Chapter 128: Guandu! Guandu!
The crackling fire was blazing, the well-built well fence, the oarcar was licked by the blazing fire, as if seven or eight big fires had been erected by the river, and the smoke wafting up could be seen for dozens of miles, and behind the well fence, thousands of residents of White Horse City were in tears, helping the old and the young in the custody of Cao Jun, three steps and one turn back to flee to the south.
Xing, the people are bitter! Death, the people suffer! Here is a vivid.
But Cao Cao can't help it, after all, it is not necessarily lucky to leave them in Baima, and then they will have to be recruited by Yuan Shao, who crossed the river, to be used as cattle and horses for the Hebei camp to do tiring work, it is better to take them away, maybe they will return home one day.
There are more than 12,000 soldiers of Cao Cao's three armies along with each other, this time the early strategic duel, in fact, Xu Du's Central Plains Group decision-making is really very brilliant, Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan brothers and Guo Jia as a feint, crossing Mengjin to the north, making a detour behind Yuan Shao, threatening the back of the Hebei army, attracting Yuan Shao, who was originally marching to the white horse, temporarily changed his mind, more than 100,000 troops marched westward, intending to meet Cao Cao, but was played by Cao Zong, 10,000 horses ran east, and defeated the Wenchou vanguard army in one fell swoop, He also beheaded the Hebei general Wen Chou here.
This is particularly demoralizing for the decisive battle between the two armed groups!
However, Yuan Shao is chest slap, there are many generals, more than 10,000, and more than 110,000 or even more, he returned the army to Baima, Cao Cao had to withdraw, 10,000 enemies 110,000, he really won't scatter beans into soldiers, and at the same time abandoned Mengjin, Baima two ferries, and gave up Dongjun.
No tricks, this is people's hard power!
And this is almost Cao Jun just burned the well, the Yuan Shao 110,000 army began the magnificent Dadu River, the sappers carried the wooden boat, slid into the smooth river water, and then laid a wooden plank on it, strung it with a rope, tinkling and clanging sound, in just ten minutes, a pontoon bridge has begun to take shape.
After the palace in person, he turned around and glanced at the Hebei cavalry who had taken the lead in leading the horse across the river and shouting excitedly galloping, Cao Cao sighed, put away the binoculars, kicked the horse's belly a few times, and followed the team.
Seeing him like this, Wang Hou's mood also became heavy, it seems that Cao Cao, commanded in "New Three Kingdoms", played four tricks in one go, and easily defeated Yuan Shao's army of up to 700,000, after all, it is still a divine drama! This battle is not as easy to fight as I imagined!
After more than 20 days in the north, at the end of the cold November, the main force of more than 36,000 Cao troops returned to Guandu in Jishui.
In fact, in fact, relying on the advantage of cavalry and the natural danger of the Yellow River, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun can actually be entangled for more than ten days, after all, no matter how huge the army is, across the river, it will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness, you cross a small part, I will eat a small part of you, which is enough to give Yuan Shao a headache for a long time, but Cao Cao still decisively abandoned the Yellow River natural danger and abandoned Dongjun, because the sacrifice brought by such entanglement is not necessary at all!
More than forty miles north of Puyang is the rich Jizhou! For this battle, it is said that Yuan Shao prepared two million stone grain, from the plain of more than 40 miles of Huaxian County, Yuan Shao can get a steady stream of grain and grass and reinforcements, but on the other hand, Cao Cao's side, although Yanzhou is also his jurisdiction, but after the chaos of Lu Bu, there is not much population left in the entire East County, and there is no strong city with grain, in order to prevent Yuan Shao, most of the grain that Wang Hou knocked down was transported to Zhongmu south of Jishui, Cao Cao wanted to confront Yuan Shao across the Yellow River, he had to pay the price of more than 200 miles of grain.
Moreover, this section of the Yellow River in Dongjun, there are Mengjin and Baima ferries, although the water on the other side of Puyang is deep, it can be relatively stable, and the big boat can send people slowly and leisurely, and it can also send one or two thousand people to cross over, and when the time comes, the back will be outflanked and sticky, and Yuan Shao on the opposite side will cross the Yellow River to fight with it, and it will collapse directly.
This is a typical strategy of space for strategic advantage, Cao Cao gave up Dongjun, let Yuan Shao lead the army to cross the Yellow River, dragged the battlefield to Guandu, Wang Hou prepared those grain Cao army can enjoy on the spot, and Yuan Shao needs to bear more than 240 miles of grain road, and although Jishui is not as spacious and turbulent as the main stream of the Yellow River, there are few flaws, within a radius of several hundred miles, only Guandu, a gentle ferry, Cao can always concentrate on a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
And don't say, when I came back, I was still a little surprised, the last time Wang Hou came back, Guandu was bare, this time the army returned, Xiahou Dun, who was opening the way in the front army, suddenly stood up in amazement, and picked up the telescope that was also imitated by the prime minister and pointed it on his one-eyed, and after looking at it a few times, he hurriedly waved the flag.
"Moratorium! Stay on the defensive! ”
"Prime Minister! There is a situation ahead!! ”
With a long voice, this guy is pumping the horse's ass and galloping back.
What is he talking about, he really scared Cao Cao and Wang Hou who accompanied Cao Cao back, and ran back in a hurry with his personal guards, holding up the binoculars and looking, but Wang Hou couldn't help but shook his head speechlessly.
A layer of lead-gray foam covers it like foam on beer, and some of the areas are still being processed! Like the engineering team of later generations, the people recruited by Yanzhou carried bricks to the construction site one by one, three blue-gray Han bricks in a row, and a layer of cement was pasted in the middle like cream, and then slapped against the wall, and then the next piece, an arc-shaped breast wall wrapped both sides of the official road for several miles in the middle.
This process, in addition to the Wang family engineering team, Wang Yuan, Wang Hammer, Wang Ni, and several other contractors who have been contracted in Puyang for half a year, Wang Hou can't find a second one for the time being! Putting down the binoculars, Wang Hou smiled relaxedly.
"Don't be nervous, your own people, before your subordinates and General Zhang Liao join forces to march into the army, let Qiling take the engineering team under her command to build fortifications in Guandu, in case the cavalry of the Yuan army may hijack the ferry grain road, she should lead people to build it!"
"Qiling?"
"Eh......, it's Lu Ji!"
Mentioning the junior in front of the old father-in-law, even if this little third is personally appreciated by the old father-in-law, Wang Hou still has a feeling of weakness, sure enough, listening to Lu Ji, Cao Cao's old face can't help but become a little weird, but fortunately, before the war, Cao Cao didn't come to fight a general, just twisted his beard and hummed stupidly.
"It's fast! Not bad! ”
"Pass on the order of the prime minister, the front is unharmed, continue to march!"
Afraid of causing misunderstanding, Wang Hou simply sent Wang Congge to return to the Guandu camp with a letter first, Cao Cao simply did not return to the Chinese army, and directly followed the former army Xiahoudun to advance together, and even accelerated the pace, the telescope saw that the two miles were there in a blink of an eye, Liu Ye, Chen Liutaishou Wu Zhi and other officials lined up at the door to greet them, in the crowd, Lu Ji, who was left by Cao Hongjie, a little girl to serve Wang Hou, was also among them, seeing Cao Cao appearing at the gate of the camp first, they hurriedly bent down and bowed, Salute.
"Meet the Prime Minister!"
Seeing Wang Hou's return, Lu Ji's usual ancient pupils were filled with excitement and ecstasy for the first time, and even a step forward in a hurry, only then did he wake up in the sound of the visit, and bowed down together, Wang Hou, who was riding a horse and following Cao Cao in this scene, couldn't help but be stunned, but seeing his own girl, especially his own capable girl, he also hurriedly responded with a smile, and the smile once again made Lu Ji's little face change slightly, Two beautiful red clouds appeared on her pink cheeks.
However, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the eyebrows of his son-in-law and Xiao San'er, and even he ignored the salute under his command, and focused on the newly built wall. And it is not connected, every ten meters or so, there is a gap of about four meters, the center of the second wall corresponds exactly to the center gap of the first wall, and the third wall corresponds to the gap of the second wall.
The complex structure of the wall made Cao Cao unable to stand the confusion, but as an old soldier, after a little thought, his pupils lit up again.
"Very nice! Ladies and gentlemen, please get up! ”
Liu Ye, who heard this, couldn't help but smile on his face, but Cao Cao hadn't finished tossing, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the edge of the specially repaired gatehouse on the side of the official road.
With a bang, Wang Hou obviously saw that Old Master Cao's old face twitched slightly, his beard trembled violently, and he forcibly maintained his image as a wise monarch, so he shook his hand without pain.
However, Mr. Cao's competitiveness was aroused again, and he suddenly took a step back, and in Wang Hou's straight grin, he pulled out his Yitian Sword with a hum, and slashed it against the wall.
"Good!"
I didn't feel distressed at all, anyway, Wang Hou could hit a sword that leaned on the sky, and he could hit a second one, and put the sword back into its sheath, Cao Cao was extremely excited and shouted hello again, and then turned around, and suddenly raised the sword scabbard and shouted.
"Pass on the order of the prime minister, and the army will enter the village!"
…………
Twenty-two days to build three walls, the total length of more than 40 miles, for the late Han Dynasty this era, has been regarded as an engineering miracle, so inside the wall, don't expect any more exquisite buildings, fortunately, before departure, Cao Jun also built some wooden sheds and the like, went north to fight a few battles and returned, so as not to come back to sleep in the open air.
And the materials are hoarded here, and the Cao army, which is re-stationed in the barracks, also has a very convenient way to obtain supplies such as horse materials, and the cavalry finally breathe out easily, and can't wait to pull the horses to drink the horses by the water, and then feed the grass mixed with wheat bran, and the infantry brothers on the other end are around the coal stove built with bricks, comfortably roasting the steamed buns on the fire.
On the other end, Wang Hou hurriedly rushed to the rear baggage camp, and before he could say goodbye to his little wife Lu Ji, the head of Mr. Cao's personal bodyguard rushed over in a hurry.
"Envoy! The prime minister beckoned you and Mrs. Lu to meet him! ”
Asked Lu Ji to go with him, Wang Hou couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this wife accused the old man of not seeing Qiling's ability, she regretted it, and wanted to take her back!
According to the atmosphere of the late Han Dynasty, it is really uncertain, thinking worriedly, in front of Xu Chu, Wang Houshi suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Ji's little hand.
However, this action made Lu Ji's little face obviously show a stunned expression, and in the next second, it was continuously blown by the north wind, and the little face, which had been slightly rough, was red like blood, and deeply pulled the little brain down.
However, her little hand was still pulled in Wang Hou's hand, without the slightest intention of withdrawing, and even pulled tighter.
Cao Cao's army, or the big tent decorated with bronze pillars, is fully carried out at this time, the coal stove burning outside will be dozens of square meters of hollow bricks on the ground hot, here and in the prime minister's mansion in Xudu is no different, but the stay is comfortable, eat Cao Cao is with the soldiers to share the joys and sorrows, is also a roasted steamed bun, plus a plate of pickles to wrap the stomach.
When Wang Hou arrived, Liu Ye and Wu Zhi just came out, and when they saw him spreading dog food hand in hand, the two of them bowed to Wang Hou very respectfully.
"The lower official has seen the envoy!"
"Liu Shizhong, Wu Fujun is polite!"
Everyone has a lot of things on hand, after saying hello, they directly said goodbye to their own business, Wang Hou didn't take it to heart, and still took Lu Ji's little hand into the Zhongjun tent, until he saw Cao Cao, he let go of Lu Ji, who was almost feverish, and knelt down, bowing respectfully.
"Your subordinate Wang Hou, meet your father!"
This Cao Cao is nibbling on roasted steamed buns! Leng Buding looked at his little hand that had been holding Lu Ji, and the old guy's face was obviously stunned, but it quickly became weird, and he slapped the table with some annoyance.
"Get up! Just now, Liu Ye and Wu Zhi came to report that the construction of a defensive wall for our army is all the credit of the old man's righteous daughter Lu Qiling's command and planning! My daughter is meritorious! Specially given the position of Dongquan Pavilion Jun! Reward 100 pieces of cloth! Let's go down! ”
"Daughter, thank you for your father's grace!"
Following Wang Hou's side with a dignified bow, Lu Ji immediately withdrew from the Chinese army in small steps, but in the retreat, there was still a rich flush on her cheeks, and a look of shame was added.
It has been almost a year since she married Wang Hou, and for the first time, she felt so belonging.
But here, Wang Hou is a little embarrassed, Cao Cao just this righteous daughter, my daughter bites very hard, that is to tell him that the old man is not interested in your kid's little three! The feeling is that he thinks too much, kneeling on the ground, Wang Hou scratches the back of his head and smiles sadly, Cao always snorted coldly when he looks at this look, but he didn't settle accounts with him, but his tone changed, and he diverted the topic to other places.
"Liu Ye reports, the defensive wall outside the camp is all the credit of your kid! The drawings you left behind, Lu Ji's little girl led the construction! These three walls can reach at least 20,000 troops! Cement! Stirrup! Back to the gun! The old man really doubted that in Shouchun that day, did the soldier really cut off your kid's head, and God changed your kid's head to get a melon seed in order to achieve his true cause! ”
"Forehead ......"
Don't say it, although the brain melon seeds have not fallen, but Mr. Cao guessed that it is really ** not far from ten, so frightened that Wang Hou's old face stiffened, and his back suddenly broke into a cold sweat, fortunately, the old man just sighed, and immediately focused on the war in front of him.
"Old Man Yuan's family has a big business, and since he was a child, his pockets have been a little heavier than those of my family! This time it is a mighty army of 110,000! What a big formation! ”
"However, there are many people, the heavy military rations are also heavy, plus his heavy big guys, crossing the Yellow River all the way to Guandu, it will take at least half a month or so, our army is lightly armed, and it will take him at least ten days! In the past ten days, what do you think our army needs to do urgently! ”
"Prime Minister, in the opinion of the following ministers! The first priority is to repair the septic tank twenty on the Jishui side! ”
"Forehead ......"
Seeing Wang Hou's solemn face and swearing, he really thought that he was going to come up with some big killer, but as soon as the three words septic tank came out, Mr. Cao was stunned for a minute, and then he became angry, and several green tendons burst out of his head, and he smashed the roasted steamed buns out in a hurry, which happened to hit Wang Hou's head, and then he waved his coat sleeves and roared angrily.
