Cao Cao used Yang Mou.

This sudden change in Hebei, with Cao Cao's eyes, how could he not see that someone was secretly manipulating after this. Although there is no conclusive evidence to confirm who is half-cut off and ruined his good deeds. But if you think about it with your ass, you can't escape those people left and right.

Gongsun Zhan, who is assisted by Liu Bei, is counted as one. Liu Beijun almost won Yecheng before, and it really stimulated Gongsun Zhan's ambition for Jizhou, and this time he led a large army to attack, and Cao Cao was the biggest enemy in front of Gongsun Zhan. Although there has never been a major war between the two armies, small frictions are becoming more and more frequent, and the big war can be said to be on the verge of breaking out. However, after defeating Liu He, Gongsun Chan sat in charge of the seven counties of Youzhou, with the backing of his own clan, the largest and best horse farm in the Han Dynasty, and the heroes such as Liu Bei and his brother as his minions, whether it was military equipment or stored soldiers, it was not comparable to other forces that fell into the situation of Hebei, as long as there was enough time for Gongsun Chan to complete the deployment of troops, he could completely force Cao Cao back with Cao Cao on the Hebei Plain by means of head-to-head confrontation, and sit in the position of Yuan Shao. After thinking about it, he didn't give up the near and far at all, and tried his best to trick the Son of Heaven into supporting the son of the opponent to take the throne, this is a thankless and completely useless effort, is it possible to expect Yuan Shang to recognize his Gongsun Chan as his father after taking the throne? Besides, Gongsun Zhan's personality also made Cao Cao suspicious for a moment, and then he recognized that this time was definitely not like Gongsun Zhan's actions. When he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao had an intersection with Gongsun Zhan, a brave and resourceful Yan Zhao man. Nor is it like someone who can resort to such inferior means.

And looking at the skillful means of using such a trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, after ruling out Gongsun Zhan's "suspicion", Cao Cao's heart flashed in an instant that the name is still embroidered on the bottom of his robe. The countenance of a young man who did not dare to make himself forget.

Qin Xu! Just like Dong Cheng, Qin's reputation is really not very good in the hearts of several heroes around Qingzhou. But as long as it is not a good thing, even if there is only a trace of possibility, it will be reminiscent of people. At this moment, in Cao Cao's heart, Qin Xu was undoubtedly shot again.

Cao Cao has suffered too much from Qin Xu. Whether it is the battle of the nameless valley that belongs to Qin Xu's first battle, or the battle of defending Jinan. Cao Cao, who was proficient in military strategy, was defeated by his son several times; Under the city of Xuzhou, outside Chang'an. Even the strategy was also broken by this guy, if it weren't for Cao Cao's mind being strong enough, he would have been made like this by an unknown kid only a few times, and when he entered Chen Liu alone to take away his favorite talent Guo Jia. was scolded and didn't say anything. It is said that when he was about to leave, he also abducted a fierce general who was strong enough to be comparable to Lu Bu...... It can be said that over the years, Cao Cao's complex emotions towards Qin Xu, using an inappropriate analogy, are simply deep love and hatred, otherwise he would not have embroidered the name of such a young man who was the same age as his son on the bottom of his robe.

It is precisely because of Cao Cao's feelings towards Qin Xu that Cao Cao ruled out Gongsun Zhan's "suspicion". immediately paid attention to Qingzhou.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was afraid of the pressure of Lu Bu's army, and the target of Liu Bei's and Montenegrin coalition forces was unclear. He made an alliance with Lu Bu to divide Hebei equally. In fact, at the beginning, Cao Cao also had the time to abandon Jizhou, which is not directly adjacent to the Yanzhou base camp, to win the strategy and merge the state, and get involved in Youzhou's intentions. Moreover, he also sent Xun You, an envoy with sufficient weight, to and from the two states. And after Qin Xu left, he did help Jizhou, forcing Liu Bei, who coveted Jizhou with selfish intentions, and the Montenegrin army, who was panicked like a lost dog, had to survive in the gap between the two states. It can be seen that Cao Cao actually didn't want to tear his face prematurely with Lu Bujun, who was roughly the same strength.

But as Lu Bu was injured and retreated to Yecheng, Qin Xu then transferred all the Lu Bu garrisons in Yecheng, making Jizhou, a place of ointment, almost become a treasure land for Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and even Montenegro thieves who were surrounding the four sides of Jizhou, and everyone wanted to get a handful of oil and water. Cao Cao only then "helplessly" changed his strategy, it happened that although Yuan Tan had a strong army, he was just a strong man, and he was already under the deterrence of Cao Cao's approaching and not surrounding him, and he couldn't support it, so Cao Cao secretly passed on the book to Yuan Xi, and still stretched his hand into Jizhou under the guise of mediating the war between the two brothers of the Yuan family.

Don't you want the fat you get, and don't you allow others to touch it? This reason is untenable. Therefore, although Cao Cao was very secretive, he did not have much to worry about his allies. After all, seeing that Lu Bu has not been out for a long time, Qingzhou is gradually in chaos, who knows if Lu Wenhou, who is known as the world's number one fierce general who was injured by the villain this time, can still hold on, and later saw that the Yecheng garrison was all withdrawn, but Cao Cao really couldn't sit still. If he Cao doesn't take it, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and the Black Mountain Thief are also salivating on the side, so it is better to cheapen himself.

However, Cao Cao also obviously miscalculated Qin Xu's original intention of using Jia Xu's strategy to withdraw back to Qingzhou led by Zhang Liao in the name of Lu Bu, in order to make Hebei, a quagmire land that had fallen into a stalemate, completely active, so as to weaken the attention of the princes and heroes who are sprouting in the world to Qingzhou. And almost all of them thought that after Qin Xu returned to the army, the entire Lu Bujun force seemed to be busy quelling the civil strife, and perhaps preparing for the handover of "great power", thinking that of course, whoever had the greater ability could bring this treasure land that had made Yuan Shao within half a year to be able to use it to rank among the top three strengths of the world. Gongsun Chan then moved! Liu Bei then moved! Although the Black Mountain thieves have suffered a great loss of vitality after the previous war, they are also ready to move this time. In the end, even Cao Cao was inevitably dragged in. Fortunately, when Cao Cao met with Lu Bu to map Hebei before, he was familiar with Jizhou, so he took a little advantage of the situation, so he had the current situation, but because he didn't know which kind of conspiracy and tricks he used to lack morality, it was the cost that Cao Cao paid, which could not be said to have increased a lot, and it was very likely that he would lose his money.

It must be Qingzhou! If it was said that Cao Cao was only a little more suspicious of Qingzhou Lu Bu's military strength and Qin Xu before, after sending Yuan Tan away, Cao Cao, who calmed down, confirmed his guess more and more. Lu Bu was seriously injured, and Qin Xu would inevitably not move lightly in order to stabilize Sanzhou. But anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of Jizhou's strategic location relative to Lu Bu's army, which is a perfect place to advance into the attacking plain as a bridgehead and retreat to the danger of the river. As for Cao Cao's army, which borders on a large area of influence in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and even Jiujiang County in Yangzhou, which has long been occupied, if it has Jizhou again, it will completely form a big encirclement of the entire land controlled by Lu Bu's army. From this point of view, compared to Gongsun Zan and other Hebei forces, it is not difficult to guess who is the person who least wants Cao Cao to succeed in controlling Jizhou.

However, Lu Bu is also the number one fierce general in the world anyway, because of the Tiger Prison a few years ago, and the later pursuit battle outside Luoyang City, which made Cao Cao almost lose his life, Cao Cao was very scruples about Lu Bu, and then held a lot of big losses in the hands of Qin Xu, which also made Cao Cao even if he was ninety percent sure that this incident that he almost didn't raise his head in front of a junior like Yuan Tan, it must have come from Qingzhou. It is even very likely that it was done by Qin Xu and the poisonous Jia Xu who was relied on by Dong Zhuo as his confidant at the beginning, and the talented Guo Jia who was recommended by Xi Zhicai on his deathbed, but Cao Cao still did not dare to draw conclusions easily before he had absolute evidence.

Therefore, in the Jinyang Mansion, Cao Cao wanted to go to the table to add Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, as the pastor of Jizhou, on top of Yuan Shang, who was named the Marquis of Shangting by the Son of Heaven and led the history of Jizhou. Cao Cao just wanted to see if the lovely and hateful Qin someone wouldn't see the trick he was hiding in the middle of this move, and when he still couldn't lead the troops in Lu Bu's opinion, would he fall for his plan of "using the other way to give back to the other". And this time it is not so much to solve the knot that Cao Jun is now made out of the name and difficult to enter Jizhou, Cao Cao has seven or eight points to fight for a breath, in Cao Cao's eyes, although Qin Xu is young, but he is definitely a respectable and hateful opponent, in considerable aspects, such as the thunder of the gods, so far Cao Cao can't think of what is going on. But Cao Cao also has his pride, picking up such a yang scheme, Cao Cao really wants to see if Qin Xu also has the ability to deal with it freely.

It's just too unfair to Yuan Tan. Anyway, he also took the initiative to surrender, and he was the son of the Yuan family, although he seemed to have some careful thoughts, but with Cao Cao's vision, it was still within the tolerable range. It can be said that the annexation of the state was the first to be attached, not only did not lose Cao's generals, but instead gained a strong boost, which in one point, Yuan Tan's role for Cao Cao, the practical significance is far greater than the symbolic meaning.

And the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fought in front of Yuan Shao before, after Yuan Shao's violent death, and because of Yuan Shao's legacy of the Yuan family's position of the head of the family, to this day, it is easy to have some common thoughts in the matter of belonging to Hebei, but because of this incident, Yuan Xi finally surpassed Yuan Tan, no wonder when Yuan Tan left just now, his face was extremely ugly.

It's a test! After this incident, if you can not change your heart, you will give a big false high-ranking official and support him in Xuchang! It can be regarded as worthy of the friendship with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who belonged to the three evils of Luoyang. After Cao Cao made this plan, his mood was rarely relieved, and he also poured out some affection for Yuan Tan, the former junior...... (To be continued......)
