Reincarnation Showdown

Chapter 58 Lin Yuan vs Fang Yifan

Due to the addition of the Samsaras, the military strength of the princes was much higher than before. This benefited from the improvement of food crops, allowing the same large territory to supply more soldiers.

And Yuan Shao, who has the support of more than 50 heavenly beings, has benefited the most.

In just two continents, 50 troops were organized.

Even if 40 people are left to guard Youzhou, there will be as many as [-] troops from Jizhou to Yanzhou—so many people, plus Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Fang Yifan and his "Heavenly Human Army", are enough for a decisive battle with Cao Cao up.

But Lin Yuan only took 8000 people to meet the enemy.

Most of the troops were given to Cao Cao and Zhao Yun.

The soldiers stationed in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and southern Yuzhou were not summoned back either.

It was a big risk.

Wen Shijie couldn't understand it at all - if others did this, he could directly define them as "idiots", and only idiots could do such stupid things.

But here comes the question, is Lin Yuan a fool?

He is the number one strategist in the world today!

Either an extremely powerful reincarnation, or a super boss among the aboriginals who is similar to the Moon Worshiper!

How could such a low-level mistake be made?

"Is it possible that he wants to beat 40 for [-]?"

……

On the other side, Brother Xiahou was a little confused when he saw that Lin Yuan only brought 8000 people.

"Military advisor, Yuan Shao brought 40 troops and horses, and he also had three generals: Fang Yifan, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou. You only brought 8000 troops and not one of the most powerful generals. How can we fight against this Zhang?"

In fact, fewer soldiers and horses is not a problem.

There are actually 1 defenders in Yanzhou. Lin Yuan can fight Lu Bu with 10 with 40, and it is not impossible to fight with [-] against Yuan Shao with [-].

The question is, is it worth the risk?

Bringing an extra [-] soldiers and horses, two to one will be enough, and the two brothers will be able to defeat him. As for the peerless generals, Cao Ying clearly has many, why didn't he bring any?
"Dianwei and Xu Chu have to protect the prime minister, while Zilong, Fengxian and Hansheng are going to raid Youzhou." Lin Yuan said.

Naturally, there was a reason for his arrangement: Yuan Shao had too many troops on his way. Whether he gathered his army to defeat them head-on or used cunning tactics to lead them into danger, he would have to suffer heavy losses if he wanted to win, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

The soldiers that Lin Yuan trained so hard were not meant to be consumed like this.

Therefore, he sent Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Huang Zhong to join forces to raid Youzhou—as long as Youzhou is captured, Yuan Shao will be attacked on both sides, and he can also follow Youzhou, take Bingzhou to the west, and capture it with Cao Cao. Xiliang.

Form an encirclement trend.

By that time, Yuan Shao will no longer be able to cause trouble.

As for whether it can be done, this is not a big problem: now that Ma Teng is dead, Wen Shijie leads Kong Rong's men to march towards Sichuan, and Bingzhou and Xiliang are in an unprecedented emptiness.

Almost ownerless.

Ordinary soldiers and horses may be difficult to win in a short period of time, but it is not difficult for Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and the others.

The only difficult part of this strategy is how to hold Yuan Shao's main force with the least amount of troops. No one else can do this, so Lin Yuan can only go out in person.

"But if this happens, it will be difficult for us here!" Xiahou Dun said.

When Yuan Shao's army came to attack, they stationed not far outside the city. The reason why they didn't attack the city was that they were building fortifications for safety.But even so, there were many small-scale battles.

The Xiahou brothers even fought in person.

As a result, the morale of Cao's army dropped a lot: Xia Houyuan was unable to defeat Yan Liang, and could only manage more than 100 moves before being defeated.Xiahou Dun went to fight Wen Chou, but he failed even to sustain a hundred moves and was defeated.

Even almost beheaded.

It's not that the two of them can't do it, but that Yan Liang and Wen Chou can really be said to be the strongest in the world.

And the Xiahou brothers are not good at single combat.

Therefore, there is no doubt that they are not opponents. During the Battle of Guandu in the original work, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also stumped the fierce generals of Cao Ying.

"My two brothers are incompetent. They lost to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, let alone Fang Yifan, the 'Heavenly Man'. Now our army's morale is low, and we urgently need a peerless general. Military commander, see if you can dispatch Lu Bu Come here?" Xiahou Dun said, "No matter how bad it is, if you transfer Guan Yu from Xuchang, it will work!"

From the perspective of warfare, personal force is actually insignificant, and a general is nothing more than the courage of a man.

It is the soldiers that determine victory or defeat.

But the problem is that the strength of the general is also related to morale.

If morale is gone, no matter how strong a soldier is, he will be vulnerable to a single blow. Conversely, no matter how weak a soldier is, if his morale is high, his combat power will be astonishing.

"I can't blame you, and you two should not belittle yourselves. What is the bravery of an ordinary man? A general is a handsome man who can lead the overall situation. No matter how strong his personal martial arts is, it is nothing more than the courage of an ordinary man!" Lin Yuan consoled him.

After hearing this, the two people who were originally worried about being held accountable felt much better.

But still worried.

"But Yuan Shao's strength really cannot be underestimated!" Xia Houyuan said.

It’s hard for these two brothers.

In the original work, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who gave Cao Cao a headache, plus Fang Yifan, whose martial arts skills are still above him, and an army of 40 people. Such a huge pressure falls on the shoulders of these two people, and it is rare to be able to hold on.

"Don't worry, from now on, you just obey orders." Lin Yuan smiled.

……

On the other side, in Yuan Shao's big tent, everyone was having a banquet.

Not to mention drinking, there was also music playing, and a handsome woman danced in front of her. It didn't look like a battlefield at all, but rather like having fun at home during the Taiping period.

Deep down, Yuan Shao never took Cao Cao seriously because the latter's background was so poor.

The reason why Cao Cao and his father were able to enter the officialdom was because they were adopted by a eunuch. No matter how powerful the eunuch was, he was still just an eunuch and would not be valued by real aristocratic families.

So did Cao Cao's father.

One cannot become a noble family if one has been an official, and a poor family is a poor family.

Mud legs are mud legs.

Cao Song can be ranked among the "Three Dukes", because he can only be ranked as the Third Duke, and he still spent money to buy it, and the Yuan family can be "four generations and three Dukes", because the highest official position in the court is only the Third Duke.

Completely incomparable.

"After a mere eunuch wants to compete with me, I really overestimate my capabilities!" Yuan Shao boasted: "I personally led a large army to attack Yanzhou. If Cao Cao dispatched Xuchang soldiers and horses to help, the rear must be empty, and if he does not come to help, Yanzhou must be occupied by me, let me see how he will deal with it?"

After hearing this, all the followers naturally flattered him.

Fang Yifan, the second number in Yuan Jun, also looked disdainful, nodded and said: "Then Lin Yuan is nothing more than a monkey called the king without tigers in the mountains. The invincible Datong army is just that he has not met a real elite. He is the best strategist in the world. In the face of absolute power, all his conspiracies and tricks are a joke!"

Yuan Shao looked down on Cao Cao, and Fang Yifan looked down on Lin Yuan.

I have to say that this pair of "ministers" is really a good match.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice shouting from the opposite side: "Is Fang Yifan here? Call your 'celestial army' to come out and bow to their father, 'God of Heaven'."
