Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- On the northern front, Ma Chao led 40,000 Xiliang troops, crossed the Yellow River north to quickly defeat Baibo's army in the east of Hedong, and invaded Hanoi County from Jiguan. Zhang Wang, the governor of Hanoi County, was defeated and retreated steadily. He sent 100,000 urgent letters for help.
"Ma Chao's move is quite unexpected." Yuan Fang's eyebrows narrowed slightly as he revealed the information to everyone.
Hanoi is located on the north bank of Luoyang. If Hanoi is lost, the Xiliang army will be able to attack from the north and west, and the defensive situation of Luoyang will become even more unfavorable. Therefore, all the civil and military officials in the tent were quite surprised when they learned the news.
"Ma Chao actually destroyed the Baibo Army in Hedong so quickly. It seems that the current Xiliang Army is really unusual." Guo Jia scanned the information and couldn't help but sigh.
Hedong County is connected to Bingzhou in the north, Sili in the south, Guanzhong in the west, and Hanoi in the east. It is a key place between the three states.
Previously, this area east of Hedong was controlled by the Baibo Army of the remaining Yellow Turban troops. Yuan Fang never sent troops to attack it. He originally wanted to use it as a buffer zone between Guanzhong and Guanzhong.
Unexpectedly, the Xiliang army unexpectedly made a strange plan. Instead of attacking Hangu Pass head-on, they first broke through Hedong, then entered Hanoi, and threatened Luoyang from the north.
"Although Baibo's army is not strong, it is not a mob. Ma Chao can defeat it in a few days. Among them must be Chen Gong, Fazheng, and even Jia Xu's ingenuity. It seems that I will only leave Jushou at Hangu Pass. With his own resourcefulness, he is obviously no match for those three people"
Yuan Fang secretly felt that he had made a slight mistake in his layout, but he did not lose control. He immediately issued a military order and ordered Zhu Ling, who was closest to Hanoi, to lead 5,000 troops and horses to rush to Hanoi to help Zhang Wang defend Wen County and hold him back. Xiliang Army.
"Master, the situation in Hanoi is critical. Don't we all go back to save it?" Zhuge Liang said worriedly.
Yuan Fang said calmly: "Although Hanoi is important, the Xiliang army is good at cavalry warfare but not at attacking cities. With Zhu Ling's horse, they can hold on to Wen County and hold back the Xiliang army. Our biggest enemy at the moment is Cao Cao. I will never return to the army unless I defeat Cao Cao."
Yuan Fang has a clear mind. Determination of will.
The will of the generals was soon unified by Yuan Fang's attitude.
At this time, Liu Ye said: "Cao Cao will surely know the news about the danger in Hanoi soon, and he will most likely take this opportunity to revive his morale. The Lord must be on guard when he comes to rescue Liang County again."
"Although Cao Cao was defeated in the previous round, it did not damage his roots. Liang County is an important place. How could he give up so easily? I have been waiting to fight him again. If he still wants to fight again, I will accompany him to the end!"
Yuan Fang¡¯s will is as strong as iron and he has no intention of backing down.
On the same day, Yuan Convenient ordered the three armies to continue the siege of Liang County. On the one hand, Zhu Ling was sent to defend Wen County.
As Liu Ye expected, a few days later. Cao Cao, who had retreated to Jiacheng, indeed made some noise again.
Hearing that Yuan Fang¡¯s northern front was tight, Cao Cao immediately regrouped and headed north along Ru River again to approach Liang County.
Cao Cao had obviously learned the lessons of the previous defeat. This time he did not dare to advance with a large army. Instead, he chose to proceed step by step and advance slowly. It took him five days to steadily approach ten miles southeast of Liang County.
In order to defend Cao Cao, Yuan Fang drew out 40,000 soldiers and horses from the besieging army. After encircling the camp in the southeast of the city, Yuan Fang set up another battalion to block Cao Cao and protect the flanks and rear of the encircled camp.
Although Cao Cao's rear was small, some of Yuan Fang's troops were restrained by the enemies of Liang County, and they could not mobilize more troops to defeat Cao Cao's main force. The strength comparison between the two sides was not much different.
So, in the next month, the two sides clashed several times, with no outcome.
In the middle of winter, Yuan Fang and Cao Cao formed a stalemate in Liang County.
On the Huainan front line, Sun Ce, instigated by Zhou Yu, surrounded Hefei City with an army of 60,000 and carried out a crazy siege.
Fortunately, under the joint efforts of Zhang Liao and Jiang Gan, the city of Hefei was as solid as a rock, and Sun Ce was unable to siege the city for a month.
As for Hanoi on the northern route, just as Yuan Fang expected, although Chen Gong and Fazheng had clever plans, the weakness of the Xiliang army's inability to attack cities could not be ignored. They violently attacked Wenxian for one month, and both were defeated by Zhu. Repulsed by the spirit.
Suddenly, on the three fronts from north to south and from west to east, both the enemy and ourselves entered a stalemate.
¡¡
The large tent of the Chinese army was filled with the smell of alcohol and meat.
Although it was freezing cold, the generals gathered in the tent and enjoyed the special "hot pot" meal that Yuan Fang rewarded them with.
Just when he was sweating after eating, Zhuge Liang came in with the wind and snow, his face was quite solemn, he cupped his hands and said: "Master, there is also a commotion in Youzhou. Gongsun Du took Lu Bu as the vanguard and led 20,000 Liaodong cavalry to collude with Wuhuan. People have invaded Youzhou in large numbers.¡±
Hearing this news, the lively atmosphere among the generals suddenly fell silent.
Yuan Fang was calm and composed, as ifAs expected, you just wiped your hands and took the information unhurriedly.
"This Gongsun Du really wants to take advantage of me again. Fortunately, I took precautions and left Yan Zizheng and Tian Yuanhao to guard Youzhou. With them, even if we can't repel Lu Bu and the Wuhuan people, we should be able to protect Youzhou." question."
Lu Bu hates him too much, Gongsun Du is greedy, and the Wuhuan people have always had a close relationship with Yuan Shao. Now that his army is all in the Central Plains, these three forces took the opportunity to invade Youzhou, which was expected in advance.
" Otherwise, Yuan Fang would not have left a fierce general like Yan Liang and a wise man like Tian Feng to stay in Youzhou, just to deal with Lu Bu, the most difficult enemy.
Guo Jia took a sip of wine and laughed at himself: "Gongsun Du has gathered four groups of troops by sending out troops like this. Our current situation seems to be a bit embattled."
Guo Jia¡¯s self-deprecating words made everyone laugh and the atmosphere relaxed again.
"Although our army is strong, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. As long as there is a problem on one side, the overall layout will be disrupted. We still have to find ways to repel Cao Cao as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams" Yuan Fang tapped his fingertips. Forehead, thoughtful.
"My lord, there are still more than 10,000 cavalry that have not been used, and what Cao Cao lacks most is cavalry. Why don't your lord send out a large number of cavalry, attack Cao Cao's rear, cut off his food route, and force Cao Cao to retreat."
A general in front of the tent spoke loudly. These words immediately made Yuan Fang's eyes light up.
Suddenly he looked up and saw that the person who spoke was none other than Wei Yan.
"I almost forgot! Although my cavalry does not have an advantage over the Xiliang Army and Gongsun Du, it has an absolute advantage over Cao Cao and Sun Ce. How can we not make good use of it." Yuan Fang suddenly realized.
When Yuan Shao went south, he used cavalry to cut off his food routes and almost drove him to a dead end. Now that Wei Yan reminded him, how could Yuan Fang not realize this?
At this time, Wei Yan continued: "Yan is well aware of Cao Cao's grain transportation and the distribution of grain roads. If your Majesty attacks his grain roads, Yan can do his best."
Thoughts were racing, Yuan Fang made up his mind in an instant, and said excitedly: "Okay, Chief Wen, you just reminded me. If Cao Cao doesn't retreat, then I will follow Yuan Shao's example. Let him experience the pain of having his food route cut off."
At that moment, Yuan Convenient issued an order, ordering Zhao Yun, Zhang Jia, Gao Shun, Wen Chou and other cavalry generals to lead out all 10,000 cavalry, follow Wei Yan's instructions, and go straight to Cao Cao's rear. To cut off their food routes.
Wei Yan¡¯s plan quickly worked wonders.
Within half a month, four groups of light cavalry troops intercepted and destroyed Cao Cao's grain transport teams more than ten times in Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan. Nearly 400,000 hu of dendrobium were burned.
" But Cao Cao is not like Yuan Fang did back then. Shang has thousands of cavalry, which can compete with Yuan Shao.
Nowadays, Cao's army, which is almost composed of pure infantry, does not have enough cavalry to protect the grain road and repel Yuan Fang's light cavalry.
As soon as this plan came out, Cao Cao's frontline military ration supply quickly fell into a shortage, and the morale of the military began to waver.
In the Liang County area, the originally stalemate situation finally began to be broken.
¡¡
Southeast of Liang County, Cao Jun¡¯s main camp is located.
"Report~~" the scout rushed in and shouted: "Your Majesty, our army's grain team from Nanyang was destroyed by the enemy again, losing more than 50,000 hu of grain and grass."
Cao Cao was shaken, and the wine glass he raised to his lips froze in mid-air. Anger instantly appeared on his scorched face.
boom!
The wine glass in his hand hit the table hard.
"If I didn't have cavalry, how could I have allowed that boy to be so arrogant and cut off my food supply!" Cao Cao was angry and hateful, gritting his teeth and yelling.
All the civil and military officials on the left and right sighed sadly.
This is the third time in ten days that the food route has been cut off. If this news gets out, the morale of the army will drop further.
"It's a pity that like Cao Cao, they can only hold back their anger, but they are helpless.
They had no choice but to let Yuan Fang's cavalry gallop behind them without any cavalry, but there was nothing they could do.
In the silence, Cheng An finally couldn't bear it anymore and said with cupped hands: "My lord, we were defeated in the previous battle. We lost over 10,000 troops. We also lost the general Miaocai. Our army's vitality has been severely damaged. Now the food road has been destroyed again." If it is interrupted, the morale of the army will become even more unstable. If we continue to hold on, I am afraid that"
Although Cheng Yu didn't say as much as he could, the implication of persuading him to retreat was already obvious.
All the generals looked at Cao Cao. Although no one said anything, their eyes and expressions seemed to agree with Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao¡¯s face was gloomy, and he thought deeply for a long time. There was a complicated look in his eyes, and he hesitated.After a long time, he finally let out a helpless sigh.
Cheng Yu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Cao Cao's sigh meant that he was determined to withdraw.
In the corner, Sima Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, but his brows were deeply furrowed, as if he was unwilling to give up.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. It doesn't matter if we retreat for the time being. However, if our army retreats like this, wouldn't it mean that Yu Jin, Xu You, and 10,000 soldiers will be abandoned in the isolated city of Liang County?" Cao Cao sighed and couldn't bear to say. .
In the big tent, everyone fell into silence again.
Yu Jin is a general from Yuan Cong, Xu You is a meritorious minister, and the ten thousand soldiers are all veterans who have followed Cao Cao for many years.
If you abandon it now and ignore it, you will lose your heart. Who doesn't know this truth?
However, they had no solution, and all they could do was remain silent.
In the silence, Sima Yi suddenly brightened up and said with a sly smile: "Don't worry, my lord, Yi has a clever plan here. Not only can he save the general and the others, but he can also defeat Yuan Fang once before retreating and make him suffer a little." "
Cao Cao's worried expression suddenly showed surprise, and he asked Sima Yi what he had planned.
Sima Yi took his time and slowly revealed his strategy with a sly smile on his face.
After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but perked up and slapped the table and said: "Zhongda's plan is very clever. Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang, if you want to force me to leave, I will help you. However, before I leave, I also want you to know my Cao Cao's sharp!" - Didn't finish reading?
