Knowingly making a mistake, even though it seems stupid most of the time, in fact, many people are doing it either actively or passively.
After receiving the report from Li Dian and others in Luoyang, Cao Cao said that the Feiqian troops at Hangu Pass had not moved. On the one hand, he was slightly relieved, but on the other hand, he seemed a little regretful.
That's right, it's like the regret of waiting for most of the night.
Just like Cao Cao's previous plans, Cao Cao hoped to fight a defensive counterattack with Fei Qian, rather than getting a bloody blow at Hangu Pass during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In order to lure Fei Qian to join the army, Cao Cao even sent Li Tong to assassinate him, regardless of his own reputation, just to see if he could anger Fei Qian and get Fei Qian to leave Chang'an and send troops to Xu County. However, Fei Qian responded with a sudden response.
Cutting it, I choked and couldn't breathe smoothly for a while.
If Fei Qian sends troops, no matter what the reason is, no matter whether it is legitimate or not, it will inevitably cause people in Shandong to reminisce about the military turmoil in Xiliang and Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital. Fei Qian, the cavalry general, even if he is not Dong Zhuo's second
, Li Guo is also reborn, so there is a great possibility that the Shandong nobles will gather again to fight against Fei Qian, and if they gather again this time, who is suitable to be the leader?
Of course there is only Cao Cao.
Therefore, once Fei Qian sends troops, it seems that Cao Cao is in danger, but as the saying goes, there is a turning point in the crisis, which also means that the opportunity for Cao Cao to reach the top is coming. If Fei Qian can be dragged into Yanzhou, which itself is not rich and has frequent wars,
In the area where Cao Cao launched his attack, Cao Cao was in Jizhou and Xiahou Dun was in Yuzhou. Under the attack from the north and south of the two most prosperous states in the Han Dynasty, there might not be no chance of victory.
It's like a big gamble.
Cao Cao is not afraid of big bets, and is even excited about such big bets. Just like when he planned to save the young emperor in Luoyang, he did not hesitate to risk the safety of his whole family. But unfortunately, Fei Qian did not follow Cao Cao's steps last time.
Go, this made Cao Cao very disappointed, as if he was holding back his strength, but his punch was empty...
Now, it seems that the opportunity has come again.
So even if Cao Cao knew that it was most likely not Fei Qian's doing, he would still say it was Fei Qian's doing...
Anyway, Cao Cao just wanted to make everyone think that it was Fei Qian who did it!
Cao Cao sent people to Ye City, vividly explained what Fei Qian had done, and also sent Cao Cao's personal letter to the top of the city...
Yuan Shang no longer looks like a handsome young man. His hair is disheveled, his robes are stained with many stains, and his face is haggard, as if he was thrown into a small dark room. After a few strong men entered, it took a long time.
He looked like he was trying to crawl out.
Of course, Shen Pei and Guo Tu on the side were not much better in appearance.
Shen Pei's and Cao Cao's strategies are actually partly similar, that is, they both have the meaning of using force to attack and defend and counterattack. However, just like the hussar general ignored Cao Cao's moves, Cao Cao also saw through Shen Pei's plan.
They didn't put much effort into Yecheng at all, they just besieged it and then led troops to the periphery to seize Jizhou's territory.
In this way, Yecheng's strong city defense is as useless as it can neither consume Cao Cao's troops, nor can it be abandoned like this. The dilemma is similar to Cao Cao's current situation, except that Cao Cao can still move around outside to some extent.
It felt so good, but Yuan Shang and Shen Pei could only keep their hands and feet trapped and unable to move...
What? Big brother is dead?
Yuan Shang was a little sluggish. Although Yuan Shang hated Yuan Tan very much before, and even gnashed his teeth and cursed, but after hearing the news of Yuan Tan's death, Yuan Shang felt like there was a sudden void in his heart, feeling empty and a little aching.
Shen Pei doesn't have much energy to take care of the stupid words Yuan Shang says from time to time. Since Cao Cao has written a serious letter, it means that Yuan Tan is really dead. After all, Yuan Tan is not Yuan Shang's reinforcements, but
To some extent an opponent, Cao Cao's false claims about Yuan Tan's death made no sense.
Cao Cao said that after Yuan Tan died, Yuan Shang's persistence would have no meaning. Cao Cao would give the position originally reserved to Yuan Tan to Yuan Shang, and would also ensure that Yuan Shang could still be a wealthy and happy man, so it was not as good as two families.
Peace talks, jointly dealing with the same enemy, Cavalry General Fei Qian...
Peace talks? The look on Shen Pei's face is very exciting. If peace talks are really held, then what is the name of what he did before, and what is its significance? The death of the eldest son must be inseparable from Cao Cao!
Just like Cao Cao knew it was not Fei Qian who did it, but insisted on saying it was Fei Qian, Shen Pei didn't think Yuan Tan's death had anything to do with Cao Cao, but he firmly pinned the blame on Cao Cao.
Although Yuan Tan's death was a bit strange, so what?
Neither Yuan Shang nor Shen Pei or Guo Tu could verify or do anything for Yuan Tan...
Guo Tu frowned and remained silent. Guo Tu believed that there was no need for Cao Cao to kill Yuan Tan, but he also had no need to defend Cao Cao. Now it is not about whether Yuan Tan dies or not, but what happens next.
The question of which way to go.
Although Ye City is strong, Cao Cao may not be able to capture it in a short while, but just like what Cao Cao is doing now, the only thing to besiege the city is consumption. I originally thought that Cao Cao could not afford it, but now it seems that Guo Tu has no confidence.
What is the current plan? Yuan Shang asked, his eyes full of helplessness.
Shen Pei gritted his teeth and said: Become a company of hussar and fight against Cao's thieves!
What? Yuan Shang said, didn't you say that the Hussar sent someone to assassinate my eldest brother?
Guo Tu said from the side: This is the opinion of Cao Sikong's family. At first, he chose Yuan Shang because he felt that Yuan Shang was silly and easy to control, but now it seems that it is difficult to deal with someone who is too silly and sweet. Is there a head growing on this neck?
Cao Cao is now an enemy, a rival, but in the end he even believes what his opponent says?
Yuan Shang didn't hear what Guo Tu meant, or if he did, he didn't bother to think about it carefully. The repeated worries and pain during this period of time have made Yuan Shang's cerebral cortex completely dull and calm, perhaps like a peeled off brain.
The shell of the hard-boiled egg is so smooth that it can no longer actively think about anything.
The judge said: Hussar has no enmity with the eldest son, so why bother to assassinate him? Whoever harms the eldest son must be a Cao thief!
Of course, Shen Pei also had some doubts that Fei Qian had done it. After all, Yuan Tan's death would also disrupt Cao Cao's original plan to smoothly take over Jizhou. From this perspective, the assassination of Yuan Tan also had a good effect, but Shen Pei
Naturally, Pei would not say that. The enemy of the enemy is obviously an ally to a certain extent.
But, in the name of loyalty, Qiusi also acts fairly and fairly, so he probably wouldn't do such a thing...
But the question of whose hands Yuan Tan died is no longer important.
What matters is now, the moment!
Guo Tu raised his eyelids, but still didn't say anything.
Dare I ask where the plan will come from? Yuan Shang looked at Shen Pei on the left, Guo Tu on the right, and asked expectantly. Yuan Shang has been trapped in Yecheng for too long, and he even felt that he had forgotten the scenery outside the city.
What happened? When I think of the records of the siege of the city for several years in other places in the books, I shudder. I wish I could end this painful life immediately and return to a state of natural freedom.
The judge will follow his plan! The judge said in a low voice, since Cao Cao and his thieves are talking about peace talks, they might as well secretly send people to Hussar's place in the name of peace talks to ask for their help! Yecheng is now besieged, and it is very difficult to get out.
, and now that Cao Cao expressed his desire for peace talks, it just gave Yuan Shang Shenpei and others an excuse to send people out generously, and then take the opportunity to divert a few people to the hussar general Fei Qian...
When Yuan Shang heard the word reinforcements, he was overjoyed and immediately said: That's very good! Very good! Then act according to the plan! Act according to the plan!
Guo Tu rolled his eyes and understood the thoughts behind Shen Pei's strategy. He coughed and said: If the hussar comes to help, the crisis in Yecheng can be solved... However, brother Zhengnan, this hussar general may not be friendly with us.
...After Guo Tu finished speaking, he looked towards the north. The meaning was very obvious. If he wanted to act as the Jizhou agent under General Hussar, or temporarily cooperate with General Hussar, compared to Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi seemed
There are some advantages...
Now that Gongze has said this, should there be a countermeasure? Might as well say it bluntly... Shen Pei did not wait for Yuan Shang to reply and asked directly. At this stage, to be honest, the three brothers of the Yuan family are not very good, it just depends on which price is higher.
.
Shen Pei didn't like Cao Cao, not only because Cao Cao was an eunuch, which was the most disgusting trait for a nobleman's son, but more importantly, when Cao Cao was still under Yuan Shao, there was a fight between Shen Pei and Cao Cao.
It was an unpleasant experience, and although in the end both of them shook hands and made peace with Yuan Shao's mediation, the trial match only gave up on the surface because of Yuan Shao's face, and did not really say that they forgave Cao Cao.
Of course, Shen Pei said that he was definitely not being petty or stubborn.
Putting aside personal emotional issues, Fei Qian is more suitable than Cao Cao for Jizhou. After all, Fei Qian's main power is concentrated in Shanxi, so even if Yuan Shang expressed his surrender to Fei Qian, Fei Qian would not be able to do so for a while.
It will be difficult to control the entire Jizhou. Most of the time, Jizhou nobles like Shenpei will be needed to control the Jizhou territory. This will give Shenpei and others a chance to increase their strength again. When the time comes, Yuan Shang...
As long as Yuan Shang died with Fei's potential, the judge felt that it was pretty good. After all, Yuan Tan died in Cao Cao's hands. In comparison, being able to live safely in Ye like Liu Zhang in Sichuan was considered to be worthy of Yuan Shao.
entrusted.
In the current situation, it is better to be able to save Yuan Shang than to be unable to save anything at all, right?
Although it's not fair to Yuan Shang, but with all the people in the house, is An's egg ready?
So comparing Cao Cao and Fei Qian, I would rather choose Fei Qian for a match.
But as Guo Tu said, Fei Qian and Yuan Xi seem to have more contact. For Fei Qian, wouldn't it be more in Fei Qian's interests to choose a weaker Yuan Xi? Just like back then.
They chose Yuan Shang instead of Yuan Tan during the match trial.
Guo Tu stroked his beard, was silent for a moment, and said: Someone has a plan to separate them... It's just...
Shen Pei was slightly startled, as if he thought about what Guo Tu was going to say, and hesitated a little.
Without saying a word, Yuan Shang immediately expressed his position: As long as there is a good strategy that can be used to take advantage of the current crisis, there is no harm in just saying it! If there is something wrong, someone will take the responsibility!
This is the wisdom of Brother Zhengnan... Guo Tu thanked him, and then said, if he wants to separate, he can just send the Zhen family to Chang'an...
Zhen?! Yuan Shang’s eyes widened.
Because Yuan Shao left very suddenly, Yuan Xi's original family was in Yecheng and did not follow Yuan Xi to Youzhou. Then after Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had a falling out, there was no reason to be happy.
He sent Yuan Xi's family to Youzhou, which was somewhat of a handle.
Now Guo Tu proposed to send Zhen to Chang'an, which made Yuan Shang hesitate.
Speaking of which, Yuan Shang watched Zhen Mi grow up in the past few years...
When Yuan Shao agreed to the marriage between Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi was still young, so Yuan Shang didn't know what happened to Zhen Mi. However, in recent years, it seems as if a pearl has washed away the dust, and as if real gold has passed by.
Refined by fire, Zhen Mi seems to be more enchanting day by day, and her beauty is also increasing day by day, which makes Yuan Shang sometimes involuntarily come up with some bold ideas...
This... Yuan Shang hesitated, after all, they are the second brother's family... How wrong is it?
Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Shang and knew what he was thinking. After all, young people can feel stiff when they see a motionless figure, let alone such a large piece of lively color. Guo Tu also felt that
Zhen Mi is indeed very beautiful, but if she does not have the strength to protect her beauty, her beauty can easily lead to disaster.
Furthermore, both Guo Tu and Shen Pei have passed the age where blood is too concentrated in the lower body, causing cerebral ischemia. Even if they feel amazing when they see a woman, it is only for a while. For Shen Pei Guo Tu
He said that what he considers more is the interests of the whole, including his own interests and the interests of his family.
Therefore, when he thought he could sell Zhen Mi at a good price, Guo Tu did not hesitate to sell Zhen Mi. Anyway, Zhen Mi was from Jizhou, not even his own...
Young Master, do you think Mrs. Zhen is extremely beautiful? Guo Tu asked unceremoniously.
Yuan Shang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rolled his eyes twice, and said hesitantly: This... can be considered...
Guo Tu said with a smile: If not, how can we use the strategy of alienation? This strategy has three uses. One can be as brother Zhengnan said. It can be used as a stratagem, under the pretext of peace talks, to slow down the army, go out of the city to collect firewood, and supplement the needs of the city.
…
Secondly, it can disrupt Cao Cao's plan and show that we all trust Hussar and have not listened to Cao Cao's lies...
Three, you can fix the heart of the city... If the city knows that we are united with the Hussars, they should fix it...
If it weren't for Zhen Mi's beauty, this divorce plan wouldn't have worked at all.
Yuan Shang, who has a brother relationship, behaves like this, so how can Fei Qian, who is still in his prime, endure it? Even if he can, the key is whether Yuan Xi thinks Fei Qian can endure it?
At this time, if you try to stir things up a little bit, Yuan Xi, who was originally in a cooperative relationship with Youzhou and Fei Qian, must be suspicious and may even have resentment. So as long as there is a little spark, the relationship between Yuan Xi and Fei Qian will be
Naturally it falls apart.
Anyway, as soon as Zhen Mi arrived in Chang'an, this yellow mud would be smeared on the crotch of the Hussars General.
But... Yuan Shang still hesitated and said, after all, they are brother and sister-in-law...
Guo Tu sneered and said, "Young Master regards him as a brother. How can he be a bystander when his younger brother is in trouble? If he still cares about brotherly love, why is he so late in Youzhou sitting on the wall and watching without a single soldier to come to his aid? My lord is concerned."
The matter of criticism... Haha, I must say that we thought that the second young master had surrendered to Hussar and sent his wife to reunite with us. What about the rest, haha...
Yuan Shang's eyes rolled, and the color on his face gradually turned livid. The pain he had experienced these days surged into his heart. His affection for Yuan Xi was finally submerged under the more personal hatred. Shan! Just follow the public policy.
