This letter is nothing else, it is Yuan Yaojun's announcement of the occupation of Xuzhou, and what is written on it is to send troops to Xuzhou and declare war against Cao Cao.

As soon as they heard that Yuan Yao's Huainan army had also declared war on Cao Cao's Yanzhou, all the Cao Cao's civil and military forces below were in an uproar.

The praise for Cao Cao just now also closed their mouths one by one.

Originally, Cao Cao had a hard time dealing with Yuan Shao's Hebei army alone, but Yuan Yao's Huainan army began to stab him in the back again, which made the shadow more and more over the hearts of the Yanzhou army.

"What a good thing this is!" Someone panicked. Once the Huainan Army and the Hebei Army attack left and right, they Yanzhou will not be an opponent at all.

Some people began to regret the consequences of the original march into Huainan.

"Lord, or our army will return the 200,000 grains and grass!" Someone proposed, they thought that this was Yuan Yao of Huainan who couldn't bear to be tricked by Cao Cao for 200,000 grains and grass, so he joined forces with Yuan Shao of Hebei to take revenge on Yanzhou.

"200,000 grains and grass returned? It's easy to say, if you don't have these grains and grass, what do you let those soldiers who defend the city eat? You go and ask them if they say yes. Xiahou Chun on the side said with a sneer.

Without that batch of grain and grass, those Yanzhou soldiers will drink the northwest wind, who will be this wicked person?

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can this be good!"

"Panic!" However, Cao Cao was very calm, and he shouted at those panicked Yanzhou civil and military officers with his cold gaze.

"If this Yuan Yao Xiaoer is really an enemy of my Yanzhou and an alliance with Yuan Shao of Hebei, why doesn't he take Yanzhou directly, but instead go to Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically, saying that the people below were a lot quieter.

Yes, if this Yuan Yao child is really allied with Yuan Shao in Hebei, he should immediately send troops to Yanzhou, why go to Xuzhou?

The current Yanzhou rear defense line is completely undefended against Huainan, just like the Huainan Army's march into Yingchuan generation, the Yanzhou Army is difficult to reflect at all, and now the Yanzhou Army is completely focused on the Guandu generation, and it can't withstand the assault behind Yuan Yaojun's back.

"Lord, do you mean that this Yuan Yao'er didn't really declare war with our Yanzhou?" Xun Yu on the side asked Cao Cao.

"Huh!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Declare war with our Yanzhou?" What's in it for him Yuan Yao? "Not to mention declaring war, even if Yuan Yao pulls the army down outside the city of Xudu now, Cao Cao thinks this is Yuan Yao's bluff, because now he and Yuan Shao are just confronting each other, and it has not yet reached the point of life and death? Both sides still have chips, and Yuan Yao is too late to watch the show, how can he join.

"This Yuan Yao child is really calculating, 200,000 to get the huge Xuzhou!" His original plan was to drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger, exchange Xuzhou for grain and grass, and then use the soldiers and horses of the Huainan army to help him deal with Yuan Shao's Hebei army.

But I didn't expect this Yuan Yao to come to such a play, he actually formed an alliance with Yuan Shao of Hebei and declared war on his Cao Cao's Yanzhou? Although there is no harm to him Cao Cao in essence, one thing is certain, that is, Yuan Shao, the little man in his youth, will inevitably hate and be happy.

"My lord? Couldn't this Yuan Shao see that this was Yuan Yao's hypocrisy at all? Won't you be dissatisfied with Yuan Yao? Xun Yu wondered? Although Yuan Yao declared war on Cao Cao, there was no substantial change, Cao Cao would not mobilize any troops and horses to relieve the pressure on Yuan Shao's army in Hebei because of Yuan Yao's declaration of war, on the contrary, he also got 200,000 stone of grain and grass from Yuan Yao, and this batch of grain and grass would increase the difficulty of the Hebei army against the Yanzhou army.

"Maybe someone else will, but my small hair is not necessarily!" Cao Cao shook his head, he knows Yuan Shao better than anyone else, as the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not yourself but your enemy, not to mention that Yuan Shao's enemy was still his little brother next to Yuan Shao before?

Yuan Yao declared war on Yanzhou and respected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, in Yuan Shao's opinion, it was he Yuan Shao who had face, plus Yuan Yao was not without action, didn't he attack Xuzhou? That's a feat.

"Lord, Yuan Shao is so happy that he will let Yuan Yao Xiao'er go, but the commander of the other departments in Hebei on the Qingxu side is Yuan Shang!" Guo Jia spoke on the side.

"Yuan Shang?" Cao Cao frowned thoughtfully.

"Yuan Shang has the assistance of two people by his side, and he will go to war with Yuan Yao'er?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia suspiciously? Feng Ji judged these two people can also be regarded as quasi-first-class strategists, they divided their troops this time, and opened Qingxu's battle line on the surface, but in fact, it was just an opportunity for Yuan Shang's subordinates to help Yuan Shang regain military power, and they also got this military power, and they may not really start a war with Yuan Yaoxiaoer, after all, Yuan Yaoxiaoer's strength is not fake.

"Lord, you may have forgotten a piece of information!" Guo Jia said with a smile, a piece of information obtained from the battle report in Hebei some time ago was Yuan Yao's letter accusing Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao asked Yuan Yao to send troops to attack Cao Cao, and the agreed was 8,000 war horses, but in the end, it was the 800 mules and horses above that came to Yuan Yao's hands.

"Eight thousand to eight hundred?" Even Cao Cao laughed when he heard it: "Could this be a number that Yuan Yao'er misunderstood?" ”

"After all, this is something that is swallowed in the stomach, how can Yuan Yao'er suffer!"

"And according to our spies, this Yuan Shao has indeed transferred 8,000 war horses out." Guo Jia said, Cao Cao also nodded in affirmation, Yuan Shao has a good face, since he can get the number on the table, it must be ** not far from ten.

"Where are the horses in between?"

"In this matter, the person who took the war horse to Yuan Yao was Yuan Shang's subordinate!"

"Huh!" Cao Cao really laughed this time, if the war horse allocated by Yuan Shao is not eight thousand, and the number received by Yuan Yao is also eight hundred, then there is a problem with the middleman, and this middleman is still Yuan Shang's person, which is very greasy.

Before, Yuan Shao was too lazy to investigate, but now that Yuan Yao and Yuan Shao have formed an alliance, it will be different, at least respect the allies.

"So the last thing I want to do is Yuan Shang!" Not to mention this war horse, but in all other aspects, this Yuan Shang and Yuan Yao also don't like each other. In other words, I've been unhappy with you for a long time.

"If it is the lord, it would be better if you asked our General Yuan Yao to be named a Xuzhou Mu!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"How can one Xuzhou Mu be enough!" Cao Cao also laughed in the yin line, if he wants to pit Yuan Yao, he will naturally pit to the ground, how can a Xuzhou Mu be enough, "I want to be like Your Majesty, for this Han loyal minister, General Yuan Yao, please be named a general, and lead the three continents of Qingxu and Yang!" ”

"General?" The people under his hands all exclaimed, this official position is really high,

"It's just a false name, as long as we break through Hebei, this general is worthless!"
