Chapter 203

In history, Cheng Yu guarded Juancheng during Guandu, and there were only 700 people. Cao Cao wanted to increase his troops, but he said that Yuan Shao saw that there were few soldiers here and would definitely be disdainful to attack, so he refused. As a result, Yuan Shao really walked around.pfpf.

There were a total of 100,000 people, flags covering the sky and the bright red characters of Yan were spreading high in the wind. Two hundred men in red were guarding Yan Liang tightly. Behind them were horses and strife, lined up in a long snake with no sign of sight.

As the two most prestigious generals in the Yuan army, Yan Liang volunteered to take on the vanguard this time. Yuan Shao ordered him to capture the white horse, and he personally led the army to attack Yanjin.

White horses are just a small town. If you walk the Chaoge road like last time... Yan Liang thought about the situation where nearly 100,000 people were almost out of ammunition and food, but wherever he went, there was a solid wall and clear field, and there was not even a mouse. Almost 100,000 people died of thirst and starved to death on the road. This was a shame that Yan Liang could not wash away in his life.

I think so, if I do it again... Yan Liang still thinks it is better not to take a good path. The so-called shortcuts are usually not easy to take.

"General Yan, the white horse has been discovered, the number of defenders has increased to 10,000, and a large number of trapped horse pits and trenches have been dug around, and the news in the city cannot be conveyed." A spy came back from the front to report.

"Can we find out who the guard is?"

"Go back to General, it's Zhang Feng!"

"Zhang Feng?" In an instant, Yan Liang had hundreds of thoughts one after another, blushing a little, fearing a little, and hope more.

This is a good opportunity to take revenge! Last time I was fooled by Zhang Feng, this time there were only 10,000 people in a small white horse, and he filled it up with 100,000 people.

Didn’t the military book say that? Ten times surrounded it, five times, and what is that? Fighting it? No matter what, the last time Lao Tian said this, he and Wen Chou went to drink wine. They didn’t sound very nice. Anyway, it means fighting.

Yan Liang's face was suddenly full of redness. The scene of defeating Zhang Feng in his mind seemed to have become real, making his blood boil like high blood pressure. What a great opportunity!

"Has the white horse ever explored the Qing Dynasty? Are there any ambushes?" Yan Liang was worried and asked again. There were only 10,000 white horses. If there were no reinforcements to rescue them, they would fall sooner or later.

"Don't worry, General, my brothers have been sent to patrol at any time for fifty miles around. If there is any movement, I will report it sooner or later."

"Okay! Send the order and follow me to capture the small white horse!"

The soldiers shouted together, shouting as Yan Liang clamped the horse's belly. A bright red ribbon rolled up the smoke and dust that made people's vision blurry, and flew straight towards the white horse.

Guandu is in Cao Cao's camp.

A solid wooden fence wall, each fence is a complete log, which is very strongly nailed together, and for the sake of safety, it is still a two-story fence. Each of the four battalions has two observation buildings, and there are thirty-two soldiers with the best vision on it to guard it. In addition, there is also the most advanced and most developed reconnaissance tool in the world - Haidongqing of Tianchou!

The larger Cao Cao's territory, the fewer the available mobile troops. Qing, Gun borders Jizhou, Xuzhou borders Yangzhou, and Yuzhou is even next to Liu Biao. Sometimes Cao Cao also has a headache about why he is not in the terrain of Jiangdong or Shuzhong, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This time, facing Yuan Shao's overlord and face-related war, he only dispatched more than 100,000 regular troops, and not everyone had excellent armor. He was so forced to breathe by the opponent's sea of ​​people that he had to give up some territory and defend the city. Anyway, Yuan Shao had so many soldiers, his military ration expenses were much greater than his own.

From this perspective, as long as it takes five or six months, Yuan Shao will definitely withdraw his troops due to insufficient military rations, but the problem is how to survive these few months. Not all the people on Yuan Shao are just eating nothing, they must know their own shortcomings and will definitely find opportunities to fight quickly.

If it were Cao Cao himself, he would probably choose to drag the enemy head-on and then launch cavalry to attack Xuchang, but Yuan Shao's temperament... he would definitely not listen to the right opinions.

"How is the war?" Cao Cao put a large stack of documents sent from various battlefields in front of several cases, some good and some bad. He couldn't tell what he was in, but his face was normal.

"Return to the lord, Yan Liang's 100,000 army has surrounded Baima and launched several small-scale attacks, all of which have been repelled. Yuan Shao's 300,000 army has approached Yanjin, General Yu has taken defensive measures and collected all the ferries on the north bank. It is estimated that Yuan's army will cross the river at least ten days away." Jia Xu thought to himself.

"In addition, General Taishi also sent a war report, and the big cities along the border along the Hebei-Qing River and Qinghai are also on high alert, and the small village counties have already left the city empty, and the food has been emptied. Therefore, General Taishi's sneak attack has not made any progress."

Hearing the news that the Locust Army was not good, Cao Cao raised his head and laughed, and said to Guo Jia, who was sitting on a stool beside him, who was like a kindergarten class: "It turns out that Fengxiao didn't expect, Yuan Shao's child was already prepared this time."

Guo Jia also smiled "humble": "If you can still succeed, Yuan Shao's son will be too incompetent. Besides, this strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the world is to learn from his subordinates' last battle of Chaoge. Haha!"

Cao Cao slapped his head: "Last time Zhiji said what you were about? Oh, keep a low profile! Be sure to keep a low profile!"

He also said to Jia Xu: "If you have Lao Wen and Zhuan Ziyi, come to Yanjin battlefield quickly! Remember not to expose your whereabouts!"

Jia Xu took the order and left. Cao Cao softened and slipped in the hiding chair: "Oh, the situation of the battle is not beyond your expectations from Zhiji! After the siege of the white horse is lifted, I wonder if Yuan Shao's son will force his crossing the Yellow River? Then he will...haha!"

Guo Jia leaned close to Lao Cao's black face with a smirk: "Lord, be low-key! Low-key. Why do you say that Yuan Shao still has 400,000 people!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao looked at the roof of the tent with his eyes, "I hope I can finish this battle before Wei'er's child is born! Alas, what gift should I give? I wonder if this child looks like more Zhiji or more Wei'er?"

Guo Jia put his hands together in his sleeves like a resentful woman and complained: "My lord is partial! My subordinate's son was born, and he gave me a broken book! Someone was thinking about that boy Zhiji before he was born! According to his subordinate's opinion, it is better to be like your daughter, so as to avoid robbing the jobs of people like him everywhere in the future, just like Zhang Feng."

"What kind of thing is not? Scholars speak so badly!" Cao Cao laughed and cursed, and threw his sleeves on Guo Jia's head, pretending to behave, "Broken Book? That's the lonely version of the book "Yellow Stone Soldiers" collected by the emperor! You don't think your Yi'er has given me more good ideas like you! You are ignorant of the guy!"
