Chapter 40: The End of the Road [One Shift + Two Shifts]

Cao Cao said that taking advantage is of course taking advantage of Su Yunqing.

For Cao Cao, with Chen Deng helping him, it was already very easy to fight Xuzhou, plus Tao Qian was old after all, and he was always easily stimulated, Cao Cao saw that he was going to completely occupy Xuzhou, Tao Qian's body immediately couldn't hold on, and Xuzhou's already not very good shape suddenly became even worse.

Therefore, Cao Cao said that he was free to take advantage of it at this time, which was completely possible.

At present, Su Yunqing and Yuan Shaozheng are fighting in full swing, no one can take care of Cao Cao at this time, if Cao Cao sends troops, whether it is to fight Qingzhou or Jizhou to take advantage, it is no problem.

But as soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Guo Jia shook his head: "The lord must not attack Yuan Shao at this time, whether it is Jizhou or Qingzhou." โ€

Now Cao Cao didn't understand: "Why did Feng Xiao say this?" Su Yunqing is strong, Yuan Shao must do his best to deal with him at this time, how can he take care of me at this time? โ€

"Yuan Benchu is not worried," Guo Jia replied very directly: "What is worrying is Su Yunqing." โ€

Xi Zhicai also agreed with Guo Jia's opinion: "Who is Yuan Shao? Who is Su Yunqing? โ€

There is no need for Cao Cao to answer, Xi Zhicai continued: "The purpose of Su Yunqing's attack on Yuan Shao this time is to pocket the two states of Qing and Hebei, and obviously, as long as there is no accident, Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to resist, it can be said that these two states have been regarded as his own bag by Su Yunqing, if the lord goes to occupy it at this time, then in Su Yunqing's opinion, I am afraid that the lord is attacking the land that originally belonged to her, the lord, Yuan Shao is not worried, so Su Yunqing will inevitably have spare strength after defeating Yuan Shao, and at that time, Looking at the land that was occupied by the lord that originally belonged to her, what should Su Yunqing think? โ€

This will only lead to one result, Su Yunqing will regard Cao Cao as an enemy, and the next person to fight is probably Cao Cao.

But can Cao Cao resist it?

Apparently not.

Cao Cao has a Yanzhou in his hand, according to the time, Xuzhou will indeed be defeated at that time, but can the land of the two states compete with Su Yunqing, who already owns four states at that time?

What Xi Zhicai said was very reasonable, but Cao Cao didn't agree: "Even if that's the case, if I don't fight Yuan Shao, won't Su Yunqing come to attack me then?" โ€

Judging from Su Yunqing's series of actions, everyone understands that Su Yunqing is different from Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan is a loyal minister who worries about the country and the people, but at the same time, he is not too enterprising, he can just live in a state, but Su Yunqing is not.

Whether it is a series of policy changes after Su Yunqing took the throne, or the subsequent attack on Youzhou, and now the attack on Jizhou, all of these show that Su Yunqing cannot be equated with an ordinary woman.

Su Yunqing is determined to be in the world.

Such a person, as long as Cao Cao is still in the north for a day, then sooner or later he will face each other.

Cao Cao knew this very well, and as long as Su Yunqing occupied Yanzhou and Xuzhou again after cleaning up Yuan Shao, then there would be no doubt that Su Yunqing would dominate the north.

This is destined that Cao Cao will not be able to coexist peacefully with Su Yunqing forever.

Since it's destined to be impossible, there's no need to care, right?

Cao Cao felt that Su Yunqing would definitely beat him after beating Yuan Shao anyway, so he would simply take advantage of it, and in the end, the result was not bad.

"It would be wrong for the lord to think so," Xi Zhicai explained: "After Su Yunqing defeats Yuan Shao, her next target will never be Yanzhou, so as long as the lord does not take the initiative to make enemies with Su Yunqing, then at least for a few years, we don't have to worry about being her enemy." โ€

And take advantage of this time for them to develop themselves well, and only when they become strong can they have the ability to speak.

It can be said that Cao Cao was only a small step slower than Su Yunqing at the beginning, but now it has become a big step.

It's all to blame on Yuan Shao!

Cao Cao originally stayed well in Wei County, and his family background for many years was all in Wei County, but Yuan Shao began to wear Cao Cao's small shoes after forcing Han Fu away, and forced Cao โ–กโ–ก to Yanzhou.

However, Yanzhou is also pitted, the predecessor of Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai didn't know which tendon was drawn to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, well, just fight, but Liu Dai is particularly good at death, and finally pounced on himself, and was directly killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and Yanzhou also suffered heavy losses.

Cao Cao can't help it, after all, Yanzhou is also a state, more than Wei County, he has no land for the time being, at this time, there is a Yanzhou sent to the door, where is there a pick, Yanzhou is Yanzhou, and it is good to govern it well in the future.

However, as soon as Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, Yuan Shao began to come to Cao Cao to tear up, Yanzhou was weak and not Jizhou's opponent, Cao Cao was tossed by Yuan Shao, and he couldn't develop with peace of mind, until Su Yunqing knocked down Youzhou Yuan Shao finally realized that there was danger, so he let Cao Cao go to fight Qingzhou.

But because of this, Cao Cao has been repeatedly delayed and has always been unable to develop well, which has caused Cao Cao's current relative weakness.

From the time Su Yunqing sent troops to Youzhou, Cao Cao knew that sooner or later there would be a decisive victory between him and Su Yunqing, but now Xi Zhicai said that Su Yunqing would not come to fight him?

Just kidding, right?

Although Su Yunqing is not a smart person, she is better than being obedient, and which of Jia Xuxun and Mao Jue in Bingzhou is not a top smart person?

Even if Su Yunqing doesn't want to fight him, these people will also build Su Yunqing to fight, right?

Su Yunqing is not Yuan Shao's little princess who shows his temper, and from time to time he willfully pits his own strategists with a bloody face.

But since Xi Zhicai can say this, his reason is also very sufficient: "If Su Yunqing really defeats Yuan Shao this time, then her next target is either Si Li or Yongliang." โ€

Yongzhou is a newly established area, which is divided from the Sili area, and then part of it is divided from Liangzhou to form the current Yongzhou, and Yongzhou is the place occupied by Li Dao Guo Yan at this time.

Xi Zhicai's answer made Cao Cao frown slightly: "Why?" โ€

If you don't run away from Yanzhou, you can fight Yongzhou, Liangzhou, or even Si Li, which is completely unreasonable.

But this is not unreasonable, from the fact that Su Yunqing did not fight Jizhou before but went to Youzhou first, you can see the strategic planning of merging the state.

Cao Cao thought about it, and finally decided not to die.

He has always had a very good relationship with Su Yunqing, normally speaking, if Su Yunqing's next target is not him, then as long as he doesn't rush to die, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

After giving up taking advantage of Su Yunqing, Cao Cao simply put all his energy into attacking Xuzhou, and the sooner he conquered Xuzhou, he would have one more day to develop and strengthen himself.

The battle between Su Yunqing and Yuan Shao was generally relatively smooth, of course, the more Su Yunqing fought, the more he felt that Yuan Shao was really enviable.

Unlike Su Yunqing, who is a military general, and Cao Cao, who is a strategist, Yuan Shao can be said to be balanced in civil and military affairs, and there are very good talents.

The generals include Yan Liangwen, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others, and there are a large number of strategists, such as judging and matching Ji Guo Tutian Feng Feng Zhu Xun Chen Xin Commenting Xu You, etc., just a simple arrangement can shoot such a long list of names, which shows how talented Yuan Shao's subordinates are.

However, the talents under Yuan Shao did not improve his combat effectiveness much.

From the perspective of military generals, Yan Liangwen and Chou have a good relationship, and Zhang He and Gaolan have a good relationship, so they are divided into two factions, and the two factions also fight each other from time to time.

Not to mention the strategists, Xun Chen doesn't care which side, but Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are on the one hand, Guo Tu and the trial are on the other, Xu You is on the other, plus Ji Xin Ping and others, Yuan Shao's strategist relationship is so complicated that he can write a long article to discuss it.

It's okay for the generals to have contradictions over there, at most they will scold people and fight, anyway, the general's painting style is just like that, if you don't accept it, the strategists will be different, this group of people often have their own opinions, no matter what others say, refute it first.

It's just that this group of strategists are all smart people, it's really a set of things, and each one is very reasonable to take it out alone, and Yuan Shao himself is not an assertive and decisive person, so Jizhou is particularly strange in terms of painting style, one way to play today and one strategy tomorrow, mainly depending on who said it in front of Yuan Shao today.

War is not a joke, and Yuan Shao's toss immediately reduced Jizhou's combat effectiveness by several levels.

I didn't think there was anything when I fought the Qingzhou Yellow Turban before, but now my opponent is Su Yunqing, and Yuan Shao was immediately frustrated.

Yuan Shao's frustration is nothing, and no one who fights can guarantee that he will never lose, but Yuan Shao has already said that he is a little public temper, and it is definitely not his pot that is unfavorable to the war anyway, so this pot can only be thrown to the strategists who give him advice.

But none of the strategists wanted to be responsible, so they passed the buck to each other, saying that it was someone else's fault, and even because Yuan Shao was clamoring to punish the crime, they all wanted to make the opponent's pot black and big, so it was not just a military issue, if anyone had a black history, they would be torn out immediately.

It's okay now, Yuan Shao's strategists are fighting inwardly, and Yuan Shao is completely finished here.

When Su Yunqing not only occupied Changshan County, but even the Zhongshan Kingdom next to him was defeated, and the other way from Youzhou, Dian Wei Zhang Liao Gaoshun also occupied Bohai County, Yuan Shao's advisers were still there to tear each other apart.

Of course, Yuan Shao was angry, but he didn't have any good countermeasures other than looking for problems with his subordinates and clamoring for punishment.

In the face of this lively tearing scene, Xun Chen, who was sitting below, regarded himself as a transparent person, bowed his head and did not speak, as long as he did not set himself on fire, he would be safe and stable.

In fact, Yuan Shao is still very good to Xun Chen, from Xun Chen to Jizhou, because Xun Chen's family background Yuan Shao is quite optimistic about him, Xun Chen's grandfather is Xun Shu, Xun Shu is very famous in the world, and even known as 'Shenjun', and Xun Shu's eight sons are also extraordinary, known as Xun's Eight Dragons, Xun Chen is Xun Qi's eldest son, Xun Yu's brother, well, dear, the same father.

It can be said that in the eyes of Yuan Shao, who loves high-ranking celebrities, Xun Chen's background is very good, so Yuan Shao also respects Xun Chen very much.

But when Xun Chen wanted to plan for Yuan Shao, he found that Yuan Shao couldn't listen to people at all_(:3ใ‚โˆ )_

Xun Chen's younger brother Xun Yu works under Cao Cao Needless to say, Cao Cao attaches great importance to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's talent can also be well displayed, as for the eldest nephew Xun Yu, not to mention, he is currently the number one military strategist in Bingzhou, look at Su Yunqing, who is becoming more and more powerful, you will know how high Xun Yu's position is.

Only Xun Chen is still one of the many strategists under Yuan Shao...... Unlike Xun Yu, who was also one of the strategists, Xun Chen's talent was not displayed.

But Xun Chen is not worse than Xun Yu or Xun Yu, when the Xun family was speculating, Cao Cao, Su Yunqing, and Yuan Shao each occupied a state, and relatively speaking, Yuan Shao's conditions are the best, he has the family background of the fourth world and the third duke, and the rich and fertile land of Jizhou, no matter how you look at it, it is all advantageous, and the Xun family has high hopes for Yuan Shao, and he can be specially sent to Yuan Shao, the side of the biggest potential stock of the year, Xun Chen can not be bad.

But now?

Xun Chen's talent is not inferior to Xun Yu Xun You, but it is completely useless.

Yuan Shao can't really use him.

At this time, faced with the situation that Yuan Shao's strategists were in a mess, Xun Chen could only be silent, because if he didn't be silent, the fire would burn on his body, and he no longer had much hope for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao just had the posture of a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, but did not use people.

Just like now, in Xun Chen's opinion, Yuan Shao's approach is the most inferior way to punish both the pot and the crime, at this time, we should first unify and stabilize the interior, and go all out to deal with Su Yunqing, what is the use of punishing the crime and curing the crimes of the strategists under him?

Not to mention that because of a failure, he will be punished, who else dares to give Yuan Shao an idea? After all, no one in this world dares to guarantee that they will always be right, and Yuan Shao's move is useless except to chill his subordinates.

It can be said that at this time, Yuan Shao's strategists are all busy tearing up for this reason, even if there are a few who don't give up, it's useless, because the general trend is like this, if you don't tear others, others will tear you.

So Su Yunqing found very miraculously that Yuan Shao is a typical example of the more he fights, the painting style in the early stage is clear and convulsive, and in the later stage, there is no painting style at all, just playing randomly.

In the end, seeing that he couldn't hold on, Su Yunqing had already hit Julu, and Yuan Shao finally made the most cheating decision - he transferred Zhang He, who stayed in Qingzhou to stabilize the situation, back_(:3ใ‚โˆ )_

Qingzhou has just been occupied, and everyone knows what kind of painting style the yellow scarf is, in order to prevent any accidents, Yuan Shao left Zhang He, who has the best comprehensive ability among his generals, in Qingzhou.

But now Yuan Shao feels that he can't hold it, Yan Liangwen is ugly or something, and they are all first-class generals, but the lineup on Su Yunqing's side is even more terrifying!

This time Zhang He came back, Yuan Shao didn't expect him to fight, anyway, no one in the world can compare with the top force, and everyone knows this, and it's not a shame.

Yuan Shao's idea is very good, the concentration of troops must be in Julu to block Su Yunqing, Jizhou can no longer withstand the loss, Zhang He really lived up to expectations, after he came, Su Yunqing did encounter a lot of resistance.

This battle finally played some more interesting scenes.

However, at this time, Lu Bu, who had previously said that he wanted to show his resourcefulness, made a decision.

Hit Qingzhou.

Lu Bu's reason is very sufficient: "Now that Zhang He has been transferred, Qingzhou's troops are empty, Miss Cai has told me a similar story, I think it is time to attack Yuan Shao's weak points." โ€

Zhao Yun, who was with him, thought about it and felt that he could fight, how to say it, although the reason why Lu Bu proposed this idea was a bit speechless, but I have to say that this is also a very good strategy.

Of course, on the basis of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun added something, he was not Lu Bu after all, he said that he would lead the troops to fight immediately, Zhao Yun felt that he could do something else.

Although Zhang He is gone, he also left a lot of troops behind, anyway, Qingzhou was fought down by them with great difficulty, so he can't just throw it away.

Zhao Yun did a very simple thing, let people go to Qingzhou to spread rumors, and at the same time stir up the contradictions between Yuan Shao's army and these surrendered yellow turbans, so that they can fight first.

The Yellow Turban was restless, they said that they surrendered Yuan Shao, but that was just that Yuan Shao was stronger than them, and now Yuan Shao has sent a large number of troops to Jizhou, and his control over Qingzhou is naturally weak, Yellow Turban, give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, as soon as Yuan Shao's strength is weak, they immediately began to jump, coupled with Zhao Yun's rumor offensive, soon the Yellow Turban, which had already surrendered, began to riot.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun sent a letter to Dian Wei and others, who had already occupied Bohai County, to join forces and attack Qingzhou together.

Dian Wei's original task was to attack Hejian after occupying the Bohai Sea, and when the time came, it would just be possible to connect with Zhongshan Kingdom in Changshan County, and at this time, it was natural to report to Su Yunqing first to change the plan, no matter how to say that the war was not a joke, it was not that he could fight wherever he wanted.

But before the messenger on the Bohai side went out, Su Yunqing's messenger arrived first, and the instructions given by Su Yunqing were basically the same as their plan, not to fight Qingzhou between the rivers, of course, Su Yunqing did not ask them to conquer the entire territory of Qingzhou, but to lay down a plain county.

First, because Pingyuan County is close to the Bohai Sea, it will not become an enclave if it is defeated, and after all, the Bohai side has limited troops, and it is still too reluctant to take the entire Qingzhou, and second, in fact, it is enough to take one Pingyuan County, Su Yunqing's move is to put pressure on Yuan Shao and not to take Qingzhou at one time this time.

With the configuration of Lu Budian and Wei Zhao Yun, one Lu and two Zhao and three Dianwei gathered, Pingyuan County was basically completely occupied without any effective resistance.

When Yuan Shao received the news two months later that Su Yunqing had taken over the two counties of Bohai and Pingyuan, he only felt that it was dark in front of him and fainted directly.

Yuan Shao's dizziness was terrible, and after waking up, Yuan Shao did not get better, but was sick.

For Yuan Shao, he took a lot of effort to get Jizhou, and then Qingzhou was not easy to fight, it can be said that this is completely his hard work, now Su Yunqing occupies the Bohai Sea and the plain is to completely cut off the connection between Qingzhou and Jizhou, he spent so much effort to get Qingzhou and lost it before it was covered and changed, how can Yuan Shao accept it.

It should be said that Yuan Shao has always been arrogant, he has a good family background and has been smart since he was a child, and he has always been very extraordinary, it can be said that except for Yuan Shu, most of the people he met were holding him, but now he suddenly suffered the biggest failure in his life.

If it is said that it is just to lose Qingzhou, Jizhou is rich, he will manage it well, sooner or later, there will be a comeback, and it is good to join forces with Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, but now that Su Yunqing occupies Changshan, Zhongshan, and Bohai, even if it is a giant deer, he can't hold it, what else can Yuan Shao hope for?

But Yuan Shao's illness is not without benefits, probably after suffering a huge blow, Yuan Shao's brain finally cleared up a little, he neither shouted about who was going to be punished, nor did he allow the group of strategists under him to quarrel and tear apart anymore.

Yuan Shao probably also knew that it was not bad for his group of strategists to be separated, but if they were put together, they would only pull each other's backs, so he simply separated these people.

Although Jizhou has been occupied a lot of places, there are also a lot of left, Qinghe, Anping, Hejian, Zhaoguo, Weijun, Julu...... Yuan Shao thought about throwing a few people to each place, and simply separated this group of unconscious people, and in the end, only Xun Chen was left alone.

Yuan Shao's strategists don't have any opinion on Xun Chen, anyway, Xun Chen has always looked like he is indisputable, not to mention that at this point, everyone knows that they can't mess up the relationship with Xun Chen, Xun Chen's younger brother Xun Yu is reused by Cao Cao, Xun Chen's eldest nephew is currently the No. 1 military staff member under Su Yunqing, does this need to be said?

A fool can't get along with Xun Chen!

After Yuan Shao divided his subordinates, Su Yunqing's life was really not good, and he had to admit that Yuan Shao's subordinates were indeed full of talents, and it was very terrible for these people to exert their combat effectiveness once they didn't have pig teammates who pulled their hind legs.

Su Yunqing was blocked in Julu.

But Yuan Shao was not much happy about this, and he left Xun Chen behind this is also the meaning.

Yuan Shao was lying on the bed, his face was gray, he looked like a seriously ill person, and he said to Xun Chen: "Youruo, I know that I was sorry for you before, your talent is not under Xun Yu Xun, but I have not been able to let you play your talents, this is my fault." โ€

Xun Chen did not accept this: "Please don't say this, since I came to Jizhou, the lord has treated me with courtesy, and it is my fault that I failed to do my duty for the lord, not the lord's fault." โ€

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "At this point, Mr. doesn't have to say this to me, Shao has been confused all his life, and he is only a little sober now, what is the fourth world and the third prince?" The reputation and family background are all false, and Su Yunqing is just a woman, but she can force me to this point. โ€

The fourth generation and the third prince of his family, Su Yunqing is just an ordinary rich man's family, and there is nothing brilliant about it, and later he is no different from ordinary people, how high-spirited he was in Luoyang back then, he didn't take Su Yunqing as a border person in his eyes at all, how could he have thought that Su Yunqing would make him fall into such a field now?

Yuan Shao sighed: "That's it, I didn't mean this when I invited Mr. to come." โ€

He looked at Xun Chen with burning eyes: "Now I am not much worse from the end of the mountain and water, but I am not reconciled, and I ask Mr. to help me." โ€

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao paused and continued: "Of course, if Mr. doesn't want to help me, it's nothing, this qiฤ“ is all my own fault, where can't the great gentleman in the world go?" โ€

Having said that, Yuan Shao stared at Xun Chen deadly.

Being looked at by Yuan Shao with such expectant eyes, and thinking about how Yuan Shao had indeed been treating him very well, Xun Chen finally began to speak: "Please don't be discouraged, this is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted." โ€

At this time, Yuan Shao's situation was indeed not good, but he could still be saved.

But does he want to help Yuan Shao?

For Xun Chen, even if Yuan Shao loses, it's nothing, with Xun You, he can go to Su Yunqing, and judging from Su Yunqing's consistent style before, he will definitely be able to show his skills when he goes to Su Yunqing, and if he doesn't work next door to Jizhou is Yanzhou, he will definitely be reused when he goes to Cao Cao.

But in the end, Xun Chen still couldn't bear to abandon Yuan Shao after all.

Then ...... Help.
