Chapter 842 If you want to deceive others, deceive yourself first
"Appoint Wen Chou's troops to pursue with all their might, it's best to keep Cao Cao for me!" Yuan Shao immediately ordered that Cao Cao had pretended to cross the river from Yanjin with a conspiracy, so she had to send someone to move from the white horse to this side.
Who knew that Cao Cao pretended to go north from Yanjin with all his might, but actually sent troops to support Baima. As for Jiang Qi's excuse, if Guan Yu had not suddenly arrived and killed Yan Liang in the chaos, they would have probably won.
The failure of the White Horse immediately reduced the 50,000 troops by more than 6,000 people. How could Yuan Shao swallow this? It just so happened that since Cao Cao sent people to support the White Horse, his headquarters should be empty. Even if he joined Cheng Yu's troops, there would be more than 10,000 people. The key is that there is a lack of war horses. Wen Chou attacked with all his strength, and he would definitely lose.
"Abide by the order!" The messenger took the order, and then went out immediately to convey military orders to Wen Chou's troops.
"Chasing Cao Cao with all your might? OK, I understand!" Wen Chou nodded. She was impatient to receive this military order.
She and Yan Liang have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Although Yan Liang has never confessed, she actually regarded Yan Liang as her man. She had already planned to spread the word with Yan Liang after the war was over and said that if the two got along, just get married and don't drag it on.
If others don’t know, she also knows that Yan Liang is not a returning to the ancient race at all. He has always been able to be brave and brave, but he is less afraid of death than others. People in the world are more afraid of death, so he will inevitably take advantage of loopholes. Of course, the lifeless style of fighting is basically even if she is a person, sometimes she finds it difficult.
Unless he has to fight with him too, and he is the kind of person who is desperate, it will be difficult to defeat him.
However, as Jiang Qi fled back in a panic, bad news came, Yan Liang died and killed Guan Yu. When she got the news, she wanted to kill him with her troops and destroy Guan Yu's body!
No, she can't be so cheap! She should catch her man, then tear her to pieces in front of her, and then kill her, so that she can vent her hatred! So she had to inquire about it and found that Guan Yu was really married, and the one who married her was still the "the biggest scumbag in the world".
The key is that this person is now at the Cao army headquarters. He is now ordered to pursue him, just in line with her wish!
"My boys, follow me to fight!" Wen Chou immediately ordered his troops, led thousands of cavalry and rushed out, and began to formally pursue.
"Lord, sand and dust are rolling on the horizon. Depending on the situation, the enemy's cavalry are coming towards us!" Soon, soldiers came to report to Cao's army. In fact, there was no need to report. The smoke and dust in the distance were rolling, and Cao Cao saw it.
"Retreat, discard the excess supplies and continue walking! As long as you reach Sizhou, reinforcements from Hanoi will come!" Cao Cao announced immediately.
"Lord, why don't I come to the palace behind?" Cao Xiu stepped forward, and she couldn't even figure out why Cao Cao had to retreat before he started fighting, especially the tiger and leopard riding off the horse, and also had to take off his armor and walk.
"No, just retreat, obey the order!" Cao Cao shouted, and Cao Xiu had to abide by the order.
In this way, a large amount of supplies were thrown away, including many open dates for preparation of rations. Soon, Wen Chou came over and saw the baggage on the ground, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised. In her opinion, Cao Cao seemed to know that he was not capable of the enemy, so he fled in a hurry. In order not to drag down his speed, he threw away some extra things.
"General, I found a bag of dry food... this thing is quite delicious." The deputy general came over with a pocket at this moment.
"Oh, I see..." Wen Chou took it over, touched it inside, and took out a jujube. After smelling it, the fragrance of sesame seeds and flour, and then bit it down. Although it was not so soft after two days, the inside was not so soft, but it was crispy and sweet and delicious on the outside.
"It's sweet and delicious, but it's quite interesting. This Cao army is too luxurious, and the dry food in the marching is so delicious. This kind of person wants to be an enemy of us!" Wen Chou immediately felt contemptuous of Cao Cao.
In Hebei, the grain here is affected by the climate, so the yield is not high. In the bitter and cold place, the food is relatively simple, which means that the subsequent eating of flour is passed on and the recipe begins to become rich.
Even so, because of the lack of ingredients and the cost of food, Yuan Shaojun’s food was actually not very good. One year, there was a famine and even mulberries were eaten as military rations. It would be strange if this thing could be full.
A hard and simple life has developed the strong combat power of Hebei soldiers. Even if the training is poor, the combat awareness is very strong. After training, you can quickly become elite soldiers. It cannot be denied that the food rations are indeed... not delicious!
"This thing is fried. If they all use this military ration, I don't know how much oil they have to consume. Cao Cao even had to eat so extravagantly. I guess the headquarters has no combat power. We might as well chase after them slowly and see how they!" Wen Chou thought for a while, and then said slowly near.
"But the lord's meaning is to let us chase and kill us directly." The deputy general said carefully.
"Just catch up and eliminate it within two days. I will put them in a state of panic and let them scare themselves. Then we are waiting for our work, why worry about not beating each other?" Wen Chou is also brainy.
"General is wise!" The deputy generals couldn't argue with anything when they heard this.
"Okay, let the things be distributed so that everyone can try them too!" Wen Chou ate another one, and the more he chewed the thing, the more he chewed it, it was not easy to get addicted. So he threw it away and asked the deputy general to distribute it.
The deputy general was helpless. He thought he could perform well while Yan Liang passed away. After all, Wen Chou was extremely concise, but he was also a tall beauty. In the past, there was Yan Liang, but everyone was not good at attacking him. Now Yan Liang is gone, and everyone thinks that he might be the lucky one. However, Wen Chou doesn't even look at them...
Wen Chou slowed down his pursuit, but Cao's army kept moving westward, constantly discarding supplies along the way. At first, there were tents and some unused tools, then pots and pans, and even some seasonings and military rations.
Wen Chou hung behind the Cao army's large army, without attacking, and slowly advanced, and at the same time stopped to pick up the fallen supplies. For many soldiers, this thing can be collected as spoils. If it is valuable, it can be exchanged for some money when sold, which is a fortune from heaven.
Cao's army also changed from being nervous at the beginning to being panicked. Finally, it felt like it was a little panicked. A few troops actually left the large troops.
Several literati also kept coming to the banquet, admonishing all kinds of people, risking their lives to make excuses, and making generous speeches. However, Cao Cao wanted to "do his own way", which made the large army panic.
"Cao Cao, come here!" The next day, Wen Chou led a thousand cavalry in his headquarters to charge against Cao's army. Almost all the other troops stayed behind and were somewhat scattered.
"Cao Xiu!" Seeing this, Cao Cao raised his lips slightly, "Get on the horse! I've been frustrated for a few days. It's time for you to show off!"
