Just after the locust flowers on the locust Hill opened, the neem trees in the fields woke up the morning dew with a light purple fragrance. Another day is Xiaoman. As soon as Xiaoman arrives, the field changes day by day. Villagers will say, didn't you hear cuckoo calling "quick yellow and quick cooked"? As soon as cuckoo crows, the best time for Guandu comes.



It's really the Great Plains. The wind blows to the horizon. Except for trees and crops, there is no shelter and ups and downs. No wonder there is a big war here, because men, horses and chariots can run. Looking at the endless rustling green, I occasionally think of the war.



Some people say that the name of Guandu comes from a water. Guandu water is actually the canal excavated by the ancients, which is the gap between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. The chasm connects the hulaoguan pass and Gongluo pass in Guangwu in the west, and the Bian River, Huaihe River and Surabaya River in the East. This place is bordered by Mount Song in the south, Mount Mang in the west, and the Yellow River in the north. It is definitely the key for Yuan Shao to seize Xuchang. Yuan Shao was commanding an army of 100000 at that time, with great momentum. Cao Cao had only 20000 troops. In order to protect the capital, he had to fight Yuan Shao head-on in Guandu.



At this time, Liu Bei was still under the command of Cao Cao, and he still had some advantages. But when Liu Bei deployed the battle in Cao Cao, he suddenly raised troops to occupy xiapi and contacted Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao together. This brought Cao Cao and Yuan Shao a bad news and a good opportunity. Those who got the bad news tried hard to remove the thorns, but those who had a good chance did not listen to Tian Feng's suggestion of "raising the army and attacking the rear", resulting in Liu Bei's "single fight" and rout. Cao Cao calmly returned to the army after his expedition. Cao Cao also made a forced landing at Guan Yu in this battle. If Cao Cao treated Guan Yu like Lv Bu, it would be difficult to say the general trend of Liu Bei later. On the contrary, Liu Bei did not betray Cao Cao, and the combination of the two forces might be another outcome.



As a result, the two armies of Cao and Yuan vied with each other for nearly a year. Yuan Shaofan could not win, and Cao Cao was even more powerless. However, Cao Cao seized the opportunity to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass twice. The countdown to the final result came from Cao Cao's life-threatening sneak attack. At this time, Zhugeliang, who was watching coldly in the thatched cottage, couldn't help sighing: "Cao Cao is less famous than Yuan Shao. However, Cao Cao can overcome Shao, and the weak is the strong, not only in time, but also in person." Cao Cao was able to employ and trust people, making Xun Yu, Xun you and Xu you all play a role at a critical time. Some historians also said that Cao Cao's attack on Chunyu Qiong to burn grain and grass was a courageous gamble, and his ability was still tenacious for a long time, which frustrated yuan Jun's spirit.



The Great Plains gave Cao Cao a place to gallop. The battle of Guandu forged Cao Cao's temperament and pattern, and affected his subsequent ambitions, including literary cognition and display.



Guanduqiao village, which is the closest place name to Guandu. Several old people were idling in front of Guandu temple, which was quite large. I talked with them and learned that there used to be a Guandu platform here, which was called "Cao Gongtai" by locals, and Guandu temple was also a place for troops. Guandu bridge also governs a small village called deer chasing camp. When it comes to the deer racing camp, the old people get excited and say everything. I understand that when the two armies of Cao and Yuan fought against each other, there was a fierce battle for a deer here. Finally, Cao Cao's people got the deer, so the crowd was excited, and finally won a victory over the majority. Is this result related to the deer? So, it's not a simple deer, or a chip cast by heaven. Whoever wins will get the omen of victory.



Asked about the surrounding villages, he said that there were also grassland villages, where Cao Cao stored grain and grass. An old man pointed his hand and said that there was still a water burst village ahead, where Cao Cao flooded Yuan Shao. There is also cangzhai village, which is said to be the war readiness warehouse at that time. It is inevitable to sigh that only here can we deeply feel the yellow dust of drum horns accompanying these village names.



Drizzle was blowing in the sky, walking on the land of Guandu. Through that fight, I felt that there were many memorable things in history. Cao Cao fought all his life, labored hard, Guandu made him famous, and Chibi made him disreputable.



After thousands of years of wind and rain, the former battlefield has become a famous garlic and watermelon producing area, a pure hometown of moushan Wetland Park and Yanming Lake, a horticultural field and a Green Expo. People come from all directions to enjoy fresh breath and harmonious colors, which can also be regarded as a continuation of culture or evolution of civilization. "Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has an end. The snake rides the fog and ends up in dust." The generosity of Wei and Jin Dynasties triggered by Cao Cao is a reminder that fighting and killing can only leave a case, and the influence of peace and culture can enter into eternity.



A group of tourists approached from far away, and the chirping sound was stirred with the drizzle. Whose song floated with the wind, flying and gloomy, and the sound hit the thick land: "the light and shadow of the knife are dimmed, and the drums and horns are far away..." (Wang Jianbing)
