Chapter 331: Yuan Shao's Calculations
"Since you two have this heart, you don't think so much of you. Okay, that's the end of the matter, let's all go down and rest and recuperate. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and in troubled times, you two are not afraid that there will be no chance of shame in the future. Yuan Shao waved his hand lightly, but he looked magnanimous, Yan and Gao were busy holding back tears, and after bowing again, they apologized and left.
After a while, Yan and Gao retreated, Yuan Shao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and there was a little more remorse on his face, and he said secretly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, a talent like Zhang Liao actually followed the command of the Ma family's children, I knew it was so, when I was in Jiguan, I should have made friends with this Zhang Liao!" Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's eyes couldn't help narrowing. At the beginning, He and Ding would fight outside the Kei Pass and confront Dong Zhuo's army. At that time, Yuan and Zhang belonged to He and Ding, respectively, and were allies. And with Yuan Shao's identity and prestige, if he is willing to make friends with Zhang Liao, even if Zhang Liao will not be ecstatic, at least he will have a good impression of him. In this way, after Ding Yuan was killed, Yuan Shao took the opportunity to store it again, and it was a matter of course.
Of course, Yuan Shao is not stupid, and he can even be said to be a man with a unique vision and a lot of wit, not long after the Jiguan Rebellion, he thought about the original situation carefully, and soon found that the cause of Ding Yuan's death was most likely caused by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.
After all, according to the perspective of profit maximization, it is undoubtedly Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu who get the most benefits. Even later, Lu Bu became Dong Zhuo's righteous son. Looking at Ma Zongheng and Zhang Liao, who killed Ding Yuan, not only could they not get the slightest benefit, but they also had to bear the infamy of killing Zhongliang.
However, Yuan Shao has always regarded Ma Zongheng as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, even if he understands it in his heart, he will never avenge Ma Zongheng, and he is even happy to do so. It's just a pity that I missed out on such a tiger general.
But Yuan Shao didn't want him to be too high, where would he look down on Zhang Liao, who was only a little famous at the time, and even he couldn't even look down on Lu Bu, thinking that he was a great general with Wen and Yan who was enough to stand out from the crowd. It's just that with the arrival of troubled times and the emergence of heroes, he gradually found that with Wen and Yan, he was really stretched.
"Eh, it seems that I also want to promote the young generals under my command, although Zhang Junyi is young, but his skills are extraordinary, and he has made many miraculous achievements in recent years, which can be of great use." Yuan Shao's mind turned, and suddenly he heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then his face froze, and then he heard someone from outside the hall come to report, and Guo Tu asked to see him.
Yuan Shao shook his spirits and said, "Come in." โ
After a while, I saw that the judge was dressed in a brocade white robe, with a beautiful beard and eyes, and he was also handsome and chic. Looking at Guo Tu wearing a yellow robe and a crown hat, with a smile on his face, he seemed to be full of confidence, and he looked a little sรจ, but after seeing Yuan Shao, he quickly reined in.
"I'll wait to see my lord." The two came to the front of the temple and bowed together. Yuan Shaokou said that he was exempt, and then Shen Se asked the judge first: "Yan and Gao were defeated in Hedong, and Hanoi is approaching, I'm afraid that the army's morale will be the most affected, what is happening there now?" โ
"Back to the lord, Hanoi now has that Zhang Junyi guard, this son has always been cautious, after retreating to Hanoi, immediately stepped up defenses, rectified the three armies, and the head of the white wave thieves Guo Tai, seeing that Hanoi was rich, had ordered his subordinate Bocai and Li Le to lead troops to attack, but they were all defeated by Zhang Junyi and returned. Now that Hanoi is gradually stable, the lord does not have to worry. However, the Sima family seemed restless, and after listening to the report, the Sima family began to transfer the family business. Cao Cao, who was originally trapped in the army and no food, was funded by a large amount of money and food, which was like a tiger with wings, and his military morale was like a rainbow, all of them were heroic, and Zhang Miao's army was defeated and retreated, and now the troops have forced Chen to stay in the city, and the soldiers besieged the city for half a month. โ
"Hmph, this rich Sima family in the world has even begun to fund Ah Pu!? It seems that they also thought that Apo was the future prince. It's true that I've seen Apo as a competitor for many years. However, Chen Liucheng is the capital of a county, and I heard that when Zhang Miao made up his mind to turn his face with Apu, he deliberately spent a huge amount of money to strengthen the city, and Apu's family members were all in Zhang Miao's hands, Apu wanted to take down Chen Liucheng easily, I am afraid it was not so simple. Yuan Shao said lightly, his eyes exuding bursts of essence, and he didn't know whether it was joy or anger.
At this time, the judge's face changed, and he said with a somewhat solemn face: "The strange thing is that
Not long ago, Cao Cao's family members were rescued by a group of mysterious people, and then many of Zhang Miao's subordinates were repeatedly assassinated, and many people were killed and injured. Later, it was discovered that the assassins had already dug the tunnel and sealed the crossing, and the situation improved. However, now Chen Liucheng is panicked, and the soldiers and civilians in the city think that Zhang Miao is gone, thinking that this Zhang Miao can be mediocre, I am afraid that he is powerless, so he can only sit and wait for death.
It is said that this time his army was able to kill Chen Liucheng so quickly, and even saved Cao Cao's family and assassinated Zhang Miao's subordinates and a series of strategies, all of which were thought up by Xun You, who had just joined Cao Cao. Although this person is older than Xun Yu, who is known as 'Wang Zuo's talent', he is also his nephew, and it is said that this person's talent is not inferior to Xun Yu's. โ
The more Yuan Shao listened, the darker his face became, his eyes glowed with a cold light, and when he saw that the trial stopped, he asked, "What does Zhengnan mean?" โ
After hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Forgive the courage of the ministers, I think Cao Cao is a man of great talent, and his command is full of talents, and now he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if he can accommodate Zhang Miao's subordinates, there are 50,000 troops, and now he has the support of the Sima family, and the rise is out of control." If you don't eradicate it as soon as possible, this person will definitely become the enemy's henchman in the future! I think that now that the victory or defeat of Chen Liu is undecided, the lord may wish to stop the war in the name of the lord of the Northern Alliance, and send someone to ask Lord Yuan Shu for help, once Cao Cao relaxes, the lord and brother will be able to annihilate him before and after, and the lord can discuss with Lord Yuan Shu, one person wants Chen Liu, and the other person wants Cao Cao and Zhang Miao's subordinates, so distributed, Lord Yuan Shu must also be willing. โ
Yuan Shao was obedient, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and after thinking for a while, he secretly bowed his head and said: "What Zhengnan said is extremely true, just do what you say, and leave this matter to you." Send troops there, but according to the situation, if Hanoi is stable, then teach that Zhang Junyi to lead the troops to attack. And you repair another document for me, and from now on, Zhang Junyi will be Ben Lei Hou! โ
As soon as Yuan Shao said this, the judge and Guo Tu couldn't help but secretly change color, as if they didn't expect Yuan Shao to suddenly use his jaw so much. But soon the two of them thought about it carefully, thinking that this Zhang Junyi has made many miraculous achievements in recent years, and now his prestige in the army is more than that of Wen and Yan, and it is natural to be reused.
"No!" After the thought of judging the match, he gave up his promise, and after sinking his face, he couldn't help but ask: "There is one thing, your subordinates don't know whether to ask?" โ
When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was displeased at first, and he became a little cold and said, "If you have something to say, just say it." โ
"His Majesty thought that dealing with Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, it would be more than frustrated for one person. Why did the lord deliberately transfer the military division away, otherwise he would be in charge of the overall situation, and he would be able to solve more problems for the lord. โ
As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Shaoli showed a little displeasure, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are too underestimated in Zhenzhennan." Liu Yu of Youzhou has never had great ambitions, and he dared to invade this time, and he dared to ask me for Fanyang and Hejian counties, I am afraid that he was instigated by that Gongsun Zhan!
That Gongsun Chan has always been cunning, and there is a white horse under his command that can fight well. Now Jizhou is undecided, but if the front line cannot be held, the situation will collapse. Why can't I send the military division to the front line just in case!? โ
The judge heard that there was a bit of anger in Yuan Shao's tone, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and knew that Yuan Shao was stubborn and self-serving, how could he dare to refute half a sentence, and he was busy admitting his mistake.
"There is a thing, I don't know if it should be reported or not?" At this time, Guo Tu suddenly opened his mouth. When Yuan Shao heard this, he added a little displeasure and said, "Why are you both procrastinating like this today!?" Say it! โ
When Guo Tu heard this, he was shocked, and bowed and said: "My lord, then Liu Dai has sent three emergency rescue letters in a few days, I don't know if the lord has made up his mind?" โ
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said with a little irritation: "It's this Liu Dai again!" โ
It turned out that Yuan Shao saw that it was difficult to take advantage of the repeated battles with Ma Zongheng, and Jizhou was not stable, so Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou were stationed on the border again, eyeing each other, Yuan Shao was too busy to take care of himself, and he had no intention of entanglement with Ma Zongheng, but he didn't know how to refuse Liu Dai, and he was irritable.
Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao didn't like it, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, so he answered: "According to the foolish opinion of his subordinates, Jizhou is not stable at the moment, and there are strong enemies outside, so it is definitely not the best policy to rashly send troops to Yanzhou. Moreover, not long ago, Zhang Liao subdued Wang Fang's old department, and with the assistance of the two families of Anyiwei and Cai, he recruited troops and horses, and now there are nearly 10,000 troops in Hedong. But if he comes to invade Hanoi, he may not be able to resist Zhang Liao's army with Zhang Junyi.
I was able to hear the plan of judging the sacrificial wine, and the lord had the intention to get rid of Cao Cao, so it was better to agree to the alliance with the Ma family children first, after all, the Ma family children were also quite sincere, and before this thing was done, they sent 3,000 loads of grain, and more than 1,000 prisoners, and even said, if the lord is willing to agree, he will give another thousand taels of gold and 3,000 taels of grain to show his sincerity. I don't know what the lord thinks? โ
When Yuan Shao heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he was about to refuse subconsciously, but suddenly frowned, and after thinking for a while, he felt that Guo Tu's words were also very reasonable, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked the judge: "Zhengnan, what do you think?" โ
The judge glanced at Guo Tu secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little more disdainful in his heart, and snorted coldly: "I heard that this Guo Gong secretly accepted a lot of benefits from the Ma family's children, this is good, in order to promote this, drag me into the water!" โ
Although the judge was not angry in his heart, it was impossible to hit himself in the mouth, and just now he also heard that Yuan Shao intended to send Zhang Jaw to attack Chen Liu, thought for a while, and said: "What the public rule said is indeed reasonable. The Ma family is now sitting firmly in Hedong and Dongjun, on the contrary, although Cao Cao's momentum is great, he has not yet gained a firm foothold in Chenliu, so he should be eliminated as soon as possible. โ
"Well, I think so! Okay, that's the case, the princess will go down later, and quickly prepare for the alliance, and when it is properly discussed, I will summon the envoy of the Ma family again, and it will not be too late to decide on this matter! Yuan Shao made up his mind, but he also became resolute. When Guo Tu heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and he was busy receiving orders.
A few days later, Yuan Shao and Ma Zongheng made an alliance, and each issued a decree to Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, asking the two to stop the war on the basis of the suffering of the Son of Heaven, the traitors not being eliminated, and the social turmoil. On the other hand, Yuan Shao taught people to pass the secret book to Yuan Shuna, intending to unite his younger brother and first annihilate Cao Cao, who was rising up.
However, he said that outside Chen Liucheng, he saw camps everywhere, all of which were Cao Jun. I also heard the sermon and shouted angrily, and the momentum was mighty, all calling for the soldiers in the city to open the city and surrender, so as not to sacrifice innocently.
At the same time, inside Cao Cao's tiger tent. Cao Cao looked at the paperwork in his hand, without the slightest anger, except for laughing, he still laughed, and then gently put it down, touched the beard on his chin with one hand, and said unhurriedly: "It seems that Yuan Benchu can't help it and is going to make a move on Cao someone." โ
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the soldiers in the tent changed color, and they didn't know what Cao Cao was referring to for a while.
