Chapter 277

"It seems that Yuan Shao and they have also received the news!" Cao Cao took the letter from Xi Zhicai's hand and said.

Xi Zhicai also nodded in agreement.

After all, Yuan Shao didn't send someone to deliver the letter early, and he didn't come late, but when he received that Qin Yin had mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the land of Yizhou, he sent someone to deliver the letter.

You can know that it is for what happened in Chang'an City.

If the guess is correct, Yuan Shao must have sent letters to all the princes here, and there is only one thing to do - Shouchun City.

When Xi Zhicai was thinking about things.

Cao Cao also opened the letter in his hand and looked at it.

For a while.

I read the contents of the letter.

Cao Cao shook the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that Yuan Benchu was in a hurry, and invited me to discuss the ownership of Shouchun City. ”

"Lord, this is not a strange thing, Yuan Shao does not occupy any advantage here, and there is a Yanzhou interval, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him, if the army runs out of food, Yuan Shao may be a problem if he wants to return to Jizhou!" Xi Zhicai analyzed.

To know.

Yuan Shao wanted to return to Jizhou, either through Yanzhou, or through Xuzhou, and then enter Qingzhou, and then return to Jizhou.

If Yuan Shao maintains a strong position, it is fine, but if he has a weak performance, it is difficult to say.

Come to think of it.

continued: "What does the lord think about this, do you want to go?" ”

"Go, why not! I want to see what Yuan Shao has to say, but I still need to make some preparations. Cao Cao said seriously.

Because of the fact that Qin Yin led the army to the land of Yizhou, then there will definitely be changes on their side, and some arrangements need to be made in case of accidents.

If Qin Yin hadn't moved.

On their side, they may still be at a stalemate for a while, waiting for all parties to have corresponding countermeasures, and then they will take action, but now they can't do it, and they can't continue to wait.

"Since the lord has decided to go, let General Xiahou take the escort team to accompany the lord to go, and his subordinates will arrange for someone to go to pick him up!" Xi Zhicai gave up.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's very good!" ”

With the drama to arrange these things, he didn't think there would be any problems, and in the letter, there was no problem with the meeting place chosen by Yuan Shao.

There is nothing special about it.

Besides, in such a situation, no one would want to make any small moves, otherwise, it would cause a siege.

"But what does the lord want to do?" Xi Zhicai asked.

He knew that after the princes gathered and discussed near Shouchun City this time, there would definitely be some arrangements, and it would also decide the affairs of Shouchun City, so there would be a decision.

This still requires Cao Cao to take the idea.

Hear the words.

Cao Cao also knew what Xi Zhicai wanted to ask, touched the beard on his chin, and said, "If you think about Zhicai, you should already have an idea, so let's arrange it according to what Zhicai thinks!" ”

After knowing the affairs of Chang'an City, he had already made a decision in his heart, and he felt that Xi Zhicai's thoughts would not be any different from his.

"No!" Xi Zhicai gave up.

He didn't say much about what arrangements he had, Cao Cao handed over the matter to him, and he would not let Cao Cao down.

"In this way, the situation of the camp will be handed over to Zhicai, you will be in charge, and I will go to meet Yuan Benchu and them for a while!" Cao Cao laughed.

"Subordinates will not live up to the trust!"

Xi Zhicai gave up.

Forthwith.

Cao Cao was dressed in a military uniform with a long sword hanging from his waist, and then took Xiahou Yuan and three hundred guards to leave the camp and head towards the meeting place selected by Yuan Shao.

Xi Zhicai stayed in the camp and coordinated the overall situation.

......

I don't know what Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Cai Mao, who was sent by Liu Biao to lead the army, gathered to discuss something.

Nothing happened during this time.

But after each of them left, they returned to their respective camps.

Cao Cao led the army backwards, leaving the boundaries of Shouchun City without any hesitation; Similarly, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei also did the same, directly leading the army to retreat.

The three parties did not continue to besiege Shouchun City, obviously because of this gathering, they abandoned Shouchun City.

Now surrounded outside Shouchun City, only Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and the Jingzhou army are left.

Neither of these parties is ready to give up Shouchun City.

However, no matter whether the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, or the Jingzhou army finally won the victory, it has nothing to do with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, after all, they have all led the army to retreat and no longer continue to stalemate outside Shouchun City.

Only Sun Ce and Liu Biao's soldiers and horses were left.

As for what was discussed during the assembly, only they knew best.

When Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei led the army to retreat.

Yuan Shao passed directly through Yanzhou and rushed back to Jizhou, and Cao Cao did not make any moves against Yuan Shao, even if he had ideas, it was not easy to implement.

After all, Yuan Shao now has soldiers and food, and he has ideas, but he can't get any benefits.

However, when Cao Cao withdrew to Yanzhou, he captured Yingchuan County, Liang Guo and other places, and occupied a piece of territory in Yuzhou.

Liu Bei did not rush back to Youzhou, but occupied Lu County in Yuzhou, obviously not planning to return to Youzhou, but preparing to stay in Lu County.

You must know that Liu Bei served as the prime minister of the plains, but he belonged to the rule of Gongsun Zhan.

Although Gongsun Chan is very good to Liu Bei, with the increase of power and the change of the general trend of the world, how can Liu Bei be willing to continue to stay under Gongsun Chan, and this time is a good opportunity, and he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

There was no hesitation.

Liu Bei directly led the soldiers and horses and occupied Lu County.

After all, most of the land of Yuzhou was Yuan Shu's territory, but now that Yuan Shu's forces have all shrunk into Shouchun City, these lands are empty, and there is no need to have any battles to be able to take these territories.

Moreover, even in Shouchun City, there are not many soldiers and horses, only more than 20,000 people.

If it weren't for the fact that these princes were scruples about each other, they would have already taken Shouchun City, and the remnants of Yuan Shujun's sin would have been left in Shouchun City.

Because of a deliberation.

The situation in the land of Shouchun has also changed in an instant, and there have been great changes.

The situation here was also spread by some detectives.
