Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, I revealed to Liu Bei that I was a time traveler

Chapter 153

Liu Bei and Pang Tong noticed the inconspicuous place on the sand table.

Originally, with the level of this official crossing, it was not enough to be marked on the sand table, but Xiao Yuan specially told him to mark this official crossing before making the sand table.

Only then did the two understand that this small Guandu turned out to be the place where Yuan Cao fought a decisive battle as determined by Xiao Yuan.

"Changsu Military Division, why did Cao Cao retreat to Guandu?"

Liu Bei hadn't seen the way out yet.

Xiao Yuan didn't answer, and looked at Pang Tong with a smile: "Shiyuan, tell me, why?"

Pang Tong stared at the topography of the sand table, muttered silently, and gradually realized his eyes.

"I look at the terrain of this Guandu, although it is located on the plain, there is no danger to defend, but the surrounding water network is dense. "

"This Guandu port is surrounded by water on three sides, the north is Guandu Shui, the west is Putianze, the east is Zhongmuze, and the middle is only a few miles wide and more than 20 miles long open land, which can be attacked by the Yuan army. "

Such terrain was naturally conducive to Cao Cao's concentration of troops to deploy defensive formations, so as to offset the advantage of Yuan's large number of troops. "

"That's why you concluded that Cao Cao would retreat to Guandu and fight with Yuan Shao?"

Feng Xiao deserves to be a Feng Yan, and after Xiao Yuan clicked a little, he quickly saw the advantages of this Guandu.

Xiao Yuan nodded and praised: "Shi Yuan's wisdom is really extraordinary." "

The commander of the Soviet army made fun of it. "

"If it weren't for you, how could I see the mystery of this official ferry, I am really ashamed. "

How dare Pang Tong be praised by Xiao Yuan, he was busy with self-deprecation.

Liu Bei suddenly remembered something: "I remember, in the information sent back by the previous detail, it was indeed mentioned that Cao Cao mobilized the people to build a barrier at Guandu, and it turned out that he had already selected Guandu as the place for the decisive battle!"

"In fact, Cao Cao chose to retreat to Guandu, the terrain advantage is only one aspect, and the most important thing is that this place is close to Xudu!"

Xiao Yuan picked up the bamboo pole and gestured to the sand table again.

"Guandu is only more than 100 miles away from Xudu, and choosing to station a large army here can greatly shorten the supply line of Cao's army, and in turn lengthen the grain route of Yuan's army. "

In this way, in the future strategic stalemate, Cao Cao will be able to send a light army to constantly attack Yuan Shao's grain routes, but Yuan Shao will not be able to destroy Cao Cao's supply lines. "

"The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!"

"Grain, grass and military supplies are the most important weight in determining the battle of Yuan Cao!"

Xiao Yuan also pointed out the key to the decisive victory.

"Well, what the military advisor said is extremely true, Cao Cao chose to retreat to Guandu, and there was indeed a consideration for the convenience of transporting grain." "

"It's still the long Soviet military division that is thoughtful, but I'm not careful enough, and I'm ashamed. "

Pang Tong laughed at himself with emotion, and added a little admiration to Xiao Yuan in his eyes.

"It seems that the battle of Yuan Cao can also be called the battle of Guandu. "

"Since this battle is under your control, how should we act according to the opinion of the military advisor?"

Liu Bei nodded slightly, looking at Xiao Yuan.

"It's easy. "

"What the lord wants to do is to take advantage of Yuan Cao's death to quickly promote the government military system and the Juntian system in various states to prepare for the Northern Expedition in the near future. "

At the same time, the lord also has to transfer grain and grass to the front line of Xiangyang in advance, and at least enough grain and grass for half a year of the army of 100,000 troops must be stored. "

"As for the rest, that is, eat and drink, nourish your spirits, and wait for Yuan Shao to cripple Cao Cao, and then let's clean up Yuan Shaobei. "

Xiao Yuan's face was relaxed and indifferent.

Liu Bei laughed: "Okay, just listen to the military advisor, let's eat and drink well, and wait to clean up Yuan Shao!"

And at this time.

Pang Tong suddenly asked his soul:

"Long Soviet Army Division, lord. "

"Although Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, what if Cao Cao wins more with less and wins Yuan Shao?"

Liu Bei's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Long Soviet Military Division, Shi Yuan's concerns are not unreasonable. "

"You also said that Cao Cao's eloquence is far better than Yuan Shao. "

"If Cao Cao wins this battle, what should we do?"

Liu Bei's brows furrowed slightly, and he was also a little worried.

Lao Liu finally asked the most critical question.

"Don't worry, with me, Cao Cao can't win against Yuan Shao!"

Xiao Yuan's words were playful, and he glanced at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei saw Xiao Yuan's hint, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's get here first for today's military discussion, let's disperse." "

Pang Tong and the others had no choice but to retreat.

Xiao Yuan stayed. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Changsu Military Division, could it be that in the battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao really won Yuan Shao?"

Liu Bei understood Xiao Yuan's eyes, and as soon as the Wolong Phoenix Chick left, he immediately asked.

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Cao Cao did win this battle!"

"Although Yuan Shao has all kinds of shortcomings, but after all, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, I really can't think of it, how can Yuan Shao lose this battle?"

Lao Liu's eyes were full of puzzlement.

According to the normal script, Cao Cao did win this battle. "

"From the perspective of our later afterthoughts, Yuan Shao lost the battle of Guandu, and countless reasons for defeat can be found. "

"What Yuan Shao is so scheming, what internal contradictions are numerous, why Yuan Shao didn't personally save the nest at the critical moment..."

In short, the loser is the dish, and the dish is the original sin. "

"But I always think that Cao Cao's victory in the battle of Guandu was purely accidental. "

Xiao Yuan threw out his own spectators.

Liu Bei became more and more curious, and hurriedly asked: "Military advisor, what kind of accident did Cao Cao win this battle?"

"Cao Cao won this battle, the direct reason was that the fire burned the black nest and burned Yuan Shao's millions of grains and grass overnight. "

"This million grains and grass are all the military rations that Yuan Shao spent half a year raising from the four states of Hebei. "

"Once it burns down, in a short period of time, Yuan Shao will not have time to raise and transfer from the rear. "

"The so-called people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. "

"'An army of more than 100,000 people, hungry for so many meals, will naturally collapse without a fight. "

Xiao Yuan also said the winners and losers of the battle of Guandu.

Liu Bei suddenly became enlightened, his eyes looked anxiously on the sand table, and found the location of the black nest.

That place is even more inconspicuous than Guandu.

Only now did he understand that it was no wonder that Xiao Yuan wanted to order the craftsman to mark such an inconspicuous place on the sand table.

It turned out that this black nest turned out to be the winner of the battle of Guandu!

"Once the grain and grass are cut off, even if there are millions of troops, they will be vulnerable. "

"Cao Cao's choice to burn grain is indeed a winning plan!"

"But why does the military advisor still say that Cao Cao won by chance?"

After Liu Bei sighed, he was still puzzled.

"Lord, take a closer look, where is the location of this black nest?"

Xiao Yuan pointed to the sand table.

Liu Bei took a closer look and said: "This black nest is about seventy miles northeast of Guandu, and the location is just between Yanjindu and Guandu. "

"So, the location of this Guandu is already the rear of Yuan's army. "

"If Cao Cao wants to sneak attack Wuchao, he has to bypass the Yuan army front and (Zhao Qian's) run for more than 70 miles. "

"And Wuchao is an important place for grain camps, Yuan Shao can't be unguarded, there must be many checkpoints along the way. "

"My lord, think about it, how difficult is it for Cao Cao to go deep behind enemy lines for seventy miles, bypass the heavy checkpoints of the Yuan army, and suddenly appear in the black nest without knowing it?"

Xiao Yuan peeled off the cocoon and gradually revealed the truth about the burning of the black nest for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's thoughts were racing, chewing on Xiao Yuan's every word, his eyes sweeping around on the sand table.

"Could it be that there were traitors in the Yuan army, and they leaked to Cao Cao the secrets of the Yuan army's deployment along the way. "

"So Cao Cao was able to avoid the eyes and ears of Yuan Jun's sentinel, and he was able to attack the black nest without knowing it?"

Liu Bei suddenly realized and blurted out the speculation in his heart.

In addition, he couldn't think of any other means for Cao Cao to complete such a difficult fatal blow.

"The lord guessed right. "

Xiao Yuan nodded and said: "Cao Cao's success in the surprise attack on the Black Nest is that the ancestral tomb is smoking, and there is a traitor under Yuan Shao's hands." "

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Then who is this traitor?"
