Qingzhou.
When the battle of Chang'an came to an end, the battle here also reached its most critical moment. And at this moment, it is time to decide which of the three princes in Qingzhou will come to an end early!
To be honest, in terms of military strength alone, although Liu Bei and Dou Jiande teamed up to deal with Guo Wei's side, the two sides did not have the advantage at this point. Even if one side has a little more troops than the other, it is really just a little more. It is not enough to affect the direction of the battle, let alone to determine which side will win.
But for this period of time, Guo Wei has been depressed. It's not that his ability to command troops is not as good as his opponent's, nor that his soldiers are not as brave as his opponent's soldiers, but because they don't have the means to deal with such a terrifying existence as the Bull Demon. Therefore, Guo Wei has not been doing well during this period!
Under the command of Su Qin and Di Qing, every time they fought, Niu Mo did nothing else but singled out middle and low-level officers such as Quhou, Army Sima, and ordinary school captains to fight.
And with the strength of the Bull Demon, specifically looking for trouble for these people, these people are naturally unstoppable. If you only lose a few middle and low-level officers, it is not a loss to Guo Wei, and Guo Wei will not even blink! But what if officers of this level lose a lot?
Without these middle and low-level officers as a medium, how can a commander, no matter how amazing his commanding ability is, control the army and command it to victory!
Let alone Guo Wei, even god-level commanders like Bai Qi and Han Xin cannot mobilize a certain size of army to fight by themselves. If they want to give full play to their best abilities, they must have the cooperation of the generals below so that they can control their armies easily.
This is not a few people or dozens of people, but a battle between tens of thousands of people. Without the cooperation of the middle and lower levels below, no matter how good Guo Wei's command is, he will not be able to perform at all!
It wasn't until Guo Duanfu appeared that Guo Wei's condition improved a little, but only a little. Because Guo Duanfu is also no match for Niu Mo. Moreover, the gap between them is really not small.
After all, one of them is a high-level general with a basic strength of 108, and the other is a junior general with a basic strength of 106. Fortunately, Guo Duanfu saw the opportunity and did not hold on. The two sides had not fought for a long time. He felt that he was about to fall into a disadvantage and quickly found a way to escape.
Moreover, what makes Guo Wei even more depressed is that after Guo Duanfu on his side appeared, Guan Yu on the enemy's side also entered the battlefield again. Although Guan Yu's arrow injury has not recovered 100%, it is still possible to prevent Guo Duanfu from interfering in other places.
So, all of a sudden, the Bull Demon can start wreaking havoc on the battlefield again.
Although Guo Wei's wealth is richer than that of either Liu Bei or Dou Jiande, it is impossible for him to continue to lose like this. In fact, after suffering several consecutive defeats, Guo Wei now doesn't have much capital left.
The reason why Guo Wei can still hold on until now is because he gave those under his command some illusory hope. Because Guo Wei had already asked Chai Rong to ask for help from Chi You in Yanzhou.
But Guo Wei himself knew very well that there would be no reinforcements this time, and his so-called request for help was just a cover. First, he had no friendship with Chi You, so what obligation and reason did Chi You have to help him? Secondly, although the battle between Chi You and Xuzhou Zhao Kuangyin has come to an end, Chi You has no intention of dividing his troops at this time.
Although Zhao Kuangyin had just put on his royal robes and captured Xuzhou from Tao Qian, Chi You came to fight before the hearts of the people had surrendered. But Lao Zhao is Lao Zhao. Even if he got off to a bad start, he only lost one county in Chi You's hands.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Kuangyin can do this is not only due to his own ability, but also because of his relationship with the aristocratic families in Xuzhou.
Compared to Zhao Kuangyin and Chi You, Xuzhou's aristocratic families, large and small, naturally have a more favorable impression of Zhao Kuangyin. Or it may be that all the aristocratic families in the world are not very interested in Chi You. Coupled with Zhao Kuangyin's own efforts and some temporary interest compromises, Zhao Kuangyin finally received help from Xuzhou's large and small aristocratic families.
And precisely because of this, after losing a county's territory, Zhao Kuangyin completely established his position and successfully blocked Chi You's progress.
Now, although the dispute between Chi You and Zhao Kuangyin is almost over for the time being. However, the battle between these two people is not completely over yet. In this case, Chi You naturally would not help a stranger Guo Wei.
Guo Wei asked Chai Rong to ask for reinforcements, and he didn't expect Chai Rong to bring back the reinforcements. He just didn't want Chai Rong, who was still in his prime, to die here with him!
Guo Wei knew that Chai Rong was not inferior to him in all aspects of ability, and he was also an ambitious king. However, he himself is already nearly fifty, which was quite old in ancient times, and he is almost considered an old man. Even in special eras such as the Warring States Period, it was considered a long life. However, Chai Rong is only less than thirty years old, which is a good age for him to be in his prime.
Guo Wei believes that as long as Chai Rong is given enough time, he will be able to create his own world in the future!
Moreover, under Guo Wei's order, not only Chai Rong went to "ask for help", but Qu A, Guo Wei, and Ni Liang also came to help.
Guo Wei and Ni Liang, one is a counselor and the other is a commander-in-chief, and they are both first-rate under Guo Wei. Coupled with the fierce general Qu'a, the meaning behind it is much more in-depth.
The reason why Qu'a was chosen instead of Guo Duanfu, the newly promoted top general in the army, was to temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. Moreover, Guo Wei believes that with Guo Duanfu's strength and the backup skills he left behind, it will not be difficult to leave later!
Chai Rong's wisdom was not inferior to Guo Wei's. The moment Guo Wei issued the order, he had already sensitively sensed something was wrong. After knowing that Qu'a, Guo Wei, and Ni Liang were setting out with him, Chai Rong had already guessed Guo Wei's purpose.
However, Chai Rong didn't say anything more and just started asking for reinforcements.
Chai Rong is also a hero in troubled times. People like him are not without emotions in their hearts. It's just that most of the time, when they make a choice, what they give up is their own feelings. And this time, that's the case.
