"This ......"

Frustrated and choked, he was not good at flattery, and he didn't know what to do if he had been choking.

At this time, everything is adding fuel to the fire, not only will it not be able to do anything, but it will only stimulate Yuan Shao.

Fu Zhi and Tian Feng exchanged a look, and they were a little uneasy for no reason.

Since Yuan Shao unified Hebei, he has gradually changed, becoming better and better, rejoicing in his achievements, and being rigid and self-serving, he used to be able to listen to Tian Feng and the words of frustration when he was weak, but now he is ambitious, and it is difficult to listen to the advice of the people.

This is really not a good thing for the hegemony of the Hebei Army.

Although the Hebei army can be said to have the advantage in all aspects, the two are really not optimistic, and the reason for the lord is that the lord Yuan Shao is cunning and wise, and compared with Cao Cao and the fierce and scheming Luo Zheng, Yuan Shao has become more and more arrogant, and he is more and more unable to listen to some good words.

Maybe this is the change of the country, and the nature is difficult to change!

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were worried, but there was nothing they could do.

Yuan Shao asked again: "What about Luo Zheng, have you ever sent troops from Hangu Pass?" ”

Guo Tu replied: "Luo Zheng's 8,000 Xiliang army gathered in Hangu Pass, and it is time to send troops now." Although there is still a Li Dao in the middle, Li Dao is just a toothless tiger, and he can't stop Luo Zheng's 80,000 army. ”

Yuan Shao frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "I want to come out and rob while the fire is burning, it's unreasonable!" ”

Tian Feng said: "Lord, Luo Zheng's dispatch of troops is a good thing for the army, and it can just disperse some of the pressure for our army." ”

Yuan Shao said unhappily: "What kind of pressure to disperse, I poured the people of Hebei to the south, and it is not a problem to sweep away Cao Agui, why do you need Luo Zheng to disperse the pressure for me, and Luo Zheng is not a good bird, this is obviously to pick peaches, is it tolerable or unbearable, to pacify the Central Plains, I will definitely give him an unforgettable lesson!" ”

Tian Feng sighed again in his heart, but he still had to say, "The lord is afraid that he has thought too much, and I think that the purpose of Luo Zheng's dispatch this time should be Cao Cao, not to compete with the lord for the Central Plains!" ”

Yuan Shao was puzzled: "What do you mean by this? ”

Tian Feng can guess in his heart, but he can't say it either.

Luo Zheng regarded Cao Cao as the number one enemy, and Tian Feng had already seen it when Luo Zheng sent an envoy to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, and even did not hesitate to sell Yuan Shao 20,000 Xiliang military horses, but if he said this, it is not difficult to imagine how Yuan Shao would react.

The soldiers of the four states of Hebei today poured their nests south to the Central Plains, which is really not suitable for much trouble.

If Yuan Shao is stimulated, something unpredictable may happen.

Tian Feng quickly turned a few thoughts and said: "How did the lord forget, our army and the Xiliang army are allies, and Luo Zheng's strategic focus has always been the Central Plains, and he wants to get rid of Cao Cao as soon as possible." Therefore, I thought that the main goal of Luo Zheng's eastward march this time should be Cao Cao, not to compete with our army for the Central Plains. ”

Yuan Shao was skeptical, and some did not believe Tian Feng's analysis.

The strategist said even more coldly: "Tian Feng, what you said is too child's play, right?" Luo Zheng's wolf ambition, this time he did his best to send the Xiliang army out of the Valley, how could he be so kind to help our army, and there was no peeping into the Central Plains. Even if Luo Zheng has always wanted to get rid of Cao Cao and then quickly, how can he be swayed by personal feelings in the major affairs of the military. If you say this, you will coax a three-year-old child, how can you win the trust of others. ”

Guo Tu, Xu You, Feng Ji, Xin Bi, Xin Ping and others all nodded, not believing that the Xiliang army would just want to get rid of Cao Cao, and would not compete with Yuan Shao for the Central Plains.

Only Frustration was silent and didn't say anything.

Tian Feng was silent, no one believed this, and he didn't know how to convince these people.

Guo Hu also said: "My lord, the only way to do this is to cross the river to the south, break the Cao army, and then return to the division to repel the Xiliang army and Jiangdong Sun Ce who came to take advantage of the fire to rob, and completely pacify the Central Plains, so as to become an immortal cause!" ”

Yuan Shao said happily: "The words of the public rule are very much in line with my wishes. ”

Frustrated, he hurriedly said: "Lord, why don't you send an elite army back to the side and attack Xuchang, so that the Cao army will inevitably return to Xuchang to rescue, then the flaws will be exposed, and our army can break the Cao army in one fell swoop, and the general trend can be determined." ”

If Yuan Shao can adopt it, and take advantage of Cao Cao's army to lead the army to attack Xuchang, it is likely to kill Cao Jun by surprise.

Even if the sneak attack fails, there will be nothing to lose.

Cao Jun is likely to expose flaws when he loses one or the other, thus giving the Hebei army a chance to win with one blow.

Only the judge who disagreed with the frustrated professor said coldly: "It is too risky for a lone army to go behind enemy lines, and I think it is inappropriate." ”

Yuan Shao thought about it, Tian Feng and the old man poured cold water recently, which did make him a little unhappy, he was not very interested in a roundabout sneak attack on Xuchang, since some people objected, some people also adopted the trial of the Jianyi, and said lightly: "What Zhengnan said is very true, it is too risky to send a lone army to go deep behind enemy lines, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other and sighed secretly.

Xiangyang, Liu Bei's official residence.

"Yuan Zhi, how is the fight between Yuan Jun and Cao Jun?"

Liu Bei paced back and forth in the hall for a while before he paused and asked Xu Shu, who was sitting at the bottom.

Xu Shu replied unhurriedly: "Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan and second son Yuan Xi are leading the army to storm Baima and Yanjin, Yuan Shao has also gathered no less than 200,000 troops in Liyang, Cao Cao has personally led 50,000 troops to the north of Guandu, I think at most half a month, Yuan Shao should raise troops to cross the river to the south, this big battle that determines the pattern of the north will soon begin." ”

"Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, hey!"

Liu Bei sighed and said: "Since the alliance of the princes in the first year of Chuping raised troops to fight against Dong, this time Yuan Shao went south to the Central Plains, which should be regarded as the largest war between the princes, right?" I don't know who will win in the end! ”

Xu Shu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but Yuan Shao is so happy and stubborn, and although the Hebei army is not less than 300,000, it is all incorporated county soldiers, and the real elite is only the 50,000 army under Yuan Shao, and the 100,000 Montenegrin army can barely fight." Although Cao Cao has few soldiers, Cao Cao is a man of great talent, and there is no shortage of wise and scheming strategists and brave generals under his command, and the 50,000 army is an elite veteran selected, this victory is really not easy to say. If the gap in strength is put aside, I think Cao Cao may win more often. ”

Liu Bei was surprised: "Yuan Shao's Hebei army is no less than 300,000, even if it is not all elite, but Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, is Yuan Zhi's inference too incredible?" ”

Xu Shu said: "So I don't dare to assert it, I can't know until the results come out!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, thought for a long time, and then said, "What is the movement between Guanzhong and Jiangdong?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Sun Ce has personally led the army to cross the river to the north, Luo conscripted troops to send a letter to Guguan, and Li Dao has begun to surrender. This time, Yuan Shao raised the people of Hebei to go south, which can be said to have affected the nerves of all parties, whether it is Luo Zheng or Sun Ce, it is estimated that they are waiting for this opportunity, no matter what the result of the battle of Guandu is, Cao Cao will inevitably not have a good time. Even if he can defeat Yuan Shao by luck in the end, he will definitely be greatly injured, and he will no longer be able to resist Luo Zheng and Sun Ce's simultaneous advance. ”

Liu Bei said: "What if Cao Cao is defeated? ”

Xu Shu said: "Not to mention, once the battle of Guandu is defeated, Cao Cao will not be far from defeat, and the Central Plains will inevitably be divided by Yuan Shao, Luo Zheng, and Sun Ce." Even if Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao, it is difficult to say whether he can keep the Central Plains. Sun Ce won't say it, this time Luo Zheng poured out of the nest, if he didn't defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, how could he retreat. ”

Liu Bei thought about it, felt that it was the same, and said, "Can our army take the opportunity to recapture Nanyang?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "This matter is urgent, at present, the lord should take the acquisition of the Jingzhou Shi clan as the first priority, and Yuan Shao raised troops to go south to the Central Plains, the situation in the world is changing, no one can say what the situation will become, and taking the liberty of intervening in this big battle between Luo Zheng, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao will only be bad for our army, not good." ”

Although Liu Bei was very unwilling, he was very able to listen to the advice, and sighed when he heard the words: "It's a pity that our army can't do anything about such a great opportunity!" However, what Yuan Zhi said was also right, our army would not intervene first. ”

The two discussed for a while, and Xu Shu resigned from the official residence.

was about to go back to the house, but when he arrived at the gate of the house, he asked the coachman to turn around and go outside the city.

Twenty miles away in the northern suburbs of Xiangyang, under a hill, there are several reed houses and several acres of paddy fields.

At noon, in a wheat field, a young man of about twenty was bent over hoeing. There are a few younger Xiao Si next to him who are helping, looking at the appearance, dressed as a scholar, all with fine skin and tender meat.

The weather is a little hot, the sun is sweaty, and the young people are plowing while waving their sleeves to wipe their sweat from time to time.

Far away, the carriage stopped, Xu Shu got out of the carriage, and walked slowly while enjoying the scenery.

"Kong Ming, you are really happy with the countryside!"

Xu Shu walked to the ground, stopped and looked at it for a long time before saying hello.

This young man who is working in the field is none other than Zhuge Liang, a Langya man who moved to Xiangyang with his younger siblings a few years ago, and studied by himself.

"Zi is not a fish, you know the joy of fish!"

Zhuge Liang replied without replying, and said: "Brother Yuanzhi will be fine soon!" ”

"You go on, I'm not in a hurry!"

Xu Shu was not in a hurry, so he walked on the terrier and enjoyed the pastoral scenery.

After waiting for about half an hour, Kong Ming finished hoeing the grass in this wheat field, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, handed the hoe to Xiao Si next to him, and beckoned Xu Shu to say: "Since Brother Yuan is so leisurely, let's go to the cold house to drink a cup of tea!" ”

"Just waiting for your words!"

Xu Shu smiled, looked at a few of Kong Ming's Xiaosi, and followed Zhuge Liang to the reed house not far away. R1152
