As the saying goes, there are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond heaven.

Yuan Shang is a smart man. The plan and implementation of his sneak attack on Xu Du was quite exquisite. However, there were too many smart people in the world, but he was not the only one.

Born to be a hero, a hero, a classic and historical figure in his belly, a armored warrior in his chest, his fortune is like Fan Li, and his decisions are like Chen Ping.

There are countless talents in the Central Plains, but by their wits and strategies, they are the most important thing for Guo Jia, who is under Cao Cao's tent.

Just because there were too many letters, we could see Yuan Shang’s true intentions and guess Yuan Shang’s retreat route. The genius Guo Jia is indeed well-deserved.

This person is really terrible.

The words are divided into two ends.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, two days have passed like a flying pass.

In the past two days, under Xun Yu's arrangements, Cao's army tried to break out of the siege and report to Cao Cao several times, but Yuan's army was extremely strict in defense. Don't say a messenger, even a fly could not fly out.

In this way, he delayed Baba for two days. Xun Yu's heart became colder and colder, while Yuan Shang's heart became more and more stable.

It was not until the morning of the third day that Yuan Shang sent someone to summon Zhang He and Gao Lan to discuss strategies for withdrawing troops.

The two generals in Yuan’s army have been waiting for the past few days, and their usual thrills have completely disappeared. The expressions on their faces are either tired or tired. Their eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, which are really exhausted.

Yuan Shang felt very distressed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang strode forward, and personally tidied up his armor and clothes for the two generals with heartache. Then he bowed and said respectfully: "If the two generals worked hard to kill the enemy day and night, they could get the results of today. Yuan Shang has no choice but to thank the two generals for his father and the soldiers of Hebei here."

Zhang He was shocked when he heard this, shook his head quickly and replied, "The third young master said this to kill us. This is the last task. I should work hard. How dare you be such a great gift to the third young master!"

Gao Lan said with a smile: "That's it, it's just a few days off, what's the point? Isn't it happy to capture Cao Cao alive in the future, peel off the thief's skin, and finally wrap it around and sleep for a night, and make up for it. "

Yuan Shang smiled and nodded: "General Gao's words are reasonable. If you think it's not enough, I'm making a chamber pot for you... How about taking Cao Cao's head?"

Gao Lan's mouth broke: "It's more enjoyable!"

Looking up at the city walls of Xuchang not far away, Yuan Shang showed a smile on his lips: "The siege for two days is almost done. Even if the city of Xuchang now sends a whistle to inform Cao Cao, it is too late. The purpose has been achieved. The two generals, we have no point in staying here... Let's go! The troops are going east, go to Xuzhou!"

Zhang He and Gao Lan Er looked at each other with relief and smiled.

But Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had thought of something again, and said with a smile: "But before that, I have to leave some small gifts for Cao Cao... Where is the boundary monument of Xu Du?"

The two generals suddenly became suspicious when they heard this.

The so-called boundary monument is an iconic stone monument established in the demarcation of prefectures and counties.

The names of prefectures and counties are carved on the stone tablet, which means that the territory behind the stone tablet is owned by the county town in the name. For example, the boundary monument of Chang'an is engraved with the words "Chang'an", the boundary monument of Luoyang is engraved with the words "Luoyang", and the boundary monument of Yecheng is engraved with the words "Yecheng"...

To put it bluntly, it is like a house number of someone.

By analogy, the engraved on Xudu’s bounding monument is naturally “Xuchang”.

When Yuan's army arrived at the boundary monument in Xudu, he saw Yuan Shang taking out a wooden box from his arms like a magician. It was filled with bright red cinnabar. It melted when it was encountered with water, and it was fixed when solidified.

Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other in confusion, completely unaware of what Yuan Shang was trying to do.

Yuan Shangbi was wiggling on the boundary marker for a long time, raising his hand to wipe his sweat, and waved his hands to the two generals with a smile: "The mission is done, now you can withdraw your troops to Xuzhou."

Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at the stone tablet carefully and couldn't help but wiped their cold sweat together.

Gao Lan's mouth broke and hesitated: "Three Master, is it a bit of a big deal for us to do this? If Cao Bing sees it when he comes back, he will catch up and bite us to death?... I see, let's wipe it off, don't mess with them too much."

Zhang He also smiled helplessly and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he closed his mouth and said nothing.

Yuan Shang turned over the horse, patted Gao Lan on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "General Gao, you are honest and really worried. As the saying goes, it is better to know than to see it, and it is better to do it. Let's come here all the way, how can you turn around and knock on the door at the door of someone else? I am polite."

Gao Lan's eyelids were twitching when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the boundary monument that was painted by Yuan Shang like a ghost painting talisman...

The third young master really likes to joke. It is polite to apply someone’s door face like this?

*********************

Speaking of Cao's army, after listening to Guo Jia's advice, Cao Cao no longer hesitated. While personally supervising the army to pursue Yuan Shao, he also sent general Xiahou Yuan to lead an elite force to quickly go south to Xu Du to help Xun Yu annihilate the Yuan army besieging Xu Du.

Among the eight tiger cavalry of Cao Wei in Cao Cao's family, Xiahou Yuan was best at rushing thousands of miles. He followed Cao Cao to fight bravely in his early years. He served as Sima and Cavalry Commander of other departments. Later, he was promoted to Chenliu and the prefect of Yingchuan. He was a great military achievement. In the Battle of Guandu, he was mainly responsible for supervising the transportation of food and grass for Cao Cao.

This time, Cao Cao sent him back to the army to rescue Xu Du, which was just right for his expertise.

Xiahou Yuan liked to rush to fight the most, and his march was extremely fast. From Cao Cao's order to reinforce Xu Du to his raid and returning, it took less than a day and night to survive his vanguard's reputation.

The army rushed back day and night, and was about to reach the boundary of Xu County. Xiahou Yuan, who was leading the way, narrowed his eyes and immediately sent an order to order the soldiers behind him to be rushing and ready to attack the enemy at any time.

The war horses neighed, the flags were waving, the wars were brimming, and the morale was like a rainbow.

Under Xiahou Yuan's leadership, the Cao army seemed to be a group of vicious wolf foraging, using their fierce and agile eyes to patrol every place where the enemy might be lurking. Just when the enemy showed up, they rushed forward with lightning speed, tearing the prey off their throats and tore them to pieces.

"Report—"

As he walked quickly, he saw a scout galloping towards him, like an arrow from a string, and in an instant he had arrived in front of Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan stood up with his horse, staring at the scout with aura, and opened his mouth and just said a word: "Speak!"

Xiahou Yuan only used military service for half his life, and his character was as fierce as annoying. He never procrastinated in his words and actions, showing his ability to do things.

The scout knew Xiahou Yuan's nature well and hurriedly reported: "I reported to General, there was no movement of Yuan's army outside Xudu City. All his troops and horses were evacuated, and no battalion, stove, soldiers and soldiers were left, but..."

"It's just something, I have something to say!" What Xiahou Yuan hates the most is hesitation.

The scout shivered when he heard this and hurriedly replied: "Although Yuan's army retreated, it left some traces of cinnabar on the north border monument of Xudu, which was very tragic... Please go and see it yourself."

On the boundary monument?

Very tragic?

What is this situation? What other tricks can a broken stone come up with?

Xiahou Yuan was confused, frowned slightly, clamped his legs under his seat, and led his troops to the border north of Xudu.

In a short while, the Cao army had already reached the northern realm marker. I saw the original bluestone erected on the solemn and solemn boundary marker. For some reason, it was painted by red cinnabar like a ghost painting talisman, circled and dotted, which was particularly terrifying.

Xiahou Yuan's expression changed and he hurriedly rushed forward and watched carefully.

After just a few seconds of looking, Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he stabbed the gun in his hand to the ground. His eyes were wide open, his nostrils opened and closed, and his atmosphere was spurted out like a bull, and he shouted angrily at the sky, which was particularly terrifying.

"Yuan Jun is all despicable and shameless! He will expose his wounds and not expose his sores, and he will not slap people in the face! Which bastard did this!"

Several school captains behind Xiahou Yuan looked forward together after hearing this...

Then, everyone was stunned.

But I saw that the stone tablet with the original smooth and flat character "Xuchang" was now swept by cinnabar on the left and right lines, and it was like a bloody book on the deathbed, which was as cold as the coldest people.

What's even more hateful is that the content written on it is, although it makes people understand it, but it is not a good thing at first glance.

But a crooked line of red characters covered up the sharpness of the word "Xu Du", like a shrimp, extremely shady, and there was a silly smiling villain behind it.
