"Report, Yuan Shao's army is moving westward, and the goal is not yet determined." The next day, the spy came over to report and said that Yuan Shao's army's main force began to move westward, and the purpose is unknown.

"Looking west..." Cao Cao looked at the map. If Yuan Shao continued to go west, he would go to the Zhongmu area. However, before that, there was a location that she cared more, "Is it because she planned to camp in Guandu?"

It means the same as Yanjinkou, which is an important ferry crossing north. Compared with Yanjinkou, the water flow is smoother and is the best place to cross the river. The most important thing is that it is also very suitable for buoyant bridges here!

After the pontoon bridge was built, Yuan Shaojun had continuous energy sources, transporting goods from the north bank and soldiers came. At the same time, it was not far from Hanoi County, and it was very convenient to support it in the past. It was also accessible from Yanjinkou, so you can come to support it at any time.

"If there is one, it is very close to Xuchang through Zhongmu and Zhongfu..." Xun You looked at the map and probably knew Yuan Shao's intentions.

If Cao Cao dared to send troops from other places, then Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to go south to Xuchang. As long as the emperor was in her hands, the title of righteousness would naturally fall into her hands. Without the title of righteousness, the disadvantages of the court will be highlighted now.

Cao Cao's full power has the advantage of being completely in power, that is, even if the emperor falls into the hands of the other party, she still has enough troops, and even if she loses the name of justice, she can control all over the place.

If it doesn't work now, if you lose your righteousness, it is difficult to say whether the county magistrates and county magistrates in various places can still obey her orders, especially among the legions, there are many generals who are not her direct line. It is difficult to say whether these generals will listen to the "morning court" or her.

So Cao Cao must protect Xuchang, because Xuchang, especially His Majesty, has become her biggest weakness now!

"Yuan Shao really knows how to choose the place for the decisive battle..." Cao Cao felt a headache, "The key is that we have to accommodate her..."

"General, why don't I send troops directly to harass Yuan Shao's army!" Ma Chao was out of line, and the Qiang cavalry under her command were all good at speed.

"We Baima Yicheng can do this!" Zhao Yun came out of the list. This was not only to allow them from Youzhou Army to gain a firm foothold in the military, but also to allow Gongsun Zan to be valued by the court.

After all, when people talk about Baima Yicong, the first thing they think of is that this unit was once an elite unit under Gongsun Zan.

"You can try it, but remember not to be aggressive!" Cao Cao thought for a while and thought that if he could consider it, it would be no big problem after all, it would be a harassment. The key is that you should not make the mistake of Wen Chou, otherwise you would probably repeat the same mistake.

"Yes!" The two of them naturally knew what Cao Cao meant and immediately replied solemnly.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao was not easy. After two days of discussion, the four military advisors finished the discussion and decided to transfer the decisive battle site to Guandu. At the same time, they set up a floating bridge here to build a camp. On the one hand, it facilitates the transportation of materials, and on the other hand, it can better resist Cao Cao.

At the same time, just like Cao Cao was worried, after setting up the formation here, Cao Cao would not be able to sway around, otherwise there would be problems in Xuchang. Guo Tu also analyzed that Cao Cao's military rations would not be enough, especially when Sun Quan also began to go north.

Now that the war has begun here, there is no movement there. If you want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, you cannot be so cheap. In other words, Yuan Shao's army is currently in a confrontation with Cao's army until Sun Quan crosses the river and heads north.

Taking advantage of this time, we can still recruit a group of soldiers, about 30,000 to 50,000 people, train in advance, and throw them into the battlefield if necessary.

The confrontation stage is actually really good. It can be used for training troops, and there will be no sudden decisive battle or something. With the city defense, it is not easy for the opponent to attack.

The only concern is that the new rock throwing car with a range of half higher than that of ordinary rock throwing cars. Tian Feng believes that Cao's army may be put into the battlefield. But that doesn't matter. In Guo Tu's view, no matter how powerful this rock throwing car is, it needs to be built and used. During this period, it will be possible to send elite troops to destroy it.

"Report, there are two cavalrymen who follow us!" Just as the army was moving, a scout came to report.

"Do you know who is commanding the troops?" Yuan Shao asked casually.

"The flag says Zhao Hema, and the horses used by the two cavalry are all white horses!" the scout replied.

"One branch should be the White Horse Yicong under Gongsun Zan's former command. The general of Zhao should be Zhao Yun. He has also caused us a lot of trouble before." Feng Ji immediately reacted, "As for the other branch, it is unknown that the more famous general of the Ma surname under Cao Cao's command does not seem to have..."

"But go to Liangzhou!" Tian Feng thought for a while, "In today's world, one of the more famous white horse cavalry is Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong, and the other is the Qiang cavalry under Ma Teng. This cavalry is composed of white horse Qiang, but the commander... is Ma Teng's eldest daughter Ma Chao!"

"Ma Chao is under Cao Cao's command?" Yuan Shao frowned immediately after hearing this, "Since that's the case, can it be said that Ma Teng has already joined Cao Cao? In this way, in the battle of Hanoi, wouldn't we still have to face Ma Teng's troops?"

"You need to write a letter to Governor Gao and tell him to be careful!" Guo Tu immediately left the list.

"Indeed... OK, let's not talk about those things for now, let the orders continue and be careful of the enemy's attack! At the same time, let the crossbow soldiers drive away these annoying flies!" Yuan Shao waved his hand and immediately issued an order.

She now has not many cavalry under her command, at most three or five thousand, but there are many crossbow soldiers, six thousand. Spreading everywhere, preparing two thousand crossbow soldiers in each place is enough to make the other party afraid. But this is the case, I am afraid that I have to stop and stop before I can reach Guandu.

"Lord, why don't I go to fight to meet them?" Zhang He left the line, and Gao Lan immediately left the line.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are defeated by him. If you go out again, would you still have to provide the opponent with a record?" Yuan Shao does not intend to take the initiative to fight now. Gao Lan has three thousand cavalry under his command, and as for Zhang He, she has three thousand infantry under her command.

Thinking of her infantryman, Yuan Shao thought for a while: "Save the ace until necessary before using it!"

"Yes!" The two of them were a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's words, but after listening to her additions, they felt a little better.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun came to harass him, but the other party kept fighting back with crossbow arrows. His army could not gain any advantage. In the end, he had no choice but to harass him, but he could not get close and returned without success.

"It doesn't matter, at least we know that Yuan Shao has a lot of crossbow soldiers, which is a good result!" Cao Cao was not surprised by this, and even was a little surprised. The more they knew about the enemy's situation, the more confident they were to win.

After two days like this, Yuan Shao finally arrived at Guandu and started to set up a formation there. At the same time, the remaining Hebei navy also came to camp here and helped build a floating bridge.

During this period, the Han navy also raided, but Gan Ning was not there, so it was impossible to cause effective damage. After all, Cao Cao still lacked excellent naval generals.
