Chapter five hundred and eighty-fifth southern princes fighting a dragon and tiger
At the same time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were thinking about how to deal with Yuan Shu's forces to stabilize the situation in the south, and to promote the alliance of various princes as soon as possible to jointly fight against the threat of the Qin army in the north, which could sweep across all directions like a tiger out of its cage at any time, were there.
After receiving the information that Yuan Shuti's army had left Jingzhou, he almost sighed at the same time.
To be honest, with the current existence of the great enemy Ying Qin, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei actually had the slightest idea of attacking Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu himself was not really capable of committing suicide, he would have insisted on attacking such a sensitive person in today's world.
Under such circumstances, he broke the ground and proclaimed himself emperor, which made him claim to be a loyal member of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao, the minister, and Liu Bei, who claimed to be of royal blood and were able to win over people and step into the overall situation of the world, were in an awkward situation. They would not be so decisive when Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were fighting and clearly had the upper hand.
Under the terrifying pressure brought by Ying Qin, he sent troops to Huainan.
Especially Cao Cao, there was a Wang Zuo under his command who planned to join forces with the princes to attack the Qin Dynasty.
In this person's heart, he will not allow all the princes who may unite to fight against Qin to have disputes with each other and fall into internal strife. For him, the current number one enemy will only be to conquer Xiliang
The remaining troops successively defeated a series of powerful enemies such as Yuan Shao and the Xiongnu in the territory, and basically controlled the Yongliang Division and Jiyou, as well as the Great Qin Yingzheng who stood in front of Yizhou in Hanzhong County.
Under this overall situation, not to mention the princes like Yuan Shu who have always been ignored by him, the tiger son Sun Ce who was praised by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei who have shown the temperament of a hidden dragon, as long as Ying Qin is not defeated, they cannot suppress it.
Mention that in a real confrontation, he would definitely avoid it if he could.
However, the bottom line in Xun Yu's heart has always been extremely strong, that the Han Dynasty is respected. Including serving his lord Cao Cao, he only followed him because Cao Cao, in Xun Yu's opinion, was the most likely Huo Guang to assist the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
.This is also the reason why in the original history, Cao Cao's ambition aroused and he proclaimed himself queen, which led to the tragic exit of Xun Yu, the king who had made great contributions.
Xun Yu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty is definitely difficult for most people among the current generation of descendants of aristocratic families to understand. Perhaps it can only be said that in the hearts of some people, stand and righteousness are far more important than anything else, and they have no regrets even if they sacrifice their lives for it.
Regret, this kind of persistence has nothing to do with the level of ability or talent, only the spirit will last forever.
The reaction is the same for Yuan Shu. As long as he does not proclaim himself emperor, under the threat of Ying Qin, he will dominate Yangzhou and dominate the south of the Yangtze River. Xun Yu is still within the limit of tolerance. The calculation is also
Well, regardless of oppression, as long as Xun Yu believes that his threat to the Han Dynasty is not as great as that of Ying Qin, then Yuan Shu will always be safe.
As long as Yuan Jiujiu did not commit suicide, Xun Yu even secretly helped Yuan Shu so that he could stabilize and contribute his strength to the crusade against the Qin Dynasty. Until the battle with the north was almost over, he would think about how to deal with it in the future.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu's unique brain circuit gave Xun Yu a heavy blow. In front of Xun Yu, who was 100% loyal to the Han Dynasty, even though he could rationally distinguish between priorities and gains and losses, the persistence in his heart made him absolutely unable to sit back and watch Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family.
Break the earth and proclaim yourself emperor.
As a prince of the Xun family, Xun Yu deeply understood that as the legitimate son of Yuan Shu and the Yuan family, once he broke the earth and proclaimed himself emperor and was safe and sound, the ambitions in the hearts of most princes would be like the water of the Yellow River breaking through the embankments.
The waves are coming down and cannot be stopped.
At that time, it would definitely be an intolerable blow to the Han Dynasty, which had already begun to collapse due to the rise of Ying Qin and the sudden collapse of the central government.
Therefore, only crazy killing and suppression is the most direct and simple way to intimidate Xun Yu at the moment. As long as he persists in this method and waits until the coalition of princes is established, Xun Yu will have a way to encourage the princes to elect one from the Liu family.
Even if the new emperor can only exist as a puppet, hope still exists after all, right?
...
Xia Cai County, Cao Jun camp.
Cao Cao put down the information in his hand and said, "Although this guy has matured a lot over the years, his fundamental nature remains the same. He doesn't understand the general situation and forgets his own interests. If it weren't for the enemy of Ying Qin, even if his plan could be successful, he would be complacent for a while.
, someone sees it as nothing more than a dry bone in a grave, which can be captured with just one hand!"
"My lord, your lord's talent and strategy are incomparable to that of Yuan Shu!" Xun Yu agreed softly with a smile on his face.
"Wen Ruo..."
Cao Cao met Xun Yu's caring gaze and shook his head indifferently, knowing clearly that this man, who was called his chief minister, was actually his confidant.
To be honest, Cao Cao's path in this life is indeed much more difficult than in the original history. Not only does he lack Guo Jia and other important civil and military officials, but he also loses the righteousness of Emperor Xiao to command the princes. He also has to face the enemy early.
The oppression of the Ying Qin forces, which in all aspects crushed Yuan Benchu, who had historically unified the four states of Hebei, by countless times.
It can be said that in the past year, apart from the fight with Lu Bu, Cao Cao did not feel at all comfortable, and the pressure in his heart was increasing day by day. Although he showed his domineering attitude when judging Yuan Shu, the fatigue in his expression showed no sign of it.
He couldn't hide it. If he looked carefully, his figure had obviously lost a lot of weight. To describe him as exhausted would not be an exaggeration.
However, it is clear that with Cao Cao's courage, how could he show his weakness? He smiled faintly and said: "Wen Ruo, the one in the north will not give us too long, what do you think we should do next?"
"Let's fight. At this point, we have no choice."
Xun Yu also closed his eyes to hide the confusion in his eyes, but the unconcealed tiredness in his expression instantly gave Cao Cao a clearer understanding of Xun Yu's state and their situation at this time.
In fact, given Cao Cao's ability, he would not have known anything about Xun Yu's plans. In other words, Xun Yu's plans could only be carried out with his promotion and permission. And it was precisely because of his knowledge that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.
Only then would Cao Cao have a more intuitive understanding of the severity of Xun Yu's plan to unite the princes to fight against Qin.
"Mr. Yuan..."
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with his eyes closed. The haze in his eyes became heavier and heavier. He forced out two words between his teeth and fell into silence.
Xun Yu's ears twitched slightly, and he could hear the anger in Cao Cao's heart.
In fact, as early as when Yuan Jiuling ordered Ji Ling to abandon Yingchuan and Yuzhou, Xun Yu had already made some assumptions about the current situation. However, on the one hand, Cao Cao was not strong enough and Xun Yu did not have many trump cards at his disposal; on the other hand, Xun Yu
I think that with Yan Xiang and the surviving elders of the Yuan clan, Yuan Shu would not be so stupid at this time.
pity.....
Xun Yu shook his head. He was very clear about the current situation in the world. He naturally understood that now was not the time to regret. He immediately held his breath and concentrated, calmed down his mind, and quickly adjusted his state.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed. Xun Yu stared at Cao Cao closely, bowed and said: "My lord, I underestimated Yuan Gongli, and also overestimated the power of Yan Xiang and those elders of the Yuan clan.
.It was also the minister who ordered Ji Lingfang to
When he abandoned Yingchuan, abandoned Yuzhou, and retreated to seize Jiangxia, he took it for granted and let it go, and even ordered his secret agents to add fuel to the flames. Only then did Ji Ling capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop, unify the Huainan defense line, completely explode his own ambitions, and pretend to be emperor.
."
"My lord, everything is my fault. Today's chaos in the south is the result. We missed the best opportunity to unite the princes to defeat Qin's rebels. I am guilty!"
Cao Cao looked indifferent, he naturally knew what was right and wrong. Although many of Xun Yu's plans were not revealed, and even the power of secret organizations such as Daqin Heibingtai were not aware of it, but as a member of the Cao family,
Lord, as the lord of Yanzhou, how could Cao Cao not know. But he trusted Xun Yu, or in other words, Cao Cao didn't know that besides trusting Xun Yu and letting Xun Yu plan, what else could he do when facing the man from the north?
What?
"Wen Ruo, get up!" After just a moment, Cao Cao silently waved his hand, "The situation has not reached that point yet, what crime are you guilty of?! Yuan Gongli is a dead body, sooner or later I will capture and kill him. Since he is willful
It’s arrogant, as an old friend, why shouldn’t I personally send him on his way?!”
"As for Ying Qin?" Cao Cao's expression became much more solemn, and then he said in a deep voice: "Although Benchu was defeated, the power he left behind was enough to buy us one to two years of development time. Since we can't unite the princes to fight against it in advance,
, then it’s not a bad idea to conquer Huainan, strengthen yourself, and when the time comes, fight between the north and the south!”
"Promise!"
Although the princes unite, there is no shortage of opportunities to win once the Qin army has gone through three battles with the Xiongnu, Hebei, and the Yellow River and is exhausted, but I am not very sure about the chance of success. "
"Now, since chaos has arisen in the south, this strategy will end in vain, but we can take this opportunity to take Huainan in one fell swoop, and then wait and see the opportunity. If the north does not move, we will seize the Jiangbei area by force and take all the south.
, the world is divided into two parts, and the situation is unclear. If the north moves, the situation is unclear. Then we can also unite Jiangdong Sun Ce, Qingxu Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Jingzhou Liu Biao and other existing forces in our country to fight against the north."
"My lord, I believe that as long as we can hold on to the early offensive pressure from the north, then given the temperament of the princes from all sides, even the one in Shu will definitely be ready to make a move. By then, the princes' attack on Qin will not be impossible again in the world.
"
"Take Huainan..." Cao Cao lowered his head and pondered, "Will the princes from all sides sit back and watch?"

"Don't worry, my lord, we have the upper hand now. Yuan Jiu's entire army invades Jingzhou. Liu Jingsheng must protect Jingzhou first. Nanyang Lu Bu is in bed. Even if there is any movement, we can only attack Jingzhou first. As for Jiangdong Sun Ce, Jiangdong Chu
The several counties are unstable, the military is not strong, there are alien tribes across the mountains, and wealthy families are ready to take action. If we attack Yuan Shu's power, he will inevitably be unable to control it. It can be said that the only one who can really compete with us now is Liu Xuande of Xuzhou!
"
"However, even though Liu Xuande captured Xuzhou from Tao Gongzu, the internal aristocratic families did not completely surrender, and there were many hidden dangers. As for Qingzhou, one was under the iron heel of the Qin army, the other was that the Yellow Turbans still existed within the territory, and the third was that Kong Rong was closed.
If he doesn’t come out, it all depends on the support of a martial artist. Although this martial artist supports him, he is not his own power after all. I dare to say that as long as we show our attitude, Huainan, Liu Xuande does not dare and will not fight with us!"
Cao Cao suddenly stood up, his whole body full of momentum, and his powerful and domineering aura suddenly rushed out in all directions like real substance. He opened his eyes wide and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Then fight. Just follow Wen Ruo's strategy and take the first step.
Shouchun, then I can take the land south of the Yangtze River if I can. If I can't take it, then I will personally hold an alliance in the land of Huainan. I don't believe it. Under the threat of the iron hoof from the north, we can't form an alliance to resist Qin in this land in the south.
