Yuan Shao coerced 100,000 elites to the south, and the momentum was noisy.

People all over the world believed that Yuan Shao could destroy Cao Cao with the overwhelming power of Mount Tai.

The battle of Baima Ferry, which can be used as a sentinel battle, and the subsequent pursuit battle of Yanjin are shocking.

The world-famous Yuan family has two walls, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two famous generals in Hebei, fell together in these two battles.

Yuan Jun, who was in an absolute advantage in terms of strength, was played with by Cao Cao in applause. Under the various mobilizations, it is like a headless fly being defeated separately.

If these news shocked the world, then the news that Yan Liangwen was killed by Wang Xiao in the midst of the army made the world dumbfounded.

In the era of martial arts, people's yearning for and pursuit of force was difficult for people to understand in the era when men were more women than women.

Alone and riding, fearless in the face of thousands of troops and horses, Jiaolong rushed into the enemy formation like a sea, and then cut off the head of the enemy general with a knife in his hand, and returned with a horse.

This kind of story that pushes personal martial arts to the peak perfectly satisfies the ultimate fantasy of all martial artists.

Now that someone has finally done it, it has caused an unprecedented sensation.

What's even more exaggerated is that the hero who did this was actually Cao Sikong's son Cao Zhi. That used to be a genius who was famous all over the world for his articles and poems.

That is to say, in this era, those who can play with pens will basically play with swords, and there is no separation between civil and military.

If this kind of thing happened in an era when weak scholars couldn't lift their shoulders and couldn't resist, Wang Xiao would have to be dragged to do things, for fear that he would be possessed by some demons and monsters.

And Wang Xiao, who is in the midst of public opinion, calmly copes with everything.

"Former general, the last general is bothered."

"It's okay, if there's anything else you don't know, you can come to me at any time."

"Farewell, don't send it."

"Say goodbye and walk slowly."

Wang Xiao said that he would not consider the matter of rewarding Yuan Shao before defeating him, and Cao Cao also agreed to him. It is true that he was not knighted or rewarded, but his official position was promoted after returning to the Guandu camp.

From the previous rank of Captain Hu Ben, who was more than 2,000 stones, he was directly promoted to the position of the former general who was ranked in Jiuqing.

This is directly beyond the level of lieutenant general, just like skipping the lieutenant officer to becoming a major general directly.

Cao Cao said that he counted, and instead of giving him a reward, he was given a new job.

After that, the generals and scribes from all over the camp in Guandu will come to visit.

Not to mention what kind of friendship you can climb, but at least you have to get a familiar face.

Like this moment, Wang Xiao has been busy with this kind of thing almost in the past few days.

To say that the most angry person in the camp at this time must be the current Wuguan Zhonglang general Cao Pi.

He watched Wang Xiao become famous all over the world, watched Wang Xiao get more and more attention, and watched Wang Xiao easily establish prestige in the army. The face that is already black is even darker.

Cao Pi can't wait to return to Xudu now, and pull Sima Yi, the old yin X, to help deal with Wang Xiao.

When Wang Xiao was wearing armor and pressing the sword with one hand to think about his thoughts, Cao Cao walked over with his hands behind his back, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about Yuan Jun's next move."

"Oh, what's the idea?"

Wang Xiao bowed his hand and responded seriously, "Although the Yuan army lost the first battle, it still has an obvious advantage in troops, grain and grass, military goods, and financial resources. ”

"That's true." Cao Cao walked over, looked at Wang Xiao, who was taller than himself, and asked with a smile, "If you were Yuan Shao, what would you do at this time?" ”

Wang Xiao spread his long legs, making his height less conspicuous in front of Cao Cao.

"Although the Hebei soldiers are numerous, they are not as brave as the Henan soldiers. And Henan's grain, grass, military resources, and financial resources are not as good as Hebei's. Henan is conducive to quick battles, and Hebei is conducive to slow fighting. Therefore, for Hebei, it is the best choice to let the two armies hold each other slowly and drag out the war of attrition. ”

Cao Cao straightened his back: "Then do you think Yuan Shao will do this?" ”

"No, because he's very confident in himself. Even if you know these truths, you will think that you can also win by virtue of strength. ”

"Moreover, although the previous battle between Baima and Yanjin was not a big loss for Yuan Shao. But it made him lose face greatly. Yuan Shao attaches great importance to face and reputation, and will inevitably choose to take the initiative to attack. Then enter Xudu as the master. ”

Regarding Wang Xiao's performance, Cao Cao was full of gratification, "Yan Liangwen and Chou are all famous generals in Hebei, and if they are killed by you in a battle, Yuan Jun's spirit will inevitably be frustrated." Even if it was to restore morale, Yuan Benchu would have attacked. Well done you. ”

Cao Cao has few people and weak strength, so he can't afford it.

Once the war drags on, there will inevitably be violent turmoil under the instability of the rear.

At that time, he didn't need Yuan Shao to do anything, he himself would collapse directly.

Therefore, Cao Cao was even more anxious than Yuan Shao for a decisive battle.

The location of Guandu here is dangerous, and if you break here, you can directly reach Xudu by going south along the main road.

Although Cao Cao built a strong camp, when Yuan Shao's army came, he took the initiative to attack and fight.

And then, didn't fight.

There is no way to use strategy, only to fight for strength. Cao Cao really can't fight Yuan Shao, and the difference in strength between the two sides is very large.

If it weren't for the geographical advantage, Cao Cao would have been defeated.

Wang Xiao was not without fighting, he led a group of soldiers and horses assigned to him by Cao Cao to rush and kill, and successively broke several Yuan army soldiers and horses.

But no matter how strong his strength is, it is difficult to achieve decisive results in a melee at this level.

Even, Yuan Shao saw that he was brave and unparalleled, and mobilized the strong crossbow troops left by Liyi to try to ambush Wang Xiao.

That is, Wang Xiao was very experienced on the battlefield, and he sensed that Yuan Jun was luring him to go deeper, so he simply and neatly withdrew, which avoided the end of being besieged.

"Yuan Benchu actually got so many soldiers and horses." Cao Cao, who returned to the camp, yelled angrily and scolded his former friends.

Jizhou was originally a prosperous place for the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao did not go through any major battles when he got Jizhou. So after all these years of operation, his strength far exceeds that of all princes.

"Sikong!"

When Cao Cao was venting his anger in his big tent, Man Zhong ran over and shouted in some panic, "Yuan Shaojun is piling up a mountain of earth and building a tower." ”

Everyone hurriedly went out, and when they came to the edge of the camp, they saw that Yuan Jun on the opposite side was artificially creating a high point.

A large number of people piled up mountains of earth and rocks in baskets and prepared to build wooden towers on top of this artificial earth mountain.

"It's not going to work." Cao Cao saw through Yuan Shao at a glance that he was preparing to use the height to carry out a long-range strike outside the range of the bow and crossbow on their side, "It must be destroyed." ”

After re-preparing, Cao's army struck again to try to destroy the threat outside the city.

But Yuan Jun had already made preparations, and a large number of soldiers and horses guarded the surroundings. After a series of bloody battles with the Cao army who came out of the camp, he repelled the Cao army again.

Cao Jun's morale began to decline, and Cao Cao was also in a hurry. And Wang Xiao went to the craftsmen of the army and instructed them to build equipment.

Cao Cao, who hadn't slept much all night, had a terrible headache after dawn, so he asked people to call Wang Xiao to come over and administer acupuncture to him.

When he came to Cao Cao's big tent, Wang Xiao did not go directly to acupuncture, but said, "Sikong, I have something that can make Sikong no longer have a headache and be upset, and he will be happy immediately." ”

Cao Cao, who was covering his head, looked at him suspiciously, "What is it?" ”

"Sikong, please come and see."

Following Wang Xiao to the camp of the craftsmen accompanying the army, Cao Cao saw a strange wooden instrument as soon as he entered.

Without waiting for him to ask, Wang Xiao took the initiative to explain, "Sikong, please see, this thing is called a thunderbolt, and it uses the principle of lever to throw weapons." Nothing else matters, but what matters is that it can throw stones up to hundreds of paces, far more than a crossbow. ”

Yuan Shaojun's crossbowmen could stand on a tall building and condescendingly fire arrows at Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao's side suffers from being short of hands and can't reach people, so he can't go out of the camp to fight, and it's nonsense to give up the camp and retreat. This kind of thing that can only be beaten and cannot fight back is in the end, and the result is a rout.

When Wang Xiao took out the thunderbolt car, Cao Cao immediately sensed the great usefulness of this thing.

"Zijian, how can you do everything so well?"

Cao Cao patted Wang Xiao's shoulder with great satisfaction, "How can you reward me for me?" ”

Wang Xiao smiled and spread his legs, dropping his height, "If Sikong really wants to reward, then please reward the Yuan family's wealth and family members to the last general." ”

Wealth and goods are still secondary, and family members and other things are the most important.

Because Zhen Mi, who is described as Luoshen, is included in this category.

Cao Zhi's tragedy and regret, in addition to the failure to win the heir and being forced to write a poem in seven steps, is the longing for this Zhen Mi.

Since he has accepted other people's wishes, he naturally wants to satisfy his regrets.

Now lay the groundwork first, and wait until the day of the attack on Yecheng to start.

Cao Cao didn't know that Wang Xiao was playing with a woman's idea at this time, and he was very satisfied with Wang Xiao's self-confidence.

"It's supposed to be as confident as you are. Yuan Shaobing has nothing to be afraid of, we will eventually hit his hometown. ”

"Yes, everything is right. That's what the last will mean. ”

Yuan Shao spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build hundreds of high platforms.

A large number of crossbowmen ascended to the high platform and condescendingly shot at the Cao army camp with a rain of arrows.

Faced with the rain of arrows falling from the sky, Cao Jun was even forced to the point where he had to carry a shield on top of his head when he went to the toilet.

Yuan Shao thought that he had achieved an advantage, but it was early the next morning. Dozens of thunderbolts were discharged from Cao Cao's camp.

With the baptism of stones one after another, Yuan Jun's high platforms were smashed one after another.

The winning strategy that I was proud of was easily resolved.

Yuan Shao was furious and urged his soldiers and horses to rush towards Cao's camp.

Guandu guards the main road here, and the terrain is steep. Coupled with the strong camp of the Cao army, Yuan Shao sent troops to rush for several days but failed to break away, and had to stop fighting.

Later, he used the tactic of digging tunnels in an attempt to make a center flower.

But this trick was seen through early, and the Cao army's camp was full of half-buried water tanks, and the movement of Yuan Jun's excavation tunnels was heard clearly.

Cao Jun also dug pits in the barracks to block them, and Yuan Shao's surprise attack plan failed again.

Neither side could break the other's camp, so they could only continue to confront each other.

After several months of consuming each other, Yuan Shao's advisor Xu You came to Cao Ying and brought the news that Chun Yuqiong was transporting grain and grass and staying overnight in Wuchao.
