825. Yuan Shao's internal problems
In mid-October 199 AD, Zhu Wei reorganized his army in Puyang City to cross the Yellow River, and then went to Yizhou to start the ultimate battle against Yuan Shao in Yecheng.
At the same time, in Zhu Wei's military order to Huang Zhong, once Huang Zhong seized the entire territory of Qingzhou, he could naturally contact Cai Mao's naval army that was already in the north and Zhang Xiu's and Zhang Liao's Huyi battalion cavalry that had already moved to Yizhou Hejian County and Bohai County, so as to continue to attack Nanpi, an important town in Bohai County, to the north, and then cooperate with Zhu Wei's main force to capture more Yizhou land in the west.
It can be said that Zhu Wei's conquest of Yuan Shao, the last great warlord of the present day, has finally kicked off, which can be regarded as the last step of Zhu Wei's unification of the world.
Of course, although Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng at this time, had been attacked and harassed by Zhu Weisi's troops, he still gathered nearly 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of young and strong civilians in Yecheng, and Yuan Shao's army still had a foundation that was not inferior to Zhu Wei's army in this battle.
However, at this time, Yuan Shao still had a secret war like a competition for favor, which made Yuan Shao lose an important arm talent again.
Before Zhu Wei sent his troops, Yuan Shao on Yecheng's side naturally gathered civil and military forces to discuss the war arrangements for dealing with Zhu Wei.
Although Yuan Shao defeated the Southern Huns in Zhao before, he helped Yuan Shao's army save some morale, but he was soon defeated by Gao Lan, Guo Tu, and Jiang Qi in Dunqiu County, and the news of the annihilation of the whole army also came back, which made Yuan Shao's mood fall into a trough.
But it was impossible for Yuan Shao to send troops to support Cao Cao's Puyang City again, and even Fu Zhu, who had previously supported sending troops to support, was also taught a lesson by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao thought that it was because of Fu Zhu's suggestion that he would lose another 30,000 troops in vain.
Originally, Yuan Shao felt that his family was harassed by Zhu Weijun's cavalry, and he just wanted to solve the problem at home first, and then lead the army to counterattack Zhu Weijun.
However, Yuan Shao never thought that he would eventually have the opportunity to lead the army to counterattack or something, and he didn't expect that it was the loss of 30,000 troops this time, in fact, it was because he was stingy that he only sent 30,000 troops to support Cao Cao, so that Zhu Wei could easily eat it.
If he personally led more than 100,000 troops to support Cao Cao in Puyang this time, it is estimated that Zhu Wei would not be able to easily encircle and send reinforcements to eliminate Yuan Shao's reinforcements.
In fact, if Yuan Shao can really lead the army to Puyang this time, maybe Yuan Shao will finally be able to unite Cao Cao to form a threatening offensive against Zhu Wei, but I am afraid that Zhu Wei will have to withdraw the encirclement of Puyang City, so as to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao on the side of Puyang.
In the end, whether Zhu Wei can win or not depends on two things.
However, Yuan Shao only sent a mere 30,000 people to deal with the matter, and naturally it became a waste of sending meat to Zhu Wei, but Yuan Shao would never think that he was wrong, he just blamed the strategy suggested by Fu Zhi for sending troops, so that he lost his troops again.
As a result, after listening to Yuan Shao's blame, he felt a kind of chagrin like eating a fly.
At the same time, such as Feng Ji and Xu You, who belonged to the political enemies of Frustration, in order to clear up the matter of Guo Tu's surrender to Zhu Wei, deliberately secretly played a black hand around Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao.
Guo Tu and Gao Ran were ambushed by Zhu Wei and lost soldiers, maybe someone sent a message to Zhu Weijun.
Although Feng Ji and Xu Yu are completely malicious nonsense, what they say in their words is also very reasonable, for example, Gao Ran and Guo Tu's troops are completely secretive marches, and it can be said that it is difficult for outsiders to know their marching route except for them to report to Yuan Shao's high-level officials.
However, now according to the military situation ahead, Gao Ran and Guo Tu led the troops completely into the trap that Zhu Weijun had already ambushed, so if no one reported to Zhu Weijun, then how did Zhu Weijun know Yuan Shaojun's whereabouts?
At this time, they deliberately mentioned the two defeats before the Tiger Prison Pass, the first time Wen Chou died, the second time he lost Zhang He's old things, plus the current fall of Gao Ran and Guo Tu, this is clearly someone deliberately weakening Yuan Shao's strength in secret.
So who will do this, and who can do this, seems to be very doubtful.
Of course, Feng Ji and Xu Yu were all smearing Yuan Shao behind their backs, and Fu Zhi didn't know about their insidious and dirty things, so naturally they couldn't refute themselves at the first time.
And Yuan Shao is good at conspiracy and politics, and those who are good at water are often prone to drowning, and now Yuan Shao is naturally a little suspicious, could it be that this frustration is really playing Infernal Affairs and wants to use this method to avenge Han Fu?
In this way, there was a pimple in Yuan Shao's heart, and then when the military discussion was discussed, Yuan Shao also deliberately asked some strange questions, such as the handling of Tian Feng.
Just like the original battle of Guandu in history, Yuan Shao was defeated and returned, but because of the face problem, he was afraid of being ridiculed by Tian Feng, and killed Tian Feng who originally advised him, and now Yuan Shao also because of the many problems that broke out after the withdrawal, Tian Feng was still imprisoned and not released, Yuan Shao was also afraid that Tian Feng came out and said, look, look, everything was said by me, now you can only wait for death.
After all, Ke Tianfeng is also a famous person in Hebei, and he is a very talented person, so it is not good to always be imprisoned and not given an explanation, and he must always be arranged.
And Tian Feng's relationship with Fu Zhu is indeed good, so when Feng Ji and Xu Yu smeared Fu Zhu, they also said that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are the same party, and they are both people who have Han Fu in their hearts, and Fu Zhu will definitely find a way to let Yuan Shao let Tian Feng go.
In this way, Yuan Shao deliberately asked Frustrated during the discussion, how should Tian Feng deal with it, Tian Feng cursed Yuan Shao so much before, does Yuan Shao still believe Tian Feng.
Fu Zhu didn't expect anything, so naturally he said some good things for his good friend Tian Feng, but when Yuan Shao heard it, he was even more suspicious of Fu Zhu's intentions, so in the next military arrangements, he took down a lot of real power from Fu Zhu.
Yuan Shao now naturally has to guard against the invasion of Zhu Wei's army, as Tian Feng said at the beginning, now that the offensive and defensive trends of the two sides have changed, Zhu Wei has already occupied the general trend of the world, but Yuan Shao can only take one place, waiting to be requisitioned by Zhu Wei.
But Yuan Shao still felt that his subordinates still had enough soldiers, and he might not be at a disadvantage.
And although Zhu Wei now besieged Cao Cao to death in Puyang City, when Cao Cao came to ask for help, he also expressed the intention of defending Puyang to consume Zhu Wei's military strength.
So the current situation, although Cao Cao gave up a lot of territory, but concentrated all his forces in Puyang City, if Cao Cao can really use Puyang City to defend stubbornly, maybe it can still be like Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu Yu They analyzed before, Zhu Wei and Cao Cao will be defeated in Puyang City.
And he, Yuan Shao, was finally able to take advantage of the fisherman......
