Chapter 262 Sun Ce's Ambition
However, it was said that Cao Cao retreated to Guandu, and although Yuan Shao lost Wen Chou, he also killed many Cao army generals, so he took Yan Liang as the vanguard and Zhang He as the rear army, and went straight to Guandu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The two sides fought several times in Guandu, and each other won and lost, and Yuan Shao's rear and state because of the Ma Teng reinforcements called by Cao Cao, so there was a mustard, but as long as the heart of the road captured Guandu, the road ahead would be unimpeded, and Ma Teng was in the state, and there was nothing to fear.
The soldiers of the army also thought that they should not retreat at this moment, which strengthened Yuan Shao's mentality of fighting a decisive battle with Cao Cao; was about to storm Cao's army, but the strategist said in frustration: "Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that Cao's army has limited food and food, and our army's logistics are sufficient, so I thought that Cao Cao would definitely withdraw from Guandu in March!" Why should Your Majesty compete with him for a while? ”
Yuan Shao thought that the whole army had the same hatred for the enemy, and every time only you and Tian Feng came to kill me, he immediately said angrily: "Frustrated, don't you think that I am not the opponent of Cao Agui?" ”
Guo Tu also sneered: "The former Tian Feng prevented His Majesty from becoming the emperor, but now it seems that it is nothing more than a fallacy; Zunjia has a close relationship with Tian Feng, why do you question the resolution of His Majesty and us? ”
Frustrated, he scolded: "Ignorant horseman! There are countless elites under Cao Jun, plus the troops of Lu Bu, Xun Gang and others, although the number is not as good as ours, but all of them are more powerful than thousands of troops, and there are more Xun Gang's 'fearless pioneers', and there are countless strange weapons. If Your Majesty really confronts Cao Cao head-on, I'm afraid that the odds of victory will be unpredictable! ”
"Ridiculous!" Yuan Shao took the case and looked at him angrily, "I raised an army to fight against the thieves, but the soldiers and horses did not move, but you killed me here to be majestic!" Whoever comes, will be dragged down by me, and you will not be released unless you have my military order! ”
The frustrated professor still wanted to argue, but Guo Tu on the side insisted on his own opinion and did not give the frustrated professor a chance to speak; Frustrated, he had no choice but to tie his hands and sigh: "I hope that the lord Chana Yayan, don't be hurt by traitors!" ”
Yuan Shao was furious, and wanted to order the killing of Fu Zhi, but fortunately, Feng Ji came forward to mediate, saying that it was really unfavorable to kill the general now, so Yuan Shao gave up.
During the discussion, it was suddenly rumored that Xu Yu asked to see him, and Yuan Shao was about to speak, but he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, it is rumored that Xu You's relatives are corrupt and bribery in Yecheng, if this person has any intentions, I hope the lord will think twice!" ”
Yuan Shaoli understood, and then asked Xu You to enter the tent, Xu You knelt down and saluted, and said with sincerity in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to break the Cao army." ”
Yuan Shao was noncommittal, and snorted lightly: "Let's hear it." ”
Xu You said: "It is rumored that Cao Cao's rear is empty, and Xuchang only has 5,000 defenders, so his cronies Cao Ren can be stationed; The minister heard that Liu Bei had been in Xuchang and wanted to break away from Cao Cao's rule at all times. We only need to repair one book, order it to create chaos, and then send two more generals to attack Xuchang and abolish the Han Emperor, and Your Majesty's plan can be accomplished! ”
Yuan Shao became interested: "Liu Bei is concerned about the Han family, how can he be used by us?" ”
Guo Tu said: "Liu Bei is concerned about the Han family on the surface, but he is actually a hypocrite, I am afraid that his ambition is greater than Cao Cao, and he will not live under the people for a long time!" Half of the words were spoken, but Guo Tu didn't want Xu Yu to take the credit alone, "However, Cao Cao is cautious by nature, is it easy to sneak attack Xuchang by detour?" We only need to defeat Cao Cao head-on, so why worry about Xu Chang? ”
Yuan Shao also seemed to have this intention, after all, the risk of such an action was too high, and he could not afford it if it failed.
Feng Ji also took the opportunity to sneer: "Ziyuan Yecheng's relatives are corrupt and bribed, now what face do you have to see Your Majesty?" ”
Xu Youming knew that the two of them didn't want to let themselves take the credit alone, and they sneered, secretly hated in their hearts, and said: "Your Majesty thinks twice, the minister's intention is not that we can't defeat Cao Cao, if we can reduce the losses of the soldiers as much as possible, wouldn't it be a good thing?" ”
Unexpectedly, after hearing Xu You's words, the original opposing judge actually said: "Your Majesty, Xu Ziyuan's words are not unreasonable, although Cao Cao is not defeated by His Majesty, but for the sake of prudence, it is better to send two generals to make a detour to attack Xuchang." ”
Seeing that the judge also said the same, Yuan Shao asked, "In your opinion, who can take on this responsibility?" ”
"Yan Liang needs to be guarded in Guandu, according to the ministers, this matter must be Zhang He and Gaolan!"
………………………………
However, it is said that Jiangdong Sun Ce has been partial to peace for several years, and now the soldiers are full of food, thousands of fighting ships, and Zhou Yu took Qiao Xuan's second daughter, Jiangdong Erqiao, and got the support of the scholars, and also the rear merchants and farmers, and has the potential to compete for the world. Sun Ce originally wanted to raise troops to attack Jiangxia Huangzu, and since he has opened up the battlefield in Jingzhou, he has come to avenge his deceased father Sun Jian.
To avenge Sun Jian, Sun Ce is actually not uncommon, after all, Sun Jian deliberately alienated himself at the beginning, so that now Sun Ce still has a psychological shadow. However, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the old ministers in Jiangdong, it is still necessary to avenge the death of his father.
In the hall of Wu County, only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were discussing the expansion of their power, and the sword pointed directly at Liu Biao. After all, to occupy Jingzhou and Yangzhou, is to occupy the entire Yangtze River, advance and retreat, and defend, no one in the world can compete.
And Liu Biao's subordinates lack good generals, although he is eloquent and strategic, but with the growth of age, he has become haggard and has become much more restrained. Now it seems that attacking Liu Biao is Sun Ce's best choice.
But there are exceptions.
"What did you say, sneak attack on Xuchang?"
Sun Ce's sudden decision almost scared Zhou Yu's heart out; You must know that Xuchang is far away in the Central Plains, thousands of miles away from Jiangdong, how easy is it to sneak attack?
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Bo Fu, although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are facing each other in Guandu now, with Cao Cao's caution, how could he not expect this?" Even if there are only a few thousand defenders in Xuchang, we can't lead too many soldiers and horses for a long-distance attack, so what can we do? It's better to think long-term! ”
Sun Ce insisted on his opinion: "Your Majesty is now detained by Cao Cao, and now Yuan Shao is called emperor, if he defeats Cao Cao, the Han family will be in danger, and everyone will stand on their own; If Cao Cao wins, the world will be turbulent, and Cao Cao will be dominant, how will we treat it at that time? ”
Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce's so-called protection of the Han Emperor was just a pretense, after all, in this world, how many fools would choose to protect a dynasty that was almost destroyed? Sun Ce wants to hold the Son of Heaven in his hand, just to facilitate future actions.
"Who and how many are you going to bring?" Zhou Yu finally relented, after all, he knew that he couldn't convince Sun Ce.
"The stakes are very high in this operation, and there should not be too many soldiers and horses, so we can only lead 3,000 troops deep behind enemy lines; As for the generals...... Gongjin, you need to guard Jiangdong, I only need to take Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai! ”
"It's too dangerous......
"Now Huainan is Cao Cao's territory, and a certain person originally planned to bring more soldiers and horses, but it will inevitably attract the attention of Cao Jun, and 3,000 people is already the highest limit......"
Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, it seemed that Sun Ce didn't understand what the danger in his mouth was at all.
"This matter needs to be discussed with General Cheng, General Huang, etc., after all, ......"
Sun Ce interrupted Zhou Yu: "What are you discussing?" Wait for them to veto me? Now the situation is urgent, the war is about to break out, if I wait for Yuan Shaobing to come to the city, I will wait and go, it will be too late! ”
Sun Ce's stubbornness has not changed for more than ten years; Zhou Yu had to sigh helplessly, looked at Sun Ce, who had a resolute gaze, and could only say:
"So be it......"
