Killing Cao Chun, Le Jin, Cao Zhang, and killing three generals of Cao Ying in a row, Yuan Fang's power soared to the sky and shocked the entire army.
"Let me, my king, continue to pursue and kill all the enemy invaders¡ª¡ª" Yuan Fang plucked up his energy, and taking advantage of the potential of victory, he waved his troops to cover up the killing.
Collapse, complete collapse, and loss of fighting spirit, Cao Jun could only allow the Qi army to slaughter.
In this battle, although Yuan Fang beheaded Cao Zhang and defeated five thousand enemy troops, such heavy losses finally bought enough time for Cao Cao to escape.
Yuan Fang pursued Cao Cao for a day and a night. Seeing that Cao Cao had fled far away and it was difficult to catch up, he was afraid that the battle line would be too long and he would encounter an ambush by Cao Cao's army on the other side, so he ordered his troops to withdraw and return to Jianmen Pass.
After fleeing all the way, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Yuan Fang had withdrawn his troops, and then he dared to stop and take a breath.
At this time, defeated generals such as Pang Tong, Sima Yi, and Li Dian also came to join them one after another. Most of these defeated generals were lost, their bodies were stained, and their morale and morale fell to the bottom.
Sitting under the tree beside the avenue, Cao Cao's face was pale and gloomy as iron. He stared at the dejected troops with open eyes, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"This is all that's left of the 40,000-strong army. Two generals, Chun Di and Le Jin, also died in the battle. This battle is really"
While Cao Cao was still sighing, a group of defeated soldiers hurriedly came to join him from the north.
The two generals who were dejected at first were Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
Cao Cao raised his eyes and scanned, but could not see the figure of his son Cao Zhang. He suddenly became nervous and hurriedly stood up and asked: "Where is Zhang'er? Where is Zhang'er? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Chu said silently: "Master, we can't save him. The young master has beenkilled by Yuan Fang."
A thunderbolt struck his head.
Cao Cao's body shook violently and his feet went weak. He stumbled back a few steps, and his scorched face became distorted in an instant.
"Zhang'erhe was actually killed by the little thief Yuan Fang?"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out words of hatred from between his teeth.
Endless anger, endless hatred, like a gushing volcano. Erupted from the bottom of Cao Cao's heart.
In an instant, Cao Cao was almost incinerated physically and mentally.
First time, Cao Hong was killed, then Xia Houyuan was beheaded, and the two brothers were killed by Yuan Fang. Cao Cao's hatred for Yuan Fang has reached an indescribable level.
Now. Even his own son was killed by Yuan Fang!
"Yuan Fang, if I, Cao Cao, don't kill you in this life, I will never be a human being~" Cao Cao was so shocked and furious that he cursed loudly, and his steel teeth were almost broken.
The civil warriors and soldiers on the left and right remained silent. He was afraid of offending the angry Cao Cao.
In anger, Cao Cao shouted: "Go quickly and send an order to Yuan Rang, asking him to bring the 40,000 troops and horses besieging Jiangyou to come and join him. I will fight to the death with that little thief and avenge my Zhang'er!"
Yuan Fang sent Wei Yan to successfully sneak into Yinping and unexpectedly attacked Jiangyou City. Cao Cao was forced to have no choice but to fear that he would lose something behind him. Xiahou Dun had no choice but to send more than 40,000 troops to recapture Jiangyou.
"It's a pity that although Xiahou Dun is powerful, Wei Yan is not a vegetarian. With only more than 20,000 troops, he penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland and defended Jiangyou City.
It was precisely because Wei Yan held back half of Cao Cao's troops. This laid the foundation for Yuan Fang to defeat his army and seize Jianmen Pass.
Now Cao Cao is eager to avenge his son, and actually wants to mobilize Xia Houdun's 40,000 troops. Go north to Jianmen again and make up your mind with Yuan Fang.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present, both civil and military, was shocked.
Everyone knows that under the current situation, Cao Cao is clearly acting out of his own will and will suffer another defeat.
However, Cao Cao was very angry and no one dared to persuade him for fear of being angered by Cao Cao.
No one said anything, but Pang Tong couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to stand up and said with cupped hands: "Lord, our army has suffered a huge defeat today. We have lost our troops and generals, and our morale has dropped to the bottom. More importantly, the natural barrier of Jianmen Pass has been lost, and Yuan Fang Two hundred thousand troops have entered the Chengdu Plain. Our army only has 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses. How can we fight with them again? Please Lord"
"shut up!"
Before Pang Tong could finish saying "Lord", he was interrupted by Cao Cao's angry shout.
This Feng Chu was shaken, and when he raised his head suddenly, he saw Cao Cao glaring at him with a look of all kinds of complaints.
This time, Yuan Fang fell into Yuan Fang's plan to lure the enemy. Although it was Cao Cao's decision, if it weren't for Pang Tong's analysis and concluded that Yu Jin was credible, Cao Cao would not have made such a decisive decision.
If this were not the case, Cao Chun, Le Jin and Cao Zhang would not have died, Cao Cao would not have lost nearly 40,000 troops, let alone the natural danger of Jianmen Pass.
Now Cao Cao is blinded by anger and wants to avenge his son. It's fine if Pang Tong doesn't support it. He dares to oppose it. How can he not anger Cao Cao?
Cao Cao's resentful eyes were like needles, piercing Pang Tong's heart deeply, causing him to tremble and feel a sense of grievance.
In desperation, Pang Tong could only step aside and bow his head silently.
After Cao Cao lost his temper with Pang Tong, his anger subsided a bit. Once his anger subsided, his mind became much calmer and clearer.
"My lord, although the military advisor made a mistake in his judgment this time, which caused our army to suffer such a defeat, what he just said is not unreasonable. The enemy is strong and we are weak. At this time, it is really not appropriate to fight again. In Yi's opinion, for now For this plan, we should retreat to Fucheng first, regroup, and then make plans."
Sima Yi, however, looked at Cao Cao's face and saw that Cao Cao's anger had subsided and he had begun to intend to retreat, so he seized the opportunity to persuade him.
By the way, following Cao Cao's wishes, he blamed Pang Tong's misjudgment for the defeat.
Pang Tong looked angry when he saw Sima Yi targeting him, but he couldn't speak out. After all, his error in judgment did exist.
In desperation, Pang Tong had no choice but to eat coptis and swallow his anger.
However, Cao Cao had been persuaded. He glared at Pang Tongyi, let out a long sigh, and said unwillingly: "Zhongda's words are reasonable. Send an order and ask Yuan Rang to lead his army to join me in Fucheng. Zhang'er has this hatred. I must repay it!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, the young master¡¯s hatred is irreconcilable and must be avenged, of course.¡± Sima Yi immediately expressed his stance generously.
Cao Cao's anger calmed down, and with Dian Wei's help, he mounted his horse, filled with hatred, and slowly headed south.
All the troops went on the road. Pang Tong stayed where he was for a long time, watching Cao Cao's figure go away. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed secretly, then got on his horse and followed.
¡¡
Jianmenguan.
The aroma of wine and meat filled the air. More than 200,000 soldiers inside and outside Guancheng were celebrating this great victory.
Annihilated Cao Cao's nearly 40,000 main force. Seizing the natural barrier of Jianmen Pass and opening the throat to enter Shu. How could such a huge victory not make the soldiers rejoice and go crazy for it.
And Yuan Fang killed Cao Chun and Lejin. The legendary feat of killing Cao Zhang was spread crazily among the soldiers.
Yuan Fang's image became more and more popular among them, and in the hearts of the Qi army officers and soldiers, he almost existed like a god.
The admiration and respect of the soldiers for Yuan Fang has reached an unprecedented level. Even close to fanaticism.
Yuan Fang, who was high-spirited, would certainly not be stingy with rewards. Naturally, he would reward his soldiers who fought bloody battles with fine wine and meat.
Of course, Cao Cao paid for all these fine wines and meats.
I remember that Cao Cao was on the front line at Jianmen Pass in order to follow Yuan Fang. After a long and fierce battle, a large amount of grain and meat supplies seized from Liu Zhang's harvest were all transported to Jianmen Pass.
With this huge defeat and the sudden fall of Jianmen Pass, there was no time to burn these military supplies, let alone take them away.
So, Guancheng was broken. All the mountains of supplies stored in the pass fell into Yuan Fang's hands.
Yuan Fang rewarded all these materials to his meritorious soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Le Jin, Cao Chun, and Cao Zhang's corpse, should we chop off their heads and hang them on the city wall to increase the power of the King and frighten Cao's army." Ma Chao, who was full of wine, took advantage of the situation to make a suggestion. road.
Yuan Fang pondered for a moment, then waved his hands and said: "These three people are also considered famous generals in the world. Now that they have been executed, there is no need to humiliate them anymore. The dead are respected, so their bodies were packed thickly in coffins and transported to Fucheng." Give it to Cao Cao."
Although Cao Cao is Yuan Fang's mortal enemy, Yuan Fang has always had some respect for this heroic enemy.
Although Cao Zhang and other three generals were killed by him, their determination to fight to the death lived up to their reputation as warriors.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, so of course Yuan Fang must treat their bodies with courtesy.
Hearing Yuan Fang's order, Ma Chao and other civil servants and generals were filled with emotion. They were all deeply impressed by Yuan Fang's magnanimity and secretly admired him.
However, Yuan Fang raised his wine glass high, looked around the generals, and said boldly: "Tonight, let us drink as much as we can. After drinking this glass of wine, we will charge into the Chengdu Plain and wipe out the entire Yizhou in one go!"
¡°At one go, we will wipe out Yizhou!¡±
¡°At one go, we will wipe out Yizhou!¡±
All the generals were heroic and excited, raising their arms.Respond.
High-spirited fighting spirit and passionate shouts echoed over Guancheng.
¡¡
A few days later, Fucheng.
In the lobby, the atmosphere was deathly silent. Everyone in Cao Ying's civil and military staff was silent, staring at the three coffins in the hall, sighing secretly.
Those three coffins contained the bodies of Le Jin, Cao Chun, and Cao Cao's beloved son Cao Zhang respectively.
In the spirit of respecting the dead and a little respect for Cao Cao, Yuan Fang sent the bodies of the three people to Fucheng and handed them back to Cao Cao.
At the same time, Yuan Fang also sent a handwritten letter to Cao Cao.
Yuan Fang said confidently that Jianmen Pass has been lost and the Chengdu Plain is flat. Cao Cao cannot resist his iron hoof. The fall of Yizhou is only a matter of time.
At the end of the letter, Yuan Fang once again expressed his respect for Cao Cao, urging Cao Cao to submit to him and help him end this troubled world as soon as possible.
He also solemnly promised Cao Cao that as long as Cao Cao surrenders, the Cao family will be princes for generations, and their descendants will enjoy wealth forever.
"If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have chopped off the heads of these three people to scare us. However, Yuan Fang was able to return the bodies. His magnanimity is really extraordinary"
Pang Tong, who was silent, sighed secretly. Even as an enemy, he couldn't help but have some respect for Yuan Fang.
"Zhang'er, your father must avenge you. Sooner or later, my father will cut off the head of Thief Yuan and pay tribute to you!"
But Cao Cao gritted his teeth, hit Cao Zhang's coffin with his fist, and swore an oath bitterly.
At this time, Sima Yi, who had been meditating for a long time, suddenly took a deep breath and said loudly: "Yuan Fang has harmed the young master, and now he returns the coffin. He clearly wants to humiliate the lord. Don't worry, lord, Yi has a plan here, which can be used for the young master." Revenge."
