In the battle at Guandu, the Wei army has been showing weakness. From the beginning of the battle of the white horse in Liyang, to the subsequent retreat in Yanjin, and finally even Guandu gave up. front.

Now that the layout has been completely completed, it's time for the final battle. (To be continued.)

[Text Chapter 566: The Battle of Guandu Begins]

Three days later, Cao Zhen and Cao Pi successfully brought Xu You back from the front line at Guandu.

Xu You went to meet Yuan Shao in person when he received the change in Yecheng, and angrily reprimanded him, but Yuan Shao used dragging tactics to him, which made him disheartened, and he surrendered to Wei State, which became a matter of smooth sailing. .

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was overjoyed. In order to show the sincerity of Wei Guo, he went out of the camp barefoot, walked out of the camp gate on the thin stone road, and greeted Xu You.

Seeing this scene, Xu You was greatly moved.

The meeting between the two was very pleasant, and there was even a hint of resentment for seeing each other late. After a conversation, the two chatted very happily, and Xu You was sincere and surrendered to Wei Guo.

After the welcome banquet, Xu You presented a certificate of nomination in order to give himself some value in joining the Wei State. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin State took Guandu as the center, and opened up a camp that was tens of miles long. The detailed troop deployment above has been drawn into a detailed sketch by Xu You.

This became a certificate of his surrender to Wei.

When Cao Cao got this picture, he felt an uncontrollable joy in his heart.

This not only got the deployment of Jin's troops, but also got the news that I wanted to get the most, the location of the Jin army's granary, Wuchao!

After Cao Cao got this troop layout plan, he acted vigorously and immediately summoned all the generals and counselors above the general level to hold a pre-war meeting before the decisive battle.

"Our first step is to burn the food and grass stored by Wuchao's hundreds of thousands of Jin troops!" In the spacious tent, under the light of oil lamps, all the generals and counselors gathered around Cao Cao, all in unison. Surrounded by a huge sand table.

"It's difficult!"

Hearing this, all the generals looked at the terrain on the sand table one by one, and their faces became serious.

"Wuchao has a special geographical location. If you want to surprise Wuchao, you have to open a gap in the Guandu camp!" General Xia Houyuan said in a low voice.

"This is Fengqiu. If we want to break through Wuchao, we must pass Fengqiu. It is the first pass we have to cross!"

Guo Jia squinted his eyes, shook the feather fan in his hand, stared intently at the terrain of Fengqiu on the sand table, and said: "The Jin army is here. At least nearly [-] elites have been deployed, and relying on the strength of this city, If we don't have [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to attack, it is impossible for us not to win!"

"Moreover, if we launch a strong attack on Fengqiu City, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Jin army!" Cheng Yu stood up and added Guo Jia's words: "Tian Feng and others are not foolish people. With vigilance, we will not be able to achieve the effect of raiding Wuchao!"

"Even if we pass through Fengqiu by chance, it's still Jishui and Pushui, the two big rivers are like natural barriers, defending the terrain of Wuchao!" Xun You pointed to the thick sky blue line on the sand table for two days, slightly confused Scratching his head, he sighed.Said: "The Jin army chose Wuchao as the granary. I have to say, I have to say, this is a good move!"

"The location of this granary was chosen by Tian Feng!"

Standing next to Cao Cao, Xu You looked enviously at the counselors of Wei State talking freely without any scruples. This is an atmosphere that Jin State does not have.

Whether it is the territory, national strength, population, talents, or generals of Jin State.The strength of the army is actually higher than that of the Wei State, but they have lost a sense of unity by the Wei State.

Yuan Shao, king of Jin, was born in a family with good manners.He talked about the rules, and he was eager to learn about the emperor's tactics when he was young, so he didn't want the people under his command to be twisted together, but to use all means to make them confront each other, which made him feel at ease.

His method of maintaining balance is indeed superb.However, under his means, the people under his command were more cautious and less aggressive, so the entire Jin Dynasty court seemed a bit stagnant.

The most important thing is that because of Yuan Shao's cleverness, several outstanding advisers under his command gradually changed from maintaining the balance of opposition to a kind of hostility towards confrontation.

If there is anything Yuan Shao is inferior to Cao Cao, I am afraid there is only one, and he indulges in fighting in the nest.

It was because of his connivance that the several counselors under his command were fighting each other. A few years ago, Xu You was in the court, under the watchful eyes of everyone, impeached the judge, and the judge also moved Xu You's family at this time.

This made Xu You surrender to Wei Guo.

A lot of mistakes were made, and Xu You surrendered to Wei State, which brought the distribution map of the Jin army's forces, and also brought Wuchao, a flaw in the layout of the Jin State's camp.

With this alone, the balance of Wei and Jin began to tilt.

"Tian Feng thought that Wei's retreat was a little unreasonable. It was too fast from Baima to Yanjin, so he tried to advise Yuan Shao to set up camp in Yanjin, but Yuan Shao thought that it would be very difficult for Wei's army to retreat That's normal, so I led my troops south to Guandu directly!"

Xu You was not timid in the eyes of the generals of the Wei army, and continued to talk eloquently, "In the end, Tian Feng's remonstrance failed, so he suggested again that the army's granary be placed behind Guandu, Wuchao!"

"Tian Yuanhao is really smart!"

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia heard the words, they looked at each other, Guo Jia sighed and said: "If Yuan Shao is willing to listen to Tian Yuanhao's advice, I am afraid that even if we win this battle, it will take at least three to five years!"

It took them a long time to set up the battlefield at Guandu.

If the Jin army had listened to Tian Feng's advice and regarded Yanjin as a battlefield, even if they lost to the Wei army, they could withdraw their troops calmly. Already established in an invincible position.

So this battle can only be slowly twisted.

However, if the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two armies is at Guandu, then if the Jin army is defeated and wants to retreat northward, the natural danger of the Yellow River will become a place for them to bury themselves.

A completely different effect.

"Such good words, but don't know how to accept them, Yuan Shao, if he is undefeated, it would be too much for heaven!"

Cao Cao's eyes flickered with sarcasm, and after a cold snort, he swept his eyes across the crowd and asked, "You said, how will Gudang break the black nest? Give Yuan Shao a blow!"

He is more confident about this battle.

"The black nest?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the topography of the Wuchao on the sand table, and one by one began to meditate. If they want to break the Wuchao, there are too many places to cross, and if they are not careful, they will all come to nothing.

"Detour!"

A general of the Wei State stood up, pointed to a route on the sand table, and suggested in a low voice: "The tiger and leopard cavalry can only make a surprise attack, travel thirty miles to the east and thirty miles to the north. Then go around and bypass Junyi and Feng. Qiu, hit it from the east side!"

"no!"

Some people shook their heads and objected, saying: "The Jin army are not stupid. Moreover, their scouts are not weak. The cavalry moves very fast. If they find out, our intentions will come to nothing. The result is exposed under their noses. I am afraid that it will not be a surprise attack, and all the tiger and leopard riders may fall into the trap!"

"Wen Yuan, what do you think?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally took a look at the silent general Zhang Liao.

Since Zhang Liao surrendered, he has been guarding Jiujiang for him, but Cao Cao has been watching his commanding ability and commanding ability in on-the-spot battles.

"Your Majesty, in the "36 Strategies" written by the State of Wu, there is one strategy for winning a battle. In order to deceive the world, there is another strategy to make a fool of yourself!"

Zhang Liao stood up, his eyes were cold, his eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and said, "Now that the Wei and Jin armies are facing each other, everyone knows that the decisive battle is imminent. At this time, if the Wei army takes the lead in launching the final decisive battle, there will be no trouble Moreover, Yuan Shao will definitely fight. When he focuses on the decisive battle on the front line, his attention to Wuchao is relatively lower. With the two sides attacking in an all-round way, if the Wei army storms Fengqiu. Of course, we will sway and kill , as long as the speed is fast enough, even if they react, so what?"

"Speak in detail!" Cao Cao's eyes were clear and bright.

"My lord, what I mean is that from the beginning of the fierce battle, we had to show weakness. On the frontal battlefield, Guandu, Zhongmu, Jiluoshan... After a day of counterattack, they immediately turned to defense and supported for more than three days. Then With a surprise attack by tiger and leopard cavalry, the Wuchao will be destroyed, and once the Wuchao is lost, the Jin army will surely lose its morale, and we will take the opportunity to counterattack!"

Zhang Liao spoke roughly along the sand table, and then said confidently, firmly, "Wei Guo will win the battle of Guandu!"

"it is good!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face was overjoyed, his eyes sparkled brightly, and he said loudly: "Wenyuan, where the Guandu South Camp is located, is facing the Jin army head-on, and the [-] elite main force will be handed over to you today. How dare you Lead?"
