The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

The battle on the Puyang side is still going on. Lu Bu values ​​​​his troops, while Cao Cao values ​​​​his troops.

In the last two games, Lu Bu won a big victory and Cao Cao won a small victory, resulting in a score of 4 or 6.

Cao Cao came back from Xuzhou with his victorious troops. He didn't expect to fight Lu Bu like this. He couldn't accept it!

The third game begins!

"We must capture Puyang tonight!"

This time Cao Cao used counterintuitive tactics. The Tian family, a wealthy family in Puyang County, was willing to become an internal agent and help Cao Cao capture Puyang. Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed. No matter how strong a city was, it could only be breached from within.

Cao Cao did not doubt his presence and personally led his troops to enter from the east gate of Puyang City. However, Cao Cao didn't know that Tian had played Mission Impossible!

He is not Cao Cao's undercover agent, but wants to lure Cao Cao into Puyang and catch the turtle in the urn.

Cao Cao led his troops into Puyang with the front foot, but the east gate was burned with the back foot.

Cao Cao was about to launch a surprise attack on Lu Bu in the city, but Lu Bu's army should have been prepared. In addition, the east gate was burned, and Cao Cao's retreat was cut off. At this moment, no matter how stupid Cao Cao was, he knew that he was being tricked, and he thought he could sneak up and kill him. After stabbing Lu Bu once in the waist, he didn't expect that Kun Kun would now be like being stripped naked and walking on the street. It was... very stupid!

As expected, Cao Cao was defeated again and had to flee privately. Lu Bu's cavalry went around to capture Cao Cao.

At this time, a group of cavalry happened to encounter Cao Cao, but these cavalry did not recognize him as Yanzhou Mu.

The cavalry stopped Cao Cao and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?"

Cao Cao said: "That's the one riding the yellow horse over there!"

After saying that, Lu Bu's cavalry ran after the man on the yellow horse.

I don’t know who this unfortunate guy on the yellow horse is, but he has become a scapegoat.

If Lu Bu knew that he was so close to killing Cao Cao, would he regret it so much that his intestines would turn green?

The east gate of Puyang City was burned, and the other three gates were tightly controlled by Lu Bu's people, making it impossible to break out. Only the east gate that was set on fire was empty. "Wealth is found in danger!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, became cruel, ran out of the east gate despite the fire, and successfully escaped!

Although it is very embarrassing, living is victory.

At that time, Cao Cao personally led his troops into Puyang, and all the generals were waiting in the camp. Later, they learned that the plan was exposed and Cao Cao was not seen, so they were horrified. After Cao Cao responded, he ignored the pain and gritted his teeth and persisted until the troops in each camp were exhausted, and everyone felt relieved.

A frightening night!

This made Cao Cao's hatred of the powerful nobles rise to another level!

This defeat made Cao Cao completely understand himself. Although he had many soldiers, he could not win a war by relying on more people.

Compared to Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, Cao Cao had a deeper understanding of the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army. It was already very difficult for Lu Bu to deal with just these few people, but how difficult was it for Liu Han to face the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang Army? horrible?

The failure of the Battle of Puyang was the biggest military setback Cao Cao suffered in the past two years. Not only did they lose their territory, they were also repeatedly blocked or besieged by Lu Bu. Misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on the back of misfortune. It was these war experiences that allowed Cao Cao to achieve compressed growth.

Cao Cao remembers eating as well as fighting. Since he can't defeat Lu Bu and the local snake in Yanzhou behind him, he won't fight and fight with him!

At the same time, during the time when Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting in Puyang, Zhang Chao, Wu Zi and other county governors did not send troops, Juancheng, Fanxian and Dong'a were not attacked, leaving Cao Cao with only three The city was destroyed, and his army was still under Puyang City, but these people foolishly chose to wait and see who would win in the end.

All I can say is that it is indeed the powerful style of the nobles!

Injuring others is not good for oneself.

After a great battle, the city of Puyang was reduced to ashes. Lu Bu abandoned Puyang and headed south. Cao Cao did not occupy Puyang, but withdrew his three cities eastward. It can be said that these two battles between Cao Cao and Lu Bu were lonely, and they lost so many people and consumed so much food and grass in vain.

Everyone fought for Puyang for a long time, but in the end no one wanted Puyang. As for the people of Puyang, the two Yanzhou shepherds expressed their powerlessness.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

Just when they were both in a cooling-off period, both sides also received intelligence from Jizhou - Liu Han had arrived in Yecheng.

The news of Liu Han's arrival in Yecheng was like a huge dark cloud weighing on the hearts of Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

Juancheng, Cao Cao’s base camp.

After a battle with Lu Bu that resulted in 20,000 casualties, Cao Cao temporarily chose to stop fighting and prepare for the autumn harvest.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think is the purpose of his sudden visit to Yecheng?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "I don't know. There is too little information available to judge his true intentions."

Xun You: "My lord, throughout the military history of the king of Hejian, it is consistent with the art of war that 'the odd and the right complement each other, and there is no limit to the victory'. All warriors use the right combination to win with surprise. Therefore, those who are good at making surprises are as endless as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible." Rivers and seas. End and begin again, so are the sun and the moon. Resurrection from the dead is also the case with the four seasons."

Xun You accurately summarized Liu Han's combat style, "From the initial raid on the Xianbei Royal Court in Bingzhou, to the destruction of the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court and Wuhuan Royal Court, and then to deal with the Qiang rebellion, even in the later Luoyang Battle, this man It's all like this, use a regular force to attract the enemy's attention, and then use one or even several surprise soldiers to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."

Cao Cao nodded and acknowledged Xun You's words. The Battle of Luoyang was indeed like this. A frontal decisive battle was not the cruelest blow. It was a bit like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind. The cruelest blow came from Zhang Liao's night attack. This battle was completely defeated. The confidence of the princes to regain their strength.

Soldiers who can successfully survive several battles can become a powerful force with a little training. However, Zhang Liao or Liu Han did not give them this chance at all.

"Gongda, please continue talking."

"My lord, if we follow this line of thinking, the King of Hejian in Yecheng must be a serious soldier. His purpose is to attract our attention."

"Then...where are the surprise soldiers? What is their purpose?"

Xun You thought about it again and again, but no one bothered him. "Maybe we can go out of Hanoi to attack Dongjun, or we can go out of Hulao to attack Sujue."

Xun You boldly stated his guess: "A certain person prefers the latter. He sent troops from Sili to capture Chenliu and cut off our retreat."

"But both Dongjun and Chen Liu will help us relieve the pressure from the side."

At this time, Zhao Yan (also known as Boran) also spoke: "Mr. Gongda's analysis is very reasonable, but we cannot ignore another issue. No matter how unexpected the King of Hejian's troops are, his regular troops are also a force." This powerful army cannot be ignored. If a fight really breaks out, can the side of Baima Crossing withstand it?"

Liang Mao (also known as Bo Fang): "Boran is right, and... Yanzhou is a large plain!"

Plains are meant to be the main battlefield for cavalry, which can give full play to its advantage - mobility.

Cao Cao has already experienced the power of Lu Bu's cavalry. If he encounters Liu Han's ten thousand cavalry charging into the formation, how will he fight?

We can only defend the city.

For a time, Cao Jun's top brass felt gloomy and gloomy. (End of chapter)
