In addition to storming Cao Jun's camp, Qu Yi also has another way. That is to withdraw his troops for a certain distance. As long as they avoid Cao Jun's range, Cao Cao's catapults will naturally have no effect. As long as Cao Jun cannot suppress Yuan Jun, there will naturally be no What's the problem?
However, with this method, Qu Yi naturally did not dare to tell Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops. That would obviously be a slap in Yuan Shao's face. Yuan Shao came to kill him so aggressively, but if he withdrew his troops before long to avoid his attack, Yuan Shao would definitely be attacked. The ridicule of the princes of the world.
Moreover, Qu Yi is also reluctant to part with the camp he built. If he abandons such a strong camp and withdraws his troops, this is obviously not what Qu Yi wants to see. In addition to fighting for follow-up strength in the war, morale is also a particularly important point that determines the outcome of the war.
If the stalemate continues like this, Yuan Jun may lose some momentum, but it is obviously better than withdrawing. Once Yuan Jun withdraws, not to mention anything else, the morale of the tens of thousands of Yuan Jun soldiers who have newly arrived for reinforcements will immediately increase greatly. .
People traveled thousands of miles to come to support, but no fighting took place. Yuan Jun withdrew in disgrace. What did the soldiers think?
However, for Yuan Jun, withdrawing his troops is obviously the best way. Currently, Qu Yi only has these two ways in mind. He is thinking of other things, and he is really powerless. Even if he is really the God of War, he cannot have all the options. The battle is difficult to win.
As the saying goes, one punch is hard to beat with four hands. Lu Bu gained great fame when he broke into Hulao Pass, but in the end he was defeated by the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Who was that? He was already known as the God of War, but the final result He was still beaten away, so sometimes the war does not belong to one person.
"What, is there a time when our invincible General Qu Yi is at his wits' end?" Looking at Qu Yi, who had not spoken for a long time, Guo Tu was naturally very happy. Although he had a slight smile on the surface, but inside the tent, Everyone knows that he has a hidden smile and is an out-and-out villain.
But the more such a person is, the more difficult it is to deal with him. This kind of person often does one thing in front of his face and behind his back. If he really wants to plot against someone, he doesn’t even know how sexy that person is, so it’s better not to offend such a villain. good.
Everyone in Yuan Jun thought so, but Qu Yi obviously didn't care about the villain Guo Tu. He looked at Guo Tu coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "So what if I am really poor in skills? Do you know this?" Solution.”
The method of repaying others with their own methods is obviously very effective. Guo Tu himself is not a person who is good at marching and fighting, so this problem is obviously extremely difficult for him.
But at this time, someone suddenly spoke, "I think I have an immature idea." Everyone turned around and found that this person was Gao Lan.
Gao Lan is a general as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and he is obviously stronger than Yan Liang, Wen Chou. After all, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and both are just reckless men, but Gao Lan is indeed a man who is good at commanding troops.
When Yuan Shao heard Gao Lan's words, he immediately looked at him. Qu Yi showed a slightly disdainful expression. He didn't have any good ideas, so he didn't believe that Gao Lan could come up with any good ideas. Qu Yi's expression was obvious to Gao Lan. Seeing this, he returned a provocative look, and then stepped forward and said: "Cao's army throws stones at our military camp every day, which is nothing more than damaging the morale of our army."
"Through these days of observation, I found that Cao Jun's slingshot only has a range of about 300 steps. If it is any farther, it will be difficult for Cao Jun to reach it."
"Obviously, such a powerful siege machine can't be easily slacked off. In this case, our army can just leave these few hundred steps free and let Cao's army smash it, and I only need to set up an extra layer of fence. Naturally, Out of sight and out of mind, Cao Jun can't hit my family, so how can he damage the morale of our army."
Yuan Shao frowned and thought about something. Gao Lan's words had a vague intention of retreating, but Yuan Shao thought for a moment and only retreated a hundred steps. Obviously there was not a big problem. Moreover, an extra layer of wall was added. Obviously there is an extra layer of protection.
"This matter depends on what Wangtai said!" Obviously, Yuan Shao is still very satisfied with Gao Lan's strategy. After all, this problem has troubled him for a long time, and now it has finally been solved, which means that a big stone is pressing on his chest. After being taken away, Yuan Shao suddenly felt that his breathing became much easier.
At this time, Qu Yi obviously regretted it. If he had known that Cao Cao was not opposed to a strategic retreat, he would obviously not lose to Gao Lan. However, Qu Yi still did not take Gao Lan seriously, as long as he could win again A big victory and this little bit of momentum will make up for it sooner or later.
However, although Qu Yi's idea is full of confidence, it is obviously impossible to realize it in the short term. Now that Cao Jun and Yuan Jun have entered the stalemate stage of the war, it is obviously very difficult to make some breakthrough progress.
Now both sides have not found an opportunity to fight. Both Cao Jun and Yuan Jun are firmly settled in the camp and dare not go out. After all, no one can make mistakes at this time, as long as someone makes any mistakes at this time And if it is discovered by the opponent, it will be a tragedy of failure.
Whether it is the camps of Cao Jun or Yuan Jun, the defensive capabilities of both sides are quite strong, so neither side wants to take the initiative to attack.
Although there are many people on Yuan Shao's side, Yuan Shao obviously knows that although Guandu is the last defensive position of Cao's army, he still has Xuchang City in hand. Today's Xuchang City can be regarded as the capital of a country, although Yuan Shao does not believe that it has as much power as Xuchang As prosperous as it is, its defensive capabilities obviously cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, Xuchang City still has a record. Lu Bu tried hard to attack Xuchang City for a long time but failed. Although there are elements of Zhao Fei in it, it is still difficult to conceal that Xuchang City is a majestic city. Of course, there is a particularly important point. Today's Baima The two camps with Guandu had already suffered heavy losses, so how could Yuan Shao not be cautious when facing Xuchang City.
Therefore, Yuan Shao did not dare to lose too many Cao troops in Guandu, otherwise, he would really have no choice but to look at the city and sigh. With a small number of troops, he would never be able to shake the mighty city of Xuchang City.
Yuan Jun did not want to take the initiative to attack the camp, and Cao Jun naturally did not want to take the initiative. After all, Cao Jun's own troops were weaker than Yuan Jun, and Yuan Jun's camp was well divided. Even a sneak attack was obviously an impossible task.
The two armies fell into a stalemate, and this stalemate lasted for three months.
Three months were very leisurely for Zhao Fei, but he had been having headaches all the time during these three months. Then, the scouts he sent out came to him with news that surprised him, that is, they No granaries belonging to Yuan Jun were found in Wuchao.
Regarding this point, Zhao Fei felt that he was somewhat panicked. If there was no way to attack Wuchao by surprise, then Cao Jun would obviously lose the opportunity to win by surprise. Without such an opportunity, Cao Jun's battle would have to be very dangerous.
Secondly, the war entered a stalemate stage, which was undoubtedly a torturous process for Cao Jun. Although Yuan Jun's supply display was longer than Cao Jun's, Yuan Shao's overall strength was strong. He monopolized the surrounding land by himself, and his population was obviously not comparable to Cao Cao's. .
The strong rear defense reduced Cao Jun's advantage a lot, but this is obviously not the most important thing. For Cao Jun, the most important thing by far is the issue of food and grass.
On that day, Zhao Fei sent troops to help Yuan Shao, and the reward was a lot of food and grass. However, despite this, Cao Jun's food and grass still felt that he could not make ends meet. However, there was nothing that could be done. Although Cao Jun's territory expanded very quickly, this could not be done. They are all gained from one war after another.
When it comes to what we are fighting for, one thing is absolutely indispensable, and that is food and grass. It can be said that except for the food and grass extorted by Zhao Fei, there is obviously no balance in Cao Jun's food depot. And through Wen Ruo, it is said that The latest news is that these grains and fodder are obviously running low.
Without food and grass, Cao Fei obviously did not have the courage to continue fighting. No matter how strong the fighting spirit of Cao Jun's soldiers was, and how strong their bodies were. As long as he was hungry for three to five days, Zhao Fei did not believe that any ordinary person would be able to survive. He has the ability to stab to death the soldiers of Cao's army who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Zhao Fei wanted to send people to harass Yuan Jun's supply line, but Yuan Jun obviously did not give Zhao Fei this opportunity. Yuan Jun attached great importance to the supply line. Of course, this was not because of Yuan Shao, but entirely because of Qu Yi.
Qu Yi is a qualified commander. He obviously knows that Cao Jun will make small moves constantly, so his defense of himself and the supply line has reached an astonishing level. It is obviously difficult for Zhao Fei to find opportunities.
To sum up, Zhao Fei had quite a headache today. Of course, it was not just Zhao Fei who had a headache. Cao Cao was obviously more helpless than Zhao Fei. As the sun rose, Cao Cao kept frowning, although he still looked the same. His domineering attitude was exposed, but Zhao Fei could clearly feel that Cao Cao's momentum had weakened a lot.
Zhao Fei knew that the reason why Cao Cao was like this was due to his current predicament. Sometimes Cao Cao would secretly tell himself that returning to Xuchang was the wisest choice.
The walls of Xuchang City are thick and the defense power is amazing. With such a majestic city in hand, it is obviously much stronger than the Guandu camp here. However, whenever I have this idea, another idea will try to stop me. And he kept telling himself that the possibility of withdrawing the troops was extremely slim.
Although Zhao Fei knew the sorrow in Cao Cao's heart, he had no solution. He had high hopes for Guandu, but God played a huge joke on him at this time. There was no granary for Yuan Jun in Wuchao.
Originally, the surprise attack on Wuchao was the key to the victory of the Battle of Guandu. Zhao Fei was obviously full of confidence in this, but such a blow obviously left him helpless. History has obviously undergone tremendous changes due to his disturbance. For the next Zhao Fei really didn't dare to speculate on the trend, so he felt quite helpless.
