The news of Cao Song's murder soon spread all over the world, and even Qingzhou received relevant news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he learned about this incident, Yan Shao was also stunned, he didn't expect that after he changed part of the course of history, this incident would still happen. But it's not surprising to think about it, the world was chaotic at this time, and there were only a few places suitable for living, and Xuzhou was one of them. If Cao Song wanted to take refuge, he would either go to Xuzhou, or go to Jingzhou or Bashu.

Bashu Road is far away, Jingzhou is stable and stable, but the climate is a little different from the Central Plains, compared to Xuzhou is the nearest place, it is easy to think clearly where Cao Song will choose.

If Cao Cao wants to struggle to get ahead in the troubled times, Xuzhou will definitely be his target, so the old man who lives in Xuzhou will become a problem. If Cao Cao raised an army to attack Xuzhou, and Tao Qian took his old husband and other family members hostage, what would happen then?

He can't follow Liu Bang's example and give Tao Qian a piece of the pie, right?

Not to mention that this involves the problem of plagiarism, no matter how ruthless Cao Cao is, he has not reached this point.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao was able to start a business, relying on nothing else, it was the strong support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. This can be seen from the fact that when people in later generations commented on Cao Cao's subordinates, they all distinguished between inner surnames and foreign surnames.

Of course, the outer surnames are headed by Wuziliang, such as Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, etc., and the inner surnames are mainly those from the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Now Cao Song is not the only one in Xuzhou, there are many people from the Cao family who follow Cao Song to Xuzhou for refuge. Except for a few people from the Cao family, there were some young children of the Cao family.

With Cao Song in Xuzhou, many of them are the elders of these children, if Cao Cao really learns from Liu Bang, I'm afraid these children will abandon Cao Cao—————— Cao Cao is a hero, you can't expect other children to watch their parents being slaughtered like him, right?

It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that in the end, what he was waiting for was not the return of his father, but his bad news...

This, I'm afraid it's just creation and making people...

"Lord, Cao Cao has been plotting against Xuzhou for a long time, and this time he has an excuse, I'm afraid he will soon use troops in Xuzhou..." Earlier, the celebrity Xu Shao had commented on it, he was called a hero of the troubled times, and the lower officials had met with this person a few times when he served under Yuan Shao's account in the early years, this person is indeed very comparable, now Cao Cao has occupied Yanzhou, if he is allowed to capture Xuzhou again, I am afraid that the power is not small..."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhao was also a little worried. "We have now broken with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's ally, and he is already in a state of being caught between the two, if Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou, wouldn't it be equivalent to being besieged by Cao and Yuan, so it will be very disadvantageous to me..."

Indeed, Jizhou is located in the north of Qingzhou, which means that the north has been surrounded by Yuan Shao's forces. Yanzhou, which Cao Cao occupied, was located on the west side of Qingzhou, with the sea to the east. That is to say, two of the three are occupied by hostile forces, and Xuzhou, which can only go down to the south, is relatively friendly.

Especially after Yan Shao formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, the relationship with Tao Qian has improved a lot, and many resources can also be obtained from the direction of Xuzhou, which is also Yan Shao's only colleague to the outside world now.

If Xuzhou is also occupied, then...

Yan Shaoke is equivalent to being surrounded by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so there is no vitality at all, even if Yan Shao is powerful, it is useless...

So...

In any case, Xuzhou can't be gained by Cao Cao, at least at this stage, Yan Shao can't bear such consequences...

In fact, the consequences of breaking with Yuan Shao have begun to slowly appear, since Yuan Shao occupied the plains, Yan Shao's relationship with him has become tense, Qingzhou's way to import war horses from the north has been restricted, originally every month from Youzhou and other places in the north to get a lot of good horses, now it is not very good...

If Xuzhou is allowed to be obtained by Cao Cao again, Yan Shao has no other way but to wait for death...

(In fact, in the early days, many people in the Three Kingdoms had a very high evaluation of Cao Cao, in addition to Xu Shao, there were also Qiao Xuan of the Liang State who commented: "The world will be chaotic, and those who are not destined for the world cannot be helped. Nanyang's He Hao also commented. The Han family is dying, and those who settle the world will be this person! ”）

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Dong Zhao's evaluation of Cao Cao can be said to be extremely high, if he hadn't seen Yan Shao at the beginning, and Yan Shao's foundation was obviously much stronger than Cao Cao at that time, I am afraid that the monarch chosen by Dong Zhao would not be Yan Shao but Cao Cao.

is also because of this, Dong Zhao is also jealous of Cao Cao.

If he could, he would rather Yan Shao's opponent be Yuan Shao than Cao Cao. But now, if Xuzhou is really occupied by Cao Cao, Yan Shao's situation will be too bad.

Cheng Yu also thought deeply about this, he had never seen Cao Cao, but the place where he was was not very far from Cao Cao's sphere of influence, and he had heard other people's comments on Cao Cao. If it weren't for the world's extremely high evaluation of Yan Shao, and Dong Zhao's recommendation, he might not have come to Qingzhou.

Now that he has defected to Yan Shao's account, Cheng Yu is naturally doing his best to give advice to him.

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to send someone to remind Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou and make him strengthen his vigilance. Although the martial arts in Xuzhou is not prosperous, there are no less than 100,000 people with armor, and the lower wall is high and strong, and it is not easy to break, so it is impossible to hold on for a period of time until Cao Cao retreats. ”

"Not bad..."Dong Zhao also nodded, expressing his agreement with Cheng Yu's meaning. In addition, the lord should also prepare early, if Tao Qian's situation is critical, I am afraid the best way is to personally lead the troops south, and only in this way can we avoid Xuzhou from being gained by Cao Cao, and we can also avoid fighting on both sides in the future..."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhao frowned slightly. "I have had a few conversations with Cao Mengde before, this person is by no means willing to live under others, and he will definitely turn against Yuan Shao in the future, but now these two are allies, and I believe that there will be no possibility of opposing purposes in a short period of time..."

But with the previous few faces, he has a deeper understanding of Cao Cao, and it is clear that Cao Cao is not the kind of person who is willing to be under others all the time, let alone Yuan Shao?

Now Cao Cao's power is small, so he has to temporarily attach himself to Yuan Shao, and even be hostile to Yuan Shao and others for this reason. But when his power became stronger, it would be a moment before he broke with Yuan Shao...

Yan Shao bowed slightly, knowing that Dong Zhao's analysis was very correct, in history, Cao Cao chose to break with Yuan Shao, who occupied the land of Hebei, after achieving some achievements in strength, and the war that broke out between the two was the first of the three major battles in the late Han Dynasty, the Battle of Guandu.

In this kind of matter, military generals generally have no right to speak, and all things are also established in Yan Shao's conversations with Dong Zhao, Cheng Yu and others.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who have just surrendered must pay close attention to drill, so as to be able to get their hands on it in the shortest possible time, so as not to become the weakness of the Qingzhou Army.

Grain and grass also need to be hoarded to prepare for the coming day, but it doesn't need too much, if it really enters Xuzhou to fight, the grain and grass are naturally in charge of Xuzhou, and Yan Shao doesn't need to worry too much.

At that time, it is only necessary to send some troops into Xuzhou to help Tao Qian hold Xuzhou, as for defeating Cao Cao?

To be reasonable, with thousands of soldiers and horses, he wanted to defeat Cao Cao, and this Yan Shao really didn't have much confidence.

One order after another was issued, and the entire Qingzhou was busy.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and I saw a small official under him walking quickly to Yan Shao's side and whispering in his ear.

"My lord, Zhang Jian, who was sent to Chang'an, is back, and he also brought back two people, one of them is Lord Cai Yong, and the other General Zhang didn't introduce him, but he just asked you to hurry over and say that he could only make it clear in person..."

"Oh?" Hearing that Zhang Jian was back, Yan Shao looked a little surprised, but more joyful.

The relationship between Yan Shao and Cai Yan has improved a lot recently, if he has Cai Yong as a gift, Yan Shao is quite sure that he can take this arrogant talented woman into his hands—————— why doesn't he know that the other party will be like this, a big reason is because he needs Yan Shao to help save his father?

So what?

Why didn't he covet the other party's appearance to be so good to Cai Yan?

As long as you can get the other party, even if you know that the other party will commit to you when you need it? He's just satisfying his possessiveness, which is unique to men.

Of course, he still attaches great importance to his feelings, otherwise when he first met Diao Chan, he would not have tried his best to please the other party, instead of sneaking into the palace with someone directly and stealing them.

Considering Sun Guan and Guan Hai's martial arts, this is not a difficult thing.

In comparison, he has no interest in the mysterious person in the mouth of his subordinates—————— there are only a few talents in Chang'an City who can be used, and now they are either dead or soaring, where will anyone come to Qingzhou?

Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think more about how Cai Yan will repay himself after saving Cai Yong. It can't be said that it is a promise to each other, although Yan Shao is not short of women in the house now, and Diao Chan is even more beautiful in the world, but Cai Yan's temperament is unique among the women he has seen...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

The conversation between the two was quiet, but there were many bright ears in the room. As soon as Yan Shao and the man left the room, almost all the people in the room knew about Cai Yong.

To be reasonable, they are not surprised that Yan Shao will send someone to rescue Cai Yong, after all, Cai Yan's matter is definitely not a secret in Qingzhou, even if it is to please the future father-in-law, rescuing Cai Yong is an indispensable thing, and no one will watch their father-in-law die, right? What's more, doing so can also please the beautiful woman.

Everyone in the hall was a little helpless about Yan Shao's use of resources to do this kind of thing, but it was not easy to say anything. Because most of you here are smart people, and you know very well that as courtiers, there are some things that you can advise, and some things that you should not, especially when it comes to things in the house.

I don't know how many people died from pillow wind in history, and many of them can be called famous ministers and fierce generals, but so what? Isn't it the humiliation of dying in the end?

As for those who are not smart enough, they are loyal to Yan Shao, and they are unlikely to oppose anything.

After Yan Shao's back left, Dong Zhao sighed and said to the person next to him. "In this case, first according to the resolution, send someone to inform Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou, and ask him to prepare early, lest it will be too late when Cao Cao's soldiers come to the city."

"Yes!"

After the little official who received the order left, Cheng Yu looked at Tai Shici and the others below. "General Ziyi, the next thing about sending troops to Xuzhou is going to be entrusted to you, please prepare early, and you must not let Xuzhou fall behind Cao Cao."

"Please rest assured, Tai Shi Ci will definitely not let Cao Cao succeed..." It's just that the previous expedition, the loss of grain and grass and ordnance is not counted, and the current grain and grass in the army are insufficient, and the ordnance is not complete, please prepare it as soon as possible..."

It is really that the previous campaign consumed too much grain, grass and ordnance, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the amount of grain and grass required is almost astronomical, even now. Don't look at Yan Shao's Beihai before when it was so rich, it was also exchanged for almost half of Qingzhou.

In the past few years, I have gone on several expeditions, and the grain and grass have long been tossed.

What's more, just a county in Beihai, it is a bit whimsical to want to support more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. The rest of Qingzhou is messed up by the yellow scarf, and it will take some time to recover, and the grain and grass are a very obvious problem.

In addition to this, there are also ordnance.

Ordinary swords, guns and armor are not a big problem, not to say that the inventory can equip all the Qingzhou army. That's basically impossible, even half of the equipment is unlikely.

However, at this stage, those people of the Yellow Turban Army are still practicing, and they don't need any good ordnance to use for the time being. Especially the armor, without them going to the battlefield, there is no need to give them armor and the like, and when they finish training, the armor is estimated to be fully prepared.

The real problem is consumables such as arrows, which are consumed for every siege or field battle.

Whether it was Le'an in the previous time, or the later Qi State, countless arrows were consumed, and the inventory in the military camp can be said to be seriously insufficient.

Tai Shici, as the main general in the army, knew this, and originally didn't particularly care about it, but now that the expedition is imminent, he has to ask, otherwise he will go out with an empty quiver...

Cao Cao's words, Tai Shici also met a few times when the sour jujube alliance was formed, and it was indeed extraordinary. Even to put it bluntly, Tai Shici felt that the other party was much more reliable than his own father-in-law. However, loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and good women don't marry second husbands, since they follow Yan Shao, they won't have second thoughts.

What's more, Yan Shao treats him very well, even the old mother in his family treats him as his own mother, and he has to visit him in person every few days, how can he not repay him with death?
