0185 The Beginning of Contradictions (Part I)
As soon as Yuan Shao heard Yuan Shu say this, the fire in his heart immediately burst out, what? Give me 5,000 elite soldiers and send me like that? Isn't this like begging for food? I'm your eldest brother, I'm not here to ask for food, and I'm not here to be bored, and now you see that I'm down, so you mock me? With only 5,000 people, what great things can be accomplished?
Although Yuan Shao is angry now, but his mind still maintains a trace of calmness, and in anger, he thinks about it again, he has no soldiers and horses under his command now, it is considered to be the end of the road, except for Yuan Shu, the younger brother, no one else will help him, if he turns his face against him now, then what should he do in the future? Who will come to his aid? Yuan Shao warned himself that now is not the time for him to turn his face with Yuan Shu, and he has to endure it first if he is angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So Yuan Shao stopped the anger in his chest, calmed down his excitement a little, and said to Yuan Shu: "Highway, you... I... I know that you really want to help your eldest brother now, and the reason why your eldest brother has fallen to this point is also to blame yourself and blame others.
This time I plan to capture Xuzhou, it has been planned for a long time, this expedition, we must go all out and take Tao Gongzu down, only in this way will the losses be reduced to a lower level, if there is a tug of war with Tao Gongzu, then it is equivalent to giving him time to ask for help everywhere, in this way, we can be passive! ”
Yuan Shu thought of this, and also secretly thought, although Yuan Shao is usually arrogant, but what he said today is quite reasonable, if he goes to attack Xuzhou, the road is not smooth, and then gives Tao Qian time to ask for help everywhere, it is really not a good result.
Yuan Shu secretly said, now he occupies Qingzhou, and Jizhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are connected, belonging to a corner of the country, if he can take Xuzhou, then Sun Jian, who is in Yangzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, can echo with him, once there is something, it is convenient to dispatch.
Although Sun Jian has occupied Jiangdong recently, the army is strong and strong, and there are few disputes, all kinds of fighting and annexation in the Central Plains, Sun Jian's shadow is generally not seen, and the current Jiangnan can be described as a pure land, and the loss of father and son can be said to be quite smooth in Jiangnan.
However, the current Yuan brothers still think that Sun Jian is still their subordinate, and he is still a subordinate of their Yuan family, once something happens, he still defaults to Sun Jian as a party in his camp, so neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shu treats Sun Jian as an equal.
However, the current Sun Jian is very different from the past, Sun Jian's two sons Sun Ce and Sun Quan are both literary, talented, and martial, and have won Sun Jian's true biography, and have become Sun Jian's right-hand man.
After Yuan Shu thought for a while, he said to Yuan Shao: "Big brother, you're right, this war, no matter what time it is, you have to go all out, I think that at the beginning, when you and I and Hanwen wanted to attack Jizhou City together, didn't you suffer this loss?"
Nearly 100,000 troops, stationed in the place where the two places meet, stunned for several months, still not fighting, such a long time, the momentum of the soldiers has come down, if we didn't suffer at that time, in the future, you will still have that desperate, all your strength to capture Jizhou City? ”
Yuan Shao has bitterness in his heart, but he can't be angry at Yuan Shu, because he understands Yuan Shu's temper, and he is also an arrogant person in terms of personality, but, in the previous time, he has been pressing him by himself, maybe for a long time, his heart is a little unhappy, so when he helps himself, he is not very happy, and he can't complain about others, his younger brother, he touches his temper, who let himself treat others like that before?
Yuan Shao saw Yuan Shugu talking about him left and right, so he said bluntly: "Highway, since you understand, then we should be more cautious this time, right?" Although Tao Gongzu is old and frail, and his mind is a little dim, he still has 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command after all.
Tell me, if you give me 5,000 elite soldiers, can you beat them? When the time comes, I will personally lead these 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Xuzhou, although it will be a little smooth at the beginning, but when I arrive in Pengcheng, the main force will not be easy to deal with! ”
Yuan Shu knew in his heart that Yuan Shao was disgusted with the few soldiers he gave him, but he was so wealthy, and now the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou were about 50,000, and Yuan Shu also had an ambitious plan, he had already prepared to garrison Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
It's just that in the previous time, because Yuan Shu's mind was not firm, coupled with Cao Cao in the west, Liu Jing in the south wanted to go south, so Yuan Shu had been cautious, so he never made that determination.
Now when Yuan Shao mentions the matter of attacking Xuzhou, in fact, Yuan Shu's heart is still a pity, because once Yuan Shao occupies Xuzhou, although their brothers have a mutual dependence, but his Yuan Shu's mind will be in vain.
At that time, he Yuan Shu resisted Liu Jing in the north, and faced Yanzhou in the west that could be occupied by Cao Cao at any time, both of these people were strong and powerful, and they were not very good at talking, so at that time, his Yuan Shu's situation was even more passive.
In fact, the current Yuan Shu hates him a little bit, what does he hate? First, I hate the strength of this big brother.
I think that at the beginning, your soldiers and horses were strong and appealing, Han Fu occupied Jizhou, you occupied Bohai, and he Yuan Shu occupied Qingzhou, what kind of strength did the three forces exist? At that time, Liu Jing and Cao Cao had just arrived in the fiefdom, and the foundation was still unstable.
Moreover, Liu Jing in Youzhou has another hidden danger, that is, Gongsun Chan who is in Beiping, what kind of person is this Gongsun Zhan, everyone knows that he is brave and good at fighting, and he is good at finding trouble, as long as you use it properly and instigate him to fight with Liu Jing, it is not a difficult thing.
If at that time, Yuan Shao gathered him Yuan Shu and Han Fu to capture Youzhou in one fell swoop and drive out Liu Jing, it was not impossible, if that was the case, the three of them would be able to sit firmly in North China, and the strength would not be something that a mere Cao Cao could resist.
And then the goal of recuperating and recuperating is not difficult to achieve, so Yuan Shu feels a little annoyed when he thinks about it, after a toss in the past six months, Yuan Shao has completely lost Jizhou, and it has become Liu Jing's world.
And Cao Cao is also ready to go, has captured the state, and people are also good at recruiting troops, recruiting wise men, and making a good reputation, now, the Central Plains has become Liu Jing and Cao Cao's racecourse and martial arts training ground, and their Yuan brothers are cowering in a small Qingzhou, which is very shabby.
