Chapter 535: Return to Huainan
Yuan Yao didn't expect his cheap uncle to agree so readily.
"Is there any fraud in this?" Yuan Yao asked the strategists beside him very hesitantly.
Even Xu Shu was confused, he originally planned to quarrel with Yuan Shao for a while, borrowing 100,000 soldiers Yuan Yao didn't want to borrow 100,000 soldiers at all, if he could borrow 40,000 or 50,000, it would be enough, but he didn't expect to borrow 100,000 soldiers and horses so easily.
"Don't worry, lord!" It was Tian Feng on the side who spoke.
"Please also relax!" Frustration also spoke.
Yuan Yao looked confused.
"Lord, who is the most resentful person in Hebei Yuan Shao now?" Tian Feng asked rhetorically.
"Then you don't need to ask, of course it's Brother Yao'er, if I have such a nephew, I must beat his out!" Before Yuan Yao could speak, General Huang Yi on the side grinned and spoke.
"Get out!" Yuan Yao didn't even want to kick it.
Huang Yi's words are not rough, if he Yuan Yao is really cheated like this by his eldest nephew, Yuan Yao himself will not be able to bear it.
"Lord, although Yuan Shao resents you, but compared to Cao Cao, his hatred for the lord is still not worth mentioning!" Tian Feng continued, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have known each other for not a day or two, Cao Cao has been Yuan Shao's little follower since he was a child, and later the two grew up one after another, and they also became officials with filial piety and honesty.
Similarly, Cao Cao's official position has always been under Yuan Shao.
Later, Dong Zhuo of the Eighteenth Route Princes, he Yuan Shao was the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance, and Cao Cao was just one of the starters.
Later, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao formed an alliance against Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu in Huainan, Yuan Shao was still the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao also had to listen to Yuan Shao.
But now, Cao Cao, the little brother, betrayed the eldest brother Yuan Shao, not only betrayed the eldest brother Yuan Shao, but also beat the face of the eldest brother Yuan Shao to the ground, it was not enough to beat once, and he beat him twice in a row, the left side of his mouth just turned red, and the right side started again, do you say Yuan Shao can still bear it.
"The lord borrowed troops from Yuan Shao like this, although it was to lift the siege of Huainan, but he was also taking revenge on Cao Cao!" Yuan Shao can not only get Qingzhou for nothing, but also Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses can return to Huainan to surprise that Cao Cao, why not do it.
It is Yuan Yao who contributes, because of the land of Huainan, Yuan Yao is bound to have a decisive battle with Sun Quan and Cao Cao, he Yuan Shao will see when the time comes, if Huainan is defeated, then he will not let go of the opportunity to bite Yuan Yao Huainan, Qingzhou is Xuzhou on the edge.
If Cao Cao is defeated, Yuan Shao will also beat the water dogs and march into Yanzhou from the Guandu generation.
"I'm a good uncle, and I have a good plan!" There was a tone of resentment in Yuan Yao's words, if it weren't for the damn Cao Heizi who had nothing to do and joined forces with Sun Biyan to deal with him Huainan, would he Yuan Yao let out the Qingzhou in his hands?
Now it's okay, he Yuan Yao finally swallowed Qingzhou to spit out, not only that, if Cao Cao and Sun Quan are ruthless, Huainan may also be burned, and he Yuan Yao will have to return to the pre-liberation period overnight.
"I'm really unwilling!" Yuan Yao didn't want to leave, so he sent troops in Qingzhou to fight an offensive and defensive battle with Cao Cao in Xuzhou.
"Lord, for our army, Huainan is the foundation, Qingzhou and Xuzhou will be lost if they are lost, as long as Huainan is still in our army, there will be a comeback!" Xu Shu comforted Yuan Yao on the side.
"Yes, my lord, in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was defeated and retreated, and lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and now Yuan Shao of Hebei is no longer the original overlord, Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou with victory, but he didn't get much benefit, except for some soldiers and horses, he didn't get anything! On the contrary, Yanzhou will be exhausted for many years after this war! Tian Feng said to Yuan Yao.
Why did Cao Cao provoke another war not long after the Battle of Guandu, didn't he Cao Cao know that reckless military force was the way to take trouble? He Cao Cao knew, and the reason why it was like this was because he Cao Cao couldn't stop, and he didn't dare to listen, now Yanzhou is full of contradictions, and the needs of the people are difficult to meet.
If he Cao Cao stops, then these contradictions will immediately erupt, and now with an external enemy like Yuan Yao, the contradictions in Yanzhou will be replaced from the internal to the external, which can stabilize the rule of Yanzhou.
Just like the later Northern Expedition of Shu, once there is an excess of domestic contradictions, then the Northern Expedition, once the peasant name revolts, then the Northern Expedition, once the people are not well fed and clothed, then the Northern Expedition.
Cao Cao either fights to raise the war, and wins the battles one after another, in order to solve the contradictions in Yanzhou, once Cao Cao's army is defeated, it will be really hehe, Cao Cao has only one way to defeat in addition to internal and external troubles.
"Lord, with those tens of thousands of war horses and gold, it is enough to make up for the loss of this Qingzhou Xuzhou!" In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao didn't get anything, only some captured soldiers and horses from Hebei under his hands.
And what about Yuan Yao? From Cao Cao, he got Xuzhou, and from Yuan Shao, he got Qingzhou, tens of thousands of war horses, hundreds of thousands of gold.
weakened the strength of Yuan Shao in Hebei, so that Yuan Shao no longer had a tendency to crush, but he did not waste a single soldier, but it was Cao Cao who contributed.
"Even if Cao Cao doesn't come to us, we should choose to go to war with Cao Cao!"
In the past, Yuan Shao's family was dominant, and Yuan Yao had to join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao's strength has been weakened and is equal to Cao Cao, Yuan Yao and others, Yuan Yao wants to complete his great cause, so he still has to find one of them to do it.
Hebei Yuan Shao has two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, which has already made Yuan Yao not worry, and the only one left is Cao Cao.
Yuan Yao attacked Cao Cao, at most Yuan Shao was a watch, Yuan Shao must not ally with Cao Cao, and after weakening Yuan Shao, it should be Cao Cao.
"Let's go, let's go!" Yuan Yao shook his head and walked into the camp, he was really afraid that he would be reluctant to Qingzhou if he saw too much.
This is his Yuan Yao's territory, and now he is really plucking the hair from the head of the iron rooster.
"Report!" As soon as Yuan Yao entered the camp, news came from there that the army lent to Yuan Yao by Yuan Shao had arrived in northern Hebei.
When Yuan Yao heard the news, he naturally went to greet him.
Yuan Yao was slightly stunned when he saw the visitor, it was not Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, but it was still Yuan Yao's old acquaintance, Yuan Shang, the third son.
Yuan Yao and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and they could see from each other's eyes that the status of this eldest prince in Hebei was really worse than one day.
You must know that it was Guo Tu who was negotiating with Yuan Yao before, and Guo Tu naturally had a way to let Yuan Tan be the first to learn the news, and he could also make more preparations to seize the official position stationed in Qingzhou, which was Yuan Tan's territory before.
But he didn't expect that this time Yuan Shao sent the third son, Yuan Shang.
The time and place are favorable, and Yuan Tan occupies it, but he still can't compete with Yuan Shang, so it is conceivable that Yuan Tan's status in Hebei is unknown.
Among them, Yuan Shang was able to be elected as the commander of Qingzhou this time because of his second brother Yuan Xi.
In Yuan Xi's opinion, Yuan Shang won Yuan Yao on the battlefield, this Yuan Yao is bound to be angry when he sees Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang is not a good talker, giving Yuan Shang the opportunity is not hot and hot, if Yuan Yao can start a war with Yuan Shang in a fit of anger, it would be good.
Two votes to one, naturally Yuan Shang came.
What Yuan Xi didn't know was that Yuan Shang and Yuan Yao not only did not have that kind of annoyance, but on the contrary, the relationship between the two was still very good after the last experience.
"Brother Yuan Yaoxian!" Yuan Shang didn't have the same arrows and crossbows as last time when he met Yuan Yao this time, and last time Yuan Shang looked down on Yuan Yao and wanted to beat Yuan Yao to repay the suffering of being bullied by Yuan Yao back then.
But later, Yuan Yao cleaned up a lot more honestly, coupled with those insidious PY transactions with Yuan Yao, the two really smelled like each other.
This time, Yuan Yao borrowed troops to let Qingzhou out, which can be regarded as giving Yuan Shang a chance to garrison Qingzhou, didn't Yuan Shang smile when he saw Yuan Yao.
"Brother Yuan Shang!" Yuan Yao also stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention this kind of smelly person.
The two talked about the old days, and Yuan Shang went directly to the topic.
"My father, the general, sent me to hand over the city defense of Qingzhou to you, brother Xian!"
"I have already ordered all the civil and military forces in Qingzhou, as long as Brother Yuan Shang hands over those sea ships to me, Brother Yuan Shang can take a boat to Qingzhou immediately!" Yuan Yao said to Yuan Shang.
"That's fine!" Yuan Shang waved his hand, these sea ships are not of much use to Yuan Shang anyway, and now Yuan Shang cares about the inheritance of Hebei, not these sea ships.
Yuan Yao looked at Yuan Shang so generous, and his heart was also happy, what did Yuan Shang want? It's just a quick takeover of Qingzhou, and these Yuan Yao can satisfy him.
Yuan Yao saw that the sea ships brought by Yuan Shang could not only load all of Yuan Yao's army into it, but also dozens more.
"Brother Yuan Shang, it will take you to bring these sea ships back, so it's better to forget it for me!" Yuan Yao asked Yuan Shang with a smile.
"No," Yuan Shang was just about to be generous again, but was interrupted by the strategists on the side.
"Who is this?" Yuan Yao looked at the strategist beside Yuan Shang and asked.
"This person is my Hebei talent! Judging the South! Yuan Shang said to Yuan Yao.
"It turned out to be Mr. Judge, long admiration and long admiration!" Yuan Yao smiled and said to the trial, but he was very unhappy with this trial in his heart, seeing that these sea ships were about to be given to him, he was interrupted by the trial.
"General Yuan Yao is too praised!" The judge lowered his head and said modestly, and then said to Yuan Shang on the side, "Young General, those sea ships are borrowed from the family in Hebei, if you don't go back, you will have to compensate for the gold!" ”
This is clearly "What merchant would dare to build such a sea ship in the shape of a warship, is this an attempt to rebel?" But then Yuan Shang saw the eyes of the trial and understood, and waved at Yuan Yaozhi with a regretful expression.
"Want gold?" Yuan Yao finally understood.
