Chapter 332 Wen Chou Breaks Through the Shackles! The outcome is still uncertain.
The destruction of the small kingdom in the Western Regions and the subsequent exile of the queen and princess were at most a minor incident.
On the morning of the third day, Cao Cao's camp received news that Yuan Shao had sent Wen Chou to attack Yan Jin.
"What!?"
"Ju Shou is actually Wen Chou's advisor?"
A smile appeared on Xun You's lips.
Alright! It's finally his time to demonstrate his tactics.
Su Yu, standing to the side, felt embarrassed to undermine Xun You's confidence.
In the original Battle of Yanjin, Ju Shou was also Wen Chou's advisor.
In the end, Wen Chou died, and Ju Shou had some of his military power taken away by Yuan Shao.
Although Yuan Shao appeared to have won, the portion of military power he had seized still only obeyed Ju Shou, not Yuan Shao.
Ju Shou's entire scheme was successful; he even personally entered the game, eager to get Yuan Shao to take action against him.
But the problem is...
Ju Shou is far too arrogant!
He forgot that this wasn't in Jizhou, but on the battlefield!
As the opposing camp, Cao Cao's camp would naturally not remain indifferent to the changes in Yuan Shao's camp.
Now, history repeats itself.
Wen Chou's death was a foregone conclusion, and no one could stop it.
Soon, a temporary meeting was held in Cao Cao's camp.
Xun You, who was standing nearby, enthusiastically explained to Cao Cao the tactic of "luring the enemy deep into our territory and then beheading them from the center."
The specific implementation method of this tactic is as follows:
Use the grain transport wagons to lure Wen Chou into pursuit. When Wen Chou gets close to the grain transport wagons, send out Cao Cao's elite troops to carry out a decapitation strike against him!
It is highly feasible.
Although the Jizhou army was very wealthy.
However, in any ancient feudal dynasty, grain was a hard currency, even more so than money.
Faced with grain carts loaded with provisions, it was hard for Wen Chou not to fall for the trap.
unexpectedly.
Xun You had just finished explaining his plan with great enthusiasm.
Another letter arrived from Yuan Ying's camp.
This time, it wasn't written by the "mysterious man" from the Battle of White Horse last time, but by Guo Jia himself.
When Xun You saw Guo Jia's letter saying that Ju Shou had apparently prepared hundreds of horse-drawn carts for transporting grain, he threw down the map in his hand with a "cough" and squatted down to draw a circle on the ground to curse Ju Shou.
Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle, but still offered words of comfort:
"Gongda, look, this is all Ju Shou's fault, it's all that damned rich dog's fault!"
"Dog big spender" means someone who is foolish and has too much money.
"Don't compare yourself to Ju Shou; the more you compare, the more heartbroken you'll become."
(Not a rickshaw, but a flatbed cart used for pushing goods, mostly three-wheeled carts, which you can occasionally see when going to the market in the countryside. It was invented in the Shang Dynasty, and later Zhuge Liang improved the Kongming cart.)
It would have been better if Su Yu hadn't offered any comfort.
The words of comfort only made Xun You more emotional.
That damned Ju Shou!
How can they be so rich?
Hundreds or even thousands of horse-drawn carts were transporting grain. Ju Shou was probably afraid that Cao Cao's camp wasn't smart enough to kill Wen Chou!
If there were a system, Xun You would have heard a notification sound like this at this moment:
Ding! Your opponent, the Celestial Dragon Ju Shou, has resorted to the "pay-to-win" strategy. Please give up the struggle immediately!
Okay, Xun You chose to completely give up.
Perhaps Ju Shou was even more eager for the Battle of Yanjin to end as soon as possible than Cao Cao's camp.
Xun You didn't have to do anything; he could just lie there.
……
The ferry crossing 40 miles outside Yanjin
Wen Chou, carrying his signature weapon, the Rain of Pear Blossoms Spear, rode a large black horse at the very front of the procession.
Although the name "Rain of Pear Blossoms Spear" sounds a bit childish, it was actually given to Wen Chou by Yan Liang back then.
At this moment, Wen Chou had both the belief to avenge Yan Liang and the desire to kill Ju Shou!
suddenly.
Ju Shou sent his personal guards to Wen Chou's side and ordered him to halt the march.
Wen Chou, looking impatient, roared:
"We've only just crossed the river, why are we stopping now?"
"Besides, I have already sent scouts to search the area within a radius of twenty miles, and there are no Cao soldiers in sight."
The guard sent by Ju Shou said with a forced smile:
"General Wen, don't we need to eat while fighting?"
"You are having a good time walking ahead, but our army's grain transport team is lagging behind."
"How can our soldiers fight Cao Cao's army when they are hungry?"
Wen Chou was speechless.
He was already bad with words, and this guard of Ju Shou had obviously been instructed by Ju Shou and was on a moral high ground, so Wen Chou had no way to refute him.
Helpless, Wen Chou could only wait for the grain transport team to slowly arrive.
What he didn't know was.
Ju Shou's plan has also been put on the agenda.
This meal was Wen Chou's last meal before his execution!
It took a while longer.
It wasn't until nearly three hours later that Wen Chou continued his march.
When they were about twenty miles away from Yanjin City, Wen Chou suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
Not far away, hundreds of horse-drawn carriages carrying provisions swaggered up in front of him.
"This is... Cao Cao's supply convoy?"
Upon seeing Cao Cao's army flag appear in the grain transport convoy, Wen Chou immediately sounded the alarm.
And those grain transport trucks also put on quite a show.
They sped off towards Yanjin.
A hint of hesitation appeared in Wen Chou's eyes.
But the thought that these are all valuable supplies, and if I miss them, I don't know when I'll get another chance.
He gritted his teeth and led his five thousand cavalrymen in a surprise attack on the grain transport wagons!
The grain transport wagons were naturally slower than Wen Chou.
If the two sides hadn't created some distance beforehand, Wen Chou would probably have caught up with them in two or three minutes.
Even so, these grain transport wagons were captured by Wen Chou in less than a quarter of an hour.
Just as Wen Chou was about to take stock of the grain, some new grain carts appeared not far ahead!
"General, shall we continue the pursuit?"
The soldiers around Wen Chou were also excitedly scrambling for the prize.
They are cavalry, highly mobile, and even if the enemy has an ambush, they should be able to break through easily.
"Chase!"
Having tasted success, Wen Chou gradually became complacent and underestimated his opponent.
But this time, it's unclear whether it was because the grain and fodder were insufficient or because Wen Chou was too slow.
It took nearly half an hour for Wen Chou to gradually approach these grain transport wagons that seemed so close at hand.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a cavalryman next to Wen Chou fell into a pit.
Wen Chou immediately ordered a halt to the pursuit.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Moreover, if he continues the pursuit, only a portion of the soldiers might fall into the pit.
But if it stops directly in place, the weight of the warhorse will make intimate contact with the ground.
The ground, which already contained traps, began to reveal itself one after another, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
For a while.
Countless cries of agony rang out.
Wen Chou and the cavalrymen beside him were now trapped like turtles in a jar!
"Get out!"
Wen Chou roared.
But only about a quarter of the cavalry followed him out of the pit.
Just when Wen Chou thought he was about to escape to heaven.
A succession of generals, including Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Yue Jin, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun, appeared!
"Death!"
Xu Huang launched the first attack, his stone axe flashing in the wind as he wielded it.
Wen Chou roared.
At that moment, he was like a reincarnation of the mythical beast Xie Zhi, forcefully interrupting Xu Huang's attack. (Xie Zhi is one of the many mythical beasts in ancient Chinese mythology, symbolizing immense power.)
The immense pressure initially put Xu Huang at a disadvantage.
"Gongming, step aside, let me handle this!"
Zhang Liao attacked from the side and rear, slashing at Wen Chou with his Ao Long Blade.
Wen Chou immediately abandoned Xu Huang and focused his defense on Zhang Liao.
The two fought for about twenty rounds, and Zhang Liao was clearly in worse shape than Wen Chou.
It's not Zhang Liao or Xu Huang's style.
At this moment, Wen Chou was eager to avenge Yan Liang.
Driven by extreme rage, he seemed to break free from his previous constraints, his martial prowess rivaling that of a top-tier warrior of his time.
but……
Just as Wen Chou was about to break through the obstruction of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao.
Suddenly, a cavalryman beside him drew a short sword and plunged it into his neck!
"I'm sorry, General, I have to think about my family."
Before Wen Chou could even react with disbelief, the soldier took his own life before Wen Chou could.
"Ha... Ju Shou... you despicable scoundrel!"
Feeling the excruciating pain in his neck, Wen Chou fell from his horse to the ground, cursing Ju Shou for his shamelessness.
