Chapter 118: Yuan Shu Rises the Seventh Army
Let's say that after Cao Cao beheaded Yuan Shulai's envoy, Yuan Shu was furious when he heard it, and he wanted to attack Yanzhou again, but he was stopped by his subordinates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao has made sufficient preparations in Yanzhou, we can't take any advantage. At this time, it is better for us to attack Sizhou. "A strategist.
Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Sizhou has many generals, how can it be easily attacked?" β
"Your Majesty, now the Taoist people have just retreated, the troops in Sizhou are scattered, and there are only some Praetorian Guards in Luoyang City, if we take Luoyang directly, we will definitely be able to succeed!"
Yuan Shu thought for a while, and then said: "Prime Minister Baiyu is my friend, he was framed by the King of Han for no reason, I heard that he has not woken up yet, and he should take revenge!" Yuan Shu's eyes were shining, the corners of his mouth were slightly upward, and he had two mustaches on his face, which looked extremely treacherous.
A kind of strategist and military generals on the side also laughed.
"Take revenge!"
The next day, Yuan Shu set up the seven-way army, went straight to Luoyang to surround it, and played the slogan "Capture the king of Han alive and avenge the prime minister".
The news of Yuan Shu's use of troops spread to all directions at a very fast speed, and it can be said that at this time, there are countless people staring at Yuan Shu. And he, even with the initiative who dared to find death, was really hopeless!
When the news reached Luoyang, Jia Xu found Xun Yu unhurriedly, both of whom were ministers of real power in Luoyang, and they had already received the news at this time.
Xun Yu naturally knew Jia Xu's intention, and after the two were polite, they chatted about business.
"Wenhe" Xun Yu said with a smile: "Now the prime minister's injury, although there are some eyebrows, it can't be healed in a short time. Yuan Shu has already usurped the throne, and in the name of revenge for the prime minister, he came to attack Luoyang, isn't it ridiculous. β
Jia Xu also smiled and said softly: "It's really ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" β
"Wen He already has a plan in his heart, why are you looking for me?" Xun Yu smiled very lightly, very lightly, but his face was already smiling.
Jia Xu didn't have any dissatisfaction, and said slowly: "Yuan Shu is arrogant, can't distinguish the situation, and wants to take advantage of the instability of our state to take Luoyang." There is something merit in his idea. However, what he did was too stupid. β
"Seven roads, seven piles of rotten grass, heh." Xun Yu said lightly.
Jia Xu nodded and said: "What Wen Ruo said is good, Yuan Shu threatened to raise 700,000 troops, but in fact it will definitely not exceed 500,000, and he will divide his troops into seven routes, hehe, he is really a person who has no rules and regulations." β
"Recently, General Zilong is in the merger, and it is becoming more and more severe, I must always pay attention to the merger, this time Yuan Shu's soldiers, and Lao Wenruo!"
Xun Yu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Recently, I have been really busy, the prime minister has been saying that he wants to prepare for the second examination, but he has always been delayed, and this examination must not be delayed." β
"So, it's better for Wen and you to think more about it!"
Xun Yu said with a smile, his eyes were shining, and so was Jia Xu opposite, with an abnormal look in his eyes.
A few words sounded like an ordinary conversation to other people's ears, but the two of them heard too many things from each other.
Also, why did Jia Xu look for Xun Yu? And took the initiative to let Xun Yu preside over this war?
It stands to reason that this is an excellent opportunity for meritorious service, why are Jia Xu and Xun Yu resigning each other?
That's a bit unusual.
"Alright, so be it."
Jia Xu got up with a smile, didn't say anything else, turned around and left.
There was a meaningful smile on the corner of Xun Yu's mouth, which seemed to be a sneer, and it seemed to have a deep meaning.
Jia Xu came suddenly, and he walked in style.
Perhaps, except for Xun Yu, no one can understand the fundamental purpose of Jia Xu's personal visit this time. Even, no one could understand the conversation between them. A few simple words, ordinary, how many people can understand the deep meaning contained in them?
Yanzhou, Cao Cao's mansion, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xiahou brothers and other civil and military generals gathered here.
Obviously, what they studied was also the matter of Yuan Shu's army.
"In the name of avenging Prime Minister Bai, Yuan Shu wants to capture Luoyang and capture the King of Han, tell me, is this a good opportunity?" Cao Cao said with a smile.
Xiahou said angrily: "Yes, this is a God-given opportunity!" β
When everyone saw Xiahoudun like this, they immediately laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Isn't this a good opportunity for the lord to say? What's so funny! Xiahou said.
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Tell me what kind of opportunity this is?" "Cao Cao is in a good mood now, and he wants to tease this tiger general.
Xiahoudun thought that this was Cao Cao testing himself, so he raised his spirit and said loudly: "Yuan Shu, this thief, raised a seven-way army, and wanted to capture Luoyang, then his hometown at this time must be empty, we can just take advantage of the weakness to enter and break through Yuzhou in one fell swoop." β
"Lord, can you tell me what I said right?" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao proudly, and everyone who watched laughed again, Xiahoudun darkened his face and said, "What are you laughing at, am I not right?" β
"Yes!" Cao Cao laughed and said, Xiahoudun straightened his neck and said, "Then, what are you laughing at?" β
"Hahaha!"
There was another laugh, Cao Cao waved his hand, everyone stopped, Cao Cao turned his head and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you tell Yuan Rang!" β
Guo Jia got up and said loudly: "Yuan Shu's Seventh Army will definitely be defeated if it takes Luoyang!" We ......"
"Wait!" Xiahoudun asked suspiciously: "Yuan Shu has an army of 700,000, Luoyang City can only have 100,000 Praetorian Guards, plus Bai Yu is still unconscious, they have no leader, how can Yuan Shu be defeated?" β
Guo Jia smiled slightly and explained: "Yuan Shu claims to be 700,000, but in fact it is only 500,000. Of course, the strength of the force is not the main thing. β
"So what's the main thing?"
"The general trend!"
Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shu thought that in the name of avenging the prime minister, he could confuse people's hearts, which can only be said that he was too naΓ―ve." He arrogated to be the king, and he had already committed a great taboo. If you dare to attack Luoyang now, you will be self-defeating. β
"Yuan Shu is doing this, he is forcing the world to destroy him together."
"This time, he raised troops in seven ways to attack Luoyang, which seems to be a vast soup, but in fact it is vulnerable."
"Now that the King of Han is still orthodox in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu will definitely be attacked by a group if he does this. When the time comes, needless to say, an army of 500,000, even an army of 1 million, will not be able to save him. β
"Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Sun Ce of Yangzhou, and we, will definitely raise troops to besiege Yuan Shu, at that time, who will belong to Yuzhou, it is difficult to say. Therefore, we should not rush to take Yuzhou. Moreover, Yuan Shu will also strengthen the defense of his lair. β
Xiahoudun asked, "Then what should we do?" β
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Xuzhou! β
