Long Xiang went back to the bedroom and lay on the bed, the excitement brought by the alcohol had not yet dissipated.

When I couldn't sleep, I looked at the roof and reviewed everything that had happened today.

In the morning, if Zhang Fei had not torn the opening, Long Xiang would have been confident of winning, but Hefei would have to pay more costs, the war time might also be extended, and the role of 10,000 enemies would be magnified at this moment.

In addition, for the first time, he commanded thousands of people in field battles, although Long Xiang took the lead and charged into battle, leading the three battalions to victory, but he found that he could not lead too many troops.

Thousands or 10,000 people can still cope with it, but too many troops will greatly weaken their control, and once there is a disadvantage or headwind in the war, it is very likely that they will lead their troops into the abyss of defeat because of their own lack of ability.

Like Han Xin, a commander who can command a large army is a scarce figure in every era, and even in the current era when Long Xiang is shining with stars, there are only a handful of people with this ability.

Long Xiang realized his shortcomings, so he thought about the future as little as possible to command the troops, if forced to go to the battlefield, it is best to be in the command of the middle army, and less to charge into the front army.

Without Zhang Fei's suppressive power, there is no need to take risks to boost morale, it is better to improve weapons and protective gear, so that the soldiers usually sweat more and bleed less now.

It is the professionalism of the project manager to be good at reviewing and introspecting more, and letting the people below perform their duties, so as to free their hands and control the overall situation.

Long Xiang was glad that he woke up early, and he didn't do anything beyond his ability in the future, he didn't want to be the next Sun 100,000, and he fell asleep happily after thinking about it.

At night, Long Xiang dreamed that Hefei New City had been built, and Sun Quan suddenly united with Cao Cao to attack from the north and south, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Hefei.

When the city was about to be breached, Sun Cao and the two sides suddenly had a dispute over the ownership of the second bridge.

Sun Quan wanted to divide it between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu instead, and Cao Cao said that they all wanted...

Call...

In the early morning, Long Xiang was sweating profusely and was awakened by a night dream.

Sitting on the bed panting, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead to his face.

I haven't had such a nervous dream for a long time, although the content of the dream is a bit exaggerated, but there is a small probability that it will happen.

Fortunately, it is now the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao has not yet unified the north, and Long Xiang still has time to make arrangements.

How can I sleep at such a young age? Long Xiang lifted the cool quilt and jumped down, put on his clothes and went straight to the main bookkeeper's mansion.

Long Xiang has been very busy recently, so he can't let Sun Quan be idle, he is now urging Lu Su to write a letter to stimulate Jiangdong to send troops to attack Li Shu as soon as possible.

If Sun Quan was too well prepared, Jiangdong's losses in the war would be small, which did not meet Long Xiang's expectations.

In fact, there is no need for Long Xiang's reminder, Sun Quan has long wanted to use Li Shu to establish his authority.

After receiving Yuan Shu's inheritance, Sun Quan secretly deployed to attack Lujiang, especially Li Shu's death of Yan Xiang, which accelerated the preparations. 33

The envoy sent to Xudu did not return for a long time, and Sun Quan did not know what Cao Cao meant, and he had prepared for the worst.

That is, if Yan Xiang's death was unclear and could not be relied upon, Sun Quan put the responsibility on the 'murderer' Chen Duan and escorted his family to Xu Du to wait for his fate.

Sun Quan didn't do this for a long time, because he considered the feelings of Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and others, he didn't want to chill the hearts of Huaisi's courtiers, and Lu Su's letter was like a rain in a long drought.

At the beginning of October, Sun Quan made a big move.

Changshi Zhang Zhao guarded the rear of Wu County, sent the central protector Zhou Yuping Danyang Shanyue rebellion, and transferred the veteran general Cheng Pu to garrison Dantu to defend Chen Deng, with Sun's descendants as the main and Yuan Shu's relics as the auxiliary, a total of more than 40,000 people took Anhui County directly by water.

Sun Quan was young and could not convince the public, so he led the three armies with Xu Kun, the general of the supervising army, and blocked the Yangtze River crossing in advance to prevent Jiangdong grain and grass from sending capital to the Lujiang River.

Li Shu has expanded frantically in the past six months, from the 3,000 defenders left to him by Sun Ce last year, which has directly expanded tenfold to more than 30,000 people.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, because Fu Yu was 'spreading false news' in Junxuan, which led to the beheading of his ally Zhang Duo and the capture of Lei Xu, which made Mei Cheng and other small forces in Huainan angry, and they all threatened to lead troops to Anhui County to ask for the guilt.

At this time, Li Shu is like a boxer who is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, on the surface, he is full of muscles, and he feels weak in his legs when he goes to the ring.

When he was embattled, Li Shu decisively sent people to surrender to Xu Du for help, but at this time Cao Cao was fighting a decisive battle in Guandu, and he had no time to pay attention to the fight between him and Sun Quan, including the number of envoys sent by Sun Quan who were stranded in Xu Du.

From July to September, during these 100 days, the battle in Guandu was fierce.

Hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other, attacking in a variety of ways every day, and skirmishes never stopped.

Cao Cao took the initiative to attack several times and was defeated, and then completely fell into passive defense, and the deep ditch and high base persevered every day.

Although it repelled numerous attacks by Hebei men and horses, the drought also affected the Yingchuan region, and Cao Cao's grain production in the Tuntian area was greatly reduced, and the grain and grass on the front line could not be sustained.

Yuan Shao had sufficient information, he knew that Yingchuan was suffering from drought, and he also knew that Cao Cao was seriously short of food, so he did not storm at any cost.

Yuan Shao planned to exhaust Cao Cao's food in Guandu, and then drive straight into Xudu.

Dragging down the economy step by step is the way Yuan Shao dealt with Gongsun Zhan, and now it is also used to deal with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's tenacity is beyond Yuan Shao's expectations.

While facing each other head-on, Yuan Shao did not sit in the camp and withered.

Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to infiltrate Runan in July and threaten Cao Cao's rear with Liu Pi, and Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to defeat him;

In August, Han Meng was sent to attack Xudu, and was defeated by firefighter Cao Ren at Jiluo Mountain...

Yuan Shao's various small actions of dividing the troops were all resolved by Cao Cao's moves, not to mention that he did not get any benefits during the period, and because Han Meng did not escort the grain trucks effectively, he was repelled by Cao generals Xu Huang and Shi Lian, which also directly caused the shortage of food for the Yuan army.

Although Hebei had sufficient money and food, the Yuan army penetrated deep into the enemy territory at this time, and the total strength was several times that of Cao's army, and the grain road was long and the loss was large, and there was a risk of food shortage after a long time.

Although both families are short of food, the situation is the same for both families.

Yuan Shao has food and can't transport it, while Cao Cao has no grain to transport it to the front line, and Cao Cao will be defeated if it is consumed for a long time.

At the beginning of October, Cao Cao's army had bottomed out in food, so he falsely claimed that half a moon could break Yuan Shao, and forcibly drew a big pie to delay.

If they don't stabilize the morale of the army in this way, the soldiers will not be able to hold on.

Yuan Shao can't be broken in half a month, and Cao's army will also collapse due to food exhaustion.

After Cao Cao ran out of moves, he could only choose to gamble and ask the sky for luck.

Cao Cao's bet came to Xu You.

Gambling on the news of Yuan Shao's shortage of military rations, and gambling on the opportunity that Yuan Jun only had one grain storage point left in Wuchao.

Yuan Shao was clear about Cao Cao's lack of food, but Cao Cao didn't know anything about how much Yuan Shao had in stock, and the two sides made judgments on intelligence work.

If it weren't for Xu You's defection, Cao Cao wouldn't have even figured out the situation, and he wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to change his fate.

In the first half of Cao Cao's life, he made countless mistakes, but he was secretly favored by God and blessed him with luck.

In mid-October, Cao Cao left Cao Hong and Xun Yu to guard the official crossing Dazhai, and personally led 5,000 elites to pretend to be Yuan's army to attack Wuchao.

At the critical moment, Cao Cao took his fate into his own hands.

Some people died, but not completely......
