Chapter 778: I Want to Fight!
Seeing Zhang Fan leaving, Yuan Shao suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, why don't you lead the army to pursue?" Jizhou is rich, you and I divide it equally, why not? ”
He was so dizzy that he would say this kind of words, if it was normal, Yuan Shao would have expected Cao Cao's thoughts, but he was defeated one after another, and it was when the anger was surging, and he didn't react for a while.
Cao Cao chuckled and shook his head, and said, "We are the same generals of the Han Dynasty, helping the imperial court to defend the territory, how can we kill each other?" In the future, I hope that you will live in harmony and stop causing disputes! ”
Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this: "Fengyun slashed my general Tai Shici and destroyed my 500,000 elite army. ”
Cao Cao said in his heart that it was best for you to fight, and I could also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but it was impossible for him to show it, and immediately comforted Yuan Shao a few words, but he did not have the meaning of wading into troubled waters, after all, Yanzhou's military strength was insufficient, and it was easy to put himself in if he attacked now, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"Brother Meng De, are you really unwilling to send troops to join forces with me?" Yuan Shao still didn't give up, and wanted to use Cao Cao's power to find the field: "How much food you want, you can say it clearly!" ”
"It's not about money!" Cao Cao shook his head and said: "After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there is not one out of ten, and all the places are in ruins. I, Cao Mengde, would never do that kind of thing! ”
That is to say, in history, Cao Cao was fighting in the south and the north, and he was more active than anyone else, and now he is in the development period of strength, and he doesn't want to shake his foundation, so he will say this kind of words that even he himself does not believe.
Yuan Shao wanted to say more, but was pulled by Yang Xiu beside him, the two talked in their ears, and they didn't know what to say, Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, and he no longer mentioned the matter of letting Cao Cao send troops, but said: "Now that our army has been defeated, with heavy casualties, and the storm is coming with victory, it must not be stopped, Brother Meng De does not want our two families to fight, but what is the best way?" ”
Yuan Shao was awakened by Yang Xiu, understood Cao Cao's thoughts, and knew that he could not persuade him to send troops, so he had to retreat and find another way.
Cao Cao wanted Zhang Fan and Yuan Shao to maintain the balance of power and consume each other, the two could be said to coincide, and immediately Cao Cao muttered: "Good people do it to the end, so I will go with you, set up a banquet in front of the two armies, and reconcile the two of you!" ”
Yuan Shao said yes, hurriedly agreed, Cao Cao led the headquarters of 300,000 soldiers and horses to march, most of the day later came to the vicinity of Linzong City, when it was dark, Cao Cao personally handwritten a letter, sent someone to Linzong City to hand over to Zhang Fan, and asked him to go to the city at noon tomorrow to attend a banquet outside the city.
Zhang Fan held the letter in his hand, his face was slightly gloomy, he finally defeated Yuan Shao, and had the opportunity to kill him, and then harvest the entire land of Qingzhou, but he didn't expect to kill Cao Cao halfway, looking like a peacemaker, in fact, his mind is more vicious than anyone else, so what can he do?
"Let's take a look!" Zhang Fan handed the letter to everyone to circulate, and then asked them what they thought.
Tian Feng and Xu Shu frowned after watching: "Isn't Cao Cao the lord's best friend, why did he help Yuan Shao?" ”
Zhang Fan and Cao Cao have known each other since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, fought side by side several times, and have a bad relationship, but it is really unexpected that he suddenly did such a thing.
Aoshuang Douxue and Fu Chen glanced at each other, and sighed lightly: "Cao Cao, this hero has finally shown his fangs!" ”
Tian Feng Xu Shu and others don't know Cao Cao, but it doesn't mean that the players don't know, in fact, everyone is quite familiar with Cao Cao, this is the founder of the Wei State and the founder of the Jin Dynasty, who doesn't know who doesn't know?
"Cao Cao's ambition is not small!" They said.
Xu Shu Tianfeng was a resourceful person, and he reacted quickly, they thought for a while, and then said: "The matter of Qingzhou cannot be postponed!" ”
"Now that Yuan Shao's army is defeated, the elite army is almost completely annihilated, and the other legions are weak in combat effectiveness, and they can't launch an attack for a while, if the lord wants to be safe, he can take this opportunity to collect his troops and develop as much as possible, I believe that with the heritage of Jizhou, any other state and county can only be out of reach, and after a year and a half, it will not be able to be checked and balanced by others!"
"If the lord wants to fight, then he will attack with the momentum of thunder, and completely defeat Yuan Shao before Cao Cao reacts, occupy Qingzhou, and then the general trend has been achieved, and Cao Cao has no choice, but this difficulty is too high, although Yuan Shao is defeated, but it is not completely without the strength to resist, once the situation is deadlocked, it is difficult to guarantee that Cao Cao will not take the opportunity to send troops to attack my rear!"
Tian Feng and Xu Shu were telling, Zhang Fan listened quietly, the two of them were worthy of their resourcefulness, and their analysis was three points, which was also the situation that Zhang Fan was currently facing, which was very difficult.
"Can't be delayed!" Zhang Fan sighed in his heart, if the situation is really as simple as it seems, then Zhang Fan will definitely choose to return to Jizhou, after all, Jizhou's heritage is unparalleled in the world, and his development speed is definitely faster than anyone else, but Tian Feng and Xu Shu don't know that there is also a God Slaughter Project Alliance secretly eyeing it!
The people of the God Slaughter Project are scattered in various states and counties, some develop on their own, and some people take refuge in the local princes, they may have a competitive relationship with each other, but as long as Zhang Fan is still there, their first target must be Zhang Fan, Jizhou!
That is to say, the current Zhang Fan is equivalent to being the enemy of the world, Jizhou is just a state, even if it is prosperous, even if it is deep, it can be one top two, but how can it compete with the world?
Now there seems to be only one choice in front of Zhang Fan, that is, under the premise that Cao Cao and the God Slaughter Plan Alliance have no time to support, quickly eliminate Yuan Shao, occupy Qingzhou, and then use the power of the two states to recuperate, maybe there is a power to fight!
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan said: "The prestige of the Yuan clan is too strong, and there are many supporters, if Yuan Shao can't be eliminated quickly, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not unite with other princes to assist, not to mention that there is also a Huainan Yuan Shu as its backing, if the matter of Qingzhou is delayed for too long, the situation may be reversed, and it will be us who will be passive at that time!" ”
"So, the lord wants to fight?" Tian Feng said.
Zhang Fan nodded, fight! Must fight!
Hearing this, Tian Feng and Xu Shu urgently began to discuss, and said after a while: "In this case, we have two strategies for the lord to choose!" ”
"One, the lord will go to the banquet tomorrow, you can bring General Zilong and others to see if you can capture and kill Yuan Shao in the banquet, once Yuan Shao dies, Cao Cao will not dare to act rashly, at most he can only contain it, and he can't stop the general trend!"
"Second, if the assassination fails, the lord can pretend to reconcile with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will not be able to stay in Qingzhou for a long time, and when he leaves, we will immediately send troops to kill Yuan Shao by surprise, and then advance rapidly, sweeping the entire Qingzhou!"
Zhang Fan's gaze gradually contracted!
