Chapter 314: The First Encounter on the Battlefield
Tian Feng and Zhen Mi planned to accumulate strength for Yuan Xu in Yecheng, and led 5,000 soldiers to the south, and Yuan Xu was exploring the movements of Cao's army all the way.
Knowing that Yuan Xu was coming, Cao Cao's soldiers arrived in Liyang and did not go north again.
In Liyang City, Cao Cao's residence.
The general and his staff sat on both sides, and Cao Cao sat on the head.
Everyone looked solemn, and Cao Cao was even more like a great enemy!
"Yuan Xianxin led the army to come." Cao Cao said: "If we don't break it, we will have worries in the future." Do you have a way to break the enemy? ”
"Cao Gong!" Guo Jia got up and said, "Yuan Xianxin is only here to intercept our army, and he has no intention of breaking it. We deserve to be fast! ”
"In the first battle of Guandu, our army won a complete victory, and we could have driven straight into Yecheng, but the Yuan family actually had a Yuan Xianxin!" Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao and Yuan Xianxin have met and are most familiar with each other. This battle was led by Fengxiao, how? ”
"Gong Cao has an order, dare not obey his orders!" Guo Jia gave up his hand.
"Zilian, Miaocai, Mancheng, Wenze!" Cao Cao pointed out the words of the four generals.
Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Yu Ban got up.
"Feng Xiao led 10,000 troops, and you waited for the auxiliary to attack Yuan Xianxin!"
"Order!" Four generals commanded.
Cao Cao dispatched troops, and Yuan Xu led his army to camp a hundred miles away from Liyang.
The soldiers of the Yuan army cut down wood nearby to build a camp and confronted the Cao army of Liyang.
"Childe!" Riding a fast horse and galloping into the barracks, when Yuan Xu approached, the knight turned over and dismounted: "Cao Cao has Guo Jia as the main general, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Yu Ban as deputy generals, leading 10,000 troops to attack!" ”
"Guo Jia is the main general!" Yuan Xu smiled slightly: "Cao Mengde really looks up to a certain person." Such a strong lineup was dispatched! ”
"If my brother doesn't go south with Liu Xuande, it will also help at this time." Zhao Yi said: "I don't know so far. Why is he? ”
"Zilong has his own reasons for this. Hu Ban should be safe. Yuan Xu said: "There is no need to mention this matter again, wait for Yuan Cao's battle to have an eyebrow." A certain has its own plan! ”
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Han Meng are all in Penglai, and Tai Shigong and Ma Yi have also returned to the island. A strong enemy is coming. Does Childe have a way to deal with it? ”
"Guo Jia is known as a ghost, and the marching array is unexpected. Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and others are battlefield veterans, Cao Cao is like this, he just wants to fight quickly! Yuan Xu said: "He wants to fight a decisive battle, but he doesn't fight!" By how they shout and scold, they turn a deaf ear! ”
Zhao Yi didn't expect Yuan Xu's strategy to be so simple.
He was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Just so?" ”
"That's it!"
Guo Jia led an army of 10,000 and forced Yuan's army with Xiahou Yuan and others as deputy generals.
Getting closer and closer to Yuan's army, the newly built Yuan's army camp can be seen in the distance. Guo Jia ordered the army to stop and camp.
"It's a hundred miles away from Liyang." Cao Hong said: "Yuan Xianxin is stationed here, so he has no intention of attacking? ”
"Of course he didn't plan to attack." Guo Jia said: "In the battle of Guandu, Yuan's soldiers were still defeated by Cao Gong, and he only had 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, how could he resist tens of thousands of troops? ”
"Stationed here, the soldiers consume military rations every day but have no way to fight." Cao Hong said: "The last general can't figure it out, what is Yuan Xianxin's plan? ”
"What's the point?" Raising his hand, Guo Jia said: "The place where Yuan Xianxin is stationed is the only way for our army to go north!" Yuan's army held this place, if it was not broken. Our army must make a big circle to the east when it goes north! Once bypassed, Yuan Xianxin could attack from behind. The soldiers who have not yet arrived in Yecheng are already tired, how to fight again? ”
Cao Hong was stunned.
Yuan Xu stationed troops here, not to attack Cao's army. just held the main road to block the advance of Cao's army.
After the battle of Guandu, the vitality of the Yuan family was greatly damaged, and Cao Cao should be able to break through Yecheng all the way north.
Hebei has a large population. gave the Yuan family a chance to breathe, and Yuan Shao could regroup his troops and horses.
It's hard to say who killed the deer in the Central Plains!
"The last general will go to the battle." Find out why. Cao Hong said: "Scolding him for the smoke from his ancestral tomb, I don't believe that Yuan Xianxin will not be able to come out!" ”
"Yuan Xianxin is not a person without a city. I'm afraid he will be like this. Guo Jia said with a smile: "Does the general know what is most lacking in the lone army?" ”
"What?"
"Provisions!" Guo Jia said: "5,000 soldiers, although the number is not much, the daily cost is also a lot. Yuan Xianxin led the army here, and the military rations brought by the soldiers must not be able to eat for a few days. We only need to send scouts to find out the enemy's food routes, and the army is forced to not meet him! ”
"The military advisor is really good." Cao Hong said: "In this way, Yuan Xianxin wants to shrink and hold on, but he can't get it!" ”
Yuan Xu led the army to guard the main road, Guo Jiayu camped only a mile or two away from him, and the two sides confronted each other at close range, but neither of them made any moves.
On the newly built walled wall, Yuan Xu climbed high and looked!
"Since Guo Jia is here, why don't you come forward to fight?" Standing behind Yuan Xu, Zhao Yi was full of suspicion.
"He's waiting for our army to deliver rations." Yuan Xu said: "We are waiting for the lone army to go deeper, and it is difficult to raise military rations, and the soldiers will definitely be transported from all over the country. ”
"If he robs the rations, our army will go to war." Zhao Yi was stunned: "The number of our army is not as good as the enemy's, and the frontal fight is not an opponent!" ”
"In two days, military rations will come here, and he will take them." Yuan Xu smiled indifferently.
"Why isn't Childe worried?" Yuan Xu's response made Zhao Yi even more confused.
"False, false, true, true!" Yuan Xu said: "Every two days, military rations come here, which is nothing more than the use of people. The other army robbed the grain and grass, and used the army to spend too much, so I want to see how Guo Jia responds! ”
The two armies confronted each other, and neither had any intention of attacking.
The leader confronted the Yuan army, and two days later, Guo Jia was in the camp tent, and a guard reported outside: "Qi Qi military division, explore the horse and report that the Yuan army has military rations delivered!" ”
Knowing that Yuan Jun had sent military rations, Guo Jia hurriedly asked, "How many are there?" How far is it from Yuan Jun? ”
"A total of two hundred carts, fifty miles away from Yuan Jun!"
"Gather the generals!" Guo Jia ordered.
After a while, Cao Hong and others arrived one after another.
"Tanma returned, Yuan Jun came with grain and grass." Guo Jia said: "Two hundred carts of military rations, once sent to the barracks, can support more than a month!" ”
"The military advisor has an expulsion, and we will all move forward!" Xiahou Yuan arched his hand and said.
"General Cao, General Yu, you two lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to loot grain and grass. General Xiahou led 5,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the formation in the rear, beware of Yuan's army cutting off our army's retreat. ”
"General Lee." Looking at Li Dian, Guo Jia said: "After a certain leader of 2,000 soldiers and horses, in case of a change, it is good to make a response!" ”
The crowd took orders.
Cao Jun moved, but Yuan Xu on the high wall of the barracks was smiling.
"Guo Jia lives up to his reputation! The soldiers were divided into three routes, one way to rob grain and one to break off, and the other way to watch from afar. No matter how our army responds, it will be in trouble! (To be continued.) )
