Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Chapter 120 IX Stalemate Stage

The two armies confronted each other, so Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other field generals didn't have anything to do. The few of them were also happy and leisurely. The battle ahead was in full swing, and they were exchanging martial arts in the camp.

However, Cao Jun once took advantage of the fact that Yuan Jun's camp was not yet completed, and took the initiative to attack, but he was not able to resist Yuan Jun's strength and did not win, so he had to retreat to the camp and hold on. Wen Chou, Qu Yi and others were sent to the front to supervise the battle, Guan Ping also went with Qu Yi, the scene was really spectacular.

Yuan Shao built more than a hundred earth hills in Linzhai. Thousands of soldiers poured all the arrows, large and small, down on the earth hills.

Immediately, Cao Jun's soldiers were beaten into disgrace, and they didn't dare to raise their heads at all. Even walking, they had to squat down and walk timidly under the cover. [

However, in a few days, Cao Cao saw that the soldiers had suffered heavy losses, so he adopted the strategy of Liu Ye, the counselor, to build thunderbolt chariots, and used huge stones to smash down one by one Yuan Shao's construction. Except for Guan Ping, who saw the Thunderbolt chariot carried out by Cao Jun, immediately withdrew down the mound unscathed, the other three, although all of them were smashed into disgrace, Qu Yi, who was the worst, because his location on the mound was near the front, immediately fell into danger. More than a dozen boulders fell from the sky, and he was hit in the face by a clod of soil thrown by one of the boulders, bleeding profusely, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

Seeing that Lou Lu's plan failed, the judge offered Yuan Shao a new plan, but it was very old-fashioned. Guan Ping was also very familiar with this move. He ordered the soldiers to use shovels to secretly dig tunnels, calling it Digger Army.Cao Cao's subordinates have countless able men, so how could such a simple plan work?

Immediately, Xun Yu offered "digging a deep trench around the camp will make Yuan Shaozhi's digging army helpless", tried it out, and it was as he said.

The war has entered a rather difficult stage of stalemate. At this time, which army has a stable supply of food and grass, that army basically has an [-]% chance of winning.

Yuan Shao has been operating in Hebei for a long time, but Jizhou has a rich household registration, a lot of money and food, and its own army escorts the food and grass to come continuously. Supply has been difficult.

Therefore, in the stalemate stage, except for the battle at Guandu, the main battlefield, the battles in other places were all because of food and grass. Cao Cao sent Xu Huang to burn the food and grass that Yuan sent Han Meng from Jizhou to the front line of Yuan Jun.

However, Yuan Shao's previous two tactics against Cao Cao did not have any effect. The two groups of troops he sent were defeated by Cao Ren, who was in charge of the west side of Cao Cao's leader, and one of them was Liu Bei.

In July, when Yuan Shao was still in Yangwu, he dispatched Liu Bei with thousands of troops to detour south to Runan, where he joined Liu Pi and Gong Du, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans there, but was violently attacked by Cao Ren, and the three were defeated. , the soldiers and horses were completely lost, Liu Pi died, and Gong Du had to fall into the grass again and hide in the mountains.

At the same time, Guan Yu was under Cao Cao, and because he defeated Yan Liang, he made a great contribution, so he took his family and two sisters-in-law, went out from Xuchang, passed five passes and beheaded six generals, and transferred to Runan. At the same time, Zhang Fei, who fell into grass after Xiapi was captured, and Zhao Yun, who was exiled in the Central Plains after Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, also found Liu Bei in Runan, and the scattered Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi brothers They all rushed to Runan.
