Chapter 773: The Wolf Smoke Rekindles (Part II)
"Deputy Division! Now that the war in Hebei has not yet started, the so-called war of soldiers is ever-changing, and you come to ask like this, isn't it difficult for the lord!? ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he ignored it, his eyes were like nails on Cao Cao's body, and he didn't move the slightest. Cao Cao looked down at Jia Xu condescendingly, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that there are so many smart people in the hall, but only Wen He and I think together!" ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he also smiled. Cao Cao's strategist group and others heard that nothing changed color, and many people were even more curious to ask each other.
As soon as Cao Cao waved his hand, everyone immediately shut up and looked respectfully. Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and the expression on his face suddenly became cold, and said: "The reason is very simple, because of the battle of Hebei, the final victory, eight or nine times out of ten is the alliance of the Ma and Liu families!" ”
Cao Cao's words were even more like a thunderbolt from the blue, blasting in everyone's ears. Except for Jia Xu, the rest of the people were all disbelieving, looking incredulous.
Cao Cao took a long breath, and then continued to reply: "Although Yuan Benchu was strong and strong, but in recent years, there have been many wars, but they have returned in vain, and his military spirit is no longer as prosperous as when he defeated Gongsun Zhan. And his wanton rebellion naturally caused confusion among the people, and over the years, many brave generals and warriors under his command have died, and the combat effectiveness of the army has also weakened a lot. On the contrary, Ma Xi since the tiger in Yanzhou, after a vicious battle, but no defeat, repeated victories, his army is vigorous, and Ma Xi is extremely good at training, according to the careful investigation, the training methods used in other armies are quite novel, I have modified this, used in our army, and really gained a lot. In addition, Liu Daer has taken in a lot of warriors in recent years, and he has selected and trained a lot of elite troops from the Yellow Turban remnants and Black Mountain thieves. He has been going on for a long time, so once the Hebei army really fights with Ma and Liu, I am afraid that it will lose more and win less.
Of course, when the two armies fight, what can be decided in one fell swoop is not a battle between soldiers, but a strategy! I don't dare to say what the final result will be, but if you want to ask me what I think, I am more optimistic about Ma and Liu Alliance! Cao Cao's words came out, and everyone knew the stakes.
After hearing this, Jia Xu first bowed, and then answered: "What's more, Yuan Benchu looked up to his children too much. His eldest son Yuan Tan is mediocre, his second son Yuan Xi is stubborn and self-serving, and his third son Yuan Shang is quite capable and talented, but after all, he is still young, and he has two elder brothers above him, so it is naturally difficult to become a big weapon. But Yuan Shao was anxious to train his three children, and he was more interested in letting his third son Yuan Shang inherit the inheritance he had laid, which would definitely cause a dispute between the heirs in the near future and leave it in the future. If the Yuan clan is strong, it may not be much of a problem, but now that the situation in Hebei is delicate, I see that the Yuan clan is difficult to undergo a test! Therefore, based on this, Xu will never be optimistic about Yuan's Hebei army!! ”
only listened to Jia Xu's harsh words, this remark can be described as hitting the nail on the head, and the two talents were speechless. Xun You frowned, and secretly looked at Jia Xu's gaze, with a little more complicated light.
"Haha, the analysis of the lord and Wen He can be described as exquisite. If the battle of Hebei is won by Ma and Liu, Hebei will be very chaotic, and the power of Ma Xi is high, and after breaking the Hebei army, it is when its military spirit is strong, and our army wants to fish in troubled waters, I am afraid it will be difficult. Instead of fighting to the death with Na Ma Xi, it is better to concentrate on the southern expedition and obtain the land of Huainan as soon as possible! Hearing this, Xun Yu laughed and said.
"I don't understand that. Listening to the meaning of the military advisor, could it be that this Ma Xi is even more terrifying than Yuan Highway? ”
"Hahahaha~~!! Ma Xi has the courage of ghosts and gods, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and he is assisted by the ghost Guo Jia, which is much more terrifying than Yuan Highway!! Xun Yu laughed obediently and said without scruples. When many strategists heard this, they couldn't help but change color, and secretly looked at Cao Cao's face, lest Cao Cao would be annoyed and angry.
"That's right, I have to deny that it was with Ma Xi that I had to keep the idea of the northern expedition, and I was more inclined to the southern expedition!" To the surprise of these people, Cao Cao frankly admitted it on the spot.
Just when everyone was amazed, Jia Xu laughed and muttered, "It seems that the lord has already decided!" ”
So, on that day, Cao Cao Bing Liu Bei played a book, and immediately went to the palace to meet Emperor Liu Xie. Liu Xie saw that Liu Bei listed the crimes committed by Yuan Shao over the years, such as contempt for the imperial court, unintentional efforts to save the country, self-respect for the army, wanton invasion of the territories of all parties in the imperial court, and failure to pay taxes to the imperial court, adding up to nearly six crimes. Cao Cao added four more charges against Yuan Shao to Liu Xie, namely the alliance with the Black Mountain thieves and the expansion of the army without permission, as well as the murder of Han Fu and the murder of loyal soldiers of the imperial court.
Liu Xie's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he was furious, but he thought that Yuan Shao, as a general of the country, did not dare to offend lightly, and what was the truth about Han Fu's death back then. How could Liu Xie still listen to Cao Cao's words.
Cao Cao seemed to have expected that Liu Association would have such doubts, so he invited one person to enter the palace. When I was young, I saw a person wearing a canopy walking in, his body was trembling all the time, and suddenly he turned his canopy, knelt on the ground, and screamed: "Your Majesty!" Before his death, my father still remembered the grace of the Han family, and taught the grass people to come to His Majesty to thank the emperor!! And for the loss of Jizhou that year, let Jizhou fall into the ambition of the generation, to die to apologize~!! The man slammed his head and slammed into a golden pillar like a madman.
Liu Ye couldn't help but be startled, and the eunuchs beside him also hurriedly shouted, and the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside heard the movement and hurriedly rushed in.
"Son of Han Fu!! If you die like this, your father will die without turning a blind eye~!! At the same time that the entire hall was in chaos, Cao Cao suddenly shouted, and the person who was like a madman suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at him: "Lord Cao, what do you mean by this!? ”
"Your father entrusted you to me on his deathbed, and asked me to train you to be a man of great use for the country. But now you have to commit suicide like a coward, thinking that although your father is not guaranteed in his later years, he was also a famous hero back then, don't you embarrass him!? ”
I saw Cao Cao's face cold, and he drank a few words, but he was extremely majestic. The man who was called 'the son of Han Fu' by Cao Cao wept bitterly and wept bitterly, knelt down and bowed to Cao Cao, not daring to raise his head.
Liu Xie stabilized his expression at this time, and hurriedly asked Cao Cao about the origin of this person. Cao Cao then answered them one by one. It turned out that this person was Han Fu's son, and soon after he escaped from Yecheng with his father, he went to Cao Cao to seek refuge. Cao Cao thought that Han Fu's father and son could become a sharp weapon against Yuan Shao in the future, so he took them in. But it didn't take long for Han Fu to die of illness. In order to avoid Yuan Shao's pursuit, before Han Fu died, he begged Cao Cao to give his son the surname Cao and change his name to Cao Ha!
Among them, Han Fu wants to remind his son not to forget the hatred of being robbed of his foundation by Yuan Shao and making his Han family ruined!
When Liu Xie heard this Cao hatred so desolate, he couldn't help but recall that the imperial court was manipulated by Dong Zhuo, and later with Dong Zhuo's death, he lived a period of upheaval and exile. Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt a little empathetic, and hurriedly appeased Cao Hao, and immediately issued an edict, according to Cao Cao's advice, ordered to conquer the northern general Ma Xi and named Liu Bei as the Bohai Taishou, and ordered the two to immediately recruit soldiers and horses to crusade against Yuan Shao. At the same time, he ordered Cao Cao to immediately issue an announcement to announce Yuan Shao's ten charges to the world!
So, a few days later, as Liu Xie's announcement was conveyed to various places, there was soon an uproar in the world. The world's great general and as the overlord of Hebei, Yuan Shao, who was once thought to be the most powerful in this troubled world, was sentenced by the imperial court as a thief, and listed ten crimes, and each of them is a capital crime!!
As soon as this news came out, many wise people and those with a certain vision had already guessed that the world, which had been quiet for only two years, was about to break out again. Some people sigh for it, but some people are excited about it.
But said that at the same time, in the Yecheng Hall of Jizhou.
"Damn~~!! Damn~~!! Cao Apu~~!! I'm inseparable from him, and I'm incompatible~~~!! I saw Yuan Shao looking crazy, with a red face and red ears roaring in the bottom of the ground, like a beast about to run wild.
"The lord is angry, now is the autumn of my Yuan clan's critical survival, the lord must not be blinded by anger. According to what I can see, in fact, this Cao Apu is not my Yuan's biggest enemy at the moment, but the lord is putting his mind on him, isn't it just in his arms!? Just when the whole hall was full of people and martial arts, the judge walked out quickly and persuaded in a condensed voice.
When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing was short, like a wild beast roaring, and many civil and military officers under his command did not dare to look up. At this time, only the judge and Yuan Shao looked at each other.
"Judging Zhengnan, according to what you see, who is the biggest enemy of my Hebei army at the moment?" Yuan Shao asked coldly. After hearing the trial, he replied without thinking: "It is undoubtedly the ghost god of Yanzhou!" ”
"Horses! Xi! Yuan Shao shouted twice and took a deep breath. At this time, many civil and military forces under Yuan Shao's command responded one after another, and they seemed to be extremely afraid of Ma Xi. When Yuan Shao saw it, he had to pay attention to it. After calming down for a while, Yuan Shao seemed to understand the truth, and said: "Ma Xi has always been eyeing my Jizhou, and this person is unfathomable, although his command is not as strong as my Hebei army, but it should not be underestimated. But right now, in addition to Na Ma Xi, there is also Liu Da'er from Bohai, who seems to want to oppose me! I don't get rid of these two people for a day, it's really hard to feel at ease!! ”
Yuan Shao said as he spoke, and couldn't help clenching his fists, making a bang. At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted, saying that Tian Feng wanted to see him. Yuan Shao's face was shocked at first, but soon became cold again, and shouted: "Hasn't this Tian Yuanhao been sick in bed all the time!?" Why can you stay and see me now!? ”
However, he said that since the Hebei Army was defeated on all fronts two years ago, Tian Feng, as a military advisor, could not escape the blame, and he did not shirk the charges, and was demoted to a small official by Yuan Shao. Of course, Yuan Shao was just losing his temper at that time, and later Yuan Shao was hesitant to make up his mind because of the choice of heir among his heirs, so he consulted with Tian Feng. How do you know that Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao not to make up his mind too early about the choice of the heir at this critical juncture, and Tian Feng also saw that Yuan Shao had the intention of establishing Yuan Shang as the heir, although he did not say it explicitly, but he repeatedly hinted to Yuan Shao that he must not be in a hurry about this matter, otherwise it will cause a big disaster. But Yuan Shao thought that Tian Feng was slacking off and was furious. In addition, there are many traitors under Yuan Shao's command, who don't like Tian Feng, and Tian Feng has a strict temperament, so he offended many people. So, these people took the opportunity to slander Tian Feng by Yuan Shao's side. And Tian Feng also knew that he had lost Yuan Shao's confidence in him, and in order to avoid the limelight, he had no choice but to cheat.
