Chapter 202: The Battle of Mount Tai I

If you think about it in this way, it is even more necessary for Yuan Tan to help Liu Bei attack the Taishan army at any cost. The best result was that Liu Yuan's coalition army defeated Zang Ba's Cao army, and took the empty Yanzhou Zhucheng along the south bank of the Yellow River, and finally appeared on the right flank of the Guandu battlefield, helping the main force of the 700,000 Yuan army, which was already overwhelming!

In this way, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xiansi are destined to become famous all over the world. Although Yuan Jun now has a great advantage over Cao Jun, this may be the biggest obstacle to the Yuan Group's domination of the world. Such a splashing credit, if you don't actively strive for it, there really won't be such a chance in the future.

If he can make a reputation for being able to fight well in the battle to destroy Cao, Yuan Tan will naturally be further reused by Yuan Shao, and he will also gain the support of a considerable amount of civil and military support from the Yuan group. After all, one is charging in front and the other is raising food and grass in the rear, and the merit of fighting in the front is highlighted by the comparison between the two, which is of great benefit to oneself in the future.

So no matter from that point of view, whether it is public or private, it is the best decision for Yuan Tan to help Liu Bei attack Taishan County at the moment.

Liu Bei didn't expect that he was just an appearance, and Yuan Tan would show so much kindness to himself, not only sending reinforcements to help the war, but also sending a large number of grain, grass and military supplies, which immediately relieved the combat pressure of the Xuzhou army, and further boosted the morale of the Xuzhou army!

But after thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei was relieved, Yuan Tan not only helped Xuzhou Jun, but also himself. However, this help was too timely and the right way, and Liu Bei even sent an envoy to Beihai to express his gratitude to Yuan Tan.

With the grain and grass transferred from Qingzhou nearby, Liu Beijun did not have to wait for the grain to be transported from Xuzhou all the way. Uncle Liu Huang waved his sword, and the 60,000 Xuzhou army was divided into two roads. Guan Yu led one part as the left road to take Fei County, Nanwuyang and Liangfu and other places, and Liu Bei led one part to take Pingyang through Mengyin on the right road.

Liu Bei revealed that the number of soldiers and horses was actually a helpless move, if he fought against Zang Bajun in a relatively flat place like Langya Kingdom, Liu Beijun's hidden strength could indeed achieve miraculous results. However, now that the Zang Ba army has retreated into Taishan County, where they started, and the Taishan army in this hilly and mountainous area, it must have been detected by its scout elite soldiers who are good at mountain warfare.

And the Taishan army had nowhere to retreat at this time. Taishan County is already the last barrier for Yanzhou to resist the Yuan army and the Xuzhou army at the moment, if Mount Tai is lost, it is equivalent to opening the entire east of Yanzhou to Liu Beijun and Yuan Tan's army to attack the city.

In fact, Zang Ba didn't think about retreating. The reason why the Taishan Army was able to stand tall in the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty was that it relied on the steep and rugged terrain of Mount Tai and the mountain combat experience of the Taishan Army. If Taishan is abandoned and retreats to the plains, even if it is to hold on to a strong city, the combat effectiveness and tactical flexibility of the Taishan army will be greatly weakened, and the Taishan army is the disadvantaged side in this battle, so it will not be Liu Beijun's opponent.

However, fortunately, before the battle began, Zang Ba was helped by two "nobles", although one of the "nobles" beat himself to the point that he vomited several mouthfuls of blood and couldn't get off the stage in front of thousands of people as soon as he met, but after Zang Ba learned from another gentle and elegant young "nobleman" that the confidential military information related to the survival or defeat of his army, he immediately didn't care about this.

learned that the Xuzhou army led by Guan Yu was a plan to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but in fact, the real leader behind it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and the scale of his soldiers and horses was more than double the number of scouts from the army, but Zang Ba was covered in a cold sweat.

If this is a fight with the Xuzhou army in such a situation where the situation is not understood, the ambush soldiers on both sides of the fight will suddenly be killed in the middle of the fight, and Liu Xuande's Liu Zi Daxu on the opposite side will suddenly stand up, and the army that is already a bandit army will definitely panic and collapse every minute!

You must know that Guan Yu's deputy general is Chang Xuan, who is the same as himself, and half of Liu Bei's 60,000 or 70,000 Xuzhou troops are Chang Xuan's subordinates, that is, the former allies of Zang Ba's army. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and being familiar with the details of the combat habits of the Taishan Army, Chang Feng would never let Zang Ba smoothly gather scattered troops after the defeat in World War I, and have the possibility of fighting again. So the most likely result is that the Taishan army was greatly damaged by the Xuzhou army in the first battle, and it no longer has the strength to stop Liu Beijun and Yuan Tanjun.

Thinking about it so carefully, Liu Beijun's suspicious tactics seem to be ordinary and often extremely simple, but because of the fierce generals like Guan Yu as a weapon to attack the fortifications, as well as the existence of Chang Xuan, who is familiar with the Taishan Army, it is a clever plan, a clever plan that can easily solve the Zang Bajun! The one who could come up with such a simple but extremely effective plan was Chen Yuanlong, who was devoted to Liu Bei's subordinate Chen Deng.

Zang Ba, who was extremely frightened, no longer hesitated, and immediately dispelled the idea of dealing with Liu Beijun in Langya, took the soft and all the grain and grass that had been packed up and moved out of the warehouses in various counties and counties, and returned to his hometown Taishan County overnight.

Zang Ba's retreat was to give Liu Bei a large piece of territory. However, Zang Ba himself does not have such great decision-making power. The reason why Zang Ba walked cleanly without dragging the mud and water at all and hesitated was actually authorized by Cao Cao earlier.

Majestic and strategic like Cao Mengde, resourceful and fickle like Guo Fengxiao, and insight into the overall situation such as Xun Wenruo, it is natural to expect that when Cao Jun fought a decisive battle with Yuan Jun in Guandu, Liu Bei of Xuzhou and Zhang Xiu of Huainan will naturally not be in peace and tranquility to watch the incident and wait for raw rice to mature. Large tracts of land in Yuzhou and Yanzhou are almost stripped in front of them, how can Liu Bei Group and Zhang Xiu Group turn a blind eye?

It was Cao Cao who had already set a plan with his staff group to protect the rear. Like Langya, Dongguan and Chengyang, which have not had much time to get their hands on the territory, they can't keep it, so there is really no way to discard it. But this Taishan County must be saved.
