The tripartite forces are in full swing, and there are generally three different outcomes in such a situation.

One is that no one can help anyone, so the three parties are safe; One is that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu reached an alliance to carve up Xuzhou, and publicly attacked Tan County; One is that Tao Qian and Yuan Shu united to jointly crusade against Cao Cao. As for uniting Cao Cao to crusade against Yuan Shu or something, it is naturally not considered.

Yuan Shu really wants to prove that he is better than Yuan Shao, which can be found by anyone who cares.

He and Yuan Shao are both born by the same father, the difference is that Yuan Shao is the concubine born to a concubine, and he is the concubine born to a wife. In terms of age, he can be regarded as Yuan Shao's younger brother, but since ancient times, the descendants are different, and those who can inherit the family are often the eldest sons.

It's just that since he was born, the intelligent Yuan Shao has been pressing him Yuan Shu, so that everyone knows that there is such a Yuan Benchu, but not many people know him Yuan Dao. Since ancient times, there has also been a saying that Yuan Shu has a sense of crisis.

Sure enough, as the princes fought against Dong, the older generation of Yuan Valve was killed, and Yuan Shao divided at least fifty percent of Yuan Valve's resources and began to recruit troops and horses in Bohai to expand his power. However, he Yuan Shu could only rely on the remaining resources, first separating Nanyang and Yuzhou, and then attacking the Jianghuai region.

It's a pity that Nanyang was finally taken away by Liu Bei, and even Yuzhou was not spared. Although Yuan Shao's side was also defeated by Fang Yun, compared to himself, the situation was at least much better.

This made Yuan Shu very unconvinced, and the idea of wanting to prove his ability naturally became even stronger.

Rescuing Tao Qian may be an opportunity. On the premise that no one admits that the Han has perished, he Yuan Shu and Tao Qian are actually Han courtiers, including Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao launched an attack on Xuzhou without receiving an edict, and at worst, he took revenge openly regardless of the friendship of his colleagues. Let the big one say that it is a real rebellion.

In fact, no matter which one it is, Cao Cao's behavior is obviously out of order, so crusading against him can get a positive evaluation. Yuan Shu's rescue of Tao Qian this time was largely in the hope of consolidating his prestige by defeating Cao Cao, who had a similar evaluation as Yuan Shao, and also indirectly in this way. to show that 'I am better than Yuan Shao'.

Of course, on this premise, it is also acceptable to blackmail Tao Qian to cede the land of one or two counties. The Maison has the Maison's trading model. Some things don't need to be obtained through war at all. To wage war for the sake of territory, in Yuan Shu's opinion, such behavior can only be regarded as a crude practice.

The result of the blackmail is that Tao Qian is still his Xuzhou assassin history, but the two counties under his rule, military power and personnel power will fall into his hands. Nominally under the rule of Tao Qian. In fact, it's clear whose territory it is.

It's just that such a result will at least not be criticized, and it will rarely be blamed for anything.

What Yuan Shu didn't know was that there were also people from the dark side around him, and there was no habit of secrecy in ancient times, so this purpose naturally passed on through the mouth of well-intentioned people, and finally became specific information and fell into the hands of Zhang He.

In this way, it is convenient for him to make a choice! However, the problem is not with him, but with Tao Qian!

In order to be able to expel Cao Cao. How much can he pay? And with this support, what is the maximum he hopes to achieve?

The three of them visited Tao Qian, spoke their minds, and sat there. It was Tao Qian who asked for help, and Xuzhou was his territory, which step he hoped to achieve, this was not for Zhang He to decide. The more he needed, the higher the price he obviously had to pay, otherwise why would Fang Yun help him?

Even if they are allies, the spheres of influence of the two sides are thousands of miles apart. Long-distance inbreeding and close attack can be regarded as such a reason. It's just that if he doesn't give enough compensation, Fang Yun doesn't want to work so hard.

"The general can help each other, and Tao is not easy to handle too much. What if that were the case? If Cao Cao can be repelled this time, and Yuan Shujun can withdraw from Xuzhou. In Peiguo and Pengcheng County, Xu gave it to the general. All personnel appointments and dismissals and army transfers in the two counties are decided by the general, and Tao no longer interferes! If Cao Cao is repelled, but Yuan Shu does not leave, then Tao can let Xiapi County out and let the general arrange it! Tao Qian thought for a moment. It also gives its own price code.

The land of the two counties, to be honest, is really placed in Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shao is a very rich bargaining chip. It's just that for Fang Yun, who actually occupies Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou Dai County and most of the counties in Jizhou, this chip is a little less. According to his meaning, it must be at least half of Xuzhou.

Considering that Tao Qian has about a year to live, it is not easy to force too much. After his death, it may not be impossible to take over the rest of the territory. Especially during this period of time, the relationship between him and Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, who were important ministers under Tao Qian, was not bad, and the two families also had a good impression of Fang Yun's forces.

With their support, it is not a strange thing for Xuzhou to change hands, and naturally there is nothing to worry about. What's more, it's just another year, and it is obviously impossible for Bingzhou and Jizhou to send troops under construction, so it is also a good choice to concentrate on the Xuzhou battlefield.

"Our lord agrees to your conditions, so at this stage, I hope that Lord Assassin Shi will send a letter to Yuan Shu, stating that as long as you jointly crusade against Cao Cao, you are willing to share the interests of Xuzhou with him after the war!" Zhang He got the reply, combined with the bottom line given by Fang Yun, and said to Tao Qian very calmly.

"It's not a problem, it's just that after repelling Cao's army, doesn't Yuan Shu have an excuse to stay in Xuzhou?" Tao Qian was worried.

"This letter is about the previous agreement between you and him, but it is not an agreement between our army and them!" Zhang He said slowly.

"I see, since that's the case, Tao sent him a letter." Tao Qian is also a personal essence, and suddenly smiled.

After a short time, he wrote a letter and ordered someone to hurry up and send it to Shouchun to Yuan Shu.

At the same time, he was also actively preparing for the war, and gathered 10,000 horses and handed them over to the loving general Cao Bao, who cooperated with Zhang He to face Cao Cao.

On the other hand, Cao Cao had already begun to enter Donghai County, and with almost no obstacles, he began to march rapidly towards Tan County, and it would take no more than two days to reach Tan County.

In two days, although Yuan Shu had not yet received the letter, Ji Ling and others on the front line had received it. In Sun Ce's opinion, it doesn't matter whether this letter is or not, is it possible that he Tao Gongzu still expects him to spit out the swallowed Xia Pi County?

But Ji Ling was very interested in the content of the letter, in his opinion. This is the most in line with the desired results of Yuan Shu. So he proposed to quickly go to Tan County to rescue, lest Tao Qian be defeated by Cao Cao, and the content of this agreement could not be fulfilled.

Sun Ce is not in a hurry. What does it have to do with Tao Qian whether he dies or not, it is best for him and Cao Cao to fight to the death, so that they can benefit from the fish. With the least cost, force Tao Qian to come up with greater benefits.

Ji Ling is also a military general, so he naturally knows this truth. But if you don't go to the vicinity of Tan County, I'm afraid you can't say it. He told Sun Ce about this concern, and Sun Ce had no choice but to order the march. There is no need to be too close to Tan County, just be on standby fifty miles south of Tan County. Ji Ling had no objection to this, so the army quickly marched out.

At this moment, Cao Cao had already approached the city of Tanxian and surrounded it.

"Tao Qian'er, you killed my father, Cao and you don't share the sky! However, I feel that God has the virtue of a good life. I can't bear to let the people of Xuzhou be buried with you, but I can give you a chance.

This time, as long as you are captured, Cao can give you a whole corpse, and he is guaranteed to leave you a bloodline. The most important thing is that Cao promised not to further massacre the people of Xuzhou! However, if you don't know the current affairs, then it will only make more and more people in Xuzhou die because of you! Cao Cao personally rode his horse to the city and shouted.

According to him, it was not him Cao Cao who was wrong, it was Tao Qian, who slaughtered the city. Any tomb robbery is Tao Qian's fault...... I don't know why it's always a bit of a secondary two...... Come to think of it, if you don't find a suitable excuse for slaughtering all the way, you will inevitably feel uneasy in conscience.

"Cao Cao's horseman! For your own desires. Ignoring the laws of the Han Dynasty, he brazenly launched an attack on other states and slaughtered the people of the Han Dynasty, which is really in vain as a son of man! Tao Qian couldn't be provoked, and directly climbed the city wall and roared.

"Hmph, toast and don't eat and drink! Thunderbolt, on! "Cao Cao was originally here for revenge. Seeing the enemy insulting himself so blatantly, it would be strange if he felt comfortable. So with a wave of his hand, more than 30 catapults quickly appeared in the army.

This is a technology he got by chance, and it was offered by his courtier Liu Ye. It's just that compared with Fang Yun's thunderbolt, the accuracy and standardization of parts are much worse. This kind of catapult, as long as a part is broken, almost the entire catapult is completely scrapped. The only thing that can't be denied is that it's still a very powerful siege weapon!

When he saw the thunderbolt car appear, Tao Qian immediately shrank his head, and Zhang He was inevitably a little surprised when he saw the thunderbolt car, and secretly said Isn't this our army's siege weapon thunderbolt? This Cao Cao, when did he steal the secrets of our army?

If you look closely, you will be happy, this thunderbolt is missing a lot of parts. The accuracy, range, and strike force are all lower than the Thunderbolts of our own army, and I don't know how many levels. Come to think of it, this Cao Cao didn't steal completely, that is, he couldn't draw a tiger into an anti-dog.

It's just that even so, it can still throw stone projectiles to attack the city wall, so it has to be guarded.

"General, let me go! A certain cavalryman can quickly destroy his gadgets! Yang Feng stepped forward to ask for battle.

"No, let me go! Trapping the camp is invincible! "Gao Shun is also asking for war.

"That's good, Gao Shun is in charge of the main attack, and Yang Feng is in charge of sweeping the formation. If there is something to be done, then destroy the opponent's thunderbolt. If you can't do anything, you can quickly go back. Of course, don't let the enemy's troops take advantage of it. Zhang He thought about it and gave a pertinent opinion.

The trapping camp is a hoplite, not fast but extremely strong in attack, even against the upper horse army, it may not be inferior; Yang Feng is good at using cavalry, but his overall ability is much worse than that of the trapped camp, so it is the best choice to sweep the formation from the side.

"Whoa!" Whether the two of them are satisfied with this result or not, but since the military order has been issued, they are naturally ordered to fight. (To be continued.) )

PS: Three-legged, alliance with others to ask for one person is obviously the most correct way, better than being attacked by Cao Cao and Yuan Shu cooperation.

And the one who signed the agreement was just Tao Qian.
