Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Replacement of Shaodi

In mid-July of the first year of Chuping, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took their own soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and led a group of princes and troops to storm Zhongmu, fighting for a day and a night, although the city was broken, but suffered heavy losses, and then Lü Bu led the army to attack the rear army, Yuan Shao and others lost nearly 30,000 soldiers in the siege battle, and when Lü Bu attacked, they lost nearly 10,000 troops.

Although Zhongmu was captured, the army on the central line could be regarded as having achieved results, but because the losses were too large to fight again, Yuan Shao had to station in Zhongmu City, repair the city, prevent Dong Zhuo’s counterattack, and at the same time report to Chen Liufa to send reinforcements.

To this, Cao Cao retorted, “Alliance master! The lonely city is difficult to defend, the alliance lord should withdraw from Zhongmu, round with Chen Liuhou’s army, and then attack Jing County, break Jing County around Rongyang, and approach the Tiger Prison of Yanshi and coerce Luoyang City! ”

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, “Meng Dexiu wants to talk nonsense, not to mention whether he can break through Jing County, then how can Rong Yang bypass it?” ”

Cao Cao said, “The general of Rongyang is Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law, that Niu Fu is just a mediocre talent, I wait for Rongyang to be unwilling to storm the big city again, and the second is to lure ~ Niu Fu out of Rongyang, if Niu Fu sees our army going deep alone, he must not dare to let our department go, otherwise Dong Zhuo will not spare Niu Fu lightly.” I can wait for an ambush halfway, and when Niu Fu leads the army to pursue us, I will ambush Niu Fu, and then rush to attack Rongyang, Rongyang, our troops will stand in Henan! ”

Yuan Shao hesitated, “Meng De, what if Niu Fu can’t go out of the city?” ”

Cao Cao continued, “If Niu Fu is timid and does not dare to go out of the city, it is better, our troops only need to send thousands of men and horses to pretend to be ten thousand troops and feign an attack on Rongyang, and then the troops and horses of our headquarters will storm Jing County, and Jing County will attack the Tiger Prison.” That Yanshi Tiger Prison is the eastern gateway of Luoyang City, it is very important, Dong Zhuo will definitely gather his troops to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and then Henan Yin will belong to me and so on! ”

Yuan Shao still hesitated, “If I wait to leave Zhongmu, then Lü Bu, who is wandering around, takes Zhongmu, and I spend a lot of money and food to eat, won’t it all be wasted?” ”

Cao Cao scolded his mother in his heart, but still explained, “If Lü Bu takes Zhongmu, it will be a good thing for me and others!” Lü Bu’s strength is that the cavalry is powerful, if the cavalry defends the city, I will wait for the grain road to threaten, and if I can surround Lü Bu in the city, won’t it break Dong Zhuo’s arm? Even if you can’t kill Lü Bu, you only need to surround and kill most of the Junzhou elite cavalry in the city, and our troops will have no worries about the food road being cut off in the future! ”

Yuan Shao still shook his head, “No, Lü Bu is brave and invincible, our troops now have a lot of casualties, if they don’t defend the city, they may not be able to defeat Lü Bu’s cavalry.” ”

Cao Cao wanted to copy the guy to kill Yuan Shao’s goods, this goods is completely to see small profits and forget righteousness, just a Zhongmu city, let Yuan Shao hold this goods, for fear of losing it. If you don’t risk advancing, with this kind of offensive speed, if you want to hit Luoyang City, it will take several years.

And now that the hearts of the princes have been dispersed, if they do not take advantage of this victory to make another meritorious achievement, once they stop and set up camp, it is impossible for those princes to find an excuse to return to their respective stations.

In this way, what else to talk about will be an alliance with Dong.

Although he was annoyed in his heart, Cao Cao still patiently persuaded, “Dong Zhuo’s troops are cunning, if I wait to defend the city, Dong Zhuo’s troops will definitely surround the point to help, and the rear army of our army is in danger!” ”

“Meng De rest assured, Dong Zhuo’s army is only four or five hundred thousand, and he is divided into troops to garrison various places, even if he comes to besiege the city, he will not be able to transfer many soldiers and horses at a time, and there are fewer soldiers and horses coming, we will attack it, there is no need to worry.”

Cao Cao thought about it, and Yuan Shao’s words were not wrong, but Cao Cao always felt that stationing in the isolated city was not a way, and he wanted to persuade.

But Yuan Shaoyi had already decided, did not listen to Cao Cao’s persuasion, insisted on holding Zhongmu, after all, this is a rare big victory on the central line of the princes, although the cost is very large, but it can also improve morale, if a big city like Zhongmu is abandoned, and then taken back by Dong Zhuo’s troops, it is not what Yuan Shao wants to see.

Dong Zhuo, who was in Luoyang City, learned that the frontline Jiancheng had fallen, and was upset in his heart, thinking of leading the army to retake Zhongmu, but was stopped by Li Ru, and advised him to besiege the city with a large army to help.

Dong Zhuo obeyed Li Ru’s strategy and asked Li Wei and Zhang Ji to lead their headquarters and 120,000 elite soldiers to surround Zhongmu, and then ordered Lü Bu to lead his cavalry to Chen Liu’s necessary road to Zhongmu to ambush.

The remaining generals in the Chen Liusu Zao camp learned of the victory of the front army and the urgent need for the rear army to respond, so they mobilized all their troops and horses to enter the Yin boundary of Henan.

However, Halfway was ambushed by Lü Bu’s army, and he beheaded more than 10,000 people in a battle, defeating the rear army of the princes.

When the rear army of the princes was defeated, Zhongmucheng was surrounded by the armies of Li Wei and Zhang Jiyin.

On the ruined Zhongmu City Wall, Yuan Shao and the others had ugly faces, and they all regretted not listening to Cao Cao.

Especially Yuan Shao, he didn’t think that Dong Zhuo would surround Zhongmu, but he couldn’t believe that Dong Zhuo could actually mobilize more than 100,000 troops in a short time.

Yuan Shao and others did not know that Dong Zhuo was in danger, and after the war with the Kwantung princes, Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru’s strategy, and in the west of Luoyang, in the face of all the garrisons defending against the Hongnong King’s forces, most of them were dispatched, and then more banners were set up in various garrisons in the west, thinking that they were suspicious soldiers, and hid the troops drawn from the western garrisons as surprise soldiers.

Dong Zhuo dared to deploy an army to defend against the Hongnong King’s forces, and it was also because he trusted Li Ru and thoroughly understood his role in the Hongnong King, so Dong Zhuo dared to act in such a dangerous way.

And this one has become a dead cave for the Kanto princes!

At the head of Zhongmucheng, Yuan Shao and the others soon welcomed a general who broke through the siege, and when they asked, they learned that this general was a general of Chen Liuhou’s army, and he came to report that the rear army was ambushed, suffered heavy losses, and could not come to the aid for the time being.

After knowing that there were no foreign reinforcements, the faces of Yuan Shao and the others were even more ugly.

At this time, Cao Cao said, “Alliance master, everyone, now Chen Liu’s reinforcements are hopeless, and Hanoi Wang Kuang and other troops are entangled by Hua Xiong and Guo Qiangbu, and it is unknown whether General Luyang Hou (Yuan Shu) will come to help. ”

When everyone heard Cao Cao say this, they all secretly glanced at Yuan Shao, after all, everyone knew the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao didn’t care about that, and quickly said, “Zhongmu City is dilapidated, and the grain and grass I have brought with me are not enough to hold it for a long time, if Dong Zhuo’s army besieges and does not attack, it will only take a few months, and I will definitely die when I run out of food.”

Now we must concentrate our elites as soon as possible and seek opportunities to break through in order to have a glimmer of life. ”

Yuan Shao and the others followed Cao Cao’s advice this time, quickly gathered the elites of all departments, and then took advantage of the night to find a place where Dong Zhuo’s troops were not very well defended, and forcibly broke out.

It’s just that when Yuan Shao and the others highlighted the encirclement, they looked back and counted the number of people, but found that there were only thousands of soldiers left behind them.

All the princes were silent, but there were nearly 100,000 troops before they attacked Zhongmu!

At this point, Yuan Shao and the others were greatly injured and had to return to Chen Liu to find another way.

And Luyang Yuan Shu and Sun Jian’s station, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian received the news that Yuan Shao and others were besieged in Mu, Sun Jian wanted to lead his troops to rescue, but was stopped by Yuan Shu.

To save Yuan Shao?

Yuan Shu said hehe.
