Chapter 217: The North and the South are surging

Cao Cao's heart jumped, as if someone had spied through the thoughts in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut when I thought that this person was the drama loyalty that I relied on, my heart suddenly relaxed. laughed and said: "After all, Qiu Jiyu and Han Mingyuan have been brothers for many years, although they are not biological, they are better than biological. I can understand him. Zhicai said that I also intend to advocate attacking Han Mingyuan...... I don't know where to start? ”

Xi Zhong scratched his neck and said with a smile: "I heard that the sentinels sent by the lord to all directions, the direction of Ji, Qing, Xu, and Yang is only reported once every three days, while the direction of Yuzhou is reported three times a day, so I know it." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Then why does Zhicai say that Yuan Nai is the only person who can calm the world with me?" ”

Xi Zhong suddenly languished, yawned, and said: "Han Mingyuan has gone from being a son-in-law in a district to the current general of Zhengdong and Yangzhou Mu, sitting on the land of Yu and Merging, which shows that his ability is not vulgar. Since the beginning of Dong's requisition, Han Mingyuan has an army of more than 100,000 people, but he does not carry out conquests, but cultivates politics and governs the local government. When others thought that Han Mingyuan was loyal to the auxiliary country, he was in a position to swoop in, and Yuan Benchu, who was in danger of shaking the world, was destroyed. ”

"If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's arrogance, Zhang Yang's incompetence, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu's rapid defeat, the situation in the world would have changed greatly, and the Han family would have the possibility of revival. It's a pity that this providence makes people, and it will be difficult for the Han family to be revived. And Han Mingyuan's jurisdiction now has an absolute advantage over Li and Guo in Chang'an. It could have been possible to storm Chang'an with the power of thunder and seize the Han Emperor Fengtianzi to meet the expectations of the public. However, Han Mingyuan let it go gently, I don't know the reason, but I see its stupidity. However, perhaps it is because Han Mingyuan has no other comrades to help Han, and he is afraid that he will be trapped in Henan again. ”

Xi Zhong became more and more depressed at this time, and even yawned, Cao Cao felt distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Zhicai, don't be forbearing, go to the side hall and smoke the Five Elements Scatter." ”

Xi Zhong hurriedly confessed, and staggered into the side hall with flirtatious steps. Cao Cao sighed secretly, Xi Zhicai is good at everything, but his health is not good. Recently, I heard that I took a medicine of Wuxingsan, and it seems to have gotten better. But when it came time to take the medicine every day, I was sluggish, yawning for days, and I didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Cao Cao turned to ask Xun Yu and Cheng Yu with a smile, and said, "Wen Ruo and Zhong De are also slightly the same as Zhicai's views?" ”

Cheng Yu responded in a deep voice: "If there is chaos today, heroes from all over the world will rise together, and there will be people who will be destined to stop the chaos in the world." I only know that the wisdom of the lord is not born in the world, and it is bestowed by the heavens, but I don't know what to call the son-in-law of the tomb. If the lord thinks that Han Yi'er will hinder the lord from doing the king's business, what is there to worry about. ”

"I think Han Yi has nearly 200,000 elite soldiers, and since Dong Zhuo's death, he has the strongest army in the world. Although Er Yuan and the lord also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they are far inferior to the elite. Therefore, this opportunity for the union of Er Yuan and the lord is a good opportunity to break Han Yi. Otherwise, after Han Yi breaks through Yuan Shu and obtains the land of Yangzhou, its momentum has been achieved, and even if the lord wins the land of Qingxu again, it will be difficult to rival him. Don't miss it. ”

Cao Cao turned to Xun Yu again, and Xun Yu said hesitantly: "From what I have seen over the years, Han Mingyuan can be described as a righteous man who is loyal to the auxiliary country. If it is the time when the world is safe, Princess Ming is in power, and Han Mingyuan is the main soldier, and the two should be suitable. It's a pity that when there is chaos today, the Lord must obey the Son of Heaven, and the Han family can turn the crisis into safety. It's just that although Han Mingyuan's military politics are not good, his attitude towards scholars is quite unkind. You need to know that seven or eight out of ten talents in the world are in the scholars, if you don't have the help of the scholars, how can you achieve great things? ”

"So in my opinion, although Han Mingyuan can, he is not as good as Ming Gong after all. If Han Mingyuan is willing to serve Ming Gong as the main master, he will support the Han family together...... This is a certain conjecture, which makes the lord laugh. I think that although Han Mingyuan can pacify the world, there are very few people who can help him, and the time to pacify the world will be long. Even if the world is pacified, it will inevitably be difficult to turn the crisis into peace for the government. Just like Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty, although he has a good heart, he has no good governance, and eventually the world will return to chaos. ”

Moreover, Han Mingyuan occupied the land of Henan, blocking the road of Ming Gong to the west to welcome the Han Emperor. If it is united, I am afraid that Han Mingyuan will be strong and self-sustaining. Therefore, when Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway both asked Ming Gong to send troops, they attacked Han Mingyuan a little, and subdued him. ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It seems that everyone thinks that they want to use troops against Han Mingyuan, so I will agree to send troops." It's just that I don't know how our army should attack and where to focus on it, so that Han Mingyuan can be forced to land with the biggest blow? ”

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Although I know the general strategy of military affairs, I am not very good at details. If my nephew Xun Gongda is here, he will definitely be able to give Ming Gong the best advice. ”

Cao Cao asked happily: "I don't know where Ling nephew Xun Gongda is?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Gongda has been serving the emperor in Yuyang since he was opened by He Jin as the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and he should be in Chang'an at this time. It's just that the road is restless, and I haven't heard from him for a long time. ”

Cao Cao hurriedly called: "I also hope that if Wen sends more people to inquire, it is necessary to invite Gongda to Yanzhou to conspire with great things." ”

Xun Yu thought about it, so he gave up. Cheng Yu sighed and said: "Wen Ruo has always had expectations for the Han family, once he is on top of dealing with the loyal ministers of the Han family, he will immediately be shallow and will not be as wise as usual. ”

Cao Cao nodded and smiled: "Isn't this exactly what Xun Wenruo is cute?" ”

The two looked at each other and immediately burst out laughing. Cheng Yuyu said: "Han Yi is indeed the enemy of the lord who seized the world. If the lord sits back and watches the development of Han Yi, the future Kanto will definitely develop, Yuan Shao, who won the land of Yan, Zhao and Wei in Hebei, and Han Yi, who won the land of Chu and Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River, will only besiege the lord of the hometown of Qilu in the east. If the lord can't break through one side quickly, and Kansai sends another force to obtain the land of the old Qin, it will be very detrimental to the great cause of the lord. Therefore, when Han Yi has not really grown, it is better to quickly break through its military. ”

Cao Cao sighed and said, "Thinking that three years ago, I made an appointment with Han Mingyuan to support the Han family. I don't want him to turn against him in three years. When I think about it, I can't stop sighing. ”

Cheng Yu persuaded: "My lord, before the hegemony of the world, no emotional use is allowed, and I hope that the lord will see it clearly." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Zhongde, you are very right, but I have always been suspicious about dealing with Han Mingyuan. It is that the soldiers and horses under the command of Han Mingyuan are quite strong, although I claim to have 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers to the outside world. But after choosing its elite and returning to the people, there were actually only more than 70,000 troops. Even these more than 70,000 troops are also short of weapons, and the soldiers are not trained, so they are afraid that they will be difficult to defeat Han Mingyuan's elite soldiers. If we attack Tao Qian in Xuzhou, the strength of our army will not be exposed, but if we attack Han Mingyuan...... I'm afraid that things will not work. ”

Cheng Yu also felt quite embarrassed after hearing this, if the matter of elite soldiers is not cultivated after several years of hard training and the method of repeated victories, it will definitely be difficult to become a strong army. Although the Qingzhou soldiers subdued Cao Cao, they were conditionally subdued.

The Qingzhou soldiers were only loyal to Cao Cao, and they only acted on Cao Cao's orders. They are self-contained, and they often hold together, which is incompatible with the generals of the Cao family. Except for Cao Cao and Qiu Rui, who came forward to summon the Qingzhou soldiers, it was difficult for others to command easily.

Therefore, Cao Cao recruited 30,000 new soldiers from Yanzhou and assigned them to the generals of the Cao family, and these 30,000 new soldiers only practiced for about two months, which was difficult to compare with Han Yi's elite army.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but say ruthlessly: "Now in order to speed up the army under the command of the lord, the only way to replace training is to kill and kill. When the soldiers are indifferent to the life and death of the enemy and us, and do not care about their own lives, they can become a strong army. ”

Cao Cao was shocked, but his face became more and more heavy. Thinking about the great cause of the world, in order to make the world stable as soon as possible, necessary killing is absolutely indispensable. Cao Cao thought about it for a long time, but after all, there was no other way, and finally made up his mind to train his troops by killing.

Cao Cao immediately ordered the generals to train their troops on a large scale, and banned them from taking charge of military affairs. Anyone who makes a mistake in the drill will be punished once with a rod, twice with a whip, and beheaded three times. After only ten days of training, nearly 20,000 of the 100,000 troops were beheaded, and the remaining 80,000 troops eventually became a terrifying blood-eating army.

After hearing that Yuan Shao had raised troops in the north to capture the lands of Bingzhou and Hanoi, he immediately ordered the whole army to be dispatched. With Xiahoudun as the main general, he led 10,000 troops out of Jiyin, and took Yingchuan through Chenliu. He also led 20,000 troops with Cao Ren out of Jiyin, took the land of Liang and Pei, and contained Che Jing, Zhou Ge and other generals. Cao Cao led an army of 40,000 with Lejin, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei as the vanguard, and forced Chen Guo to go. In addition, Qiu Rui was left to lead 5,000 troops to guard Jiyin and Shanyang. Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others led thousands of troops to defend Dongjun, Dongping, Jibei and other places.

When Han Yi's county guards heard that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao's seven-way army was coming, they were all shocked, and they all looked for the guards from all over the country to discuss with the county captains, but they were all panicked because of the overwhelming enemy. However, Han Yi was trapped in the second half of Shouchun City at this time, unable to move.

It turned out that after Han Yi led his troops out of Pingyu, the two route armies of Che Jing and Zhou Ge were smooth sailing. Che Jing took the first county, broke it, Taiqiu, Jianping, Yan County, Dan County, and Linsui heard the wind and fell. Che Jing entered the army and surrounded Yuan Zhong, who was placed by Yuan Shu. Liang State because of the proximity to Yanzhou, Yuan Shu left fewer soldiers and horses, Zhou Ge's army arrived, almost fell in the wind, and the Liang State surrendered the whole county within ten days. Zhou Ge hurriedly ordered all the armies to go to the cities to receive them.

After Han Yi's army marched to Gushi, Li Tong, Wen Ji, and Zhang Xuan led hundreds of guests to join the army. Han Yi used it as Sima and the military candidate, and ordered him to obey orders in front of the tent. In Zhishen County, there were more than 1,000 people led by Xu Ding and Xu Yu to vote.

Han Yiren Xu was designated as Sima and listened to it in front of the account. Looking at Xu Zhen's body is fat, but he is flexible like an ape, and his strength is infinite. asked him to try his martial arts a little, only to see Xu Yu's sword skills were strange and very fierce. Han Yi was overjoyed and appointed Xu Yu as the former lieutenant of the tent, responsible for the guard.

Passing through Jiujiang Xia Cai, Xia Cai Ling did not dare to stop him, and led the whole city officials out of the city to greet Han Yi, the general of Zhengdong, and the new Yangzhou pastor came to take office.
