Take the system to become Uncle Liu

In Yanzhou, when the weather got warmer, Cao Cao issued the slogan that Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was being held hostage, and launched a massive attack, saying that he wanted to rescue the clansmen of the Han Dynasty and kill Kou Zhun, Meng Gong and others.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 6 troops to Yanzhou. With Sun Wu as the commander, his generals Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Pei Yuanqing, Dian Wei, and Guo Jia as his military adviser, marched towards Yanzhou mightily. The rest of the troops had to continue guarding Qingzhou to guard against Zhao Kuangyin. .

I don't know whether Sun Wu used his troops like a god, or the Yanzhou army was too weak. The Yanzhou army retreated at the first touch, and Cao Cao's army easily captured Taishan County, Jibei Kingdom, and Lu County, which made Cao Cao even more happy.

If I had known that Yanzhou was so weak, I could easily defeat the opponent. Why did I attack Zhao Kuangyin last year? Not only did I lose thousands of soldiers, but also countless food and grass.

Cao Cao also secretly rejoiced that he did not attack Jizhou. Although Liu Bei only had 2 people guarding Jizhou, if he attacked, there is a high probability that he could also capture it, but the consequences caused by this are not something he can bear at present. It is better to attack Yanzhou , The persimmon has to be picked softly.

Just when Cao Cao was silently calculating how long it would take to capture the entire Yanzhou, he suddenly heard a report from the front that he encountered enemy resistance in Wenshang County, and the vanguard general Pei Yuanqing failed to capture the opponent for a while.

Hearing that Pei Yuanqing didn't break through the opponent immediately this time, Cao Cao became interested on the spot. You must know that Pei Yuanqing broke through the city in three counties before.

"Who is the enemy guard this time, and how many people are guarding the city?"

"Returning to the lord, the enemy defender seems to be Meng Gong. The number of defenders is estimated to be about 8000, but Meng Gong only used 500 people to resist General Pei's attack this time."

Hearing his subordinate's answer, Cao Cao glanced at the other party in surprise, with an unbelievable expression on his face. You must know that Pei Yuanqing led an army of 5000, and the attack with ten times the strength was resisted by the other party. It seems that this Meng Gong He's not an ordinary person, he finally met his opponent.

When Cao Cao led the army to Wenshang County, he saw that Pei Yuanqing had already set up camp under the city. When he saw Cao Cao coming, he hurried forward and knelt down to plead guilty.

Cao Cao signaled that Pei Yuanqing got up and came to Wenshang County to observe. There were still signs of a great battle in front of the city. Many of his soldiers were still lying there and had not been pulled back. It can be seen from the battlefield that his army did not even have the head of the city. When he climbed up, he was repulsed.

His forward army did not carry siege equipment with the army, and it was normal to be repelled, so Cao Cao did not blame Pei Yuanqing, but looked at this small but extremely strong city with an expression of interest.

Cao Cao knew that Meng Gong was the commander-in-chief of the three armies in Yanzhou. He thought he would have to go to Yanzhou City to meet him, but he did not expect to meet him in Wenshang County. Cao Cao was very happy. If he was here, he would be defeated. The other party, then the rest of Yanzhou is nothing to worry about.

As soon as the army arrived, the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and the enemy army was waiting for work. It was the most inappropriate time to attack the city, so Cao Cao ordered the whole army to set up camp and wait for a night's rest before attacking.

At night, Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials gathered around the map of Yanzhou to study it carefully. It’s okay not to study it. After careful study, everyone fell silent. I thought Wenshang County was a small county town worth mentioning, but after looking at the entire map of Yanzhou Later, it was discovered that this Wenshang County happened to strangle the throat of its own army's grain and grass transportation.

Wenshang County is surrounded by flat plains, stretching as far as the eye can see, without any cover. There are continuous mountains in the north and south of this place, blocking the journey of our army, and it is impossible to detour, so my food and grass can only be in Wenshang County. Shipping around.

So Cao Cao and others felt Meng Gong's horror for a while. This man guarding this place is going to fight him here. It is impossible for his army to bypass Wenshang County. Attacked, an inadvertent self-army will be attacked by the enemy.

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to lead 5000 troops to bypass Wenshang County and head straight for Yanzhou City. Come to him to get rid of the bottom line. At that time, Meng Gong will be unable to look after each other, and he will definitely lose."

Seeing that everyone was lost in thought, Xiahou Dun stood up and begged Cao Cao no matter what.

Cao Cao looked at his cousin and smiled, and Guo Jia on the side also smiled and explained: "General Xiahou, it is reported that there are 4 soldiers in Yanzhou, 8000 in Wenshang County at the moment, and the remaining 3 are in the army. We don't know yet, even if you lead 2 troops to Yanzhou City, can the generals be able to attack Yanzhou City with these people? What if the food and grass run out at this time? "

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a while, but he didn't think too much. After thinking about it, he hesitated and said: "If the food and grass are gone, I will go to the nearby villages to collect food. I promise that the army will not run out of food."

"Nonsense, Yuan Rangxiu is going to talk nonsense. We are here to capture Yanzhou, not to destroy Yanzhou. If we say similar things again, we will be dealt with by military law."

Hearing Cao Cao's stern reprimand, Xiahou Dun shrank his neck, stood back silently and dared not say any more, let them think about these things, and just obey the order.

After Xiahoudun's pleading, the atmosphere in the camp eased a little. Sun Wu said slowly: "My lord, it is rumored in Yanzhou that Meng Gong's ability to lead troops is excellent. Why don't our army try to attack Wenshang County tomorrow to see if we can attack?" Next, if this Wenshang County is really difficult to capture, it's not too late to think of other ways."

Cao Cao nodded silently after listening to Sun Wu's words. The geographical location of Wenshang County is too important. If he can capture it, he must definitely capture it. Otherwise, Meng Gong is a time bomb behind him. It exploded.

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao’s camp was quiet, and there were occasional snoring sounds from the whole camp, but if you stood above the camp, you would find that most of the people were sleeping, but there were still about 7000 people sitting there. In the tent, the armor was not removed, the weapon was not put down, and it looked like it was on standby.

As the first ray of sunlight fell, the night gradually receded, and the sky gradually dawned. Cao Cao rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the tent, watching Xiahou Dun who was still standing at the door and patted him on the shoulder.

"Go down, let the night watch soldiers go to rest today. This Meng Gong is also strange. The army didn't come to attack the camp when it first arrived. It was useless to make myself wait all night."

Xiahoudun heard Cao Cao's order as if he had received an amnesty, and hurriedly called the soldiers to go to rest. Everyone was exhausted after a few days of driving, and they had to be on guard for another night. Even he couldn't stand it, let alone What about these soldiers.

After the soldiers had breakfast, Cao Cao led the army to Wenshang City. At this moment, there were hundreds of people standing on the top of the city. Seeing that the soldiers on the city were all concentrated, Cao Cao and Pei Yuanqing went to call for battle.

"Meng Gong is a rebel, you are the commander-in-chief of Yanzhou, but you actually rebelled and made trouble. My lord Cao Cao thought you were an offender and didn't want to hurt the people, so I asked you whether to surrender or not?"
