Chapter Forty-Seven: The Wolf Enters the Tiger's Mouth, and the Guandu Confrontation (I)
The above book said that Huangfu Song led 20,000 elite soldiers to Guandu, which made Zhang Bao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves who besieged Guandu, very anxious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this moment, Zhang Bao's military advisor Bocai gave him advice, first proposed a strategy to capture the thief and capture the king, Zhang Bao thought it was too risky, and hesitated, and asked Zhang Bao to open up the encirclement, put Huangfu Song's soldiers and horses into the city, and set up a strategy to enter the tiger's mouth.
It's just that this wave is proud of his talents, and he has never put Zhang Bao in his eyes. Therefore, when planning two countermeasures, he didn't provide any advice on how to choose Zhang Bao, that is, Lao Tzu gave you the idea, and how to choose is your business. looks like he doesn't care about it, which makes his boss very unpleasant.
Zhang Bao thought about it again and again, and finally came down and let Huangfu Song's troops enter Guandu. However, even if he only had 60,000 people in his hands, if he still besieged Guandu, it seemed that he could no longer pose a threat to the enemy. He did not completely take the same countermeasures as his eldest brother Zhang Jiao, and directly withdrew the men and horses in that direction, and deployed his soldiers and horses in a unified manner, deploying three large battalions in the shape of inverted characters, forming an angle to each other. After Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses entered the city, he asked General Zhongmu to solemnly raise 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command to block the pass, and the second encirclement was formed again.
From the perspective of military deployment, this Zhang Bao is still a little smarter than the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao. It is said that this Zhang Bao also participated in the township martial arts test, and it is not as bad as Bo Cai thinks. It's just that it's a little worse than people like Bocai.
Of course, when he deployed his troops and horses, it really made Na Bocai and Huang Shao's eyes shine. After making trouble for a long time, this guy with a beard is not as stupid as he seems!
Besides, Huangfu Song led 20,000 elite soldiers to approach in the direction of Guandu. According to the news from Tanma, Guandu has been besieged for more than a month. Huangfu Song was very anxious, and eliminated many small groups of gangsters along the way, causing the trip to be delayed.
There are still more than 20 miles away from Guandu, and the front is to explore the Malay newspaper.
"Report to the general, the Yellow Turban thief in front has somehow withdrawn!"
"What? The Yellow Turban thieves besieging Guandu have withdrawn? When Huangfu Song heard this, he didn't expect it in his heart, "Could it be that the thieves learned that we were coming, and they retreated because they thought they were inferior?" ”
"General, don't think too much! Why don't I wait and rush to Guandu now, and meet with the city guards in the city to discuss separately! A man dressed as a Confucian behind Huangfu Song said.
"It's good!" Although Huangfu Song has experienced a hundred battles, he naturally knows the strength of the enemy and us here, and now the Yellow Turban Thief Kou's more than 60,000 soldiers and horses are afraid to have a great advantage against his 20,000 elite soldiers. It's just that it's not clear how many people are available in Guandu City. However, judging from the retreat of the enemy army, there were at least more than 10,000 defenders in the city. So it doesn't hurt to go into the city.
In the city, Cao Cao learned that the Yellow Turban thieves had withdrawn, and he climbed the tower to take a look under the leadership of the guards. He didn't figure out what was going on. However, when he saw the fluttering flags in the distance, he was immediately relieved: it seems that the rescue has arrived, and there are really capable people in these yellow turban thieves! Looks like this battle is not good!
Cao Cao saw that the Yellow Turban Thief had withdrawn to the other three directions, and he also widened the distance between them. When Huangfu Song and other soldiers and horses came to the city, Cao Cao and the officials in the city went out of the city to meet them and introduce the army into the city. The tension of many days was swept away after the arrival of Huangfu Song's army. The food shortage, which had been in short supply for many days, was replenished after the arrival of the rescue army. In the evening, Cao Cao and others held a banquet and Huangfu Song and others forgot that the Yellow Turban thieves did not completely retreat at this time, but only retreated for a few miles.
There is a good saying, it is called happiness and sorrow. It is to warn us to keep a normal heart at all times. With this ordinary mind, he observes the dynamics of the changes in the things around him, analyzes their trends, and judges his results. Don't let the momentary pride in front of you ignore the possibility of him going in a very unfavorable direction. As soon as he is concerned only with immediate success, regardless of the possibility of him going in a very unfavorable direction, then the development of events will certainly go in an unfavorable direction. This is called happiness and sorrow.
That night, Cao Cao, Huangfu Song and others really had a hearty meal. When it was three poles on the second day, the guards guarding the city hurriedly ran to Cao Cao's mansion to report that Guandu City was once again surrounded by yellow turban thieves, and the enemy's strength seemed to have increased.
This Cao Cao was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly found Huangfu Song to discuss countermeasures.
The encirclement that was just opened yesterday closed again, how should Cao Cao and Huangfu Song respond?
