Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Cause of the Alliance

Guo Fengxiao is Cao Cao's first military division at the moment, but because there is no historical opportunity, there are not many people who take refuge in Cao Cao, especially in the chaotic land of Yanzhou, many people of insight have not taken refuge in Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, but these people will not support Tang Quan, because Tang Quan's rule will deprive the wealthy family of the land and the opportunity for the hegemony of the children of the family.

This Guo Jia is greedy for wine and a good beauty, his body and bones are not good at all, after buying the Lusu brand Lao Baigan, this Guo Jia is often drunk, even on this occasion to talk about important things, he is also half drunk and half awake, hearing Liu Zhang's inquiry, he burped and said after the hall was sour and smelly:

"Why can't this be, Tang Quan in Yanzhou is bound to win, after pacifying and annexing the state with his military strength, maybe the first thing is to attack us, if we fail, everyone will have one less ally, and the power will be less;

I had already taken a look when I came, Jingzhou's territory is not small, and the king of Chu is a relative of the Han family, I don't think I want to see such a quick change of dynasty, right?

If the king of Chu is willing to hand over Jiangxia and Hanshou to the king of Wei and the king of Qi to station, we can move the people of Yanzhou to these two places to block Sun Jian's army for the king of Chu, and Nanyang is Jingzhou's key to rush and cannot be lost, if the king of Chu sends an army to station in Xinye and the king of Nanyang becomes a horn, Tang Quan's army can support even if it attacks us. ”

Liu Zhang smiled coldly and looked at the others, none of them would think that Liu Biao would let the two jackals come to resist the tiger, but they didn't plan to sneer at it, but Liu Biao nodded and said:

"Guo Fengxiao is right, we can only ally at this time, first confront Tang Quan, and then recruit a large army to prepare grain and grass to fight a decisive battle with it on the line from Jiangxia to Maicheng, and if we win, we may counterattack the Central Plains, and if we are defeated, there will be no way out, so I plan to hand over the Jiangxia line to the jurisdiction of King Qi of Wei, and I will be responsible for the territory after Xiangyang Nanxiang;

However, we are left with Liangzhou, Jingzhou and Yizhou, although Jingzhou and Yizhou are rich, but it is very difficult to support a million troops for a long time, so we only have one chance, we must hurry, otherwise even if we want to unite in the future, there will be no chance. ”

Liu Biao's performance was beyond everyone's conjecture, it turned out that Guo Fengxiao arrived in Jingzhou a few days ago, and after hooking up with Liu Biao's important ministers, he and those guys stated all kinds of dangers to Liu Biao, so Liu Biao would allow the two princes to come to his own territory.

Li Ru and Jia Xu glanced at each other silently, both of them were ruthless and evil military divisions, and their resourcefulness far exceeded that of most of the people present, even if Guo Jia compared them with them, it was only between the two of them, and when they heard it, they knew that this was Cao Cao's calculation, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were Cao Cao's opponents, as long as the wolf was lured into the room, this Jingzhou land would soon have to change masters.

Although Tang Quan's army was able to attack in one fell swoop, and even had a great chance of victory, why did he just recover one place at a time, that is, in order to lay down one place and settle another, so as to avoid chaos in the occupied area;

Li Ru and Jia Xu analyzed in detail that it would take at least six months for Tang Quan to attack Liangzhou and Yanzhou, during which he would stabilize the occupied territory, and it would be at least a year before he wanted to attack Jingzhou.

The original alliance now seems to be very likely to cause civil strife, the two military divisions just listened and no longer expressed their opinions, after a few days of continuous discussion, the envoys and Liu Yan reached an agreement, Liangzhou army soldiers are many generals, mainly responsible for guarding the first line of Chang'an, if they are attacked, Yuan Shu and Liu Biaojun will go out of Nanyang to attack Yanzhou, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who retreated to the Jiangxia line, will attack Jiangdong, so that Tang Quan's army can not gather superior forces to win in one fell swoop.

The armies of Liu Biao and Liu Yan continued to recruit a large number of troops, reaching or surpassing Tang Quan's army, and were also responsible for the supply of military rations to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the early days.

Leaving Xiangyang, Jia Xu and Li Ru rushed to Liangzhou, and when they were halfway to rest, Li Ru squinted his eyes and looked ahead and said:

"Wenhe, do you see the future?"

"Wenyou, can you see the light again?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Li Ru shook his head and said:

"I assisted Xiangguo when burning Luoyang, driving millions of people from Sizhou to Chang'an, countless deaths and injuries along the way, according to the people of the world, I am deeply guilty, only one death to thank the world, but I can't die for the time being, if Chang'an experiences another war, I don't know how many people will die."

"It's a pity that Li and Guo Yan are ambitious, and you and I can't persuade them." Jia Xu smiled bitterly.

"Ma Teng......" Li Ru said.

Jia Xu was stunned and said:

"Look, if he is also ambitious, the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou are estimated to be very miserable, the hussars are everywhere, they will be destroyed if they don't surrender, and they will be destroyed under the Tang Hussar army, and there is only one way to perish, it seems that I have to plan a retreat."

Li Ru smiled:

"Well, by the way, Guo Fengxiao's kid obviously sees that no one in the world can stop the hussar army, but he is still loyal to Cao Cao and calculates a chance for him, even if Cao Cao captures Jingzhou? Do you think you really have a chance? ”

贾诩 says:

"He just counted the confrontation between the two armies and mutual support, but unfortunately he only had Cao Mengde in his heart, but he forgot how long it would take for Tang Quan to attack the city, if he really attacked Nanyang and Chang'an, maybe before the news reached their ears, the city had already fallen, forget it, let's go back and prepare for our affairs."

Knowing that the princes were preparing to join forces to contend with each other, Tang Quan didn't even have the spirit to pay attention, at first he thought that there would be many battles in this world, and after careful calculation, he personally went into battle once, but directly killed Guan and Zhang.

That Liu Da'er has now taken refuge in Liu Biao, leading 5,000 troops to Xinye, but there is only Jian Yong under his command, not to mention calculating how many gains and losses, in the current chaotic situation in the world, he doesn't even have a chance to grow up.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao drove the people across the Yangtze River, and the already fiery Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou became bigger and bigger, and the two had to quickly transport all the army supplies across the Yellow River after driving away less than 500,000 people, but as soon as they left Tang Quan's army stationed in Yanzhou, the Yellow Turban Army disappeared in an instant.

Picking up a Yanzhou and an empty Sizhou, Tang Quan stopped after arranging 300,000 troops along the river, and then some people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou began to migrate to Yanzhou and Sizhou.

After the capture of Bingzhou and Jiaozhou, Tang Quan, the hussar general who occupied most of the country, stopped attacking on all fronts and began to develop people's livelihood, which made the princes and coalition forces who had been nervous suddenly unable to find anything to do.

It's not that there is nothing to do at all, Tang Quan didn't attack the princes for two years, but the civil strife in various places began, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao teamed up to kill Liu Biao and then crusaded against each other, Yuan Shao's defeated subordinates were besieged and killed by Cao Cao's generals, and Yuan Shao's body was finally thrown into the river and could not be found.
