Xuchang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao stood in front of the map and pondered, while Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others stood on both sides.

Recently, Yuan Shao is about to raise troops to attack, and the news that Cao Cao's forces are in danger is in danger. The people in the entire city of Xuchang were panicked, and many people began to flee with their families under the bewitchment of well-intentioned people.

Xun Yu, who was in charge of Xuchang's government affairs, knew very well that the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, so he sent people to actively persuade the people not to listen to rumors, and at the same time sent people to secretly arrest those who spread rumors.

At the same time, he also ordered people to preach how Cao Cao was benevolent and how Yuan Shao was brutal in the territory. Call on the people to unite as one to defend their homeland and resist Yuan Shao's army.

Guo Jia frowned, even if he put forward the theory of ten wins and ten defeats of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it still could not make up for the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

Even if you can achieve some tactical partial victories, if you don't have enough opportunities to change the situation, it will still be Cao Cao's side who will lose in the end.

Xiahoudun and other generals don't have so many thoughts, in their hearts, there is only one thought, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

After a long time, Cao Cao laughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yuan Shao is so arrogant, he dares to leak the military plan so long in advance, it is really stupid. ”

Cheng Yu stepped forward and agreed, "Indeed, Yuan Shao is arrogant, lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, nepotism, and scheming, how can he compare to the lord's modesty and introvertedness, external inspection and internal wisdom, meritocracy, and resourcefulness?" From a certain point of view, this battle will be won! ”

Xiahoudun also said: "Yuan Shao's generals are just Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the rest of the people are vulnerable. The lord is full of talents, and the fierce generals are like clouds. If Yuan Shao doesn't come, if he dares to come, he will take his head and sacrifice it to the lord. ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you can have this confidence, I will rest assured." The battle in the coming year is the time when we eliminate Yuan Shao and pacify the world! ”

Everyone echoed in unison: "Eliminate Yuan Shao and pacify the world!" ”

After Cao Cao discussed training, armaments, grain and grass, government affairs and other matters with everyone, he ended the discussion and left Xun Yu and Guo Jia alone.

At this moment, the faces of the three of them did not have the confidence they had just now, but instead they were dignified and worried.

Xun Yu first reported that he had recently arrested many of Yuan Shao's spies in Xuchang, and also found some letters from ministers, bureaucrats, and military officers who had fornicated with Yuan Shao, and asked Cao Cao what to do.

Cao Cao immediately ordered the execution of the secret agents, and as for those who fornicated with Yuan Shao, they were sent to closely monitor and not deal with them for the time being.

Guo Jia offered a strategy: Yuan Shao's advisers have always been at odds, so they can send secret agents to provoke and divide, and at the same time pay a lot of money to buy some middle and high-level officials to find out more detailed and specific military intelligence.

Cao Cao immediately agreed and ordered Guo Jia to take full responsibility for the matter.

After the three of them discussed, Cao Cao's mood relaxed a little, everything he could did was done, and the final victory or defeat of the battle between him and Yuan Shao could only depend on the will of heaven.

Unlike Cao Cao, who was full of worries, Yuan Shao was in a particularly good mood at the moment.

Under his wise command, Hebei has been completely pacified.

Hebei is rich in land, prosperous in commerce, complete in weapons, and full of soldiers.

Just wait for the spring of the next year, you can lead the army to cross the river, eliminate Cao Cao, who has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, pacify the Central Plains, and finally dominate the world.

Yuan Shao also received a letter from Chang'an, in which the writer claimed to be in charge of the defense of Chang'an City, and claimed that he was willing to take the opportunity to seize Chang'an as a capital for his advancement while Yuan Gong and Cao Thief were fighting.

He handed over the letter to a few of his henchmen to circulate, and his heart was very proud.

Xu You flattered: "The lord is mighty, and before he has used a single soldier, the enemy generals are willing to sacrifice Chang'an." It can be seen that the light of Cao Cao's fireflies can not compete with the light of the lord Haoyue. ”

Feng Ji also echoed: "Ziyuan is reasonable, after Cao Cao was eunuchized, he was born from a low background, and he dared to compete with the lord, which is really a mantis arm as a car - beyond his strength!" ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Haha, the lord praised it." ”

Tian Feng took the letter, hesitated in his heart, and cautiously persuaded Yuan Shao: "Lord, Chang'an is far away from here, and it is like a chicken rib to take it." Moreover, it is not known whether this letter is true or false, and the lord should be cautious to prevent fraud. ”

Yuan Shao was a person who had no idea, and when he heard Tian Feng's words, he began to doubt in his heart.

"Well, Yuan Hao has a point."

Xu You has always been at odds with Tian Feng, and immediately refuted:

"It must be true.

It is precisely because Chang'an is so far away that the other party dares to seize Chang'an. Imagine it, Cao Cao is at war with our army, does he still have the strength to rescue Chang'an? Therefore, the capture of Chang'an seems dangerous, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai.

Once Chang'an is lost, Cao Cao's rear will definitely be in chaos. Under the unstable morale of the army, our army will inevitably be like a bamboo, smashing the Yellow Dragon and annihilating Cao Cao in one fell swoop. ”

Feng Ji also echoed: "Ziyuan is right, this matter is extremely credible. The lord should immediately reply to the other party, and promise to promote the matter with the kindness of high-ranking officials. At the same time, a detachment should also be sent to Chang'an to assist the other side in capturing the city. ”

Yuan Shao shook again, "Haha, that's a good point, I think so too." ”

Frustrated and persuaded: "The lord can't, Cao Cao is resourceful, this matter should be careful." ”

Tian Feng also persuaded bitterly: "Lord, our army is fighting against Cao Cao, and the outcome is still unknown, how can we divide our troops to seize Chang'an, which is hanging alone?" If so, it would be foolish! ”

Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, and he brushed his sleeves and left.

Joke! I, Yuan Shao, am of noble birth, but I am the family of the third prince of the fourth world, how can I be afraid of a little eunuch? There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hebei, can't they still defeat Cao Apu, who only has tens of thousands of horses?

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, two guys who rely on the old and sell the old, after I seize the Central Plains, I will definitely want you to look good.

……

It was getting closer and closer to the start of the Battle of Guandu, and Chen Xu won Zhong Xuan's appreciation and trust through his outstanding performance, and the number of troops under his command reached 10,000.

If it weren't for the fact that Chang'an also needed a general to guard it, Zhong Miao even wanted to transfer him to Xuchang to get greater credit.

For this, Chen Xu was very grateful.

Regardless of the positions of both sides, Zhong Miao was still very good to him, not only gave him full trust, handed over the security and defense of Chang'an to him, but also recommended Cao Cao several times, believing that he was fully capable of defending one side.

It's a pity that the two will eventually go against each other.

Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao have already led the recruited soldiers to infiltrate Chang'an in batches.

Chen Xu also wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, claiming that he was willing to seize Chang'an in the Great War and dedicate it to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao also promised in his reply that as long as he can do what he says, he will definitely be able to obtain high-ranking officials in the future.

After receiving Yuan Shao's reply, Chen Xu took it to contact many families and bureaucrats who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and won their support.

At this time, Xuchang's city defense had fallen into his hands. Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and their soldiers were also arranged to blend into the city defense force.

Everything is ready, as long as the big war is together, Chang'an can be captured at any time.
