Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 130: Guandu!Guandu!
The crackling fire ignited, and the carefully crafted well curb and the scull cart were licked by the fire, as if seven or eight large fires had been set up by the river. Behind the fence, thousands of residents of Baima City were in tears. The old and the young were under the custody of Cao Jun, and they fled towards the south every three steps.

Xing, the people suffer!Death, the people suffer!Here is a dripping expression.

However, Cao Cao had no other choice. After all, it might not be lucky to keep them in Baima. Yuan Shaozheng, who was crossing the river, would soon have to be recruited by Yuan Shaozheng to work as cattle and horses for the Hebei camp. Homeland day.

Followed by more than 1 soldiers of Cao Cao's three armies, this early stage strategic confrontation, in fact, Xudu's Central Plains Group's decision-making was really brilliant. The trend of detouring behind Yuan Shao and threatening the back of the Hebei army attracted Yuan Shao, who had originally marched towards the white horse, to temporarily change his mind. An army of more than [-] men marched aggressively westward, intending to fight Cao Cao, but was beaten by Mr. Cao. Wan Qi rushed east, defeated Wen Chou's vanguard army in one fell swoop, and beheaded Hebei General Wen Chou here.

This is especially damaging to morale for the decisive battle between the two armed groups!
However, Yuan Shao's chest was slapped, the number of soldiers was large, and more than 11 soldiers were lost, and there were more than 11 or even more. He returned the army to the white horse, and Cao Cao had to withdraw. Ten thousand enemies [-] , he really didn't know how to turn beans into soldiers, and at the same time he abandoned Mengjin, Baima two ferries, and Dongjun.

No trick, this is their hard power!
And this end is almost Cao Jun who just burned the scull cart well fence, and Yuan Shao's 11 troops on the other end started the magnificent Dadu River. Stringed up with ropes, amidst the sound of ding ding bang bang, in just ten minutes, a pontoon bridge has begun to take shape.

In the rear, he turned around and glanced at the Hebei cavalry who had led their horses across the river first, shouting excitedly and galloping. Cao Cao sighed, put away his binoculars, kicked the horse's stomach a few times, and followed the team.

Seeing him like this, Wang Hou's mood also became heavy. It seems that Cao Cao's command in "New Three Kingdoms" played four tricks in one go, and easily defeated Yuan Shao's 70 troops. It's still a drama!This battle is not as easy as expected!
After 6000 days of bang in the north, at the end of cold November, the main force of more than [-] Cao troops returned to Guandu in Jishui.

In fact, relying on the superiority of the cavalry and the natural danger of the Yellow River, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun can actually entangle for more than ten days. After all, no matter how huge the army is, it will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness across a river. Just eating a small part of you is enough to cause Yuan Shao a headache for a long time, but Cao Cao still decisively abandoned the Yellow River Natural Danger and Dongjun, because the sacrifice brought about by such entanglement is not necessary at all!
More than 40 miles north of Puyang is the prosperous Jizhou!For this battle, it is said that Yuan Shao has prepared a full 200 ​​million shi of grain, and Yuan Shao can obtain a steady stream of grain, grass and reinforcements from the plain of more than 40 miles in Huaxian County, but on the other hand, Cao Cao, although Yanzhou is also under his jurisdiction However, after Lu Bu’s rebellion, the entire East County has not much population left, and there are no strong cities to store grain. In order to guard against Yuan Shao, most of the grain that Wang Hou captured was transported to Zhongmou, south of Jishui. Cao Cao wanted to confront Yuan Shao across the Yellow River, but he had to pay the price of more than 200 miles of grain roads.

Moreover, in this section of the Yellow River in Dongjun, there are two sections of ferries, Mengjin and Baima. Although the water on the other side of Puyang is deep, it is relatively stable. If Yuan Shao forcibly crosses the Yellow River to fight with him, he will collapse directly.

This is a typical strategy of exchanging space for strategic advantages. Cao Cao gave up Dongjun and asked Yuan Shao to lead his army across the natural danger of the Yellow River, dragging the battlefield to Guandu. Wang Hou prepared that the Cao army could enjoy the garrison food on the spot, while Yuan Shao had to bear the burden. There are more than 240 miles of grain roads, and although Jishui is not as spacious and rapid as the mainstream of the Yellow River, there are few loopholes. Within a few hundred miles, there is only Guandu, a gentle ferry, where Cao can concentrate his strength to fight Yuan Shao.

Not to mention, when I came back, I was a little surprised. When Wang Hou came back last time, Guandu was bare. This time when the army returned, Xiahou Dun, who was opening the way for the former army, suddenly stood up in amazement. The binoculars happened to land on his one eye, and after a few glances, he waved the flag hastily.

"Pause the march! Stay on the defensive!"

"Prime Minister! There is a situation ahead!!!"

With a long sound, this guy galloped back while pumping his ass.

His bluffing really shocked Cao Cao and Wang Hou, who accompanied Cao Cao back, and hurried back with his bodyguards, picked up the binoculars to watch, but Wang Hou couldn't help it He shook his head speechlessly.

A thin layer of lead gray foam covers it like the foam on beer, and some areas are still being processed!The civil servants recruited by Yanzhou transported bricks to the construction site one by one like the engineering teams of later generations. The blue-gray Han bricks were placed in a row of three, and a layer of cement was applied in the middle like cream, and then they were slapped on the wall, and then In the next piece, a circular parapet wraps both sides of the official road for several miles in the middle.

In addition to Wang Yuan, Wang Hammer and Wang Ni, the contractors of the Wang family's engineering team who have been contracted in Puyang for half a year, Wang Hou couldn't find a second company in the entire Han Empire for the time being!Putting down the binoculars, Wang Hou said with a relaxed smile.

"Don't be nervous, my own people. Before the minister and General Zhang Liao joined forces, let Qi Ling lead the engineering team under his command to build fortifications at Guandu, in case Yuan Jun's cavalry might hijack the grain road at the ferry. She should have led people to build it!"

"Qi Ling?"

"Er..., it's Lu Ji!"

Mentioning Xiaosan in front of the old man, even if the old man rewarded him personally, Wang Hou still felt guilty. Sure enough, Cao Cao's old face couldn't help but become a little weird when he heard Lu Ji, but still Well, Cao Cao didn't come to fight as a general before the battle, he just twisted his beard and hummed resentfully.

"It was repaired so quickly! Not bad!"

"Pass the order of the truth, the front is safe, continue to march!"

Afraid of causing misunderstanding, Wang Hou simply sent Wang Congge to take Xin back to the Guandu camp first, while Cao Cao did not return to the Chinese army at all, and went directly with the former army Xiahou Dun, and even accelerated his pace. In the blink of an eye, the waiter Liu Ye who was staying at Guandu Daying, the prefect Wu Zhi of Chenliu and other officials lined up at the door to greet her. In the crowd, Lu Ji, who was left behind by the little girl Cao Hongjie to serve Wang Hou, was also among them. , Seeing Cao Cao appearing at the gate of Daying in the first place, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Meet the prime minister!"

Seeing Wang Hou's return, for the first time, Lu Ji's usual calm pupils showed a wave of excitement and ecstasy, and even lost her composure and hurriedly took a step forward. She also bowed and bowed down. Wang Hou, who was riding a horse behind Cao Cao, couldn't help being stunned, but seeing his own girl, especially such a capable girl, he quickly responded with a smile, The smile once again changed Lu Ji's face slightly, and two beautiful red clouds appeared on her pink cheeks.

However, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the eye contact between his son-in-law and his youngest son, and he even ignored the salutes of his subordinates. Only when we get closer can we see that there is still another world, these parapets are not just one, but three in total!And they are not connected together. Every ten meters or so of the wall, there is a gap of about four meters. Corresponding to the gap in the road wall.

The complicated wall structure made Cao Cao confused for a while, but as an old soldier, after thinking about it for a while, his pupils lit up again.

"Very good! Gentlemen, please stand up!"

Liu Ye couldn't help showing smiles on the faces of those who heard this, but Cao Cao hadn't finished tossing, got off his horse, and walked to the side of the specially built gatehouse beside the official road, Cao Cao suddenly exhaled and slammed A fist hit the wall covered with foamy off-white cement.

With a bang, Wang Hou clearly saw Mr. Cao's old face twitch slightly, his beard trembling violently, trying to maintain his image of a wise lord, and then he shook his hand without pain.

However, Mr. Cao's competitive spirit was aroused again, and he took a step back suddenly. Under Wang Houjian's painful grin, he pulled out his Yitian sword with a buzzing sound, and slammed it on the wall fiercely. With a bang, the cement was cut with a mark, but the edge of the Yitian sword also had some small gaps.

"it is good!"

It didn't feel bad at all, anyway, if Wang Hou can shoot Yitian sword once, he can shoot the second one, put the sword back into its sheath, Cao Cao shouted "Hello" again with great excitement, then turned his head, and suddenly raised the scabbard to shout orders road.

"Pass the order of the prime minister, and the army enters the village!"

…………

Three walls were built in 22 days, with a total length of more than 40 miles. For the era of the end of Han Dynasty, it was already considered an engineering miracle. Therefore, don’t expect any exquisite buildings inside the walls. Fortunately, Cao Jun also repaired them before departure. Some wooden sheds and the like returned from several battles in the north, so they would not sleep in the open air when they came back.

Moreover, the materials were hoarded here, and Cao Jun who was stationed again in the barracks also obtained supplies such as horse fodder very conveniently. The cavalry finally let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to take their beloved horses to drink by the Jishui River. Turn over, and then feed the fodder mixed with wheat bran, while the infantry brothers at the other end are sitting around the coal stove made of bricks, comfortably roasting the fire and roasting the steamed buns.

On the other end, Wang Hou hurriedly rushed to the rear supply camp. Before he could say goodbye to his young wife, Lu Ji, the head of Mr. Cao's personal bodyguard hurried over again.

"Master! The prime minister invited you and Mrs. Lu to see him!"

Asking Lu Ji to go with her, Wang Hou couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This wife-controlling father-in-law couldn't have regretted seeing Qi Ling's ability, and wanted to take her back!

According to the customs at the end of Han Dynasty, it might be true, thinking with worry, in front of Xu Chu, Wang Hou suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Ji's little hand.

However, this action made Lu Ji's little face obviously show a look of astonishment. The next second, being blown by the north wind continuously, her little face, which was already a little rough from the cold, turned red like blood. He drooped his little head down deeply.

However, her little hand was still in Wang Hou's, and she didn't intend to pull it out at all, and even pulled it even tighter.

Cao Cao’s army is still in the big tent decorated with bronze pillars, but Wang Houhua has been fully carried out inside at this time, and the coal stove outside is burning the hollow brick boards tens of square meters on the ground warmly. The prime minister’s mansion in Xudu is comfortable, but it’s no different, but Cao Cao shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers when he eats it. It’s also a baked bun, and a plate of pickles is added to wrap his stomach.

When Wang Hou arrived, Liu Ye and Wu Zhi just came out. Seeing him spreading dog food everywhere hand in hand, they bowed respectfully to Wang Hou.

"The lower official has met the envoy!"

"Liu Shizhong, Lord Wu is too polite!"

Everyone had a lot of things to do at hand. After saying hello, they said goodbye and went to their own business. Wang Hou didn't take it seriously, he still took Lu Ji's little hand and entered the tent of the Chinese army until he saw Cao Cao. Only then did he let go of Lu Ji, who was blushing and almost had a fever, and knelt down, bowing respectfully.

"My servant, Wang Hou, pay homage to Xiangfu!"

This Cao Cao is gnawing on the baked buns!Seeing him holding on to Lu Ji's little hand suddenly, the old guy's face was obviously stunned, but then it quickly became weird, and he slapped the table in a bit of embarrassment.

"Get up! Just now, Liu Ye and Wu Zhi came to report that they built a defense wall for our army. It was all thanks to the command and planning of this old man, the righteous daughter Lu Qiling! My daughter has made a contribution! I bestow you with the position of Lord Dongquanting! Reward cloth One hundred horses! Get down!"

"Daughter thank you for your kindness!"

After bowing dignifiedly beside Wang Hou, Lu Ji withdrew from the Chinese army in a rather ladylike way, but as she was retreating, that rich blush still appeared on her cheeks, adding a sense of embarrassment. look.

It can be considered that she has been married to Wang Hou for almost a year. For the first time, she felt such a sense of belonging.

But here, Wang Hou is a little bit embarrassed, Cao Cao said the righteous daughter, my daughter, the word "my daughter" was very heavy, that is to tell him specially, the old man is not interested in your boy's youngest son!The feeling is that I think too much, kneeling on the ground, Wang Hou scratched the back of his head sadly and smiled innocently, Cao Zong who looked at this look snorted coldly, but he didn't ask him to settle accounts, but his tone Once changed, he changed the topic to another place.

"Liu Ye reports that the defense walls outside the camp are all thanks to you! The blueprints you left behind were led by that little girl Lu Ji! These three defense walls can withstand at least [-] troops! Cement! Stirrups! Go back Cannon! This old man really doubts that in Shouchun that day, if the soldiers really chopped off your boy's head, God just replaced your brain with a new one in order to achieve the great cause of truth!"

"Forehead……"

Needless to say, although the brain is not lost, Boss Cao's guess is really close to ten. He was so frightened that Wang Hou's face froze, and his back burst into cold sweat. Fortunately, the old guy just sighed, and immediately put Focus on the battle in front of you.

"Old man Yuan's family has great achievements, and since he was a child, his pockets are a bit heavier than my family's children! This time there is a mighty 11 army! What a big battle!"

"However, there are so many people, heavy supplies and heavy rations. In addition to his heavy big guys, it will take at least half a month to cross the Yellow River and attack Guandu. Our army is light and simple, and it will take him at least ten days. Time! In these ten days, what do you think our army needs to do as a top priority!"

"Prime Minister, my opinion! The first priority is to repair the septic tank on the Jishui side first!"

"Forehead……"

Seeing Wang Hou's face full of solemnity, gesticulating swearingly, I really thought he was going to come up with some big killer, but when the word septic tank came out, Mr. Cao was stunned for a minute, and then he became angry from embarrassment. Several veins popped out, and angrily threw out the baked steamed buns, which just hit Wang Hou's forehead, and immediately waved his coat sleeves again, roaring angrily.

"Get out, old man!"
