Chapter 136
With Chao Rui's suggestion, Cao Cao's heart was extremely firm at the moment.
Immediately ordered the dispatch of elite cavalry from all units of the army, including many Hebei generals.
A cavalry of five thousand men was formed.
Tian Chou vanguard army was in front, Zhang Liao was second, and Cao Cao and Chao Rui were behind.
Three days later, the army reached Luronse.
The guide Tian Chou told Cao Cao.
There are two roads leading to Wuhuan, a big road and a small road.
There is water on the main road in the rainy season, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel, although it is the closest to Wuhuan, but the speed of the march is slow.
Although the path is rugged, you can go around Liucheng.
Cao Cao asked Chao Rui: "In your opinion, is it a small road to march from the main road?"
Chao Rui said: "Liucheng is the gate of the Wuhuan tribe!"
"Wuhuan learned that our army was coming. We must go to Liucheng to hold on!
""The art of war is cloudy, and it is unprepared to attack it by surprise
!" "Our army should cross Baitan, go around to the empty place behind Liucheng, and intercept and kill Wuhuan
!" "Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered the army to march from Baitan.
A few days later, the army passed through White Wolf Mountain.
"Stop the front army!" Tian Chou hurriedly stopped the cavalry behind him, and then climbed high to look at it from afar.
I saw tens of thousands of cavalry gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Tian Chou hurriedly sent someone to report to Cao Cao.
A moment later, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Chao Rui and others rushed to the top of the mountain.
Tian Chou said: "Prime Minister, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops, I am afraid that it is a sudden encounter at this time, our army may not be able to win!" Cao Cao heard this, and put his hand on the pergola and looked down the mountain: "The army of Badun is not in order, and the soldiers and horses are in three ways, so there is nothing to be afraid of
!" Chao Rui immediately gave Zhang Liao a look, and the latter knelt on one knee: "Prime Minister, I am willing to lead my troops to attack and kill Wu Huan
!" "Okay!" Cao Cao said: "
All the five thousand cavalry are under your command!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Zhang Liao immediately got up and ordered the troops to divide into three routes.
Ordered Tian Chou to lead a thousand cavalry to attack the Wuhuan rear army.
Xu Chu led a thousand cavalry to attack the enemy's front army.
Zhang Liao led more than 2,000 soldiers and horses to directly take the Chinese army.
The three-way army and horses came out together, shouting "
Kill, kill, kill!"
Although there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Badun, there were many of them from the old troops of Gao Gan and Yuan Shang.
Even the Wuhuan cavalry did not understand strategy, and rarely fought such encounters.
Only half an hour after the start of the war, Gao Gan and Yuan Shang fled first.
Subsequently, the horses of Badun's subordinates also scattered and fled.
In the midst of the chaos, Zhang Liao wielded a broadsword and cut off the head of Badun.
The cavalry of the Cao army held high the head of the Badun.
Seeing that the leader was killed, the Wuhuan cavalry surrendered on the spot.
On the other side, Xu Chu saw that Zhang Liao was stupid, and he was unwilling, and led his subordinates to frantically pursue Yuan Shang and Gao Gan.
When the two brothers, Yuan Shang and Gao Gan, saw that Xu Chu was so reckless, they immediately turned around to face Xu Chu.
But although the two were brave, they still couldn't defeat Xu Chu.
As Tian Chou came to reinforce him, Yuan Shang ignored Gao Gan and fled in advance.
Xu Chu seized the opportunity and directly beheaded Gao Gan under the horse.
Carrying the head of a high-ranking cadre, Xu Chu wanted to pursue Yuan Shang, but was immediately stopped by Tian Chou.
"General, the battle has been won, the poor Kou Mo chases, the prime minister has gone
to Liucheng!" "That's it!" Xu Chu said: "Go to Liucheng and have a round with the prime minister
!" "The general is wise!" Tian Chou clenched his fists with both hands.
The military horses of various departments entered Liucheng one after another.
In this battle, more than 5,000 Wuhuan troops and 10,000 horses were harvested.
That night, Cao Cao held a banquet to entertain the meritorious ministers.
First toast Zhang Liao, then toast Xu Chu and Tian Chou.
"If there were no three generals fighting bravely, I Cao Cao would not be able to enter this Liucheng!" Zhang
Liao said: "The prime minister is serious, General Tian Chou is the first merit in this battle
!" "That's right!" Xu Chu also said: "If there is no General
Tian Chou to lead the way, how can it be so smooth?" "Well, it makes sense!" Cao Cao nodded and ordered Tian Chou to be crowned as the Marquis of Liuting.
Tian Chou did not thank him, but cried on the spot.
Cao Cao asked: "Why is the general crying
?" "I am Yuan Shao's old general, I failed to serve Yuan Shao before, but now I am only leading the way, how dare I be named a marquis?" Tian Chou had a resolute attitude and would rather die than die.
Cao Cao added Tian Chou as the speaker and ordered him to lead his troops to guard Liucheng.
and all the Wuhuan troops were assigned to Zhang Liao's account.
Zhang Liao slashed and killed Badun, and had already gained prestige in the Wuhuan cavalry.
He is the only one who is qualified to lead these more than 5,000 Wuhuan soldiers.
Three days later, the army returned from Liucheng to Jicheng.
At this time, the weather is getting cooler, and it is already autumn.
Cao Cao convened the civil and military forces to discuss the destruction of Liaodong.
Cao Hong said: "Since the prime minister has broken Wuhuan, he should take advantage of the situation to attack
Liaodong to pacify Gongsun Du!" Cheng Yu shook his head: "Gongsun Du of Liaodong is not as bad as Wuhuan, and he cannot be underestimated, I don't recommend that the prime minister wave his army into Liaodong!"
The military generals suggested entering Liaodong, killing Yuan Shu and Yuan Shang, and recapturing the land of Liaodong.
Wenchen believes that Gongsun Du and Bun Dun are not of the same grade, and it is by no means easy to break through Liaodong.
Cao Cao looked around, and finally set his eyes on Chao Rui.
"Chao Sacrificial Wine
, what do you think?" Chao Rui arched his hand and signaled: "Prime Minister, I think what General Zilian said is right, and what Mr. Zhongde said is also reasonable
!" Cao Hong: "???" Cheng Yu: "..."Cao Cao said: "Don't be with the mud, only say what you have to say
!" Chao Rui said: "I see that the suggestion is, salute first and then soldiers, send an envoy into Liaodong, and ask Gongsun Du to offer the head of Eryuan!"
Cao Hong immediately shook his head: "Bow first and then soldier, then it will be a startling snake, in case Gongsun Du does not offer his head, wouldn't it be a waste of work
?" Chao Rui also shook his head: "I expect Gongsun Du to definitely offer the head of the second Yuan!" "
Why?" Cao Cao asked Chao Rui.
Chao Rui said: "The four states of Hebei, three of which have been attacked by the prime minister, Wuhuan can't stop my iron hooves, why
does Gongsun Du dare to fight with our army?" "Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded: "Reasonable!" Chao Rui continued: "If our army attacks, Gongsun Du will definitely fight to the death, our army does not attack, Gongsun Du will sacrifice the head of Eryuan to calm the contradiction between the two families in order to protect himself
!" "That's good!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "
Jiang Gan, Liu Ye obeyed the order and ordered the two of you to be envoys and go to Liaodong to see Gongsun Du!
" "Obey!" The two of them gave up their hands and immediately withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army.
A few days later, Jiang Gan and Liu Ye entered Xiangping City in Liaodong.
That night, I stayed at the pavilion and went to Liaodong Mansion early the next morning to see Gongsun Du.
Jiang Gan and Liu Ye stated their identities and made their intentions clear.
Gongsun Du was shocked when he heard this: "The prime minister wants me to kill Er Yuan and dedicate it to him?" "
That's right!" Jiang Gan nodded.
Gongsun Du said: "If I kill Er Yuan, am I not a traitor seeking glory?" Liu Ye smiled: "General don't forget, you are a Han minister, not a minister of the destroyed Yu Dynasty, killing Er Yuan today is the order of the imperial court, how can you say that you want to sell the lord for glory?"
Jiang Gan said again: "If you don't allow it, the prime minister will personally lead the army into Liaodong in the coming year and capture Er Yuan alive!"
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Du
felt a chill behind him.
In the coming year, he led a large army into Liaodong, and this sentence was the most deadly.
Who knows how many soldiers and horses Cao Cao will have in
a year's time? Even if Liaodong is given a year, it will not be Cao Cao's opponent.
Gongsun Du waved his hand and immediately ordered someone to invite Er Yuan to meet him at the house.
A moment later, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shang arrived.
When the uncle and nephew saw Cao Cao's messenger, they felt bad.
Yuan Shang asked, "Does General Gongsun
want to kill our uncle and nephew?" Yuan Shu immediately said: "If you don't kill our uncle and nephew, please kill Cao Cao's two envoys, my uncle and nephew are willing to live and die with the general
!" "Hahaha!" Gongsun Kang laughed: "I just want to kill your uncle and nephew!"
The voice fell, and the armor outside the hall rushed in.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shang were hacked to death.
put the heads of the uncle and nephew into a lime box and handed them directly to Jiang Gan and Liu Ye.
Gongsun Du: "Please also ask the two envoys to hand over the heads to the prime minister, my Liaodong is the territory of the Han Dynasty, not the land of the Yu Dynasty
!" "The general is wise!" The two of them hugged their fists and signaled.
