The truth of the battle of Guandu is revealed, is Cao Cao's chances of winning safe? How weak is Yuan Shao's strength?
The Battle of Guandu was the first climactic duel between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and had an absolute advantage, but it was Cao Cao who captured Lu Bu alive. This battle is destined to be an extraordinary collision.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had a good relationship at first, and even fought Dong Zhuo together. However, they were also masters of their respective regions, and their territories were constantly intertwined during the war.
The territory is a piece, and it is impossible to say that no one wants to accept a loss. If you want to really tear Liu Bei's face, you have to have a wick.
At that time, Liu Bei was by Cao Cao's side, and because he did not agree with the opinion of Sangu Thatched House, he issued a rebellious edict, and Cao Cao couldn't bear to fight Liu Bei after **. There was no time to take care of Yuan Shao's **, and when Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei, he sent troops to attack Cao Cao's Yellow River defense line.
In 200 BC, Yuan Shao formally organized an army against Cao Cao, and Cao Cao did not hesitate to announce that he would fight Yuan Shao to the death.
After Cao Cao arrived, he clashed with Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, who was strong in martial arts. At that time, Guan Yu was on Cao Cao's side, and when Cao Cao paid for the horses, Guan Yu was a little embarrassed, and in order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, he casually beheaded Yan Liang.
Yuan Shao prepared a multi-pronged attack on Cao Cao. On the front line, Yuan Shao's troops were several times that of Cao Cao, and he put pressure directly on Cao Cao; In the rear, Yuan Shao first bribed a group of Cao Cao's staff and asked them to assassinate Cao Cao, but without success.
Yuan Shao also often asked Liu Bei about Cao Cao's situation, which made Cao Cao very angry. The two fought, and as time went by, Yuan Shao's side became stronger and stronger. However, Xu You jumped from Yuan Shao's side to Cao Cao's side.
Xu You then helped Cao Cao burn down Yuan Shao's granary, but Yuan Shao's army was disheartened and defeated without a fight, and Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu.
Yuan Shao fled back to the Jizhou base camp with 800 men. Although Yuan Shao was defeated, his family was still there, as long as he rested a little, Yuan Shao could fight again, but unfortunately Yuan Shao did not wait for that time, and soon Cao Cao unified the north.
