"My cheap uncle can't die right now!" Yuan Yao knew that the story he told Yuan Tan had successfully given Yuan Tan an idea, and he had even begun to take action, although Yuan Yao also knew that a divided Hebei would bring less threat to Yuan Yao than a unified Hebei.

But now is not the time. Because once Yuan Shao died, then Yuan Yao would have to face the alliance of Yuan Tan and Cao Cao.

When the time comes, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will fight in the dark, and Cao Cao will deal with him wholeheartedly.

This is what Yuan Yao can't allow, what he wants now is for Hebei and Cao Cao to continue to consume, only in this way can he Yuan Yao get more benefits, grow stronger step by step, and then annex both sides.

Yuan Yao is irritable, what kind of way does he have to make Yuan Tan and Cao Cao unable to form an alliance?

Yuan Tan dared to kill the envoy at the risk of offending himself, that is, he was ready to negotiate peace with Cao Cao.

Yuan Tan has already made up his mind not to fight, so the rest is Cao Cao.

This is only true if Cao Cao does not agree to form an alliance with Yuan Tan.

"If the lord wants to stop Yuan Tan and Cao Cao from forming an alliance, there are only two ways!" Xu Shu said eloquently: "One is to immediately send troops to attack Cao Cao!" ”

If Cao Cao is immediately attacked, Cao Cao will inevitably return to defense, and Yuan Tan may sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight for the sake of the Huainan Army and Cao **.

"Attack Cao Cao?" Yuan Yao frowned, Cao Cao is a new victory now, the black nest is over, although Cao Cao's losses are not small, but the surviving soldiers and horses are all elite, and the morale is booming, and now attacking Cao Cao may not have reached the territory of Yanzhou, Cao Cao will return to reinforce the troops and horses. This may exacerbate the trend of peace talks between Yuan Tan and Cao Cao, after all, Yuan Yao is not a good thing for both sides.

Seeing that Yuan Yao was reluctant to die to Cao Cao now, Xu Shu could only use the second method!

"The second way of the lord, that is, to immediately send troops to attack Yuan Shang!" Xu Shu continued.

"Attack Yuan Shang?" Yuan Yao was even more confused, how could Yuan Shang say that there was no conflict of interest with them, if he couldn't stop Yuan Tan and Cao Cao from forming an alliance at that time, he would have to ally with Yuan Shang.

"The lord can only be anxious if we take Yuan Shang like a bamboo, or if we capture Qingzhou and attack Hebei, Cao Cao can be in a hurry!" If Yuan Yao attacked Yuan Shang and quickly occupied Qingzhou and threatened Hebei, then Cao Cao would be in a hurry.

Once Yuan Yao gets too much in this war, then he Cao Cao will be at a disadvantage next, so watching Yuan Yao attack Hebei, Cao Cao will inevitably come to get a piece of the pie, and follow Yuan Yao to attack Hebei together, and there will be no need for peace talks at that time.

"Overwhelming? How easy it is to say that! "Yuan Yao knows that Yuan Shang is not the opponent of his Huainan army, but Yuan Shang is not muddy, there are still 100,000 troops under his hands, that is, a city by city to take a city to attack a day, and it will take several months for him to attack the huge Qingzhou.

"Lord, we can buy this Qingzhou!" Xu Shu said with a smile,

"Buy? You mean the same as before? "Yuan Shangke bought a Langya County from Yuan Yao before, and now Yuan Yao wants to buy Qingzhou from Yuan Shang, is Yuan Shang willing to sell it?

"Maybe Yuan Shang wouldn't have agreed before!" Once Yuan Shang sells Qingzhou to Yuan Yao, then Yuan Shao will definitely not bypass Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang and his eldest brother are both acting in front of their father Yuan Shao, how can they be willing to give up Qingzhou.

But now it's different, "Lord, Yuan Shao's life and death are unknown now, if we tell Yuan Shang the news, what do you say Yuan Shang will do?" Xu Shu said to Yuan Yao.

If Yuan Shang knew that Yuan Shao's life and death were unknown now, and Yuan Tan was giving orders in Guandu, he would inevitably return to Jizhou, Yuan Shang was not stupid, and Qingzhou could not compare to Jizhou.

In addition, Yuan Yao has Yuan Shang's handle in his hands, and under coercion and temptation, he Yuan Shang has to leave even if he is unwilling.

"That's right!" Yuan Yao's eyes lit up, and he dared to do it, Yuan Yao immediately gave the order to go north, and the main force of the Huainan Army in Xuzhou went north to Langya County.

Among them, Yuan Yao also wrote a letter to Cao Cao in Guandu.

This letter is nothing else, it is Yuan Yao who wants to form an alliance with Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can stabilize the situation in Guandu, even if it is an alliance between Yuan Tan and create an opportunity for his Yuan Yao's Huainan army, if he can fight to Hebei, he will definitely not be able to treat Cao Cao, Jizhou and Zhou will be given to Cao Cao, and he Yuan Yao will be Qingzhou and Youzhou Yunyun.

"Brother Yao, you wrote this letter to Cao Cao, can Cao Cao believe it?" Huang Yi looked at the contents of the letter and hesitated, Yuan Tan cut the envoy of the Huainan Army, and will he form an alliance with the Huainan Army?

"I don't care if he believes it or not!" Yuan Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I write this letter to Cao Cao, whether he believes it or not, I just want to make him suspicious!" ”

Yuan Yao and Cao Cao now have the same idea, that is, if I can't get it, don't think about it, if Yuan Yao really forms an alliance with Yuan Tan, Yuan Yao attacks Yuan Shang, and it is Yuan Yao who gets cheap, Cao Cao will definitely not be willing.

What's more, if Xu Shu's strategy succeeds, he Cao Cao will have to believe it if he doesn't believe it!

Huang Yi didn't seem to understand, and under Yuan Yao's instructions, he immediately sent someone to send the letter to Guandu.

On the other hand, Lao Cao Ke really counts whether Jitai is here.

Because Yuan Tan was bent on eradicating dissidents, not only did Yuan Tan have fewer opponents, but Lao Cao also had more soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shao's four court pillars, Wen Chou Yan Liang died on the battlefield and was killed by Lu Bu, Zhang He took the first camp and disappeared, and the remaining Gao Ran was also transferred to the frontal battlefield as cannon fodder by Yuan Tan's order, and forced Gao Ran to make a military order.

Gao Ran was angry, your mother, Lao Tzu stopped playing and surrendered directly with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which really made Cao Cao overjoyed.

Lao Cao's own soldiers and horses are full of only 40,000 field troops that can be taken out, and a lot of people have died in the offensive and defensive battles of Guandu, this Gao Ran brought a quarter of the soldiers and horses at once, can Cao Cao not be happy?

This is not counting, from Xuchang, Cheng Yu's pig killing Dafa has also been effective, killing a group of imperial party figures, raiding a home, and actually looting tens of thousands of grains, grass, gold and silver from Xuchang.

These are enough to alleviate Lao Cao's current decline.

Gao Lan's surrender, with Yuan Shao's army, and the entire defense were all laid out in front of Cao Cao's eyes.

Where the defense is strong, where there are many soldiers and horses, he Cao Cao knows it well.

What's more, how much food is left in Wuchao, Gao Ran also knows that now the Hebei army and Cao Cao's army are beginning to be poorer, and whoever is poorer will lose.

He Cao Cao doesn't have much food, and the Hebei army is even less, not to mention the huge number of 300,000 troops in the Hebei army.

Yuan Yao and the others guessed correctly, and soon Yuan Tan's puppet sent his envoy, this person was definitely Yuan Tan's henchman, surnamed Guo Mingming.

This person and Guo Tu, the first strategist in Yuan Tan's hands, naturally have nothing to do with each other, and he is a distant cousin of Guo Tu.

This Guo Ming came to meet Cao Cao in the name of Yuan Tan, what kind of person is Cao Cao! Yuan Shao knows that a person who wants to save face, even if he loses, it is impossible to send an envoy to sue for peace, and now this envoy is under the banner of Yuan Tan.

"Isn't it the original?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he immediately became happy.

Even more excited than meeting Xu You before, Cao Cao met this person named Guo Ming in his tent that night. "Guo Ming came to meet Prime Minister Cao Cheng on behalf of my lord General Yuan Tan!" Guo Ming was very polite, Cao Cao nodded and asked Guo Ming to hurry up.

To make a long story short, soon Guo Ming told Cao Cao his intentions, that is, he Guo Ming represented Yuan Tan Yuan, the eldest son, and now he wanted to negotiate peace with Cao Cao.

"General Yuan Tan?" Guo Jia on the side opened his mouth and spoke, "General Guo Ming, if I remember correctly, General Yuan Tan is the eldest son of the great general Yuan Shao?" ”

"Exactly!" Guo Ming nodded,

"Isn't the commander of this official crossing the general Yuan Shao? When did you become General Yuan Tan? Guo Jia asked Guo Ming with a smile.

Guo Ming was very calm, or his original intention was to tell Cao Cao everything about Yuan Shaojun.

"Back to this adult's words, our family's General Yuan Tan is now the commander of the entire Guandu battalion!"

"What about General Yuan Shao?"

"Don't hide it from Prime Minister Cao, because Prime Minister Cao Cheng used troops like a god, he fell unconscious after the fire in the black nest, and handed over the tiger talisman to my young general before he fell unconscious!" Guo Ming said calmly.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and both of them saw a smile in each other's eyes, and they had already confirmed the news.

"Brother Benchu is in a coma? Can you ask a doctor for treatment? What did the doctor say? Cao Cao asked pretending to be concerned.

Guo Ming also knew what Cao Cao meant, he cared about Yuan Shao or something, it was all fake, he Cao Cao meant to ask Yuan Shao how long he had been in a coma and how long he could be in a coma!

"This, this!" Guo Ming didn't dare to say some words clearly.

"What? Is there anything you can't say? Cao Cao said dissatisfiedly.

Guo Ming tentatively asked Cao Cao, "Prime Minister Cao wants the general to be in a coma for how long?!" ”

What does it mean that Cao Cao wants Yuan Shao to be in a coma for how long? Cao Cao is a little confused, is this his lord or your lord.

"What do you say?" Guo Jia looked at Guo Ming over there with glittering eyes and asked,

"If Prime Minister Cao Cheng agrees to my general Yuan Tan's peace talks, in order for the people of Jizhou and Yanzhou to no longer suffer from war, the general should not wake up!"

"Oh?" The killing intent in Lao Cao's eyes emerged, and it was Lao Cao's nature to be suspicious and suspicious.

Guo Mingqiang endured the fear in his heart, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng, the Ming people don't say secret words, my lord wants Prime Minister Cao Cheng to help him get the position of the lord of Hebei, if Prime Minister Cao Cheng agrees to strike the army, then the general will never wake up, and at the same time, if it is done, my lord is also willing to form an alliance with Prime Minister Cao Cheng and you to jointly crusade against the traitors Yuan Shang and Yuan Yao!" Help Prime Minister Cao Cheng recover Xuzhou and Qingzhou! ”

"Kill your father!" Cao Cao was also surprised, he really didn't expect that this Yuan Tan Yuan Dagongzi would dare to play such a play.

Even if his old Cao used Cao's father as an excuse to attack Xuzhou, he was only killing people with a knife, and now this Yuan Tan dared to do it directly, which was half a point stronger than his Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia on the side.

Cao Cao called Guo Jia to let Guo Jia listen to him on the side and give him advice.

Under Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia nodded in agreement.

Yuan Tan killed Yuan Shao, this charge of killing his father can't run away, not only that, once Yuan Tan retreats from Hebei, then he will inevitably fight with Yuan Shang, because these two good sons of Yuan Shao are not convinced by one another.

Then in this way, he Cao Cao can remove the biggest threat to his head, Hebei, and then Yuan Tan actually took the initiative to sue for peace, which means that the initiative of this negotiation has been taught by Yuan Tan to his Cao Cao's hands.

and the current Yuan Tan, Cao Cao is not incapable, but what about fighting to the end? Yuan Tan can't hold on, how long can he Cao Cao last.

It's better to accept it when it is good, get enough benefits from Yuan Tan's hands, and then oppose it to deal with another person, that is the traitor Yuan Yao that Guo Ming said.

Heads-up, Yuan Yao is not Cao Cao's opponent at all. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's sudden dispatch of troops before, Yuan Yao would have been solved by Cao Cao.

Waiting for Cao Cao to solve the Huainan Army, Hebei is almost the same, two dogs, even their father Cao Cao is not afraid of these two goods?

Taking a step back, Cao Cao left all the 200,000 Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in this official crossing, so what?

As long as Yuan Shao is alone, as long as Yuan Shao is alive, with Yuan Shao's prestige, he will not worry about soldiers and horses, and the population of Hebei Sanzhou is millions.

In the land of Yan Zhao, Qin Bai killed 200,000 soldiers in the pit back then, and the Zhao State was never destroyed, which is enough to see the quality of the soldiers in the land of Yan and Zhao.
