Cao's army withdrew from Qingzhou, which surprised everyone.
Yuan Xu, who was far away in Xuzhou, was also stunned when he got the news.
In his impression, this time Cao's northern expedition should break through Yecheng and drive Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi to the north.
But Cao Cao did not do that, but suddenly ordered to retreat.
Things didn't go the way he knew, there were subtle changes.
Will the situation change in the future?
Yuan Xu had a trace of expectation in his heart.
"Childe!" The curtain was lifted, and Ma Fei entered the tent: "Tian Gong is here!" ”
"Tian Gong?" Yuan Xu got up and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”
Tian Feng is located in Xuzhou, and when he comes to Suishui at this time, there must be something that cannot be conveyed to others.
Ma Fei withdrew, and after a while, he led Tian Feng to the handsome tent.
When Yuan Xu asked Tian Feng to sit down, Ma Fei retreated.
"Tian Gong is sitting in Xuzhou, why did he come here?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Did Gongzi get the news that Cao Cao did not attack Yecheng, but withdrew his troops from Hebei?"
"I've got the news!" Yuan Xu said: "What does Tian Gong think? ”
"The eldest son voted for Cao Cao, and Hebei will not be guaranteed sooner or later!" Tian Feng said: "He is not in a hurry to attack Yecheng, and it is reasonable. From a certain point of view, Cao Cao has two things to do at the moment. ”
"Tian Gong, please speak!"
"One, lead the army to attack Xuzhou." Tian Feng said: "In this way, Cao Jun's losses will be huge. The second son and the third son are well aware of the danger. It is impossible not to send troops to attack Xudu! ”
"Cao Cao won't be like this!" Yuan Xu said: "The army fell into the battlefield of Xuzhou, although we are not opponents. But it can make Xu Du empty. Although the soldiers and horses under the command of the second and third brothers are weak, it is more than enough to attack the empty city! ”
"Exactly!" Tian Feng said: "Another thing. It is to work hard to rectify the fatigue, so as to fight again in the future! ”
"I feel that Xuzhou Cao's army may be evacuated!" Yuan Xu said: "Our army also has a few choices!" ”
Tian Feng did not interject, and looked at Yuan Xu silently.
"First, march to Mount Tai, break Mount Tai Cao's army, and connect with Qingzhou." Yuan Xu said: "A certain and the eldest brother are horns of each other, and they can confront Cao Cao in the Central Plains!" It's just that in this way, Xuzhou will be empty, and Cao's army will come from Runan. Our army will sit back and watch Xuzhou fall! ”
"Childe's intentions, this plan can't be done?"
"Of course not!" Yuan Xu said: "Another option is to attack Runan and win the opportunity to break through Xu Du in one fell swoop." Compared to attacking Tarzan, this plan is more risky and must not be feasible! ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Sit firmly in Xuzhou, take Xuzhou as the foundation, reduce and reduce taxes to attract the surrounding people to come to Xuzhou to settle down!" Yuan Xu said: "Population, what you want is population!" If it is a native of Xuzhou, Ding is prosperous. Why worry about having no soldiers? Why worry about the world? ”
"What Childe said is very true, a certain person came here, just for this matter!" Tian Feng said.
Cao Cao abruptly withdrew his troops, and a confused Yuan Shang led the army back to Yecheng.
Yuan Shang commanded 20,000 soldiers. There are also soldiers and horses in the city.
At this time, Zhang Nan and others knew that Yuan Xi's refusal to capture Yecheng was the wisest choice.
If Yuan Xi captures Yecheng on the same day, the soldiers and horses of the trial and distribution office can hide a part.
Once Yuan Shang returned, there was a sudden attack in the city. With the 10,000 Youzhou troops brought by Yuan Xi, they had no strength to fight at all.
The gates of the city were opened.
Yuan Xi led a group of generals to greet Yuan Shang.
The two brothers met. Yuan Xi asked, "Xianfu can see the eldest brother in this expedition to the plains?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled coldly: "The eldest brother is shrinking into the city." No matter how much you scold, you refuse to fight, how can the two of us see each other? ”
"Cao Cao led the army here, and he thought that he would take advantage of the situation to seize Yecheng, but he didn't want to retreat." Yuan Xi said: "This matter is quite strange! ”
"The eldest brother's subordinate Xin Bi joined Cao Cao, and he has already persuaded him to vote for the Cao family!" Yuan Shang said: "From now on, the eldest brother and you and I will be hostile!" ”
"As the son of the Yuan family, he actually joined the enemy!" Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I can't eat his flesh raw!" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly and did not respond.
Yuan Xi continued: "Xianfu has returned, Cao Cao has also withdrawn his army, there are still many things in Youzhou that must be dealt with, welcome Xianfu, and also bid farewell to Xianfu!" ”
"Second brother leaving?" Yuan Xi led the troops to Tunzha Yecheng, Yuan Shang couldn't feel at ease, but he pretended to stay and said: "It's better to stay for a while, you and my brother haven't seen each other for a long time!" ”
If he leads the army to stay in Yecheng, he will be suspicious of Yuan Shang, how can Yuan Xi not know the severity?
He said: "Xianfu retained, a certain should have stayed longer, but you can't help but be troubled by all things and mundane affairs in Youzhou, so I really don't dare to delay." Xianfu sits in Hebei, and when Cao Cao is defeated in the future, you and my brothers will meet each other! ”
"Since the second brother said so, it is inconvenient to stay!" Yuan Shang said: "Thank you second brother for helping me this time!" ”
"You and my brother, how can you speak outside?" Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "Such remarks, don't say more in the future!" ”
"That's what the second brother said!" Yuan Shang said: "I won't talk to my second brother in the future!" ”
"That's right!" Gently patting Yuan Shang's arm, Yuan Xi said: "My grandmother has been worried about Xianfu recently, and it is difficult to sleep at night without thinking about tea and dinner, and it is not appropriate to persuade each other. You and I don't have to delay, go back to the house and see my grandmother earlier! ”
"Rely on the second brother!"
The army entered the city and returned to the barracks.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi returned to the Yuan Mansion surrounded by a team of guards.
Knowing that Cao's army had withdrawn, Yuan Shang led the army back, and Mrs. Liu took Zhen Xiao and a group of women to welcome them to the outer courtyard.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Liu threw herself in front of Yuan Shang, held his arms, and looked at him from head to toe several times.
"Good! Good! With tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips, Mrs. Liu said, "It's good for Xianfu to come back!" ”
"The child has been on the battlefield for many years, but the mother can't believe it?" Yuan Shang said: "Even if Cao Jun doesn't withdraw, the child will kill him!" ”
"Resolute again!" Mrs. Liu said reproachfully: "How can you have the same temperament as Yuan Gong? ”
"My father often said that Xianfu was the most like him." Yuan Xi said on the side: "Not only are they similar in appearance, but even their temperament is not much different!" ”
Pulling Yuan Shang, Mrs. Liu said: "Xianfu led the army to the expedition, if it weren't for Xianyi coming, Cao's army would have broken the city. Your two brothers will have to support each other in the future, and they must not do such things as contemplating brothers! ”
"Mother rest assured!" Yuan Shang responded!
Yuan Xi also responded, and then said to Mrs. Liu: "There are still many mundane affairs in Youzhou that must be disposed of by the children, Xianfu returns, Cao Cao also withdraws the army, and the children should lead the army to return to Youzhou!" ”
Knowing that Yuan Xi was leaving, Mrs. Liu glanced at Zhen Xiao beside her, and her eyes showed reluctance.
From her expression, it was clear that she couldn't bear Zhen Xiao to leave, and Yuan Xi said: "Mother is happy with Zhen Ji, and the child will leave her in Yecheng for a while!" ”
