Chapter 991: The Big Guy and the Little Brother

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, this truth is basically understood by everyone in the mixed society.

Although Yuan Shu is not a social person, he still understands the principles of society, on the one hand, he looks at the allies who have failed to give it back many times, and on the other hand, he also wants to solve it as soon as possible and end the situation of the Yuan family's division of the world as soon as possible.

After all, he is Yuan Highway!

I don't know when it started, there is a saying that quietly spreads, "Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye." ”

To be honest, Yuan Shu didn't believe much in this prophecy, thinking that these things were all things that were chattering about gods, and they were not enough to believe.

But now, it seems, sometimes you can still listen to it......

Those who represent the Han should be painted high.

What a good word.

Catchy and timeless.

But what made Yuan Shu particularly depressed was that he didn't say the specific time! This bastard!

But, forget it, sooner or later, isn't it?

The important thing now is not this, but the guy raised by the little mother......

This insatiable thing!

Taking advantage of the fame of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu said, just that, how much is it a member of the Yuan family, and he doesn't care.

robbed Jizhou Han Fu's position, Yuan Shu said, it's okay, anyway, the meat is blocked in the pot, just grab it.

But I didn't expect this damn little lady to send that eggless junior to Yanzhou to make trouble!

How can this be endured?

How can this be endured by Yuan Shu?

Above Yuzhou is Yanzhou, and Yanzhou, a piece of land, was originally planned by Yuan Shu for a long time, and when he was about to get into his pocket, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban that he instigated finally killed Liu Dai, but he was suddenly intervened by Cao Cao, and even the people and horses were ready to swallow it in one bite, how can Yuan Shu's mood be described as sour?

In fact, the current Yuan Shu can also be regarded as a strong party, with a wide land, sufficient food, and many soldiers, and there are Ji Ling and Sun Ben as generals, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, and Liu Shen as deputy generals, all of whom can take charge on their own, if Sun Jian is still there, alas, this damn old cousin of the Liu family......

After Sun Jian's death, it was not impossible to fight with Liu Biao, but then Liu Biao, under the advice of Kuai Yue and others, led his troops to attack Yuan Shu's grain storage in Nanyang, and caused a certain amount of pressure on the flank of Yuan Shu's offensive line, which eventually caused Yuan Shu to give up the plan to continue the offensive and turn his attention to the north.

The generals in Yuan Shu's hands originally had a Lu Bu.

It's just that Lu Bu, this guy, has become a lost dog, and he still holds on to what kind of warm shelf. What can a county marquis with a distant collar be proud of?

If you want to have no territory, if you want soldiers without soldiers, what kind of majesty do you play in front of Lao Tzu?

If you are willing to put down your body and come to pay a good visit to Yu, Yuan Shu said that he is not without the grace of tolerating people, so he will naturally give some arrangements, but after Lu Bu arrived in Yuzhou, not only did he not bow low and be small, but also wanted money and food, soldiers, and equipment......

Do you really take yourself seriously?

So Yuan Shu deliberately delayed for a few days and ignored it, but as a result, Lu Bu not only didn't know how to come to the door to ask for help, but actually set troops to the surrounding villages and counties to extort money and food!

Now Yuan Shu can't bear it at all, let Lao Tzu cool off!

However, it was somewhat because Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo's face, so he drove him away. Of course, Yuan Shu still spoke quite beautifully, and he didn't embarrass Lu Bu.

The pool in this place is small, and it can't accommodate Lu Bu, the king, to toss around, probably that's what it means.

Then Lu Bu left, seeking a wider mud pool......

Anyway, Yuan Shu is thinking about it now, thinking about it, and he thinks that the most important thing is not to focus on goods like Lu Bu, but to focus on the north.

Yuan Shao, who is raised by this little lady, is overwhelmed by himself in everything, and it is also the biggest obstacle to his future entry into the Ninth Five-Year Plan, if he does not get rid of this obstacle to his career, the great trouble will last forever, not to mention that once Yanzhou is no longer in his own hands, his base in the area of North Jingzhou, Yuzhou, which is narrow and narrow, may be attacked everywhere.

The most important thing is that it is not conducive to Yuan Shu's march into Heluo!

Chen Liu is stuck at this Heluo intersection, and wants to enter Henan Yin, and then get involved in the central government, how can he do it without controlling Yanzhou?

So Yuan Shu took advantage of the stalemate between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, united with Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, and even had contact with the Montenegrin Army, and launched a large-scale joint encirclement and suppression operation to eliminate the scum of the Yuan family for Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

However, due to the limited communication conditions of the Han Dynasty, the first encirclement and suppression operation was not successful.

If it was within Yuan Shu's plan, Gongsun Zan in the north would attract Yuan Shao's main force, and Tao Qian in the east would lead his troops to attack Qingzhou and knock out Yuan Shao's younger brother Zang Hong, and then the Montenegrin army would make trouble in Yecheng, so that Yuan Shao would lose half his life if he didn't die!

But the results were not satisfactory.

Gongsun Chan fought, but he was defeated too quickly.

Yecheng also rebelled, but it was a pity that it was difficult to support it alone.

Tao Qian sent troops, but when he saw that the momentum was not right, he turned around and went back......

These dwarfs really can't pick out tall people!

So Yuan Shu decided to do it himself.

At this time, Yuan Shu, in addition to being entrenched in Nanyang, also controlled most of Yingchuan in Yuzhou, most of Runan, and even Chen and Pei were under Yuan Shu's control, and these places were all large counties with large populations.

At this time, Cao Cao had just taken the opportunity of Liu Dai's death to get an appointment from Yuan Shao for the assassination of Yanzhou, and everyone knew that this appointment was not recognized by the central court......

In fact, all of Cao Cao's current official positions, such as the Taishou of Dongjun and General Fenwu, are the same as the Yanzhou Assassin this time, all of which were appointed by Yuan Shao.

And before Liu Dai's death, when it was reported to the central court, the court still sent a new Yanzhou assassin, Jin Shang.

When this sad Jin Shang finally arrived at Yanzhou's territory, he found that Cao Cao had swaggered as the Yanzhou assassin to begin to sort out and return to Yanzhou's relevant government affairs and military. In desperation, Jin Shang chose to settle himself nearby, and attached himself to Yuan Shu's side.

Therefore, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to defend the government of the Han Dynasty under the banner of accusing and denouncing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao for having no one in their eyes and being autocratic, and on this ground, he took Jin Shang and 160,000 horses to kill Yanzhou, and the first stop of the attack was Chenliu County, which was at the intersection of Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Yuan Shu set out from Luyang, passed through Yuzhou and entered Chenliu, stationed the main force in Fengqiu County, Chenliu County, and at the same time sent Liu Shen to lead a part of the army to Kuangting. Yuan Shu planned to divide his troops into two routes, forming horns with each other, and no matter where Cao Cao attacked, he could respond to each other.

As a precaution against Liu Biao taking the opportunity to make some small moves, Yuan Shu left Sun Ben to stay in his hometown.

At the same time, Yuan Shu also invited Tao Qian of Xuzhou to attack together and fight together, of course, Tao Qian also felt that this was a good opportunity, so he said that he would cooperate with Yuan Shu to fight together.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and knew that he could not resist Yuan Shu's army, so he hurriedly asked his friend Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao naturally knew the urgency, so he was obliged to agree to help Zhang Miao resist Yuan Shu's attack, and a battle that might determine Cao Cao's life and death began.

If you don't fight, Cao Cao will have no way out, but the problem is that this battle is not easy to fight.

Whether it is from the perspective of territory or from the perspective of troops, the gap between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is still relatively large. At this time, Yuan Shu was at his peak, although Sun Jian's defeat gave Yuan Shu some blows, but it was not a matter of breaking the muscles and bones, just the 160,000 troops that attacked were enough for Cao Cao to drink a pot.

Of course, Cao Cao also knows that there is some water in this 160,000, but this is also a convention, just like himself, isn't he also claiming to have received 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers......

It's good that everyone knows it.

Purely in terms of numbers, it seems that 300,000 is greater than 160,000, but in fact, among these Qingzhou yellow scarves that Cao Cao just collected, a large part of them are people who have been brought in, how much combat power can these people have?

Even the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, compared with the soldiers of Nanyang, Runan and other places, it is clear which is higher and which is lower.

On the other hand, although Cao Cao is now a state assassin, the territory he actually controls is mainly Dongjun, and other places have not yet fully accepted it.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao's grain and grass have been a big problem from the beginning, especially after accepting the 300,000 yellow scarves from Qingzhou, it is equivalent to invisibly having 300,000 more mouths! Although the Yellow Turban soldiers have always been used to suffering, it does not mean that they can skip eating......

And the entire Yanzhou, whether it is from the Zhongping period or to the present, whether it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, or the crusade against Dong Zhuo, or even the looting of the Montenegrin Army, coupled with the attack of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou some time ago, Yanzhou is basically the main battlefield, production and farming and so on have been devastated, whether it is the people or the soldiers, they have reached the limit, how much spare power can be taken?

So now, Cao Cao is also facing an extremely difficult predicament.

However, in such a situation, Yuan Shao also said that Cao Cao should send his family to Jizhou to avoid the threat of the scourge of swords......

In the past, when the central court was still authoritative, local officials had to keep their families in Kyoto, and even when Liu Yan was the pastor of Yizhou, it was no exception, but the subsequent Dong Zhuo period was relatively chaotic, and no one took this seriously in the future.

Yuan Shao said this, although it seems to be full of warmth on the surface, but in fact? In fact, it was the same as what the central court did before, asking Cao Cao to hand over his family members as hostages.

After all, Jizhou is Yuan Shao's old nest, and Cao Cao, whether it is General Fenwu or the freshly baked Yanzhou Assassin History, is sealed by Yuan Shao, which is actually equivalent to Yuan Shao's local court officials.

When Cao Cao received Yuan Shao's letter, his whole heart was already half cold, in addition to feeling the deep malice in it, he also understood that when Yuan Shao had not started fighting, he already felt that Cao Cao could not beat Yuan Shu......

In fact, at such a moment, Cao Cao was disheartened, and wanted to send his family members to Jizhou according to what Yuan Shao said, after all, the situation in the entire Yanzhou is also confusing, and now he wants Cao Cao to pack a ticket and say that he will be able to win Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao does not have this confidence.

However, Cao Cao did not decide to send his family to Jizhou immediately, because after all, Yuan Shao himself did not defeat Gongsun Zhan, and he was still at a standstill, not to mention that Yecheng had also broken out in rebellion before......

Therefore, Cao Cao also sent a letter back to Yuan Shao, euphemistically saying that the road is not very peaceful now, the Montenegrin army has plundered many times, and there are more soldiers who have sent their families to the past, and there are problems with their own defenses, and they bring less, and there is no guarantee of safety on this road, so let's wait.

After fooling his boss in the past, Cao Cao turned his head, and he also needed to deal with his own little brother now, and Dongjun was not monolithic.

Yanzhou also has scholars, and there are also rural heroes.

Cao Cao took over the Yanzhou Assassin History, so who should the original seal of the Dongjun Taishou in his hand give to?

As the Yanzhou scholars of Dongjun, they naturally watched with a blank eye, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to change hands, but he gave the seal of the Taishou of Dongjun to Xiahoudun.

After Xiahou Ying, the servant of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiahou Ying, also had a kinship with Cao Cao. When Cao Cao raised troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, Xiahoudun followed Cao Cao to fight and served as a general. Later, after courting Dong Zhuo, after Cao Cao obtained the title of General Fenwu, he took Xiahoudun as Sima.

After Cao Cao gained a foothold in Dongjun, he sent Xiahou to settle in Baima, and soon he was promoted to the captain of Zhichong, and now he has led the Taishou of Dongjun......

Of course, for Cao Cao, only the people of his own family can rest assured, how can the hard-won Taishou seal ribbon be easily given to others?

But for the scholars of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's behavior and appearance are quite ugly.

When Cao Cao arrived in Dongjun, there were not many soldiers and horses, and there was no food and grass.

Cao Cao wanted to increase troops, weapons, grain and grass, and who provided it?

Cao Cao issued decrees, sorted out the affairs of the Eastern County, collected taxes, etc., and who helped to assist?

It wasn't easy for Cao Cao before, everyone knew it in their hearts, so they didn't ask for anything, but now that Cao Cao has been promoted, then the benefits big and small should always be shared, right?

In the military, the Yanzhou scholars are also self-aware, and they don't expect Cao Cao to come up with any position, but the civil affairs side will have to be divided after all, right?

These local scholars in Yanzhou also know in their hearts that Cao Cao is indeed reluctant to hold such an important position as the Taishou of Dongjun, but he can't say nothing, even pretending to be a little saved, and directly stuffed it to Cao Cao's own family, so do you still put the Yanzhou scholars in your eyes?

As a result, the Yanzhou scholars were somewhat dissatisfied, although this kind of emotion was not fatal, but at this critical juncture when Yuan Shu was about to overwhelm the border, it was quite troublesome......

What to do?

Dongjun can't be lost, but the Yanzhou clan can't offend Cao Cao now......
