pavilion in Chang'an, announcing Yuan Shao's rebellion and disobedience, and personally commanded the Han army with [-] imperial troops to conquer!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the world.Since Yuan Shu's usurpation, the Han Dynasty has been keeping a low profile for the past two years.At least, that's how it looks to outsiders.But now this action is really a big move as expected, pointing at Yuan Shao sharply, making the world can't help but secretly speculate: What's wrong with the Yuan family's ancestral tomb, why are the two brothers so unlucky one after another?
But later, people in the world heard about Cao Cao sending his second daughter Cao Jie to Chang'an.It is said that Cao Jie’s dowry consisted of tens of thousands of pieces of silk alone, and the sum of all the dowry was enough to equal a year’s bountiful production of a small country in the Western Regions.Because of this, storytellers in the market all over the world have compiled versions of "Anecdotes about Your Majesty and Cao Cao's Daughter" and "Stories Your Majesty and Cao Daughter Have to Tell".

There were even some bold storytellers, and the version was outrageous: the emperor wanted to be tolerant to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao didn't know how to flatter him, and went all out to find a wife for his beloved son Yuan Shang, but he didn't know that Cao Jie had long admired the emperor.Because of this, the emperor of Han couldn't bear it anymore, and he got angry at the crown for the beauty...

Of course, people in the situation have always dismissed these absurd claims.But in any case, the powerful attack of the Han Dynasty still injected the most powerful vitality into this battlefield.Even if the army of the Han Dynasty arrived at Guandu from Chang'an, it would take half a month.However, Cao Jun, who was passively dragged into Baima City, was also very excited after hearing the news, and there was a tendency to use Baima as his base to beat Yuan Shao back to his lair.Even the deserted trains behind the shore were much more active than usual.

Yuan Shao's side immediately reacted.Yuan Shao ordered Guo Yuan's defeated troops to be led by high-ranking cadres, and continued to guard against the Han Dynasty's attack from Bingzhou on the west side.At the same time, in the face of Cao Cao's arrogance, Yuan Shao reorganized the defeated army, led by Wen Chou, another general who was as famous as Yan Liang, crossed the Yellow River south, and confronted Cao Cao's main force again.As for the majority of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao remained in control of the overall situation in Liyang.

All of a sudden, the city of Baima was filled with flames of war, and countless good generals and famous officials gathered.On the small city, it seems that countless wind and thunder have accumulated, only waiting for the moment when the stone is shocked.

But in Wen Chou's view, these are not the same thing at all.Yuan Cao didn't pay much attention to this battle at first, but since Yan Liang's death, his fighting spirit has undergone a 180-degree change: this time, Wen Chou will make a beautiful turnaround and defeat the "Hebei Double Blades" 'The title is restored.

Therefore, after crossing the river, he aimed at Cao Cao's supply team.

Cao Cao was dragged out of Guandu and arrived at Baima. On the surface, it was indeed a victory against Yuan Jun, but apart from the mobilization of Cao Jun's main force, it was convenient for a decisive battle.Another benefit for Yuan Jun is that their space to capture fighters has been greatly improved.The white horse is much farther away from Chenliu than Guandu, the battle formation is so long, the baggage team must be full of loopholes.Especially at this time, when the white horse is empty and needs a lot of supplies from the rear.

When Wen Chou crossed the Yellow River, it was getting late.Originally, he should have rested here at this time, waiting for Fang Yuan's army to cross the Yellow River tomorrow.But Wen Chou did not do this. He led the troops and continued to drive eastward, hoping to give Cao Cao an unexpected surprise with the help of his tactics.

Along the way, Wen Chou's marching speed was not fast enough, but it was definitely not slow.The scouts kept coming and going, summarizing the surrounding situation to Wen Chou.Until the sun was about to set, Wen Chou finally got the news he wanted: a Cao army's supply team was [-] miles ahead.

Wen Chou spread out the map on the horse, measured it with his fingers, and held his chin in thought.Both he and Yan Liang are famous for their bravery, but in fact, if they are just brave, it is absolutely impossible for them to support such a resounding name as "Hebei Double Blades".At most, they are second-rate figures like Guo Yuan who are brave and intrepid.

But just as Wen Chou was thinking about how to start the first battle of crossing the river, another scout turned over and galloped over with unstoppable surprise on his face.Wen Chou has never had a good impression of this kind of guy without a city chest, but after listening to the scout's report, his gloomy face also became agitated.

"General, the general who escorted the baggage this time is Cao Cao!"

It was this sentence that made Wen Chou skip the idea of ​​whether to attack the supply team in his mind.Doubtless, the question now became how to best beat the train: after all, this kind of thing is like fishing for a few small fish for soup, only to catch a golden turtle instead!
Such an unexpected joy, even Wen Chou, who was full of hatred, couldn't help the ecstasy that hit his chest violently: If this time to kill...no, Cao Cao is captured alive, then the Central Plains War will come to an end!

"How many people are there in this supply team?" Wen Chou tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and asked the scouts behind him.

"There are about [-] civilian husbands, but there are [-] tiger and leopard riders escorting them."

Wen Chou nodded, and fell into silence again: Obviously, this supply team is probably the bait.Generally, those who escorted luggage would choose infantry escorts. It is not normal at all to march with tigers and leopards mixed with infantry and horses.

But the problem is that Cao Cao's use of troops does not stick to ancient methods. If he created this method of transportation, it is not impossible.After all, cavalry escorts also have advantages, that is, once they are attacked, they can quickly leave the battlefield.And if there is an ambush near this baggage, it can completely repel the stuttering incoming troops...

Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on Wen Chou's lips.He had roughly expected that Cao Cao wanted to use this method to deliver as much baggage as possible to Baima City.It is even possible that Cao Cao personally escorted the luggage this time to test this escort method.

Don't say why Cao Cao would take such a risk.Troubled times have already changed a lot of things. In the past, the sons of daughters did not sit in the court, but now the emperors of the Han Dynasty have to drive their own conquests. Cao Cao only escorted the luggage once, which is not so unusual.

The only thing Wen Chou has to consider now is how to seize this god-given opportunity to completely reverse the situation of this battle.Fortunately, he does have some solutions.Immediately, he swiped his pen like flying, wrote a few orders, and several messengers left the team like flying, and ran towards different directions.

Finally, when the time entered midnight, the scouts reported to Wen Chou that the supply team was camping in a mountain depression ten miles ahead.Wen Chou immediately ordered the whole army to string their bows, unhook their spears, and unhook their shields from their backs.At the same time, the horse was bitten, and the people silenced, approaching the camp quietly.

However, at this moment, a cry of killing suddenly came from behind Wen Chou.The sound of the galloping horses immediately shattered the silence of midnight, and the shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains just reached their ears, and then Wen Chou's rear team began to scream horribly.

A pod of blood bloomed suddenly in the dark night, this encounter where both were plotting against each other finally broke out!
