Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Cao Cao calmed down, thought about it carefully, and found that what Guo Jia said was right.

Jizhou is a big county in the world, and it has been ruled by Yuan Shao for many years. Its power is deeply entrenched. Even if you attack Yecheng by yourself, it will take a lot of time to quickly occupy Jizhou.

"Feng Xiao, do you have a trick to teach me?" After thinking about it, Cao Cao felt that it would not be so easy for him to capture Jizhou, but he didn't want to lose the meat in front of him.

Guo Jia saw what was going on in Cao Cao's mind, thought for a while, then smiled and said, "My lord, Yuan and Liu will make the best of their strengths in this battle, and they will not stop fighting regardless of the outcome. There are no more than two outcomes in this battle. First, Yuan Shao wins; second, Liu Zhang wins!"

"In Feng Xiao's opinion, who is more likely to win?" Cao Cao asked.

"Whoever wins is the same, they will all become the main enemy," Guo Jia looked at the crowd and talked freely. "I believe that if Yuan Shao wins, our army should immediately cross the river and attack Yecheng to prevent Yuan Shao from taking Bingzhou; if Liu Zhang wins, our army should cross the river and attack Hanoi County, then go west and attack Hedong County, threatening Liu Zhang's rear , preventing him from advancing further and attacking Jizhou."

"What does Wen Ruo think?" Cao Cao didn't make a decision right away, but looked at Xun Yu. Although Xun Yu was more inclined to internal affairs, Cao Cao still attached great importance to him.

"I think Guo Fengxiao's words are very good, and my lord should accept them!" Xun Yu thought for a while and immediately replied.

"Okay, order Xia Houyuan to lead [-] troops and station them in Chenliu. The rest of the troops are ready, and we are ready to cross the river at any time~"

"No~!" The generals took orders.

Cao Cao has more than [-] soldiers and horses, but he has to guard the four directions. If there are too many troops in Chenliu, Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao will definitely be alerted in advance.

Not to mention Cao Cao's side, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Kong Rong of Qingzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu of Huainan and other minor princes were all paying attention to this battle.

Everywhere, heroes from all over the world are also paying attention to Bingzhou. Many talents and powerful people are watching the result of this war, and they will also start to enter the stage of history.

At this moment, Sun Ce is still under Yuan Shu's command, and Liu Bei is still talking with Kong Rong in Beihai.

The weather was not good, and shortly after Liu Zhang's army arrived in Taiyuan County, it rained heavily.

It rained heavily for three consecutive days, and the roads were slippery, which was not conducive to marching, but also not conducive to fighting. Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao's army stayed in the camp with a tacit understanding, and the two sides continued a short-term peace.

Three days later, the sun came out and the water on the road began to evaporate. Liu Zhang sent a large number of scouts to spy on Yuan Shao's deployment of troops.

The rivers and mountains outside and inside the state are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The land is barren and mountainous, and it is not good at producing grain. However, its importance is self-evident.

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Liu Zhang, as long as they win Bingzhou, they will form an overwhelming advantage over the other party in terms of geographical advantages.

Among them, the Taiyuan Basin is the only plain in Bingzhou. Six layers of grain and grass in the nine counties of Bingzhou come from Taiyuan County.

Knowing that the opponent this time was Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He not only brought in elite soldiers from the rear, but also called in counselors and generals.

In the rear, food, grass and ordnance were continuously transported by civilian husbands.

Of Liu Zhang's 15 troops, only 5000 were placed in Jinyang City, and the rest were placed in Daling and Pingtao.

After the water in the local area dried up, he continued to mobilize troops and set up dozens of camps near Jinyang, connecting them together.

When Yuan Shao learned that Liu Zhang's main force was coming, he did not dare to attack Jinyang easily.

Tian Fengjushou, his advisor, was a resourceful man. He knew that if Liu Zhang's main force was not defeated, attacking Jinyang Jiancheng would only consume his own troops.

Therefore, although the two armies are confronting each other, they are actually looking for opportunities to fight.

In Liu Zhang's camp, Fazheng, Liu Ye and other advisers and generals gathered in the commander's tent to discuss how to defeat the enemy.

Liu Ye said: "My lord, the so-called attack on the army is the first to attack the enemy, and then the next to attack the city. Our 15 army stationed in Taiyuan, and we need countless food and grass every day. The long-term confrontation is not good for our army. Ruo Fajiao!"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he immediately asked, "How do you cut off Jiaojiao? Ziyang will tell you quickly!"

Liu Ye walked to the map hanging on the side, and found that it was a map around Taiyuan, so he said to Liu Zhang, "My lord, please bring me the map of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty!"

"Come here, get the map of the Great Han!" Liu Zhang shouted immediately.

Soon, two soldiers brought the map of the big man.

The two of them carefully spread the map of the big man in the center of the handsome tent. The map is made of leather and is very large.

Everyone gathered around, and Liu Ye pointed to the map of the big man. "My lord, please take a look."

"The west of Hangu Pass belongs to our army. As long as Xichuan, Wuguan and Tongguan are guarded, the princes of Shandong will not be able to enter. The princes bordering our army include Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Zhangxiu of Nanyang, Li Jue and Guo Si of Luoyang, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou. Yuan Shao in Jizhou, among them Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and Li Jue Guo Si are slaves who guard the house and have no enterprising heart. However, Cao Cao in Yanzhou has a lot of ambition. Look at our army fighting Yuan Shao. But Yuan Shao is closer to Cao Cao, if you can persuade Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao's city of Ye, then Yuan Shao will retreat."

"Wonderful!" Liu Zhang clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "When Yuan Shao's army retreats, I will follow and pursue, and I will surely defeat Yuan Shao!"

"Your lord is wise, you can get it right!" Liu Ye patted Liu Zhang's flattery indiscriminately.

Although Liu Zhang is a time traveler, he was very happy to hear it.

"Okay, let's send people to Cao Cao and tell Cao Cao to attack Yecheng. This is not enough. Then send people to Qingzhou to persuade the governor of Qingzhou to attack Yuan Tan."

Soon, the eloquent, under the escort of cavalry, left Taiyuan.

In the days that followed, Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao successively dispatched small groups of troops to harass each other, causing casualties to each other.

Among them, Ma Chao led the Qiang cavalry to attack many times, beheading hundreds of Yuan Shao soldiers, and was promoted by Liu Zhang to be a military lord, in charge of [-] cavalry.

Ma Chao lived up to expectations and continued to attack, beheading several generals of the enemy army.

However, although the two sides fought each other again and again, they were very cautious, and there was no large-scale attack.

They are still waiting for the opportunity.

Yanzhou, Chenliu Commandery, and Cao Cao quietly moved the government offices here temporarily, just to keep an eye on Liu Yuan's battlefield.

He suddenly heard that there were great changes in Luoyang, that Li Jue and Guo Si fought against each other, and the rest of the Xiliang princes were dissatisfied with the long-term struggle between the two of them, and even brought Emperor Han to leave Luoyang and come to Hulao Pass.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately summoned Cao Ren. He ordered Cao Ren to take 2 cavalry to meet the emperor at Hulao Pass first, and then he reorganized his troops and horses, and set off with [-] people a day later.

Cao Ren set out from Chenliu with [-] cavalry and arrived at Hulao Pass soon after.

While in Luoyang, Li Jue and Guo Si discovered that the emperor was missing, so they immediately gave up fighting, and immediately sent troops to the east to pursue the emperor, and they caught up with the emperor just before Hulao Pass.

There were few soldiers around the emperor, and they were killed by the pursuers sent by Li Jue and Guo Si.
