Jian'an for four years, spring and March.

The vast majority of spring ploughing areas have begun to come to an end, and the people who have worked hard for two or three months have ushered in the first batch of rest time, followed by hoeing and so on.

The pattern of Hebei gradually kicked off with a big war.

Youzhou Gongsun Zan sent his son to ask for help from the Black Mountain thieves, and the news spread far and wide, known to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao finally chose to plan after the advice of his subordinates,

Pretending to be a signal for reinforcements, he lured Gongsun Chan out of the city, and finally fought outside the city, and punished Gongsun Chan on foot, but he himself fled into the city but knew that his time was short, and he was drunk all day long.

Up and down centrifugal detachment, finally broken by Yuan Shao, he killed his wife and children and finally self-immolation and died, the death is also tragic, with his death, but also completely for the northern Yuan Shao hegemony to draw an end.

With the tragic death of Gongsun Zhan, the entire Youzhou was thrown under the rule of Yuan Shao at the fastest speed, so far the entire Hebei Qingyou and Hebei four states were controlled by Yuan Shao.

It's just that what people never expected is that

Yuan Shao controlled the entire Hebei, and did not want to determine the heirs as soon as possible, but divided Youzhou to Yuan Xi, and the state to his nephew Gao Gan, and Qingzhou was garrisoned by his eldest son Yuan Tan.

The favorite third son, Yuan Shang, stayed in Jizhou.

In Yuan Shao's meaning, he wants to cultivate Yuan Shang, but he also wants a few brothers to fight, otherwise this is a matter that people can decide? It's a complete idiot!

Don't avoid the internal friction of the heirs, Yuan Shao is good, take the initiative to give them a chance, and he was forced to participate in the internal friction because he didn't want to have internal friction.

The key is that in this matter, each strategist has many positions, which causes Yuan Shao's thinking to be even more confused, and he has no ability to judge, so that he is even more uncertain about what to do.

In the end, Yuan Shao took Youzhou, and Wuhuan took the initiative to make friends, which made Yuan Shao full of confidence.

In his opinion, it was easy to take down Cao Cao.

Finally, at the suggestion of the scribes of each department, first choose the class to return to the dynasty and rectify the morale of the army.

As for Cao Cao's side, according to Yuan Shao's intentions, it must be beaten, and the specific situation has to be discussed.

————

Handu, Xuchang.

Xuchang, as the new Han capital, has countless merchants from the south and north, families who have gathered, and countless people who are attached to it, and the city is also full of traffic.

At this moment, the city will be in the palace.

Cao Cao listened to the messenger in the hall, his old face darkened, and he said gloomily: "You said that Gongsun Zan was killed by Yuan Shao?" The whole Youzhou heard the news and fell into the wind? ”

"Exactly!" The messenger nodded.

"Damn, Gongsun Chan still hasn't survived this spring after all." Cao Cao clenched his fists, full of anger, he guessed that Gongsun Chan couldn't hold on,

But now that he has died in battle and Youzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao, he is still a little irritable, which means that Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 troops will go south soon.

Damn, that's definitely not good news.

"The lord, the time is also fate, Gongsun Zan has long been out of the climate, and he will die sooner or later, but Yuan Shao, as a prince, is so naïve that he actually sealed Youzhou to Yuan Xi,"

"Now, Qingyou and the four states of Hebei under his rule have all been sealed, and I am afraid that no one can match the stupidity of this person." Xun Yu said with a chuckle.

In his opinion, Yuan Shao's decision can be called invincible.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's decision and implementation of this decision can be seen that Yuan Shao's subordinates are all roe heads and rats, and I am afraid that the internal friction in this is extremely serious."

Cheng Yu also chuckled and said.

"Hehe, Jia has already said that Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, and the internal ministers have different personalities, and this decision is tantamount to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot,"

Guo Jia also stroked his beard and chuckled.

Obviously, for Yuan Shao's various actions, Cao Cao's think tank is completely disdainful.

Cao Cao nodded, Yuan Shao's treatment of his heirs was too far from him, and he treated his heirs by taking them with him to observe and establish heirs.

Even so, Cao Cao's heirs will have some disputes in the future, but they are much smaller than Yuan Shao's.

"Lord, although Yuan Shao is stupid, but the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, now they are unified in the north, sitting on the Qingyou and Hebei four states, and with a million armor under his command, which should not be underestimated."

"And as far as I know, Wuhuan in the north has long bowed to Yuan Shao, and the decisive battle between our army and Yuan Shao is getting closer and closer, and the lord must not be careless."

Xun Yu, who didn't speak for a long time, said in a deep voice.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao is stupid, but he has stupid capital.

"Wuhuan? Hmph, it's just a mess, and Yuan Shao will appoint him, if they dare to take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, I will let him come and go, and he will die as many as he comes. ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly, his eyes bursting with war.

He is still very tired of Zahu, especially Zahu who does not listen to his own words, in later generations, because Wuhuan contained Eryuan, Cao Cao directly led his troops north for thousands of miles.

There is also Zhang Liao's reputation of stepping on Wuhuan and slashing with a knife, and even because of this battle, Zhang Liao is one of the sixty-four generals of Wumiao, which can also be seen Cao Cao's hatred for Wuhuan.

The crowd was silent.

"According to Wen Ruo's meaning, how should our army be arranged?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, this person can be called his right-hand man, and he is the most important person.

"First to come!" Xun Yu said.

"Lord, no accident, after Yuan Shao returns to Ye, he will inevitably edict the world to worship heaven and earth, and to crusade against the lord, so the lord should brake quietly."

"First, to defend Yecheng and guard against Jingzhou."

"Second, to guard Ruyin and guard against Yangzhou."

"Third, we will rectify Guanzhong and prevent Xiliang."

"Fourth, rectify all localities under the rule and prevent defections."

"Before confronting Yuan Shao this time, we must prepare this four-defense policy and implement it, only on this basis can we have the hope of retreating from the enemy head-on."

Xun Yu is well-organized, and it is obvious that he has fought for the Great War of the North and South countless times, and it is extremely rigorous.

Cao Cao nodded, he highly recognized Xun Yu's analysis, and even he thought of this, but it was not as detailed as Xun Yu thought.

"In addition to the four defenses, this is also needed."

"First, prepare more grain and grass to prevent future troubles!"

"Second, dispatch in advance and strike later!"

"Third, arrange the holy will to suppress people with power!"

"Lord, Yu said in the early years that the lord and Yuan Shao are at war, the lord has four wins and Yuan Shao has four defeats, there is no need to worry too much, just do your best and obey the destiny of heaven!"

Xun Yu's expression was indifferent, because the current situation was better than he thought, after all, Xuzhou was successfully won, and nails were inserted in the left and right wings.

The direct restraint allowed Yuan Shao to send troops south from Liyang and other places in the middle, and the strategic buffer was obviously in Puyang and other places, so it was easy to prepare!

"Yuan Shao is so scheming, I don't take it seriously," Cao Cao said this, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The lord is worried about Chu Feng?" Xun Yu answered, because the biggest change in this battle was indeed not Yuan Shao, but Chu Feng, this person was deceitful and changeable, how could he sit still and wait for death.

"Who else can make me so jealous but this person?" Cao Cao rubbed his temples, his eyes were a little tired, he was worried that he would win the battle head-on and be stolen by Chu Feng!

This man can do such a thing!

"Lord, Chu Feng really has to be guarded, it is better to send someone to Hefei, instead of making peace, so as to win the world for our army to defeat Yuan Shao!"

Cheng Yu suggested in a deep voice.

"No, the peace talks are just a piece of paper, with Chu Feng's character, he will definitely not abide by it, and when the time comes, not only will he not be able to reap the benefits, but he will fall into disadvantage."

Xun Yu hurriedly said.

"Lord, I think that Chu Feng will not dare to act rashly, he will definitely not be stupid enough to unite with the strong to suppress the weak, otherwise once the lord retreats from the pass, it will be him Chu Feng who suffers."

"With such a vigilant person, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. On the contrary, he will sit on the shore and watch the fire, that is to say, he will be the same whether he talks peace or not! ”

Xun You also hurriedly expressed his position.

Several people thought that Chu Feng had instead let himself fall into a passive situation, which was really an unfavorable situation, so it was better to simply pretend not to know, fight with Yuan Shao, and return to the army quickly when the time came.

"So what do you think should be done?" Cao Cao frowned gloomily, but he heard that Chu Feng had moved to the new city and perfectly replaced the coins.

In other words, beating Chu Feng became miserable.

Moreover, at such a chaotic moment of currency in the late Han Dynasty, he completed the currency change, which is incredible, although Chu Feng only has one state, he can threaten that he thinks that he is no worse than Yuan Shao.

Hearing this, several people looked at each other in unison,

"Go all out to prepare for Yuan Shao, Chu Feng can send a general to garrison here, as for peace talks, it must not be, this will only reduce the status of our army."

Xun Yu said.

"We second!" All the ministers said in unison.

"Who's the right guy?" Cao Cao frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Any of the four generals Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Ban can take on this great responsibility. And this battle is a defense, General Yu Ban has a calm heart and the style of a general, and he can be adjusted to General Ban to defend the Yangzhou defense line. ”

Xun Yu suggested directly.

In his opinion, the main thing is to keep Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren is facing the enemy head-on, and there is no room for loss on the front, you must know that Yan Liangwen and Chou under Yuan Shao are all fierce generals in the world!

"It's okay, then transfer to the forbidden rate of eight thousand, and garrison Ruyin must guard the movement of the Chu army." Cao Cao also recognizes that Yu Ban can be based on qualifications or ability.

As for Sun Ce, he obviously already has a demon in his heart for Chu Feng, so he still brings it to the frontal battlefield to increase his confidence, especially since this person still has Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other fierce generals under his command.

"The lord is wise!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"My lord, Jingzhou is brave and willing to lead 5,000 troops to defend Yecheng to prevent Jingzhou from attacking the rear of our army." Cheng Yu took the initiative to ask Ying at this moment.

"With you guarding Yecheng, I will be relieved." Cao Cao nodded, very approving.

"Then shrink the defensive line, lay out Baima and Yanjin for a while, sit and wait for Yuan Shao to go south, and give him a blow to the head!" Cao Cao was high-spirited and full of confidence.

"Okay, the grain, grass, ordnance, etc. have been arranged in advance, and Yuan Shao must be defeated in one fell swoop in this battle, so as to dominate the world and become an emperor and a hegemon!"

Cao Cao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the sound shook the entire general's mansion, which also made the hearts of all the ministers tremble.

————

Four years of Jian'an, summer, April!

Hefei, busy with traffic, constant exchanges.

After three months of rapid development, Hefei has added excitement and economic strength to the previous grandeur, and many streets in Hefei are overcrowded at the moment.

There are all kinds of businesses, and the economy is not good.

The main reason for this is that the money in the hands of ordinary people has begun to increase, and the stability of the coins has made transactions more and more profitable.

Outside the city, there are countless official roads leading to Hefei, which are narrow enough for four carriages to travel at the same time, and wide enough for eight carriages to travel at the same time.

Magnificent, magnificent, yearning for strength.

Of course, on the basis of the stability of the coin, there is also the output of goods, and the goods determine the stability of the economy to some extent, so that Chu Feng withdrew from all kinds of goods in the stable market.

Among them, people's daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cloth, livestock and fish, etc., the economy is ultimately to improve life, and the premise is that agriculture must be guaranteed.

And the businessmen from other places are in an endless stream, and when they come to Hefei, they are also frightened by this super-large city, and some have reached cooperation.

Inside the city, the general's office.

Chu Feng looked at the Chinese book in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so bold, he even omitted to ask for peace and directly sent people to garrison?

With only 8,000 soldiers and horses, he really doesn't care about it, but he is very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's approach, so he must make him pay some price!

"Lord, it seems that the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is imminent, what should our army do?" Lu Su frowned and said in a deep voice.

According to Chu Feng's requirements, Hefei is all preparing for battle, from the beginning of winter to now, half a year has passed, Chu Feng is really patient to do it.

"Wait for Yuan Shao to worship heaven and earth, and at that time, send troops to Xuzhou to respond to Yuan Shao, I will go to see how much he Cao Cao dares to ignore me."

Chu Feng snorted coldly, and his words were not good.

Now the number of troops under his command has reached the scale of 80,000, although the vast majority of them are new recruits, but this is definitely not to be slaughtered.

What's more, during this period, three more warships were launched, two of which have been equipped and reused, and one of them can gallop across the rivers and seas this month, and each of them symbolizes the strength of the navy.

Named Lujiang ship, Danyang ship, and Wujun ship respectively, as for the ordinary commercial ships, the orders have increased tenfold compared with previous years, all of which are ready to be used for business.

A small part is ready for fishing!

"Directly send troops?" Lu Su was surprised.

"It's never too late to wait until the right thing is given, after all, this war can't be ended quickly, and the longer it drags on, the better for us."

"You know, we have to aim for Jingzhou!"

When Chu Feng said this, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, revealing a sinister smile.

"Oh yes, the goods in domestic demand still need to be further improved, and how is the progress of the craftsmen you are searching for?" Chu Feng put down the paperwork and asked.

"It's all progressing!" Lu Su replied.

"Well, what's the layout in Jingzhou? Two months have passed, so everything should be in order, right? Chu Feng picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip.

"Everything is arranged, and when the time comes, they will purchase grain in the whole territory of Jingzhou in various capacities, so as to proceed according to our plan!" Lu Su replied solemnly.

"Now that the arrangements are in place, let's let this war without gunpowder start to burn from Jingzhou!"
