324. Divide the spoils
>,!
Although the Montenegrin thieves have been in trouble for many years, the class limitations will not change, and most of them can only share hardships and hardships but not prosperity. When the situation is unfavorable and hidden deep in the mountains of Taihang, all departments can work closely together to resist foreign enemies; After the seizure and annexation of the state, various conflicts of interest increased, the biggest contradiction was that Zhang Yan wanted to establish his own hegemony, and the ministries still wanted to maintain their previous independence.
In addition, Zhang Yan needs to stabilize the state, and the ministries want to continue to plunder.
After the sudden change in the authorities, Zhang Yanli's thoughts on his own foundation were too urgent, and he may also be anxious to prove that his family was no worse than Deng Ji, ignoring the identity of a thief who was not welcomed, believing that he would treat people with sincerity, and the wealthy family in the state could also treat him sincerely, and finally entered a dead end.
It only takes a day, and the false good situation before disappears like snow meets blazing sun.
For Yuan Shao, it was easy to destroy Zhang Yan and recapture the state, there were no more large bandits in Taihang Mountain, and finally completely uprooted the two mortal enemies of Gongsun Zhan and Montenegro.
The light of the great victory finally made the haze of the Xin Ping brothers rebel and leave, and Yuan Shao felt that his reputation had increased again.
It's a pity that there are always many losers in the world, and when Yuan Shao left the high-ranking cadres to rectify and merge the state, he didn't know until he returned to Yecheng that in the short time of attacking Zhang Yan, another friend of the young man, Xu Youyou, had a family member who was imprisoned for the trial and punishment of staying in Yecheng, Xu You begged but could not be pardoned, and was furious, and ran to Yanzhou to defect to Cao Mengde.
When Xu You was a teenager, he was friends with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
This betrayal at the time of the great victory. finally made Yuan Shao completely angry.
Why?
The children of the poor family took the lead and ran to the Deng thief, which is not worth it. But what is not stronger than Ah Pu in my Yuan Shao's family lineage and fame? At the beginning, Apo was still attached to his own feather to get to where he is today. Why did Zhang Miao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhu Ling, Xin's brothers, Xu Yu, abandon Yuan and join Cao one by one?
Although he knew that the number one enemy was Deng Ji now, and he couldn't make any extraneous branches, Yuan Shao was not ready to endure this evil breath, so he ordered Guo Tu to go to Chen Liu, and held Cao Cao accountable: "Master Mencius Yunfu, you don't have to believe your words, you don't have to do what you do, but where your righteousness is!" The son said that the gentleman is righteous. The villain is in profit! Zhu Lingxin's Xu Yu turned his back on the lord and ran south, and Meng De didn't send him, why did he teach me? Or Mengde takes Yuzhou, for the comparison of the same county Xue Gongtian's family? ”
Meng Weijun's Tianwen fief is in Xue, and Xue Gong in Yuan Shao's words is Meng Weijun. And Xue Di is in Peiguo Gongqiu County, Yuzhou, and Cao Cao's hometown is Peiguo County, so Cao Cao and Meng Weijun are from the same county.
It's just that Meng Weijun "is not loyal to the king, but good is good to the people; Regardless of fairness and righteousness, friends are better than Zhou, and the main plan for private affairs is the business". Yuan Shao compared him to Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao unhappy.
On the eve of the Battle of Guandu in history. Although Cao Cao already owned most of the Sili area, but after many years of war, these areas were very barren, Guanzhong was even more chaotic, the strategic significance was not great, and he also divided his troops to garrison, Zhong Xuan was appointed as the captain of Sili during this period, which was to stabilize the defense line.
This is also a weak division.
Because Deng Ji who crossed over occupied Sizhou, Cao Cao's territory at this time became much smaller, but the relationship with Yuan Shao was not broken, and Sun Ce and Liu Biao had mutual hatred, so they only needed to guard against Deng Ji, and their strength was not smaller, of course, they were still far inferior to Yuan Shao.
The big enemy was Deng Ji, who was ridiculed by the powerful Ben Chu, and Cao Cao could only listen to it helplessly, and he couldn't do it.
Glancing at Meng De Muran pretending to be stupid, Guo Tu continued: "The general's intention, if Gong Cao does not forget the alliance, he should behead Zhu Lingxin's Xu Yu and send the rank back to Yecheng, otherwise it will be difficult to be friends from now on!" ”
After passing the word, Guo Tu returned from the camp, and this time he was not greedy for money.
If you really kill these people, what will become of your own family? Who else will dare to defect in the future? Cao Cao naturally wouldn't listen, but he also had to think of ways to resolve the original anger, and after Guo Tu left, he urgently gathered all the ministers to discuss.
The incident started because of his own family, and before the discussion, the Xin brothers Xu Yu all confessed in advance.
Cao Cao waved his hand on the main seat to show that he didn't need to care, and took the opportunity to say some words to win people's hearts.
When Meng De asked about the plan, the mastermind Guo Jiafang said: "If you want to calm the anger of the Yuan family, you can use the relics!" At this age, Sun Ce asked Lujiang to guard Liu Xun, for the outer screen of Anjingzhou, Huang Zu sent his troops to help, Sun Ce first broke Liu Xun, and then defeated Huang Zu, and beheaded Huang Zu's son Huang Shot, the power of the first battle shook Jiangzuo, and Yuzhang was too shou Huaxin called surrendering the land. Now the whole world wants to kill Deng, but the Sun family is like this, Jingzhou trembles, Liu Jingsheng is no longer sustainable, and Sizhou must borrow the power of Yuan Jun. Yuan Shao broke through the Black Mountain and was hesitant, lest he lose himself and make the lord benefit. Now if you want to calm its anger and strengthen its line, it is better to send an envoy to report, when it takes the party, the lord can be the forerunner, go out to attack Sizhou first, wait for the original response, the two armies will fight together, if it is done, my family only takes one county of land is enough, and the rest of the land can belong to him! ”
Xin Ping exclaimed: "Isn't it a big loss? ”
Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others all laughed when they heard this, and his younger brother Xin Bi pulled down his sleeves in the back, and when he saw that no one else was silent, he had to explain on his behalf: "The businessmen and merchants all said that Deng Jizhi Sizhou, the essence is all in Henan, the world is withering, but the people of Henan are no less than six or seven hundred thousand. If you can get this county, you will not weaken the combination of the other six counties! The seven counties of Sizhou, and only Henan is adjacent to Cao Gong! ”
To be able to get this person, it is not in vain to start with the beginning, Cao Cao said: "Sizhou soldiers, how can it be easy to be with them?" This battle will be won, and the original soldiers and horses should also suffer great losses! ”
Similarly, Xu You, who has just arrived, is also eager to express himself: "Although his soldiers are excellent, they are not enough to invade!" This battle will be lost, and there is no need to worry about losing power! ”
Xun Yu smiled at Xu You, and then added to the Xin brothers: "Deng Ji's rule is full of dock forts, but Henan has not built them!" If you have to work hard to lead the Sizhou army to cross the river, this place is the easiest to get! ”
Guo Jiashang thought that he was not enough, and said: "Although Deng Muan is a national thief, he can really rule the hearts of the people, and he also occupies the convenience of the people, the army is fine, and the people are also fierce." We and Yuan Shao join forces, even if we win the battle in time, it will be difficult to eradicate it, and Deng Ji can still retreat to Guanzhong Xiliang Xu Tu to plan later! However, this war has to be carried out, and it must not be given any more time to rest. If it wins, my family will take Henan, and it will show weakness, and the two passes of Yanghe and Hangu Bishui will defend themselves, and then they will either sit and watch Deng Ji and Yuan Shao fight, or go to Liu Bei and Liu Biao, they can advance and retreat freely! ”
Xin commented on the enlightenment.
Feeling that there were many good ministers, Cao Cao was satisfied with "haha" and laughed for a while, and asked: "So, who did the original department send to say that?" ”
For the candidate Guo Jia didn't say much, Xun Yu read it in front of everyone in the audience, and suggested: "How is Liu Ziyang?" ”
Cao Cao didn't care: "Good! ”
Liu Ye, who came from the Han clan, has not been in Cao Ying for a long time, and he is usually silent, and he doesn't seem to be able to figure out who caters to his intentions, but with his background, he can master the meticulous work of controlling Cao Jun's peace in various places in a short time, and he knows that he has won the trust of Meng De and has his own way of acting.
was named as an envoy, and he came out: "Ye should live up to the trust!" ”
**Later, when Liu Ye went to Yecheng, he did not mention Xin Ping Xu Yu and other matters, and said directly to Yuan Shao: "Cao Gong wants to join forces with the general to attack Deng Ji, and our army is willing to attack first, just hope that when the war starts, the general's soldiers and horses will respond!" ”
"Huh!" It is already the general trend to work together to fight Deng Ji, but the Sizhou army is difficult to stop, and those who send troops first will inevitably have to be hard to shake it, even if they win, the loss will not be small, this is the reason why Yuan Shao did not dare to act lightly after the thunder blow before, and when he heard Liu Ye's words, he suddenly forgot about the previous angry accountability, and asked: "Really?" ”
Liu Ye Shili: "Who is so?" How dare you lie and be offended by the general! I only ask your army to pull out the party's Pang Zhen first, and Chen Bing will divide Deng Ji's soldiers and horses outside Sizhou, and my lord will send troops to rebel! ”
Yuan Shaoshang was skeptical, and the interrogator interjected and asked: "Cao Gong is begging for thieves under the edict of the Son of Heaven, but it is not too much. With the help of our army, I don't know what to pay? ”
"Definitely!" Liu Ye shook his head suddenly: "The general's uncle has been sealed by the Son of Heaven before the assassination of Sizhou, this battle is for our army to help your son take Sizhou, how can the host and guest be reversed?" ”
The judge suddenly didn't believe it: "Help my family take Sizhou, where will Cao Gong take it himself?" ”
Seeing that Yuan Shao was silent, Liu Ye smiled and said: "If it is not my family's greed, only the army cannot be taken lightly, and it is enough for the general of Sizhou to give a county!" ”
That's what he said, but Cao Cao could only attack Henan first when he sent out his army, and could he still change places after creating a fait accompli? Other counties also do not border Yanzhou.
After Liu Ye's words, smart people also knew that if Cao Jun obtained Henan, he would not move forward, and Yuan Shao would take other places by himself.
Henan is the fattest piece of meat, but thinking about the other six counties in Sizhou now has a large population, if Cao Cao can make the first move to attract Deng Ji's hatred, Yuan Shao will be drunk first.
Sizhou was given to Yuan Shang's territory, and the princes were already Yuan Shang's hardcore supporters, so they no longer spoke up.
However, he said coldly: "Cao Gong is fortunate to serve the Son of Heaven and rebel, and my general is not greedy, it is enough to take the two counties of Hanoi and Hedong, and the rest should be given to Cao Gong!" ”
Liu Ye was stunned, and Yuan Shao hurriedly laughed to relieve the siege: "Frustrated and kind, don't you know?" ”
Yuan Shao had already made a decision, and he had to stop talking.
There was no objection at this time, and Yuan Shao said proudly to Liu Ye again: "The former is stopped by our army to break Zhang Yan, not cowardly, just to help take Sizhou lightly!" After I was the enemy of Liu Yu and punished Gongsun Zhan, Yan Rouxian and Yu Fu were all attached, and now I have said that there are two departments of Xianbei Kebi Neng Budugen, and two departments of Wuhuan Dun Louban, all of whom are willing to follow our army to attack Deng Ji, and they will not be in the future. Jun returns, when foreign aid arrives, I will take the party to watch Meng Dejunfeng! ”
With Yuan Shao's consent, Liu Ye returned by himself.
Sure enough, in a few days, Wuhuan Tun led 5,000 cavalry to Yecheng to stand by first, and then two days later, Xianbei Kebi could lead 8,000 cavalry, these three were close, and half a month later, Yan Rou led the 8,000 cavalry of Budugen to arrive.
Everything is ready, not waiting for the autumn harvest. In the middle of summer, Yuan Shaoliu gave Ma Yan to guard Yecheng, and ordered Chun Yuqiong to lead 10,000 troops and horses to garrison Liyang Hanoi, and led 50,000 troops to Xianbei Wuhuan and more than 20,000 horsemen, and requisitioned more than 100,000 people, and the army went to Bingzhou.
(I feel like I'm honest these days, and I'm cheeky to like it, and I want to rush to the main month position) (to be continued......)
