As soon as this sentence came out, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Xin Ping and others who were sitting below were all embarrassed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Yuan Shao's words seem to be praising Gao Ye's ability, he is also saying that all the people under him are inferior to Gao Ye. How can this arrogant counselor be convinced? Especially Xun Chen, he can be said to be the most familiar with Gao Ye among the people here, and he knows most clearly what Gao Ye has and what shortcomings he has. Seeing that he is now taking refuge with Cao Cao with his younger brother, he is quite unimpressed by Gao Ye's choice. He can give up his ambition to dominate the world and assist others when the army is strong and the situation is good, even Xun Chen admires this courage. It's just that this vision is really not good, and I don't choose high-quality stocks like Yuan Shao, but choose Cao Cao, I really don't know what to do.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao was no longer entangled in Cao Cao and Gao Ye, and once again locked his eyes on Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. He has now taken Jizhou, with sufficient population and abundant grain and grass. It also took the state and solved the problem of the source of soldiers and horses for the cavalry. Now as long as he can pacify Youzhou in one go, he will no longer have any worries, and he can go south with all his strength and compete with Yuan Shu. Fortunately, Cao Cao is still obedient to himself now, but Cao Cao himself knows it very well, and his ambition will never make him willing to be subservient. Therefore, his primary goal in going south is to kill Cao Cao.

As for Youzhou, he must attack, and once he comes, Gongsun Chan will never make peace with himself, let alone take refuge in himself. Although in the battle of Jieqiao, Ju Yi relied on 800 first-class soldiers to wipe out his Gongsun Zhan's nearly 10,000 cavalry troops, but Gongsun Chan has been in Youzhou for a long time, and there are still many soldiers and horses under his command, so he can't be underestimated at all. In addition, there is also a Liu Yu in Youzhou, who is not only quite talented, but also his two refusals to make him lose face. If he can't pacify Youzhou, he and Gongsun Zhan are a nail ambushed behind him all the time, like a fish in the throat, like a mang in the back, in such a situation, how can he go south with peace of mind and compete with Yuan Shu?

Moreover, Gongsun Chan had already put on a pair of pants with Yuan Shu at this time, and Yuan Shu announced a war with him, so Gongsun Chan immediately ordered Liu Beitun to go to the Tang Dynasty, and even Tao Qian from Xuzhou came to join in the fun. This is also another reason why Yuan Shao was reluctant to start a war with Cao Cao at this time, after all, Kong Rong, Tao Qian and other Qing and Xu soldiers and horses in the southeast of Jizhou still needed Cao Cao to contain them in Yanzhou. In particular, Yuan Shu in Huainan had to be used by Cao Cao's Yanzhou as a strategic buffer. At this time, Cao Cao, even if he did not implement the art of papermaking and did not become famous in the world, he would never start a war with him.

According to the information obtained by his subordinates from Yanzhou, for a while, the Yanzhou family changed from the original slightly supportive attitude to Cao Cao, not only to provide food and money, but also to send their own children to Cao Cao to run for a future. Among them, the most eye-catching is the big families in Yingchuan, the three of them did not react much when they originally took refuge in the night, but now, not only Zhong Xuan officially appeared in Cao Cao, but even Chen Ji arranged for his children to go to Yanzhou to serve. The Xun family even sent Xun You, the leader of the third generation, to Dongjun, and now Cao Cao's subordinates are described as full of talents, which is nothing more than that.

However, Cao Cao at this time was not as happy as Yuan Shao imagined, although it was a good thing to have more talents, but the matter of Tuntian still made Cao Cao unhappy. Although there are a lot of people available under his subordinates, Zao Yi is also a great talent, plus many talents he dragged from Gao Ye's subordinates, but in the face of 1.5 million yellow turban laborers, how big the workload is, can be imagined. When I saw Zao Yi a few days ago, he lost a lot of weight, and the official uniform that originally fit is now worn on his body, which has a feeling of being a monkey and a crown. In the final analysis, it was because Zao Yi had lost too much weight now, and Cao Cao, who watched it, was distressed, and persuaded Zao Yi to pay more attention to rest.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes, or the food in the high night, Yanzhou can be said to be smooth this year, coupled with the reasonable command of Zaoyi, all the counties in the southeast of Yanzhou have already had a bumper harvest, which also made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief. As long as this year's grain harvest can be harvested, he can be regarded as a real firm foothold in Yanzhou.

However, what happened next greatly exceeded Cao Cao's expectations. Although he pacified Yanzhou in this year and earned a great reputation, the imperial court issued an order to appoint Jin Shang, who was recommended by Yuan Shu, as the assassin of Yanzhou. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turned against each other because of a woman, Wang Yun was even more calculated, Dong Zhuo died, and the panicked Li Dao and Guo Yan counterattacked Chang'an under Jia Xu's suggestion, Lu Bu was defeated, Wang Yun committed suicide, and the two of them regained control of Liu Xie, the little emperor. At such a turbulent time, Cao Cao of Yanzhou actually did such a big thing, and the two of them were naturally uneasy when they heard it. After all, the princes of the Nineteenth Road were begging for Dong back then, and this Cao Cao was the most energetic one. Now that he occupies Yanzhou and has such a high prestige, who knows if he will fight Chang'an again? It happened that Yuan Shu was also worried that Yuan Shao had Cao Cao's help and his strength had risen sharply, so he showed Jin Shang as the assassin of Yanzhou, and Li Dao and Guo Yan also hoped to limit Cao Cao's development, and the two parties hit it off, which is why Jin Shang came to take office.

Speaking of which Jin Shang, he is not a nobody. He and the three people of the same county Wei Duan and the Fifth Patrol are not only outstanding in learning, but also have a word of rest in the table, so they are called three times off. But no matter how famous his name is, it is still not enough to face Cao Cao who has a heavy army. Besides, Cao Cao finally got to today's situation, how could he give Yanzhou to Jin Shang? Even though Jin Shang had a holy decree in his hand, he was still directly driven out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao and went straight to Huainan.

Because of this, Yuan Shu immediately raised troops, claiming to crusade against the rebel Cao Cao, and came to Yanzhou in a mighty way. Cao Cao, who heard the news, couldn't help but be shocked, now Yanzhou Tuntian, is at a critical juncture, seeing that there is another month, you can harvest, at this time Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses arrived, if you can't resist the enemy outside Yanzhou, this year's harvest is only afraid to be greatly discounted. Even if he wasn't snatched away by Yuan Shu, he set a fire, and what he burned was Zaoyi's hard work, the foundation of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao, who was about to send troops, heard another bad news. Wei County mutinied, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army took Yuan Shao's base camp Yecheng overnight, and Tai Shou Li Cheng died in battle. Yuan Shao, who was attacking Gongsun Zhan, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it. Fortunately, Yuan Shao is also a perennial leader of the troops, although he is angry in his heart, his face is as usual, and his command is determined, leading the army to return to Jizhou immediately, preparing to recapture Yecheng. At this time, Bai Huan, Zheng Gu and Yu Fu Luo of the Southern Xiongnu made a comeback and came straight to Dongjun. Cao Cao, who had no choice but to prepare to deal with the Black Mountain Army and many men and horses of the Southern Xiongnu who came straight to Yanzhou from the north, and Yuan Shu in the south was destined to meet the enemy at night. At the request of Gao Ye's dead face, Cao Cao transferred Yu Ban to Gao Ye as a deputy general.

Compared with Liu Ye, who was worried, Gao Ye seemed much more relaxed, preparing for the dispatch of troops on the one hand, and waiting for the arrival of Yu Ban on the other. There is a stark contrast between the leisurely face and the tired Liu Ye, and even Liu Ye doesn't know why Gao Ye can still smile so happily in such a dangerous situation.

"Ziyang, don't be sad every day, my good mood is gone."

"Okay, my Taishou-sama, do you think anyone can be as leisurely as you are now? Yu Fuluo's Southern Hun cavalry is now moving in the direction of Neihuang, and it seems that it is going to penetrate directly into Dongping. Yu Poison soldiers left Yecheng and went to Bendong Wuyang. Although the lord has already sent troops, it is difficult to guarantee that the war will not burn to all parts of Yanzhou, and when there is a problem in Tuntian, the situation of the lord in Yanzhou will be worrying. What's more, Yuan Shu in the south personally led an army of 100,000 people, and now he has arrived in Xia Cai, why don't you feel nervous at all? ”

"Haha, Ziyang, you are not in Yanzhou now, I don't know the situation in Yanzhou, and it is understandable to worry. If you want me to see, if Yu Poison doesn't come this time, don't think about going back. ”

Liu Ye saw that Gao Ye was so sure of what he said, and his heart was a little relieved, and then he asked about the situation in Yanzhou, and Gao Ye told Liu Ye the real situation of Tuntian in Yanzhou. "The biggest difference between the tuntian in Yanzhou and the tuntian in Yingchuan is that in every tuntian point, the system of integration of military and agriculture is implemented. These Qingzhou yellow turbans now not only have to farm, but also receive regular military training. Although it can't be compared with the combat power of the regular army, it is not easy for the Montenegrin army to deal with them. ”

"But what if Yu Poison contacts them to cause an incident together? After all, they're all yellow turbans. ”

"No, it won't. The reason why these yellow scarves are thieves is mostly because of natural and man-made disasters, lack of food and clothing, so they have to kill officials and rebel. Now in Yanzhou, not only can you eat well and live well, but you can also become a good citizen in a few years and be given land for cultivation. Good days are just around the corner, and unless they are crazy, they will rebel with Yu Poison. Now that the harvest in Yanzhou is imminent, Yu Poison will come to make trouble at this time, and he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Besides, the lord is very good at using soldiers, and there are Fengxiao, Wenruo, Zhongde, and Gongda, whether it is the Montenegrin Army or the Southern Huns, they must not be opponents. What's more, Yuan Shao was also rushing back to Yecheng at this time? ”

Liu Ye listened, and also nodded, since there is no problem with the battle line in the north, then only Yuan Shu in the south is left, to be honest, in fact, only Yuan Shu can pose a real threat to Yanzhou today. Now Gao Ye's subordinates only have 30,000 horses in addition to the sergeants guarding from all over the country, but Yuan Shu has a mighty army of 100,000. Liu Ye, who was quite worried, asked Gao Ye to bring Gao Shun with him, after all, Yu Ban was not famous at this time, unlike Gao Shun, because he fought against the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, and he became famous because he robbed the Dongguan collection from Luoyang. Therefore, Liu Ye felt that it was right to let Gao Shun follow Gao Yeqi and Yu Ban to help him guard Yingchuan.

However, Liu Ye's suggestion was rejected by Gao Ye. "It's enough for me to go. Yingchuan is a heavy land, and it is even more necessary to follow it to guard against Jingzhou soldiers and horses. Even if Yuan Highway has an army of 100,000 people, he himself is just a dry bone in the grave, so what is he afraid of! ”
