Chapter 490: The Battle of Guandu (6)
Yuan Shao has had mixed feelings recently.
Fortunately, the hermit finally came with good news, once again breaking the Cao Army's water division, restoring the smooth grain road, and resolving the current food shortage crisis. The worry was that Han Xun led the army to attack and disturb the Cao army's grain route quite failed, and was defeated by the Cao army, and was forced to flee back to Aocang.
What's even more infuriating is that the military information sent by Han Xun shows that it is very likely that the number one fierce general under Lu Yao's account is the vulture bone, and there may even be a rebel general Zhang Jaw.
In this regard, Yuan Shao's mood was terrible, and he repeatedly asked if he had found out where Lu Yao was hiding. Where did Tian Feng and the others guess that Lu Yao was now on the opposite side, happy and happy. In the face of the lord's questioning, no one can give an answer.
Now I don't have time to take care of Han Xun's side, and the battle situation on Guandu's side has become white-hot. Players from both camps are fighting to the death. They were more concerned about the battlefield on this side than spending energy to find a Lu Yao who was deliberately hiding.
"Lord, it doesn't matter where King Zhuya is now. How to avoid the re-interruption of the grain route is an urgent matter. Frustrated with Yuan Shao's murderous gaze, he admonished in a deep voice.
In the absence of the hermit, the iron-blooded overlord had taken the opportunity to store grain for Yuan Shao in Wuchao in history, but was successfully attacked by Cao Cao, which led to the fiasco of the Battle of Guandu, and advised Yuan Shao to set up another grain storage point.
Yuan Shao was indecisive, and when he heard that Cao Cao had turned the tables like this, he immediately accepted the advice of the iron-blooded overlord, and set up another grain storage point despite the bitter advice of Tian Feng and other strategists, relying on the smooth grain road to barely maintain the consumption of the whole army. But after the previous crisis when Cao's army blocked the river and cut off the grain route, he hesitated again.
In order to ensure that the whole army does not run out of food, it is necessary to increase the amount of food stockpiled. However, the terrain of the previous grain storage point was not good, and the climate was not suitable. It is okay to hoard and supply the whole army with grain and grass for ten days and half a month, but it will be dangerous to have more. Looking around Yangwu, only Wuchao has a suitable climate and excellent terrain, which is the most suitable for grain storage and more convenient for grain transportation.
Do you want to store food in Wuchao?
Yuan Shao hesitated, simply threw this question to Tian Feng and other strategists, and told the historical facts that the iron-blooded overlord said.
Tian Feng was furious on the spot, ignoring Yuan Shao's face, and angrily reprimanded the iron-blooded overlord for his own selfish desires and abandoning the overall situation. If the grain storage point was set up in Wuchao earlier, how could the grain route be cut off by Cao Jun's sailors, and he almost fell into the crisis of running out of grain.
The strategists such as Fu Zhu were also heartbroken, and they all said that the iron-blooded overlord was extremely evil, and almost ruined the good situation of Yuan Jun. At the same time, they were glad that the hermit once again broke the Cao Army's water division, restored the smooth flow of grain routes, and resolved the crisis of food shortage.
There is no harm without contrast.
So the iron-blooded overlord was tragic, and Yuan Shao, who was eager to calm down the anger of the public, couldn't help but say that he pushed out the gate to behead the public, and then sent a head.
The iron-blooded overlord conferred the head, Tian Feng and other strategists were angry, and they worked together to suggest setting up a grain storage point in Wuchao and arranging heavy troops to prevent Cao Cao from leading the army to sneak attack.
Yuan Shao immediately agreed, and ordered Gao Lan, the number one general under his command, to personally lead the army to Wuchao to set up defenses and protect the grain and grass of the whole army. He was really afraid, and Cao Cao cut off his own grain again. If you don't have food, you're waiting to die.
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
Just after arranging the Wuchaotun grain point, Yuan Shao received an urgent request for help from Yecheng, saying that the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou took advantage of him to go south to destroy Cao, raised troops to attack Yecheng, and shouted the slogan that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand.
Yuan Shao was shocked and angry.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was extinguished, the remnants of the sins in various places were still not cleared. This is an objective fact, and there is no room for self-deception. But it was the first time that such a blatant assault on the city had taken place. Yuan Shao didn't expect that he would be the first victim at all.
It's going to be fatal.
This time he went south, Yuan Shao can be described as a lion fighting a rabbit, and he did his best. Although there are still defenders in Hebei, there are not many. Yecheng was besieged, and he even choked his seven inches.
"The remnants of the Yellow Turban dare to bully me!" Yuan Shao was furious on the spot.
Tian Feng and other civil and military forces all changed color. There is one person here, and everyone knows that the family background of their lord is all in Yecheng. The Young Emperor and the Empress Dowager He have nothing to do, even if there is only one city and one place left, they can rise again. Yecheng must not afford to lose.
But who can save it?
Yuan Shao forced himself to calm down and thought about it, Emma was in a groove, and there was no one available. Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in Baimapo. Gao Ran had to sit in the black nest to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack. And Zhang Jaw switched to Lu Yao early. In the past, the four courtyard pillars are now left with a single seedling, where is there a general who can be independent.
"It's better to leave it to the stranger to save Ye City." Tian Feng pondered for a moment and proposed a solution that was not a solution.
Yuan Shao hesitated.
The Predator has just been used to appease the anger of the public, and he will definitely not be used. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the Iron Blood Overlord to turn to the Yellow Turban Remnant in a fit of rage. And the hermit gave him a pretty good impression, and he made great contributions, but he couldn't afford to lose the grain road, and he had to continue to sit in town.
"My lord, I thought that the iron-blooded overlord could lead the army to guard the grain road, and the hermit would lead the army to aid Yecheng." After thinking about it, he proposed another solution.
Yuan Shao frowned.
He was really not at ease with the Predator. In case the iron-blooded overlord defects and cuts off the grain route, the whole army will have to face a food shortage crisis, which is equivalent to returning to the original point.
Frustrated and not in a hurry, he explained in an orderly manner, saying that the rear felt that the grain road was cut off, which almost led to the lack of grain in the front, and deliberately increased the transportation of grain and grass. Cao's naval division was newly defeated, and it did not recover its combat strength so quickly. The hermit can immediately rush to Yecheng to relieve the siege, which is at least half the time. By the time the Iron Overlord led his army to the ferry, the Black Nest had already stockpiled enough grain and grass for the entire army for three months. Even if the iron-blooded overlord defects, it is enough to send troops over to clear it up, so simple.
Yuan Shao believed it, and immediately ordered the hermit to rush to Yecheng to relieve the siege immediately, and at the same time ordered the iron-blooded overlord to personally order the Inhuman army to guard the grain route.
Two orders were given, and it happened that the Iron Blood Overlord had just crossed the river and received orders at the same time as the hermit. Knowing that the hermit would lead the army to Yecheng to relieve the siege, but he was going to take over the hermit's work to protect the grain road, he was angry in his heart.
Lao Tzu was beheaded for some reason. But you meow well, Yuan Shao went to the pole to send gong. What is the remnant of the Yellow Turban? A group of bandits, bandits, a rabble. I don't know if I'm going to pick up a bargain.
However, the situation is stronger than people.
The Predator had to pinch his nose and take the order. It's also a good way to protect the grain road, which is more or less a big contribution. After the war, he was also indispensable. So after he received the order, he immediately withdrew all his soldiers and horses from the battlefield and brought them to garrison here.
That's the key.
Guandu's side has become a meat grinder. The daily loss makes him feel so distressed, but he can't help it. On the other side, Cangyue, they also played with anger. This side is weak, and that side has to fight back, and in order to win the final victory, we have to fight, and we can't help it.
Take advantage of this opportunity to jump out and avoid bigger losses.
At this time, the hermit had just landed on the north shore and suddenly received a private message from Lu Yao.
