Chapter 826: Each has its own strategy
Yuan Shao, the former overlord of the North, sat on the land of Hebei Qingyou and Sizhou, and the hero Cao Cao was out of breath, and once wanted to give up, this person's brilliance is so dazzling, but the reality is cruel, because of Zhang Fan's relationship, he did not go to Jizhou from Han Fu's hands, and only gave him a scarred Qingzhou, and Tian Feng and other strategists, Zhang Jaw Gaolan and other generals also belonged to Zhang Fan, Yuan Shao's power can be said to be very different from history, too much worse!
The overlord of the Northland, it seems that only Zhang Fan and Cao Cao can compete for this title!
Now Yuan Shao was sad all day long, he stood on the city wall, looked at Cao Cao's camp not far away, did not speak for a long time, and finally only let a long sigh pass away with the wind, showing his unwillingness.
Born ahead of one's time? Or is it bad luck? Who knows!
One more person is one more variable, who can't predict that things will change like this, and the person who hugs the wrong thigh is destined to only wash his face with tears.
After a day's rest, Cao Cao came to the city again, and Yuan Shao came face to face, Yuan Shao looked at the friend in front of him who had been "mixed" together since childhood, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, the troubled times are so cruel, people who are close to each other for the sake of territory and resources may turn against each other, and those who become big things are not informal!
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and suddenly smiled: "Brother Benchu, you and I wouldn't be like this, why don't you choose to surrender?" I'm going to treat you as a guest! ”
Yuan Shao's gaze contracted, people with the heart of a king and a tyrant would not send people to the fence until death, just like Liu Bei and Sun Ce in history, these two people are typical representatives, they have all been down, they have been displaced, and they have been under the command of many people, but in the end they still stand on their own, how can a tiger become a family dog?
"Cao Mengde, I treat you well, why are you treacherous and draw your sword against each other?" Yuan Shao was angry, he knew that he shouldn't be angry, this was a childish expression, but he still couldn't help it.
Cao Cao smiled, it didn't seem that life and death were relative, but two friends were talking, and the depth of the city was shocking.
"I have already said before, I will attack whoever you and Brother Feng send troops first, and in the end, you will attack first, so I lead the army to attack, how can I say that I am treacherous?" Cao Cao said.
The anger in Yuan Shao's chest was even stronger: "I didn't launch a big army, everything is the trick of that villain in the turmoil, how can Brother Meng De not know?" ”
Cao Cao shook his head: "Right and wrong have their own judgment, everyone in the world clearly understands, why do you have to quibble?" The big husband dares to be bold, how can you be a champion like you? Plainly laughed at by the world! ”
"Cao Mengde, I think you are really shameless! Any excuse can be found! Yuan Shao was furious: "If you want to take away my Qingzhou, then let the horse come!" It is not yet known who killed the deer! ”
Yuan Shao knew that no matter how he explained, it was just in vain, Cao Cao had already come to this point, and he was obviously already iron-hearted, and if he said more, he would be suspected of showing weakness, which was not good for the army's morale, so if he wanted to fight, he would fight!
Cao Cao sighed when he heard this: "Why don't you and my brother stop here? I'm still the same, as long as you're willing to surrender......"
"Hugh has to say more!"
Before Cao Cao's words could speak, he was rudely interrupted by Yuan Shao: "Today, you and I will break off our righteousness, and we will decide life and death on the battlefield!" ”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed: "Since the first brother is so ruthless, then don't blame me for being unrighteous!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his big hand, and suddenly a military general walked out of the army, with a tiger's back and a big knife in his hand, it was the fierce general Xiahoudun!
Xiahoudun came to the front of the formation and roared: "Who dares to fight with me!" ”
This sound is like a dragon's roar, the shaking heaven and earth tremble, the posture of the fierce general is undoubtedly revealed, Yuan Shao's face is extremely ugly, he is short of fierce generals in the army, otherwise why not stop here?
Yuan Shao looked around, there were many generals around him, but they were not particularly powerful, Gao Gan's strength was good, but obviously he would not be Xiahoudun's opponent, who would he send to fight? Whoever goes dies!
"If Tai Shi Ci is here, what is the point of just one Xiahou Dun?" Yuan Shao sighed, he was heartbroken for the death of Tai Shi Ci, which was the only invincible general in his army, but he was assassinated by Zhang Fan's design, and there was a lack of generals in the army, which was also one of the reasons why he lost consecutive battles later, otherwise if Tai Shi Ci was here, even if he was defeated, he would not have been defeated so badly.
It was impossible to fight, and Yuan Shao could only roar: "Hugh the courage of the horseman!" I'm waiting for you in this city, and I'll come if I want to attack it. ”
A rain of arrows shot back Xiahoudun, Yuan Shao chose to avoid the battle, and his morale dropped a lot uncontrollably, but this is also something that can't be helped, otherwise once the fight will be defeated, he will only lose more.
Cao Cao smiled coldly, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city, and instead looked at Guo Jia and the other strategists: "What do you think the princes should do?" ”
Cheng Yu was decisive and said categorically; "Yuan Shao's army has been defeated in successive battles, its morale has long been low, and its army is not well trained, it will definitely not be the opponent of our army, when Beihai City is captured in one go, Yuan's army will definitely be defeated for thousands of miles, and it will no longer have the courage to face the battle!"
Cao Cao nodded, this is a very good method, although it seems to be reckless, but in fact it is wise and foolish, aiming to crush Yuan Shaojun's confidence and fighting spirit, as long as he can capture Beihai City, Yuan Shao will definitely have no courage to fight, Qingzhou is just around the corner!
No stratagem, sometimes it's the best stratagem!
Xun Yu and the others nodded, expressing the same opinion, this is the royal way to use soldiers, sweeping all the way, and defeating the enemy!
Guo Jia had a different opinion, he said: "Although Yuan Shao's military strength is weak, but the number is there, the high walls of Beihai City are thick, and the casualties will be too large if you attack it, in my opinion, it is better to follow the chaotic tactics, avoid the real and make a mistake, bypass Beihai City, and attack the rest of the cities in its rear first, firstly, it can cause great psychological pressure on Yuan Shao, and secondly, it can also cut off his grain route!" ”
Cheng Yu shook his head when he heard this: "I have also thought about Fengxiao's idea, it does make sense, it is a good move, but there are also omissions!" ”
Seeing that everyone looked willing to hear the details, Cheng Yu continued: "Now Yuan Shao is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and his combat power is weak, if he attacks strongly, it is easy to defeat him, but if he attacks in a way that avoids the real and makes the false, it may be self-defeating!" ”
"With Yuan Shao's current strength, it is not enough to fight us head-on, one of the reasons is that he has fewer troops in Beihai City, and the gap between Su zhì is too big to form a crushing situation, but he still has a total of four or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, but we only have 160,000 people, although these are elite troops, but if Yuan Shao is determined to fight a decisive battle, they will fight on both sides, I am afraid we will not be able to please!"
"Besides, if Yuan Shao knows that he is invincible, and we are persecuting too much, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not jump off the wall in a hurry, if he ignores it and directly launches a fierce attack in the direction of Rencheng County, then our army will not be able to rescue, but will be cut off from the grain road, which is very unwise!"
"The most critical point, if we force him to a dead end, he may ask for help from Fengyun Chao, the strength of the Jizhou army is almost the same as ours, if we really help him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us! So now we can only concentrate our forces to capture Beihai City in one fell swoop, cut off one of his delusions, and use the royal road to make sure that we are foolproof! ”
Cheng Yu's statement moved Cao Cao, especially the last sentence, which seems to be fantastical, but it is not impossible!
There are no eternal friends in the troubled times, and of course there are no eternal enemies, the only thing you care about is whether the price you pay is high enough, if Yuan Shao really jumps over the wall in a hurry and promises heavy profits to Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan may not really help, and then he will be miserable, in a dilemma!
Cao Cao was a little shaken, but Guo Jia was very resolute, his ideas were wild, contrary to the "royal road" art of war of Cheng Yu Xun Yu and others, and he always won with the word "strange", although it was dangerous and dangerous, but it could be realistic, and it could be described as unique.
He said: "It's true, but Yuan Shao has sent a letter to Yuan Shu in Huainan asking for help, the two of them are a family, so at the juncture of life and death, Yuan Shu will definitely come to help, it takes time for us to storm Beihai City, once Yuan Shao runs away, he can lead the rear soldiers and horses to defend the city, we will spend a lot of time to push all the way down, if Yuan Shu successfully arrives, the situation may change again, the night is long and dreamy, it is better to take a risk!" ”
Guo Jia would never say something he was not sure of, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Does Fengxiao have a plan?" ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yuan Shao has two generals under him, the God of War and the Blood Spirit!" These two people were folk knights earlier, and they had intended to take refuge in the lord, but they were rejected by the lord, so they took refuge in Yuan Shao, and now that Yuan Shao is in decline, the two must have two hearts, if the lord goes to recruit him, it must be a big help! ”
He said: "These two people have an army of 200,000 under their command, and they are guarding the city in the rear, if they can surrender, the lord will add 200,000 help, and they can also get the city without bloodshed, and then use superior forces to attack the Beihai of the lonely city in turn, won't they be captured?" ”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he didn't want to recruit those so-called "folk knights", but now is a special period, the god of war and blood have great strategic value, if they can be recruited, the entire Qingzhou will be equivalent to falling into Cao Cao's hands, which can save a lot of trouble.
"Will these two surrender?" Cao Cao muttered.
Guo Jia smiled casually: "There is a seventy percent possibility!" These folk chivalrous people are the most swaying, their hearts are disloyal, Yuan Shao's demise is imminent, they have an enmity with the chaos, the only way out is to take refuge in the lord, as long as the lord can exert a little pressure, the grace and power are used, and great things can be expected! ”
Cao Cao nodded heavily, the players actually have no loyalty at all, they always say that the world is the biggest, and they have to be loyal to the NPC when they play a game? There is no such statement at all!
In the end, Cao Cao still adopted Guo Jia's strategy, although he didn't trust the player, but the top priority was to seize Qingzhou as much as possible, and when the time came, he was on guard and even waited for leisure, he was very confident in himself, even if the god of war and blood spirit had different intentions, they couldn't turn over any storms, just like Liu Cong, the Jingzhou Mu who surrendered in history, and it was directly overhead, and it was up to the follow-up of the two of them.
In this regard, Cao Cao left a group of soldiers and horses to monitor the movement of Beihai, and he led the army around Beihai City and marched to the rear!
