Chapter 191: Don't retreat!

Since the beginning of the tribal era, there was a war on the land of China, at that time the folk customs were simple, and the emphasis was on the 'teacher of benevolence and righteousness - first salute and then soldier', before the war must notify the enemy, the two sides must make an appointment with the time and place, put the men and horses, beat the drum to march into the army, Ming Jin retreated, after dividing the winner or loser, the victor did not pursue the fleeing enemy, nor did he abuse the prisoners, as the losing party, he had to admit his mistake and pay the hostages!

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the etiquette collapsed, the people's hearts were not ancient, and the laws of war also changed...... They have appeared on the battlefield, and the purpose of the war has changed from 'subjugating the enemy to me', to grabbing land and population, which later generations call - the Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War!

In the Han Dynasty, people threw away the last bit of shame, and in order to win, they did whatever it took to win, what counter-plots, bitter meat schemes, and beauty schemes...... There are endless streams, and the war is mainly based on sneak attacks, it is best to touch the edge of the enemy's bed, the other party has not yet noticed, a knife down, cleanly, there is only one principle left in the war - no principle!

The trend of history, the mighty, those who follow it prosper, those who go against it die, whoever can't keep up with the pace of the times, will inevitably be eliminated, only the strong, proud of the tide!

Such a simple truth, some people understand, some people will never understand, it is a pity, Yuan Shao belongs to the latter, still put on the demeanor of the family of the gate valve, want to come to a 'dignified - first salute and then soldier', the momentum is very noisy, the result is: Before the Hebei envoy crossed the Yellow River, the Cao Ying Group got the news and immediately prepared to get up!

………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the secret room of Xuchang-Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao took his three sons Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, and gathered the four major strategists of Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Le Jin...... Some core generals, discussing strategies against the Yuan Group, the number of participants will never exceed twenty!

This is also one of the rules of the Cao Ying Group, only the core figures, can participate in important military and political meetings, do not penetrate the wind, do not leave words, everyone is tight-lipped, even the mobilization of people, raising money and food, but also in secret, the standard low-key behavior, high-profile life!

On the other hand, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a peaceful atmosphere, the door of the mansion is wide open, the personal soldiers and attendants, maids and servants enter and exit normally, there is no difference from the past, the streets outside are full of people, without any restrictions, and the shouting of small businessmen's sales power, who would have thought that in the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of people are discussing military affairs, which is called 'tight inside and loose outside!'" ’

"Yuan Shao has a large number of troops on his own, and he has not been subordinate for a long time, and now he is sending envoys to coerce the imperial court, and his arrogance is extremely arrogant, how to deal with the old man, I hope you will tell you with good words!"

Cao Cao was dressed in regular clothes, sitting upright like a mountain, his expression was as calm as water, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but in his flashing eyes, it was lightning and thunder - turning over the river and the sea!

Clear-eyed people can see that the situation has developed to this point, the battle between Cao and Yuan is inevitable, this is a life-and-death decisive battle, the two sides will press all the chips, the winner has the Central Plains, and even dominates the world and Kyushu, loses everything, and finally dies without a place to bury!

Cao Cao is forty-four years old this year, he is already middle-aged, he is from a dirty background, he is the adopted grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng, he has been discriminated against since he was a child, and is called 'eunuch widow', compared with the Yuan family's 'four worlds and three dukes', it can be said that there is a world of difference!

But he has an unyielding heart, and he also has enough wisdom and courage to study the art of war diligently, practice martial arts, and rely on his own efforts, at the age of 20, he raised filial piety, at the age of 23, he was the commander of Dunqiu, at the age of 34, he raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and at the age of 40, he became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

High-ranking officials, glory, wealth, and supreme glory...... These are the energy that Cao Cao spent most of his life, after nine deaths and a lifetime, hard work, and now he is pressed on a war with unpredictable victories and defeats, is it worth such a shocking gamble?

"Whew! …… Call! Call! ”

The atmosphere in the secret room was solemn, only the sound of heavy breathing, some people clenched their fists, some people were sweating, all of them were bowing their heads and pondering, the battle between Cao and Yuan was not only about the survival of the Cao family, but also on their rise and fall of honor and disgrace, whether it was famous in history, or it would be remembered for thousands of years, it depends on this battle, so we must act cautiously!

"Yuan's entrenchment in Hebei for many years, can be described as deep-rooted, under the command of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, money and grain piled up, the military under his command is not an idle generation, Guo Tu, Xu You, trial are all resourceful people, Tian Feng, frustration is loyal, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chun Yu Qiong Yongguan three armies, fighting, our army may not have a good chance of winning?

Especially the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and there are not a few officials in the court. ”

Xun Yu is also from a family, and he knows very well in his heart that the most terrifying thing about the Yuan family is not how many cities and lands, how many civil servants and generals, but the prestige of 'the world's first gate'!

In troubled times, prestige is capital, and with this as a call, you can exchange for real money, and you can get countless grains and grasses, as well as the strong support of the world's scholars!

Cao Cao has been the prime minister for more than four years, working day and night, dealing with large and small government affairs, but he has been subject to all kinds of obstructions, open guns and hidden arrows, conspiracies continue, good policies cannot be implemented, and excellent children of poor families cannot be promoted.

In the eyes of the world, the world belongs to the Liu family, and it is the gate valve of the scholar clan, Cao Cao's position as prime minister is not stable, and sooner or later he will be replaced by the Yuan family.

"Mr. Wen Ruo is reasonable, the Yuan clan is huge, and it must not be taken lightly!"

"Among the court officials, the scholars account for about seventy percent, and once there is a change, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"It's hard to fight, it's better to make peace, but Yuan Shao may not agree, I'm afraid I will have to cut the land to accompany the gold?"

……………………………………………………

Xun Yu's words, like a thousand-year-old iceberg, pressed everyone's hearts, and the civil and military officials attending the meeting discussed a lot, and most of them were inclined to negotiate peace, even if it was to cede some land!

"The subordinates are not talented, they are willing to send an envoy to Hebei to discuss the conditions for peace, as long as they can avoid the suffering of the sword soldiers, a small sacrifice can be tolerated!"

Xun You took the initiative to ask Ying, willing to go to Hebei, between the scholars, intertwined, secretly have some contacts, it is easier to speak, is it a big deal to send some gold and silver bribes!

Xun Yu and Xun Yu are both Cao Ying's old ministers, they have always given advice, done their best, and there is no problem in loyalty, and if you think about it carefully, their methods are also feasible, temporarily avoid the edge, preserve strength, and then make long-term plans, which can be described as the safest strategy!

Cao Cao also agrees with this, but he has been mighty for half his life and has never succumbed to others, so this time he has to make an exception, thinking of this, he looked at the empty right hand, sighed lightly, and turned his gaze to the left, falling on Guo Jia!

Cao Cao has won many battles and obtained today's achievements, relying on one article and one martial arts, his right-hand man, and now Xiao Yi is in prison, he can only look at this 'ghost talent'!

"The Prime Minister is skilled in arching and horses, and likes to hunt, if you encounter a colorful tiger in the canyon, there is no guard on the left and right, only a sword in your hand, I don't know whether to advance or retreat?"

Facing the inquiring gaze, Guo Jia did not answer positively, but talked about hunting, which seems to be unrelated, but in fact it has a deep meaning!

"Huh! …… The tiger in the mountains is brave and cunning, the most will bully people, you take a step back, it goes further, step by step, never die, the old man should wield the sword, fight bravely! ”

There is no need to beat the drum hard, Cao Cao is such a smart person, he instantly understood, Guo Jia is using the tiger as a metaphor, and advises himself to muster up the courage to fight to the death with Yuan Shao!

The current situation, Yuan Shao is a tiger down the mountain, teeth and claws, amazing power, if he is timid in his heart and accepts the conditions of peace, in the next step, there will be more harsh conditions, step by step, endlessly, and finally be swallowed up!

In this case, it is better to fight hard, relying on the service of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as well as the help of a group of civil and military generals, I have no chance of winning, as long as I defeat Yuan Shao, it is equivalent to subduing the Shi clan gate valve group, at that time, the world Kyushu, let me gallop!

"The old man has made up his mind, against a strong enemy, not retreating, gathering all his strength, fighting to the death with Yuan Benchu, and there will be peace in the future, just like this case!"

Since he is ready for a decisive battle, he must unify his internal thoughts, Cao Cao drew his sword in his hand, showed murderous intentions, and slashed fiercely on the bookcase in front of him, dividing it in half to show that there is no change!

"The Prime Minister is wise and martial, and he will be blessed by God, and we will do our best to serve the death!"

Looking at the broken bookcase, all the civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, and they all clasped their fists and saluted, so far, there is no way back, they can only fight to the death!

At the end of the meeting, a group of civil and military officials sorted out their clothes, calmed down their good mood, and walked out of the secret room one after another as if they were nothing, and returned to the mansion one after another, secretly preparing to go!

The battle of life and death, relying on strategy and tactics, fighting for soldiers, horses, money and food, whoever is fully prepared, whose chance of winning is greater, now it is time to compete for internal strength!

After seeing everyone leave, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then turned around and instructed his second son, Cao Pi: "Zihuan quickly go to the prison, tell Xiao Lang the content of today's meeting word for word, let him get ready, the battle of life and death is not far away!" ”

"No! -The child obeys the order and immediately sets off for the prison! ”

After Cao Pi got up and saluted, he immediately turned around and left, today's meeting made him learn a lot, and he also understood one thing: "In my father's heart, my favor for Xiao Lang has not diminished at all!" ”
