Chapter 536: The Battle of Guandu (1)

Chen Liucheng still didn't take it down after all, and when he heard that Cao Cao was coming, Ji Ling hurriedly led Chen Lan and other departments, a total of 60,000, to Guandu.

Just halfway through, a team of Chu troops found Ji Ling.

The Chinese army protected by 60,000 troops, a team of knights dressed in Chu army flying fish suits led to Ji Ling's side, Li Le and other arrogant soldiers were not there, Chen Lan was much more honest, and the remaining lieutenants who were not ranked in the number did not dare to let go of a fart.

It is rare to enjoy the treatment that a real commander should have, and he received the Chu army with some pride.

"At the inferior level, the Chu army brocade guard, there is something important to report!"

Jinyi Wei is only a few people, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and his method is like his own friendly army in this army.

Yuan Shuzhi's Qi army was prone to plundering, and when he met the Chu army scouts in the territory, he robbed them, and then sold them at a higher price in Beihai and Nanyang.

When the Chu Jun of the general squad sees them, he will hide as far as little Lori sees a perverted uncle.

Obviously, this group of Chu troops who passed on the flying fish suit were from the second class.

Ji Ling secretly admired and asked, "How many people came here at a big risk, I don't know why?" ”

Several brocade guards looked up at Ji Ling's face, looked at them carefully for a while, and nodded after exchanging glances with each other.

This performance stunned Ji Ling, and he only understood when the leading Jinyi Wei spoke.

"Hello General Ji Ling! Here's a letter from my father-in-law! ”

A wax-sealed letter box was handed to Ji Ling, and Ji Ling was surprised that Cao Xing, who had been disconnected, would look for me, and at the same time, he understood that the other party had been observing his face just now, to determine whether he was himself.

Jin Yiwei either has a portrait of himself, or someone has seen him, and the former may look bigger.

This is a period of war, the appearance of the opposing general's appearance is one of the most important military information, if Ma Chaojun knows Cao Cao's appearance in history, then there will be no Cao Wei in later generations.

Ji Ling opened the letter, which began with Cao Xing's cordial greetings to Ji Ling, and then wrote:

…… Yuan Shao is indecisive and unscrupulous, and now he is a very popular minister, and he is even more arrogant, these problems can be said to be explosive growth.

Having said all this, it is certain that Yuan Shao will not send troops too quickly, at least the whole army will not attack too quickly, not to mention more than a month.

However, there is an exception in the Zhao army, that is, my Cao Mengde with the same surname, he will lead his troops to attack!

He won't have too many people, maybe more than 10,000, but he is a top commander talent! The top handsome talents who are really good are ashamed of themselves, so General Ji can't be careless!

I will let the Jinyi guards around the Yellow River fully cooperate with you, and if necessary, I will also let the Canghai Chu Army disguise themselves as yellow turbans to help you!

We must work together to take down Cao Cao!

Today's Zhao lost Cao Cao, just like the Warring States Zhao lost Li Mu, and his demise is not far away!

The inscription is Cao Xing's name.

The information about Yuan Shao in this letter is not what he can learn about as a powerful military general, who may not even know Yuan Shu as his own brother.

But Cao Xing's tone was very affirmative, as if he was Yuan Shao, he said that if the Zhao army did not send troops, the Zhao army would not send troops, and he said that the Zhao army would send troops in a month, and the Zhao army would send troops in a month.

Hebei and Chenliu are only separated by a river, and the army gathers and then sends troops, it can be said that a few days is enough, where can it be a month.

At this moment, the leader of the Jinyi Guard saw that Ji Ling had finished reading the letter, and left him a moment to ponder and digest, and said:

"The brocade guard explores the horse and returns! Cao Cao's army of more than 10,000 has arrived at the north bank of Guandu, and at this moment is collecting and building boats in Guandu, and may swim and even build a pontoon bridge to cross the river at any time.

The Zhao army is still slowly assembling, and there is no sign of sending troops. ”

Looking at Jin Yiwei's posture, Cao Xing wrote the book first and the trustee sent it over, and the news of Jin Yiwei is the latest, and it turns out that Cao Xing's prediction about the opponent's soldiers is right.

Then about Cao Cao's evaluation, it is very likely to be true, Ji Ling couldn't help but be cautious.

With the help of Jinyiwei, the lack of war horses, the Qi army, which was already not much scouts, became well-informed, as if the eyes were suddenly cured of the blind, this unprecedented feeling made Ji Ling very intoxicated, and made up his mind to build the scout team of the Qi army.

With the help of Jinyiwei, Ji Ling's 60,000 army, even if he encountered a few times who were rebelled by Cao Cao, gathered domestic servants and people to bluff and pretend to be an army to scare them, they were quickly recognized, and even the scholars and the people were packed and taken away.

There will be Jinyi guards to escort these prisoners to the Yellow River, and then take the ships of the sea division into Chu, such people with criminal records and some prisoner status, North Korea is the best way out for them.

Without the slightest delay, Ji Ling's army came to Guandu, and at this time, Guandu was already encamped for days, full of Qi army flags, mixed with the banners of the commander, vanguard, generals, etc.

I didn't expect Ji Ling to come so soon, Zhang Xun hurriedly organized the department to come to greet him.

The two armies met, and before they had time to greet each other, they had already seen the figure of the flying fish suit from the other party's team.

The Chu army retreated again and again in the face of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's attacks, and then took the initiative to negotiate peace, preferring to suffer a big loss and lose a large piece of land, and now it has begun to be active on the battlefield again, although it is only a small group of intelligence personnel, but it is enough for Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to be cautious.

Fortunately, the other party is helping himself.

Ji Ling just exchanged a few words with Zhang Xun and went straight to the point.

"General Zhang, I brought 60,000 elites this time, how many people are you here?"

"I have a tiger prison to guard, and a large area of the Yellow River to guard against, so it's not much, only 30,000!"

Thirty thousand?

This number far exceeded Ji Ling's expectations, Xingyang is located in the Central Plains, there is no danger to defend for three weeks, and the remaining week is to the west, and it is necessary for 30,000 troops to guard against Luoyang's hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops.

The long stretch of the Yellow River is very easy to encounter the Zhao army flowing down from Luoyang, so it is necessary to have an army of 30,000 to defend the tidal flats where it can land, and it borders the Chu army in the south.

The Chu army is stuck, there is a military village, there are mountains to rely on, they don't have it, leaving an army of 30,000 only has the effect of containment, Ji Ling thought that Zhang Xun only had 10,000 at most in Guandu.

He only has about 100,000 troops, 90,000 on three sides, and there are also internal garrisons, so it would be good to be able to get 10,000.

This is also the reason why Ji Ling abandoned Chen and stayed behind and hurriedly came to Guandu.

To the south of the Yellow River, east of the Tiger Pass, the Qi army complained and complained, unable to make a living, and was afraid that it would be plundered by the army every day.

Like the kind of spontaneous organization on the road to disturb the marching team of the Qi army, once the elite of the Zhao army and the Chu army, who won the hearts of the people, entered the territory, it was definitely a spark that could set the prairie on fire.

Cao Cao must be guarded against, and Cao Xing must also be guarded against.
