Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In June of the second year of Jian'an (the first year of Jian'an in the original history), that is, two months after Xun welcomed Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng from Qingzhou to serve as the Great Si Nong, the envoy sent by the imperial court to Huainan returned to Xudu, saying that Yuan Shu had found various excuses and refused to answer the summons.

This result was expected by Cao Cao's group, and Cao Cao immediately began to prepare for the southern expedition while sending envoys, and when the envoys returned, he was also fully prepared, so he played the Son of Heaven, clearly declared Yuan Shu's crime, and wrote a crusade. Immediately mobilized the army, and Cao Cao personally led the troops to take Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, the last base of Yuan Laoer.

Cao Jun is divided into three routes: Cao Bao and Xu Tan on the East Road, from Guangling to Quanjiao and Fuling; The western road of Cao Ren and Lejin from the Lujiang River to Hefei - these two roads were to cut off Yuan Shu's way to the south, and at the same time to block Sun Ce's possible reinforcements across the river. The middle road is Cao Cao's pro-unification, leading Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Tai Shici, Li Quan, Xu Huang and other generals to take Shouchun from Runan.

Xu Huang is known as Gongming, originally a county official in Hedong, and later followed Yang Feng as a cavalry captain, it is said that Yang Feng will lead the troops to protect the return of the Son of Heaven to the east, it is all the credit of Xu Huang's persuasion, so when the emperor was in Anyi, he was crowned as the Marquis of Duting. When Cao Cao hijacked Emperor Xian to move south, Yang Feng chased after him, and Xu Huang said, you used to protect the Son of Heaven, and now you want to rob the Son of Heaven. Yang Feng ignored him, and was stabbed by Tai Shici in Yique Pass.

Xu Huang did not follow Yang Feng to chase the Son of Heaven, and still stationed at Hangu Pass with his headquarters soldiers and horses. When the news of Yang Feng's death came back, Lu Bu sent someone to contact him. Said General Xu, you might as well follow me, let's go back to Hedong to recruit troops. Seeking opportunities to go west. But Xu Huang didn't think much of Lu Bu, but sent someone to contact Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked his advisers, how is this person, is there any need for us to accept it? Immediately stood up two people, patted their chests to vouch for Xu Huang, and said that this is a general, you must accept it, the lord - one is Dong Zhao, and the other is Xun.

In later generations, the so-called five generals with the surname of the Cao family "Zhang Le Zhang Xu". The first Zhang Liao is still under Lu Bu, and the fourth Zhang He is still following Yuan Shao, which can't be dug up for the time being, Le Jin has long been a general under Cao Cao, Yu Ban is not a big head, he is biased under Cao Hong, and the last Xu Huang. Yes Xun must persuade Cao Cao to take it - besides, in the original history, Xu Huang also voted for Cao at this juncture.

To say that among the five major generals, it was Xun Qian's life who greatly admired Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Xu Huang, and Xu Gongming - the star spectrum of the generals of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, and Xu Gongming ranked among the top ten that he liked and admired the most. Thinking about that Xu Huang, with a patchwork of recruit eggs. can push Guan Erye under Fancheng, and leave an idiom of "driving straight in" to future generations, so is it worth it? ! So he recommended Xu Huang tightly, but Dong Zhao was stunned when he heard it, and when he came down, he asked, "Did Hongfu know Xu Gongming?" "If you've never seen him before. How can you praise him as a flower?

Shi Xun immediately passed vaguely, and waited for Xu Huang to enter Cao Ying. That's to quickly run over to set up friendship, and get closer. It's a pity that the hot face is attached to the cold buttocks, and Xu Gongming is not pretentious at all, and he has no intention of establishing a good relationship with this Boss Cao's henchmen. It was Xun Xin who said that the history books said that Xu Huang "did not pay for help", which is really true - forget it, idols can only be watched from a distance, not blasphemed, you ignore me, and I am too lazy to spend more effort on you.

After the capital was moved to Xu, the imperial court—in fact, Cao Cao—worshipped Xu Huang as a guerrilla general, and at first let him lead troops to garrison Runan. This time in the southern expedition to Yuan Shu, Xu Huang took the initiative to write a letter to ask for orders, so Cao Cao took him with him.

But as a court official, Xun didn't have anything to do with him, but Cao Cao deliberately played and added him the title of Sikong to join the army, and he also brought it with him in the curtain - the strategists who followed the line were Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Mao Jue and others. Once the elite team of the Cao family was exhausted, it seemed that Cao Cao was determined to eliminate Yuan Shu in one go. Yes Xun couldn't help but think, if you can destroy Yuan Shu a year or two before Yuan Shaoping destroys Gongsun Zhan, and then block Sun Ce and Liu Biao, then it is estimated that the attack and defense of the Battle of Guandu will really change the situation.

But at the same time, he was also very depressed, and said that Cao Miao was about to give birth in another month or two, and you didn't let me see my child born...... Cao Cao, you remember, you dare to treat me as an animal, I'm not done with you!

In July of this year, 100,000 Cao troops surged into the territory of Jiujiang in three ways. Cao Cao personally led the middle road, with Tai Shici as the vanguard, and crossed the water from Longkang County, Runan County, Yuzhou to the south, and directly took Ping'a, an important town in Jiujiang.

Garrisoned in Ping'a was Yuan Shu's general Qiaorui, who was less than 10,000 soldiers and did not dare to resist, so he was forced to abandon the city and stand on the south bank of Huaishui. Cao Cao had to enter Ping'a, that is, with Xun You's strategy, sent Taishi Cidong to take the righteous city, sent Xiahou to the west to capture Cai, and everything was ke, and since then there has been no Yuan army in Huaibei.

In July, the Cao army waved its army to cross the Huai, and Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le Jie who came to reinforce the four generals held the defensive line, and attacked halfway, slightly frustrating the edge of Cao's army. But then Tai Shi Ci crossed from Tu Mountain to the south, abandoned Dangtu and Xiquyang counties not to attack, and followed the back of Yuan Jun, Xiahou Dun also crossed Huai from the upstream and Bo Shouchun. Yuan Shu hurriedly sent an envoy to the front line and ordered the generals to come back to the rescue.

Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun and other generals were outnumbered and unorganized, and there was a shortage of food and straw, and the hearts of the people were shaken, but they suddenly heard the warning of Shouchun, and they were not angry with each other, so they rushed to pull out the camp and retreat. Cao's army took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, so the 30,000 Yuan army was defeated in one day, and Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, won Liang Gang's head in the chaotic army and won the first credit.

On the 19th, Cao's army forced to the foot of Shouchun City. Yuan Shu didn't dare to fight, so he had to defend the city. So Cao Ying's strategists gathered in the big tent to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

Cao Cao first asked, how is Cao Ren and Lejin on the West Road progressing? If Hefei can be taken as planned, it can cut off Yuan Shu's back road. Xun You shook his head and said, "The road is far away, and the information is unknown. Do you want to wait for the news to come, or Yuan Rang, Ziyi and others come to gather, and then officially attack Shouchun City? ”

At this time, Tai Shi Ci was ordered to turn around and attack Xiquyang, and Xiahou Dun, after forcing Yuan's army to retreat from the Huaishui defense line, also continued to advance south, all the way to Shaobei, and was not under Shouchun City.

When Guo Jia heard this, he groaned slightly, and suddenly raised his head and glanced at Shi Xun: "Hongfu once said that there are people under Yuan Shu who are proficient in the art of pigeon letters, and if there is a letter road between Hefei and Shouchun, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will get the news earlier than our army." In this way, if you don't attack Shouchun, you are afraid of losing the fighter, but you will be taken advantage of by Yuan Shu, or you will flee in advance. ”

Cao Cao nodded: "If Yuan Shu hears the police of Hefei, he will abandon the city to help, Zixiao and Wen Qian's troops are all newly recruited troops in Lujiang, if Yuan Shu attacks it with all his might, it may be difficult to stop it." If Yuan Shu follows the river and joins Sun Ce, then although I have a long spring, I will not be a complete victory. Therefore, let us storm this city in a hurry, so as to tie it down. "If the battle has already been taken, Yuan Shu will not be so easy to calmly abandon the city and retreat to reinforce Hefei.

It was Xun Er who listened to their discussion, stared at the map with his eyes, and pretended to think, but in fact, there was a small errand in his head - originally, making decisions in battle was not his forte, and he didn't know why Cao Cao wanted to take himself into battle this time? Besides, Yuan Shu is like a fish swimming at the bottom of a kettle, which is not much different from the situation when he planned to go north to Yuan Shao in the original history, when Liu Bei's army alone could be destroyed, and now my Cao Ying is here...... Well, this is not Shuibo Liangshan...... Cao Jun has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the main force in the middle lane is more than 60,000, how can he Yuan Lao Er turn over? This kind of battle that is sure to be won, I can neither come in handy, nor take advantage of it, nor make a contribution, what am I going to do?

I don't know what Cao Miao's situation is now, the due date should be within this month, and my second child is about to land...... The risk factor of a woman's birth is very high in this year, and there is no need to "in case", there is a more than 30% chance of dystocia, and those who are stable are actually quite limited in professional knowledge and ability, and they can't be counted on at all, how good is it if something really goes wrong......

Cao Cao has a stinky problem, no one is allowed to express his opinion during the meeting, and he will eventually have to ask them one by one, and he also calls it "brainstorming" - it is said that the idiom that came out after decades was still taught by Xun. Sure enough, after Xun and Guo expressed their opinions, Cao Cao began to name them: "What do you think of filial piety?" Mao Jue arched his hand: "It is necessary to attack the city quickly." "What does Zhongde think?" Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Yu Yi and Xiao Xiantong." ”

"What does Kosuke think?"

Yes Xun was pondering the issue of his wife's birth here, and the first time Cao Cao asked, he didn't hear it at all, and continued to pose with his eyes down. Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and raised his voice: "Is Hongfu thoughtful?" ”

This time Xun heard it, quickly gathered his mind, turned his mind slightly, and continued to pretend to twist his beard: "Yuan Shu is withered, and sincerity is not to worry, Xun thinks about it, only Sun Ce is also." Wen Ce has taken Danyang, entered Wu County, and led the army south to Wucheng to seek Yan Baihu...... If this is the case, it will be difficult to return it in a hurry; If the rumors are wrong...... "As he spoke, he swept Xun You and Guo Jia left and right, and said in his heart that if Sun Ce was still staying in Danyang or the northern part of Wu County, and really wanted to reinforce Yuan Shu, what would he do?" I don't have the brains, so I'll have to rely on you to help me analyze it.

Fortunately, Xun Gongda was very cooperative, and immediately said: "If Sun Ce is in Danyang and Wubei, and wants to aid Yuan Shu, I expect him to be able to implement three strategies...... "First, cross the river to attack Guangling and force me to retreat; second, crossing the river from the vicinity of Zongyang and taking the nest, threatening Shu County and plotting to break the Lujiang River; Third, Chen Bing Niu Zhu responded to Yuan Shu's southward escape. ”

It was Xun Xun who followed Xun You's fingers, even looked at the measurements and added brain supplements, and finally figured out the basic line of the so-called "three strategies". He thought to himself that this map is really too bad, right? What is the difference between this and "a blind man riding a blind horse"? I hope I don't have to "go to the deep pool in the middle of the night" anymore.

It seems that I have read a lot of travel texts in the previous life, and the protagonist invented the contour map after passing back to ancient times...... I know this contour line, but how do I measure it? I didn't study at all as a poor liberal arts student!
