From the end of the fourth year of Jian'an to the beginning of the fifth year of Jian'an, many battles broke out at the same time on the vast land of China, but most of them were indistinguishable, and finally they withdrew their troops and came to an end.
First of all, in the battle of Lin Xi, Yuan and Cao each transferred large armies to confront each other across the river, and Cao's army tried to cross the river to attack many times, but they were all blocked by frustration. In the first month of the fifth year, Guo Tu offered a plan, from the general Chun Yuqiong to the east to the upper reaches of Huanshui, suddenly crossed the river and attacked Dangyin, first occupied the ancient city of Yili in the north of Dangyin - it is said that King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned here by Shang, and it was bad luck to deduce gossip. However, Cao Cao's envoy Cai Yang helped to defend the Yin, and Chun Yuqiong could not resist the attack for three days, so he had to retreat.
At the beginning of February, because the transportation line was too long compared to Yuan's army, Zheng Xuan, the great Si Nong, and Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu jointly signed a letter, requesting the army to be dismissed, and waiting for this autumn. Cao Cao passed the letter to his subordinates to watch, and Xun Yu stroked his long beard and smiled: "You can retreat." ”
Protector Han Hao objected: "Hedong, Hanoi, there is no news yet, if you retreat at this time, Yuan Shao will move to the west to ......" Guo Jia said with a smile: "According to my investigation, Yuan Shaoqian was defeated in Guandu, morale was not up, and he rushed to Huanbei, and everyone thought of returning." Then I retreat, and they will also disperse, scatter and reunite, isn't it difficult? Worry-free also. ”
In the end, Cao Cao adopted the Jianyi of Xun You, Guo Jia and others, leaving Cai Yang to guard Dangyin and Li Dian to guard Lin Xi, and led the army back to Xudu.
The second battlefield is in Changshan. Previously, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan killed Jingcheng, defeated Lü Xiang, and surrounded Zhending, coinciding with the end of the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao also hurriedly retreated to Huainan to attack Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao made Zhang Nan a general. Judged as a prison army, led the division to rescue. The two armies fought fiercely under the city of Zhending. Although Gongsun Zhan's department was numerous, most of them were the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro and the people who were coerced, and the discipline was extremely poor.
At this time, Yuan Shao's Changshan Xiang was the descendant of the former Lujiang Taishou and the famous man paradigm. won the hearts of the people in the country, and the cage city was stubbornly defended, and Gongsun Zhan couldn't overcome it with all his might. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other in Lin Xi, they summoned Gongsun Zhan to rendezvous, so Gongsun Zhan bypassed the Yuan clan and went south from the west of the city along the foothills of Taihang Mountain. Not far away, I suddenly heard that Zhang Nan was copying his baggage behind. If he wanted to seize Jingcheng, he had no choice but to reflexively kill back, that is, he went into battle in Shiyi in the south of Jingcheng Mountain. Seeing this, the trial advised Zhang Nan to withdraw his troops for the time being and return to Zhending.
The third battlefield is in Hanyang. The year before, Lü Bu's army had entered the Northland. Captured Fuping, bound the county to defend Suozhan, and then crossed the Yellow River from Yuyin and took Jincheng directly. Han Sui and Ma Teng hurriedly waved their troops to greet them, and they were defeated in the first battle. But then he insisted on Jincheng, Yuanwei, Yunjie and other counties, and the Quartet Qiang rode in a steady stream. Lü Bu was forced to lead his army back.
The fourth battlefield is in Nanyang. Liu Bei continued to send envoys to Xiangyang in accordance with Shixun's Jianyì, asking Liu Biao to give him a buff of soldiers and grain, saying that otherwise it would not be enough to defeat Zhang Xiu. Liu Biaoxin said that I didn't expect your army to defeat Zhang Xiu, but I just let you bump into it first, and Wen Ping will attack from the flank, and I will send Cai Mao to lead the army to follow up...... Therefore, he folded Liu Bei's request in half, slowly sent it to the front line, and urged the troops again.
In the first month of the following year, Liu Bei finally couldn't drag it out any longer, so he left Xinye and went north to Yuyang. Zhang Xiu sent his son Zhang Quan to rescue, but Guan Yu broke it, and then lost his child. Then Liu Bei seized Jianyang County, and gathered with the main forces of Zhang Xiu and Cao Bao in the south, and fought several battles. He sent envoys several times to urge Wen Ping to go west, but at this time, Liu Biao had heard that Zhang Xian's soldiers had entered Xiaoling, and hurriedly summoned Wen Ping to save Nanjun, Wen Ping gave Liu Bei an empty promise, and then turned around and flashed.
Liu Bei finally got the news, and Guan, Zhang and others all scolded Liu Biao for being untrustworthy. So Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to discuss with Zhang Xiu, I will return to Jianyang County, and we will withdraw our troops. Zhang Xiu said that I don't have enough food to eat, since you have recently received a lot of supplies from Liu Biao, then take out 30,000 stones in exchange for Yuyang County, Liu Bei happily agreed, and the two sides stopped fighting.
However, the real war has only just begun......
Shi Xun returned from Changsha, first turned to Shu County, reunited with Tai Shici's old friends, said goodbye to each other, and sighed and wept. Tai Shi Ci set up a banquet to entertain Shi Xun, so that his wife took out his four-year-old son Tai Shi Xiang, kowtowed to Shi Xun, called him "uncle", and said: "If there is no Hongfu, I will be a small official in my hometown today, and I will have thousands of soldiers and guard the big county?" ”
It was Xun Xin who said don't be stupid, if you don't have me, you will be no less general than Zhou Yu in Jiangdong at this time......
Wei Yanshi lived in the nest, and when he heard the news, he hurried to Shu County to meet with Shixun, and thanked him for taking care of his wife in Xudu. Shi Xun said to Tai Shici and Wei Yan, when I came, I saw the big boat in Jiangdong, and the canopy towered into the sky, if we don't have enough naval troops, it will be difficult to control the Yangtze River in the future, and it will be very difficult to cross the river to fight. Tai Shici said: "I also trained sailors in Zongyang, but I didn't have enough money and food, so I couldn't do anything. "Yes Xun said that I will build a yì with Cao Gong when I go back, and allocate money and food to you, and we must build the water army of the imperial court.
After bidding farewell to Tai Shici and Wei Yan, he continued to go north and returned to Xudu almost with Cao Cao. first entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, returned the angel honor guard, and was forced to go to Sikong Mansion that night to eat wheat cakes and drink vegetable soup. Cao Cao inquired in detail about the process of his mission, and chatted with Shi Xun about Lin Xi's war, and Shi Xun sighed softly: "It's a pity that Yuan Ye can't be destroyed this time." ”
Of course, he also understands that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is impossible for the Yuan family to fall down with a push - even in the original history, the battle of Guandu only reversed the situation of strength and weakness, and Cao Cao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and directly took Yecheng to the end, and he had to endure for many years until Yuan Shao breathed his last breath and the sons fought among themselves - it's just a pity that this time the battle of Lin Shu was a draw and failed to weaken the Yuan family's power more effectively.
However, Cao Cao smiled slyly, took the map and laid it on the case: "Don't worry." Before I left, I had sent Le Wenqian to confess himself, and Zixiao to join the party from Taihang......"
It turned out that the armies of Yuan and Cao confronted each other in Linxi, and Yuan Shao was forced to transfer troops and horses from the east and west lines because of low morale, among which there were no less than 15,000 reinforcements from Bingzhou. Cao Cao now merged the state to emptiness, that is, he sent the most hard-fought Lejin in the army with 500 daring soldiers to quietly break through Baicheng and take Yangtou Mountain; At the same time, Cao Ren was secretly repatriated to Hanoi and went out of Taihang to attack Tianjing Pass. The front refers to Gaodu.
The two armies were caught off guard and attacked from the east and south. It is not difficult to capture Tianjingguan and even Gaodu and Hyunshi counties, and they can gain a firm foothold in Shangdang County. At the same time, Cao Cao also ordered Sima Yi to do his best to raise the soldiers of Hedong County, cooperate with Xiahou Lan and the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan Department, and enter Taiyuan to contain Gao Gan. Cao Cao was in Lin Wei, and Yuan Jun did not dare to transfer troops from the front line to save the party; Cao Cao's retreat. As Guo Jia said, Yuan Shao's headquarters is scattered and difficult to gather, and the Bingzhou army that reinforces Lin Shu has to travel a long way to rush back, and there will be no combat power left, so - "Shangdang is in the hands of Cao." ”
It was Xun who pressed the map with his hand and looked at it for a long time, secretly applauding in his heart. At this time, Yuan Qiang and Cao were weak...... Oh. In this life, it may be said that the situation of Yuan and Cao fighting against each other has fundamentally changed, and the Cao family has the upper hand, so Cao Cao has the strength to divide his troops to attack the party in Lin Xi, and Yuan Shao does not have the ability to disperse and resist. Immediately, Bai Cheng and Taihang Cheng, Hanoi and Hedong are interlocking. A set of linkage is enough to beat Gao Gan halfway. If it is really as Cao Cao expected, Le Jin and Cao Ren have not lost any chains - Yes Xun is not worried about whether Sima Zhongda will drop the chain at all - then Guo Yuan of the party will definitely lose. Then the party was lost, Taiyuan was in danger, and the left and right wings of the Yuan family all collapsed. If Yuan Shao wants to revive again, it will be quite difficult. Stay up until this fall. The Cao family has a resurgence of the army, and Yecheng is not enough!
It's a pity, this large-scale operation has nothing to do with me, if I am still in Hedong, even if the military power is mainly in the hands of Xiahou Lan......
He just wanted to praise Cao Cao a few words, and by the way, express his dissatisfaction with being deprived of military rights - there is nothing to be dissatisfied with being transferred out of Hedong, saving Zhang Xiu and blocking Liu Bei is more important than fighting Gao Gan - but suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but lightly "huh".
Cao Cao sensed that Shi Xun's expression was wrong, so he asked him, "What's wrong?" Kosuke can be outspoken. ”
It was Xun Xin who said that if you take a telegram or call to give instructions to the distant battlefield, then there is nothing wrong with it, even if there is, I can't see it at my level, but...... Raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao: "The lord wants to get the party, and he wants to get Taiyuan?" ”
Cao Cao was confused: "What do you mean?" ”
Shi Xun had already completely figured out the clue at this time, and said with a slight smile: "If the party encounters the police, Gao Gan has to lead the army south, that is, Sima Zhongda and others can contain Gao Gan, and the eldest son (Shangdang County Governance) is solid, and it is not a haste to be ......."
Cao Cao said I know, I don't have the luxury of swallowing the party in a battle, as long as Zixiao and they can gain a firm foothold, I will send reinforcements over - Sima Yi and Xiahou Lan in the north have restrained Gao Gan, Yuan Shao in the east has not recovered, it is difficult to send reinforcements, let's toss for a few months or even half a year, can we still defeat Guo Yuan? If I can't defeat my eldest son, I will personally lead the army to go after the autumn, and then fight Yuan Shao in the territory of Shangdang!
Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "Shangdang is on the side of Yecheng, Fukou is convenient to come and go, and Taiyuan is north, and Jingcheng is controlled by Gongsun, so in terms of Gao Gan, Taiyuan may be temporarily lost, and Shangdang must not be lost." If Gao Gan abandons Taiyuan and the whole division saves the party, I am afraid that Zhongda will not be able to stop it. and the state army and Chen's eldest son, then the son's filial piety is in danger......"
Cao Cao was shocked: "I will send reinforcements immediately......"
Shixun waved his hand: "No need." If Zhongda can get Taiyuan, then he can collude with Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, condescending, the party is like a tiger, and its tail has been controlled by me, how can I be? I expected that he would go deep and high to guard the eldest son, and he would not dare to fight with his son. ”
He said this in his mouth, but in fact, what he thought in his heart was that now that communication is so poor, it is difficult to link up between the two battlefields hundreds of miles apart, how can you ensure that Sima Yi and them can advance north before Gao Gan mobilizes his troops and firmly contain him? Besides, with Zhongda's temperament, maybe he will deliberately let Gao Gan go, and swallow the entire Taiyuan County in one bite - don't look at him just to temporarily take charge of the county's affairs, judging from his own perception in Hedong, as long as he is reasonable, Xiahou Lan will obey his fate.
After all, it is a good thing for the Cao family to have the party and Taiyuan, and it will not have any negative impact on the overall situation. Not to mention Sima Yi and Xiahoulan, if you change to any Hedong Shou who has brains and ambitions, he will definitely not let go of this great opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Moreover, his own family has also done a lot of work to divide and disintegrate Taiyuan, Gao Gan is in the county, no one dares to act rashly, if Gao Gan leaves, Wang Rou, Hao Zhao and others will definitely defect - with Sima Zhongda's ability, how can he not seize such a great opportunity?
Hearing Shi Xun's words, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and pondering, and when he was finished, he asked: "If you get Taiyuan, it's good, but I don't know if you can succeed?" ”
Shi Xun smiled slightly: "If only Xiahou is in Hedong, it is unpredictable, but the lord and the lord underestimated Zhongda......" thought about it, and added: "Zhongda's deployment in Hedong, one from Xun, there is Zhongda, if there is Xun, please wait and see!" ”
