After a day and night of brutal fighting, the Battle of Cangting finally came to an end. Cao Cao's army won a complete victory, beheading 50,000 people, capturing 100,000 prisoners, and captured countless war horses, ordnance, flags, gongs and drums. When cleaning the battlefield, dead bodies were thrown into the In Weishui, the river surface was red for dozens of miles, and the downstream river channels were blocked. It was evident that the war was tragic!
After the battle, Cao Jun pursued the victory and occupied the Cangting camp that day, and then continued to advance northward. He encountered no resistance along the way, and successfully arrived at Yecheng two days later.
Yecheng - Thirteen miles from east to west, nine miles from north to south, with a circumference of 44 miles, with seven city gates, four droughts and three rivers, convenient transportation, a large population in the city, and vast hectares of fertile land outside the city, known as 'the largest city in Hebei' , is also the home base of the Yuan family. As long as this city is captured, the Northern Expedition will be half successful!
Unexpectedly, Cao Jun did not attack the city. He only sent a small group of cavalry to conduct reconnaissance and harassment. Then he set up camp, built barriers, dredged grain roads and put on a steady and steady attack posture. This is not surprising
First, Yecheng is a high city with deep ponds, no shortage of food and grass, and a complete defense system. It is not an easy task to conquer it, and a huge price will be paid. Naturally, we must prepare carefully!
Second, kill one thousand enemies and damage yourself eight hundred. In the battle of Cangting, Cao's army died 20,000 people and injured many people. It can be regarded as broken bones and muscles. It needs to be repaired. There are still hundreds of thousands more to fall. Soldiers and prisoners must also be adapted and used for their own use!
Considering the above two points, Cao Cao did not rush to attack the city. Instead, he stood firm and took his time, like a cunning python, slowly shrinking his body, causing the prey to panic, suffocate, and die and swallowed it in one last bite!
This tactic was very successful. Cao Jun was heavily besieged and Yecheng was in a desperate situation. The people were panicked and frightened three times a day. The people burned incense and worshiped the gods and prayed for safety. The officials flirted and contacted each other in private. Everyone knew that Hebei was about to change hands. To maintain prosperity and wealth, you must please your new master!
All of a sudden, officials, big and small, and heads of families were secretly sending letters, cooperating inside and outside; or they were looking for connections, building connections, and wholeheartedly defecting to Cao Ying. As for General Yuan, he had already been labeled "He is guilty of a heinous crime, I don't know him." Tag of!
In the dormitory of the General's Mansion, Yuan Shao's eyes were closed and his face was ashen. He was lying on his back on the soft tiger skin couch, motionless. He seemed to be still unconscious, but his rapid breathing and rolling eyes proved that he had woken up. !
After escaping back to Yecheng, Yuan Shao woke up, but he was unwilling to open his eyes, or in other words, he did not dare to face the facts. The Battle of Cangting was a complete defeat, with 150,000 men and horses dead, and 60,000 soldiers defected, Hebei If there are no more soldiers to fight, the building will collapse!
Hebei has declined to this point. As a commander, he has an unshirkable responsibility. Yuan Shao's heart is as sharp as a knife and he wishes he could die. But apart from his heartache, he is also reflecting on: Why did he fail? How could he be inferior to Cao Cao?
????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????: The Yuan family has former officials all over the world, and has the support of the gentry group. Cao Cao is discriminated against, so he can only work hard to win over the poor people!
In terms of strength: The Yuan family conquered the four states of Hebei lightly, with strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient money and food. Cao Cao was displaced, fighting for every city and county, and his family was never strong, and the lack of military rations was even more common!
On political influence
????????????????????
???????????????????
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
In all aspects, after repeated comparisons, Yuan Shao has the upper hand. He is more than a match. If there is one thing he is inferior to Cao Cao, it is that he is 'wise, decisive and good at employing people! ¡¯
When I encounter major events, I am always quick to plan, so I miss good opportunities. The Chang'an Rebellion - I didn't welcome the emperor, the Huainan Battle - I didn't rescue Yuan Shu, the Guandu Battle - I didn't divide my troops to sneak attack on Xuchang there are simply too many. If I had seized the opportunity, the situation would not have been like this!
On the contrary, Cao Cao was wise and decisive, and had the courage to give it a go. He repeatedly seized opportunities and used small means to fight big, defeated powerful enemies from all walks of life, and strengthened his own power. In addition, he also had capable subordinates, Xiao Yi led the army to fight, Guo Jia strategized, Xun Yu and Xun You raised food and grass but he had none
No, I also have assistants, Tian Feng, Jushou, Feng Ji, Xu You, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Chunyu Qiong They are either clever and clever, or brave and good at fighting. Compared with Cao Ying's civil and military , not inferior at all. Where did they go?
 ??, but in his heart, he has always regarded himself as a nobleman of the Han family and adhered to the bottom line of morality. Even if he was about to die, he would not collude with the barbarians and ruin the Yuan family's family tradition!
Not only Yuan Shao, but other princes Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhang Lu, and even the cowards Liu Zhang and Liu Biao were unambiguous in their national interests. Even if they were defeated and died, they would not ask for help from foreigners!
In the original history, Eastern Wu conquered Shanyue, Western Shu conquered the Southern Barbarians, Northern Wei sent troops to the Xiongnu, Wuwan, and Xianbei They were all manifestations of national justice. It didn't matter whether the Han princes were beaten to death or alive. After all, they were all members of the same family. If any foreigner dares to stretch out his claws, no matter what, brothers work together to defeat the enemy first!
"Father, please calm down! Father, please calm down I will leave now Whoosh!"
As a beloved son, Yuan Shang has been pampered since he was a child and has never been touched by a finger. This time he was really frightened by his father. After dodging a teacup, he rolled out and crawled out. He really couldn't understand why he had colluded with Hu Lu again. How about it, it¡¯s better than losing your head, right?
"I am a hero who has never succumbed to others. How can he give birth to a weakling? The foundation of the four states of Hebei must not be passed on to a disobedient son. Come on, please send an envoy quickly to let the eldest son return to Yecheng and inherit the position of the head of the family ¡Cough! Cough!¡±
In the dormitory, Yuan Shao was yelling like a crazy old lion. Although his teeth were blunt, his majesty was not diminished, and he vowed not to be a traitor! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
