Chapter 385: Guandu Begins
White Horse City, Feng Ji is kneeling in the palace of White Horse City in fear, his lord Yuan Shao is on the top position, playing with a bronze wine lord in his hand, his eyes are deep and unpredictable, Feng Ji's colleagues and political enemies are standing on both sides, they are trying their best to restrain their gloating expressions, but their hearts are clear at a glance, everyone hopes that Yuan Shao can punish this opponent who cannot be underestimated.
"Do you mean that the deaths of Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not accidental, but a conspiracy against the two of them?" Yuan Shao suddenly asked, his voice was deep and low, there was a kind of condescending majesty, a kind of unparalleled pride of a national warrior, if some ordinary people saw it, they would have an urge to bow and worship.
"The two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in battle, they all blame the ministers for their improper actions, and it is difficult to escape the blame, and I am willing to die to thank the three armies!"
Feng Ji lowered his head and replied, sticking his forehead on the cold floor, if there were some unexpected factors in Yan Liang's death, then Wen Chou's defeat was completely a defeat in strategy, Hu Che'er lured the enemy, Le Jin bluffed, Yu Ban led the rout of the baggage and Guan Yu's ambush, one ring after another, like a big hand that gradually tightened, strangled this brave general, Feng Ji didn't even notice it, obediently drove Wen Chou into the trap, and finally died and was taken to the head by Guan Yuxiao.
"It's not necessary to commit suicide, but Yuan Tu, you have no last resort on weekdays, why didn't you see through Cao Cao's plan this time?"
Yuan Shao's voice was a little puzzled, judging from the battle report, Feng Ji's command in the first half of the Battle of Yanjin was very good, completely suppressing the Cao army, but in the second half of the game, it was a big failure, and directly sent Yan Liangwen to a dead end.
"The minister has been serving the general, and he has been in the style for a long time, but he really didn't expect that Cao Thief was so shameless and cruel to such an irreparable point, and a new general like Hu Che'er was sacrificed as an outcast so simply. Therefore, it is a misjudgment to have virtue and not to be virtuous."
Feng Ji found a reason and secretly patted Yuan Shao on the back, as the saying goes: Thousands of clothes don't wear horses, Yuan Shao listened to Feng Ji's words, and his face looked a little better. Other advisers slandered for a while, this person has not forgotten to compliment until now, in fact, Feng Ji is also secretly complaining in his heart, he doesn't want to use this kind of excuse, but if he doesn't say so, he may die here, Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, but he loves face very much, and now almost all the middle and upper-level officials in Jizhou are in this hall. Only by slapping Yuan Shao's sycophants can he have a chance to live.
When he received the battle report at the beginning, he was so angry that he kicked almost all the table cases overturned, thinking that all this was the fault of Xu You's treacherous villain, and induced him to perish at the beginning, but he thought about it, where was Xu You's mistake? He didn't say anything wrong at all, and all the information provided came true. The only time it was barely a mistake was to blame myself for cleverly vetoing it. Instead, let Wen Chou go to Yanjin to pursue.
The defeat of Yanjin may cause the escalation of the internal struggle in Jizhou, Wen Chou is a faction in Jizhou, and Feng Ji is a native of Nanyang, this battle is won, it is easy to say; The battle was lost. The military generals of the Jizhou faction will definitely take the opportunity to jump out, accusing him of deliberately weakening the Jizhou faction with selfish intentions, his reputation does not matter, and if he is contacted by someone with a heart to the prince Yuan Shang, it will be troublesome that Yuan Shao has not designated an heir yet. Among the three sons, in addition to Yuan Xi's troubles, the eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang are all staring at this position, the Jizhou faction and the Yingchuan faction support Yuan Tan, but the Nanyang faction is standing behind Yuan Shang, and now Tian Feng is imprisoned, Xu Yu is reprimanded, Yan Liangwen is ugly and ugly, the vitality of the Jizhou faction is greatly damaged, and the Yingchuan faction is soft-spoken.
After listening to Feng Ji's explanation, Yuan Shang pinched the wine lord with three fingers, and said with some worry: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou are my right-hand men, and now that both stations are damaged, it is easy to rub the sharp spirit of our army, and it is not easy for the army to march south, so if it goes on, how can I go back to Yecheng to see Tian Yuanhao?" β
Tian Yuanhao is Tian Feng, the first strategist in the shogunate, he strongly opposed the southward movement before the war, but was imprisoned by Yuan Shao in anger, Yuan Shao's words did not accuse anyone, but those who are familiar with him can hear that he is now very dissatisfied Yuan Shao is not afraid of casualties, only afraid of injury, Yan Liangwen's ugly death is not a pity, but let Yuan Shao lose face in front of Tian Feng, which is a big taboo.
Feng Ji also realized this, and was thinking about how to explain, when a person stood up next to him: "Congratulations to Yuan Gong!" β
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was stunned, who is talking nonsense? Countless lines of sight swept around, and finally focused on an elegant man with a long white beard, only to see that his ears were hanging down his shoulders, his arms were over his arms, and he was born in an unusual person.
"Liu Bei?" Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, and the wine lord unconsciously skewed a little: "Your Excellency said congratulations to me, I don't know where the joy comes from?" β
Yan Liangwen's ugly death is all related to his second brother Guan Yu, Yuan Shao hasn't spared the effort to clean him up, but this guy took the initiative to jump out, and a group of staff members are thinking, this makes it impossible to find death?
Liu Bei's face was calm, he glanced at Feng Ji who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and now a small defeat is a sign of great victory, shouldn't he congratulate the general?" β
Feng Ji didn't want to relieve himself of the siege was actually Liu Bei, this uncle of the Han Emperor who didn't know if it was true or not, how could this guy be a survivor of the Battle of Yanjin, how could he say such a bastard
Yuan Shao twisted his body slightly: "Xuande Gong, I would like to hear about it!" β
Liu Bei arched his hand to Yuan Shao, his eyes were burning and shining: "The way of the art of war, Qi Zheng is right, Cao Jun has Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and they are full of tricks, which is exposing their dilemma of being poor on the right path, poor rat tooth civet, the general will not understand." β
Yuan Shao tilted his head, propped his left elbow on the table, and stretched forward: "Poor rat-toothed rat, well, you mean that Cao Cao is now at the end of his rope, so he hopes to use these two battles to provoke me and have an early decisive battle with him?" β
"Originally, Cao Gong wanted to defend, and our army wanted to fight, but now he is unusual, eager to provoke the general's anger, doesn't the general taste anything?" Liu Bei was kind and seductive, and his fair face was full of sincerity.
"You're saying that he has concerns elsewhere, so the battle of Guandu can't drag on for too long?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.
Liu Bei stroked his hair lightly and said approvingly: "The general is right, Cao Gong's hidden dangers are a lot, so he can only fight quickly, the art of war is cloudy: the enemy is not prepared, the enemy is unprepared, the enemy does not want, now Cao Cao wants to fight, our army might as well change the rapid attack to slow defense, attack in defense, Xu Tu gradually, step by step, steady and steady, in this way, Cao Cao can only consume grain and straw in Guandu, dilemma, if at this time the Quartet is in the four directions" He said this, his eyes flashed, his arms were spread, and he suddenly closed his palms and made a crisp snapping sound, It's like swatting a mosquito to death.
Before Yuan Shao could express his position, the judge jumped out and shouted: "Joke, Cao's army is less than 100,000, and our army has 600,000. Hehe, Liu Xuande, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two generals, were killed by your brother Guan Yu, and now the lord didn't take you, but you said cool things! β
Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Do you know why General Wen Chou asked me to accompany the army?" β
The judge sneered: "It must be that you want to secretly communicate with your second brother, want to deceive and kill General Wen Chou, and cut off my lord's arm!" β
Liu Bei seemed to have been greatly hurt, his eyes showed sadness, his jaw trembled slightly, and he looked like he was about to cry, he took a lot of effort to hold back his tears and pointed to Feng Ji: "What my intentions are, Yuan Tu knows everything!" β
Just now he explained for Feng Ji, but now Feng Ji naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to sigh and explain: "I got the news before that Guan Yu may be in the Cao army's array, so I asked Xuande Gong to act with General Wen Chou, in order to meet Guan Yu again and persuade him to join our army, even if he can't, it can disturb his heart!" β
In fact, Liu Bei was forced by Feng Ji to be a hostage with the army, if Guan Yu did not obey, he would be killed on the spot, and now Liu Bei is taking advantage of this in turn, even if Feng Ji knows it, he can only echo it.
After Feng Ji finished explaining, Guo Tu did not relax: "Let you defend in every way, the result is not the same, General Wen Chou was killed, but you Liu Bei ran back unscathed?" Guo Tu snorted coldly, biting Liu Bei to death, biting Liu Bei even if he bit Feng Ji, biting Feng Ji is biting the key point of the Nanyang faction.
At this time, Yuan Shao coughed unhappily, Guo Tu quickly shut up, Yuan Shao said to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong is a righteous gentleman and an uncle of the Han Emperor, how can he harm me?" Xuande, drink some honey and speak slowly."
Liu Bei wiped the corners of his eyes with his clothes, took a glass of honey and took two sips, and then continued: "General Wenchou was killed, it is not expected, but I have made an agreement with my second brother. β
"Oh? But General Guan is coming to vote for me? Yuan Shao showed a little excitement.
Liu Bei shook his head: "The second brother is going north now, he will be killed by Cao Cao, so I will let him go south and join me in Runan, and he can also serve the general."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "Xuande, Xuande, no wonder Cao Apu takes such a fancy to you, there is really a set!" β
Runan is the ancestral land of the Yuan family, and the protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the place, Liu Bei said that he went to Runan, with the intention of naturally intensifying Cao Cao's many hidden dangers, and creating a strategy for Yuan Shao to start up in all directions, Guo Tu asked unwillingly: "Runan is now strictly guarded by Li Tong and Manzhong, what is the use of you going?" β
Liu Bei stroked his palms and smiled: "They can only keep the city without losing, the field is the world of bandits, when I was in Xuzhou a while ago, the Yellow Turban Liu Pi and Gong Du had resisted Cao Cao with me, and after my defeat, they retreated to the mountains and forests, if I return to Runan, they will definitely be used by me!" β
What else did Guo Tu say, Yuan Shao put the wine lord down, stood up, and raised his right arm upward, this was his signature action, which meant that the four major things were announced immediately, and the ministers couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully. (To be continued.) )
