Chapter 18 A Cup of Wine to Sacrifice the Yellow River(2/2)

But in the middle of the night, Le Jin suddenly sent someone to deliver an urgent message overnight, saying that there were constant reinforcements from the Yellow Turban bandits at Dunqiu, and they were all elite and young men. He was afraid that if the Han army did not arrive again, it would be difficult for him to attack there.

The arrival of such a letter finally made Cao Cao, who was muttering in his heart, unable to bear it anymore. He immediately broke into Gongsun Xun's tent regardless of the fact that it was getting late!

"Brother Meng De is not resting in his tent, why are you here with me?" Gongsun Xun had already taken off his armor and was currently studying his "Taiping Jing" in the tent. After seeing the visitor, the handsome man with five senses would

I wasn't very surprised, nor was I prepared for it. I can only say that I looked indifferent.

"Wen Qi." Cao Cao, who was well-dressed and well-dressed, rarely gave serious advice. "The military situation is like a fire. Can we wait until after the war to worship Wang Zhongtong?"

"Do you have anything to say?" Gongsun Xun still looked unconcerned and did not even ask the other party to sit down.

"Le Wenqian just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Dunqiu has received elite reinforcements from the Yellow Turban bandits entering the city one after another, and he is afraid that he will be unable to do so!"

"This is natural." Gongsun Xun clasped the "Taiping Jing" in his hand and sighed. "Our army came out of Hanoi in great force. When we passed Chaoge the day before yesterday, the yellow scarf thieves in Yan County should have known about it... Then the thieves quickly sent the message.

Puyang, Puyang quickly asked the cities in Hebei to go to support Dunqiu. Calculating the time, reinforcements from the thieves from Weiguo and other places should have arrived in a hurry yesterday."

"That being the case," Cao Cao said quickly, "Why delay? Why not march quickly to attack Dunqiu?"

"Can we win the battle by marching quickly?" Gongsun Xun asked with a smile after sitting down after a few cases. "Even if we march quickly into Dunqiu, the battle will have to start later, right? How many Yellow Turban reinforcements will arrive at Dunqiu by then?"

Cao Cao was speechless for a moment, but then he shook his head: "It's better than slowly rushing over to besiege the city and have a stalemate, right? Our army has mostly cavalry and is not good at attacking cities, but the thieves have more than 20 cities in Henan and Hebei. They take care of each other and come up with clever strategies...

...Wen Qi, that official of mine is indeed very brave, maybe he can succeed!"

"I also trust the Le Wenqian you talk about." Gongsun Xun smiled slowly again. "But even if such a situation can be achieved, how much damage will it cause? Our army has six to seven thousand people, and we bring the civilians to falsely claim that they are ten thousand.

People... the thieves occupy more than 20 cities, not just tens of thousands? If the next city has to be damaged by hundreds, it will be worse than losing! Besides, when I left before, I swore that the sources of the army were complex and unorganized. Could it be a lie?

Really? If we don’t go well in the first battle, wouldn’t it cause a huge loss of morale?”

Cao Cao raised his head thoughtfully, but suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "In that case, where does Wen Qi want to hit?"

Gongsun Xun smiled and said nothing.

"Wen Qi, on the day of the oath, you threatened me with killing Huan Dian's horse to establish your authority. I just pretended not to know..."

"Brother Meng De, are you too stingy?" Gongsun Xun finally stood up and smiled helplessly. "Huan's ancestral home is in the state of Pei, and he is a country party with you. How can he be angry with you because you killed his mount?"

As he spoke, Gongsun Xun bowed and took a cup from the table, then walked out with it in his hands.

"Where are you going?" Cao Cao couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the other party walking straight out of the tent.

"Since Brother Meng De thinks I'm wasting time, I have no choice but to pay homage to Wang Zhongtong in a hurry overnight." Gongsun Xun walked out with his hands behind his back without looking back. "Do you think that everything I said during the day is false?

Really? I am really grateful to Wang Zhongtong after being separated for hundreds of years!"

Cao Cao sighed when he saw this and hurriedly chased after him.

The two of them took advantage of the stars in the sky and the lights in the camp to arrive at the foot of the Yellow River Dam. They first took a jar of wine, and then boarded a fleet of boats connected with iron ropes... At this time, they were still burning lamps and binding iron ropes, and they were very busy.

There were no three animals, no sacrificial inscriptions, and no human heads were offered. Only a thin cup of wine was thrown into the river by Gongsun Xun as a token of sacrifice. Immediately, Gongsun Xun, dressed in single clothes, took the cup and walked back proudly.

But at this time, Cao Cao, who had abandoned the wine jar, finally realized that something was wrong!

The fleet in the river, especially those big ships that had taken down their ordnance early in the afternoon and evening, were still busy at this time... but Gongsun Xun clearly no longer needed them to be connected to form a phalanx platform in the river to hold ceremonies!

"Is this going to be a pontoon bridge?" The moment he stepped back to the north bank of the Yellow River, Cao Mengde suddenly realized what he was doing! "Are you going to suddenly cross the river to hunt the white horse tomorrow morning?!"

"Why tomorrow?" Gongsun Xun, who was walking in front, laughed and responded. "Brother Mengde, tell me that tomorrow we will lead those 'elites of the Northern Army' who have never been in battle to camp directly in Baima City. They

What kind of expression will it look like? Do you still dare to be convinced by my face?!"

Cao Cao followed the other party, half at a loss for words, half anxiously asking: "Send troops overnight, and only send your confidants there, so who do you want to go? Trial Zhengnan?"

What he said actually meant that he was completely convinced by Gongsun Xun's operation, and he wanted Xiahou Dun or simply himself to take advantage of this night attack.

Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly in front: "Since we are fighting a white horse, naturally we have to Guan Yunchang!"

When he finished speaking, the short Cao Cao finally followed him up the embankment of the Yellow River on the north bank. Suddenly, he saw seven or eight hundred cavalry on the embankment, including Gongsun Xun's white horse followers, lined up... Under the light, the two leaders

, a man with eagle eyes and a thin beard, is clearly the main rider of Gongsun Xun, his countryman's confidant Han Dang Han Yigong; the other man has a red face and a long beard, isn't he the nine-foot giant man from the east of the river, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang?

"It's a little cooler at night in spring." Guan Yu didn't squint or look at Cao Cao. He just saluted Gongsun Xun proudly. "Your Majesty, please go back to your tent and rest peacefully. We will directly lead the troops to Baima tomorrow!"

Gongsun Xun couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and showed the empty cup in his hand and said: "The wine has been offered to Wang Zhongtong, and I was thinking of lending some heroic spirit to Yun Chang, but I forgot that Yun Chang was not lacking in this kind of heroic spirit...

Go, go, see you and me in Baima City tomorrow!"

Guan Yu didn't answer, and he and Han Dang led the Youzhou elite cavalry and three hundred white horse followers who had been selected into the side camp near the embankment early, and went down the embankment to the pontoon... The night wind was rustling, and Guan Yunchang was very powerful.

Youzhou's elite troops looked majestic, and Cao Mengde, who looked directly at him, was so spirited that he was so excited that he actually stood on the embankment for half a day and refused to move!

"When the Yellow Turbans arose, Xun worshiped the general with five senses and made Cao the captain of the cavalry. He went out of Hanoi and conquered Dongjun. When he arrived at Weijun, the army wanted to cross the Yellow River to attack Baima. At night, the pontoon bridge was just completed. Suddenly, the wind and waves suddenly rose, causing the pontoon bridge to collapse.

While marching, some people in the army were saying that they were performing demonic magic with their horns stretched out, and they were frightened for a moment. Cao then dressed up his clothes and armor, and prepared three animals to sacrifice to He Bo. The three animals entered the water, but the wind still didn't stop.

In the middle of the river, the wind and waves stopped. Everyone was overjoyed, and the army was at peace. So Guan Yu and Han Dang led eight hundred cavalry, crossed the pontoon bridge at night, approached the white horses, and rode down with a drum." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang
