Among the three talents, Xi Zhicai used his life and his actions to prove that Cao Jun is definitely a force worth serving, and everyone in the world also speculates how much charm Cao Cao has and is worthy of his subordinates to do so many things for him, even if he dies, he does not forget to help him gain the advantage of war.

However, although the Cao army fought very beautifully in the Battle of White Horse, the overall strength of the two armies of Cao and Yuan has not changed much, the Yuan army is still relatively strong, and in comparison, the Cao army is much weaker, and 30,000 soldiers are not a wound to the Yuan army, which is overwhelming.

That is, after the white horse, the princes of the world will begin to gather their eyes on Guandu, which is the main event, and the white horse is just a foreshadowing.

The army of Yuan army was like a bamboo, after the army crossed the Yellow River, it was towards Guandu to kill, this way Yuan army was also quite painful, Cao army implemented a policy of 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 anyway, Yuan Jun finally rushed to Guandu.

At the beginning of the war, Du Chen chose the place of the decisive battle in Guandu, so the Cao army 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 a single wooden wall.

After the army of Yuan Jun arrived in Guandu, they began to build a camp, and saw such a strong camp of the Cao army, the Yuan army was naturally not to be outdone, they set up camp with sand piles, about dozens of miles wide from east to west, although it did not seem to be as strong as the Cao army, but it was obviously stronger than the general camp.

As soon as Yuan Jun began to build, someone made a suggestion to Cao Cao. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Yuan army to launch a surprise attack, it may play an unexpected role, and in this regard, Du Chen also nodded slightly, the Yuan army lost the first battle, and lost two generals.

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

Seeing that Du Chen did not object, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to throw 3,000 soldiers to attack the camp, but the result surprised the Cao army, and the Cao army's attack on the camp hit an iron plate. This caused heavy losses to the 3,000 soldiers of Cao's 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 went down a little further, it would not only be a matter of minor injury, it was very likely that an arrow would kill Zhang Liao.

Hearing the news, Du Chen was also quite shocked, although Zhang Liao was injured. needed to rest, but Du Chen 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 severe casualties to Cao's army.

The losses of the 3,000 Cao troops who went to attack the camp reached more than half, and the remaining Cao troops were obviously all wounded, even if they encountered several times the attack of the Yuan army, the Cao army would not necessarily suffer such heavy losses. So this made Du Chen feel quite puzzled.

Du Chen came to visit him in person, Zhang Liao felt quite moved, but thinking that he had defeated Cao Jun in the first battle, he felt very guilty in his heart, and it was a little difficult to face Du Chen.

Du Chen obviously knew what Zhang Liao was thinking. He came to Zhang Liao and said with a smile: "Hehe, why does Wen Yuan need to be like this, victory and defeat are 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 gentleman have high hopes for Liao, but the Liao led our army to suffer heavy losses, how can the Liao be worthy of the trust of the lord and the gentleman." Zhang Liao said with guilt, his defeat in this battle was too miserable, and there were few such miserable defeats in Cao's army.

Du Chen smiled 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 a qiē." ”

Zhang Liao wanted to say something, but Du Chen stretched out his hand to stop him, he looked at Zhang Liao and asked in a deep voice, "Can Wen Yuan inform Yu Chen of the specific news of the defeat." ”

Zhang Liao frowned, this painful experience was a nightmare for himself, but since Mr. wanted to know, Zhang Liao naturally would not hide it, he thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Liao suspects that Yuan Jun has long known that our army will attack by surprise, so he specially arranged for the elite to wait for our army. ”

"Yuan Jun elite." Du Chen muttered to himself, and then he thought of something, yes, there are not no elites in the Yuan army, and this elite combat power is quite strong.

"Actually, don't hide it from your lordship, the number of Yuan Jun's elite is not very large, but its combat effectiveness is really rare."

Du Chen looked at Zhang Liao when he heard this, he obviously believed in Zhang Liao very much, after all, Zhang Liao was not a person who liked to exaggerate, and then 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 it, he hadn't said it yet, but Mr. already knew that the enemy army was using a strong crossbow, and when he came back to his senses, Zhang Liao nodded,

"Yesterday, Liao led the army to attack the Yuan army, and happened to find a Yuan army, and the number of enemy troops in Liao was not very large, so Liao thought that with the elite of our army, it was not too much of a problem to eat this Yuan army, so he led the army to attack."

"But at this time, a Yuan army suddenly came out, they held a strong crossbow, launched an offensive against our army, the bow and crossbow is a weapon that is difficult to master, so Liao didn't care, but I didn't expect that this army would use the bow and crossbow quite skillfully, and when the strong crossbow was launched, someone in our army fell in response."

"After that, they gave up their bows and crossbows and had hand-to-hand combat with our army, but our army was still not its opponent, seeing that there was no possibility of victory, Liao led the army to retreat, and at this moment, the general of the Yuan army picked up the bow and crossbow and shot an arrow at Liao, Liao 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 Du Chen would only be able to see his corpse.

Through Zhang Liao's words, Du Chen's thoughts finally became clear, and it seemed that what he was thinking was not wrong at all, it was none other than the first battalion led by Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi.

Koji Yi is a neglected general, in the entire Yuan Shao army, I am afraid that only his comprehensive ability can be counted as the first, Koji Yi can be good at fighting, repeatedly made military exploits, once fought with the Qiang people in Liangzhou, led Yuan Shao's elite troops, and later was killed by Yuan Shao because of his high merit and arrogance.

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 Yicong in Gongsun Zhan's hands, so to speak, but looking at the strong record of Xiandeng Dead Soldiers, you can know that their combat effectiveness is extraordinary,

Although they are the nemesis of the light cavalry, but now it seems that they also have a set of ways to deal with the foot, three thousand Cao soldiers were killed by them and one person turned on his horse, which made Du Chen have to pay attention to it, it seems that Yuan Jun is really full of talents, and he can no longer be so careless to underestimate the enemy.

Du Chen told Zhang Liao to have a good rest, and then he left Zhang Liao's camp, and as soon as he returned to his camp, someone told him that Cao Cao had summoned him to discuss matters, and Du Chen 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 Du Chen appear, everyone focused their eyes on Du Chen's body, and Du Chen 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 Chen's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and I hope that Meng De will surrender to Chen." ”

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

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

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

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, Du Chen 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 Cheng dù is almost the same as the Golden Viper army. ”

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

Seeing everyone's still puzzled expressions, Du Chen really didn't know how to answer, it was obvious that Koji Yi's reputation was not very prominent, but it was no wonder that Gongsun Chan was defeated in his own hands, so Koji Yi and the first deceased naturally didn't have too many opportunities to express themselves, and it was common sense that Cao Cao and others didn't know.

Just when Du Chen didn't know how to speak, Cao Cao said at this time: "Could it be that Silang knows that Luyi." ”

Cao Cao asked, Du Chen naturally knew what Cao Cao was thinking, it was obvious that Cao Cao's love for talent was moved, Zhang Liao's ability can be imagined, and he was able to defeat Zhang Liao, and even defeated Cao Jun's 3,000 soldiers, which shows that this Yuan army general named Liyi definitely has the talent of a general.
