A few days later, when Gongsun Xun led 40,000 cavalry and tried to bypass the chasm and take Guandu to raid Chenliu, he was unexpectedly confused by the absurdity and inevitability of history.

It turned out that this night, when he walked to the north of Wuchaoze, only half a day away from Guandu, when he camped at night, the scouts who set off in advance reported that there were really four large and five small and five joint camps waiting for each other in Guandu!

Among them, above the largest camp in the rear, it can be seen from afar across the chasm, as if it is the banner of Cao Cao himself!

In other words, Cao Mengde had already prepared, not only set up a base in Guandu early, but also immediately woke up after Gongsun Xun tried to circumvent the rear, and then moved directly from the south bank of Pushui to Guandu without saying a word.

This seems to have made Gongsun Xun's outflanking failed in advance, and it also made Gongsun Xun inevitably think about something, but he thought about it, and he didn't feel that there was really anything wrong with Cao Cao.

In other words, unlike the battle of Guandu in history, Gongsun Xun's confidence is obviously more than Yuan Shao, he remembered the allusions in his mother's mouth that almost grinded out his ears, and without the slightest hesitation, he launched this battle very resolutely. Correspondingly, Cao Cao also obtained a super-powerful army that was completely different from history and far exceeded his own strength, so that his people could be fully armed.

However, the direction of the battle is always the same way, and it is irrefutable.

For example, the first phase of the campaign, that is, the battle of Baima-Yanjin on the north bank of Pushui, is exactly the same as the battlefield where the Battle of Guandu broke out in history...... Is it a coincidence?

Of course not.

Because in these years, between the Central Plains and Hebei, there are five ferries on the Yellow River that can allow the army to cross the river calmly, Yanjin, Baima, Puyang, Qinting, and Cangting! Starting from Yecheng, the two nearest ferries are Yanjin and Baima, and Puyang, which is further east, is a famous city in the world and a strong city.

What if I can't beat it for a year?!

There is no way, Yecheng is the political and economic center of Hebei, which is the natural result of the political and economic development of the Han dynasty in the past four hundred years, and the two nearest ferries are also objective, and they forcibly confront the objective products of the times, which can only show that Gongsun Xun's brain is in water, and there is no second explanation!

Therefore, there is no problem in the battle between Hakuba and Yanjin, at least in terms of battlefield selection!

In the same way, Guandu is the cover of the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is the key point for the Central Plains to face the north and west...... Otherwise, it's not a matter of water in the brain.

Therefore, the second phase of the campaign must inevitably be carried out in the Guandu area!

This was caused by the objective geographical and cultural conditions of the late Han Dynasty, and it was the only way for Dong Zhuo to eliminate a regime established in the Central Plains from north to south after hollowing out the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

Not only that, if Guandu is replaced with a chasm, many people will understand that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have also confronted each other here for four years in history!

In fact, after personally leading the troops away, Gongsun Xun felt particularly ridiculous, but he suddenly realized that there was more than that!

For example, he found that if he wanted to confront Cao Cao at Guandu in front, then the grain transportation route had to pass through the northern passage of Wuchaoze at his feet at this moment...... This is also a geographical inevitability!

Or else? Do you want to forcibly pass south of Wuchaoze, under Cao Cao's nose?

In fact, sitting on the bank of Wuchaoze, Gongsun Xun has also gained a more adequate understanding of some so-called historical details:

In another time and space, what Xu Yu told Cao Cao was that it was impossible for Yuan Jun's grain to be piled up in Wuchao, because Wuchao was the only way, Cao Cao couldn't not know that it was Yuan Shao's grain road, and it was impossible for Yuan Shao to put the life-like military food outside the main force's field of vision and stay still.

The military aircraft reported by Xu Ziyuan should be a new batch of military rations being escorted by Chun Yuqiong through the black nest!

As for the opportunity for Xu Yu to defect at that time, it was not necessarily Yuan Shao who reprimanded him and imprisoned his family, because that was only the reason, not the opportunity. The real timing, what really gave Xu Ziyuan the confidence to defect, must be that the grain is 'passing' through the top-secret battlefield dynamics of the black nest! Instead of food 'hoarding' in the battlefield of the black nest static!

What's even more ridiculous is that Gongsun Xun thought about it for a while and found that if he was blocked by Cao Cao in Guandu, and then wanted to use the mobility of the cavalry to outflank him, he could only follow the advice of Xu Ziyuan, who was already dead, and outflank Yingchuan, Yingyin, and Xuchang from Yuyuan Pass.

Of course, Gongsun Xun's psychological activities are based on his understanding of the geography of the battlefield after he has personally experienced it, and it is also based on his mother's words, and what he doesn't know is that his mother's second knife's understanding of the battle of Guandu is also absolutely superficial.

In another time and space, the real battle of Guandu lasted for more than a year, Cao Cao had already personally set up a base in Guandu as early as December of the previous year, and had a large-scale confrontation with Yuan's army, but he still turned around halfway to eliminate Liu Bei in Xiapi, extinguished the Runan rebellion, and prevented Yuan Shao from sending cavalry to surround the rear (Yuan Shao did not listen to Xu You's advice for a reason, he did not succeed in a large-scale circumnavigation before), and finally the two sides held each other for a whole year, and after all the soldiers and horses reached the limit, Cao Cao suddenly succeeded.

On the other hand, if the battle between Gongsun Xun and Cao Cao was still to be named the Battle of Guandu, the battle would actually have lasted for at least half a year!

Because at noon on the second day, when Gongsun Xun led the army to cross the Puji intersection and personally came to the so-called Guandu area, he found that the five permanent strong camps standing in the Guandu area in front of him could never have been built temporarily after the outbreak of war, and it took at least half a year to build, and it was likely that the Son of Heaven would start building as soon as he arrived in Nanyang.

For a while, not to mention Gongsun Xun and the generals under his command, even Jia Xu was also serious for a while, speechless.

In other words, the place where Cao Cao set up camp was not the ferry itself on the chasm of Guandu, but a key intersection in the north of the ferry should be called the Guandu area. The terrain of this place is flat, the west side is against the mountain, the east side leads the Bianshui, there is a chasm behind the oblique glide, it is a traffic point of about thirty or forty miles wide, from here to the south is Yingchuan, to the east is Chenliu, to the southeast is Chenjun.

In other words, once they cross here, with the grandeur of the Hebei cavalry, they can gallop into the hinterland of the Central Plains at will, outflanking and dividing them at will, and it will be impossible for Cao Cao to establish a comprehensive defense line unless he can become a million soldiers...... However, having said that, if you can't occupy this place, how can you go and gallop the Central Plains wantonly?

And if you want to occupy this place, the only choice is to drive out the Cao army camp in front of you, but for Gongsun Xun, who only brought 40,000 cavalry to this place in a hurry, such a strong camp in front of him could easily break through?

There are five camps, one large, four small, all of which are strictly guarded, and there are many soldiers.

"Cao Mengde has already prepared!" After a long time, Tian Chou, who was the first in the rank of the accompanying generals, frowned beside him. No wonder Mr. Zibo was not optimistic about this in his words, but he had no objections...... He should have guessed that Cao Cao would be prepared in such a critical place, but it was inevitable that the battlefield would be transferred here. Your Highness, now that the matter has come to this, shouldn't we also set up a base and fight against each other here? Then let Cheng Zhennan go out of Yuyuan Pass to face Sun Bofu, and Zhong Yongzhou out of Wuguan to Linnanyang, be sure to fight on multiple fronts and seek a breakthrough? ”

Under the white horse, Gongsun Xun stood on the horse, glanced at the Cao army camp that was in a little commotion, and said nothing in surprise.

"Actually, this is also an inevitable thing." Seeing this, Tian Yu couldn't help but interject. "If you want to go straight to the heart of Cao Cao, Guandu is the only way, Cao Mengde has no reason not to prepare here, and this place is actually empty after Dong Zhuo's chaos, and it is outside the various checkpoints in Luoyang that Cheng Zhennan can control, but it is closer to Cao Cao's hinterland, and it is ordinary for his people to be prepared here, His Highness doesn't have to care."

Gongsun Xun shook his head, and then suddenly sneered: "I'm not shocking this...... That's it...... Since you can't avoid this official crossing, then you will fight a decisive battle here, and defeat him! According to what Zitai (Tian Chou) said, while setting up a base, he sent people to detour around Yuyuan Pass and test Sun Ce's ......"

"Your Highness!"

Just when the generals were about to agree, Xun Gongda, who was beside Gongsun Xun, suddenly stepped forward and reminded in a low voice. "Look at the flag of the enemy camp."

Gongsun Xun's heart shook suddenly...... In other words, he just saw that Cao Jun's camp lost his mind and felt frustrated because Cao Cao had prepared for it! In fact, after being rewarded by the scout yesterday night, after thinking through some things, he had already been mentally prepared for a long-term confrontation here, and Jia Xu's previous advice made him make up his mind early and prepare to eliminate Cao Cao at all costs!

He just stared at Cao Jun's camp and didn't move, just because out of battlefield experience and intuition, he felt that something was wrong with the opponent's camp, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't understand what was wrong, and the idea that the long-term confrontation in the battle of Guandu was inevitable had not disappeared since last night, so he was finally ready to agree to Tian Chou's suggestion and set up a base on the spot.

At this time, Xun You's reminder made him instantly vigilant.

"Flag...... The main camp in the back is the Cao Zi banner and the scepter of the Son of Heaven! "Cheng Lian built a pergola with his hands and looked at it from afar." It's Cao Cao, and you can't be wrong! And after all, Cao Cao's road is closer than us, and he doesn't have to cross the river, so it makes sense to arrive before us...... The flags on the first four battalions were Zhu, Huang, Chen, and Lu...... This Zhu ......"

"Zhu can only be Zhu Zhi, one of the four bulls, and Sun Ce is the second deputy!" Tian Yu interfaced. "And Huang Zhong is not one of the Four Tigers, Huang Zhong is one of the Four Dogs, Huang Gai, as for Chen and Lu, it should be Lu Dai and Chen Zhimore, and Lu Bu or Lu Qian are unlikely!"

"That's a problem!" Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed on the horse. "If Cao Cao personally led a large army to help, how could He De, the four guest generals Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Chen Dao, and Lu Dai divide the four battalions in front? Where is Lu Su, shouldn't he be alone in one battalion? It was Lu Su who stayed in Pushui in the name of the deputy second of the whole army, what about Liu Ye, Liu Pan, Cao Ren, Zhou Tai and other generals? As long as one of them arrives with Cao Cao, he must have a special battalion, right? ”

The crowd was instantly uplifted.

"The meaning of the lord and the military advisor is ...... Only the four battalions in the front are real, and the big battalions in the back are empty? Cao Cao didn't come?! Yuwen Black Otter swallowed and reluctantly asked.

"It must be so!" Tian Yu was also excited. "This place is connected to Chen Liu's left and Yingchuan on the right, so the first four generals belong to two Sun Ce, and two Liu Bei belong to them, perhaps they are in charge of garrisoning here, and it stands to reason that it should be enough to guard against surprise attacks...... But how could they have imagined that our army could mobilize 40,000 cavalry in a single detour and raid? Therefore, the big battalion in the back must be a bluff, it can't be just a fake scepter and flag, and the camp is full of people! ”

"Perhaps, maybe Cao Cao really brought his remaining more than 10,000 cavalry to arrive early, or maybe he could only send Cao Chun or Cao Ren and Cao Hong to take over the camp in advance with a scepter." Gongsun Xun sneered. "But why not give it a try? Wenyuan (Zhang Liao), Ju Zheng (Cheng Lian)! ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

"The end will be here!" Zhang and Cheng Er stepped forward excitedly.

"The two of you are the vanguard, each leading 5,000 horsemen, sparing the front four battalions on the left and right, and going straight to the rear camp!"

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

"The rest are all ready for battle, the spear is set, the knife is out of the sheath, the arrow is wound, if the front battalion sends troops to block, then the rear battalion must be empty, then except for the white horse and the Hun cavalry, the whole army immediately spontaneously forward, to destroy the enemy and seize the camp as the key! Liu and Zhang's second lieutenants (Yu Fuluo and Xu Bu Juci) led the Xiongnu archers from the headquarters to cover my left and right. ”

The generals responded with a bang, and Yu Fuluo, who had made a mistake in the sour jujube before, naturally had nothing to say, and Su Bu Juci didn't dare to say much.

At noon in summer, the sun was in the sky, the clouds were scattered, the cicadas were singing, everything was so restless and sultry, but a moment later, when the thousands of horses rushed and Tie Ge crossed out left and right, all of this was instantly suppressed, so that people had the illusion that the whole world was suddenly silent!

Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian came out from both wings, and went around the left and right to attack the rear camp of the Cao army, and the cavalry was fierce, shaking the field almost instantly, pressing in front of the enemy camp...... And at this moment, almost at the same time, the outer second battalion of the four battalions in front, that is, in the camp where the two banners of Huang and Chen were located, the camp gate was instantly opened, and countless foot soldiers swarmed out, trying to cut off the two cavalry forces out of the camp.

There was no need for Gongsun Xun to give another order, and the four generals Tian Chou, Tian Yu, Yang Kai, and Yuwen Black Otter, who were properly prepared, immediately followed the previous order, and each general was divided into left and right to attack these two troops.

And Yu Fu Luo and Su Bu were second, and immediately led the Hun cavalry to step forward to cover Gongsun Xun's main formation on the left and right, and also monitor the second battalion that had not moved in the middle.

Under the White Horse, Gongsun Xun, who had already understood what was going on, shook his head and smiled when he saw this, but he couldn't help but look at Xun Yu beside him, and then praised him: "Wenhe points directly to the hearts of the people, and Gongda is full of battles...... How can the world's wisdom come out of two military divisions? ”

Jia Xu naturally didn't say much.

However, Xun You was not in a hurry, and calmly replied immediately: "A mere wisdom can actually be broken by force, and a small force can be stopped...... Your Highness, Cao Mengde doesn't know what to do, but it won't be far away, and this battle may not be successful. ”

Gongsun Xun first bowed slightly, but shook his head slightly: "Regardless of him, the matter has come to this point, we have seized the fighter and exhausted the main force, don't think about the superfluous, no matter what, even if you can't break through the local camp, you have to kill two cows and dogs to sacrifice officials." ”

Xun You and Jia Xu glanced at each other when they heard this, and they stopped making a sound.

The war broke out suddenly, and 30,000 cavalry were exhausted, and the end was overwhelming. Faced with such a situation, after a moment of distraction, in the Cao army's camp, that is, in the largest camp at the back, Cao Ang, who had delayed his marriage because of the war, couldn't help but look at his uncle, who was not much older than himself, Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, who had only arrived here yesterday afternoon.

And Cao Chun was also pale, I don't know if he was afraid or angry!

It turned out that, as Xun Yu reminded Gongsun Xun to guess, the main force of the Cao army did not arrive here.

In fact, although Cao Jun discovered the Yan army's departure from the camp in Pubei and immediately concluded that the other party was likely to bypass Guandu, they misjudged Gongsun Xun's determination and speed...... They never imagined that Gongsun Xun would come so quickly and so much.

It's not that they don't have combat experience, it's not that they're not smart enough, it's not that they underestimate Gongsun Xun, in the final analysis, they lack knowledge and understanding of the use of cavalry at this level.

In the past, Xiahou Yuan led thousands of cavalry, often able to five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days, but that was only a few thousand cavalry. So they never knew how terrible the speed would be, even if it was tens of thousands of troops, when the troops were all cavalry, when this cavalry unit temporarily threw away all its baggage and tried to march in a hurry!

Back in front of him, at this moment, there are only 18,000 people in the four battalions in front of him, and in the big camp where Cao Ang is located, there are only Cao Chun's 3,000 tigers and leopards, and the rest of the battalion are full of people! It's already thankful that you can pull the bow and arrow arm without shaking!

The scepter is real, it was brought by Cao Cao Chun in advance, which was used to control the four generals of Zhu, Huang, Chen, and Lu, and to reassure people's hearts; Cao Zi Daqi is not cheating, this camp was originally Cao Ang's permanent here, responsible for transporting grain and grass, while supervising the reinforcement of the camp...... Of course, the main reason is that Cao Zixiu has a very good relationship with Sun Ce, and he wants to marry Sun's daughter immediately, and this place connects Chenliu and Yingchuan, not to mention that there are Sun's reinforcements stationed in itself, and Yingchuan in the south is Sun Ce's main force, so Cao Ang is the most suitable here.

"Zixiu." On the platform of the camp general, Cao Chun, who was dressed in strict order, looked at the battle outside the camp from a distance, just thought for a moment, and immediately gasped and looked at his nephew beside him, as if he had made up his mind. "Your father and your son, Uncle Xiao, with the main army, estimate that they will arrive at night...... I was wrong for not listening to your father, and I really shouldn't have closed my door. ”

Cao Ang hurriedly nodded: "So what can I do?" ”

"It's simple." Cao Chun also nodded, but suddenly reached out and grabbed his nephew's hands, and gave the other party a standard answer by the way. "Your Miaocai uncle can die, of course you and I can die, but if I die, you can die! If you die, you can't lose this big battalion! Got it? ”

After that, he didn't wait for Cao Ang's reply, so he let go directly, and then turned over in front of the stage, and with a wave of the horsewhip, he shouted an order, asking the whole army of 3,000 tigers and leopards to be dispatched! The target is exactly where the banner of the left-wing offensive is the fiercest!

For a while, Cao Ang, who stayed in place, could only nod his head to his uncle who never looked back in a trance, as a sign of order.

————I am the dividing line of the first battle of Guandu————

"Cao Tun Yu Punan...... Cha Xun traveled westward, knowing that he wanted to be interested in the official crossing, but he went west to help, and he was worried about the Hebei cavalry halfway, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, so he sent Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard to ride thousands of people to hold the festival first, and told him before leaving: 'I know Gongsun Wenqi also, his soldiers are decisive, and he only spares the lives of his soldiers, and he is unwilling to do tough things. Guandu originally had a camp, and when the people planted the banner inside, they opened four gates, and Chen Bing was in front of the battle, facing him, and only talked about the story of the county. When he saw that the camp was thick and high, and that there were soldiers advancing forward, he would not take it. 'Pure Fang went to the Guandu camp, but before he arrived, Xun led 100,000 horsemen to rush to the scene, and the iron horse Jin Ge threatened the Quartet, and he was purely terrified, and he hesitated and did not dare to go out of the base. Seeing this, Xun smiled, but looked left and right and said: "This must be suspicious soldiers." Then the whole army attacked fiercely. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
