Chapter 203

The escape of Liu Bei and others finally alleviated the embarrassment of Cao's army, and Cao Cao breathed a little more relief! But he could not relax. Because the dangerous situation of Cao's army has not been truly lifted yet! It not only needs to suppress the scattered soldiers and savages within Yanzhou, but also needs to appease the hearts of the people within Yanzhou, and the situation in Xuzhou must be pacified as soon as possible! Of course, these are not the most important! These things can be slowly taken into consideration, as long as his troops are still in their own hands! For Cao Cao, a real crisis

Liu Bin from the north, from Youzhou! Because when Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei rebelled, he issued a judgment order to Youzhou in the name of the court. Even when he attacked Xuzhou, the people from Xuzhou asked Liu Bin's Youzhou army for help! With Liu Bin's eyes, it was impossible for him to see this great opportunity. He would definitely take this opportunity to go south! If he did not stop the troops in Youzhou as soon as possible, even if he quelled Xuzhou and put down the rebellion of Liu Bei and others, he would not be able to resist the attack of Youzhou army!

The wind is bright and the sun is shining. This is really a rare and good weather. However, such good weather cannot make the roaring Yellow River water have a moment of peace. Especially the cliffs and cliffs on both sides of the Yellow River make it difficult for the Yellow River to cross. However, there are exceptions to everything. Guandu is one of the best places. The water of the Yellow River in the upper reaches is much smoother when passing through the narrow river channel. This is also the only good place within a thousand miles of the Yellow River that can transport people across the shore on a large scale. There is absolutely no such gentle terrain to use in other places.

Now, the troops gathered by Zhao Yun are here. A large army of 100,000 have been built for more than 90 miles of joint camps, densely occupied north of the river bank. Logically speaking, a large army of 100,000 troops will not be able to set up such a large camp. Only a camp of more than 10 miles can be enough to accommodate so many soldiers. For example, a large camp of more than 90 miles is close to the scale of 600,000 troops. However, in order to put strong psychological pressure on Cao Cao's troops guarding the Guandu Pass south of the Yellow River, Zhao Yun still set up such a large camp under the order of the General Staff. Anyway, with the Yellow River blocked, Cao Cao's army would definitely not see how many soldiers there were in the camp tent. Moreover, because the Yellow River blocked, it would be impossible for Cao Cao's army to send people to swim across the Yellow River to inquire about the news or count the number of troops gathered by Zhao Yun.

In addition, Zhao Yun also sent people to hold military flags to shake in the camp every day, and often sent people to train military horses outside the camp. All of this caused the situation of Youzhou's army and horse soldiers being in the forefront. In such a stalemate, it did put a lot of pressure on Cao Cao's army south of the Yellow River. However, the pressure caused by these tricks was definitely not as high as the arrival of Zhou Haijun. After years of supervising warships, the Youzhou Navy now has hundreds of large warships. Each of these large warships can carry people before and carry the water and rice that the rest of the people drifted on the sea for a month. In addition, they can also carry more than 10,000 kilograms of cargo. Although these large warships are like

The tens of millions of tons and millions of tons of sea ships in modern times are not worth mentioning. They are just a small boat of more than tens of tons. However, this kind of small boat in the eyes of modern people is definitely many times larger than the tillage fighting ships in Gan Ning. Today's tillage fighting ships can only hover around these large warships to support them. In particular, these large warships are all built-in steel bones and external armor. The collision and attack of the tillage fighting ships is useless to these large warships. If these two ships fight, those newly built large warships don't even need to dodge, and they can directly drive over and crush the tillage fighting ships.

Originally, one or two of these large warships could make the people at this time stunned. What's more, the Youzhou Navy, which has been idle for a long time, wants to stand the navy's majesty in front of the army. Even though the General Staff only asked Ding Feng to bring 30,000 naval troops to Guandu to assist Zhao Yun in seizing Guandu and transport Zhao Yun's troops across the Yellow River. However, Ding Feng still brought 81 large warships and 200 marble-fighting ships to escort. These ships entered the Yellow River from the Bohai Sea and went upstream. They arrived on the surface of Guandu River.

It was really dark. At that time, Cao Cao's army south of the river bank was suppressed. Although Zhao Yun used 100,000 troops to forge the situation of 600,000 or 700,000 troops to be pressed, it was really thrilling, but after all, the Yellow River is blocking, no matter how many troops you can't get through, it would be useless. Even if those troops can find some ships to cross the river, whether Cao's army attacked on the river bank or waited for the Youzhou army to attack it halfway, it was very relaxed.

But now that the Youzhou army has added a lot of big ships, the defensive advantage on the river bank will no longer exist. Moreover, the opponent has transported more troops and horses at one time. As long as the Youzhou army can seize the beachhead position south of the river bank, the huge advantage of the Youzhou army will definitely no longer be able to resist the little troops stationed south of the Cao Cao river bank. Fortunately, after the navy's troops arrived, the war in the intention of Cao's army still did not come. It was just the entire Guandu neighborhood.

The surface of the Yellow River was occupied by the Youzhou Navy. Moreover, within two miles of the Guandu River bank, the Cao army could not stand the foot. It was just because there was a rotating stone generator on each of these warships. These two hundred stone generators were launched, and within two miles of the river bank, they were all under the attack of these stone generators. Especially these stone generators were still on the warships. Cao Cao's troops stationed in Guandu could not attack or sneak attack these stone generators. He could only helplessly empty the two miles of the range.

At this time, Yan Liang, who was stationed in Guandu, was sulking in the military camp. He was so depressed. It was enough that Liu Bin in Youzhou had cavalry. Why did he even have a navy army? And it was still of such a large scale. This was too unfair. What did he confront Liu Bin's army on the other side? At this moment, a small school came in and reported, "Report to the general. A person outside the village called himself a general's old friend Xun Chen came to visit. I wonder if the general would see him?"

Yan Liang was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly asked the school to come in quickly. He also sorted out his clothes and gave him a bill to greet him. Xun Chen was an important counselor who assisted Yuan Shao at the time. He was resourceful and very upright, and had a good personal relationship with Yan Liang. However, when Yuan Shao was defeated, Xun Chen didn't know where he was wandering. Now that Xun Chen is here, he can help out ideas at this critical moment. That is a great thing that Yan Liang is unhappy? But the final result disappointed Yan Liang!

Yan Liang invited Xun Chen into the account. After a few gossips, he asked Xun Chen about how to solve the current situation. Xun Chen sighed first and said, "Well! Yan Liang, now you and I have drunk and talked happily. But a few days later, we have to be separated by heaven and man, and humans and ghosts. When we think about it, we are very sad." Yan Liang asked differently: "What does this mean by sir? Does anyone dare to threaten Mr.'s life? But please tell a certain family and Mr. to relieve his worries."

Xun Chen sneered, "I have no worries. I have never offended any strong men. Who would have thought of harming me? Isn't you touching your head still on your neck?" Yan Liang was furious. Isn't this curse yourself to die? It's just Xun Chen. If Xun Chen had not been Yan Liang's friend for many years, he would have been trusted and valued by Yan Liang. Yan Liang would have long cut off the person he was talking to. Although he respected those literati very much, he was just respecting it!

Yan Liang suppressed his anger and asked, "Sir, you and I have a strong relationship, and a family treats you with sincerity. Why did you curse me? Could it be that some family has some rudeness just now?" Xun Chen said seriously, "No! As you said, you and I have a strong relationship, how could I curse you? But now you are surrendering to Cao Cao and guarding Guandu, it is like a knife hanging on your neck and a fish rolling on the board. That is really dangerous. I can't bear to lose my best friend's life. Therefore, I have to say that."

Yan Liang has been upset about the matter of Chen Jun Du in Youzhou in the past few days. Now, he heard Xun Chen's words pointing to him, and hurriedly asked, "How can you explain this?" Xun Chen said, "The army you led is only 50,000. However, to the north of the river bank, the Chen Jun of King Jin is less than 500,000. Ten times the troops are for you. Besides, you have seen the naval army of Your Highness King Jin. Now your river bank has lost its advantage. If Your Highness King Jin wants to attack Cao Cao, his 500,000 army will quickly land on the southern bank with the help of the navy. With such a strong army, you will definitely be out of the way. At that time, you were guarding Guandu, how could you survive? Although you are very skilled in martial arts and are very outstanding in leading the army to fight, can you compete with Your Highness King Jin? What was the situation in Jizhou that year? Have you forgotten?"

Yan Liang was thrilling. What Xun Chen said was just as Yan Liang thought in his heart. Yan Liang hurriedly said, "Sir, save me." Xun Chen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much! If you want to survive, it's simple. As long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light and defect to His Highness King Jin, will your danger be solved?" "This?" Yan Liang was suddenly buried by Xun Chen. Yan Liang was so awkward. Originally, Yan Liang wanted to have a helping and a good partner who could help him to help him and reduce his current pressure. Unexpectedly, a lobbyist came. However, Xun Chen was Yan Liang's friend. Yan Liang was not only embarrassed to turn against him, but also a little bit of active thoughts by Xun Chen. After all, this is Yan Liang's only way out!

However, Yan Liang was still a little psychologically burdened by this! To be honest, Yan Liang also yearned for the Youzhou Army and admired Liu Bin very much! As a general, no one never forgets a powerful army! Moreover, soldiers admired the strong! The Youzhou Army was the most powerful army in this era, and Liu Bin was also the most powerful strongman in this era! Yan Liang had the plan to defect to Youzhou before, but later he was recruited by Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao trusted him very much and regarded him as the number one general of the Jizhou Army! Yan Liang was grateful to Yuan Shao for his knowledge of his knowledge!

The kindness of the people naturally has to be heartbroken! Later, Yuan Shao died at the hands of Liu Bin, and the Jizhou army collapsed, and Yan Liang also had the intention to join the Youzhou army! However, Yuan Shao's steel wire, as Yuan Shao's number one general, was deeply trusted and respected by Yuan Shao. If he defected to Liu Bin, Yuan Shao's big enemy, wouldn't he seem to have no loyalty or righteousness? Didn't he have no courtesy, righteousness and shame? In this way, even if he defected to Liu Bin, he would probably not be valued! So Yan Liang did not seek Youzhou!

Now that Xun Wei's old story has been brought up, Yan Liang's thoughts are very conflicted! He really wants to join Liu Bin, but since he came to Cao Cao, he has been valued by Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao even appointed him to guard Guandu's important land, how trust would he trust him? This made Yan Liang feel that if he betrayed Cao Cao and turned to Liu Bin, it would be too sorry for Cao Cao's kindness and support for him. Moreover, Yan Liang also thought that his good brother Wen Chou and Xu You, who saved his life several times, were still with Cao Cao. If he defected to Liu Bin, they would inevitably be implicated by themselves. It would be too unrighteous to treat himself. Therefore, Yan Liang hesitated.

Xun Chen was also a wise lord who was smart in his words and expressions. When he saw Yan Liang's expression, he knew there was a door here. He hurriedly struck the iron and said while the fire was hot: "Why should Yan Liang hesitate? Since Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he has bullied the emperor and suppressed the ministers. His ambitions were fully exposed. Now Cao Cao has taken over the prime minister, named the Han prime minister, but is actually a traitor of the Han Dynasty. He also used the name of the emperor to conquer the princes. Now Liu Bei is under the emperor's edict to attack Cao Cao, and the emperor's princes responded.

, while Cao Cao was blocked by Xuzhou and his foundation was lost. If you follow Cao Cao, it would be just a self-destruction. And after you die, you can only be a slander as a traitor. It would be better to change the line and change the banner and surrender to His Highness King Jin, and you can also be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. And with high officials and generous salaries, you will have no worries about food and clothing. The most important thing is that under His Highness King Jin, your talents can be developed, and you can also be kept in history in the future, and you will be glorious in the family!"

Yan Liang was even hesitant when Xun Chen said it. But Yan Liang was also surprised that Cao Cao's current situation was not good, and he had just heard of it a little, and the matter had not been further confirmed. But how did Xun Chen confirm this? Xun Chen saw Yan Liang's suspicious gaze, of course he understood it in his heart. At this moment, Xun Chen said frankly: "Yan Liang, I am not to hide it. After my lord Yuan Shao's defeat, I originally retreated to the mountains and fields and planned to live my life. But my brother Xun Yu

Recommended, I am grateful to His Highness King Jin for his good deeds and good governance, and devoted himself to the sentiment of the people. I have come out again to assist His Highness King Jin. Now His Highness King Jin is willing to follow the emperor's belt to attack Cao Cao. I know that you guard this place, and I cannot bear to have a close friend hiding under the sword and war, so that my reputation for a lifetime has been lost. Therefore, I specially asked for the general order under His Highness King Jin to persuade you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Now His Highness King Jin is looking forward to you. You must not mislead yourself."

What Xun Chen said is not false at all. He came here to persuade Yan Liang to surrender according to the order of Youzhou. But it was not Liu Bin's order, but the order of the General Staff! Liu Bin is not in Youzhou at all! It's a pity that Xun Chen only knew that Liu Bei rebelled against Cao Cao and seized Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and Cao Cao seized Xuzhou and prepared to counterattack Yanzhou. He did not know that Cao Cao had driven Liu Bei away at this time. After all, since Liu Bei rebelled and besieged Xudu, the intelligence personnel stationed in Yanzhou in Youzhou were greatly affected, and many people were suffering from undeniable disasters. That time, the intelligence information about Liu Bei's rebellion was almost the last information from Yanzhou.

After Cao Cao's massacre, the intelligence agencies in Youzhou also suffered huge losses. After sending out the intelligence agencies in Xuzhou to Youzhou that Cao Cao had occupied Xuzhou, they could no longer have any abnormal movements under the strict surveillance of Cao Cao's army. Therefore, Youzhou can only rely on the speculation of Guo Jia and others to calculate the timing of the battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. When he thought the time was about the same, he launched an attack. The first thing was Xun Chen's rebellion against Yan Liang. The pressure exerted by Zhao Yun, Ding Feng and others a few days ago was also for Xun Chen's persuasion to obtain greater bargaining chips and a chance of success today.

But this doesn't matter. Although Xun Chen made a small mistake, he didn't know that Cao Cao had successfully counterattacked. Fortunately, Yan Liang was not very clear about the battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. There is no way! The road in this era is rugged and long, and the communication methods are extremely different. Walking is basically by walking, and communication is basically by yelling! Zhang He, who is located in Guandu, Henan, does not know the latest battle between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Yanzhou, is understandable. After all, there is still no such thing as rushing hundreds of miles in this era! Even if there is, there are not so many horses within Cao Cao!

After all, there is no guarantee of the army's war horses, let alone the tools for transportation! Not every prince is as generous as Liu Bin. Not only can he let go of many horses, but he also has a quick communication method like flying pigeons sending letters! If Cao Cao could greet Yan Liang after victory and report peace, I think there would be no such confusion from Yan Liang. Unfortunately, God does not follow others' wishes. Now it is the late Han Dynasty. Yan Liang can only be an innocent person who is unaware of it. Yan Liang's heart is shaking. If he surrenders or not, what should he do?

Yan Liang's loyalty to Cao Cao was definitely a fatal threat to Cao Cao at this time. Although Guandu was small, it was a military important place. If the remarks betray Cao Cao and surrendered to Liu Bin, it would be a heavy blow to Cao Cao! The consequences were much more serious than those betrayed by Liu Bei and Chen Gong and Zhang Miao! The consequences were so serious that Cao Cao could not afford them now!
