Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the second year of Xingping, the temporary peace in the north was broken again. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei entered the battlefield one after another. Rolling iron streams gathered on both sides of the Yellow River, vowing to defend their dignity with blood.

    The historical Battle of Guandu was advanced five years. In this year, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was only twenty years old.  [bsp; Lujiang City.

    "What kind of game can a genius make?" Sun Ce, dressed in mourning clothes, sat on the couch and watched the battle report from the north. "Zang Ba led his elite troops from Langya to Qingzhou and occupied Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places.  Contain Yuan Shao, consolidate the right wing, and prevent Yuan's army from attacking Xudu from the east. Yu Jin led two thousand infantry and cavalry to Yanjin to assist Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun who guarded Baima, and blocked Yuan's army from crossing the river and driving south. Zhong Yao was in Fuguanzhong,  Win over Liangzhou to stabilize the flanks. The main force will build fortifications in the Guandu area to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking from the front."

    "What a genius this is!" Sun Ce praised again.

    "It seems that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are in danger this time." Zhou Yu took the battle report from Sun Ce and looked through it. "Concentrate your troops, guard the key passes, focus on fortifications, and wait for the work. Cao Cao's strike after the attack is very beautiful."

    "Yuan Shaozhi has great talent but lacks courage. He is unkind and willful. He has many soldiers but unclear command. His generals are arrogant and his orders are inconsistent. No matter how many hundred thousand more soldiers he has, it will be of no use." After Lu Xun participated in the Battle of Jingbei with his army, he became more and more convinced  The young man has grown old, "and the alliance between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei cannot be said to be very stable. Once the war develops in an unfavorable direction, there is no guarantee that Liu Bei will not stab him in the back."

    Zhang Zhao has been responsible for the supply of the army. At this time, he looked at the map behind Sun Ce and said: "Guandu is located in the upper reaches of Honggou, close to Bianshui River. Honggou Canal connects Hulao, Gong and Luo pass to the west, and goes to Huaisi to the east.  The barriers to the north and east of Xudu are important and must-win areas for Yuan Shao to seize Xudu. However, Guandu is close to Xudu, and Cao Cao¡¯s army¡¯s logistical supplies are much more convenient than Yuan¡¯s army. Cao Cao chose this place to defend, and his vision is very unique.¡±

    "It is said that the authorities are confused, but Cao Cao was able to see the situation so clearly when he was in it." Zhou Yu smiled lowly, "When my brother made a ten-year agreement with him, did he underestimate Cao Cao too much.  "

    Sun Ce shook his head: "I never dare to take Cao Cao lightly. His perseverance, courage, cunning and agility make people both admired and feared."

    "It's a pity that people like this will eventually become my enemies." At this point, Sun Ce sighed deeply.

    On the hillside on the south side of the Yellow River, under a red flag, Cao Cao was dressed in a light robe, sitting on the ground, quietly looking at the endless river in front of him.  A group of civil servants and generals stood behind him, all of them silent.

    The sound of horse hooves came.

    Cao Cao was pulled back from his thoughts and saw a black horse running very fast towards him along the river bank. The horse's hooves rising and falling quickly raised large amounts of smoke and dust.  The visitor reined up the horse at the foot of the hillside and hurried up: "Report! The enemy general Yan Liang has led ten thousand troops to fetch the white horse. Liu Taishou is trapped in a dangerous situation. The situation is extremely critical. The special agent will ask the lord for help. Liu Taishou also returns  There is a saying for the general to bring to the lord: When the city is alive, people will be alive; when the city is dead, people will be dead!"

    "Finally we're here." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, spreading the map on the ground, and all the generals gathered around him.

    "My lord, Baima is an important place for Dongjun. If it is captured by Yuan Shao, its main force can easily cross the Yellow River." Guo Jia glanced at the map and frowned, "With our current strength, Dongjun will not be able to give up."  It¡¯s still rescue, but it¡¯s up to the Lord to decide.¡±

    Cao Cao pondered: "Yuan Shao has many soldiers and we have few, and the Yellow River is a thousand miles away and there are many places to cross it. If we divide our troops and guard against them, it will not only be difficult to stop Yuan's army from going south, but it will also make our already disadvantaged troops even more dispersed. Logically speaking,  At this time, the right way is to return to the army and defend Guandu. But Baima must be saved, because this is the first battle between me and Yuan Shao. It is a battle that is inevitable for him and me. The losing side is in morale.  It will be a huge blow to the General Assembly, and it is very likely that the entire war will go in a completely different direction."

    "I will make those who think I can't win regret it, because they misjudged me!" Cao Cao suppressed his voice and roared in his throat.

    Guo Jia breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I'm really afraid that my lord will decide to give up the white horse."

    Cao Cao stood up and patted the dust on his trousers. Although his face was calm, there was an undercurrent surging in his heart. A fear that could swallow him up rose from the bottom of his heart. Twenty thousand versus one hundred thousand, no matter what he thought, he was overwhelmed.  Cao Cao felt powerless.  But Cao Cao understood that this was the last time for him to be cowardly. Once this moment passed, any cowardice would lead him into an abyss of eternal destruction.

    Facing the wind blowing from the north, Cao Cao took a deep breath, got rid of all distracting thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here."Will obey orders!  "

    Later generations of historians always spoke of Cao Cao's military deployment with admiration.  They couldn't understand what kind of courage Cao Cao had, who dared to cross the Yellow River and rush north to attack Yuan Shao's rear with only a thousand elite soldiers.

    "What!?" Yuan Shao looked at the military report in front of him, as if he had been beaten with a sap, and he did not recover for a long time.

    "Cao Cao personally led troops to attack Yecheng? How many people did he bring?" Yuan Shao finally woke up and asked angrily.

    The general who brought the military report muttered for a long time, but could not give Yuan Shao an accurate number. When Cao's soldiers came, he only focused on running for his life, and he had no mood to count how many enemies came.  It can only be said that from the perspective of his senses, he felt that Cao soldiers were everywhere, and there must be many of them.

    "Useless thing!" Yuan Shao kicked him over, then anxiously walked around in the tent, "What should I do, what should I do?"

    Liu Bei sighed secretly in his heart, stood up and said: "Mr. Yuan, why don't you lead your troops to rescue Yecheng, while you continue to confront Cao Cao here. When General Yan Liang captures Baima, we will  Join forces and cross the river to go south."

    "I won't bother you with this section." Guo Tu laughed coldly, "Since my lord's residence was attacked, we should handle it ourselves, so I made you come all the way from Youzhou.  It¡¯s only a few days since we arrived in Liyang, so let¡¯s rest here.¡±

    Liu Bei knew that his mind had been penetrated, but he just smiled lightly and used his smile to cover up his inner fluctuations: "Then I will just wait here for Mr. Yuan's success."

    At this moment, Liu Bei's words sounded to Yuan Shao like he was laughing at himself, very harsh. He waved his hand impatiently, opened the curtain and walked out of the military tent.  Yuan Shao had made up his mind. He would rush back to Yecheng to stop the invading Cao army, and then cut off Cao Cao's head in front of everyone. Thinking of this, Yuan Shao smiled arrogantly, as if he had seen Cao Cao kneeling in front of him.  Kowtow and beg for surrender.

    Liu Bei in the tent looked at the fallen door curtain and said in a low voice: "You useless coward."
