New Lubu War

Chapter 205 It's Over

In January of the fifth year of Jian'an, Chen Lin, secretary of Yuan Shaoling, wrote a call for action, and the Battle of Guandu began.

Yuan Shao set off in person.

Shenpei and Fengji presided over the military affairs, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You accompanied the army as advisers, and generals Yan Liang and Zhang He were commanders.

An army of [-] men marched southward in a mighty manner, intending to cross the Yellow River and take Xudu directly.

Cao Cao naturally took the initiative to fight.

Yan Liang commanded an army of [-] and stationed in Baima, while Yuan Shao led the army to Liyang.

Yuan Shao wanted to quickly defeat Cao Cao in one go.

But things backfired, and the white horse battle lasted for several months.

In the end, Cao Jun defeated Yan Liang's troops.

Without Guan Yu riding the red rabbit, although Yan Liang fled in embarrassment, he retreated and survived.

However, due to Yuan Shao's power and the large number of cavalry in his army, Cao Cao did not dare to fight Yuan Shao north of the open Yellow River.

So the local people migrated, crossed the Yellow River, and withdrew to Guandu.

The south of the Yellow River is Cao Cao's territory, and a decisive battle here is naturally beneficial to Cao Cao.

Although the white horse was defeated, Yuan Shao still swung his troops across the river relying on strong troops and horses, a large number of people, and the mentality of the decisive battle remained unchanged.

After crossing the river, the two armies of Yuan and Cao fought again in Yanjin.

Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei and General Gao Lan to fight.

By the way, Liu Bei at this time is still under Yuan Shao's tent.

As a result, he was defeated by Cao Jun again.

Not only was he defeated, but even Gao Lan was shot and killed by Xiahou Dun.

It is quite normal to have such a result!

Without Zhuge Liang and without Xu Shu, how can Liu Bei's military ability compare with Cao Cao who has a lot of advisers?
Gao Lan is even more of a warrior, lacking in strategy.

What's more, although Guan, Zhang, and Zhao are brave and invincible, how can Dianwei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and other generals be vegetarians?
Without Zhang Xiu's surrender to Cao, there would be no scene of Cao Cao's forced acceptance of the Chui family. Then, whether it is Cao Anmin, Cao Ang, or Dian Wei, they are naturally still there.

The art of war is not as good as the army formation, and if the general is defeated, failure is a matter of course.

Although Gao Lan is known as a famous general in Hebei and has a great reputation, there is still a big gap between Yan Liang and Zhang He.

It is a reasonable thing to die at the gun of Xiahou Dun, the "thousand army general".

In this way, in the two battles of Baima and Yanjin, Yuan Jun lost troops and generals, and his spirit was greatly frustrated.

Cao Cao is a cautious person.

He didn't get carried away just because he won the previous two battles.

On the contrary, although Cao Jun won, he retreated again and led his troops back to Guandu to garrison.

After Cao Jun returned to Guandu, Yuan Jun gathered at Yangwu.

Many counselors in the army persuaded Yuan Shao to give up the idea of ​​a quick decisive battle, but Yuan Shao refused to listen.

Also.

Aman, is there anything I, Yuan Benchu, don't understand?
In front of my family of four generations and three lords, Ah Man, who was born as an eunuch, was born inferior.

Otherwise, how could you retreat again and again?

Don't you just know you can't do it?

That being the case, it is natural to step up our efforts and fight decisively as soon as possible.

Did Yuan Shao really think so?

do not know.

Because this is Lu Bu's idea.

Seeing the battle report from Zhang Liao, Lu Bu guessed.

This is not mentioned.

In short, Yuan Shao, who suffered successive losses, did not have the slightest thought of gaining wisdom by taking a fall, and personally led the army to approach Guandu.

Perhaps because of his invincibility in the past ten years, Yuan Shao swelled up, and his tactics were very bold.

Approaching Guandu, camping next to Cao Jun!
The military camps stretching for tens of miles from east to west blocked Cao's army regiments.

However, there are indeed advantages to having more people.

Yuan Shao's style of play really made Cao Cao suffer a lot.

This is the mundane world, no matter how powerful the general in the army is, it is impossible to face the army alone.

Yuan Shao's family background is so strong, all the equipment in the army is excellent, and there is no shortage of strong bows and crossbows, which greatly weakens the advantage of the numerous generals in Cao Cao's army.

One must know that before he was promoted to grand master, Lu Bu was still the veritable number one general in the world.

But he still didn't dare to face the well-equipped army alone.

Lu Bu is like this, let alone others?

Of course, Cao Cao is not a vegetarian.

With all the means out, Yuan Shao couldn't advance an inch.

The two sides fought back and forth in Guandu, and no one could do anything to the other, so the stalemate came to an end.

During this period, Liu Bei had other ideas.

He was not Yuan Shao's subordinate at all, but he had nowhere to go after being driven away by Cao Cao, so he relied on Yuan Shao.

He didn't want to fight Yuan Shao to death.

Especially after seeing Yuan Shao's headstrong conceit.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou, who persuaded Yuan Shao to change his war thinking, were all imprisoned. Do you think Yuan Shao is stubborn and conceited?

So, at a certain time, Liu Bei left Yuan Shao with his troops and horses under the pretext of quelling the Yellow Turban rebellion of Liu Pi and Gong Du in Qingzhou.

At this time, Liu Bei had been raised and watched for nearly twenty years, and his reputation had spread all over the world, and his name of benevolence was recognized by people all over the world.

Therefore, the process of conquering the Yellow Turban Rebellion went very smoothly.

Because, seeing Liu Bei, Liu Pi and Gong all directly led their subordinates to surrender!

Bringing the surrendered Liu Pi and Gong Du, as well as the loyal Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others, Liu Bei arrived in Runan.

At this time, Liu Bei didn't want to join Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

He intends to take another look at the situation.

However, it is impossible for Cao Cao to tolerate Liu Bei being leisurely in his backyard.

That's another episode, so I won't show it for now.

In short, Yuan Cao fought fiercely, arduously and protractedly in this battle.

Time passed slowly and came to September.

It stands to reason that the three-monthly gathering of generals in Jiuyuan is about to start again.

But this time exception.

None of the frontier generals rushed to Jiuyuan.

Not only did he not go to Jiuyuan, but he also disappeared!
Where have you been?
It turned out that from the beginning of September, Taiyuan, Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Shangjun, including the headquarters of General Jiuyuan, all broke up and rushed to Hedong secretly.

end of September.

Bingzhou's [-] elite cavalry all came to Hedong.

It took more than half a year to transport, and the grain and grass stored in Hedong were countless, enough for [-] soldiers and horses to use for a year!
……

The junction of Hedong County and Xihe County.

The place where [-] Huns soldiers and horses were wiped out in the past.

Zhang Liao, with a square face, broad eyes, and a calm atmosphere, dressed in military uniform, stepped into a tent that didn't look very conspicuous from the outside.

"All the generals have arrived, my lord, please move!"

Facing a young man with a peerless appearance holding the book of "Yi" in his hand, Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said.

Seeing Zhang Liao turning a blind eye to the book in his hand, Lu Bu had no choice but to put down the "Yi" book and glanced at him.

Zhang Liao
General level: Extreme warrior

Qualification: Talented and Beautiful Jade

Comprehension: draw inferences about other cases from one instance
Talent: one in a million
Martial Arts: Half Step Grand Master
Arm strength: the strength of a tiger and an ox

Explanation: The sword technique is at the peak, and the force is close to the world's upper limit.

Apart from Lu Bu, Zhang Liao has already stood at the pinnacle of this world.

Therefore, the name of the top fighter is well-deserved!
"It's over!"

Lu Bu thought to himself:

"Although I have been teaching you for sixteen years, with Zhang Liao's qualifications, understanding and talent, under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of making half a step forward!"

"For Zhang Liao, the realm of a great master will never be reached!"

"Unless the world level is improved, or he is taken to the world of high martial arts!"
