Chapter 141: The Battle of Guandu
"Huh?"
Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly.
Sure enough, is the current Yuan Shao still here?
Since it was Yuan Shao who led so many large armies to the south, and had already reached the position of Cao Cao's border.
That is to say, the current Yuan Shao is going to play really.
And now compared with last time, Yuan Shao can be said to be more ambitious, and it can also be said that he has exerted all his strength.
Judging from the current situation, it is not unreasonable for Yuan Shao to be in such a hurry.
Because Cao Shuo's magazine had too much influence during the Three Kingdoms period, first it was popular with the people, and then in the last few battles, Yuan Shao spent too many troops.
And in Yuan Shao's territory, although it is said that magazines are strictly prohibited, there are still many people who secretly read them, and even the harsh punishment can't stop it.
The original intention of Cao Shuo's newspaper was to consolidate Cao Cao's rule, and there was often a lot of content in it, in fact, it was all bad things about Yuan Shao, and there were no praises to Cao Cao.
Moreover, Cao Shuo's writing level is actually very superb, and many things are not said on the surface, but by using the contrast of small details to highlight Cao Cao's goodness.
Although these articles did not scold Yuan Shao on the surface, they were indeed more lethal than a smearing article.
Yuan Shao also knew deeply that if it dragged on like this...... It is estimated that his country will be wooden.
At this time, Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao brought a large army over, so he naturally prepared to deal with it.
As in history, the two sides began to confront each other at the Guandu position.
This time, Cao Shuo did not go directly, but continued to study the knowledge of chemistry and physics in his own home.
At this time, compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao actually has no difference in strength, that is to say, it is not a problem that this battle is estimated to last for a month.
Even if Cao Shuo is invincible and the Flying Tigers are brave, Yuan Shao has an army of nearly 300,000 after all.
In the face of this kind of hard power, Cao Shuo himself knows that it is almost impossible to change the situation of the battle just by himself.
And Cao Shuo did not give up directly, but was waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to directly defeat Yuan Shao.
"Hey, now we have to hurry up and take down the state, what if there is no coal?"
Cao Shuo said lightly in his heart.
And Bingzhou is the mountain stream of modern China.
The reason why coal is needed is because Cao Shuo wants to vigorously develop the metallurgical industry, which requires a lot of coal.
In addition, there are a lot of blowers and other things, as well as blacksmith talents.
A few weeks passed, and Cao Shuo heard good news from the front line while he was anxiously waiting:
"Yuan Shao has stored all the grain and grass in the black nest!"
What is this concept?
If there is no black nest, then Yuan Shao can only wait for death.
Take the black nest, Cao Cao's side will naturally win.
Cao Shuo has long known the trend of the Battle of Guandu, and has reviewed it many times, and he is also omniscient about many details in it.
Historically, the main reason for Yuan Shao's defeat in the Battle of Guandu was because the grain and grass in Wuchao were burned.
In fact, not too much grain and grass have been burned, but the problem lies in the fact that the grain and grass have been burned, and there has been a big problem in people's hearts.
The army's morale was disrupted, Yuan Shao's mentality was also explosive, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to make a desperate bet and directly take down Yuan Shao.
"Now, I'm going to the battlefield to see it!"
Cao Shuo put down the metallurgical book and stretched on the bed.
Within an hour, Cao Shuo directly notified his Flying Tiger team and prepared to take people directly to the Black Nest.
"This time, I'm going to make a meritorious service directly......"
Cao Shuo was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly saw a herald rushing in: "Master Cao Shuo, it's not good now!" ”
"Huh?"
Cao Shuo frowned slightly and said.
"Now that Yuan Shao has brought troops to Xuchang, you should retreat quickly!"
"What?"
Listening to the herald's words, Cao Shuo was instantly stunned.
Yuan Shao came to Xuchang with soldiers? It's not a dream, is it?
Besides, there is no such thing in history, Yuan Shao is simply out of the script and temporarily played.
What can I do?
In history, in fact, Yuan Shao also heard his adviser Xu You talk about the strategy of attacking Xuchang.
But at that time, Yuan Shao didn't listen to it at all, but ridiculed Xu You's short-sightedness.
In such a situation, Xu You was also sulking, and finally took refuge in Cao Cao, and proposed a plan to attack the black nest.
Can...... It doesn't matter what it is now.
Yuan Shao came over so suddenly, what kind of medicine did he take?
"They really have 300,000 people this time? Who is the leading leader? Cao Shuo hurriedly asked the herald.
"Cao Shuo Gongzi, they really have 300,000 people, and it seems that the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang are leading the team......"
"it!"
Cao Shuo suddenly opened his mouth.
This Nima Yuan Shao is really ruthless, he can even think of using Liu Bei to deal with himself.
And this matter actually has something to do with Cao Shuo, after all, he didn't get rid of Liu Bei, a person with huge ambitions, at the beginning.
"This ......"
Cao Shuo was touching his chin and thinking, when the herald spoke again:
"Gongzi Cao Shuo, you retreat first, Yuan Shao's army is now less than ten miles away from Xuchang!"
"Hmmm......"
Cao Shuo's heart still trembled slightly.
Ten Miles ...... That's been a while, and now I'm in Xuchang, if I can't even keep my own home, then how can I play?
Besides, this time Yuan Shao sent 300,000 people, and let Liu Bei, an old oilman, lead the troops.
Although Xuchang is Cao Cao's hometown, the elite soldiers and young soldiers were all pulled by Cao Cao to Guandu, and the soldiers in the entire Xuchang City are estimated to be no more than 50,000 people.
In the face of such a huge disparity in strength, the battle became really no suspense.
"It seems...... It's because of me that history has changed. ”
Cao Shuo said lightly, and at the same time thought it in his heart:
"It must be Liu Bei who said that he attacked Xuchang!"
"Only Liu Bei can convince Yuan Shao of this stupid person!"
"But in fact, Liu Bei's purpose is not for Yuan Shao, but for himself!"
"As long as he leads his troops to occupy Xuchang, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated, and at that time, Liu Bei will definitely turn against the water, and Liu Bei will also become Yuan Shao's new enemy!"
……
"It's amazing......"
Cao Shuo couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
After Liu Bei came to Xuchang, he would definitely use his identity as a descendant of the Han Dynasty to blackmail the Son of Heaven!
At that time, Liu Bei will become the second Cao Cao!
Back then, Sun Ce was also working under Yuan Shao, just relying on 3,000 men and horses, he could be invincible in Jiangdong, and now if Liu Bei occupies Xuchang, it will be really amazing!
At this time, Cao Shuo couldn't help but admire Liu Bei to the extreme.
In terms of mental skills, Liu Bei is even more powerful than Cao Cao!
