Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 381 New 3 Kingdoms 21

"My lord, why did you decide to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao after knowing that Liu Bei had lost all his soldiers and cities?" Liu Ye didn't understand this operation.

"Haha, Chen Deng in Xuzhou has an army of powerful troops and is not ambitious. We don't need to worry about them. Liu Bei has evil ambitions. He's a hero like me. His generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are extremely brave. I was worried that he would send troops to Nanyang, so I was hesitant about the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Now that Liu Bei has been defeated, I just take the opportunity to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao." Cao Cao explained while eating an apple in the carriage.

"So that's how it is. But my lord, Yuan Shao's army of 700,000 is coming at us aggressively. In his tent, we have Tian Feng, Ju Su, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu for civil affairs, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Zhang He for military affairs. It can be said that they are full of talented people. My lord's army has only more than 70,000 people. How can we resist the enemy?" Liu Ye didn't know where his confidence came from.

"How to defend against the enemy? Liu Ye, you didn't say much. Yuan Shao has countless advisers and brave generals, as well as an army of 700,000. I, Cao Cao, have only 70,000 people, and I don't have as many advisers and generals as Yuan Shao. However, I, Cao Cao, am enough. I, Cao Cao, can match all of Yuan Shao's advisers, generals, and soldiers!" If you give Cao Cao a tail at this time, he will definitely be so proud.

Yu Xian, who was hiding in the crowd, naturally couldn't stand such a pretentious person, so the original breeze suddenly turned into a gale, blowing Cao Cao's carriage and cavalry guards over, and even breaking the big banner.

Cao Cao himself fell off the carriage and landed on the ground, knocking out two of his front teeth.

After the strong wind died down, Cao Cao pulled out the Yitian sword from behind a general, pointed it at the blue sky and shouted.

"Damn God, why are you going against me, Cao Cao? Aren't you afraid that I, Cao Cao, will rebel against you, the damn God? Ah!"

After he finished shouting, there was a loud bang, and the large banner that had just been erected was broken by lightning. The counselors and generals were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

After this farce ended without any major accidents, the army arrived in Yangwu smoothly.

According to the director's arrangement, Cao Cao first forced Yuan Shao's army to retreat to Guandu in the initial battle, and then both sides consumed blood in this place.

According to the director's arrangement, Cao Cao had to show off at this time. So before the two sides started fighting, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a cup of tea and boasted in front of the two armies to show Cao Cao's outstanding vision and eloquence, and then stepped on Yuan Shao.

"Yuan Shao, we haven't seen each other for many years since we parted in Luoyang!"

As soon as Cao Cao opened his mouth, Yuan Shao saw that he was missing two front teeth. No wonder his voice sounded a little strange when he was shouting at him from a distance.

"Your front tooth, couldn't it be that you knocked it out because you lost your balance while peeing on the side of the road?" Yuan Shao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"When old friends meet, let's not talk about unhappy things." Cao Cao didn't expect Yuan Shao to be like this to him.

"Cao Aman, you are the only one who is unhappy when you talk about these things. We are all very happy! When we were young, you and I kicked down widows' doors, dug up graves of families with no descendants, and robbed brides. Thinking back to that day when we ran under the setting sun, that was our lost youth. It was so wonderful back then! But when did you start liking these pretentious ceremonies?"

Yuan Shao is determined to make life difficult for Cao Cao. I'll say anything to annoy you.

Question: How to make Cao Cao unhappy?

Answer: Tell him what he did.

"Yuan Shao, can't you just speak properly instead of exposing my shortcomings?" Cao Cao said coldly, putting down his teacup.

"Do I need to expose your shortcomings? Everyone in the world knows about it, Cao Aman. Where is your frankness when you criticize others? It's time to look in the mirror and get to know yourself."

Yuan Shao said earnestly that if you hadn't seen his gloating eyes, you would have thought he was doing it for Cao Cao's own good.

"Yuan Shao, I have tolerated you for a long time, and you have been laughing from the beginning!" Cao Cao could no longer pretend.

"Cao Aman, I have been strictly trained. No matter how funny something is, I will not laugh unless I can't help it!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing, and the last word even had a cracked sound.

"Yuan Shao, you are going too far! I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was your sarcasm. I won't pretend anymore, I am the protagonist, I'm going to show my cards!" Cao Cao smashed the cup directly.

“Hahahaha, you are the protagonist? No matter how stupid you are, I, Yuan Shao, have to support you, right?” Yuan Shao laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: “Protagonist… Protagonist, stop talking nonsense and start fighting! Hahaha…”

After saying this, Yuan Shao held his belly and laughed as he returned to his army. A group of personal soldiers quickly ran over to help him onto his horse. After they rode on the horse, Yuan Shao no longer had the playful smile he had just shown, but drew his sword and pointed it forward.

"Beat the drums! March! Charge straight at Cao Cao's two-wheeled cart!"

Cao Cao, who had already returned to the carriage, saw Yuan's army moving towards this side as the war drums sounded, and he also drew out the Heavenly Sword and slashed around, shouting hysterically.

"Charge! Kill Yuan Shao. If he doesn't die, we will die. Kill Yuan Shao, kill Yuan Shao, kill Yuan Shao..."

Ignoring the complacent Yuan Shao and the madly criticizing Cao Cao, the front lines of the two sides' soldiers had already started to engage, with shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing one after another.

As the two sides fought, they realized that something was wrong. The bright sunshine was blocked by dark clouds, and the wind was so strong that Cao Cao's army couldn't even open their eyes.

Yuan Shao was no fool, so he knew to seize this opportunity and quickly ordered his entire army to attack. Cao's army was thrown into chaos and was defeated all the way to Guandu before it stabilized.

At Guandu, in the main camp of Cao's army, Cao Cao, holding the sword of Heavenly Sword in his hand, looked at his advisers and generals with a gloomy face.

"Can anyone tell me what happened to Yangwu's defeat? The script I got was not like this. I defeated Yuan Shao, and it was Yuan Shao who retreated to Guandu! How come I, Cao Cao, am the one who retreated now? Ah!"

Everyone really didn't know how to answer him. Since the defeat in Xuzhou, Cao Cao had suffered a lot of defeats, and each defeat was basically a loss of his underwear. This time, the defeat was not that bad. It was just that his carriage was taken away by Yuan Shao.

"My lord, I think we should withdraw our troops and defend now to prevent Yuan Shao from dividing his forces to bypass Guandu and attack Xu County." Xun You quickly tried to change the subject.

"No, the script tells me that Yuan Shao will not divide his troops. I, Cao Cao, will fight him to the death here, to the death!" Cao Cao rejected the suggestion without even thinking about it.

"My lord, now we must stabilize the morale of the army so that we can confront Yuan Shao." Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was too concerned about his reputation so he could only speak casually to deal with it.

"My presence here is enough to stabilize the morale of the army. There is no need to add unnecessary things!" Cao Cao didn't care about this.

Well, Cao Cao had to bring bad luck to himself. First, he was blown off his horse by a gust of wind on the march. When the battle officially started, the clear sky was suddenly covered with thick clouds, and his own army was blown away by another gust of wind.

It was obvious that God was not on his side and wanted to find a scapegoat to take the blame for the defeat in the first battle. However, everyone outside Shouchun City was chilled by his plan to kill the warehouse official An Junxin. How could he possibly fulfill his wish?
