- "The situation is over. Retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, it will be too late!" Cheng Yu shouted loudly.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth secretly, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
Just when he was hesitating, several defeated troops came in embarrassment, and Yuan Fang killed Cao Hong in front of the battle. This shocking news was reported to the general.
Cao Hong was actually killed by Yuan Fang!
In an instant, Cao Cao's face changed in shock, and endless anger rushed up to his face like a raging flame, burning his scorched face until it was no longer human.
"Yuan Fang, you actually killed my brother!"
The extremely angry Cao Cao gritted his teeth and his eyes were so bloodshot that they almost burst.
At this moment, Cao Cao actually had the urge to fight Yuan Fang to the death at all costs to avenge Cao Hong.
And when he looked up, his own army was defeated like a mountain, throwing away their helmets and armor, and they were escaping from his eyes in pieces, with no fighting spirit left.
Yuan Fang¡¯s army was full of fighting spirit, like tigers descending from the mountain, pounced on the fleeing flock of frightened sheep.
"My lord, General Zi Lian's revenge must be avenged, but now is definitely not the time to be impulsive. Let's withdraw our troops. If we don't withdraw, our entire army will be annihilated!" Cheng Yu kept calm and shouted tremblingly.
Cao Cao's eyes were on fire, and he took a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress his anger for revenge.
He is proficient in the art of war and knows very well that his army's defeat is now certain. If he forces himself to fight to the death, there will be no chance of turning defeat into victory.
Even though he was unwilling to give in, Cao Cao was resentful for a long time, and still gritted his teeth and said: "The whole army retreats, retreats!"
When the order was given, Cao Cao no longer hesitated and turned his horse around. Under the protection of Dianwei's troops, he retreated hastily to the north.
As soon as Cao Cao left. The entire Cao army collapsed and collapsed.
At noon, the hustle and bustle of the battlefield finally fell silent, leaving only the smoke of unfinished gunfire.
Yuan Fang, covered in blood, sits on a red rabbit on his crotch, and holds Fang Tian's painted halberd dripping with blood. The young princes stand majestically on the battlefield.
Look around. Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.
The blood-stained Yuan flag still stands over the battlefield, fluttering in the wind, indicating who is the winner of this battle.
"This battle was finally won"
Yuan Fang let out a long breath, and the young man's face was stained with blood. A smile of relief appeared.
After this crucial battle, Cao Cao's main army suffered heavy losses, and the balance of military strength between the two sides changed. Yuan Fang will take the initiative to capture Yanzhou.
The calculation of the battle damage is indeed similar to what Yuan Fang judged.
In this battle, Cao Jun suffered more than 10,000 casualties. There were nearly 7,000 more people, their fighting spirit collapsed, and they fell on the ground and asked to surrender.
This also means that more than half of Cao Cao's 40,000 main army was lost in one battle. The losses were truly heavy.
In addition to the loss of troops and horses, Cao Cao left behind numerous weapons and equipment. Food and grass were piled up like mountains, and they all fell into Yuan Fang's hands.
This is a real victory.
Yuan Fang is not only satisfied with this, he wants to destroy Cao Cao and take all Yanzhou.
After the great victory that day, Yuan Fang led 45,000 troops and followed Cao Cao's defeated troops, pursuing them all the way.
The counties of Kangfu and Gaoping that were previously given to Cao Cao in order to lure the enemy were now easily taken back by Yuan Fang.
But Cao Cao was defeated and fled all the way. He couldn't contain his troops and horses, and he didn't even dare to defend Juye City, so he abandoned it and retreated.
Yuan Fang captured Juye, an important town located in the hinterland of Yanzhou, almost without a single blow.
After the army rested in Juye for two days, Yuan Fang immediately raised his troops again and marched towards Puyang along the Pu River.
According to the strategy agreed upon with Guo Jia, Yuan Fang's battle plan is to divide Yanzhou into two, so that Cao Cao cannot care about each other.
As long as Yuan Fang can capture Puyang, the counties in the northeast of Yanzhou such as Taishan, Jibei, Dongping, Rencheng, and Dongjun will be cut off from Cao Cao's main force.
In this way, Yuan Fang does not need to make an effort to attack the city, and most of Yanzhou will surrender without a fight.
With Cao Cao's military plan, he quickly saw Yuan Fang's strategic intentions, so he picked up the defeated troops and determined to defend Puyang City.
Half a month after the defeat of Hulu, Cao Cao gathered the remaining 20,000 troops on the front line of Puyang and put on a desperate defense.
However, Cao Cao still had a backup plan. He did not sit in Puyang, but led 15,000 main troops to the southwestern part of Puyang City, forming a horned force with Puyang.
Cao Cao handed over the important task of defending the city to Liu Bei, ordering him to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to defend Puyang with Guan Yu.
As soon as Cao Cao set up the Iron Barrel Formation, Yuan Fang led 40,000 soldiers two days later.The army advanced to the southeast of Puyang City, forming a threatening offensive posture.
The Chinese military tent.
Yuan Fang stared at the map, touching his chin with his hand, and frowning slightly.
Seven days have passed since the army arrived at Puyang. During these seven days, Yuan Fang led his troops to launch exploratory attacks on Puyang City and Cao Cao's Horn Camp in the southwest of the city.
The result was just as Yuan Fang expected, all of them failed without success.
"Puyang is a fortified city, and Cao Cao does have some abilities. His insistence on not fighting is really a headache." Gao Shun frowned.
The generals nodded one after another. The recent failure of the strong attack had caused them a lot of suffering. The vigor of the previous victory over Hulu had been slightly dampened.
In the big tent, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
"If we can't attack by force, let's waste it with Cao Cao. Anyway, we have more food, let's see who can consume more." Zhuge Liang, who was silent, suddenly said this, breaking the silence.
Yuan Fang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that Zhuge Liang's words were actually a good idea.
Since Yuan Fang captured Qingzhou, he has promoted farming on a large scale. After he captured Xuzhou, he also promoted farming to Xuzhou.
Relying on the merits of farming, Yuan Fang's accumulation of grain and grass has reached millions of dendrobium, so he does not need to worry about grain and grass at all.
Looking back at Cao Cao, although Cao Cao was the first to implement the farming matter in history, due to Lu Bu's rebellion, Cao Cao had not had time to implement it.
And according to intelligence, Cao Cao's food supply has indeed begun to become tense.
Zhuge Liang¡¯s seemingly casual words hit Cao Cao¡¯s biggest weakness.
"Well, what A Liang said makes sense." Yuan Fang nodded slightly and said in approval.
Next. He turned his attention to Guo Jia again to see what the chief counselor meant.
Guo Jia swallowed his wine and said: "With the current situation, I'm afraid we can only fight a protracted war, but I am worried about how long Gongsun Zan can hold out in Hebei."
Gongsun Zan was defeated and Yuan Shao unified Hebei. It is very likely that he will send troops southward immediately. If Yanzhou is not captured by then, he will face the dilemma of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao attacking from the north and the south.
Guo Jia¡¯s worries are not unreasonable.
At this moment, the scouts outside the tent rushed in and reported the latest battle report from Hebei. Sent to Yuan Jianyuan.
When Yuan Fang unfolded the information, his frown suddenly relaxed, he slapped the table and laughed: "Okay, God helps me!"
All the generals were surprised. They didn't know what information made Yuan Fang so happy.
Yuan Conveniently reported the information. Show it to everyone.
It turned out that Gongsun Zan was holding on to Yijing and could no longer sustain it. However, a few days ago, Zhang Yan led what was known as a hundred thousand Montenegrin army. He left Zhongshan Kingdom in the east and went to rescue Gongsun Zan.
Facing the comeback of the Montenegro Army. Yuan Shao had to divide his troops to stop the attack. The pressure on Gongsun Zan of Yi Jing was greatly reduced, and he got a chance to breathe again.
"Gongsun Zan has the help of the Montenegro Army, which can last at least a few more months. Okay, now we can feel confident and bold and fight a protracted war with Cao Cao."
Guo Jia was no longer worried. He was so happy that he took a few sips of good wine.
Yuan Fang was in a good mood. He snatched the wine gourd from Guo Jia's hand and drank it all in one breath.
Throwing the empty gourd of wine back to Guo Jia, Yuan Fang said happily: "Very good. Since God is going to help me, what else do I have to worry about? Send the order and prepare the whole army. I will fight to the death with Cao Cao and I will not break Puyang." Don¡¯t give up!¡±
The generals' emotions were all cheered up by the good news, and they returned to their camps to appease the soldiers and determined to fight a protracted war of attrition.
Therefore, in the next month, Yuan Fang stopped large-scale attacks and only stationed the main army in the southeast of Puyang City, forming a stalemate with Cao Cao.
At the same time, Yuan Fang sent out his Qingqi, constantly harassing Cao Cao's rear and destroying his food routes.
¡¡
Before I knew it, it was already autumn.
In the Chinese military tent, Yuan Fang and Guo Jia were drinking wine while discussing the situation in the world.
"Recently I heard that Guan Li and Guo turned against each other and were fighting each other. The emperor had taken the opportunity to escape from Chang'an and fled to Hongnong. According to this situation, it seems possible to move eastward to Luoyang. Lord, I thought that the emperor's eastward move would be harmful to us. It should be a rare opportunity.¡±
Guo Jia sipped the wine and his tone was meaningful.
Of course Yuan Fang understood what Guo Jia meant, and naturally wanted him to welcome the emperor into his own hands.
"It is indeed beneficial to welcome the emperor, but in a sense, it may also be a kind ofburden. "Yuan Fang said thoughtfully.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "There are definitely some burdens, but in my opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As long as the lord has the emperor in his hands, he can use the emperor to command the princes. When the time comes, the lord can hit whoever he wants. Isn¡¯t it wonderful?¡±
Yuan Fang was silent. In his mind, he recalled the examples of Cao Cao in history.
Before welcoming the emperor, Cao Cao's strength was not very strong, but after taking the emperor to command the princes, Cao Cao's strength developed rapidly.
If he captures Yanzhou now, it will actually be equivalent to replacing Cao Cao's original position. It would be a good choice to imitate Cao Cao and use the emperor to control the princes.
While he was deep in thought, Zhuge Liang rushed in excitedly and said, "Master, the latest information from our scouts is that Cao Cao led his army to abandon the camp last night. Now the Horn Camp in the southwest of the city is an empty camp." Camp."
Cao Cao retreats!
Yuan Fang perked up and was surprised, wondering: "Cao Cao just abandoned Liu Bei and left. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't want Puyang?"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "I think this must be because Cao Cao is short of food and cannot continue the stalemate with us, so he has to retreat to the Yanyu area to harvest autumn grain and alleviate the food problem. He must want to take advantage of Liu Bei Hold us back until their autumn crops come down, and then they can regroup and fight with us again."
I see.
In Yuan Fang's eyes, fierce murderous intent gradually surged.
Cao Cao retreated, which meant that he could use more than 40,000 troops to besiege Puyang City with all his strength without continuing the stalemate.
"Liu Bei, you, a hypocrite, have been against me since the plains, and want to kill me. This time, I will never give you a chance to escape"
Yuan Fang secretly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and swore a solemn oath, his eyes full of determination. - Didn't finish reading?
