Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Seven Live up to others!
Although Yuan Shu's growth is not small, compared to other leaders of powerful forces, his growth is too late. The good situation has already become the material to promote his growth in the process of his growth. Let him
While growing into a qualified leader of a force, he also buried the profound heritage of his family.
Today, the Yuan family is in trouble internally and externally, and is about to be destroyed. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, even Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and even Liu Biao, who is curled up and licking his wounds, are all waiting for the gluttonous feast that he can enjoy after his destruction.
Of course, with the oriole catching the cicada and the mantis behind, the seriously injured Liu Biao, while looking forward to Yuan Shu's destruction, seemed to have become a meal in the eyes of Lu Bu, a fierce tiger. Even the princes of the southern Central Plains, in the eyes of Ying Zige
, so they are not just a group of stubborn and stubborn people who eat on the plate.
It can only be said that the general trend of the world is divided and combined. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. This has always been the case. It just depends on who can become the strongest predator early in this process and devour the world.
.
Back to the present, after Cao Cao received the information that Yuan Shu had returned to Huainan, he immediately went to look for Liu Bei. In fact, this time Yuan Shu was dispatched, and Liu Bei, like Cao Cao, had no choice but to come down. After all, a man who had just experienced a battle, a newbie.
The purpose of taking control of Xuzhou is to stabilize and develop it for a period of time, not to send troops for conquest.
However, after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and was forced to send troops, the two people had different ideas. Liu Bei's own family knew his own affairs, and at the same time, facing the huge pressure from the north, he was willing to let Cao Cao become stronger, so he did not occupy Huainan.
His plan, with only Zhang Fei and 18,000 elites, has fully demonstrated his power.
Attitude. Of course, if he could get some benefits from the opportunity, he would naturally not refuse it. As for Cao Cao, after discussions with Xun Yu, Cao Cao, who had experienced wars one after another, and whose vitality was slightly turbulent, this time he wanted to swallow Yuan Shu.
The plan is to use the territory to nourish oneself and regain a wave of health to deal with the pressure from Yingzige in the north.
The different situations they faced and their different ideas not only made them different in sending troops, but also after finally defeating Shouchun City, they faced changes in their minds when faced with the hedgehog-like Shouchun City run by Yan Xiang.
Nature is also different.
What Cao Cao was thinking about was how to capture Shouchun and control the entire Huainan land for his own use with minimal losses. For this goal, his subordinate Xun Yu even thought of diverting the Huai River to flood the city, which would harm the peace of the world.
The reason for the desperate plan.
As for Liu Bei, all he wanted from the beginning to the end was to reduce his own losses. After Cao Cao captured Shouchun and eliminated the pseudo-emperor's ancestral temple, he could return to Xuzhou and stabilize the situation in Xuzhou as soon as possible. It would be best to persuade Kong Rong and slowly control Qingzhou.
Take him under your command so that you can have the strength to fight back against Ying Qin.
Different ideas made the two sides feel a lot dirty when facing the fortified city of Shouchun. Cao Cao hated the fact that Liu Bei always reserved his strength and was unwilling to fight, while his own soldiers continued to lose money in forceful attacks. If it weren't for Xun
Yu persuaded them, and since they were facing a formidable enemy, they might have fallen out long ago.
This is why Cao Cao rushed to find Liu Bei as soon as he got the news that Yuan Shu had returned to the army, and it was inevitable that Liu Bei and his subordinate Zhang Fei would help.
"Xuande, Yuan Jiujiu has returned to the army!" In the camp outside Shouchun City, Cao Cao and Zhang Fei said in a deep voice to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who were welcoming them: "Shouchun City is strong. For the past few days, we have only ordered soldiers to break the city.
The losses caused by the forceful attack are really not small. Now that Yuan Gongliu has returned to the army, it is a good opportunity to break the situation. It is the right time to cut off the rebels. Xuande will give his full support this time!"
Liu Bei knew clearly in his heart that Cao Cao was venting his dissatisfaction with sitting back and watching Cao's army attack Shouchun during this period, but he only let Zhang Fei lead the army to suppress the battle, but did not attack the city with his life. He did not take it seriously at the moment, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Meng
Brother De, don't worry, I will be in charge of Xuzhou Erlang for the first time.
I was in a hurry and failed to prepare enough siege equipment when I arrived, so I left Brother Cao and Erlang to attack the city alone. I felt very guilty. Now that the traitors of the Yuan family have returned, I, Erlang of Xuzhou, will definitely not let them have an easy time. However, our army is small and the enemy's force is strong.
Big, the main force is still going to be affected by Brother Meng De’s subordinates!”
"Of course!" Cao Cao nodded. As long as Liu Bei is willing to take Zhang Fei and Xuzhou elites to fight against Yuan Shu. If the main force is not the main force, it will be up to him to confront Yuan Shu head-on on the battlefield. He then discussed it with Liu Bei in detail.
After making some arrangements for dispatching troops, especially to continue to besiege Shouchun City and avoid the choice of soldiers and horses in the city to attack, the two of them went back to prepare.
...
"Report! My lord, Yuan's army has passed Lu'an! They are heading towards Feishui." Xia Houyuan was left behind by Feishui in Chengde County. While Cao Chun and more than 20,000 elites were targeting Shouchun, Cao Cao personally led the Wenwu Lian under his command.
Together with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, they also gathered more than 50,000 troops and waited for Yuan Shu on his final road back to Shouchun.
"Okay! Let's explore again!" Cao Cao was sitting in the middle, wearing armor and holding a sword, and ordered without raising his head. Then he stood up and said to Liu Bei beside him: "In this battle, we must act as an upright division.
, captured the Yuan thieves in one fell swoop, and looked to Xuande, Yide did not hesitate to use his own strength, and followed Wen Ruo's previous instructions."
"Brother Meng De, don't worry, be prepared to wake up!" Liu Bei nodded in response, then turned around and took Zhang Feiyuan to rectify his own troops.
Beside Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun looked at the backs of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei silently, his eyes cold: "Brother, this person will be a formidable enemy the next day, and his younger brother Zhang Yide is very powerful. If there is a chance, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded silently, then smiled lightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Yuan Rang is overly worried. As long as anyone in the north is undefeated for a day, this Liu family and his two brothers can only be our allies in the end.
It should be a headache, at least it won’t be our turn in a short time!”
"Win Qin?!" Xiahou Dun fell into silence and couldn't help but raise his head and look to the north. Which hero of the Qin Dynasty had such power that Meng De felt powerless?!
"Although Ying Qin is strong, he is unpopular. It has been four hundred years since the fall of Bao Qin, and the hearts of the people have long been dispersed. Although he can show his power for a while, he will always be defeated by us!" But it was Xun Yu who noticed that the two men looked wrong.
, spoke quickly. No matter how powerful Ying Qin is, his spirit cannot be lost. Otherwise, if he is timid before fighting, how can he win? At this point, Xun Yu
Looking at Xiahou Dun next to him, he leaned over again and said sincerely: "My lord has great ambitions, knows people well and uses them well, wins the hearts of superiors and subordinates, has great righteousness, and is supported by scholars all over the world. It is precisely because he is stationed in the Central Plains to ward off the Qin Dynasty."
, is the best choice to counterattack Yu Si. After this battle, we can even cut off the Jianghuai River and connect the Central Plains. How can we fail to achieve this great cause?!"
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu calmly, sighing in his heart, Xun Yu's confidence in himself had been shaken, otherwise he would not have said this, but even so, what can he do, the general trend of the world will eventually be fought.
As soon as he thought about this, Cao Cao turned to look at the people around him and said in a calm tone: "I was born in troubled times, don't let down others, don't let down yourself, that's all..."
