At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

The cold wind unknowingly took away the cold winter, and as a ray of spring breeze blows, a hundred flowers bloom and everything recovers.

Throughout the land of the Central Plains, there are figures of peasants working everywhere.

If you focus on the present, you must think that this is a rare peaceful and prosperous age!

It's a pity that the current time is the sixth year of Jian'an, 201 AD.

Only half a year had passed since the battle that broke out in Guandu.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's more than 100,000 troops fought desperately, and finally ended with Cao Cao burning Wuchao and annihilating 100,000 Yuan's troops and winning a complete victory.

After this battle, Yuan Shao completely lost his chance to become the world's number one overlord.

However, as the victor, Cao Cao not only did not choose to pursue the victory, but fell silent.

After ordering the soldiers to guard the banks of the Yellow River, Cao Cao led the army back to Xuchang, without any intention of crossing the Yellow River to attack Jizhou.

Yuzhou, Xuchang, Sikong Mansion.

"Hahaha…!"

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

A short, dark-skinned man in fine clothes was constantly laughing.

It was Cao Cao and Cao Mengde who were Sikong in the current dynasty and who coerced the emperor to order the princes.

Cao Cao was laughing unscrupulously, the laughter was full of disdain and contempt.

"My lord, why are you so happy?"

A hearty voice of inquiry suddenly came from outside the door. Before the person arrived, the voice came first.

Cao Cao's back was facing the gate, and he knew who was coming without turning his head at all.

"Feng Xiao, this Sikong defeated the strong with the weak and wiped out Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops!"

"I didn't expect that the saying that I, Sikong is afraid of Yuan Shao, the great general, is still circulating in the Central Plains!"

"Are you saying it's ridiculous or not?"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a young and handsome man walked in.

It was the military advisers appointed by Cao Cao himself, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

The current Guo Jia is Cao Cao's military adviser, not the historical military adviser offering wine.

"My lord, there are tens of millions of people in the world, so naturally there are tens of thousands of arguments, why should you care?"

Cao Cao turned around quickly, looked at his counselor with a smile in his eyes, and made no secret of his love for him.

Guo Jia, who is only 31 years old, is now Cao Cao's most important schemer.

Guo Jia understands him so well, often Cao Cao only needs to look at him or make a small movement, and Guo Jia will immediately understand and make the most appropriate arrangement.

Especially Guo Jian's sword-browed and star-like eyes seem to be able to see through everything!

The first time he saw Guo Jia, Cao Cao was struck by his big, bright, piercing eyes.

After just one conversation, Cao Cao decided that Guo Jia must be the one who helped him achieve his great cause.

The monarch and his ministers got along so well that they were almost inseparable.

"Feng Xiao, the food from the states in the Central Plains has been transported to Yanzhou, and I am going to lead an army across the Yellow River to attack Wei County!"

"It's better to let the world know that the battle of Guandu was not a coincidence, and that I, Sikong, is the hero of the world!"

After the big victory last October, Cao Cao wanted to cross the Yellow River immediately.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the great victory, he occupied Wei County of Jizhou in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the future attack on Hebei.

At that time, Yuan Shao's entire army was wiped out, and he fled back to Yecheng alone, already frightened to death.

As long as Cao Cao leads the army to cross the river, not only will Wei Jun have no power to stop him, but Yuan Shao is likely to abandon the city and flee.

It's a pity that this decision did not get the support of the generals under his command.

Cao Jun was so short of food that the food stored in the camp didn't even last ten days.

So much so that when Cao Cao arrived at Wuchao, facing the mountain of grain and grass, his first reaction was not to burn it, but to snatch it away!

Fortunately, Guo Jia persuaded him in time, and only then did he burn Wuchao.

Just when Cao Cao was about to fight against all opinions and was determined to cross the river to attack Wei County, it was Guo Jia who spoke out again and finally dissuaded Cao Cao.

"My lord, I'm afraid we don't need to attack Yuan Shao, he's going to trouble us again."

"Oh? Yuan Shao put down the rebellion in Hebei?"

Cao Cao was very surprised by this news. The defeat of Guandu caused a rebellion against Yuan Shao in the land of Hebei.

According to the current situation in Hebei, Yuan Shao is still too busy to take care of himself, so how can he have spare energy to attack the Central Plains?

"My lord, Yuan Shao has assembled an army of 150,000, and put down the chaos in Jizhou with a destructive force!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand! How is it possible?"

Cao Cao exclaimed, his eyes filled with horror.

If Yuan Shao could pull up 150,000 people in such a short period of time, why didn't he bring an army of 250,000 before?

At that time, if Yuan Jun had an extra 150,000 yuan, it would be impossible to know who would win or lose.

"No! Yuan Shao is bluffing, he can't have 150,000 troops!"

Cao Cao immediately calmed down from his panic, and showed a contemptuous smile.

The reason why Yuan Shao released the news must be because he was worried that he would take the initiative to cross the river and invade Jizhou.

Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao strangely, and sighed softly in his heart.

My lord is always so inexplicably confident, I'm afraid I will suffer a lot in the future...

In Guo Jia's view, this self-confidence often turns into conceit.

Although Guo Jia has corrected Cao Cao many times, Cao Cao always disagrees.

Over time, Guo Jia, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, no longer corrects too much.

In fact, Guo Jia is also such a conceited person. He feels that with him by Cao Cao's side, the consequences caused by Cao Cao's conceit will be eliminated in time.

"My lord, as far as I know, Yuan Shao's army of 150,000 is not a bluff."

"At least 100,000 people have assembled in Ye City!"

Although there was no tension or fear on Guo Jia's face, Cao Cao's serious expression no longer doubted him.

"Feng Xiao, where did Yuan Benchu ​​get the army? Isn't he afraid that the rebellion will get out of hand?"

Cao Cao knew that there were still many soldiers and horses in Hebei, but these soldiers were all county soldiers or frontier troops that could not be mobilized.

If the Battle of Guandu had not been defeated, Yuan Shao would have been able to mobilize without scruple, after all there was no rebellion under his command.

However, after the fiasco at Guandu, Yuan Shao's rule was shaken, and the forced mobilization of troops and horses would undoubtedly lead to a bigger rebellion.

"My lord, it is the army on the border."

Guo Jia was also very helpless, but that was the truth.

"So it turned out to be like this, it seems that it was Liu Zhang's fault again!"

Cao Cao understood immediately, and directly blamed Liu Zhang for everything.

Even Liu Zhang, who was only in Yizhou, was able to lead an army of 100,000 north to Hanzhong to attack Liangzhou.

Yuan Shao occupied the land of the four prefectures in Hebei, how could it be possible that only 100,000 troops were mobilized?

It was simply because Yuan Shao had too many worries!

The Xianbei people on the remote border, the Wuhuan people, the tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Yan in Heishan, and Gongsundu in Liaodong, including a large area of ​​​​land bordering Cao Cao.

Without these threats, Yuan Shao could gather at least 300,000 troops in Guandu.

"Hey! There is another bad news, do you want to hear it, my lord?"

Cao Cao gave Guo Jia a strange look.

Ever since I met Guo Jia, I have never seen him so helpless.

Even when Guandu was in trouble.

"Is this Sikong listening or not, hasn't everything already happened?"

If Cao Cao had been so optimistic before, Guo Jia's mood would have been mobilized immediately.

But this time was completely different, Guo Jia's mood was still very dull.

"My lord, the latest battle report from Liangzhou shows that Liu Zhang defeated the Han-Sui coalition forces years ago and wiped them...all out!"

"what!"
