Chapter 566: The Battle of Guandu Begins


Three days later, Cao Zhen and Cao Pi brought Xu You back from the front line of Guandu very smoothly.

Xu Yu went to meet Yuan Shao in person after receiving the change in Yecheng, and angrily reprimanded the trial, but Yuan Shao used procrastination tricks against him, which made him disheartened and surrendered to the Wei State, which became a matter of pushing the boat along the river.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was overjoyed, and in order to show the sincerity of Wei, he went out of the camp barefoot, stepped on the thin stone road, and personally walked out of the camp gate to greet Xu You.

When Xu You saw this scene, he was greatly moved.

The meeting between the two was very pleasant, and there was even a hint of seeing each other and hating each other.

After the banquet, Xu You in order to make himself join the Wei State of some value, he presented a letter of surrender, the Jin State hundreds of thousands of troops to the Guandu center, east and west, opened a camp dozens of miles long, this camp on the detailed layout has been Xu You into a detailed sketch.

This became a petition for his surrender to Wei.

When Cao Cao got this picture, he felt a touch of irrepressible joy in his heart.

This not only got the troop layout of the Jin Kingdom, but also got the news that he wanted the most since then, where the granary of the Jin army was located, Wuchao After Cao Cao obtained this troop layout map, he acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately summoned all the generals and strategists above the general level to hold a pre-war meeting before the decisive battle.

"Our first step is to burn the grain and grass of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin State that Wuchao has stored" In the spacious camp tent, under the light of an oil lamp, all the generals and strategists surrounded Cao Cao, all gathered in front of the huge sand table.

"It's difficult" When the generals heard this, they looked at the terrain on the sand table one by one, and their faces became solemn.

"Wuchao has a special geographical location, if you want to attack Wuchao, you must tear open a gap in the Guandu camp," General Xiahou Yuan said in a low voice.

"This is the sealed hill, if you want to break the black nest, you must pass the sealed hill.

It's the first hurdle we have to cross."

Guo Jia squinted his eyes, the feather fan in his hand swayed, and he looked at the terrain of the sealed mound on the sand table, and said, "The Jin army is here."

At least nearly 30,000 elites have been deployed, and with the strength of this city, if we don't have 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses to attack, it is impossible to take it."

"And if we launch a strong assault on Sealed Hill City.

It will inevitably cause the vigilance of the Jin army" Cheng Yu stood up and added Guo Jia's words: "Tian Feng and the others are not fools, if we are wary, we will not be able to do the effect of raiding the black nest" "Even if we are lucky enough to pass the sealed hill, it is still Jishui, Pushui, and the two big rivers are like natural dangers, and the terrain of the black nest is being defended" Xun You pointed to the thick line of sky blue on the sand table for two days, scratched his head slightly, and sighed. said: "The Jin army chose Wuchao as the granary, I have to say, I have to say, this is a good move" "The location of this granary was chosen by Tian Feng" Xu You stood next to Cao Cao, looking at the strategists of the Wei State with some envy talking freely without any scruples, which was an atmosphere that the Jin State did not have.

Whether it is the territory, national strength, population, talent, or general, the Jin State.

The strength of the army is actually above the Wei State, but they are less united by the Wei State.

Yuan Shao, the king of Jin, was born in a family and had good manners. talked about the rules, and when he was a teenager, he was eager to learn the emperor's power schemes, so he didn't want the people under his command to be twisted together, but used all means to make them antagonistic, which made him feel at ease.

His approach to balancing is truly superb.

But under his means, the people under his command were a little more cautious and less impulsive, so the entire Jin court looked a little backwater.

The most important thing is that because of Yuan Shao's self-cleverness, several outstanding strategists under his command gradually began to become a kind of hostility to deal with them from maintaining the balance of opposites.

If Yuan Shao is inferior to Cao Cao, I'm afraid there is only one, conniving at the fight.

It is because of his connivance that several of the major strategists under his command are a little intriguing, Xu You was above the court a few years ago, in full view of everyone, impeached the trial, and the trial also moved Xu You's family at this time.

This made Xu Yu surrender to Wei.

Xu Yu surrendered to the Wei State, bringing the distribution map of the Jin army, and also bringing the flaws in the layout of the camp of the Jin State, Wuchao.

With this alone, the scales of Wei and Jin began to tilt.

"Tian Feng originally thought that the retreat of Wei was a little unreasonable, from Baima to Yanjin, it was too fast, so he once intended to advise Yuan Shao to set up camp in Yanjin, but Yuan Shao thought that the Wei army was invincible, and it was normal to retreat, so he directly led his troops south to Guandu" Xu You was not timid in the eyes of the generals of the Wei army, talked eloquently, and continued: "In the end, Tian Feng's advice failed, so he suggested again that the granary of the army be placed in the rear of Guandu, Wuchao."

"Tian Yuanhao is really shrewd" When Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia heard this, the two glanced at each other, and Guo Jia sighed: "If Yuan Shaoken listens to Tian Yuanhao's advice, I'm afraid that even if we win this battle, it will drag on for at least three or five years."

The battlefield of Guandu was arranged by them for a long time.

If the Jin army listened to Tian Feng's advice and regarded Yanjin as a battlefield, even if they were defeated by the Wei army, they could calmly withdraw their troops, and under the defeat, the casualties would not be very large, because with the Yellow River as a natural danger, they would already be in an invincible position at all.

So this battle can only be slowly wrenched.

However, if the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two armies is in Guandu, then if the Jin army is defeated and wants to retreat north, the Yellow River will become a place for them to bury.

A very different effect.

"Such good words, but don't know how to accept, Yuan Shao, if he is undefeated, heaven will not tolerate it" Cao Cao's eyes flickered with a hint of sarcasm, and after snorting coldly, his gaze swept over everyone and asked, "You said that how to break the black nest and give Yuan Shao a blow to the head?"

He is more confident in this battle.

"Black Nest" Everyone's eyes fell on the terrain of the black nest in the sand table, and they began to ponder one by one, if they want to break the black nest, there are too many places to cross, and if they are not careful, they will all fail.

"Detour" A Wei general stood up, pointed to a route in the sand table, and suggested in a low voice: "The tiger and leopard can only be attacked by surprise, thirty miles to the east and thirty miles to the north."

Go back again, bypass Junyi and Fengqiu, and hit it on the east side."

"Nope" Someone shook his head in opposition and said, "Jin Jun, they are not stupid.

Moreover, the strength of their scouts is not weak, the cavalry moves very much, and they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if they find out, our intentions will be exposed under their noses.

I'm afraid it won't be a surprise attack at that time, and the tiger and leopard may ride into the trap."

"Wenyuan, what do you think?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally glanced at the silent general Zhang Liao.

Since Zhang Liao surrendered, he has been guarding Jiujiang for him, but his commanding ability and on-the-spot combat command ability are all what Cao Cao has been watching.

"The king, in the thirty-six plans of the Wu State Soldier's book, there is one plan for winning the battle.

In order to hide from the sky and cross the sea, there is also a plan to attack the east and west" Zhang Liao stood up, his eyes were cold, a touch of essence flickered, and he arched his hand and said: "Now that the two armies of Wei and Jin have been facing each other, everyone knows that the decisive battle is imminent, at this time, if the Wei army takes the lead in launching the final decisive battle, it will not arouse any suspicion, and Yuan Shao will inevitably fight."

When he focused on the decisive battle on the front line, his attention to Wuchao was lower, and under the all-out attack of both sides, if the Wei army attacked Fengqiu.

Of course, we will swagger and kill, as long as the speed is fast enough, even if they react, so what's the matter" "Let's talk about it carefully," Cao Cao's eyes brightened.

"My lord, so-and-so means.

From the beginning of the fierce battle, we need to show weakness, on the frontal battlefield, Guandu, Zhongmu, Jiluoshan after a one-day counterattack, immediately turn to the defensive, support more than three days, and then use the tiger and leopard cavalry raid, the black nest will be broken, the black nest will be lost, the Jin army will inevitably fester, we take the opportunity to counterattack" Zhang Liao followed the sand table, said roughly, and then was full of confidence, and said categorically: "Guandu fights, Wei should succeed in the first battle" "Good" When Cao Cao heard this, his face was overjoyed, his eyes burst out with a touch of essence, and he said loudly: "Wenyuan, where the Guandu South Camp is located, it is facing the Jin army, the main force of 100,000 elites, and all of them are handed over to Yu Er today, and you dare to receive orders."

"The last general will inevitably live up to the king's trust" Zhang Liao bowed his head and respectfully received the order.

"Cao Chun, Cao Ren" Cao Cao began to order.

"The Last Will Be" The Cao brothers stood up and gave up.

"Cao Ren, lead 50,000 troops, take Fengqiu in one day" Cao Cao asked: "Can you do it?"

"The last general is willing to make a military order" "Very good" Cao Cao smiled slightly, then glanced at Cao Chun.

"Zihe, 30,000 tigers and leopards, all of them are handed over to your commander today, seal the hill, you immediately go north, this cavalry has cost countless manpower and financial resources of Wei, although we all know that its combat effectiveness is superior to the three armies, but after all, there is no good record to tell the world, so, it is still unknown, you want to be famous in the world, just look at this battle" Cao Cao's voice was indifferent, with a hint of determination: "Within three days, if the tiger and leopard ride can't take the black nest, then the tiger and leopard ride of the Wei State will be disbanded on the spot."

The tiger and leopard cavalry is the ultimate cavalry of the Wei State, in the past battle in the East China Sea, the overlord iron cavalry from the south, the combat effectiveness actually beat them to the ground.

After this battle, Cao Cao also obtained the three treasures of cavalry invented by Wu, and began to form the elite cavalry of Wei, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

At the beginning, there were only 3,000 tigers and leopards, and later when the Wei State was established, the tigers and leopards were reorganized, and the elite cavalry of each army was selected, forming 30,000 elite soldiers.

"The king can rest assured, his head can be broken, and he will never insult the banner of the tiger and leopard" Cao Chun's face was firm.

"Very good" Cao Cao was very fond of both the generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans, and among their generation, Cao Chun was the youngest and most qualified cavalry general.

"Everyone is in place, tomorrow, when the drums of the lonely war sound, you will not be able to win" Cao Cao said loudly to the generals.

"No win, no return" The generals are awe-inspiring and united.

In fact, the general strategy has already been decided, and now that the final decisive moment has been decided, the generals are busy with the final preparations.

Guo Jia Chengyu and several strategists went to reconcile the cooperation plan of the camp of all parties, and Xi Zhicai stayed by Cao Cao's side.

"Zhicai" Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, standing under the starry sky in the dark night, but his eyes involuntarily looked at the direction of Jinling City, and said lightly: "At this moment, Jinling City should be about to bleed."

"Three days ago, news came from Jinling City that Sun Zhongmou had returned to Jinling City" Xi Zhicai's eyes contained a hint of banter, and the corners of his mouth outlined a hint of a nonchalant smile, and said: "Sun Zhongmou is indeed a real dragon, but Sun Bofu is an arrogant lion, Jinling City." t1706231537:
