Chapter 372, Yuan Shu's movements

Some people look ordinary, but as long as they are given a platform, they can radiate dazzling light. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao is this kind of person.

When he was a young eagle lackey, Ren Xia was debauched, and he didn't study hard until he grew up, and when he was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, he killed Jian Tu with a five-colored stick and was amazing in one fell swoop.

The Yellow Turban Uprising, Cao Cao broke out again, at this time, he was already a cavalry captain of 2,000 stones, after the war was worshiped by Jinan Prime Minister, but also made the local Dazhi, and also recruited as the East County Taishou, because the situation did not ask, he asked to resign and returned to his hometown to study.

Out of the mountain again, it was already Liu Hongzheng to worship the military captain, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and moved to the cavalry captain, after escaping, he begged Dong to raise volunteers, and was appointed by Yuan Shao as a general of Fenwu. After the failure of the Dong Rebellion, he was exiled and later stationed in Hanoi to recuperate.

Unlike other princes who are courting Dong, Cao Cao has never had a piece of his own territory, and even Dong's court can be regarded as a branch under Zhang Miao. Stationed in Hanoi and incorporating Han Hao's troops left by Wang Kuang, Cao Cao regained some strength. Of course, he was still very weak compared to the other princes.

Hanoi was not his territory, and the new Hanoi Taishou did not welcome him, and was wary of him in every way, so Cao Cao had no choice but to withdraw from Huaixian and move east to the place where Jizhou and Yanzhou were bordered.

But all the time, Cao Cao didn't want to have his own territory.

He is in alliance with Yuan Shao, and he can be regarded as dependent on Yuan Shao, just because his strength is too weak. Yuan Shao himself was only a Bohai Taishou before, so naturally he couldn't push him forward, and Yuan Shao also had to prevent Cao Cao from surpassing him. It wasn't until now that Yuan Shao became the pastor of Jizhou that he finally had a chance.

Now, Cao Cao is in his residence, with a group of his subordinates, discussing the order he has just received from Yuan Shao.

"Do you want us to help exterminate the Black Mountain thieves in Wei County and Dong County? Yuan Shao, this is too deceitful! The Black Mountain Thieves are powerful, and even if we defeat the Black Mountain Thieves, the strength that we have finally recovered will be gone again. Xiahoudun read Yuan Shao's handwriting and said angrily.

"Big brother, what do you mean?" Cao Ren asked.

"This is a chance for us, a chance to get out of exile, and as long as we take down the East County, who can get us out? If you want me to do things for them, to defend the south for them, how can you do it if there is no benefit? Dongjun Taishou, I'm going to decide, even if Yuan Benchu doesn't give it at that time, I can take it myself. Cao Cao said confidently.

"The eldest brother's orders are, and we will listen to the eldest brother." Xiahoudun said.

"It is necessary to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves, which is in line with the interests of both sides, and now that we are weak, we can only rely on Yuan Benchu to exterminate the Black Mountain Thieves, so that Yuan Benchu has no worries, and he can go all out to confront Gongsun Zhan. We can only continue to be strong if he continues to be strong. Cao Cao said.

"But Dongjun can't go, now that Wang Qiu is still here, it doesn't make sense for us to go, let them continue to fight, and wait until Wang Qiu is dead or escapes. We're ready, ready to strike. ”

The Black Mountain Thieves used to be the Yellow Turban Army, and after the failure of the uprising, they were developed by the Jizhou Yellow Turbans, calling themselves the Black Mountain Thieves, and the leaders were Zhang Yan, Zhang Niujiao, Yu Poison, Bai Rao, Zheng Gu, Li Damu, Lei Gong, etc. Later, because of the disagreement of ideas, Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao were recruited by the imperial court and went to the thief number, known as the Black Mountain Army. And Yu Poison and others did not respect the laws of the imperial court, continued to be thieves, and copied a few counties, while Han Fu could not be royal.

Now is the period of instability in Jizhou, of course the Black Mountain thieves will not let go of this opportunity, they don't want to conflict with Zhang Yan, so they go south to Wei County and Dong County.

At the end of August of the second year of Chuping, after Wang Qiu was on the top for half a month, he was finally broken by the Black Mountain thieves in Puyang, Wang Qiu died, and Dongjun lost its owner.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was confronting Qingxu and the Yellow Turban in the east, and he could not send troops to recover Dongjun, so he could only let the Black Mountain thieves wreak havoc. At this time, Cao Cao raised the banner and marched into Dongjun, fighting Yu Poison and others in Puyang.

The Montenegrin army was numerous, and there were as many as 1.5 million in the East County alone, and some losses were lost in the battle with Wang Qiu, and some of the young men were coerced, but the number did not decrease.

And Cao Cao, who recuperated for a year, plus Han Hao's army, was less than half of the Black Mountain thieves. However, there are already several 7th-order generals under Cao Cao, and the combat power of the army is not comparable to that of the Black Mountain thieves.

Three major wars, the main force of the Black Mountain thieves was annihilated, and in the first battle of Puyang, Yu Poison and other Black Mountain bandit leaders fled in a hurry. Cao Cao didn't have time to rest, so he pursued with the army and drove the Black Mountain thieves all the way out of Dongjun, and even the Black Mountain thieves in Wei County were driven into the mountains by Cao Cao, and they didn't dare to come out to do evil again.

Yuan Shao's base camp was safe, and he was much more relieved, and immediately appointed Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun. Puyang was dilapidated due to the Black Mountain Bandit Rebellion, and Cao Cao moved to Dongwuyang.

In the place where he came into contact with Liu Bei and Zhang Yan's forces, Yuan Shao sent people to defend it, so he put his mind at ease and prepared to fight Gongsun Zhan with all his might.

……

After receiving this news, Liu Feng knew that Cao Cao's development trajectory had repeated itself like history, and since then, no one has been able to stop Cao Cao's rise. And because of Liu Feng's relationship, Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold in Jizhou, and it is still unknown whether Yuan Shao can finally realize his grand plan of fighting for the world according to Hebei?

Gongsun Zhan, who is now in the limelight, is Yuan Shao's strongest opponent, and no one knows if Liu Bei will support him, an old classmate, and join forces to strangle Yuan Shao.

Assassin, he has preliminarily integrated Yuqian County, leaving 500,000 people to defend the city, and with the other 1.4 million people plus the newly recruited 200,000 Danyang soldiers, he marched to She County in the south.

He had to act, because there was already news that Yuan Shu had a new move.

After Sun Jian defeated Zhou Qiao, he gathered the remnants of the army, and his strength recovered a large part of it, and the army had reached one million. Although he was still weak compared to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was already worried about him.

In order to weaken Sun Jian, he had asked his ally Tao Qian to recruit Zhu Zhi under Sun Jian's command to return to Xuzhou to help exterminate the Yellow Turban, and took away some people, and now, Zhu Zhi is still in Xuzhou and has not returned; Not long ago, he transferred Wu Jing to his side and appointed him as the Taishou of Danyang, dividing Sun Jian's strength again. But unexpectedly, Sun Jian wanted to beat the undead Xiaoqiang and recover again.

Sun Jian has experienced a hundred battles, and Yuan Shu loves and hates it, while funding it, he also restricts it, for fear that Sun Jian will attack him after he is strong.

So, at the same time that Cao Cao defeated the Black Mountain thieves, Yuan Shu transferred Sun Jian away from Yingchuan and prepared to take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou.

Anyway, the Xiliang Army is relatively peaceful now, and it has not done much more, so it is a good time to send troops. And Liu Biao was still fighting with the Soviet Union in Changsha, and he couldn't take care of the north at all.

He is a player, even as a prince, not as advantageous as the aborigines, and if you want to occupy a county, you need to fight county by county. According to Xun You's estimate, it will take him at least a year to completely occupy Danyang, and this is still under the condition that the army is going smoothly all the way. If you encounter a fortified city and it is too long to conquer it, it will take even longer.

Therefore, Liu Feng had to act as soon as possible, and before Yuan Shu took Jiujiang, he would spit Danyang down to prevent it from entering Jiangdong. When he is ready, even if Wu Jing comes again, holding the land of the two counties in his hands, across the river, Liu Feng is no longer afraid to confront Yuan Shu.

I just don't know, will Sun Jian be killed by Liu Biao like in history?

Liu Biao's army is still in Jiangnan, can he defeat Su Dai in time to return to help? Will Sun Jian take Xiangyang?

Liu Feng thought about these questions as he walked. (To be continued.) )
