The Taiping Army won a great victory, killing nearly 30,000 enemies, and on average, each soldier who fought killed three enemies.

Although the surprise attack is a tactical application, the results are too shocking.

Yan Yan was the first person to get the result. He came to the hall with a happy face and reported to Gan Ning and Pang Tong.

"Hahahaha, military advisor, General Gan, the first battle made the Cao army fall into hush. It seems that Cao cào and Yuan Shao are just like that. It is simply a fantasy to want to enter Guanzhong."

Yan Yan sat down with a smile. The tea on the table was already cold, but he didn't care. After drinking it, he continued to drink several glasses happily, as if it was sweeter than fine wine.

Pang Tong and Gan Ning, who were sitting aside, seemed to be lowering their heads with great worries, looking thoughtful.

Yan Yan was in high spirits but received no response. The monk Zhang Er was confused and his eyes were circling back and forth on Gan Ning and Pang Tong, and asked suspiciously: "Why are the military advisors and generals not happy and worrying?"

Pang Tong and Gan Ning looked up at the same time, and they looked at each other. Pang Tong asked first: "General Gan, please tell me the whole process of the war in detail, and don't miss it at all."

Gan Ning first recalled it, and then told it without missing a trace. Then, Yan Yan also revealed the battle situation he saw and knew in detail.

After hearing this, Pang Tong closed his eyes and sighed, stood up silently from the seat, and walked out of the mén.

It took an hour before Pang Tong returned to the hall.

Gan Ning felt that Cao's army was defeated strangely.

It was not that Cao's army was defeated as if it had been arranged, but that Cao's army seemed to have no resistance at all.

They killed nearly 30,000 enemies, but that was nearly 30,000 corpses.

This is undoubtedly a false statement.

Gan Ning had a bold guess, but he didn't dare to make it clear because it was too nonsense.

Yan Yan couldn't figure out what the situation was now. He won the battle and won a big victory. Why did Gan Ning and Pang Tong seem to be unhappy?

The answer was not revealed until Pang Tong returned.

"Cao Thief is really cunning. He really wants to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

After Pang Tong returned, the first sentence he said to kneel down was this sigh.

Hearing Pang Tong say this, Yan Yan is unclear, but Gan Ning confirms his guess and asks tentatively: "Is this military advisor Cao cào deliberately letting these 50,000 troops die?"

Gan Ning's idea is like this. If Cao cào did not deliberately let the 50,000 troops die, then there is no reason they would win so easily and so unbelievable. Tool: No ads, full text, more

Pang Tong said with a wry smile: "Yes, not."

Victory was an unexpected event, and it could kill nearly 30,000 enemies, which made the Xiahou brothers flee directly and withdraw their troops, which was somewhat beyond Pang Tong's expectations.

According to Pang Tong's idea, it is already an incredible result to be able to kill nearly 10,000 enemies in the robbery camp. If Cao's army is a little weaker, the result will be expanded to 15,000, which is reasonable.

But now after getting an exaggerated number of killing enemies, Pang Tong was not happy but surprised.

If things are impermanent, there will be demons.

"Can the military advisor explain it to me? Why, and why not?"

When Gan Ning was young, he looked down on literati. Later, influenced by Guo Jia, he respected literati and wise men from the bottom of his heart.

Because warriors use swords to kill people, literati use hearts to kill people.

You can never underestimate scholars. They act ruthlessly and are absolutely unpredictable.

Pang Tong packed up his lost mood and said lightly: "I just checked it. Most of the fallen soldiers of the Cao army were older or thin. If I was not wrong, these 50,000 Cao soldiers were definitely not regular soldiers under Cao cào, but the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers recruited by Cao cào temporarily."

Gan Ning breathed a deep breath, while Yan Yan was stunned and asked back: "Cao sent such an army to fight? Isn't this seeking death?"

Pang Tong shook his head slightly and then said, "I'm afraid Cao cào didn't expect our army to dare to go out of the city to fight. After all, he was at the gate of 50,000 troops, and Wuguan only had 10,000 defenders. There were 200,000 Yuan Shao and 200,000 soldiers knocked on the gate. Cao cào thought that the lord would definitely do his best to defend Hangu Pass. Here, as long as the defenders did not reduce their troops to less than 5,000, they would just stick to it."

Gan Ning sighed, and the joy of victory was wiped out.

The one who won was not the regular army of Cao's army, but a miscellaneous army of old, weak, sick and disabled. They could not even be described as an army. They were just the weak among ordinary people who put on armor.

"The Cao thief encouraged Yuan Shao to come to attack Guanzhong. He sent 50,000 troops, which was probably something that Yuan Shao deliberately asked. Otherwise, Cao cào would not have the right to recruit such an army without combat power to paralyze Yuan Shao. This time, Cao cào won. No matter what the victory or defeat of Guanzhong, the strength of the lord and Yuan Shao would either be greatly reduced or delayed the pace of strength. However, Cao cào only used such a 50,000 miscellaneous army to exchange for several years or even longer-term benefits. Cao cào is worthy of being a hero of the world."

Pang Tong sighed.

He felt a lot of emotion in today's battle.

I thought I had cleared the motives and intentions of Cao cào and Yuan Shao, but I didn't expect that it was a game of chess.

Cao cào had more troops a few years ago than he now had 100,000 troops.

At that time, the Qingzhou army was surrendered, and Cao cào had more than 100,000 troops, and even

i Nearly 200,000.

But Cao cào had to bear the pain of disarmament at that time because he could not afford to support so many troops.

Later, he took over Yuzhou and promoted military farming, and he secured 100,000 troops.

For Cao cào, recruiting soldiers is not a problem, the problem is whether they can afford these soldiers.

Therefore, it is easy to recruit soldiers, and it is even easier to recruit an old, weak and disabled soldier.

The intention is very obvious. If young and strong men are recruited to serve as soldiers, these people must be built into new troops, and a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers can be recruited. It is impossible for Cao cào to support them and equip them.

There is only one purpose, Yumu Hunzhu, and he replaced the pillars. He used these 50,000 miscellaneous troops to paralyze Yuan Shao, and at the same time stationed troops on the east side of Wuguan. Cao cào's strategic command to the Xiahou brothers was to build momentum without siege.

As long as you station troops here, you can intimidate Wu Pass.

If Gan Ning Yan Yan led his army to rob the camp at night, and waited for Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to build solid walls and build defensive measures, outsiders would probably not know the reality of Cao's camp at all.

Pang Tong suddenly realized that he still looked down on the heroes of the world.

Cao cào can take risks, but the situation of the Guanzhong battle was set by Cao cào, so how could he put himself in danger?

If 50,000 troops were transferred from Xuchang, can Xuchang, who only 50,000 troops remain, defend against Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's joint attack?

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are all fickle villains who are profit-oriented. Will Cao cào really give them an opportunity to take advantage of?

After realizing it, Pang Tong secretly blamed himself. If he could think of this, he would definitely not have sent Guo Jia urgently to request reinforcements.

Now, no clever backfire, this victory will definitely not be hurt, but the Taiping soldiers are suffering from the slaughter of the victory.

o The suffering.

"Military advisor, look at the next step, how will Cao cào and Yuan Shao deal with it? Will there be any danger in Wuguan?"

Gan Ning didn't know Pang Tong's inner monologue, and even if he knew it, he didn't take it seriously. He looked at the overall situation and his personal feelings were insignificant. No matter what Cao cào's original intention was, the next strategy was the focus.

Let the past pass, and the present and the future are the major plans related to life and death.

Pang Tong was shocked, and after a while, he still said inconsistency: "Cao's army was defeated by Wuguan. When Yuan Shao learned about it, he would either scold Cao for his ineffective combat. In order to prevent Yuan Shao from withdrawing his troops in anger, Cao would either turn to Yuan Shao to fight Wuguan, or reorganize his troops to come to Wuguan again. In any case, Wuguan will face a real strong enemy next."

Pang Tong's words were just speculations, and if Cao cào was here, he would have sneered.

Cao cào will definitely say to Pang Tong: You don’t know Yuan Benchu ​​at all

When Yuan Shao's troops arrived in Luoyang and when he sent Zhang He and Chunyu Qiong's troops to hit Hangu Pass, a great battle between Yuan Shao and Guanzhong was inevitable.

The Cao army's defeat in Wuguan was just giving Yuan Shao a chance to ridicule and mock Cao cào, but it would not have made Yuan Shao's idea of ​​withdrawing his troops at all.

Because Cao cào is not the one who controls the overall situation, Yuan Shao thought he was the one.

Cao cào's defeat has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Since that's the case, then I'd better send an urgent report to my lord and ask the lord to decide the next move of the Jinfan Army."

Gan Ning said in a state of turmoil.

Yan Yan's ten thousand soldiers and horses must be in charge of Wuguan no matter what. Now, only Gan Ning's Jinfan Army is mobilized.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan withdrew their troops in a panic. The two brought their personal guards to Luoyang to meet Cao cào in person, and tied up and apologized for their own crimes.

Cao cào sat in the main seat without anger, and beat his fingers rhythmically on the table. Xun You and Cheng Yu knelt on both sides of the hall without saying a word.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan tied themselves up tightly, knelt in front of Cao Cào, lowered their heads without saying a word, and felt ashamed.

"Okay, okay, you lost well. Hahaha, Miaocai, Yuan Rang, you have made another contribution."

Cao cào burst into laughter without any warning.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan opened their eyes wide and looked at Cao cào in surprise.

"Lord, if the lord is concerned about the past relationship, there is no need to do so. The last general is the defeated general and will be subject to the lord's military law."

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan thought Cao cào could not bear to punish them.

They followed Cao cào since he was young, and Xiahou Yuan even helped Cao cào to punish him.

Cao cào's body tilted, sat lazily, closed his eyes, stroked the beard beside his mouth with one hand, and said inexplicably: "My army was defeated in Wuguan. What do you think Yuan Shao would react?"

The Xiahou brothers were dizzy by Cao cào's abnormal behavior, and could not understand what Cao cào was thinking at this moment.

Cheng Yu has followed Cao cào for many years, and now he can guess Cao cào’s thoughts, but he doesn’t point it out and smiles without saying anything.

"Master? What does this have to do with Yuan Shao?"

Xiahou Yuan asked in a daze.
