Chapter 511 The overall situation is determined.
Yanjin.
Yuan Jun camp.
Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the camp, his face full of anxiety. Since the blazing fire was ignited in the direction of Wuchao, Yuan Shao's heart has never been stable for a moment.
Yuan’s army was all in Wuchao. If something happened to Wuchao, then his hundreds of thousands of troops would be completely gone.
Yuan Shao was very anxious, but the scouts sent to inquire about the news had not been heard for a long time. This made Yuan Shao have no choice but to be anxious.
"Report..."
"Report to the King of Wei that a small group of Cao's army infiltrated into Wuchao City. Wuchao guard Chunyu Qiong misunderstood the incident. The food and grass in Wuchao City have been burned by Cao's army."
I saw that Yuan Shao, who had sent a scout to Wuchao to inquire about the news, rushed in from outside in a hurry and knelt in front of Yuan Shao to report the report.
"What?"
"Wuchao's grain and grass were burned by Cao's army?"
"Chunyu Qiong, this Chunyu Qiong is a big deal and I have to kill this guy!" Yuan Shao shouted loudly.
Yuan Shao was so angry that he really wanted to give Chunyu Qiong a knife.
However, this is not the time to hold the responsibility accountable. The food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops were burned to pieces, which is not a trivial matter.
The food and grass reserves in the army cannot last for a few days. At this time, there is only one way to go, that is, withdrawal.
"King of Jin, we have to retreat. Otherwise, within a few days, the army will have no food and will inevitably collapse." Tian Feng bowed to Yuan Shao and said.
However, it is not that easy to leave now, so how could Cao Cao let him leave easily?
"King of Jin, the two sides have already fought in full force at this time. We are afraid that we are trying to retreat now, but we may not be able to retreat!" A side general reminded him from the side.
As soon as these words were said, Yuan Shao lost his main point. After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shao ordered: "Send Ju Yi quickly!"
Although Yuan Shao was not good at marching and fighting, Ju Yi was very good at it. Therefore, Yuan Shao was the first to think of Ju Yi.
At this moment, a rapid footsteps came, and a general covered in blood rushed in.
"King Jin, something is not good."
"Guandu was captured by Cao Ren's army, and General Ju Yi was captured alive." The general Yuan knelt on the ground and reported.
"What......."
"Puff."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt a mouthful of blood rushing into his throat and spurting it outward.
"King of Jin."
"King of Jin."
......
......
Yuan Shao vomited blood and fell into a coma. For a moment, Yuan Jun’s camp became a mess.
This is really a rainy day...
When Yuan Shao fainted, for a moment, there was no one who could be the master of the Yuan army camp.
Tian Feng is a strategist. You can ask him to give advice, but if he wants to make a real idea, Tian Feng is also a little embarrassed.
After all, Tian Feng had never led a single army, and he could not grasp this battlefield situation.
Tian Feng hurriedly called a doctor to treat Yuan Shao, but someone had to come up with an idea at this time.
The Wuchao granary has been burned, and the army has only three days of food and salary. Even if you save money, you can only last for seven days at most.
Now, Yuan Jun can't afford to delay.
After thinking for a moment, Tian Feng immediately ordered: "Hurry, send someone to pass on Zhang He and the two generals Gao Lan will return."
The direction of the Cao army's lord was Guandu, and the actual combat goal was Wuchao. Therefore, the pressure on the Cao army's attack faced by Zhang He and Gao Lan was not very high.
Not long after Tian Feng sent someone to pass the order, the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan returned to the Yuan army camp.
Tian Feng talked about the current situation on the battlefield with the two of them. After hearing that Wuchao was burned, Guandu was lost, and Ju Yi was captured alive, Zhang He and Gao Lan also changed their faces.
Zhang He and Gao Lan are generals, but not generals. They asked them to decide where the hundreds of thousands of troops were going, and for a while, they were a little difficult to make a decision.
After analyzing Zhang He and Gao Lan, they made the most conservative decision.
The entire army retreated slowly, and Gao Lan led 30,000 cavalry to escort Yuan Shao, who was seriously ill and coma, first, and Zhang He led the army to leave later. If Cao's army pursued him, then Zhang He would be responsible for the rear of the palace.
After finally making a decision, Zhang He and Gao Lan began to make a intensive arrangement.
After Cao's army burned the Wuchao granary and obtained Guandu, they also stopped their attack.
At this time, Yuan's army had cut off food. Cao Cao had no need to fight hard. Now Cao's army only needs to hold Yuan's army back, neither fighting for him nor letting him go.
After just a few days of delay, once the Yuan army's food and grass were exhausted, the Yuan army would naturally be defeated.
As the saying goes, trapped beasts are still fighting. If you attack the Yuan army at this time, then the Yuan army, which is short of food, is likely to burn their boats and fight with Cao army.
At that time, even if Cao's army can win, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.
At this time, if you drag on the Cao army, it would be a stable victory.
Yanjin Ferry.
Cao's army camp.
Cao Cao was defeated by Tongguan and was beaten by Ma Chao and was cut off his beard and abandoned his robe. Now, Dian Wei and others have just escorted Cao Cao back to the Yanjin Ferry.
On the way back, Cao Cao was still worried about losing Tongguan and how to fight against the coalition forces between Yuan Shao and Ma Chao.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the army, he heard that his troops had burned Wuchao and took down Guandu.
"Haha!" Cao Cao couldn't help but smiled to the sky.
For Cao Cao, it is really not bright in the east but bright in the west. Although Tongguan was lost, it burned Wuchao and took down Guandu.
Now it seems that Yuan Shao is almost bound to lose, and the loss of Tongguan is nothing.
"Report to the King of Wei, Yuan General Chun Yu Qiong led his army to surrender!"
Just when Cao Cao was proud, Guo Jia came to report to Cao Cao.
"Chunyu Qiong?"
"How could he come to surrender to me?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.
Cao Cao naturally knew the name Chunyu Qiong, and the two were also colleagues. Cao Cao knew that Chunyu Qiong was Yuan Shao's confidant and humerus.
Because Cao Cao went to Tongguan early, he didn't know that Chunyu Qiong was the garrison of Wuchao. Guo Jia talked about the story with Cao Cao.
After hearing Guo Jia's explanation, Cao Cao finally understood that Chunyu Qiong had probably lost Wuchao, and knew that he had also said death when he returned to Yuan Shao. Therefore, he gave up and surrendered to him.
However, to be honest, Cao Cao also didn't want to be a sacrificial and unconventional wine bag like Chunyu Qiong.
If such loyal and righteous people like Ju Yi, Zhang He and Gao Lan will come to join us, Cao Cao will naturally go out to welcome him.
However, if you accept the repeated rice bucket like Chunyu Qiong, wouldn’t it be a fucking mess?
"What do you want him to do with such a waste? I will pass on my order and behead him!"
"As for the soldiers he brought, he will be assigned to the prisoner-of-war camp first." Cao Cao immediately ordered.
Chapter completed!
