Chapter 64
Touch the world
Now the situation is that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Yuan Shao is destined to not give up after he takes Hangu Pass. It is imperative to rush his army to enter Guanzhong.[]
Cao Cao is now in a difficult situation. Yuan Shao will not let him go before the end of the Guanzhong Battle. Cao Cao can understand Yuan Shao's intention, but he doesn't care.
He knew Yuan Shao so well that as long as Yuan Shao won, he would take precautions against him.
After Guo Jiayan and Yuan Shao won the battle, Cao Cao was in no danger at all.
If Yuan Shao could lose even if he had less than 60,000 soldiers and Guo Jia, he would have been so impressed by Yuan Shao that he would be so arrogant.
After all, it was when Hebei reversed Gongsun Zan's overlord. When the troops were balanced, the two sides were equally matched. If Yuan Shao was defeated, there was nothing to say. It could only be said that the other party was more skilled. However, if the other party had no advantage in time and place and had nearly twice the strength of the opponent, he could still lose this battle. Cao Cao not only despised Yuan Shao, but also despised the so-called Hebei generals and counselors under Yuan Shao.
The battle situation at Hangu Pass was not only the three princes in the battle, but almost all the princes in the world focused on this place.
Hangu Pass was captured by Zhang He, and when the battle report reached Wuguan, Ju Yi was depressed. He attacked Wuguan for several days, but was delayed and blocked by Pang Tong and Yan Yan with various means. Now the offensive and defensive battle in Wuguan is coming to an end, and Wuguan's various defensive measures have reached the point where the skills of the guarantors are exhausted. Now both sides are deciding victory or defeat with real swords and guns.
The remaining defenders of Wu Pass were less than 5,000, and Ju Yi had no choice. If Hangu Pass could be captured by Zhang He three days later, it would be obvious that Ju Yi could conquer Wu Pass one step ahead of Zhang He.
The war report of Hangu Pass also carried Yuan Shao's military orders. If Wu Pass had reinforcements from Guo Jia, Ju Yi withdrew his troops to Hangu Pass to join the army. If not, Ju Yi would take down Wu Pass and swept Guanzhong with Yuan Shao's north and south routes.
Looking at Wuguan in the flawed city of war and baptism, Ju Yi did not want to give up. The difference between winning Wuguan and not winning is the difference between having merit and not having merit.
After the soldiers were rested, Ju Yi planned to take down Wu Pass in one go. He hid his troops first, and it was time to come in handy.
Yan Yan and Pang Tong in Wu Pass also received the war report on the fall of Hangu Pass.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they did not abandon Wu Pass before Hangu Pass was occupied.
"Military advisor, for the sake of this plan, should we withdraw directly or delay for a few more days?"
Yan Yan asked Pang Tong for advice.
After thinking for a while, Pang Tong made a decision.
"Ju Yi must have received the battle report from Hangu Pass. If he does not lead his army north to join Yuan Shao today, he will have to work harder to attack the city. If he retreats, we will continue to stay at Wu Pass. If he attacks, he will succeed with a little resistance. Now, we should prepare to withdraw our troops first."
Yan Yan immediately went down to arrange military affairs.
On this day, the troops of the first climbed the deadly soldiers successfully rushed to the Wuguan city tower and proudly inserted the Yuan flag on the top of the city. Yan Yan and Pang Tong with more than 3,000 remaining troops evacuated Wuguan. After Ju Yi conquered Wuguan, he did not lead the army to pursue, nor did he lead the army to attack Chang'an.
After his investigation, the surrounding counties were deserted, and whether there were any defenders in the Sanfu Place where Chang'an was located was not enough. Ju Yi, who did not dare to come out of the pass and approach Chang'an. Because he was deeply afraid of Guo Jia's defense measures to lay down a strong wall and clear the fields in Guanzhong, he could only wait until Yuan Shao led his army to Tongguan before making the next plan.
Hangu Pass was broken and Wu Pass was lost again. The two great passes that resisted Guandong in Guanzhong instantly collapsed within three days. The Qinchuan was 800 miles wide and the horse was flat. Yuan Shao swept Guanzhong without any geographical barriers.
The war report at Hangu Pass was also introduced to Xu Du.
Xun Yu, who was in a heavy heart, was busy and forgot to eat and was devoted to serving the public. After reading the war report, he slapped the table and stood up. Cao Ren, who came to deliver the war report to him, looked at Xun Yu in surprise and looked at him in a state of uncertainty.
"The lord is in trouble"
...
After learning that Hangu Pass was broken, Liu Biao in Jingzhou was shocked, and his heart suddenly felt panic.
He urgently recruited counselors and generals to discuss matters, and Liu Biao paced back and forth, looking worried.
Guo Jia, Guo Jia, Guo Jia
Even if you lose all your wife, you can't leave Hangu Pass
Liu Biao was really afraid this time. He could not be afraid of Guo Jia, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, or Yuan Shao who only owned Hebei.
But
Once Hangu Pass was lost, Yuan Shao almost took Guanzhong
After Ji, Qing, You, Bing, Si, Liang, and Yuan Shao took over Guanzhong, he would have half of the country. The thirteen states in the world, and he had six states alone.
The most important point is that Yuan Shao's territory will border Jingzhou
Cao Cao issued a secret edict to ask Liu Biao to attack Yizhou, but Liu Biao refused.
When Yuan Shao stationed his troops in Luoyang, he also wrote a letter to Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to attack Yizhou. Liu Biao agreed, but he disobeyed him. He used the reason for preparing for the army to gather food, grass and supplies, etc. to delay the date of dispatching troops. The purpose was to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and let Guo Jia and Yuan Shao fight to the death. After Yuan Shao and Guo Jia both suffered losses, Yuan Shao retreated to Hebei, and it would be natural that Liu Biao did not send troops.
Now, the situation has completely changed after Hangu Pass was taken down by Yuan Shao.
Jingzhou is a territory that heroes who are determined to seize.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Guo Jia and others are all thinking about Jingzhou. If Yuan Shao has the chance, he will definitely covet Jingzhou.
Liu showed that he did not send troops. After Yuan Shao took Guanzhong in the future, he would foresee the attack.
At this moment, Liu Biao was really afraid of Yuan Shao from the bottom of his heart.
I'm afraid no one is afraid of a prince who has half of the country.
"What should I do now?"
Liu Biao was like an ant on the Heat, and he was in a hurry.
The civil and military officials in the hall looked calm and many people complained in their hearts.
Who told you to like to mix with the slut?
If you want to fight for the world, fight for it. If you don’t fight for the world, don’t occupy the fat piece of Jingzhou.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Guo Jia and other princes are all like wolves and tigers, and they wish they could swallow Jingzhou as soon as possible.
Is it urgent now?
Have you gone to work long ago?
Liu Biao actually didn't have many choices, three, help Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, help Guo Jia, and neutral.
The worst thing about maintaining neutrality is that both sides do not offend, which means that both sides do not please them.
Clutching in the gap and not wanting to win the battle, this is a typical example of waiting for death.
The generals had no idea, and the strategists remained silent.
After a while, no one expressed his opinions or suggestions. Liu Biao walked to Kuai Liang and frowned and asked what kind of tricks did Dao Zirou have?"
Kuai Liang's expression was faint and he spoke in eight words softly.
"Work the army north to get rid of firewood from the cauldron."
Everyone was stunned and shocked by Kuai Liang's plan at this time.
If Liu Biao dared to lead his army to Hangu Pass and attack Guo Jia from front to back, let alone let Yuan Shao defeat his intention to take Guanzhong, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would be 80% sure to ruin it.
This is really a waste of money
Kuai Liang's purpose is simple and clear.
Liu showed that he was afraid of Yuan Shao, so he could not help Yuan Shao to be strong. Suppressing Yuan Shao was the fundamental reason, and pleasing with him would only backfire.
No one in the world would have thought that Liu Biao would go north to cut off Yuan Shao's retreat at this time. It was not only unexpected, but also fatal. As long as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao died, Liu Biao would want to live a life in Jingzhou, which would definitely be easier than someone sleeping soundly beside the bed.
Liu Biao came to his senses, opened his mouth and closed it, and finally shook his head and said, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were ordered to attack Guo Jia. As a Han minister, how could I go against the emperor? It’s not appropriate, I’d better think of another way.”
Kuai Liang had no expression on Liu Biao's statement. In fact, these strategists were already numb to Liu Biao's missed opportunities again and again.
He sneered in his heart: The emperor's will? If the emperor's will was passed on to Jingzhou today, wouldn't the lord be right to the emperor?
The strategists did not say anything, so Liu Biao had to come and ask in person. If Liu Biao did not adopt Kuai Liang's plan, it would be difficult to continue asking Kuai Liang. He moved to Yiji's side. Liu Biao asked Ji Bo again if he couldn't help me with my worries?" He didn't jump.
Yi Ji was helpless. After sighing slightly in his heart, he said that the lord led his army to pretend to attack Jianping County, which can not only intimidate Guo Jia, but also make Yuan Shao think that the lord wants to use troops to Yizhou. This is a cheap plan. How will the situation change in the future? Let's wait and see if it changes before responding."
This is a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. As long as Yuan Shao occupied Sizhou and Liangzhou, Liu Biao will not have any concerns about whether he followed Yuan Shao's troops to advance westward today.
Liu Biao did not want to surrender to other princes and wanted to save acre of land. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
Looking at the founding kings of the Three Kingdoms, even if they were peaceful during their lifetime, they would give up their family business. Tao Qian, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, etc. This is from the overall perspective. If we analyze it from the details, Dong Zhuo wants to protect himself and Gongsun Zan wants to protect himself, they are all arrogant and they are free of worries for at least 30 years. What is the result?
One step determines the fate of a hero
Guo Jia's current situation is just like Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan now. One step forward and retreat is related to his life.
Liu Biao carefully considered Yi Ji’s suggestions and thought it was feasible.
No matter what, he did not want to offend Yuan Shao, nor did he want to offend Guo Jia. Guo Jia was defeated in Guanzhong and could still return to Yizhou. If he attacked Yizhou today, Guo Jia would definitely take revenge in the future and sent troops to pretend to be in Jianping County. Although he was suspected of taking advantage of the situation, he would not step into Yizhou. In fact, he would give Yuan Shao a vague explanation and did not really violate Guo Jia.
"Okay, Huang Zu, you will lead your army of 50,000 to Jianping County to set up camp, but you must not step into Badong."
After Liu Biao's military order was issued, Huang Zu left in a low mood.
The strategists left one after another.
The thoughts in their hearts are tacitly understood.
At this moment, Liu Biao led his army to surround Yuan Shao, without any worries, because Yuan Shu hoped that Yuan Shao would die quickly and would not obstruct Liu Biao. Guo Jia was in Guanzhong and Yizhou would not take the initiative to provoke a war with Jingzhou. Moreover, Liu Biao went to fight Yuan Shao, in disguise, was aiding Guo Jia.
As a result, Liu Biao was as compatible as ever, and his attitude was ambiguous among the princes.
God will lose his chance again and again, and God will be angry
Liu Biao's army moved, but Liu Biao didn't know what the consequences were, but it caused another situation that no one expected.
Zhang Baiqi of Fuling County.
