N-A-A Chapter 400
Chapter 400
Guandu was originally an ordinary Yellow River crossing, because Cao Cao and Yuan Shao held a great battle here that shocked the entire Han Dynasty, making this place famous all over the world.
Coincidentally, more than ten years later, once again, two major princes were stationed here, and one of them was still Cao Cao.
The gushing Yellow River has scooped up many heroes and heroes, and once again witnessed the golden iron horse.
In Cao Cao's tent, a map hangs and several books are placed on the desk. Cao Cao seemed to be much older, his eyes were dazed, and he lacked the confidence of the past.
Sometimes he reads a book, sometimes he stands up and looks at the hanging map.
This is a map of the entire territory of the Great Han Dynasty, which Cao Pi found from the imperial palace, modified it according to the information of the map of the prefectures and counties, and then asked Danqing to draw it by hand.
Cao Cao pointed to Liangzhou, Guanzhong, Luoyang, Sizhi, Huainan and other places on the map, which he had fought with one knife and one shot, but now they were all occupied by Liu Jun and Sun Quan.
In terms of land area, what he occupied was no longer as big as Liu Jun, and his heart was full of melancholy.
Cao Pi stood aside, carefully serving the people. Cao Cao did not speak, and he did not dare to say another word.
Cao Cao finally made up his mind to pass the throne of King Wei to Cao Pi, thus making Cao Pi his son. Although his love for Cao Zhi was far greater than that of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi's book was too angry, and in the chaotic times, he was not suitable to be a hero at all. Don't say that facing Liu Quan, even facing Sun Quan, there is no ambition to defeat the opponent.
Therefore, Cao Pi was transferred from the Wei palace to the Guandu battlefield, and Cao Cao's side was to gradually replace Cao Cao in commanding soldiers and horses and conquering the battlefield. In the current form of the Great Wei, it has not yet reached the level of sitting in the royal palace and letting the generals lead troops to pacify the four sides, and you must personally experience it.
At this time, a soldier came in and whispered a few words in Cao Pi's ear.
"Father, Master Jia Xuan has something important to ask for!" Cao Pi said to Cao Cao respectfully.
"Wen He is here, let him in!"
"No!"
Cao Pi waved his hand, and the soldier immediately went out, and soon, Jia Xu entered the marshal's tent.
"See the Lord!"
"Wen He is exempt!"
"Lord Xie!"
"Wen He, what's the matter?"
"Huan Jie sent an envoy to Eastern Wu to return, and Wuhou Sun Quan promised to send troops to attack Jingzhou, but..." Jia Xu hesitated.
"But Sun Quan still doesn't move, right?" Cao Cao smiled and asked.
"The Lord is wise, but Sun Quan's is not moving!"
"Sun Quan is indecisive and is notoriously a man at both ends of the spectrum, which is not surprising. And even if he sends troops to Jingzhou, it will have no effect on our current Guandu War, it is nothing more than creating some trouble for Liu Jun, let him go!"
"Master, the Great War of Chengdu is over!" Jia Xu said again.
"It's over, so soon?" Cao Cao was obviously taken aback.
The strength of the two sides was comparable, and both had plenty of food and grass, and Cao Cao originally thought that this battle would be fought for at least three or five months, or even half a year, but he did not expect that it would end in just one month.
"Liu Bei's entire army was destroyed, and only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and more than 200 people fled the battlefield, and Liu Bei won a complete victory."
"Do you have a detailed war report?" Cao Cao is also experienced in hundreds of battles, such a big battle, so quickly divided the victory and defeat, and it is a big victory, which makes it difficult for Cao Cao to imagine.
Jia Xu handed Cao Cao several pieces of information sent by the ghost pawns and scouts.
Cao Cao unfolded it and looked at them carefully one by one.
"Liu Jun's use of troops, divine, Zhuge Liang's plan is already very brilliant, Ma Chao is fraudulent, if it is not for Liu Jun, I am afraid that no one else can see through it!" Cao Cao was extremely shocked after reading it.
This battle is somewhat similar to the Chibi War, if it is a regular soldier, Liu Wei only needs to hold out, and after three or five months, he will inevitably defeat Liu Bei. But at this time, Ma Chao came to deceive, so that Liu Wei saw the opportunity. However, unlike the outcome of the Chibi War, Liu Wei completely recognized Ma Chao's deceptive scheme, and then calculated it, and each plan was interlinked, and finally Liu Bei suffered a crushing defeat.
The whole war is a classic.
"Is there news from Ma Chao?" Cao Cao asked.
Although he later felt that the dream of "three horses in the same groove" would not be Ma Chao, Ma Teng and others, there was still a stalk in his heart.
"Back to Lord Chen, after the Battle of Chengdu, Ma Chao seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was no news, Ma Dai, Pang De and others returned to Liu Jun, and Liu Jun married Ma Chao's sister Ma Yunlu."
"Let the ghost pawn pay close attention to Ma Chao's whereabouts!"
"No!"
"The battle of Chengdu is over, it won't be long before Liu Wei will lead his army to Guandu, and it seems that the decisive battle between us and Pang Tong Wei Yan should also begin."
"Everything is ready, the only thing in my subordinates who has no bottom in their hearts now is our cavalry, how different is its combat strength from Zhao Yun's cavalry?"
"Zhao Yun once commanded Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, fought with Xianbei Iron Horse, Wen Yuan once commanded Ding Yuan's Hezhou Wolf Horse, and also fought with Hu Chu Shan Yu's Xiongnu Iron Horse, and the abilities of the two should be evenly matched. However, if it comes to personal martial bravery, Zhao Yun should be above Wen Yuan, after all, Wen Yuan has just recovered from serious injuries.
"According to Zhang Hu and Cao Chun, when they were in Nanyang, the Jingzhou Iron Horse had strong riding and shooting ability, and at that time, their cavalry had not been formed for a long time, what is their combat strength now?" Subordinates are still hard to imagine.
"No matter what the outcome is, King Ben has said before that we must fight this battle, not to win or lose, but to have a momentum!" Cao Cao's eyes seemed to suddenly regain their former self-confidence, "Ziheng, you have to remember that those who command the army must have a strong self-confidence, and on the battlefield, they can be defeated by a powerful enemy, but they must not be intimidated. In the Battle of Guandu that year, Yuan Shao had an army of 700,000, but our army was only 70,000, but he confronted him for half a year, and finally attacked Wuchao and won a big victory. If you don't have self-confidence, how dare you fight that battle in the first place?
"Father's teachings, children's hearts!" Cao Pi saluted Cao Cao.
"Wen He, pass on the order of King Ben, and the generals of the unified army begin to act."
"No!"
At the Yanjin crossing, Yan Xing led a 10,000-strong Han army and confronted Zhang Hao and Cao Hong's 20,000 Wei troops here for more than a month, and the two sides did not go to war.
Due to this year's drought, the water of the Yellow River is getting smaller and smaller, and in many places there is no need for a ferry at all. Therefore, the tents of the two sides were not on the banks of the Yellow River, but retreated for a distance, and it was pointless to be able to cross the river and hold a ferry in many places.
Yan Xing was not afraid of Zhang Hao and Cao Hong's army smuggling across the Yellow River, and if so, he would simply cut off his grain route, and then they would become the prey of the Han cavalry.
"Report General, the Wei army has crossed the river and seems to be going to fight a decisive battle with us!" When Yan Xing got up in the morning, he was about to go on patrol when a soldier came to report it.
"Sure enough, it's here, light up the soldiers and horses, and prepare to meet the enemy!" Yan Xing's heart was excited.
"No!"
