Chapter 621: Zhuge Liang's poisonous plan
In the territory of Yanzhou, a soldier and horse is heading towards Xudu City, and the owner of this army is none other than our Cao and Cao Mengde. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Drive, drive!" A war horse galloped from the direction of Xudu City, ran in front of this army of soldiers and horses, and immediately got off the war horse and ran into the Chinese army, "Lord Qiqi, there are still less than twenty miles away from Xu Ducheng." ”
"Twenty miles!" In fact, there is no need for this scout to say, Cao Cao also knows that this place is only ten or twenty miles away from Xu Du, after all, Xu Du is his Cao Cao's old nest back then, and it would be funny if he Cao Cao didn't know his home again.
"What is there any movement in Xu Ducheng, can there be intercepted soldiers and horses on the road?" A scribe next to Cao Cao inquired about the scout.
"Back to the military division, the direction of Xu Ducheng has not found the slightest movement to intercept the soldiers and horses!" The scout replied.
"Twenty miles, without any soldiers and horses?" Hearing such a word, the civil and military generals in Cao Cao's army are all going to laugh, generally speaking, the scouts of a city should be spread at least fifty miles away, and if there is an enemy attack fifty miles away, you should consider whether to close the city gate and defend it or open the city gate to live outside the city gate.
But there has been no movement for twenty miles to the capital, which means that this Xu Capital City is not guarding its rear at all.
"Where are the gates? But to guard against it? Cao Cao asked, if Xu Ducheng directly closed the city gate, it would be disgusting Cao Cao, and he would need to deceive the city gate.
"The gates of the city are wide open, and there are countless cars and horses coming and going!"
"The gates are open?" As soon as Guo Jia thought about it, he knew what the reason was: "Yuan Tan wants to take away Xu Du's baggage!" ”
"It's good that we moved fast! It seems that after Yuan Tan Chen Liucheng was broken, he really didn't have the idea of competing with Yuan Yao'er! "Cao Cao's feelings are really complicated, first, they caught up in time to be able to block Yuan Tan's transportation of grain and grass back to Hebei, so that these grain and grass baggage are not all their Cao Cao's army? There is another one, that is, Yuan Yao'er's strength is getting stronger and stronger, there was originally a Yuan Tan in front of him, but now, even Yuan Tan doesn't dare to resist with Yuan Yao'er, and Yuan Yao'er who gets Yanzhou is really the overlord of the Central Plains.
"The lord has obtained this material, and our army should be able to get out of the customs!" Guo Jia also saw Cao Cao's loneliness, he Cao Cao was not young, in the era of the ancients, who called the old man at the age of thirty, Cao Cao was almost half a foot into the coffin.
"Outside the gates?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, yes, he, Cao Cao is not unable to make a comeback, in addition to customs clearance, there is also the land of Xiliang, as well as Hanzhong, and even the Bashu generation, these are all opportunities for him Cao Cao to make a comeback.
As for Ma Teng, Cao Cao didn't look down on Ma Teng, Ma Teng was good at marching and fighting, but when he was a prince, Ma Teng was not an opponent at all.
If there is a harvest outside the border, it is not a problem for Cao Cao to return to the Central Plains.
"yes, I'm out of the question!" Cao Cao had the spirit to wave his hand to the people under his hand, "Let the tiger and leopard ride set off immediately, capture the gate of Xudu, and my army will arrive later!" ”
Cao Cao's army was as large as more than 50,000 people, of course, not all of them were the main force, and the purpose of so many people was to transport Xudu's materials.
Countless carriages and horses followed, and Cao Cao swore not to give up this time if he emptied Xu Du.
The gates outside the city of Xudu were wide open, and countless carriages and horses were transported out of the city.
A team of Yuan Tan's Hebei soldiers maintained a certain order, and in this order, there were still people who would rest and relax.
"I said brother, we really can't hold it?" A soldier of the Hebei Army chatted with the robe on the side.
The Hebei sergeant who was talking to him first looked around, and saw that there was no six-eared person, so he opened his mouth and fetched it: "Then there is still a fake!" "The important information of the battle ahead, they don't know it, but some of the general situation is still understood, the Huainan Army Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses have already taken down Chen Liu, and they are about to come from the good Xudu.
"If you take Chen Liu, you will take Chen Liubei, we are Xu Du here, and there is a difference of hundreds of miles from Chen Liu!" Some people don't approve of it, where is this Chen Liucheng strong capital.
"You don't understand this, do you? Even Chen Liu can't hold it, but he can still hold it! What's more, we are not from Yanzhou, this Hebei heard that the lord and the third prince have become a pot of porridge! "They don't know what strategic points are, they only know that the war in Hebei may have affected the decision-making of the lord Yuan Tan.
"Where are you going now?" As soon as I heard about Hebei, several soldiers of the Hebei Army couldn't help it, no wonder, they are all from Hebei, where is his hometown, this Yanzhou is so life-and-death, and finally he gave a small life to confess, but if Hebei is ruthless, it may even bring their families.
"I don't know about that! But I guess I should be going to take Jizhou, the third prince flattered the old lord before, but if he fights, he is not the opponent of our prime minister. "Yuan Tan's merits are also able to fight the civil war.
"That's it!" As soon as they heard that the battle situation in Hebei was a good thing for their Yuan Tan army, they all smiled happily.
"Hey, you say that we can defeat Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, but we can't beat this Yuan Yao'er." Some soldiers couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, everyone was a little silent, beating Gongsun Chan Yuan Shao wiped out Gongsun Chan and beat Cao Cao, although Yuan Shao lost a few times, but in the end Cao Cao was not happy, didn't he just be driven to Zhili as a watchdog? But to deal with this, Yuan Yao is fighting less and less territory.
"It's no wonder that the brothers want to go home, who wants to fight!" Someone said the truth, the Hebei Army is now in a civil war in Hebei, and everyone is worried about the safety of their families, how can they be willing to fight Yuan Yao in Yanzhou? In this era, there is no such thing as a pension for the dead in battle, and even most of the wounded soldiers are left to fend for themselves, so there will be good men who are not soldiers, who will put their heads on their waists to do this terrible business.
If Hebei is pacified, maybe they will still be in the mood to fight with Yuan Yao, which is called making meritorious contributions, but now the family doesn't know what to do, and they will work hard to have ghosts.
"Why don't you say these three sons don't listen to persuasion, aren't they all the Yuan family?" Ordinary soldiers don't understand, in their opinion, aren't this Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan a family? This big brother is living well, can you still help your third brother? They don't understand that power makes people lustful.
"I heard that Yuan Yao of the Huainan Army seems to be persuading the prime minister and the third prince, but he was rejected by the prime minister and the third prince."
"Hey, you said that it would be great if the old lord was still there, this prime minister and the third prince would not be like this, plus Yuan Yao of the Huainan Army, the whole world belongs to our Hebei Army, how good it would be for the old lord to be the emperor Lao Tzu, the third son of the prime minister and the third son of the prime minister and that Yuan Yao would be the prince." Some of the soldiers were unfolding their imaginations.
Seeing that this was getting more and more outrageous, news suddenly came from there that a cavalry was coming towards Xudu City.
Xu Du's Taishou is Guo Ze, this person is the Guo family, and Guo Tu is considered to have a brotherly relationship, Guo Ze was vigilant at first, "Cavalry, where did the cavalry come from?" "How can I say that he is also the responsible person of Xu Du, and he has the responsibility of guarding Xu Du, so he naturally has to find out the enemy situation.
"The banner seems to be Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horse!" The people under his command reported to Guo Ze.
"It turned out to be Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, so he took care of him and continued to carry the materials, and an order had been issued from above to send all these materials to Guandu and send them to Hebei by boat within half a month. We're going back. "It's not like an arrow, but it's good news not to stay in Yanzhou to fight, this Yanzhou and Yuan Yaojun are fighting, those ordinary soldiers don't know, but they are too guarded to understand, they can't beat Cao Cao, Cao Cao can't beat Yuan Yao, and now they want to fight with Yuan Yaojun, they are not as good as half of Yuan Yaojun's men in Yanzhou, how to fight, it's better to go back to Hebei, the sooner you go back, the safer.
In the opinion of this Lord Guo Ze, Cao Cao came here to ask for some grain and grass, and Cao Cao fought the autumn wind not once or twice, these Hebei troops were still afraid of Cao Cao's army before, and now they have a contemptuous attitude towards Cao Cao's poor bastards.
Before, he gave Cao Cao military food and grass because he Cao Cao needed him Cao Cao to help guard Xu Du, and now they are all leaving Yanzhou and going back to Hebei, and they still care about him.
"General, spot the enemy scouts!" The scouts of the Hebei army discovered the movement of the tiger and leopard riders, and the tiger and leopard riders naturally discovered the scouts over there.
Subconsciously, he was ready to send soldiers and horses to destroy the pair of scouts.
However, he was stopped by Cao Chun, the current master of the tiger and leopard ride, "No need! Keep marching! "His purpose is to directly take the gate of Xudu City, and let Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in the back follow closely into the city, which is the most important thing.
Twenty miles away from the war horse is just a moment and a half of effort.
"Yes!" The tiger and leopard rode all the way to the outside of Xudu City, and none of the soldiers and horses came to intercept them, and even looked at the wide open city gate of Xudu City in the distance and the chariots and horses coming and going at the city gate, the corners of Cao Chun's mouth began to twitch.
I thought it was a big war, but in the end, it was a low-hanging fruit.
Subconsciously, Cao Cun began to think in his heart, "Is this a conspiracy, will there be Hebei soldiers hiding on both sides?" Obviously, this is Cao Chun's thoughts.
No matter how shabby Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riding is, it can't compare to the previous establishment of 10,000 people, and now there are about 2,000 people.
All Xu Ducheng still sent a small team to inquire about it: "Ahead, it's Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry!" ”
Cao Chun didn't talk, but asked his subordinates to go and deal with it.
After getting a positive answer, the lieutenant of the Hebei Army directly waved his hand: "If you want grain and grass, just wait on the side, the city is busy now, and I have no time to take care of your small things." "The captain of the Hebei army is arrogant, no wonder, taking people's hands is short and eating people's mouths, do you expect a boss to have much respect for a person who reaches out for food?
Listening to these answers, Cao Chun was really happy, it was all happy, and even the captain of the Hebei Army over there looked at the tiger and leopard riding this war horse, and it was like Cao Chun gave an order to let Cao Chun lend them the war horse first, and then give them the war horse after the supplies were delivered.
"Haha, haha!" Cao Chun couldn't help but laugh.
The lieutenant of the Hebei Army over there felt the insult he had received, and couldn't help shouting angrily at Cao Chun, "What are you laughing at? This is an order from above,
"Which one?"
"That's naturally Lord Guo Ze."
"I'm sorry, there's only one person above me, and that's my lord Cao Cao."
"Your lord Cao Cao?" The lieutenant of the Hebei army showed a look of disdain, "Your lord Cao Cao has to bow his head when he sees our family, Lord Guo Ze, and he doesn't look at what he looks like, a bunch of poor people who want food." ”
"Look for death!" The man under the tiger and leopard rider immediately drew his sword.
"Why do you want to rebel!" The commander of the Hebei Army said sharply.
"Hey, you're right! We are here to rebel! Saying that, under the disbelieving eyes of the Hebei military captain, Cao Chun took the lead and cut off the head of the Hebei military captain.
"General Cao Chun is mighty!"
"Inherit the order of the lord's army, the tiger and leopard cavalry capture Xu Ducheng, kill, kill, kill!" Saying that, Cao Chun led his soldiers and horses to kill Xu Du in front.
"Big things are bad, big things are bad!" Another herald ran into Guo Ze's mansion.
"What's wrong again?" Guo Ze is thinking about how to make a special profit in this transportation, because the order given by Yuan Tan above is that he can't get it and is not allowed to let Yuan Yaoxiaoer get it, take away everything that can be taken away, and burn him with a fire that can't be taken away.
For example, if he originally had 100,000 stones of grain and grass, he could sell 50,000 stones to those scholars or to Liu Biaojun, who was close to Xu Du, and it would be regarded as burning, and those gold, silver and jewelry could be burned.
This is definitely a fat trip.,I haven't made a good calculation.,This train of thought has been interrupted again.,Can you not be angry?"
"Lord Hui, Cao Cao's army and Cao Cao's army are here." The herald shouted at Guo Ze with a panicked face.
"Come on, come on, didn't you report for a while? Tell Cao Caojun that if you want food and grass supplies, wait for me, and when we are free, we will give them food! Guo Ze looked disdainful, a bunch of people asked for food.
"No, no, my lord, it's Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao's army, and they have come in. “
"Oh, it's in!" Subconsciously, Guo Ze nodded, and suddenly reacted, something was wrong, "What?" Killed? ”
There were only 2,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and Cao Cao's plan was just to let Cao Chun take the tigers and leopards to take the city gate, but he didn't expect Cao Chun to be more powerful and directly enter the city, and there were less than 100 people left at the city gate to show Cao Cao the way.
Originally, Cao Cao was furious, because Cao Chun disobeyed the military order at something, what if they went into the city and the gate of this capital was blocked? So in this way, he Cao Cao can't get in, and the tiger and leopard ride don't want to come out, but after seeing the gate of this Xu Capital, Cao Cao is not angry, and even if he is Cao Chun, he will do it.
The gate of the entire Xu capital is full of carriages and frames, and it is impossible for the gate to be closed.
"Haha, I'm back!" Although Cao Cao sits in the rear, he is still well aware of the war in front, he Cao Cao was originally a figure who could command a large army to fight, and now it is not overkill for him to operate these battles of more than 10,000 men and horses, but now Cao Cao does not have the kind of ambition and pride that he used to have, and now Cao Cao wants to be able to take Xu Du, and leave after making a fortune from Xu Du.
"yes, it's back!" Guo Jia also sighed with Cao Cao, once upon a time this was the base camp of their Cao Cao army, but now, first lost to Yuan Yao Xiao'er, and then was occupied by Yuan Shaojun, if they want to come back, they can only sneak to Xu Capital to make a fortune when the two strong armies in front of them are at war.
The war in Xu Ducheng, it can't be regarded as a war at all, it is completely a one-sided battle, because the overall strength of Cao Cao's army is discounted, but the remaining more than 1,000 tigers and leopards are real veterans of a hundred battles, this Yuan Tan brought the elite to Hebei, Chen Liu's are half of the general elite miscellaneous soldiers, and in Xu Du, it is even more miscellaneous fish, plus Guo Ze is also a person with a combat strength of only five, if it weren't for nepotism, he wouldn't even be able to mix with a county town in Cao's army.
What's more, now that you have opened the city gate of Xu Ducheng, it is like welcoming Cao Cao's army, and he Cao Cao will not rob you of anyone.
"Report, lord, General Cao Chun has entered the city!"
"Report, General Cao Chun has hit the inner city!"
"Report, General Cao Chun has taken the inner city." All kinds of good news came, Cao Cao was simply an old face and smiled.
But this laugh didn't last long, and Cao Cao frowned, "Report, General Cao Chun caught the Han Emperor!" ”
"Emperor Han?" Cao Cao was happy at first when he mentioned this Han Emperor Liu Xie, because he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to be founded by him Cao Cao in Sichuan, it can be said that Lao Cao opened the eyes of the world and let everyone know that the original Han Emperor could still play like this.
Why did later generations say to Cao Cao that Cao Cao was a traitor, it was because of Cao Cao's play.
As soon as Cao Cao heard that Cao Chun had captured the Han Emperor, he subconsciously wanted to take the Han Emperor away again and take Xu Du to Luoyang.
"The lord must not!" Guo Jia grabbed Lao Cao, although he and Cao Cao are nominally monarchs and ministers, but in fact Guo Jia is Cao Cao's confidant and friend.
It can be said that as soon as Cao Cao's ass pouted, Guo Jia was able to know what Lao Cao wanted.
Cao Cao wanted to use the Han Emperor to make a comeback. “
"Fengxiao, you mean that I can't keep the Han Emperor anymore, right?" Cao Cao is not a fool, he understood as soon as he heard Guo Jia's stop.
Before, he Guo Jia was able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, that was because he Cao Cao had the ability to compete, and at that time, he Cao Cao was also a little stronger than Yuan Shao in the north, but Yuan Shao was not interested in the Han Emperor, so he Cao Cao took advantage of it.
But now that Cao Cao has used Emperor Han, and everyone knows the benefits of Emperor Han, will he give up so easily?
"Has the lord forgotten Yuan Yao'er's excuse for crusading against Yuan Tan Pifu?" Guo Jia added another sentence, which can be regarded as to completely dispel Cao Cao's thoughts.
What excuse did Yuan Yao use to beat Yuan Tan, one is family affection, he is the head of the Yuan family, this Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not obedient, he naturally sent troops, but this is untenable, and the other is Qingjun's side.
Emperor Han has benefits in Yuan Tan's hands, because as long as the princes of the world do not establish themselves as kings, they have to listen to the orders of the Han family, and the superficial work still has to be done, especially some barbarians like these false names.
He Yuan Tan can also live the addiction of the prime minister, but the disadvantage is also here, Yuan Tan doesn't care at all, he directly hits the side of Qingjun, saying that you Yuan Tan is a traitor, and I am here to help the Han Emperor to hear and hear, so Yuan Tan is dumbfounded.
If he Cao Cao brings this Han Emperor back, Yuan Yao will come to the side of the Qing Emperor again, and he will finish the calf for so long, won't he Cao Cao beat Yuan Tan and not give an excuse for Yuan Yao to attack him, so that he can recuperate?
"Hey!" Cao Cao sighed, he also knew that he had no chance.
"My lord, I found Yuan Shao in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the city!"
"Yuan Shao?!" Cao Cao's eyes widened, he didn't expect to see Yuan Shao in Xu Duzhong, after his subordinates brought him into the city, Cao Cao saw him, who was a small man, and he was also his former boss Cao Cao, but now this boss, his former opponent Cao Cao was lying on the bed without moving.
Cao Cao had already learned from the mouths on the side that Yuan Shao was in a hurry at the beginning, and finally bleed on his head, so he fainted.
Looking at Yuan Shao on the bed, Cao Cao really had mixed feelings.
"Originally, originally, you and I fought that day but met in such a place today, you and I are unconscious and the other is like a lost dog, but it also complements each other!" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, they have been fighting for a lifetime, why did he Cao Cao want Dong Zhuo to be the prince of the Eighteenth Road in the first place, why did he give up Dong Zhuo's high-ranking officials and not do it, didn't he have to assassinate Dong Zhuo just to make a name for himself and have a career?
How was he Yuan Shao Yuan Ben not like this, killing the ten permanent servants, being the leader of the alliance, and swallowing Hebei.
But now all this is a dowry for others, one passed out, and the other was driven to Zhili.
"But at the beginning, I'm still a little better than you!" Cao Cao suddenly felt a little better, although he Cao Cao was driven to Zhili by the occupation of the foundation, but he Cao Cao could still open his eyes and gasp no matter what he said, but Yuan Shao was not so good, he could only lie there as a living dead.
What's more, even if Yuan Shao woke up, Cao Cao felt that Yuan Shao would still be angry to death, and his two unfilial sons were fighting to death in Hebei, didn't this prevent Yuan Yao'er from watching a joke?
"Okay, okay, I'll take you back to spend the rest of your life with me!" Cao Cao has a plan to leave here with Yuan Shao and go back to Zhili. “
"Lord Yuan Shao, we can't take it away either!" Guo Jia shook his head at Cao Cao and said.
"Why?" Cao Cao didn't understand, Emperor Han couldn't take it away because Emperor Han was very important and could raise righteousness, but was Yuan Shao also so important?
"If the lord wants to take one person away, the lord still chooses the Han Emperor!" Guo Jia said so, and Cao Cao could only keep his hand.
Yuan Shao is a very important thing for the Hebei war situation, to be honest, Emperor Yuan Yao of the Han Dynasty can not do it, because it is all false, but Yuan Shao is real.
The prestige of the Han Emperor has long been destroyed by Dong Zhuo, and now he can only call out some small princes, you see which one of Jingzhou Liu Biao Huainan Yuan Yao regards the Han Emperor as one thing.
However, Yuan Shao has a huge reputation in Hebei, if Yuan Shao wakes up, Guo Jia has reason to believe that the current Hebei will inevitably be reunified, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan will inevitably reconcile.
Such an important person, Yuan Yao'er said that he didn't want it to be fake, even if he had a contract, Yuan Yao'er would be able to tear it up for you, because the benefits were big enough for him to take risks.
"Okay, okay, I don't want it all, I don't want it anymore! All I need is the ordnance in this city! "Cao Cao, why do you put your mouth shut, now he really can't afford to provoke Yuan Yao'er.
……
Among the East Counties, Yuan Tan can be regarded as retreating again and again, one of the reasons why he is still staying in the East County is that the defense of the city in the East County is also good, which can block Yuan Yao Xiao'er for a while, and another reason is that Yuan Tan is waiting to transport grain, grass, ordnance and all the logistics materials from Xu Du and other territories in Yanzhou that are still in his hands Yuan Tan. 、
He Yuan Tan has long had no plans to compete with Yuan Yao Xiao'er in Yanzhou, but he will not make Yuan Yao Xiao'er feel better if he is withdrawn from Yanzhou, he wants to take away all the things that can be taken away in Yanzhou, and those who can't be taken away will be burned to him.
Destroy the entire Yanzhou to him, and send all the supplies from Yanzhou to Hebei to strengthen his Yuan Tan's power in Hebei.
"Yuan Yao, don't think about getting what I can't get!" Yuan Tan roared in the direction of Dongfang Chen Liu's face with a hideous face.
"Prime Minister, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang outside the camp ask to see you!"
"Oh? Is my brother Liu Bei here? Come in, please. Yuan Tan put down the equipment he was playing with and commanded his subordinates.
"Yes!" The guards walked out under Yuan Tan's order and came to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, "Two adults, the prime minister is invited." ”
"I'm tired of the general." Liu Bei nodded and walked into the mansion with Zhuge Liang.
"Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang has seen the Prime Minister." Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang saw Yuan Tan sitting on the main seat, and Yuan Tan was clenching his fists and bowing his head.
"Brother Liu Bei, why should you be polite." Yuan Tan stepped forward to help Liu Bei up and motioned for them to sit down and talk.
"What is Brother Liu Bei doing this time?" Yuan Tan said knowingly and deliberately?
"Prime Minister, I am here to say goodbye to the Prime Minister." Liu Bei said to Yuan Tan over there.
Yuan Tan was surprised: "So fast? Brother Liu Enbi, why don't you wait a few more days and wait for the soldiers and horses to be prepared before leaving? "Liu Bei's subordinates are also changing their clothes, Yuan Tan also gave Liu Bei some ordnance that he couldn't take away, and Liu Bei's overall strength has also risen a notch, this Yuan Yao'er's soldiers and horses have not yet reached Dongjun.
"Prime Minister, go to Xudu one day earlier, Bei will be able to deploy defenses in Xudu one day earlier, so that Yuan Yao'er can block Yuan Yao'er's soldiers, Bei also plans to send someone to Jingzhou as soon as possible to discuss with that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, my lips are cold, I don't believe that Jingzhou Mu will be unmoved." Liu Bei said it very beautifully, in fact, Liu Bei had already made a plan, ran to Xudu, made a big profit, and saw if it was possible to sell Xudu to Jingzhou, and then take the capital to recruit and buy troops, and go around from outside the gate to Hebei, Yuan Tan is already planning to give up Yanzhou, and is ready to fight with Yuan Shang in Hebei with all his might, which shows the rhythm of fishing in troubled waters, why did he Liu Bei stay and fight with Yuan Yao Xiaoer in Yanzhou.
As for what Yuan Tan was thinking in his heart, he couldn't take those supplies away for a while anyway, so it was better to throw them to Liu Bei, give Liu Bei some dog food, and let Liu Bei help him bite Yuan Yao in Xudu, he didn't expect Liu Bei's dog to be able to bite Yuan Yao'er to death, but as long as it could be disgusting to Yuan Yao'er, it was enough.
"Brother Liu Bei is sincere to Prime Minister Ben, in this case, I won't keep Brother Liu Bei, Brother Liu Bei should leave quickly." Although Yuan Tan is a little regretful, there are still some things in his Xu Capital that he didn't take away, but it doesn't matter, as long as Liu Bei is obedient.
Listening to Yuan Tan's words, in line with the idea of striking while the iron was hot Liu Bei still wanted to take something away from Yuan Tan's hands, and finally got another three hundred war horses from Yuan Tan's hands.
"Oh no, no! The prime minister is not good! I saw a civil official running into Yuan Tan's temporary mansion in a panic, shouting loudly.
"What's wrong? Yuan Yao'er called again? Yuan Tan's first reaction immediately was that Yuan Yao'er swallowed Chen Liu, and immediately killed Yuan Tan.
"No, it's not!" The civil servant shook his head.
"Could it be that Hebei Guotu lost the battle?" Yuan Tan asked with a gloomy face, but Liu Bei on the side was a little happy, because Guo Tu lost the battle, then Guo Tu's status in Yuan Tan's heart would be reduced, so that he Liu Bei could take his place.
"No, no!" The civil servant shook his head anyway.
"What the hell is going on then?" Yuan Tan angrily reprimanded him.
"Yes, yes, Xu Du." The civil servant spoke.
"What's wrong with Xu Du?" Yuan Tan and Liu Bei obviously didn't realize what happened to Xu Du, could it be that Yuan Yao Xiao'er could still beat Xu Du? If this is the case, Yuan Tan will die of laughter, because this is simply Yuan Yao'er looking for death, and the lone army is deep, and this Dongjun has not yet been taken, so he wants to run to Xu Du, isn't this looking for a draw? As long as he Yuan Tan sent his cavalry out to harass Yuan Yao's grain route, Yuan Yao would cry to death.
"It's not Yuan Yao, it's Cao, Cao Cao!" At this moment, this civil official was finally able to say a complete sentence: "It's Cao Cao, Cao Cao hit Xu Du here." ”
Now Yuan Tan and Liu Bei are dumbfounded, Cao Cao hit Xu Du? Wasn't this Cao Cao still in the honeymoon period with Yuan Tan before? Didn't Cao Cao still write an edict against Yuan Yao'er before? Why has he become the culprit of the attack on Xu Du now?
"Isn't Xu Du Guo Ze guarding? There are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city! How could he be beaten into the city by Cao Cao? "Yuan Tan doesn't understand, it's obvious that Guo Ze's subordinates are more than Cao Cao's people, and he Guo Ze has a complete city defense of Xudu, but now, he was beaten into Xudu by Cao Cao, isn't this a joke?
"Prime Minister, this Cao Cao supported our army unprepared, and directly attacked Xudu!" Liu Bei is an ally of Yuan Tan, and so is Cao Cao, it is precisely because of Yuan Tan's promiscuous allies that one of the results is that the rear is basically undefended.
In addition, Lao Cao is simply in charge of Xu Du, after all, the entire Xu Capital City was established by Cao Cao, and this is his Cao Cao's home at all.
Thinking that Cao Cao had invaded Xudu, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei were dumbfounded, Liu Bei was dumbfounded, but he, Liu Bei, had just considered making a fortune from Xudu, and now it's okay. Xu Du is gone, and Cao Cao and Cao Mengde took the lead, as far as Cao Cao's urine is concerned, he can leave Liu Bei half a grain of rice, which is because of his friendship with Liu Bei.
It is more likely to give him Liu Bei a slap in the face, or even ambush him directly, Liu Bei.
Yuan Tan was shocked and immediately shouted, "Where is my father? And what about Your Majesty? "The 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xudu are not important now, and the materials in Xudu are not important, the most important thing for Yuan Tan is his father Yuan Shao and Emperor Han.
One is his trump card for occupying righteousness and eliminating Yuan Shang, and the other is his hole card for coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
If these two lose Yuan Tan, they will cry.
Why was Yuan Tan able to suppress Yuan Shang, one of the very important reasons is that Yuan Shao is in his hands Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao is righteousness, he Yuan Shang resists Yuan Tan, that is unfilial, if Yuan Shao falls into Cao Cao's hands, that fun will be great.
"Not really!" The words of the civil official made Yuan Tan breathe a sigh of relief, as long as Cao Cao did not take Yuan Shao and Emperor Han away, then it didn't matter to Yuan Tan. Xu Ducheng doesn't want it anyway, although Yuan Tan is distressed by those materials, but they are also within the range of bearing, if Cao Cao can take down Xu Du to block Yuan Yao'er, what is the difference between raising Cao Cao's dog and Liu Bei's dog.
"Brother Liu Bei, this may not be possible!" Yuan Tan turned his head and said apologetically to Liu Bei over there
Liu Bei's heart hurts, but what can he say? The original plan was to use Xu Du's materials to recruit troops, but now Yuan Tan has made it clear that it is impossible to divide Xu Du to attack Cao Cao, and even if Cao Cao's materials are finished, he will not be able to come back.
Liu Bei's face was very ugly, and listening to Yuan Tan's words, he finally squeezed out a little smile from his face, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's just a pity, I can't make Yuan Yao'er sad in Yanzhou!" ”
Yuan Tan is also a little unhappy with Cao Cao, there are some things that he Yuan Tan can not want, but you Cao Cao can't come to rob it, if you come to rob it, then it's wrong for you Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, isn't Yuan Yao'er so cheap to take Yanzhou?" Zhuge Liang spoke, he was also hungry and didn't expect this plan to catch up with the changes, originally Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei to rely on Xu Du to make a fortune, but now Cao Cao has stepped in, their strength is not enough to tear up with Lao Cao, so they can only change directions, and they can't just leave Yanzhou empty-handed.
"Huh?" Yuan Tan turned around and looked at Zhuge Liang over there. 、
"Prime Minister, this Yuan Yao Xiao'er can take Yanzhou today, then he may enter Hebei tomorrow, won't the Prime Minister still flee in a hurry like today?" Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Tan over there, with a provocative look.
"Fleeing in a hurry?" Yuan Tan's anger was really provoked by Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister Ben, I just don't want to waste troops with Yuan Yao in Yanzhou!" Yuan Tan defended himself, "Hebei, Hebei is the foundation of this prime minister!" This excuse was put forward by Yuan Yao sent Tian Feng before.
"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei was a little flustered, this Zhuge Liang is fine, why are you going to provoke Yuan Tan, this Xu is gone, they still have to make a living under Yuan Tan, what class are you offending Yuan Tan for.
Zhuge Liang obviously didn't see Liu Bei's hint, but continued to stimulate Yuan Tan: "Hehe, Prime Minister, if you think so, it's the best!" Zhuge Liang suddenly made a big turn, "But Lord Prime Minister, if you don't teach Yuan Yao'er a lesson in Yanzhou, then Hebei will be the next Yanzhou." ”
"So you have a solution?" Yuan Tan's face was gloomy, if it weren't for the scruples of killing Zhuge Liang and killing Liu Bei, it would make the world laugh, and it would also lead to no allies, so Yuan Tan would immediately drag him out and cut him down.
He Yuan Tan has no way, he doesn't believe that Zhuge Liang will have any way to break Yuan, Yuan Tan's words are squeezing Zhuge Liang
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang nodded comfortably,
"What can you do?" Yuan Tan paused when he listened to Zhuge Liang's words, but forgot that Zhuge Liang was disrespectful to him before.
"Without him, only two words!" Zhuge Liang spit out two words word by word from his mouth: "Surrender!" ”
"Hehehehehe!" Yuan Tan suddenly laughed angrily, "What? Do you Zhuge Liang also want to take refuge in that Yuan Yao child? "A Xin comment has already made Yuan Tan so angry that he is about to kill, and now this Zhuge Liang child still dares to say about surrendering, isn't this looking for death?
"Kong Ming, you?" Even Liu Bei doesn't understand, although this Yuan Yao Xiaoer and him Liu Bei do not have a deep feud in the sea of blood, they are also immortal, if they surrender, Yuan Yao will give a whole corpse at most.
"The prime minister is calm and don't be impatient." Zhuge Liang comforted Yuan Tan over there: "The surrender that Prime Minister Liang said is not Liang going to surrender." ”
"Who's that?" Yuan Tan asked with a raised brow.
"Prime Minister, who is the guard of this Xu Capital?" Zhuge Liang asked knowingly.
"Guo Ze." Yuan Tan snorted at Zhuge Liang's cold air, this Guo Ze is the Guo family, and he has a relationship with Guo Tu, otherwise Yuan Tan would not have let Guo Ze serve as the guard of this Xu Capital.
"What is the relationship between Guo Ze and Xin Ping?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
"It's a world friend." The Xin family and the Guo family are really world friends.
"Okay, okay, okay, let this Lord Guo Ze go and surrender Yuan Yao'er." Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Yuan Tan over there.
"Kong Ming, do you mean to let Guo Ze pretend to surrender?" Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have been cooperating for a long time, so they naturally understand what Zhuge Liang means.
Zhuge Liang nodded, "Prime Minister, lord, this Guo Zegang lost Xu Du, logically speaking, it must be a capital crime." "The loss of a city, even if Guo Ze and Guo Tu are related, it is impossible to say that this Guo Tu can kill his relatives in righteousness, not to mention that this Xu Du is still the current capital.
"But the lord can open the net, pardon his capital crimes, and let him atone for his sins and surrender to Yuan Yao'er!" There is really this possibility of using Guo Ze to surrender, and it is inevitable that Guo Ze also knows that staying in Hebei will definitely be a dead end, even if his brother helps, it will plummet, so it is better to go to Yuan Yao.
"Let Guo Ze go and surrender Yuan Yao Xiao'er, won't this Yuan Yao Xiao'er suspect it?" Yuan Tan was a little at a loss for ideas.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Yuan Tan, "Guo Ze's surrender is just a back move, and there is one more critical one in front of this!" ”
"Say!" Yuan Tan became a little interested in Zhuge Liang's ideas.
"This requires the Prime Minister to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Yuan Yaoxiaoer," Zhuge Liang wants to pave the way for Guo Ze's surrender.
"Still want to make peace?" If he could negotiate peace, he Yuan Tan should have negotiated peace before, but now he was beaten up by Yuan Yao'er, Chen is gone, and it will inevitably lose face if he goes to negotiate peace again.
Zhuge Liang continued: "Prime Minister, should have known why my Han soldiers and horses were strong back then, but in the end, they were not able to completely exterminate the Huns? “
"Why?" Yuan Tan is also not interested in foreigners, because he has tens of thousands of Karasuma cavalry under his command, and these Karasuma cavalry seems to be numerous, but they are still not enough compared to the elite heavy armored cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the military strength of the Han Dynasty reached its peak, and in the next hundred years, the Han Dynasty was also intimidating but failed to eliminate the Xiongnu.
"It's because the Huns negotiated peace at the beginning." Zhuge Liang raised his head and recalled the knowledge recorded in those books. "The Xiongnu Xianwang sent an envoy to Han to seek peace, brought thousands of gold, countless jewels, the Han Emperor was pleased with it, entered the camp, entered the Han camp, there was a thin shape among the more than 8,000 war horses, the eyes were red, the red beans appeared under the fur, the first did not notice, and then the horses with it boiled endlessly, such as the state, from the strong and weak, the horse servant looked at the big horse plague, and so on, the Han Dynasty a battalion of 30,000 war horses are infected with diseases and there is no medicine stone to treat." The Huns lived in the steppe all year round against war horses
"In my opinion, there are thirty sick horses in the army, of which twelve are spitting, eight are dying, and the remaining ten are also swaying. It's not a good thing! The Prime Minister can send a thousand war horses as a thing to seek peace, and then join these horses to go in, I believe that Yuan Yao Xiao'er will not be able to perceive it, the Xiongnu Xian King can use it, we can also use it, the power of the Han Emperor and the whole country can not find a good medicine, how can he Yuan Yao Xiao'er find it. Once there is a problem with Yuan Yao'er's war horse, then half of his main force will be lost! "Zhuge Liang's strategy can not be described as not poisonous, use the plague horse to send it to the Huainan army, once the disease of the plague horse spreads, then several main forces of Yuan Yaojun's army will be damaged, first go to the camp, and the state wolf ride, Yu Linwei These are all cavalry troops.
When Yuan Yao was angry, it was Zhuge Liang's second strategy that was implemented.
"Will this Yuan Yao Xiao'er agree to sue for peace?" Liu Bei was a little puzzled, for Yuan Yao'er, he really wouldn't necessarily agree to Yuan Tan's request for peace, because why, do you think, Chen Liu, who was directly beaten down by others, you have also been broken, and there is only one Dongjun left, Yuan Tan will undoubtedly go, and talk to you
"Yuan Yao, I understand, no matter whether he agrees to negotiate peace or not, he will inevitably accept these war horse gifts." Zhuge Liang has long studied Yuan Yao very thoroughly, that is, a person who has a advantage and does not take advantage of a bastard.
"Humph!" Yuan Tan also snorted coldly, this Yuan Yao Xiaoer is really such a person, he and his third brother Yuan Shang are fighting, this Yuan Yao is fishing in troubled waters, Yuan Yao's Huainan Army is so big, half of it is given by him Yuan Tan.
"Okay, just do what you said Kong Ming, if it is done, it will definitely not lose Kong Ming's credit." Yuan Tan has really been oppressed by Yuan Yao'er for a long time, originally a Chen Liu'er was still able to vent a little, but now Chen Liu'er has also been taken down by Yuan Yao'er, Yuan Tan feels even more aggrieved, once there is a chance to retaliate against Yuan Yao'er, then Yuan Tan will inevitably be impossible to let go.
"It's right to work hard for the prime minister." Zhuge Liang lowered his head and saluted Yuan Tan.
In Yanzhou Chen Liuzhong, Yuan Yaojun finally took the entire Chen Liucheng with the help of the Xin Ping brothers, and there was not much action in Chen Liucheng, and the guards over there sent the news, and those who fled to Dongjun in one breath actually sent an envoy to negotiate peace.
"Peace?" Yuan Yao sneered: "Why did he, Yuan Tan, go earlier!" "Yuan Tan's so-called peace negotiation must also want to get the remaining states and counties in Yanzhou, how could Yuan Yao let go of such a big piece of pie?
Yuan Tan had already let his sailors go west along the Yellow River, in order to block Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses on the Yellow River, Yuan Tan's people could leave and even the soldiers and horses could be taken away, but those heavy Yuan Yao would not allow Yuan Tan to take away, and even the person Yuan Yao wanted had to stay.
"Brother Yao, this time Yuan Tan Ke has made a bloody investment, five thousand war horses will be sent when they are sent, this is just a deposit, are you sure you won't see it?" Huang Yi is eyes are red when he looks at those grains, grasses and ordnance.
|“ Is this all about you, Huang Yi, General Huang, confused? Something that doesn't make a difference! Yuan Yao scolded Huang Yi, he Yuan Yao wanted the baggage ordnance of the entire Yanzhou, when Yuan Shao led the army south, he didn't bring a lot of good things, those things are fundamentally different from these war horses.
"Tell him that it's not impossible for Yuan Tan to ask for peace, give up everything and surrender in front of me, and the soldiers and horses in Hebei will also teach me! I'll let him Yuan Tan sue for peace! "Yuan Yao, this can be regarded as a lion's big mouth, let Yuan Tan give up everything? If Yuan Tan agreed, it would indeed be the same as not implementing the plan he had made before, and directly taking Yanzhou and half of Hebei, and then the army would go north to destroy Yuan Shang.
Yuan Yao made it clear that he didn't want Yuan Tan to have a good time, and he didn't agree to make peace with Yuan Tan.
Hearing this, Yuan Yaojun and everyone knew that Yuan Yao was clearly driving people away, so the guards nodded and were about to leave, Yuan Tan's messenger ran away.
This guard was just about to take a step, but was stopped by Yuan Yao: "Slow! Yuan Yao shouted to the guards over there.
"What else does the lord command?" The guard lowered his head and clenched his fist at Yuan Yao and asked.
"People can be driven away, and those war horses and gold and silver will be left! War horses are distributed to each battalion, gold and silver are put into the treasury, and I have to leave a little meeting gift for my Huainan army at a time. Yuan Yao's idea of being greedy for a little bit began again.
"Yes!"
"Brother Yao'er is Brother Yao'er, and he has to pluck his feathers when he geese!" Huang Yi smiled and slapped Yuan Yao's fart, but he didn't know that this fart was slapped on the horse's tail.
"Huh?" Yuan Yao frowned, his eyes widened, and he glared, "Get out!" ”
……
"Haha, then Yuan Yao'er was really fooled!" In Yuan Tan's army, the envoy he sent out was explaining to Yuan Tan what he had done to the Huainan army camp, although Yuan Tan was very upset, the envoy didn't even touch Yuan Yao's face, but he heard that Yuan Yao had already sent his war horses and gold and silver. 、
"It's not a matter of a day or two for Yuan Yao'er to be greedy, Prime Minister, in this case, as long as we wait for good news, then Yuan Yao'er will inevitably lose a lot." Zhuge Liang took a step forward and said to Yuan Tan.
"As long as you can defeat Yuan Yao, Xiao'er will inevitably have the benefit of Kong Ming!" Yuan Tan promised to promise.
……
Yuan Tan's five thousand war horses were pulled into the camp by Yuan Yao
