Facing the gentle breeze of May, Cao Cao, surrounded by Xun You, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and other generals, rode his horse to a hillside south of Yanjin. The banks of the Yellow River, which should be in the busy farming season, are now desolate and barren as far as the eye can see, and there is a breath of slaughter. It turned out that just a month earlier, Yuan Shao, who had won the great victory in Liyang, sent the general Yan Liang as a pioneer to cross the Yellow River and enter Baima Port. In response, Cao Cao migrated the people of the nearby counties south along the Yellow River, thus clearing a large area between Baima and Guandu as the site of his decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

No, Cao Cao confronted Yuan Shao with the heart of a decisive battle this time. The lessons of the two cities of Yijing and Liyang made Cao Cao and even the people of the world realize that the tall and thick city walls could no longer stop Yuan Benchu's attack. If Cao Cao wanted to defeat Yuan Shao, he had to achieve results in the field. However, Yuan Shao's troops in the south this time were more than three times that of Cao's army, which meant that Cao's army had to concentrate its forces to compete with Yuan Shao. The price of concentrating troops is naturally to give up some cities, even if this city is the place where Cao Cao once started - Juancheng.

Yuan Shao had 100,000 troops, thinking that he was invincible, and seeing that Juancheng's troops were weak, he would definitely look down on Juancheng and take a detour. But if the lord gives Juancheng more troops, he will definitely lead Yuan Shao to lead the troops to attack. And with the garrison of Juancheng, it was impossible to resist Yuan Shao's army. Once Juancheng falls, won't it be a waste of troops in both the lord and Juancheng? This is the speech of Cheng Yu, the guard general of Juancheng, before Cao Cao set out on the expedition. According to Cao Cao's original arrangement, he originally planned to transfer 2,000 soldiers to assist Cheng Yu in holding Juancheng. But Cheng Yu stubbornly insisted on guarding Juancheng with only 700 men, and explained the above to Cao Cao. Cao Cao listened to it and praised "Cheng Yu's courage is too good and educated", and at the same time, he also followed Cheng Yu's words and no longer increased troops to Juancheng.

Now it seems that Cheng Yu's analysis can be described as hitting the nail on the head, after Yuan Shao led the main force to cross the Yellow River, he really did not send troops to attack Juancheng, but directly detoured to Yanjin. Seeing this situation, Cao Cao secretly sighed "original arrogance", but also completely settled down and began to concentrate on dispatching troops to deal with Yuan Shao.

"Qi Qi Sikong, about five or six hundred cavalry Yuan troops have entered Yanjin."

The scout's report interrupted Cao Cao and the others' mood of enjoying the scenery. But seeing the subordinate general Shi Jian standing beside Cao Cao, he immediately turned to Cao Cao and said, "The air plane must not be lost, and the last general will lead the troops to block it."

In fact, it is no wonder that Shi Jian is so anxious to send troops, it turns out that Cao Cao brought only 600 soldiers and horses this time, which is comparable to the vanguard of Yuan's army who was scouting at this moment. If he didn't send troops to stop the attack at this time, wouldn't there be even less chance of victory after Yuan Shao's army arrived?

However, in the face of Shi Lian's eagerly admonition, the other Cao Ying generals present did not mean to agree. As for Cao Cao, he ordered even more quietly and in a deep voice, "Explore again." ”

After receiving the order, the scout quickly disappeared in front of everyone. Except for Shi Lian, who expressed surprise at Cao Cao's decision, the rest of the generals were quite indifferent. Xu Huang even simply turned over and dismounted, found a raised mound to sit on, and began to wipe his love axe.

However, after only a cup of tea, the scouts who had been ordered to go before brought back a new battle report, "The cavalry of Yuan Shao's army is gradually increasing, and the infantry is innumerable"

As soon as the scout's words came out, Shi Jian subconsciously gasped and set his eyes on Cao Cao again. But at this time, Cao Cao's face was still as usual. But seeing that he first looked at Xu Huang, who was determined, and then glanced at the curved part that was preparing to go in the shade of the hillside, and then opened his mouth and ordered, "Explore again." ”

Cao Cao didn't care about Shi Jian and the scouts who looked surprised, but turned around and ordered to Xiahou Yuan, "Miaocai, send orders to all departments, unsaddle the horse, and let the horse rest." ”

"Order." Xiahou Yuan grinned and rode down the mountain to convey Cao Cao's order.

At the same time, Cao Cao and Xun You turned over and dismounted on their own, and found a clean place to sit and rest like Xu Huang. Seeing this, Shi Jian and the others on the side wondered in their hearts, but they had to do what Cao Cao said. One by one, they dismounted and unsaddled and sat beside Cao Cao. However, Shi Jian still reminded Cao Cao uneasily, "Sikong, wait any longer, the baggage led by General Yuan Rang will have to go through Yanjinye." Why don't you immediately send someone to inform Yuan Rang and let the general lead his troops back to the camp? ”

Hearing Shi Lian mention the baggage led by Xiahou Dan, Xun Youxin, as a military advisor, said meaningfully, "Now is the best time to lure the enemy into the bait, can General Yuan let him leave?" ”

As soon as Xun You's words came out, Rao is Shi Jian was no longer wooden, and he finally heard some doorways. And Cao Cao, who was the initiator, looked at Xun You, smiled slightly, and took out his long sword to wipe it like Xu Huang. As a prince who had fought on the battlefield for many years, Cao Cao knew very well that the only way to defeat Yuan Shao was to win by surprise. Winning with odds may not kill or injure much of Yuan Shao's troops, but it can boost your own morale and hit the enemy's morale. Especially when Yuan Shao's technique of "the sky collapsed and the earth cracked" swept across both sides of the Yellow River, the word morale was particularly important.

However, the key to winning with odds is not how subtle its tactics are, but how tenacious the psychology of the implementers is. Historically, those who have been able to win with surprise are often those who are bold and careful, and good at patience. Just like jackals, tigers and leopards hunt their prey, often after a long wait. Hunters often have to wait until the most opportune time to catch their prey, otherwise they will let the prey go; Heavier, it is eaten by prey.

However, some truths are easy to say, but not easy to do. Under the assignment of Cao Cao, the scouts kept coming from the front of Yuan Shaojun, "three thousand enemy cavalry", "five thousand enemy cavalry", and "enemy general Wen Chou"...... The reports again and again stimulated the nerves of everyone present. Rao is Shi Jian knew that Cao Cao was planning to use the burden of Yuan Shaojun this time, but he still couldn't help but persuade Cao Cao, "Sikong, can you get on the horse?" ”

But Cao Cao still stubbornly shook his head and vetoed, "The time has not come."

Cao Cao was able to stop his generals from attacking with the sentence "The time has not come", but it could not offset the anxiety that gradually swelled in the hearts of the generals. Xu Huang, who was not calm and idle before, got up happily and hung the battle axe on the saddle after hearing Wen Chou's appearance. And Xiahou Yuan, who had always looked at Cao Cao's horse, also stood up and looked in the direction of Yanjin from time to time. However, even so, Cao Cao still sat there and polished his sword by himself.

After a while, I don't know if it was the fourth or fifth time to climb the hillside, and reported to Cao Cao Yu with a pant, "Qi Yu Sikong, the enemy general Wen Chou is leading his troops to besiege our army."

This time, a bloodthirsty light finally flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, but he saw him Huo Ran get up and raise his sword and order, "Get on the horse and attack"

When Cao Cao arrived at the battlefield with 600 cavalry, the heavy men and horses led by Xiahoudun had already collapsed under the siege of Yuan Shao's troops. Only a handful of soldiers and horses were still resisting stubbornly under the command of Xiahoudun. However, the victorious Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were clearly not interested in destroying the remnants of Cao's army. Most of them were like a pack of undisciplined wild dogs, frantically grabbing the baggage left behind by Cao Jun, completely oblivious to Cao Cao's approaching song. And this is precisely the opportunity that Cao Cao has been waiting for.

"General Qiyu, there is a group of cavalry from the southwest corner, approaching the rear of our army"

Wen Chou'er, who was riding his horse and standing under the umbrella of the banner, heard that Cao Jun was coming to help, and did not show a panicked look, but opened his mouth quite firmly and asked, "How many soldiers and horses?" ”

"Five or six hundred riders." The scout replied truthfully.

When Wen Chou heard that there were only hundreds of people, he couldn't help but exchange glances with the generals around him, and said with a dumb smile, "Even five or six hundred horsemen dare to come here and hit stones with eggs?" It seems that Cao Mengde really has no one under his account. ”

Wen Chou's ridicule immediately attracted the unanimous laughter of the surrounding generals. And he himself was even more dumbfounded, and proudly ordered, "You don't have to pay attention to these ants. Let's take off Xiahoudun's head first."

However, Wen Chou and his subordinates' self-confidence did not last long. Not only was the resistance of Xiahoudun's remnants more tenacious than they imagined, but even the commotion in the rear became more and more intense, even affecting the vicinity of Wen Chou and others. Wen Chou, who felt that the situation was different, couldn't help but turn around angrily and scolded, "Bastard, what is this going on?"

Who would have thought that as soon as Wen Chou's words fell, an arrow burst out of the air and rushed straight towards his forehead. Thanks to Wen Chou's quick reaction, he lowered his head slightly, and dodged the fierce fatal arrow. But the next scene made him stunned. I saw a group of cavalry with the banner of Cao Zi, like a black torrent, breaking through the layers of Yuan Shaojun's blockades, and rushing towards Wen Chou's main formation. No, to be more precise, Yuan Shaojun at this moment did not have the so-called "blocking" at all, they just relied on instinct to throw away their armor and avoid the arrival of this team of killing gods.

If someone could look down from the air at this moment, they would definitely be amazed by Cao Cao's artistic command. In his hands, the six hundred cavalry pierced into the soft underbelly of the Wen Chou tribe like a schanted blade, and attached a venom called "Chaos" to the wound. So much so that tens of thousands of Yuan's soldiers and horses, when they couldn't figure out what was going on, spontaneously collapsed because of the rush of so many hundreds of people. In contrast, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw and others were in the battle of the original battle, but it was a little trivial.

"Bastards are not allowed to retreat, and those who retreat are killed", Wen Chou, who finally came back to his senses, shot a pawn who tried to escape to death. However, more Yuan Jun simply ignored Yu Wenchou's orders and still fled with the flow. In fact, even if Wen Chou could calm down and analyze the situation and command calmly at this moment, he could no longer prevent the collapse of his subordinates. Because his orders could not be conveyed to the soldiers below him. Under normal circumstances, Wen Chou should first take his subordinates out of the battlefield, and then gradually gather the scattered soldiers on the periphery, and then counterattack Cao Cao. However, Wen Chou is not a general who can adapt to changes at all. The war he knew was nothing more than how to tear the enemy to pieces with the wielding of weapons. What's more, there was a deafening tiger roar that interrupted Wen Chou's shouting.

"The traitor who plots to usurp the throne, Xu Huang of Hedong is here, and he is not about to die" I saw Xu Huang, who was holding a Minghuang battle axe and straddled a jujube red war horse, and he didn't know when he had jumped in front of Wen Chou.

"Hmph, no one dares to come here to die." Wen Chou sneered, and the spear stabbed straight at Xu Huang's face. Xu Huang on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and he slashed his axe to face the battle.

After a shrill metallic sound, the two of their horses passed by. Although neither of them hurt the other, both sides have realized that the other is not an ordinary person. However, he said that Wen Chou was the general of the three armies under Yuan Shao's account. Even when Yuan Shao was crusading against Dong Zhuo, he also asked for orders to fight with Lu Bu. Although Yuan Shao did not agree in the end, Wen Chou's martial arts were obvious to the entire Yuan Shao army. At this moment, facing the challenge of Xu Huang, who is less famous, Wen Chou is willing to give up. saw that he immediately stopped caring about the defeated soldiers around him, and instead fought with Xu Huang with a tiger roar.

Wen Chou's move can be said to be in the middle of Xu Huang's arms. Spears and tomahawks clashed back and forth across the wilderness of Yanjin. However, after the two fought fiercely on the horse for more than 20 rounds, Xu Huang suddenly shook a shot, and turned around to escape. Wen Chou, who had already killed the red-eyed man, how could he fire his prey so lightly. But when he saw him shouting, "The thief is leaving", he grabbed the horse's belly and rode the horse to chase after him. Just as Wen Chou was about to approach Xu Huang, an unexpected arrow shot through Wen Chou's left eye like lightning. Under the pain, Wen Chou couldn't help but sway back slightly. It was at this moment that Xu Huang turned around sharply and slashed Wen Chou under the horse with an axe.

As Wen Chou's head flew away from his torso with a long trail of blood, Xiahou Yuan, who was not far away, held a longbow and smiled proudly, "Hebei's number one brave general is nothing more than that." This time, you can substitute for the main bus. ”

In the fourth year of Jian'an, in the summer and May, Cao Cao broke the Yuan army in Yanjin with 600 horses, and beheaded the general Wen Chou. When the news reached Baima Port, Yuan Shaojun was suddenly shocked. It should be known that Wen Chou and Yan Liang, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Ran are also known as the four court pillars of Hebei. Previously, Zhang Jaw publicly drove Yuan Shao's envoys away and returned the seal and holy decree of the "General Zhengdong", which had caused rumors within Yuan Shaojun. Now Cao Cao killed Wen Chou in Yanjin, and the Hebei Fourth Court removed two at once, and its blow to Yuan Shaojun's morale can be imagined.

However, Yuan Shao himself did not stop at Wen Chou's death. On the contrary, three days after mourning for Wen Chou, Yuan Shao personally led his troops all the way west to Yanjin. Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was powerful, and knew that he had little chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation with him, so he took the initiative to abandon Yanjin and retreat to Guandu, which had a geographical advantage. At the end of May, Yuan Shao set off from Yanjin, conquered the two cities of Yuanwu and Wuchao all the way, and finally arrived north of Guandu, camped according to the sand dunes, reaching dozens of miles. Correspondingly, Cao Cao also concentrated his troops and horses on the Guandu line and stationed them separately, thus opposing Yuan Shao's camp. The legendary Battle of Guandu seems to have begun.

CC said angrily: Alone with 600 battles and 10,000, such a great achievement, it is just a few words

Liu Ding said: As a posterior element who often exchanges crowd tactics for victory more than a thousand years later, it is difficult to experience the feeling of exploding the crowd with elite. Please also forgive me. However, Sikong does not have a second master and can still punish the ugly, very V5~~~

CC disdain: Cutting and curbing the ugly is originally a lonely achievement, and it is a matter of two~~~
