Yuan Shao used his own shortcomings to attack Cao Cao's strengths, and he was still able to win. What an advantage it would be!
Seeing this, everyone became more curious about what Xu You had done to allow Yuan Shao, who was crushing the game, to lose to Cao Cao.
In the picture, Yuan Shao moved his army to approach the lower village of Guandu. He selected strong soldiers and used shovels to level the soil. They came to the edge of Cao Cao's stronghold and piled earth into a mountain. When Cao Ying saw Yuan Shao building a mountain, he wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the crossbowmen of Shen Pei and could not move forward.
Ten days later, Yuan Shao built more than fifty earthen hills, erected high oars, and sent archers to shoot arrows at Cao Cao's camp. The arrows were like heavy rain, and Cao's troops all covered their shields and fell to the ground to avoid them.
At this time, Cao Cao's counselor Liu Ye came up with a plan to use thunderbolt chariots and throw rocks at the archers on Yuan Shaotu Mountain. Cao Cao agreed. Suddenly Cao Cao's camp turned the thunderbolt chariots together, and the cannons and rocks flew into the air.
Seeing this, the judge ordered people to dig a tunnel in order to penetrate into Cao's camp from underground. Liu Ye also proposed a plan to dig a chasm around the camp to break it.
Cao Cao ordered people to dig the trench overnight, and Yuan's army dug tunnels to the edge of the trench. As expected, they were unable to enter, which was a waste of military power.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao went back and forth for several rounds, but everyone still didn't notice anything. Both sides handled the situation appropriately, and Yuan Shao didn't make any mistakes this time.
Cao Cao guarded Guandu from the beginning of August to the end of September. His army gradually became exhausted and his supplies were out of stock. Cao Cao wanted to abandon Guandu and return to Xuchang. However, he hesitated, so he ordered people to go to Xuchang to ask Xun Yu for his opinion. He wrote a letter and gave it to Cao Cao.
"Accepting the order of the Lord, I doubt whether you will advance or retreat. Yuan Shao knew that everyone gathered in Guandu, hoping to decide the outcome with Duke Ming. If Duke Ming is weak, he will be strong. If he cannot be defeated, he will be inherited. This is the great opportunity of the world. Shao Although the army is numerous, it cannot be used. How can the gods, warriors and wise men of Gongjin fail to help! Although the army of Jinjin is actually small, it is not as good as that of Chu and Han in Xingyang and Chenggao. Gongjin drew the ground and defended it, grabbing his throat. If you can't advance, you will see that the situation is exhausted and there will be changes. When this is used strangely, it must not be missed. Only Ming Gongcai will check it."
Xun Yu believed that Cao Cao's current situation was much better than that of Liu Bang during the Chu-Han War at Xingyang, and suggested that Cao Cao persist and use cunning tactics to win.
"Could it be that Cao Cao instigated a discord between me and Xu You, and Xu You betrayed him and defected to Cao Cao?" Yuan Shao guessed that during the Chu-Han Xingyang War, the Chu and Han sides faced off in Xingyang for more than a year.
Xiang Yu repeatedly invaded and captured the Yongdao, and the Han army was short of food. Liu Bang asked Xiang Yu for peace, and requested that the west of Xingyang be cut off as Han territory, but Xiang Yu disagreed. Later, Chen Ping used a trick to drive a wedge between Xiang and Fan. As expected, Xiang Yu fell into the trap and suspected Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng resigned in anger and Zhongdao died of illness, leaving Xiang Yu without a large helping hand.
Xun Yu proposed this strategy to Cao Cao, and Xu You's betrayal of him was probably because he and Xu You had fallen into Cao Cao's scheme!
"Sir, you are really a great talent!" Cao Cao gave Xun Yu a thumbs up and praised him. If Xun Yu hadn't let him continue to fight in the picture, maybe the world would be named Yuan in the future.
Although history has changed now, no matter how history changes, a person's wisdom will not change!
Now I have Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, Wu Dianwei, Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren and others who are more powerful than myself in the picture. The self in the picture can defeat Yuan Shao, and the real self can also You can also defeat Yuan Shao!
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, so what if he was surrounded by enemies on all sides. He retreated to Runan. Liu Biao and Yuan Shu restrained each other. Yuan Shao attacked Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were offended. Yuan Shao was restrained by Gongsun and Liu. Now Dong Zhuo There seems to be some friction with Xiliang. It can be said that he is relatively safe at the moment, and he also obtained a county in Yuzhou while Yuan Shu was critically ill. He has become stronger and has no one to govern him. He can slowly develop into Xuzhou or Qingzhou.
Moreover, Luoyang was burned down by Dong Zhuo and became a ruin without anyone occupying it. Later, he could develop into Luoyang and occupy its wasteland. With the wasteland, he could grow food. If he had food, he could recruit troops to strengthen himself.
Moreover, Luoyang borders Bingzhou and Jizhou. In the future, whether it is developing towards Bingzhou or attacking Yuan Shao in Jizhou, it can be used as a transit point. Moreover, Luoyang and Yanzhou also have the Hulao Pass, which can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating!
In just a short period of time, Cao Cao had figured out his future development route. Being surrounded by enemies on all sides has the disadvantages of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, but it also has the advantages of being surrounded by enemies on all sides!
As the scene played here, everyone began to focus their attention. The turning point may be coming!
Especially Yuan Shao, he wanted to see how Cao Cao instigated the relationship between him and Xu You. If he and Xu You were really instigated by Cao Cao, then he had just wronged Xu You.
In the picture, a young man named Shi Huanhuo is one of Xu Huang's subordinates. It was Cao Cao's work. Shi Huanhuo reported important news to Xu Huang: "General Yuan Shao, Han Meng, transported grain and grass to the front of the army." And Han Meng's Tell Xu Huang the grain transportation route.
When Xu Huang learned about it, he immediately informed Cao Cao.
In the picture, Cao Cao placed countermeasures in Yuan Shao's army, which also served as a reminder to all the princes. When they march in the future, they must first check internally to see if there are any countermeasures. Placing spies into the enemy's army is a very common method in the battle between the two armies, but it is also a method that has both benefits and risks. It is easy to prepare the information, but if the information is not accurate, you may be ruined.
As expected, Yuan Shao's provisions were intercepted by Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao lost his army rations. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Han Meng, but was stopped by everyone. At this time, the judge suggested that the army's rations were the most important thing, so they must be careful and let Yuan Shao pay attention to Wuchao, a ration station. place.
However, Yuan Shao disagreed and asked Shen Pei to return to Yecheng to supervise the grain and grass. He ordered Chunyu Qiong to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Wuchao. However, Chunyu Qiong was a drunkard and drank and had fun with the soldiers all day long.
"I'm so angry!" Yuan Shao saw Chunyu Qiong on the big screen neglecting his duties and drinking and having fun all day long. He was so angry that he unconsciously patted the answering station. There were countless good drinkers in the army, but he put such an important responsibility on food and grass. It was entrusted to him, but he didn't care and drank and had fun all day long!
There is no need to read the rest, he can already predict the result. He and Xu You must have fallen into Cao Cao's plan to alienate each other. Xu You told Cao Cao about Chun Yuqiong and Wuchao, and then Cao Cao made a surprise attack on Wuchao and let himself This battle was a disastrous defeat, and all the consequences were caused by Chunyu Qiong's neglect of duties and drinking and having fun.
If he sticks to his post and is stationed with 20,000 troops, how can he, Cao Cao, make a surprise attack!
Seeing this, everyone seemed to understand why Yuan Shao's good cards were badly played. This was from top to bottom. The lord did not listen to the advisors, the soldiers neglected their duties, and the generals and advisors turned against each other. Who do you want to lose? Lose!
But Yuan Shao didn't expect that things were far more than that simple!
