Chapter 308: Cao Yuan (14)
Xun Yu stared at Du Chen and asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”
"Whether it is what Meng De did, or the construction of the city by the white horse, it was all to block the footsteps of the Yuan army, and I need to make full preparations to fight against the Yuan army in Guandu."
"Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui, the chasm canal west of the Hujiao, Gong, Luoyao Pass, east of Huaisi, for the north and east of the Xudu barrier, is Yuan Shao to seize the Xudu of the key Jin and the place to fight, the geographical location is so important, so I have to wait here for the arrival of the Yuan army." Du Chen said confidently with an expression,
Although his arrival changed history, Cao Yuan's battle of Guandu was obviously not something that could be instigated by his butterfly wings, but will the matter about Wuchao go according to the trend of history, if he can, then Du Chen really doesn't take Yuan Jun in his eyes,
However, Du Chen is not a fantasist, the matter of Wuchao is inevitably a little unrealistic, after all, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun have not started to confront each other in Guandu, and Wuchao is even more unspecified, what he needs to do now is what is in front of him, and it is not too late to talk about the rest.
Du Chen led the soldiers to the battle, and when he returned to Xuchang City a few days ago, although Qin Xi and others were quite dissatisfied with this, they were also people who knew the general situation, and they would definitely not continue to argue with Du Chen because of this, Du Chen was such a person, and the current world is such a world.
After Du Chen led his troops to Guandu, he began to find the best position to start preparing the camp, and Yuan Shao was also well prepared, although Cao Cao led the army to constantly attack from the side, but Cao Cao still underestimated Yuan Shao's determination.
On the one hand, Yuan Shao ordered people to encircle and suppress the enemy soldiers led by Cao Cao to protect the flanks, and on the other hand. He sent his general Yan Liang to prepare to cross the river to take the White Horse, although the Cao army built a city in the White Horse to prevent the Yuan army, but the White Horse was a strategic place after all, the Yuan army had to take it, Yan Liang led an army of 30,000 to cross the Yellow River, and the troops pointed directly at the White Horse City. And Cao Cao on the other side of the river faced the heavy encirclement of the Yuan army, and couldn't help but retreat, now that the Yuan army crossed the river has become a fact, no matter how much he attacks at home, it is obvious that he can't stop the Cao army.
Moreover, with the White Horse City here, Cao Cao naturally believed that it would be able to delay Yuan's army for more time, so Cao Cao finally chose to cross the Yellow River and withdraw to Yanjin.
After Cao Cao retreated, Yuan Jun's river crossing operation became more and more smooth, this matter, Yuan Shao was somewhat high-spirited, and Xu You beside him was obviously very happy, without Tian Feng and the two, Xu You's status was obviously much higher, but it was precisely because of this. He was also ostracized by the crowd.
This is the case when you serve under Yuan Shao, others can't look down on you. And you naturally can't look down on others, now that Xu You is in the limelight, how can other Yuan Jun strategists have a good face for Xu You.
However, I don't care what others think of myself, just as the so-called winner is the king and the loser is the loser, now that he is victorious, it has nothing to do with himself how others are willing to be jealous.
"Lord, now that General Yan Liang has successfully crossed the river, he is now gathering troops to prepare to take White Horse City in one fell swoop." Yuan Shao's side, Xu You said in a deep voice, so far. Yuan Jun has always been in the lead, as long as he is steady and steady, Cao Jun is obviously not Yuan Jun's opponent.
"Hmm." Yuan Shao nodded, although his expression was very calm, but Xu You could see that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, obviously Yuan Shao was in a good mood, if he could win the white horse, then Yuan Shao's mood would obviously be even better.
"Don't worry, the lord will definitely urge General Yan Liang to do his best to take White Horse City." Xu You said with joy on his face,
"Ziyuan, don't be careless to underestimate the enemy, Cao Jun has worked hard to build White Horse City, it is obviously not something that can be broken lightly." Judging and saying in a deep voice on the side, a qiē is a little unusually smooth, in the opinion of the judge, White Horse City will definitely give Yuan Jun a blow to the head. However, he didn't dare to say these words too blatantly, after all, Yuan Shao is in a good mood now, and when he says these words on the side, Yuan Shao obviously won't let himself go lightly.
Although the trial is outspoken and daring, but under the fate of Tian Feng and the two of them, all the Yuan army strategists will learn to protect themselves, and it doesn't matter if they say some unnecessary things or not, and Yuan Jun may not be defeated in White Horse City.
Yan Liang led an army of 30,000 to cross the Yellow River, and then surrounded the White Horse City, the lord has given a death order, he must conquer the White Horse City in the shortest possible time, so that the army can cross the Yellow River smoothly,
Although Yan Liang issued a military order in front of Yuan Shao, after seeing the towering city walls of White Horse City, Yan Liang somewhat regretted his hasty decision, White Horse City is really a heroic city, a prohibitive heroic city.
There are 10,000 Cao soldiers stationed in White Horse City, and these 10,000 Cao troops are simply insignificant against the backdrop of such a majestic city wall.
Seeing such a majestic White Horse City, Yan Liang's idea was to surround this city, but Yuan Shao obviously would not agree, helplessly, he could only do his best to attack the city, but a strong attack is not a way, before attacking the city, he needs to build siege equipment,
But here's the problem, Xi Zhicai obviously knew that Yuan Jun would cut down trees to build siege equipment as soon as possible, so he had already prepared, and all the trees within a radius of several miles were pulled away by Cao Jun, and it was obviously difficult for Yuan Jun to build siege equipment.
Cao Jun's desperate strategy gave Yan Liang quite a headache, such a towering city wall, if he didn't have siege equipment, he would definitely have no way to take it, even if he had siege equipment, it was an unknown thing, so how could he say nothing,
Yan Liang's face has been gloomy in the past few days, and Yuan Shao has kept urging himself to let himself take White Horse City, but the more this is the case, the more irritable Yan Liang's mood becomes, it's not that he doesn't want to attack the city, it's that Cao Jun is too insidious, and he doesn't have any way.
At this time, Cao Cao, who was in Yanjin, was paying close attention to the movements of the white horse, and Du Chen finally came back, which made Cao Cao finally put his mind at ease.
Du Chen is obviously not a person who can sit still, now the war along the Yellow River is in full swing, and Du Chen naturally does not want to waste his youth in the rear, he handed over the matter of building a camp in Guandu to Jia Xu, and Du Chen led the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion to Yanjin.
In fact, it's not just that Du Chen can't sit still, the most unstable thing is Chen Dao, he keeps begging Du Chen, plus Du Chen really wants to go to the battlefield to take a look, there are only three battles of this scale in the Three Kingdoms era, if he can't verify it himself, then Du Chen will feel that he came to the Three Kingdoms for nothing.
When Du Chen led the army to Yanjin, Yan Liang was still looking at White Horse City without any way, and when he heard the news, Du Chen was a little crying and laughing, but this also proved that the effect of White Horse City was very significant, which was amazing.
Seeing Du Chen who suddenly appeared in front of him, Cao Cao felt that his brain was somewhat insufficient, Du Chen really made him too helpless, the news from the front foot was that he was supervising the camp of Guandu, Cao Cao had not come back to his senses, he appeared in front of him.
But it just so happened that at this time, he needed someone to give him advice, although Yan Liang didn't have anything to do with White Horse City, but he obviously took his anger out on the people of Dongjun, so that the people became miserable.
Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, was obviously difficult to resist Yan Liang's offensive, and Yan Liang's dissatisfaction with White Horse City was vented on the city of Dongjun, so Yuan's offensive was unusually fierce, and if this situation developed, Cao Jun obviously might not be able to hold it, so this matter must be resolved.
Du Chen couldn't help frowning a little when he heard the news, Yan Liang is not a good-tempered person, he has been blocked by White Horse City for a long time, naturally he will not be in a good mood, if he vents these anger in Dongjun, it is obvious that Dongjun will make him in dire straits, if this matter is not solved well, even if he defeats Yuan Shao, it will have an indelible impact on Dongjun.
Du Chen obviously can't let Yan Liang be so presumptuous, but he should think of a way, first, to solve the disaster of Baimadong County, and secondly, to hope that he can electrocute Yan Liang once and for all
However, Yan Liang's 30,000 army is obviously not easy to deal with, after all, Yan Liang is the most important military general under Yuan Shao, although he is not in a hurry to be appointed alone, but he is already a rare general, so Du Chen must also deal with it carefully.
After all, Yan Liang's time to serve as a general was longer than the time he had led his troops to fight, Du Chen thought for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, we will mobilize troops to gather in Yanjin and prepare to cross the river." ”
"Silang, what do you mean by that?" Looking at Du Chen in front of him, Cao Cao was somewhat surprised, he couldn't guess what Du Chen wanted to do, mobilize the army to cross the river, did he want to attack the rear army of Yuan's army.
"Pretending to cross the river to attack Yuan's rear army, in fact, wait for Yan Liang to divide his troops and give him a fatal blow." Du Chen said with a vague smile, he squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, hearing Du Chen's plan, Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, the reason why Yuan Shao let Yan Liang take the white horse was to cover his main force to cross the river, if he really had Yanjin to cross the river to attack Yuan's rear army, Yuan Shao's wishful thinking would obviously not work. Now that White Horse City is still in the hands of Cao Jun, there is such a nail, Yuan Shao has to have scruples even if he wants to cross the river, so in order to cover the power of the army, Yuan Shao will inevitably let Yan Liang divide his troops to attack Yanjin and prevent Cao Jun from crossing the river.
Yan Liang, who has 30,000 soldiers under his command, Cao Jun may not dare to fight hard with him, but after dividing the troops, Cao Jun will not take it seriously, Yan Liang needs to send someone to garrison Baima, after all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Baima City, and if one accidentally releases these tens of thousands of soldiers, Yan Liang has a few heads that are not enough to cut off.
