Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 792 New Situation in Luoyang Battlefield

Guo Jia's matter was settled in this way, and Zhu Wei didn't waste much time on him, so he asked Guo Jia to bring two urns of wine and let Guo Jia go down first.

Originally Zhu Wei did have some expectations for Guo Jia, but after seeing Guo Jia's character attributes, Zhu Wei was actually a little relieved.

"Guo Jia, Cao Cao's subordinate, age 30, loyalty 100, official term 3 years, soldier 0, physical strength 55, intelligence 80, politics 97, force 36, charisma 82, land finger 32, water finger 6, training 0, morale 0. "(This is the character attribute in the Three Kingdoms game)
Apparently many people ignored Cao Cao's own abilities, but they mistakenly overestimated Guo Jia, Cao Cao's first counselor. In fact, he was very talented in politics, but his other abilities were average.

It's no wonder that Guo Jia couldn't stand out on Yuan Shao's side at the beginning. In terms of intelligence, Guo Jia really couldn't compare with Jushou and Tian Feng. It can also be stronger than Guo Jia in intelligence.

However, Guo Jia's political ability was naturally useless before he was reused by Yuan Shao, so Guo Jia was not valued by Yuan Shao.

Of course, when Guo Jia is paired with Cao Cao, he will be able to give Cao Cao the key points from a political point of view, and it will also allow Guo Jia's political talent to be brought into play, so Guo Jia is Cao Cao's number one adviser, Not bad at all.

But now Zhu Wei still doesn't urgently need a political expert like Guo Jia, so for Zhu Wei, Guo Jia is also a dispensable type of talent, just like Guo Jia's position in Yuan Shao's place is almost the same. .

What's more, Guo Jia's loyalty to Cao Cao is also one hundred. Naturally, such a character will not easily switch to others. Since Zhu Wei can't kill Guo Jia immediately, he can only be imprisoned under house arrest to show Zhu Wei's respect for talents. .

In this way, Guo Jia and Zhong Yao, Wu Xi, and Duan Yan, who were captured before, will all be sent to Xiangyang for custody. With Wang Yuyan sitting in Xiangyang, Cao Cao wants to secretly rescue Guo Jia, but it may be difficult for him.

Afterwards, Zhu Wei met several captured generals of the Cao army. Among them, the injured Zhu Zan was the one who had the general-level attributes. Li Dian and Le Jin, as well as Lu Chang, Du Xi, Li Tong, and Cao Chun, who were recognized by the Three Kingdoms game system as having ordinary general backgrounds.

It's just that they are obviously different from the previous Xu Huang and Xu Shang. They are either the confidant generals who started with Cao Cao, or the generals who were promoted by Cao Cao from the bottom. They have followed Cao Cao for many years, so Zhu Wei checked through the Three Kingdoms game system Later, it was discovered that their loyalty to Cao Cao was also above [-], so none of them had the intention of surrendering immediately.

Naturally, Zhu Wei couldn't force them to do anything. In the end, Zhu Wei beheaded Cao Chun, a general of the Cao clan, and the others would also be sent to Xiangyang to be imprisoned for the time being.

Of course, on the surface, Zhu Wei used the excuse that Cao Cao coerced the emperor to falsely order the world. Determined to kill Cao Chun.

As for the other ordinary generals under Cao Cao's account, Zhu Wei only convicted them of the crime of affiliation for the time being, so he did not directly condemn them to death.

Although Zhu Wei felt that it would be difficult for people like Li Dian and Le Jin who started their careers with Cao Cao to change their minds and surrender, Zhu Wei still didn't want to kill them all.

Perhaps it was also this time that Zhu Weijun did not have much loss in the victory against Cao Jun, so Zhu Wei didn't have to kill too many people to appease the army and sacrifice the flag.

In addition, Cao Ren's coffin still could not be taken back by Cao Jun, so Zhu Wei simply sent the body of Cao Chun, Cao Ren's younger brother, to Yingchuan along with Cao Ren's body.

In this way, Zhu Wei basically solved the post-war trivial matters for Cao Jun in Liang County, and sent Cao Jun's captured civil and military officials and ordinary soldiers to Xiangyang for custody, control, and reorganization, and he brought the main force Go back to Luoyang from Guangcheng Pass.

"On August 199, [-] AD, Zhu Wei defeated Cao Cao in the south of Luoyang. So far, the alliance of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to attack Zhu Wei collapsed."

Yuan Shao, who was on the north bank of the Yellow River, was also quite shocked when he received the news. Originally, although Yuan Shao also had the idea of ​​watching Cao Cao and Zhu Wei confront each other, he didn't want it to be a one-sided situation.

Now Cao Cao's [-] main force elites were annihilated by Zhu Wei's ambush in the south of Luoyang. Cao Cao no longer had the strength to join forces with Yuan Shao to attack Zhu Wei, and only Yuan Shao and Zhu Wei were left to compete in Luoyang.

This inevitably made Yuan Shao feel a little tricky after looking at the overall situation.

After all, Zhu Wei, who owns the land in the south, is not so disadvantaged in terms of territory and power compared to Yuan Shao, who controls the four northern states. Yuan Shao has also found out that there are a large number of Zhu Wei's reinforcements gathered here in Luoyang. The total strength of Zhu Weijun is probably no less than Yuan Shao's current strength.

Under many considerations, Yuan Shao inevitably discussed with his military advisors about the idea of ​​withdrawing troops.

After all, Yuan Shao is now attacking and Zhu Wei is defending, so Zhu Wei has a geographical advantage in defense, and Yuan Shao needs to spend a lot of troops to break through Zhu Weijun's defense line, but even if he breaks through this defense line, then in the follow-up battle with Zhu Weijun in Luoyang, Yuan Shao Can the army still maintain its superiority in strength?
If Yuan Shaojun had no advantage in military strength, how could he compete with the elite and brave Zhu Weijun?

Coupled with the fact that there is no longer Cao Cao to support him, Yuan Shao feels that the battle of Luoyang has lost its meaning, and if he continues to fight, it will only waste his troops in vain.

But in the end, both Jushou and Tian Feng urged Yuan Shao not to retreat. Once he retreated, the general situation would be over, and it would only make Zhu Wei bigger in the Central Plains. Then when Zhu Wei went to the north, Yuan Shao might not be able to do what he is doing now. In this way, there can still be a confrontation with Zhu Wei, and at that time, he can only defeat the world by chance.

Yuan Shao felt that it made sense when he heard the words. In fact, Ju Shou had mentioned this reason many times before he sent troops south this time.

So Yuan Shao had no choice but to let go of the idea of ​​retreating, but now how to continue the battle of Luoyang, Yuan Shao is still a little embarrassed, how to cross the natural danger of the Yellow River, if he turns to attack Hulao Pass, can he conquer the whole world? What about danger?

In fact, before, Yuan Shao urged Cao Cao to contribute when it was difficult to make progress in the war for a while, but now everything can only be relied on by Yuan Shao himself, and Yuan Shao is in a dilemma again how to continue the war.

To be honest, Yuan Shao has collected a lot of ships needed to cross the Yellow River. In fact, Yuan Shao can already start the battle of crossing the river.

However, Yuan Shao had already lost [-] to [-] troops in order to attack Zhu Weijun's camp on the north bank of the Yellow River before. Now, facing the tight defense of Zhu Weijun on the south bank of the Yellow River, how many troops would he have to lose in such a battle across the river to succeed?
Just like what Yuan Shao was worried about before, if he lost too much in the battle of crossing the river, even if he crossed the Yellow River, his troops might not be able to compete with Zhu Weijun's troops.

This kind of scruples made Yuan Shao hesitate again, so the battle on the Yellow River continued to be delayed.

Maybe it was because Zhu Wei had increased his troops too much in Luoyang, but Yuan Shao also recruited troops from the north for reinforcements during this period. He also brought in nearly [-] troops, and at the same time he also called in some generals to command the troops.

In this way, on both sides of the Yellow River north of Luoyang, Zhu Weijun and Yuan Shaojun basically gathered nearly 20 troops...
