As soon as Yuan Yao took Guangling County, he immediately sent a letter to Yuan Shao in Hebei, asking for a deposit for his war horses.

Yuan Shao agreed happily, but it was difficult to implement.

Because according to the contract, there are tens of thousands of war horses before and after.

At first, Yuan Shao just said that he wanted to forcibly drag Yuan Yao into the water, but now that he saw that Yuan Yao's eldest nephew had really taken Cao Cao's territory, he was going to pay a deposit, and he began to feel pain.

"Yao'er is really the tiger of my Yuan family, play well, fight well!" The heart hurts, but in fact, Yuan Shao is still very happy, after all, this can be regarded as dragging Yuan Yao into the water, and there is at least it can be used to stabilize the army's heart, nothing makes Cao Cao deflated and makes Yuan Shao happy, and even Yuan Yao's thief with the habit of talking has become Yao'er.

"I am from north to south, Yao'er is from south to north, as long as our uncle and nephew work together, he Cao Cao traitor will surely perish!" Yuan Shao is obviously in a good mood.

"Father, then Yuan Yao traitor has such a ability?" Listening to Yuan Shao praising Yuan Yao's third son, Yuan Shang's third son was not a taste in his heart, and immediately said sourly.

Yuan Shao hasn't spoken yet, but Yuan Tan over there has spoken first, you must know that Yuan Tan didn't want to start a war with Cao Cao at the beginning, because the conditions given by Cao Cao were the most favorable to him Yuan Tan, but he was destroyed by Yuan Shang step by step, Yuan Tan's subordinates were not jealous, why did You Heng, who had not followed Kong Rong Yang Xiu, appear in the envoy group, Yuan Tan investigated and came to the result, that is, this good third brother of his.

Do you say that he Yuan Tan can not be angry.

"Third brother, this is your fault!" Yuan Tan looked like I am a brother, and I want to reason with you, "Although you and Brother Yao have contradictions, how can you say that you and he are also brothers, not to mention that we are now allies, and we can't write two Yuan characters in one stroke, if the alliance between the two armies breaks down because of you, this is not good!" ”

"You!" Yuan Tan looked like he was thinking about Yuan Shang, but Yuan Shang was confused, and he was about to refute immediately,

"Haven't you seen the true face of Yuan Yao's traitor? If he really had the heart to help us, why didn't he hold back Cao Cao's army in the first place? ”

But Daddy Yuan Shao didn't give him a chance.

It's okay if Yuan Tan doesn't mention it, but when he mentions Yuan Shao, he will be angry, "Enough, if you have half of Yuan Yao's ability, I won't need Yuan Yao's help!" "If Yuan Shang had been fighting steadily in the front, then Yuan Shao's army would have already crossed the Yellow River by now, and he would not have to ally with Yuan Yao.

Listening to Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Shang could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Lord, this is for Huainan's war horse?" Xun Cen on the side spoke, after all, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are now in Huainan, and Xun Cen still gives face to the Huainan army, so this reminded Yuan Shao.

"War horses?" Yuan Shao's generosity is all fake generosity.

No matter who it is, the deposit of more than 10,000 war horses, and the mantissa of tens of thousands of war horses, it is very distressing.

If Lao Cao is then simply not to give it, anyway, he Cao Cao is thick-skinned, and he has achieved his goal of dragging you Yuan Yao into the water.

And Yuan Shao was thin and didn't want to give it, so he had to use the Dafa of delay, "Send someone to tell Yao'er, just say that I am busy with the allocation of soldiers, horses, food and grass in my army now, and the matter of this war horse is really inseparable, and his war horse is not a small number that will not be taken out for a while and a half, but it must be given to him, as long as he Yao'er continues to attack Cao Thief, once Cao Cao's traitor is broken, you and I will converge with the two armies, and we will inevitably give all the war horses!" ”

Yuan Shao is repaying the account with an idea.

Xun Cen smiled bitterly, it's not that he Xun Cen doesn't give face, it's just that the lord is reluctant to say it publicly.

Just now, in the name of Yuan Yao, this helped him Yuan Tan to take a good breath, Yuan Tan also knew that he would repay the favor, so he began to help Yuan Yao speak, "Father, this Yuan Yao has just taken Guangling County, if we break the contract like this, will Yuan Yao stop marching, in that case, our previous efforts will be in vain!" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shao frowned, he also knew Cao Cao, if it was other princes, for example, he Yuan Shao himself was now standing in Cao Cao's position, once Yuan Yao attacked him, it would be an endless end, because he Yuan Shao had a good face, and Cao Cao was different, Cao Cao was thick-skinned and didn't care, and even for some interests, he could still smile and stretch his face over to Yuan Yao.

If Yuan Yao really stopped marching, it is impossible to say that Cao Cao really agreed to negotiate peace.

"Then give him some war horses first, and give him eight thousand! The rest will be said to be difficult to transfer, and they will be given all in the future! After thinking about it, Yuan Shaosi still felt that he would give a little, otherwise he would be reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.

These 8,000 war horses are also not a small number, so Yuan Yao will certainly be dissatisfied with not giving them all, but he will not turn his face because of this, after all, if he doesn't turn his face, there is still hope to get, and if he turns his face, there will be nothing.

If Yuan Shao really gave 8,000 horses, Yuan Yao really wouldn't have said anything, but who knew that the transfer of this war horse would have to pass through Yuan Shang's defense area, so it would be a tragedy all of a sudden.

Originally, Yuan Shang lost the battle, and there was no place to spread the fire in his stomach, and he caught up with being reprimanded in front of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Tan's fire added fuel to it, and the anger in his heart became more and more vigorous.

The hatred for Yuan Yao is also deeper, this war horse has reached his Yuan Shang's defense area, if he doesn't intervene, how can he be happy?

Therefore, the 8,000 war horses were reduced by 90 percent at once, from 8,000 to 800.

"Good, good, good!" Even Yuan Yao, who was far away in Huainan, laughed angrily, "It's really good!" Yuan Yao couldn't help but hold the letter from Yuan Shao in his hand, "He, Yuan Shao, is really a cow for me, Huainan Army!" ”

Huang Yi on the side asked what a cow was.

"It's grass, and it's milk!" Yuan Yao said viciously.

He clearly misunderstood Yuan Shao, what was written in Yuan Shao's letter was that the war horse was incomplete, but in fact, he gave eight thousand, which was half of it, and gave Yuan Yao an explanation, but who knew that the people below had changed from eight thousand to eight hundred.

In this way, Yuan Shao's letter was forcibly memorized, making Yuan Yao think that this was what Yuan Shao meant.

"Eight hundred war horses!" It's not that Yuan Yao hasn't seen those war horses, that thing is called a war horse? It's really hard for Yuan Shaojun to get these eight hundred horses together.

If you give some horses, Yuan Yao won't say anything, because those horses all belong to the pony breed, which is later called Mongolian horses, these war horses are short, thick-haired, and slow running, not as good as those tall horses, and their explosive power can't keep up, so they are spurned by some cavalry.

But Yuan Yao is not disgusted, because this Mongolian horse is short, it is because it is ugly, so it is easier to feed, and it is more adaptable to the environment, after all, Huainan does not have to be in the north, the northern grasslands are dense, and the grass is delicious, but the south is ravines and ravines, and the war horse is not easy to feed, and the cost is too great, if this Yuan Shao sends a big bowl of good horses, he Yuan Yao can't afford to raise it, and the high-quality forage is a big expense.

But now this Yuan Shaojun gave this is called a war horse? Is this bullying to make Yuan Yao not know how to do it, or bullying him Yuan Yao is blind.

This Tamad is a mule, a mule!

What is a mule, that is, the offspring of the mating of a war horse and a donkey, which looks like a horse but is a real domestic animal.

What else can you do besides carrying goods?

Could it be that he asked Yuan Yao to form a mule brigade that has never been seen in the past?

"Lord, these war horses are retreating??" Xu Shu and others are also back.

"Go back? Why go back? "No matter how small this mule is, it's meat, how could he Yuan Yao spit out the meat that came to his mouth" wrote to me and told me about my good uncle, saying that Cao Thief is powerful, and our army is unable to break through the defense line, so it is difficult to join forces with him! ”

Yuan Yao is directly planning to strike to protest.

"My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to threaten Yuan Shaojun even if it stops marching!" Xu Shu was really dutiful, and he had just come back from the front line and gave Yuan Yao advice.

They originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight after taking Guangling, and even if Yuan Shao gave them benefits, they wouldn't do it.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Yao looked at Xu Shu, an honest man, and asked.

"Lord, now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shaotun are on both sides of the Yellow River, war may break out at any time, but in fact, Cao Cao is weak!" Although Cao Cao fought a beautiful battle in the first battle of Guandu, he did not hurt Yuan Shao's bones.

This comparison is known, Cao Cao only has Yanzhou Xuzhou and Zhili generation, Zhili was originally a mess, Dong Zhuo was on fire, Lu Bu Wang Yun fought with Li Yu and Guo Yan again, and Li Yu Guo Yan himself fought again.

This Zhili is also the Luoyang generation of Chang'an, which has long become a barren land.

It's good not to ask you Cao Cao for supplies there, how can there be a surplus?

Xuzhou was originally a wealthy place, Xuzhou is familiar with the world, but it can't stand this perennial fight, which is not easy to settle down, and it is only a quarter of the original production capacity of Xuzhou.

In other words, Cao Cao only had one Yanzhou, and he was 100% able to support him in the war.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao has the four continents of green and secluded.

Even if Qingzhou is occupied, there are still three continents, and the state is not rich but it is rich in elite soldiers, Youzhou has only developed, but it has also been operated by Yuan Shao for a long time, and Jizhou is Yuan Shao's base camp, which itself is a land of grain production.

In this way, it is equivalent to Cao Cao using a combat power of one and a half (one Yanzhou, half of Xuzhou) in the battle of Yuan Shao's three (and, you, Ji).

and Lao Cao fought with Yuan Yao before, and there were tens of thousands of losses before and after, and those were all elites.
