Cao Cao sat big in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and his threat to Yuan Shao was not as great as the threat to Liu Wei.

Before coming to Luoyang, Yuan Shao and his staff thought that Liu Wei would readily adopt Cao Cao's proposal to move troops, but what Tian Feng didn't expect was that Liu Wei would refuse.

"Your Royal Highness......" Liu Wei was already very clear that he wanted to refuse Yuan Shao's proposal to move troops to Cao Cao, Tian Feng hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and bowed to him and saluted him deeply and said: "Since His Royal Highness broke Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Gong has sat in Hebei, and now there are more than 300,000 people with armor, and there are 300,000 soldiers in Daqin......"

"Six hundred thousand!" With a smile on his face, Liu Wei slowly shook his head and said to Tian Feng: "Although Cao Cao has not many soldiers and horses now, he has the advantage of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and although the number of soldiers and generals under his command is small, the training of soldiers and horses is not inferior to my Great Qin. ”

"Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng and other important ministers, and forced His Majesty to watch and behead in the market today, and he is arrogant to His Majesty, and he should be crusaded!" Facing Liu Wei, Tian Feng said a sonorous and powerful word.

"Yuan Hao's words are wrong!" As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, before Liu Wei could reply to him, a voice came from outside the front hall.

Hearing someone speak, Liu Wei and Tian Feng both looked at the door of the front hall.

The four of them stood outside the hall in front of and behind them, the two in front were Xu Shu and Pang Tong, and the two in the back, needless to say, Liu Wei also knew that they were Chen Gong and Jia Xu.

It was none other than Xu Shu who spoke.

If you want to say Xu Shu, he also had some friendship with Tian Feng back then, and when he learned that he came to Luoyang and didn't use soldiers to report, he knew that he was here to instigate Liu Wei to use troops against Cao Cao.

Interrupting Tian Feng's words, Xu Shu and the others bowed down in unison, bowed to Liu Wei, and then strode into the hall.

When Xu Shu and the others entered the main hall, Liu Wei pressed his hand twice at them and said, "Everyone, sit down and talk!" ”

first thanked Liu Wei, and everyone, including Tian Feng, sat down in the hall one after another.

As soon as he sat down, Tian Feng asked Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhifang just said that there is a difference in a certain language, I don't know what the difference is?" I still hope that Yuan will teach me directly! ”

"Cao Cao is sitting in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, but now that his troops have arrived in Hanoi, he is a threat to His Highness and Yuan Gong." Looking at Tian Feng, Xu Shu first arched at him with his fists, and then said: "But has Yuan Hao ever thought that this duel with Cao Cao, Yuan Gong will lose more and win less, even if His Royal Highness sends troops, Cao Cao only needs to send a force to block the way to Hebei, and it will be difficult for my Daqin soldiers to enter Hebei for a while." As time goes by, Yuan Gong will be defeated! ”

Xu Shu's words stunned Tian Feng.

He frowned slightly, first looked at Xu Shu, and after a while he raised his face and smiled, and said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi is wrong!" Yuan Gong has 300,000 armor soldiers under his command, and Cao Cao, who has only a few tens of thousands of available soldiers, how can he compete with Yuan Gong? ”

"Cao Cao's available soldiers are indeed only tens of thousands!" As soon as Tian Feng's words were finished, Xu Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "But is Gong Yuan safe at home now?" ”

was asked by Xu Shu, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment.

Since Yuan Shao occupied Hebei, although the army is strong and strong, his power is in full swing for a while.

But Yuan Shao's family is not stable, as Xu Shu said.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers competed for the crown prince, and Yuan Xi was caught in the middle, although on the surface they were not offended, but secretly they were his third brother Yuan Shang.

The relationship between the brothers became more and more delicate, and the advisers and generals under Yuan Shao's command were also divided into two groups.

One group supports Yuan Tan, while the other group supports Yuan Shang.

Like Tian Feng, who is not flattering at both ends, I am afraid that there is only one person left in Hebei.

Thinking of the situation in Yuan Shao's family, Tian Feng couldn't find the words to answer Xu Shu for a while.

After staring at Tian Feng for a long time, the corners of Xu Shu's mouth pulled up an indifferent smile, stood up, clasped his fists and arched towards Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness, Cao Cao is not Gongsun Zhan!" Back then, although Gongsun Chan was strong and strong, he had no one under his command. Our army discussed with Yuan Gong before taking the area of Youzhou. Now that Cao Cao has many capable people, and Yuan Gong's family is uneasy, how can he be Cao Cao's opponent? ”

Knowing that if Yuan Shao used troops against Cao Cao, he would definitely not get much benefit, Liu Wei nodded, although he did not speak, but a look of deep approval appeared on his face.

"Your Highness!" After Xu Shu finished speaking, Pang Tong on the side also stood up and said to Liu Wei: "Now it seems that although Yuan Gong has many soldiers and generals, once Yuan Cao starts a war, Yuan Gong has three defeats, while Cao Cao has three victories!" ”

Pang Tong said that Yuan Shao had three defeats, and Cao Cao had three victories, Tian Feng's brows furrowed tightly, but he didn't speak, just looked at Pang Tong without blinking, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"What insight Shi Yuan has, just say it!" Knowing that Pang Tong must have made some analysis, Liu Wei hurriedly said something to him.

Clenched his fists and bowed, and saluted Liu Wei again, Pang Tong said: "Yuan Gong was defeated three times, one was defeated by the strong soldiers and strong horses, and the soldiers were arrogant!" As the so-called arrogant army will be defeated, the Hebei army is more numerous than the Cao army, and the enemy must advance lightly, once the battle starts, it will be subject to the enemy everywhere! ”

Saying the reason why Yuan Shao's first must fail, except for Tian Feng, Liu Wei and everyone in the hall nodded.

"Second, Duke Yuan's family is unstable, and the heirs are competing for the heir!" Looking around at the people in the hall, Pang Tong continued: "Once the two sides start a war, there must be reservations between the brothers, when they can't be saved, when they don't attack, the fighter will be fleeting, and it will be a sign of defeat!" ”

Pang Tong successively said two reasons why Yuan Shao would be defeated, Tian Feng's brows were tightly wrinkled, but he never spoke, still waiting for Pang Tong to continue.

"If Yuan Gong is defeated three times, he will be defeated in supply!" Facing Liu Wei, Pang Tong groaned slightly, and then continued: "The Hebei army has a large number of people, and the consumption of grain and grass must be huge. Grain and grass with the army, it must be inconvenient! You can only choose one place to store food. If Cao Jun cut off Yuan Gong's grain road, how could the army support it? ”

When Pang Tong proposed that he might be defeated in the end in supply, Tian Feng was even more stunned.

When marching and fighting, grain and grass have always been the most important, and if a huge army is a long-distance attack, it will cost countless people to transport grain and grass.

Generally speaking, hundreds of thousands of troops went on the expedition, and the grain and grass were mobilized one step earlier, and Pang Tong's worries were exactly what Tian Feng had thought of earlier.

However, Tian Feng at that time, although he also thought of the instability of Yuan Shao's rear, if Liu Wei agreed to send troops, he would attack from both sides, and Liu Bei would not have a chance to defeat Cao Cao.

"Shi Yuan said that he lost three times at the beginning, and he dared to ask Cao Cao about his three victories, where was the victory?" Tian Feng lowered his head and groaned, but Liu Wei asked the question he wanted to ask Pang Tong for him.

"Cao Cao won three victories, one is that although there are not many soldiers, it is expensive!" Under Liu Wei's questioning, Pang Tong said to everyone in the hall: "Although Cao Cao has few soldiers and horses, he has experienced several battles, and they are all warriors of a hundred battles!" And the number of Cao's army is far less than that of Yuan Gong's soldiers and horses, and the soldiers dare not be careless, but in case of battle, they will be more careful! It's a win! ”

Nodding, Liu Wei did not ask, but silently waited for Pang Tong to continue.

"As for Cao Cao's second victory, it is a victory from the top to the bottom!" Turning his head to look at Tian Feng, Pang Tong continued: "All the generals under Cao Cao's command are all his leaders, and no two of them can have the slightest fetters on the army, and the staff are even more bent on planning, just seeking victory. Although Yuan Gong said that his fierce generals were like clouds, there were four court pillars in Hebei, and there was Yuan Hao and other great powers that passed through the heavens and latitudes, but Yuan Gong was difficult to control. One side is united, and the other side is a plate of scattered sand, just ask, if the war starts, how can we win, I don't need to say more! ”

After listening to Pang Tong's words, Tian Feng also thought so.

But he still had the idea that as long as Liu Wei was willing to send troops, this war could be won, so he asked Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan can say that Cao Cao has three victories, and a certain listen!" ”

Turning his head to look at Tian Feng, Pang Tong sighed lightly and said, "Yuan Hao, could it be that he still cares about His Highness sending troops, so he can win this battle?" ”

"Exactly!" If Pang Tong didn't ask, Tian Feng wouldn't have said his thoughts too early, since Pang Tong asked, he had nothing to hide, stood up and said to Liu Wei: "Although Yuan Gong said that the internal instability is not stable at the moment, but with His Royal Highness's support from behind, the 300,000 soldiers in Hebei will definitely be able to drive straight into defeat Cao Cao." His Royal Highness only needs to transfer the soldiers and horses to Xudu at that time to break through the rear defense of the Cao army, and this battle can be completed! ”

Tian Feng said this, but Liu Wei didn't answer him, just turned his head to look at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong smiled slightly, and said to Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao has a good plan! Something to say is Cao Cao's three victories! ”

Hearing that Pang Tong was about to say Cao Cao's third victory, Tian Feng arched his fist at him and did not speak.

"Yuan Hao just said that if the two sides fight together, His Majesty will wave his troops and attack Xu Du, and Cao Cao will be defeated!" A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, Pang Tong's ugly face distorted, and said to Tian Feng: "It's just that Yuan Hao has ever thought about it, Luoyang and Xu are not far away, once Your Majesty sends troops, if Cao Cao temporarily transfers the Qingzhou army to attack Luoyang!" What about Luoyang? ”

Being asked by Pang Tong like this, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, his mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Comparing the combat strength of the two sides, Yuan Shao and his advisers considered Cao Cao's direct army, but they never thought that under Cao Cao, there was a Qingzhou army that obeyed his orders.

The Qingzhou army crusaded against Xuzhou that day, although their combat power was just ordinary, but in that battle, they fought extremely tenacious.

Such a large army, if it is against the Qin army, although the Qin army has the certainty of victory, it can defeat them, and it is not something that can be completed in three or two months, and when the Qingzhou army is defeated, I am afraid that the battle situation in Hebei has already had a result.

Yuan Shao's battle is unbeatable!
