Chapter 488: Yecheng must not be lost

The whole army retreats!

This was Cao Cao's only choice. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

Whether it is in terms of troops, or physically and mentally, it is not the opponent of the Qin army at this moment.

Cao Cao cried, and felt that Zhang Liao was too cunning, and there was no good person among the generals from the Qin Ye faction.

Liu Bei and Lu Bu were even more crazy.

Comparatively speaking, the two of them suffered the most. They were also basking in the thrill of a surge in troops. Click, in the blink of an eye, it was beaten back to its original shape.

This gap is simply too big, if it is not so cruel, we can't accept it at all.

Cao Bao's face is also very ugly, although the loss of **1,000 people is acceptable to Tao Qianjun, but it is bound to be held accountable by Tao Qian. But he had already thought about it, so he pushed it on Cao Cao and let Cao Cao take the blame.

It's the short and dark prince in front of him, what he says is right to listen to him, and his eyes are bright.

Cao Bao felt that it was too bright and blind.

"Zhang Liao, the real tiger general is also ......." Although Cao Cao hated it to the core, he also had to admit Zhang Liao's ability head-on. Perhaps, this is the reason why he is different from Tao Qian and other princes.

After Cao Cao's defeat, he always learned his lesson.

This time it was a complete defeat to Zhang Liao, but fortunately, Zhang Liao did not catch up.

Cao Cao and the others returned with a few remnants of the army.

After walking for a while, a fine work came on the road.

After seeing Cao Cao and them, Xizuo immediately unfurled the banner of Cao Jun and stuck it on the back of his neck, indicating that he was Cao Jun's Xiaozuo. Everyone is your own person, and don't let go of your arrows.

Seeing that Cao Cao had no soldiers around them, maybe it was to escort the people away, Xizuo came to Cao Cao's horse, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said excitedly: "Lord, I also found a cluster of people." There are 50,000 or 60,000 people, more than in the previous wave. ”

He was very happy and thought that he would definitely be able to make a contribution to it.

But they found that Cao Cao was worried. He couldn't help but muttered in his heart, is it too much to eat? Isn't more the merrier?

Cao Cao and they were already crying in their hearts, and now when they heard the two words of the people, they trembled, and when they heard the two words of cluster, their hearts were shocked. Who knows if the people this time are also faked by the Qin army.

In this case, who would dare to fight the people's ideas?

Therefore, because Zhang Liao attacked the coalition army head-on, this made the coalition army no longer dare to hit the people.

When the news came, the people were excited, and they could finally retreat calmly.

And Zhang Liao, the first war shocked Qingzhou. When people all over the world heard about this achievement, they all stretched out their thumbs. A general who fights for the people is worthy of admiration.

On the other hand.

off the kettle.

Yuan Shao used this as the direction of the army. It's too close to Yecheng, just over 300 miles. Yuan Shao believed that with his current military superiority, it would be easy to smash Huanglong. At that time, the other princes in the Qin alliance were divided into Qingzhou at most.

Jizhou Youzhou, all of them belong to him Yuan Shao.

This maximizes vested interests in the alliance.

Therefore, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to go out of the pot.

After he mentioned that the 150,000 troops were out of Huguan, he got the news that Qin Ye's 30,000 soldiers and horses had arrived at the 'Huangjiaoyi'. According to the secret agent's report, the Qin army built a fortress in Huangjiaoyi. It looks like this is an important line of defense here.

It is recorded in the book of the Book of Water in later generations that Zhangshui east to the south of Wu'an County 'Huangjiaoyi' and enters the turbidity of Zhang.

Zhangshui is in the upper reaches, divided into South Zhangzhang and North Zhang, and after arriving at Huangjiaoyi, the two are combined into one.

It is located in the southwest of Quang Binh County, about 200 miles away from Yecheng, and is located behind the triangle formed by three water veins.

Yuan Jun went up and down, secretly smacking his tongue at Qin Ye's reaction speed. It seems that the rise of this young prince is no fluke. Past records, that is also a real one.

"Qin Ye chose a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." In the big tent in the army, Tian Feng touched his mustache and commented.

Yuan Shao looked at the Wenwu group under his command and asked, "Qin Ye is stationed in Huangjiaoyi, and he intends to resist stubbornly. How do you think our army should march? ”

Guo Tu walked out, "Lord, the strength of our army is five times that of the Qin army. At this moment, it is the time to break through the thousands of troops, and we must not hesitate to raise troops to attack Huangjiaoyi in search of a good opportunity for a decisive battle with the enemy. ”

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, he also thought so. After all, the enemy only has 30,000 troops, and now they are all in Huangjiaoyi. It can be said that apart from this place, there is no source of troops that can threaten Yuan's army at all. In this case, it is naturally the most beneficial for Yuan Jun to decide the outcome of the first battle.

However, there are those who disagree with this strategy. Tian Feng walked out, "Lord, Qin Ye has a remarkable record, and he is determined to win more with less. This time, he stationed troops in Huangjiaoyi, obviously he knew that he could not let our army surround Yecheng, so he raised troops to make an obstacle outside. Huangjiaoyi has geographical advantages, which is quite difficult to deal with, and must not be rash. ”

Yuan Shao knew that Tian Feng was an upright person who spoke directly. But you must know that his strength is five times that of Qin Ye, and five times the strength of the army does not dare to attack the enemy, so what a fart?

"It's not going to be harder than attacking Yecheng, right?"

"This ......." Tian Feng said bluntly: "Yecheng can't move, if the enemy defends the city, it will be easy to control. ”

Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied, and said unhappily: "According to what you say, then you can't defeat Qin Ye?" ”

"No, no, no." Tian Feng said his strategic idea, "Why don't you divide the army into three ways." The north and south are sandwiched between Yecheng. After all, Qin Ye is just a person, and there is nothing else to fear. Moreover, our army is 150,000 and Qin Ye is 30,000. After he divided his army, there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses on each side. Fifty thousand versus ten thousand, it's different again. ”

After hearing this strategic idea, Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, and then thought deeply, "It's better than Yuan Hao's strategy." ”

Guo Tu was tired of it in his heart, but he just didn't show it, and he gave Tian Feng a salute.

Tian Feng hurriedly returned the salute, not knowing at all that Guo Tu wanted to strangle himself.

As a result, Tian Feng's suggestion was supported.

Yuan Shao began to divide his troops into three routes.

Yuan Shao personally led the mid-lane cluster.

"Who wants to lead the way south?"

Fu Zhu and Wen Chou stood up.

"Lord, I wish to go all the way north and share my worries for the lord." Xu You took the initiative to stand up. This is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he can't eat his old book anymore. You still need to show your ability to continue to occupy a good position.

Guo Tufeng Jidu came out, hoping to take the northern road.

Yuan Shao took care of Fa Xiao Xu You, so he let Xu You and Yan Liang go all the way to the north.

The news that Yuan's soldiers were divided into three ways reached the Qin army camp in Huangjiaoyi the next day.

After getting this news, Qin Ye was forced to feel that Yuan Shao was too bad.

You must know that Qin Ye has the Supreme Eye, and he will definitely not offend Yuan Shao's 150,000 army.

But at this moment, Yuan Shao divided his troops, and Qin Ye didn't have the ability to split himself into three parts.

Qin Ye looked at the only strategist beside him, "Kong Ming, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly shook the feather fan, "The enemy deceived me with few soldiers, so I divided the troops." If you don't divide your troops to deal with it, in a few days, I am afraid that the enemy army will be on the edge of Yecheng. The enemy must not be allowed to ...... in Yecheng. ”

In fact, Zhuge Liang was stubborn in mentioning the matter of dividing troops to meet the enemy. After all, Qin Ye was in the entire Jizhou, and even Youzhou, with the 30,000 soldiers and horses in front of him. Now you can't defend Yecheng, if you defend the city, the enemy can completely surround Yecheng with superior forces, and then divide the troops to take other places in Youzhou, Jizhou.

The Qin army had no troops to resist.

Therefore, the Qin army must be in the field, and if it is in the field, it can threaten the enemy.

But can it really threaten the enemy?

In the face of the Yuan army after the division of troops, Qin Ye's victory rate was infinitely close to zero.

But Qin Ye had no other way but to divide his troops.

Qin Ye had already thought about it, if he couldn't stop the enemy soldiers from approaching the city, it would be a big deal like the Zhao State during the Warring States Period, defending Yecheng. He firmly believed that with the support of the people, he would never be destroyed like this.

"Kong Ming, you immediately send a message to Gongda in Yecheng and ask him to mobilize materials as much as possible and stock them up in Yecheng. In the summons to the counties, let them form as many ......volunteers as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang cried, it seemed that the lord was also ready to lose a large area of territory. But Yecheng must not be lost.
