Kong Rong's letter to Cao Cao was written after Cao Cao left Xu Du, at that time he did not know that Cao Jun could kill all the way to Yecheng City, just knowing that Cao Cao planned to cross the river in Baima, Yuan Jun seemed to have no intention of obstructing it. The main meaning of his letter was to persuade Cao Cao to stop using troops and stop crusading against Yuan Shao.

In the original history, Kong Rong was against attacking Yuan Shao, but he was mainly afraid that Yuan Shao's power was too great and it was difficult to resist, so he said to Xun Yu: "Shaodi is strong and strong; Tian Feng, Xu You, wise people, also seek for it; Trial, discipline, loyal ministers, let it be; Yan Liang, Wen Chou, bravely champion the three armies, and command their soldiers - is it difficult to overcome? The result was refuted by Xun Yu. And on this timeline, Yuan Shao is not so strong, or rather, Cao Cao is not so weak, so Kong Rong can't say this kind of thing.

And Kong Rong and Yuan Shao have an enmity, when he was the minister of state in Beihai (after the abolition of the country, for the county guard) was a good person, who wanted Yuan Tan to kill him, and drove him to Xudu. Moreover, Yuan Shao had enmity with Yang Biao, Liang Shao, Kong Rong and other court officials, and when the two sides were still in harmony, he sent people to Xu Du many times to hint at Cao Cao and cut them down, but Cao Cao politely refused.

But after all, the butt decides the head, Kong Rong stands in the position of the family, and does not want Cao "caobi" to force Yuan Shao too much, so after the battle of Guandu, he repeatedly persuaded Cao Cao to let Yuan Shao go on the grounds that the people wanted stability and the soldiers did not want to fight. He believed that as long as the imperial court made Yuan Shao's crime clear and ordered the ministers of all counties and states to express their stance quickly, the Yuan family's power would collapse, and then Yuan Shao would have to go to Xudu in person to ask for guilt.

Because although Kong Rong does not deal with Yuan Shao, the Yuan Group is not Yuan Shao alone, Yuan Shao himself represents the interests of the vast number of families in Hebei, and these families have always maintained inextricable ties with Kong Rong. If the soldiers are prosperous, the Yuan family will definitely be finished. These clans that are attached to the Yuan family also have no good fruits to eat—with Cao Cao's consistent style of acting, they will not only punish evil and allow them to turn around gorgeously—so I hope that we will still focus on political division and diplomatic co-optation, and don't use knives and guns lightly, lest the jade be burned.

Kong Rong's attitude towards Liu Biao is the same. He hoped that the imperial court would conceal the evil of Liu Biaojiao's sacrifice to heaven and earth, and not publicize it everywhere, ostensibly to maintain the dignity of the clan surnamed Liu and protect the prestige of the imperial court, but in fact, he did not want to be ruthless to Jingxiang's family. If Cao Cao was replaced by Yuan Shao, he might not be so persuasive. Because Yuan Shao himself is the representative of the family, but Cao Cao is not, and although Cao Cao's style of acting in recent years has been softened compared with the Yanzhou era, he is still holding back his strength to attack the family - I will no longer be as hard as killing Bian Rang to find your faults, but you should also be cautious, don't make a big mistake and let me hold it. I will not spare it lightly - Kong Rong sees this very clearly.

Therefore, before this expedition, he had repeatedly euphemistically persuaded Cao Cao, saying that Yuan Shao's defeat was no longer enough to cause trouble, so why bother to use swords and soldiers again after spending money and money? Wouldn't it be good if you sent Hongfu and other eloquent people to the counties and countries of Hebei to lobby, maybe the Yuan family would collapse directly, wouldn't it be good?

Cao Cao, of course, scoffed at this kind of. On the one hand, the Yuan family is so powerful. If you don't push him hard, how can you collapse yourself? Hebei is vast and prosperous, if you don't make a heavy punch, maybe one day Yuan Shao will be relieved. On the other hand, I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the big families in Hebei, maybe I will also find an opportunity to connect with the Yuan family with those big families around me, and also clean up a little - for example, Hongnong Yang - how can I wait for them to figure it out and take the initiative to come over? Isn't that no excuse?

So Cao Cao rejected Kong Rong's request, and sent Xun Yu and others to refute Kong Rong's delusions in person. But Kong Rong didn't give up. Didn't he write a letter again - he said that the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were originally the pillars of the imperial court, and once he stepped on the wrong side, he should be allowed to repent, and the court should be moralized. It should not be attacked by war. At the same time, he also said that he had just received the news that Sun Ce in Jiangdong had the intention of crossing the river and attacking Xudu, and Sun Ce had the heart of a deer and refused to accept Wang Hua, which was the great enemy of the imperial court, and hoped that Cao Cao would attack the army of Hebei and turn around to fight Jiangdong.

On the issue of dealing with the big clans, Sun Ce was more radical than Cao Cao, and he was subdued purely by force, and if he was disobedient, he would have been cut off - if Kong Rong was in Jiangdong, his head would have fallen out countless times at this time. Therefore, they are also divided princes, Kong Rong sympathizes with Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and he alone cannot tolerate Sun Ce.

Shi Xun read the letter and couldn't laugh or cry. Cao Cao also had to ask in person: "What does Hongfu think Wenju said?" Shi Xun replied a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Xun, the former Kong Gong, Xun is a junior, it is not appropriate to talk about the evil of respecting the elders...... "It is inconvenient for me to directly say bad things about Kong Rong-" However, the strategy of first south and then north is absolutely not feasible. Yuan Shao will be the first to be killed, and then Jiangdong will be taken after Hebei is pacified. In the case of the initial construction of the water division, An has the power to cross the river? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his mind around, and simply pulled the topic away: "Kong Gongyun Sun Ce wants to cross the river to attack Xudu, is it true?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "With a certain place to investigate, Sun Ceguo has this intention, or to echo Yuan Shaoyao." However, Chen Yuanlong is in Guangling, Lu Zijing is in Lujiang, and Taishi Ziyi is guarding Huainan, and there is no big worry. ”

Xun You reminded him: "Sun Ce is fierce, and he must not be deeply concerned. ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Ce Xin and Jiangdong, all the punishments are heroic and heroic, and those who can win people's death are also." However, the strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains. If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, I will die at the hands of the horseman! ”

It was Xun Xin who said it, and the famous big prophet or the big crow's mouth Guo Fengxiao aimed at the "little overlord", and immediately nodded: "What Fengxiao said is true, the lord doesn't have to worry about everything." Then a few people gossiped a little more, and Cao Cao's face looked a little better, and he planned to treat Kong Rong's letter as a fart.

After saying goodbye and leaving the account, Shixun really couldn't hold back, slowly approached Guo Jia, and asked quietly, "Jiangdong Guo is not enough to worry?" Can Xu Gong have a person who can carry out assassination? ”

Sun Ce's death is a great mystery in history. As Guo Jia said, that young man was too frivolous, and it was easy to fall into the trap and be killed by the assassins, but the question is, why is Guo Jia's judgment so accurate? He'd never seen Sun Ce before. And why is the time period of Sun Ce's assassination so coincidental? Just wanted to sneak attack Xu Du here, and Guo Jia made a prophecy over there, and then he really hung up?

Many people in later generations speculated that the so-called assassin of Xu Gongmenke was from the Cao family class, and it was likely that the mastermind was Guo Jia and the host was Chen Deng. Therefore, Guo Jia was able to predict Sun Ce's death so confidently, and most importantly, predicted that he would be assassinated on the eve of the attack on Xudu, and would not hinder Cao Cao's northern expedition to Yuan Shao.

Jixun really wanted to solve the mystery, so he couldn't help but test it. When Guo Jia heard this, he was taken aback as expected, and then frowned and asked Shixun: "What did Chen Yuanlong and Jun say?" "Did Chen Deng reveal it to you? After all, the two of you are in-laws. It was Xun Xin who said Sure enough, he guessed correctly, and this matter was really related to Guo Jia and Chen Deng at the same time. So he pretended to smile profoundly: "Yuanlong really didn't say this, Naixun thought about it." "I guessed for myself.

Guo Jia glanced at him coldly: "This is not something that Hongfu can know. With that, he turned his head and strode away. Yes Xun was uncomfortable by his gaze, and said in his heart, do you need to be so arrogant? I understand that this is top secret, and it is estimated that you have secretly reported to Cao Cao, in addition, except for Chen Deng and the specific executor, no more people know, and the more people who know, the news is easy to leak. But I'm the in-laws of the Cao family, and I'm Cao Cao's confidant, I'm just asking you to verify my own conjectures, and if you don't say it, it's over—although your reaction has already solved the mystery—it's not for me to know. Isn't it great to do intelligence work? The secret front is very deep, huh?

So Guo Fengxiao has so many enemies, and he doesn't like people, I understand it today. When he flicked his sleeves, he sneered twice and walked away.

The next day, he continued to fill in the moat on the south side of the east gate of Yecheng - Liu Ye urged the craftsmen to rush to work overnight, and made up the number of 30 trucks. But just as he was approaching the edge of the trench, suddenly there was an ambush of troops—presumably in the middle of the night with ropes sneaking down to the city—and there were several hundred men, half armed with swords and shields to fight the Cao soldiers who were guarding them, and half armed with large wooden mallets to destroy them. Cao Hong hurriedly increased his troops to the front, and in the end only less than 100 Yuan soldiers re-entrenched the city, and the rest were killed in battle, but nearly half of them were destroyed.

Cao Hong was so angry that even his beard was all up. Shi Xun persuaded him: "It can be seen that there is no way to break the trick in the city, so we have to recruit people who dare to die and take the risk of doing this." "Cao Hong ordered, step up the filling of the trenches, today there are more people who are desperately dead, how many can be filled, and tomorrow will attack the city wall.

Shixun was very leisurely this day, anyway, the city was already prepared, and no amount of gunpowder balls would have any effect, and the catapults were only used to deter the enemy, forcing the city to erect a mud-smeared grass curtain, so the number of bows and arrows around the city would be reduced accordingly.

Guo Huaijian said: "Ten bodies can take the enemy." Our army is outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, so why don't we move the remaining twenty corpses to another place and break through the walls of their sheep and horses so that they can attack later? "We can't just stare at this one place, on the north side of the east gate, as well as on both sides of the south gate, the sheep and horse walls are still intact, and when it comes to attacking the city wall, the enemy army can easily mobilize troops and horses from these two places. We're going to have to push them all back into the city.

Shi Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't I know this reason? However, stone bullets are insufficient. "Yesterday, half of the inventory was knocked out in a short period of effort, and Cao Hong's department only picked up more than ten pieces, where can we stop destroying the sheep and horse wall elsewhere, we have to keep some spare, so that it can be used in a critical moment."

Zhuge Liang arched his hand beside him: "Liang has a foolish plan, I don't know if I can ...... it"
