Chapter 520: Cao Liu joins forces

"It turned out that Yuan Highway wanted to bring about his own destruction, why didn't the lord take the order of the Han family and launch a proclamation to send troops to fight. As soon as the Yuan Highway was removed, there would be no more forces in the south that could threaten the lord. ”

"I'm just afraid of his brother, Yuan Benchu won't sit idly by."

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly mentioned Yuan Shao, the giant of the north. However, Guo Jia seems to have no worries about comparison.

"Yuan Highway was originally a Hanchen, but he wanted to be the emperor. Although Yuan Benchu was his brother, he was also a Hanchen and held a high position in the court. If Yuan Benchu helped Yuan Highway, wouldn't he be called a nest of snakes and rats by the two brothers in the world, and the Yuan family would be a thief. With such a famous person in the world, who dares to respect the Yuan family of Runan?

What's more, Yuan Highway had borrowed grain from Yuan Shao in the early days of his conquest of Sun Jian. Yuan Shao was afraid that his brother would dominate in the south, so he deliberately did not borrow it. Therefore, Yuan Highway held a grudge against Yuan Benchu. The relationship between the two is tense, and they are peaceful on the surface, but they are fighting on the inside, and they don't want to be crushed by the other party's forces. Therefore, Jia thought that Yuan Benchu would never be willing to risk the world's condemnation and send troops to save Yuan Highway! ”

"Hmm. Feng Xiao's analysis is very reasonable. With Yuan Benchu's temperament, most of them will not send troops. ”

In fact, Cao Cao himself had already analyzed it in his heart, but he still wanted to listen to the opinions of his advisers. Guo Jia paused, then narrowed his eyes and said.

"Moreover, my lord, I think that this matter is controlled by a superior person. I once heard that Yuan Highway repeatedly funded huge amounts of food for elite soldiers to Sun Wentai, so that he could quell the Yangzhou rebellion. It can be seen that these two people were once incompatible, how could they suddenly become so close. As soon as Yuan Highway became emperor, Sun Wentai immediately sent a secret letter to persuade the lord to send troops to the south. If Jia's guess is correct, this master must be hidden under Sun Wentai. Moreover, this master has already arranged the battle situation. As long as the lord's army is killed, it will unite Liu Xuande's soldiers and horses to attack Yuan's army, while Sun Wentai's soldiers and horses will serve as a rear response. In this way, Yuan Highway will definitely fail! ”

"The funny thing is that Yuan Highway didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, and he dared to be the emperor at this time. It's really not a pity to die. Feng Xiao and Wen He seem to be the master behind Sun Wentai, and his wisdom is so high that he will never be inferior to you and the others. ”

"There are so many talented people in the world, how dare you ignore the talented people in the world if you don't know a little about small strategies."

Jia Xu gave up his hand, very modest. Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be aroused by Cao Cao's desire to fight against the master. Jia Xu and Guo Jia have very different personalities, and Jia Xu likes to hide, because only in this way can he live longer in this troubled world. And Guo Jia has a temperament

g Uninhibited, do whatever you want. Therefore, among the two, Cao Cao loves Guo Jia more.

Cao Cao saw the change in the expressions of the two of them, and then smiled loudly.

"Haha. I didn't expect this master to help me Cao Mengde. Yuan Shu had already fallen into death, and now he just waited for the butcher knife to fall and killed him. And the person who raised this butcher's knife is none other than me, Cao Mengde!

Someone, give me orders. Xiahoudun and Li Dian were ordered to be an army, Yu Ban and Lejin were in an army, each leading his troops and horses, and rushed to Yingchuan and Chenjun. Then order Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Cao Chun to integrate the soldiers, and I will lead them to Xuzhou Xiapi on a certain day! ”

Cao Cao drank in a condensed voice, and the soldiers who rushed to hear it, and hurriedly rushed to inform him. Cao Cao then turned to look at Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, you and Cheng Yu went out with the armies of Xiahoudun and Yu Ban respectively, and were responsible for the war in Nanyang and Runan."

Although Cao Cao didn't take Jia Xu with him, Jia Xu was not disappointed, did not change his voice, and bowed slightly.

"Subordinates receive orders."

"Wenhe, Yuan Rang has a violent temper, if you are reckless and reckless during the march, you can punish him heavily. There is no need to worry about his identity as my people. ”

Cao Cao has always had clear rewards and punishments, and never shielded him, even if he was like the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others, if they made a big mistake, Cao Cao would also punish him impartially.

"Huh. General Xiahou has been fighting with the lord for many years, and he has already changed his irascible temperament, but now he is calm and cautious, and he is quite talented. The lord doesn't need to worry about the war in Nanyang. I can guarantee that General Xiahou will be able to complete his mission. ”

Jia Xu smiled, Cao Cao also laughed when he heard it, Jia Xu Shao will open his mouth, if he dares to make a promise, he will naturally be completely sure.

And the reason why Jia Xu dared to make this guarantee was that he had been hidden for a long time, and it was time to show his edge. Otherwise, if it is obscure, it will definitely provoke Cao Cao's dislike. Second, Cao Cao used the three armies to conquer Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was too busy to take care of himself, and he would definitely concentrate all the generals who were good at fighting in Huainan. In this way, Nanyang has no strong generals to guard, and Jia Xu's army has the courage of Xiahou and the ability to command the army Li Dian as his deputy, Jia Xu naturally has the confidence to break through Nanyang.

"Haha, good! There is Wenhe in Nanyang, Zhongde in Runan, with the wisdom of your two talents, I can rest assured that I can deal with the war in Huainan. When Fengxiao arrives, I will rely on your genius and wisdom, don't want you and me to join forces, and slow Wenhe and Zhongde will be divided, then Cao will not know where to put his face. ”

Guo Jiaming's eyes lit up, and he smiled but did not answer. Although this is the case, Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was in a state of great excitement at this time, and from his eyes that constantly emitted fine light, he could know that Guo Jia's whole body was in an extremely excited state.

Cao Cao decided to raise troops to march south, and in the coming days, he went to the court to report to the Han Emperor, and Yuan Shu was called the emperor. When Yuan Shu said that he was the emperor, Cao Cao said, the entire court was almost shaken. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was furious and immediately reported to Cao Cao, ordering Cao Cao to raise troops to conscript. Cao Cao received the decree and chose to march to the three armies.

The first army was led by the Liewu general Xiahoudun and Hufen lieutenant Li Dian, with 20,000 soldiers. The army rushed to Yingchuan and attacked Nanyang. At the same time, Jia Xu was the military advisor of the army, assisting the army of Xiahoudun. The second army was, Yiwei and Yinglie, and 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Yu Ban and Lejin, gathered in Chen County and attacked Runan. Its Middle East minister Cheng Yu is the military division of the army. The third army was led by Cao Cao himself, accompanied by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Chun and other fierce generals, and Sima sacrificed wine Guo Jia as the military division of the army, raising 60,000 troops to rush to Xiapi and attack Huainan.

Cao Cao raised 100,000 troops, and the armies from all walks of life were swaying and murderous, according to the borders of Yuanshu's various jurisdictions. Not long after Yuan Shu became emperor, he was singing songs on the night of Shouchun and enjoying the life of the emperor. Suddenly, there was an urgent report from the soldiers, telling Yuan Shu that Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, raised 100,000 troops and invaded the borders of Nanyang, Runan, and Huainan. Yuan Shu was frightened, pushed away the palace concubine in his arms with both hands, and said angrily.

"Wow! Cao A's concealment that you dare to send troops to invade my territory! I will teach you that there is no place to die! ”

After Yuan Shu finished drinking, he ordered the soldiers to summon his subordinates to discuss the major matter of attacking the enemy. Half an hour later, Yuan Shu's subordinates heard that Cao Cao's soldiers were criminal, and they hurried over.

A group of civil and military gathered, Yuan Shu was above the court, and the ministers asked for advice. Lord Bo Yan Xiang took a step forward and admonished.

"Your Majesty, Cao is fierce. If we gather our forces, it will be difficult to resist. At that moment, he should first send an envoy to Xuzhou, and order Liu Xuande to send troops to block Cao Mengde's troops and horses in Xiapi. At the same time, he ordered Sun Wentai to lead the army back to help, gather the army, and then make a decision. ”

What Yan Aiqing said is reasonable. Come on, immediately send my edict to Liu Bei and Sun Jian! ”

Yuan Shu's face tightened, and then he thought that he still had a lot of hole cards, although Liu Bei's troops were small, but he had Pan Zhang Zhiyong under his command, and it should be no big problem to resist Cao Cao's army for half a month.

As for Sun Jian's side, I heard that his strength was 80,000 at this time, and as soon as Sun Jian's troops arrived, Yuan Shu would close his troops and horses, and he would be able to turn defense into attack and break Cao Cao's three-way army.

After that, Yuan Shu wrote the edict, ordered the envoy to whip quickly, and passed the edict to Liu Bei and Sun Jian as quickly as possible. Later, Yuan Shu ordered Li Feng and Le to lead 50,000 troops to Huainan to the border to resist Cao's army, and at the same time ordered him to pay attention to the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao and adapt to the situation.

However, it was said that Cao Cao led an army of 60,000 to Xiapi in a vigorous manner, and had already sent people to meet Liu Bei. As soon as Cao Cao arrived in Xiapi, Liu Bei had already led his troops to wait outside the city for a long time, and Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Liu Bei. Liu Bei led Pan Feng and Zhang Fei into the city to meet Cao Cao.

"Haha, Xuande hasn't seen him for a long time. Your demeanor is a little more prosperous than before, it seems that the position of Xuzhou Mu, you are sitting at will. ”

As soon as Liu Bei walked into the county hall, he heard a hearty laughter. Liu Bei's face froze, and he hurriedly bowed down.

"Xiaguan Liu Xuande, meet the prime minister!"

"Hey, excuses, excuses. Liu Xuzhou is a rebel thief, it can be said that he endures humiliation and burdens, and when the rebel thief is punished, I will tell the saint and reward Liu Xuzhou for you. ”

Cao Cao's kind words comforted, Liu Bei was grateful on the surface, but at this time he was sneering in his heart. Cao Cao has always had the intention of conspiring to capture Xuzhou, but he is afraid that as soon as Yuan Shu is eliminated, he will soon send troops to attack Guangling and the East China Sea.

Both of them were acting, and after the false love scene, Cao Cao finally got down to business.

"Liu Xuzhou, Yuan Highway didn't know that you had surrendered, and when he learned that I had raised a large army to conquer, he would definitely send you to send an army to block it. In this way, you and I might as well do a few good shows, confuse Yuan Highway, and give him a blow to the head! ”

Cao Cao's eyes were bright and clear, and his eyes seemed to emit an extremely vast light, which made people dare not look directly. Liu Bei lowered his head slightly, and then spoke.

"I don't know how to cooperate with Xuande in these good scenes? I wonder what this strategy is? ”

"You and I fought several battles, you pretended to be invincible, sent a letter for help, and when the reinforcements came, you acted as an internal response in his army, and my army was flanked before and after, and first destroyed Yuan Highway all the way to the army!"

Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, Cao Cao has always been uneasy and kind to him, if in these scenes, Cao Cao suddenly ordered the army to be strangled, then he would face a catastrophe.

"Brother, don't do it! Cao Mengde is extremely cunning, I am afraid that he will suddenly change his mind and kill his brother in the detailed battle! ”

Zhang Fei had a violent temperament, immediately glared at him, and shouted violently with a thunderous throat. Cao Cao's face turned dark in an instant, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him all stepped out, and Dian Wei was even more evil, and his voice was like a flood bell and shouted.

"Presumptuous! My lord is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, you are just a nobody, you dare to speak wildly, you are not ashamed, don't kneel down quickly to make amends, otherwise see how I unscrew your black head! ”
