Chapter 115 The Battle of Guandu?
Chapter 115 Battle of Guandu?
Spring has just begun, and even inside the palace, there is no beautiful scenery - dry branches that have not sprouted new buds, a bare ground with no tender grass, and the snow has just melted, making the ground look quite muddy, so this
It’s not the right time to wander around and enjoy the scenery. (,《》)
However, this period of time when the snow has just melted has a good opening. As soon as you inhale, the fragrance of the earth will rush into your lungs, and it will also bring a touch of coolness, which is much more comfortable than the knife-like cold in the severe winter.
"Is the Battle of Guandu about to begin?"
Huang Yueying, who was holding a cup and drinking tea by herself, had an expression and posture of a master, but paired with her seven-year-old appearance and body shape, it looked funny no matter how she looked.
Knowing that the imperial court would completely break up with Yuan Shao of Hebei this year and start a war, Huang Yueying combined her previous knowledge and asked a few questions: "Before fighting Yuan Shao, don't we have to deal with Yuan Shu first?"
Liu Xuan put down the tea cup in his hand, then looked like he was thinking, and finally realized: "I always feel that I have forgotten something. It turns out that Yuan Shu hasn't cleaned it up yet..."
"Hey, is this really okay?" Huang Yueying always felt that her choice seemed a bit unreliable. At least the 'senior' in front of her didn't look like such a reliable person.
In addition to this, she is also very curious about the identity of the immortal Liu Xuan - from the previous conversations, Huang Yueying can be 100% sure that this person is from the same era as herself. Even if there is a difference, the difference is only a few years.
Therefore, there should be no difference between the two people's previous living environments.
But... were there really gods in the world she lived in before? This is simply unimaginable.
"Maybe that's not the case? Maybe he became an immortal after traveling through time?"
She wanted to ask Liu Xuan what the truth was, but she didn't dare to speak. To put it bluntly, she and Liu Xuan had just met. Even though they had similar identities, they were still just unfamiliar strangers, even though Liu Xuan had already said:
You are mine now.
As for Yuan Shu's question... the two of them just mentioned it and didn't say anything more.
In fact, the imperial court had discussed the issue of Yuan Shu several times. At the beginning, most people believed that before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, it was best to clear away some hidden dangers around him.
These hidden dangers are the surrounding forces - including Tianshi Dao in Xichuan, Zhang Ji and others in northern Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu in Nanyang.
Sun Ce in Jiangdong cannot be ignored either, but Liu Xuan received news that there was some internal turmoil in Jiangdong. It was impossible for Sun Ce to launch a war externally at this time. He needed to stabilize his own internal affairs first before he could better display his fists.
In fact, the real threat to the imperial court was Tianshi Dao. However, although Liu Zhang was not as capable as his father, he still had a group of civil and military assistants around him, so he relied on several dangers to resist the attack of Tianshi Dao. Therefore, Tianshi Dao temporarily
He had no energy to visit the north, which also gave Liu Xuan the opportunity to solve the problem in the north as soon as possible.
Zhang Ji and Yuan Shu in the north of Jingzhou are the real threats. However, after Zhang Ji became a force on his own, several foreign military operations suffered setbacks. The current situation of these Dong Zhuo's old generals is not very good. Maybe they are thinking about something.
Which faction should you defect to?
So after all the calculations, only Yuan Shu needs to be careful. Besides, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are still brothers. No one can guarantee that Yuan Shu will not suddenly do this behind his back when fighting Yuan Shao here.
Moreover, the geographical location of Nanyang is very special. It is adjacent to Sili to the north, Yuzhou to the east, and Yanzhou to the northeast. It happens to be the waist and abdomen of the current imperial power. If this position is attacked, can you imagine how much impact it will have?
If one is not careful, the court's territory may be separated by Yuan Shu, and then as long as the imperial army is blocked, the court can be driven back to the northwest, and he will slowly encroach on Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places.
Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao do not get along, at this time it is no longer a question of whether the brothers are working together, but whether Yuan Shu will give up such a good opportunity and resist the huge temptation: Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou.
, if he swallows it in one breath, he will be able to dominate the area south of the Yellow River and become a great prince to compete with Yuan Shao.
No matter how you look at it, Yuan Shu will not give up such an opportunity, but in reality? Only Liu Xuan and some generals know that Liu Xuan is eager for Yuan Shu to take action.
Even though Liu Xuan deployed all his troops and horses on Yuan Shao's side, in fact the defenses everywhere were not weakened because of this - otherwise the imperial court would not have mobilized a mere 100,000 forbidden troops.
To deal with Yuan Shu, a few can only have 10,000 to 20,000 forbidden troops. Perhaps this number is far different from the 200,000 troops under Yuan Shu's account, but we must take into account the combat power of the soldiers on both sides, the supply of logistical supplies, and the quality of the generals.
, even if Yuan Shu's troops were doubled, he would still be unable to defeat the imperial troops.
More importantly, because Liu Xuan's appearance made the court's prestige rise instead of fall, Yuan Shu did not get the imperial seal from Sun Ce - the seal was always in the hands of the Sun family, and Sun Ce was the Yangzhou Mu who was canonized by the court, not the imperial seal.
Jiangdong was conquered by borrowing troops from Yuan Shu.
Therefore, Yuan Shu did not act to proclaim himself emperor, so that he would not be attacked by various princes. At the same time, Yuan Shu did not expand as much as Yuan Shao did, giving the court an excuse to deal with it. Therefore, Liu Xuan wanted to attack Yuan Shu and needed an excuse.
Now, he took the initiative to send his excuse to Yuan Shu. As long as he couldn't help but open his mouth and take a bite, he would be struck by the imperial court like thunder.
It seemed that there was no need to tell Huang Yueying about these things, so Liu Xuan just laughed and fooled him. In fact, not only Huang Yueying didn't know, but Cai Yan, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi didn't know this either.
As for the generals to deal with Yuan Shu? Liu Xuan still has two generals, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, who have not been used. He even did not go to the front line in person. Instead, he sat in the capital just waiting to deal with Yuan Shu! Once Yuan Shu's thorn is dealt with, then he
He will immediately go to the Hebei front line to witness Yuan Shao's demise in person.
After talking for a while, the topic turned to cultivation. Huang Yueying had already 'seen' all the cultivation techniques and officially started practicing the basic parts.
After learning about this set of techniques and the supporting techniques, she was ridiculed and despised. However, Huang Yueying despised and despised. She also loved these skills very much, and even said: "When I grow up, I will also experience
A real lawn mower is unparalleled..."
However, she expressed dissatisfaction with whether to use a long sword or a long bow.
When Liu Xuan found out, he casually said: "Why don't you just use a goose feather fan?"
"Huh? What a great idea!"
"..."
"Use your own feather fan so that Zhuge Liang has no fan to use!"
Shaking his head and looking at Huang Yueying who had fallen into his own delusion, Liu Xuan did not bother him, but started practicing on his own.
Now his cultivation has been slowly increasing, and the second golden dragon has been conceived. This speed is much faster than he expected. However, reaching the peak cannot be achieved in a moment. Fortunately, he does not
If you are in a hurry, just practice first.
As time goes by, as the weather gradually gets warmer, the atmosphere on both sides of the Yellow River becomes more and more serious. Flags on both sides of the river can often be seen fluttering and moving, and both sides are making final deployments of troops.
As the governor of Pingbei personally appointed by the emperor, Cao Cao has also arrived here, standing on a high place and looking into the distance - in fact, he can't see anything. Even Cao Cao's trained body cannot clearly see the enemy from such a distance.
The army camp is in the main camp, so I mostly stand at a high place to observe how the arrangements on my side are going.
"How are Yun Chang's preparations going?"
"General Guan said that as soon as the commander gives the order, the trapped camp can set off immediately!"
At this time, the trapped camp did not even take off their armor when sleeping, ensuring that they could fight at any time. Gao Shun also kept running around the army to make final inspections.
Even Guan Yu himself was supervising back and forth during this period - even though Guan Yu sounded so arrogant, when it came to doing things, Guan Yu was not a careless person.
"When will the governor prepare to start the war?"
As soon as Cao Cao returned to his tent, Xia Houyuan was the first to ask. He had been working outside Xiegu for several years, and he almost faded away.
Although he was given the opportunity to practice hard and improve his cultivation, what kind of general is he if he doesn't go into battle? Even his general position he felt was unjust and unjust, so in this battle, he was the most important
expect.
He even found Cao Cao, who was considered his brother, early on, hoping to let him take the lead. Unfortunately, Guan Yu took the lead and was really upset.
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan and said, "You don't have to rush for a good moment. This battle is going to be fought. Yuan Shao is not an opponent who can be defeated so easily. What's more, His Majesty once said that Yuan Shao has a well-known immortal in his army to help him.
Maybe there will be a lot of trouble in this battle."
"No matter who the immortal is, if you dare to come out, I will chop him down without fail!"
Zhang Fei was also in the tent at this time. Now his class was not low, so his position in the tent was quite high, and next to him was Huang Zhong.
Seeing Zhang Fei's impatience, he comforted him with a few words: "Yide doesn't have to be like this. As long as that immortal stays in Yuan Shao's army, we will meet him sooner or later!"
I don't know what happened, but after Huang Zhong came to Chang'an, he kept getting closer to Liu Bei and his gang. Liu Xuan even wondered whether his generals would be completely divided into two factions in the future.
Already?
Fortunately, even if these generals can't stand each other, they all recognize each other's abilities, so they won't hold each other back when fighting. Otherwise, Liu Xuan would have to think about the relationship between these generals every time he goes to war. That would be
A lot of trouble.
Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen, and Cao Cao also admired these people very much. This time he was able to put these people under his command and dispatch, and he was extremely satisfied. He only felt that there were so many outstanding generals, and he was still very satisfied.
If you can't win this battle, you should go back to farming.
"There is no need to delay any more, just ask Yunchang to send troops tonight!"
After receiving the order, all the generals happily went down to do their own things, but Cao Cao immediately took out two jade talismans. After using his skills, he threw the jade talismans. Two rays of light flashed instantly, and the jade talismans disappeared.
"The Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Yulin Cavalry need to make some moves!"
