In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had more than 100,000 troops, why was there a shortage of food an

Jizhou, where Yuan Shao is located, is a land rich in money and grain, and Yuan Shao sits on the territory of Ji, Bing, Qing, and Youzhou much larger than Cao Cao, and it is naturally easier to raise grain and grass than Cao Cao.

On the one hand, Cao Cao's lack of grain and grass was due to the instability in the rear, which made it more difficult for Cao Cao to raise grain, and on the other hand, in order to stabilize the situation, taxes were suspended in some counties.

Because Yuan Shao's territory is large, the grain and grass are very timely. Cao Cao's territory is much worse than Yuan Shao's, and after years of fighting, agriculture and economy in many places have not yet recovered, so the grain and grass are not timely.

At the time of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had just started not long ago, and Yuan Shao already had a large territory at that time, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou, all of which were in Hebei, and the number of troops under his command was sufficient, and the logistics were very fast, but Cao Cao had no logistics support, and the food was not available, so it was very short.

Because the cities occupied by Cao Cao were not particularly wealthy, the food reserves were not much, and the military rations were difficult to sustain the army for a long time.

Because Cao Cao did not have the ability to fight sufficiently, although the troops were not as many as Yuan Shao, he was indeed very short of food, so he said that no matter what he did, he must be prepared for everything.

Although Yuan Shao has a large number of people, they are all a rabble. From the point of view of the generals, they are the commanders of the troops on paper, and the soldiers under them are even more chaotic teams of all parties, and if there is no order and discipline in training, they will not be able to win the battle.

This is related to the resources owned by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at that time, Yuan Shao has enough resources to meet the grain and grass of 100,000 people, which is normal, not that there will be a shortage of food and grass if there are many people. Cao Cao was relatively weak at that time, and his resources in all aspects were insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of the army, and he would not have enough food and grass.

In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had more than 100,000 troops, but the shortage of grain and grass was the lack of troops of Cao Cao, because of Cao Cao's tuntian measures, which made a lot of grain and grass production and solved the urgent need.

The difference is quite large, Cao Cao's troops are only about 1 10 of Yuan Shao's, and Yuan Shao has about 100,000 people.

Yuan Shao's strength is 5 times that of Cao Cao's troops, and the difference in strength is very large, so it will become a famous case of winning more with less.

The difference is still very large, but with Cao Cao's strength, it is not surprising at all.

Because Cao Cao was strategic in military affairs, could grasp the situation of the other party, and could also use the army reasonably, he finally defeated Yuan Shao.

Because Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were compared with each other, Cao Cao was better at using troops, and in this war, he listened to the opinions of others, adopted an effective blind nuclear combat method, and quickly arranged troops to boost morale, and won the victory in the Battle of Guandu in one fell swoop; At that time, Yuan Shao was in a situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back and back, and he fought all the year round, and Mo Heng thought that he had enough experience and talent, and he was too conceited and unwilling to listen to the opinions of others, which led to strategic and policy mistakes and defeat in the battle of Guandu.

Because he has superb combat methods, so in the end he was able to win a big victory, I think he Yan is really a brave and resourceful person, so it is normal that he Li Zao has not been able to leave such a strong mark in history.

Because someone in Yuan Shao's team defected at that time, revealing the combat distribution map at that time, Cao Cao was able to win.

Because he did not make accurate plans before the battle, did not make sufficient preparations, and underestimated Cao Cao, underestimated the enemy, and was occupied by Cao Cao in a good form of combat, so he was defeated by Cao Cao.

This was due to the fact that he did not make the right judgment, and the strength of his army was not particularly strong, plus he did not have an excellent instructor, so he was defeated at the hands of Cao Cao.

On the one hand, it is because I underestimate the enemy, and on the other hand, because I misjudged things, so I will fail.

The Battle of Guandu was a famous battle in which the weak defeated the strong and the few won the more, and it has very important significance in history.

At that time, the strength of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was compared:

1. Bing. Cao Cao only had 70,000 troops, while Yuan Shao had 700,000 troops, and the ratio of military strength was 1:10, and Cao Cao was obviously at a disadvantage.

2. Will. Cao Cao was surrounded by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou Dunyun, Cao Hong, etc. Yuan Shao was surrounded by Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong, Han Meng, Jiang Qi, etc.

3. Strategist. Cao Cao has Xun Yu, Gou You, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and so on. Yuan Shao has Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Guo Tu, and Trial. They are all resourceful people.

4. Grain and grass. Cao Jun had very little grain and grass, while Yuan Shao had plenty of grain and grass.

Yuan Shao's strength was stronger than Cao Cao's, but he was defeated by Cao Cao. The reason is that Cao Cao can use people to distinguish between right and wrong, while Yuan Shao cannot use people and cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Yuan Shao's character is indecisive, strong on the outside and weak in the middle.

His subordinate strategist Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army to brake quietly, and when Cao's army lacked food and grass, one blow could be won.

But Yuan Shao didn't listen and threw Tian Feng into prison. Later, Xu You offered a division of troops all the way to Xuchang, but Yuan Shao scolded Xu You for being a spy sent by Cao Cao. Xu You was so angry that he wanted to commit suicide, so he went to Cao Cao and offered Cao Cao a plan to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass.

The talents of Tian Feng and Xu Yu were comparable to Xun Yu, but Yuan Shao abandoned them.
