In the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's biggest enemy in the north, Yuan Shao, died of illness after quelling the Jizhou rebellion, and Cao Cao, who was extremely sensitive to the war situation, immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

As soon as Yuan Shao died, the Yuan group immediately fell into civil strife.

Yuan Shao's biggest failure was that he made a major mistake on the issue of succession.

Yuan Shao has three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the middle son Yuan Xi, and the youngest son Yuan Shang.

According to the ancient etiquette, you should grow up, but Yuan Shao likes his youngest son Yuan Shang, because Yuan Shang is a talent, very beautiful, and very similar to himself.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, good-looking was very cheap, so Yuan Shao thought that the successor of the handsome guy should be the handsome guy.

So he has always taken a fancy to Yuan Shang and took Yuan Shang with him, but he divided his Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou to his three sons, but the successor was uncertain...

As the so-called rabbit goes, 10,000 people chase it, one person gets it, and the rest is stopped. That is to say, if a rabbit comes to a crossroads, everyone will go to grab it, and if one person gets it, everyone will settle down. Yuan Shao arranged it like this, it's good to have him, but once he is gone, these three people will definitely have infighting...

The last time Cao Cao conquered Jizhou, the Yuan clan united to resist and let Cao Cao return in vain, because Yuan Shao was still there, and now that Yuan Shao is dead, the Yuan group is in danger, as shrewd as Cao Cao, of course he will realize this great opportunity...

So on this day, Cao Cao gathered the soldiers in the big tent of the Chinese army and arranged the action...

Strategists, generals stood in line, looking at Cao Cao respectfully, among them there was Xu Chu in the ranks, as early as a few days ago when the news of Yuan Shao's death came. Xu Chu was immediately reinstated by the official and returned to the army...

Cao Cao looked at everyone and smiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Yuan Shao is dead, there will inevitably be a power vacuum in the Yuan Group, and his three little cubs must be busy fighting for power and profit, this is our best opportunity, this time, I want to completely eliminate the Yuan Group and unify the northern !!"

Everyone agreed.

"Xu Chu!"

"The Last Admiral!!"

"This time, you will take 50,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard and go to the front line in Jizhou!!"

"The last general obeys!!"

"Zhang He! You are Yuan Shao's old department, you are very familiar with the terrain of Jizhou, Yuan's subordinates, you are the deputy general of the three armies, assist Xu Chu, and go to Jizhou! ”

"The last general obeys!!"

"After you go back, perform your duties, gather troops to rest, prepare food, grass, baggage, weapons and equipment, and wait for my orders!"

"No!!"

"Xun Yu, Zhang He stays, you guys go!"

Everyone bent down and clenched their fists and retreated. Only Xun Yu and Zhang He were left in the tent.

Cao Cao looked at Zhang He and said with a little seriousness:

"This time I sent you to assist Xu Chu, because although Xu Chu is brave, but he is easy to be impulsive when encountering problems, after the last incident, he is earnest, so you should be calm, take a good look at him, and wait for the army to come, in addition, if you are undecided, you can go to the military advisor Xu Tian!"

Zhang He nodded yes!! Got out of here.

"Xun Yu, what do you think of such an arrangement?!"

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with a smile.

"The prime minister sent Xu Chu to be the chief general of the three armies and the vanguard army, with Xu Chu's temperament, he will inevitably fight a battle with Jizhou, and Zhang He will definitely not be able to stop it. If they unite again, now without Yuan Shao, the contradiction will definitely intensify, and it will disintegrate and weaken their strength more quickly, if they don't save each other, the prime minister will take the opportunity to take Jizhou!! ”

Xun Yu touched his beard and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"That's just one of them!"

"The second of the prime minister is that Xu Tian, this person has an unusual view of the battle situation, often before the war starts, he will know the ending, the prime minister let him go with the army this time, is he trying to test whether he is lucky, or really capable. If there is, reuse it, if not, then..."

Cao Cao laughed. looked at Xun Yu with satisfaction.

"I have a courtier like you, why worry about the immortality of the Yuan clan!!"

Xun Yu bowed, and the two looked at each other again and smiled.

Xu Chu returned to the barracks, immediately went to find Xu Tian, and took Xu Tian, who was talking with the sergeant and discussing weapons, and brought him to the tent.

The two sat down, and Xu Chu laughed.

"Sure enough, as Mr. said, the prime minister made me the chief general of the three armed forces, hahahaha... The horses of these months have not been fed in vain! ”

Xu Tianyi rolled his eyelids and said lazily:

"The general is pulling me here in a hurry for this?! The general's ability, the prime minister naturally understands. It is not unusual for a general to be the chief general of the three armies! ”

Xu Chu was very happy when he heard this, and the more he looked at this Xu Tian, the more pleasing it became.

"The prime minister can say, this expedition. I want to be accompanied by Mr. Hehe, with the help of Mr. Why don't I make great contributions, sir, rest assured, I Xu Chu is not an ungrateful person, with merit, I will not treat Mr. badly! ”

Xu Tianyi bowed and promised.

This result, in Xu Tian's expectation, although he had already thought about it, this may be his best opportunity, but when it came to the end, he was still a little nervous, and he was a little scared, after all, the real war is real, not as simple as talking and debating, but in any case, he has to fight, these days of tempering, although his martial arts are not good, but the general self-preservation is more than enough, the military books he has read these days, plus the historical knowledge accumulated in his mind in the previous days, should be sure!!

Xu Tian looked at the gradually darkening sky, before he came here, he was mediocre and cowardly, he had no courage, and he had to get by, and now, here, in this era, he finally has the opportunity to get ahead and change himself, this time, he must do it beautifully!! Xu Tian clenched his fists!!
