Cao Cao defeated Yang Feng and Han Xian, and led his army to Xuchang smoothly.
After returning to Xuchang, Cao Cao immediately began to change the imperial court and consolidate the power of Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Dong Cheng and other 12 people who moved the capital with Cao Cao and Taiwei Yang Biao were named lieutenants. Cao Cao proclaimed himself a general, Wupinghou.
Yu, Guo Jia, and Xun You all held important positions. Cheng Yu was appointed as the order of Dongping, Dong Zhao was appointed as the order of Luoyang, and Man Chong was appointed as Xudu.
The other orders, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, etc., each held important positions in the army. Among them, Dong Zhao was appointed as the order of Luoyang, which was obviously for me. Cao Cao used Luoyang as his old capital and included Luoyang under his control.
In the system where the emperor ordered the princes, there was a legitimate opportunity to appoint the Luoyang order. After the appointment was completed, Cao Cao ordered Cao Cao to
Ren led five corps of cavalry, infantry and archers each to escort Dong Zhao to Luoyang to take office. My method for this was also very simple. In addition to continuing to let Jia Xu and General Wuhu stationed in Luoyang with 15 imperial guards.
, Luoyang leading to the borders of various counties have all been blocked by me. At the same time, I have stationed 10 troops each at Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass.
The contact between Cao Cao and Cao Ren was cut off. After the layout was completed, I cut off all military supplies from Cao Ren's army, and at the same time sent troops to put Dong Zhao under house arrest. 15 armies have guarded the strategic key points of Luoyang, and at the same time, I also sent Yang Feng and Han Siam to lead five troops each.
An army was stationed outside Luoyang City. This situation of internal cooperation and external cooperation put Cao Ren into a desperate situation.
After a stalemate for half a game day, I released Dong Zhao from house arrest and ordered him to go back and report to Cao Cao that the land in Luoyang was barren and the people were poor and could not support his army of tigers and wolves. Now Cao Ren was starving to death. And so
At this time, two major events happened, forcing Cao Cao to
Cao Cao had to evacuate Cao Ren from Sizhou. The first major event was that Li Jue and Guo Si captured Dongjun and Puyang. The other major event was that Yuan Shu dedicated Nanyang to me. Readers have already read a little about Li Jue and Guo Si.
I understand, here I need to talk about Yuan Shu.
It turned out that Cao Cao's decision to move the capital to Xuchang reached Yuan Shu's ears, and Yuan Shu immediately began to have a big headache. Now his Nanyang is surrounded by me and Cao Cao Liu Biao. If he doesn't make a decision early, I'm afraid he will be trapped in Nanyang for the rest of his life. So.
Yuan Shu decided to develop in Huainan. When he left, Cao Cao sent troops
When returning to Yanzhou to Luoyang, Cao Cao had no time to deal with him at this time, so it was safer to leave. Before leaving, Yuan Shu knew that Nanyang could no longer be defended, so it was best to use it as a favor. But Yuan Shu was not interested in handing Nanyang to Cao Cao, Liu Biao and
I, for one, have always been undecided. So I had to ask Ji Ling.
Ji Ling thinks that Nanyang should be handed over to me. This is because although Yuan Shu is going to Huainan to develop, he is still bordering Cao Cao and may be attacked at any time. If Nanyang is handed over to Cao Cao, it will be easier for Cao Cao to let him
We have a kind of interlocking posture with me, and we can move around easily. Once the two
If we give Nanyang to Liu Biao, Liu Biao will not be a threat to Cao Cao. Only if Nanyang is given to me, Sizhou and Nanyang will be like a tiger's mouth.
It also poses a threat to Yuzhou. When Cao Cao has no time to take care of himself, Yuan Shu will be much safer.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed and followed Ji Ling's plan. Xingye sent someone to contact me to offer Nanyang. Of course I accepted the order and immediately sent Wu Qi as the leader to lead 20 Xiliang troops to attack Nanyang and handle the handover with Yuan Shu's left-behind officials.
.Nanyang fell into my hands and was temporarily guarded by Wu Qi, Cao E, and Cui Yong.
Cao Cao was furious about this. I had originally made Cao Ren very unhappy when I surrounded him in Luoyang. Now that I have occupied Nanyang, I have even offended him. This is unbearable. But with the defeat of Dongjun and Puyang
When the news came, Cao Cao had to face reality.
It turned out that after Cao Cao appointed Cheng Yu as the Dongping Order, he ordered Xiahou Dun to lead 15 troops to Dongping to guard with him. Li Jue and Guo Si had already arrived in Dongping at this time, and took advantage of the night surprise attack to capture Dongping County. Dongping County was very rich and could support the army.
Li and Guo needed military supplies. But Li
After Guo and I made a plan, they knew that Dongping could not be defended, so they immediately launched a recruitment and massacre in Dongping. Dongping County was completely plundered, and Li and Guo raised thirty troops and rushed towards Puyang. At this time, Puyang City was only
Got 10 troops to defend. Although Dongping was occupied
However, they did not expect that the rebels would come so quickly. There were no generals in the city, so Li and Guo drove out the new army and forced their way in. Although they lost 20 troops, they also recruited 3 of Cao's troops and the remaining 7.
Cao's army was killed in battle. In addition, when Dongping was captured,
They also received the surrender of 4 armies. The coalition forces of Li and Guo have expanded to 37 armies. And 27 of them have strong combat effectiveness. Puyang, as a state city, is richer than Dongping. Another 50 troops were recruited by Li and Guo.
The strength of the army is 87 in total.
However, it was said that Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun were furious when they heard that Li Jue and Guo Si had conquered Dongping. They marched in a hurry to seek revenge on Li Jue and Guo Si. When they arrived at Dongping, they saw only the dilapidated empty city and had to stay in the city. During the process, they found several victims of the disaster.
The people of Yu Sheng provided the news that Li Jue and Guo Si were attacking Puyang.
Xiahou Dun was shocked and hurriedly sent troops to rescue Puyang. By this time, Puyang had already been captured, and Xiahou Dun's march was discovered by Li Guo. Li Jue and Guo Si, who originally planned to get a vote and leave, decided to report Cao Jun's presence.
To take revenge from Luoyang, he immediately led 87 troops to set up ambushes along the road and absorb them.
The lesson of the Battle of Luoyang was that the new army rebelled on the battlefield. This time, all the armies were mixed. Each army used the strength of the original 20 armies as a team to forcibly high-pressure the new army. The new army could not be connected, so there was no way to rebel before the battle.
opportunity. However, Xiahou Dun’s 15 armies did not
He accidentally fell into an ambush by 87 armies of Li Jue and Guo Si. After a hard battle, Xiahou Dun escaped with only one army of cavalry. The Li and Guo coalition won a great victory and received the surrender of 10 armies. Four of them
There were three corps each of infantry, cavalry and archers. Cao's army of another four corps died in the battle.
After this battle, Li Jue and Guo Si decided to adjust their strategy. Now they have 97 armies, and after the Yanzhou Army was wiped out 20 armies, there are only 30 armies, distributed throughout Yanzhou. Li Jue and Guo Si decided to send 5 armies to one side
The Xiliang army was looking for a place to stay in Qingzhou, and by the way, they were locating the military supplies plundered from Dongping and Puyang.
After being put aside, the remaining 82 armies rushed to all parts of Yanzhou with lightning speed, taking over counties and counties, expanding their troops, and plundering military supplies. By the time Cao Cao received the news, the entire Yanzhou had been plundered by Li and Guo.
Once empty, Li and Guo expanded their strength to 150 troops and planned to stay in Yanzhou.
But it was only at this time that Li Jue and Guo Bang planned to stay, which was obviously a loss. Because they had completely destroyed Yanzhou, which was obviously detrimental to their subsequent development. But they themselves may not feel a loss. After all, they have been
This is how we came here. Previously, we had the whole country in our hands and no one knew how to show sympathy, let alone the little Yanzhou.
As for Cao Cao, if what Yang Feng and Han Xian brought him was shame and humiliation, and what I brought to him was nameless anger, what Li Jue and Guo Si brought to him was a sea of blood and hatred. After all, until now, except for Lu Bu, no one has
able to start from
He ate his territory in his mouth. The war between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, as well as Cao Cao's first attack on Xuzhou, were briefly mentioned in this script for the sake of compactness. The detailed war process will be unfolded in the next script.
So after receiving the news that Li Jue and Guo Si invaded Yanzhou, Cao Cao had to put down Sizhou and Nanyang and start to concentrate on dealing with these two people. After all, Yanzhou is his home base, and his family has been taken advantage of, so he must say this.
.
It's just that although Cao Cao had this idea, he still didn't lose his mind. He was not a person who pounced on him regardless of everything. Since he wanted to fight, he must win. It happened that Dong Zhao and Cao Ren had returned with their troops, and his total force reached
90 troops, enough
So we had a battle with Li Jue and Guo Si. But Li Jue and Guo Si's military strength has now reached 150 troops. It's not that Cao Cao can't win. The problem is that on the basis of winning, he must retain his strength. Otherwise, Yanzhou and Yuzhou will be the two states.
There will be no troops to protect it.
Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun could not stay in Yanzhou alone, and now they have returned. So Cao Cao called a meeting of counselors to discuss how to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si. At this time, he heard Xun Yu say: "Ming Gong, although we are currently
It’s not suitable to beat Zhang Haogu, but I think it should be beaten even if it’s not suitable. Please ask Ming Gong to judge.
"Cao Cao's eyes began to shine: "Wen Ruo's words have won my heart. I will adjourn according to Wen Ruo." Although everyone in the meeting was about to break up as soon as their buttocks were hot, but none of them were depressed, with eyes in their eyes.
They all shined like Cao Cao. Because they knew that Cao Cao was going to do something earth-shattering.
So Cao Cao's actions were quickly exposed. The three armies came out and attacked Nanyang. For this reason, Cao Cao also issued a proclamation: "The traitor Zhang Haogu colluded with Yang Feng and Han Xian to plot evil. He also dominated Sizhou and drove away the imperial officials.
, his crime should be punished. Now he has stolen Nanyang, and all the ministers of the Han Dynasty should punish him together."
Even I was confused by Cao Cao's military movements. No matter how hard I broke my head, I would never have imagined that Cao Cao would risk attacking Nanyang regardless of Li Jue and Guo Si. Since I couldn't figure it out, I didn't want to think about it anymore. I immediately called Jia
Xu discussed with Zhang Yang, Wang Yi, Yang Feng and Han Xian.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Wang Yi spoke: "Don't worry, former general. This time the Cao thieves attack Nanyang, the thunder will be loud and the rain will be light. If my prediction is correct, Li Jue and Guo Si will be defeated soon."
At that time. At that time, Cao Cao will really be a serious problem for the former general. But at this time, Nanyang will definitely have no worries."
Zhang Yang also nodded and said: "Cao Ah's plan is to lure the snake out of the cave. If Li Jue and Guo Si are entrenched in Yanzhou, it will be difficult to attack in a hurry. Cao Mengde deliberately showed it to be empty, and Li Jue and Guo Si are too greedy, so they will definitely fall into the trap. If Li Jue and Guo Si soldiers are
If defeated, the former general will be next."
Yang Feng said vigorously: "The thief Cao is ambitious. Today, we are covered in dust. We cannot sit back and watch the thief Cao become powerful. Please ask the former general to order me and Han Xian to be the vanguard. While Cao thief and the two thief Li Guo are fighting fiercely in Yuzhou,
Send troops to Yanzhou to cut off the foundation of Cao Cao's traitors."
Han Xian also echoed. But he heard Jia Xu say: "No. This is exactly what Cao Cao wanted. Now the three thieves are competing in Yuzhou, and their intention is really Yanzhou. If Li Guo wins, he will surely gain a foothold in Yanzhou. Cao Cao
If we win, we should return to Yanzhou and re-consolidate it. If the former general takes Yanzhou
Although the state gained a state, it offended three thieves. The winner certainly had a conflict of interest with the former general, and the loser also blamed the former general for taking advantage of others. Especially the two thieves Li and Guo, regardless of victory or defeat, were the confidants of Cao's thieves, and they could not be harmed.
Being an enemy of the former general, Cao Cao's thieves were benefited in vain. And Yuan
Shao is now in Hebei, and his intention has been in Yanzhou for a long time. The former general entered Yanzhou to force Yuan Shao and the former general to fight. In Xu's view, Cao's thieves will win this time, and if they win, they will return to Yanzhou. If Li and Guo are defeated
, will rush into Qingzhou, secretly join forces with Yuan Shao, and harass the Cao thieves. Although the Cao thieves win, they will not
For several months, Yanzhou could not regain its strength. Moreover, Yuzhou now had Kong Min as a herdsman, and Yuan Shu was watching from the side. Cao Cao's thieves did not dare to move lightly. In the past, it was better for the general to stand still and increase his troops to Nanyang, Hulao, the Second Pass of Sishui, and Deep Ditch.
If the base is high, the Cao thieves cannot win quickly, so they will definitely not dare to come."
Everyone was deeply impressed when they heard this. But I shook my head: "In the current situation, I am not afraid of Cao Cao's thieves attacking me, but I am afraid that Cao Cao's thieves will not come to attack me. If Cao Cao doesn't come, when he becomes powerful, he will have a tail that cannot be lost."
I hate it. What can I do at that time?"
Jia Xu admired and said: "It is very gratifying that the former general has such foresight. Now that the former general cannot leave Yanzhou and it is too late to send troops to Nanyang, why not send troops to Hulao and Si River while he and Li Jue and Guo Si are having a fierce battle?
Taking the opportunity of the war, he captured Yingchuan. He also denounced the Cao thieves in a proclamation, comparing him to Li Jue, who was good at robbing the emperor. Moreover, he secretly sent his henchmen to intimidate the princes. The Cao thieves were bound to be angry when they occupied the land and lost their rights. He did not wait to return.
division
Yanzhou, but came to seek a decisive battle with the former general. This is the next best strategy. If he does not come to fight and leaves the Holy Lord in Xuchang, the former general can take the opportunity to invade Xuchang and rescue the Holy Lord. This is the middle strategy for Cao Cao's thieves. If they only send partial troops
When the army enters Yanzhou, Cao's thieves leave the main force in Yuzhou. This is the best strategy. There is only one strategy. Even if Cao's thieves use the best strategy, the troops in both places will be insufficient. If the former general defeats Cao's thieves in Yuzhou, Cao's thieves will be exhausted."
I was overjoyed when I heard this: "Wen He's plan is very clever. Just follow this plan. Wen He led generals Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai out of Hulao, and I, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Pang De, and Niu Fu
When the general leaves Sishui, General Zhang Yang and General Wang Yi stay behind and take Yingchuan first."
Jia Xu said: "This time the Cao thieves have captured the Li and Guo thieves. We must be on guard against Hulao and Sishui. The former general must advance cautiously and avoid being ambushed."
I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, Jia Xu had left no stone unturned, this time Cao Cao's head should be as big as two.
After the discussion, Jia Xu led 10 guards, with Xu Huang and Ma Chao as marshals, Ma Dai and 9 generals of the guards as governors, and I led Yang Feng, the cavalry of the six armies of Han Siam's old army, and Pang De.
The five imperial guards, who were Marshal Niu Fu and the five brothers were governors, left Hulao and Sishui in two ways. After leaving the pass, they walked and stopped all the way. When they saw the terrain was dangerous, they took a detour and then turned back to fight.
Sure enough, Cao Cao sent troops to ambush at the key road. They were blocked by two armies, and Cao Cao's army was defeated. A total of 20 armies were ambushed, five armies were killed, five armies escaped, and the remaining 10 armies surrendered. Li Dian, the commander of the two armies,
, Le Jin fought his way out. After the war, Jia Xu's and I's armies were expanded to 15 and 16 armies respectively. After breaking the ambush, there was no obstacle and we marched straight forward to occupy Yingchuan.
At the same time, Cao Cao's main force had quietly withdrawn after the grand westward expedition to Nanyang, and was ambushing at the border between Yanzhou and Yuzhou. In addition to Cao Cao's 70 main army forces, there were also Kong Ni's 30 armies, a total of
There were 100 troops in total. Sure enough, Li Jue and Guo Si heard about Cao Cao's Western Expedition and took the opportunity to raise 150 troops to attack Yuzhou. Cao Cao's 100 troops killed them on three sides, leaving only an opening in the east unblocked. Li Guo
The coalition forces collapsed. The new Yanzhou army had always submitted to Cao Cao, but this time they were forced to go out by Li Jue and Guo Si. Most of their relatives were killed and their sisters were taken prisoner. When they saw Cao Cao's army, they threw away their weapons and surrendered. Li Jue and Guo Si saw that the situation was not good.
, leading the 15 armies of the Xiliang Army to escape desperately. After losing 5 armies, the remaining 10 armies fought their way out of the encirclement. They had to go to Qingzhou to rendezvous with the five armies looking for a place to stay.
After Jia Xu and I captured Yingchuan, we used Jia Xu's plan and marched quickly without stopping. We found an important road to ambush between Cao Cao's ambush place and Xuchang. Cao Cao, with the power of victory, surrendered the original Cao army and the new army.
There were 80 troops in the army. When we were on the road, Jia Xu and I suddenly fought out in two directions. Cao Cao's army was in chaos. The new army had just escaped from Li Guo's prison. Anyone who was grateful to Cao Cao was bleeding.
He died in the battle. However, out of the 80 armies, 79 armies returned to the battlefield again. As for the 30 armies of the Yuzhou Army, they saw my appearance from a distance and knew that this was a holiday between me and Cao Cao, so they gave up the opportunity.
Weapons. Only Cao Cao personally led 70 army main force to rush and kill. The ambush site I chose was not as good in terrain. Cao Cao's army was trapped and the advantages of the arms could not be used.
Again, when I thought there was no danger and I was careless, I failed to protect the archers. As soon as I came up, I killed 15 of his army's archers. Without the archers, I also lost the support of the formation. Although it was still
There are several armies of archers, but they are scattered and difficult to play their role. Seeing that his cavalry and infantry archers are squeezed into a pile, and our army's attack power is
Far outnumbering his troops, the only option was to break out. The breakout vanguard, composed of Cao Ren, Xia Houdun, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu Dianwei and others, were unstoppable. The Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Tiger Guard followed behind, protecting Cao Cao as he rushed out.
The rest of the army followed in an orderly manner amidst the chaos. I took the opportunity to use [Enlightenment], and Cao's army surrendered one by one.
While I was recruiting surrender, our army did not kill the enemy blindly. Instead, we followed the Cao army that broke out and maintained a siege. We did not touch the arrows composed of Cao army generals to reduce unnecessary losses. I led
These large armies are all troops that have not been upgraded. Although the troops are good enough, Cao's army is not bad at all. It will be natural to deal with the ordinary Cao army.
The melon is sliced, but it is not sure to deal with the generals of Cao Jun. Of course, Xu Huang, Pang De, the Ma Chao brothers, Niu Fu brothers, Yang Feng, and Han Xian, after the troop bonus, are enough to compete with the generals of Cao Jun. But Chaos
In the army, the opponent rushes forward with his high-level troops. It is not a sure chance of victory in a head-on confrontation. Instead, he maintains a double-teaming situation on both sides, gradually eroding his troops.
It's serious. If the other side's general loses his temper and plans to turn around and kill him, then he is seeking his own death. But obviously under Cao Cao's command, these generals did not lose their nerve. After chasing for a while, Cao Jun's general was protected by an army of troops.
As Cao Cao fled further and further away, I decisively ordered to turn around and kill all Cao Cao troops. Unexpectedly, other Cao Cao troops did not leave because of the general.
They lost their fighting spirit and charged fiercely one by one. Even the New Army who had just surrendered, some turned around to help them escape. In the chaos of the battle, 30 Cao Army troops still broke through the encirclement. Among the 79 New Army troops who surrendered, some
Nearly 20 troops followed these Cao troops again. As for the 30 Yuzhou troops who took the initiative to lay down their weapons, I reciprocated and sent them back.
In this battle, Cao Cao's army annihilated 30 armies, surrendered 10 armies, and recruited 60 new armies. Our army lost three armies. After the war, our army expanded to 98 armies. Cao Cao escaped and returned 30 armies.
Cao Jun and 20 new troops, and 50
It's a pity that I didn't bring the follow-up troops, otherwise Cao Cao would have been destroyed here. However, I also intend to let Cao Cao go. After all, there are still forces such as Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao. Without Cao Cao as the protagonist, the drama
