Chapter 42: The Battle of Guandu: The Hidden Danger of Yuan's Army
Wen Chou led the army to attack Chen Liu, and tried to match with 20,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Guandu.
After Wen Chou led the army out of the official crossing, the trial seemed a little worried, and he always felt that something bad would happen......
For example, Wen Chou was defeated......
The judge's eyelids jumped, shook his head and put his bad premonition behind, got up and walked outside, it seemed that the bright sun would make him feel better.
Last night, tossing and turning on the couch until midnight, the trial has been pondering carefully, whether it will be successful or not......
It stands to reason that even if Cao's army did not mutiny, his 40,000 soldiers and armor had no morale, and he was obviously not the time of Wen Chou's 60,000 army
However, the unpredictable situation of the battle made the trial dare not assert that Cao Cao would be defeated because of this.
But if Wen Chou really succeeds in the first battle, then
Wing State. Youzhou. and state. Qingzhou Xuzhou. The lord of Yaozhou and Yuzhou can sit on the land of seven states, and who else in the world can balance with the lord.
Liangzhou Zhang Bai rides. Jingzhou Liu Biao. Jiangdong Sun Ce. Yizhou Liu Barrier. Or now there is only Yuan Shu in Shouchun County.
Big things can be expected
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but show a little smile on his face, and slowly climbed the walled building.
Not. ”
Suddenly, the smile on the judge's face froze.
Is that
Grabbing the wooden fence, he almost leaned out half of his body, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that there were faintly many soldiers in the distance and stumbled towards the Guandu camp
This is
Could it be a rout. Juan Ku chuckled in his heart.
staring intently at the trial match that had no formation to speak of, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Could it be that Wen Chou was defeated.
What department do you belong to? General Yuan, who was on the camp, obviously also saw the soldier and shouted.
But the next moment if you don't answer, it seems to be irrelevant.
Because a flag has slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone in the Guandu camp, the banner seems to have been burned by fire, and it is stained with blood, which makes the words on it extremely difficult to provoke.
But the judge still recognized that the flag was written on the general's text
It turned out to be true
The judge froze.
The military advisor "opened the camp, and General Yuan, who went to ask questions, came back, looked at the stunned judge, lowered his head and clenched his fists, and hesitated to say that General Wen died in battle, and General Wen of the army was killed."
Alas, the sin of the war is mine
Strategist"
The Battle of Chenliu was the first victory of the Cao army after the Battle of Yanjin, and the victory was calculated by heart and unintentional, not because of a profound strategy, but by God.
Who would have thought that after Cao Jun's mutiny, his morale was not only undiminished, but also his fighting spirit was high.
woke up from a coma, and the first moment he supported his body, he wrote a handwritten letter to report the matter to his lord, even Yuan Shao, who was in the black nest.
The main general died in battle, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the army, but at this moment, the trial and match can't take care of much, in his thoughts, Cao Jun broke the ugly article, then the next step is naturally to regain the official crossing.
Guandu is a heavy land, and it is absolutely impossible to lose
With a stroke of the pen, the book was exhausted, and then the trial was made, and the letter was sent to Wuchao to wait for Yuan Shao's ruling.
I knew that this was the case, so it was better to go south to take Zhongmu and then attack Xudu
Not to mention that the trial was in Guandu, because of worries, but it was said that Wuchao Yuan Ying.
Because the grain and grass hoarded in Yanjin was burned by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is now also difficult to ride a tiger.
There are still one or two days before the grain and grass in Bingzhou can arrive, and in the last few days, nearly 100,000 soldiers of the army have almost slaughtered horses to fill their hunger, looking at the war horses from Wuhuan being slaughtered one by one, Yuan Shao's heart is as painful as a knife.
But trouble came one after another.
First of all, because Yuan Shaojun ran off food, he had no choice but to slaughter war horses as grain, and 80,000 Wuhuan cavalry were now left.
As we all know, the strength of the nomads is reflected in the war horses, and those Wuhuan cavalry who lost the war horses are probably not as good as the infantry under Yuan Shao's command.
For this reason, Yuan Shao can only ask people to persuade him, no matter what, he has endured these two days first.
Secondly, the war in Qingzhou also gave Yuan Shao a headache.
He never thought that Cao Cao would have such courage and ambition, fighting with himself in the Yellow River on the one hand, and making people raid Qingzhou on the other.
When Yuan Shao got his eldest son Feiqingzhou Assassin Yuan Tan was in a hurry, the general of the Cao Army, Xiahou was afraid of Taishan County, Cheng Zang, the Tyrant of Xuzhou, Chen Denglianke, Jinan Feili City, and now Zhangqiu is also in danger, if Zhangqiu is broken, then Mount Tai will completely fall into the hands of Cao Jun, and it is probably not far away to break the capital of Qingzhou.
Once again, Liu Pei, the assassin of the state, also sent an urgent report a few days ago, saying that the Yellow Turban of Montenegro in the territory of the state had revived, gathered 10,000 people, and took advantage of the fact that Yuan Shao's army was fighting with Cao Cao, and the army was empty in the Yellow River and the state, and the troops were in chaos in all directions, and in just about ten days, two counties were caught in the flames of war.
Now Yuan Shao finally understands what it means to be blessed and unequaled, and he has not eased up his joy after his defeat, Cao Mengde has not eased up, but there is a series of bad news waiting for him.
In addition to the matter of grain and grass, the military disaster in Qingzhou and the rebellion in the state, Yuan Shao had this fundraising, and thought about whether to send troops to help, of course, Yuan Shao personally preferred to send troops.
After collecting the opinions of the advisers under the account, Yuan Shao was shocked to find that the advisers under the account were also frustrated Guo Tu. Pang Tong didn't expect them to unanimously discourage the sending of troops.
When Yuan Shao's incomprehension Pang Tong gave an explanation.
First of all, since Zhang Yan, the lord of the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, who was in turmoil in the state, dared to provoke the lord tiger at this time, it is not difficult to imagine that he must be fully prepared, even if the lord sends troops to go for a while, he can't help him."
Hmm, although Yuan Shao said that he was unswerving, Pang Tong said that he couldn't help Zhang Yan for a while, but after thinking about it, he could only acquiesce.
At the beginning, he started 100,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress Zhang Yan, and more than 10,000 people in the district were still unable to eradicate Zhang Yan and other Montenegrin yellow turbans for more than a year, and there would be such a traitor in the past, but with the passage of time, this gang of thieves is like an iron plate, making people unable to start, I have to say that Zhang Yan does have this ability.
Seeing Yuan Shao's acquiescence, Pang Tong continued: At present, Cao Cao's defeat is imminent, but the lord has not yet seen Cao Mengde's fall from the horse, so the heart of contempt must not rise, Cao Jun is brave and martial, the lord has already seen the battle of Yanjin, and the 80,000 Cao soldiers dare to attack me, and the advantage of more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, the lord and I have many soldiers and horses
However, if the lord divides the troops at this moment, then the advantage of our army will no longer exist, and the state will divide 50,000 soldiers, and Qingzhou will divide 50,000, and we will only have fifteen. 60,000 soldiers and horses and look at Yao. The Cao soldiers left behind in Yuxu Prefecture are integrated into a few, and there are still 100,000 deer dead who can be known at the end of the afternoon
Xiahoudun's attack on Qingzhou is actually based on the following opinion, there is no need to send troops at all, Cao Junqi is heavy, Cao Mengde is dead, and the building will fall, who can stop it. Cao Jun only has the defeat of the lord, if he sends troops to Qingzhou, it will put the cart before the horse."
What the Lord Commander said was very much seconded," said the Lord.
was awarded by the group, Guo Tu was dissatisfied, looked at it, and said that he also seconded it."
Well, the matter of Qingzhou is left alone for the time being, but," frowned, Yuan Shao was still a little unwilling, hateful, and said Zhang Yan, while I was not there, it was really hateful to mess with my rear, and Qingzhou would not send troops. Watching this guy"
The lord is so unclear," Pang Tong snorted and said in a low voice, Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, and how can the thief succeed. Even if he is asked to seize the great state. Most of Zhang Yan's subordinates are reckless, they don't know the art of war, they don't know strategy, and they look down like grass mustard, but at the moment, we have no time to wait, he Gu Cao Mengde is the lord and the first enemy, there are countless elite soldiers, fierce generals, good strategies and wise men, Jiang Zhefei Xun Yu. Xun Yu. Guo Jia. Cheng Yu. Li Xian is full of favorites, all of them are capable of governing the country, Zhang Yan is not enough, and Cao Mengde is a bad disease, which must be eliminated."
Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, nodded slowly, and muttered, Indeed, Cao Mengde is my first enemy, Zhang Yan is not enough to worry about it, so I will ask him to make trouble in Bingzhou, and wait for me to free my hands in the future, hum" Saying that, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Pang Tong, raised his hand and said, Shiwu, I always feel that this is inappropriate."
Which one. Pang Tong was stunned, and then said thoughtfully, the lord said that the lord was talking about Xu Du."
Ah," Yuan Shao nodded, got up, paced in the tent, and said in his mouth, Shiwu's plan is a good plan, but if Shiwu wants to rely on it, then this person will succeed, hehe, I'm afraid Shiwu will be disappointed."
I didn't say that I had to rely on those adults in Xu Du to make things happen," seemed to see through Yuan Shao's thoughts, Pang Tong laughed and said, The raid on Xu Du was just a plan, and Cao Mengde had no intention of guarding Chen Liu, at this moment, the morale of the Cao army plummeted, Cao Cao left, how could the Chen soldiers stay in front of us. After crossing the second Yellow River, Yaozhou will be in the hands of the lord, and the next plan is just to ask Cao Cao to run back and forth, which is the advantage of the lord's soldiers."
Oh, I see," Yuan Shao suddenly realized, stroked his palm, and said with a smile, Shi Wu didn't say, I really thought you were going to raid Xu Du."
Heh, "Looking at Yuan Shao, he smiled slightly, Pang Tong said playfully, there is still one person in Xudu, I don't know the truth, I don't dare to be so dangerous."
Ah" Yuan Shao had this embarrassment on his face.
According to what he thought, it was natural that the less he would meet Jiang Zhe, the better, it was best that Jiang Zhe was still in Xudu, and Cao Cao had been defeated here, so on the day when the troops came to Xudu, Yuan Shao personally persuaded him to surrender under the city gate
Jiang Zhe is the commander, Pang Tong is the military advisor, and he wields millions of troops to sweep the world, who can stop him.
Lord. ”
Not. Yuan Shao subconsciously turned his head and looked at Pang Tong for some reason.
Shaking his head secretly, Pang Tong sighed in his heart, my lord, your great enemy is Cao Mengde, and my great enemy is that Jiang Zhe, alas
Suddenly, there was a notice from outside the tent.
Come in," Yuan Shao greeted lightly, turned around and sat back on the main seat.
I saw a Yuan soldier hurriedly holding a letter in his hand, knocking on the ground, and the lord of the Taoist court tried the military division to send a small letter to the lord."
Judge Division. South. Yuan Shao was stunned, and secretly said in his heart, didn't the good news of the capture of Guandu arrive a few days ago
Take it and show me."
Guo Tu stepped forward, took the battle report from Yuan Bing's hand, and turned around to present it to Yuan Shao.
Written by due south. "Looking at the signature on the war report, Yuan Shao wondered, tore open the seal, took out the letter inside, and took a rough look, but this look made his eyes wider, and he shouted angrily, how can this be reasonable?"
Not. Seeing that Yuan Shao was furious, Pang Tong was surprised and puzzled, and asked the lord what was the matter.
He only grabbed those few pieces of paper, his face was deep and hateful, and said that Wen Chou attacked Chen Liuzhong and died, his army was defeated, ten losses, six or seven, damn it."
What the. "Don't talk about frustration. Guo Tu and the others, even if Pang Tong heard this, they whispered and said urgently, how could it be Chen Liu. Could it be that the army did not go to Zhongmu. ”
Ah," Yuan Shao nodded, got up, handed the letter in his hand to Pang Tong, paced back and forth in the tent, and said with hatred in his mouth, seeing that Cao Mengde was about to be defeated and killed, what were these two doing. ”
Frustrated, Guo Tu, Fei, and Pang gathered together, frowned, and read the letter with a worried face.
Originally, Cao Cao was defeated in Yanjin, and Cao's army was greatly reduced, which was a good time to go south, but at this critical time, Guandu was defeated for a while, not only the main general Wen Chou was killed, but also more than 10,000 soldiers, if the Cao army was asked to regain the fighting spirit, then I am afraid that there will be a hard battle in the future
This matter is so strange, "In Yuan Shao's angry and low scolding, he pointed to the letter in his hand and said suspiciously, Zhengnan said in the letter, Cao Ying's voice of fighting was suspected to be a mutiny, so we had the courage to temporarily change the strategy, and then mistakenly fell into the ambush of the Cao army, and in the view of the next, the Cao army was newly defeated, even if it was a plan, I am afraid that it would not use this fake as a mutiny plan, and the morale of the army was already low, in case the fake came true, not only did he laugh and be generous, but he also sent the fighter plane to us in vain."
What the group adults said was extremely true," Pang Tong nodded and agreed, and said that the lord is also like this, and he wants to judge the adults like this, if he wants to deceive the eyes and ears of the judges, I am afraid it will not be easy, and now Cao Jun's military division is only Guo Fengxiao, and now there is only Guo Fengxiao under Cao Cao's account, I think this person will not lure the enemy with a fake mutiny, as Lord Fu said, this matter can be big or small, "If the fake comes true, I think Guo Fengxiao will not use this plan, that is to say, Cao Jun mutinied, I am afraid that there is indeed such a thing."
Ridiculous," Yuan Shao obviously had this, he couldn't believe it, frowned and said suspiciously, if Cao Jun really mutinied, how could he still defeat Wen Chou. The lieutenant general of our army is so easy to deal with. Ridiculous"
Frowning carefully, he looked at the letter carefully, and then looked at Pang Tong, shook his head and said, "I'd rather believe it, whether it is credible or not, and its unjudged, the adult is cautious, and he never speaks falsely, how can he deceive the lord. If you say that there is something unbelievable, that is, General Wen led 60,000 soldiers and horses to attack Chen Liu, and Chen Liu, Cao's army was only 40,000, but the morale was completely lost, even if it was a loss of more than 10,000 generals, it was even more strange that the general was killed in battle."
Could it be that Cao Mengde's reinforcements have arrived? Frustrated Zhu looked at Pang Tong and said thoughtfully.
No," Pang Tong shook his head and said in deep thought, no, Cao Jun was defeated in Yanjin and had no intention of fighting, and Cao Mengde had already lost his heart. The two states of Henan were transferred to the soldiers and horses. When the troops of the two states of Henan were almost empty, Cao Jun said that the morale was crucial at the moment, and the strength was secondary, I understand."
Shi Wu understood
Looking at the people in the tent, Pang Tong condensed and said, Cao Jun mutinied, I am afraid that this matter cannot be wrong, Cao Cao's soldiers were defeated, and his heart was not dead, so he transferred his troops to four places, and the newly transferred troops and the defeated army were obviously difficult to get along, and the conflict led to mutiny."
"Touching his chin, Yuan Shao muttered, but it also makes sense."
This matter can't be wrong," Pang Tong smiled faintly, looked at the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice
Cao Bing, who had experienced a mutiny, could still defeat General Wen, which is incredible, and besides, there is another thing in the letter that makes me confused."
Confused. "Don't say that Yuan Shao didn't even understand what Pang Tong said.
Ah, it's confused," Pang Tong nodded, turned to look at the Yuan Bing, and asked with a frown
Didn't Cao Jun attack Guandu before you came? I asked General Wen Chou if Cao Jun didn't cover up and kill after the defeat of the army and the return to Guandu. ”
Qi Qi, this adult has never been small, and before he came, Cao Jun had never attacked Guandu."
When did you leave? ”
Yesterday the sky dawned"
When did General Wen go to Chenliu? ”
It's the day before yesterday, it's not the day before yesterday."
The day before yesterday," Pang Tong frowned and paced in the tent.
Wen Chou led his troops out of Guandu, I am afraid that it was September 11, according to the caution of Zhengnan, I am afraid that Wen Chou would be told to attack Chen Liu at night, that is, late at night on the 11th, Wen Chou's army was defeated and died.
It's strange that Wen Chou was defeated and the army had to return to Guandu, which is too unbelievable, why didn't Cao Cao take advantage of the situation to take Guandu. It could be that there is instability in the army. It's impossible, since you can defeat Wen Chou, why is it unstable, I'm right, I'm afraid
troops
Cao Cao's current troops and horses are probably only 40,000 troops to take the official crossing. That's self-defeating
time
However, what Zhengnan said in the letter is puzzling
The day before, I heard that Cao Ying mutinied, and the next day Wen Chou led an army to attack Chen Liu, and was defeated
In just one day, not only was the mutiny suppressed, but the morale of the whole army was also raised, how could it be.
Although it is unbelievable, since it can defeat Wen Chou, I am afraid that this matter is ten likely
Cao Jun regained his fighting spirit and was in trouble
Do not take the official crossing. Take the text ugly
Hey, the Cao army didn't take the official crossing, firstly, because the troops were insufficient, and secondly, because they didn't want to fight on both sides, if the Cao army took the official crossing, it was naturally needless to say, and the main prince could cross the army to the west, attack the official crossing, and fly to the south, and attack Chen Liu, and the Cao army was powerless to stop it.
It is not difficult to abandon Guandu and guard Chen Liuguandu, and it is not difficult to cross the river if the water situation eases, and Chen Liushui is quite urgent, and it is not easy to cross, hehe, if you choose yourself, you can only follow their will to cross the river in the direction of Guandu
However, if I insist on going my own way, Chen Liu, and Guandu soldiers and horses are flanked by Guo Fengxiao on both sides, aren't you asking for your own death?
If you want me to go to Guandu, I want to go, Chen Liu, what can I do.
Just when Pang Tong was secretly thinking about countermeasures, the Yuan soldier clasped his fists and whispered, The lord can reply to the military judge. If there is no small one, go back."
Yuan Shaozheng was angry and angry, and when he heard the words, he glared at Yuan Bing fiercely, and was about to scold, but when he saw it, he said that the lord and the official can not afford to lose the heavy land, and now there is a shortage of soldiers under the account of the judge, and the major general is afraid that if the Cao army attacks, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend it, and I think that the lord should not send General Gao Ran to lead the army."
It's ridiculous," as soon as the words fell, Guo Tu sneered and sneered, as a strategist, didn't he know that the first army had not moved the grain and grass first. At present, there is a shortage of food in the army, you ask General Gao Ran to lead the army to Guandu, I'm afraid that the soldiers of Guandu have already starved to death on the way."
Lord Guo" looked at Guo Tu helplessly, and said, Wuchao is only a day's journey from Guandu, how can you starve to death on the way. ”
The meaning of Lord Fu is to make the soldiers under the command of General Gao Lan hungry to fight with the Cao army. Guo Tu was-for-tat.
Yuan Shao held his forehead, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Fu Zhi and Guo Tu one by one.
Indeed, Guandu is an important land that cannot be lost
However, there is some truth in Gonghe's words, and now that there is a shortage of food in the army, most of them rely on slaughtering horses to survive, so Gao Ran can't be asked to fight with Cao's army hungry. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be our army that will mutiny
What do you think? Thinking about it, Yuan Shao could only turn to Pang Tong for help.
But the lord can rest assured that the Cao army will not attack Guandu," Pang Tong smiled and said lightly.
Oh" Yuan Shao was surprised when he heard this.
In contrast, I am more worried," said Pang Tong, turned to look at the trembling Yuan Bing, and said with a smile, How General Wen was defeated, have you ever heard of it. From the mouth of the soldiers who retreated from this defeat"
This" Yuan Bing hesitated.
Don't hurry up," Yuan Shao shouted.
Nuo, "That Yuan Bing was almost startled, a cold sweat, clenched his fists, and said in a panic, I only know that I don't know the details, I heard from a fellow villager of mine, he also went to Chen Liu, it seems that General Wen was ambushed by the Cao army after entering the Cao camp, and then an infantry wearing silver and white armor seized the city gate, and then there was a cavalry wearing black armor from outside the camp to cover and kill, and the two sides attacked, and finally the Cao army killed in a big way, and our army was defeated."
Yes. Pang Tong was stunned and frowned, and said the infantry in silver-white armor. Cavalry in black armor. Is there such an army under Cao Mengde's account? ”
It doesn't seem to be," said in frustration, raised his head and was about to ask the lord Yuan Shao, but saw Yuan Shao's eyes wide, his face stunned, and he couldn't believe it.
Shaking his head, Pang Tong asked if he could be more specific. ”
Obviously, Yuan Bing shook his head, for fear that Pang Tong would be angry, and lowered his head deeply, suddenly he seemed to remember something, and he clenched his fists happily and said, Adult, the little one remembered, the little fellow also said that the two soldiers and horses are monsters, and they all seem to be euphorbia under the command of the lord," he said, he secretly looked at the lord's expression, but saw the lord sitting on the lord's seat, his head down, and he didn't know what to think about anymore.
Euphorbia. Pang Tong was shocked by this, could it be that Cao Mengde also had this kind of army under his command.
What are these two armies called. ”
This cavalry calls itself Tiger and Leopard, oh, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and that infantry seems to be chanting all the time. Trapped, but what is the name of the small fellow doesn't know."
"Bang dang" seems to be the sound of a tea cup falling to the ground and breaking.
Pang Tong subconsciously turned around and looked at Yuan Shao suspiciously, sitting on the seat with his right hand in his right hand, the expression in his eyes was very complicated, and under his feet were fragments of broken tea cups and wet ground
It's coming, it's righteous
I really don't want you to wade into this troubled water
Can't you stay in peace and wait for Xu Du to personally persuade me to surrender when I move my army south? wW
