Qingzhou, Gaotang.

Zhu Ling led 10,000 vanguard troops, taking advantage of the dark night, quickly crossed the river to attack the city, Yuan Tan led the army Subsequently, the Gao Tang guard Peng Xuan took advantage of the city to hold on, he wanted to ask Kong Rong for help, but Kong Rong is now unable to protect himself, and how can he have the kung fu to save him.

Looking at the murderous reinforcements on all sides, Peng Xuan knew that this was in danger, so he simply opened the city gate and led the crowd to surrender to Yuan Tan in exchange for his own thoughtfulness.

Yuan Tan easily took down Gao Tang, he was very proud in his heart, and rode a tall horse into the city proudly.

Xin Ping was also very proud, but when he saw the information coming from the front, his brows tightened, and he hurriedly reported the situation to Yuan Tan.

"Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to sneak attack Beihai, the two sides are at a stalemate, and the rest of Beihai is now borderless!" Xin Ping pretended to be happy and said.

Yuan Tan took the information and scolded angrily: "What kind of thing is this Cao Ren, dare to grab territory with me!" After that eunuch, Cao Cao's appetite is really not small, it is not enough to swallow a mouthful of Xuzhou, he still wants to get involved in Qingzhou! ”

Xin Ping smiled and said: "Don't worry, Cao Cao fought with Yuan Gong in Xuzhou, and he had no time to take care of the rear, and the division led by Gongzi was tens of thousands, so why worry about not being able to defeat a mere Cao Ren." ”

Yuan Tan chuckled: "Also, just let Cao Cao's subordinates know that I am powerful, and those ownerless cities should be seized quickly, so as not to be occupied by Cao Cao." ”

"No, I'll order people to divide up and take those cities." Xin commented on the fist holding

Under the scorching sun.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong walked to a shady place.

"It's so damn hot!" Lu Bu scolded with a smile, although he took off his armor, the Hanfu on his body was still uncomfortable. Plus the scorching sun. The hot Lu Bu was extremely annoyed.

Chen Gong grabbed a few leaves. As a fan, if he wasn't a literati, he would also want to learn from those soldiers, open his belly, and cool down.

"Brother Gongtai, look what we should do now! Without Chen Liu, it means that there are no soldiers, no food, and no stronghold, so I can only withdraw to Guanzhong. Wait for your time. Lu Bu spread his hands and said helplessly.

Chen Gong said: "Wen Hou, now that Cao Cao has captured Xuzhou, the momentum is huge, if you don't curb it, if you want to eliminate it in the future, it will definitely be a hundred times more difficult!" ”

Lu Budao: "Then according to what Brother Gongtai sees, what should we do?" I only have 2,500 men! There are still five days left to eat, and if we don't address these issues sooner, we're doomed. ”

Chen Gong stroked his beard. Dao: "If you want to successfully destroy Cao Cao's development, there is only one hole left in the north. Yuan Shao is going to war with Gongsun Chan again, and he can't do it! ”

"Then let's go to the North Sea?" Lu Bu's cheeks twitched, and suddenly a question came to mind, Chen Gong's eyes also flashed, and the two said in unison: "Oh no! ”

Immediately, the two smiled bitterly, and Chen Gong said: "I don't know if Kong Rong can stop Cao Cao's strange soldiers!" ”

Lu Bu sighed, "I'm afraid it's also more auspicious." ”

Chen Gong said: "It's all useless to me, I didn't guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack on Chen Liu, which hurt Wen Hou's plan." ”

Lu Bu sat in the shade and looked at the sun, "No matter, since I have come here, I have to send some gifts to Cao Cao, although I only have two thousand five hundred people, it is a big deal to those big cities, but it is still possible to attack some small counties, I will be a Yellow Turban Army and harass Cao Cao's rear." ”

Chen Gong sighed, "That's the only way, I suggest that Wen Hou send someone to investigate the situation in Beihai, if Kong Rong guards Beihai, then we still have a glimmer of hope!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and agreed

Xuzhou.

On the one hand, Cao Cao ordered people to strengthen the city, and on the other hand, he sent people to reconnoiter the movements of Ji Ling's army, pondering how to quickly defeat the enemy army.

At this moment, Xun Yu's letter came.

Funai.

"Zixiao disappointed me!" Cao Cao sighed, put down the letter, put one hand to his forehead, and pondered.

"Although Xuzhou is a big piece of fat, it is also a hot potato, Yuan Shu is in the south, Yuan Shao is in the north, and there are these clowns in the middle!"

"Yuan Tan wants to take Qingzhou all, he is bound to attack Beihai, Cao Ren did not defeat Beihai, it is a good thing, I can't let him stay any longer, let him withdraw his army, and leave the hard bone of Beihai to Yuan Tan to gnaw!"

"The top priority is to go all out to repel Yuan Shu!"

Cao Cao muttered to himself, and suddenly, a heart-piercing headache made Cao Cao lean on the case, sweat beads like beans, and his lips were bitten, and it took a long time for Cao Cao to get better.

"My lord, in Yuzhou, Gong Du and Liu Pi, a gang of thieves, have recently played the name of the imperial court officials and soldiers, it seems that Lu Bu pardoned them, in my opinion, Lu Bu means to ask them to take advantage of the fire to steal, to harass our army, and create opportunities for Yuan Shu."

Guo Jia staggered in with the information.

"Fengxiao, it's just a group of little thieves! If they dare to come, I'll let them taste my awesomeness! Cao Cao said indifferently.

"This is Wen Ruo's letter! Look! Cao Cao handed the letter to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia took it and glanced at it hurriedly, "If Yuan Tan wants to take Qingzhou all, let him fight, just in time to withdraw General Cao Ren." “

Cao Cao nodded, "That's what I mean." ”

Guo Jia said: "My lord, in recent times, Lu Bu has frequently used the edicts of the Son of Heaven to issue some edicts that are unfavorable to the lord. ”

Cao Cao sneered, "He occupied the desolate place in Guanzhong, and saw that I took the fertile Xuzhou, he must be very dissatisfied in his heart, but he can only issue some boring edicts, Xiliang's bone is enough for him to gnaw for a while." ”

Guo Jiadao: "Not long ago, he rewarded Yuan Shao's territory to others, this kind of pediatric trick is really laughable, but Yuan Shao is so angry that we sent a messenger to Yecheng and replied that Yuan Shao has agreed to join us and issue a statement to jointly attack Lu Bu." ”

"Good! He used righteousness to govern me, and I also treated him in turn, but this kind of word game is really boring, if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were too strong and restrained me, I really wanted to lead my troops into Guanzhong. ”

Cao Cao said angrily.

Guo Jia smiled, "There will be this day, I believe this day will not be too far away from us." ”

"Hmmm! Send a letter to Cao Ren to ask him to withdraw it, and issue another letter to denounce Lu Bu, a traitor! Cao Cao said.

"No!" Guo Jia hugged his fists.

"I heard that Yuan Shao wants to elect Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as emperor, but is there such a thing?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "There is indeed this matter, Yuan Shao has always wanted to promote Liu Yu as the emperor, but you also know that Liu Yu is weak and close to the people, if you call him the emperor, he will definitely not do it, besides, he is the emperor in Youzhou, isn't he just a puppet for Yuan Shao, he is not so stupid!" ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, took out a map and said: "Chen Liu is occupied by us, and Yuan Tan is restrained in Beihai, and the rear is temporarily stabilized, right now, we can concentrate on cleaning up Ji Ling, according to the opinion of filial piety, how should we deal with Ji Ling?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shu is a great person, but he can't afford to be cheap, in fact, I have three strategies that can be used to deal with Yuan Shu." ”

"Three schemes? Will the plan be settled? Cao Cao's spirit was shocked.

Guo Jiadao: "The first plan, Yuan Shu is not good at training, although he has many soldiers, but most of them are not good at fighting, Ji Ling's 100,000 army under the command of the army, basically took away the elite of Yuan Shu, at this time Shouchun must be empty, the lord can send a brigade of divisions, surprise attack Shouchun, I think even if you can't take Shouchun, it will force Ji Ling to withdraw, at that time, our army will attack, a battle can be won."

The second plan is to send troops to harass the grain route of Yuan Shu's army, but not to fight head-on with Ji Ling's army, and after a long time, it will be able to force Ji Ling's army back.

Third, I heard that Yuan Shu often has plans to become emperor, and he wants Yuan Shao to support him as emperor, but how can Yuan Shao support him! For this reason, the relationship between the two brothers was very discordant, and the lord could send someone to tell Yuan Shu that the lord was willing to support Yuan Shu to become emperor in exchange for the withdrawal of Ji Ling's army. ”

Cao Cao touched his chin, "I support him to be the emperor, in exchange for him to withdraw the army?" Okay, let's support him as emperor! ”

Guo Jia clapped his hands and said: "If the lord is like this, when he sits firmly in Xuzhou, it will be the time when he Yuan Shu dies, and the land of Lianghuai is the lord's!" ”

Cao Cao tugged at his mustache and said: "That Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor and wants to go crazy, if I support him, he will be happy, as long as he is the emperor and doesn't want me to make a move, even his generals will destroy him, as well as those people, princes from all sides, who will tolerate him!" ”

Within a day, Cao Cao sent someone to Shouchun to meet Yuan Shu

Ji Ling's army.

A partial military camp tent, two heroic young men sat together, and a group of sturdy and burly generals sat around.

"Bo Fu, Cao Cao's army is as powerful as a tiger and wolf, plus Cao Cao is cunning and deceitful, although Ji Ling has an army of 100,000, he will never be his opponent, we follow him, there will be no way out."

"Gongjin, you're right, but what should we do? We don't have enough soldiers, horses, food and grass, and there will be no way out without Yuan Shu! ”

"Bo Fu, the eldest husband is in the world, you should give up, I hope you can understand what I mean!"

The two young men looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

A veteran next to him stood up, "Take, don't you want, don't you!" That treasure was bought by the old lord with his life! No! ”

The rest of the generals also stood up, and they couldn't even shout.

"Gongjin, you have a point, but I really can't!" Sun Ce laughed miserably and hid his face silently.

Zhou Yu stood up, glanced at everyone, and said, "How many people have been sacrificed for that dead thing!" It is a bad thing, since Yuan Shu wants it, give it to him, in exchange for a soldier and horse and money and food, and it is true to seek a bigger world! ”

Sun Ce sighed several times, since he took refuge in Yuan, he has not had a good day, Yuan Shu sent people to probe Sun Ce's tone in three days, wanting to find out the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country.

The most hateful thing is that Sun Ce's status is extremely low in Yuan Shu's army, and in the long run, he, Sun Ce, the dragon, will be trapped and die in Yuan Shu's hands. (To be continued......)
