Chapter 635: Gongsun Zhan's Defeat (Part II)
I didn't know that at this time, the news that Zhao Yun had joined the army under Yuan Shao had spread throughout Beiping City, and many soldiers who were jealous of Zhao Yun also said that Yuan Shao intended to encourage Zhao Yun to return to his command, and promised to give him a heavy position, and also secretly gave Zhao Yun a lot of gold and silver treasures.
Gongsun Chan couldn't help but be suspicious when he heard what these people said. Those soldiers who introduced Zhao Yun said good things for Zhao Yun, so the cadres were divided into two camps, one said bad things about Zhao Yun, and the other tried their best to defend Zhao Yun. Gongsun Zhan saw that the plan to deal with Yuan Shao had not yet come up with it, and everyone made a fuss about Zhao Yun first, so they couldn't help but be angry and shouted repeatedly. When everyone saw Gongsun Zhan's thunder and anger, they also reined in.
Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun Zhan is young and talented, not only quite wise, but also excellent in martial arts, compared to when his father Gongsun Chan was young, not only has better skills, but also looks at him with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his face is like a crown of jade, even the appearance is much better than Gongsun Zhan, who is known as a beautiful man.
is not only talented, but also handsome, such a child, Gongsun Chan naturally likes it very much.
At this time, Gongsun Xu suddenly walked out and quickly attracted Gongsun Zhan's attention. Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but look shocked, and asked expectantly, "What!?" Isn't there a countermeasure? โ
Gongsun Xu bowed his hand first, and then said with a condensation: "The child thinks that no matter how loyal this Zhao Yun is to his father, he is Yuan Shao's old department after all, and now Youzhou is in danger, and the so-called people's hearts are unpredictable and the sea is difficult to measure." What's more, Baima Congyi is the largest capital in the north, and it is better not to send this Zhao Yun to attack just in case. In addition, Yuyang is not only an important place in my Youzhou, but also a barrier, which cannot be lost. The child thought that Daddy should send a member of the squad to guard the town quickly, first, to appease people's hearts and stabilize the situation, and second, to strengthen defense and prepare for war! I wonder what Daddy thinks?
Seeing that Gongsun Xu is only in his early twenties, his remarks are orderly and reasonable. Everyone couldn't help but be secretly amazed when they heard this. After hearing this, Gongsun Chan couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, Xu'er is worthy of being the unicorn of my Gongsun family, what you said is exactly what my father wants!" โ
After that, Gongsun Chan immediately transferred according to what his son and grandson continued.
At the same time, it was said that Liu Bei, who had already returned to the plain, also heard that Gongsun Chan was defeated at the boundary bridge, and Yuan Shao led the army to press the Yuyang border in a big way.
"Eh..."When Liu Bei heard the scout's report, he let out a long sigh, then praised a few words, and then taught him to retreat.
"My lord, this is not the time for emotion. That Gongsun Boqi was stubborn and self-serving, refused to listen to persuasion, was narrow-minded, and ended up like this, all because of his own fault. In this way, the lord should be more concerned about how to expand his power, so as to accumulate the general momentum as soon as possible, sweep away the traitors in the world, and support His Majesty today and regain power! Seeing Tian Yu walking out, he shouted loudly. When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but look shocked, and said with his head bowed: "What the state has said is right, but since Cao Cao re-established Sheji in Luoyang, if the situation is delicate today, except for Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the princes from all over the country have stopped their troops and secretly watched the situation. What should I do? โ
When Tian Yu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly showed a bright smile and said, "Don't worry about it, lord. Now the lord is in the plain, and the Yuan family and Gongsun in the north are fighting fiercely, but they don't have the heart to wait for us. As for Qingzhou in the east, it is now being invaded by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and it is a good time for our army to expand its power. But before that, we must first ally with the Ma family in Yanzhou in the west, after all, the ghost god Ma Xi is too terrifying, and his fierce generals are like clouds, once he also intends to come to Qingzhou, we are definitely not his opponents. But wouldn't it be nice to ally with them, but if there is any, they can still ask for help? โ
As soon as Tian Yu said this, Guan Yu, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, immediately snorted coldly, and Danfeng's eyes shot out two brilliant rays of light. Zhang Fei rarely made a sound at this time, but was actually napping, and he was snoring from time to time.
"Ma Xi!?" As for Liu Bei, when he heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, and then hesitated: "Although Guorang is reasonable, I had friction with him at the beginning, and I was afraid that he would hate the old things and refuse to unite." โ
"The lord doesn't have to worry about this. Na Ma Xi had many enemies, and not long ago he forcibly broke into Hedong and injured Cao Cao's arm general Xiahou Yuan. And looking at this person's style of behavior over the years, he is not a short-sighted person, so he must be able to see the benefits and disadvantages of the two alliances! โ
Tian Yu said with a smile. When Liu Bei heard this, his mind couldn't help but flash Ma Xi's burly god-like figure, as well as his pair of eyes that were full of wisdom and sharpness as if he could see through people's hearts, and couldn't help but nodded.
It is said that at the same time that Tian Yu persuaded Liu Bei to form an alliance with Yanzhou Ma Xi, there was a person on the other side who received an invitation from Ma Xi to form an alliance. This person is Cao Cao, who is in Luoyang and now controls the power of the world behind the scenes.
In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao's face was dark and he sneered. And all the civil and military officers under his command were silent, some of them had extremely ugly faces, and some of them were bowing their heads in contemplation.
At this time, on the military general's seat on the right, one of them finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he got up angrily, and shouted: "Lord!" Miaocai was almost killed by Na Ma Xi this time, and I know that the situation in the court is undecided now, and it is not a good time to send troops for revenge!! But if I want the Cao clan to ally with it, the last general really can't accept this bad luck!! โ
Hearing this cheer, it was full of thick anger, and everyone couldn't help but look at it, it was Xiahou Yuan's cousin, and the first vanguard general of the Cao Army, Xiahou Yuan is also!
"Brother Xiahou is right!! Lord, that Ma Xi has always been cunning and insidious, this time he took the initiative to unite, I'm afraid I don't know what he has in mind!! The last general thinks that it is impossible to trust!! As soon as Xiahoudun's words fell, Cao Hong was also angry, and roared fiercely. In other words, the Cao family was originally from the Xiahou clan, which means that the Xiahou brothers are from the same clan as Cao Cao, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others. And the relationship between Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan is also very good, when he heard that Xiahou Yuan almost died, Cao Hong was furious and eager for revenge, but he couldn't stop it. If Cao Cao hadn't rushed to drink, Cao Hong might have really led him to deploy and kill Yanzhou!
"General Cao is angry. I thought it would be better to do the trick, but first the surface was false. After all, with my Cao family's situation now, it would be great if I could get the support of the Ma family. At this moment, a man in the counselor's seat suddenly opened his mouth and said. I saw that the man was wearing a Jinhua purple robe, a pair of beards upturned up, small eyes and broad face, thick eyebrows and thin mouth, it was the newly promoted Cao Jun staff officer full of favor.
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao, who had been silent and had a dark face, suddenly his eyes lit up, his face became excited, and he hurriedly looked at Xun Yu, who was sitting in the chief of the strategists, and cast an inquiring look. Xun Yu smiled, but turned his gaze to the man next to him. This person is quite similar to Xun Yu, but his eyes are a little colder than Xun Yu, it is his nephew Xun Yu. In terms of seniority, although Xun You calls Xun Yu his uncle, Xun You is a few years older than Xun Yu.
It is said that now in the Cao Group, the Xun family has two masters, one has become the chief military advisor, and the other has been the three military sacrificial wine (Xun You has taken the position left by Xi Zhicai), which can be said to be the two pillars of the Cao Group's strategists, and now it is even very prestigious in the whole world.
"Uncle is resourceful and has already made up his mind, so why ask me for advice?" Xun Yu saw Xun Yu coming, but said lightly unhurriedly. Xun Yu listened to it, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's good to listen to this opinion a lot, because he is a wise person like you, nephew." โ
When Xun You heard this, he didn't have any sรจ color, but his face froze, and he first bowed to Cao Cao, and then said: "I thought Man Boning's strategy was very good, after all, Ma Xi's ability, I believe everyone can see it, if you really want to rush into a big fight with this person, I'm afraid that even if my Cao clan wins, I will be peeled off three layers of skin by him, so that my vitality will be greatly damaged." Therefore, if you want to start a war with Ma Xi, you must think long-term! Moreover, according to the information from the Sima family, the wife of the Lu family has now fallen into the hands of Ma Xi! This is likely to be the opportunity for Ma Xi to let go of his past grievances and take the initiative to unite with my Cao family! โ
Xun You is in charge of the entire intelligence system of the Cao Group, and when everyone hears it, they all change color. Cao Cao had known it for a long time, and nodded silently in agreement.
"Lord Sacrificial Wine said this, but I don't understand a little, so why can the wife of the Lu family promote the opportunity for Ma Xi to unite with my Cao family?" At this time, one of the generals in the military general's seat suddenly asked.
Xun You snorted coldly, didn't look at the man, and replied quickly: "That's because even the ghost god Ma Xi is afraid of that man, in order to protect Yanzhou, he has to put down his body, take the initiative to make peace, and even express his willingness to support my Cao family!" โ
As soon as Xun You's words came out, those who didn't understand it suddenly reacted one after another. Because in the whole world, the only man who can make Ma Xi afraid is probably the evil god Lu Bu!
Although Lu Bu is a capricious and insidious villain, he is extremely fond of his wife Mink, and even betrayed Dong Zhuo and killed her for her back then. And if he learns that his wife has fallen into the hands of someone else, and that it is his sworn enemy Ma Xi, he will definitely be furious and will not hesitate to send troops to attack!
And his new lord Yuan Shu has always been cunning and shrewd, and now he is powerful in the Huainan area, and the nearby princes are secretly courting him to avoid military disasters. Therefore, Yuan Shu has long regarded himself as the overlord of the south, and has always had the intention of going north. However, Na Ma Xi has become a roadblock in Yanzhou, so this time Yuan Shudan will secretly be overjoyed when he sees Lu Bu sending troops, and while giving support such as baggage, troops, and armaments, he also raises troops and horses to prepare to invade Yanzhou. At this time, Xun Yu suddenly opened his mouth and made a series of additions for Xun Yu, and everyone suddenly realized.
The chief general on the military general's seat opposite, his eyes flashed, and he replied: "I see, that is to say, Ma Xi's current situation is extremely dangerous, so he has to show favor to my Cao family and seek unity?" โ
Everyone looked at and listened to this person's summary, and they all looked shocked. But seeing that this person has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a strong physique, wearing a golden silk and blue brocade dragon turtle robe, and a pair of eyes that are deep and powerful, and there seems to be an innate majesty all over his body. Such a person is Cao Cao, the head of the generals of the Cao Group today - Cao Ren is also!
