"Book of Wei" Pei Songzhi is sparse:

""Offering the Emperor Spring and Autumn" contains Shixun saying Taizu Yun: 'Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows that Han Zu is only wise, and although Xiang Yu is strong, he will eventually be a bird. Xun steals the material, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, although Shao is strong, he can't do anything. Shao Fan, etiquette and etiquette, the public body is natural, this way is better than one; Shao to reverse, the public to lead the world, this righteousness is better than two; At the end of the Han Dynasty, the government was lost in the leniency, and Shao was lenient and wide, so it was not deterred, and the public correction was fierce, and the upper and lower knew the system, and the rule of the three was also ......'

"The battle of Ranguandu, is Xun in Hedong, or out of Taiyuan, An Dezhi and Taizu Yan? Or the cloud book is also paid. However, when Cao Bing was strong, no less than Hebei, and what he said was that he was weak and strong, and he was not a fool. Its misinterpretation is also clear. ”

Of course, Pei Songzhi didn't know that in the timeline before Shixun crossed over, this "ten wins and ten defeats" was from Guo Jia's words, and Hongfu just copied it. It's just that on this timeline, Guo Fengxiao's head did not enter the water, and he never said such a thing, and the reason is just as Pei Songzhi analyzed: the whole paragraph is saying that the weak can defeat the strong, and Cao Cao's determination to resist Yuan must be strengthened, but when Guandu was in charge, Cao Cao was not necessarily weaker than Yuan Shao.

In the timeline that Pei Song did not know, the battle between Yuan and Cao began in February of the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in February 200 AD, when Yuan Shao marched to Liyang, first made Yan Liang cross the river, and attacked Liu Yan in Baima. In April, Cao Cao personally rescued Yan Liang, and then moved the people of Baima to retreat west. Yuan Jun Chinese ugly, Liu Bei chased after him, and Cao Cao broke the text ugly in Yanjin. At the end of August and the beginning of September, the main force of Yuan's army advanced straight and fought against Cao's army at Guandu. Held together for more than a month. Until Xu Yu surrendered to Cao. Cao Cao led the army to attack Wuchao and burned the grain of Yuan's army. Yuan Shaoqian took Cao Ying, the grain was also broken, Zhang He and Gao Ran defected, so they were defeated, and his son Yuan Tan led 800 light horsemen to cross the river and escaped. The war came to an end.

In this timeline, the Great War began in the first month of the fourth year of Jian'an (198 AD), when Yuan Shao marched to Liyang. At the same time, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei attacked Lang Evil - Cao Cao made Zang Ba and Xu Huang Yuzhi. In February, Zhao Rong and Xiahou Yuan led an army to rescue Liu Yan and repelled Yan Liang, but then Xuan was defeated by Yuan Shao and retreated to Yan County. Cao Cao personally led a large army to respond, but was frustrated in Suojube, so he built a fortress in Guandu, and the two armies confronted each other. At the beginning of April, it was Xun who entered Taiyuan and took its five counties. Returning from the loot, Gao Gan chased to Yong'an.

At the same time. Cao Cao summoned Cao Ren to Hanoi to defend Guandu, and Yuan Shao also transferred the soldiers and horses in the rear to the front line one after another, and the approximate ratio of troops between the two sides was 90,000 Cao troops and 100,000 Yuan troops, which were basically evenly matched.

Frustrated, Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao, didn't we originally say it well, "gradually camp Henan", why do you want to confront Cao Cao in Guandu? Hebei has been in war for many years, Gongsun Chan has not been completely pacified, the grain is insufficient, the soldiers are defeated, and now the army does not have much advantage, and it is difficult to win in a decisive battle. But Guo Tu and Xin Ping said: "Before Yu sour jujube bowed to Cao Cao, our army was vigorous, and we took advantage of the victory to smash its heart, and it was expected to be defeated." The soldiers of Cao are equal to me, and those who retreat to Guandu and dare not come to scratch have become frustrated. Wenqingzhou (Yuan Tan) was under Kaiyang, and the state (Gaogan) was defeated between Qi County, if the two lost, I will retreat without a fight. But know that the opportunity cannot be lost, the time cannot be moved, and when the opportunity is lost, it will be defeated, how can it not move forward? ”

The previous battle of Sujube greatly encouraged Yuan Shao's ambition, and he thought that the Hebei soldiers were extremely sharp and Cao Cao was difficult to resist, so he was forced to build a fortress in Guandu to defend. Therefore, Yuan Shao rejected the correct opinions of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and attacked Guandu Cao Lei with his army. Tian Feng refused to obey the bitter advice, and uttered resentful words, but was detained and imprisoned by Yuan Shao.

The two armies fought against each other from mid-April to early May, and Guo Yuan, the Taishou of Shangdang, was ordered to cross Taihang and go south to Hanoi, wanting to scratch the back of Cao's army, but Zhong Xuan and Li Tong rejected them from Shenkou and Yewang. Yuan Shao was in Guandu, raised the earth mountain in the camp, built a high oar, and fired thousands of arrows at once, shooting Cao Ying, and Cao's army went out of the tent to draw water, but they were all forced to cover with wooden shields, and the wounded were very serious. Hebei's archers and crossbowmen are famous, when they broke Gongsun Zhan's cavalry with a strong crossbow at the boundary bridge, so Yuan Shao saw this, and was full of confidence, calling for the army to cut off three feet of rope, and when the official crossing was broken, everyone could capture Cao Cao.

Corresponding to Yuan Jun's strong crossbow, Cao Cao finally launched the "Thunderbolt Car", which had just been developed, that is, the improved manpower stone throwing car. However, unlike the thunderbolts in the original history, what was ejected was not a stone pellet, but a clay pot made of gunpowder and grease - it was Xun who could come up with a rocket because of the insight of later generations, but Cao Cao could only develop gunpowder weapons along the old idea of "firecrackers".

In an instant, countless lit clay pots flew towards Yuan Ying, either on the ground and burned, or burst in the air, porcelain pieces flew sideways, flames jumped in all directions, although the lethality was quite limited, this momentum was too amazing, and Yuan Jun was in chaos in an instant. Cao Cao then opened the gate of the wall, waved his army to cover up and kill, Yan Liang and Wen Chou died on the battlefield, Zhang He and Gao Ran were defeated and surrendered, Tian Feng was bound in captivity, and scolded Cao Cao, so he was killed by Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao fled to the sour jujube first, and then led 800 horsemen across the river and escaped. Cao Cao rushed to attack the sour jujube for the twelfth, frustrated and stubbornly defended it, and Cao's army lost thousands of dollars and could not be defeated. So Cao Cao wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, and replied in frustration: "It's a pity that my plan was not granted, and the will of heaven is there." However, the public will retire within three days, and he will surrender to Ye? ”

Cao Cao was convinced and was shocked. The next day, there was a quick Ma to report, Dao Liu Beijian Dao Jiujiang, united with Hefei Yuan Shu, Jiangdong Sun Ce, and openly set off an anti-flag. This scared Cao Cao a lot, and he quickly retreated, with Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard, and went to rescue Shouchun first.

The battle of Guandu ended with the defeat of Yuan Shao, but the dispute between Yuan and Cao was in the ascendant......

The above situation was reported to Xun in early and mid-May, and at this time, Gao Gan had already taken the initiative to retreat. It was the commander and chief of the four counties including Pingyang that Xun restored, and appointed Jia Qu as the governor of the northern part of the country, and the president was in charge.

What makes him more big is the problem of the Huns, it is impossible for him to attack and merge with the state for a second time in a short period of time, so it is impossible to sprinkle Hu Chu Spring and they will die again, and they will die. Shi Xun had no choice but to let them continue to camp on the border line between Hedong and Taiyuan for the time being, and all the grain and grass should be supplied by the county.

This time, he plundered the five counties of Taiyuan. I grabbed a lot of supplies and came back. Plus what the Huns grabbed in the West River. There is no problem at all in raising them for half a year. Hu Chuquan and the family members of Qubei were all sent back to them, but the rest of the Hu people's families were still detained, in addition, the golden seal of "Heaven Descended from the Seal", Shi Xun also stayed to play with himself for the time being.

arranged all this, and at the same time left Cao Xing and Guo Yi also stationed in Pingyang County to monitor each other. So he led the rest of his army back to Anyi in triumph. Before leaving, Jia Qu asked how to deal with the Xiongnu women and children who stayed in the four counties, and Shi Xun waved his hand: "The people are as good as the Han people." After finishing and encouraging Jia Qu in a low voice: "I will play the Son of Heaven and ask for the position of captain of the Huns for the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Qi is reluctant." Jia Qu was overjoyed and said goodbye.

Shihoon is now waiting for more detailed news from the southeast, and is watching the development of the battle situation. Lu Su wrote to him and said: "It's a pity that Yuan Shao was not able to break in one fell swoop, and he was still based in Henan, and it was delayed for a long time. It's not good for me. If the lord can quickly destroy Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, if Chen Yuanlong can refuse Sun Ce on the river. Reflexively can sweep Qingzhou and covet Jizhou, if not, the war will be endless. ”

Shi Xun himself has also discussed the situation in the Central Plains with Sima Yi, Zhang Ji, Guo Huai and others many times, and the views of the big guys are similar to Lu Su's. Although Guandu won, the main force of the Yuan family is still there, and it is likely that the strategy will shrink from now on and focus on internal affairs. Therefore, Cao Cao must solve the problem of the southern front as soon as possible, and then send troops to the north - the first target must be Qingzhou, and it is also likely that troops will be sent from Hedong and Hanoi, and through the annexation of Zhou, to threaten the flank of Jizhou.

When Shi Xun heard this, he pretended to nod his head again and again: "What Qing and others said is true, and I also mean this in my heart." In fact, his mind was full of the battle of Guandu in the original history, and he was completely caught off guard by the fact that the real battle of Guandu was like this time, and he really couldn't figure it out for a while. However, compared with what Lu Su, Sima Yi and others said, he understood everything:

In the original history, the battle of Guandu was defeated by the weak, and since then the situation between Yuan and Cao has taken a big turn. However, the Yuan family still occupied the land of Sizhou after all, and Cao Cao didn't dare to kill it directly for a while, if Yuan Shao hadn't suddenly swallowed his breath at this juncture, Hebei didn't know how long Lu Dao could last. In today's timeline, Guandu started fighting two years in advance, if Yuan Shao's lifespan remains the same, it means that he still has about four years to live, can he reunite people's hearts and restore his strength, it is really a matter of not being able to keep it.

Therefore, taking advantage of your illness and wanting your life, Cao Cao must solve the problem of the southern front as soon as possible, turn around, and deal a heavy blow to the Yuan family. In fact, in the original history, Liu Bei also made trouble with Cao Cao after the official crossing, and history proves that as long as Cao Cao personally led the troops to go, Uncle Liu Huang would inevitably be blind, and now it is useless to add Yuan Shu with dry bones in the tomb. But the problem is that Sun Ce is still alive, or he can echo the north and south, I am afraid that it will be a big disaster......

Speaking of "Little Overlord", when will you die? Xu Gongmen, hurry up!

Although he returned to Anyi, this recruitment and training could not be stopped, and when Cao Cao solved the problem in the south, he would move his army to the north, and he was likely to be ordered to conquer and annex the state again. But this time he was much more down-to-earth than when he first arrived in Anyi, he had already recruited some soldiers and horses, and there were Southern Xiongnu who could be used as gunmen, and he also collected more than 1,000 Yanmen soldiers. If Cao Ren can echo each other in Hanoi, the two armies will move forward and directly kill Jinyang and expel Gao Gan, then it will not be difficult.

He felt that as long as Cao Cao didn't fight too ugly on the southern front, even if he couldn't solve the problem for a while, he would send himself, Cao Ren or Zang Ba north to put pressure on the Yuan family, and the time was likely to be around the autumn harvest. Therefore, in the past few months, I must take advantage of the internal affairs to rectify the internal affairs and accumulate grass and grain for the next big war.

At this time, it was Xun who was full of confidence, and no longer regarded the battlefield as a fearful path - I fought very well a while ago. So what's so hard about fighting? I just need to concentrate on the generals, with Zhongda here, with Boji here, and other idle high-ranking people, how can I be my opponent? Well, Meng De sent me to Hedong, and I really know people and are good at it!

But he didn't expect that this battle would no longer be his turn to fight...... (To be continued......)
