Chapter 1606 Reality and Future
The fifth year of Yanping, early March.
When Fei Qian ascended to the position of Hussar, when the people of Chang''an were enjoying peace and harmony, on the distant Yanzhou battlefield, the strong wind stirred up countless dust and yellow sand, and the dust flying all over the sky blocked the rays of the sun. They are all covered up, the sky seems to be yellow, and the ground seems to be red.
Cao Cao held the long sword at his waist in one hand, and held a towel in the other to cover his face from the wind and sand. He wrapped his long beard, mouth and nose, squinted his eyes, and carefully observed Yuan Jun in the distance, looming in the wind and sand. Camp.
??Cao Cao wore this simple war robe, and even when the cloak that covered the wind and sand was flying in the wind, the patch hidden on the inside of the cloak was exposed...
??If people who don''t know Cao Cao look at it, they will definitely think that Cao Cao is just an ordinary small leader in the army.
?No one thought that Cao Cao would be so bold as to approach Yuan Jun''s camp for reconnaissance. Maybe the next moment Yuan Jun''s gate would open wide and a group of hussars rushed out, and the outcome of the entire battle would change in an instant...
Under the hillside, there was originally a fertile field. However, with the decline of the population and the destruction of the war, the fertile field has completely dried up and cracked. There are some sparse weeds growing there, and there seems to be decayed and worthless fields. There are piles of wood and bones here and there.
At Cao Cao''s feet, there was a skull that was left behind from unknown time.
The skull appeared here strangely alone. I don''t know if it was abandoned by someone or picked up by an animal. The eaten skull had its mouth wide open, with the hole in its head, staring at the two black men. His eyes seemed to be complaining to Cao Cong, and his mouth with few big teeth seemed to be mocking...
"Yuan Jun didn''t make any movement..." Cao Cao didn''t even bother to look at the skull. He just stared at Yuan Jun''s camp in the distance, as if he was asking, and seemed to be asking and answering himself, "Maybe it''s because of the weather? Maybe it''s because of the weather? Is it because the food and grass haven''t arrived yet? Or maybe you want to use a trick to lure the enemy..." The food and grass in his camp are almost dry like this piece of cultivated land!
??Cao Cao has been extremely anxious these days, but he doesn''t dare to show it.
??The guards around Cao Cao were quiet, no one answered, and no one could answer.
All the way from Cao Cao, no one could give Cao Cao any answers.
There is no answer!
Everything requires Cao Cao to hit hard, touch, and then fight his way out with blood dripping from his head!
??Cao Cao originally just wanted to change his class symbol and no longer be called an **** all day long! So Cao Cao worked hard and was serious, but in the end Cao Cao found that the harder he worked, the more serious he became, and in the end it seemed like a joke...
Just like some of the gentry children in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, they seemed to be waiting to see Cao Cao''s jokes.
?That year, no one believed that Cao Cao could attack Dong Zhuo, and no one was willing to go. As a result, Cao Cao went without hesitation. As a result, he was defeated and almost lost his life...
That year, Yangzhou recruited troops again. No one believed that Cao Cao could make a comeback and have a second chance. So overnight, all the soldiers led by the military academy bombed the camp and escaped. Many people thought that Cao Cao would not be able to bear this kind of situation. It was a blow, but Cao Cao, wearing a blood-stained middle coat and disheveled hair, laughed and comforted the panicked Cao family and Xiahou family...
That year, during the Eastern Expedition to Qingzhou, millions of Yellow Turbans once swept through Yanzhou. Many people in many places did not believe that Cao Cao could win and did not dare to attack. They huddled in the city to avoid the Yellow Turbans. Only Cao Cao led the central army and directly attacked the Yellow Turbans'' main formation. , before the Yellow Turbans could fully react, they defeated the Yellow Turbans’ central army and immediately won a great victory...
That year, when Yuan Shu was attacked in the south, no one believed that Yuan Shu would be so vulnerable and end the battle so quickly. Many people advised Cao Cao to take it step by step, be sure, advance slowly, and digest it, but Cao Cao was still poor. The fierce pursuit finally cut off Yuan Shu''s last chance to make a comeback...
But this time, this year, Cao Cao faced Yuan Shao again.
?However, many people still don’t believe that Cao Cao can win...
There was a deep tiredness in Cao Cao''s eyes. In order to prove himself and make others believe in himself, he worked extremely hard and did too much. However, he still could not get the trust that Cao Cao wanted.
The emperor did not believe him.
The gentry in Yanzhou did not believe him.
? Even in Chen Liu’s hometown, there are people who don’t believe him...
?Under the flying yellow sand in the sky, every cell in Cao Cao''s body was actually shouting about hard work and exhaustion, but Cao Cao still stood upright like a stubborn rock on the hillside, remaining motionless despite the strong wind.
?Well, the main reason is that Cao Cao is small and the area affected by the wind is small...
?Cao Cao was silent and observing. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly turned around and walked back.
It is absolutely impossible for Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ??to just wait like this, they must be planning something!
Brother Benchu!
?You can''t hide it from someone!
But where does this specific move come from, and where will it attack?
??Cao Cao took one last look at Yuan Jun''s camp, closed his eyes, still held his head high, and walked down the hillside...
……………
?On the opposite side of the wind and sand, Yuan Shao, wearing a beautiful brocade robe, stood on top of Diao Dou in the camp, looking into the distance.
Today, for some unknown reason, Yuan Shao suddenly felt a little uneasy. After wandering around the Chinese army tent for two times, he climbed up to the top of the Diao Dou in the military camp and looked far into the distance.
The sky is filled with wind and sand.
?The weather like today is actually very weird.
Normally speaking, in March, how could there be such a strong wind?
The problem is, this is the reality.
?Yellow sand obscured the field of vision. Although I could see far into the distance, I still couldn''t see the distant scene clearly, only a vague shadow.
Yuan Shao frowned and looked around, his heart beating hard. This feeling was like when he went out of the east gate during the Luoyang Festival...
No, it’s not exactly the same.
Yuan Shao couldn''t tell what was different about it. An indescribable emotion spread in his heart, swirling and whistling like wind and sand, but he couldn''t see clearly.
The situation is like facing the future.
?Hangjie East Gate, and walked out with high spirits. Although he was weak at that time, Yuan Shao had confidence in his heart. He was not confused or afraid, because he knew that what greeted him in the east was not decline, but rise!
In the Bohai Sea, he was ostracized and choked in various ways. Even when it was most dangerous, there were Han Fu''s soldiers standing outside the door, but he was still not afraid because he knew that Han Fu was actually a guy who was about to be hollowed out. Push it down.
In the Battle of Jieqiao, the Chinese army was far away, and almost all the troops were sent out to chase Gongsun Zan''s soldiers. Suddenly, a group of Gongsun''s troops approached Yuan Shao''s place. Everyone panicked, but he was still not afraid, because he Knowing that Gongsun Zan has been defeated, there is no need to worry about the rest.
Yuan Shao thought that he could go all the way without fear and push through the fog of the future until he reached the highest peak. Therefore, when he attacked Bingzhou, he was still fearless and unafraid...
But the problem is, Yuan Shao is afraid after all. When Yan Liang died inexplicably and his body was hard to find, in the blink of an eye, a living general who could walk around the battlefield with swords and weapons as if they were on the ground, was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye...
??When Yuan Shao saw the scene at that time, his legs under his robe trembled. He thought that if he was one step ahead of Yan Liang, he would be the one who died without any bones left!
??In this world, this Han Dynasty, there are things that Yuan Shao doesn''t know about, and there are things that he has never seen!
On the road to the future, it seems that in the blink of an eye there are no longer just thorns, but also swords and guns hidden under the thick fog and sand, and even completely incomprehensible and powerful things...
For the first time, Yuan Shao experienced the fear of the future, felt the fear rising in his heart, and understood the situation where he would live if he made the right move, and die if he made the wrong move.
?This world seems to be like the current wind and sand, gradually deviating from Yuan Shao''s understanding, and also covering up Yuan Shao''s original prediction for the future...
…”
Yuan Shao muttered a few words in a low voice, and then disappeared in the wind and sand. Even the guards around him could not hear clearly.
“Lord…Lord…”
Panting, Tian Feng climbed onto Diao Dou. He originally planned to salute Yuan Shao, but unexpectedly, his legs and feet became weak and tilted to the side. If Yuan Shao''s guard hadn''t been quick and quickly pulled him, he might have fallen headlong. Go down.
"Yuan Hao, the wind is strong here. If there is something important, we can wait for it under the fight. Why bother to climb up?"
Yuan Shao frowned. Sometimes he felt helpless towards this stubborn old man. If it really fell, would anyone believe it if it was said that it was caused by a mistake? Maybe there will be rumors that day, saying that Yuan Shao personally pushed Tian Feng down...
“Lord, I’d like to inform you that...someone has a plan..." Tian Feng gasped, "Here, huh...it’s quiet and secluded here, so you don’t need to worry about others..."
Yuan Shao still frowned.
?As you say this, don’t the ears of the guard next to you count as ears? However, Yuan Shao also understood what Tian Feng meant. The others he was talking about were Guo Tu and his ilk.
“Yuan Hao might as well speak out.”
"My lord, you can order Zhang Junyi to leave Hanoi again, go straight into Heluo, and harass Cao Jun''s rear line! There is no need to attack the city, just disrupt Cao Jun''s food route!" Tian Feng said here, his energy returned, and his gray beard Shaking in the wind and sand, "This matter must be kept top secret! Cao Cao''s thieves will definitely not expect that we will be empty again if we leave Hanoi! As long as Cao Jun''s food route is disrupted, Cao Jun''s camp will collapse!"
In a normal ancient cold weapon battle, unless you are like Fei Qian, who can suppress the shooting of the archers on the camp while destroying the walls or gates of the camp in a short period of time, attacking a heavily guarded camp with complete defenses and sufficient troops, It is indeed a headache.
Just as Cao Cao was unwilling to rush to attack Yuan Jun''s camp, Yuan Shao was also unwilling to attack Cao Cao''s camp without any certainty.
Especially for Cao Cao''s camp, even Tian Feng and Guo Tu had a rare unified opinion, saying that the camp built by Cao Cao was in line with the requirements of the art of war and did not leave any loopholes. After that, they decided to storm Cao Jun''s camp. , everyone agrees that this is the next best thing.
“Leave Hanoi again?” Yuan Shao thought.
"Exactly! We are short of food and grass, and Cao Cao''s thieves must also be short of food! Therefore, the food road is more important than the mountains!" Tian Feng added, "It only takes two days, or at most three days, to send the order to Hanoi. Zhang Junyi will The troops marched out. On the next day, they marched from Hanoi to Heluo. On the third day, they sent a message to Cao''s thieves. On the second day, Cao''s army heard that they were being attacked on the back road. They were bound to be in chaos. By then, they could retreat and win in one fell swoop! Within, you can defeat Cao!”
?Of course, what Tian Feng described was the most ideal state, and Yuan Shao also knew this, but it seemed that this was better than wasting it.
“It’s natural to do that…” Yuan Shao nodded, “But… so many horses were damaged in Hanoi that they may not be of use anymore…”
"My lord, don''t worry!" Tian Feng said with cupped hands, "If my lord agrees, I will send a message to Ji. Even if I lose everything, I will gather 800 war horses for my lord to drive!"
"Good!" Yuan Shao stepped forward, personally supported Tian Feng''s arm, and said, "Yuan Hao is indeed loyal! I will order Zhang Junyi''s troops to leave Hanoi to disrupt Empress Cao!"
Tian Feng tremblingly climbed down from Diao Dou again. Yuan Shao watched for a long time, but then sighed slightly.
This time it’s all bankrupt again…
??Tian Toyota Yuanhao, how many times have you lost everything? Every time you swing, there will be thousands more soldiers and hundreds of horses. What is this called losing everything?
…
I don''t know when, the uneasy and indescribable emotion in Yuan Shao''s heart dissipated. Yuan Shao suddenly felt that his face and neck were filled with dust. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so he stopped staying above Diao Dou and prepared to go back to his account. Freshen up and change clothes.
As soon as Yuan Shao got out of Diao Dou, he turned a corner and met Xu You head-on.
??Xu You was smiling, followed by a follower. When he saw Yuan Shao, he quickly bowed and saluted, smiling so much that his eyebrows came together, "My lord! I have a new wonderful thing, and I came here to offer it to my lord!"
Yuan Shao laughed, and while walking forward slowly, he said: "What wonderful thing is it? It is praised by Ziyuan?"
Xu You waved to the back and asked his entourage to bring the lacquer box over. He then opened it himself and took out an item as exquisite as a silk hood. He showed it to Yuan Shao and said, "This item is clearly called ''Dingfeng Sha''. Weaving fine silk, and then using gold and silver threads to outline the solid shape, it can isolate the wind and sand and prevent it from being stuffy. It can also be seen in the wind and sand. It can be said to be a wonderful thing at the moment! "
In the Han Dynasty, most people used a scarf to cover their mouth and nose to cover the wind and sand. As for making a whole headgear like this, and then using tulle to leave room for vision at the eyes, it would not block much of the line of sight, but it could also block the wind and sand. Items, indeed there are none.
Yuan Shao took it in his hand, looked at the patterns outlined by the gold and silver threads on it, nodded, and then with Xu You''s help, he took off the crown and then put the hood on. He suddenly felt that the wind and sand were blowing in his face, and the whole world was It seemed that he felt a lot refreshed, "Haha, this thing is so wonderful! So wonderful! Ziyuan has a heart, he has a heart!"
“I also prepared a copy for the young master...” Xu You smiled so hard that he couldn’t see his teeth.
"Good! Very good!" Yuan Shao patted Xu You on the shoulder and said, "It''s the time to eat preserved meat, and it''s not as good as eating it alone. How about it?"
Xu You said quickly: "You are so lucky! You are so lucky! You will be blessed today!"
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "It''s just ordinary food...how can it be as wonderful as this?"
The group of people chatted and laughed and headed towards the Chinese army''s tent.
Tian Feng had just given instructions and was about to go to the back camp to check the remaining supplies of food and grass. When he saw Yuan Shao and Xu You talking and laughing in the distance, he couldn''t help but stop, leaning on his crutches, and frowning...
