Chapter 249 Decisive battle?
Opposite Guandu is Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan Shao's army is full of enthusiasm. Why? Because in the past few days of attacking Guandu, Cao's army has gone from being defended with all its might at the beginning to being passively beaten in the past few days. Although Guandu has not been broken, as long as a discerning person can see at a glance that the morale of the Cao army in Guandu is no longer good! It is not a big loss to Cao's army, there is a total of 300,000 troops on the other side. How many times have Yuan Shao's army been repelled in the past few days! There are countless, and the losses under his command are also huge, with more than 300,000 soldiers and horses killed and injured. Although Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side also died of more than 50,000 troops! But at a glance, there is a difference between 250,000 and 300,000 enemies! They are all endless, so scary.
"Congratulations to the lord, lord, this Guandu is about to be destroyed. After the Guandu is broken, our army will enter the Central Plains and who will be the opponent of our Yuan army? The lord will definitely be Duke Zhou Tufu again, and the whole world will be returned!" Guo Tutu is worthy of being a wise strategist. His mouth directly made Yuan Shao laugh and full of energy.
No wonder Yuan Shao is very proud now. He has pacified the entire Hebei, with Jiyou and Bingqing in the hands of the four continents, Jizhou is also the granary of the world. Although Bingzhou Youzhou is often knocked down by foreign tribes, don’t forget that the more border areas, the more fierce the people here are, and the people are naturally more good at fighting. Lu Bu can pull a Bingzhou wolf cavalry from Bingzhou to Gongsun Zan can pull a white horse from Youzhou to Yi. Although Yuan Shao’s command may not be as good as Lu Bu, he still has absolute strength with the powerful soldiers of Bingzhou Youzhou.
Yan Liangwen Chou had 20,000 elite troops under his command, and Zhang He also had 10,000 elite troops. In addition, Yuan Shao had the first camp and the big halberd soldiers. Although Ju Yi was executed, these two powerful troops were still left behind! In addition to the other troops, who is the opponent of Yuan Benchu in the world!
If it weren't for the Yellow River's obstruction, Yuan Shao would have entered the Central Plains long ago! Yuan Shao had no shortage of food and grass, and had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand. Now the old friend Cao Abu, who was blocking him, would be defeated again. After he entered the Central Plains, the world would no longer be named Liu. Instead, the surname was Yuan!
I think he was just a descendant raised by a humble maid from the Yuan family. He should have no status in the Yuan family. However, Yuan Shao knew to show himself since he was a child and knew to seek profit and avoid harm. This made the offspring of a humble maid who was finally better than the eldest son of the Yuan family! Even the uncle Yuan Wei, the head of the Yuan family, wanted to pass the position of the head of the family to Yuan Shao. This is why Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao since he was young. Yuan Shao also stumbled when he was young, and was in brothels with Cao Heizi and Xu You!
He had been coveting Bian Xiaoxiao, a famous brothel at that time, but in the end he was intercepted by Cao Heizi. Cao Heizi directly called him and didn't beat him, and secretly redeemed Bian Xiaoxiao. He posted a wedding invitation and said that he was going to get married! The rice was made into a mature meal, which made Yuan Shao want to eat Cao Cao. However, Yuan Shao held back because of the relationship between the two families. But now, as long as the Guandu was broken, their old playmates would meet again. I wonder if Cao Aman missed him as a friend! Yuan Shao had missed Mrs. Bian for a long time!
Yuan Shao couldn't help licking his lips. He had already begun to imagine how Xu Du was going to be so romance afterwards! He would not kill Cao Aman, he would let Cao Mengde watch his wife being taken back to the General's Mansion. This feeling was absolutely comfortable!
"Yes, yes, this lord must be able to create a great cause. The Han lost his deer and the world pursued him. Now it seems that the lord wants to become the one who gets the deer!" Guo Tuhui flattered him, and Feng Ji, who was beside him, also came out to cheer. Although the Han Dynasty lost the possibility of winning over the world, the world no longer belonged to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he could not clearly say it! After all, the banner they used to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he could not bear to be treated cruelly under Cao Aman's rule. Only then did he clear the emperor's side.
"Yuantu is careful!" Although Yuan Shao's words were scolding, his tone and expression showed that his lord was very satisfied and loved to listen!
"Yes, yes, it's Ji Duoyan!" Feng Ji also raised his glass and toasted everyone. For a moment, there was a burst of laughter and joy in the camp as if they had already eaten Guandu Cao Cao opposite.
There was only one person drinking alone. This person was Ju Su, one of the two top strategists in Yuan Shao's army, named Guangping, and his brother of Ju Zong, and the father of Ju Hu. It is recorded that he "has little ambitions and is good at strategy." He was once a disciple of Jizhou and was promoted to Maocai twice. Later, he became a deputy to Han Fucai and was represented by Han Fu as the commander of the cavalry. After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he appointed Ju Su as his entourage. He often proposed good strategies to Yuan Shao, but many times Yuan Shao did not obey.
This time, the strategy Ju Shu gave Yuan Shao was a tactic of protracted war. He, like Tian Feng, persuaded Yuan Shao, that this time was not the best time to send troops to the Central Plains. You must know that before, Tian Feng had given Yuan Shao a plan to support Liu Bei to kill Cao Cao's general Che Wei and betray Cao Cao's occupying Xuzhou, at this time, Cao Cao would rush to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou for the sake of stability in his rear! Although Liu Bei did not have good counselors under his command, don't forget that these three pet friends of Taozi still had their own skills in fighting, and they could definitely delay Lao Cao for a while. At this time, as long as you send more cavalry and directly attack Cao Cao's old Cao Yanzhou! At that time, Cao Cao was attacked on both sides and would definitely be defeated.
But Yuan Shao refused to listen. He refused because his son Yuan Shang was ill. Tian Feng was also locked up by Yuan Shao because of his straightforward speech. When Ju Su saw his friend being locked up, he couldn't go to rescue him. He could only endure his anger and continue to follow Yuan Shao. The fighter plane was delayed when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou just now. So don't worry. Although Yuan Shao has four continents and has destroyed Gongsun Zan, don't forget that he needs to rest now. He has fought with Gongsun Zan for many years. His soldiers under his command are either very tired or arrogant and arrogant, and think that the heroes in the world are just like this. The military style in the army has become like this. How can he fight? The arrogant soldiers are undefeated? Doesn't Yuan Shao understand?
But because they are more like Guo Tufengji, they always think that the art of attacking the heart is better than the art of attacking the strategy! They have been following Yuan Shao's ideas. What Yuan Shao says is what he says! And it is also to expand the power of their subordinates, which has caused the Battle of Guandu to break out.
Yuan Shao gathered 300,000 troops to confront Cao Cao at Guandu. Ju Su boarded the boat to watch Guandu. Ju Su was very careful. He could directly guess from the mental outlook of the Cao army soldiers and their actions that Cao Cao had insufficient military rations!
Why?! Because during the Eastern Han Dynasty, most people only ate two meals a day. The first meal was called Chaoshi, also known as Yuki. The ancients marked the time according to the position of the sun in the head space. The sun went to the southeast corner and was called Yukizhong. Chaoshi was just before Yukizhong, and that moment was called Yukitime. Based on this, it was estimated that it was about nine o'clock in the morning, and this was the time to eat the first meal.
The second meal was just for a meal. At this time, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon. These were two meals a day. Unlike the three meals now, he could have a full stomach. In ancient times, the time difference between the two meals was very large, so he was very hungry when he was eating.
In war naturally, a lot of physical strength is consumed. At this time, general generals would give their subordinates a third meal, so that they could fully ensure their physical strength to fight. In Cao Cao's army, although Cao Cao had tried his best to cover it up, and even smoke from cooking was raised at noon, so that the army would change their defenses and eat three times, Ju Su could see from the soldiers that if a person was full of food, the expression on his face and mood were all happy, at least he would have great strength in doing things. The soldiers on the opposite side were completely the same as not eating, and even more negative, which meant that they did it! It means that their change of defense was not to eat, but to go through a completely formality.
It can be seen from all the scenes that Cao Cao was covering up what he was covering up! It should be that he had insufficient food and supplies.
The food and grass consumption of the 100,000 army is very large. Although it is time for a bumper harvest of summer grain, how much land has Cao Cao left in the past two years? He has fought a lot of wars and has been fighting with war. He has been enlisted in the army by signs. Wherever he fights, he will rob the land and fight Lu Bu! Lu Bu himself does not have much food and grass, and fight Liu Bei! Although Liu Bei has some food and grass, it is all given by Lao Cao himself. He also lost a lot of food and grass to beat Zhang Xiu. It can be said that Lao Cao has been eating his old capital these days, but he has land but can't produce much!
The army had not moved the food and grass before it was moved, and the importance of food and grass could be seen here! It was a fatal injury to discover such a shortcoming of Lao Cao. Ju Su was very happy. It seemed that the lord had made great achievements. Even God was helping him. This was the destruction of Cao Cao. This was also a battle to determine the world, so Ju Su immediately reported to Yuan Shao!
But what Ju Su didn't expect was that it was not that God would destroy Cao Cao, but that God would help Cao Cao. Yuan Shao didn't believe what Ju Su said at all. On the contrary, he laughed at the income, saying that his friend Cao Aman liked to play the most was the real and real. This was actually a fool to deceive Ju Su, in order to delay time, and it was indeed a bumper harvest of summer grain, so Yuan Shao became more and more unbelievable.
The aristocratic families around Ji Guotu, who represent the interests of a large number of aristocratic families in Hebei, are now eager to cross the Yellow River and occupy the Central Plains, so that they can maximize their benefits. With the numbness of the two sides, no one believes Ju Su's words.
Yuan Shao's direct order was to attack forcefully, not giving Lao Cao a chance to breathe, but on the contrary, he solved the problem of food and grass for Lao Cao. The 30,000 deaths of 30,000 people were killed, and he also consumed Yuan Shao's 50,000 soldiers and horses. Why not do it? If Yuan Shao did not move, then Lao Cao really didn't know how to find food and grass for these 30,000 soldiers. The most important thing in managing the army is that the above cannot be favored by one or the other. You can't let these 30,000 people hungry, and the other 70,000 people eat! Then there is only one ending, that is, everyone eat less together, the consequence of this is that the overall combat effectiveness of Cao's army has declined. Although 30,000 people have been killed, Lao Cao feels very distressed, but he cannot drag down the entire Cao army because of these small groups!
Although Ju Su shook his head a little and felt helpless about his lord not listening to his words, fortunately, although Yuan's army also suffered 50,000 casualties in the past few days, the Cao army in Guandu was already extremely devastated. The morale of the Cao army was declining day by day. As long as we continue, Yuan Shao's army has six 50,000 people. And how many 30,000 people are Lao Cao!
Although the losses are huge, after taking Guandu and destroying most of the Cao army, Yuan's army can still have hundreds of thousands of troops left. These troops are enough to accept Cao Cao's territory. Taking Cao Cao's victory is really half of the world, and we are waiting to rest and rehabilitate and unify the world!
So Ju Su didn't say much in the past few days. He also attended this celebration banquet. Although he was very straightforward, the difference between him and Tian Feng is that Ju Su can still accept some of the breath of Yuan Shaojun. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, so he also understands it.
But now Ju Su felt a burst of uneasiness. He drank the wine cup by cup, listening to the children of the counselors and clans flattering Yuan Shao, the whole situation was very good! He was too worried! Ju Su also hoped that this was the case, because the attack on Guandu this month has been going well, and Cao's army has been defending passively and being beaten in Guandu, but Ju Su was thinking about what was wrong!
Just as the others were very happy, Ju Su was thinking hard, suddenly ran in from outside the big tent and sent a messenger to "report. Report to the lord, the river surface, the river surface is full of enemies, enemies!"
"Enemma?" Yuan Shao put down his wine glass. Now he had just passed a night of carnival. The sky was about to gradually become clear. Although there was fog on the river, you should know that the Guandu area of the Yellow River is not as wide as the Yangtze River basin! So even if there was heavy fog, it could not stop the vision of both sides. Although Yuan Shao's army was in this carnival, many generals did not appear here. They were all in their respective positions. Although Yuan Shao's army was very arrogant, they still
There are many generals who are dedicated, such as Zhang He, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and others. There are so many other generals and schools. Otherwise, they would not be on the original historical trajectory. Although Lao Cao won a great victory in Guandu, Yuan Shao still left with a large army. If Yuan Shao had not died of shame and bloodshed in the end, even if Lao Cao won, he would have been injured by both. Fortunately, Yuan Shao had two sons who were prodigal and directly strife in order to seize power. The final outcome was naturally defeated by Lao Cao one by one.
Who are the people in the Yellow River Basin now? Only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are there, and others such as Xuzhou and Qingzhou Puyang are in the hands of these two people, so this enemy is Cao Cao.
"Cao Ah Man, Cao Ah Man! Since you want to die so much, I am really sorry if I am a friend of mine, I will not be able to go there for a long journey!" Yuan Shao smiled. Of course he smiled. Cao Cao had such a Guandu turtle shell, and Yuan Shao really had no choice but to take Cao Cao. Even if the turtle shell was knocked down, Yuan Shao would have to spend a lot of days. It would take more than a month to win 30,000 people. If it was really defeated, it would take less than half a year to kill him! Moreover, the casualties were definitely not small, Yuan Shao couldn't wait for that long. Now that Cao was ready, Lao Cao took the initiative to come out. How many troops could Lao Cao have? After suffocating, there were still 70,000 troops left! Seventy thousand had to defend the city, how many naval troops could he have, and how many naval troops could Yuan Shao have! A total of 100,000 naval troops, even if Lao Cao pulled out all 70,000 troops, Yuan Shao could destroy him.
"Select all the troops and follow me to the camp!" Yuan Shao put down his wine glass and stood up. Yuan Shao was very handsome, much better than the fat black man of Lao Cao. Cao Cao was already too handsome to see. Yuan Shao was a handsome guy. His father was a child of a noble family. His mother was a beautiful maid, otherwise he would not have been attracted by Yuan Shao's father. To be honest, when Yuan Shao and Cao Heizi competed for the top brand of the brothel in Luoyang, Mrs. Bian first took a fancy to Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu. Such a tall, rich and handsome man, with power and power in the family, and Yuan Shao was very ambitious at that time. Such a person would be very satisfied no matter who he was, let alone a girl in love with her!
But Lao Cao was not kind, and when Yuan Benchu went to borrow money to redeem Bian Xiaoxiao, he intercepted the rude. Lao Cao showed that Yuan Shao raised money to redeem Bian Xiaoxiao, but in fact he borrowed money in the name of Yuan Shao. Finally, he helped Bian Xiaoxiao redeem himself, and then he directly brought back his home! A raw rice cooked and cooked it and posted a wedding invitation. Now, Yuan Shao's beauty was completely ruined. At that time, there was no chaos in the world! The Cao family was also a family of the three masters, and the Yuan family was the same. The relationship between the two families could not be destroyed because of the two of them, a small brothel woman, so Yuan Shao could only swallow it in a mute way. Not only that, the beauty was gone, the money that Lao Cao borrowed was still on Yuan Shao's head. Who told Cao Cao to borrow it in the name of Yuan Shao! In the end, Yuan Shao had to pay the money and watch Cao Cao take the bride back to the new house with anger. This frustration cannot be mentioned!
So the reason why Yuan Shao didn't listen to Tian Feng and Ju Su's slow plan. The strategy of steady and protracted war was because Yuan Shao couldn't bear this tone. The enemy was right across the river bank. The enemy's strength was one-something that of him. As long as he worked hard, he could take it down. How could Yuan Shao bear it!
"Yes!" Since an enemy appears, what does it mean? It means military achievements! They have 100,000 navy troops and 150,000 troops on the side, while the enemy is only 50,000 at most. If such a huge gap in strength is not enough, it will be a pig. Now it is just who grabs the credit quickly! If you walk slowly, there will be no meat to eat, and there will be no soup. So each one is very excited.
"I understand!" Suddenly, a man stood up suddenly, his face full of joy, because he suddenly stood up, and the table was overturned.
"Guangping?!" Yuan Shao frowned because Ju Su knocked over the wine and food and almost fell on Yuan Shao. Fortunately, because Lao Cao took the initiative to die, Yuan Shao was in a good mood, so he didn't care too much about anything. He could only snort coldly and walked out.
"I understand, I understand!" Ju Su finally figured out what was wrong. That is, in the past month, although Guandu has fought very fiercely and miserably. One thing is that Cao's army has been defending and has never taken the initiative to attack!
Maybe you will say that if Cao's army attacks with just a few people, isn't it asking for death? Then you are wrong. The military strategy is clouded and they are fighting for ten times. Although Yuan Shao has a large number of troops, he is only three times the troops of Cao's army. Cao Cao has studied this person, Ju Su. After fighting with Gongsun Zan Jieqiao, Ju Su no longer paid attention to Gongsun Zan's Youzhou because he knew that Gongsun Zan would be defeated!
What is Ju Su doing so much time? He was studying the heroes of the world, studying who could stop their lords and make the Yuan family fail. After Hebei was pacified, Yuan Shao's army must go south to the Central Plains. At that time, the Central Plains were still mixed! Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, Kong Rong was in Beihai, and even Tian Kai and Liu Bei from Qingzhou, as well as the cheap brother of his lord Yuan Shu and Yuan Gaolu were all plotted into it.
But among these people, Ju Su and Tian Feng were most worried about Cao Cao. Tao Qian was old, so it was no longer enough to worry about it. Moreover, Tao Qian’s two sons were both useless. Is Xuzhou from the Tao family or a different story? Kong Rong from Beihai? It would be okay to let him teach, be a prince? Forget it! If his Beihai was not for the descendants of Yan Shenggong, everyone would have respected him, he would have been overthrown long ago. In a simple sentence, the dwarf of the giant action of the language is a theoretical figure!
Tian Kai is under Gongsun Zan's command. If you can't do it, don't expect your subordinates. Although Liu Bei's man Ju Su would frown, Liu Bei would not achieve much in the Central Plains, because one of the most important factors around Liu Bei's side is the lack of strategists. Only a good strategist can predict the enemy's initiative and make the initial decision when the time comes, but it will not be long before Liu Bei can succeed for a while. The rest is Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao was not the biggest prince at that time, Ju Su could still see that Cao Cao had great ambitions, especially when Lao Cao was in his attitude towards Emperor Han. Li Jue and Guo Si, who were far away in Chang'an, had a conflict. The two fought hard. At this time, Yang Feng and others took the opportunity to take Emperor Han from the western capital Chang'an. Ju Su and Tian Feng suggested to Yuan Shao to go to Xiong to welcome Emperor Han to Jizhou. Yuan Shao was worried that his rights would be constrained after Emperor Han arrived in Jizhou. He didn't think about it. The Emperor Han had no soldiers and no personnel, so how could he point fingers! He was not allowed to play by himself, just like Dong Zhuo back then, just like this! But Yuan Shao didn't want it! He gave Lao Cao a chance, and Cao directly welcomed Emperor Han to Xuchang. At that time, he was still a county town. Although Lao Cao was not rich, he still built a Xu Du for Emperor Han. This was a big deal!
It has a political advantage to threaten the emperor to command the princes. It can be said that Lao Cao said you are a traitor and you are a traitor. Even if you want to be promoted and make money, you have to inform Lao Cao. Moreover, with the Emperor of Han in hand, Lao Cao is orthodox.
Now his guess has become the real fact. Cao Cao destroyed Tao Qian, took down Beihai, and became the largest prince in the Central Plains. Yuan Shao is facing Cao Cao now. Since Cao Cao has great ambitions, how could he be passively beaten? This is not Cao Cao's style!
Back then, the eighteen princes of the eighteen routes met with Hulao Pass. Cao Cao knew that he might be ambushed, but he rushed over without hesitation and almost died at Dong Zhuo's hands. However, Cao Cao was not afraid at all. Now is Lao Cao afraid? Didn't he know that Guandu has an amazing defense and will be breached for a day? Moreover, being attacked for several days will have a great harm to morale!
Old Cao really didn't attack for a month, so it can only explain two problems. First, he was already cowardly, and he had lost confidence like Gongsun Zan, and he turned into a turtle and hid in Guandu to delay time. The first guess is obviously impossible. Cao Cao is not Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan's elite troops but there are no top strategists. Old Cao's command has top strategists! For example, Guo Jia, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, how could he make Lao Cao so depressed? Then there is only the second type. Old Cao was learning from King Wei of Qi during the Warring States Period! This is called "Bu Ming" and it has already made a big splash! Cao Cao was definitely prepared for this attack. Ju Su's eyes suddenly widened, "Lord, lord!"
That's right, Cao Cao was really prepared this time. Even this time in order to stimulate morale, Cao Cao also got on the warship in person. "You said that these powerful weapons can really wish me to win this war!" Cao Cao said, stroking the copycat version of the bed crossbows on the warship.
"Don't worry, lord! Our army will win in this battle!" Guo Jia was very confident. In fact, it was not that Guo Jia had confidence. But he had to have confidence. Guandu's morale had already reached a bottom. If there was no more battle or a victorious battle, then Cao's army would be defeated without fighting! So rather than saying that Guo Jia had confidence, he was already burning his way!
If the warhead wins, Guandu can be kept and continue to fight. If this battle is lost, hehe, then you can be buried in this Yellow River! It is also a good way to die if you sleep at the bottom of the river.
"Yes! Our army will win, we will win!" Cao Cao's face also became firm. Yuan Benchu, come on, come on! You have your Hebei army, and I, Cao Mengde, also have my elite children. Now let's see who is the winner, the king, the loser, and the enemy!
Yuan Shao's navy also began to sail out of the Dazhai, with a total of 100,000 troops. As mentioned earlier, the Yellow River Basin is much smaller than the Yangtze River, so what a big situation would it be if all the 100,000 troops were deployed! It is even more terrifying than in the Yangtze River.
To be honest, everyone has no confidence in their hearts, but the cheerful laughter from Cao's flagship made the Cao army calm down a little even their own lord, Prime Minister Cao, so confident. Then I will win this battle because even the lord has come out to command the imperial throne. You must know that Cao's several personal crusades have returned with great victory!
The soldiers of the Cao army were much calmer! The Yuan Shao soldiers on the opposite side were also looking at Cao Cao's army coldly. They were proud because they were stronger than Cao's army, and they were all elite. A hundred thousand troops besieged 30,000. Now the Cao army can only suffer defeat. The look of Yuan Shao's army looking at Cao Cao's army is a kind of victory.
"Brother Benchu is ahead!" Cao Cao personally supervised the battle. Yuan Shao had no reason not to get on the flagship. Cao Cao was shouting at the flagship of Yuan Shao's army opposite.
"Haha, I'm so confused! I haven't seen you for many days! You're still in this spirit, but you haven't changed at all!" Yuan Shao also began to respond to Cao Cao. His mentality has changed now. Cao Cao's name is Yuan Shao, which is a kind of affection. Yuan Shao directly called Cao Cao's life. This is a kind of love. Only elders can call him. Yuan Shao has put himself at a certain level.
"Bold!" Xu Chu next to him was about to be angry and scolded. Cao Cao was the third duke. Although Yuan Shao also had the position of a general, Cao Cao was even bigger after all.
"Oh! Zhongkang, retreat!" Cao Cao smiled and asked Xu Chu to retreat aside. Will Cao Cao be angry? Of course, he was called out among the hundreds of thousands of people, and no one would feel uncomfortable, but Cao Cao endured it and he couldn't be in trouble.
"Of course, Cao Cao has been thinking about Brother Benchu. He has disappeared for decades and Brother Benchu has not changed. How dare Cao change!"
"Haha, Ah Man, you should be all of your navy troops here! There are more than 100 warships, more than 30,000 troops!" Yuan Shao is worthy of being a man who knows military affairs. He can guess how many troops Cao Cao has when looking at these warships.
"How could Brother Benchu be so glorious that his 100,000 army was like this!" Cao Cao also saw Yuan Shao's navy.
"A Man brought these warships this time to regret it and was preparing to apologize to this general!" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao very proudly. When the two lords thought of comparing, one was black and fat, and the other was tall and mighty. They were simply two extremes! But Cao Cao, who was short and poor, really made a counterattack!
"Haha, Brother Benchu, the weather is getting hotter, so I just want to ask Brother Benchu to swim in the Yellow River!" Old Cao began to compete.
"The weather is hot? Swimming?" Even if the weather in Yuan Shao is hot, Yuan Shao, as a prince, naturally has a good place to escape the heat. His home is definitely warm in winter and cool in summer. As for swimming, if Yuan Shao is willing, he can't build a swimming pool in Jizhou, and he needs to go to the Yellow River! Lao Cao's words meant to send Yuan Shao to the bottom of the Yellow River.
"What a big tone! Cao Aman, I think you won't cry until you enter the coffin!" Yuan Shao's tone became cold.
"Brother Benchu, come!" Although Cao Cao smiled, his eyes were still murderous.
"Put our military orders and beat the drums to march!" Yuan Shao couldn't help it. This Cao Heizi was so hateful. Yuan Shao wanted to see how thick Cao Heizi was and whether his mouth was as straight as his skills.
"We're going to fight now! Benchu, your energy cultivation is not yet home!" Cao Cao smiled and shook his head, but his subordinates were not idle either. "I am a big man and a man are ready to fight! I will win this battle!"
"This battle will definitely win!" The sound of the sky echoed here. The time when Lao Cao chose was at this time. It was dawn. Yuan Shao also had enough time to organize the navy. Lao Cao even gave up the plan of raid. What was the purpose! The purpose was to always tell the people of the world that Cao Cao and Cao Mengde could defeat Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu upright on the front battlefield, and to tell the Cao army soldiers guarding Guandu that they would win! So there was no discount for this frontal battle!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike Cao Cao's decisive battle with Yuan Shao, on the Huaihe River, Feng Chu's small fleet finally came to the periphery of Shouchun's Naval Army's Dazhai! This place has been taken over by Liu Mang's army, because next to this naval army camp is the dock, which is the dock left by Yuan Shu's army in Shouchun City. Although it has not been used for many years, many facilities can still be repaired and put into use! Shipbuilding is the most important part of Liu Mang's army's plan, so when the naval army did not appear, the defense of the naval army's Dazhai was replaced by the city management army and the black chess army. Liu Mang also transferred the bows and arrows used for defense, falling rocks and rolling wood, etc. to the naval army's Dazhai. If you want to go to Shouchun, you can only walk on the water road except on land.
"This place, here, and here, and this place needs to be built like this. There must be an expansion of sails. No superstructure is needed, just leave a watchtower and sail!" Liu Mang was not sleeping in the Great Village of the Navy. He was discussing with a scholar and many craftsmen.
What they are talking about is the warship that is about to be built.
"Lord! If this is the case at the bottom of the ship, then he will not overturn!" The scholar beside him looked puzzled. He obviously had never seen such a warship. The bottom of ordinary ships is flat. How could there be a pointed boat like what Liu Mang said now? Such a boat will not overturn due to the imbalance between the left and right when placed on the water! Moreover, in Liu Mang's design drawings, the bottom of the ship was actually supported by a huge wooden pillar, which was to design the entire ship based on this wooden pillar!
"Zi Yang, so I need you to consider how much sword the boat needs to be at the bottom of the boat can maintain balance on the water surface. These are all for you to experiment! We are not in a hurry. We can make a few small boats to come out to experiment!" Liu Mang replied patiently. The Zi Yang he mentioned was Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang who Lao Cao was pursuing Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang. After leaving Lao Cao's Guandu camp, Liu Ziyang was originally confused and was about to find a place to live in seclusion, but he saw one thing, that was Liu Mang's order to recruit talents!
Although Liu Mang's order to recruit talents offended the gentry in the world, Liu Ye is still considered a gentry now? He is just a lonely person! And the four words above attracted Liu Ye, that is, only talent is the only way to take!
What Liu Ye lacks the most is talent! Thinking of this, Liu Ye couldn't help but be excited again, put away his bags and came towards Hefei! Most of Liu Ye's contribution to the crossbows in Liu Mang's army can be completed so quickly!
Just as Liu Mang and others were discussing fiercely, the messenger suddenly ran over and told Liu Mang that countless enemies were coming from the Shouchun Naval Camp above the Huai River!
"What's the situation? Is Liu Paopao unable to think about it anymore and wants to fight with him?!" (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
