Chapter 162
Guandu, Yuan Ying.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Yuan Tan was full of shame and knelt down in front of Yuan Shao.
Looking at this uncompetitive son, Yuan Shao loved and hated, and his mood was complicated.
Seeing him come back alive, as a father, Yuan Shao was naturally relieved in his heart.
But thinking that he lost his troops and lost his generals, not to mention that he was captured alive by Liu Beisheng and lost his face, Yuan Shao was angry.
"My son was negligent for a while, and he fell into Xiao Yuan's trick by mistake and fell into the hands of Liu Bei, which humiliated his father, and asked his father to punish him!"
Yuan Tan knocked on his forehead and pleaded with Yuan Shao nervously.
Yuan Shao frowned deeply, his fists clenched, and he had the urge to step forward and whip him a few times.
"My lord, I think it's no wonder that the eldest prince is no wonder. "
Who would have thought that Xiao Yuan would suddenly appear in Xuzhou to help Guan Yu with advice. "
"What's more, his plan to attack Qingzhou by sea is really an unprecedented scheme, even if we are all here, we may not be able to see through it. "
"The eldest prince lost to that Xiao Yuan, and he was also willing. "
Guo Tu was busy standing up and excusing Yuan Tan.
Xin Bi and other Ruying gang strategists spoke out one after another to help Yuan Tan shake the pot.
Yuan Shao's eyes were annoyed, and only then did he ease slightly.
"That's it, that Xiao Yuan is really not something you can handle, it's good if you come back alive, get up. "
Yuan Tan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up03, and obediently stepped aside, not daring to say anything more.
"Our plan was broken by the Cao thief. "
"The authentic plan is also seen through for it. "
"The battle has been fought so far, and we are the ones who have suffered, and the Cao thief has not lost a battle. "
"Let's talk about it, how should the next battle be fought?"
Yuan Shao's thoughts returned to the battle in front of him, and he was quite dissatisfied with the strategists.
Guo Tu, Xin Bi and other strategists all bowed their heads and looked ashamed.
"Don't worry, my lord, although Cao Cao has won a few battles, he has nothing to do with the overall situation. "
"According to our secret report in Xudu, Cao Thief's grain and grass can only last for two months at most, and now it has reached the end of the strong crossbow. "
"Even if we don't do anything, just go down with the thief Cao, and after two months, he will run out of food and grass, and he will definitely be defeated without a fight!"
"I think that what the lord wants to do is to continue to confront the Cao thief and strengthen the vigilance of my Wuchao grain camp. "
"The rest is just waiting for the thief to collapse on his own. "
In the silence, Frustrated Confession's voice was calm, and he offered a plan.
The voice fell.
Guo Tu hurriedly said: "Tu also wants to say this, Cao Thief's biggest weakness is the lack of grain and grass, so we will compete with him for grain and grass!"
"The public rule is reasonable. "
"As soon as the Cao thief's grain and grass are exhausted, even if his official crossing barrier is strong, and no matter how elite and good the soldiers are, it will be difficult to reverse the general trend of defeat!"
Feng Ji also took advantage of the situation to follow.
Yuan Shao's brows gradually relaxed, and a confident intention appeared on his face.
"You have a point!"
"The old man holds the four states in his hands, and there are many soldiers and enough food, so why bother to rush to win a decisive victory with Cao Thief. "
"The old man is like him, and he is thicker than whoever!"
So, Yuan Shao cheered up and continued to attack the Cao army in Guandu.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Shao's grain and grass collected in Wuchaotun have reached as many as one million.
Yuan's army had sufficient food and grass, the soldiers were well fed and drunk, and although their morale did not rise sharply, they could barely hold on.
Cao Jun's life was not so good.
Although Guanlong was pacified, after years of disasters by the generals of Liangzhou, the population was lost, the people's livelihood withered, and self-sufficiency was still reluctant, not to mention the supply of grain and grass for Cao Cao.
In the three states of Yanyu Division, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, and the poison of the princes' melee, the people also fled and the land was barren.
And the county guards, many of whom are protégés of the Yuan family, have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, all kinds of prevarication and delay, and refuse to supply grain to the front line of Guandu.
Although Cao Cao implemented Tuntian in the Yingchuan area, the income from Tuntian alone was a drop in the bucket, and it could not meet the needs of tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line.
When the army was fighting for nearly five months, Cao's army's logistical supply was already difficult.
In order to alleviate the food shortage, Cao Cao had to order that the rations of the soldiers be halved.
As a result, the soldiers naturally complained, and the morale of the army became lower and lower.
The situation of the Battle of Guandu was already stormy for Cao Cao.
Cao Ying, inside the tent of the Chinese army.
"Sikong, we can't afford to sit back any longer. "
"Our army's food and grass have been less than a month, and if it continues to be consumed like this, our army will collapse without a fight!"
Cheng Yu reminded worriedly. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Cao Cao frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What did Xun Wenruo say?"
Xun Lingjun just asked the lord to continue to insist, and if necessary, he could use surprise weapons to win, and he didn't say anything to break the game. "
Cheng Yu sighed.
"Insist on persevering, if I can persevere, do I still need to ask Wen Ruo for countermeasures..."
Cao Cao's fists were clenched, and his eyes showed helplessness.
Guo Jia also sighed: "I didn't expect Liu Bei to release Yuan Tan back, and he didn't take advantage of the victory to capture Qingzhou, otherwise Yuan Shaoyan would be able to confront our army here." "
"Fengxiao, this must be your strategy, which was seen through by that Xiao Yuan. "
"Liu Bei is determined to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. "
Cao Cao sighed lightly and broke Liu Bei's intentions.
Guo Jia was silent.
Cao Hong scolded: "That big-eared thief is so confident, we were destroyed by Yuan Shao, and he can resist Yuan Shao with his own strength?"
Cao Cao's eyes swept into confusion: "Yes, according to Xiao Yuan's knowledge, he shouldn't not understand this truth." "
The people in Cao Ying were all suspicious and puzzled, and there were many discussions for a while.
"Now, it's impossible to rely on Liu Bei, we can only rely on ourselves!"
"Sikong, it's time to win!"
Guo Jia's tone became resolute.
Cao Cao perked up and hurriedly asked, "What kind of trick does Feng Xiao have?"
"Yuan Shao's grain and grass are all gathered in Wuchao, if Sikong can send a surprise army to attack Wuchao and burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, we will have a chance to turn things around!"
Guo Jia pointed to the map with his hand and cut it blankly.
Cao Cao was awakened, got up suddenly, and threw himself in front of the map.
"Burn the black nest, burn the black nest, 523 is good, this is indeed a clever plan to put it to death and live later!"
Cao Cao muttered to himself, excitement burning in his eyes.
"Wuchao is the important place of Yuan Shao's grain camp, and Yuan Shao will definitely send heavy troops to guard it. "
"What's more, this place is far away from Guandu seventy miles away, and Yuan Shao will definitely set up many checkpoints along the way, if our army wants to succeed in the sneak attack on Wuchao, unless we know the secrets of Yuan Jun's defense, I am afraid that there is little hope!"
Cheng Yu poured a scoop of cold water.
Cao Cao was slapped on the head, and the excitement in his eyes was instantly extinguished.
"Even if there is little hope, it is better than sitting still!"
"Take a risk, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory, otherwise we can only wait for death!"
Guo Jia said in a fierce voice.
Cheng Yu was dumb.
The worries in Cao Cao's eyes were dispelled, and his blood boiled.
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, even if the chance is slim, I have to give it a go!"
"Pass the order, tonight I will personally lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Wuchao and burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass!"
In the big tent, everyone was shocked.
No one objected anymore, and in everyone's hearts, a sense of tragedy arose.
They knew that Cao Cao and they had been driven to the edge of the cliff.
Success or failure is Cao Cao's leap.
"I'm willing to fight to the death for Sikong!"
"I'm willing to fight to the death for Sikong!"
In the big tent, an impassioned cry sounded.
At nightfall.
Five thousand Cao troops quietly came out of the camp, and under the cover of night, they rolled north, and went straight to the black nest.
