Chapter 191: It's the time for a decisive battle

A few days later, the trial still didn't find out why.

Yuan Kang cites it and denies that he knows about it.

The poisoned servant woman was found dead in the alleys of the city.

The trail is completely broken......

The back house of the Yuan family.

Dong Qing sat in the room.

Her face was pale, her eyes were glazed, and she had lost all her former brilliance.

When the doctor came, her life was saved, but the fetus in her womb was gone......

has no children, Yuan Xi is not in Yecheng, and her status in the Yuan family has plummeted.

She hadn't said a word since she woke up, just sat silently.

The maid who served her didn't dare to ask more, except for bringing food and clothing, she didn't dare to approach half a minute!

"Yuan Xu......" His lips moved slightly, and Dong Qing muttered Yuan Xu's name.

When she came to Yecheng, she never dared to offend anyone in the Yuan family.

The only one who had a holiday with her was Yuan Xu.

What's more, she also went to find Nian'er, and it was reasonable for Yuan Xu to try to kill her!

Yecheng Prison.

Yuan Kang was imprisoned for several days.

The interrogator had personally interrogated him, and he really didn't know what to confess without knowing it.

On the day of Dong Qing's accident, he appeared in the room.

For that reason alone, he was arrested and put in prison.

Yuan Shao ordered that he should try everything to get the truth from him.

Yuan Shang, who he was attached to, did not appear for a long time.

Leaning against the corner and sitting, Yuan Kang looked at the roof blankly.

He was in utter despair.

His father abandoned him, and Yuan Shang didn't save him at all......

Yuan Kang had a feeling.

His life may end in prison.

Dong Qing was poisoned, and although Yuan Shao was furious, he did not delay the deployment of troops.

The envoy to Xudu has turned back.

As Yuan Xu expected, Cao Cao rejected the Yuan family's envoy to the emperor.

There are reasons and excuses for sending troops.

100,000 elite soldiers from all over the country have driven to Yecheng, and a big war is brewing in full swing.

The Yuan family dispatched troops, and Cao Cao certainly couldn't deal with it without a response.

In the city of Xudu, after receiving the news that Yuan Shao planned to go south, Cao Cao hurriedly convened his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Inside the chamber, dozens of people sat on either side.

Both eyes looked at Cao Cao.

Many had worry on their faces.

Yuan Jun recently broke through Gongsun Zhan and ambushed Zhang Yan, who was in Taihang, when the sun was in full swing.

Under Cao Cao, the soldiers and horses were far inferior to Yuan Shao.

The strength and weakness of the two sides can be seen at a glance.

Both the staff and the generals were worried about facing Yuan Shao.

"Yuan Shao transferred troops and horses with the intention of going south, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

No one said anything, and even Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, whom Cao Cao relied on the most, did not respond.

Knowing that everyone had concerns about facing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "Could it be that the princes think that if they face Yuan Shao, they will definitely lose?" ”

"Yuan Shao is powerful, and he should seek peace." One of them got up and said, "Duke Cao should send a man who can speak well......

"To His Majesty to defeat Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao is deliberately provoking!" Interrupting the speaker, Cao Cao said, "Even if a certain beggar, how can he agree?" ”

No one said anything more.

If Yuan Shao hadn't had the heart to go south, he would never have easily transferred an army of 100,000.

"There is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, and it is no wonder that you wait." Cao Cao said: "You think that Yuan Shao is powerful, and our army is difficult to match. But I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to start a decisive battle with it! ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, but no one responded.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others looked indifferent, although they did not speak, they did not show consternation.

"Yuan Shao and a certain are old acquaintances. His character is fierce and timid, but his ambition is big but his wisdom is small. Often worried about the small and neglected the righteousness, although there are many soldiers and horses, the government decrees are different. ”

No one interrupted Cao Cao, everyone was listening to him analyze the battle situation.

"If in the past, Yuan Shao waved his troops south, and a certain envoy was sent to sue for peace. Now......"

Speaking of this, a smile hung on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth.

"Cao Gong wants to say that Yuan Shao's family affairs are complicated, and military affairs are also disorderly?" On the right-hand side, a staff member with gray hair who was nearly sixty years old said: "If you judge it in this way, Cao Gong does have a few chances of winning. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's most respected aides.

It's not very nice, but it's true.

Cao Cao is also doing such calculations.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Guo Jia said: "In order to seize the right to succeed in Hebei, the sons of the Yuan family fought openly and secretly, which hurt a lot of vitality. It's just that once the two armies start a war, with Yuan Shao's mediation, they can work with one heart and one mind. ”

"The meaning of filial piety and virtue ......"

"Yuan Shao will allocate troops and horses and build warships, to say the least, it will take several months." Cheng Yu said: "Duke Cao can use these days to mobilize troops to deal with it, and at the same time start from within the Yuan family. ”

"How do I get started?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu was about to speak, Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong divides troops to Qingzhou, and Yuan Xianxin must go." Secretly ambush people, and take the lives of those around him by assassination. When Yuan Xianxin escapes, he will suspect his brother Yuan Shang. ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "This move is feasible!" ”

Then he asked the crowd, "Do you have any teachings?" ”

Xun Yu got up and said, "I'll second the proposal for Fengxiao and Zhongde!" ”

"That being the case, all the princes obey the order!"

The crowd rose one after another.

"Zang Ba led the army into Qingzhou, attacking cities and conquering places along the way, don't give Yuan Tan a moment to breathe. On the south bank of the Yellow River, he watched the movements of Yuan's army. and the rest of the princes, each in his own ministry. ”

"No!" The crowd responded.

The court discussion was over, and when everyone retired, Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao stays, there is something important to discuss!" ”

The subordinates withdrew, and Guo Jia stayed in the hall.

After getting off the first seat, Cao Cao passed by Guo Jia and patted his arm gently.

The two of them walked out of the front hall one after the other.

Entering the back garden, Cao Cao asked: "When Zang Ba enters Qingzhou, Yuan Xianxin will definitely go." What kind of plan does Feng Xiao have to make him suspicious of Yuan Shang? ”

"Yuan Xianxin is good in everything, there is only one thing, Cao Gong can use it."

"Which one?"

"Those who moved his side will be punished!"

"Feng Xiao knows him quite well." Cao Cao smiled slightly.

"Since the battle of Yijing, I have paid attention. This son gets along well with Yuan Tan, although there is no foundation in Yecheng, but he is a little popular! ”

"Secretly deploy manpower to intercept and kill in Qingzhou, in case you hurt him......"

"Kill it, kill it, I'm afraid that Cao Gong won't bear it."

"With a strategic mind, he is really a great talent, how can he bear to do harm?"

"If you can't bear it, then help him. Cao Gong reported something in Yecheng, Yuan Xianxin was framed, although the plotter couldn't touch him, Cao Gong could sell his personal favor first. ”

"What do you mean by filial piety?"

"Since you can't move him, you will help him turn evil into good fortune, and when he enters Qingzhou, he will make plans!"

"How does Bonghyo want to act?"

"Just mention it." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Xianxin is extremely intelligent, he must have a plan, why do you need Cao Gong to help? ”
