Chapter 97: A Precursor to the Coming Great War

Everyone looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said: "Prime Minister." Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were defeated, there were still more than 100,000 garrisons in Qing and the two states. The prime minister can send people to form an alliance with them and give them some benefits, such as naming them the general of Qingzhou and the general of Bingzhou. Ask them to attack Jizhou again, threaten Yuan Xi's flanks, and create opportunities for our army. ”

"Zhang Yan of Taihang Mountain has always wanted to look for opportunities to plunder the prefectures of Hebei, but it was only because Yuan Shang's army occupied the key points that he did not dare to act rashly. The prime minister can send someone to coordinate and let Yuan Shang evacuate Yaojin, so that Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army can enter Youzhou and plunder Zhongshan and Zhuo County. Disrupt Yuan Xi's rear and cut off his grain route. ”

"In the name of the Son of Heaven, Jin named Yuan Xi as a hussar general and awarded the Marquis of Yecheng, so that he could relax his vigilance..."

At the same time, the prime minister led an army of 200,000 to defeat Liyang's Jizhou army with a thunderous momentum and reached Yecheng. In this way, Yuan Xi will face a crusade of nearly 500,000 troops, internal and external troubles, how can he not be defeated? ”

"Good strategy..." The generals were full of confidence.

"Reconsideration."

Cheng Yu and Xun You also said.

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a clever plan!" ”

"Before the soldiers come out, the enemy territory is chaotic. No matter how shrewd Yuan Xi is, he will take care of one and lose the other.... ”

"Prime Minister, you should quickly give the battle order. The soldiers couldn't wait. The one-eyed Xiahoudun said excitedly.

"Hmm."

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Listen to orders." ”

All of them are in good shape.

Cao Cao said: "I ordered Guo Jia to write an article against thieves and announce it to the world." Cheng Yu wrote an edict rewarding Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang, and sent it to Xuchang overnight, and sent it back after the seal. Then quickly sent to Hebei. ”

He ordered Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to be the vanguard of the left and right, leading 30,000 cavalry to raid the Jizhou army in Liyang. Cao Ren is the main general, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are the deputy generals, and the whole army of 170,000 is on standby.... ”

After a series of orders were given, everyone responded excitedly: "No (obey)." ”

Jizhou.

Yecheng.

After the funeral.

Yuan Xi took off his mourning clothes, gathered his thoughts, and began to deal with government affairs.

The situation in Jizhou is more complicated than he imagined. When he helped Yuan Shao deal with government affairs last year, he realized it. Not to mention that the families controlled most of the land, which reduced the income of the government.

Yuan Shao's management of internal affairs and military affairs was also extremely lax.

The soldiers and horses of each county were under the control of the Taishou, and there was a lack of unified training.

For the three states of Qing, Merge, and Youzhou, it is a state of free-range, which makes the strength of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang gradually become stronger, ambitious, and openly and secretly fighting, so that there is a civil war in Hebei.

Now that he is in charge of Hebei, he has to make drastic measures and rectify it well.

But....

Before he remediates Hebei, he has more important things to do.

That is to quickly increase their military strength, stabilize the regime, and guard against Cao Cao's attack in Yanzhou. Don't work hard to capture Jizhou, and then be taken away by Cao Cao, that is really going to be laughed at by people.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Once Jizhou loses, its prestige plummets.

Yuan Xi would never allow such a thing to happen.

"My lord, the generals are here." A guard came to report.

"Let them in."

"No."

After the guards withdrew.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, Yu Ban, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, etc., came to the study.

Yuan Xi invited them to sit down and said, "I invite you to come here to discuss the reorganization of the army. General Zhangjaw, I asked you to count the armies, can you count them? ”

"It's been counted."

Zhang Jaw took out a piece of Xi paper and handed it to Yuan Xi's hand.

"There are 6,000 Jizhou troops in Yecheng, 24,000 Youzhou troops, and 57,000 prisoners.... Yuan Xi looked at it from beginning to end and smiled: "Very good." I have ordered the troops of all the counties of Jizhou to be assembled in the eastern part of the plain and the southern part of Wei County. If Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are unwilling to fail and make a comeback, they will block it head-on. ”

"General Yu."

"Yes." Yu Ban stood up.

Yuan Xi said: "The soldiers and horses under your command have suffered the most serious losses. I went to the barracks yesterday to see it, and almost all of them were wounded. You have to be appeased and rewarded, and you don't have to train for nearly a month. ”

"No." Yu Ban answered and sat down.

"Liyang's garrison, commanded by General Gao Lan, will go to take office on the same day." Yuan Xidao.

"No." Gao Yan answered.

The rest of the Jizhou army and prisoners were unified and reorganized, led by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, and Ju Yi. All the equipment and equipment in Yecheng are up to you to choose. You must restore their morale and form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time. Yuan Xi said.

"No..."

The people who were named replied.

With Yuan Xi's words, the status of the generals in Jizhou is clearly divided. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, Yu Ban, Gao Lan, and Ju Yi can be regarded as generals with military power. The others are all lieutenants and lieutenants, and their power is a little shorter.

Although there was some disappointment.

But look at the qualifications of these highly valued generals? In addition to Yu Ban, who came from Youzhou, he still commanded the Youzhou army. The other people in power are all famous generals who have been in Hebei for many years.

Who would dare to compete with them?

Vertical day.

Sunshine and Hee.

Cao Cao's envoy Xun Yun came to Yecheng and read out the edict of the Son of Heaven.

"Edict: When I heard Yuan Shaoxu, the general of Jizhou, my heart was very painful. However, Jizhou cannot be left without an owner for a day, and Yuan Xi, the son of Yuan Shao, is specially named the history of Jizhou, leading the hussar general and the Marquis of Yecheng. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xi took the edict.

Xun Yun smiled slightly: "Congratulations to Gongzi Xi, the leader of the hussar general." ”

"Mr. Xun is polite, please worship tea in the house?" Yuan Xipi replied with a smile on his face.

"No, I still have to rush back to Xudu. I hereby take my leave. ”

Xun Yun was about to leave.

Yuan Xi's eyes rolled a few times, and he stepped forward and said: "Mr. Xun, please tell Prime Minister Cao Cheng, I accept his affection, and hope that our relationship will get better and better in the future, and there will be no more wars." ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

sent Xun Yun away.

Yuan Xi immediately summoned the civil and military forces under his command and publicized the edict to the public: "This is sent by Cao Cao, do you know what this means?" ”

"Cao Cao is showing weakness to us?" Guo Tudao.

"It's just a favor, I want to reconcile with the lord..." Tian Feng said.

"Our Jizhou has just been pacified, and the soldiers are trapped and the people are lacking, so it takes a period of time to recuperate. If Cao Cao intends to repair, he might as well send someone to negotiate peace with him and rest for a few years... He was only halfway through his words when Yuan Xi interrupted him: "Mr. Fu, even you think that Cao Cao is sincerely courting me?" ”

"That'..... What does the lord mean? The crowd frowned.

Yuan Xi threw away the edict and snorted, "Do you remember what Cao Cao did before the Battle of Guandu? In the name of the Son of Heaven, he crowned his father as a hussar general, what was the result? ”

This is his usual trick, first to show the enemy weak, and then to attack quickly. As soon as this edict came, it showed that he was already preparing for war, and he would attack my Liyang for half a month or a few days at least! ”

"General Gao Ran."

"Yes." High view out of the list.

Yuan Xi looked solemn and anxious and said: "You go to work immediately, don't delay for a moment, beware of Cao Jun's attack." ”
