"Although Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals, he listens to calumny and won't only use the good.”
"Compared to him, the Duke of Wei is a hundred times, a thousand times stronger!”
"Although our army isn't even one-tenth of Yuan's army, we're still holding fast to our position.”
"I have a spell attached to the letter. We can use this formation to defend Guandu.”
"With Guandu in hand, it's like strangling Yuan Shao's throat. Thus, the Duke of Wei had to defend this place.”
"Yuan Shao is unable to advance. As time passes, the morale of the army will weaken and there will be changes in the army.”
"This is the time to win by surprise!”
"Right now, the Duke of Wei's top priority is to solve the problem of rations.”
"There must be Yuan Shao's spies outside the Wei army. If we can catch one of them, we can find out the route Yuan Shao used to transport the grain.”
"Hiding halfway can solve the urgent problem!”
"I heard that there is a person in Yuan Shao's camp called Xu You. The Duke of Wei can send a letter to this person to recruit him to surrender and sow discord!”
"At that time, you can follow Xu You to attack Wuchao!”
"The outcome of the Guandu Battle is clear!"
Cao Cao finished reading the letter and took a deep breath.
"How did Imperial Preceptor know about Xu You?”
Xu You, also known as Ziyuan, was a close friend of Cao Cao when he was young.
But later, Xu You joined Yuan Shao.
Because of this, the two of them gradually stopped interacting.
However, after some thought, Ye Bei had always been a master of foresight, so it was understandable that he knew Xu You!
Thus, he stood up and walked out of the tent, gathering the soldiers to defend Guandu.
Fight to the death, put yourself in a desperate situation, and then live.
The Wei army would arrange their troops according to Ye Bei's array formation, with Ye Bei commanding them from afar.
For some reason, the Wei soldiers suddenly felt full of strength.
Their morale soared, and they fought to the death!
He actually forced Yuan Jun to retreat 30 miles!
During this period of time, Cao Cao had paid close attention to the outside of the camp and doubled the number of patrols!
Another few days passed, and Wei Country's rations had already run out.
Just as Cao Cao was feeling anxious, Xu Huang's subordinate, Shi Huan, walked in with a few people tied up.
"Duke of Wei, this general has found a spy from the Yuan Army!”
Cao Cao quickly stood up.
"Bring him up!"
After that, a few spies were thrown into Cao Cao's tent.
Cao Cao looked at the person in front of him, his eyes red.
Ye Bei had said that as long as they caught Yuan Jun's spy, they would be able to solve their urgent problems!
He had waited until now, and now that he had run out of rations, this spy had finally arrived!
"Do you want to live or die?”
Cao Cao asked with red eyes.
These people did not say anything.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and Shi Huan directly stepped forward, killing one of them on the spot.
"Do you want to live or die?”
Cao Cao asked again.
Still, no one spoke.
Then, another person was killed.
The remaining two spies were shocked when they saw this.
Cao Cao truly lived up to his reputation, he was decisive in killing!
"King Wei, we want to live!"
"You want to live!"
Cao Cao nodded.”
One of the spies gritted his teeth and snatched the sword from Shi Huan's hand, stabbing at his teammate.
"King Wei, I survived. I want to live!”
Cao Cao laughed heartily. Then it's you!"
"Let me ask you, do you know where Yuan Shao is transporting his rations?”
"I don't know." The spy shook his head.”
"Hmm?" Cao Cao was confused.
The spy hurriedly knelt down. But I know something else!"
"Every morning and night, Yuan Shao's subordinate Han Meng will transport the rations, and we have always been the scouts!”
Cao Cao nodded.
Then, he called Xun You over.
"Xun You, two days ago, the Imperial Preceptor sent a letter saying that there were spies from the Yuan Army outside the city.”
"Obtaining this person will solve our urgent problem!”
"Today, we caught a spy.”
"The spy will make it clear that the one escorting the rations is Yuan Shao's Great General Han Meng. How do you think we should make this decision?”
When Xun You heard this, he was shocked.
"The state preceptor is far away in Xuchang, but he was able to predict this matter a few days in advance.”
"My lord is like a fish in water to obtain the state preceptor, like a tiger with wings!”
"What is there to worry about in the world?"
Then, Xun You calmed down and thought of the important matter.
"Although Han Meng is brave, he is just an ordinary general.”
"We only need to send thousands of people to break through!”
"Who do you think can take on the heavy responsibility of robbing the grain?”Cao Cao asked.
"Xu Huang!" Xun You replied.
After Cao Cao heard this, he quickly ordered Xu Huang to lead his subordinates to follow the path pointed out by the spy to rob the grain.
After that, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun led the troops to support them.
That night, Han Meng escorted thousands of cars from the small road.
Suddenly, Xu Huang and Shi Huan led thousands of people and charged out from the sides.
Seeing this, Han Meng hurriedly turned around and started fighting.
Xu Huang also raised his spear.
Shi Huan led his troops and killed all the people escorting the provisions.
Han Meng saw that the situation was hopeless and could not resist, so he hurriedly fled, all the way straight to Yuan Shao's camp.
Xu Huang and Shi Huan took the opportunity to hijack the grain carts and return.
At this time, Han Meng had already returned to Yuan Shao's military camp.
He immediately rushed to Yuan Shao's tent.
"My lord! Xu Huang and his men robbed the rations!"
Han Meng shouted as he ran.
After Yuan Shao heard this, he flew into a rage.
"Food is the most important thing in the army. How dare you let Cao Wei rob it?!”
"Men, drag him down and kill him!”
When Shen Pei heard this, he quickly walked forward.
"Lord, you must not. The current situation is chaotic, and it is time to use people!”
"Although the rations have been robbed, it has only been a few days.”
"We must not be careless. Why don't we let Han Meng follow me back to Yedu to supervise the rations?”
"Wuchao is where we store our rations, so we have to guard it with heavy troops!”
"Hold on for a few days. Cao Wei is short of food and will definitely lose!”
"Right now, the most important thing is to send someone to intercept Xu Huang. Even if we can't get the rations back, we have to burn them all!”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded silently.
After that, he ordered Han Meng and Shen Pei to return to Yedu on a fast horse and sent Zhang He and Gao Lan to rob the grain.
Chunyu Qiong led Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui and the others with 20,000 troops to defend Wuchao.
Zhang He and Gao Lan received the order and immediately sped off to chase after Xu Huang.
By the time he arrived, Xu Huang was already far away.
Zhang He immediately ordered the archers to prepare fire arrows to burn the grain.
At this moment, two groups of people suddenly rushed out from the two wings.
They were Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's reinforcements!
For a time, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan were locked in a fierce battle.
It was only when Xu Chu arrived with his troops that Zhang He and Gao Lan's troops were forced to retreat.
Xu Huang, Shi Huan, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Xu Chu joined forces and returned to the Wei army's stronghold at Guandu.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and quickly got people to welcome him.
Then, they set up guards at the entrance of the village to prevent Yuan Jun from launching a sneak attack!
Sitting in the military tent, the monarch and his subjects started a banquet.
"I didn't expect that dog Yuan Shao to eat so well!”
Xu Chu looked at the wine and meat in front of him and felt a little jealous.
During this period, the Wei army had been fighting with the Yuan army, and they were running out of food.
For the next two days, they could only eat dry food to fill their stomachs.
Now that he saw Yuan Shao's rations were so abundant, he wished he could kill his way over again and snatch all of Yuan Shao's rations!
Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh as he watched everyone feast.
"Soldiers, for such a feast today, you must not forget to thank the Imperial Preceptor!”
"State Preceptor?"
"What happened to the state preceptor?"
"Isn't Imperial Preceptor guarding Xu Capital? Could it be that Imperial Preceptor is here too?”
Everyone was puzzled.
