But it was obviously impossible for Xu Ji to get out and go to Xuzhou for the time being, and the war in Hedong County caused inexplicable oscillations among the princes of the world.

No one could have imagined that the army of Gao Shun could win a complete victory in such a short period of time: without Xu Ji, it was incredible that the Yanzhou army would become so crazy.

Although the elite of the Yanzhou army is known to the world, the bravery of the Yanzhou army in the eyes of the people is more manifested in the field charge, but this time in just ten days, the Yanzhou army won five cities one after another, and defeated twice as many enemies as itself, which is definitely not an effect that can be achieved by fighting alone.

That means that there must be an amazing plan, only this battle, Gao Shun's original tepid name began to sing in the sky of the Han Dynasty, in people's hearts in the Yanzhou army was originally the mean, Gao Shun who only knew how to train soldiers and rushed into battle suddenly became a famous star of generals, and at this time, people knew why Xu Ji would have entrusted Gao Shun with a heavy responsibility a long time ago.

When Xu Ji left Hedong County with the elite of the shadow, returned to Shangdang, and made a detour to Guangping County and Yangping County to meet the army of Gaoshun and Zhang Yan on the border of Jizhou and Yanzhou, the aftermath of the war in Hedong was invisibly affecting the changes in the entire war situation in the world.

In Yuan Shu's view, once there is no enemy of the Yanzhou army in Hedong County, then the Yanzhou army will cross the Taihang Mountain, come to Hanoi County, and directly attack Yingchuan County, therefore, Yuan Shu mobilized troops and horses to closely defend in Yingchuan County, after all, the Yanzhou army has no reason to attack Zhang Ji and Zhang Yun in Sizhou at this time, and he is fighting with the Yanzhou army at this time, according to the previous "crazy" "retaliatory" attacks of the Gaoshun army. It is very likely that Gao Shun's army will turn around and deal with him, how can Yuan Shu ignore it?

Yuan Shu's actions directly caused a chain reaction among the other princes.

Runan. Yuan Shao's mansion.

Yuan Shaozheng looked at Guo Tu floating from outside the door with joy, and his expression was completely gloomy because his descendants Wang Kuang's army and Zhang Yang's army were defeated.

"Public rule! You did very well. I didn't expect that so soon, the big families in Yuzhou would all stand on my side. I think that the reorganization of our army is just around the corner. Yuan Shao said with a smile.

Guo Tu smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, this matter is mainly due to your prestige, and the third prince of Yuan Men is the expectation of everyone in the world. ”

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Gongzhi, don't be too modest, if it weren't for you, where would things go so smoothly?" After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Public rule." What tricks did you use to make these big families in Yuzhou support me willingly? ”

Guo Tu said in a deep voice: "What's so difficult about this? I only analyzed the reason for Yuan Highway's inevitable defeat to them. ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said: "Although I know that he is likely to end the road dismally, I have never been so sure of you." In his words, he was extremely cold to Yuan Shu, and there was no brotherhood in it, which showed that the relationship between the two brothers had no room for redemption.

Guo Tu snorted coldly: "Yuan Highway's biggest mistake is to provoke the Yanzhou army after becoming emperor, which is simply self-defeating. ”

Yuan Shao nodded and sighed: "That's true, Xu Ji is also a big man and a horse, Yuan Highway is doing this, where will anyone in the world support him?" ”

Guo Tu sneered: "Now the Han royal family exists in name only. There are not a few people in the world who want to replace him, but no one dares to take the lead in claiming the emperor, after all, everyone knows the truth that 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'. No one wants to be the target of public criticism, and what Yuan Highway is doing now can only be said to have an eye for observation and no ability to calm the world. I think Xu Ji, who is now dying in Jingzhou, must be very happy, because Yuan Highway has helped him a lot invisibly. Of course. Yuan Highway is doing this now, which is also helping all the people in the world who are aspiring to be emperors. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu inexplicably, and Guo Tu explained: "If you say that Xu Ji has no ambition to be the emperor. I don't believe it, but Xu Ji doesn't have the courage to start this. Although Xu Ji has always been low-key, but the strength of Yanzhou is obvious to all in the world, there are not a few people who want to get rid of Xu Ji, everyone is waiting for the opportunity to join forces to deal with Xu Ji, the best excuse is that Xu Ji has the intention of rebellion, this situation Xu Ji himself is naturally well aware, therefore, Xu Ji will have the bold move of entering Beijing to see the emperor, and even want to rob the emperor. Who knew that Yuan Highway was so short-sighted, he actually preemptively became the emperor and replaced Xu Ji to become the public enemy of the world. Xu Jina is still grateful to Yuan Highway? ”

Yuan Shao suddenly realized, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Guo Tu's mouth: "Although Yuan Highway is undoubtedly defeated, the impact of his actions is very far-reaching, from the day Yuan Shu became emperor, I am afraid that the last bit of majesty of the Han royal family will be gone, and the debate between the Confucian scholars in Yanzhou and orthodox literati like Xun Yu and the stinky literati under Yuan Highway is even more fueling, hum!" Xun Yu's text that vibrated the world said that Yuan Shu was not a gentleman with five virtues, which would only make the world more chaotic, and as long as people who wanted to be the emperor in the future, they could first claim that they were a gentleman with five virtues, and then call the emperor after the strength was strong, which was really natural. Isn't that a good thing for us? ”

Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this, and Guo Tu said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, didn't you ask me what I said to those big families?" Yuan Shao nodded and looked at Guo Tu with a look of anticipation.

Guo Tu said in a deep voice: "I told them that the current situation in Yanzhou is very similar to that of Qi in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Yanzhou without Xu Ji is the monarch of Qi Jiang, and Guo Jia and others who are in power want to go and replace Tian." ”

After a pause, he said: "At that time, the minister of Qi wanted to increase his prestige, and then replace Jiang to rule Qi, so he sent troops to attack Lu, Confucius sent Zigong to see Tian in order to save Lu, Zigong said to Tian: 'Tian's enemy is at home and not abroad, Tian's enemy is Jiang and not Lu, you are now a courtier of Qi, if you defeat Lu, you will take Lu as your own?'" Or is it dedicated to the Jiang clan of the King of Qi? If you take the country of Lu as your own, you are rebellious, and your strength is only in the middle of the king of Qi, and the people of the country of Lu are not satisfied with you. How could you possibly defeat King Qi? It is better to find a way to make the southern state of Wu and the king of Qi fight, and wait for both sides to lose and lose. You go to attack Wu again in the name of rescue, like this. You have the reputation of rescuing the monarch, but you can also weaken the strength of the king of Qi, why not? ’’”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Of course I know this story, Zigong's eloquence is only afraid that it is even more powerful than that of Su Qin and Zhang Yi in later generations." This Zigong later sent an envoy to Wu to provoke a war between Wu and Qi, which led to the demise of Wu Wangfucha, the hegemony of Goujian, the king of Yue, and the chaos of Qi. ”

Guo Tu said with a smile: "That's right, I said to which families that Xu Ji is more auspicious now." Guo Jia wants to replace Xu Ji, but the opposition is too much, so now it is the old trick of re-Shi Zigong, Yuan Highway is Wu Wangfucha, and when he sees Zhang Yan rebelling, he wants to seize Yanzhou, Guo Jia is still in Xuzhou, just as the Tian clan did not move on the border between Lu and Qi after listening to Zigong's words, in fact, it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the other armies in Yanzhou fight with Yuan Shu, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening the hostile force. But Guo Jia will never let Yanzhou continue to be chaotic, once Guo Jia, the first army division of Yanzhou, makes a move, Yuan Highway will be defeated. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "The public is reasonable!" After a pause, he said, "That's it." We are the king of Yue, Goujian? At the first opportunity, he replaced Yuan Highway. ”

Guo Tu said with a smile: "Lord Mingjian, that's exactly the case, I said to these families. Once Yuan Highway is defeated, the Yanzhou army will drive straight into our Yuzhou. Yanzhou is extremely hostile to the clans, if the Yanzhou army enters Yuzhou. That will be extremely unfavorable to the family, and now only you can turn the tide, and when it comes to this, how can the family not be moved? ”

Yuan Shao Ha smiled and said to Guo Tu: "You really have no last resort, I'm afraid that even the dead will be said to be alive." ”

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "This is not alarmist, but it is true. ”

Yuan Shao groaned: "Now what I'm most worried about is Sun Ce, Yuan Highway loves Sun Ce very much, I am afraid that Sun Ce will come back to help Yuan Highway in the future, this Sun Ce is brave and abnormal, You Sheng is a father, it is really difficult to deal with." But if Sun Ce can help me......"

Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Sun Ce, the hero of the world, these people are just temporary shelter under Yuan Highway, how can they be subservient to others for a long time?" Yuan Shu took away the jade seal from him, Sun Ce is now called Yuan Highway's subordinate, in fact, he is no longer under the control of Yuan Highway, maybe in the future, when Yuan Highway is defeated, he will fight back, so the lord does not have to worry about Sun Ce will help Yuan Highway. However, although this man is young, he is very assertive, and I advise the lord not to try to subdue this man's idea, which is equivalent to putting a tiger by his side. ”

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time and sighed, obviously very fond of Sun Ce. However, Yuan Shao now admires Guo Tu's vision very much, since Sun Ce will not help Yuan Shu, it is just that.

Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao didn't talk about Sun Ce anymore, and sighed in his heart, now he felt more and more that Yuan Shao was difficult to achieve his big thing, he had already said that Sun Ce was so dangerous, Yuan Shao was as if nothing happened, if it was someone else, such as Xu Ji, he would definitely find a way to solve this trouble as soon as possible. But Guo Tu had no choice, he really couldn't swallow the bad breath he was humiliated in Jizhou.

I don't want to think so much, Sun Ce, who is worried about him, is now fighting Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan is definitely not his opponent, but Liu Xuan has Cao Cao's help, so it's hard to say. However, if Sun Ce was killed by Cao Cao, it would be a hundred.

At this time, Sun Ce, who was fighting against Liu Miao in Lingling City, of course didn't know about these things. He has been leading the troops in front of the two armies for a long time, and his soldiers are also fighting the enemy and scolding the formation, but the battalion of Liu Miao on the opposite side is still the same as before, and he will not come out to fight at all.

Since the battle with Liu Xuan, Sun Ce has never been so worried, if it is only one Liu Xuan, Sun Ce will not have such a headache, since the battle with Liu Xuan, the god of luck has been on his side, some time ago he and Liu Xuan's general Zhang Ying fought in Niuzhu, killing Zhang Ying defeated, that Zhang Ying abandoned Niu Zhu, looked into the mountains and fled, he received Niu Zhu Pavilion food, weapons, and more than 4,000 people, and got two strong generals: one is Jiujiang Shouchun, surnamed Jiang, named Qin, the word Gongyi; One person is a Cai person under the Jiujiang River, surnamed Zhou, named Tai, and the word Youping, and his own strength has increased greatly. These two people were in turmoil, so they became water thieves, and even recruited people to loot in the Yangtze River for a living, and it was these two people who took advantage of Zhang Ying to fight with themselves. Setting fire to the camp in the back made his victory so smooth. Very smooth march to the Soldier God Pavilion. It is precisely because of this that Liu Miao was forced to enter Lingling City. You have to fight to the death with yourself.

His friend Zhou Yu had long expected this, knowing that Liu Miao would lead the army out of his base camp Qu'a, so he commanded the fleet and secretly crossed the river to occupy Liu Xuan's hometown and make him homeless. This strategy was originally seamless, but who knew that Cao Cao would be killed halfway.

First of all, Zhou Yu was frustrated outside the city of Qu'a, and when he arrived in Qu'a, he was attacked by the Danyang soldiers of Cao Cao's army, but fortunately, Zhou Yu was extremely cautious in marching and fighting. was not calculated, and even stabilized his position, launched a counterattack, and finally gained a firm foothold in Qu'a, but until now, Cao Cao's army in Qu'a City is still in a stalemate. There has been no way to capture Qu A, I heard that Cao Cao is there, and there is also a strategist named Cheng Yu who has repeatedly seen through Zhou Yu's scheme, plus a Cao Cao. It made Zhou Yu quite uncomfortable.

It was also not smooth here, and he didn't take advantage of fighting Liu Miao for days. That Liu Xuan's army seems to have a very powerful military advisor, and every time his plan is seen through by him, it is difficult for him to make an inch of progress here.

Take a look at Liu Xuan's camp in the south of the Shenting Lingnan. Sun Ce was even more depressed, and two days ago, he went out to relax, so he took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin and others out on horseback. I heard that there was a Guangwu temple on the mountain, so I went to worship. Who knew that Lu Dao would be ambushed by the enemy there. The opponent's martial arts are extremely strong, and there are two of them as soon as they come up. It seems that it should be brothers, one of them and his own martial arts are only in the middle of the best, the other is slightly worse, but not much worse, none of his own Cheng Pu Huang Gai is his opponent, only Zhou Tai, who was newly subdued some time ago, can match it. Although there are many subordinates with him, but there are also many soldiers on the other side, fortunately, his adviser Lu Fan is not at ease with himself, and sent people out to look for him, so he broke the siege and escaped, although he still didn't know what the names of the two brothers were, but they learned from the mouths of the two that they were ordered by a person named Mao Jie.

"Sun Ceyong is brave, but it is easy to advance lightly against the enemy." This sentence got the name from the mouths of the two generals, and the person named Xun Yu really commented on himself, which was really pertinent.

Sun Ce smiled bitterly, if Zhou Yu was here now, his head would always be much stronger than himself. However, he doesn't have much choice now, and before Zhou Yu comes back, he can only hold on.

While thinking about it, an army was drawn out of the camp of Liu Xuan on the opposite side, and came to the opposite side of Sun Ce, setting up a formation, obviously to fight Sun Ce, and one of the big banners was written with a big "Cao" character written on it! Could it be that Cao Cao is here! Sun Ce perked up and looked to the opposite side, only to see a middle-aged man with a pale gold face sitting there on horseback beside Liu Xuan, with a special temperament that blended elegance and domineering. Among the people Sun Ce has seen, this person is the most memorable, and it must be Cao Cao.

It's just that if Cao Cao is here, then Cheng Yu should be the only one left to fight with Zhou Yu in Qu'a, what the hell is this Cao Cao doing?

Hum! Anyway, his current trouble is caused by this Cao Cao, how can he let him go? Thinking of this, Sun Ce rode out and attacked Cao Cao like lightning.

The person on the other side is of course Cao Cao, he also rushed here last night to meet Liu Xuan, since he cooperated with Liu Xuan, this Liu Xuan is quite obedient, Cao Cao asked him to strictly guard Lingling City, he is here to strictly guard, Cao Cao is afraid of losing, and also sent his first strategist Cheng Yu and his brother Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan to assist Liu Xuan.

After a period of fighting, the battle situation between Liu Miao and Sun Ce had become clear, and Cao Cao rushed here from Qu'a to help Liu Miao and Sun Ce fight a decisive battle. Who knew that Lu Dao, Sun Ce, was now suddenly attacking him, which made Cao Cao stunned.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Ce was killed in front of Cao Cao, and before Cao Cao could react, the spear in Sun Ce's hand had already been handed to Cao Cao, marking the door!

The surrounding air cools instantly.

Just as the spear was about to hit Cao Cao, from the side, a sharp long knife came sideways and knocked Sun Ce's spear away at once. The sound of "dang" spread throughout the audience.

"Humph! It turns out that Jiangdong Sun Lang is a despicable person, and it is in vain that my lord looks up to you like this! The owner of the long knife made a deathly cold voice, and without asking, it was Dian Wei!

Sun Ce was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the other party would have such a master in addition to the two brothers, and he didn't answer, so he fought with Xu Chu. In less than thirty rounds, everyone could see that Sun Ce had lost the upper hand.

Sun Ce's Han Dang and others were taken aback, they didn't expect that Sun Ce would not be this person's opponent, they rode their horses to meet them, and they wanted to fight in groups, Cao Cao behind Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian all killed together, Liu Miao hurriedly ordered his generals, Zhang Ying, Chen Heng, Yu Mi, and Fan Neng to follow Cao Cao's generals to rush and kill.

For a time, in front of the two armies, the generals of both sides all went into battle, and the fierce battles continued. Although Sun Ce is brave, he is still inferior to Dian Wei, and he can only support it.

At this moment, it rained heavily and the ground was muddy, and the two sides had no choice but to fight back.

But both sides know that this is just the beginning.

At this point, the battle for Jiangdong is in full swing! (To be continued......)
