"Jia Rong, the army of Xiliang, is not something our army can resist now. We can only direct our troops at Yan Rou in Youzhou. Recently, we heard that there are many Wuhuan people in Youzhou rebelling. The troops are going back and forth in battles and the soldiers are exhausted. That's why
It's a great opportunity. If you can pacify Youzhou in one fell swoop, what will Cao Jun have to fear?" Xu You said.
Yuan Shao was about to finalize the case when Tian Feng advised him: "My lord, no! Yan Rou of Youzhou is an extraordinary person. He was able to defeat the tyrannical Gongsun Zan with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. His strategy and courage are evident. He sent troops rashly."
, it will definitely offend Yan Rou, so we need to plan carefully."
Xu You pointed at Tian Feng and scolded: "Master Tian, what do you mean? Could it be that my lord can't even defeat the little Yan Rou? Don't forget, if my lord hadn't sent troops to Youzhou, how could Yan Rou have done it?"
With the current situation, Yan Rou is nothing more than that. Gongsun Zan's strongest white horse Yi Cong has been wiped out in the hands of the lord, let alone him?"
Yuan Shao glared at Tian Feng with an unhappy look on his face and said: "In the coming days, we will gather one hundred thousand troops and march to Youzhou. We will order General Gao Lan to meet him in Zhuojun!"
"promise!"
After everyone left, Tian Feng looked up to the sky and sighed. The most unlucky thing under Yuan Shao's tent was that he got to know Xu You. He was narrow-minded and good at flattering people. Tian Feng looked down on him. Because of this, Xu You
You also opposed him in everything. What happened today, Xu You must have seen that Tian Feng's plan was to send troops instead of disarmament, but he immediately jumped out and blocked Tian Feng's words, causing Yuan Shao to misunderstand.
Unable to work together, Tian Feng even vaguely doubted whether such an army could last for a long time. However, it firmly occupied his thoughts from the beginning. Naturally, there was no talk of job-hopping. He could only do his best to assist Yuan Shao, hoping to be able to help Yuan Shao in You.
Gain advantage on the state's battlefield.
"Yuan Hao, don't worry about it. How can my lord be a narrow-minded person? Yuan Hao also thought about our army wholeheartedly about what happened today. If my lord thinks about it afterwards, he won't blame you." Jushou advised.
Both of these people have bad tempers and can't get rid of the dirt in their eyes, but their way of speaking is not as good as Xu You's, so if they have real materials, they are not as good as Xu You's treatment in the army.
Yuan Shao from Jizhou sent 10,000 troops to Qingzhou, and another 100,000 troops to Youzhou. The princes of the world started to move again, just because Jia Rong led his army to attack Bingzhou, and the situation in the world today is only temporarily stable, but any insightful person
, all began to plan for the aftermath. Since the Han Emperor was gone, the princes who were worthy of taking refuge would certainly have to think about it.
Let's say that Cao Cao attacked Pengcheng all the way. He saw that the soldiers were heavily guarded, and the general of the defender was Guan Yu. He had already made a plan in his mind. Guan Yu was a military general. As long as the soldiers came forward and cursed him, there was no need to worry that he would not go out of the city to fight. When the time came, he only needed to
As soon as the army covers up, they will be able to capture Guan Yu alive, and Pengcheng will be destroyed without an attack.
"Send a letter to invite the defenders in the city to fight!" Cao Cao said.
Guan Yu looked carefully at the invitation letter in his hand, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said angrily: "Cao Cao, you boy, you really think our army is easy to bully!"
Zhou Cang on the side advised: "General, please don't be angry. Cao Cao's army has 100,000 troops, while our defenders only have more than 30,000 troops. If they hold on to the city, Cao Cao's army will not be able to do anything. Cao Cao's move is just to anger the general and draw him out of the city."
It’s just a fight.”
Guan Yu glanced at Zhou Cang in surprise. He thought this man was a reckless warrior before, but he didn't expect him to be quite knowledgeable. "Zhou Cang, I order you to lead five thousand troops to guard Pengcheng until I win the battle."
Zhou Cang opened his mouth and waited for further persuasion. The general on the side touched him lightly and suddenly said: "Thank you for your trust, general. I will defend the city with all my heart in this lowly position and live up to the general's trust!"
Seeing Zhou Cang's interest, Guan Yu looked slightly happy and wrote a letter, agreeing on the time, place and number of people to invite the battle.
When two armies are fighting, in order to end the war as quickly as possible, they often use invitations to fight and find a place to resolve the battle. However, in this case, there will often be two sides of equal strength, with tens of thousands of troops dispatched and daily consumption of food and grass.
There were countless supplies, and the princes could not afford them.
But without enough strength, the weak will often rely on the city wall to fight with the strong. The art of war is to encircle ten. In other words, if you want to capture a strong city, you must have at least ten times the strength of the defenders to have a chance of winning. This is just
It's a theory of numbers.
The flags were fluttering, and the soldiers were thickly packed. The two sides dispatched 5,000 people at the same time to engage in battle. In this battle, the sky was dim, the ground was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, Cao's army was elite, and Xuzhou's army was also not bad, and the fierce general Guan Yu led it
.
On the battlefield, Guan Yu personally led hundreds of cavalry to attack Cao Jun. Like a sharp sword, he tore a large hole in Cao Jun and attacked the central army. In terms of strength, with the sword, Guan Yu's strength increased by more than one step.
Looking at Cao Jun, there are few opponents behind him.
The most important thing Cao Cao lacks is generals. If I can't defeat you with one, I can use two or even three, and I will drag you to death.
Cao Jun's central banner was right in front of him, but Guan Yu had to face the intrusion of three generals. These three men did not seek any merit, but just blocked Guan Yu and prevented him from advancing even an inch.
In terms of the strength of the soldiers, Cao Jun has always been stronger. On the battlefield, the two sides were fighting back and forth, but a closer look showed that Xuzhou Army was already at a disadvantage and was struggling to support Cao Jun's offensive.
, if Guan Yu had not led the army to charge here, the soldiers in the rear might have given up resistance. Unlike the Xiliang army, once the armies of the Central Plains princes were defeated, the soldiers would definitely want to escape immediately instead of fighting desperately to stay.
There is no need to worry about the lack of firewood in the green hills. The green hills of the soldiers are their strong bodies. As long as the people are still there, there is no need to worry about the lack of troops. This is why the princes of the Central Plains treat their soldiers so poorly. There are so many soldiers and they lack enough territory to rule.
, we can only start from the treatment of soldiers.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was anxious. The two sides had an agreement. This was a gentleman's battle. Cao Cao would definitely not cheat. What's more, there were 20,000 troops guarding Guan Yu's rear. How could he be afraid of Cao Cao?
With great courage, Guan Yu slashed three times with the Qinglong Yanyue sword in his hand. Pi Lian's sword flashed by, and the weapon in the hand of a general was broken, and he was also cut off his horse.
Seeing the death of their companion, the other two generals looked at Guan Yu with a hint of fear. The weapon in Guan Yu's hand was actually able to cut off the weapon in the hands of the general just now. What kind of magic weapon was needed to do this? The generals asked themselves:
Weapons cannot withstand such an attack.
With a little fear in his heart, he gave Guan Yu the opportunity to continue the charge, and resolutely led the cavalry to attack Cao's army. The flag was close at hand, and excitement flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. As long as the opponent's flag was cut down, the battle would be over.
Even if they win.
"Little Guan Yu, don't be so arrogant. Let's see your grandpa Xu come to meet you!" It was Xu Zhu, holding a long sword, who was charging at Guan Yu. Since the last time the military commander suffered a loss at the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao ordered the blacksmith to forge a fine
Weapons, the fierce general's weapons were changed again, which also made Xu Zhu's confidence soar.
Guan Yu's eyes tightened, and he swung the long knife in his hand towards Xu Zhu. It seemed light but actually contained great power.
Xu Zhu did not expect that Guan Yu would come up with such a move. In a hurry, he raised his sword to meet him. When he looked closely, there was a gap as big as a soybean on the blade. When he looked at the sword in Guan Yu's hand, one could imagine the burning in his eyes.
With a cold snort, Guan Yu gained the upper hand and continued to attack Xu Zhu. Each move was more powerful than the last, forcing Xu Zhu to retreat step by step. Cao Jun's central flag was also successfully captured by the charge of cavalry.
The victory was determined, and Guan Yu withdrew his troops with satisfaction!
Seeing that their own army had returned from the battle with Cao Cao's army with a great victory, all the defenders in Pengcheng rushed to tell each other. Even the people in the city burst into laughter after hearing the news. Cao Cao's style at the beginning made the people fearful. In troubled times, the people tried to
What he wanted was a stable life. When he saw Cao Cao coming, how could he not be afraid in his heart? Liu Bei also grasped this point and asked his men to publicize the brutality of Cao Jun and what he had done back then. Cao Cao's image in the hearts of the people of Xuzhou was naturally
It couldn't be worse. Although Cao Cao's army attacked Xuzhou this time, it was quite satisfactory and there was no drastic action. However, after being bitten by a snake and fearing well ropes for ten years, living under Cao Cao's rule made me feel a little uneasy.
Seeing Guan Yu return victorious, Zhou Cang's face looked a little ugly. What he said before was not right, and he didn't know how Guan Yu would think of him.
There was no look on Cao Cao's face that only a defeated person would have. Instead, he comforted Xu Zhu, "The sword in General Xu's hand was destroyed again. I will order someone to forge it again in the future. I heard that the weapon in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's hands came from Chang'an Craftsman's Workshop. Jia Rong and I
If it's old, maybe you can get one or two."
When the generals heard this, their eyes shone brightly. There is no general who does not love magic weapons. No matter how high Guan Yu's martial arts is, without the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, his martial arts will be greatly reduced. Once Guan Yu is blocked, the remaining soldiers of the Xuzhou Army will not be worried.
, today’s battle, the generals and officers of the army can clearly remember that they won the victory solely by virtue of Guan Yu’s bravery.
The failure of the first battle between the two armies seemed to have no impact on Cao Cao. His face still maintained a wise color, and his eyes were flowing and eye-catching. At this moment, Cao Cao was undoubtedly the most attractive, serious but not complacent.
Taking failure into consideration is the temperament a coach on the battlefield should have.
After everyone left, Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, Guan Yu has always been a strategic and calm man, will he be fooled?"
"Haha, how can we not be arrogant when the army wins? What's more, Liu Bei's army and our army have a great hatred. Guan Yu will definitely use all his strength to attack our army when he sees that there is something to be done." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Seeing that Cao Cao's analysis was reasonable, all the counselors in the tent came up with plans one after another. They began to plan for Cao Cao's plan. There were many differences from the one-man decision made by Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Under Cao Cao's command, as long as you have a plan, Cao Cao will give it to you.
Opportunities to perform, this is also the reason why Cao Jun has so many talents.
