Rebirth of the Southern Barbarian Meng Huo

In August of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao once again raised troops in Xudu to destroy Cao Cao and Meng Huo.This time Yuan Shao mobilized all his elites and integrated an army of 11, of which 3 formed three second-level golden armor battle formations, with Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang as generals respectively. However, Yuan Shao knew that Meng Huo's army was mysteriously disappearing. He didn't dare to leave his two sons behind, and they all went to the battlefield. Moreover, Yuan Shao's two sons were also good at it. They had practiced the golden armor technique since they were young, and combined with the golden armor battle formation, they could form a second-level golden armor battle formation.

In the second-order battle formation alone, Yuan Shao was so powerful that Cao Cao and Meng Huo could not withstand him.So far, Cao Cao's second-level Immortal Killing Battle Formation only requires ten thousand people to cultivate sword energy. Yu Jin, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, plus Cao Cao himself, each leads 2000 people. Only in this way can a complete second-level battle formation be formed. Array.As for Meng Huo, only the Red Water Battle Formation could be used.

In the second-level battle formation, Cao and Meng's coalition forces were one less than Yuan Shao's.In the remaining first-order battle formations, Yuan Shao also had the advantage.Yuan Shao has seven powerful generals under his command: Gao Lan, Han Meng, Han Xun, Zhang Jia, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, and Chunyu Qiong. Each of these seven men can command ten thousand people and can form a complete first-order battle formation, which is also invincible.As for the remaining 1 people, they belong to the counselors and their use is still unknown.

As for the first-level battle formation, Cao Cao's side only has one formed by the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, and the brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong also have one together, with only 2 people.Meng Huo only had Xia Mou and Meng Ling each receiving one. As for Pang De, Xu Chu, and Sima Yi, they had very few sergeants. Even the first-order battle array could not be completed, and there was no way they could compete with Yuan Shao.

After this calculation, Cao Cao only had 30 available troops.Meng Huo also had only [-] available troops.It's not that the two men had few sergeants. If we just talk about the number of sergeants, Cao Cao had an army of [-], and Meng Huo also had an army of [-].

But this does not seem to be a battle of numbers.Those who can go to the battlefield are Tao soldiers.

What is a Taoist soldier?

"Lord, we only have [-] Taoist soldiers available. Do we really want to fight Yuan Shao?" Pang De looked at Meng Huo in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, but it was after Meng Huo said that he wanted to 'destroy Yuan Shao' that Pang De The first one to stand up and express concern was that even though Pang De was a fierce general who was not afraid of death, there was a huge gap in strength.It still worries Pound.

Looking around at Wen Wu under his command, he saw that everyone was bowing their heads in deep thought. Meng Huo said: "The art of war goes like this: Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in a hundred battles. Although Yuan Shao is good at it, he doesn't understand Gu's strength. This is an opportunity." It turns out that Tao soldiers are practitioners. , and he is the kind of sergeant who can form a battle formation.

Guo Jia felt something and stepped forward and said: "What the lord said is true. As long as the lord gives me [-] Tao soldiers. If I go deep into Yuan Shao's rear, I will definitely contain his [-] Tao soldiers."

Listen to Guo Jiayan.But Meng Huo shook his head and said: "Yuan Shao is powerful and cannot be defeated without cunning tactics. If Fengxian leads the army, Yuan Shao will have to take precautions, but he may not be able to win. Even if Fengxian has not restrained Yuan Shao's army, all this has already happened. It falls into the hands of Yuan Shao."

As soon as Meng Huo said this.Everyone nodded unconsciously.Now the people Yuan Shao is afraid of are Meng Huo and Cao Cao, or rather the generals and armies under Meng Huo and Cao Cao.Once Yuan Shao realized that Xu Du was empty.They were afraid that a large army would arrive soon, so Meng Huo and Cao Cao could not move, and even their generals and sergeants had to defend Xudu.

After a long time, Jia Xu, who was sitting behind the generals, said, "My lord, I think Sun Shangxiang is an extraordinary general who can lead extraordinary troops."

Meng Huo nodded, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang has always been bold and dared to challenge Cao Cao in the first battle, but with so many people watching, he couldn't help but feel timid.You must know that these people are all great. The poisonous scholar Jia Xu proposed, the national teacher Meng Huo was recognized, and the other celebrities also nodded, which made her, a fledgling girl, feel timid.

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was about to retreat, Diao Chan, who was already behind Sun Shangxiang, pushed Sun Shangxiang forward.

"I..." Standing in the middle of the field, Sun Shangxiang grabbed the corner of his clothes, feeling a little at a loss.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang, Meng Huo called out: "Concubine Xiang."

Meng Huo addressed her as Xiang Fei, and everyone present was surprised. Cai Zhaoji, who was sitting on the side, suddenly stood up, but was soon pulled down by Diao Chan, who just looked at Meng Huo with a pair of unsatisfied eyes.

Sun Shangxiang was not surprised at all. She had promised Meng Huo that she would be a concubine once he became a general, but Sun Shangxiang did not expect it to happen so soon.Thinking that this was just a deal, Sun Shangxiang suddenly became more courageous. He did not humble himself as a concubine or a slave, but said: "The end will be here."

Meng Huo nodded with great satisfaction and said: "I order you to lead the [-] soldiers of the Hongshui Camp to completely destroy Yuan Shang's garrison at Wuchao."

"Yes!" Sun Shangxiang agreed.

"Xiang Fei, can you tell me your strategy?" Meng Huo said.

Sun Shangxiang was speechless for a moment, but he still quickly said: "My lord, I will only give you 1 people, without mentioning food, grass and baggage, just to make me fight Yuan Shang desperately. I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations and use all my strength to destroy him." Even if Yuan Shang's defenders fail, they will burn all the food, grass and baggage of Yuan Shao's army!"

After listening to Sun Shangxiang's words, Meng Huo nodded first and said: "You can be considered a rare general if you can see me burning down Yuan Shao's army's food, grass and baggage."

Then Meng Huo changed his voice and said: "If you try your best to achieve this but you are only a strong general, you cannot be considered a good talent!"

Although no one had ever taken the initiative to teach her the art of war, Sun Shangxiang knew that there was no chance of winning this battle. She led [-] soldiers out, but they were just moths flying into the flames. How could the [-] Hongshuiying soldiers stand against Wuchao Yuan's army.There were not only Yuan Shang's second-level battle formations, but also two generals' first-level battle formations, with a total of [-] Taoist soldiers, which she could not defeat. "In the end, there is no chance of winning." Sun Shangxiang said honestly.

Meng Huo did not look at Sun Shangxiang, but said to everyone: "Soldiers are deceitful. Therefore, they show their inability when they are able, they show their inability when they use them, they show their distance when they are close, and they show their closeness when they are far. They use advantages to lure them. Take it when it is chaotic, prepare it when you are strong, avoid it when you are strong, scratch it when you are angry, be arrogant when you are humble, labor about it when you are lost, get close to it and separate from it. Attack it when it is unprepared and take it by surprise."

"War is inherently a trick and must be used with caution."

Then Meng Huo said again: "Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround it with ten, attack it with five, fight it with twice the enemy, divide the enemy into two, defend it with a small number. If it is not enough, you can avoid it!"

"Yuan Shao is powerful, several times larger than ours. He cannot encircle or attack. He cannot fight, defend, or avoid. There is only one way."

"The Art of War also says: What is true is false, and what is false is true."

Finally, Meng Huo turned his attention to Sun Shangxiang and said, "Concubine Xiang, how should I deal with this?"

Sun Shangxiang is indeed a peerless general. Hearing Meng Huo's words, he suddenly realized something, and said: "My lord does not carry food, grass, or baggage. It means that the general will go into battle lightly, and the weak one will attract the Wuchao garrison to attack. The real one will Defeat them one by one. To achieve the goal of destroying the Wuchao defenders!"

Meng Huo even nodded in relief, but he could still feel Sun Shangxiang's worry.Then he said, "Don't worry about food, grass, and baggage. I have my own means to deliver it to you."

"In the end, my lord will destroy all the Wuchao defenders!" Sun Shangxiang said loudly.

"It's enough to destroy the army, but don't burn its food and grass." Meng Huo said, which puzzled everyone. "There are people who will burn it." Meng Huo explained.The generals vaguely understood Meng Huo's intention.

"Generals, after listening to the order, send troops to Guandu immediately!" Meng Huo shouted.

"As ordered!"

"Guandu!" At the same time, Cao Cao's finger fell on the map where Guandu was.

"set off!"

However, within three days, [-] Taoist troops from the Cao and Meng coalition arrived in Guandu.

At the same time, Yuan Shao personally led his troops outside Guandu.The two sides are in a confrontation, and the war is about to break out.

Yuan Shao arrives.He did not launch an attack immediately, but he was also worried that Cao Cao and Meng Huo would attack from the rear.

Standing in mid-air.Yuan Shao has a bird's eye view of Guandu.After discovering that Cao Cao's Zhuxian Sword Formation and Meng Huo's Red Water Battle Formation were both here, and also realizing that Cao Cao and Meng Huo's generals had taken over Xudu, he immediately felt relieved and shouted: "Kill!"

When Yuan Shao came to attack, Cao Cao and Meng Huo naturally came out to meet him. The drums were beating loudly for a while, and soon the two armies were facing each other outside the Guandu Wall.

I saw Yuan Shao leading the way, followed by Shen Pei, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan, Han Meng, and Chunyu Qiong.Afterwards, [-] golden-armored Taoist soldiers and four battle formations were all arranged.

Cao Cao and Meng Huo also came out to welcome him.

Behind Cao Cao were Yu Jin, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, followed by [-] Zhuxian Dao soldiers; Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong each led [-] soldiers.As for Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, they stayed in Xudu. Xudu could not tolerate any mistakes, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver once defeated.As for Meng Huo's death, there are also generals such as Xia Mou, Pang De, Xu Chu, and Meng Ling.

When the two armies faced each other, Cao Cao glared at Yuan Shao, who was wearing golden armor and robes, and said, "I reported you as the general before the emperor. Why are you plotting rebellion now?"

Yuan Shao was also unwilling to be outdone and said: "You claim to be the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, but you are actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty! You are guilty of a heinous crime, even more so than recklessness and Zhuo. You are falsely accusing someone of rebellion!"

Even after scolding Cao Cao, Yuan Shao did not forget Meng Huo who was beside Cao Cao. He pointed at Meng Huo and said, "You talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but you are just a thief who deceives the world. There is no more sinister person in the world than you!"

Meng Huo had to sigh that Yuan Shao really had some discernment, "No doubt, let's fight!" Meng Huo said.

Cao Cao shouted: "Who can help me capture this traitor!"

"In the future!" After saying this, a general was seen flying out. He was seen flying in the air, with a giant sword floating above his figure. It was Zhang Liao, the most immortal general under Cao Cao.

Looking at Zhang Liao, Yuan Shao nodded to the general behind him.

The general also flew into the air, and suddenly tens of thousands of people formed a battle formation on the ground. A huge flying sword also appeared at the feet of the general, and the general soared into the air.

One had a sword hanging above his head, and the other had a sword under his feet. In the blink of an eye, they stood together.

"Who is this?" Cao Cao couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Liao and the general fighting in the same place, with no winner or loser.

"It's Yuan Shao's flying sword general who opened his jaws!" Someone immediately reported back.

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately took notice.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Zha were already standing in the air. Meng Huo ordered Xu Chu beside him: "Zhong Kang, let's fight!"

Xu Chu shot the tiger out and rushed towards Yuan Jun.

Seeing Xu Chu come out, a general jumped out from behind Yuan Shao. Under him was a giant turtle, holding an earth-colored spear. He was even fighting with Xu Chu.

At the beginning of the battle, neither side showed its strongest strength, and both faced each other in a first-order battle formation. It seemed that the fight was evenly matched, but both Cao Cao and Meng Huo knew that Yuan Shao's side had the upper hand.

Just when Cao Cao was about to send another general to fight, Xiahou Dun, who was behind Cao Cao, suddenly stepped forward, pointed at the dots of light among the Taoist soldiers behind Yuan Shao, and exclaimed: "Prime Minister, look!"

Looking in the direction pointed by Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao was shocked.

"Xiahou Dun and Yuan Hong attack!" Cao Cao said angrily.

Meng Huo came back to his senses in an instant: "Meng Ling takes action!"

Why were Cao Cao and Meng Huo so frightened? It all depends on one person
