Chapter 440: The depressed Cao Cao and the extravagant Yuan Shu
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Cao Cao, at this moment, he was depressed and went home, this defeat had completely lost the prestige of the imperial court, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao also played carefully, and secretly expressed that he would not fight again.
This time Liu Biao also suffered heavy losses, and the number of sailor warships sunk into Huaishui is also quite large, the most important thing is the prestige of the imperial court, since Yuan Shu can be called the emperor, and he has not been wiped out, then what about the Han clan relatives like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, should they also ......
He regrets it a little now, and it can even be said that he regrets it very much, when he was careful, he favored Liu Bei on the issue of Xuzhou, although he got the fierce general Guan Zhang that he wanted, but because of this, he offended the biggest prince in the Han world-Lin Sen, and even took Lin Sen's friends - Sili Wang Geng and Lao Gen withdrew the army, I didn't think anything before, but now it seems that this is really a loss-making deal.
The tiger and leopard cavalry is the world's sharpest, the Yanzhou army is also a rare elite soldier, he is absolutely confident in the land battle to defeat the enemy, but unfortunately, a Huaishui blocked him, and Liu Biao, who is famous for his water division, was helpless, so that he lost his countermeasures in an instant.
If, if he did not offend Lin Sen, he sent troops to Jiujiang County, Liu Biao attacked Lujiang County, Lin Sen invaded Guangling, and then surrounded by three roads, the rebel division would definitely be.
But now, Xuzhou did not get it, Zhong's Yuan Shu did not calm down, the allies left one after another, and only the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang were harvested. And because of the Xuzhou incident, he has also become a rotten vegetable gang in the hearts of the people of the world and the heroes of the princes, and the only thing available is Zhang Erjiang, but these two people are only Liu Bei, how can this be good.
Ay......
As a master, he knows his mistakes, corrects them, and does not admit them. The broken tooth could only be swallowed in Cao Cao's stomach.
It's a dead end, quit the army? Cao Cao didn't dare, once he retreated, the enemy army would inevitably cross the Huaishui and storm Yuzhou, and now he had few soldiers, which was too dangerous.
I meditated, but I didn't have any plans in my head. I had to ask the strategists.
Xun You said: "General, at this time, you can't withdraw the army, you have been fighting for several months, although the soldiers are tired, but this is also to let the people of the world know the general's determination to suppress the rebellion. Retreat at this time, this sharp spirit. And the prestige and righteousness of the imperial court will be gone, please think twice! ”
Cao Cao squinted his eyes, fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "Even after fighting for ten months, there are many grains and grasses that are insufficient. I'm afraid it's hard to fight for a long time. ”
Xun You continued: "In another month is the time of the grain harvest, and the army's food and salary will also be replenished. There will definitely be a lot of grain and grass reserves hoarded. ”
"In the previous battle of Huaishui, Liu Jingsheng suffered the same heavy losses, more than 200 warships sank to the bottom of the river, when he left, it was clearly stated from his words that he would not participate in the war again, and now let him pay food, will he still agree?"
Xun You said: "Liu Jingsheng is a relative of the Han family, loyal to the elders, if he sends someone with the edict of the Son of Heaven to persuade him to provide some food and salary for the army, I think he will still agree." ”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "General Lin Sen is far away in Liaodong, he may not be familiar with the war in the Central Plains, it is better for us to purchase grain and grass from General Ermao who stayed in Ye County at the same time, or we can succeed." ”
Cheng Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The general must not be confused, he has offended General Lin Sen in Xuzhou before, and at this moment he is defending the country against foreign humiliation, so the general forcibly requisitioned grain and grass from Jizhou, it will lose the hearts of the people, if General Lin Sen raises troops to invade the south in the future......
After Cheng Yu said this, Cao Cao was shocked, he was confused, for a moment he seemed to feel that the Son of Heaven and the imperial court seemed to be useless, he thought that there was an edict from the Son of Heaven and the prestige of the imperial court, even if the princes around the country did not support him, they would not help Yuan Shu, but the actual situation was the opposite, after several twists and turns, the princes who supported him have left, but the Yuan Shu camp is still the same, is it true that the world of the Han Dynasty will be divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties?
Counseling the doctor Dong Zhao to accompany the army, he had an idea, thought of his own specialty, and said: "General, the rebel camp has a mixed mix of forces, and most of them are for profit, or you can promise to use heavy profits to provoke its internal strife, divide and rule, if it succeeds, the enemy army will not attack itself." ”
Cao Cao showed a faint look of joy on his face, but he was still very bitter in his heart, fortunately he had a big beard, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see this funny face.
"Okay, Gongda and Gongren's policies are very much in line with my wishes and feasible." One person counts the short, the two count the long, whether it is successful or not, there is finally a way out, there is no need to wait, the edict of the Son of Heaven does not need to be sent by Xu Du, after Cao Cao finishes compiling, stamp the seal of the imperial court, and then order Xu Du to send someone to send it.
In comparison, Yuan Shu's life is too beautiful, it is obvious that he has succeeded in becoming the emperor, there are too many people in his camp, and there are people in the southern states who support him, and he is also a powerful prince, like a tiger with wings.
At this moment, he is lying on the dragon couch, enjoying the service of beautiful women, and the dragon table in front of him is full of delicacies, fresh fruits, snacks and wine.
Yuan Shu is full of jewels, and his body is either gold and silver jewelry or pearl tortoiseshell, and they are all the top, and the palace hall is also so magnificent, comparable to the Luoyang Palace before it was destroyed, and the city lord's mansion of Qingquan City, which has been built for many years, is a burrow in front of it, and it can be imagined how much money Yuan Shu spent to enjoy.
In addition to the palace and food, of course, women are also the focus of Yuan Shu's enjoyment, at the beginning of the anti-heaven usurption, he began to choose beautiful women, Jiangnan women are beautiful, each bird depends on people, Wu Nong's warm words are very suitable for Yuan Shu's appetite.
Later, the war broke out suddenly, the situation was tense, and the matter of the beauty pageant was temporarily stopped, and now Cao Cao has been defeated, and the situation has stabilized, of course, this matter will start again, he has prepared the concubine's jewelry, and it is also top-notch.
It can be imagined how erosive Yuan Shu's life should be, and you can also imagine the living conditions of the soldiers under his command, it must be very poor, the original territory is small, and now Huaibei is lost, he is so extravagant, there is so much money, and there must be less money and food for the army.
To be honest, Yuan Shu doesn't care much about this, he is now successful as the emperor, and there are so many people to support him, this is enough, what is the loss of the two countries in Huaibei, isn't it another Guangling County in Xuzhou, and it is enough to provide him with money and food to enjoy.
It was a waste for famous military generals like Yan Xiang, Ji Ling, and Zhang Xun to give him.
Yan Xiang walked slowly from outside the hall, and when he entered the hall and saw Yuan Shu so rotten and absurd, he couldn't help frowning wildly, and felt a burst of disgust in his heart, is it so unbearable for the best children of the Yuan clan of the fourth world and the third duke, if it goes on for so long, I am afraid that this Huainan will also be lost.
He decided that even if he convicted Yuan Shu this time, and was convicted and imprisoned, he would also admonish Yuan Shu, the master, that it would definitely not work if it went on like this.
"Your Majesty......"
Yan Xiang knelt down to salute, and Yuan Shu immediately greeted him and said, "Doctor Yan is here, get up quickly, come and enjoy these delicacies with me, come and come!" ”
Yan Xiang's face was serious, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has something to do......
Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "I am very happy today, I don't talk about anything, come on, come on, it's a big pity that you don't taste these delicious dishes." ”
"But Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do."
"Alas! I said it, I'm happy today, I don't talk about anything, today is just drinking wine and eating meat. The concubines and concubines next to them were also extremely showy, and the people who seduced them laughed and laughed.
"Hey......" Seeing this, Yan Xiang was overwhelmed with grief, sighed, turned around and shook his head and walked out of the hall.
Does the Zhong Dynasty have a future? ……
