The beginning of Douluo's previous life and this life is exposed Tang San

Chapter 298 298 Thief Cao is actually by my side? !
  Everyone's emotions gradually merged into the story played in the sky screen.

【Chasing the deer in the Central Plains
  In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was killed by troops sent by Tao Qian on his way to Cao Cao's residence. Cao Cao then marched into Xuzhou and expanded his power to the southeast. Tao Qian retreated to Tan County. Soon Cao Cao's army was running out of supplies and he withdrew his troops.

In the summer of the following year, Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou again and took territory as far as the East China Sea. During Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou, there was a massive killing spree. Along the way, "all the chickens and dogs were gone, and no one left the ruins." Chen Gong, the garrison of Dongjun, was dissatisfied with Cao Cao, so he conspired with Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao, Zhonglang Xu Si and Wang Kai to rebel, and welcomed Lu Bu as the shepherd of Yanzhou. (Lü Bu was a famous general at that time. He first served as a general under Dong Zhuo, and later made a plan with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo.)]

Seeing this, gasps of air-conditioning could be heard from all over the Douluo Continent at the same time. Even though they had roughly understood that human life in the world in the picture was worthless, now they saw that Cao Cao just ordered the massacre of Xuzhou people just to avenge his father. In the land of Zhouzhou, his cruel personality still makes everyone on Douluo Continent unable to help but feel cold-hearted!

"Hiss! This Cao Cao is too cruel, isn't he?!"

"Yes! To massacre an entire state because of one's own personal vendetta, this, this is simply a big deal on earth, even more terrifying than the evil soul masters in our world!"

"Such a villain! I was blind before and yet I worship him, bah!"

"'I would rather let the world down than let the world down me... I finally understand what it means! In the eyes of such a person, human life is probably nothing!"

"...For some reason, I always feel that Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou was not just to avenge his father as it appeared on the surface. After all, judging from Cao Cao's current performance, he definitely aspires to the emperor's position, and in the world of ordinary people, behind his back Wouldn’t it be contrary to our ambition to gain a reputation as a human being slaughtered?!”

"Xuzhou, aristocratic families, nobles...ah, another boring political fight, but it's a pity that countless civilians died because of it!"

……

Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City, under the open-air tent and in front of the herbal tea stall,
  The Ice Emperor looked at the massacre of ordinary people in Xuzhou by the soldiers on the light screen, and couldn't help sighing, "Tsk, tsk, if you want to say it, you humans are still ruthless. You are really cruel to attack the same kind of people!"

"I don't know how you guys like this can have the confidence to call us soul beasts beasts. Tsk tsk, at least you have never seen our soul beasts, no, even ordinary beasts, slaughter their own kind so crazily!"

In response to the Ice Emperor's ridicule, both Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan couldn't help but lower their heads. At this moment, even they couldn't help but think in their hearts. Human beings call themselves civilized creatures. Where is the civilization? ?
  As for Yu Bai, he simply ignored the Ice Emperor's staring eyes and drank tea calmly. However, at this moment, Yu Bai sighed secretly in his heart.

"No matter how history books and storybooks glorify war, war is war, and it has always been a manifestation of human beings' ugly desires!"

"Humans can be the kindest angels in the world; they can also be the most cruel evil ghosts in the world!"

"The complicated human heart is always the most terrifying thing! Even now, I have to shy away from it..."

Above the light curtain, the picture continues to play,

[At that time, only Juancheng and Dongjun's Fan and Dong'a counties were still under Cao Cao's control. They were held by Sima Xunyu and Shouzhangling Cheng Yu respectively, and Dongjun prefect Xiahou Dun. The situation was extremely critical. Cao Cao rushed back from Xuzhou and heard that Lu Bu was stationed in Puyang, so he marched and besieged Puyang. The two armies were in a stalemate for more than a hundred days, but a locust plague broke out. The two armies ceased fighting and Cao Cao's army returned to Juancheng. At this time, Cao Cao lost Yanzhou and ran out of military supplies. Yuan Shao sent people to persuade Cao Cao to surrender to him and let Cao Cao move his family to Ye County as hostages. Cao Cao originally planned to agree to Yuan Shao, but thanks to Cheng Yu's dissuasion, Cao Cao gave up the idea.

In the second year of Xingping (195), Cao Cao organized his army to fight Lu Bu again, and was defeated three times. He defeated Dingtao, Yongqiu, etc., and pacified Yanzhou. Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei. In July, due to the fierce fighting between Li Jue and Guo Si, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned eastward from Chang'an and issued an edict to all the princes to help the king.

In August of the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In the year of , Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty granted Cao Cao the title of Sili Xiaowei and recorded the affairs of the Shangshu. Gengshen moved the capital to Xuchang. In November of Bingxu, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty granted Cao Cao the title of Sikong, making him a general of military affairs on horseback and on horseback, and all officials listened to him.

In the first month of the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu and stationed his army in Feishui. Zhang Xiu surrendered and immediately rebelled. His eldest son Cao Ang, his nephew Cao Anmin, and the fierce general Dian Wei died in the battle. After that, Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu twice, but failed to defeat him completely. In September, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu eastward. Yuan Shu abandoned his army and fled to the Huaihe River, leaving four generals behind. 】

Looking at the scene on the screen, at night, the bearded Cao Cao, accompanied by his nephew Cao Anmin, walked towards Mrs. Zou's tent with an incomprehensible smile, everyone could not help but be shocked!

"Hiss! This Cao Cao...actually likes the widow?!"

"Fuck! Thief Cao!"

"So, this is the reason why people in that world call Cao Cao a thief?! He is a good wife?!"

"Tsk! This is just a prince, and his preferences are so bad. Isn't a young girl in her twenties sweet? What's so good about a wife!" "Hey! This statement is surprising. The young man has never done that kind of thing at first glance. He wants to You know, the young woman and married woman under the bed are the best in the world!"

"Fuck! Thief Cao is actually right next to me!"

"..."

For a moment, the topic of discussion went completely wrong!

[In April of the third year of Jian'an (198), Cao Cao sent an audience member Pei Mao and his general Duan Xuan to attack Li Jue and the Yi tribe. In September, Cao Cao marched eastward to Xuzhou and attacked Lu Bu, who had been his enemy for a long time. Under Cao's offensive, Lü Bu's army became disengaged. In December, Lü Bu's generals Wei Xu, Song Xian and others captured Chen Gong alive and surrendered to Cao Cao. Seeing that the situation was over, Lu Bu went down to the city and surrendered. Cao Cao executed Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others, surrendered Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao and Taishan heroes Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others, and initially took control of Xuzhou.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Cao Cao sent Shi Huan and Cao Ren to defeat Zhang Yang's old tribe Suigu, captured Hanoi County, and expanded his sphere of influence to the north of the Yellow River.

Battle of Guandu
  After the destruction of Mugu, in order to prepare for the subsequent war with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao made preparations and ordered Zang Ba and others who had potential influence in Qingzhou to invade Qingzhou, occupy Qi, Beihai and other places, and consolidate the right wing; he also ordered the general to forbid the troops from the Yellow River On the south bank, monitor Yuan Jun. Soon, Zhang Xiu followed the advice of counselor Jia Xu and surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed and worshiped Zhang Xiu as General Yangwu, which relieved his worries. In December of the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Cao Cao led his troops to garrison in Guandu, preparing to attack Yuan Shao.

After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei served as the shepherd of Xuzhou for a time. Later, Xuzhou was captured by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao believed that Liu Bei was a hero and named him Yuzhou Mu and Zuo General successively. Shortly after Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, Yuan Shu from Huainan was about to flee to Qingzhou to follow Yuan Shao. Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to intercept, but Yuan Shu was unable to go north and died of vomiting blood.

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Dong Cheng and others plotted to kill Cao Cao, but they were killed by Cao Cao. Liu Bei then attacked and killed Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and occupied Xuzhou.

In order to avoid being attacked one after another when fighting Yuan Shao in the future, Cao Cao decided to first eliminate Liu Bei, who had not yet established a stable foothold in Xuzhou. At that time, all the generals were afraid that Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to attack Xudu. Cao Cao was confident about this and said: "Liu Bei is a great man. If we don't attack now, there will be trouble later. Although Yuan Shao has great ambitions, he is late to see things happening, so he will not move." Marching forward, Liu Bei was defeated with lightning speed, and Liu Bei fled to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was the most powerful force in the north at that time, and also the most powerful enemy of Cao Cao's unification of the north. The Yuan family, starting from Yuan Shao's great-grandfather Yuan An, "occupied three public positions for four generations", and "their disciples and former officials are all over the world". It was already very powerful. Later, Yuan Shao acquired the four prefectures of Ji, Bing, You and Qing. The strength has increased greatly, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops. Yuan Shao, with his eldest son Yuan Tan, second son Yuan Xi, and nephew Gao Gan, guarded the three prefectures of Qing, You, and Bing respectively. With a solid rear and sufficient troops and supplies, they did not take Cao Cao seriously at all. He selected 100,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 war horses, determined to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Yuan Shao ordered General Yan Liang and others to march into Baima, and led his army to Tun Liyang to launch an attack on Cao Cao. Cao Cao's strength is much weaker than Yuan Shao. The area south of the river occupied by Cao Cao is small and the site of the Four Wars. It is dilapidated and has not been fully restored. The supplies are not as rich as Yuan Shao's. Cao Cao's military strength was also far inferior to that of Yuan Shao. His total military strength was probably only tens of thousands. According to the "Wudi Ji", "the number of troops deployed on the front line was less than ten thousand, and there were twelve or three wounded." Pei Songzhi believed that this number was inaccurate. Cao Cao's military strength would not be so small, but there was no doubt that Cao Cao's military strength was far inferior to Yuan Shao's.

Yuan Shao's army came to attack, and Xudu was shocked. Cao Cao comforted the generals and said: "I know that Shao is a man with great ambitions but little wisdom. He is tough but timid. He is restrained but lacks power. He has many soldiers but unclear divisions. His generals are arrogant but their orders are inconsistent. Although the land is vast, Although the food is plentiful, it is enough to serve me."

In February, Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang and others besieged Baima, kicking off the war. In April, Cao Cao personally led his troops northward to relieve the siege of Baima. He adopted counselor Xun You's plan and advanced to Yanjin. He made a gesture of crossing the river to attack Yuan's army, attracting Yuan's army to split his troops westward, and then suddenly turned and rushed towards Baima. Cao Cao's army suddenly attacked and Yuan's army was caught off guard. Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu. Yuan's army was defeated and the siege of Baima was broken. Cao Cao rescued the White Horse soldiers and civilians and retreated westward along the Yellow River. When Yuan Shao heard about it, he immediately ordered Wen Chou and Liu Bei to cross the river to pursue Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw his pursuers approaching, he ordered his sergeants to unsaddle and release their horses, and placed heavy baggage on the road. Yuan's army pursued them in large numbers, and they scrambled for supplies, causing the formation to become chaotic. Cao Cao led his only cavalry to suddenly charge out, defeating the pursuers and killing Wen Chou. Yuan Jun was shocked. Cao Cao won the first battle and took the initiative to withdraw his troops and continued to guard Guandu.

In August, Yuan Shao's army marched forward with battalions, dozens of miles from east to west, and established a camp based on sand piles, advancing towards Guandu. Cao Cao divided his troops to defend the camp, waiting for the opportunity to move. Yuan Jun launched a fierce attack on Cao Cao's camp. He first built high oars, raised earthen hills, and shot arrows into Cao Cao's camp from above. Then he dug tunnels in an attempt to attack Cao Cao's camp from underground. However, Cao Cao used trebuchets and trench digging to defeat Cao Cao's camp. The two armies attacked and defended for nearly two months. After a long war, Cao Cao was in an extremely difficult situation.

In October, Yuan Shao transported more than 10,000 carts of grain and grass from Hebei, and sent general Chunyu Qiong and others to guard Wuchao, which was forty miles away from Yuan Shao's camp. At this time, Yuan Shao's counselor Xu You felt remorseful because his plan to sneak attack Xudu to Yuan Shaoxian failed, and his family members in Hebei were caught breaking the law, so he came to Cao Cao and offered a plan to let Cao Cao attack Wuchao. Cao Cao was overjoyed and went out to meet him on bare feet. Afterwards, he personally led 5,000 elite infantry and cavalry. The troops had a number of ranks and horses were tied to their mouths. They changed into Yuan's military uniforms and attacked Wuchao from a small road at night.

When Cao Cao's army arrived at Wuchao, he ordered fires to be set on all sides. Yuan's army was in chaos, and Chunyu Qiong refused to defend the camp. Yuan Shao heard about it and hurriedly sent troops to rescue. Cao Cao saw on the left and right, "The thieves are approaching, please divide your troops to resist them." Cao Cao was furious and said, "The thieves are behind you, it's Bai!" The soldiers fought desperately, so they defeated Yuan's army and killed Chunyu Qiong and others. Burn all their food and grass.

When Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao was attacking Wuchao, he thought that this was a good opportunity to break Cao Cao's camp, so he sent few reinforcements and besieged Cao Cao's camp with heavy troops. Since Cao Cao had reserved a large number of troops, and Cao Cao's camp had not been broken, news of Wuchao's defeat had already been received. Generals Zhang He, Gao Lan and others led their troops to surrender to Cao Cao, and Yuan's army collapsed. Yuan Shao abandoned his army and fled back to the north of the Yellow River.

Cao's army won a complete victory, beheading more than 70,000 soldiers, and obtained all the valuable books and treasures of Yuan's army. Cao Cao counted Yuan Shao's letters and found out that his subordinates were colluding with Yuan Shao. He burned them all and said: "When Shao is strong, I can't protect myself alone, let alone everyone!"

In terms of objective conditions, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage, but because he could correctly analyze the objective conditions and was good at listening to the correct opinions of others, he was able to exploit his strengths and avoid weaknesses, adopt correct strategies and tactics, and transform the war in his favor. Through his own subjective efforts, , and finally won. In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated his greatest enemy Yuan Shao, and it was inevitable that he would unify the north. 】

A battle in Guandu, everyone in Douluo Continent was shocked and shocked. They truly understood what war is, what tactics are, and what cunning and treacherous plots are!
  Not counting the food, grass and baggage troops, 20,000 people versus 110,000 people. What a terrifying disparity in numbers? !
  However, under such circumstances, watching Cao Cao first command his 20,000 troops, coupled with the thorough application of the right time and place and the blessing of the so-called 'military formation', he was able to directly resist his opponent Eleven Wan Dajun took three to four months, and then relied on the power of people and people to decisively and boldly make a desperate move to win the final battle!

With only 20,000 people, they forcibly defeated an army of 110,000 people. This mythical achievement was actually performed in front of the people of Douluo Continent. For a moment, everyone felt their scalps numb and dared not breathe!
  "This is...the real art of war!"

In the Sun and Moon Empire, Prince Xu Tianran looked at the scene of the Battle of Guandu above the light screen, couldn't help but slap his hands on the wheelchair, and exclaimed with excitement on his face,

"This is war... This is the war that I hope for in my ideal life!"
