- Wen Chou, the number one general under Yuan Shao after Ju Yi and Yan Liang, actually surrendered to Yuan Fang!
Yuan Shao was angry, so furious that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
¡°Wen Chou, you ungrateful person, how dare you betray me~~¡±
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and roared almost like crazy. His hatred was so ferocious that everyone around him was terrified.
"It's no wonder that the 200,000-strong army went south, originally thinking that they could defeat Yuan Fang. Who would have thought that they would be tricked by Yuan Fang in the first battle and suffer a huge defeat.
It¡¯s okay to lose. After all, the loss of tens of thousands of people is just a drop in the bucket for Yuan Shao, and it won¡¯t hurt his bones at all.
But Wen Chou's surrender of the enemy was a huge blow to him.
Yan Liang Wen Chou, known as the General of the Two Heroes of Hebei, was once Yuan Shao's trusted right-hand man, but now he has betrayed him and surrendered to that rebellious beast. Where can he put Yuan Shao's face?
Your closest and most beloved generals will all betray you and go to that rebellious son with a very bad reputation. What will the world say about you, Yuan Shao?
In an instant, Yuan Shao felt as if he was deeply humiliated and ashamed.
At this time, Jushou said hurriedly: "My lord, please calm down. Wen Ziqin has always been loyal to your lord. Now that he has defeated the enemy and surrendered, maybe there is something unspeakable in it."
"Nonsense!"
Yuan Shao angrily rebuked, glared at Jushou and shouted: "Even if he is in all kinds of difficulties, how can he do anything to surrender the enemy!"
Jushou was shaken by the yelling, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.
"Wen Chou and Yan Liang were originally brothers, as the eldest son said in the urgent report today. He ordered Wen Chou to retreat to the ferry, but Wen Chou refused to listen. Such behavior is really suspicious. Pi thought that Wen Chou simply had treason in his heart. , deliberately defeated and surrendered to the traitor Yuan Fang."
While Yuan Shao was furious, Xin Pi followed suit, adding more fuel to the fire.
Yuan Shao's anger became even more intense, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "During the battle in Pingyuan, this guy tried to stop me from shooting the traitor. I should have thought of it earlier. Like Yan Liang, this guy is a loyalist and a traitor, how hateful!"
Yuan Shao hated Wen Chou deeply. Completely forgetting Xu You's advice. It was the fault of misleading him.
??????? Not knowing how to defend himself, he could only wink secretly at Feng Ji.
Feng Ji coughed dryly and said hurriedly: "Lord, calm down. Wen Chou is just a man. Even if he surrenders the enemy, it is not a concern. Now that the lord has an army of 200,000, a small defeat is nothing. This is just Yuan Fang's rebellion." The thief¡¯s desperate struggle will not change the general trend at all.¡±
Ju Shou also followed: "Yuan Tu's words are reasonable. I believe that your lord must return to Liyang immediately, cross the river with all his troops, and attack Baima. If Yuan Fangyu still wants to hold on to Baima, he is playing into the lord's hands. We are right on the front line of Baima. With our strength, advantage, annihilating Yuan Fang¡¯s vitality in one fell swoop.¡±
The two Hebei counselors gave advice one after another, which calmed Yuan Shao's irritated mood and made him calm down.
Yuan Shao had no choice but to temporarily endure his hatred for Wen Chou and lead his army back to Liyang.
After a day's rest, Guan Yu's defeated troops were recovered, and after reuniting with the remaining troops, Yuan Shao used an army of 190,000 men and thousands of boats and rafts to forcefully cross the Yellow River and attack Baimadu on the south bank.
Jushou¡¯s guess was miscalculated.
Yuan Shao's army crossed the Yellow River with great momentum, but they did not encounter a fierce battle from Yuan Fang's army. In other words, Yuan Fang did not send a single soldier to stop them.
Yuan Shaojun successfully crossed the river and rushed to Baima City a few miles away from the shore. However, he suddenly found that the entire Baima City was deserted and there was only an empty city left.
It turns out that as early as the day after surrendering Wen Chou, Yuan Fang led his army to withdraw southward, along with the people of Baima, leaving only an empty city for Yuan Shao.
The Yellow River is not as good as the Yangtze River. Yuan Shao has too many soldiers and horses. If he wants to cross it by force, Yuan Fang simply cannot stop him.
And this Baima City is not as strong as Puyang, and it has a radius of dozens of miles and an open terrain. If we fight Yuan Shao here, all the advantages of geographical location will be on Yuan Shao's side.
Therefore, under the advice of Tian Feng and other counselors, Yuan Fang decisively abandoned Baima City and withdrew the battle line to Lihu southeast of Baima.
Lihu is the only way to Dingtao, and to the northeast is the fortified city of Puyang. If Yuan Shao's army comes to attack, they must also surround Puyang to remove the threat from the flanks.
It is Yuan Fang's strategy to lure Yuan Shao deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou and constantly divide his forces.
Sure enough, after Yuan Shao captured the White Horse, in order to pave the way south and remove the threat from the flanks, he sent Han Meng to detach 20,000 troops and horses to surround Puyang.
In this way, Yuan Shao's main force heading south to the frontal battlefield has been reduced to 170,000.
Before Yuan Fang withdrew his troops, he had ordered Hao Zhao to lead five thousand elite troops to garrison Puyang City.
He believed that with the strength of Puyang City and Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city, it would not be a problem to defend Puyang.
And Yuan Fang's main force has also been reduced to more than 90,000. With 90,000 against 170,000, there is still a huge disparity in strength.
A few days later, Yuan Shao's army marched southward along Puyang, approaching the front line of Lihu. An army of 170,000 troops descended on the northwest line of Lihu, forming a threat to Lihu.
Yuan Fang's tactics are also very simple, which is to back up Lihu and Pu Rivers, dig trenches, set up barriers, and hold on to the danger without fighting.
"You, Yuan Shao, don't have many soldiers, so I won't fight you head-on. Let's just waste it like this. Anyway, I am fighting on the mainland and have enough food and grass. Let's see who can defeat the other."
Yuan Shao's army advanced to Lihu and launched several strong attacks, but failed to break through Yuan Fang's defense line. Although there were many troops and horses, they were useless and fell into a stalemate for a while.
Ten miles northwest of Lihu, there is a large army of the Northern Army.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao frowned deeply and his face was gloomy.
"It seems that I have underestimated the prestige of this traitor. I have repeatedly sent out messages, but the powerful families in his territory have not responded in large numbers to disrupt his rear. It is really hateful"
Yuan Shao originally thought that if he raised his arms and raised his voice, the powerful families in the Central Plains would respond in large numbers, rebelling everywhere, disrupting Yuan Fang's ruling area, and causing war to break out.
There was a fire in the backyard, and Yuan Fang's soldiers were mentally unstable and would collapse without a fight.
Who would have expected that Yuan Fang would use Tian Feng's plan. The use of a group of celebrities to suppress the imminent forces in various states and counties actually stabilized the internal situation.
With internal stability, the morale of the army will be stable, and Yuan Fang's soldiers will not be shaken in their determination to persevere.
This made Yuan Shao very disappointed.
"The traitor is very stubborn and the enemy camp cannot be attacked for a long time. What strategies can you use to defeat the enemy?" Yuan Shao glanced at the counselors and asked in a deep voice.
Xu You kept silent, not daring to say anything more.
The previous plan led to the White Horse's defeat. Wen Chou surrendered to the enemy. If he hadn't been clever and cleverly placed the blame on Wen Chou, I'm afraid he would have been severely punished by Yuan Shao.
I just learned a lesson at this time. How dare Xu You offer his own advice again?
The rest include Feng Ji, Xin Pi and others. They all kept silent. There is no good solution.
Looking at the counselors who shut up, Yuan Shao became furious and his face became increasingly gloomy.
And this time. Ju Shou hesitated several times, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "My lord, Shou has a plan, which may be able to get rid of that traitor Yuan Fang in one fell swoop!"
Yuan Shao¡¯s gloomy expression suddenly became filled with excitement.
¡¡
Lihu, the southern army camp.
The atmosphere in the army is not as strong as before, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers is quietly affected.
"Two days ago, Yuan Shao's four thousand light cavalry attacked the Cheng family and burned my one hundred thousand bushels of grain and grass."
"Yesterday, three thousand enemy cavalry intercepted our Sishui grain team and destroyed our 80,000 bushels of grain and grass."
"I came to report this morning that two thousand enemy cavalry bypassed our defense line and I don't know where they went."
¡¡
In the big account, Zhuge Liang read out a snow-like emergency report, reporting on the damage to various grain roads.
Yuan Fang¡¯s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, his fists were clenched, and a trace of anger flashed in his starry eyes.
"This must be Ju Shou's plan. Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's large number of cavalry, he continuously attacks our grain road. This move is really vicious." Tian Feng sighed while stroking his beard.
These words hit the nail on the head.
Yuan Fang knew very well that in the battle of White Horse, although Yuan Shao lost thousands of cavalry, his cavalry advantage was still huge.
Now Yuan Fang¡¯s main force is in Lihu. Except for a few strategic places, there are actually no soldiers and horses stationed in all areas within the territory.
In this way, Yuan Shao's superior cavalry can bypass his Lihu defense line and penetrate deep into the rear to harass his food routes.
If he wanted to break the enemy cavalry attack, Yuan Fang could only use cavalry to control cavalry, sending only more than 4,000 cavalry to block the enemy cavalry attacking the grain.
But Yuan Shao had seventeen or eight thousand cavalry, and he divided several routes to attack the grain roads. Even if Yuan Fang could protect one road, he could not protect all the grain roads.
In ten days, Yuan Fang has lost nearly 300,000 bushels of food and grass. No matter how much food he stores, he cannot afford such endless losses.
Yuan Shao¡¯s move is really cruel.
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Fang then said: "Give me the order. From now on, all the grain and grass will be gathered in Juye, and only one grain road along the Pu River will be used."Thousands of cavalry were sent out to protect this grain road with all their strength. "
At this point, Yuan Fang can only do this.
Tian Feng said: "If only one grain road is used, the grain and grass transported to the front line will be greatly reduced. I am afraid it will affect the grain and grass supply. If you want to fight a protracted war with Yuan Shao, this is obviously not a long-term solution."
Fighting a protracted war actually involves food, grass and logistics.
Historically, Cao Cao was almost forced to death by Yuan Shao because the supply of food and grass was not as good as that of Yuan Shao.
Although Yuan Fang has a lot of grain now, there is only one grain road. In the long run, the grain situation will probably repeat Cao Cao's predicament. Yuan Fang doesn't know this.
Yuan Fang stood up, walked towards the map, stared at the map and asked: "Fengxiao, where is Yuan Shao's grain farm?"
Guo Jia was startled, and suddenly seemed to understand. He pointed at the map and said: "Yuan Shao has gathered a large amount of grain and grass in Wei Township on the upper reaches of the Pu River. My lord, you don't want to attack Yuan Shao's grain camp. "
Yuan Fang's eyes were determined and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shao has cut off my food supply. If I don't destroy his food and grass, how can I fight a protracted war with him?"
"But Yuan Shao can't do anything about the important grain camp. Our army doesn't have many cavalry. It's too risky to bypass the enemy's defense line and attack Wei Township." Tian Feng said worriedly.
Yuan Fang took a deep breath and said resolutely: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't be able to catch the tiger's cubs. That's the only way it has happened so far. I've doomed the Weixiang grain camp!" (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
