Chapter 124 - The Outbreak of the Battle of Guandu

Cao Cao looked at the letter in his hand, glanced at the people kneeling in front of him, and frowned.

After listening to the narration of the people who knelt down in front of him, Cao Cao also understood that the letter he was holding in his hand was written by Sun Fu himself.

However, for Sun Fu, a member of the Sun clan who was not famous, Cao Cao had no impression in his mind at all.

He didn't know why Sun Fu wrote to him at this time, but he knew that what was written in this letter must be a pitfall.

After opening the letter, Cao Cao read it carefully, and confirmed his guess.

It's a pit!

At this moment, the confrontation between him and Yuan Shao has reached a critical time, and this unknown guy even wrote to him and asked him to send troops to rescue.

I have to say that Sun Fu's face is really thick.

After all, for Cao Cao, this letter was just written by a nobody, and he dared to let people hand it to him.

Shaking his head, Cao Cao asked the people who came to deliver the letter to go down to rest.

After the visitor retreated, Cao Cao put aside the letter he was holding and rubbed his forehead.

In his mind, he didn't want to send troops at all, after all, his troops were placed in the place of Guandu at this time.

However, I have to admit that intervening in the land of Jiangdong at this time happens to be the best opportunity, and he is faintly unwilling to let go of this opportunity in his heart.

Because he doesn't know if there will be such an opportunity next time.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao sighed and ordered Guo Jia and Xun Yu to be summoned.

After Guo Jia and Xun Yu arrived, Cao Cao handed the letter placed on the table to the two: "What do you think I should do?" ”

Xun Yu took the letter handed over by Cao Cao, unfolded it and glanced at it, his brows furrowed.

After reading what was written on the letter, Xun Yu handed the letter to Guo Jia beside him.

After Guo Jia glanced at the payment on the letter, he chuckled disdainfully, picked up the wine jug on his body and took a sip.

After letting out a moan of enjoyment, Guo Jia shook his head: "I won't read the book written by the unknown!" ”

After Xun Yu heard Guo Jia's words, his brows furrowed even more, and he glanced at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw Xun Yu cast his gaze, and after thinking about it slightly, he nodded at Xun Yu, and agreed that Guo Jia would not look at it.

Seeing Cao Cao nodding, Xun Yu folded the letter, handed it back to Cao Cao, groaned, and said, "What does the lord think?" ”

Cao Cao was slightly silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth to say what he thought.

Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's words and knew that Cao Cao's real idea was to send troops to intervene in Jiangdong, but he was dragged by Yuan Shao, so he was unwilling to send troops.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

The only thing he had to do at this time was to give Cao Cao the idea of not sending troops.

Glancing at Guo Jia beside him, Xun Yu wanted to know what Guo Jia's thoughts were, but don't just firm up Cao Cao's idea of not wanting to send troops, Guo Jia bewitched Cao Cao to send troops again.

Yes, what Xun Yu thinks about is the word bewitchment.

Although it is clear that Guo Jia is not a person who can't distinguish priorities, he is not afraid of 10,000 in everything, only in case.

Who knows if Guo Jia will drink too much and then have a brain pump?

Guo Jia felt Xun Yu's gaze, and naturally knew what Xun Yu was worried about.

He shrugged his shoulders slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "Nameless, don't bother!" ”

"The most important thing at this moment is how to deal with Yuan Shao!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to Cao Cao, and said his thoughts: "Lord, you must not send troops to Jiangdong at this moment!" ”

Although the land of Jiangdong at this time seemed to be in turmoil, it can be seen from his letters that it was only a matter of time before Sun Quan put down the Jiangdong Rebellion. At this time, if we send troops, not only will we disperse our troops and give Yuan Shao an opportunity to take advantage of, but also offend Sun Quan's side. ”

"Once Sun Quan quells the Jiangdong Rebellion, I guarantee that he will not intervene when our army fights with Yuan Shao!"

"At that point, it's dangerous!"

"And if we don't send troops, then Jiangdong is in turmoil at this time, and how can we get the intention to intervene when our army is fighting in Yuan Shao, but it can ensure the stability of our army's rear!"

After a pause, Xun Yu saluted Cao Cao respectfully, and then continued: "So my lord, you must not send troops to Jiangdong at this time!" ”

"Otherwise, we will be attacked on both sides!"

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao fell silent.

He had to admit that what Xun Yu said was very reasonable, and now the real crisis on his side was Yuan Shao, and it was indeed unwise to provoke Sun Quan in Jiangdong at this time.

After making a resolution in his heart, Cao Cao took a deep breath, and then picked up the letter on the side and threw it into the brazier on the side, watching it burn into a cloud of ashes.

"Well, at this time, you should indeed pay more attention to Yuan Benchu!"

"As for the people who came to report the news, I haven't seen them yet!"

After saying that, Cao Cao waved his hand at Guo Jia and Xun Yu and signaled them to retreat.

After Guo Jia and Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's words, they knew that these people who came to report the news were afraid that they would never appear in this world again after today.

After saluting Cao Cao and saying goodbye, the two turned around and walked out.

……

At this time, Liu Bei stayed at Yuan Shao's place, thinking that he had finally fooled the two righteous brothers beside him, for fear that he would serve others, if so, how could he realize the ambition in his heart, so he couldn't help worrying day and night.

Yuan Shao saw that Liu Bei was troubled all day, and couldn't help asking, "Why is Xuande always worried?" ”

Liu Bei heard Yuan Shao's question, and hurriedly saluted him, with tears in his eyes, and responded: "The two righteous brothers don't know the news, and the wife is young and trapped in Cao thief. ”

After listening to Liu Bei's answer, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and then said to Liu Bei: "Xuande is worry-free, I want to enter the army to go to Xudu for a long time, Fang is warm this spring, just to raise the army!" ”

After the words fell, Yuan Shao summoned his advisers to discuss the strategy of breaking Cao.

Tian Feng learned the news that Yuan Shao wanted to enter the army, and admonished him: "Before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Xu Du was empty, and he should have entered the army at that time, but now Xuzhou has been broken, and the army under Cao Cao is sharp, and the enemy cannot be underestimated!" ”

"It's better to hold on for a long time, and then you can move it when there is a gap!"

Yuan Shao was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Wait for me to think about it!" ”

Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shaoqi's heart was shaken, and hurriedly spoke: "Cao Cao is a thief who deceives the king, if the Ming Duke does not ask for it, I am afraid that he will lose the righteousness of the world!" ”

After Yuan Shao heard Liu Bei's words, he also felt that Liu Bei's words were reasonable, so he nodded to him: "Xuande's words are very good!" ”

So at the instigation of Liu Bei, Yuan Shao decided to raise troops to fight against Cao Cao, but Tian Feng knew that he did not have an advantage over Cao Cao at this time, so he could only admonish Yuan Shao from time to time.

Yuan Shao heard Tian Feng's admonition, and was furious in his heart: "You and others make me lose my righteousness!" ”

After listening to Yuan Shao's angry reprimand, Tian Feng immediately cried at Yuan Shao and said: "Lord, if you don't listen to the good words of the ministers, it will be unfavorable for you to become a teacher!" ”

Yuan Shao only felt that Tian Feng's words were a curse for his trip to send troops, and he was furious in his heart, and he pulled out the sword at his waist to behead him.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yuan Shao.

Under his persuasion, although Tian Feng escaped with his life, he was still ordered by Yuan Shao and imprisoned in prison.

Seeing Tian Feng in prison, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

He knew that Tian Feng was imprisoned today, and he was likely to suffer the same treatment tomorrow.

After sighing lightly, he gathered the people of the clan, scattered all the family wealth, and said goodbye to everyone: "I will go with the army, and if I win, I will be powerful, and if I lose, I will not be safe!" ”

After the words were finished, Fu Zhu shook his head and prepared to go to the prison to see Tian Feng first.

Everyone looked at the back of the departed and thought about what he said, and they couldn't help but shed tears.

At this point, the battle that affected the pattern of the north began to unfold in Guandu......
