Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1326 Yanjin War
The autumn is cool and cool, and the temperature in the Central Plains has also dropped suddenly.

But this temperature is just right.

Too hot is not conducive to combat, it will consume too much physical strength, and even cause dehydration and dehydration, and this autumn season is a good time to start a war.

Cao Jun started to move.

Cao Cao has already entered the battlefield. Guandu, where he placed his Xingyuan, is a battlefield north of Guandu and on both sides of the Yellow River. Now the battle of crossing the river has become a key battle.

After Yuan Shao lost the white horse, he lost the initiative.

So he wants to regain the initiative.

First of all, he had to find a new place to open the gap in the Yellow River. He could not give the south bank enough defensive space and consume Yuan Jun's main force.

This place is not hard to find.

The Yanjin area has become a bloody battlefield.

Yuan Jun and Cao Jun, the soldiers and horses of both sides added up, at least in it, invested no less than 20 main forces, and the two sides began to fight around Yanjin.

For a radius of hundreds of miles, the sound of horseshoes flying and the awe-inspiring sound of golden and iron horses reverberating.

Little North Slope.

This is Cao Jun's command station, where the frontline command is located.

Cao Cao went north from Guandu and came to supervise the battle in person.

The tragedy of this battle was beyond his imagination. So far, Cao Jun has lost more than [-] sons in battle. This kind of consumption is also a great fit for Cao Jun.

Standing on a hillside, looking up, staring ahead.

He is the North Shore.

Since he captured the white horse, he has opened a gap here, and it is a point for Cao Jun to go north.

And Yuan Jun, if he wants to go south from here, he must first unplug their team on the north bank and rush to the south bank.

Cao Jun, on the other hand, was more greedy and wanted to occupy this ferry as the bridgehead for Cao Jun going north, so they fought across a Yellow River.

This made the echo between Cao Jun's ending more difficult.

"Report to my lord, General Cao Hong was ambushed by Yuan Jun twenty miles away, and his troops retreated ten miles away!"

The scout reported from outside the tent.

"Continue to investigate!"

Dian Wei, who was beside Cao Cao, replaced Cao Cao and sent the scouts away with a roar. After the main camp, except for Cao Cao, no other generals were allowed to wear swords. Sword, the tiger's eyes scanned all directions, especially on this battlefield, he was very vigilant.

As Cao Cao's old guard, Dian Wei is very responsible. He always remembers his responsibilities and does not allow Cao Cao to have accidents at any time.

"Twenty miles?"

Cao Cao looked at the sand table in front of him.

This is a terrain simulation toy plagiarized from Mu Jun's. Compared with looking at any kind of marching map, this kind of sand table can give people a more intuitive impression.

"Something's wrong!"

Guo Jia wore a green robe, and served as Cao Jun's military adviser to sacrifice wine. He was the number one military adviser around Cao Cao, and he discussed all matters of Cao Cao's march.

"what happened?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at the terrain sand table, and looked at Guo Jia at the same time, and said: "The main force of Yuan Jun is in this direction, isn't it?"

"Normally, yes!"

Guo Jia said: "But we missed the white horse!"

"White horse?"

"The white horse is in our hands now!" Guo Jia said in a low voice: "They have lost the support of the white horse. If they want to go south from Yanjin, they must find a support point. If there is no support point, even if they win Yanjin, I am afraid there is no room to cross the river!"

"Then where do you think their pick-up point is?"

Cao Cao asked.

"The best one is of course the white horse, but..." Guo Jia was a little unpredictable about the enemy's intentions: "That's unlikely, after all, we have a lot of troops in the white horse, and they need a lot of troops to recapture the white horse. , can’t hide it from our scouts!”

"Then besides the white horse?"

"It should be here!"

Guo Jia pointed to a place and said in a low voice.

"Xinxiang?"

Cao Cao's pupils changed slightly.

The white horse is to the east.

Xinxiang is just to the west.

One east and one west, sandwiching Yanjin in the middle.

The place directly opposite is Guandu.

According to Yuan Jun's thoughts, they had to go south to Guandu before they could be regarded as the first step to firmly attack the Central Plains, and only then could they be regarded as opening up the situation on the ground.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Immediately order General Cao Ren to lead the army to the west and march into Xinxiang!" Cao Cao ordered.

"promise!"

A messenger moved quickly.

But in less than a day, the army has already returned.

"Report to my lord, Xinxiang has been occupied by Yuan Jun. General Cao Ren is stationed on the hillside ten miles outside of Xinxiang. Please tell me, whether to attack Xinxiang by force!"

The messenger knelt down on one knee and reported.

"too fast!"

Cao Cao's pupils flickered coldly.

When you come and go on the battlefield, everyone presses up their troops. If you underestimate the enemy, you will suffer a loss. Cao Jun got off to a smooth start when he ate the white horse first.

It's just going north, after all, it's a little difficult.

So for the first time, it seemed a little weak.

"Although Xinxiang has a ferry to cross to the south, Yuan Jun may not dare!"

Guo Jia was very calm: "I thought about it, maybe this is just a bait released by the enemy!"

Ferry south from Xinxiang Ferry.

Yuan Jun can do it.

It's just that it is more dangerous to operate, and it is easy to leave gaps. The most taboo in marching is to leave gaps and be caught by the enemy. If Cao Jun attacks fiercely, under the double blow, it may turn into a large-scale No matter how you look at it, it's not appropriate.

With Yuan Shao's sophistication on the battlefield, and Yuan Shao's many advisers, he shouldn't have made such a mistake.

"If it's a certain family, you can't miss the opportunity. If you get the opportunity, you must fight to the death!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and his voice was a little low: "Xinxiang Nandu, drive straight in, once you take Yuanwu and Yangwu, and then send troops to Guandu to eat Zhongmou, that is equivalent to cutting off our hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yellow River." Besides, we will fall into a passive state by then!"

Strategic deployment, you come and go, this kind of change is very big.

It does not mean that your strategic plan will remain static.

Guandu is indeed the best place for a decisive battle.

Cao Cao even planned to put Yuan Jun in and put him in Guandu to fight, but he couldn't make it so obvious, and he had to be on guard, Yuan Jun would suddenly pick out the chessboard and bite him hard, biting him to death. At that time, it will be a tragedy for Cao Jun to turn against customers.

"If they really plan to cross the river from Xinxiang, then at this time, the east should be empty, and there will definitely not be many soldiers and horses in the north of the white horse!"

Guo Jia said: "You can try to let Guan Yu attack Liyang City from Baima!"

"Ok!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up slightly: "Come here!"

"exist!"

"Order Guan Yu to send troops to Li Yang to attack the Yuan army in Li Yang!"

"promise!"

The military order was passed on, but Cao Cao was still not at ease.

"Currently our position is here, surrounded by Yuan Jun, but Yuan Jun's layout must have confused us a little bit!" Cao Cao played the role of the lord on the battlefield, and he was very careful at this time. Decision: "I still think Yanjin is the main battlefield. Since they don't take the initiative, let's take the initiative!"

"Can!"

Guo Jia heard the words, thought about it, and did not object to Cao Cao's idea.

He is just a military division.

The biggest difference between a military adviser and a general is that he can plan and analyze the enemy's intentions, and can simulate the position and direction of movement of both sides based on this situation.

And the military division can't be the chief general because he can't make a decision.

This decision is still made by the master himself, and it requires a certain amount of courage.

"Lu Bu!"

"exist!"

Lu Bu stood tall and tall.

After entering Cao Ying, he acted cautiously, doing more things and less talking. During the current period of time, he finally restored some image and gained some Cao Cao's trust.

In this battle, Cao Cao pulled him out from the defense in the south, and participated in the battle in Dingding, Zhongyuan in the north, which can be regarded as his guard, and more than half of him was lifted.

As long as he displayed his abilities in this battle, he believed that Cao Cao would trust him even more.

"Order your department to go north immediately and advance twenty miles!"

Cao Cao said in a low voice.

"promise!"

Lu Bu led the way.

....................................

Cao Jun was mobilized again and again, and Yuan Jun on the battlefield was also mobilized again and again. Both sides came and went, at least a dozen small small battlefields were opened up. As for scout encounters, there were countless.

In the shadow of sword light and blood, the number of lives withered every day is an innumerable number.

Yuan Jun's camp was built on a mountain peak less than [-] miles north of Yanjin. It is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also can overlook everything in front of it.

"Zhang He is pretty good!"

Yuan Shao's recent news is all bad news, and it's rare for him to have good news. With a tense face, he smiled a little.

"General Zhang He's ability has never been inferior to that of General Ju Yi!"

Tian Feng said with a smile: "I am not surprised to be able to defeat General Cao Ren and kill more than a thousand enemies!"

He paused, and said: "I'm more surprised now, but Cao Jun's reaction is too fast. We have just sent troops to Xinxiang, and their main force has already arrived. There must be twists and turns in Xinxiang crossing the river!"

"Whether the battlefield is big or small, Cao Cao is not stupid. Why can't they see our deployment? It just depends on whether they are fooled!"

Yuan Shao said with a sneer.

He never thought of crossing the river from Xinxiang.

Xinxiang Ferry was originally not big, and it couldn't supply hundreds of thousands of troops going south. Pioneer could accommodate it, but it was so easy for Cao Jun to cut off the main force.

Of course, Xinxiang was always a breakthrough, so he sent [-] main forces to attack Xinxiang, led by his general, Chunyu Qiong.

"I think Cao's army is more cautious!" Tian Feng never thought that his army could cross the river and go down the river so easily. There must be a bloody battle on the north bank. This bloody battle must be ferocious. It's hard to break through.

"Report!"

Before the words fell, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside, and a horse rushed in. The scouts on the horses carried the command flag, and after jumping off the horses, they rushed into the camp quickly and bowed their heads to the ground.

"Report to the lord, Cao Jun's main force has moved!"

"Moved?"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, and a cold light burst out of his eyes, and asked: "Which direction?"

thing.

One is Xinxiang and the other is Liyang.

It's all in his hands now.

Because Cao Jun took the white horse first, he had already obtained the Beidu bridgehead, Yanjin. At this time, they had the initiative. No matter which direction they went, Yuan Jun had to be careful.

"Front to the north!"

The scout replied: "It's less than twenty miles away from our army camp!"

"Okay!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneered: "I've underestimated him, Cao Mengde. He dares to fight me hand-to-hand at this time. Does he want a quick victory?"

Facing north is the main force against him.

Yuan Jun's main force is waiting for work at leisure.

They are looking for opportunities to travel south.

And Cao Jun, after taking the white horse, used the white horse as a springboard to eat Yanjin, which belonged to the north, and the Yellow River was across the north, which would lengthen their entire front.

According to the art of war, at this time, it is best for Cao Jun to fight steadily, because Yuan Jun, not Cao Jun, is in a hurry. They use retreat as an advance and defense as an attack, and they have already exerted their maximum combat effectiveness.

It seems a bit disadvantageous to take the initiative to attack at this time.

unless……

They have bigger intentions.

"Lord!"

Tian Feng thought for a while, and said: "Since they took the initiative, we will fight. No matter how much we think, it is not as good as the time to fight. After all, it is related to our morale!"

There is a saying, cut the mess with a sharp knife.

On the battlefield, the counselors of both sides come and go, guessing the intentions of both sides. Knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible. As long as you guess the opponent's intentions first, you can win.

But people's hearts are not so easy to guess.

Sometimes they guessed too much, and the two sides were afraid to fight head-on. If at this time, there was a force of troops, they would suffer a big loss.

"you're right!"

Yuan Shao is not a person who responds slowly. Although he has many problems, such as being suspicious, such as employing people to see his background, he has all the problems of a family member, but it is not only because of his background that he can get to where he is today.

In terms of background, he is not as good as Yuan Gonglu.

Yuan Gonglu is the first son.

He is the most orthodox successor of the Yuan family, so he can inherit Runan, the old nest of the Yuan family. With a single call, countless scholars follow him, and it is easy to achieve.

He, Yuan Shao, rebelled against the righteousness as a bastard, went far to Hebei, and created a hegemony in Hebei. He has the heritage of the Yuan family, but more is his ability, scheming, artifice, and city.

On the battlefield, he is also an experienced general.

"Where is Ju Yi!"

"exist!"

Ju Yi bowed his head in front of him, and this intense battle broke out all over his body.

"Order your troops to pull out the camp immediately, and within an hour, face Cao Jun at Guanhedu!"

Yuan Shao was decisive in killing and attacking. Since he wanted to fight, he had to fight a bloody battle.

It is impossible not to fight this battle.

If you want to break through Yanjin, you can't be too cautious. He has already invested all the troops in Hebei. There are hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are more than a thousand generals. The advantage is much greater than that of the Central Plains.

If you can't win head-on, then it will be a bit difficult to fight next.

........................

Tatata! ! !
Horseshoe Xiaoxiao.

Hurrah! ! ! !

The wind and sand started.

"kill!"

With a roar, Yuan Jun and Cao Jun, like two torrents, collided together, and the battle broke out.
