The fight was lively in the north, and Yuan Cao, a pair of good friends in the south, was naturally unable to stop fighting.
No, because after receiving the news that the Bingzhou Army was stumbling upon the Xianbei people, although a big stone fell in his heart, it did not make Yuan Shao slow down his pace, and even made him feel slightly nervous to some extent.
atmosphere.
Yuan Shao did not have the slightest understanding of the internal problems of the Xianbei people through various channels. He was also afraid of the increasingly terrifying war beasts, so he threw them to the Bingzhou Army and let them fight each other. For Yuan Shao, it is now
The best choice.
But at the same time, Yuan Shao also needs to capture more areas as soon as possible to expand his strength. After all, judging from the current situation, even if the Bingzhou army and the Xianbei people really fight to the death, Yuan Shao is not sure that he will be defeated in the confrontation.
Achieve 100% victory in the battle with any of the two disabled families.
Yes, 100%, this is what Yuan Shao demands of himself. After all, his opponents, whether they are the Bingzhou Army or the Xianbei people, are a group of people who like to do some unexpected things. Yuan Shao does not want a good situation that he manages because
A small sudden change, or some people's flash of inspiration caused them to suffer heavy losses.
The future of the Yuan family's dynasty will be even more glorious than that of the Han Dynasty.
Although he never mentioned it in his mouth, when he saw Li Shushi commanding the Bingzhou Army sweeping across the Western Regions, reopening the Protectorate, and allowing all the countries in the Western Regions, including Guishang, to come to Xuchang to worship again, he felt a little envious in his heart.
Jealousy and hate.
Therefore, he must do better, surpass the achievements of those who are not as good as him, and prove that his Yuan Shao and his Yuan family's bloodline must surpass those of humble bloodline. Only people with noble bloodline like him can...
Qualified to lead this country.
Yuan Tan and Zang Ba in the east are a good pair of rivals. One of them has quite abundant resources and can mobilize enough power. Although it is not that no one has jumped over the top to write to him to impeach Yuan Tan for various atrocities in Qingzhou, but
All these things were suppressed by Yuan Shao. Not only because it was not easy to change generals on the spot during a war, but also for other purposes.
As for Yuan Tan's opponent Zang Ba, although he is not top-notch in terms of ability and strength, as a descendant of the famous country man Zang Jie, he has been active in the mountainous areas of Taishan County and Langye County all year round. Relying on the complex terrain of the mountainous areas, he can still
Bringing some trouble to Yuan Tan.
After lobbying, Sun Ce in the south had basically decided to temporarily reconcile with Liu Biao and turned north.
Yuan Shao could see that the young cub was as ambitious as the one in Jinyang City, and even had the ability to match his ambition on the battlefield. However, he had been trapped by the secret hostility of the powerful Jiangdong family before.
, so that he could not exert his full power. If Yuan Shao hadn't personally taken action, it would not have been that easy for Sun Ce to go north with confidence.
Of course, even if Sun Ce can capture Xuchang as he said, occupy a large area around Huaisi and become a new disaster, it is still not a big problem for Yuan Shao. After all, whether Sun Ce's inner circle is stable. That's just
In a single thought, Yuan Shao turned his hand into clouds and turned into rain. This is definitely not an empty statement.
At least in terms of assimilating powerful local families, Sun Ce obviously did not have as long as the Bingzhou Army to build a relatively stable system. Even if Yuan Shao had the intention to use it, he would still encounter many obstacles.
Of course, there are still some things that worry Yuan Shao, such as... the irascible Yan Liang.
Yan Liangwen is an ugly and gay couple. Even Yuan Shao knows this very well. In fact, whenever Yuan Shao sees these two guys walking to the martial arts arena arm in arm or with a bad smile on their faces, they plan to go to a gold selling cave.
When you do bad things, you will think of yourself, Cao Cao, and other friends in the world, probably the same way.
After that, he was free, but it was a pity that he could not stay in that era forever... Okay. His thinking seemed to be a little off track.
The relationship between Yan Liang and Wen Chou is very good, so when Yan Liang heard that his good friend was killed by Cao Cao's army, and the family treasures became Cao Cao's trophies, he was always irritable and uneasy, and kept asking Yuan Shao.
Jinyan expressed that he would go south to take revenge.
Some people say that this is Yan Liang's attempt to snatch back the valuable treasure inherited from his family, but Yuan Shao is still more willing to believe that Yan Liang just wants revenge. If he really valued the treasure so much, he would not have borrowed it so easily.
To Wen Chou.
That's right.
Precisely because Yuan Shao felt that he could understand Yan Liang's mood very well, Yuan Shao patiently rejected Yan Liang's requests again and again, and his tone was very calm every time, and he did not seem to be angry because of Yan Liang's offensive actions.
After all, punishing your own general for such a trivial matter is a stupid thing no matter how you look at it.
And more importantly, Yuan Shao needed Yan Liang and needed Yan Liang to guard the Quyi Division of the Bingzhou Army in Hanoi for him.
After all, Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong have proven through their actions that these two guys are often a bit unreliable at important moments.
Well, it is not difficult for Yuan Shao to figure out what happened that day, but he did not punish Chunyu Qiong and others for their actions.
This is naturally a result of the preference for outsiders.
Although Wen Chou's death in battle made Yuan Shao a little sad, in the final analysis it only happened for a while, and there was even an inexplicable joy in his heart. After all, from the time Yuan Shao established his own power in Jizhou, most of the military power was in his hands.
In the hands of the Jizhou native faction, those soldiers and generals who had followed Huangfu Song in his expedition to the west had always been a very troublesome group for Yuan Shao.
How much of a headache is it?
Even though Yuan Shao continued to support his crony Chunyu Qiong to share his power and secretly supported the outsiders to divide and bribe Jiang Qi, it still did not have a serious impact on the group.
This situation made Yuan Shao very worried. He was afraid that he would be able to suppress these Jizhou natives who had real power while he was alive, but his sons, whether it was the eldest son Yuan Tan or the third son Yuan Shang whom he was more optimistic about, seemed to have a hard time.
Control those arrogant and powerful generals, and if there is any "yellow robe", it will definitely be something Yuan Shao does not want to see.
Although there is no allusion of "yellow robes on one's body" at this time, Yuan Shao will not forget to prepare for a rainy day.
In other words, the Yuan family's fortune trajectory is roughly the same. Although it is said that they mainly started in literary affairs, they are not different in essence.
It was probably because of Yuan Shao's attitude that the excited Yan Liang felt despair about Yuan Shao sending troops to avenge Wen Chou in a short period of time. After all, even though he and Wen Chou were both strong generals, as a descendant of Yan Hui, Yan Liang had been forced by his family since he was a child.
I read a lot of books.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Yan Liang chose to run away from home when the rebellious period came. However, books are not read in vain. Even if they once felt that they were not very useful and boring, those books will always be useful as time passes.
by the time.
It's a pity that Yan Liang hopes that he doesn't know anything at this time, because then he can safely guard the west gate for Yuan Shao, instead of being haunted by the ghost of his friend day and night like now, every time he closes his eyes
time.
The familiar figure will appear in front of you. Unfortunately, it is not the heroic or wretched expression of the past, but it is covered in blood, with sword wounds everywhere on the body, and even the tragic state of the body and head being separated, as well as the eyes that cannot rest in peace, the round stare.
eyes closed.
"If I can't take revenge, I, Yan Gongji, probably won't have the shame to live in this world."
When Yuan Shao once again rejected Yan Liang's request to raise troops to the south. Looking south in the distance, Yan Liang's eyes were full of gloom.
So, on a dark and stormy night, Yan Liang's headquarters, where the main force was stationed in Dangyin, suddenly acted abnormally.
I have said before that there are many ferries on the Yellow River. For example, between Hanoi and Henan there are Mengjin, Xiaopingjin and other places, which are among the eight passes of Luoyang. There are also very famous ferries in Dongjun and Hebei.
, for example, there is Baimajin in the Baima area where a fierce battle just took place. And Yanjin is also a famous ferry.
Of course, unlike thousands of years later, the reason why Yanjin was famous at this time was not because of any important wars that had taken place here, but because Ziyu, one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, was in
There is an allusion here about "the place where Tantai Ziyu threw a jade to cut off the dragon", and even the surname Tantai was once
It once became a prominent surname in Taiyuan County. It left the hall names of "Zhanjiotang" and "Ruinbitang" in Jinyang. However, times have changed. If the descendants of the Tantai family want to restore the glory of their ancestors, they must
I can only study hard in Li Shushi's official school, strive to become an outstanding graduate, and get the qualifications for promotion.
Okay, it seems a bit off topic.
Yanjin is not far from the mouth where the Qishui River merges into the Yellow River. It can be said that even if the Bingzhou Army is now facing Yuan Shao's Army across the river, it is not too difficult to monitor the movements of Yuan Shao's Army in Yanjin.
Perhaps it was because he was eager for revenge, or perhaps he simply did not think that the Bingzhou Army would react to his move south. Although the collection of ferries in the Yanjin area was quite cautious, it seemed that he did not intend to completely hide it from the other side.
Perhaps in their view, it was enough for them to surprise Cao Cao's army in Henan. So when Yan Liang's troops took action, even if their actions were secretive enough, the Bingzhou Army soon followed them.
I got the news immediately.
After all, the Bingzhou Army in Hanoi has been operating for a long time. Even if it is really impossible to completely control those powerful families, it does not take much effort to lay some "hidden stakes" unknown to ordinary people in the city, even in places where Yuan Shaojun cannot notice.
The spies of the Bingzhou Army also performed extremely well. When Dang Yin fell, these people did not expose or withdraw in a hurry. Instead, they hid themselves deeper and played their due role at such a moment.
"Mr. Xiaozhi, now Yan Gongji has made some moves. As expected, he should be preparing to lead his troops south. Although sir's plan is not unsophisticated, the lord is now leading the main force in the north. We are waiting to see if this move will irritate Yuan Shao.
Does he choose to go into full-scale war with our army? Of course, Yi is not afraid of Yuan Shao, he is just worried that this move will miss the lord's great cause."
"The righteous general is worried about the affairs, which is no different from what the general thinks. Since the fight between Yuan and Cao has been so lively, no matter what the outcome is, it is a good thing for us, but the only bad outcome is that one of them loses.
It’s just too fast.”
"Mr. Xiaozhi, are you worried that Cao Cao will lose too quickly?"
"That's right, that's exactly what it is. A Wen Chou has already made Cao Cao's side miserable. If the lord hadn't arranged it in advance, Cao Cao might have been killed in a battle with White Horse. And without Cao Cao, how could the little emperor of Xuchang have done it?
He may be Yuan Shao's opponent. Even adding Liu Xuande will only give him a little more time to survive."
"But if our army intervenes too deeply, there is no guarantee that Yuan Shao will not suddenly turn his gun."
"So we are not seeking to regain lost ground or achieve great results in this battle, but we are just giving a signal to Cao Cao to let them know that we are still capable of supporting them when necessary."
"They probably won't appreciate it."
"Do we need their gratitude? As long as they don't lose too quickly, that's the biggest reward for helping us, isn't it~"
"That's right. Although it's still a bit regretful. After all, Cao Cao has taken Wen Chou's head, but we can't use Yan Liang's head to wait... Forget it, let's give this honor to Cao Cao.
, I hope they can work harder this time."
"The words of General Zhengdao will make a certain 'strong man' very sad."
"That's right, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
"So, which general does General Zhengdao think is best suited to carry out that mission?"
"I'm here!"
A strange voice suddenly intervened in the conversation between Qu Yi and Fazheng, which surprised both of them. After all, this was a top-secret place where they made their battle plans. How could anyone else enter here? No, even if it was
The generals under Qu Yi's command did not have such qualifications without permission, including the seemingly unruly Gan Ning.
But when they saw who the speaker was, the angry expressions on their faces immediately calmed down a lot.
"It turns out to be Shengran. Is there any new information from the front line?"
Although Cao Xing was also assigned to Qu Yi's command by Li Shushi, his status was somewhat different from that of other generals.
First of all, he has sufficient seniority. He has followed Li Shushi for far longer than all the generals in Qu Yi's Sizhou Front Army. Therefore, to a certain extent, it can be considered that Cao Xing has the responsibility of supervising the army, but he does not.
Just say it clearly
Secondly, it was because of the tasks he shouldered - considering that Qu Yi's side might have to bear a heavy war burden before, Cao Xing, the best scout and scout commander in the Bingzhou Army, was sent to assist.
Quyi.
Not only that, following Cao Xing to Qu Yi, there was also a "special operations force" of about 300 people. Although this was Li Shushi's statement, in the eyes of most people, they could only be regarded as elite at best.
Scouts just master some very special skills and can play a certain role when attacking certain special targets.
Of course, these people would not object to Li Shushi's mystification of this army, which he personally planned and implemented by Cao Xing. Anyway, it was just the product of Li Shushi's whim. After all, they had long been accustomed to Li Shushi's whim, adhering to their usual attitude.
If we evaluate Li Shushi’s “masterpieces” in a few years’ time, maybe there will be some surprises?
It can also be seen from this that although Cao Xing was nominally assigned to Qu Yi, he was actually still directly under Li Shushi. Therefore, Cao Xing's slightly rude behavior in some aspects as long as it does not involve principles
Everyone would turn a blind eye to the problem, not to mention that today's situation can only be regarded as an accident to be precise.
"If nothing else goes wrong, Yan Gongji must have played a deception. On the surface, he mobilized nearly 30,000 troops, and the ships he collected can ensure that these troops can be sent to the other side of the river within two to three hours.
But in fact Yan Liang’s real reliance is the five thousand elite men under his command, and he is probably worried that Yuan Shao will order those generals to stop his reckless act of revenge.”
"In other words, although the number of troops is reduced, the raiding capability has been greatly enhanced?"
"That's right."
"So what did you mean just now, Shengran?"
"Zhengdao also knows that I have an old relationship with Yan Gongji. Based on my lord's arrangement, I believe that Yan Gongji will never come back this time, so I just plan to go to the ferry to 'send off' him. It will be the last time I see him, and I also say goodbye."
It reduces the possibility of him returning north."
"Is that so? Then how many troops do you need?"
"Five thousand is enough. Although I probably won't be Yan Gongji's opponent, this time it's just a farewell."
"So that means I have to deal with at least 20,000 people... That's exactly what I want!"
"Now that the two generals have made a decision, I will ask the 'General Staff' to come up with a statement and plan as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiaozhi. In addition, should General Huang from the north also inform you?"
"That's natural. Otherwise, if General Huang knew that we were eating meat and soup here without him, it wouldn't be a problem for the two generals to be away all year round. I'm afraid that if they don't have the courage to return to Jinyang, there's no way they would be here.
It’s better to stay in your mansion to avoid the limelight.”
Although Fazheng was joking, except for the slightly raised corners of his mouth, no one could feel a trace of smile on his face. Obviously, when a battle was about to take place, this counselor who was deeply influenced by Jia Xu was the only one.
The idea is how to kill the enemy as much as possible within the range the enemy can bear.
As for the guns and oars being turned into ashes while talking and laughing?
That is indeed the realm Fa Zheng pursues, but it is a pity that his current conduct is obviously still lacking.
In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the room.
"Then Yan Liang and Wen Chou should be my lord's former friends."
"Yes, although we didn't spend much time together, we were very happy. Moreover, many of the Lord's businesses initially achieved good sales with the help of these two."
"I really didn't expect that..."
"This is probably something that can't be helped. After all, because we know them so well, we know how it will hinder our great cause if we let them stand in front of us."
"No, I'm not lamenting about whether it's too ruthless or ruthless, but I just feel that 'this is what a person who is qualified to compete for the world should do.'"
"Yes, since even the lord has such an awareness, how can we hold him back?"
