Today, let’s take a look at the battle of Guandu, the most famous war in history. I believe everyone should know that the battle of Guandu is one of the most famous battles that win more with less. This war directly made Cao Cao. His great career was a very influential battle for Cao Wei’s regime. After this war, Cao Cao was able to have enough strength to unify the north. In 199 AD, Yuan Shao began to gather more than 100,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and gave an order to lead the army south. Yuan Shao's goal at the time was Xu Du , But at that time Cao Cao's forces were very weak.
At that time, Cao Jun had only 20,000 people to face Yuan Shao's one hundred thousand army. This kind of military strength was very different, and it seemed that there was almost no chance of winning at that time. But in order to resist Yuan Shao’s attack, Cao Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and dash forward. However, Cao Cao was a scheming man. He did not directly clashed with Yuan Shao’s army, but sent people to win over Liang. Zhou, you must know that Liangzhou is an unstable area next to Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao used his main force to resist Yuan Shao's attack. He naturally had to worry about the potential threats in the adjacent area.
After all, multi-line operations will definitely drag the Cao Wei regime down. No matter how powerful a regime is, if it wants to attack multiple targets at the same time, this military loss is also very alarming. After all the surrounding unstable factors were secured, Cao Cao suddenly used hundreds of cavalry to attack Yuan Shao’s army. This sudden blitzkrieg completely defeated Yuan Shao’s thousands of soldiers. After this raid, Yuan Shao’s men The two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou also lost their lives. Such a huge loss was a big blow to Yuan Shao. Cao Cao pursued the victory again.
She not only used a frontal impact, but also used a slamming method to directly send cavalry and large troops to attack Yuan Shao’s important defensive stronghold Wuchao. After Cao Cao's army attacked Wuchao, they burned all the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army. Without logistical support, Yuan Shao's army smashed everywhere like headless flies. Grain and grass are a very important factor for a war. As the saying goes, soldiers and horses do not move food and grass first. If there is no logistical support for food and grass, no matter how brave soldiers and troops are, they cannot support it. After the Battle of Wuchao, Cao Cao's elite troops killed nearly 90,000 Yuan Shao's troops, but the price Cao Cao paid was very small. This type of battle that defeated more with less is very famous in history.
Throughout the entire battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao lost almost 100,000 troops in total. Because of Cao Cao's good use of strategy and decision-making, the entire army lost less than 10,000. From this point on It can be seen that Cao Cao is absolutely using soldiers like gods. As a generation of famous military strategists, he is really not in vain, especially the military strategy used in this war has been imitated by many generals of future generations. Looking at it now, Yuan Shao at the time was really too ambitious. She could have been his native emperor without any worries in the north, but he was not satisfied with his current state, so he led the army to the south and wanted to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop. In the end, he His strength and ambition could not match, which led to a huge defeat in the battle of Guandu.
The time has come. The Battle of Guandu is still one of the popular battles studied by many historians. After all, this battle is really famous in ancient history, especially in Yishao Among the battles of Shengduo, the battle of Guandu ranked first. According to historical records at the time, among the three kingdoms at that time, the most powerful one to rule the world was undoubtedly Yuan Shao. At that time, Yuan Shao occupied more than half of the world, and Cao Cao's strength could not be compared. This is why Yuan Shao was able to gather 100,000 troops to attack Cao Jun. If they were replaced by anyone, I believe they would make the same decision. After all, the military strengths of the two sides are very different. Who would have thought that this war could be completed? Where is Cao Cao?
After the Battle of Guandu, although Yuan Shao still had a certain strength, he failed to make a comeback again. Many friends felt that his pattern was too small and his mind was very narrow, and he could not accommodate it at all. The whole country. In fact, Yuan Shao in history is indeed such a person. People with a small structure cannotPerhaps Yuan Shao suffered this kind of loss for the ruler. The Battle of Guandu caused Yuan Shao to lose a lot of troops and horses, and many talents died because of this war. Many counsellors and generals were also captured by Cao Cao and finally surrendered. In addition, after the defeat of the Battle of Guandu, large-scale contradictions and conflicts began to appear within Yuan Shao, which completely shattered his dream of a comeback. Who would have thought that a war that was originally a winner would be destroyed by Yuan Shao. Once, it is really a pity, some friends think that history is too partial to Cao Cao, I don't know what the friends feel?
