Chapter 167 is also the lord and the general

Yuan Xu did not continue to move, but Cao Cao was very proud.

Pointing to the trench outside the city that was burning with raging fires, he said to Xun You and the others: "With this trench, I see how Yuan Xianxin can drive the murderous corpses to attack the city." ”

Xun You, Jia Xu and others were not as interested as him.

Yuan Xu no longer let the murderous corpse move forward, and everyone's faces were very solemn.

"What's going on?" Realizing that something was wrong, Cao Cao asked.

"Did the lord find out that Yuan Xianxin didn't let the murderous corpse move forward anymore?" Xun You asked.

"Of course I did." Cao Cao replied: "The fire is raging in the trench, and as many murderous corpses as there are, as many ashes can be burned. He continued to drive forward, could it be that he wanted to bring firewood into the trenches? ”

Xun You's face was solemn and he didn't say anything more.

Cao Cao suddenly understood something, and his eyes widened: "He's waiting for the fire to burn out?" ”

Xun You nodded: "The lord is right, as long as the fire burns out, he has enough ashes and residual bones in the trench, and the murderous corpses behind him can easily come to the city." At that time, the soldiers could only keep Shouchun if they fought hard. ”

"What should I do?" Cao Cao asked: "Without a trench, we have no danger to rely on, so we can only fight hard." Our soldiers are flesh and blood, and what he drives are the dead......"

Cao Cao's worries are also the common problems faced by Cao Jun up and down after fighting with Yuan Xu for so long.

Every time there is a big war, Yuan Xu will definitely not use a living person.

He drove the murderous corpses into battle.

Even if the head of the murderous corpse is cut off, they can still continue to fight, the only drawback is that they will become aimless, unable to see the opponent clearly, and sometimes even hurt other murderous corpses.

There are only two ways to exterminate them completely.

First, kill Yuan Xu.

The second is to burn them to ashes.

The former method was not only tried by Cao Cao countless times, but also by other people who fought against Yuan Xu, including Zang Ba and Sun Guan, but without exception, all ended in failure.

The latter method, which is relatively feasible, is faced with a huge number of murderous corpses, and the flames cannot burn them all.

The flames in the trench were still burning, and Cao Cao felt a little hopeless.

He hated not being able to cultivate immortal arts like Nanhua.

Although in the face of Yuan Xu, he may still fail, but he will not be helpless when the murderous corpse soldiers come to the city.

Countless murderous corpses stood behind the trench, confronting Cao Cao through the raging flames.

Yuan Tan and others have already seen the results.

"Xianxin drove the murderous corpse to Huainan, and Cao Cao should surrender the city immediately." Yuan Tan said: "If he had done that, there would not have been so many soldiers killed in battle." ”

"Cao Cao's ambition is not small." Yuan Xu said: "How easy is it to ask him to surrender? ”

Yuan Tan nodded, and then asked Yuan Xu: "After this battle, what does Xianxin plan?" ”

"I'm going to stay in Huainan for a while." Yuan Xu replied.

"Why?" Yuan Tan looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you in a hurry to return to Yecheng?" ”

"The 24 solar terms originated here." Yuan Xu replied: "Huainan is located in the Jianghuai River, and the Huai River lies in it, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. Moreover, the soil here is fertile, and the water and land shipping links in all directions. As long as it is used, it can definitely become a rich place to obtain wealth. ”

"The foundation of Xianxin is in Yecheng." Yuan Tan was worried that Yuan Xu would be transferred from Qingzhou to Wei Qi, and in that case, no one would take care of the business in Qingzhou.

"Eldest brother is worried about Qingzhou?" Yuan Xu looked at him.

"Although I no longer have a position in Qingzhou, after all, I have also done a history of assassination for many years." Yuan Tan replied: "In the past, the annual conscription was achieved in Qingzhou. Of course I hope it can be better there. ”

"Elder brother, don't worry." Yuan Xu said: "I didn't plan to transfer Wei Qi over. ”

"As far as I know, Xianxin's fortune gathering order was once the head of the Zhen family." Yuan Tan said: "He is in Yecheng now, if he doesn't transfer Wei Qi, can he be transferred?" ”

"Yecheng is the foundation of our Yuan family, how is it possible." Yuan Xu said: "The wealth gathering order can't come, there will be other people who can." ”

Yuan Tan looked confused, although there are many businessmen in the world, there are many big businessmen.

However, if you don't know enough about people, how can you give up the lifeblood of the economy?

"Eldest brother, don't worry about this, I already have a plan." Yuan Xu replied lightly.

Yuan Tan secretly gasped in his heart.

From Yuan Xu's tone, he could tell that before the expedition, Huainan was already regarded as the Yuan family's territory.

If it were someone else, Yuan Tan would think that it was too arrogant.

It was Yuan Xu who made this move, so he couldn't believe it!

Outside Shouchun City, the murderous corpses besieged the city, and Cheng Yu, who was ordered to go to Liaodong, finally arrived in Liaodong after many days.

As Cao Cao said, Gongsun Du of Liaodong is old and senile, and he is about to die.

Cheng Yu came, and it was Gongsun Kang, the son of Gongsun Du, who received him.

Please Cheng Yu to the front hall.

After the guest and host sat down, Gongsun Kang asked him: "Cheng Gong is not with Cao Mengde, what are you doing in my Liaodong?" ”

"For my lord, but also for Liaodong." Cheng Yu replied.

"Cao Mengde fought with the Yuan family, and he took the lead earlier, but now he is losing and retreating, and we in Liaodong also know it." Gongsun Kang said that Cheng Gong came here, saying that it was for him, I must believe it, but if it was said for Liaodong, there was no convincing reason. ”

Cheng Yu replied: "It's not that there is no convincing reason, but whether the general is willing to believe it or not?" ”

"Cheng Gong said it, and I know whether to believe it or not." Gongsun Kang replied: "It's just that it's useless for me to believe it, now that my father is seriously ill, he can't make a decision, and no one can be the master." ”

"Mrs. Gongsun is old, and the affairs must be handed over to the general." Cheng Yu replied: "What the general does, he should not object." ”

"That's not what I said." Gongsun Kang shook his head and said to Cheng Yu: "Before my father fell asleep, he had an explanation that Liaodong was not allowed to send a single soldier out for nearly two years. ”

Gongsun Kang's meaning is very clear, that is, to tell Cheng Yu that he will come to Liaodong this time, and it will be a trip in vain.

"The chaos in the world has risen, does Liaodong still want to be alone?" Cheng Yu asked: "Yuan Xianxin won Huainan, does General Gongsun think that he will not pacify the north first, and then go south?" ”

"Pacify the North?" Gongsun Kang replied with a smile: "The north is very stable, and no one intends to be an enemy of him, what is there to calm down?" ”

"No one is against him, because the people of the north do not think they are his opponents." Cheng Yu said: "Once he is as strong as him, or beyond Hebei, won't General Gongsun have a plot against the Yuan family?" ”

"Cheng Gong, you say so, but you want to lead the disaster to our Liaodong?" Gongsun Kang frowned and asked.

"Since it's a disaster, the general should also know that he can't hide it." Cheng Yu was blunt.
