Chapter 303: Bragging

Yuan Shao can have such a good situation today, like Mount Tai pressing the top of the attack on Cao Cao, without the help of one person, that is, Tian Feng, as early as after the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao intended to fight Cao Cao to the death, he is not a person who can endure; Because Guo Tu under his command had a personal enmity with Cao Cao, he secretly united Xu You, Xian Pei and others to jointly write to persuade Yuan Shao, saying that after the destruction of Gongsun Zhan, our army was in full swing, in short, their future was described as a beautiful blueprint, coupled with Cao Cao's war in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao was moved, and even began to gather military horses for a time; At this time, Tian Feng rushed back from Qingzhou because of some things, and argued with Guo Tu and others in person, he said that in fact, it is beneficial to Cao Cao and not to Yuan Shao now, and said that now we only need to recuperate for three or five years to destroy Cao Cao, just like Mount Tai pressing the top, it is effortless; But none of these could impress Yuan Shao, and in the end, Tian Feng also agreed to send troops, but it was a local war, fighting and merging states, so that the other three states could recuperate, and then when the time came, the troops of the annexed states would be withdrawn, and a Ming Xiu plank road would secretly cross Chen Cang! Directly attack Cao Cao's lair!

Tian Feng also learned to be smart, and he didn't rush to persuade Yuan Shao with a crooked face and unscrupulous words, because that would only have the opposite effect, he quoted scriptures this time, compared Yuan Shao to Liu Bang back then, and praised him like a flower, Yuan Shao is a particularly emotional person, so as soon as he was happy, he came according to Tian Feng's plan!

With Tian Feng's idea, it is best to send troops after five years, but Yuan Shao can't help it after three years, Guo Tu and others are always instigating him, is this okay? Tian Feng knew that it was not easy to persuade, so he no longer obstructed it, and tried his best to help Yuan Shao plan such a play!

Compared with the strength expected by Li Yu, Li Yu is still a small family, Yuan Shao will empty Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou this time, and gather all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou, there are more than 600,000 people, and Li Yu said about 600,000 people is about the same, but! Yuan Shao also borrowed more than 100,000 troops from the northern aliens! His current conservative strength is 800,000!

800,000! No wonder Yuan Shao just came from Yecheng and began to brag: My army is to throw all the horse whips into the Yellow River, and the Yellow River will be cut off! Boasting is also confident! These 800,000 people, even if it is 800,000 steamed buns, it is enough for Cao Cao to gnaw for more than ten years!

It is ridiculous that Cao Cao's inaccurate intelligence was shot by Yuan Shao, and he hoarded 200,000 military horses in Bingzhou, but there were only 150,000 on the frontal battlefield.

In Xuchang, Li Yu looked at Lu Bu and Xun Yu, pacing back and forth: "Brother Wen Ruo! Eldest brother! You're going to help me once! Just do me a favor! All right? ”

Looking at Li Yu, who was expecting, both of them had received his favor, how could they say nothing? Lu Bu re-donned the beast-swallowing armor, re-put on the red rabbit horse, and regained the Fang Tian painting halberd, Xun Yu was nothing special, but he ceremoniously changed into the official palace of the Han court, tied his hair, and wore a sword; There is another person here who is very important, Cao Pi is now pretending to be his father's will, and acting according to Li Yu's explanation! He's fifteen or sixteen years old now, and he already knows what's at stake! Doing so would undoubtedly affect his future inheritance, but he did it without hesitation; Cao Pi said in his heart: "From the time I started to run, I was running with all my might, not daring to turn back, not daring to stop, because I was afraid of seeing the corners of your disappointed eyes!" ”

"Is there anyone who wants to join the army and fight? Stand out! In Xuchang's prison, Li Yu asked softly, and the voice spread far away in the dark and damp cell; Many people were silent and refused to express themselves, and suddenly someone said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go!" As long as you can live! ”

"Those who join the army, those who kill one of the enemy's soldiers! Avoid capital crimes! Kill ten people! Spare your family for their crimes! Achievements are made today! Want to come? Answer me? Li Yu is still talking lightly; Countless prisoners clung to the fence and shouted frantically: "Me! Count me in! "I'll go! "Me! "Crazy! Everyone went crazy at the moment when they got the hope of life! Xuchang's prison imprisons too many people! Looking at these crazy people, Li Yu smiled: "Release people!" ”

Li Yu formed such a team of less than 3,000 prisoners, each of whom was equipped with five days' dry rations, and another 5,000 war horses were mobilized from Xuchang, with armor, weapons, and bows and crossbows! It's only a few hours! This is indispensable for people from all over the world to help; Man Boning, who was in charge of guarding Xuchang, looked at Cao Pi suspiciously, and Cao Pi was weak in his heart and lowered his head, but he was full of favor and opposition, even indulgence, who would rebel, he didn't believe that Li Yu rebelled, and Li Yu talked to him, so that he knew Cao Cao's current situation, but Li Yu took over the charge of privately mobilizing military horses; The palace, Li Yu brought people here! Unreasonable, he killed a few guards first, and came with bloody swords; Liu Xie was terrified, this man seemed to him to be more cruel and cunning than Cao Cao! Let him be scared in his heart! Tremblingly pointed at Li Yu: "Do you want to kill me?" ”

Li Yu smiled and bowed his waist: "How come?" My Imperial Majesty! I'm going to ask you to watch a good show now! Haven't you always been full of expectations for Yuan Shao? I'm arranging for you to meet with him this time! Let's take a look at that great general! Hahaha! Let's go! March to White Horse City! ”

"Yuan Shao actually has 800,000 military horses? Not counting the 200,000 horses who confronted us in the state? Cao Cao's head almost crashed, he had already learned the number of Yuan Shao's army, and asked in surprise; There are indeed 800,000 people, falsely claiming to be millions! However, the Yuan army there is only afraid that it has already withdrawn, and the 200,000 military horses we confronted them can take down Bingzhou with just one charge! Guo Jia was a little bitter: "Yuan Shao played a hand!" Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang! ”

"How is this possible? No way! When pigs fly! Cao Cao waved his sleeves and shouted, he still doesn't believe it, Yuan Shao actually endured it for three years, and as soon as he made a move, he was shocked, directly forcing him to the edge of the cliff!

"Prime Minister! It's useless to say more now! Yuan Shao has already stationed troops in Liyang, and the army has taken Yan Liang as the vanguard and directly marched out of White Horse City, intending to lay a foothold! White Horse City is now guarded by Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, but the military horses in the headquarters are only three thousand, and Yan Liang's military horses are ten times that of him! Think about how to deal with it! Once Yuan Shao has a place to settle in Yanzhou, it will be difficult! ", Jia Xu advised; Hahaha! Cao Cao suddenly laughed, and after laughing: "Yuan Shao is powerful!" There are many soldiers and generals, not to mention that our army is a soldier, even generals from all walks of life will tremble in their hearts when they hear it, right? Not to mention morale! ”

"It's better to be like this", Guo Jia whispered next to Cao Cao for a while, and Cao Cao nodded: "Pass my order!" Let everyone come handsome, I have something to say! ”

Cao Cao went on this expedition, afraid that Xu Du would change, and decided to come up with a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and brought all the civil and military ministers under Liu Xie, what he was afraid of was that they shook their foundations. "Yuan Shaoju has an army of more than 800,000 to attack me! What do you guys think? Is it a war? Is it down? If it is a war, will we rush or delay the war? If it is a surrender, do we beg for surrender or beg for surrender? As soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Cao told the truth, so that he was not afraid of the decline in morale, because he had a way to improve morale; Under the Lord to descend! Yuan Shao's soldiers are strong, the momentum is huge, and there is no one in the world to compete with! At most, we will cut the land and sue for peace", Dong Cheng, the general of the car technology, stood up and whispered, but before he finished speaking, he was angrily reprimanded by Cao Ren: "Soft bones!" Others are afraid, but Lao Tzu is not afraid! Under the main battle! ”

It is a royalist party with Dong Cheng of the same faction, whether it is Taiwei Yang Biao or others, even many generals in his camp are afraid of one, Cao Cao's face is gloomy, and he walked to the weapon rack, there are two swords on it, Yitian, and Wentian, the Qinghong has been given to Ma Chao by him; Stroking the Heavenly Sword, Cao Cao remembered Li Yu, if he was there, he would plan everything for himself, and these people would also be scolded by him and wouldn't dare to let go, it's a pity! Now Cao Cao was in a complicated mood and held the Wentian Long Sword, walked around the handsome tent, everyone shut up, and he spoke; As if recounting the past, Cao Cao was a little nostalgic: "Brother Yuan Shao! We've been friends for years! Hehe! When I was twenty years old, I still admired Brother Yuan Shao! Why? Because of his ancestors, the fourth generation and the third duke, his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world; My grandfather was only a eunuch, and I was ashamed of myself and made fun of him!

When I was thirty years old, we were officials in the same dynasty, and I respected him on the outside, but in my heart I already looked down on him! Why? Because it was he who lured Dong Zhuo to the capital and caused chaos in the world, and I told him a long time ago that doing so would only lead the wolf into the house! Misfortune on yourself!

About forty years old! We are all on our own, and I have despised him at this moment! Why? Because he is the master of the people, but he is narrow-minded, shallow, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and stubborn and suspicious! As a commander-in-chief, he is strategic and indecisive, fierce and timid, with many soldiers but different commands, and the generals are arrogant and the government orders are unknown!

As a father, but he allowed his sons to support the army and stand on their own to compete for the position of the son, using relatives without virtue, it can be seen that my brother, whether he is a commander or a father, is glamorous on the outside and mediocre on the inside! Today, I'm going to be blunt! As early as when the princes were fighting for Dong, Huaide had already predicted that there would be a battle between me and Yuan Shao!

And for this battle, I have prepared too much! Too much! Eight years ago, Yuan Shao already had an army of 300,000! I guess I need 200,000 men to defeat him, right? Three years ago, Yuan Shao already had 500,000 people! I guess I have to have 150,000 men to defeat him, right?

Until now! Yuan Shao already has 800,000 troops! Of the thirteen states in the world, he alone monopolized the four largest states of Qing, You, and Hebei! It's a monstrous momentum! But! I'm thinking! I can destroy him with only 100,000 men!" ”

No one knows whether Cao Cao said this is true or not, but if someone lies on his chest and listens to his heartbeat, you can know that his current heartbeat is far beyond the normal frequency, which is a very nervous performance!

"Why is Yuan Shao supporting more and more troops, but the prime minister is using fewer and fewer troops?" , Guo Jia has a lot of insight and price to set up a platform for Cao Cao; Cao Cao stood in front of the case with a sword asking the sky: "There are not many soldiers, they are fine!" It will not be wide, it will be plotting! If there are more than soldiers, I will never be able to compare with Yuan Benchu! But compared to resourcefulness and ingenuity, the three Yuan Benchu tied together are not my Cao Cao's opponents! Cao Ren! Tell me about the soldiers and horses I prepared for Yuan Shao! ”

Cao Ren said loudly: "As early as a long time ago, the prime minister ordered me to transfer elite soldiers from various departments, and now I have trained 100,000 elite soldiers, 50,000 iron horsemen, 10,000 pikemen, 10,000 shield bearers, and the remaining 30,000 are crossbowmen and chariots!" ”

"There is actually only one war between us and Yuan Shao, and that is the first battle! The first victory, Yuan Shao's defeat is like a mountain, and the world belongs to me! The first battle was defeated, our family was ruined, and there was no place to bury the dead! So, the first battle must be won! All 100,000 elite soldiers entered the first battle! And what are the rest of the horses for? That is, when I win, let go of my hands and feet to chase and kill! ”; Cao Cao held his sword high, his soldiers pointed straight to the north, and the noon sun shone on Cao Cao's body through the handsome tent, and his figure suddenly became much taller! Morale is high!
