Chapter 168
At noon, Guandu.
The Yuan camp, which stretched for several miles, was already full of corpses.
More than half of the 200,000 Yuan troops were killed and wounded, as many as 60,000 surrendered, and only tens of thousands of those who escaped were lucky enough to escape.
Nearly wiped out.
Cao Cao rode his horse, stepped on the broken battle flag of Yuan, and entered the Yuan camp.
The soldiers of the Cao Army, who had survived the bloody battle, bowed down to him violently, and the cheers like a tsunami from the mountains resounded through the heavens and the earth.
"The main force of the Yuan army was completely annihilated, and even if Yuan Shao fled back to Yecheng, it would be difficult to recover without three years. "
"Sikong took advantage of the victory to cross the Yellow River and unify Hebei, which is already easy. "
Cao Yuan beside him drew a blueprint for Cao Cao.
"Ziyou, Ziyou, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be me who would be wiped out now. "
"This Cao family's country has half of yours, you and I share it!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he actually said the words shared by the country.
Cao Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Sikong's words can be far away, the country is the country of the Cao family, and it is just a courtier, so how dare you share it with Sikong." "
"This country is not just shared, it will be yours sooner or later..."
Cao Cao looked at his son with a restless expression and smiled secretly in his heart.
The iron horses in front of them are rolling and galloping.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao returned with their cavalry.
"Qi Qi Sikong, the last general according to the plan of Ziyou's military division, took the first step to capture Jishui Dutou, and sure enough, intercepted Yuan Shao, who abandoned the camp and fled. "
"I'm waiting to capture Yuan Shao alive, I've brought him back, please send him down!"
Zhao Yun stepped forward to report.
Zhang Liao drank the soldiers and dragged Yuan Shao up.
Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's embarrassed appearance, and he was full of emotion in his heart, and ordered Yuan Shao to be untied.
"At the beginning, the tiger prison was closed, and we finally met again. "
Cao Cao sighed softly.
Yuan Shao raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw Cao Cao for a moment, his body froze.
In Luoyang City that year, they fought side by side, exterminated the eunuchs, and supported the dynasty.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, they raised the banner of righteousness to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
was once a friend who shared adversity with him, but now he is an incompatible mortal enemy.
It's a pity that it was not him Yuan Shao who had the last laugh.
Cao Cao!
Although he admires talent, he despises his background.
Now he is standing in front of him as a victor.
And he, but he lost to nothing, and knelt in front of Cao Cao as a prisoner.
This reversal of status made Yuan Shao feel like a thousand arrows piercing his heart!
He gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet, holding his head high, trying to maintain his noble self-esteem.
"At the beginning, you relied on yourself as the fourth world and the third prince, raised your arms and shouted, and the world returned to your heart. "
"But I didn't expect that in the end, I was defeated in the hands of Cao Cao. "
Cao Cao's expression did not hide his sarcasm.
Yuan Shao's face was red, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Apu, if you are lucky and get the help of Cao Yuan's treacherous thief, how can the old man lose to you!"
"Ridiculous!"
Cao Yuan took a step forward and sneered: "Yuan Shao, just with your talent and strategy, do you really think that without Cao Yuan, you will be Cao Gong's opponent?"
Yuan Shao's eyes changed, and he looked up at the young man who was sarcastic at him blankly.
"You think you are clever in power, you let the sons compete for the throne, and connived at the ministers and generals under your command to choose camps, form factions for personal gain, and fight openly and secretly. "
"You think that you are so skilled that you can keep them in check with each other, maintain balance, and no one can shake your power. "
"It's a pity, it's only because you know that you don't have the talent and strategy, and you can't control the heroes under your command, so you can only use this clumsy and low-level means to maintain your authority from being threatened. "
"From the bottom of your heart, you don't have confidence in your own abilities, I'm right. "
Cao Yuan's words were like knives, and he took off all of Yuan Shao's bottoms.
Yuan Shao was exposed to his true heart, as if he was at a loss, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.
"You have neither the wrist nor the strength of the hero, so being able to seize the four states of Hebei is nothing more than relying on the profound heritage of the Yuan family. "
"Do you really think that you really have the ability to defeat Cao Gong?"
Cao Yuan's expression was extremely sarcastic, and he asked coldly.
Yuan Shao's remaining conceit was shattered by Cao Yuan's words.
He was dizzy in front of him, his body staggered, and he fell to the ground.
"Who are you and who are you?"
Yuan Shao looked up at Cao Yuan and asked hoarsely.
Cao Yuan said lightly: "I am the Cao Yuan you offered a bounty of ten thousand gold and wanted to take my head." "
Yuan Shao's brain buzzed, and he shivered all over, and his eyes were replaced by endless horror in an instant.
"You're Cao Yuan?"
"Why, why can you know everything, know everything?"
"What are you, a man, a god, or some monster?"
Yuan Shao was incoherent and almost insane.
Cao Yuan didn't bother to say anything more to him.
"Someone, bring the wine!"
Cao Cao suddenly shouted.
Tiger guards left and right, and immediately served two glasses of wine.
"Yuan Benchu, after all, you and I fought side by side, raising the banner of righteousness and crusading against Dong Zhuo!"
"Today, as an old friend, I will send you on your way with this glass of wine. "
"You go with peace of mind, I will bury you with the gift of the princes!"
Cao Cao personally sent a glass of wine to Yuan Shao.
"Cao Apu, you don't want to be amorous!"
"I, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, are also worthy of being my Yuan Shao's friend after you, the eunuch!"
"You are nothing more than a disobedient eagle dog in my eyes!"
Yuan Shao was completely undignified, and when he was dying, he still mocked Cao Cao's family background.
He even flipped the wine glass handed by Cao Cao and flipped his sleeves to the ground.
Cao Cao was not angry or annoyed, he only drank the wine in his cup and drank it all.
Then.
He flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Since this is the case, then I won't be sentimental, come on, drag Yuan Shao down, split the corpse of the five horses, and crush the bones and scatter ashes." "
Yuan Shao didn't want decency, so Cao Cao didn't give him decency and let him die without a corpse.
Tiger guards left and right, hugging up.
"Cao Apu, after you are ugly, even if you kill me Yuan Shao, you are not worthy of the world, you are not worthy-"
Yuan Shaoxie's screams at the bottom gradually faded away.
With a heart-rending howl, the former first prince of the world fell.
"Long live Cao Gong—"
"Long live Cao Gong—"
In the sky above Guandu, the shouts of Cao Jun's soldiers shook the sky.
...
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
A banquet is taking place in the state capital.
Liu Beigao sat on the top position, proudly in the spring breeze, and accepted the congratulations of the military generals.
"Kong Ming, if it weren't for your clever plan, you would be able to have today's scenery!"
"This glass of wine, I salute you!"
Liu Bei raised his wine glass high, and looked at the young man with the lupine scarf with a grateful gaze.
That young man is none other than Wolong Zhuge Kongming.
Four months ago, under the persuasion of Xu Shu, he first went to Runan to receive 3,000 Liu Pi Yellow Turban Army, and then came to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao.
With Zhuge Liang's strategy, he broke through Xinye in one fell swoop and recovered the Jingbei barrier for Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was greatly pleased with this, trusted Liu Bei very much, and added 5,000 elite soldiers to him, wanting him to sit in Xinye and defend him against Cao Cao.
After gaining Liu Biao's trust, Liu Bei used Zhuge Liang's strategy to suddenly send troops to attack Xiangyang on the occasion of Liu Biao's birthday banquet.
Liu Biao was captured, and he regretted it so much that he could only announce that he would give up the position of Jingzhou pastor to Liu Bei.
Sitting on the land of a state again, how could Liu Bei at this time not be proud.
"The lord was only initially determined in Jingzhou, but Yuan Shao and Cao thieves were still in the north, and Liu Zhang, Sun Ce, Zhang Lu and other princes were still divided into one side. "
"The great cause of the lord to rejuvenate the Han family has only taken the first step, and Liang thinks that now is not the time to raise a glass to celebrate. "
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and poured a scoop of cold water on Liu Bei in a calm tone.
Liu Bei hurriedly put away his smile and said, "What the military advisor Kong Ming reminds is to remember the teachings of the military advisor. "
"The lord can be so arrogant and impatient, it is really my big man's room, and the great cause of Zhongxing will be successful!"
Zhuge Liang slapped him, and did not forget to give them two dates again, giving them a thumbs up.
Liu Bei's face resurfaced with a smile, and he asked: "Now that Jingzhou has been decided, according to the opinion of the military division, how should we use the troops next?"
"Cao thief has that Cao Yuan to assist, Yuan Shao's family has a great cause, Liang thinks that this official will have to stalemate for at least three or five months. "
"The lord can use this time to prepare his troops for battle, recuperate his strength, and be ready to go north at any time. "
"Once Guandu decides the winner, no matter who wins, it will be a miserable victory, and the vitality will be greatly damaged. "
"When the lord goes north, he will be able to take advantage of the situation to reap the profits, recover Xudu in one fell swoop, and welcome the Son of Heaven!"
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, outlining a blueprint for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei nodded again and again, and exclaimed: "The military advisor is really a clever calculation, with the assistance of the military advisor, why can't you worry about the Han Dynasty!"
Zhuge Liang shook his fan and smiled, then he was unhurried and picked up the wine glass.
Then.
Chen Zhi hurriedly entered, and arched his hand: "Lord Qi, Guandu is urgent, Cao Cao has broken Yuan Shao, the Yuan army has been annihilated, and Yuan Shao has been killed by Cao thieves!"
Zhuge Liang's face changed suddenly, and the wine glass that was sent to his mouth shook suddenly.
