Chapter two hundred and ninety-fifth: Jiangdong rain, Guandu confrontation
Heroes in troubled times are ready, and the stars are shining. However, some are like stars, founding the country and establishing industries forever, while others are as short as meteors. Although the light is shining, it is indeed fleeting, which makes people feel regretful.
Just two weeks after the war between the north and the south officially broke out, the place in Jiangdong was far away, and the mansion of Wu Hou was already as sad as a river.
I saw that in an inner hall, Sun Ce, the ruler of Jiangdong, was pale in his face and gauze lying on the bed with gauze on his left eye. His younger brother Sun Quan was kneeling aside in pain.
"The sky is not with me Sun Ce, not with me Sun Ce!" After Sun Ce cried, he immediately touched the wound, and the blood immediately wet the gauze.
As Guo Jia and Li Ru said, Sun Ce was too confident about his martial arts. He went out without a guard. In the end, he was injured by the assassin by the disciple Xu Gong who died and the aristocrats who hated Sun Ce in Jiangdong. The feather arrow hit the left eye.
"Big Brother" Sun Quan cried even more violently when he heard this.
"If you can't seize such a worldly opportunity, you may not have the day to go north to the Central Plains in the future," Sun Ce clenched his fists.
"Lord!" A famous general kowtowed in grief and said, "Sun Ce is wise and magical, and he is only twenty-six years old!"
"Brother Quan, brother Quan" Sun Ce suddenly felt his vision dark and shouted anxiously.
"Brother, I'm here, I'm here," Sun Quan said hurriedly.
Sun Ce grabbed Sun Quan's hand and gasped: "Lead the troops in Jiangdong to fight between the two battles, and fight against the world. You are far inferior to your brother; but you are the best to be your brother; but you can choose your talents and make them do their best to keep them calm and calm, so that they can protect Jiangdong. You are indeed not as good as you. Now that your brother's destiny has ended, Jiangdong can only be handed over to you. Wen Bu Decision to Zhang Gong, Wu Bu Decision to Gongjin."
"Big Brother" Sun Quan cried bitterly.
"I'm not willing, I'm really unwilling to accept it!" After giving the order, Sun Ce suddenly shouted a few times, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out, and then his right hand fell heavily.
"Big brother, big brother" Sun Quan shouted anxiously.
"Lord" civil officials and military generals cried loudly.
"Bohu" at this time, a voice that was extremely sad sounded. A man with a face that looked like a jade-like face, a superb temperament, a dress of armor, majestic and heroic, walked in. When he saw that the eyes had closed, tears could not be controlled and he could not control himself.
"God won't help me Jiangdong!"
The man was extremely sad and shouted heart-wrenchingly, and the man fell down directly while covering his chest.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster" said anxiously.
Since then, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, died at the age of twenty-six. He had to die, which also means that no one in the world dared to participate in the Battle of Guandu. It seems that God is clearing obstacles for the two heroes of the north and south.
...........
Although Sun Ce is dead, the world will never stop.
Xudu is the location of Cao Cao's headquarters. The emperor and the court are here. The importance of this is self-evident and there is no need to be misunderstood. Above Xudu, Cao Cao set up three barriers, Baima, Yangwu, and Guandu. The two places in front are only for supervision and slowness, and Guandu is the most important level and the place for the decisive battle.
Because Guandu is not only closest to Xudu, but also convenient for food and grass transportation, the more important thing is its terrain. Cao Cao knew that there was too much difference between the strength of the army and Yuan Shao, and he would definitely lose when fighting head-on. However, in addition to the strength of the war, it also paid attention to the combination of time, place and people. Guandu is located at Langtang Canal, the intersection of the three rivers of Guandu and Ji River. There are Dahe and Bian River to the north, Putian Ze in the west, Gudian Water in the east, and Li Fu Ze in the southeast. The entire terrain is sandy and muddy, which is completely inconvenient for the mobility of cavalry and large corpses. Here, Cao Cao can occupy the greatest advantage in geographical advantages.
At this time, one day two months after Yan Liang was beheaded, Wen Chou was injured, and Sun Ce's death, there was a shout of killing on Guandu again. On a huge and vast plain, on the middle of two vast barracks with sand and soil less than a thousand meters apart, thousands of soldiers were fighting fiercely. They were wearing different military armors and helmets, representing the Yuan army and Cao army. The number of Yuan army was obviously larger than that of Cao army, and they rushed out of the army.
A brave general was scattered on the battlefield and killed a lot. Guan Yu held a big sword in his hand and waved it quickly, like a green dragon, majestic and unstoppable. The other Cao generals were also very fierce. However, Yuan's military strength was too huge. After about half an hour of the battle, he gradually gained the upper hand. At this time, the sound of golden drums sounded, and Cao's army immediately retreated into the camp like a tide.
As soon as Yuan's army pursued, thousands of arrows were immediately fired on Cao's army's earthen wall. After several attacks failed, Yuan's army had to retreat temporarily.
Not long after, Yuan Shao angrily hit the desk in the tent of Yuan Jun’s military camp and said angrily: “Cao Aman is really a timid person. He has retracted again and probably won’t come out in a short time. What’s the trick?”
Hearing this, Xun Kan, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others frowned. Cao Cao attacked with a defending position, but they did not respond to the battle. They built towers, piled up soil like mountains, and shot Cao's camp with arrows. However, Cao's army actually made a wooden cart with stone throwing equipment, and fired stones to destroy all towers. They dug tunnels to attack, but they also dug long trenches in the camp to resist. This time, they sent soldiers to scold Cao Cao's ancestors for three generations, but they only forced less than 10,000 people. Although they were victorious, they could not affect the overall situation at all.
"Lord, if Cao Cao wants to drag it, then drag it, it depends on whether it has a lot of food and grass, or is it a lot of food and grass in the north," Xun Kan said coldly.
Feng Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xun, I have food and grass in the north, but the number of troops is also large. To be honest, the food and grass have dropped sharply in the past month. It seems that it is very difficult to defeat Cao Cao in two months. If the confrontation continues, I will send a message to Yecheng immediately and send food here immediately."
"Our army is indeed in difficulties, but Cao's army is even more difficult than us. With the little food and grass in Yanzhou, Cao Cao would never be able to support our army," Xun Kan said affirmatively.
"The key is that we don't know the food and grass of Cao's army. All the secret spies sent by the past have been eliminated. If Cao Cao has enough food and grass, our army will fall into crisis if it is short of food. It is recommended that we attack the camp fiercely," Guo Tu said softly.
"The camp is difficult. Cao's camp is not only solid, but also has a general and cavalry attack at any time. Especially the tiger and leopard cavalry are extremely elite. When our army is about to attack, it will often hit our army's weaknesses and lead to failure." Xu You shook his head and said.
"Is there nothing I can do about it? A certain army of hundreds of thousands was blocked by Cao Cao?" Yuan Shao said very dissatisfied.
"Lord, at present, we can only wait for the times to change. At least one thing is certain. Although our army cannot attack, it still has a huge advantage in military strength," Xun Kan comforted.
Yuan Shao sighed and said, "Youruo, you send an order to return to Yecheng and ask Yuan Hao and the others to prepare some food and grass."
"promise!"
Yuan Shao was helpless, and Cao Cao had a great headache here. In the tent, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a calm expression and smiled bitterly: "Fengxiao, the food and grass in the army have only been enough for fifteen days. This was done by Wen Ruo for all his efforts. If we continue to confront each other like this, our army will collapse without fighting."
"What's more, you told someone about Yuan Xi's incident. You said that even if Cao won, what will happen later?"
"Sikong, our army must not move at this time. Once we give up Guandu, the Yuan army will inevitably come up. His military strength advantage will completely explode. The consequences will be unimaginable. Wenruo is thinking of a way. Jia believes that the lord will win the emperor and fight the heavenly time; guard Guandu, have a good location; attach importance to military discipline and be harmonious; these three aspects are complete, and there will definitely be a turning point. The lord must be determined to defend himself, so that the soldiers of the three armies will be infected." Guo Jia advised patiently, knowing that Cao Cao wanted to retreat.
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, he nodded gently, and said, "With filial piety and peace of mind, Cao will not give up easily."
"Lord, also Jia suggests having a meat meal this afternoon," Guo Jia smiled.
Cao Cao was stunned and then praised: "It's a filial piety, and there's no difference anyway. Maybe this will have a miraculous effect. I'll send an order immediately. Eat meat today and let the meat smell float for ten miles."
