Summer 199 A.D.

The princes Cao Cao wrote the world.

In the text, Cao Cao admitted his mistake of disobeying the imperial court, acknowledged the legitimacy of the imperial court, and Qin Ye's status in the imperial court. Accusing Yuan Shao of being a national thief, being confused by him, hoping that everyone else would be able to withdraw from the alliance. See Yuan Benchu's ugly face clearly and be a loyal and righteous person.

It seems that Cao Cao only pointed the finger at Yuan Shao, and he would not offend everyone.

Cao Cao took the initiative to withdraw all his troops from Qingzhou, and these troops were invested in the attack on Xuzhou.

When the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

You must know that all the princes in the world are afraid of Qin Ye, unite to resist him, and accuse him of being a national thief. Now Cao Cao has withdrawn, and he has openly admitted his mistakes.

In this way, it is not a question of the princes withdrawing from the alliance. It's that the whole wind has changed.

……

Luoyang.

The development of events was unexpected by Yuan Shao.

Originally, Cao Cao didn't move, but Yuan Shao thought that because of the pressure from himself and the members of the alliance, he should have fallen silent, or he had endured humiliation.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all, and this is a silent force, which broke out in silence and was out of control.

"Ming Gong, please send rescue troops quickly!" Chen Deng looked very tired.

Yuan Shao was angry, "Yuan Long, as the leader of the alliance, I must not sit back and watch a treacherous person like Cao Cao appear in the alliance." You go back and tell Tao Envoy Jun that I will immediately send troops here, and we will crusade against Cao Cao together and correct the name of the righteous people in the world. ”

Chen Deng saw that Yuan Shao said so categorically, things must have developed for the better.

After Chen Deng left, Yuan Shao said to his subordinates: "Qin Ye's army was transferred to Qingzhou earlier, and I plan to transfer the army of Huguan and take Cao Cao in one go." ”

Tian Feng immediately walked out, "Lord, the soldiers and horses in Huguan must not be moved lightly, so as not to be taken advantage of by Qin Ye." ”

Yuan Shao frowned.

At this time, Guo Tu stood up and refuted Tian Feng's judgment, "Tian Junshi's words are wrong, if our army can't fight with all its might, it will be difficult to get rid of Cao Cao in a short time." And now, Xuzhou is in danger, if Cao Cao breaks through Xuzhou, the alliance is gone. ”

Moreover, Cao Cao took the initiative to give up his occupation area in Qingzhou, and he must have made peace with Qin Ye. In this case, if our army cannot quickly eliminate Cao Cao, it will become extremely disadvantaged. Qin Ye's army was transferred to Qingzhou, and it will take a certain amount of time to return, and if we don't fight the time difference, we will lose the opportunity. ”

Guo Tu faced Yuan Shao and said confidently: "My lord, as long as you seize the place along the river north of Guandu as soon as possible, Qin Ye will not dare to face my Huguan." The combined forces of our army and the highway lords, almost 300,000 troops, can't even do this? ”

Yuan Shao felt that Guo Tu's analysis was reasonable, he only needed to seize a ferry north of Guandu, but he could threaten Qin Ye's Yecheng, in this case, Qin Ye would never dare to attack Huguan with all his might.

Tian Fengjin said: "The situation in the north is still unclear, and the army must not be moved lightly. ”

Guo Tu said: "Cao Cao is treacherous, if the lord does not crusade immediately, the allies will be centrifuged, and the righteousness will be lost in the world." ”

At this time, Feng Ji said: "If you don't do your best, the counties you get will all belong to the highway lords." ”

As a result, Yuan Shao did not adopt Tian Feng's suggestion.

Tian Feng paused and said: "The lord doesn't listen to the ministers, and it's not good to be a teacher!" ”

Yuan Shao was furious, "Before my army comes out, you will shake the heart of the army!" ”

He summoned the sergeant and wanted to put Tian Feng in prison.

Fu Zhu stood up and pleaded, "My lord, since Tian Junshi has a preface, it is better to let him make meritorious service and guard the pot pass." He secretly signaled Tian Feng to stop talking.

Yuan Shao did not severely punish Tian Feng in the end.

So, after Yuan Shao was defeated by Qin Ye in Jizhou, he poured everything he had and raised 60,000 troops out of the tiger prison.

Tian Feng was depressed and left the official office, looking up to the sky and sighing, "If you win, you will be powerful, and if you lose, you will lose your foundation." ”

Guo Tu secretly reported this sentence to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was furious, so he went to write a letter to the general Gao Gan of Huguan, asking him to arrange for Tian Feng to feed the horses.

After Yuan Shao got out of the Tiger Prison, he got Cao Cao's inscription.

This made Yuan Shao furious, so he sent someone to Yuan Shu according to the previous plan. It was agreed that after converging at Guandu and cutting off the connection between Cao Cao, Yuzhou, and Gunzhou, they would attack Yanzhou.

Cao Cao also had a plan on his side, pretending to be caught off guard, and the mobilization of troops was a step slower, and Yuan Shao occupied the strategic Guandu area. He had no choice but to annex the southern part of Guandu and assume the posture of guarding Yuan Shao.

In this case, Yuan Shu's army of 200,000 calmly marched from Qiaoxian County to Guandu.

At this point, the two princes of the Yuan family joined forces, and the strength of the army almost reached 300,000, and the world was shaken.

This time, the two Yuan joined forces, showing the world the terrifying power of the fourth and third princes' families, and also reflected the unity of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. This is a shot in the arm and a stimulant for the Tianxia Shi clan who are committed to eliminating Qin Ye.

Yuan Shao held a banquet and invited Yuan Shu.

During the banquet, Yuan Shao took Yuan Shu's hand, "Brother Highway can come in person, I am very relieved." After this war, the general trend of the world, my Yuan family made a decision. ”

Yuan Shu suddenly felt disgusted, he had been disgusted for decades, but fortunately, this time, he came with a plan. Yuan Shu brought an army of 200,000, while Yuan Shao had only 60,000 troops, with Cao Cao as an ally. Yuan Shu was full of confidence that Yuan Shao would completely replace him in this battle.

People say that he Yuan Shu does not want to make progress in Huainan, don't you know, it is a blockbuster.

"What Brother Ben Chu said is very true, the general trend of the world, my Yuan family will make a decision." Yuan Shu raised his glass and drank it all.

Yuan Shao did not doubt that he had him, and he also drank it all.

It was getting late, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked like they had just drunk.

Frustrated, he couldn't help but stand up.

"Sir, is there something going on?" Yuan Shao put down his wine glass and said.

"My lord, looking at Cao Cao's troops, there are only 20,000 people. It is powerless to stop our army, but it needs to beware of night attacks. Frustrated said solemnly.

Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, looked at the sky, and was a little embarrassed, got up and said, "Highway, what Mr. Fu said is very true." You and I will prepare for war, and we will win tomorrow, and it will not be too late to drink. ”

In fact, Yuan Shu had already wanted to leave, and he was afraid that Yuan Shao would suspect him. As he was leaving, he glanced at him.

Therefore, before the war, Yuan Shao, who was full of confidence, still maintained considerable vigilance and ordered the whole army to wait for the day and beware of the enemy's night attack.

And on this very night.

The Cao army camp on the southern edge of Guandu.

"My lord, everything is arranged. When our army launched a night attack, Yuan Shu would act against Yuan Shao. Guo Jia walked in and said excitedly.

Cao Cao looked at the other person in the tent, this person was Qin Ye's envoy, that is, Qin Shui, the third spy of the Qin army.

Said: "There will be an attack tonight, and after you win, you can go back and tell your lord that he can attack and merge the state." ”

In the early hours of the next morning.

Yuan Shao, who was sleeping in the big tent, was awakened by the shouting of killing, and hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the outer tent, just in time to meet Gao Ran.

"Lord, Cao Cao attacked our army's camp at night!" Gao Ran was not a little panicked, but with some excitement.

"How's it going?" Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.

Gao Ran said happily: "Under the order of the lord, our army is waiting for the day, so the first time to discover the enemy's night attack, and now the situation is under control. ”

Yuan Shao laughed, "Sure enough, as Mr. Fu Zhu expected, go and inform Yuan Highway and let him send troops to attack Cao Jun." ”

At this moment, Yuan Shao was excited, he knew that after the battle tonight, Cao Cao would not have the strength to resist his attack. Yanzhou, Xuchang, at your fingertips.
