Chapter 252: Two Tigers Compete for Food

Vertical and horizontal, vertical and horizontal.

The most unreliable are the allies who come together because of the combination of interests, so that the interests intersect and the benefits are scattered.

And Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are two such allies, although they are allies, they guard against each other.

Perhaps, Yuan Shao has always regarded Cao Cao as his follower brother back then, so when Cao Cao takes Yanzhou and leads Yanzhou, he will be a fierce rival who dominates the world!

Cao Jun is strong, waiting for Guo Jiazhi, fighting in the south and north, without a defeat, it has been less than a year, from sending people under the fence, thousands of soldiers and horses, to developing to sitting on a land of thousands of miles at this moment, with hundreds of thousands of armor, how can Yuan Shao not be shocked and guarded?

War is not just about bravery.

The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.

Although Yuan Shao was fighting fiercely with Gongsun Zan at the moment, he had no time to send troops south, but as soon as he made a move, it was a fatal blow!

went to the army to conspire, Yuan Shao sent lobbyists to Yanzhou to lobby, and he had a three-inch tongue to lure the wealthy families of Yanzhou to rebel, and the seven counties of Yanzhou had fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao at this time!

Take its wealth, seek its land, cut off its food, just this blow, Cao's army is turbulent!

Of course, Cao Cao's soldiers don't know where the crisis is, and only people like Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia will know the stakes.

Take his wealth, the wealthy families of the four counties rebelled against Yuan, and they must have carried out heavy grain and grass, and the war horses and ordnance funded Yuan Shao, and for Cao Cao, the wealthy families of the four counties could not get a trace of money and food, and in this way, Cao Cao could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, otherwise what else could Cao Cao do? Desperate with Yuan Shao? Or did they rob those wealthy families?

After all, the money of the wealthy family is all private, and people can give it to whoever they want, how can they let Cao Cao call the shots.

What's more, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still allies at this moment, if Cao Cao comes forward to obstruct it, he will make Yuan Shaoshi famous, of course, Cao Cao can also act secretly, but it is just a drop in the bucket.

Seek its land, cut off its grain, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the land annexation was serious, it can be said that most of the land is in the hands of the wealthy family, the family has defected, Cao Cao has no grain to collect, although Yanzhou has not changed hands, Cao Cao, the Yanzhou pastor, but also exists in name only.

What's more, the wealthy family has not only grain and grass, but also people and horses, and strong men!

In order to evade taxes, most of the people are tenant farmers in the wealthy families, which can be said to be choking their throats.

You don't even have people, how can you recruit soldiers? If you don't even have land, how can you collect grain?

Half of the seven counties in Yanzhou have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao.

Money, soldiers, food.

It will only be supplied to Jizhou in a steady stream, not to the Yanzhou pastor, Cao Cao, who exists in name only.

Although such a situation was within Guo Jia's expectations, he did not expect it to come quickly.

"Is it because our army is like a bamboo, and it has the potential to swallow the Central Plains? Or, because of Guo's appearance, you have become no longer indecisive? Guo Jia suddenly laughed at himself and said, "Perhaps, you have never been indecisive......

The defection of the wealthy family was already expected by Guo Jia, Cao Cao and others, and it is not surprising that Yuan Shao was able to persuade the wealthy family of Yanzhou by only sending lobbyists.

Those wealthy families will never choose Cao Cao, whether it is because of the general trend of the world or their own selfish interests.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, although they secretly disagreed, they were already hostile, but how could they allow Cao Cao to sit big? Yuan Shao is stupid, mentally retarded, he is also a hegemon, not to mention that Yuan Shao is not stupid.

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had contradictions, seeing that Cao Cao was big, Yuan Shao would naturally use Yuan Shu to weaken Cao Cao's strength, and the same was true for Yuan Shu.

The younger brother of the year will always be the younger brother, at least, in the eyes of those wealthy families.

Just like the general trend of the world, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Yuan family's power from Hebei to Henan, until the Yangtze River, with a million, although the two have a rivalry, but no matter who wins and who loses, how can it be Cao Cao's turn to achieve a hegemony?

The wealthy family is not stupid, so they can naturally see this, and although Cao Cao has Yanzhou, he can't pee in the same pot with the wealthy family.

Yuan Shao is playing class rule, under Yuan Shao, the wealthy family will always be superior, but here in Cao Cao, what he is playing is the rule of law, and the prince and the common people are guilty of the same crime, how can they be the same?

Yuan Shao has been overwhelming, the Yanzhou family does not dare to compete with it, in the has been tempted, naturally the family is close, but Cao Cao's means are contrary to the concept of the family, a counterattack, just a matter of time, in addition to some other reasons, such as the Yuan family's protΓ©gΓ© and former officials......

Therefore, with Yuan Shao's assets, it is not difficult to persuade the wealthy families of the four counties of Yanzhou to rebel, just like at this moment, it can be said that it is as easy as a finger.

"Go to the army to fight, and then fight and fight." Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had already guessed in his heart that Yuan Shao had already made a move, and it would definitely not be such a simple land plot.

Because Guo Jia knows that as a hegemon, especially a hero who wants to achieve hegemony, what he needs is to have everything under control, and at this moment, Yuan Shao is no longer able to control Cao Cao, and even beware of Cao Cao.

Even if Yuan Shao brought all the wealthy families in the four counties of Yanzhou over, there were still 300,000 soldiers under Cao Cao.

300,000 soldiers are no longer as simple as being able to influence the general trend of the world, but a powerful strength that can dominate the world.

"Nanlian Yuan Shu?" Guo Jia calculated in his heart, and suddenly laughed at himself: "Perhaps, Lu Bu's rebellion was provoked by Yuan Benchu." ”

"I thought that Lu Buqi's attack on Yanzhou was originally Yuan Shu's plan, but I never thought that this matter might be inseparable from Yuan Shao." Guo Jiaxin is on the reins, but his mind is turning rapidly, maybe Guo Jia has the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, but in history, Lu Bu's surprise attack is also likely to be done by Yuan Shao.

Lu Bu's battle against Cao Cao is like two tigers competing for food, who wins and who loses, all that is consumed is the fundamental strength of Yanzhou, so the only person who reaps the benefits of the fisherman is Yuan Shao.

When Guo Jia thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, if he wasn't reborn, how could he be like a god.

But I also sighed, the book contains, can not be fully believed, history, is a little girl who can be dressed up, there are many heroes and heroes in the Three Kingdoms, such as a carp crossing the river, as many as a cow's hair.

Guo Jia suddenly thought of the last goodbye to Yuan Shao in the past, Yuan Shao once said that Cao Cao had no more than 10,000 soldiers, but he was in the Central Plains, surrounded by tigers and wolves.

And Yuan Shao's attack, whether it was Yuan Shu in the south or luring the princes of other roads to seek Yanzhou, was a strategy for the two tigers to compete for food, and at that time, Cao's army was in danger.

Yuan Shao has planned to attack it, take the four counties of Yanzhou, the strength of Cao's army has been sharply reduced by at least five layers, and it has been attacked, and the two tigers are competing for food, and it is not yet known whether Cao Cao can survive this wave.

Before the army was raised, just two plans have caused Cao's army to be in a desperate situation, and it has been overwhelming, and this is the case.

"Land of the Four Wars...... The Land of the Four Wars. Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh loudly, the rise of Cao Cao's army in the early stage was not as simple as imagined, just like at this moment, a thousand shots.

Dian Wei followed Guo Jia's side, and when he saw Guo Jia suddenly sighing, he couldn't help asking, "Sir......"

"Ugh. Nothing, nothing, just emotion. Guo Jia eased his nerves, looked around, and realized that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and at this moment, the three armies were not far from the Wei River.

"At the moment of the great enemy, the strategic layout can only be delayed, and the key is to break Yuan Shu first." Guo Jia knew the priorities in his heart, not to mention that Yuan Shao's two tricks could not be easily resolved overnight.

"......" Dian Wei was speechless, he and Guo Jia also got along for a few days, although a little strange, but also a little emotional, he knew that Guo Jia did not know when he would enter a state of whimsy, or maybe it was foresight, but so, as if the spirit was out of the body, and the mind traveled to Kyushu.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and asked again, "How is the battle situation in Weihe?" ”

Dian Wei arched his hand and said, "Mr. Yu, the two thousand Yuan Shu army defenders of Weihe have been broken by the Xun army division. ”

Guo Jia asked again: "How about the battle damage?" ”

Xiahou Yuan led Cao Chun's generals to attack the defenders of the Weihe River before, although it was a great victory, and led the army to cross the river, but it did not completely annihilate the officers and soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, and there were still thousands of enemy troops in the downstream camp.

If Xun You wants to lead the army across the river, he will have another fierce battle with the defenders of the Wei River, Guo Jia also knows that the soldiers Xun You has attracted are only about 5,000, and the troops are stretched.

Dian Wei said with a smile: "Our army only lost a few hundred soldiers, and the enemy army has been completely annihilated. ”

"He is worthy of being a Gongda brother, and he really uses soldiers like a god." Guo Jia smiled with relief, thought for a while, and said, "Can it be a fire attack?" ”

Dian Wei replied, "Yes." ”

Guo Jia bowed his head, knowing in his heart that Yuan Shujun was guarded, and Cao Jun could have such a big victory, it must be a plan, and Guo Jia also calculated in his heart, expecting that Xun You must have broken the enemy with fire.

"Where is Gongda leading the army to go?" Guo Jia looked sideways and asked, at this moment, he wanted to lead the army across the river, and after staying in Weishui, it would not take long for him to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shujun, and the position of the soldiers introduced by Xun Yu was the most important thing.

Guo Jia only needs to know the route of Xun You's army, and he can deduce what strategy Xun You wants to use to break the enemy, and in this way, Guo Jia can cooperate with him and plan the way to march.

Dian Wei arched his hand and replied: "Go straight to the left flank of the enemy." ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Brother Gongda uses troops like this, he must have calculated that Guo will lead the army to come in person." ”

Dian Wei said with a smile: "The two gentlemen both have the talent of the heavens and the earth, and they will conspire in this battle to break the enemy!" ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, and replied: "On the day of the decisive battle, not today, Zhou Gongjin will see that our army is surrounded on three sides, and he will definitely stand still. ”

After hearing this, Dian Wei asked again: "Sir, in this way, if the enemy army in Yuzhou is supported, and I am afraid that General Cao's headquarters will be attacked by the enemy, won't our army be in danger?" ”

General Cao refers to Cao Ren.

"Yes and no, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and there will be gains if there is giving." Guo Jia smiled faintly, and said: "Zhou Gongjin and Yuan Highway also know this truth, there are so many changes, the two sides have advantages and disadvantages to each other, and the gains and losses of advance and retreat are still to be explored before the battle." ”

Dian Wei arched his hand and said: "Wait until the enemy is in front of the formation, the last general is willing to provoke Sun Bofu to fight, and he has waited for a good opportunity to kill him on the spot!" ”
