Speaking of Chunyu Qiong, this fellow was also badly deceived. According to the description, Chunyu Qiong was ordered to defend the Wuchao granary, with a force of over 20,000 troops, while Cao Cao had 5,000 soldiers. However, the real historical records do not indicate a four to one ratio of forces. The "Zizhi Tongjian" states: "In October, Shao Fu sent carriages to transport grain and sent over 10,000 soldiers led by Chunyu Qiong to escort them." This means that the ratio of forces between Chunyu Qiong and Cao Cao was actually two to one, rather than the exaggerated four to one described in the novel. However, it is evident that the author made these changes to increase the intensity of the plot.
Moreover, the historical performance of Chunyu Qiong in this battle was not weak. According to "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms - Annals of Emperor Wu," although the sudden appearance of Cao Cao's army caused Chunyu Qiong to experience momentary panic, he quickly regained his composure and personally went out of the camp to assess the enemy situation. Upon discovering that Cao Cao's forces were not numerous, he immediately organized his troops to counterattack. This move also restrained Cao Cao's offensive, and the battle situation temporarily reached a stalemate. At this time, Yuan Shao also learned about the attack on Uju and dispatched reinforcements to provide support, putting Cao Cao in a perilous situation of being caught in a double-sided attack and almost facing defeat.
According to "The Biography of Zhang He in Records of the Three Kingdoms," after learning about the attack on Wuchao, Zhang He expressed to Yuan Shao, "General Cao's troops are exceptional. They will surely defeat Qiong and others." From this, it can be inferred that the 5,000 troops led by Cao Cao were the elite force, possibly the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although Chún Yú Qióng had twice the number of troops, they were not the elite forces of Yuan Shao's army but rather ordinary troops used for supply transportation. It is likely that among the 20,000 troops, many were laborers, and only about half or two-thirds were actual soldiers. Therefore, Zhang He confidently asserted that Chún Yú Qióng would be defeated. Please note that the translation above might not be accurate.
Moreover, Chunyu Qiong, the Wuchao Garrison General, is by no means an unknown figure. As early as the fifth year of Emperor Ling's reign (188 AD), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty established an elite force called the "Xiyuan Army" in the capital city of Luoyang. Within this army, eight colonels were appointed, commonly known as the "Eight Colonels of Xiyuan". At that time, Yuan Shao served as the Colonel of the Central Army, Cao Cao as the Colonel of Reward, and Chunyu Qiong as the Colonel of the Right. This demonstrates Chunyu Qiong's high position and his qualifications are on par with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
And after Yuan Shao became the Governor of Jizhou, he appointed Chunyu Qiong as the commander-in-chief of one army, leading it alone. As for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and other famous generals, they were just subordinate officers under Chunyu Qiong's command. This shows how high Chunyu Qiong's position was. If Chunyu Qiong didn't have the ability, Yuan Shao would never have placed him in such a high position. Translated: "
Even in this different era, Yuan Shao still trusted Chunyu Qiong just like in the original history. He entrusted the most crucial part of this battle, and even his own life, to Chunyu Qiong!
With the ability of Chunyu Qiong, it is natural to see the importance of the Wuchao granary in this battle. Therefore, he is extremely grateful for Yuan Shao's trust in him.
Yuan Shao sent Su Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao Wei to assist Chunyu Qiong, and then sent Jiang Qi to replace Wen Chou to guard the White Horse Ferry, while ordering Wen Chou to attack the White Horse!

Liu Yandeng climbed to the top of the city wall and looked out upon the vast wilderness.
These past two days, Yuan Shao's army has been quite quiet, unnervingly so for Liu Yandeng.
Generally speaking, it is unlikely that there would be any military action at this time. After all, Yuan's forces had just crossed the river and should be resting and fortifying their camp, strengthening their defenses. They might even be on high alert for a surprise attack from Cao's army. Therefore, everyone's attention may not be focused on this matter. However, for the two sides about to engage in a decisive battle, every moment has the potential to have serious consequences.
If Yuan Jun really doesn't take a break and reinforce the fortifications, it will indeed be difficult to defend.
Liu Yan rubbed his temple and asked in a low voice to the county magistrate behind him, "Have the civilians in the city been relocated?"
"We have already relocated to Puyang City, and accommodations and food have been prepared for the people. It's time to enter the city soon."
To be honest, Liu Yan has been extremely worried these past few days. He was originally the Prefect of Jiyin County, but Cao Cao suddenly transferred him to Dongguan as the Prefect, which made Liu Yan feel immense pressure. Although both positions were of the same rank as two thousand stones officials, the status of the Prefect of Dongguan and the Prefect of Jiyin County in Cao Cao's mind were completely different.
Dongjun is currently the frontline of the war, and Cao Cao values it, so he appointed Liu Yan as the Prefect of Dongjun. To be honest, Liu Yan is not just a civil official; he also has a military background, impressive martial arts skills, and good command ability. That's why Cao Cao entrusted Dongjun to him. Of course, Cao Hong is the top military commander in Dongjun, but he also needs to fully consider Liu Yan's opinions in other aspects.
In these past few days, Yuan Jun has successively taken control of Yanjin Ferry and White Horse Ferry. Moreover, White Horse Ferry is within the jurisdiction of Dongjun County and falls within the responsibilities of Liu Yan. Additionally, Dongjun County is the frontline of the Cao army. If the two sides go to war, Dongjun County will be the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, Liu Yan has made up his mind to relocate all the people in White Horse County to Puyang. By doing so, even if the two sides engage in war, there will be enough buffer space. Thinking of this, Liu Yan sighed once again.
He has not had any rest for two consecutive days. The common people from the Bai Ma area are migrating to the city of Puyang. This place is probably the battlefield where the armies of Cao and Yuan first clashed. To be honest, he also has some concerns in his heart.
"Prefect, trouble is brewing!"
Just as Liu Yan was preparing to leave the city tower and take a brief rest, he saw a scout stumbling and rushing up the tower.
"Yuan army... Yuan army!"
A cold sensation rose from the waist, shooting straight up the spine to the top of the head. Liu Yan shuddered and quickly rushed forward, grabbing the scout.
"What's happening with the Yuan army?"
"The Yuan army, they have launched an attack!"
"What!"
Liu Yan felt a buzzing in his head and saw stars dancing before his eyes.
What's there to be afraid of? Bring it on. Yuan Jun actually sent troops? They don't even plan to take a break?
“可看清楚有多少人马？”
“大约有四、五万人，正朝这边赶来！”
刘延连忙跑到箭楼上，头伸出垛口向下观瞧。
该死，刘延咬了咬牙，他是真的没有算准袁军居然真的敢这么玩，而且还派出四、五万人来攻打这白马城，还真是看得起他啊！
"Pass on my orders! Close the city gates! Gather the farming troops! Defend the city walls against the enemy!" Liu Yan shouted, giving out one command after another, appearing calm and composed.
Liu Yan's calm and composed image appeared in everyone's eyes, which also reassured them and gave them a sense of relief. If even the prefect is so calm, it must mean that he had made preparations in advance, so there's no need for us to panic. The soldiers inside the city were orderly and performed their duties, quickly preparing for the defense against the enemy.
