Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 750 Two Flames
When Yuan Shao heard the battle report that Wuchao was completely destroyed by fire, he was very excited.But when he finally finished listening to the battle report, he completely lost his composure. In front of all the civil and military personnel in the camp, he swung his sword and cut off the messenger angrily: "Idiots, a group of idiots! The emperor of the Han Dynasty is trapped!" Wu Chao, you didn't detain him!"

His roar directly hit the point of the mission's failure: whether it was Chunyu Qiong's defection, Qu Yi's execution, or the main force of Yuan's army being ambushed by Xiahou Dun in Wuchao, none of these were considered failures.The biggest failure is that he just watched the opportunity to dominate the world and slipped out of his hands!

As a powerful lord ruling the north, Yuan Shao would not care about how many conspiracies and dangers there were in the battle of Wuchao. He only knew that this time he not only lost, but also lost very badly!

"Guo Gongze, what else do you have to say about this matter!" Yuan Shao pointed the blood-dripping sword directly at Guo Tu. At this moment, he was so angry that he didn't mind killing another person to vent his anger.

Even so, he knew venting his anger would not help.But this will make him feel better.

Guo Tu immediately bowed down at Yuan Shao's feet, his body trembling like a quail in the cold wind: "Duke Ming, the matter of Wuchao has come to an end, and the sophistry of your subordinates is useless. The most urgent thing is to make a quick decision, don't make the situation worse." It's better to get out of hand..."

When Yuan Shao heard this, his long sword whined suddenly, and he wanted to take Guo Tu's head.But at this moment, Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others suddenly bowed down in unison: "Ming Gong, although you have committed the crime of not knowing what happened, you can't be guilty of death. Besides, Gong Ze is justified. And venting anger doesn’t help.”

Yuan Shao's angry long sword stopped on Guo Tu's neck. At this moment, he really regretted it, and his heart ached: In order to prevent the Yuan family from being attacked by factions, he took pains to keep Yingchuan's faction that has always been low-key and forbearing. Just counting on the success of this battle.Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be that the Yingchuan faction was the dominant queen, and they united to fight against themselves!
What's even more hateful is that he still has to hold back this breath!
After all, since the start of the war, Yuan Jun's strategy has been wrong again and again.If it is said that he was able to shirk all his mistakes on faction differences before, but he failed one after another, it must be reminiscent of his unclear control and lack of control.And this point can be said to be Yuan Shao's last fig leaf now, he must not lose completely at this time.

Yuan Shao, who was inexplicably sad and indignant, had no choice but to raise his head to the sky and scream angrily, and threw the sword in his hand aside angrily: "Well, the matter has come to this, what else can you do to save it?!"

As soon as these words came out, the big tent was immediately silent again.Now that the situation is so dire, it is really not the time to offer advice, not to mention that everyone knows that once the words are spoken, the price will be death.After all, Yuan Shao was angry at them for their lack of strategy, but they also had lessons learned from Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and they knew how much Yuan Shao cherished face.

At this moment, Yuan Jun's tent became a dangerous and strange whirlpool.Everyone struggled and shouted in it, trying their best to avoid being drawn into the vortex.

But Yuan Shao, who was in the depths of the vortex, couldn't let anyone go. His hateful eyes swept over these civil and military people who were usually arrogant and arrogant, but now they were trembling, like a sharp sword.Finally, the sharp sword pointed at Gao Lan: "Mingtang, what countermeasure do you have, come quickly!"

Gao Lan is the only Jizhou faction left in the tent, and Yuan Shao's inquiry has already shown his resentment towards Yingchuan's faction.At this time, Yuan Shao had already realized that when the Jizhou faction was in power, although most of them were defeated by Cao Jun, those failures did not affect the overall situation after all.

However, Gao Lan at this moment would not regard Yuan Shao's favor as luck.He stepped forward and clasped his fists together, and only said the most moderate way: "My lord, only we know that there is no food in the Wuchao, and none of the soldiers under our command know anything. And the emperor of the Han Dynasty has come out, and the Han Cao army will definitely not sit on the sidelines and wait for rabbits. If I wait for all the elite troops to rush to Wuchao, we may find the main force of the Han Cao and fight for victory!"

"Duke Ming must not do it!" Guo Tu jumped up again at this time, which was almost a conditioned reflex.But when he yelled this sentence and met Yuan Shao's angry eyes, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty is cunning, Cao Mengde is treacherous, and Han Cao is now in charge of the situation. Ordinary countermeasures will inevitably be defeated by the Han Cao army."

Yuan Shao resisted the urge to kill, but he had to admit that Guo Tu's words made sense: Indeed, they knew that Wuchao had no food, but all the soldiers under their command didn't.If all the troops rush to Wuchao, the soldiers will lose their morale when they see the fire in Wuchao. Han Cao can easily defeat all his troops in a decisive battle.

"Then according to what the law says, what should we do at this time?" Yuan Shao hated to pinch his thigh so that he could bear to listen to Guo Tu's voice.

"At this time, the Han Cao army will come out in full force, but we can let General Gao personally lead an army to bypass the Wuchao and attack the Han Cao camp. As long as the Han Cao camp is broken, the Han Cao army will be terrified. If we go straight to attack Chenliu, we can still turn defeat into victory in this battle!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shao clenched his fists, his expression ferocious: "I will believe you and wait for another time! Mingtang, hurry up and rush the frontline army to Guandu, and take down the Han Cao camp!"

"No!" Gao Lan obeyed the order loudly, but in fact, he had no confidence in his heart without fighting for the first time.

At this time, in the dark night, Liu Xie, who had escaped, was still running non-stop.After completely leaving the Wuchao battlefield, they had been galloping for more than half an hour.

At this time, the dense clouds covering the sky had quietly dispersed, and a few rays of moonlight cast down, diluting the ink-like darkness a bit.The field seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver powder, exuding a dark and not dazzling light.Whether it is rolling hills or sparse woods, you can have a panoramic view.

At this moment, Xu Huang looked at the fields and woods in front of him, and couldn't help becoming confused again: because the direction the Han army was advancing at this time was not Guandu at all.

Fortunately, there is a little friend beside him who will answer his questions at any time: "Boy Sima, where are we going? Guandu is not in this direction..."

However, this time, Sima Yi's answer made Xu Huang even more depressed.Because after Sima Yi turned his head like a wolf, he showed the same smile as Liu Xie, and said the same two words: "Guess..."

"Guess what..." Xu Huang complained, and could only continue to run behind Liu Xie without saying a word.

Finally, after running for another stick of incense, Xu Huang saw a high slope in front of him.At this time, Xu Huang immediately took out the map and looked carefully, and saw that as long as he turned over this slope, he could see Yangwu.But Xu Huang still didn't understand why it was necessary for the emperor to visit this important place that Yuan Jun had abandoned long ago.

However, when Xu Huang drove his horse to the top of the slope, the moment he climbed to the top, his body swayed, and his face turned red instantly: Yangwu in the distance was shrouded in a large piece of fire, and the scene was very magnificent.The tumbling black smoke went straight up into the night sky, just like the sea that Cao Cao saw when he faced Jieshi in the east, except that the waves were replaced by flames.Standing in this position, you can even smell the aroma of burning corn.A small number of Yuan Jun soldiers stood on the outskirts in despair. It was completely impossible to save the fire.

"there!"

At this time Sima Yi pointed, and Liu Xie followed his finger, and saw that there was a long group of cavalry on the small road beside Yangwu, about several hundred, advancing rapidly towards the south.They were uniformly dressed in gray robes, skilled in riding and fast, like a flashing shadow under the light of the fire.

"That's Cao Jun's tiger and leopard rider!" Xu Huang exclaimed standing behind Liu Xie and Sima Yi.

At this moment, Xu Huang finally understood that Liu Xie was coming here: it turned out that Yuan Jun's real food storage place was this forgotten important place.The transportation here is convenient, convenient for transshipment, and can meet the expenses of a hundred thousand troops; at the same time, it is protected by a mountain depression, and it is easy to keep secret; the Yellow River is in the south, which is convenient for water and fire prevention, and the forest land is convenient for logging. It is really the best place to store grain .

It's a pity that when Chun Yuqiong informed Liu Xie of this confidential news, Cao Cao personally led the tiger and leopard riders to burn this place after the Wuchao fire.Looking back, the fire is still burning in the Wuchao, which is farther away—the two fires are talking to each other in a dance that humans cannot understand in the dark wilderness.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie finally nodded in satisfaction, looked at the dark blue night silence being driven away by a ray of morning light, and said with joy on his face: "Now, I can return to Guandu with peace of mind. There should be another scene there. The mess is waiting for us to clean up..."
