Chapter 318: "Great General", Yuan Shao

"On May 28 of the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Xie's first policy was written. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yuan Shao, after the famous family, the pillar of the country. In the second year of the first peace, he called the world's righteous army and crusaded against Dong Zhuo ....... Today, His Majesty has crowned Yuan Shao as a general, the Marquis of Lingxian! Chin this! ”

Yuan Shao looked at it, and said to his subordinates: "Everyone, look at this holy decree, whether I accept it or not!" ”

This holy decree was not read by the little eunuch from Luoyang at all, and Yuan Shao's soldiers directly snatched the holy decree from the little eunuch and presented it to Yuan Shao. The little eunuch who came to deliver the message was also very interested and hurried back to Luoyang.

In this time and space, Liu Xie did not send an edict to all the princes asking for help, but Cao Cao took the initiative to meet him. Therefore, Yuan Shao has not yet come and has to worry about whether to save the driver, so he has to worry about whether to accept this holy decree.

"Lord," Tian Feng stepped forward. "This edict can be accepted, the lord is a general, and the soldiers in charge of the world and the crusade against the princes from all walks of life are not justified."

"Definitely!" Xu Yu is out of the ranks! Xu You and Tian Feng have always been opposed. "Whether the master or not is a problem! Does the lord think that this edict really means the Son of Heaven? Therefore, when the lord took it, he recognized Cao Cao; If the lord does not answer, Cao Cao will call on the soldiers of the world to crusade against the lord on the grounds that the lord does not respect the Son of Heaven! ”

"In that case, then it's up to me to think about it!"

Yuan Shao has a good background and good knowledge, but Yuan Shao has a problem that he loves to hesitate.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's consideration is five days. Five days later, it was reported that Cao De not only received the holy decree, but also gave the Son of Heaven 300,000 pieces of grain and grass, 10,000 pairs of armor, and countless other things.

Yuan Shao was stunned, couldn't this Cao De see the meaning of this holy decree. However, after Yuan Shao summoned his subordinates, under Xu You's analysis, Yuan Shao understood what Cao De meant, this is you two brothers singing double reeds.

Yuan Shao finally made up his mind, let's also send something to the Son of Heaven, but this holy decree, let's refuse it on the grounds of shame and Cao Cao's official position.

Now Yuan Shao's official position is still the prime minister of Yan State, and according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister of the vassal states needs to be appointed by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. Although Yuan Shao's prime minister was forcibly asked for by Liu Xie, from a legal point of view, Yuan Shao is still subordinate to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Xie can reward Yuan Shao.

But Yuan Shao refused, and if he refused, he would refuse. Cao Cao didn't expect Yuan Shao to accept the edict.

Today's Yan Kingdom is already a behemoth across the three states of Hebei, but Liu Yu, the king of Yan, has only a small Zhuo County, while Yuan Shao, the prime minister, occupies Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Now Yuan Shao's goals are only three places, and Xuzhou, Youzhou and Xuzhou.

Yanzhou is no longer Yuan Shao's dish, because as early as when Cao Cao was busy cleaning up Luoyang and rebuilding Yongle Palace, Cao Cao sent Cao Ang, Cao Hong and Li Dian to lead troops to take Yanzhou. Moreover, Cao Cao also got two tiger generals in Yanzhou, Xu Chu and Dian Wei!

When Cao De and Cao Cao parted ways and returned to Hanzhong on the banks of the Luoshui River, Cao Ang offered his resignation to Cao De. I want to go to Luoyang to help my father.

Cao Ang has been studying at Nanzheng Academy for nearly four years, and now Cao Ang can be regarded as a postdoctoral fellow. And Cao Ang, who has achieved success in his studies, also wants to show his edge in this troubled world.

At first, in order to protect Cao Ang from Cao Ang's untimely death, Cao De let Cao Ang enter Nanzheng Academy. Now, Cao Ang is leaving, and Cao Desi finally decides to let Cao Ang go back after thinking about it, because Zhang Ji's whereabouts are now unknown.

Cao Ang went back, and also took Yanzhou with Cao Hong and Li Dian. Yanzhou became Cao Cao's territory, so Yuan Shao could only cancel Yanzhou in his plan.

Xuzhou, since Tao Qian died in battle outside Qinghe City, the Han court did not accept the state pastor in time. Therefore, the current Xuzhou is governed by Biejia, Zhizhong and Tao Qian's son.

Therefore, although all the princes coveted the wealthy Xuzhou, the current Xuzhou was nothing more than a defenseless beauty in their eyes. But if you don't appease your wife at home, no one dares to go out and steal fish. Therefore, Xuzhou is still relatively safe now.

The current Xuzhou is a beautiful woman in front of the prostitutes, as long as anyone dares to hand over the claws in advance, they will definitely be divided by the crowd. However, there is one person who is exceptional, and that is Liu Xie. Therefore, Yuan Shao still wanted to leave the cake behind to eat, but in the end, Liu Xie took advantage of it. No way, after all, people are still the son of heaven, the controller of the Han.

Now Yuan Shao's main enemies are Gongsun Zan in the north and Cao Cao in the south. Now from Yuan Shao's standpoint, if Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan are concerned, Gong Suo Xinyu is undoubtedly much weaker than Cao Cao. First of all, Gongsun Zhan is not as big as Cao Cao's territory, and his soldiers and generals are far inferior to Cao Cao; Secondly, there is still a Cao De behind Cao Cao, and the war between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu has never ended in recent years.

The total of 60,000 or 70,000 troops on both sides could almost run through the entire Zhuo County, Guangyang County and Yuyang County with their eyes closed. When Liu Yu couldn't stop Gongsun Zhan's attack and retreated, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses came, and then Gongsun Zhan's troops withdrew in order not to clash with Yuan Shao.

And Gongsun Zhan's run will often retreat to the middle of Yuyang County. At this time, Yuan Shao's troops and Liu Yu's army will have conflicts over turf.

Yuan Shao was angry and withdrew his troops. Gongsun Zhan immediately took the opportunity to drive Liu Yu out of Guangyang County, and sometimes occupied one or two cities in Zhuo County by the way.

Now, the situation of you coming and I retreating, and I retreating and you advancing has lasted for nearly two years. Although the 40,000 troops under the command of Gongsun Chan have been trained one by one after two years of war, they have become strong and strong, but Gongsun Chan has reached the point of exhaustion. Moreover, the current Gongsun Zan is weaker than Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, who lived in Bingzhou, so Yuan Shao thought that the time had come.

Jizhou was originally a state with strong soldiers and rich people, although Jizhou's wealth was extremely unfavorable because of the Yellow Turban Army's Zhang Jiao's trouble, coupled with some of Yuan Shao's policies later, Jizhou is now very powerful.

After Yuan Shao took Qingzhou, Yuan Shao's strength has grown a lot, so now Yuan Shao's army has reached a terrifying more than 200,000, and the generals under his command are nearly 1,000.

At present, in terms of troops, the most muscular one is no longer Cao De, but Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao sent troops, and 100,000 troops gathered on the border between Bohai County and Hejian Kingdom and Youzhou. As long as Yuan Shao gives an order, the 100,000 army will be divided into four roads, march in unison, and storm Gongsun Zhan!

In these four armies, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He, as the leading generals, led the army respectively. And Yuan Shao himself is the last army to lead the Chinese army.

Just when Yuan Shao's army was preparing to act, suddenly spies from the west of Jizhou who were monitoring Niu Fu and Hu Zhen came to report that a detachment of men and horses had come out of the Taihang Mountains, and they had nearly 5,000 people. Moreover, their clothes were even more tattered.

However, when Yuan Shao received this news, he didn't pay attention to it at all, but once again focused on the upcoming big war.

Taihang Mountain is very big, and there are countless people in it who want to escape the war. A 5,000-person horse dressed in tatters would not attract the attention of Yuan Shao, the prime minister of Yan State.

Therefore, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan went to war.
