Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

The third day of October.

Cao Cao burned Wuchao, beheaded Chunyu Qiong, and wiped out ten thousand enemies.

The fifth day of October.

Zhang He commanded 20,000 troops from his headquarters and defected to Cao Cao.

The eighth day of October.

Yuan's army ran out of food and its morale was in chaos.

Cao Cao's army came out in full force and divided his troops into ten groups to attack Yuan Ying.

The tenth day of October.

Yuan Shao was so frightened that he abandoned his camp and fled north.

Yuan's army of 150,000 troops collapsed, abandoned their camp and fled north to watch the wind.

The five-month confrontation in Guandu ended with Yuan Shao's defeat and Cao Cao's victory.

…

When the sun sets in the west.

Cao Cao rode his horse and whipped his whip, with a proud expression on his face as he walked over the ruins of Yuan Camp.

The corpses of Yuan Jun were everywhere, and abandoned weapons and drums were everywhere. This shows how tragic Yuan Jun's defeat was.

When Cao Cao arrived at the Chinese army's tent, he saw that Yuan Shao's golden helmets were still on the table.

"You didn't even have time to put on your helmet. Yuan Benchu, it seems that you escaped in such an embarrassing manner."

Cao Cao picked up Yuan Shao's golden helmet with his sword, with a sarcastic sneer on his lips.

Behind him, Guo Jia cupped his hands and smiled:

"Congratulations Sikong, this battle is a complete victory"

"thisAfter the war, Yuan Shao's vitality was seriously injured and he was no longer able to go south."

"This is the offensive and defensive momentum!"

The generals all handed over their hands in congratulations.

At this moment, Cao Cao, the pressure accumulated in his heart was completely released, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.

A messenger flew away

"Report to Sikong, urgent report from Xuzhou"

"Liu Bei defeated Yuan Tan in Xiangcheng a few days ago"

"Lu Bu was killed by him, Gao Lan, Jiao Chu, etc. were all killed by Liu Bei."

"Yuan Tan and his 5,000 Youyan cavalry lost a total of 40,400 troops and suffered heavy casualties."

"Now Liu Bei's army is approaching Xiapi!"

The messenger dismounted and delivered the news from the Eastern Front.

There was an uproar. Cao Cao was shocked, and the joy on his face was instantly wiped out by the shocking news.

He had been fighting Yuan Shao for half a year here, and he only managed to defeat him. After defeating Yuan Shao, there is still a large area of ​​land to recover.

Liu Bei easily defeated Yuan Tan, and the national border was pushed from the Huai River to the Xiapi line.

Comparing people with each other is so annoying!

"Most of Yuan Tan's 80,000-strong army was lost in just a few days?"

"Lu Bu was the best general in the world, but he died at the hands of Liu Bei?"

"How can this be!"

Cao Cao exclaimed, snatching the information from the messenger's hand, and couldn't wait to take a closer look.

His eyes gradually widened, and his look of surprise and confusion only increased.

"Who is Zhao Yun? He can kill Lu Bu, the best in the world?"

"Why did the big-eared thief suddenly get such a great general?"

"What kind of crossbow is this repeating crossbow? A mere five hundred pieces can actually defeat five thousand Youyan cavalry?"

Cao Cao murmured in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

It seemed that the battle on the Eastern Front was completely beyond his understanding and he could not understand it.

The generals on the left and right were already talking in shock.

"I didn't expect Yuan Tan to be such a waste!"

"Sikong, we can't let the big-eared thieves attack Xiapi. We must immediately send our troops south to attack Shouchun and steal the big-eared thieves' escape route!"

Xia Houyuan was shocked and angry, and asked for a fight.

All the generals asked for a fight.

Now that Yuan Shao's main force has been defeated, the pressure on the north has been relieved.

At this time, if you don't spare (bbbg) your hands to deal with Liu Bei and seize Huainan, how can you still sit back and watch Liu Bei Failed to capture Xuzhou?

After a bloody battle, wouldn't Liu Bei get a huge advantage in the end?

With such a big loss, Xia Houyuan and other generals naturally refused to take it in vain.

Cao Cao clenched the information in his fists and frowned deeply. A trace of hatred gradually ignited in his eyes.

He recalled the fiasco of Wancheng and the fiasco of Shangcai.

The revenge of Cao Hong and Cao Anmin has not been avenged. The second son Cao Pi is still in the hands of Liu Bei, and his life and death are uncertain.

This revenge This hatred will be unforgettable day and night.

If it weren't for resisting Yuan Shao, he would have rushed to Huainan with all his troops to fight Liu Bei to the death. How could he endure it until now, let Liu Bei take advantage of the situation to swallow up Huainan, and now even The appetite is so big that even Xuzhou might want to swallow it.

"Sikong Jia thinks that we should bear with Liu Bei for the time being."

Guo Jia suddenly spoke and agreed with the generals.

Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly and looked at Guo Jia

"Liu Bei has now secured Huainan and won the hearts of the people."

"On the line from Shangcai to Shouchun, nearly 30,000 troops were gathered, obviously to prevent our army from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack."

"Moreover, Huainan is densely covered with water networks. Even if Sikong mobilizes all his troops to move south, he may not be able to achieve victory in a short period of time."

"After being unable to attack for a long time and falling into the quagmire of Huainan, wouldn't it give Yuan Shao a chance to regain his strength?"

"If Yuan Shao's army regains its strength and emerges from the shadow of a disastrous defeat, then won't the battle of Guandu that we fought hard for half a year be in vain?"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao was shocked and suddenly realized something.

"Therefore, what we urgently need to do now is not to have a moral dispute with Liu Bei, but to maximize the results of the Guandu Battle."

"Jia thought that his lord should take advantage of the victory and pursue him northward, capture Yecheng in one fell swoop, destroy Yuan Shao, and capture all of Hebei."

"As for Liu Bei"

"After Yuan Tan retreats to Xiapi, he will not dare to fight Liu Bei again. He will definitely defend Xiapi and cannot escape."

"Let's use Yuan Tan to pin Liu Bei to the front line of Xiapi"

"After Sikong captured Hebei, wouldn't it be easy to return to Qingzhou and Xuzhou and use troops eastward?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"At that time, Sikong completely occupied the two river states and completely drove Liu Bei out of the Central Plains. It was easy to drive Liu Bei back to the south of the Huai River."

"Then Sikong took another army from the north and sent his troops southward. Then he defeated the two states of Jingyang and it was not too late to destroy Liu Bei."

If Cao Cao realized something, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiapi.

After thinking for a long time,

Cao Cao took a deep breath and his eyes became determined.

"Filial piety makes sense"

"At this time, Liu Bei's wings were full, so instead of marching south, he would rather go north and not give Yuan Shao a chance to breathe."

"As for the big-eared thief, let that boy Yuan Tan nail him to Xiapi first!"

"I just hope that boy can have a longer memory and defend Xiapi City honestly, and stop dreaming about those unrealistic dreams and trying to defeat Liu Bei."

Cao Cao was determined.

So he unified the victorious army and pursued him all the way north.

Yuan Shao, pursued by Cao Cao, took the road and fled north, passing through the city along the way without daring to enter. He fled for five days and five nights, and finally crossed the White Horse Crossing Escaped the Yellow River and settled in Liyang, an important town on the north bank.

…

Liyang City.

In the dim lobby, the atmosphere was deathly silent.[]

Yuan Shao's face was withered and pale as paper, and he was drinking cup after cup of alcohol.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ju Shou Feng Ji and other generals and advisers all looked gloomy, shook their heads and sighed, still immersed in the shadow of the Guandu defeat.

"boom!"

The wine glass in Yuan Shao's hand suddenly hit the table.

"My army of 150,000 should be able to sweep across the world and no one can stop it!"

"Why was I defeated by the Cao thief?"

"Why? Why——"

Yuan Shao beat his chest and stamped his feet, looked up to the sky and asked in anger and confusion.

All the ministers shook their heads and sighed

"Lord, although the main force of our army has been decimated in this battle, we still have about 60,000 men and horses available to gather the defeated army."

"I thought that I should immediately give the eldest son an order to abandon Qingxu Prefecture and immediately withdraw all the Qingxu Army to the north of the Yellow River."

"In this way, we can shrink the front and concentrate our forces to defend the natural dangers of the Yellow River."

"After Liu Bei captured the two states of Qingxu, he would share the Central Plains with Cao Cao."

"As long as we hold the Yellow River defense line and prevent the two thieves Cao and Liu from attacking our Hebei province, the two thieves will definitely turn their guns and start a war with each other to seize the Central Plains."

"As soon as the two thieves Cao and Liu start fighting, we will have a chance to breathe. We can take the opportunity to regain our strength and regroup."

"When the two thieves were killed and both were injured, the lord then sent his troops across the river to attack the Central Plains for the second time."

"When I introduce it, I will be able to wash away the shame of Guandu and defeat the two thieves Cao and Liu in one fell swoop!"

Amidst the sighs, Jushou was the first to stand up and offered Yuan Shao a strategy to reverse the defeat.

But when Yuan Shao said this strategy, his expression changed.

Guandu suffered a disastrous defeat, and all the counties north of Xudu were defeated. What was gained and lost was returned to Cao Cao.

This was not enough, and you wanted him to give up Xuzhou and Qingzhou as well?

Yuan Shao was furious, and he slapped the case and said angrily:

"In the battle of Guandu, I lost countless soldiers and generals, and lost all the land in Henan. This has already damaged my reputation."

"Now you actually ask me to abandon the two states of Qingxu without a fight!"

"How do you ask me to face the people of Hebei? Do you want my reputation to be tarnished and make everyone in the world laugh at me?"

Jushou was shuddered, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

He knew that his words had offended Yuan Shao's sensitive self-esteem.

If he continued to persuade him, he would only be asking for trouble.

But in such a critical time, he also cared about Not much.

So I had to bite the bullet and persuade again:

"My lord, how can you care about your face when it comes to this?"

"The defeat of Guandu shocked Qingxu's people. Even if the lord did not abandon Qingxu's defense, the eldest son might not be able to defend it."

"By then, not only will the two states of Qingxu be lost, but tens of thousands of the eldest son’s troops may also die in Liu Bei’s hands!"

"Lord, please put the overall situation first and don't sacrifice tens of thousands of precious soldiers just for the sake of face!"

Jushou's advice was loyal and he urged Yuan Shao to put down his shameful reputation.

Yuan Shao suffered a tragic defeat at Guandu, and he was holding a breath in his heart. Jushou's advice was offensive and instantly exploded all his resentment.

"What a great professor!"

"You are mediocre and incompetent. You failed to see through the Cao thieves' plan to attack our grain camp in the Guandu battle, and now you are openly mocking me!"

"You are so brave, how can I spare you!"

"Someone, drag him down and behead him immediately!"

Yuan Shao was so angry that he actually wanted to kill Ju Shou!.
