Chapter 598: Cao Cao fell into the well
After Gao Shun evacuated, Yuan Shu was happy and recovered Jiujiang County without fighting.
He and Sun Ce fought in two directions to Jiangdong.
Gao Shun and Ling Cao defended directly on the edge of the Yangtze River this time, and Zhou Cang secretly mobilized a part of the merchant ships to be ready for a sneak attack at any time.
At this time, Zhang Yu was still on the grassland, running wildly on the grassland for three days, and did not encounter the ambush of the Huns, thinking that the Huns should be ambushed on the way back.
"Report, lord, urgent information."
On the way, Zhang Yu heard the call of the scout, and the whole army slowly stopped.
"What?" Zhang Yu asked intently.
The scout stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord, next to me is a scout from Liaodong, who has important information. ”
The scout next to him hurriedly stepped forward to report and said: "Lord, Yu Fuluo has surrounded Shenyang City, and cut off the communication between Liaodong and the lord, we sent many scouts who could not contact the lord, so they could only make a detour to report to the lord. ”
"In addition, when he was on the road, Yuan Shao launched a fierce attack on Liaoxi County." The scout said again.
"How many soldiers and horses did the Huns have? Is there an attack on other places? Zhang Yu asked again.
Yuan Shao took advantage of Zhang Yu's danger to make trouble, which made Zhang Yu a little surprised, this Yuan Shao didn't even want his face.
This is a suspicion of collaborating with foreign enemies, which is a very serious crime in this era.
But Yuan Shao did.
However, Yuan Shao's strength is huge, and even if he does this, others will not dare to do anything to him.
Zhang Yu learned some more things.
"This group of people is attacking me in a group to destroy me, but unfortunately, you are going to be disappointed." Zhang Yu was really angry.
At this time, the scouts didn't know that the Jiangdong region had also launched an attack on them, but the various rumors and scouts before knew about it and reported it to Zhang Yu together.
These rumors sound like they were deliberately fabricated, and their effect is needless to say.
Zhang Yu is good at using rumors, but he didn't expect someone to use this trick against him this time.
"Speed up the south."
Zhang Yu and the others continued to hurry, and now it was useless to say anything, so they could only rush back as soon as possible.
When Zhang Yu was in a hurry, Cao Cao, who had not taken any action, suddenly summoned his core members and held a meeting in secret.
"Intelligence shows that Zhang Yu is indeed trapped in the grassland, and he may also face a great crisis." Cao Cao said to a group of men.
Everyone fell into deep thought, if this matter is true, and Zhang Yu really has an accident, then they must take action.
"Lord, we can plan for the worst outcome, Zhang Yu is deep in the grassland, it is very dangerous, we should prepare early." Xun You came out and said.
Cheng Yu also nodded, then stood up and said: "Zhang Yu has no heirs, once something really happens, it will inevitably be chaotic, and when the time comes, all parties will pounce on it, and it will be carved up." ”
The two important strategists agreed that Cao Cao had already made a plan, Cao Cao was far from Jiangdong and Liaodong, and there should not have been much reaction, and Zhang Yu's rise and fall did not have much conflict with him.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Let's operate according to Zhang Yu's life, Zhang Yu will definitely be our great enemy in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to hit him hard." ”
At present, I have not received any news about Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu went out with an army of more than 100,000 people, and there is a great possibility of survival.
Everyone understands that this time Cao Cao is also going to fall into the well and step on Zhang Yu.
Cao Cao and Zhang Yu did not actually cooperate much, and both sides had their own dirt.
Cao Cao came to them, that is, if Zhang Yu was still alive and his strength was still there, how could he minimize the harm.
"Lord, we shouldn't directly clash with Zhang Yu, but we can't do nothing, the best way is to negotiate with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others to ask for some benefits." Xun You said again.
Several people began to discuss again, discussed for a long time, and summarized many suggestions, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, we will make a holy decree to condolence Zhang Yu, so that everyone in the world thinks that he is dead, and when Jiangdong and Liaodong are in chaos, they will definitely not be able to block the attacks of several parties, so we will take this opportunity to find a few other princes to blackmail the benefits." ”
"Haha, yes, even if Zhang Yu is still alive, he will have nothing to say at that time, but we will give him condolences, this is a great honor." Cao Cao said with a laugh.
Several other people also laughed, openly praising Zhang Yu, but secretly giving Zhang Yu a knife.
At this time, Man Pang said: "Lord, there is a problem here, generally the emperor gives condolences to his courtiers, and he has to be promoted or promoted, if Zhang Yu does not die by then, this is a little difficult to do." ”
"It doesn't matter, even if Zhang Yu lives, he will definitely suffer heavy losses at that time, and these losses are definitely more important than him getting an official position that has little practical effect." Cao Cao said.
Several people began to discuss what official position to give Zhang Yu again.
"Lord, it's better to add a Wei general, this Wei general has reached the level of the third duke, and only the general is higher than him, and the chariot and hussar generals are all at the same level as him." A staff member said.
No one objected to this proposal, because Zhang Yu was originally a second-rank general, and now although he is also a second-rank general, he is at the same level as the third duke, and it is in line with the practice to raise the first level.
Today's general, Yuan Shao's self-styled general, has the highest rank, while Yuan Shu is a general of the chariot cavalry, and Zhang Yu's General Wei is also at the same level as Yuan Shu, and the other ranks are not high.
Some of the others are state pastors with high status, and others are Cao Cao as prime ministers.
What status should have what strength, Zhang Yu has this strength, and there is nothing wrong with giving him the status of General Wei.
Moreover, Cao Cao's purpose was to trap Zhang Yu, and giving it did not have much practical effect.
If you don't give it to Zhang Yu, it won't have much impact on Zhang Yu, and if you give it to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is still like that, and you can't improve your strength too much, and it doesn't even have much impact.
Cao Cao decided to immediately ask Chen Lin to write a holy decree, and at the same time asked people to contact Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others immediately, so as to get the benefits first.
Selling Zhang Yu can exchange a lot of benefits for himself, and Cao Cao certainly knows how to do it.
Even if Zhang Yu is alive and wants to trouble him, what can he do, the two of them are far away.
Cao Cao couldn't do anything directly to Zhang Yu, and of course Zhang Yu couldn't directly do anything to Cao Cao.
In this way, Cao Cao decided to come down, and the first person to contact was Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao immediately agreed after receiving the news.
However, when Yuan Shao agreed, he was also unhappy, he didn't go to fight for the emperor at the beginning, but he didn't expect the emperor to play such a big role.
Depressed to depressed, at this time Yuan Shao immediately decided to increase the direction of Youzhou and increase the number of troops by 100,000 again.
In this way, Liaodong is even more dangerous, with the threat of 400,000 Xiongnu troops and the threat of Yuan Shao's army, it is indeed very dangerous to attack from both sides.
If it weren't for Zhang Yu making some arrangements in advance, he wouldn't have been able to stop it at all, but Zhang Yu didn't expect Yuan Shao to suddenly make trouble.
