Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 812 The Matter of Dunqiu County

Gao Lan, Guo Tu, and Jiang Qi led [-] Yuan troops to rescue Cao Cao, so they already knew the size of Zhu Weijun's troops in Puyang City.

So they are really troubled about how to support Cao Cao. Now that Zhu Weijun has surrounded Puyang City to death, what is the point of their 3 people passing by?

It is impossible for their [-] troops to break through Zhu Weijun's siege of Puyang City. In fact, even if they led troops to break through Zhu Weijun's siege of Puyang City, so what, Cao Cao would not dare to leave the city.

Where can Cao Cao go after leaving Puyang City?
Could it be that they also entered Puyang City to help Cao Cao defend the city together?

This seems a little inappropriate. After all, their 3 people plus Cao Cao's troops may not necessarily have an advantage over Zhu Weijun's troops. Then when they entered Puyang City, they would add a piece of meat to Zhu Weijun at most.

How can it be regarded as rescuing Cao Cao?

At least it is to help Cao Cao repel Zhu Weijun, but judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely that this will be realized, relying on their [-] people.

It can be said that although Gao Lan, Guo Tu, and Jiang Qi were ordered to support Cao Cao, they were at a loss as to how to support Cao Cao. Originally, an army of [-] was not too small, but facing Zhu Wei's more than ten Wan Dajun, if they really pounce on them, they will be sending meat.

At the same time, Puyang was on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Yuan Shaojun led by Gao Lan had to cross the Yellow River to reach Puyang, which was another trouble for Yuan Shaojun.

Now the Yellow River is basically under the control of Zhu Weijun. Since Zhu Wei transferred Gan Ning's Jiangjiao Battalion to the frontline battlefield, the warships of Jiangjiao Battalion have taken the Yellow River as their main route.

As the northern army, Yuan Shao's army was not very good at water warfare. Naturally, there was no water army that could fight against Gan Ning's Jiangjiao camp on the Yellow River.

What's more, on the front line of Chaoge and Liyang, there is also Pang Yan's Xiongba camp army stationed. If Gao Lan wants to go to Puyang to support Cao Cao, he still needs to bypass the defense line of the Xiongba camp army. He can only enter from the direction of Fanyang and Yin'an. Yanzhou Dongjun, and then supported Puyang City from north to south.

As a result, although Gao Lan, Guo Tu, and Jiang Qi led troops to Puyang City to support them, they didn't know how to do it. They could only take one step at a time. They have been here, which can be regarded as psychological comfort to Cao Cao.

Therefore, Gao Lan, who was almost ready to fight soy sauce, was naturally less interested in fighting a tough battle. At least until the situation in Puyang City did not change significantly, he was planning to lead troops from Fanyang into Yanzhou East County, and then Slowly heading towards the north bank of the Yellow River in the direction of Puyang, but in the end it will only stop on the north bank of the Yellow River and stop moving forward.

It's just that Gao Lan didn't expect that they were going to waste time, but Zhu Wei regarded them as a piece of meat and was ready to open his mouth to eat.

Of course, in Yanzhou, there are basically plains that can be seen at a glance. There are only a few small hills, and it is difficult to find places to ambush. Be thoughtful.

Let's just talk about Gao Lan's side for the time being, he followed the marching route towards Puyang City, and soon came to Dunqiu County on the border between Yanzhou Dongjun and Yizhou Weijun.

This Dunqiu County was originally just a small county, but because there is a hill named "Dunqiu" in the territory, it became the county name.

In addition, Dunqiu was mentioned in the "Mang" in the Book of Songs, which also made this small county famous in history. Qi, as for Dunqiu. Bandits have missed my time, and I have no good matchmaker."

This "Mang" poem tells the story of a woman who fell in love with a "scholar", got married and was abandoned. It can also be regarded as a tragic story.

However, another battle that will be included in the annals of history will take place in Dunqiu County.

Gao Lan, Guo Tu, and Jiang Qi led [-] Yuan troops to Dunqiu County. They didn't plan to go to the county seat, but they just planned to walk through it.

After all, Gao Lan didn't want to expose his marching traces too much. He still hoped that his support army would remain unknown for the time being, so that he could also play the role of surprise soldier at critical times.

In fact, when they were marching in Yuan Shao's territory in Wei County, Yizhou, Gao Lan's troops were also marching in secret, and not many people knew their tracks.

Unexpectedly, not long after Yuan Jun led by Gao Lan entered Dunqiu County, he met people from Dunqiu County on the way, saying that they had already been here waiting for Yuan Shaojun to come.

The people from Dunqiu County said that the magistrate of Dunqiu County (county magistrates with less than [-] households in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and county magistrates with more than [-] households) appreciated Yuan Jun for supporting the lord Cao Cao, so although Dunqiu County is a small county, it is It was also ordered by Cao Cao to prepare some food and supplies in the county, and to send them to Yuan Shaojun as a reward.

Gao Lan was a little skeptical at first, how could the people from Dunqiu County know the whereabouts of his army, but the people who came to greet him only said that it was the arrangement from above, maybe their lord Cao Cao had predicted their marching route, so Only then will there be such preparations.

After thinking about it, Gao Lan didn't doubt too much. After all, Cao Cao was indeed not an ordinary person, not to mention that the other party had prepared food and supplies to give to him. It's nothing to go to Qiu county.

Gao Lan also consulted with Guo Tu on the way, and Guo Tu also felt that it might be that Cao Cao was worried that they would not give support, so he deliberately played such a hand here, so that they would be embarrassed not to support them, so that they could be better. Be more dedicated.

At the same time, Cao Cao might still pass through the magistrate of Nadunqiu County here, and give them some news so that they can have a better way to support Puyang.

In addition, in Guo Tu's view, the grain and grass supplies prepared by Dunqiu County are not in vain. Their [-] troops came all the way. If they can obtain some grain and grass supplies on the spot, it can always reduce the material consumption in the rear.

Therefore, the [-] Yuan troops led by Gao Lan marched towards Dunqiu County. Outside the small town of Dunqiu, which was not very large, they saw a lot of accumulated supplies, which seemed to be grain, grass, Silk cloth and so on.

And the person from Dunqiu County who came to welcome them was also the county magistrate who invited Gao Lan and Guo Tu to a banquet in the county, saying that the county magistrate had prepared a banquet for them.

After thinking about it, Gao Lan refused. After all, as a general in command, he couldn't leave the army easily, but Gao Lan still asked Guo Tu to participate, which can be regarded as an expression of their acceptance.

Originally, Guo Tu was not very happy to meet the county magistrate of Dunqiu County, a small county with less than [-] households, but the other party did show such warm hospitality. At the same time, he also wanted to know if Cao Cao really had something to say in Dunqiu County. So Guo Tu followed the people from Dunqiu County to Dunqiu County...
