Chapter 472: Thousands of Miles into the Yuan Highway
"Yuan Shao was actually defeated? 100,000 soldiers and horses, how did he lose? β
Cao Cao's eyes were incredible, he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou were so strong, 100,000 people against 50,000 or 60,000 people, the difference in strength was too great.
The comparison of the combat power of the army can be simplified to the square of the number of people, that is to say, 100,000 against 50,000, and the comparison of combat power is not two to one, but four to one.
What's more, the Qingzhou Army is still attacking.
"The Qingzhou army didn't know how to invite the heavenly thunder to blow up the mountain, and then blew up the city wall, and our army's morale plummeted and collapsed on its own." The Yuan family general who was sent to Yanzhou said.
Knowing that the Qingzhou Army was not a real sword and a real gun to overthrow Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's heart calmed down a little.
Otherwise, he will really lose the courage to fight against Ma Qiang in the future.
"Heavenly Thunder" Cao Cao frowned and thought about it, and secretly said in his heart, "In the early years in Qingzhou, I once heard rumors that Ma Qiang used the usual method to open mines in Youzhou, so the iron price is low, is it this heavenly thunder?" β
"General Yuan's injury is critical, I will send someone to look for Hua Tuo with you, wait for me to write a letter, and you can help me bring General Yuan to say hello."
When the man retreated, Cao Cao said to the left and right, "I really didn't expect that Ma Qiang's movements would be so fast, and he wouldn't wait for me!" β
Xun Yu said on the side, "Whether it is this method or not, the war between Yuan and Ma may end faster than we imagined, but fortunately, there are still Zhang Yan, Xiongnu, Liu Yu and others, Ma Qiang's eyes will not reach Henan so soon, Ming Gong, we will immediately send troops to attack Yuan Shu!" β
Cao Cao nodded and said, "If Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, immediately let Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan prepare their troops and horses, and we will send troops in three days, no, in two days!" β
"Report!" At this time, a sergeant came in and said, "Tell the Father!" Outside the city, there were envoys from the imperial court. β
"An envoy of the court?" Cao Cao Qi said: "What is Dong Thief going to do?" Let him in! β
After a while, a messenger came in, holding an edict and saying, "The Son of Heaven has an edict!" Bow! β
Cao Cao didn't move at all, and asked rhetorically, "Is it the edict of the Son of Heaven, or the edict of Dong Zhuo?" β
The envoy couldn't help but ask embarrassedly, "It's all imperial edicts, what's the difference?" β
Xun Yu and the others on the side couldn't help laughing, Cao Hong stepped forward and snatched the edict away, opened it to take a look, and then said to Cao Cao, "Meng De, Dong Zhuo Feng Jin Shang is the assassin of Yanzhou, let us welcome him into Yanzhou!" β
"Jin Shang? What qualifications does he have to do Yanzhou Assassination? Cao Cao snorted and waved his hand, "Sure enough, it was Dong Thief's trick to knock this person out of the city!" β
Xun Yu looked at the big angel who was beaten by the stick, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I hope that I can borrow Cao Cao's hand to rebuild the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
Two days later, Cao Cao raised 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, falsely claimed 100,000, and officially killed Yuzhou in the name of Yuan Shu's good job of carving official seals and killing ministers.
Yuan Shu was also very unhappy during this time, Liu Biao's left hand Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Wen Ping, right hand Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, both soft and hard, Yuan Shu has become more and more unable to live in Nanyang.
He and Cao Cao glanced at him, and he also looked at Yanzhou in bulk.
At this time, Jin Shang, who could not enter Yanzhou because of Cao Cao, was exiled to Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu crusaded against Cao Cao in the name of supporting Jin Shang into Yanzhou.
If Yuan Shu had also opened a hanging, and could see the combat power rankings of the princes, he would definitely not have made such a brainless decision.
Even Liu Biao can't handle it, do you still want to fight Cao Cao, who is already holding back his eyes red?
Yuan Shu came directly to Chenliu County with soldiers and horses, and sent Liu Shen, a partial army, to cut off Cao Cao's back road.
Yuan Shu learned Liu Biao, Liu Biao did this in Nanyang, tried and tested, Yuan Shu was beaten alive.
There is nothing wrong with Yuan Shu's tactics, his biggest problem is that he feels that Cao Cao's brain is on the same level as himself.
It turns out that the gap between people and people is bigger than that between people and dogs.
Xi Zhong directly offered a plan, let Cao Cao surround the point to help, and first sent Cao Ren to beat Liu Shen violently, but he did not die, and let Liu Shen go to Yuan Shu for help.
Yuan Shu really hit the plan, and hurriedly led the troops to rescue, but the left Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Bao Xin in the front, and Yu Ban in the back, this is called a sour.
Where can Yuan Shu eat such a formation, after a battle, tens of thousands of people were lost, and people didn't dare to save it anymore, so he ran to Xiangyi in the east with the remnants of the defeated army, wanting to slow down and fight again.
Cheng Yu knew the geography of Yanzhou well, and offered a plan to break the canal to irrigate the city, Cao Cao followed the plan, Yuan Shu tasted the taste of his future in-laws in history in advance, thanks to Ji Ling's bravery, he fought a bloody way and retreated to Yuzhou with Yuan Shu.
Cao Cao's ruthlessness with soldiers was shown for the first time in front of the world, he traveled day and night, chasing and killing non-stop, starting from Chen Liu, he chased Yuan Shu for six or seven hundred miles, and drove the crying Yuan Shu to Jiujiang before withdrawing back to Yuzhou to digest the results of the battle.
At the same time, Cao Cao did not forget to exclude other forces in Yanzhou, he expressed Shanyang Yuan as the assassin of Yangzhou, and asked him to go to Yangzhou to fight with Yuan Shu, and by the way, Shanyang County was vacated to install his cronies.
Yuan Yi has always supported Yuan Shao, so he has no psychological burden on the matter of fighting Yuan Shu, and he rolled up his sleeves and took the soldiers and horses to find Yuan Shu, but he was surrounded by Sun Ben and Ji Ling, who had been prepared, and was beaten violently and died in the chaos.
Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and turned around and began to sort out his soldiers and horses.
The Yuan brothers, a pair of good half-brothers, are indeed difficult brothers, compared to Yuan Shu, it is a little more miserable, Nanyang was taken back by Liu Biao, and the territory of Yuzhou was almost lost, and Chen Yu in Runan also rebelled at a critical moment.
Thanks to Sun Ben's strength, he took Sun Jiajun to attack, and led dozens of people to flee to Xuzhou with Chen Yu, and Yuan Shu also extended his hand to Yuzhou again, and took back the southern half of the county, plus Jiujiang and other places, which was temporarily relieved.
But Yuan Shu never thought about it carefully, along the way, there were fewer and fewer descendants, but the strength of the Sun family's army did not decrease, but increased, Sun Jian was not dead, and the tiger on the hospital bed would also hurt people.
This big melee between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu did not last long, only a month, but the impact was very great, Liu Biao completely grasped the ruling power of northern Jingzhou, and began to swing his sword to the south, and the unification of Jingzhou was already a matter of time.
Because of Chen Wen's death, Yangzhou became a borderless land, and the counties did not give in to each other, making it a place for another giant to prosper.
Cao Cao, who defeated Yuan Shu, proved his strength, and obtained a large number of soldiers and horses left over from Yuan Shu, and began to digest and absorb them, and when he finished digesting them, he would continue his unification of Henan.
Tao Qian of Xuzhou, looking at the drastic changes of the times, was a little uncomfortable, and the idea of wanting to restore the old man he was familiar with became stronger and stronger.
