Yuan Tan didn't notice the murderous aura in Yuan Shang's eyes, and when he heard Yuan Shang say that there was a clever plan to break Yuan Buying, he was overjoyed: "What is the best way to break the sick man?" The third brother said to hear it. ”

"General Han Meng, who is stationed in Bohai, and my mother are cousins, and they have always supported our mother and son, and there are still 20,000 troops in our hands. Yuan Shang naturally took Yuan Tan's shoulders and said his clever plan.

Yuan Tan was a little disappointed: "Are you talking about General Han Meng?" He was in his fifties, and he was dying. I'm afraid it's not the opponent of Zhang He and Wen Chou in their prime. With your and my army, plus Han Meng's 20,000 men, I am afraid it will still be difficult to defeat the Bingzhou army. ”

Seeing that Yuan Tan was a little tempted, Yuan Shang quietly withdrew the movements in his hand. Killing Yuan Tan now is a strategy after all, and it is not a last resort, and this step must not be taken. As long as there is a glimmer of hope to convince Yuan Tan, we must do our best. After all, Yuan Tan's two confidants, Guo Tu and Xin Ping only serve Yuan Tan, and it is almost impossible to subdue them.

"If the elder brother thinks that Han Meng's men and horses still can't beat the sick man, he can write a letter to the senior cadres in Youzhou and state the stakes to him. Let him know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, if Jizhou and Qingzhou are completely occupied by this sick man, he will not want to be safe and sound. ”

Hearing Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Tan's eyes finally had a little brilliance, and he said: "This plan is feasible, you can send a person who can speak well to Beiping and persuade the senior cadres to send troops to help." I don't believe that the strength of my three states is still no match for the sick man's state army. ”

Seeing that Yuan Tan agreed, Yuan Shang's hanging heart finally landed. Raise eyebrows. He also said: "You can repair another book, send it to Xuchang, and declare it to Cao Cao, so that Cao's army can cross the Yellow River and attack Hanoi, Hedong and other places." If this is the case, the sick man will be difficult to take care of, and he will definitely take the opportunity to break down. ”

Eryuan discussed and stopped, immediately repaired the three letters, sent fast horses, and sent them to Bohai, Beiping, and Xuchang overnight, and asked Han Meng, Gao Gan, and Cao Cao for help respectively. At the same time, the city gates of the plain were ordered to be closed. Pull up the suspension bridge. The city was held to the death, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

After a night of fierce fighting, the Jiqing Coalition Army lost its armor and shed a river of blood. And the state corps won a great victory.

Yuan buys an account. Gather civil and military staff. announced the reward for Sima Yi: "Zhong Da is like a god, and he calculated that the coalition army would come to rob the camp, so that our army would set up an ambush and win a complete victory." and offered a strategy of deception. Burn down the camp of the coalition forces and severely demoralize the enemy. The merit is great, and now according to the agreement, Sima Zhongda should be promoted to the head of the three armed forces, do you have any objections? ”

Regardless of whether these people are convinced by Sima Yi or not, whether they admire him for being like a god, or sigh that he is lucky, Sima Yi's great achievements are something that everyone has seen with their own eyes, and no one can say anything, let alone stand up stupidly to protest.

"Sima Zhongda is like a god, and he deserves this reward for his great achievements in this battle!" All the civil and military officers praised together, expressing their support for the lord's decision.

"Very good!" Yuan Mai applauded and praised, and personally awarded the seal ribbon of the main book to Sima Yi: "From now on, Zhong Da will be the master of the army, and he will enjoy 600 stones." ”

Sima Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, glad that he had won the bet. The long neck was retracted into the collar, and he thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of the lord, Yi will definitely swear to the death, go to the soup and fire, and do not give up." ”

After the meritorious deeds were rewarded, Yuan Mai ordered the three armies to pull out their camps and continue to pursue them with victory, until they approached the twenty miles of Pingyuan City before setting up camp. Ordered Wang Shuang and Zhu Gongdao to lead 10,000 horses to the city to call for battle, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang ordered the four gates to be closed, and let the state army shout and scold under the city, but they just ignored it and waited for the arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life, and then made plans.

It was the time of June, and the rainy seasons that followed were immovable for the next few days.

Sima Yi was shocked, and when he was in high spirits, he came to see Yuan Mai again and offered a plan to break the city: "The Jiqing coalition army is shrinking in the city and standing still, just afraid that they are waiting for reinforcements." If it lasts for a long time, it may not be good for our army. In Yi's opinion, it is better to lead the water of the Yellow River into the plain city, coupled with the rainy season, under the flood soaking, the plain city wall will inevitably collapse, so that the plain city will be at your fingertips. ”

Yuan Mai stroked his beard and pondered. With the passage of time, his beard has become thicker and thicker, and the manhood on his face has become more and more obvious.

"The water of the Yellow River is like a flood beast, when the embankment bursts, the common people suffer, and it is too late to deal with it, how can they change the river course by themselves? For the land of a city, lose the hearts of the people in the world, in exchange for infamy for eternity, the gains outweigh the losses, this plan is not feasible! ”

After a little consideration, Yuan Mai finally rejected Sima Yi's suggestion. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there have been many cases of diversion of water to irrigate the city, Cao Cao broke the Pi to capture Lu Bu, broke the Yecheng capture trial match are all used to divert water to irrigate the city, 20 years later, Guan Yunchang is the flooding of the Seventh Army, captured in the forbidden beheading Pang De, shocked China, and exerted the power of water attack to the peak.

But those rivers are different from the ferocious Yellow River, not to mention that it is the rainy season, if the river cannot be controlled, and the Yellow River forcibly diverts its course, it will cause devastating disasters to the inhabitants downstream, and the hundreds of miles of land from the plains to Qingzhou will become a vast world, and life will be miserable. It would be an unimaginable disaster, and Yuan Mai would never allow such a thing to happen! The struggle for the world is not only about turf, but also about the hearts and minds of the people. The people's hearts are attached, and the territory can be obtained sooner or later; If the people's hearts are lost, the territory will be lost sooner or later.

After listening to Yuan Mai's analysis, Sima Yi gasped, and said in his heart It seems that I still underestimate this young lord, his ambition is by no means a state land, nor a hegemon, but the whole world. I need to be cautious in my future actions, and I will never take risks like that day again!

"What the lord said is extremely far-sighted, and it is beyond Yi's reach!" Sima Yi praised and honestly admitted his mistake by shrinking his long neck into the collar.

Yuan Mai smiled: "Zhongda doesn't have to blame himself, he has a good plan in the future, and he still needs to actively propose." The battle of the two trapped beasts, morale is low, our army is progressing step by step, the plain can be broken sooner or later, there is no need to rush for a while. ”

"The lord is eloquent, and he is not too late!" Sima Yi gave up.

Since the battle situation has entered a stalemate, Yuan Mai is not in a hurry, and he is slowly consuming with Er Yuan. The reinforcements they are waiting for are nothing more than the senior cadres of Youzhou, it's okay if this guy doesn't come, if he dares to mobilize the army, he will have an excuse to conquer Youzhou, this guy has not counted his account with him on the military rations back then!

He also sent an envoy to rush to the port of Mengjin, and ordered Xu Sheng to leave a part of the men and horses to guard the camp of the sailor, and he led 3,000 sailors to the east along the river, bypassing the plain city, entering the territory of Leling, and cutting off the grain road from Qingzhou to the plain. It has been nearly two years since the formation of the Naval Division, and now it is time to come in handy.

Xuchang City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao had come out of the shadow of the loss of his two sons, and he had just received a letter from Yuan Mai in the past few days, and had returned the general's seal, much to Cao Cao's surprise. When he was thinking about how to reply, he received a joint letter from Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang asking for help, in which he was extremely humble, and even regarded himself as a subordinate, asking Cao Cao to send troops to attack and annex the state, and the three parties jointly carved up the territory bought by Yuan.

The death of Cao Shuo and Cao Pi certainly made Cao Cao heartbroken, and the death of his old rival Yuan Shao also made him feel sad and sad, and after hearing the news of the three Yuan cannibalism, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh: "Haha...... Yuan Benchu, you are much worse than me in educating your sons, although my sons are all dead, but at least they gave their lives to protect their father. Your son is good, the dead father's bones are still cold, it is difficult to solve, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that I don't need to do it, Sanyuan will die at the hands of his brother, do you say I should celebrate or grieve for you? ”

It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that if it weren't for the butterfly effect brought about by Yuan Mai's crossing, which caused Cao Pi to die under Lu Bu's gun, in a few years, his sons would also repeat the scene of the Yuan brothers. The difference is that Cao Pi, who is in power, is full of his word, and the other brothers can only be slaughtered.

"Ahem...... Cao Gong, please listen to me. Guo Jia's health is getting worse, and although it is summer, he still coughs.

"It's okay to say it bluntly!"

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Yuan Shao is dead, Hebei is divided, and the three Yuan are killing each other, which is a good time for our army." just took the opportunity to use soldiers to pull out Liu Bei's thorn in the eye. The lord can repair a book, promise Jizhou to Sanyuan respectively, comfort him with kind words, and give him wealth, so that they can fight for themselves and kill more than once. Wait until the three Yuan are defeated and injured, and then wave their troops across the Yellow River, so that Hebei can be determined. ”

"Good, this plan works!" Cao Cao stroked his beard in agreement.

Cao Cao personally wrote three letters, one for Yuan Mai, and in the name of the emperor, he was crowned as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the state pastor led the Jizhou Assassin History, which means that Yuan Mai is not only the state pastor but also the part-time state assassin history. He also repaired a book to Yuan Shang, named him a hussar general and a pastor of Jizhou, and told him in a letter that he must regain control of Jizhou and inherit his father's business. In the end, Yuan Tan was named the general of Xiaocai, the pastor of Qingzhou, the governor of the military of the four northern states, the territory of the north is all yours, whether you can take it down depends on your own ability, I can only help you get here!

After sending three envoys, Cao Cao gathered an army of 100,000 under the city of Xuchang, except for leaving Xiahou Yuan to guard Chang'an, Yu Ban to guard Luoyang, and Cao Ren to guard Chenliu, the rest of the civil and military staff almost went out to vow to destroy Liu Bei before winter.

When the team was about to set out, Xun Yu, who stayed behind, said again: "Cao Gong, that Yuan bought Hebei and two states, and his troops are strong and strong, and there are many wise men. Although Cao Gong had previously used a divisive strategy to make the three Yuan kill each other, he was still afraid that someone would persuade Yuan Mai to turn the spearhead and take advantage of Xuchang's emptiness to commit a big attack, and he still needed to think of a perfect strategy. ”

Cao Cao immediately closed his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he suddenly opened his shining eyes: "The tongue can't be a child can't trap the wolf, there is a clever plan to buy it!" (To be continued......)
