Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 714 The Stubbornness of History

After Liu Xie and Zang Ba Xinghua Shuying had a heart-to-heart exchange, the world in Xingping four years became violently turbulent.The murderous intent pervading the entire Cang Yu made everything feel a sense of murder.The wheels of history are rolling and relentless, and finally they are heading to the main road of this troubled world: war!

The war naturally started from Qingzhou. After Yuan Tan invaded Xuzhou boldly and was severely beaten by Cao Hong, Cao Jun quickly invaded Qingzhou and occupied Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places.However, the situation in Qingzhou and Xuzhou has already restrained Yuan Shao's power in Qingzhou, making Cao Jun's right wing extremely stable.

In April, Yuan Shao dispatched reinforcements, with Zang Hong as his general, crossed the Yellow River into Qingzhou to join Cao Hong, and confronted Cao Hong in Le'an and Zhangqiu.The two armies tried to fight each other several times, winning and losing each other.

In May, Yuan Shao swore an oath as a teacher in Yecheng, and ordered his lord Bo Chenlin to write an appeal against Cao.Chen Lin hit it off on the spot, with sharp words, and counted Cao Cao's top ten crimes.After that, Yuan Shao selected [-] infantry and [-] horses, and went south as the commander in person to threaten Chen Liu.Along the way, the flags covered the sun, and the whips were thrown to cut off the flow, so that the counties and counties passing through the city surrendered one after another. Yuan Jun marched forward with great momentum like a rainbow.

Cao Cao heard this letter in Chenliu City, and it is said that he was having a headache for Qingzhou.After viewing Chen Lin's call to action, she was anxious, angry and angry, and her headache disappeared without medicine.He hurriedly summoned the civil and military under the command to discuss the matter of resisting Yuan.

In the meeting hall, there were endless calls for peace, but Cao Cao took them all indifferently.Only Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who came back from Xuzhou, entered the hall drunk and overthrew the soldiers in the hall, shocking the audience.Then Guo Jia took advantage of the wine to compete with Yuan. Cao Cao had ten victories, while Yuan Shao had ten defeats.The generals of the Cao family were very angry when they heard the words, and Cao Cao was also moved by it. He strengthened his confidence in going to war with Yuan Shao and began to arrange strategies to meet Yuan Shao.

It is worth mentioning here that in Guo Jia's "Ten Victories and Ten Defeats Theory" in history, the first one is Shaofan etiquette, Cao Cao's style is natural, and this way wins.But in this time and space, Guo Jia said bluntly: "Shao usurped rebellion and refused to be a minister, and the public pursues Zhengshuo, this way wins."

In fact, if you carefully consider Guo Jia's "ten victories and ten defeats theory" in history, you can see that these reasons are actually nothing but flashy words. In that military meeting, Cao Cao overwhelmed his subordinates and achieved the goal of a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

And in this time and space, although Guo Jia's first article is still flashy, it is nothing compared to the one in history.After all, the strength of the Han Dynasty is obvious to all. Guo Jia gave these people the judgment that the Han Dynasty would not stand on the sidelines.

At the beginning of June, Cao Cao led [-] soldiers from Qingzhou to occupy Liyang, Jizhou. The main force built fortifications around Guandu to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking from the front.

On June 3000th, Yan Liang, Yuan Shao's vanguard, arrived in Liyang. It was time for Xia Houdun, who moved his troops to Liyang and presided over the front line, to listen to Cheng Yu's plan and wait for work at ease, defeating [-] Yan Liang's vanguards.

A few days later, Yuan Shao's main force arrived and fought Xiahoudun in a battle. Xiahoudun was outnumbered, and in order to preserve his strength, he gave up Liyang and retreated to Baima.Wen Chou led the Youzhou cavalry to attack Xiahou Dun's army. Xiahou Dun lost nearly half of his soldiers and was rescued by Yu Jin's troops before he successfully retreated to the white horse.

So far, Xingping's four-year war, which has been brewing for half a year amidst conspiracy and conspiracy, has finally begun.At this time, Wang Lang, Cao Cao's envoy, had also entered the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, asking for help from the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Xie, who heard the news, was arguing in front of the sand table simulation map with a group of confidants in the hall of Xuanshi.On the simulation map of the sand table at this time, the terracotta soldiers with flags stood tall and densely gathered on both sides of the Yellow River, so that even if they didn't know the dangerous people, they could still feel the mighty power and murderous intent of the black cloud on the sand table that destroyed the city.

"Your Majesty, although Cao Mengde raised troops to fight against Yuan in Chenliu, judging from his arrangement, it seems that he does not have much confidence in this battle..." Sima Yi pointed to Cao Cao as if he had nothing to do with himself. He said, "If Cao Cao really thought that Yuan Shao had those ten defeats, he wouldn't be so timid and act like he was being slaughtered by Yuan Shao."

What Sima Yi said is true. Compared with Yuan Shao's dense and majestic army line, Cao Cao's troops are all concentrated in the three important places of Baima, Yanjin, and Guandu.This kind of sheltered and stable arrangement stands in front of Yuan Shao's overwhelming army line... Comparing the two, Yuan Shao is like an arrogant rich man, while Cao Cao's shabby appearance can only be hard-pressed. An angry poor scholar.

But Xun You, who was standing beside him, seemed to be displeased with Sima Yi's teasing of merciless sympathy for the suffering of the common people, so he said with a solemn eyebrow, "You only see Cao Mengde's penny counting, but you don't see Yuan Benchu's mistake. Cao Mengde's move Seemingly shabby, but sticking to the point, he has the essence of the art of war, while Yuan Benchu ​​looks aggressive, but in reality he is chaotic and doesn't care about the details. Although the two styles are vastly different, in terms of superiority, Cao Mengde is already superior on."

"Gongda's words are reasonable." When Lu Su saw Xun You speak, he couldn't help the urge to point out the country. He pointed to Cao Cao's three deployments and said: "Cao Mengde has few troops, so naturally he has to do what he can. He concentrates elite troops It is the right way to hold on to the key points, focus on fortification, wait for work with ease, and strike later. It is absolutely necessary to fight for the army, to use tricks to win by surprise, but in terms of general layout, if you do not judge the situation and be mediocre, you will only be like a rootless tree. Lots of mistakes."

Xun You and Lu Su spoke one after another, and they both hit the point. Sima Yi naturally put out his carelessness immediately.On the other hand, Pang Tong pursed his lips and remained silent, but seeing Sima Yi's embarrassment, Sima Yi immediately spoke up and corrected his attitude: "You two have learned a lesson, and I also know that there are many places where the Yellow River can be crossed thousands of miles away. Going south, and further dispersing the already disadvantaged forces. It's just that the two sides are too diametrically opposed, so I can't help but mention it casually."

At this point in the discussion, it is said that everyone knows the strategy of Yuan and Cao, so it is time for Liu Xie to stir up the topic to make these confidantes speak freely.But when everyone raised their eyes to look at Liu Xie, they found that Liu Xie's eyes were fixed on the sand table, as if he could see flowers from the sand table.

Everyone was puzzled, but Liu Xie was astonished in his heart at this moment: Since his time travel, this time and space has been completely changed, but at this critical juncture, history still unswervingly gave Liu Xie a warning.

At this moment, Liu Xie quietly looked at the sand table, and suddenly realized: Isn't this the confrontation between Yuan and Cao before the Battle of Guandu?

In history, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought to the death, Yuan Shao also swaggered to lead his troops south, and Cao Cao was so pitiful, like an angry little daughter-in-law protecting his vitals, enduring Yuan Shao's punches and kicks. The beating was like a raging fire, and it became a mess.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space where the Han Dynasty has already risen, the two parties still formed such a situation almost unchanged, strangely and logically!
Of course, if it is different, there are many differences.For example, Guandu was two years earlier than in history, Yuan Shao did not win Bingzhou, Cao Cao did not capture Yuzhou, and he did not kidnap the emperor to Xu County.However, applying the historical scenario to it almost completely matches it.

First of all, Yuan Shao is still strong and Cao Cao is weak at this moment; second, the two armies are still stuck in Guandu; finally, even though he, the emperor, is not held hostage by Cao Cao, he is still on Cao Cao's side!
'Is it true that if the Han Dynasty did not take action this time, Cao Cao would still burn Yuan Shao's food and grass in Wuchao as in history, and then beat Yuan Shao to death? '

This idea suddenly appeared in Liu Xie's mind like a curse, and no matter how hard he tried to drive it away, he couldn't get rid of it.Somehow, he seemed to feel a sense of God's will, guiding him to what role to play in this battle.

But when Liu Xie was wandering, Leng Shouguang had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked in: "Your Majesty, General Pingdong leads Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao's envoy Wang Lang to see him."

"Let him wait honestly!" Liu Xie's mystery of heaven and man was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't help being annoyed, his domineering sideways leaking.
