Chapter two hundred and ninety third: Wen Chou pursues
The next day, almost noon, I saw that Yuan's army's flag was already hanging on the Baima City Tower. After Cao Cao rested for a night, he had already led all his troops to evacuate Baima in the morning and headed towards Guandu. Gao Lan quickly sent troops to occupy the place.
However, Yuan Jun did not feel any joy at all. In the Baima County Government, a huge cry sounded. Yuan Shao, wearing gorgeous armor, was attached to Yan Liang's body and cried loudly, "Public Ji, Public Ji!"
"Brother!!" Wen Chou also knelt on the side of the house with great grief. Who would have thought that Yan Liang was killed after only a few days of not seeing each other.
Xu You, who was standing aside, frowned, looked at Guo Tu with an extremely dissatisfied expression, and said sternly: "Dong Ze, You have already said that this is Cao Cao's plan to attack the east and west, but you want to encourage your lord to let General Yan Liang seize this opportunity to attack the white horse immediately, causing him to fall into a desperate situation and be killed by Guan Yu."
Guo Tu was shocked and hurriedly said, "Ziyuan, what do you mean? The reason why Tu divided the troops was because he was worried about the safety of Yecheng, and the other was because he was confident in General Yan Liang. He had a hundred thousand troops in his hand. In theory, even if he was fighting against the east and west, it would not be like this at all."
"You just underestimate Cao Cao too much," Xu You cursed directly.
"You are wrong. Tu really cares that Cao Cao will really capture Yanjin and approach the rear of our army. Xu You, I came to ask you, if Yecheng is really a loss, can you take responsibility?" Guo Tu fought back angrily.
Xu You smiled coldly and said, "You have said it a long time ago. I really hope that Cao Cao will attack Yecheng so that our army can encircle and annihilate Cao Cao in the northern part. As long as Cao Cao dies, the Central Plains can even be determined without a fight. Don't forget that the second young master is still in Youzhou and he can go south at any time. Aren't you just worried that Cao Cao will damage your foundation in various places?"
"You!" Guo Tu was speechless. At this time, Yan Liang was dead. He said that it was too many, which was also true.
"Okay." Yuan Shao stood up angrily, looked at Guo Tu and said dissatisfiedly: "Please, you are really too wrong this time. You have thought about it in the future and are talking."
"Lord" Guo Tu looked aggrieved.
Yuan Tan frowned and clasped his fists and said, "Father, Lord Guo Tu is also loyal. After all, if Yanjin is in a loss, he will directly threaten Yecheng. No one expected that the 100,000 army would retreat like this."
"Yes! Father, the dead are gone. Now that we are below the white horse, our army should continue to advance bravely, approach Xudu, and completely eliminate Cao Cao." Yuan Shang did not sing a counter-topic with Yuan Tan at this moment. The most important thing is to eliminate Cao Cao at present.
"Lord, it's really surprising that Guan Yu's appearance is coming," Feng Ji shook his head and said.
Yuan Shao's pupils shrank. Could it be that Guan Yu already knew about Liu Bei's death, so he was loyal to Cao Cao. Thinking of this, he felt regretful. If Liu Bei was still there, he could find a way to pull Guan Yu such a magical general over there.
"Lord, I'm willing to lead troops out to chase me, avenge my brother, and kill Guan Yu." Wen Chou saw tears and asked for his revenge on his face.
"No" Xu You was anxious and stopped him: "Lord, you must not divide the troops. Our army should move forward slowly. With the advantage of huge military strength, we will completely eat Cao Cao's army step by step, so that all his conspiracies and tricks cannot be performed."
Hearing this, Wen Chou immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Lord, please take advantage of the fact that my elder brother has made military achievements over the years and avenge him!"
"Let's go first, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Yuan Shao quickly helped Wen Chou up, looked at the sad expression, and started crying again. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both his peerless generals. They followed him for more than ten years and were loyal and now they have lost one. He felt distressed more than anyone else and said: "Public conduct, I gave 80,000 people, but this time I must be cautious and must not act recklessly."
"Thank you lord" Wen Chou said gratefully.
Gao Lan, who was standing aside, saw this scene and immediately said anxiously: "General Wen Chou and General Yan Liang's death are indeed sad, but the safety of the lord is the most important thing. Cao Cao has many tricks, so you must not go out easily!"
Wen Chou looked at Gao Lan's secretly gestured eyes, and suddenly he clenched his fists, and a hint of shame appeared on his face. He knew that Gao Lan was signaling him, not because of Yuan Shao, but because of Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi's order had not been issued, and all the generals who belonged to him could not act without permission. But who is Yan Liang? Although the two are not brothers, they are indeed better than brothers. Apart from Yuan Xi's affairs, Wen Chou did not lie to him. At this time, Yan Liang was killed, so how could he sit still?
"Lord, let's wait. After Chou kills Guan Yu, he will definitely return immediately and protect his lord." Wen Chou said with his fists.
"Go first, be careful!" Yuan Shao said with concern.
Wen Chou nodded, looked at Gao Lan, and walked outside without hesitation.
Gao Lan's face suddenly showed a hint of worry. When Yuan Shao asked everyone to retreat, Gao Lan immediately rushed into a side room in the county government office, looked at Pang Tong and Xu Shu, and said worriedly: "No, General Wen Chou once again led a hundred thousand troops to pursue Cao Cao."
"What!" Pang Tong and Xu Shu immediately stood up. Pang Tong said in surprise: "After such a big incident, Yuan Gong actually asked General Wen Chou to attack alone."
"It was General Wen Chou who asked for his own desperate request, so he couldn't stop him! Someone had already hinted at him," Gao Lan said helplessly.
"It's bad, it's bad. Cao Cao gave up the white horse, just to be prepared to lure the pursuers into the deeper," Xu Shu said worriedly.
"The Marquis has already issued an order. General Wen Chou can't have any trouble no matter what." Pang Tongyi slapped the table and rushed to the map immediately, took a closer look. After a long time, he pointed heavily and said, "This is here, Baima Mountain, this place is the most suitable for ambush, and Cao's army will never let it go."
Hearing this, Xu Shu immediately ordered seriously: "General Gao, go and notify General Zhang He immediately and ask him to ask him to go with him. He has a calm personality and tells him that the outcome is not important, but he must keep General Wen Chou. General Wen Chou is the great prestige of the Marquis in the future to determine the four continents."
"Military advisor, why don't I go!" Gao Lan said.
"No, your task is the most critical. The white horse is the basis for the Marquis to go south. If the white horse is in hand, the Marquis will be free of worries. General Gao, you must guard it yourself." Pang Tong said seriously.
Gao Lan's face curled up and said, "No!"
When Gao Lan left, Xu Shu said worriedly: "I hope General Zhang He can bring General Wen Chou back safely."
Pang Tong shook his head with a sigh: "Actually, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others are all very wise, otherwise they would not have helped Yuan Gong seize the foundation of the north. However, after the four continents were unified, they asked themselves that they were invincible in the world and were completely used to internal fighting. They even started fighting each other without realizing it, resulting in Cao Cao's treacherous plan."
"Shu sees the key point of this, Yuan Gong. There were also loyal and righteous ministers like Ju Su, Tian Feng, and Qu Yi who were devoted to great cause, but in the end they were either killed directly or condemned by him or were completely disappointed. They didn't know how Yuan Gong gave birth to the Marquis. To be honest, although Yuan Gong unified the four continents and was a general, he was far inferior to the Marquis in terms of majesty, killing and grandeur. I really hope that the Marquis could go south quickly, and we don't have to hide like this." Xu Shu said helplessly.
