Chapter 139: The Terrible Cao Cao
However, Lu Bu will not give Cao Cao a chance to develop, and when Cao Cao's foothold in Yanzhou is not stable, he will definitely be able to drive Cao Cao out of Yanzhou and even let Cao Cao withdraw from the stage of hegemony.
"Don't be angry, although Cheng Yu's resourcefulness is good, under the current situation in Yanzhou, it is extremely difficult to help Cao Cao get out of the crisis." Jia Xu said: "As expected, Cao Cao will definitely send an envoy here. ”
"What is Wenhe's plan?"
"Secretly wooing the people of Yanzhou, before the lord led the army to fight against the Yanzhou army, and won many victories, which made the people of Yanzhou fearful, as long as the officials of Yanzhou succeeded, why not get greater benefits in this battle." Jia Xu laughed.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "In this matter, Wen He is responsible for sending Yuan Shu's envoy away as soon as possible." ”
"Whoa." Jia Xu arched his hand.
Unlike the joy and anger of other princes, Lu Bu showed it very directly, and such a monarch would not say that he used other means in secret, which was good news for his courtiers.
As a monarch, it is very necessary to be a monarch, to be invisible, Taishan collapses in front of him and his face does not change, so that his courtiers cannot grasp the changes in the monarch's mood, it is very necessary, and Lu Bu will need a long time to hone on this road.
The breath of war is quietly coming, the turmoil in Yanzhou, and the deployment of Yuan Shu's army all indicate that in the future, a large-scale war is likely to break out.
Many officials in Xuzhou are secretly speculating what kind of attitude Xuzhou will have in the changes in Yanzhou, and more officials feel that the Xuzhou army will not miss this opportunity, and it can be said that there are a lot of grievances between the Yanzhou army and Lu Bu, and when the situation in Yanzhou is the most complicated, it is the most important thing to seize more benefits from Yanzhou.
As for the name, it is very simple, the Yanzhou Yellow Turban is raging, and even Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai was killed by the hands of the Yellow Turban, and he is also a Han courtier, and it is not reasonable to send troops to pacify the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou.
Few people are optimistic about the situation Cao Cao is in Yanzhou, even if Cao Cao has many means, this time he is facing internal and external troubles.
As Jia Xu expected, when Yuan Shu transferred troops, Cao Cao sent Yanzhou to engage Wang Kai to come to Xuzhou again.
It was not the first time that Wang Kai had contact with Lu Bu, and when he learned that Cao Cao had the intention of befriending Lu Bu, he took the initiative to ask for help.
Liu Dai died, Cao Cao became the ruler of Yanzhou, although the appointment of the imperial court has not come down, this matter has actually been determined, what worries Wang Kai the most is that Yanzhou can come out of this crisis, the Yanzhou Wang family is not a family, if in this turmoil in Yanzhou, can not find the right team, the ensuing consequences must be serious.
Envoy to Xuzhou, isn't Wang Kai looking for opportunities for the Wang family.
At present, the officials of Yanzhou are generally not very optimistic about Cao Cao, and the fact that Dongjun can defeat the Yellow Turbans one after another does not mean that after taking charge of Yanzhou, they can lead the Yanzhou army to victory, Yanzhou not only has the Yellow Turbans ravaging the counties, but also Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are eyeing each other, and the soldiers and horses of these two princes are the biggest threat.
Especially in the face of the Xuzhou Army, how much fighting spirit can the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army raise.
Wang Kai also has a channel to inquire about the news, after learning that Yuan Shu's envoy is in the city, he feels the urgency of the situation, if he can succeed in uniting with Lu Bu this time, Yanzhou may be able to get out of the crisis.
Just when all parties speculated about how the situation in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou would change this time, Cao Cao took the initiative to attack, led 20,000 Yanzhou troops, and raided the Yellow Turbans.
When the news came, Yanzhou officialdom was shaken, and many officials had to admit that they had indeed ignored this dwarf before, but they didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a terrible side in leading troops to fight.
The Yellow Turbans that flowed into Yanzhou could not bring enough threat to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's actions did not stop there, from the captured Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao selected the most elite soldiers, and formed a separate army, called the Qingzhou Army, with tens of thousands of people, for Cao Cao after entering Yanzhou, the formation of an army.
Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have strong combat effectiveness, and after being incorporated into the army, they don't need too much time to train at all, they just need to let them know some basic rules.
I have to say that Cao Cao has a lot of experience in appeasing people's hearts and recruiting soldiers, and he will pack up tens of thousands of Qingzhou yellow scarves in a short period of time.
However, in the middle of a month, this change in the situation in Yanzhou really shocked all parties, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that swept Yanzhou were defeated by Cao Cao in a battle, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to adopt the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans for his own use, and in this process of fighting against Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, maybe it could play a greater role.
If it is put in the time of Emperor Xiaoling, Cao Cao's actions, in exchange for the courtiers, in any case, the Yellow Turban is the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, seeing the Yellow Turban, the most important attitude should be to kill, if you are soft on the rebellious matter, wouldn't there be more people who become the remnants of the Yellow Turban.
But the current situation is too different, the majesty of the court is not there, the princes are fighting for their own interests, and if you want to survive in such a complex situation, you must have enough strength.
If Cao Cao was given enough time, he was confident that he would hold Yanzhou and do more.
Although the Yellow Turban of Yanzhou is not a threat in a short period of time, Ji Ling led the army, but directly took over Chen Liujun, Chen Liutaishou saw the arrival of Yuan Shu's army, and there was no intention of resisting at all, compared to Cao Cao, they were more optimistic about the Yuan family with the reputation of the fourth and third dukes.
Chen Liu took refuge, Yanzhou shook again, and Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead an army of 10,000 to Dingtao to block the approaching Yuan Shu army.
On this occasion, only Baima, Jibei, Dongping, Rencheng, Shanyang, and Jiyin were in the hands of Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and it is not known what kind of attitude the officials of other counties would have when the situation in Yanzhou was critical.
Once Yanzhou is in a crisis, anything can happen.
Yuan Shu is the powerful princes today, how to look, take refuge in Yuan Shu than follow behind Cao Cao will have a greater future, when Yuan Shu occupies Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and ordered the princes to attack Chang'an, the Son of Heaven back, they follow Yuan Shu's rear, that is, the Zhongxing ministers of the Han Dynasty, and no official will refuse to leave a name in history.
