Yuan's army was like a bamboo, and after the army crossed the Yellow River, it came towards Guandu. This journey of the Yuan army was also quite painful, and the Cao army implemented a policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, and the Yuan army did not see any people along the way.

Fortunately, Yuan Jun has enough grain and grass, and there is no need to levy too much grain and grass, otherwise Cao Jun's policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness will definitely give Yuan Jun a headache. But no matter what, Yuan Jun finally arrived at Guandu.

Cao Jun of Guandu had been waiting in Guandu for a long time, and at the beginning of the war, Zhao Fei chose the place of the decisive battle in Guandu. Therefore, the Cao military camp in Guandu was built quite strongly, and the walls of the entire camp were made of mud and wood, which was much stronger than the individual wooden walls.

After Yuan's army arrived at Guandu, they began to build a camp. Seeing such a strong camp of Cao Jun, Yuan Jun was naturally not to be outdone. They set up camp on the sand pile, about dozens of miles wide from east to west. Although it doesn't seem to be as strong as Cao's army, it is obviously stronger than the average camp.

As soon as the Yuan army began to build, someone suggested to Cao Cao that it might play an unexpected role in launching a surprise attack while the Yuan army was not firmly established. In this regard, Zhao Fei also nodded slightly, the strength of the Yuan army in the first battle, and the loss of two generals.

According to Zhao Fei's memory, two of the four court pillars in the Yuan army have now died, and one has taken refuge in Cao Jun, leaving one Gao Lan, such a Yuan army is obviously a little weak for the talented Cao Jun, so Zhao Fei did not object to this opinion.

Seeing that Zhao Fei did not object, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to drop two or three thousand soldiers to attack the camp, but the result surprised Cao's army. Cao's attack on the camp hit an iron plate, which caused heavy losses to the 3,000 soldiers of the Cao army who went to attack the camp, and even Zhang Liao was wounded by an arrow.

Although it was only an arrow on Zhang Liao's shoulder, it also surprised everyone. After all, if the arrow goes down a little further, it will not only be a matter of minor injury, it is very likely that one arrow will kill Zhang Liao.

Hearing the news, Zhao Fei was also quite shocked. Although Zhang Liao was injured and needed to rest, Zhao Fei still wanted to know what was going on. Based on Zhang Liao's experience in commanding troops, even if he really encountered an ambush by Yuan's army, it would not be possible to bring such serious casualties to Cao's army.

More than half of the 3,000 Cao troops who went to attack the camp were lost, and the rest of the Cao troops were obviously brought with them. Even if it was attacked by several times the Yuan army, the Cao army would not necessarily suffer such heavy losses, so this made Zhao Fei feel quite puzzled.

Zhao Fei came to visit him in person, and Zhang Liao felt quite moved. But thinking that he had defeated Cao Jun in his first battle, he felt very guilty in his heart, and it was a little difficult to face Zhao Fei with guilt.

Zhao Fei obviously knew what Zhang Liao was thinking, he came to Zhang Liao's front and said with a smile: "Why does Wen Yuan need to be like this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, today's defeat, next time you can win again, why do you need to be like this." ”

"The lord and the lord have high hopes for Liao, but Liao led our army to suffer heavy losses, how can Liao be worthy of the trust of the lord and the lord." Zhang Liao said with guilt. This battle was too miserable, and there were few such miserable defeats in Cao's army.

Zhao Fei laughed for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Why does Wen Yuan need to be like this, how can a momentary victory or defeat represent everything." ”

Zhang Liao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Fei, he looked at Zhang Liao and asked in a deep voice, "Can Wen Yuan tell me the specific news of the defeat?" ”

Zhang Liao frowned, this painful experience was a nightmare for himself, but since Zhao Fei wanted to know, Zhang Liao naturally wouldn't hide it. He thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I suspect that Yuan Jun knew that our army would attack by surprise, so he specially arranged for the elite to wait for our army. ”

"Yuan Jun's elite?" Zhao Fei muttered to himself, and then he thought of something, yes, there are not no elites in the Yuan army, and this elite's combat effectiveness is quite strong.

"Actually, I am not satisfied with my lord, the number of Yuan Jun's elite is not very large, but its combat effectiveness is really rare."

Zhao Fei looked at Zhang Liao when he heard this, he obviously believed in Zhang Liao very much. After all, Zhang Liao is not a person who likes to exaggerate. Then he thought of the arrow wound on Zhang Liao's body, and then asked: "Does this elite of the Yuan army use a strong crossbow?" ”

Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, his expression was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect that he hadn't said it yet, but Zhao Fei already knew that the enemy army was using a strong crossbow. Coming back to his senses, Zhang Liao nodded.

"Yesterday I led my army to attack the Yuan army, and I happened to find a Yuan army. I don't think the number of enemy troops is very large, so I think that with the elite of our army, it is not too much of a problem to eat this Yuan army, so I led the army to attack. ”

"But at this time, a Yuan army suddenly came out, armed with strong crossbows, and launched an offensive against our army. The bow and crossbow is a difficult weapon to master, so I didn't care about it. But unexpectedly, this army is quite skillful in the use of bows and crossbows, and when the crossbow is fired, some of our army will fall in response. ”

After that, they gave up their bows and crossbows and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with our army, but our army was still no match for them. Seeing that there was no chance of victory, I led my army to retreat, and at this moment, the general of the Yuan army took a crossbow and shot an arrow at me, and I hurriedly dodged, but was still shot in the shoulder by the crossbow arrow. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of sweat appeared on Zhang Liao's forehead, and it was obvious that if Zhang Liao hadn't dodged in time, then Zhao Fei would only be able to see his corpse.

Through Zhang Liao's words, Zhao Fei's thoughts were finally clear. It seems that what he thought was not wrong at all, it was none other than the first battalion led by Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi.

Lu Yi is a neglected general, and in the entire Yuan Shaojun, I am afraid that only his comprehensive ability can be counted as the first. Koji Yi was able to fight well, made many military exploits, fought with the Qiang people in Liangzhou, and led Yuan Shao's elite troops. Later, because of his high merit and arrogance, he was killed by Yuan Shao.

But seeing that he was able to make a high contribution, thus causing Yuan Shao to kill him, you can know that Lu Yi is definitely a talented general. And the first dead soldiers under his command are the elite of the Yuan army.

Historically, Ko Yi led 800 Xiandeng dead soldiers to defeat Gongsun Zhan's tens of thousands of cavalry, including the most elite white horse Yijun in Gongsun Zhan's hands. Therefore, but looking at the strong record of the first deceased, you can know that their combat effectiveness is extraordinary.

Although they are the nemesis of the light cavalry, it seems that they also have a knack for dealing with foot. Three thousand soldiers of the Cao army were killed by them, and one person turned on his horse, which made Zhao Fei have to pay attention, it seems that Yuan Jun is really full of talents, and he can no longer be so careless to underestimate the enemy.

Zhao Fei told Zhang Liao to rest, and then he left Zhang Liao's tent. As soon as he returned to his camp, someone told him that it was Cao Cao who had summoned him to discuss matters, and Zhao Fei rushed to Cao Cao's camp without stopping.

The atmosphere in the camp was a little solemn, but it was no wonder that the Cao army rarely suffered such a big defeat, so today's defeat made the Cao army suddenly quite shaken.

Seeing Zhao Fei appear, everyone focused their eyes on Zhao Fei. And Zhao Fei came to Cao Cao's face, he glanced at the people in the camp, and then bowed down to Cao Cao and said: "The defeat in this battle is all blamed on my carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and I hope that the prime minister will condemn me." ”

Cao Cao was visibly stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses. waved his hand and said loudly: "Pengju, what do you mean by this, and what does the defeat in this battle have to do with you." ”

Zhao Fei said in a deep voice: "The defeat in this battle is all due to my carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, I thought that there was no general in the Yuan army, but this Koji Yi is obviously beyond my imagination." ”

This time, Cao Cao and the others were even more stunned, obviously they were very surprised, who was the Koji Yi in Zhao Fei's mouth, and what did the defeat of Cao Jun have to do with the Koji Yi in Zhao Fei's mouth.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, Zhao Fei was slightly embarrassed. He smiled slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Lu Yi is the general under Yuan Shao, and the first dead soldier under his command is the elite of the elite of the Yuan army, and its elite degree is not much different from that of the wolf pack soldiers. ”

Only then did Cao Cao and the others know who Liyi was, and they were still puzzled by how Zhao Fei knew that it was the first deceased led by Liyi who defeated Cao's army.

Seeing everyone's still puzzled expressions, Zhao Fei really didn't know how to answer. Obviously, Koji's reputation is not very prominent. But it's no wonder that Gongsun Chan was defeated in his own hands, so Lu Yi and the first dead man naturally didn't have much opportunity to perform, and it was common sense that Cao Cao and others didn't know.

Just when Zhao Fei didn't know how to speak, Cao Cao said at this time: "Could it be that Pengju knows that Lu Yi?" ”

Cao Cao asked, Zhao Fei naturally knew what Cao Cao was thinking. Obviously, Cao Cao's love for talent has moved. Zhang Liao's ability can be imagined, and he can defeat Zhang Liao, and even defeat the 3,000 soldiers of Cao's army, which shows that this general of the Yuan army named Liyi definitely has the talent of a general.

Cao Cao thought that Zhao Fei knew so much about Koji Yi that he might have a good relationship with Koji Yi. After all, Zhao Fei had supported Yuan Shao and spent a long time in Yuan Shao's army, but Zhao Fei disappointed him. Zhao Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know Lu Yi, so I've disappointed you, Prime Minister." ”

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, then shook his head and said, "It's okay! Although Cao Cao said this, his expression showed that Cao Cao was somewhat lonely.

Cao Cao is such a person, and Zhao Fei also feels very helpless. Immediately, he threw all these out of his mind and said: "Today's defeat reminds us that even though Yuan Shao was defeated, the combat effectiveness of Yuan's army still cannot be underestimated. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, what Zhao Fei said was true, everyone thought that Yuan Jun had experienced such a big defeat and should have collapsed. But looking at the current situation, Yuan Jun is obviously not so unbearable.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's army obviously exceeded Cao's army too much, and if he was not careful, it was not certain who would win or lose, so the battle of Guandu was obviously extremely cruel. You have to be careful in everything you do, otherwise Cao Jun will obviously not be able to win.
