Chapter 186: Cao Cao Dispatches Troops
Xuchang, Cao Cao met with the "angel" Kong Rong, in fact, Yuan Shu said that the emperor's court did not issue an edict Cao Cao would also go to ask for a decree, one is that Yuan Shu is the emperor, Cao Cao is still very affectionate to the Han family, so Cao Cao must fight, the second is that Cao Cao Yuan Shu is hostile, sooner or later he will attack, and now Yuan Shu is called the emperor just to give a legitimate opportunity.
Cao Cao said: Yuan Shu is a traitor, and he dares to call the emperor a monarch and a father, and he is ashamed of his ancestors. it alive. It's just that I don't know what arrangements the imperial court has made?
His Majesty has issued an edict ordering Zhang Jie in Hebei, Yuan Shao in Xuzhou, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou to jointly send troops to attack Yuan Shu. Kong Rong said!
It is so good, Cao will send troops soon, please rest assured, Cao Shi has received the favor of the Han family, and will return to the court to exterminate the Yuan Shu traitor.
Cao Cao said righteously.
After Kong Rong went down, Cao Cao called all the military advisors under his tent to discuss it together.
Now Yuan Shu said that the emperor has no father and no king, I should lead the army to exterminate Yuan Shu, you talk about how to send troops?
Xun Yu is the most loyal to the Han family, so he took the lead: Yuan Shu went against the sky, and the lord should lead the army to unite all the candidates to attack Yuan Shu. First take Runan, and then enter Huainan. Although Yuan Shu has a lot of soldiers, most of the soldiers are captured strong men, and they have not known battle for a long time, and Runan is not the key place for Yuan Shu to guard, so he thought that Runan could fight in a battle.
Cao Cao nodded and said: What Wen Ruo said is reasonable. How much troops should be sent to attack Yuan Shu this time?
Xun Yu said: Yuan Shu said that the emperor was the first of us, and we acted in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, so Yuan Shao, Zhang Jie, and Liu Biao should not attack us at this time, and Yu thought that he could send 50,000 troops.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: What do you think Wen Ruo said?
Cheng Yudao: To send 50,000 troops, troops must be drawn from all over Yanzhou to come to Xuchang. Zhang Jie: I'm not worried, I'm worried about Yuan Shao.
In any case, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu's half-brother, even if Yuan Shao will break with Yuan Shu in the face of righteousness. But it is difficult to guarantee that he sent troops to Huainan in a perfunctory manner. On the one hand, taking advantage of the emptiness in our rear, we sent troops from Qingzhou to attack Yanzhou. And Liu Biao has no enterprising spirit, on the surface he will send troops, but in fact, it is difficult to really exterminate Yuan Shu.
At most, we will fight a good fight, so let's not have too much hope for Liu Biao.
And Zhang Jie, who is far away in Hebei, is impossible to send heavy troops to Huainan. Even if you send troops at most, you will make a show. Work is not contributive. He actually hopes that we and Yuan Shu will fight to lose both. It's in his interest.
Cao Cao nodded and said: In this way, Yuan let the troops left behind in Dongjun and other places not move, and draw a force from Nanyang to Runan. Regardless of him Yuan Shao or Liu Biao, if he can't make a contribution, he will also exterminate Yuan Shu. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
The people did not speak.
Bonghyo, what is your opinion? Cao Cao asked.
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's roll call and said: If Zhang Jie sends someone to lead troops to Huainan and wants to pass through Yanzhou, will the lord borrow the road?
Cao Cao said: Won't Zhang Jie take the road of Luoyang and Nanyang?
Guo Jia said with a smile: With Zhang Jie's shrewdness, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to understand the situation in Yanzhou and be familiar with the road?
Cao Cao said, then we will designate him to pass Luoyang and Nanyang.
Guo Jia said with a smile: In this way, Zhang Jie will say that Nanyang has many yellow turbans, and his military advisor was ambushed last time, so Zhang Jie will not agree to take this road. and will say that the lord designated this road for him to take, which is an ulterior motive.
Cao Cao really hadn't thought about this. Dao: Then why don't we borrow the Tao?
Then Zhang Jie will tell the people of the world that the lord is not, and he will say that the lord will not give way, and his soldiers and horses will not be able to go to Huainan. He would have an excuse not to send troops altogether. Anyway, it wouldn't be good for Zhang Jie to exterminate Yuan Shu? And it is possible to say to the court that the lord is not.
Cao Cao was also a little big-headed, and said: What should I do then? We can't let him put the pot on our heads.
Xun Yu was bent on suppressing the thief, and said: The lord can lend the road to Zhang Jie, but he must send someone to follow him throughout the whole process, and Zhang Jie's soldiers are strictly forbidden to enter the city and not to harass the people.
What does Feng Xiao think Wen Ruo said? Cao Cao asked.
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: It can only be like this, in fact, all parties have their own intelligence networks. Many things, even if Zhang Jie is not allowed to cross the border, the other party is also very clear. Let Zhang Jie's people cross the border, and they are also familiar with the road at most. Nothing else, it doesn't make much of a difference.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's it." But be sure to keep a close watch all the way.
Xuzhou, the state pastor's mansion, Yuan Shao also met with Yang Biao. Yang Biao, the lieutenant, wants to be the Minister of Defense in the future. It is also a kind of sadness to be able to only be a messenger of the decree, and the work of the peaceful and prosperous times is generally done by eunuchs.
Yang Biao said: At the beginning, Yuan Highway went against the sky, claiming to be the emperor in vain, without a father and a king, I hope that the original should distinguish the form. Thou shalt not be with him. The Son of Heaven Shengming, Yuan Highway is the emperor, His Majesty did not blame the Yuan clan, only hoped that Ben Chu could understand the righteousness and send troops to destroy Yuan Shu. Your Majesty has high hopes for you!
Yuan Shao nodded and said: Wen Xiangong, please rest assured, Shao received the kindness of the first emperor and should repay him. I don't know if I don't know before I call the emperor on the highway, otherwise I will definitely discourage it. However, since the highway is called the emperor, this is a big rebellion, Shao, as the head of the Yuan family, should clean up the portal. I also asked Wen Xiangong to say a few good words in front of His Majesty.
Yang Biao saw that Yuan Shao was still generally knowledgeable, and he could be regarded as giving face to the court. He said: Don't worry, Your Majesty didn't blame you, and please send troops as soon as possible.
After Yang Biao left, Yuan Shao called everyone to start discussing, in fact, this matter had already been discussed, but he had not made up his mind, which could be regarded as a wait-and-see.
Yuan Shaodao: The imperial court sent Captain Yang Biao to Xuzhou to urge me to send troops to attack Huainan, what should you do?
Guo Tudao: I thought we had to fight, although Yuan Shu and the lord were brothers, but he suddenly became the emperor, where did this cause the lord? Could it be that when the lord sees him in the future, he will have to perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister?
Besides, now that Yuan Shu only occupies Huainan, he dares to be the emperor without even a state, which is too self-sufficient, right?
And if the lord doesn't attack, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Zhang Jie will also attack, and it is difficult to beat the three alliances with Yuan Shu's strength. At that time, if Huainan lets Cao Cao occupy us, we will lose a lot.
Chen Lin said: Not really, Yuan Shu has 200,000 troops, and his subordinates Liu Xun, Ji Ling, and Zhang Xun are also famous generals. It's a defensive operation again, how many troops can Cao Cao have to attack Huainan? Moreover, Yuan Shu got nearly 10,000 war horses from Zhang Jie.
So I'm not optimistic that Cao Cao can quickly defeat Yuan Shu
Lin thought that the lord's current enemy was Cao Cao, not Yuan Shu, and even if he sent troops, he should only send a small number of soldiers and horses.
Yuan Shao still has a little brotherly affection in his heart, but Yuan Shu called the emperor this time and made Yuan Shao also very angry, you said that it is better for you to be called a king, this emperor makes me unable to become your courtier as a brother?
And the Han family is crumbling though. After all, the hearts of the people in the world are still towards the Han family, and there are many candidates in the world, and no one dares to be the emperor directly. If you don't send troops, you may lose the hearts of the people in the world.
