Then, Cao Hong learned about the situation of Baima from Cai Yang, thinking that it was Liu Yan's so-called backhand, and collected his troops back to Puyang.

It's not that Cao Hong is cold-blooded and doesn't avenge Liu Yan, to be honest, just his battle bear army against the ugly 50,000 army above is at most five or five.

Why?

It's all about Wen Chou!

This era is still an era when military generals can decide the battle situation with their own strength. Sun Ce became an independent battalion after the First World War in Xuzhou and left the establishment of the War Bear Army. The only martial arts in the War Bear Army that can be seen are Cao Hong himself. In this battle, Cao Hong's main goal was to hold Dongjun, especially Puyang City, so Cao Cao did not arrange any more brave generals for him. After all, in the defense of the city, as long as you are well prepared and set up a bed crossbow, even a fierce general like Wen Chou will be deflated.

However, once Puyang City is breached, then the east and west parts of the front line of the Cao army will be divided by the Yuan army, and it will be impossible to help each other, and even the transportation of grain and grass will become extremely difficult. Therefore, Cao Hong must return to Puyang in time and be prepared.

"Liu Yan died in battle! White Horse Castle has been breached! ”

Cao Cao looked at the letter from Mingjingtang and Cao Hong's letter, and couldn't help but be a little angry.

Liu Yan has followed him for many years, and it is precisely because of Liu Yan's ability that he is more than enough to govern a county, and his command ability is also very good. In Cao Cao's opinion, it should be easy for Liu Yan to cooperate with Cao Hong to defend Dongjun. But who would have thought that Wen Chou would quickly break through White Horse City, and Liu Yan would die so easily. Although the death was vigorous, and it also caused more than 10,000 casualties and a great morale blow to the Yuan army, Cao Cao would rather the White Horse City be easily broken by Wen Chou than Liu Yan died in battle.

Can the value of a mere White Horse City be compared with Liu Yan?

However, this made Cao Cao a little more vigilant.

Although Cao Jun's eastern front garrison was sufficient, although Cao Hong and Li Dian had good command ability, but just like the ending of White Horse City, there was a lack of some skilled generals, which was a big flaw in the eastern front, and Cao Cao would never allow any small mistakes to cause problems on the eastern front.

"Meng De, leave the eastern front to me, I will take Jun Ming, Zidan, Wen Lie, and Boren to Puyang City, and transfer Bo Fu and Gong Jin to Taishan County to help Mancheng." Guo Jia also saw Cao Jun's problem and spoke.

"However, if Bonghyo doesn't give advice by my side, I'm always a little uneasy."

Cao Cao was a little hesitant, for so many years, as long as Guo Jia was by his side, he had never been defeated. With Guo Jia by his side, he doesn't have to worry about falling for the enemy's tricks, and he can also rest assured that he can command the army boldly. However, if Guo Jia is not there。。。。。。

"Hahaha!" Guo Jia opened his mouth and laughed, "Mengde, Mengde, your wisdom is not under Guo, why bother to be arrogant?" You underestimate yourself too much, or rather, you think too highly of me Guo Fengxiao. ”

Guo Jia suddenly realized this problem, and he was reborn as Guo Jia, which was better than Guo Jia's performance in the original history, which also caused Cao Cao's skills to have no opportunity to perform, and he did not accumulate enough self-confidence through his own big victories.

Emperor Wu of Wei in history was not what he is now. In the battles recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, and Emperor Wu", there were about 30 battles and combat operations personally commanded by Cao Cao in his lifetime, of which the winners accounted for the vast majority, and the losers were less than one or two out of ten, and most of their failures had certain objective reasons. For example, when Dong Zhuo was defeated by Xu Rong, first, the troops were too small, and second, the Cao Department was engaged in military command activities for the first time and lacked experience; Jian'an's defeat to Zhang Xiu in the second year was also due to paralysis, which had little to do with the level of command ability. On the contrary, those victories not only relied heavily on Cao Cao's command ability, but also won most of them beautifully. For example, Jian'an defeated Zhang Xiu's pursuers in three years, Jian'an lured and defeated Yuan Shaojun in five years, and Jian'an took the head of the Yuan brothers without a fight in eleven years, and so on.

Moreover, Cao Cao is good at scheming, especially Aisheng, showing softness and greeting with rigidity; Show it to be weak, and multiply it to be strong; For it, it should be done; Will want to the west and show it to the east.

It is strange and difficult to distinguish, this is Cao Cao's military command style.

Cao Cao's words made Guo Jia even more determined that he must temporarily leave Cao Cao's side and let him command independently.

"Gone! Remember to give the military order, I went first. "Guo Jia didn't give Cao Cao a chance to refute, Lao Tzu went directly, what else can you do? There's no way, the two brothers have a good relationship, and they are reluctant to cut us.

Oh, Cao Cao watched Guo Jia leave the big tent, and he also smiled. Yes, when did I become so unconfident? Before Guo Jialai took refuge in himself, didn't he have to fight in person every battle? In the first battle of Bian Shui, he dared to pursue Dong Zhuo's army, which had tens of thousands of people, with thousands of light horsemen.

Besides, it's really not good, isn't there still Xi Zhicai by his side to help him check and fill in the gaps?

"Zhicai, help me write two military orders according to Fengxiao's words, and then hand them over to Fengxiao and Bofu."

Xi Zhicai nodded, in fact, he also wanted to say that Cao Cao was too unconfident just now, and Guo Jia's ability also covered up Cao Cao's own light, but the relationship between him and Cao Cao was not as close as the relationship between Guo Jia and Xun Yu and Cao Cao, and it was inevitable that he would end up with a reputation of jealousy and jealousy if he said this.

Now, Guo Jia himself took the initiative to realize this, and admonished Cao Cao, and temporarily left Cao Cao's side to go to the Eastern Front, which not only helped the battle situation, but also helped Cao Cao regain his self-confidence.

And Yuan Shao's camp

Yuan Shao was still very happy when he learned the news that the White Horse City was broken and Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, was beheaded, but after seeing the battle loss ratio, Yuan Shao was also angry.

10,000 casualties!

The 50,000 people under Wen Chou's command are not ordinary Yuan troops, this is the elite of Yuan Jun's ordinary army, and this elite of Yuan Jun died 10,000 in this battle, or is it for the sake of White Horse City? The pioneer Ma Yan was also killed in battle, Lü Kuang was seriously wounded, and Lü Xiang suffered some internal injuries. This battle is really terrible!

Simply, Yuan Jun's strategic goal was achieved. Moreover, Yuan Shao also knew in his heart that he really couldn't blame Wen Chou.

Wen Chou personally led the iron guards to kill the city, who knew that Liu Yan, a madman, would dare to burn the city! What a ruthless man! Wen Chou's reaction was timely, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to leave.

Encountering this situation, Yuan Shao couldn't bear to blame his beloved general, after all, who would have thought of this madman's behavior? Moreover, Yuan Shao also wrote a letter to comfort Wen Chou, and at the same time asked him to attack Puyang according to the strategic deployment after the army was rested!
