Chapter 377: Who Eats Whom
Chang'an, inside the General's Palace. At this moment www.biquge.info in Cao De's study, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Zhao Yun gathered together, discussing countermeasures for the war in half a year!
Cao De took out the letter that the mysterious man brought a few days ago, and Cao De also saw the surprise that Jia Xu and the others should have.
Yes, no one thought that he was alive and living comfortably. He is Dong Zhuo, who was spurned by the people of the world and requisitioned by the people of the world.
In that year, after Dong Zhuo suffered a crushing defeat, he encountered Cao De's cross-strait attack in Luoshui, and the undecided Dong army was defeated, and Dong Zhuo immediately gathered a part of the cavalry and fled north in a hurry.
By the time Dong Zhuo returned to Hanoi City, Dong Zhuo had already become a flower child. Fortunately, Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, who were stationed in Hanoi, were still loyal to Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo had the opportunity to endure and quietly caress his wounds in secret, looking forward to the opportunity to take back everything that should have belonged to him!
But now, the opportunity has come. This opportunity is that the princes from all walks of life are preparing to crusade against Cao De.
The princes of all walks of life crusaded against Cao De, no matter who analyzed it, Cao De's chances of winning were not great. However, Dong Zhuo sent a covenant to Cao De.
In fact, Dong Zhuo has a very favorable condition in this war, that is, Dong Zhuo's annexation of states.
If Yuan Shao wants to fight Cao De, he must borrow the road, and if he borrows the road, there are three roads: Bingzhou, Luoyang and Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is in the hands of Yuan Shu, and it is understandable for the elder brother to borrow the way of the younger brother, but we must not forget that the two brothers are not on the right path. Moreover, if Yuan Shao wanted to make a detour from Yuzhou, the distance to march would be more than half of the distance. Therefore, Yuan Shao gave up the road in Yuzhou.
Next up is the Luoyang area. First of all, Luoyang is the territory of the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Shao wants to clean up Cao De for the Son of Heaven. But Luoyang is Cao Cao's territory.
Although the two brothers Cao Cao and Cao De have each achieved great things. But the relationship between the brothers is not as stiff as the brothers of the Yuan family, and Cao Cao has not expressed his attitude in this war.
Yuan Shao didn't know who Cao Cao would help in the end. If your army walks into the Luoyang area and is made dumplings by the Cao family's buddies, then you will have a lot of fun. This thing is typical, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
So, for the sake of insurance, let's not leave Luoyang.
In this case, there is only one way for Yuan Shao. That is to go and merge states. Because Dong Zhuo was busy trying his courage incognito, all the princes in the world didn't know that the master of Bingzhou was Dong Zhuo, and they all thought that Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, who had no ability to do it, had been struggling.
And the reason why Bingzhou can still be surnamed Dong is also because Niu Fu and Hu Zhen are not good. The surrounding area of Bingzhou is Cao De, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
In Cao De's opinion, he had just taken Liangzhou and Chang'an, and he didn't care about the soldiers if he moved troops to Bingzhou. you, Cao De wants to slow down for a while.
Cao Cao, Cao De knew that Bingzhou was poor, poorer than Yanzhou when he finished the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao controlled the Son of Heaven and needed a rich place, so the state was ignored by Cao Cao.
And Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao didn't look at Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. A soft persimmon, don't be in a hurry to pinch it, or gnaw a bone to cushion your stomach first!
And it is precisely because of these coincidences that Dong Zhuo was fortunate to witness an earth-shattering battle!
As for Dong Zhuo not falling to Yuan Shao, but choosing Cao De, Dong Zhuo also has his own considerations.
Among the princes from all walks of life, although Yuan Shao's power is the strongest now, the first ones to start are Dong Zhuo and Cao De. Moreover, Cao De can also be regarded as half self-made, and he has rapidly developed his strength and grown. is also similar to Dong Zhuo. In addition, look at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, almost most of them are with the help of the power of the family, so that they can have today's glory. Therefore, Dong Zhuo can be said to have sympathy for Cao De, but Cao De doesn't like Dong Zhuo very much.
Now, if Yuan Shao wants to fight Cao De, he needs to borrow from Bingzhou. Yuan Shao ran along the southern part of Bingzhou all the way to the east bank of the Yellow River, what a long supply line this was, and what a favorable opportunity to kill Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo planned to take advantage of the war between Yuan Shao and Cao De on the Yellow River to cut off Yuan Shao's supply line and block Yuan Shao from behind. Then Yuan Shao really has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. There is only one dead end.
If this is really the case, Dong Zhuo will be able to avenge the revenge of the year. The reason why Dong Zhuo was ready to go to war was that Yuan Shao defeated himself in the decisive battle under Xingyang City that year. Because, when Cao De was the leader of the alliance, the fifteen-way coalition did nothing, and as soon as Yuan Shao came to power, he was defeated!
In fact, this is just a reason, a reason to attack Yuan Shao. Back then, why Dong Zhuo failed, no one would look for the reason, but only look at the result!
That's why Dong Zhuo said to Cao De, I'll give you a big gift, Yuan Shao's head!
If Dong Zhuo and Cao De really formed a two-sided attack, then Yuan Shao was very embarrassed. Neither is it advancing or retreating. As long as Yuan Shao is defeated, then this time, the coalition army that crusaded against Cao De will be scattered, and it will not be able to become a big climate.
Yuan Shao, a big family, is the macho man with the thickest arms. Yuan Shao's role in this alliance is to take the lead in the big brother. Yuan Shao was defeated, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others lost their backbone, and their soldiers and horses were just roasted braised pork for Cao De!
And this is also the reason why Cao De was a little happy after seeing Dong Zhuo's letter.
However, Xu Shu's words reminded Cao De well.
Dong Zhuo is not an ordinary person. The person who can start from scratch and get the first to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes cannot be underestimated. Especially after experiencing a fiasco and quietly dormant for a period of time, no one knows what the current situation is with Dong Zhuo.
Lying on the salary and tasting the courage, suffering from the unbearable suffering of ordinary people, to remind yourself at all times, to warn yourself. And this more extreme method has created either a great person or a madman.
If Dong Zhuo becomes a madman, it is not terrible, it only needs to be a little tricky. If Dong Zhuo's heart really changes drastically, and Lao Ji is in flux, then Cao De and Dong Zhuo will cooperate with it, and the danger will be great.
What is Dong Zhuo's scheme, I can't believe his words. If Cao De and Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Shao, and Cao De went to attack Yuan Shao's Jizhou again, and Dong Zhuo repeated his old tricks, wouldn't Cao De also be very dangerous.
Even if it was, Cao De was fortunate to escape Dong Zhuo's encirclement and interception, at that time, who knew where Yuan Shu and Liu Bei fought.
Therefore, Xu Shu reminded Cao De that he couldn't trust Dong Zhuo too much, he was very dangerous.
But Cao De smiled and said: "It's just a matter of using each other, it's really hard to say who eats whom!" ”
