Chapter 243: Su Chen sent troops to Qingzhou
After Yuan Shao received Tao Qian's letter asking for help, he wanted to send troops, but the strategist Xu You suggested that he should not offend Cao Cao ruthlessly, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that Cao Cao would turn against him, Yuan Shao also felt reasonable, so he gave up the plan to send troops.

Yuan Tan received Tao Qian's letter for help, and directly came to Xuzhou with an army of 50,000, in Yuan Tan's opinion, this is a good opportunity to unite Tao Qian to deal with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao learned the news of Yuan Tan's troops, and also acquiesced in his approach.
Cao Cao never expected that Yuan Tan, the erector, would dare to rescue Tao Qian, he was originally angry and angry, and committed a taboo in the soldiers, coupled with Yuan Tan's army to help, Cao Cao could not break through Xuzhou for a while, but was exhausted of grain and grass, and had to retreat back to Yanzhou.
Cao Cao was quite dissatisfied with Yuan's father and son, thinking of Su Chen in Youzhou, so he wrote to Su Chen, wanting to form an alliance with him and jointly deal with Yuan Shao, Su Chen thought that this might be an opportunity, so he sent someone to agree to Cao Cao.
The two sides only formed a verbal alliance, and Su Chen promised to attack Pingyuan County when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the second time, cutting off Yuan Tan's back road, and Cao Cao expressed his gratitude.
After Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, he raised grain and grass, and after a month, he sent troops to Xuzhou for the second time, Yuan Tan was still in Xuzhou and did not leave.
After receiving the news of Cao Cao's troops, Su Chen immediately ordered Zhang Liao to lead the Han Ying light cavalry to attack the plains.
Yuan Tan learned that Pingyuan was lost, and immediately asked Yuan Shao for help, Yuan Shao learned that Su Chen had attacked Pingyuan County, and issued an order in the name of the imperial court to reprimand him.
Cao Cao came to attack, Kong Rong also sent a part of the reinforcements to rescue Tao Qian, Su Chen has formed an alliance with Cao Cao, after occupying the plain, he personally led the troops to fight, ordered Zhang Liao to be the vanguard, and quickly attacked Jinan, the prime minister of Jinan asked Wang Xuan Bingyuan for help, but he didn't know that these two people had long been Su Chen's subordinates, after Wang Xuan led the troops into Jinan, he echoed with Zhang Liao inside and outside, opened the city gate, and let Zhang Liao enter the city.
Su Chen swept through Qingzhou with a large army, almost surrendering to the wind, it is no wonder, thinking that he did a lot for the people in Qingzhou to defeat the Yellow Turban, the people here still remember his reputation, Wang Xuan and Bing Yuan took advantage of the situation to fall under Su Chen, and Su Chen led the army to Beihai Kingdom.
Walking on the streets of Linzi City, Su Chen felt that the commercial atmosphere here was very strong, and it was more prosperous than Shanggu County, which was really an eye-opener for him.
He found that the people of Qingzhou were very supportive of his arrival, there was no tension of war in the streets, and as long as he defeated Beihai again, he would be able to occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou.
Thinking of the Liaodong Naval Division, which had been established for many years, he summoned Zhang He to order: "Junyi, you give Tai Shici an order, let him lead the Liaodong Naval Division to raid the Beihai Kingdom from the sea, and attack Kongrong with our army on the east and west. ”
"No!"
The Liaodong Naval Division already has a certain combat capability, especially with the addition of Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu finally took refuge in him, and he appointed him as the lieutenant general of the Liaodong Naval Division, and listened to it under the account of Tai Shi Ci.
After receiving Su Chen's order, Tai Shici quickly convened the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to discuss: "Everyone, this is an order from the Lord from Qingzhou, let our Liaodong Navy Division attack Beihai Kingdom from the sea, and you all express your opinions." ”
Nowadays, the Liaodong Navy Division can be said to be full of talents, in addition to Tai Shici, the main general, there are Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang three generals, and the younger generation has Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Lu Dai Five young generals, it can be said that the lineup is very strong.
In addition to these generals, the Liaodong Naval Division had 50,000 soldiers and soldiers, five five-story building ships, more than a dozen three-story building ships, and hundreds or thousands of small boats such as Mengchong, Xingge, and Chima.
Zhou Yu was new to the city, and he didn't know much about the situation of the Liaodong Naval Division, and he knew that it was not easy to attack the Beihai directly from Liaodong, which was different from the river, but to cross the bay, so he asked with some doubts: "Deputy Governor, the building ship is high, and it is easy to encounter wind and waves at sea, if you want to cross the sea and attack, will there be a danger of capsizing?" ”
Zhou Yu's question hit the nail on the head, and Tai Shici replied: "Gong Jin don't have to worry, the lord has already designed a ship type for the navy, named the sea boat, this kind of ship can withstand the wind and waves at sea, but it has not been built yet, this time we sent troops, and called the navy of the Pingguo base, from Liaodong Bay to the inland sea, the wind and waves are not big, even the building ship can withstand this wind and waves." ”
The Liaodong Navy Division built two bases, one in Xi'an Ping, and the other in Pingguo, that is, Liaodong Bay, Su Chen also knew that it could not be achieved overnight, so the naval base built in Liaodong Bay was built for inland fleets such as building ships, and the base built in Xi'an Ping was a model of a large ship.
Tai Shi Ci saw that everyone had no opinions, and immediately ordered: "After receiving the order of the lord and the army, the Liaodong Navy Governor's Mansion will be established from now on, the Navy Governor's Mansion and the Pingzhou Governor's Mansion are not subordinate to each other, and the Navy Governor's Mansion will be the Metropolitan Governor from today onwards, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang are the deputy governors, and Zhou Yu is the general of the Lou Boat, and the first battle of the navy is to attack the Beihai Kingdom, do you have any doubts?" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Tai Shi Ci reorganized his army for battle, went south from Liaodong Bay, and took Beihai directly, and Su Chen's army stayed in Qi and stood still for the time being.
Cao Cao learned that Su Chen swept half of Qingzhou in an instant, he was very shocked, and also stepped up the pace of attacking Xuzhou, in order not to let the senior cadres of Jizhou interfere, Guan Yu asked Guo Huai to lead the army to attack Jizhou, dragging Yan Liang's army, and in the north of Bingzhou, Gao Shun personally Chen soldiers Jingjing Pass, Gao Gan is like a great enemy.
Beihai Taishou Kong Rong learned that Su Chen's heavenly soldiers were coming, he was sincerely afraid, he knew that he was not the opponent of this hussar general who had been famous for many years, so he was ready to ask for help, but he looked for it, and found that no one could rescue him at this time, so he could only hand him a fold to the imperial court.
Yuan Shao was also very upset, he saw that his former brothers were separated from him one by one, and the princes of the world have become less and less interested in the Luoyang court, and he felt that it was not the best strategy to trap Luoyang, but he was worried that Liu Yu would make something for him, so he didn't dare to leave lightly.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Xu You thought of a poisonous plan for him, he persuaded Yuan Shao to buy the imperial doctor in the palace and poison Liu Yu, after Liu Yu's death, he set up the prince Liu He as the emperor, Liu He had no ambitions, and there was no need to worry, and then Yuan Shao could lead troops to go around to conquer the ministers.
The more Yuan Shao listened, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and immediately asked Xu You to do it himself.
