Cao Song was finally killed by Tao Qian!

Although Yuan Fang had expected it beforehand, when he heard Guo Jia tell it personally, he could not suppress his excitement. He grabbed the information and read it carefully.

The information turned out to be as expected by Yuan Fang. Cao Cao's parents wanted to go to Yanzhou to reunite with Cao Cao, but they were killed by Tao Qian's troops when they passed near Hua County in Taishan County.

"Tao Qian killed Cao Cao's parents. With Cao Cao's character, he had to mobilize all the troops in Yanzhou and bloodbath Xuzhou to avenge his father. The two threats were eliminated. My lord, no wonder you have always been so confident. I had expected it.

What a show!"

Guo Jia's voice was so excited that his voice was hoarse. It was the first time that Guo Jia was so shocked by such a conspiracy. He was deeply amazed by Yuan Fang's god-like foresight.

Yuan Fangchang breathed a sigh of relief, but smiled and said nothing.

He is both wise and brave, but his so-called "god-like" foresight comes from his foresight of history.

Even before the war with Yuan Shao, Yuan Fang had estimated that Cao Cao's father would be killed by Tao Qian's troops in the past few months. This was because he did not take Cao Cao and Tao Qian's troops seriously.

main reason.

At the beginning, Yuan Fang warned Cao Cao that if he persisted in retreating, he would surely pay a heavy price.

Now, Tao Qian, the old dog, has fulfilled his warning for Yuan Fang.

"My lord, how on earth did you foresee this? This is so amazing, I really can't figure it out." Guo Jia was amazed and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, cough~~" Yuan Fang coughed dryly, paused for a moment, and said: "Cao Song is a very rich man, and many of Tao Qian's generals have been recruited by bandits. If Cao Song wants to join Cao Cao, he will definitely pass by these people.

Territory, they are greedy for Cao Song's family wealth, and it is not unusual for them to kill people and seize wealth."

Yuan Fang reluctantly found this reason to explain his "divine" foresight. But this reason was somewhat unconvincing even to himself.

When Guo Jia was still confused, Yuan Fang snapped the case and said happily: "As soon as Cao Cao and Tao Qian retreat, the generals in the south will be able to sit back and relax. He sent an order to Zhu Ling and Guo Huai, asking them to lead their troops and secretly come to the plain to rendezvous. That's it.

It’s time for us to counterattack.”

Yuan Fang was full of fighting spirit and made some heroic words, which interrupted Guo Jia's questions. The blood of this evil conspirator and drunkard also aroused.

On that day, two secret orders were sent from Pingyuan. One was sent to Gaotang to Guo Huai, and the other was sent to Beihai to Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling and Guo Huai each had 5,000 soldiers and horses, adding up to 10,000 elite soldiers.

With these 10,000 troops, Yuan Fang had the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy army under Shi Lao's city, whose energy was severely frustrated.

In order to avoid the enemy's subterfuge as much as possible, Yuan Fang ordered the two groups of soldiers and horses to pretend to be men transporting grain, travel day and night, and try to use off-the-beaten paths to reach the plains.

Earlier, Cao Cao's troops surrounded Gaotang and blocked the main road, which also provided cover for Yuan Fang to mobilize troops.

A few days later, Zhu Ling and Guo Huai, two generals, led 10,000 elite troops dressed in Qiao makeup and quietly arrived at Ande on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Ande is located more than thirty miles east of the plain. It is the transfer place for grain and grass from the eastern counties. Yuan Fang ordered his troops to gather here instead of the plain, in order to cover up as much as possible.

Upon hearing that reinforcements had arrived, Yuan Fang immediately summoned the generals from Pingyuan to make arrangements for a counterattack.

The news that the threat from the south has been lifted has spread throughout the camp, and the generals have been vaguely aware that Yuan Fang is planning a major operation.

The tent was filled with an invisible murderous aura, and the blood of the generals was quietly boiling.

Glancing in front of the tent, he saw that all the generals had gathered. Yuan Fang said loudly: "Cao Cao avenged his father and started a battle with Tao Qian. I believe you all know this news. I have called you here today. I just want to announce that we will fight back."

The time has come.”

The blood of the generals who were about to move was instantly ignited, and the shouts of war broke out in the big tent.

After defending for two full months, withstanding Yuan Shao's attacks one after another, the long-suppressed anger finally broke out. It would be strange if the generals were not excited enough to explode.

"Master, tell me how to fight. Let's fight to defeat that old thief Yuan Shao!" Yan Liang waved his fist and roared excitedly.

"good!"

Yuan Fang turned his attention to the map, pointed to the northwest corner and said: "Over the past month, the Mi family's detailed work has helped me find out clearly that Yuan Shao's grain and grass are concentrated more than 20 miles northwest, near Dongwu City on the Qingshui River.

This time, I will personally lead 10,000 elite infantry and cavalry, bypass the enemy army from the north, go straight to Dongwu, and burn all of Yuan Shao’s food and grass!"

All the generals focused their attention on the seemingly inconspicuous town of Tobu, but they did not expect that the key to victory or defeat would be there.

"My lord, since Dongwu is where Yuan Shao stores grain, Yuan Shao must have stationed a heavy army there. My lord used 10,000 troops for a surprise attack. Is there a shortage of troops?" Hao Zhao said worriedly.

However, Yuan Fang said confidently: "I have carefully investigated and found out that Dongwu Grain Camp does have 5,000 heavy troops, but the guard is an old guy like Chun Yuqiong. Yuan Shao uses this man to guard the grain camp, so I don't have to worry about not being able to defeat him."

Chunyu Qiong was Yuan Fang's defeated general. When everyone heard that Yuan Fang was going to fight this person, their confidence suddenly increased.

Taishi Ci then said: "This time we go, not only do we have to bypass the enemy's main force, but we also have to march for more than twenty miles. It seems a bit risky. Why should my lord go into danger myself? Ci is willing to go on my lord's behalf."

But Yuan Fang shook his head and said resolutely: "This battle is of great importance. I cannot motivate the soldiers to fight to the death unless I personally take action. Yan Zi is accompanying me, and you all stay behind in the camp to prevent Yuan Shao from taking the opportunity to attack."

Taishi Ci had a stern look on his face. He already understood what Yuan Fang meant. He knew that this battle was of vital importance and it was imperative for Yuan Fang to take action in person.

Yuan Fang made arrangements and ordered Yan Liang to follow him to Ande City, where he would join Zhu Ling and Guo Huai and lead his 10,000-strong army to attack Yuan Shao's grain camp.

The remaining generals Hao Zhao, Taishi Ci, and Xu Sheng stayed behind to guard the camp.

Yuan Fang estimated that if Yuan Shao heard that the grain camp was in danger, he would most likely think that his camp was empty and take advantage of it to attack. This is why he did not dare to mobilize the troops of the camp.

After the deployment was completed, Yuan Fang looked around the generals, his pride surged, and he said angrily: "Everyone, old thief Yuan Shao has oppressed us for too long, and now it's finally time to fight back. I want you to use your last courage and fight side by side with me.

Field, show your power in the world!"

"bloody battle--"

"bloody battle--"

The excited generals, arrogant and furious, roared loudly in response to Yuan Fang's encouragement.

Yuan Fang was extremely pleased, so he dismissed the military meeting and ordered the generals to make preparations. He will also set off tonight, heading to Ande at starry night, to personally command the 10,000 troops.

Before he knew it, it was getting dark and night was falling. Yuan Fang had a good meal and was ready to set off.

At this time, the soldiers outside the tent came to report that they were guest generals, Gao Shun, who led 500 trapped troops and arrived at the camp from the plain, and was waiting to meet them outside.

Gao Shun is here?

"Could it be that he wants to come to help in the battle?" Yuan Fang perked up and hurriedly ordered Gao Shun to come in.

Although Gao Shun was sent under his wing, he was a guest general. Yuan Fang did not use Gao Shun as he used his own generals.

As for the five hundred trapped camps, although they belong to Yuan Fang, without Gao Shun's command, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Moreover, he previously focused on defending, and the trapped camps were of no use, so he has not been transferred there.

On the front line, Gao Shun is still training.

On the eve of the counterattack, Gao Shun came uninvited, most likely because he wanted to take the initiative to assist in the battle. If the trap camp could be used, Yuan Fang would be more confident in this surprise battle.

Not long after, footsteps sounded, and Gao Shun stepped into the tent first.

"Boping, you came here at starry night, could it be that..."

Just when Yuan Fanggang greeted him, he was surprised to find that behind Gao Shun, a dashing young female general wearing silver armor and a red cloak followed.

That female general is none other than Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi.

Seeing Yuan Fang's strange expression, Lu Lingqi smiled heartily and said: "Why, Yuan Zhoumu, haven't you seen a woman before? Do you need to be in a daze after seeing me?"

Yuan Fang was just surprised before, but now he was dumbfounded. Lu Lingqi's "unbridled speech" made him at a loss as to how to respond.

Gao Shun was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Lu Lingqi and whispered: "Miss, please be careful when talking to Yuan Zhoumu."

"Is there anything to pay attention to? I think Yuan Zhoumu is also a real man who doesn't stick to trivial matters. Otherwise, how could he rebel against his father? I'm right, Yuan Zhoumu."

Lu Lingqi was casually tight and didn't take it seriously at all. She even reached out and patted Yuan Fang's arm.

"Miss!" Gao Shun was embarrassed and anxious, and didn't know how to persuade her.

He had no choice but to bow his hand to Yuan Fang and said with shame: "My Miss Lu has been in the army with Marquis Wen since she was a child. She has a different temperament. Please forgive Yuan Zhoumu."

Gao Shun didn't dare to say it directly, but the implication was that Lu Lingqi had been hanging out with soldiers for a long time, and she had been infected with the roughness of soldiers, and her temperament was a bit unlike that of an ordinary girl's family.

Since coming to this era, it was the first time Yuan Fang had seen such a forthright woman. Lu Lingqi's casualness, instead of being annoying, actually made him more interesting.

Yuan Fangfang smiled lightly and said, "Miss Lu seems to be a sweetheart, so it's no big deal."

Lu Lingqi glanced at Gao Shun, a bit of pride flashing between her beautiful eyebrows.

Gao Shun had no choice but to shake his head and sigh.

Yuan Fangfang asked: "General Boping and Miss Lu came here at starry night. What's the matter?"

Only then did Gao Shun remember the business, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said seriously: "Shun knew that the fighting on the front line was tense, so he led the trapped camp to come to help in the battle. I hope that Yuan Zhoumu can lend a helping hand to repay Zhou Mu for your kindness in protecting me."

Sure enough.

Gao Shun took the initiative to ask for help, which made Yuan Fang very pleased.

"Boping, you came just in time. I am about to use your trap to fight a key battle of counterattack." Yuan Fang laughed, and then revealed his plan to sneak attack Yuan Shao's grain camp.
