When Sun Qian walked into the Sikong Mansion meeting hall, he saw Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others all there. ww.w.yan+kuai.c.om couldn't help but think of what Chen Deng said, and was suddenly full of confidence.

He stepped forward to salute.

Cao Cao's face in the hall was indeed not white, and he did not see joy or anger, and said indifferently: "What is the so-called matter of Gongyou here?" ”

Sun Qian said: "My lord wants to join hands with Ming Gong to jointly crusade against Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Cao was stunned.

Sun Qian smiled and said, "My lord has taken back Xuzhou from Yuan Benchu's hands. His face turned pale and said solemnly: "Yuan Benchu disobeyed the imperial court, and even led the army to attack the imperial court capital. is not a minister, but a thief. ”

Ah! Cao Cao was even more surprised.

Subsequently, Cao Cao sent Sun Qian with good words, and he was saying that he would send someone to inquire about the news. Xuzhou's detailed work came and reported the specific situation.

It turned out that Liu Bei seemed to be the same as he had previously recaptured Xuzhou from Cao Cao, and he killed Gao Lan, the general of Yuan's army, while Yuan Tan fled. He originally had popularity in Xuzhou, and with the help of Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others of the Xuzhou clan, he successfully took charge of Xuzhou.

"It's faster than the news of the horses." Cao Cao frowned, obviously, after Liu Bei captured Xuzhou, he sent Sun Qian as soon as possible. And Liu Bei's purpose, Cao Cao has also seen it. It's nothing more than that Liu Bei doesn't have the strength to face Yuan Shao alone and wants to form an alliance with him.

This is the case, Liu Bei has already calculated and recaptured Xuzhou to fight against Yuan Shao. This time, Cao Cao's strength was crippled. And Liu Bei, who learned the lessons of the last two times, vowed not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Cao Cao was very angry and said to all the strategists: "In the world, there is such a brazen person as Liu Xuande. With a knife in the back, take Xuzhou from me, take Xuzhou from Yuan Shao, and have the face to form an alliance with me. ”

However, most of the obscurity on the faces of the strategists in the hall disappeared, Guo Jia got up and said: "Lord, although Liu Bei has captured Xuzhou again, this is also our opportunity. ”

Xun Yujin said: "The lord must not refuse Liu Bei, who knows what Yuan Shao will do." If Yuan Shao admits the reality, then he is very likely to join forces with Liu Bei, and our army will be in danger. ”

How could Cao Cao not figure it out, if he pushed Liu Bei out, he would push Liu Bei to Yuan Shao.

So, Cao Cao ordered Emperor Xian of Han to issue an edict, appointing Liu Bei as the general of the Zhenjun and the pastor of Xuzhou, and another edict was issued to order Liu Bei to crusade against the national thief Yuan Shao.

After Liu Bei received the edict, he declared war on Yuan Shao in the name of the emperor's uncle and the general of the town army.

And Yuan Shao, who first got Liu Bei's rebellion in Xuzhou, and then won the Cao-Liu Alliance, was almost mad, and there were no words to describe the anger of this northern overlord. In addition, the fourth and third princes turned out to be national thieves, and the whole world seemed to come to crusade against him. However, there was no way, Cao Cao controlled the imperial court, and the imperial court said that whoever is a national thief is.

Yuan Shao was furious, and his troops were divided into three routes, all the way Yan Liang and Feng Ji attacked Xuzhou, all the way Wen Chou and Xin Ping attacked Xuchang, and all the way Zhang He and Guo Tu attacked Tiger Prison.

However, the attack on the Tiger Prison was fruitless.

The soldiers and horses attacking Xuzhou fell into Chen Deng's plan and were defeated by Guan Zhang.

The soldiers and horses attacking Xuchang were calculated by Guo Jia and others, and were surrounded by generals like Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Ban, and they were almost wrapped in dumplings.

Liu Bei stormed Qingzhou, and Cao Cao, after a beautiful turnaround battle outside Xuchang, seized a large amount of supplies, grain and grass from Yuan's army. So, he led the army to Guandu again.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao was in danger from day to day.

Yuan Shao was defeated repeatedly and passed through the cell in one day. The imprisoned frustrated professor shouted: "The former virtuous Yuan Gong has gone, why is he pro-villain Yuan Xianchen? ”

The gap between the front and back is too big, and Yuan Shao, who has aged for decades in an instant, really began to learn from the pain. So, he reactivated Tian Feng, frustrated, and returned to the way he used to be when he first entered Jizhou. Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others were completely killed, and Yuan Shao was cleared out of the strategist group.

Although Yuan Shao was defeated repeatedly, Gao Yuan's victory in Guandu in the early stage was indelible, and it was also a fact that Yuan Shao captured Xuzhou himself in the middle period. These victories greatly damaged the territory of Cao Cao and now Liu Bei. Therefore, in terms of war potential, Yuan Shao still has an advantage that no one can surpass, that is, Cao Cao and Liu Bei join forces, but it is just like Cao Cao in the early stage.

But Yuan Shao was defeated in the later stage after all.

After the resumption of the confrontation between Guandu, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu still advocated before the battle of Guandu: to defend instead of attack, neither onslaught nor defend to the death. Instead, it was mainly garrisoned, and troops were sent to attack and harass all parts of the Central Plains. With the power of the four states, they will definitely be able to consume Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who are like the wind and candles in their last years.

Yuan Shao did not retreat from his words, but controlled the strategic place of Guandu with heavy troops, deterred and could attack the hinterland of the Central Plains at any time, and could support Qingzhou at any time.

However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not sit idly by, maintain military confrontation, and develop and tap local potential.

At this point, the tripartite war in the Central Plains entered a stage of strategic stalemate.

In July, Gao Yuan's envoy came to Xudu.

The eyes of the people of the world are on the battle of the Central Plains, and with the envoy of Gao Yuan coming to the imperial capital, they know that on the far northern border, a young man named Gao Yuan drove away the Tartar humiliation and recovered the rivers and mountains.

This is a great achievement in foreign warfare, much stronger than the princes of the Central Plains melee. For a time, Gao Yuan's prestige went straight to the night, and the whole world began to spread his bloody deeds of fighting bloody battles to repel the Huns and Xianbei people.

Xu Du, Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion.

In the conference hall, Cao Cao frowned, as soon as he thought of Gao Yuan, he was upset all over his body, and "fear of heights" had a precursor. He can't wait to strangle Gao Yuan, and he can only relieve his hatred by dismantling eight pieces. However, in such a matter as recovering rivers and mountains, even Cao Mengde did not dare to come blindly.

If he dares to erase his lofty merits, or just treat it slowly, then he will lose his trust in the world. He is fighting against Yuan Shao, if this is the case, but it confirms his charge of holding the Son of Heaven hostage, then it will really kill him.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao was quite unhappy, and looked at the people in the hall.

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao was very angry, but he still said: "Lord, Gao Mengyan's merits are indelible. It is better to give him an official position and separate the relationship between him and Yuan Benchu. ”

Although Cao Cao was angry, he also thought so, "Then give Gao Mengyan ......." He shook his body, and then continued: "How about giving him the official position of governor of the state, and the governor of the state and the soldiers and horses?" ”

"The lord is high." Guo Jia said with a smile.

The strategists also understood that Gao Yuan and Yuan Shao were two people, but they shared a merger. Gao Yuan became the governor of the state and had the right to control the soldiers and horses of the entire state. Yuan's original virtue is absolutely not tolerated.

And Gao Yuan, as long as he is an ambitious person, will definitely use this name to seek benefits for himself.

Gao Yuan has no ambitions? All the strategists under Cao Cao shook their heads together, they had already seen it, "Gao Mengyan's ambition is probably greater than that of Cao Gong!" ”

In this way, the two sides will fight, which is very beneficial to Cao Cao.

In August, under the background of troubled times, Gao Yuan became a national hero with the merits of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and his reputation spread all over the world. For a time, people all over the world admired and longed to see. At the same time, there was also the news that he had been appointed governor of the state.

……

It is said that Yuan Shao finally settled down his injured heart in Guandu, and in his opinion, it was a big deal to regard it as an early victory. Just start from scratch, after all, he still has the initiative, which is the foundation of his ability to calm down.

However, when Gao Yuan was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of the state, the news of the governor and the state soldiers came. Only then did the northern overlord remember that there was such a figure behind him, and he couldn't sit still at all.

In the conference hall, Yuan Shao stood up and shouted: "Okay, all the merits of co-authoring the recovery of rivers and mountains belong to Gao Mengyan, and co-authoring has nothing to do with me!" In his opinion, these achievements should be his original origin. As a result, he will gain higher prestige, so as to win the hearts and minds of the people in the world, so as to lay a solid foundation for the change of dynasty in the future.

However, at this moment, all these merits belonged to Gao Mengyan, and Yuan Shao was angry, "This son is really a big trouble, and he must be dealt with quickly!" ”
