Chapter 720 The Battle of Guandu

However, before, Yuan Shao stationed troops in Liyang, and the former army attacked Baima, trying to cross the Yellow River from this direction and attack Cao's camp. On this side of Baima, there was the important border town of Dongjun, the important town of Cao's army, which was where Cao Cao rose early in the morning, and Juancheng was also nearby. At the beginning, because Yuan Shao was an ally and Xuzhou was not Cao Cao's territory, Cao's heavy troops were always in Juancheng, not Dongjun.

However, later Xuzhou was captured and Yuan Shao became an enemy. The strategic focus naturally changed. All the heavy troops in Juancheng were transferred to Dongjun, and the defenders left in Juancheng were probably only a few thousand, less than ten thousand.

Then once Yuan Shao's army crossed the Yellow River and was flat, Juancheng would definitely be very dangerous. Juancheng was a big city after all, and the reason why Cao Cao could resist Lu Bu's retake of Yanzhou was largely due to Juancheng. I remember that Xiao Qiao had proposed to go to Juancheng to avoid the war because of this, it was because of the solidity of Juancheng. Therefore, if Yuan Shao really took Juancheng down, it would probably be more difficult for Cao Cao to defeat him.

And not only that, the reason why Juancheng was an important town at the beginning was that it was to stalk the fortress of Xuzhou. If Yuan Shao really took Juancheng and cut off the connection between Xu Du and Xuzhou, Xuzhou would probably fall into Yuan Shao's hands soon.

Therefore, just in case, Cao Cao thought it would be better to add some guards to guard Juancheng. As a result, Cheng Yu, who is now in charge of Juancheng, refused to accept it. Cheng Yu believed that Yuan Shao had 100,000 troops and thought he was in a move. If he saw that there were few soldiers in Juancheng, with Yuan Shao's personality, he would be suspicious and worried about whether there were traps and would not march easily. On the contrary, if the troops were increased, it would be easier for Yuan Shao to know that the defense here was indeed empty. In that case, it would be difficult to say.

Worrying that Yuan Shao will invade, there will inevitably be a lot of troops. If there are too many troops, Cao Cao's current military strength is not enough, so if you want to increase it, it is better to go there and fight Yuan Shao there. However, the initiative is now on Yuan Shao's side. It is not that if Cao Cao wants to fight Yuan Shao here, Yuan Shao will fight you here. Don't forget that Cao Cao's base camp is in Xudu, Emperor Xian is also in Xudu, and Yuan Shao's ultimate goal is also Xudu. Cao Cao concentrates all his troops here and makes Xudu empty. This is definitely very dangerous.

Cao Cao followed Cheng Yu's advice and decided not to increase troops to Juancheng. Sure enough, Yuan Shao saw that the few soldiers in Juancheng were young and thought that Cao Cao might have conspiracy. He was suspicious and thought that his ultimate goal was to be Xudu anyway. Even if he captured Juancheng, he would still have to fight Xudu later. If that is the case, why should he take the risk to fight Juancheng? It would be better to just attack Xudu!

So, Yuan Shao did not continue to attack from Baima. Instead, he moved his troops directly to Guandu, and pointed his target at Xu Du! In response, although Cheng Yu was accurate in providing information, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh that Cheng Yu is really brave. If it were the suggestion made by the adviser of Xu Du, it would be fine. But as a person guarding Juancheng, if Cheng Yu makes a mistake and once he calculates it wrong, Yuan Shao will really go to fight Juancheng, and Cheng Yu will be tragic at that time!

In short, the highly anticipated Battle of Guandu officially began!

Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others were naturally in a hurry, so they cleaned up again, led their troops to the front line to fight against Yuan Shao.

In front of the two armies, there were gongs and drums, red flags roaring, and firecrackers roaring. Yuan Shao was golden helmet and golden armor. In short, he was full of golden yellow, showing the look of a local tyrant. He immediately had a horse in front of the formation. Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Chunyu Qiong and other generals were arranged left and right. The flags, flags, quarrels and axes were very strict. I have to say that if you only look at the appearance, the person who deserves the most is not Cao Cao or Liu Bei, but Yuan Shao!

On this side, Cao Cao also took action, Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Li Dian and others, each holding weapons and guarding each other.

As always, before the two sides fight, they have to talk a little first!

Cao Cao held the horse whip and pointed at Yuan Shao from afar and asked,

"I promised you to be the general in front of the emperor. Why do you still want to rebel in Yuan Shao?"

Yuan Shao was furious and replied,

"You are the one who is named Han Prime Minister, but you are actually a traitor! The crime is so great that Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo are more afraid of evil people complaining first, but instead falsely accusing others of rebellion?!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and took out an imperial edict.

"I am now ordered to fight against rebellion. Who do you think is rebelling?"

Yuan Shao also waved his hand, of course, he didn't take out anything, just said,

"I will wear a sack of clothes and decrees to fight against the thief!"

Sure enough, after Liu Bei arrived at Yuan Shao's side, the name of the robbery was immediately taken advantage of by Yuan Shao.

Needless to say, the two sides naturally can't say who, and no one agrees. This is of course. Everyone knew that this would be the result early in the morning. So why do you have to waste your energy and do useless work? In the eyes of the world, you may have to justify yourself first and show that you are the teacher of justice. But in Guo Jia's eyes, everyone is calm, so why fight? The reason why people fight is because they are angry is because they are angry, so it is better to curse them first, "Male Gobi" and "I bought a watch last year". Everyone was angry all of a sudden, and their blood was rising. What's the energy to fight!

Sure enough, Cao Cao was furious, damn, Zhang Liao, come on to me! Yuan Shao also waved his hand, your sister, Zhang He killed him for the boss!

So, Zhang Liao went to fight, and Zhang Tai came to meet him. The two generals named Zhang fought for forty or fifty rounds, but they were not sure of the outcome. Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly amazement. It turned out that Yuan Shao's command, in addition to the dead Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there was such a powerful general. Cao Cao always cherished his military generals, just like when he was fighting Lu Bu, he often had to fight with people, so this time was no exception. Seeing that Zhang Liao had not won the opponent for dozens of moves, what if the other party pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger like Xu Chu? If Zhang Liao died here because of this, wouldn't it be a pity!

So, Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and drew his sword for me. He went up together and killed him! Yuan Shao was naturally not willing to be outdone and stood up side by side! In this way, several generals from both sides fought each other, and for a while, they were in chaos. Cao Cao quickly asked Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong to lead three thousand troops to rush to the formation. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was prepared. When Shen Pei saw Cao's army coming to rush to the formation, he immediately asked to fire the cannon. In an instant, two thousand crossbows were launched, and the archers in the central army rushed out of the formation and shot randomly.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Yuan Shao had this trick, so he could not resist it. Guo Jia was shocked. Damn, didn't you agree to only fight a few words today? Why did you even launch an indiscriminate attack?! With these thousands of arrows at once, you may be lucky and you may die! Even if Guo Jia has the destiny, if he shoots his hand, his feet, or even his little **, who will Guo Jia cry? So, Guo Jia doesn't care about anything else, and immediately turns around and rides a horse and runs. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
