He wanted to raise troops to attack Sun Ce first, and his subordinate Yang Da General, that is, Yang Hong, always felt that Yuan Shu had too many enemies but had an ominous premonition, so he strongly persuaded Yuan Shu, and other generals also dissuaded him, and Yuan Shu eliminated the anger of the thunder and recuperated in Runan.

Although Yuan Shu suffered this defeat and frustrated his spirit, he did not hurt the fundamentals, and Runan still had a lot of soldiers and a lot of food. This is not because Yuan Shu managed it well. Outsiders see it because it occupies the geographical advantage, thinking that the land of Huainan is already full of wealth, Yuan Shu has sufficient grain and grass, and the grain and grass are sufficient, and it is not a problem for people and horses.

Therefore, although Yuan Shu was defeated, there was no shortage of soldiers' food, the only thing lacking was people, and there was a lack of generals, which can only be blamed on Yuan Shu's character. This person has a bad temperament, jealousy and jealousy, thinking that Sun Jian was his subordinate back then, but he was worried that Sun Jian would fight for merit and refused to give food and grass, which can be seen, how can a person of insight be with such a person.

Sun Ce offended Yuan Shu since then, and with his understanding of Yuan Shu's character and military strength, it was expected that he would not give up, and at the same time sent a letter to Runan, he sent troops to defend the Jiangkou to prevent Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses from attacking.

did not show that Yuan Shu and Sun Ce secretly disagreed, but said that in Cao Ying, some people could see that Yuan Shu's limit was coming.

On this day, Xun Yu suddenly came to see Cao Cao and said:

"I see that Yuan's martial arts are about to run out, and he will die in less than two years, so he can quickly take this rich land."

Cao Cao nodded slowly when he heard this, but said again:

"Although Yuan Shu is newly defeated, his soldiers are well fed, and my foothold is not stable, so it is really difficult to deal with."

Xun Yu laughed loudly:

"My lord, I have a plan to figure it out."

Cao Cao sat up straight when he heard this:

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xun Yu stood up and said:

"In the past, the princes of the Eighteen Roads jointly punished Dong Zhuo, but now it should be on Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao is so shrewd, hearing Xun Yu say this, he knows what he means, oh and said:

"But what are the ways?"

Xun Yu said:

"Yuan Shu once got Sun Ce's jade seal to borrow Sun Ce, and now Sun Ce has asked for it several times, but Yuan Shu has not returned it, this thing is Sun Jian's relic, Sun Ce will not bear it, this is all the way; Recently, Yuan Shu attacked Lu Bu again, wanting to win Xuzhou, and committed the power of Lu Bu, which is the second way; Liu Bei already had a gap with Yuan Shu, although his subordinates had no soldiers and horses, but there were a number of good generals, which could be three-way; Now, the lord can ask for the holy decree and raise an army to defeat Yuan Shu, and Huainan can be in his pocket. ”

After listening to Xun Yu's analysis, Cao Cao clapped his hands and said that Xun Yu was good at observing the trends of various roads, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles, and he could see through the relationships between all walks of life.

Now Yuan Shu has many enemies, and in vain professes to be the emperor, if Yuan Shu, will be a hundred responses, it is the season, if you miss this opportunity, then Huainan may not belong to Cao Cao, think that Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zhan's head to break the bloodstream, see if it will break Gongsun Zhan, when the time is free, it will be a long and short with Cao Cao, not to mention that it is originally surnamed Yuan, and then the name of Runan belongs to whom, naturally two said.

Sun Ce had long hated Yuan Shu, not to mention that the matter of the jade seal was related to life, Wu Guotai warned Sun Ce to get back the jade seal, although Sun Ce did not dare to believe it, but the jade seal was obtained by his father Sun Jian at the risk of death, and it was reasonable to take it back, so he wanted to raise troops to fight against Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao has masters under him, and Sun Ce's men are also good at it, and some people can see it through.

However, it was said that after Zhang Zhao heard that Sun Ce received Cao Cao's letter, he wanted to recruit Yuan Shu, so he hurriedly admonished and persuaded him:

"Your lord, no! Although Yuan Shu was newly defeated, it had accumulated for a long time in Runan, and it should not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Zhao is a great Confucian, a well-known messenger of peace, in his eyes, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, the important thing is that the world is peaceful. It is precisely because of this thought that Zhang Zhao later had a series of betrayal behaviors.

Zhang Zhao said again:

"If you wait for Cao Cao's southern expedition, our army will respond to it, in case of loss, there will be a response, the general should not forget the danger of Liu Bei the day before yesterday."

Sun Ce remembered the fate of Liu Bei Fengzhao begging Yuan to have nowhere to settle the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and said:

"Fortunately, Mr. reminded me!"

So he wrote a book to express this meaning hastily.

However, he said that Cao Cao received the letter, and Sun Ce was the follow-up, so he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately repaired Lu Bu and Liu Bei, both of whom also had this intention.

Cao Cao had the intention of raising troops, so Cao Ren guarded the capital, raised troops to recruit Yuan Shu, raised 170,000 infantry, and raised troops in Huainan. The three armies stretched for hundreds of miles from Xudu, to the border of Yuzhou, to see a mark of men and horses in front, the leader was Liu Bei, it turned out that Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao was in person, personally led troops to greet, the two sides met each other, Liu Bei said:

"It's just right that the prime minister is here, and I have something for the prime minister."

With a wave of his hand, his sergeant presented two boxes, but when he opened the boxes, there were two human heads, Cao Cao frowned and said:

"Whose head is this?"

Liu Bei said:

"This is the head of Han Xian and Yang Feng."

Cao Cao was shocked, Yang Feng and Han Xian are all fierce generals, if they are used for themselves, they will be like tigers with wings, and these two generals have already intended to surrender, and they are unhappy at the moment, and their faces sank and said:

"Why did you kill it?"

Liu Bei Zhengse said:

"Lu Bu ordered these two generals to live in Yidu, Langya County, unexpectedly, these two thieves did not change, arson and plundered the people, but became a scourge, so a banquet was set up to deceive the two, let Guan Zhang's second brother kill, and surrender to all of them, so I came to ask for guilt!"

Although Cao Cao was displeased, what Liu Bei said was also reasonable, not to mention what kind of person Cao Cao was, Han Xian and Yang Feng were dead, and it was a plan to use people right now, how could they grudge with Liu Bei because of the dead, and said with a rhetorical smile:

"What crime do you have for the country to get rid of this great harm and make such a great contribution?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly thanked Cao Cao, and was secretly happy in his heart. Liu Bei originally did not have many soldiers and horses, and he was worried that he had no soldiers under him, but Lu Bu sent these two people to Yidu and Langya, which was exactly what Liu Bei wanted. So a banquet was set up to invite the two to the banquet, Han Xian and Yang Feng had just arrived, so they naturally did not dare to refuse, and were invited to the banquet at the moment.

Liu Bei secretly probed the two of them during the banquet to see if these two people had the heart to follow him, who knew that these two people not only did not bird themselves, but also indicated that they wanted to follow Lu Bu, which is quite a bit of a fox and a fake tiger, what kind of person Liu Bei is, not to mention that he already has a grudge against Lu Bu, if these two people are obtained by Lu Bu, Lu Bu has two new tiger generals, and he is now a major general who is short of soldiers, if he makes Lu Bu bigger, how can he have a chance to take revenge? gave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a look at the moment, and the two generals had already understood, so they got up and strangled the two generals.

Although Han Xian and Yang Feng are brave, they are far behind Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so how can there be room for struggle? After a moment, his breath was silent, and his soul was broken. Liu Bei got the two-person soldier talisman, and he got the two-person soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao led the army to the border of Xuzhou, and was greeted by Lu Bu, Cao Cao said good words to appease Lu Bu, and said that the saint had named him the left general, and promised Lu Buqi to return to Xuzhou when the capital was sealed.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't have great ambitions, this was due to the number of days, he just wanted to be able to keep the Han Dynasty for another 400 years to become a god general, and he could lead the general's order, and there was no other way. Lu Bu thanked Cao Cao at the moment.

So, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei led the army to Huainan, and at the moment Cao Jun was in the center, Lü Bu's army was on the left, Liu Bei's army was on the right, and Xiahou Tang and Yu Ban were the vanguard.

Yuan Shu was left in Runan at that time was Qiao Rui, and Yuan Shu was rigid and self-serving when he was called the emperor, how could he listen to the words of others?

At that moment, Yuan Shu ordered Qiao Rui to be the vanguard and led an army of 50,000 to meet the battle. In front of the two armies, Xiahoudun and Qiao Rui had a bloody battle, these two people, each with their own merits, but after all, Xiahoudun has a profound practice, Qiao Rui is his opponent, after fighting Shihe, he felt that he was out of reach, and was killed by Xiahoudun sweating, and only hoped that Yuan Shu would mingle as soon as possible.

Yuan Shu is supervising the Chinese army, raising his eyes to look at the two generals in front of the battle, the rolling dust and sand that he is looking at roll up the old high, but the situation inside is not real, suddenly hearing the report, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei four soldiers came, Yuan Shu was shocked, did not dare to fight, hurriedly beat the drum and beat the gold, and the troops withdrew from Huainan.

Yuan Shu summoned the generals to sit in the military tent to discuss matters, and said bitterly:

"The thieves are strong, can the generals have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

The tent generals all had no good plan, and they were all silent, and for a long time, Yang Hong offered a plan:

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao came from afar, the soldiers will not bring much food, in recent years, Shouchun and other places have been flooded and drought for many years, everyone is short of food, Cao Cao will not be able to collect food, if you leave the army to stick to Runan, the strong wall is clear, keep a month, Cao Cao will naturally retreat when the food is exhausted. At present, the thief soldiers are in full swing and cannot be defeated, so Your Majesty might as well cross the Huaishui first and avoid its sharpness for the time being. ”

Yuan Shu thought for a moment when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:

"That's all there is to it."
