East County.

After achieving the initial victory, Yuan and Cao joined forces to enter a strategic stalemate with the Han army.

There are many crossings on the Yellow River. Cao Cao knew that without Baima Ferry and Yanjin Ferry, it would be impossible to block the Han army to the north of the Yellow River. The southward movement was inevitable, so he simply made a strategic contraction to prevent the Han army from sneak attacks on the rear.

As Liu Han went south, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Guandu was where the decisive battle between Liu Han and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took place.

After crossing the Yellow River, there were many water networks, such as the Yingou River, the Honggou River, the Pu River, the Jishui River, the Bian River, and the Sui River. It was basically impossible for the Han army to attack from the east of Yanzhou.

Of course, you can choose to fight on land, but without using the navy, it is very difficult to cross these rivers for logistical supplies, and you must also consider the phased retreat of Cao's army in the direction of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao is the only enemy Liu Han can take a fancy to, so he will not be careless at all. Yuan Shao's entry into the battlefield has completely deviated from the scheduled pre-war meeting. Therefore, when re-formulating the battle plan, not only Yanzhou, but also the entire Big man.

This time, it is not a game between Liu Han and Cao Cao, but a game between Liu Han and the princes of the Han Dynasty.

In Xuzhou, with Yuan Shu dragging Liu Bei and Lu Bu stabbing him in the back, it would take several months to finish.

In Liangzhou, there are people who are in charge of the third assistant. It will be difficult for Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang to break in. Moreover, a group of elite cavalry has been assembled on the grassland. If they really dare to come, Liu Han will not mind coming from behind them. .

In Yizhou, Liu Yan died of illness, and Liu Zhang had just taken over the mess, so he probably didn't have time to join in the fun.

As for Jingzhou, Nanyang was occupied by Yuan Shao. Liu Biao could not openly oppose him, so he could only come secretly to help Yuan Shao and Cao Cao with grain, grass and ordnance.

Therefore, Liu Han's current main enemies are Yuan and Cao.

The east is unreachable and there are many waterways, so there is only the west. From Sili to Chenliu, the only way is Guandu!

Liu Han crossed the Chasm River and came to Guandu. He looked at Jia Xu and asked, "How is it?"

Jia Xu was sitting in Sili and said, "My lord, 40,000 troops have crossed the Chaogou River so far. There is not a lot of pressure on food and grass."

The battle is about logistics, especially in this kind of large-scale war, logistics is the top priority. Ever since he recaptured Sili, Liu Han has been building it into a powerful logistics supply station.

"Where are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"

"In addition to some of the troops guarding the key passes, Cao Cao has focused on fortification. He has gathered 40,000 people in Guandu. Yuan Shao has also merged with Cao Cao. Now the two have combined forces to reach 80,000."

"It seems they have a lot of capable people!"

On the whole, their arrangement can be said to be perfect. There are many Han soldiers and few coalition soldiers. If they divide their forces to block the Yellow River ferry, they will be defeated individually. Not only will it be difficult to stop them from going south, but they will also dismantle the small number of troops. become more dispersed and less effective. Guandu is different. It is located in the upper reaches of Honggou, close to the Bianshui River. Honggou Canal connects Hulao, Gong, and Luo passes to the west, and goes to Huaisi to the east. It is a barrier between Yan, northern and eastern Henan, and it must be a battleground for both sides.

Deploy heavy troops here for strategic decisive battles, which can reduce logistical pressure while concentrating troops.

"I heard that Cao Cao has a head wind. He is in Chenliu and hasn't come over yet?" "Yes, the person commanding the army in Guandu now is Xun You."

"Ok?"

"Lord, what's the problem?"

"Problem? The problem is... I have prepared two tables of food, but only one table of guests came. How can I eat this meal?"

Liu Han was deep in thought and looked at the bookkeeper behind him: "Kong Zhang (Chen Lin), your writing is good, how about writing a message?"

The chief clerk, Chen Lin, stood up and walked to Liu Han. "Lord, the content is..."

"Enumerate Cao Cao's crimes and send them to all counties. Gongsun Zan has already scolded Yuan Benchu, so we will not follow suit. You think about it, it is best to scold him!"

"Here."

Everyone was puzzled as to how an appeal could cure Cao Cao's illness, but since their lord was so calm, there was no harm in writing an appeal, as it would just boost the morale of the army.

After three days and three nights of contemplation, Chen Lin finally started to write, and a shocking "A Visit to Yanzhou for Liu Han" was released!

Behind Chen Liu, Cao Cao was lying on the bed with unbearable pain from his head. Someone was reading Liu Han's crusade to Cao Cao: "Gai Wenming's plan is to make changes in danger, and loyal ministers are afraid of establishing power. So there are Extraordinary people will do extraordinary things, and extraordinary things will happen, and then they will achieve extraordinary achievements. They are extraordinary people, so they are also planned by extraordinary people. In the past, Qin was strong and weak, and Zhao Gao was in charge, autocratic power, and powerful. Due to the coercion of others at the time, no one dared to speak out. In the end, Wang Yi was defeated, his ancestors were burned, and he was humiliated to this day, which will forever be a lesson to the world. In the second year of Zhenlu Empress, the Chan and Lu dictatorships were established, and the two armies were controlled internally, and Liang and Zhao were controlled externally. He was good at predicting all odds, making decisions without prohibitions, and promoted the superiors from below, which chilled the hearts of the people in the sea. So Jianghou and Zhu Xu raised their troops and angered them, punished the barbarians for their rebellion, and respected Taizong. Therefore, the king's rule was prosperous and the light was obvious. This was the minister's establishment. The clear expression of power."

Seeing that Cao Cao's head was in unbearable pain, he stopped.

Cao Cao ordered: "Why don't you read it? Keep reading! You can't stop without my order."

"Cao Cao, the school captain, his grandfather often served Cao Teng, and together with Zuo Coffin and Xu Huang, he acted as a monster and harmed the people; his father, Cao Song, was raised by a beggar. He assumed the throne because of stolen goods, bribed powerful families, stole the tripod, and overturned Important weapon. Cao Cao had no virtue at first, was cunning and coordinated, and loved chaos and misfortune... But Cao Cao accepted the capital to recruit troops, committed crimes, cut off Yuanyuan, killed the good and harmed the good. Therefore, the prefect of Jiujiang gave way to the side, and the talented people were handsome. He was great, well-known in the world, spoke uprightly, and was not a flatterer. His body and head were hanged by a gangster, and his wife and children suffered death. Naturally, the scholars were angry and the people's resentment became heavier. One man raised his arms and the whole state raised his voice, so he bowed He was defeated by Xu Fang, and the land was seized from Lu Bu. He wandered eastward and had no stronghold. The shogunate only had the righteousness of strong branches and weak branches, and would not join the party of traitors, so it restored reinforcements with banners and armour, and swept into battle with the sound of golden drums. If the shogunate is to revive, spread the crowds to rush to suppress him, save him from death, and restore him to the position of magistrate, then the shogunate will have no virtue for the people of Yantu, but it will have great achievements in Cao Cao..."

When the counselor read this, Cao Cao shouted: "Ah!"

When the counselor saw this, he was so frightened that he knelt in front of Cao Cao's bed. When Cao Hong and other generals heard Cao Cao's shouting, they hurried over and looked at Cao Cao worriedly.

I saw Cao Cao lying on the bed and suddenly opened his eyes. The pain in his head seemed to be relieved all of a sudden. Cao Cao shook his head, took off the towel on his head, and walked off the bed. After he got out of bed, he touched his head.

"Hey? My, my headache is gone! Huh? Hey!"

Cao Cao turned around and took the memorandum from a certain counselor and looked at it, "Who wrote this memorandum?"

"I heard it was written by Chen Lin."

"Hehe, he is very talented in writing. I wonder what he would do when he knew that this slogan not only did not hit me, but also cured my disease? Hahaha..." (End of Chapter)
