In many people's minds, the battle of Guandu between Yuan Shao Group and Cao Cao Group is the battle of Yuan Shao's hegemony. After this war, the strong and weak forces changed, and Yuan Shao no longer had military superiority. But don't ignore a detail. The battle of Guandu was finished in the fifth year of Jian 'an, and Yuan Shao died in May of the seventh year of Jian 'an. In fact, during this year and a half, Yuan Shao not only put down the rebellion in Jizhou, but also had an important military confrontation with Cao Cao Group, and this time it was the battle of Cangting.
The historical record of the battle of Cangting is very short, as simple as the battle of Cangting. However, personally, the battle of Cangting is a continuation of the battle of Guandu, the battle of Guandu and Cangting, and Cao Cao won both wars, making it impossible for Lombardi Group to gather troops to attack Cao Cao Group. After this war, Cao Cao gradually grasped the initiative of the situation.
Although Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's strength was not completely defeated by this battle. Cao Cao really needs the battle of Cangting to further establish his advantage over Yuan Shao. For Yuan Shao, after the battle of Guandu, he still has a chance to make a comeback. After all, even after his death, there was a separatist struggle within Yuan Group, and Cao Cao was basically defeated by Yuan Group in the eleventh year of Jian 'an. After Bing was pacified, Youzhou suddenly rode a horse. The state supports nuclear power, and if there is something wrong with the Quartet, it is not bad to bring it to Erzhou.
If there is no battle of Cangting, let Yuan Shao recuperate and accumulate strength. Jizhou is a secluded state and a land of elite soldiers. Cao Cao Can did not pin his hopes on Yuan Shaozhi's death. So in general, the battle of Cangting is necessary. Yuan Shao wants to stop loss through this battle, while Cao Cao hopes to further determine his advantage through this battle.
We need to know how much Yuan Shao lost in the battle of Guandu.
"The Story of Yuan Shaozhuan" is a land of four countries, with hundreds of thousands of people, but it is arrogant and prosperous, and the tribute is few and simple ... So it is easy to ride 100,000 soldiers and want to attack Xu.
This is the property of Yuan Shao after he destroyed Gongsun Zan, and he is known as hundreds of thousands of mercenaries. This is mainly the result of perennial confrontation between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Both sides must do their best to collect as many troops as possible. However, when the battle of Guandu started, Yuan Shao was a streamlined foot soldier with 65,438+10,000 troops, including cavalry 10000, which was also relatively credible. The battle of Guandu is a life-and-death battle between the two groups. There is no reason why Yuan Shao can't show his real strength to fight this battle with Cao Cao, so what we need to consider is how much loss Yuan Shao has suffered in the battle of Guandu, and whether he can rally his troops to fight a battle with Cao Cao again.
The History of the Three Kingdoms is a combination of Liang Wudi, Shao and rosewood. Anyone who beheads more than 70 thousand people has great wealth.
The rest of "Yuan Shaochuan in the Later Han Dynasty" was slandered, and Cao Cao killed 80,000 people before and after.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty killed 80,000 people.
According to historical records, Cao Cao killed 70,000 to 80,000 Yuan Jun, some said beheading, some said trapping, and some left these false surrenders of Yuan Jun, that is, false surrenders. This is too general, 70,000 to 80,000 people all surrendered falsely? This is obviously impossible. There were many rebellions in Jizhou during the battle of Guandu, which showed that Yuan Shao did not completely control his chassis after he mastered the land of four states. So will Yuan Jun temporarily surrender to Cao Cao with this false surrender trick, and then take the opportunity to flee to the north? Personally, I think there must be some, but not most.
So Cao Cao killed all the soldiers because he was afraid of surrendering to Yuan Jun for a pretence, which was unreasonable. The Cao Cao period was different from Xiang Yu's killing of 200,000 chi soldiers. At that time, all the governors in the world hated the Qin people, so it was hateful for Xiang Yu to see 200,000 chi soldiers, but there was no vendetta between Cao Jun and Yuan Junbing. It is entirely possible to divide them into different parts of Cao Jun and become the power of Jun, but it is a big deal not to let them surrender. Besides, Cao Cao didn't kill him. If all the fallen soldiers are killed in battle, it will inevitably increase the cost of seizing and ruling the four prefectures in Hebei.
In fact, Cao Cao's statement of killing 70,000 or 80,000 people was first recorded in a report presented by Cao Cao to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, so it is unnecessary to tell the truth.
Biography of the Three Kingdoms and the National Garden broke the thief's document, the old one was ten, and the first one was deeply counted according to the facts.
This is the time when Cao Cao and Ma Chao confronted each other. After Yin Tian and Su Bo rebelled and put down the rebellion, Guoyuan wrote a record of the results according to the actual situation. He did not follow the old example, but used an exaggerated expression, that is, he killed 10 people in order to let the people recognize their status and show their power to protect the people. So in the battle of Guandu,
Yuan Shao lost in the battle of Guandu, Baima and Yanjin lost twice, but the loss of troops should not be great. Yuan Shao was dominant in the period of confrontation. During the final decisive battle, first, Chunyu Qiong was defeated in Wu Chao and lost a lot of late troops. And the attack of Cao Cao's camp led by Zhang He and Gao Lan. As a result, the two men surrendered directly with elite heavy troops, because at that time they learned that Cao Cao had unexpectedly attacked Wu Chao, and Yuan Shao sent troops to rescue Wu Chao. While storming Cao Cao's base camp, relatively speaking, the rescue of Yuan Jun in Wu Chao was not enough to change the situation, but the heavily armed group led by Zhang He was the key to change the situation, but this part of the elite surrendered. Since then, Yuan Jun in troubled times could not compete with Cao Jun, and Yuan Shao decisively fled with his son.
In The Story of Yuan Shaochuan, Shao and Tan rode horses and took 800 people across the river to the north bank of Liyang and entered the camp of his general Jiang Yiqu. When the account arrived, he put his hand down and said, "I will send it to you separately with the leader." Yiqu evaded the account and made a declaration. Many people have heard that Shao is here, so I'll get together later.
After Yuan Shao escaped from the disorderly army, he fled to the Jiangyiqu military camp on the north bank of the Yellow River. After Yuan Jun heard Yuan Shao's position, he began to gather at Yuan Shao's headquarters. So the question is, when Yuan Jun was defeated, did Cao Cao pursue it?
"The story of the Three Kingdoms. JI Wang "Wu emperor Yuan Shao is in Guandu, and he has gained a lot from himself, so he stopped chasing him for fear of being defeated.
This is what JI Wang said in Si Mazhao when he put down the Huainan Rebellion in Zhuge Dan. Obviously, Cao Cao did not fully pursue Yuan Shao's troops, which is also very reasonable. After all, the pre-war plan did not respond. Cao Hong stayed in the camp, and the main force of Jun was temporarily under his command. Before Cao Cao returned to camp, Cao Hong would not take the initiative to guard the camp, which was Cao Hong's only task.
And don't forget that Zhang He and Gao Lan just surrendered to Cao Cao because of the situation. Yuan Jun's surrender is unstable. Who is Z Ryan Gaolan? Cao Cao doesn't know either. If we rashly attack Yuan Jun, who leads an army to pursue the fleeing, there will be no bad ideas behind Zhang He's Gao Lan, and tens of thousands of elite Yuan Jun has become a force to contain the pursuit of Jun. Then these fleeing Yuan Jun won't wait for Cao Jun to surrender, and they must be fleeing and won't be pursued by Jun. Therefore, judging from the fact that Yuan Shao assembled 65,438+10,000 elite soldiers to go south, it is still possible to flee back to 20,000 to 30,000 besides losses. In addition, after the defeat, Yuan Shao collected some troops again. Although Yuan Shao no longer has absolute military superiority over Cao Cao, it is unknown whether Yuan or Cao is the surname in the northern world.
Six years after the biography of the Three Kingdoms Yu Xun, Taizu was Gu Dongping's daughter, who had no food to eat and Hebei lacked support. He wants to attack Liu Biao because of the new salt. Mi Yue ... If we collect the remaining embers, we will continue to do business.
After the battle of Guandu, Yu Xun recorded that although Yuan Shao lost in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's threat to Cao Cao still existed. Geographically speaking, Cao Cao's chassis is indeed in this battle site, so the battle of Guandu was not completely decided by World War I, which completely made Yuan Shao quit the stage of competing for the world. In particular, Yuan Shaobei also put down the internal rebellion. Therefore, Yuan Shao still has time, as long as he doesn't.
Then after the battle of Guandu, both sides had an opportunity period. Although Yuan Shao was newly defeated, he still had the strength to fight back against Cao Cao in time. After Cao Cao temporarily lifted the threat from the north, he had a variety of strategic choices, whether to continue attacking Yuan Shao or to defeat Liu Biao and conquer Sun Quan. Cao Cao originally thought of solving Liu Biao first. As mentioned earlier, Xiangyang's geographical location, from Xiangyang to the north, can threaten Cao Cao.
For Yuan Shao, if he doesn't admit defeat, he must pull back a game militarily, mainly because he is old, impatient and doesn't want to wait, so he assembled the last strength and stationed in Cang to put pressure on Cao Cao Group.
Chen Gong wanted to take Dong 'a, defend Fan County, and Cheng Yu defended Shou Zhang, and sent people to defend the warehouse. Chen Gong to, don't cross.
Cangtingjin was an important ferry of the Yellow River in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Chen Gong had welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou because he wanted to cross south from Cang Ting Jin. The result was pinned down by Cheng Yu. So Yuan Shao gathered his troops here for obvious purposes. That is to fight another world war to change the situation after the battle of Guandu. The only difference is that Yuan Shao is the relatively inferior party this time.
But Yuan Shao was impatient. He can wait for his potential allies, mainly Liu Quan in the northwest and Marten Han Sui. They were quiet in the battle of Guandu. Zhong You guarded Guanzhong and sent horses to Jun in front of Guandu, which should be given by Marten Han Sui. The two men wanted to see Cao Cao and Yuan Shao die and profit from them, so their attitude was to wait and see.
At the same time, Liu Biao and Zhou Mu Zhang Jin were at loggerheads. In fact, during the battle of Guandu, Liu Biao expressed his meaning. In the later Han Dynasty, Liu Biao Chuan was at odds with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in official positions. Shao sent someone for help to show that he would not help Cao Cao, depending on the change of the world. That is, they don't want to help, unless Yuan Shao is already at an obvious disadvantage, they will make moves. After all, he doesn't want a strong opponent in Jingzhou. Sun Quan's words have no time to take care of the northern war for the time being. Sun Ce has been in Jian 'an for five years, and has just taken over Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Internal stability also takes time. Even after the stability, he struggled against Huang Zu in Jiangxia.
According to the situation at that time, what Yuan Shao could do was to show weakness and let Cao Cao's strategic main attack direction be the south or the northwest. In this case, whoever meets Cao Cao's army will become their first ally. If Yuan Shao Group wants to get back the game, it can only find allies. The two sides can even join hands to increase the winning rate of defeating Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao can't wait. He can't wait to gather troops in Cang Jin Ting.
In the summer and April of the sixth year of "The History of the Three Kingdoms and the Emperor Wudi", the soldiers were on the river, and less Cangge soldiers broke through.
In the summer of April, in the fifty-sixth year of Zi Ji, Cao Yang attacked Yuan Shaocang Pavilion Army and broke it.
The Battle of Cangting, The History of the Three Kingdoms and History as a Mirror are all brief and seemingly insignificant, but in fact, after the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao, unwilling to fail, assembled the last wave of troops and prepared for a strategic decisive battle with Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Yuan Jun was defeated by Cao Cao again because of his new failure and heavy losses of elite troops. I don't know what the specific process is in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It can be said that the battle of Guandu and Cangting completely shattered Yuan Shao's hegemony. The battle of Cangting further established the military superiority of Cao Cao Group after the war, but even so, it took Cao Cao seven years to pacify four states in Hebei. If Yuan Shao is still young enough and healthy, the north really doesn't necessarily belong to Cao.
