Just as Cao Cao's reinforcements rushed to Yanjin, Yuan Shaojun in Liyang welcomed a man who claimed to know the inside story of Cao Cao's army.
"You said your name is Xu Huang? Are you the Yamen general under Cao Ahao?"
When he received a report that someone came to him for a job, Yuan Shao simply ignored him.
I'm just kidding, my country in Qi is full of talented people, and there are as many people looking for jobs as crucian carp crossing the river. As the king of Qi, if I see you every day, I won't have to do anything.
But just when Yuan Shao was about to order people to blow Xu Huang away, he heard that this guy came from Cao Cao, and he also knew the inside story of Cao Cao's army.
At this point, Yuan Shao became interested.
You know, Yan Liang's death confused Yuan Shao for a long time.
No matter how many times Cao Ah's general Ren Yuan Shao counted, he could not find anyone who could defeat Yan Liang, let alone kill him instantly.
Now that he had an insider, Yuan Shao immediately put down his arrogance and let Xu Huang come to him.
"Reporting to the King of Qi, the young general Xu Huang was once a general under the Han Chariot and Cavalry General Yang Feng, and was ordered to guard Emperor Xian before his arrival.
Just because Xiang Ji killed Emperor Xian in a sneak attack, the young general and other ministers fought for their lives against the Xiliang army and were seriously injured until now."
It was rare to see Yuan Shao, so Xu Huang hurriedly introduced himself to his family.
After all, we have protected the emperor before, right?
Sure enough, when Yuan Shao heard what Xu Huang said, his interest immediately increased.
"You mean? You are the general who protected Emperor Xian? The general of the Han army who fought with Xiang Ji and was defeated by Lu Bu?"
Because the incident in Chang'an had happened a long time ago, well-informed people could basically find out everything that happened at that time.
And this Xu Huang was one of the protagonists in his incident.
"Reporting to King Qi, it is the young general.
Because the young general hated the traitor Xiang Ji for his treason, he surrendered to Cao Cao after recovering from his injuries.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually formed an alliance with Xiang Ji for his own selfish interests, and even wanted to marry his daughter to the traitor.
The young general couldn't stand it, so he abandoned Cao Cao and joined the King of Qi."
The current situation is the most important time for Xu Huang.
Although the plan to destroy the alliance between Cao Cao and that person failed, he even used the name of his good friend Man Chong.
But just because of this, Xu Huang was inspired.
Why sacrifice the near for the distant? Instead of surrendering to the two southern emperors, it would be better to surrender directly to the northern overlord.
Even if the alliance is not broken, with my Xu Huang's ability and some previous qualifications, it is better than suffering under Cao Cao, right?
"What!?
You mean? Then Cao Ah Man formed an alliance with that Chu State Xiang Ji? He even wanted to get married? "
Shocked to hear Xin Mi, Yuan Shao suddenly became enlightened.
I just said, Cao A is so poor that he is almost pawning his pants, so how can he possibly organize them into an organized cavalry?
Also, if you put it this way, could it be that Yan Liang was killed by the general of Chu State?
"Tell me! Who killed Yan Liang!"
Without waiting for Xu Huang's reply, Yuan Shao, thinking of Yan Liang's death, quickly asked.
"King Qi, it was the traitor Xiang Ji who killed General Yan Liang!"
I'm overjoyed.
Xu Huang never expected that Yuan Shao had no idea about the alliance between Cao Jun and Xiang Ji.
This is really... arrogant to the point of being boundless.
Both countries are at war, why don't you arrange a few spies to explore the situation?
But in this case, the advantage would be too great for Xu Huang.
With first-hand information in hand, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will definitely look down on him.
"It's broken! Wen Chou! Someone is coming, hurry up and order all the people in the future to assemble in the big tent!"
But what made Xu Huang dumbfounded was that Yuan Shao ignored him at all.
Because Xu Huang left early, he didn't know that Yuan Shao had sent Wen Chou to seize Yanjin.
But if Xu Huang doesn't know, how can Yuan Shao not know?
He didn't know this book was coming before, so Yuan Shao only thought that Yan Liang was executed because of his carelessness.
But now that we know that it is Xiang Ji, we can already foresee what will happen if Wen Chou, who is only slightly more powerful than Yan Liang, encounters Xiang Ji.
"Xu Huang, you are very good. Please stay and serve under King Gu from now on."
Finally receiving the words he had dreamed of, Xu Huang quickly thanked her with great joy.
After a while, all the civil and military personnel under Yuan Shao arrived.
"Gentlemen, the lonely king has now received accurate information.
Cao Cao had formed an alliance with Xiang Ji of Chu State, and even Yan Liang was killed by Xiang Ji of Chu State himself.
Now Wen Chou is attacking Yanjin alone, and the lone king is afraid that he will make a mistake.
What can you teach me?"
Hearing that Yuan Shao actually said that Cao Cao had formed an alliance with the Chu State, the civil and military forces that were originally calm suddenly became noisy.
What's going on? Aren't Cao Cao and that Xiang Ji enemies? Aren't the two of them at war one after another in recent years?
Didn't several generals under Cao Cao already die at the hands of the Chu army?
Even Jia Xu massacred half of Yanzhou's urban and rural areas.
Can Cao Cao tolerate these?
Everyone was amazed.
This Cao Cao is indeed a very human being. He can endure what ordinary people cannot endure. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, he will be in great trouble in the future.
This has become the consensus of Yuan Shao's civil and military officials.
You must know that the strategy set by Yuan Shaojun at the beginning was just to raid Yanzhou and Qingzhou.
After the two states were completely stabilized, they mobilized all the troops from across the country to attack the Chu State, hoping to decide the outcome in a single battle.
However, because Liu Bei was too incompetent, Qingzhou's strategic purpose was not fully achieved, and instead he fought with the Chu army over Qingzhou.
However, despite mutual restraint, no large-scale armed conflict broke out.
As for Sizhou, which Cao Cao occupied? Yuan Shao really had no interest in that place.
What is the use of the dilapidated ten rooms and nine empty rooms? Moreover, if it occupies that dilapidated place, it will soon border Lu Bu.
You know, in today's world, Lu Bu poses the greatest threat to Yuan Shao.
Lu Bu has now destroyed Niu Fu and dominates San Fu and Xiliang. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of generals under his command. He has also fully accepted Dong Zhuo's hometown, Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Army.
If it is not necessary, Yuan Shao really does not want to conflict with Lu Bu at this time.
"Your Majesty, with the current situation, we can only quickly send generals to support General Wen Chou.
At the same time, Yi wants to inform General Wen Chou and ask him to be careful about Xiang Ji."
Yes, after learning that Xiang Ji personally led troops to aid Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's men reached a rare consensus.
With the current situation, we must defeat Cao Cao and occupy the entire territory of Yanzhou, and then enter the Central Plains.
Otherwise, Yuan Shao can only become a northern overlord.
"Okay! Which of the generals is willing to relieve the lonely king and lend a helping hand to Wen Chou?"
Now there are four pillars hanging in the courtyard: Wen Chou is in Yanjin, Zhang He is confronting Cao Cao, and Gao Lan is confronting the Chu army in Qingzhou.
Although he had countless generals under his command, Yuan Shao found that he had no one to send.
"King Qi! The last general Xu Huang is willing to go!"
