    Jushou suddenly shouted loudly, struggled out, and pounced on Yuan Shao.  Yuan Shao's sword suddenly penetrated Jushou's body, and Jushou spurted a mouthful of blood on Yuan Shao's face, laughing like crazy.

    "Hahahahaha!!! I hope my blood can wake you up from your coma, and my death can shock you into your mediocrity!! Hahahahahaha!!!!"

    Jushou¡¯s laughter stopped, he stared at Yuan Shao, and died.  Yuan Shao's whole face was trembling violently, he pulled out his sword and shouted to the two soldiers.

    ¡°Drag this madman out for me and cut his body into minced meat!!!!¡±

    The two soldiers responded in unison and dragged Ju Shou's body out of the tent.  However, both of them respected Jushu and found a place to bury it. Then they looked for a wild dog everywhere and chopped it into minced meat as a resurrection.

    It is really a pity that the next generation of Yuan Shao's heroic and loyal minister Jushue met such an end.

    However, Yuan Shao did not stop his desire to resist Cao Cao because of Ju Shou's death, and immediately ordered all his troops to lead troops to meet him.  Three hours later, I saw flags all around, swords like a forest, and murderous intent. Although there was no fighting, the smell of blood seemed to be constantly coming from all directions.

    Cao's and Yuan's armies formed formations on both sides.  Xu You ordered 10,000 crossbowmen to lie down on the two wings, and 5,000 archers to lie down inside the gate flag. He invited Cao's army to stay close, and the cannons fired.

    Bang~!  Bang~~!  !  !  Bang~~~!  !  !  !

    After the three drums were played, Yuan Shao, with his golden helmet and gold armor, brocade robe and jade belt, and his whole body resplendent with gold and jade, stood upright in front of the formation with the attitude of an emperor like a nine-five-year-old man.  On the left and right are Zhang Jia, Han Meng, Chunyu Qiong and other generals.  The flags and flags are very strict.

    When Cao Zhen came to the flag gate, he saw Cao Cao, wearing black gold fire cloud armor, red Xichuan brocade robe, lion head jade belt, holding a heavenly sword, like an ancient emperor, waving his whip and riding out.  Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Xia Hou Chun, Xia Hou Yuan and other generals, all of them peerless heroes, each armed with weapons, supported the front and rear guards.

    Cao Cao shouted loudly and pointed at Yuan Shao with his whip.

    "Yuan Benchu, before the present emperor, I hereby declare you to be the general. You are famous all over the world and hold a very high position. Why are you so greedy that you conspire to rebel and seize the world of the Han Dynasty!?"

    Yuan Shao has always been a head above Cao Cao, but now he was scolded by Cao Cao in public. He was so angry that he rode his horse forward and roared violently.

    "Cao Ahao!!! You are treacherous and rebellious, and you are as evil as the sea. You pretend to be a Han prime minister, but you are actually a traitor to the Han! You secretly manipulate the emperor, manipulate the court, and subvert the country. You are extremely sinful. You are worse than Zhang Rang and Dong Zhuo. No one in the world.  If you are not ashamed, I will kill you soon! On the contrary, I, Yuan Benchu, sit in charge of the three states of Ji, You, and Qing. I work to quell troubles for the country and build good fortune for the people.  "Nervous minister, how dare you, a traitor, to falsely accuse someone of rebellion?"

    "Hahaha, Yuan Benchu, you are self-reliant and have never listened to the orders of the imperial court. The people of the three states are in dire straits because of your forced taxation and forced recruitment of strong men into the army. The three states are full of complaints and resentment.  You have great ambitions and are trying to ruin the country and harm the people, but you dare to say that you are a capable minister, do you have any sense of shame!"

    Cao Cao laughed in anger, his words were sharp, and every word was like a knife cutting his heart. Yuan Shao's angry face was ferocious, his whole body was trembling, and he shouted violently.

    "Cao A'hao, you are no more than an eunuch. I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family in Runan, are of high moral character. How can I allow you, the son of an eunuch, to speak arrogantly and humiliate you? If I don't kill you now, I can't express my hatred!!!"

    "Withered bones in the grave, ignorance!"

    Cao Cao smiled coldly and said a few words, which made Yuan Shao furious and unable to control it. Just as he was roaring, Cao Cao said again.

    "Today, I, Cao Mengde, in accordance with the emperor's will, raise an army to punish you, an evil traitor and traitor! Yuan Benchu, if you know the power of heaven, why don't you quickly dismount and accept surrender!!!"

    "Wow wow wow!! Cao Ahao, I, Yuan Benchu, will do justice for heaven today and get rid of you, the big traitor! Come here, catch the thief Cao for me!!!"

    Yuan Shao was so furious that he opened his jaws to fight.  Cao Cao's eyes, which could engulf the world, condensed, and a cry of "Evil is coming" was aroused. Dian Wei laughed heartily and couldn't wait to jump on his horse to meet him.

    The two generals rushed towards each other, opened their jaws, danced their spears and shouted loudly, Dian Wei roared loudly, they saw the two approaching, opened their jaws and stabbed Dian Wei first with his spear, heading towards Dian Wei's throat.

    ¡°Well done!!!¡±

    Dian Wei roared excitedly, used his halberd to block Zhang Jia's spear, and swung the halberd with the other hand to stab Zhang Zhi's head. Zhang Jia hurriedly evaded and pulled the gun back, Dian Wei laughed loudly, and came again.  To kill, Zhang Jia quickly fired his gun and killed Dian Wei in the same place.  Dian Wei was very powerful with his powerful attacks, and his jaw opening was quick and cunning with his spear. The two of them fought fiercely.

    The shadows of spears and the light of halberds kept flying around. Unknowingly, the two generals fought for forty or fifty times, with no winner or loser.  When Cao Cao saw this, he was secretly amazed, and suddenly shouted the word "Zhongkang". When Xu Chu heard this, his tiger eyes shot out with divine light, he brandished his sword and galloped his horse straight out to help in the battle.  Generals Han Meng and Chunyu Qiong shouted in unison, and each raised their weapons to catch Xu Chu.  Two??The soldiers fought in two places.

    Gradually, Dian Wei gained the upper hand over Dian and Zhang. The power of the dragon and elephant was really terrifying, and his jaws were gradually unable to resist, and his gun style was chaotic.  And Xu Chu showed great power. He fought against the two generals Han Meng and Chunyu Qiong with one man, and actually had the upper hand. He swung the tiger-headed sword so tightly that Han Meng and Chunyu Qiong were forced to retreat.

    Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly ordered Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to lead three thousand cavalry each to charge into the formation.  When Xu You saw Cao Jun coming to charge the formation, he smiled coldly. When he saw it getting closer, he ordered the cannon to be fired.

    So two thousand crossbows were fired at the same time, and the archers in the central army rushed out of the formation and fired randomly.  The Xiahou brothers led the cavalry in a fierce charge, but were immediately shot dead. Most of their troops and horses were lost. Seeing that it was difficult to resist the enemy, the Xiahou brothers looked south and hurried away.  Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw this and sent his troops to cover up the killing. Cao Cao saw that the situation was not good and quickly sent an order to withdraw his troops.  Yuan's army rushed to the rear and Cao's army fled in panic. After a great defeat, they all retreated to Guandu.

    Yuan Shao won for a while and his ambitions were greatly shaken. He took advantage of the situation and moved his army to approach the lower village of Guandu.

    Xu You, the military advisor of Yuan Jun, once again offered advice and taught Yuan Shao Dao.

    "Cao's army is newly defeated. Now we can take advantage of the situation and mobilize one hundred thousand troops to guard Guandu. We will build a mountain in front of Cao Cao's stronghold and ask the soldiers to look down at the stronghold and fire arrows. If Cao Cao abandons this pass, I can gain access to this pass and attack it.  If you retreat and defend, the matter will be settled!"

    "Hahahaha, this is a great plan!!!"

    Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard the plan, so he followed it and selected strong soldiers from each village. They used shovels and earth to carry them to the side of Cao Cao's stronghold and built a mountain of earth.  Cao Cao was horrified when he saw Yuan's army building a mountain of earth. Knowing the dangers involved, he immediately summoned all his troops to come out of the stronghold to clash.  Unexpectedly, Xu You had already taken precautions and ordered his crossbowmen to guard the choke points. Whenever he saw Cao Jun coming to charge, he would immediately use a rainstorm of arrows to stop Cao Jun's troops from advancing.

    Within ten days, Yuan Jun built more than 50 earthen hills, erected high oars on them, and assigned archers and crossbowmen to shoot arrows on them. There was constant turmoil. Cao Jun's villages suffered numerous casualties, and everyone was frightened. They all defended with shields and arrows.  Where there was a bang on the earth mountain, arrows rained down.  Cao's army fell to the ground, while Yuan's army shouted and laughed.

    Yuan Jun has gained advantages one after another, which can be said to have changed his previous embarrassing situation.  Yuan Shao was overjoyed for days, hoping that Qu Yi's army would arrive soon, defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and seal the victory.

    Yuan Shao is happy, and Cao Cao is naturally worried.  Cao Cao saw that the army was in panic, and there were more and more casualties in each camp every day. If he continued to defend, he was afraid that there would be more accidents in the army. But if he abandoned the camp and lost the pass, even if Gao Lan's army arrived, it would be a disaster.  A long and hard fight.  Seeing that the situation was gradually losing momentum, Cao Cao quickly gathered his advisers to ask for advice.

    Liu Ye, Cao Cao's adviser, knew the craft well and had a countermeasure in mind, so he quickly reported it.

    "Prime Minister, don't worry, I have a way to defeat Yuan Jun's mountain."

    "As soon as the plan comes out of An, Ziyang comes to me quickly."

    "The Prime Minister didn't know something. Ye once studied a cart. This cart can launch earth and rocks. It has great power and can break walls and rocks with ease. Now a stone cart can be used to break it."

    After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and quickly ordered Liu Ye to enter the chariot. He built hundreds of stone chariots overnight and distributed them inside the camp wall, facing the ladder on the mountain.  When Yuan Jun's archers fired arrows, everyone in the camp pulled the stone cart together, and the cannon stones flew into the air, and they were fired upwards.  There was no place for people to hide, countless archers died, and the earth and mountains were broken and collapsed everywhere.

    Yuan Jun all called his chariot the "Thunderbolt Chariot". They were frightened when they saw the chariot and retreated in panic when they saw its shadow.  Because Yuan Jun did not dare to climb high and shoot arrows, Yuan Shao was anxious and came to look for Xu You.

    Xu You came up with another plan, teaching Yuan Shaoling's soldiers to use shovels to dig a tunnel secretly, directly into Cao's camp, and named it the "Digging Army".  Cao Bing saw Yuan Jun digging a pit behind the mountain and reported to Cao Cao.  Cao Cao was in a panic, but Guo Jia was calm. He sat quietly at the table, smiled calmly, and said.

    "Yuan's army cannot attack the light but the dark. It is expected that he must have discovered a hidden path and wanted to break through the camp from underground."

    Cao Cao knew what he wanted and was determined, so he asked again.

    "According to the view of Fengxiao, how should we control it?"

    Guo Jia stood up, bowed, and spoke slowly and resolutely.

    "You can dig a long chasm around the camp, but then it will be useless to cover the road."

    "Haha, this is a great idea."

    Cao Cao laughed and acted according to his plan, sending troops to dig trenches overnight.  Yuan Jun dug a road to the edge of the chasm, but was unable to enter, thus wasting his military strength.  The two armies were temporarily in a stalemate.

    Yuan Jun retreated for more than thirty miles, and Cao Cao sent his generals out of the camp to patrol.  One day, Xu Chu led a tiger and leopard cavalry patrol, and saw a group of people taking advantage of the cover of night to inquire around not far from the entrance of the road.  Xu Chu ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to move slowly and lightly. When they came closer, the pair of men and horses fled in panic. However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were Cao Cao's ace soldiers and horses. They captured them all at once and tortured them.  , learned that Yuan Jun was working carefully.  Xu Chu also asked about the reality of his army.

    He replied carefully.

    "Sooner or later, General Han Meng will transport food to the army to provide relief, and he will first order us to explore the way."

    After Xu Chu heard this, he quickly said this?Inform Cao Cao.  Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at Guo Jia. Guo Jia was delighted and stood up to admonish him.

    "Han is a fierce and brave man. If you send one man to lure thousands of light cavalry, attack them from halfway, cut off their food and grass, and Yuan's army loses their food and grass, how can there be no reason for chaos?"

    Cao Cao nodded slightly and asked again.

    "Who can go?"

    As soon as Cao Cao said this, Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him both had their eyes shining and looked at Guo Jia with powerful eyes.  Guo Jia smiled lightly.

    "It was actually Zhong Kang who found out about this matter, so Zhong Kang should be dispatched."

    Xu Chu immediately laughed proudly upon hearing this. Dian Wei was slightly disappointed, but Guo Jia's arrangement was appropriate, and Dian Wei accepted it in his heart.  Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's suggestion and immediately sent Xu Chu to lead out three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry. Later, to ensure the success, he also sent Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun to lead troops to rescue.

    That night, Han fiercely escorted thousands of grain trucks and sent them to Yuanzhai.  While walking, a well-equipped cavalry suddenly blocked the way in the valley.  When Han Meng saw the armored cavalry, his expression changed drastically, and he knew they were Cao Jun's extremely brave tiger and leopard cavalry.  The general who led the army had a tiger's head and a tiger's head, and was huge in stature. Han Meng immediately recognized it as Xu Chu, the fierce general of Cao's army.

    Han Meng was panicking, but he didn't know that Xu Chu's flying horse was coming to fight. Han Meng panicked and caught him and started fighting.  The tigers and leopards then killed the scattered people and set fire to the grain carts.

    Han Meng couldn't resist, so he turned his horse back and ran away.  Xu Chu shouted loudly and urged the army to burn all the baggage.  Yuan Shao's army saw a fire rising in the northwest. Just as he was shocked and suspicious, the defeated army surrendered and reported it everywhere in the army.
