The only place where Cao Dabailian can use his brain is Yuzhou in the south.
At present, except Yuan Shu, the governor of Runan, there is no one worth mentioning in Yuzhou.
According to Xun You's original idea, Cao Cao should withdraw all the troops from Shanyang County to Chenliu, and then make a desperate move to capture Yingchuan County with all his strength and get the first springboard into Yuzhou.
Then, relying on Yingchuan, it competed with Yuan Shu of Runan for control of Yuzhou.
This suggestion was rejected by Cao Dabailian.
I don’t know what other people think, but in Cao Cao’s mind, Pingyuan Lin Feng is definitely his biggest enemy in his life. To describe it with a saying passed down by later generations: The only heroes in the world are Zhirou and Caoer.
He sent Xiahou Dun to carry a heavy army to Shanyang County, not with the intention of attacking the plains, but to prevent him from being caught off guard by a sudden attack from Lin Feng in his sleep.
From this we can see how much Cao Cao was afraid of Lin Feng.
Therefore, no matter how Xun You explained and deduced, Cao Cao was unwilling to withdraw Shanyang's 40,000 troops at will.
As a result, there were only 30,000 elite troops in Chenliu City. After taking Yingchuan County, they still needed to divide their troops to defend it. The remaining troops were simply not enough to capture Yuzhou.
At this time, even Xun You was in trouble. After all, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw, and he did not even have enough troops to attack, so even if he had all kinds of clever tricks, it would be of no avail.
In the end, Chen Gong, who was often too upright to talk to others, reminded Xun You.
"Since the biggest obstacle to conquering Yuzhou is Yuan Shu in Runan, why not use a trick to transfer Yuan Shu away?"
Xun You was overjoyed when he heard this, and his imagination immediately opened up, so he proposed to Cao Cao a plan to instigate eighteen princes, light beacons everywhere, and take advantage of the chaos in the world to seize Yuzhou.
Gongsun Zan attacked Dingyuan only because of a letter from Cao Cao, in which Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan agreed to form an alliance and promised to help Gongsun Zan dissuade Yuan Shao from going north. After receiving Cao Cao's guarantee, Gongsun Zan brazenly led his army into Bingzhou in an attempt to open a way southward into the Central Plains.
Passage. Because a fool also knows that attacking Jizhou will never gain any benefit. You must first climb over the mountain of Yuan Shao, and then challenge the sea of Lin Feng. Both are extremely difficult goals. It is better to change your mind and take a detour.
Yuan Shao's entry into Han Fu had nothing to do with Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao felt that the time was ripe and wanted to expand his territory.
The Xiliang mutiny was all due to the efforts of Chen Gong. Chen Gongtai went to Wuwei in person, tried his best to persuade Ma Teng to raise troops, and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back.
Liu Biao's crusade against Sun Jian was all due to a secret order from the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty. For Liu Biao, both the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Chenliu and the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Pingyuan were of the bloodline of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and both were qualified to ascend to the supreme position of the Nine-Five-Year Plan. Yes.
After receiving the secret order from Emperor Han Shao, Liu Biao sent troops to attack Sun Jian.
Xun You did this for no other reason than to drive Sun Jian into Yangzhou, because the ten counties of Yangzhou had already been aroused by him one by one, and each of them raised their own banners to form de facto independence.
In addition, Cao Cao personally gave Tao Qian and
Yuan Shu wrote to them, asking them to use their prestige to mediate the chaos in Yangzhou and relieve the people from hanging upside down.
So Tao Qian's attention was drawn to Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu was successfully brought to Dou'er Field, stupidly preparing to send troops to unify Yangzhou.
Now Cao Cao is waiting for Yuan Shu to lead his army to leave Runan. Once there is a vacuum in Yuzhou, the 30,000-strong army in Chenliu, which is fully prepared, will quickly attack to win the territory that is enough for Cao Cao to settle down.
As for whether Yuan Shu will lead his troops to fight back to his hometown, are you kidding me? Will the heroes of Yangzhou who were hurt by Yuan Shu's beating let him go so easily?
Let's grind slowly in Yangzhou, it makes me feel when I think about it, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Wang Lang, Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, so many heroes of the last days gathered together, how can they overthrow the ten counties of Yangzhou?
That's why Xun You persuaded Cao Da to calm down and wait for the start of the Yangzhou War.
Cao Cao raised his glass to Xun You and slowly drank a glass of hot wine.
"Gongda, if you go to Xiliang from Gongtai, you won't encounter any danger, right?"
Xun You shook his head slightly: "Gongtai is alert and resourceful. How can Ma Shoucheng, a mere horse thief from Northern Xinjiang, touch him?"
In fact, Xun You's words also represent the contempt of the Central Plains clan for the Xiliang clan.
Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng's background was not simple. He was a descendant of Ma Yuan, the founding general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a descendant of a well-known family.
However, when Ma Teng was born, his family was already in decline. With his own talents, when Xiliang was gradually becoming popular, he encountered a rebellion by the Qiang people in Xiliang.
At that time, the Han officials in Xiliang were almost slaughtered. Ma Teng and several sworn brothers were forced to join the rebel army. They were later defeated by Dong Zhuo with the help of General Zhonglang's mansion. Only then did he accept the imperial court's recruitment and became a Han official again.
.
Xun You scornfully called Ma Teng a horse thief, which was actually a contemptuous attitude.
Cao Cao did not agree with Xun You's statement, because when Dong Zhuo defeated Ma Teng, Cao Cao was also one of the participants.
He had dealt with Ma Teng when he was in Xiliang, and he knew that this man was a brave and invincible man on the battlefield and was not an easy person to deal with.
Of course, Cao Dabailian did not pay much attention to Ma Teng. The people in Xiliang paid too much attention to force and ignored the use of strategy in war. If they really wanted to fight, Cao Cao would have enough confidence to defeat Ma Teng again.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao also put down his worries about Chen Gong. Yes, with Chen Gongtai's full of strategies, can he still be calculated by others in the northwest border?
On the first day of March in the second year of Chuping, the spring breeze was strong, and even though I was wrapped in a fur coat, I could still feel the cold outdoors.
Yuan Shu, wearing armor, inspected the 50,000 troops under his command one by one on the general platform.
These batches of elite soldiers are all the iron-blooded legions that Yuan Shu relies on to control the city. Now he will lead his invincible warriors on an expedition to Yangzhou to establish a new base for the old Yuan family and greatly expand the influence of the Yuan family in the Han Dynasty.
.
Yuan Shu grew up
Since he was young, he has been extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, who was three years older than him. In his opinion, if Yuan Shao had not been born in a good pregnancy and became the eldest son and grandson of the old Yuan family, how could he have suppressed him for more than twenty years.
What does Yuan Shao know? He talks with a bunch of scribes all day long, but fails to accomplish anything practical.
Finally, the old Yuan family took advantage of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to form the Xiyuan Army, and intervened to control an elite force. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao beat him to pieces with his good cards. If not for the help of Yuan's disciple Chun Yuqiong, even
Yuan Shao himself almost couldn't escape Luoyang City.
If he were to control the troops and horses of Xiyuan, Dong Zhuo would never even think about stepping into Hangu Pass.
Now Yuan Shaoyuan has gone to the north, and foolishly went to Jizhou to develop, which just gave him a good opportunity to manage the Central Plains.
Now that all the counties in Yuzhou have pledged their allegiance to him privately, he can only wait until the horse rides on Yangzhou to submit a report and become the governor of Yuyang and Yuzhou, becoming the largest local warlord since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Thinking of the shocked faces of the old antiques at home, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile.
The chief military advisor behind him, Yang Hong, was full of strategies and could always anticipate the enemy's opportunities.
The three-pointed, two-edged sword in the palm of the chief general Ji Ling has a bravery that is unmatched by ten thousand men. On the battlefield, beheading generals and seizing flags is like entering an uninhabited land.
With this kind of literary and military assistance, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things?
Let's look at the shabby warriors and poor scholars under Yuan Shao. Who can be regarded as Ji Ling's sword? Who can see through Yang Hong's magical plan?
After the army review was completed, Yuan Shu raised the long sword in his hand into the air.
"After listening to the order, all the sons will set off on the journey from now on, and send troops to Lujiang County to attack the treacherous people."
The three armies raised their arms and shouted in unison. General Ji Ling stepped down from the general platform, got on his horse, took the lead in leaping on his horse and whipping his whip, and led the army southward.
Yang Hong said softly behind Yuan Shu: "Lord, let's get ready to go."
Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is the moment when a man has made great achievements."
At the same time, Yuan Shao, who had just captured Changshan County, stood at the top of Changshan City, pointing his riding whip to the south and said: "If my silly brother really sends troops to Yangzhou, I'm afraid he will never return to Yuzhou again."
Feng Ji, the counselor standing behind him on the left, asked softly: "My lord, do we really want to give up this great opportunity to plot Youzhou and just sit back and watch Gongsun Zan conquer Bingzhou?"
Yuan Shao sneered: "How is it possible? Cao Mengde wants to use Yuan Gongluo to seize the opportunity and seize Yuzhou. How can I let go of Youzhou?"
The judge on the right suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid the Han Wenjie in Yecheng is worried that the lord will continue to send his troops south, right?"
Yuan Shao sighed: "In fact, I am not willing to attack Wenjiegong. It is just a show to show to the mad dogs of Pingyuan Forest."
Lin Feng, who had just rode his horse to the foot of Qinghe City, suddenly looked up to the sky and sneezed: "Grandma is a strong man, is it because she wore too little clothes and caught a cold?"
