The historical process is advancing and the Battle of Guandu begins.

The Battle of Guandu was one of the most important battles in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought a decisive battle in Guandu. After more than a year, the winner was finally decided. The two sides of the battle were the strongest vassal forces at that time. As long as they achieved a decisive victory in this battle, half of the country would be won. From then on, they would become the most powerful contender for the world's hegemony.

None of them!

In such an important battle, Zhao Long, Emperor Wu of Han and others contacted A Niu offline as soon as possible. In the eyes of Zhao Long and others, A Niu and Cao Cao were allies for many years, and they also had the promise of helping Cao Cao fight against Yuan Shao. After learning the news, they would definitely return to the game soon, and everyone could fight side by side again. However, what they had unexpected was that a city lord did not return to the game immediately. It was not until the fifteen-day battle preparation period was about to end that A Niu appeared in a hurry.

"Ha, I'm here." A certain city lord said, haha, and he looked very good.

Zong Wuyan glared at a city lord. Zhao Long, who had always "respected his wife", immediately made accusations for the tiger, and a few frost could be scraped off his face. Feifei sat aside and winked, as if she was a little gloating, but more because she was glad that A Niu rushed back in time. Emperor Wu of Han was not in a mood and urged A Niu to choose a camp.

"The last chance to choose a camp is two hours left."

A Niu raised his eyebrows: "Oh, did you choose?"

A group of people almost vomited blood. Zong Wuyan and Zhao Long were murderous intent and gritted their teeth and said, "We are all waiting for someone!"

Emperor Wu of Han sighed: "We'd better go forward and retreat together, but you're not here. Zhao Yun and the others insist on waiting for you to come back. Whatever they say, Fengxiang is also a vassal force, and it doesn't matter whether they choose a camp. Anyway, whether they choose a camp or not will help Cao Cao fight this battle. Fengxiang doesn't expect to benefit by participating in the battle... Brother Niu, we know it's the truth. It doesn't matter whether Fengxiang chooses a camp or not, but it's still very important to us, the people. We have discussed it. If you haven't come back before the countdown ends, we have to choose a camp to join."

A certain city lord finally understood why Zong Wuyan and others had murderous aura and didn't like him. Having said that, Zhao Yun was telling the truth, and if he wanted to blame him, he had to blame himself for returning late.

A Niu smiled dryly and said, "Two hours are enough. What are your plans?"

Feifei said: "There has not been a unified opinion yet, so it is difficult to choose."

"Huh?" A Niu was stunned. With his relationship with Cao Cao, Feng Xiang must be on Cao Cao's side. According to common sense, it should be easy for these friends to make choices. Just join Cao Cao's camp directly, but there is no unified opinion until now, which is obviously not normal. Such a situation can only show that the current situation in the game is probably not as simple as imagined.

"What's the situation now? Is Yuan Shao's great pleasure?"

Everyone nodded together, their expressions were quite serious.

The information Zhao Long will collect will be briefly shared with everyone. Of course, it is mainly for the late A Niu to listen to, and everyone else knows it.

"The game progress has been going on for three years, and the Battle of Guandu suddenly started. There is news that it is the one who promotes the development of the plot. It is likely that the Lord of Jiangyi City was Wushang Xiaoma. The news was reported as a close friend of Xiaoma... Well, that doesn't matter. I will focus on the comparison of the strength of the two major camps and the deployment of troops.

After the system was maintained, the deployment of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's troops had been automatically adjusted.

Yuan Shao selected 400,000 elite troops and 50,000 horses in the four prefectures of You and Qing, and went south to attack Xudu. After the news came out, Xudu was uneasy. Many of Cao Cao's subordinates believed that the Yuan army was unstoppable, but with Guo Jiaxian's ten victories and ten losses in front, Cao Cao was determined to mobilize all his strength, with 80,000 troops to fight against Yuan Shao's attack. 400,000 vs. 80,000, Cao Cao was at an absolute disadvantage. This is also why many generals under Cao Cao believed that they were "invincible".

In order to gain strategic initiative, Cao Cao did not divide his troops to set up defenses along the south bank of the Yellow River, but instead concentrated his troops to guard the key passes and focus on defense, waiting for labor. He sent Zang Ba to deploy defenses in Jinan County, Qingzhou, to restrain Yuan Tan's troops from the plains and Le'an, and consolidate his right wing; ordered Yujin to guard Yanjin, and assisted Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun who guarded Baima, to block Yuan's army from crossing the river and driving south; Cao Cao led his troops to seize Liyang; Cao's main force built a fortress in Guandu to defend against Yuan's army's frontal attack; in addition, Cao Cao sent Hedong Wei Ji to pacify Guanzhong, and since then Guanzhong was controlled by the court, Cao Cao also sent people to win over Liangzhou and stabilize the left wing; Zhang Xiu of Nanyang had also surrendered earlier, and there was no worries in the south of Xuchang. At this point, Cao Cao did everything he could and went to the decisive battle with Yuan Shao."

A Niu nodded silently.

After all, it was a direct system adjustment, and Cao Cao's response was almost the same as in history. The biggest difference was perhaps the Qingzhou side. Originally, Zang Ba should have occupied Qi State, Beihai and Le'an, but in the game, because Yuan Tan grabbed Le'an State in advance, and Fengxiang owned Qi State and Donglai, Zang Ba's pressure was greatly reduced, and he just needed to defend Jinan.

A Niu also had questions: "Yuan Shao sent 400,000 troops? I remember that he did not have so many soldiers in history!"

Emperor Wu of Han said in a muffled voice: "There are 400,000, but there are only 100,000 in history. The game is four times that in history. In order to figure out why Yuan Shao's strength has improved significantly, I have specially studied that period of history for many reasons.

First, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan in advance. In history, Gongsun Zan was defeated in 199, and in the game, he was destroyed in 192, Yuan Shao occupied Youzhou seven years ahead of schedule; second, it was related to Feilong Baby. The Black Mountain Army, which had been plaguing with Yuan Shao in Jizhou and other small Yellow Turban Army, were led north to Youzhou by him and eventually settled in Liaodong, objectively helping Yuan Shao solve his confidant problems. Originally, Yuan Shao fought with the Black Mountain Army for many years, and spent countless money and food, and passed by the game safely; the Black Mountain Army disappeared, and even before Gongsun Zan's demise, Yuan Shao had at least seven years of rest and recuperation, and his strength increased several times compared to history.

In fact, Cao Cao's strength is also stronger than in history.

In the game, Cao Cao got Jinan and Beihai in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shu was eliminated in advance, so Cao Cao took some advantage. Although his 80,000 troops seemed shabby compared to Yuan Shao, in history, he could only raise 20,000 troops during the Battle of Guandu...

After all, it’s a game, and many things have changed because of the players.”

A city lord was puzzled and said, "In this way, the forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are four times that of history, and the strength comparison has not changed drastically. Why do people generally look down on Cao Cao? In the Battle of Guandu, I must fight side by side with Cao Cao. In addition to Fengxiang City, can't everyone be more optimistic?"

Feifei said with a frown: "If it weren't for Brother Niu, Cao Cao would hardly see a win."

"Ah, how is that possible! Is there something wrong with the historical figures of the two families?"

Emperor Wu of Han said: "There is no big difference in historical figures. Except for talents who die early or are subdued by players, most of the other historical figures are directly adjusted.

On Yuan Shao's side, Zhang He and Gao Lan from the Four Courtyards of Hebei, one in the Bo Ancient City of Invincible Dongzi, and the other in my Huoyun City, were all subdued by players, and there were losses before the war began.

But Yuan Shao also gained unexpected results.

Somehow, Guan Yu did not surrender to Han and Cao like in the Romance, but joined Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to Yuan Shao's tent. In the Romance, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two powerful generals under Yuan Shao, both died under Guan Yu's sword. But now, Guan Yu is in Yuan Shao's camp, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou will definitely not die at his hands. With this alone, Yuan Shao equalized the losses of Zhang He and Gao Lan being subdued by the players. The most fatal thing is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were added in vain! Compared with the two, Cao Cao was still at a loss."

In fact, Ju Yi should also be in Yuan Shao's camp, but he was killed by Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu. He played for Fengxiang City, which had no effect on Yuan Shao's strength in this battle.

When he learned that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not separated from Liu Bei, they were working together under Yuan Shao's tent, even A Niu felt a little overwhelmed. This was not simply two more gods. In this way, Yan Liang and Wen Chou became variables. After a while, Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation, so it was no wonder that everyone was not optimistic about Cao Cao.

After thinking for a while, A Niu said, "Well, it's really a bit troublesome... However, I, Feng Xiang, dare not boast about others. There are still many powerful men who can fight. There are only a few king-level generals, and several special troops are experienced and battled. I dare not say anything else, I am still sure to restrain Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Fengxiang will definitely help Cao Cao, and the Liaodong Army of Feilong Baby will definitely stand on Cao Cao's side; the martial arts brother has Gao Lan, Wu Yan and Qu Chen, and Zilong will be the largest gang in the world, and they all have a certain amount. When we join forces, Cao Cao's situation seems not to be so bad, right?"

Everyone smiled bitterly at the same time.

Zhao Long glanced at a city lord and said dissatisfiedly: "Some people are not enterprising and have left for too long. Their thinking is still a few years ago and they don't know the current situation at all. If you just retired, we were really worth it. But now we are different from the past. There are many great players among players, and the gap between adventurers and lords is not as obvious as before. It is not the era when Feng Xiang can cover the sky with his hands..."

A Niu didn't think it was offensive, and laughed and said, "Nonsense, I often come back, okay! Don't blame me for being unstable. I really haven't heard of any player's power that is stronger than me, Fengxiang."

Zhao Long said: "Fengxiang is still the strongest among players. I don't deny this, but in recent years, Fengxiang has focused on its own development and its external expansion is limited to the Japanese island. Although the overall strength has been improved, the increase is still relatively behind compared with other powerful forces. Not to mention anything else, Kakaluka's Five Lakes, the uninhabited and invincible Dongzi's Bogu, the strength gap between Fengxiang is narrowing.

In addition, although Wushang Xiaoma Ge's Jiangyi City, Sanyang City, which is the world's most reliable, and Shiling City, Yang Weili's Shiling City, has not been able to become a prince, and has developed rapidly in recent years and its strength has expanded extremely considerable. However, the fastest improvement of strength is the adventurer, not the level you were when you left a few years ago. For example: I have the ability to defeat an ordinary territory NPC soldier with enough medicine! A better equipped player will not even be killed by the prince soldiers in seconds. The current war mode is very different from before..." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
