As soon as Guo Tu entered the tent, he immediately said: "Is Wei Bridge okay?"
Everyone in the tent was already seated. Seeing Guo Tu arriving late, Xu You snorted coldly, despising his pretentiousness.
Seeing everyone gathered, Yuan Shao sat at the top of the table, holding up the document in his hand and saying: "The second battle report has come over. Meng Dai said in the letter that the enemy raided the head and middle of the Weiqiao Bridge at night. Fortunately, they were stopped by the defenders in the middle of the bridge.
The army noticed and issued a warning, and they were fighting fiercely when the battle report came."
"The battle started when the rooster crows last night. It's been more than three hours now, and I don't know what the situation is over there. But as long as the bridgehead is guarded, it should be difficult for the Qingzhou Army to break through."
Liu Hui touched his goatee. Fighting on the bridge was not as good as fighting on the plain. Due to the terrain, no matter how many people there were, they couldn't move. Yuan Jun could occupy the open space at the head of the bridge and use spears and bows in a circular formation.
Attack, this style of play cannot be conquered by anyone except the trapped troops.
Because even though the armor of the Qingzhou Army has better defense, it is not heavy armor that covers the whole body after all. Including the generals, they are just armor, with their limbs and appearance exposed. Only the generals have armor and helmets, and ordinary soldiers only have
A small armor to protect the chest.
In this way, under the baptism of arrows, even Zhang Liao's Wansheng Army should not be able to break through the blockade. However, all this is just Liu Hui's speculation. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and he is not sure that Weiqiao guard Meng Dai can
The bridgehead cannot be completely defended.
"Ming Gong, I have said before. Liu Bei did not want to launch an attack from Jieqiao at all. The target has always been Weiqiao. Now that we have learned that Weiqiao is attacked by Liu Bei's main force, it is a good time to raid Liu Bei's military camp.
"
Guo Tu immediately made suggestions.
Xu You sneered and said: "It's too early to say this now. Leaving the nearby boundary bridge unattacked and attacking Weiqiao which is more than 200 miles away is obviously against military common sense. Liu Bei will not do this.
Wrong, how can you judge whether this is just a small force of Liu Bei's army, so it is a suspicious formation?"
Guo Tu was too lazy to answer him, but said to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong, the attack on Weiqiao has proved everything. Doesn't it still explain Liu Bei's plan? We don't know whether Weiqiao can be defended now. If we hesitate again,
, I’m afraid the fighter planes won’t wait for us.”
"Ming Gong, I think we should take it slow and then talk about it after we are sure."
Liu Huijin said.
Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Then don't be in a hurry and wait until the results of the battle report from Weiqiao are sent up."
A few people sat in the tent and waited, and the battle reports came every half an hour.
From the first letter at the end of the morning eclipse, to the third quarter of the day, that is, almost 12 noon, the last official document finally arrived, announcing the armistice between the two sides.
After hearing the messenger's report, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Weiqiao was not captured by the Qingzhou Army, which was good news for him.
"Ming Gong, it seems that this is the official document that Meng Dai sent two hours ago at three o'clock in the morning. It should be the last one today."
Guo Tu opened the official document, looked at it in detail, and said with great joy: "Ming Gong, I am so happy."
"oh?"
Yuan Shao hurriedly asked: "What does it say?"
Guo Tu immediately said: "Ming Gong, Meng Dai said in the official document that after repelling the Qingzhou Army, the Qingzhou Army began to camp on the south bank. Their number is estimated to be around 30,000 to 40,000, led by Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Dian and Wei.
.”
"How did Meng Dai know about it?"
Xu You's face darkened. He didn't expect Guo Tu, the blind cat, to guess correctly after encountering a dead mouse?
Guo Tu handed over the official document: "The official document did not say how to determine the number of enemy troops, but it was said that the scouts detected that the enemy army had raised three general flags: "Zhang", "Zang" and "Dian"."
"Um."
Yuan Shao took the official document and glanced at it quickly.
The content inside is indeed the same as what Guo Tu said. Meng Dai said that he led an army to fight to the death and repulsed the invading Qingzhou Army. After repelling the enemy, he sent scouts to investigate and roughly judged that the number of enemies was about 30,000 to 40,000.
between.
At the same time, the scouts also discovered that the enemy was divided into three groups, with the flags of Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, and Dian Wei as their commanders.
In fact, it is not difficult for experienced old scouts to judge the number of enemies. If the enemies live in their own camp and do not come out, then look at the number of tents and stoves they have set up.
If you arrange a square formation on the battlefield, it will be even simpler. Standing at a high place and looking across, an experienced scout can estimate how many people there are.
Therefore, Yuan Shao did not doubt the authenticity of this official document. No matter how stupid Meng Dai was, he would not deceive him with false data. After confirming the situation, he said loudly: "It seems that Liu Bei is just as Gong Ze said, and he has no intention of cheating him."
Attack from Jie Bridge, but want to open a breakthrough from Weiqiao."
"Ming Gong, the top priority now is to launch an attack on Jie Bridge immediately. Seeing that Wei Bridge is difficult to break, Liu Bei's main force will most likely come back north immediately. If we cannot seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to defeat Liu Bei in the future.
"
Guo Tu immediately gave advice and advice.
Yuan Shao's index finger slowly tapped the table, making a slight thumping sound. He was nearly fifty years old and had gray hair on his temples, and his energy was already far less than before. After a brief thought, he said softly: "What do you think?
?”
Xu You kept his mouth shut and Xun Chen was respected as the mastermind by Yuan Shao. However, in recent years, as his younger brother Xun Yu's status in Qingzhou had become higher and higher, Yuan Shao had some doubts about whether Xun Chen would rebel and join the enemy. As a result, Xun Chen gradually
Xun Chen was very angry at the loss of trust and rarely offered advice to Yuan Shao from then on.
As for the judge, in terms of military ability, he is still a bit good, but as a counselor, he is obviously incompetent. In history, he has not provided any good strategies for Yuan Shao. Secondly, when the water flooded Ye City, Cao Cao dug ditches.
, he didn’t care about it, which shows that his level is very average.
So at the end, it was Liu Hui who said: "Ming Gong, otherwise we have to wait and see. We should send someone to Weiqiao immediately to make sure that it is really Zhang Liaodian, Wei Zangba and the others and not the suspected soldiers arranged by Liu Bei."
, so as not to fall into Chen Zigui’s scheme.”
Guo Tu said anxiously: "Ming Gong, we can't wait any longer. Liu Bei will not let the troops on the boundary bridge be empty. If Wei Bridge cannot be broken, he will withdraw his troops soon. If we want to break Liu Bei by then, we will probably lose thousands of troops."
It’s extremely difficult.”
"Well."
Yuan Shao nodded slowly. After a moment, he stood up, looked around, and said to everyone: "Since Emperor Huan and Emperor Kang, the Han Dynasty has been weakened and turbulent in all directions. First, the eunuchs caused trouble, and then the Yellow Turbans became rampant. Bandits everywhere continued, and bandits were raging all over the world.
.”
"I was born in the fourth generation of the Yuan family, and I assisted the general in eradicating the eunuchs. I originally thought that once the eunuchs were eliminated, the future of the great Han Dynasty would bring peace to the world and peace to the sea. But unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, kidnapped the emperor, and caused chaos in the palace. I had no choice but to escape.
In Luoyang, recruit troops and horses, raise the flag of righteousness, and help the Han Dynasty.
"After Dong's thief, the country was in danger, and all the people's lives were in ruins. The princes in the world refused to obey the king's orders, and everyone proclaimed themselves emperors and occupied counties as kings. The emperor and King Chenliu encountered disaster, and Wen Zugong raised the orthodox banner in Jizhou and honored the emperor's descendants as
The Son of Heaven should be welcomed by everyone."
"However, Liu Bei went against the grain and encouraged Liu Yu to proclaim himself emperor. Although Liu Yu was a descendant of Guangwu, how could he be as orthodox as Emperor Zhang? He ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which was truly treason. Wang Mang's actions were just a willingness to be Liu Xuande's puppet.
"
After that, Yuan Shao stood around, and lies came out of his mouth one after another, without blushing or beating, as if they were true.
Everyone said nothing, and raised their heads one by one, waiting quietly for Yuan Shao to perform brilliantly even if he deceived himself.
"Everyone!"
I saw him continue to say: "Although I deposed Liu Ye, it was only a temporary measure and a helpless move. I will never forget Duke Wen's great kindness. I will always keep his great deeds in my heart."
"Now Liu Bei and I are already the two largest princes in the world. Whoever can win this battle will dominate the world and change the fate of the world."
"However, Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, but he was just a despicable person who stole the Han Dynasty. But I fought to submit to the Han Dynasty. I have a famous teacher. This battle is for the twenty-fourth generation of the Han Dynasty.
For Duke Wen, for the common people of the world."
Yuan Shao became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder. At the end, he looked down at the audience and said loudly to everyone: "I want to send troops to eradicate Liu Bei, destroy the false emperor of Luoyang, and restore the country of Han Dynasty! What do you think?
"
"No one in the world can match the magnanimity of Duke Ming. This is the way to obey the destiny and be righteous!"
Guo Tu flattered him immediately.
In fact, everyone here knows that Yuan Shao is talking nonsense.
Wang Fen's decision to establish Liu Bian was initially opposed by the people of the world, because Liu Bian was not yet dead at the time, so Wang Fen hurriedly established a new emperor. This was truly treasonous.
Yuan Shao later deposed Liu Ye and honored Liu Yu of Luoyang as emperor, just to reverse the pressure of public opinion and give himself some time to breathe.
At that time, Wang Fen had made enemies on all sides. Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and even Sun Jian and Cao Cao were all taking advantage of the situation. For this reason, Yuan Shao had to destroy Liu Ye first in order to gain living space.
As a result, when it came to his mouth, it turned into an expedient. He transformed from a rebellious traitor to a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. With such sophistry, I am afraid that even Chen Mu, who has always been thick-faced and sinister, would hear Yuan Shao's words here.
, you have to feel ashamed of yourself.
But one thing Yuan Shao said is right, that is, the world is indeed in chaos now. But the most powerful ones are him and Liu Bei.
Among the remaining people, Liu Biao counts one, Sun Jian and Cao Cao count half, and the rest are basically withered bones in the grave. Yuan Shu once had an army of more than 100,000 and nearly 200,000, but now he is half disabled. Lu Bu is like a drifting duckweed.
There is no foundation. Gongsun Zan was stolen from his hometown and suffered heavy losses. Liu Zhang, Han Sui and Ma Teng were all incompetent.
As long as Yuan Shao can defeat Liu Bei, seize the sacred land of Qingzhou, and then occupy Luoyang, he will have enough capital whether he establishes another false emperor or proclaims himself emperor. By then, there will be no more than ten people in the world.
In 20 years, he can create a kingdom belonging to the Yuan family!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was already excited. Liu Bei made a strange move at this time and wanted to take Weiqiao by surprise. But he didn't know that this was a taboo for military strategists. At this time, Liu Bei's army at Jieqiao was empty, which allowed him to send troops to fight.
.
At this time, many counselors no longer had any opinions. In history, all those who advised him had been kidnapped by Chen Mu. Jushou Tian Feng might have seen something, but no one reminded him anymore.
And just when Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu's suggestion and planned to take advantage of Liu Bei's army's "main force" to move south, he planned to raid Liu Bei's base camp at Jieqiao.
At this moment, at Jieqiao, Liu Bei's army was also holding a military meeting.
"In Hebei, there have been more than 20 large-scale conquests in the past dynasties. It is difficult to say the right and wrong. However, historians have all noticed that it was this ancient battlefield that determined the rise and fall of many dynasties. One rises and the other falls, so there has been a quest for the throne since ancient times.
The Theory of the Central Plains."
Chen Mu looked around and said slowly: "Let's not talk about the Spring and Autumn Period, when more than ten countries, large and small, were at war. Just say that since the Warring States, Yan, Zhao, Qi, Wei, Han, Zhongshan, and even Qin and Chu fought for hegemony here countless times. During the Qin and Han Dynasties,
, and how many arguments have been made here, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty began from this point on."
"When Emperor Gaozu sent troops to Hanzhong, he sent Zhang Er, Han Xin and Cao Cen to the north to attack Hebei. Han Xin fought at Jingxingkou and defeated the Zhao army. Seeing that the situation was over, King Zhao fled north to the state of Xiang. Emperor Gaozu defeated Handan and marched north to attack Zhang.
Er Hanxin attacked from the north and south, and forced King Zang Tu of Yan to surrender to the Han Dynasty. The land of Yan and Zhao in Hebei was all in the hands of Emperor Gaozu."
"In the first year of Gengshi, Emperor Guangwu Shizu showed great glory in the Battle of Kunyang. Unexpectedly, King Qi was jealous and killed by Emperor Gengshi. Emperor Shizu had to hide his power and bide his time and reluctantly apologized to Gengshi Emperor in order to save his life. On the tenth day of the first year of Gengshi
Yue, was transferred to Hebei to recruit the three kings. From then on, the dragon returned to the sea and the tiger roared in the mountains and forests."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After Emperor Gaozu captured Hebei, his strength greatly increased. Hundreds of thousands of troops went south. After several battles, he finally defeated Xiang Yu in Chengfu and chased him to Gaixia.
Besieged on all sides, it created the 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Shizu arrived in Hebei, he defeated Wang Lang, killed Liu Lin, and captured Yecheng in the Battle of Nanluan.
, revitalize the Han Dynasty."
"I don't understand. Jizhou, Hebei Province should be the place where the great Han Dynasty flourished. Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Shizu have spirits in heaven and will protect their eldest brother. Why is everyone talking about how powerful Yuan Shao is and whether we and them have reached the end of the world.
After closing the gap that once existed, it seems that this ancient battlefield in the Central Plains has determined the fate of us."
"Fifteen years ago, I embarked on a journey from Zhuoxian County, formed a sworn brotherhood with my three brothers, founded a business, and began to crusade against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I fought several battles against Zhangjiao, and finally decided the fate of the world in the battle of Guangzong, and the Chinese Autumn Leaves Begonia was born.
Return to peace. Wherever my brother's army of benevolence and righteousness goes, the people welcome it wholeheartedly. It can be said that they have taken full advantage of the time. The state of vitality and all things flourishing is still before our eyes."
"Fifteen years later, my brother's name of benevolence and righteousness is still widely spread in Hebei. The people praise it and think of it eagerly. Now our army is in the name of the emperor to attack the rebellious officials and traitors. We are doing it in compliance with the destiny of heaven.
Wherever we go, the people all eat pots of wine and welcome the king's master. Wherever he attacks, the thieves and bandits all flee in the wind. Isn't this the will of God and man?"
At the end of the sentence, Chen Mu also stood up, looked at the many counselors and generals, and made his final enlightening words: "Gentlemen, no matter what, my brother has already taken advantage of the weather and the people. I am planning to attack the east and the west.
, Yuan Shao will take the initiative to attack our Jieqiao camp, defend instead of attack, and then take advantage of the terrain. Since the destiny is in my brother's body, all the people will trust my brother's actions, and the advantage is mine. This battle is said to be won! What do you think?"
"We must win, we must win, we must win!"
Zhang Feidian, Wei, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led Xu Chu and other generals, more than 30 of them, raised their hands and roared loudly. The sound seemed to penetrate the clouds and break the sky!
Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Xun You and others looked at each other and nodded slowly in praise.
