Chapter 661: Yuan Xi's life-saving straw
Feng Ping quietly took the county seat of Jixian County, but the only thing that made Zhao Fei dissatisfied was that the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang actually ran away.
Cao Jun surrounded the entire Jixian County, but this actually made the two Yuan brothers run away, and it was obviously understandable to say that they were unhappy. And the two Yuan brothers broke through, and the generals of the Cao army felt a little ashamed, and they didn't dare to say anything.
However, Zhao Fei didn't care very much, because even though the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang ran away, there was no longer the survival status of the two of them in the entire Youzhou.
The indignation of the people of Youzhou against Yuan Xi can be imagined, there were soldiers under Yuan Xi's command at the beginning, and the people may not dare to resist Yuan Xi. But now, the elite around Yuan Xi has been lost, and for the tiger that no longer has sharp claws and sharp teeth, the people will definitely not buy his account anymore.
Since Yuan Xi no longer has the capital to dominate Youzhou, let Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang go. After all, the threat of the two is not very great, and the two who have no military power are obviously not to be feared. So Zhao Fei didn't like to continue to embarrass the two of them.
However, Cao Cao obviously didn't let go of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang easily, which made Zhao Fei feel a little helpless. Now it is imperative to take Youzhou, instead of spending troops chasing these two useless people.
And Zhao Fei also knew that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang would inevitably die sooner or later. In history, the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang defected to Gongsun Kang, the Taishou of Liaodong, and in the end, Gongsun Kang killed the two and dedicated their heads to Cao Cao.
However, at present, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang did not go straight to Liaodong, and now Yuan Xi still has thousands of cavalry under his command, as well as nearly 10,000 feet. With these soldiers here, Yuan Xi was naturally not far behind. Now Yuan Xi can still rely on the Wuhuan people, as long as he persuades them to participate in the war, he can still fight with the Cao army.
Yuan Xi knew that talking to foreign clans about sending troops together was tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. I have been doing the history of Youzhou for so long, how can I not know what the situation of foreigners is. But now, it's obvious that there is nothing I can do.
After having been assassinating in Youzhou for so long, Yuan Xi naturally had some connections with the Wuhuan people. With their own cavalry, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled towards Liaoxi in a panic. After Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang gained a foothold in western Liaoning, Yuan Xi began to make contact with the Wuhuan people.
The Wuhuan people of Cao Yuan's battle in Youzhou are naturally very concerned, after all, they are careerists, and they are very yearning for the rich land in the Central Plains. They wanted to take advantage of Cao Yuan's battle to profit from it, but surprisingly, Yuan Xi didn't last long before he was defeated by Cao's army.
Yuan Xi was defeated, and the idea of everyone taking advantage of the fire to rob was also faint. After all, Cao's combat effectiveness was obviously superior to that of the other princes encountered with the Wuhuan people.
When Gongsun Chan was the assassin of Youzhou, the Wuhuan people were pressed by Gongsun Chan and couldn't raise their heads. In their opinion, Gongsun Chan is very powerful, and it is obviously not something that they can match. Then Gongsun Chan was defeated by the Yuan army, so the Yuan army was naturally stronger than Gongsun Zan .
Due to Yuan Xi's relatively calm policy and the prestige left by Gongsun Zhan back then, there was no war between the Wuhuan people and the Yuan army. Now, the strong rise of Cao Jun has made it a little difficult for the Wuhuan soldiers to accept. At the beginning, a great prince of the four states was defeated by the Cao army in such a short period of time, and the Cao army was obviously more powerful than the Yuan family.
Yuan Xi's first target of visit was the leader of Liaoxi Karasuma, Bunton, who was the son of the former Karasuma lord Qiu Liju. Bandun is brave and resourceful, and he is a rare talent in Karasuma. The Karasuma tribe of the three counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu obeyed his orders and was deeply supported and convinced by the tribe.
It can be said that today's Kanton is the king of Karasuma. There are many 50,000 tribes in Liaodong and Liaoxi, but Bandun is definitely the most powerful one in the entire Karasuma world. As long as he convinces Bunton to send troops, other Karasuma tribes will surely send troops as well.
Cao's footsteps are really strong, but the cavalry of the Wuhuan people is not given for nothing. They were born to live on horseback, and for horsemanship, they have a talent far beyond that of the Central Plains. Although Cao's footsteps are strong, the cavalry is better than the ability to maneuver, which is not comparable to the footsteps.
Yuan Xi rode his horse to appear in the gathering place of the Wuhuan people, and Yuan Xi's arrival was obviously welcomed by the Wuhuan tribe, after all, Yuan Xi's peaceful strategy was quite helpful to the Wuhuan people. So when he saw Yuan Xi, the Wuhuan people naturally wouldn't snub him.
Yuan Xi was invited to the big tent of Bunton, Bunton sat on the main seat, and when he saw Yuan Xi enter the big tent, Bunton immediately showed a smile, and then said loudly: "Lord Thorn Shi actually came to my small place, it really led my small camp to flourish!" ”
Although he said it very lightly, there was obviously a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Listening to Badun's words, Yuan Xi was obviously very angry, but thinking of the purpose of his coming here today, he could only hold back his anger. I'm here to talk to Badon about sending troops together, and I still have a chance to talk about the rest.
Now his strength is obviously not comparable to Badun, and he also hopes to take Youzhou with the help of Badun's troops. Of course, if Bun Dun is really willing to help himself, then Yuan Xi's goal is not only to care about Youzhou. If he could, Yuan Xi hoped to take Jizhou.
Compared with Jizhou, Youzhou is really nothing. Back then, his father occupied the entire Hebei Province by virtue of Jizhou, and it can be said that Jizhou is definitely a state and county that can achieve hegemony. If you can, take Jizhou, and you will have the capital to dominate the world.
"Shan Yu Mo is going to joke with me, now that the Youzhou Governance Office has been conquered by Cao Jun, my assassination history is obviously not right." Yuan Xi's words were full of loneliness. I think about how powerful he was when he was in charge of a state, and how he dared to speak to himself like this.
Look at the present, what is called the tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, this is obviously a true portrayal. At this moment, let Badun be proud, and after he can take Jizhou, he will find Badun for revenge, a small foreigner, who really thinks he is a character.
He stared at Yuan Xi, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things. In the words of you Han people, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, presumably Lord Assassin Shi must have some purpose when he came to see me! ”
Yuan Xi smiled slightly, and then said: "Shan Yu is right, there is indeed something to see Shan Yu today." ”
"I'm here today to send troops with me to fight against Cao's army!" Yuan Xi glanced at Bao Dun, and then explained his intention.
Badun obviously knew why Yuan Xi came to find him, he smiled slightly, and then said: "Lord Thorn Shi really likes to joke, Lord Thorn Shi's hundreds of thousands of elite troops are all Cao Jun's opponents, let me wait to fight with Cao Jun, that's not my life!" ”
This is really a bit of resourcefulness, Yuan Xi sighed secretly in his heart. Among the foreign tribes in Youzhou, this Bunton is obviously the smartest one. Otherwise, Badun would not be able to become the king of the Wuhuan.
"Shan Yu's iron cavalry is extremely elite, and Cao Jun is only quite strong in foot, in terms of cavalry, Cao Jun is Shan Yu's opponent under his subordinates!" Yuan Xi said in a deep voice. Afterwards, Yuan Xi opened his mouth and said: "If Shan Yuken sends troops, I will have a generous gift!" ”
Shan Yu obviously didn't look down on what Yuan Xi was talking about, he stared at Yuan Xi quietly and didn't say anything!
At this moment, Yuan Xi secretly scolded Badun in his heart, this Badun is really a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles. Seeing that he looked so rough, I thought he was a big old man, but I didn't expect that his mind was delicate.
After looking at Shan Dun, Yuan Xi spoke again: "If Shan Yu helps me capture Jizhou, then I will cede most of the fertile land in Youzhou to Shan Yu and your tribe, what do you think of this deal?" ”
Yuan Xi's words really made Badun's eyes light up, and the other Badun may not care, but the fertile land is obviously what he dreams of the most. The Central Plains is rich, and this is obviously known for a long time, and getting involved in the Central Plains is obviously the biggest wrong.
Now, I finally have a chance. Yuan Xi asked himself to send troops, so that he could justifiably attack the land of the Han people.
Don't look at the rough branches, but he has obviously studied the knowledge of the Han people and knows what it means to be justified. If you can't do what you say, you're a robber in the eyes of others.
Since Gongsun Chan was destroyed, Bandun rekindled the idea of competing for hegemony in the Central Plains. However, he apparently never had much of a chance. Moreover, the Central Plains is vast and has a large population, and I am afraid that my own people alone will not be able to conquer even a county, let alone get involved in the Central Plains.
Through learning the culture of the Central Plains, he knows what it means to accumulate steadily. So when Yuan Xi ruled Youzhou, he had been accumulating strength, hoping that one day he would be able to get his hands on the Central Plains.
Now, his strength has almost accumulated. Not to mention anything else, but there are 20,000 warriors under his command. Of course, this is just the beginning, and with his own prestige, it is obviously not impossible to gather tens of thousands of troops to attack the Central Plains.
He knows what it means to be greedy and swallow elephants, and his tens of thousands of troops are really a lot, but compared with the princes of the Central Plains, his tens of thousands of troops are obviously nothing.
Moreover, his own army is all cavalry. On horseback, they don't care if they are one against ten. However, the siege of the city requires footsteps, which is obviously their own weakness. After getting off the horse, the Karasuma people didn't know how to fight.
If you want to get involved in the Central Plains, it is best to have enough steps to attack cities and seize land. And Yuan Xi's soldiers are obviously the best choice.
Let Yuan Xi's steps take the lead, and he will enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, which is obviously what Pandan wants to see.
As for taking Jizhou, Badun smiled contemptuously. I have the ability to capture the Central Plains, what do I want you to do. Lao Tzu is not unfamiliar with the slightly barren land in Youzhou, but he is plotting the world of the Han people.
A small king of Karasuma obviously can't stop me from stepping up, compared to the little king of Karasuma, the emperor of the Han people is his ultimate dream.
