In March and April of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao went west to Dongjun, Lu Bu and Chen Gong left in the wilderness, Zhang Miao threw Yuan Shu to the south, and Zhang Chao died in the chaos. However, Cao Cao's henchman Li Gan was wounded on the battlefield and died of serious injuries, and his son Li Quan succeeded him.

At the same time, Xuzhou soldier Cao Bao led the army south, stationed in Louting, and pretended to summon the next Pi Xiangzhi to meet, wanting to capture him in front of the army. It's a pity that the incident is not secret, the news leaked, and Zhen Rong led 10,000 monks and laymen and 3,000 horses to Guangling, and wanted to ask Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, to ease his cheeks. Zhao Yu treated him as a guest, but unexpectedly, Zhen Rong suddenly had evil intentions during the banquet, and he actually killed Zhao Yu and occupied Guangling County.

In the corners where the wings of the little butterfly can't be cared for, historical figures still follow their predetermined life trajectory towards the end...... Although Li Cheng was not killed by Lu Bu and Xue Lan and Li Feng, he still died on the front line of the confrontation with Lu Bu, although Zhang Chao did not die in Yongqiu City, but he was also in a different place; And Zhang Miao was killed by his generals on the way to Yuan Shu, and like Zhao Yu, he ended up dying in exactly the same way as in the original history.

Zhao Yu was killed, and the news of Zhenrong's occupation of Guangling reached Louting, Cao Bao was shocked, and immediately sent troops to the east, and broke the army in Dongyang. Di Rong then plundered the hinterland of Guangling and crossed the river to return to his hometown Danyang. When this news reached Tancheng, Tao Qian was shocked and angry, and finally couldn't afford to get sick.

Soon after Shixun returned to Juancheng, Cao Cao echoed Tao Qian, and the same pottery merchant was the assassin of Xuzhou. In August of that year, Tao Qian died of illness "on time", but the successor was no longer Liu Bei, but his son Tao Shang. Immediately, the potter sent Shikuan to Juancheng to express his attachment. Cao Cao instructed the pottery merchant Chen Deng to be the Taishou of Guangling, Cao Bao to be the Minister of Xiapi, Lu Zhu to be the Taishou of the East China Sea, and Zang Ba to be the Minister of Langxi, and moved the state from Tancheng to Pengcheng Guoliu County. Near Yanzhou. Immediately, Cao Cao also sent Lü Qian to Liuxian. He co-ruled Xuzhou with Cao Hong.

Look. After the unremitting efforts of Shi Xun, Chen Deng and others, Xuzhou finally fell peacefully into the hands of Cao Cao. But soon, the news that people broke through the glasses came, Qingzhou Thorn History Yuan Tan Biao Liu Bei was the Thorn History of Yuzhou, and Liu Bei was stationed in the area of Ju County in the north of Langxie Country, and no longer respected the order of Xuzhou Thorn History. Zang Ba wanted to expel him, and the two sides met a small battle, and the Xuzhou soldiers were defeated. Zang Xuangao fled back to Kaiyang in embarrassment. Yuan Tan sent Wang Xiu to Liuxian to question, and Cao Hong and Lu Qian finally fooled the past - after all, at this time, no one was missing between Yuan and Cao, and it was impossible to really fight each other, especially Cao Cao, who did not have enough capital to be hostile to the Yuan clan in Hebei.

This year's drought in the Central Plains, from May to August, there was no rain, and the price of Chang'an grain soared to 500,000 yuan - that is basically equivalent to a complete source of goods - people cannibalism. The situation in the Kanto region was slightly better, but Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan were also forced to withdraw their troops for this reason, waiting for another battle in the following year. Yuan Shu was forced to cross the Yangtze River south to eat, and started a fierce battle with the new Yangzhou assassin Liu Xuan. The potter followed the practice of my father in previous years. wanted to transport 50,000 grains to the capital, but was detained by Cao Cao - Cao Cao said that we can't eat enough, why do we care about others? If there are only the emperor and the ministers and hundreds of officials in Beijing, there is no Li Dao and Guo Yan, you can send it, with those two bastards, from now on, they will not give them a grain of rice!

After the autumn, Cao Cao took the opportunity to send troops to Runan, successfully subdued Runan Yellow Turban Liu Pi and other troops, confiscated a large number of ploughing cattle and farm tools, and expanded the scale of Tuntian. However, because of the lack of food and grass, he was unable to continue to expand the results of the battle and attacked Yuan Shu again. Immediately, Yuan Jian was the assassin of Yuzhou, in order to replace Guo Gong, and went to Qian County to take office.

In the past few years, Cao Cao prepared all the grain, and then swept the bottom of the warehouses of Xu and Yan and the elk family, and collected more than 100,000 grains, which could launch a small-scale campaign. So he convened the ministers to discuss, saying that the big enemy in front of our eyebrows is still Yuan Shu, and while he led the main force to cross the river to win, do you want to rush forward and copy his old nest Shouchun?

Xun Yu spoke first, saying that I am in favor of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and then fight Yuan Shu, but our food and grass are limited, it is impossible to distribute a large army, and it is impossible to last, and it is very difficult to capture Shouchun in one go. If the army is under the fortified city, and there is no result in the sowing period, Yuan Shu will reflexively kill back, and it will inevitably turn into defeat. It's better to pick a different direction of attack and capture the target.

Cao Cao said that Chen Yuanlong sent a letter a few days ago, and the plains between Daoguangling, Xiapi and Jiujiang were connected, and there was no danger to defend......

Shi Xun heard the word "Dongcheng" next to him, and suddenly remembered a person, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he heard Cao Cao say: "I want Cao Shuyuan to lead the army to attack Dongcheng, in order to confuse Yuan Shu, and send another general to cross Huai and take Yangquan and Tatexian County. ”

Yangquan and Tatexian are the two northernmost counties of Lujiang County, and they can be said to be the northwestern part of Yuan Shu's power. This was a ploy to attack the west, and everyone agreed with it. However, Cheng Yu looked at the map for a long time and put forward supplementary opinions: "Yangquan and Tatexian are facing the plains with the Huai River behind their backs, and it is difficult to attack them if I cross the Huai River, and it is difficult to defend against Yuan Shu according to them." It is better to push forward to the line of Lu'an and Yanlou, then lean on Shaobi and Shuishui in the east, and Dabie Mountain in the south, so as to resist the enemy. ”

When everyone heard this, they all agreed-Yesun didn't know much about military affairs, and he was not familiar with the terrain of Huainan, so he had to fill up the numbers indiscriminately and nod along with the big guys. But he always had to show his existence, so he had the courage to propose a supplement: "If you take the five counties of Lujiang (in addition to Yangquan, Tatexian County, Lu'an, and Yanlou, there is also an Anfeng County east of Shaobi), then you will be connected to Jiangxia, and I am afraid that there will be a conflict with Huang Zu." An envoy should be sent to Xiangyang to affirm the intention of harmony to Liu Jingsheng, so as not to cause extraneous trouble. ”

Xun Yu stroked his palms and said: "What Hongfu said is extremely true. Such a heavy responsibility cannot be taken care of. ”

Shixun wanted to slap himself on the spot - you're sick, what a mouth! There would be no danger in going to Xiangyang, and he really wanted to take this opportunity to meet those Jingxiang celebrities - that was the second gathering place of the Han Dynasty under Chen Liu and Yingchuan - but the distance from Juancheng to Xiangyang was not close, and there were no trains or planes in these years, the road was far away, and he could only ride horses or carriages, and because of years of war, many local houses were deserted, and it was not possible to find a place to live anywhere. All in all, business travel is a chore in this day and age, plus there are no travel allowances......

But his words have already come out of his mouth, and Xun Yu has also made it clear...... If someone else assigns himself like this, he can still argue a few words and strive to relieve this burden, but Xun Yu said it, it would be no different from Cao Cao himself giving an order. If Cao Cao is the chairman, then Xun Yu is the CEO, how dare Xun refute his face?

In fact, this is all caused by myself, not to mention that there is no matter how much to talk about...... His original ideal was to be a literary scholar next to Cao Cao or some other warlord, or to be an ink ribbon chief or even two thousand stones in an outgoing place, and engage in administrative work. If it is a pure literary person, you see that Yuan Shaoning sent Xun Chen to Xuzhou, and he would not send Chen Lin, who was originally from Xuzhou, to go on a business trip; If he were to be a strategist, Cao Cao would definitely be inseparable from Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and it would be impossible for them to engage in publicity and sales...... Today's Cao Ying, if he wants to go out and play tricks, even Shixun himself has decided that he is the best choice......

There's no way, anyway, it's a knife to stretch out your head, and it's also a knife to shrink your head, and you can't avoid it left and right, so it's better to behave positively. Shi Xun had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand: "Dare not obey your fate?" ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "If Hongfu goes to Jingzhou, Cao will rest assured." So who should be the general to attack Lujiang and how many soldiers and horses should be commanded? ”

The strategists discussed together for a long time, and finally decided to take Cao Ren as the main general, Tai Shici and Le Jin as the deputy generals, and led an army of 12,000 to attack Yuan Shu. Shi Xun followed the army first, and after crossing the Huaishui River and taking the first county seat, he then turned to Jiangxia.

Coming out of the council hall, Shixun lowered his head and was repeatedly complaining about himself in his heart, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Hongsuke go slowly." Turning his head to take a look, it turned out to be Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, and hurriedly gave up his hand and waited. Xun Yu caught up with him and said, "I have a son of an old man, who was originally in Xijing, took refuge and went to Jingzhou to rely on Liu Jingsheng. Write a letter tomorrow and ask Kosuke to help deliver it. ”

Yes Xun said that there was no problem, but I don't know who this person's surname is? Xun Yu said, this person is a Gaoping person, his great-ancestor served as a lieutenant in the Shun Emperor Dynasty, and his ancestor served as a Sikong in the Lingdi Dynasty, with a prominent family background, and his surname is Zhongxuan.

It was Xun Xin who said that I know the Tao Wang Cang, who is the leader of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", and the current ...... He is about to become one of the most famous literary artists of our time. This person also showed up in his romance, and once persuaded Liu Cong to surrender to Cao after Liu Biao's death. But this is a real poet, I'm a fake, fake meets true, take a detour, it's best not to have too close contact with him.

Since Wang Cang was mentioned, Shi Xun couldn't help but think of the other people in the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" - Kong Rong probably fled back to his hometown Lu to live in seclusion, Chen Lin was still with Yuan Shao, and the other Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, Liu Zhen, and Xu Gan didn't know where Lu Dao was? I just remember that I have heard people talk about it in this life, Xu Gan is his fellow countryman, a native of Beihai, and the other three don't remember their hometown and background.

Immediately ask Xun Yu - that guy is simply half of Shilin's living dictionary - I heard that these people are also quite famous, I don't know where Lu Dao is from, what are you doing now, do you know Lu Dao? Xun Yu glanced at him: "Hongfu has heard a lot-Ruan Yuanyu Chen Liuren, Ying Delian Runan is also from Runan, and Liu Gonggan is from Dongping, all of them are not at home." Unfortunately, I have not yet had the opportunity to recommend it to the lord. ”

It's Xun Xin who said hey, it turns out that they are all characters in your pocket...... In other words, these people are all gathered, and it is enough for a large-scale Xun Party, and Cao Cao will force you to death in the future, won't there be this factor? (To be continued......)
