Yuan Shao s troops during the Battle of Guandu were 100,000, and Cao Cao s troops at that time were

Cao Cao's army was only twenty or thirty thousand, but Cao Cao listened to Xu You's advice and attacked Wuchao at night, so there was a battle of Guandu with less to win more.

The Battle of Guandu was fought by Yuan Shao with 100,000 troops, and Cao Cao dispatched 20,000 troops at that time, which was one of the famous battles in history in which the few defeated the more and the weak defeated the strong.

Cao Cao's victory in the Battle of Guandu was extremely beautiful, and all Cao Cao's men and horses should have added up to no more than 20,000 at that time.

<> "The Battle of Guandu: How much more than Cao Cao's total strength was Yuan Shao?"

The Battle of Guandu is one of the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms period, and it is also a very classic battle in Chinese history in which fewer won more. So how many troops did Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have? According to historical records, Yuan Shao had a total of 110,000 people at that time, and Cao Cao only had 20,000 people, and Yuan Shao's total strength was more than 5 times that of Cao Cao.

Some people may say that Yuan Shao's command ability is too poor, he can fight one out of five and still lose, and there was no large-scale lethality of missiles and artillery at that time, how did Yuan Shao lose himself? In fact, it was really because of a huge mistake in Yuan Shao's command.

In fact, the side with more troops will generally choose to take the initiative and take the initiative into its own hands. However, Yuan Shao has been unwilling to attack in a big way, and waited until Cao Cao completed the assembly of troops, and finally Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed, which also made Yuan Shao suffer the bitter fruit of the first defeat.

At that time, each of Yuan Shao's troops was as small as 10,000 people, while Cao Cao had a total of 20,000 people. So Cao Cao will definitely not be stupid enough to scatter his own troops and fight with you, so he gathered all his troops together, but Yuan Shao's side did not do this, and he naturally lost the upper hand if he used the original formation to fight Cao Cao.

However, although Yuan Shao lost the first battle, his strength was still overwhelming. So Cao Cao didn't act rashly, and the two sides began to stalemate. During this period, Yuan Shao also became smarter this time, and gathered his large troops in the Guandu area to prepare for a fight to the death with Cao Cao.

At that time, Xun Yu also said to Cao Cao, "As long as you can defend against Yuan Shao's offensive, the balance of victory will be reversed, so the lord must not take a step back, and the morale of those who retreat first will weaken." As long as Yuan Shao's troops can no longer move forward, they can win by surprise, this is the key to determining the general trend of the world, please hold on. It is precisely because of Xun Yu's words that Cao Cao's information has multiplied.

In addition to defense, he also tried every means to attack Yuan Shao's grain route, making it difficult for Yuan Shao's army to supply.

Later, the situation really took a turn for the better, Yuan Shao's adviser Xu Yu suddenly rebelled, and also offered Cao Cao a plan to attack the black nest at night, and finally Cao Cao led his troops to raid and successfully burned all the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army. In the end, Yuan Shao could only retreat, but the morale of the army was completely gone, and there were arguments and contradictions among the internal generals. At this moment, although Yuan Shao had a large number of troops, his spiritual defense line had been defeated, but Cao Cao's morale had greatly increased, and he directly defeated Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and won this crucial battle.

In fact, Yuan Shao was indeed not a qualified commander, and he was reversed and overturned with such a big advantage. Of course, Cao Cao's side completely relied on tenacious willpower and bold strategy to achieve the hard-won victory, and from this point of view, I still admire Cao Cao very much. After reading so much, I believe everyone also has a better understanding of the strength of the two sides during the battle of Guandu, what do you think is the main reason for Yuan Shaohui's defeat?

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.
