Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Guan Ping's new biography

After Guan Ping led his army from Ye County, in accordance with Pang Tong's strategy of "closing the door and beating the dog", he decided to temporarily abandon most of the prefectures and counties in southern Yuzhou and ignore them, and instead directly entered Yingchuan County, where Cao Cao started his career.

Xiahou Dun, who stayed behind in Xuchang, received Cao Cao's order to defend with all his strength, and mobilized all the main forces from Yan, Yu, and Hebei provinces, and all retreated to Xuchang city, hoping to hold out until Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, and then sent eastward reinforcements.

The west route army led by Guan Ping was blocked by Xiahou Dun in Xuchang. However, the east route army led by Wei Yan and Lu Xun made rapid progress. This was also because Cao Bing had troops stationed in Xu and Qingzhou in addition to Zhang Liao in Hefei.

Very few, and in the battle of Hefei, Zhang Liao tried his best, but could not withstand Wei Yan's attack. Wei Yan also obeyed Guan Ping's instructions and treated Zhang Liao with courtesy. Zhang Wenyuan refused to surrender but did not fight, so he continued to fight every day.

He only stayed with his wife and children in the mansion. When the Hefei army saw that the general was like this, most of the remaining troops surrendered. Therefore, when Guan Ping was stuck in Xuchang for half a month and had not moved, Wei Yan had already swept into Xu and Qing as planned.

Guan Ping surrounded Xuchang. In addition to urging troops to attack every day and launching a political and psychological offensive, he also ordered an army to march eastward from Ye County to wipe out the county soldiers from Yingchuan County in Yuzhou to the south. At the same time, he ordered Wei Yan to march from Linzi to

Advance westward, clear Yanzhou along the way, and encircle Xuchang with Guan Ping's main army.

The second army, plus the surrendered troops collected along the way, attacked more than 150,000 people and surrounded the city of Xuchang. However, because there were enough soldiers and horses in the city, there were 50,000 people, and there were abundant grain and grass reserves. Secondly, Xiahou Dun commanded it well.

And it has considerable popular support and military morale; the Guan army made repeated general attacks, but all returned without success.[

Guan Ping stood outside Xuchang City, thinking that Cao Cao was about to withdraw from Guanzhong. If he still couldn't capture Xuchang and waited for him to lead the main force to rescue him, it would be a situation of internal and external attacks. God knows what changes would happen.

"Your Majesty." Just as Guan Ping was walking back and forth, Pang Tong quietly walked behind him and called.

"What's the matter with Shi Yuan?" Guan Ping only said something perfunctory. As the team of counselors under Guan Ping grew, Pang Tong became a little less fond of giving advice. Moreover, Guan Ping placed Xu Shu in high regard, so Pang Tong could also count this as a disguised form.

expressed dissatisfaction.

‘Suggestions.’ Pang Tong grinned with his big fat mouth.

Guan Ping was stunned, turned back quickly, grabbed Pang Tong's sleeve, and said, "What's Shi Yuan's clever plan?"

Pang Tong spoke slowly: 'Speak in the east and attack in the west.'

Guan Ping frowned, but he didn't pay attention to the plan. He could only say: "Shi Yuan, please tell me in detail."

Pang Tong said: "Only 30,000 soldiers and horses were left to pretend to be powerful. They still surrounded the city of Xuchang and attacked day and night. The lord personally led the troops and horses to the west and entered Guanzhong. The horses and men formed a group to attack Cao Cao from a pinch. He would be defeated. As long as Cao Cao

How long can Xuchang City survive once it dies?'

'If Xiahou Dun sees through my plan, how about attacking my base camp from behind?'

Pang Tong said with a smile: "That will be like Zhou Yu attacking Jiangxia and my lord attacking Wu County. At that time, the competition will be who is faster. My lord, even if we have troops on land in Jingzhou, it is difficult to resist Xiahou Dun, as long as the mistress takes the little lord to the river."

As soon as Xiahou Dun moved, he could only look at the river and sigh; and if he were to advance westward and wanted to attack the lord from behind with Cao Cao, it would be easier. In terms of field battles, who is our Mo Daowei's opponent?'

Guan Ping shook his head slightly and said: "To attack from both front and back is a taboo in military use. Even if our Modao Guards are strong, it doesn't matter. It's not easy for us to get to where we are now through all the obstacles. We have to be careful. I think this strategy is too great."

It's too risky to implement; however, Shiyuan, I followed the idea of ​​​​your plan and thought of a good compromise.

Pang Tong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still said: 'I forgive Tong for being stupid, please give me a clear explanation from the king.'

'We can implement this method, but we deliberately leave some loopholes in it. If Xiahou Dun sees it, he will definitely leave the city. In this way, our goal will be achieved.'

Pang Tong smiled and said: "This method is cautious yet subtle. Your Majesty is wise."

Guan Ping smiled and said: 'I will leave it to Shi Yuan to plan this matter.'
