Chapter 386: Cao Ying
Yuan Shao put the wine lord down, stood up, and raised his right arm upward, which 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.
"One thing, I'm afraid you don't know yet, news has just come from Dongshan, Sun Ce died of injuries in Huiji, and his younger brother Sun Quan took over as the lord of Jiangdong with the assistance of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu."
The news exploded in the hall, and the people present were surprised, Sun Ce's assassination in Dantu had long been known, but he was so seriously injured, and he died in Huangquan within a few days, and the reason why people were surprised was because his father was also attacked and killed, and both father and son were fierce tigers among people, and the way of death was all embarrassing.
Yuan Shao enjoyed the surprise of his ministers, and deliberately let them talk about it before continuing: "Sun Jian was attacked and killed in Jiangxia, everyone thinks that Huang Zu did it, but as far as I know, the person who assassinated Sun Jian was my stupid brother Yuan Shu."
Sun Jian is recognized by the world as the Jiangdong Tiger, as the saying goes: there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, Sun Jian is so brave, and the soldiers under his command are naturally all brave and good at fighting, when Sun Jian attached to Yuan Shu, established a lot of meritorious achievements, and laid a lot of cities for Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu has always been worried that Sun Jian will support the army and respect himself, plus Yuan Shu is narrow-minded, and he will repay him, how can he tolerate Sun Jian, when he was in the Tiger Prison, he wanted to borrow Lu Bu's hand to get rid of Sun Jian, but it was not successful, From that moment on, there was a gap in the relationship between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu's ministers, which laid the foundation for Sun Jian's future death.
"There is news from Dongshan that Sun Ce's death is inseparable from Cao Cao, presumably this is a means taken by Cao Cao in order to eliminate the hidden dangers in the south and concentrate on the decisive battle with me." Saying this, Yuan Shao proudly raised his right index finger and pointed it at the corner of his eye: "It's a pity that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts." As soon as Sun Ce died, he also liberated another tiger. β
The staff present are not mediocre, and they all immediately think of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Biao and Sun Ce's father and son have reached the point of life and death, and they have fought each other across the river for many years. It is because of Sun Ce's involvement, and now that Sun Ce is dead, this tiger should let go.
"Xuande's words are very reasonable, before our army was in a hurry, so that there was the defeat of Baima and Yanjin, and now the main force of our army crossed the river, Wuchao Daze has been shared by me and Cao Cao, and the decisive battle is no longer necessary, Cao Cao wants to fight. I will consume with him, and when the Quartet can get up, he can only bow down to me, and then the whole world will be my Yuan family! β
Although Liu Bei had a smile on his face, he sneered in his heart, Yuan Shao thought that he had defeated Cao Cao, and the world was his Yuan Shao's, but he didn't know that there was a real tiger in the West. Besides, Yuan Shao wanted to win against Cao Cao. It's a bit of a hang.
Getting back to business, when Yuan Shao said this, he lost no time in stretching his right arm forward and pointing south, his voice was high-spirited and high-spirited: "Pass my order." The armies should not go deep easily, use the black nest as a stronghold, and slowly oppress the past, as for Runan, it will be entrusted to you Xuande! β
Only then did everyone realize. After Yuan Shao received the news of Sun Ce's death, he had already made the decision to delay the attack, and when he was talking about the defeat of Yanjin, he mentioned it by the way, Liu Bei, the old fox, had a keen sense of smell, and expressed his position early, which not only cleaned Guan Yu's responsibility for killing Yan Liangwen and Chou, but also occupied the party in the Quartet, which can be said to have taken the lead, fortunately, he will soon go to Runan, and it is better for all the staff of the shogunate to be robbed of the limelight by him.
Attentive staff noticed that the news of Sun Ce's death was secretly reported to Yuan Shao by Dongshan, that is to say, Yuan Shao's huge change is like a copy of Dong Cheng's plan, but Sun Ce was replaced by Liu Biao, Liu Bei was changed from Xuzhou to Runan, Dong Cheng used Sun Ce and Liu Bei Quartet to prepare to launch a coup d'Γ©tat in Xudu, but in the end he was recognized by Man Zhong and Xun Yu, and the nine clans were destroyed. Just scratched his itch, no wonder Yuan Shao was full of ambition, changed to hurry, and didn't even care about the losses of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Thinking of this, more than one person sighed in his heart: This Liu Bei's grasp of people's hearts is really slightly higher than them, but Guo Tu secretly laughed, his accusation just now was deliberate, Yuan Shao's character is to refute others, only to show his cleverness, he deliberately sang the opposite, Yuan Shao's plan is even more foolproof.
After the deliberations were over, all the ministers returned to their respective camps to convey Yuan Shao's supreme instructions and waited for Liu Bei to rise up in Runan.
Time entered March, in addition to the Xichuan dispute between LΓΌ Bu and Liu Zhang, the northern rivalry between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also made the world look sideways, and the battle of Yuan Cao had a violent collision in early April, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
On the battlefield of Yanjin, Wen Chou first defeated Hu Che'er, who surrendered to Cao Cao, and then was killed by Cao's general Guan Yu in Yanjin with superior forces, and it is rumored that Liu Bei also participated in this battle, and also collected the defeated army in time, so as not to form a rout, it is said that Liu Bei also faced his second brother Guan Yu directly, but this statement has not been confirmed in any way, because Guan Yu remained in Cao's camp, and Liu Bei also returned to Baima.
But Yuan Shao is not for nothing, on the battlefield of Wuchao, Chun Yuqiong took Wuchao as the center and launched several battles with the main force of the Cao army, the terrain of Wuchao Daze is complex, and the two armies can not develop too many troops, otherwise Yuan Shao's army can drown the Cao army with a mouthful of foam, so the two sides also have their own victories and defeats, originally Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin have carried out a threatening encirclement of the reinforcements, but suddenly retreated inexplicably, although Yan Liangwen and Chou two generals were killed, but the strength advantage of the Yuan army has not diminished at all, After occupying Wuchao, Yuan's army was divided into three routes, marching violently from the three directions of Wuchao, Wuyuan, and Boiling, and Mount Tai fell towards Guandu like a top, and Cao's army could only rely on Yangwu north of Guandu to harass, and it was only a matter of time before Guandu was completely withdrawn.
This kind of situation, even if it is just deduced on a graph, can feel a strong pressure, at least for most people.
Cao Jun camp, Guo Jia pinched his chin, concentrating on deducing the map, Xun Yu and Xun Yu watched intently on the side, without disturbing him at all, for a moment, Guo Jia sighed, threw all the terracotta warriors in the basket, and lay on the floor weakly.
"Do you want to know why Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin lost that battle?" Guo Jia was lying on the floor, his eyes closed, and he didn't mean to get up at all.
"The Nest Thief?" Xun You picked up the terracotta warriors in the basket and began to deduce on the cowhide map, without raising his eyelids.
"I can't hide anything from you!" Guo Jia sat up and grinned: "Yes, those guys have already died down, but recently they have suddenly become active, continuously harassing the logistics, scouts and small forces of the Cao army, when the two armies of Xiahou and Le planned to encircle Chun Yuqiong, several of our army's mid-range generals were assassinated, and even General Xiahoudun almost blinded one eye!" β
Xun You was silent, deducing the map on the cowhide map and devouring the figurines, as if an artist was concentrating on carving his own artwork.
Xun Yuhu raised an eye suspiciously: "Those people in your hands, it's impossible not to hear the wind at all!" β
"Do you know Wang Yue?" Guo Jia asked lightly.
"Wang Yue?" Xun You, who was deducing the map, was stunned, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia suspiciously.
"That's right, it's the Tiger Ben Zhonglang general Wang Yue back then, the sword master of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, who can be regarded as a god teacher, and he did it!" Guo Jia easily picked out the mastermind behind the scenes: "He had an old relationship with the Black Nest Thief when he was a ranger, and the relationship has always been very good, this time he used both force and heavy money to persuade the five thieves of the Black Nest Thief to cooperate with Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao!" β
"I heard that Wang Yue's martial arts are very good, except for a person named Tong Yuan, there seems to be no one who is his opponent" Xun You also stopped deducing, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu divided the east, west and south directions, facing each other in a triangle.
Xun Yu shook his head: "You haven't seen Lu Bu before, right?" Back then, Feng Xian and I had nothing to do, and quietly went to see the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, that Lu Bu was really powerful, in the face of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng, Zhang He's attack, I was stunned to stab Han Meng with a halberd under the horse, Yuan Shao's general Gao Lan was also cut into two sections by Huang Zhong, the general under Lu Bu's account, that battle was really exciting, if he hadn't killed Yuan Shao's henchmen in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, I'm afraid our battle would have been even more difficult! β
Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu, and the smile on his face was even louder: "If I hadn't gone to your mansion back then, I'm afraid I would have become his courtier by now!" β
Xun You said: "What's the matter? β
"The reason why Zhongde is under Lu Bu's tent now is because he was arrested by Lu Bu, and I heard that he also sent someone to arrest me!" Guo Jia explained lightly.
Xun Yu sneered: "Actually, Yuan Shao is not the great enemy of the lord, then Lu Bu's threat is even greater than Yuan Shao, I just received information from Yizhou Xizuo, Lu Bu has captured Jiangyou, I am afraid that the army will soon be under the city of Chengdu!" β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "More than a month has passed since the intelligence came from Yizhou, I'm afraid that Lu Bu is now under the city of Chengdu, you can watch, the battle report of the fall of Chengdu will come soon!" β
"With the addition of Yizhou and Hanzhong, he Lu Bu monopolizes one-tenth of the world of this big man, and he is really an opponent that cannot be underestimated!" Guo Jia coughed a few times and said with a little effort.
Before Xun Yu and Xun You could answer, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the three of them turned their heads and forgot to go over, and after seeing the comer, they hurriedly got up to greet each other. (To be continued.) )
