Chapter 136: The Battle of Guandu shook the world

Wuchao's Wen Chou didn't take this matter seriously. Two days later, the spies came to report that the Pang army had withdrawn. He didn't believe it, but he led five thousand horsemen over to take a look, and if there was really no one, he left an empty village, and it seemed that he was in a hurry. At the same time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought again in Guandu, killing the sky in the dark. After the rainstorm came, the men and horses were tired and both led the army back. Cao Cao went down to the village thirty miles south of Yuan Shaojun. The strategists of both sides were shrewd people, and they took advantage of the rainy day to pick up dirt, dig up rocks, cut down trees, and even built a small city for several days in a row to fight against each other. Cao Cao made it clear that he was going to start a protracted war and wait for Pang to unify the army. But Yuan Shao thought that Pang Tong would not go to fight Wuchao if he was newly defeated, so he planned to wait for the opportunity to fight Cao Cao's army again.

By the time Wen Chou received the news of the battle in the south, it was already four days later. But this military general does not understand military strategy and cannot figure out the situation. Tian Feng, a strategist in the city, seemed to feel that the problem was serious, and immediately wrote a document about the situation in Wuchao and asked Wen Chou to send troops to Guandu urgently. Wen Chou thought to himself: "Nothing, safe and sound, what kind of paperwork to write?" I think it's this Tian Feng who wants to invite credit. ”

The paperwork was then pressed down and not served. Many days later, Wen Chou ordered someone to send food to Guandu.

A day later, a sudden report came that Pang Tong's army was marching on the west side. Wen Chou wanted to lead the troops out of the city, but Tian Feng stopped him: "I won't wait for the strong wall to come out, and Pang Tongjun can't do anything about us." There's no need to rush. ”

"The last time I challenged them, they were like turtles with shrunken heads, but that's it."

"The general is not allowed to go out of the city, Pang Tong is scheming......"

"Strategists don't know how to march and fight!" After that, he led the army out of the city. Tian Feng was annoyed, but there was no way, and sighed: "It's over." ”

At the same time, the grain convoy to the south had traveled fifty miles away. Just feel that the weather is unbearable, the marching team is also a little scattered, on a plain, only to see a group of men and horses galloping out at the foot of the mountain in the distance, as the first member of the general is Pang Tong Army West King Ma Chao. The grain team was in chaos before it was beaten, and was killed by Ma Chaochong for a while and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Pang Tong led 150,000 troops to confront the Wen Chou army head-on, and killed them on the plain. But because Yan Liang was familiar with the road, he had already led 20,000 horsemen to kill the rear of Wen Chou's army. Wen Chou lamented that when Pang Tongjun came out of nowhere, the army was in chaos. He rode his horse and wanted to flee, but happened to meet Yan Liang leading the troops to kill him.

Wen Chou held the halberd and said angrily: "Traitor! So he killed the past desperately. Yan Liang whipped his horse, and the two generals killed each other. Yan Conscience sighed in his heart, but each of them had no choice but to lose his face. When the two fought for more than ten rounds, Wen Chou was already in the bag of Yan Liangjun's cavalry.

"Brother Wen, descend early!"

"Phew!"

Wen Chou swept a halberd angrily, and Yan Liang resisted with a long knife. Unexpectedly, Yan Liang's cavalry picked up their bows and arrows, aimed at Wen Chou, and shot them on the horse's belly. The war horse neighed wildly, and Wen Chou was thrown out by surprise, rolling to the ground, and the weapons in his hands were gone. Wen Chou found the halberd, and within a few steps he was already surrounded by cavalry, he held a spear with one hand, and the cold cold light paused on one side. But another shot swept directly into his back, and the whole person lost his center of gravity.

"Descend early!"

Yan Liang shouted angrily, and the big knife was horizontally in front of Wen Chou. Wen Chou gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "God will not allow me!" "There are already guns and halberds all around him. After Wen Chou was captured alive, his army was surrounded and suppressed by 40,000 people, and the others struggled to break through the encirclement and scattered. Among them, the more sophisticated 20,000 horsemen successfully escaped back to the black nest under the command of Zhang Jaw, the general of the Wen Chou Department. When Tian Feng learned about this, he was furious and scolded: "Reckless man! He ordered Zhang Jaw to stay out, and at the same time asked Puyang for help, and reported the situation to Yuan Shao in Guandu.

Yuan Shao took the initiative to send troops to challenge Cao Cao in Guandu, and Cao Cao originally wanted his soldiers and horses to wait outside tirelessly before fighting. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's adviser Xu Yu offered a plan to build a high platform with earth and stones on the east side of Cao Cao's army, and at the same time do a good job of precaution and establish Dazhai. Cao Cao knew that it was not the time to send troops to shake it. However, after Yuan Shao's high platform was completed, he could overlook the situation in his city. In a hurry, Guo Jiaxian planned to raid Yuan Shaojun at night. At the same time, two of Yuan Shao's advisors and Xu You quarreled over a plan to attack Cao Cao. Because the daughter of the trial match married Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao often favored the trial in his opinions, which may be the reason why he trusted his own people too much. And during the dispute, the judge said: "Xu You, you are Cao Cao's fellow countryman, I don't know!" The last time our army was attacked outside Xuchang City, I'm afraid it has something to do with you! ”

Yuan Shao, who was hesitant about the war, heard the words and had a nameless fire in his heart, and scolded Xu You for no reason. Xu You sighed and followed the wrong person, and fled to Cao Cao's city overnight, and it happened that Cao's army was in the city to order troops and plan to leave the city. After Cao Cao got Xu You, he knew Yuan Shaojun well. launched a sneak attack that night, first lined up at the south gate of the main gate, and Yuan Shao immediately waved his army and waited after the gate. And Cao Cao's military general, Xiahou Dun, led a small group of people and horses to break through the unstable north gate with wooden pillars. Inside the north gate turned out to be the place where Yuan Shaojun hoarded grain. By the time Yuan Shaojun discovered the enemy's attack, it was already in flames.

Yuan Shao ordered the whole army to fight to kill the enemy. Those who were judged and killed ten people could become officials, which made Yuan Shaojun's morale undiminished. The battle was so colorless that the moonlight was colorless, and the blood was gushing like a spring.

Pang Tong waved his army to attack Wuchao, the defenders did not come out of the wall, and Pang Tong made a cloud car to attack the wall. Zhang Jaw and Tian Feng had heard of Pang Tongjun's cloud car, but they had never seen it. By the time they saw clearly, Pang Tongjun had already rushed to the top of the wall. Under the persuasion of Zhang Jaw, Tian Feng and he took 5,000 horsemen to open the north gate and fled. Walking thirty miles, he met Ju Yi, the Puyang guard, who led 120,000 people to come to the rescue. However, because Pang Tong's army had already taken the city, he had to go home. As a result, Yuan Shaojun and Chenliu County were isolated within the encirclement of Sizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou. The day after Pang Tong captured Wuchao, he received a report from Kuaima that Yuan Shao's army was defeated by Cao Cao's army, but both sides suffered heavy losses. At present, Cao Cao waved the remnants of his army of 120,000 people to the north to surround Chenliu County, and Yuan Shao's army in the city was less than 60,000 people. At the same time, Cao Ren led 80,000 troops from Suiyang County, east of Chenliu County, to march to Chenliu County. Four days later, Cao Renjun and Cao Cao's headquarters formed an encirclement offensive against Chenliu County.

Pang Tong entered the Wuchao and used the former county government hall director. At this time, on both sides of the Wen and Wu columns, Yan Liang escorted Wen Chou, who was tied up, inside. Wen Chou shouted and scolded: "Yan Liang, you untrustworthy thing! Why didn't you just cut Lao Tzu down! You clearly want to humiliate me! Refusing to kneel, Pang Tong glanced at Yan Liang, and Yan Liang stood behind him without moving. Wen Chou held his head high and glared angrily at Pang Tong: "Child! Today, grandpa, I was calculated by you! ”

Pang Tong said coldly: "The dog that doesn't bark is the fiercest. Wen Chou suddenly seemed to lose his temper, and it seemed that all his anger was stuck in his throat. There is a feeling of being toyed with by Pang Tong.

"Wen Chou, are you expensive?"

Pang Tong suddenly asked. Wen Chou frowned when he heard this, and seemed to have entered a chaotic mode of thinking. This is not a problem that should arise in this context. But the man asked. Wen Chou said: "Lao Tzu is two years younger than Yan Liang, what's wrong?" ”

Pang Tong nodded, as if with a relieved expression.

"It's no wonder that when I came in, I yelled, I thought it was a pawn in Hebei Shuangxiong. Young and ignorant. ”

"Little rabbit cub, you are younger than Lao Tzu, you dare to tease me!"

Pang Tong said with a cold expression: "I'll make a bet with you, will you come?" ”

"Why don't you dare!"

Pang Tong applauded: "Okay." The gentleman is quick to speak. If I defeat Yuan Shao and get the land of Sanzhou, what if you submit to me? ”

Wen Chou suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think Lord Yuan is as resourceful as me? You're ridiculous! ”

Pang Tong pointed at him and said, "To bet or not to bet!" ”

"Bet!"

Pang Tong nodded and waved his hand, and said, "Hold it down, good wine and good meat for hospitality." ”

After Wen Chou was escorted away by the soldiers, Ma Yue said: "This person is arrogant, why do you keep him?" ”

Pang Tong smiled: "Wen Chou is also a loyal and righteous person, I am afraid that he will not be able to obey me." This is the only way to convince him. But I'm also betting with myself, I must take the land of three states! ”

Yan Liang stepped out and arched his hand: "My lord is so bold!" ”

Lu Su said: "Now that we have won the Black Nest, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the south have also started a big battle, and there are many casualties on both sides. Where is our army going? ”

Pang Tong laughed and said, "You are a military advisor, why do you ask me?" ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "The general's strategy is far above me, it's really unbearable." ”

Pang Tong said: "No one can dominate the world with one hand." No matter how resourceful a person is, he can't see everything, and Hugh has to look down on himself. ”

That being said, in fact, he was indeed beyond the scope of Lu Su's understanding. He waited for messages from all sides. Yuan Shao was surrounded by Cao Cao in Chenliu City. The fast horse returned to all parts of Hebei, and Puyang wanted to rescue to the south, but Wuchao was under the control of Pang Tong's army. In a dilemma, Yuan Shao's army was in danger. On the other hand, Sun Quan exerted his strength at this juncture, waving more than 200,000 troops from Jiujiang County to the north to attack Pengcheng County in Xuzhou. Cao Cao's generals led 100,000 troops from Yanzhou East County to help, and when he arrived in Pengcheng County, Huaiyin County had been occupied, and 10,000 people defended the city to resist the enemy until it was completely destroyed. Yu Ban's army was stationed in Xiapi County, on the west side of Huaiyang County. Because of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yu Ban couldn't hold it, and Xun You, a strategist with the army, asked him to stand out, and waited for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to divide the victory and defeat.
