In the direction of Yanzhou, Cao Cao looked at the battle reports sent from Guanzhong, his eyes flickering. Chen Xun's record made him jealous, even if he now has the territory of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and half of Qingzhou, and 400,000 generations, it can't make him have a sense of superiority, if Chen Xun didn't occupy the righteousness of the world and recover the land of Hexi, he is the first hero of the Han Dynasty in these hundreds of years, Cao Cao would have sent troops to curb Chen Xun's growth momentum.
"Chen Fuzhi's general trend has been achieved." Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia beside him, with a little worry in his tone.
Guo Jia coughed lightly, and now his face was very pale, he shook his head gently, and said: "Although Chen Fuzhi said that he took the land of Hexi, it will take at least twenty years to completely recover those Qiang people, and during this time, it is enough for us to take the entire Central Plains, and Yuan Shao's strength can only protect itself now enough to expand our army." Guo Jia's face showed a sickly flush, but there was still a trace of loss in his eyes.
"Fengxiao, I'm going to attack Jizhou tomorrow, you can go with me." Cao Cao's face showed a look of determination, which made Guo Jia stunned.
"Lord, although Yuan Shao's strength has shrunk greatly in recent years, he still has 500,000 troops, although his combat power is not strong, he has more than enough self-preservation. If we fight again, I am afraid that we will attract those princes to attack. Guo Jia's face showed surprise, it is very unwise to attack Yuan Shao now, not to mention anything else, just say that Sun Ce in Jiangdong has expanded his army by tens of thousands in recent years, which cannot be underestimated, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has no hidden dangers in his hands now, with 200,000 troops in Jingzhou, and his strength is strong.
Cao Cao smiled slightly and said: "Although Liu Biao is strong, he has been checked and balanced by His Majesty, Sun Ce's strength has expanded greatly in recent years, but don't forget who our guard in Xuzhou is, Chen Yuanlong's wisdom is enough to resist Sun Ce." ”
"But......" Guo Jia wanted to refute, but was stopped by Cao Cao.
"Fengxiao, I have made up my mind, don't say more."
Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, his eyes were full of crystals, he knew that Cao Cao originally planned to attack Yuan Shao two years later, but as his body became worse and worse, Cao Cao's temperament became more and more anxious, not for anything else, just for Guo Jia had no regrets.
Cao Cao collected hundreds of thousands of grain and grass in Xuzhou, and raised 300,000 troops to attack Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's several lines of defense such as Baima, Yanjin and other places were now taken by Cao Cao one after another, so the location of this battle was placed in Liyang.
Looking at Cao Cao, who raised troops, Yuan Shao did not panic, he withdrew 200,000 troops from Youzhou and stationed in Jizhou, plus the original defenders of Jizhou were as many as 400,000.
In this war, both sides mobilized as many as 700,000 troops, and it was a major war that decided the ownership of the Central Plains and even the world. Now Chen Xun in Guanzhong has no extra troops to go to war, after all, those Qiang people still need someone to watch, Sun Ce in Jiangdong is being dragged by Chen Deng (Cao Cao unified the Chen family's family to Xuchang) and Liu Biao of Jingxiang wanted to send troops but was opposed by all forces.
On the battlefield of Liyang, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two friends who have played together since childhood, looked at each other.
"Mengde, do you and I really want to be like this?" Looking at Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's face showed a complicated expression. As he grew older, Yuan Shao's ambition gradually faded, and he missed more and more the days when he was with Cao Cao and several other good brothers.
"Originally, this battle was a battle to determine the ownership of the Central Plains and even the world, and I would not release the water."
Yuan Shao smiled slightly: "I remember when I was a child, you didn't fight me once. ”
Cao Cao said with a look of indulgence on his face: "I was really happy at that time." ”
"Mengde, dare to fight again."
"Okay."
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao dismounted one after another, but they did not pull out the swords in their hands, but untied their belts and urinated in front of their soldiers.
"Meng De, I'm still immortal, and you've lost again." Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao with a smile.
"yes, I haven't won against you all along." Cao Cao's face showed a hint of ease, and he walked straight to Yuan Shao.
"Lord, don't." Several of Cao Jun's generals rushed out one after another, wanting to stop Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao's subordinates were not vegetarians, and Yan Liangwen and Chou would stop there, looking very majestic.
Yuan Shao approached Cao Cao and rolled up his sleeves to make such a punch, but this punch was very light, and Cao Cao did not suffer any damage.
"Meng De, you remember this punch first, and I will beat you up when I take down your Xuchang in the future." Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and laughed.
"You don't have that chance." Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao coldly, then turned around and got on his horse.
"Mengde, if I lose this battle, please take good care of my family." The moment Cao Cao got on his horse, Yuan Shao's voice sounded from behind him.
Hearing this, Cao Cao froze slightly, and then said: "You take care of your own family, I can't compare to you, I don't have the spare money to feed the family." ”
Hearing this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, he knew that this was a life-and-death battle between him and Cao Cao, and the two sides could only live one, and Cao Cao asked him to take care of his family just to kill his Yuan family.
"Fighter." Yuan Shao's voice sounded, and he once again recovered the Yuan Benchu who was unapproachable, and as soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, he saw a general wearing golden armor rushing out of the formation, and this person was Wen Chou.
"The thief will go berserk. Dian Wei Laiye. "Dian Wei Wen is ugly and ugly, and he is also half a pound and eight taels in martial arts, and he fights together without saying a word.
"Xu Huang is here, who dares to fight with me." Xu Huang walked to the front of the formation with a big axe in his hand, looking very mighty.
"Zhang Helaiye." Zhang Henai is one of the four court pillars in Hebei, and his martial arts are naturally extraordinary.
"Xu Chu is here, who will fight with me."
"Yan Liang is here, come to take your Xiang Shangren's head."
Yuan Shao's twenty-three generals rushed out, and Cao Cao's subordinates were also twenty-three generals to meet them, and the two sides started a melee.
"Father-in-law, our ambush is ready." Tian Yu said, Tian Yu at this moment is responsible for protecting Yuan Shao's safety.
Yuan Shao nodded, and then shouted loudly: "Meng De, you and I can't tell the winner from the fighter, so it's better to let the soldiers in our hands fight." ”
"Go to camp first, go to war." The soldiers who arrived in the camp first were armed with long knives, and the uniform heavy infantry equipment made them look invulnerable.
"The tiger and the leopard ride out to fight." Cao Chun led the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry to rush out and meet the first camp.
