"Lord, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the world will fight together, and we should also take this opportunity to send troops to Runan and attack Yuan Shu!"

Cao Xing looked at this letter after letter, he reluctantly threw all of them aside, which was written by You Fengyun, which was written by Fazheng, but everyone without exception expressed one meaning, that is, Yuan Shu dared to be the emperor, so let's attack him.

This is an era that attaches great importance to fame, Yuan Shu has no talent and no virtue, and he dares to rashly claim the emperor, which seems to have caused many people to be unhappy, so militants like Fa Zheng were the first to stand up and ask Cao Xing to send troops to Runan to attack Yuan Shu.

If it was just Fa Zheng, a militant who said this, it would have been fine, but the key was that he also pulled Fengyun, Chen Hu and others together, and everyone made it clear that they had one meaning.

Because the number of people is too much, Cao Xuan also convened the ministers to ask everyone's opinions, and Cao Xuan raised a very critical question.

The state where he was located did not border Yuan Shu's Runan, and if he wanted to go to Gulai, he would have to borrow it from Cao Cao's territory.

Maybe because of this incident, Cao Cao will also give Cao Cheng a convenience under pressure, but the key problem is that if Cao Xuan sends troops to attack Runan, even if Yuan Shu is destroyed, he will not be able to get anything good in the end, after all, Bingzhou and Runan do not border, and Cao Xuan cannot arrange his own territory there.

Cao sex is not a good man and a woman, that kind of thankless thing Cao sex will never do, this is a troubled world, it is a world of great contention, if Cao sex does not benefit himself, like Cao Cao Yuan Shao and others, they will also make profits for themselves, if they are strong, and Cao sex does not do anything, then the unlucky person will be Cao sex after all, this kind of loss-making business, Cao sex does not want to do it.

In the face of Cao Xing's question, everyone was a little silent, and finally agreed that if the place in Runan was defeated, perhaps the biggest opportunity was to insert Jinyi Wei into it, and it was basically impossible to conquer the city.

Originally, Cao Xuan thought that since everyone couldn't come up with a solution, then the matter should be stopped, but what he didn't expect was that Jia Xu, who had been silent, actually expressed his opinion at the last pass, and he only told Cao Xuan what he thought of the result, that is, he must send troops this time.

As for why, Jia Xu also gave a reason, which should be regarded as a show of force deterrence. Although this reason sounds a little far-fetched, Jia Xu also added again that this matter is a common response of the whole world, and Cao Xuan should not be the unsociable person, Cao Xuan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded to him.

As Fa Zheng expected, Cao Xing sent Fengyun to Yanzhou, which is equivalent to a diplomat this time, and there is only one purpose, asking Cao Cao to give Cao Xing a release, and Cao Xing will also lead troops to Runan, Cao Cao agreed when he heard this, and did not make any requests, just like that, in just half a month, Cao Xing set off from Shangtang with a large army.

Although it is a large army, if you count it carefully, you will find that Cao Xing actually did not bring many people this time, and the total number of troops is more than 10,000.

In this way, Cao Xuan took more than 10,000 people, traveled for half a month, crossed the territory of Yanzhou, and finally arrived in Runan.

However, it seems that there has been a fierce exchange of fire here in Runan, and Cao Xing and they are late.

Cao Xing first ordered his soldiers to set up camp, just arrived at night, Cao Xuan hurriedly summoned the final general, and Che Wu also hurriedly ran back from outside, Cao Xuan nodded, Che Wu also understood, immediately stood up, and told everyone the information he had collected in the past few days.

In this era of focusing on Confucian legislation, it is a big thing to call the king and the emperor, and Yuan Shu is immoral and incompetent, so he dares to be the emperor rashly. This has violated the taboo of the world, and people all over the world jointly denounce Yuan Shu.

For example, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yao of Jiangdong, Liu Yu of Jizhou and others all felt disdain for Yuan Shu's approach, although these people are relatives of the Han family, but powerful people just play two slogans casually, and will never send troops easily, just like Liu Biao in Jingzhou, those who want to restore the Han Dynasty. He has no soldiers and no power, so he can't come here to help in the end.

As a result, in the end, there were only a few people who really attacked Yuan Shu, except for Cao Xing's army. There is also Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou after all, and it is relatively close to Runan. So he took the lead with a large army and launched a fierce attack on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu also sent his general Ji Ling to lead troops to meet Cao Cao, the two sides have been fighting for several days, and they have won and lost each other, but in general, Cao Cao's side still has a great advantage.

It's just because although the place in Runan is full of soldiers, but under Yuan Shu's governance, it is getting worse and worse day by day, after all, although Yuan Shu has a great reputation, but his ability to govern the country is far from good, and he only knows that he constantly scrapes the people's fat and ointment for his enjoyment.

Therefore, Yuan Shu's comprehensive strength is of course not strong, and it is reasonable to retreat one after another.

In addition to Cao Cao, Tao Qian of Xuzhou has also sent troops.

When he heard the news, Cao Xing's heart was still a little surprised, Tao Qian gave Cao Xing's impression in history, Tao Qian did not seem to be a tough prince, and he didn't like war, just last year, Cao Cao's father died on Tao Qian's territory, Cao Cao made a big move for this, and directly led troops to attack.

Although in the end, Cao Cao still had no one to conquer the territory of Xuzhou, but Cao Cao killed more than 100,000 people in Xuzhou at one time. This incident also made Tao Qian frightened, and he spent every day in sincere fear, it is said that it was because of Cao Cao's incident that Tao Qian fell ill.

So now Tao Qian's body should be the kind that is not as good as day by day, at that critical period, he was still in the mood to send troops to fight Yuan Shu, which seemed to be a little unusual, Cao Xing asked again and again, and finally knew what was going on.

It is said that Tao Qian didn't want to get involved in this matter.

But some of his subordinates repeatedly suggested, and in the end, Tao Qian nodded in agreement and the person who suggested him was called Liu Bei.

I remember that a few years ago, Cao Xing disturbed Yuan Shao's rear in Jizhou, and met Liu Bei unexpectedly, although Liu Bei did not directly attack Cao Xing, but he still cooperated with Yuan Shao and gave Cao Xing a hand.

Cao Xing attacked Liu Bei's Pingyuan County, Liu Bei fled in a hurry, and as a result, Liu Bei fled to the territory of Xuzhou. Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei, although his skills were mediocre, but his two brothers had the courage to be unstoppable, and finally nodded and accepted Liu Bei, but Tao Qian did not give Liu Bei much power, but just gave him the position of an ordinary general for him to play.

However, when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou in a big way, Liu Bei stepped forward, although he did not defeat Cao Cao, but still dragged Cao Cao's march forward, coupled with all kinds of public opinion pressure, Cao Cao finally retreated.

So since the end of that battle, Liu Bei's position in Tao Qian's army has begun to rise, soaring all the way, at least have a certain right to speak, this time to attack Yuan Shu, is also Liu Bei's suggestion.

Even Tao Qian didn't want to get involved in this matter, but under Liu Bei's repeated persuasion, he finally agreed to send troops, so Liu Bei also launched an attack on Yuan Shu from the east.

However, it is said that when Liu Bei attacked, because of the lack of troops, he was defeated by Yuan Shu, and finally he could only go all the way west to join forces with Cao Cao, preparing to attack Yuan Shu in one fell swoop, this is all the information, Cao Xuan nodded after listening, although Liu Bei's hand seems to be nothing wrong, after all, he Liu Bei also considers himself a clan relative of the Han family, and now he has military power in hand, and it seems that there is no difference between sending troops to fight against the traitor, but Cao Xuan can only smile at this.

Liu Bei led the troops to the expedition this time, and it is estimated that his prestige in the army will increase again. After all, Cao Xuan knows, Yuan Shu was beaten quite badly this time, that is to say, no matter how Liu Bei is, he is also the winner, and his prestige in the army will definitely increase after he goes back, Cao Xuan has to sigh in his heart, this Uncle Liu Huang is ready to come out to do things again.

The rest was Sun Jian, who attacked from the south, Sun Jian was originally Yuan Shu's subordinate, but the two of them were at odds, which was already well known.

Since the death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian returned to Jiangdong and gradually started his own team, calling himself Wu Jun Taishou, Sun Jian's self-styled behavior caused the dissatisfaction of his old boss Yuan Shu, but what if Yuan Shu was dissatisfied? At that time, Yuan Shu didn't care about this matter, Yuan Shu was just busy claiming the emperor.

As a result, he had just been proclaimed emperor, Sun Jian said that Yuan Shu was a big rebellion, and he wanted to completely sever relations with Yuan Shu, from today onwards, he and Yuan Shu were no longer superiors and subordinates, but antagonistic relations, and then Sun Jian directly sent troops to attack north along the waterway.

It is said that Sun Jian's water battle was also quite fierce, and the battle with Yuan Shu was a great advance along the way, and now he has landed on the shore.

However, after landing, Sun Jian did not continue to rampage forward like a fierce tiger, but chose to take a detour, and the direction in which he walked seemed to be Cao Cao's direction, Sun Jian was not stupid, he was now regarded as a separatist all the way.

Instead of fighting alone and fighting to the death with Yuan Shu, it is better to get close to Cao Cao, attack together, and divide the territory together after winning.

In the end, with Cao Xing, there were only four princes who attacked Yuan Shu, as for Yuan Shao in Jizhou, he must have been dissatisfied with his younger brother Yuan Shu's title of emperor, but at the critical moment, he still recalled that he and Yuan Shu were brothers after all.

Now Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor has caused dissatisfaction among many forces, and the four princes are besieging together, if he goes to intervene again, it is estimated that Yuan Shu really has no place to be buried, so he did not send troops in the end.

After collecting this information, Cao Xuan pondered for a while, summarized everyone's decisions, and finally decided that he Cao Xuan would not be unconventional, since everyone was moving closer to Cao Cao's side, then he Cao Xing must also move closer to Cao Cao's side.

Therefore, Cao Xing led the generals to look at the sand table map, find out Cao Cao's location, and converge in the direction of Cao Cao in disguise.

Almost three days later, Cao Xing and the others walked to a relatively large county town, which relied on Shouchun City, that is, Yuan Shu's governing place.

But this sentence of the county town has now been completely occupied by Cao Cao, which indirectly illustrates a problem, Cao Cao is indeed very powerful. He fought with Yuan Shu, and it was Yuan Shu who suffered anyway. Now Yuan Shu's territory is shrinking sharply, and he Cao Cao is calm all the way, which is the best proof.

However, when Cao Xing came here, he met not only Cao Cao, but also Sun Jian and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao warmly received everyone that day, and held a banquet, so that Sun Jian, Liu Bei and Cao Xing all gathered together, Cao Cao enthusiastically said the opening remarks first, probably the four of them, all of them are loyal ministers who are dedicated to Han, and this time they are all gathered here, and they all have a common ambition and a common purpose, that is, to eliminate Yuan Shu, a chaotic thief, so the four of them should work together.

For these words, many people immediately agreed, and Cao Xing also echoed it, after all, these things on the scene still have to be maintained.

Next, Cao Cao began to ask everyone what strategy they had to do to break the enemy? Everyone made their own remarks, first of all, Liu Bei stood up and said, they have the princes of the Quartet, and they can adopt the method of encircling Yuan Shu on three sides to force Yuan Shu into a corner, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of minutes to destroy Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian also said that the most important thing brought this time was the boat, Yuan Shu's men and horses, there were northerners and southerners, but in general, the number of southerners was still less than that of northerners, so most of Yuan Shu's soldiers did not understand water, and if it was a battle on the river, he was sure that he would win or lose a battle.

It was Fa Zheng who was speaking on Cao Xing's side, and Fa Zheng was talking eloquently at the banquet. The strategy of issuing the certificate is to cut off its grain and grass, and Yuan Jun can break it.

Although Runan is a rich place, but then again, under Yuan Shao's governance, Yuan Shu only knows about expropriation and expropriation, but does not understand development, so if it seems prosperous on the surface, in fact, the interior has been decayed, as long as everyone works together to make it difficult to transport his grain and grass, in this way, the difficulty of defeating Yuan Shu will be much reduced.

Listening to Fa Zheng's suggestion, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, but he quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded, and the drama next to him saw this, and he also stood up with a warm face.

Xi Zhicai also forgot about Fa Zheng with his burning gaze, and then accepted it, and after he went back, he said his suggestion, in fact, what Xi Zhicai said can be said to be the comprehensive suggestion of Fa Zheng and the three of them.

The approximate meaning is that it is surrounded on both sides, surrounded on both sides, Sun Jian is controlled in the Yangtze River, and then cut off its grain and grass.

When Xi Zhicai said this, Cao Cao immediately stood up and applauded.
