Everyone under Cao Cao's command was helpless when they heard the words.
This Cao Cao has had trouble sleeping and eating for the past two days, but now that he heard the good news, he got better immediately?
Not only that, this is not just good news of a war victory.
Cao Cao is also keenly aware that this endless confrontation has turned around.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other for such a long time, and there were not too many casualties on both sides.
But what Yuan Shao did was like a knife to himself.
The news of Xu Du's big victory is enough to boost the morale of Cao Jun, and the morale of Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side must be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Xun Yu didn't just come here to report the good news this time.
"After the Lord Situ wiped out Liu Bei's troops, he realized a new opportunity and led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the north. Time was running out, so he sent me to inform, and wanted the Prime Minister to mobilize troops to cooperate!"
"Cooperate?"
Cao Cao was perplexed: "Going to the north?"
Xun Yu said: "Yes, Master Situ has found out that Yuan Shao's grain and grass are all stored in Wuchao and the white horse!"
After Xun Yu's words came out, everyone was shocked again.
Cao Cao also opened his eyes wide in shock.
...
Chapter 206
This strategy was implemented so suddenly.
Then Yuan Shao had no time to strengthen the defense of Wuchao and Baima.
If you think about it this way, the Wuchao and the white horse are already in Cao Jun's pocket.
After Wuchao and Baima were attacked, Yuan Shao didn't have enough cavalry to rescue them.
On Cao Ang's side, although there are only less than three thousand soldiers and horses in hand, the less than three thousand soldiers and horses are all the elite of the Cao family's elite.
Compared with Yuan Shao's army who stayed behind in Wuchao and had a white horse, it was like heaven and earth.
It is only a matter of time before Wuchao and Baima are broken.
As long as Cao Ang breaks through these two places of Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao's army will surely run out of food, supplies, and backup support.
The reason why Cao Ang sent Xun Yu over was not only to report the news, but also to let Cao Cao cooperate with him.
Now the opportunity of Yuan Shao's serious injury is in front of their eyes.
Cao Ang was able to think of such a plan in an instant, which really shocked everyone present.
Such vision, strategy, and reaction speed are really amazing.
Cao Cao originally thought that this war might last for a long time. After all, the strength of the two sides was very different, and Cao Cao did not dare to act rashly.
But it's only been a few months, and it's almost over?
The reason is that when Cao Ang made a move, he directly and completely rewrote the situation he was facing.
From this point of view, Cao Jun has already won this battle.
"Zixiu is really powerful, pass on my order, the whole army is ready, cooperate with Zixiu, and take down Yuan Shao!"
Cao Cao was full of excitement and said confidently: "Then Yuan Shao will definitely be in chaos after he knows that his rear is being attacked. Then it will be an excellent opportunity for us to attack. Zixiu and I will fight against each other one by one. Yuan Shao is caught in the middle, quickly wipe out!"
……
Liu Bei's sneak attack failed, resulting in more than 5000 cavalry being ambushed, throwing away their helmets and armor, and fled in despair, leaving less than one-ninth.
The most important thing is that Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, the three powerful generals, were instantly killed by Cao Ang.
After hearing such news, Yuan Jun was in chaos.
Although Yuan Shao's army is all elite, their morale is already low after they have withstood the pressure of public opinion.
Now it has suffered a severe blow.
Especially after everyone heard about Cao Ang, they all didn't dare to be hostile to him, and some timid ones were so scared that they peed their pants.
Yuan Jun, without exception, was a little panicked and didn't know what to do.
After Yuan Shao heard the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's confidant, they are both dead, how can they fight?
Afterwards, Xu You was directly imprisoned by Yuan Shao.
Xu You was terrified: "General, why is this? I am also thinking of the general. It is really unpredictable in war!"
"There is nothing wrong with the strategy at home. What is wrong is that Liu Bei and others failed to show the strength of the strategy. Why did the general treat me like this?"
How could Xu You dare to think that so many people couldn't even take Xu You down?
He was even a little shocked that he hadn't even lived a day.
Yuan Shao was very angry at this time, but now Yuan Shao couldn't find anyone to vent his anger, so he could only suppress Xu You and cut him off.
Regardless of whether it's because of the right or wrong strategy, Xu You really made Yuan Shao miserable.
Yuan Shao was very angry now, and he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, and he didn't dare to speak out.
Only the military adviser Jushou said afterwards: "General, I feel that something bad is about to happen, and now things are getting more serious!"
When Yuan Shao heard the words, he said anxiously, "What do you mean?"
Ju Shou then explained: "Liu Bei's failure has caused us to lose the quick-response troops. If Wuchao is attacked now, we will have nothing to do!"
Yuan Shao came to attack Cao Cao this time. Although he brought more than 1 elite troops, only more than [-] cavalry were among them.
And now there are not many cavalry left.
The reason why Yuan Shao didn't bring so many cavalry was because the terrain of Guandu did not allow the cavalry to take advantage.
Although the cavalry is useless, it is a good choice for support and sneak attack.
Ju Shou was very keenly aware of the unfavorable factors.
