Chapter 854 Burning the Crow's Nest
Liu Bei rebelled and attacked Cao Cao in Xuzhou.
Cao Cao ordered Cao Ang to go to conquer.
Liu Bei was quickly defeated and fled to Qingzhou, where Yuan Xi accepted him.
At this time, Liu Pi in Runan surrendered to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao ordered Liu Pi to attack Xuchang, Yuan Shao also ordered Liu Bei to go to support Liu Pi.
It was the time of the sun in July, and Liu Bei took thousands of soldiers and horses, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong to Runan.
Runan was unstable, causing Xudu to be in danger, and Cao Ang was sent by Cao Cao to put out the fire again.
The fighting over there was very hot, but Zhang Yu was very calm here, collecting information, and then drinking tea and reading, and there was nothing else to do.
The Huns are very capable of tossing, not only tossing Youzhou, but also tossing Jizhou and Bingzhou, which makes people believe that Zhang Yu can't get away.
Yuan Shaofang completely ignored Zhang Yu. Although Cao Cao wanted to pay attention, he didn't have the energy.
"It's a fight, it's very lively." Zhang Yu was completely watching a show.
Others are playing hotly, but he can only watch the fun right now.
Successive changes are all in the direction of benefiting Zhang Yu.
Now Zhang Yu and Sun Ce are fighting very lively in Jiangdong, but most of them are guerrilla warfare. He completely blocked a section of the Yangtze River waterway, and then attacked along the Yangtze River to attack Sun Ce.
Sun Ce has built a fleet, and the scale is not large, but his fleet was held back by Cai Mao, and he dared not come out to deal with Zhang Yu.
The whole of China was full of wars, and it was very lively, and all the princes jumped out.
In August, Yuan Cao fought again several times, winning and losing each other. Cao Cao lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Cheng Yu had to rush back to Xuchang to gather food and soldiers.
And Yuan Shao also suffered a lot, but he still had a great advantage and continued to fight against Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao regrouped his troops and gathered food and fodder before attacking the Guandu area.
Cao Cao has always avoided direct confrontation with Yuan Shao, often sending troops to attack Yuan Shao's other places, and the two armies started a continuous melee around Guandu.
The war lasted for a month, and both sides consumed a lot.
However, Cao Cao was still in a state of being suppressed and did not change the situation of the battle.
The two sides continued to fight, and Zhang Yu had quietly arranged his troops.
Zhang Yu's fleet has arrived, and he can transport the soldiers and horses there at once. In addition, he is also secretly replacing the soldiers and horses, transferring the soldiers and horses of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to the border, and mobilizing several generals.
Everything is ready, just wait for the result of their battle.
However, the Runan area had results first, and Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Ang and returned in despair.
After returning, Yuan Shao didn't like to see Liu Bei very much. Liu Bei used his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty to win over Liu Biao.
Anyway, Yuan Shao didn't give Liu Bei anything. It would be best for him to win if he could succeed, so Yuan Shao gave Liu Bei hundreds of troops and all the money to go to Jingzhou.
Naturally, Liu Bei never returned, and went directly to Liu Biao.
After several ups and downs, Liu Bei started from scratch again.
Yuan Cao's battle is also getting more and more critical.
In Yuan Shao's barracks, Xu You has been worried recently.
He has been paying attention to changes in the overall situation, and recent events have made him feel more and more bad.
What made him completely lose confidence in Yuan Shao was the changes in his three sons.
Yuan Shang has been wooing people from all walks of life in Yecheng, and some people even encouraged him to stand on his own in Yecheng.
Of course, Yuan Shao is still in power, and Yuan Shao likes him the most, so there is no need for Yuan Shang to rebel at this time.
But he has to guard against Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi.
But Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are the most nervous, they both want to fight for the inheritance.
Originally Yuan Tan was the most promising to become the son of the prince, but he turned out to be the weakest one.
Yuan Shang has a certain advantage, not only won Yuan Shao's love, but now he also occupies Jizhou, enters Yecheng, and takes care of Yuan Shao
However, Yuan Xi got the canonization of the emperor, so he has an advantage over him no matter what.
The change of the third son of the Yuan family After Xu You got the news, he knew that Yuan Shao would be finished sooner or later.
Following Yuan Shao has no future.
"The lower princes are Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yu. Yuan Shao is doomed to perish. It seems that I have no choice but to rely on Cao Cao. After all, it is Fa. I rely on Zhang Yu. I betrayed the owner secretly before, and I will not be reused if I go." Xu You I thought to myself.
He knew very well that he had secretly traded with Zhang Yu before, and if he took refuge in Zhang Yu, it would be no wonder that Zhang Yu would use him.
There is no other way but to seek refuge with Cao Cao.
But you have to seize the right time to take refuge in Cao Cao, and you must bring the vote certificate, otherwise you will not be reused.
Xu You has been patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Finally, Xu You received the news that Wuchao was empty.
To defeat Yuan Shao's remaining hundreds of thousands of troops in one fell swoop, the only way is to burn the grain.
"At the beginning, don't blame me for being cruel. It's because you were too disappointing. Such a good opportunity and such a great advantage were all crippled by you." Xu You said.
Xu You began to look for opportunities to leave the barracks.
One night, Xu You bid farewell to Yuan Shao, saying that he had something to do at home and needed to go back.
Yuan Shao first pretended to stay for a while, and then told him to go and come back quickly, because he is needed here.
Xu You left overnight, but instead of returning to Jizhou, he ran to Cao Cao in the starry night.
Cao Cao knew that Xu You was coming, so he hurried to greet him.
"Ziyuan, Ziyuan, you are here." Cao Cao held Xu You's hand and said.
"Ah, I have brought you important news this time." Xu You said.
There were many soldiers around, so Xu You called Cao Cao by his name, but Cao Cao didn't get angry, or didn't show it, he pulled him in and said, "Ziyuan will definitely help me defeat Yuan Shao this time."
After Xu You went in, he first asked Cao Cao about the food situation in the army, but Xu You saw through Cao Cao's innocence.
Finally, Xu You told Cao Cao about Yuan Shao's situation.
"Ziyuan, you saved my life." Cao Cao said with emotion after listening.
Xu You was naturally extremely proud.
Cao Cao immediately summoned his men.
Cao Cao ordered Cao Ang, Xun You and others to stick to the camp, and he personally led an army of 60,000 to attack Wuchao.
Chunyu Qiong of Wuchao didn't put his heart into defending, because there were hundreds of thousands of troops ahead, he felt very safe in the rear, drinking all day long.
Cao Cao and the others moved at night, and the men and horses silenced and walked exclusively.
Walking all the way, and under the banner of Yuan Jun, he was not found.
"It's Wuchao in front of us, the whole army will attack."
When he arrived outside Wuchao, Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to launch a fierce attack.
Sixty thousand troops rushed to Wuchao.
Wuchao, here is larger than in history, and there is more food.
Because there are more soldiers and horses in this time and space, the food and grass needed will naturally be more.
At this time, the guard Chunyu Qiong was still drunk, and there was a lot of shouting and killing outside, and he hadn't woken up yet.
Cao Cao and the others started setting fire as soon as they killed them, setting fire while killing.
Chunyuqiong woke up from his drunkenness when Cao Cao and the others went inside.
