Pang Tong laughed, looked at Liu Feng and said, "Lord Wisdom, since we helped Yuan Shao take over Qingzhou, can we still let it out?" According to my observation, the lord can send General Gongming and General Jun Yi to go with him, and appoint Tian Feng as a military advisor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is worry-free. ”

"Xu Huang?" Liu Feng was stunned, Zhang He said that although Xu Huang was capable, he had always been low-key since he surrendered, and there had never been a war in Jizhou, so not many people knew how capable he was. How could Pang Tong think of sending him there?

Pang Tong seemed to see his doubts, and said with a faint smile: "Could it be that the Lord thinks that General Gongming can't hold the post?" ”

Liu Feng didn't think like this, shook his head and said: "I asked him to guard Yecheng at the beginning, just to believe him, how could he have such an idea, it's just, it's just ......"

Pang Tong shook his head slightly and sighed: "Among all the generals in Yecheng, I think General Gongming and General Jun Yi are the most generals, Qingzhou is very important, and it is related to my Jizhou's next plan, and I hope that the lord will be cautious." ”

Liu Feng nodded, he didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted to be curious, and when he saw Pang Tong say this, he nodded in agreement.

Pang Tong saw that Liu Feng accepted his opinion, and he was slightly excited in his heart, and continued: "As for Youzhou, your lord can send General Lu Yi and Xun Yu as a military advisor to lead the army to Zhongshan secretly. ”

Pang Tong's plan can be described as seamless, and Liu Feng listened to it with a burst of enthusiasm, but after talking for a long time, how come he didn't have any of his own affairs when he accepted the plan, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "What about me?" Where do I go? ”

Pang Tong glanced at Liu Feng, suddenly laughed, and said: "I heard that after the lord returns to Yecheng this time, he will get married, such an important thing is not easier than others, where does the lord want to go?" ”

Liu Feng saw Pang Tong making fun of himself, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he said, "This, how do you know this?" ”

Pang Tong looked at Liu Feng and said with a smile: "The marriage of the adults is the most important thing, this is related to the thousands of generations of my Jizhou, as a courtier, how can I not know?" ”

Liu Feng was speechless, thinking that someone must have revealed it, but he didn't care about it at this time, because it was a matter of time or time, and he would know if he knew.

"Well, then I'll go back and get married, but it's a pity that those generals and military advisors don't have time to witness my wedding." Especially Zhao Yun, his eldest brother can't see him, which is still a little regrettable in Liu Feng's heart.

Pang Tong didn't know what he thought, seeing that Liu Feng fully accepted his opinion, he looked at the sky, turned his head and said: "My lord can also prepare, it is estimated that in the past two days, the Guandu War will be together, and it is also time for us to quickly solve the matter of Changshan and rush back to Yecheng." ”

Liu Feng nodded at him, suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something, and said to Pang Tong: "Military division, the Changshan garrison is only 50,000, and my eldest brother will take them all out, so who will garrison them?" ”

Pang Tong smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "Zhang Yan! ”

Zhang Yan? Liu Feng was shocked in his heart, it was Zhang Yan who appeared in Changshan this time? As soon as he surrendered, let him lead his army to guard Changshan, I don't know if Pang Tong is too confident, or too confident in Zhang Yan's loyalty, Liu Feng sighed, but this is also equivalent to a touchstone, I just don't know if the result is acceptable to Jizhou, I think Pang Tong must be prepared, thinking about this, Liu Feng is not very worried......

In 193, Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu and forced Lü Bu to lead the remnants and defect to Xuzhou. Then he used the infighting of the Zhang Yang Department to obtain Hanoi County. From then on, Cao Cao's forces reached Guanzhong in the west, Yan and Henan in the east, and controlled most areas south of the Yellow River and north of Huai and Han, thus forming a north-south confrontation with Yuan Shao along the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Yuan Shao's army was far superior to Cao Cao at that time, and he was naturally unwilling to submit to Cao Cao, and he was determined to fight Cao Cao.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, that is, in the following year, in 194 AD, at the beginning of March, Yuan Shao selected 700,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 war horses to attempt to attack Xuchang in the south, and the prelude to the Battle of Guandu began.

When the news of Yuan Shao's army moving south reached Xuchang, Cao Cao's generals thought that Yuan's army was strong and invincible. However, Cao Cao, based on his understanding of Yuan Shao, believed that Yuan Shaozhi was talented, lacked courage, was mean and unkind, rigid and self-serving, had many soldiers and unclear command, and was arrogant and inconsistent in government orders.

So it was decided to use the 100,000 troops he could concentrate to resist Yuan Shao's attack. In order to gain the strategic initiative, he made the following arrangements: send Zang Ba to lead elite troops from Langyu to attack Qingzhou, occupy Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places at a critical moment, contain Yuan Shao, consolidate the right flank, and prevent Yuan's army from attacking Xuchang from the east;

Cao Cao led his troops to Liyang, Qingzhou (here Liyang belongs to Qingzhou, which is inconsistent with history, and there is no need to be more true), and ordered Yu Ban to lead 2,000 foot cavalry to guard Yanjin, an important ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River, to assist Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, who was guarding Baima, to prevent Yuan's army from crossing the river and driving south;

At the same time, the main force was used to build a fortress in the area of Guandu to block Yuan Shao's attack from the front; Send people to pacify Guanzhong and win over Liangzhou to stabilize the flanks. Judging from the above deployment, the strategic policy adopted by Cao Cao was not to divide troops to guard the south bank of the Yellow River, but to concentrate troops and hold key passes.

Focus on fortification, wait for work at leisure, and strike later. In the circumstances, such a deployment was appropriate. First of all, Yuan Shao had many troops and Cao Cao had few soldiers, and the Yellow River could be crossed in many places for thousands of miles.

Secondly, Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui. The chasm canal connects Hujiao, Gong and Luoyao Pass in the west, and goes down to Huaisi in the east, which is the barrier of Xuchang in the north and east, and is the important and contentious place for Yuan Shao to seize Xuchang. In addition, Guandu is close to Xuchang, and the logistics supply is also more convenient than Yuan's army.

Jian'an for four years. In 194 AD, in mid-April, when Cao Cao was deploying to fight against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei raised troops against Cao, occupied Xiapi, and occupied Pei County. Liu's army increased to tens of thousands, and contacted Yuan Shao, intending to join forces to attack Cao.

In order to maintain the connection between Xuchang and Qing and Yan Prefectures and avoid fighting on both sides, Cao Cao personally led his elite troops to attack Liu Bei in the east at the end of April, quickly occupied Pei County, and then attacked Xiapi and forced Guan Yu to land. Liu Bei's entire army was defeated and fled to Xuzhou with the remnants to join Tao Qian. In history, Liu Bei first defected to Yuan Shao, and then went to Xuzhou, but he didn't expect to defect to Tao Qian first this time.

The so-called different paths lead to the same end, Liu Bei and Lu Bu, the two enemies, have always met Xuzhou again. (To be continued.) )
