Troubled times are like an all-pervasive wind.

It will blow straight into people's hearts.

Numerous princes in the world are setting out to turn their territories into war machines.

Luo Chu, who had just accepted Xiao Han's second clan, immediately got a news explosion from the Central Plains.

……

Yeongcheon-gun.

This county is named after Yingshui, the county is in Luo Xuangong, by the Xuangong brother established the old capital of Yingguo, after repair, but the location has not changed.

Yingchuan since Xunzi is located here began to prosper culturally, to the Later Han Dynasty, prosperous to the extreme, the world's high-ranking scholars, three into Yingchuan.

If there is chaos today, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who have invested heavily in Yingchuan, are all heroes for a while, and they have the posture of a peaceful world.

Since Cao Cao recaptured Yingchuan County and moved Liu Xie, who was located in Xingyang, to Xuchang, the weather of Yingchuan was even newer.

As the strongest faction under Cao Cao except for the clan, the Yingchuan faction used Xuchang as the capital to achieve their goal.

Countless soldiers dressed in Han army costumes were running, and the county was filled with an awe-inspiring and murderous atmosphere.

The two armies are in front.

On one side stands the Chinese character flag and the Cao character flag, and on the other side is the Yuan character flag.

It was Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's second army.

I only heard the sound of drums in the sky, and the soldiers all lined up to attack.

The war between Yuan Shu and Cao lasted longer than the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan.

It's just that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan belong to a big war that presses all the family background, and the intensity of the war between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao is very low.

Everyone thought it was just a battle as usual, drumming, gold, and testing each other.

The army rotated forward, sharpening the soldiers through war, turning those recruits who had never experienced it into veterans who had seen blood.

Unexpectedly, at this time of the transition between attack and defense, dozens of people in Cao Cao's army rushed out, especially the first one, the horse was extremely fast, like a whirlwind rushing into the enemy formation.

Almost instantly, it was a man on his back.

It's too late, it's fast, the horse's hooves are raised high, the knife in his hand flashes, and the head has already fallen!

Cao Jun camp.

Hearing the news coming back, Cao Cao was surprised and delighted.

"General Guan is really a god!"

Guan Yu rode his horse to attack, and with lightning speed, he killed Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao in the midst of ten thousand troops!

That's Yuan Shu's only son-in-law!

No one could have imagined that between the changes in the military formation, Guan Yu saw a gap and completed the achievement of the formation.

In the Cao army camp, Guan Yu squinted slightly and stood proudly.

"Yuan Shu's subordinates are all people who sell their heads, and I will cut them like pigs and dogs."

To him, this is just a trivial matter.

Zhang Jiao is dead, Lu Bu is still in Bingzhou, Zilong Yide is under the command of his eldest brother, who is his opponent in the world?

On Cao Cao's side, Cheng Yu, who was hidden in the shadows, glanced at Guan Yu with compassion, and there was murderous intent in the depths of his eyes.

Xun You was also expressionless, and he didn't see much joy.

They only want to take some territory from Yuan Shu, and they are not ready to fight Yuan Shu completely.

After all, there is Liu Bei on his side, and if he fights with Yuan Shu, the loss will be too great.

Liu Bei came out from Xuzhou and Taishan's army, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which are places without mountains and rivers, are easy to break.

That's more than worth the cost.

Xun You even suspected that Guan Yu had deliberately killed Yuan Yao.

It didn't have much impact on Yuan Shujun, but it also made Yuan Shu and Cao Jun endless.

What Xun Yu could think of, how could Xun Yu not think of it?

But he didn't mention this aspect at all, but said directly: "My lord."

Yuan Yao is Yuan Shu's only son-in-law and Yuan Shu's only heir, Yuan Yao died on the battlefield, wouldn't Yuan Shu be crazy about revenge?

He is a rebellious person, and you can imagine what kind of actions he will make!

Yu thought that now he should raise the army of the imperial court and fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shu between Ruying. ”

Xun You saw that his uncle directly brought the topic to the decisive battle, and his eyes were slightly dark.

But he still put away the cold look on his face, and he naturally had to make plans for this kind of thing, after all, he was Cao Cao's mastermind.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "My lord, Shang Shuling will not repeat what he said before.

Yuan Shu is unwise, today he lost his beloved son, and he will be coerced to come to Runan, and our army can arrange an ambush between the mountains and rivers to defeat Yuan Shu.

Since Yuan Shu has been defeated repeatedly, he has been cautious in fighting with our army, and now Yuan Shu is angry and raising the army, which is a good time to take Runan! ”

Cao Cao didn't even hesitate at all, and said directly: "Wen Ruo, you quickly return to Xuchang and mobilize the imperial army."

Then he sent an edict to the Pingdong general Guan Hai, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and Nanyang Taishou Zhao Hong, asking them to lead their own troops to attack Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu did not respect the emperor's orders, rebelled and rebelled, and discussed it with the whole world. ”

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself in his heart.

He stepped out of the camp, and Sergeant Cao, dressed in Han army uniforms, lined up, feeling bored again, and didn't know when he would be able to return to his eldest brother.

was in a state of sadness, and when he walked around the corner, he saw Xun Yu standing with his hands in his hands, as if he was waiting for him.

Xun Yu is this person, Guan Yu has seen how resourceful this person is these days, knowing astronomy and geography.

Especially the military strategy, which made Guan Yu feel cold all over his body, he was actually fighting with such a terrifying opponent at the beginning.

"General Guan."

"Xun Junshi."

Xun You glanced at Guan Yu, who was Xuanang, and then said slowly: "Since General Guan followed the lord, how has the lord treated General Guan?" ”

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, sharp as a sword, and he said like a golden stone in his words: "Is the lord of Xun Junshi Your Majesty?"

Since Guan Mou entered the imperial court, he has only seen His Majesty a few times, so what should he do with Guan Mou? ”

Guan Yu's words were so reasonable, he didn't seem to hear the meaning of Xun Yu's words, and he didn't care about what adverse results he would cause to himself by saying this.

A cold glint flashed in Xun You's eyes, he didn't speak again, turned sideways, and Guan Yu walked in front of him, very silent.

Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao walked out from the side and walked to Xun You's side, all three of them stood with their hands in their hands, looking at Guan Yu in the distance, always straightening their backs, as if they had never bent.

Dong Zhao said suddenly: "Guan Yu is really a god general, no wonder the lord likes him so much."

However, it is a pity that such a god general is confined to the so-called brotherly righteousness and subordinate to Liu Bei, and cannot be used by the lord. ”

Xun You's eyes were even darker, he was proficient in military strategy, and for ordinary people, he could only see Guan Yu's brave and good fight.

But he could see that Guan Yu could be used as a commander.

Cheng Yu said with a cold look in his eyes, but with a gentle smile on his face: "Divine generals are also mortals, when the sword is imminent, who can not die?"

He didn't want to submit to his lord, so he let him die in another country, just a martial artist, and he could die suddenly overnight. ”

Dong Zhao didn't think much of Cheng Yu's words, he wouldn't do that kind of thing.

Cao Cao really likes Guan Yu, if he angers Cao Cao because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

Dong Zhao's most important thing is always his own glory, wealth and ambition, and after that, it is Cao Cao's great cause.

But Cheng Yu is really ruthless, his heart is extremely black, and he is willing to do some shady things for Cao Cao.

Both of them looked at Xun You.

In Cao Cao's camp, it is still the Xun family with the highest status, and Xun Yu acts above board, and he is at odds with Cheng Yu and others.

Although Xun You also has a good reputation, he is actually a black-hearted person, and he was one of the masterminds when he killed Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City.

It's just that Xun You does things secretly and pays attention to clearing his name, so he has a completely different reputation from Cheng Dong and others.

Xun Yu pondered and said: "Guan Yu is still of great use at present, he is confined to righteousness and stoops to Liu Bei.

As long as we are not enemies of Liu Bei, we will naturally assist the lord because of kindness.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Luo Chu and Guanzhong Ma Teng Han Sui were all strong enemies, but in the future, if there was a war, Guan Yu would be the first.

Since he is called Hanchen, can he not listen to His Majesty's orders? ”

Xun Yu's words made Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao suddenly feel that this method was good, and it was the best arrangement for Guan Yu without angering the lord.

The three of them discussed here, and Guan Yu, who had left, walked to his room and sat down cross-legged, with the Qinglong Glaive standing aside.

Although it was just a short one-sentence exchange just now, Guan Yu heard an infinite killing intent from it.

Some of Cao Cao's subordinates can't see themselves anymore.

Guan Yu took off the Qinglong Glaive Knife and gently wiped the treasure knife that had just cut off Yuan Yao's head, recalling what he had seen and heard since entering Cao Ying.

His current nominal official position is Emperor Liu Xie's Praetorian Guard, but he has not met Liu Xie a few times, only from afar when he was enthroned.

Cao Cao has now promoted himself to the rank of lieutenant and added general to the south.

In the name of Emperor Liu Xie, Cao Cao promoted Yuan Shu to Jiuqing, asked him to report to Xuchang, and also asked Yuan Shu to pay money and grain taxes to the central court according to his household registration.

Yuan Shu naturally did not agree, so Cao Cao used this as an excuse to crusade against Yuan Shu, who was unwilling to enter Beijing and pay taxes on money and grain, under the emperor's order.

One by one, the observations and experiences of these days came to his mind.

Cao Cao seemed to be respectful to Liu Xie, but in fact he was in a state of strict defense.

The attitude of Cao Cao's people towards the emperor.

The attitude of those courtiers who followed Liu Xie all the way to escape.

"As Yinghou said, the ultimate goal of Yuan Cao and others is to replace the Liu family.

is named Hanchen, but he is actually a thief.

Now that I am in the land of tigers and wolves, I don't know where I will go next, and I don't know if I will be able to return to my eldest brother one day.

Although he is trapped here, the only thing he can do is to get rid of those rebel ministers who are like Yuan Shu and try to die in vain.

Then he flanked the emperor Liu Xie.

Presumably, this is also what the eldest brother wants to see.

If one day ......"

Guan Yu gently rubbed the Qinglong Knife, and slowly whispered to himself: "It's just a death." ”

……

Runan-gun.

Yuan Shu built a palace like a palace here, and in some respects it was even more luxurious than the palace.

He lived a life of extreme luxury, and there were hundreds of beauties just collected from everywhere.

After being defeated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei repeatedly, his mentality completely collapsed, and he just wanted to indulge in pleasure and indulge in wine.

When the news of Yuan Yao's death reached Yuan Shu's ears, Yuan Shu, who was drinking, was stunned.

There were more than a dozen unclothed beauties in the hall, all trembling and kneeling on the ground, revealing the curves of their beautiful bodies, the soft sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and the musicians were also trembling.

Yuan Shu, who had already lost his ambition, once again felt the ultimate anger.

He stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and his eyes were also red, I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol or anger.

He threw the wine glass in his hand straight to the ground, made a clanging metal sound, and kicked the wine jar down again, and the hall was suddenly filled with the smell of wine.

The roar echoed in the hall, "Cao Cao, do you really think that my Yuan Shu is afraid of you?"

Raise your troops!

Raise your troops!

Be sure to kill Cao Cao, kill him! ”

Yuan Shu gave an order, and the entire Yuan Shu began to recruit troops on a large scale.

Yuan Shu was furious like never before, he had no idea about the future at all, he only wanted to eliminate Cao Cao, a large number of civilians were issued weapons as soldiers, and many more civilians were conscripted as civil servants.

This level of general mobilization has the flavor of the whole people as soldiers during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the past.

Almost 200,000 people were drawn out by him, and the entire rule was basically drained by him.

Countless food reserves were taken out to supply the army, including rations for the coming year.

Regardless of this victory or defeat, the economy under Yuan Shu's rule will collapse, and countless people will have to go into exile in the coming year.

Yuan Shu's goal is very simple, that is, Cao Cao will die, and if he can't be defeated, he will be dragged to death with grain and grass.

……

In Runan County, the soldiers are long, and the news spreads everywhere.

"Yuan Shu raised his army, claiming to be 500,000 people, and attacked Yingchuan under the banner of revenge against Cao Cao.

At the same time, he sent a message to the world, saying that Cao Cao had held the emperor hostage, and that Han Chen was actually a Han thief, and called on all the princes of the world to fight Cao Cao together.

This is to fight Cao Cao to the death. ”

The princes around Yuan Shu naturally learned about the two of them, and they were secretly embarrassed that Cao Cao directly killed Yuan Shu's son.

Yuan Shu, this must be desperate.

Facing the angry Yuan Shu, Liu Biao couldn't help laughing, he wanted to respond to Cao Cao's call to discuss Yuan Shu, but was stopped by his subordinates.

The people of Jingzhou are not willing to face a desperate Yuan Shu.

Yeongcheon-gun.

Cao Cao looked at the battle report in shock, "Dare to claim to be an army of 500,000, he has sent at least more than 200,000 troops."

Is this Yuan Shu crazy?

Is he completely out of business? ”

Cao Cao didn't expect Yuan Shu to be even crazier than he imagined, and he would make such a move that didn't look like a prince at all.

How could a person like Cao Cao, who had several sons, know that a person with only one son would collapse after his son's death?

Cao Cao's ministers faced the desperate Yuan Shu, and they all had a painful face, and even Xun You, who boasted about Haikou that day, was now a little speechless.

Yuan Shu, who poured out of the nest, even if he could win, how much would his own side lose?

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

Facing Yuan Shu, who poured out of the nest, everyone on Cao Cao's side was like a great enemy.

Although everyone doesn't take Yuan Shu in their eyes, Yuan Shu's money and food soldiers are the real elite, and if he is not careful, he may really capsize in the gutter.

Guo Jia frowned and said, "Lord, the most important thing today is not to deal with Yuan Shu.

After two years of fighting with Yuan Shu, he is not the opponent of our army, even if he has a large army this time, he is just a rabble.

As long as our army does not make big mistakes, it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shu is defeated.

The most important thing is how to save the results of the battle after defeating Yuan.

That Xuzhou Liu Bei, Yangzhou Gongzi Chu, and Jingzhou Liu Biao are not easy people, so they have to be guarded against. ”

When Guo Jia's words fell, there was silence in the room, and everyone frowned and thought, but the snipe and the clam competed for the profit of the fisherman, which was like the truth.

If it's really that easy to crack, it's not a classic ploy.

Cao Cao saw that even Er Xun had not proposed a way to deal with it, and seeing that everyone had a worried look between their eyebrows, Cao Cao immediately said proudly: "Everyone."

Now that Yuan Shu is coming violently, we are already in a deep situation, what good is it to think about these things?

It's just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

The sky is clear, and the earth is vast.

We started from Chenliu County, occupied the whole of Yanzhou, and now occupy half of Yuzhou.

With a million people under his command, 100,000 with armor, how majestic the soldiers are.

Now he is facing the son-in-law of the fourth and third princes.

That used to be a noble person that we couldn't compare, but now it has the upper hand, what else?

Do you still have to hesitate here?

It should be his Yuan Shu who should be worried!

It should be those who are against the imperial army.

Honor the will of His Majesty Emperor Jian'an and crusade against those who do not respect the orders of the imperial court!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Our army will win! ”

Although Cao Cao was a little short, his voice was high in the sky, and his words fell on everyone's ears like thunder, injecting everyone with the courage to move forward.

Cao Cao sent a decree to the princes of the world, "Since ancient times, they have all obeyed the orders of the king to crusade against those rebellious ministers who are unwilling to submit.

Now that I, Cao Cao, have won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and have been able to become a lieutenant and lead the army of the Han Dynasty, I am trembling and worried that I have failed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

I was trembling, worried that I would not be able to fulfill those promises to restore the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu, he was born in a wealthy family of the fourth and third princes, and such a family has never been even in the fifth family.

Isn't this the imperial grace of the Han family?

His Majesty the current Emperor Jian'an, because of Yuan Shu's family background, is willing to give him the status of Jiuqing, and even the status of the third duke, but Yuan Shu is unwilling to accept it.

Is this because Yuan Shu is not in love with power?

Of course not!

It was because Yuan Shu had evil thoughts in his heart, he gathered troops in Runan County, deliberately opposed the imperial court, and even wanted to overthrow the Han family to achieve his unforgivable disobedience thoughts.

To this day, he has treated the people of Runan cruelly, his morals have been corrupted to the extreme, and he even used his sword soldiers to attack Xuchang.

Could a traitor like him be acting for the safety of His Majesty the Emperor?

Of course not!

If Yuan Shu enters Yingchuan and Xuchang, His Majesty the Emperor will probably have to take his life in the hands of his rebellious people.

His Majesty was furious and rebuked Yuan Shu for being like Dong Zhuo, an unprecedented rebel, and since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, no Dong Zhuo has been charged with killing the emperor.

Now Yuan Shu is also going to kill the monarch and make a rebellion, and His Majesty the Emperor is angry.

I'm Cao Cao.

The captain of the Han Dynasty, the general of the envoy to the south.

Although he was from a humble background, he knew that he was favored by the emperor in the Han family, and he was unwilling to stand under a blue sky with Yuan Shu.

Today, he led the court civil and military, respectfully accepted the order of His Majesty the Emperor, and went to conquer Yuan Shu.

Now this decree is to be distributed to all the states and counties, together with the proclamation.

Loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, I hope that you can respectfully obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor and crusade against Yuan Shu together.

Spread this will to all counties, so that the whole world will know that we are doing righteous and holy things.

Let everyone in the world know about Yuan Shu's rebellion.

That's what His Majesty the Emperor meant, Xiao Yu. ”

Cao Cao's document, which was both like a document and a will, immediately caused an uproar as soon as it was issued.

Today's Han family is dilapidated, but to say that it is useless is really to insult Cao Cao's ministers.

If Liu Xie was really useless, they would not have taken the risk to bring Liu Xie back to Yanzhou, and now he is still placed in Xuchangzhong.

For example, among the great princes today, the only ones who really do not respect the orders of the court are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

On the surface, they obeyed but in fact did not listen to Liu Bei, Luo Chu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao, Ma Teng and Han Sui.

The first two don't need to say much, even if the last four don't listen, they won't openly overturn the confrontation for the time being, which gives Cao Cao a lot of opportunities to operate.

For example, when Cao Cao dealt with those small princes, he was able to use both methods, and even because he controlled the imperial court, Cao Cao was able to seal many high-ranking officials and lords.

For example, the three dukes, nine kings and the marquis, at present, only Cao Cao can be sealed.

In today's world, the state shepherd, the Taishou, the county commander and the general can all be self-proclaimed, but I haven't heard of anyone who self-proclaimed as the three dukes, nine kings and liehous.

Especially the liehou, if anyone presents himself as a liehou, it is a big joke, enough to make him unable to raise his head for the rest of his life.

After this decree was issued, those who could influence the situation could not make a move, or they could only assist Cao Cao.

Especially Liu Bei, he must recognize the legitimacy of Liu Xie's court, but in this way, he has to fall into passivity in many things.

For example, now, Liu Bei feels that he is in a dilemma, and he doesn't know what to do at all.

The changes of the rest of the princes were not mentioned for the time being, and in order to resist the pressure of Yuan Shu's army, Cao Cao did not choose the same method as Yuan Shu.

After all, Yuan Shu didn't care about the foundation, but Cao Cao couldn't do that.

Moreover, Xun Yu and other people who are proficient in military strategy all said: "Today's world is no longer the Warring States world of hundreds of years ago, and the strategy of all people being soldiers has long been outdated.

Although there are many soldiers in Yuan Shu, most of them are just temporary recruits, and when they arrive on the battlefield, once they are defeated, it will be too late.

As long as our army breaks through its weak points with its elite, it will naturally win, so why should we recruit so many peasants? ”

In fact, if Xun Yu and others did not persuade, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to do so.

He himself was a very outstanding military strategist, and he studied various military techniques quite deeply.

Today, there are not many people who can surpass him in terms of military talent.

No matter how much hatred there is, how much ambition and hegemony there are, there is always a real chapter on the battlefield.

Yuan Shu led an army of 200,000 to the north, so many people, stretching for dozens of miles.

The army at the front had even seen Cao's army, while the army behind had just begun.

Cao Cao personally led the most elite tiger and leopard riders under his command to observe Yuan Shu's military appearance.

As a result, I was relieved when I saw it.

In his eyes, this Yuan Shu's army was quite lazy, and it was obvious that there was no super commander who could command so many troops, so there was some poor communication between the various armies and battalions.

Even camping can be noisy.

With such a military appearance, if these troops can exert strong combat effectiveness, it is impossible to believe that they will be killed.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, but thinking of what happened before, he forcibly restrained himself, and just said disdainfully: "This Yuan Highway is really incompetent, break its army!"

Zilian, Zihe! ”

Cao Chun and Cao Hong immediately rode out, Cao Chun was the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Hong was even more brave and good at fighting, and he also saved Cao Cao's life when he pursued the Xiliang army.

Cao Cao looked at his clan brother and said with a smile: "Do you dare to lead a thousand tigers and leopards to ride on that Yuan Shujun's foothold and the camp has not yet been established, and go to attack?" ”

Cao Cao currently has a total of 1,000 real tiger and leopard cavalry, and although the rest are included in the tiger and leopard cavalry, they are only reserve soldiers.

With his current territory, he simply can't afford to support so many heavy cavalry like tigers and leopards.

Cao Chun and Cao Hong glanced at each other, sparks splattered out of their eyes, and the two of them clasped their fists and said in unison: "Obey the lord." ”

After that, they rode forward, and each led five hundred tigers and leopards to ride on their horses.

In the face of the sudden attack of the two, Yuan Shujun really didn't expect Cao Cao to dare to take the initiative to attack.

Seeing that Yuan Shu's military camp was thrown into chaos after being charged by a tiger and leopard, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing anymore.

Guan Yu looked at the Yuan Shujun who collapsed in one rush, his mind was full of black lines, the eldest brother formed an alliance with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu, but the army was defeated.

Now that it looks like there is a problem with the pig teammates, there is a reason why Yuan Shu hit a Liu Biao and hit his head full of bags.

Cao Cao laughed at Yuan Shu with a smile on his face: "This Yuan Shu is really sparse and ordinary except for a good family background.

If it is with such a military appearance, in this battle, it is not only Yuan Yao who lost his life, but Yuan Shu himself. ”

The people who followed Cao Cao were a little speechless when they saw this scene, this Yuan Shujun was so unbeaten?

I really don't know where all the money and food went, and I haven't even trained a strong army?

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, a huge crossbow was revealed behind those scattered soldiers.

The giant crossbows were huge, and the tips of the crossbow arrows were still full of grooves, and the sound of squeaking came from behind the crossbows.

Just looking at it makes people feel chills, and anyone who sees them knows that these giant crossbows are extremely powerful!

Cao Cao's pupils shrank!

Not good!

Hit the plan.

Yuan Shu was in an ambush, and he could guess that Cao Cao would definitely send someone to attack the camp when the first two were not on a firm foothold.

Where did all that money go?

Now Yuan Shu told Cao Cao where all the money had gone.

Now Yuan Shu will tell everyone what the Yuan family has in the end!

The giant crossbow researched by the children of the Mo family is more powerful than all the bows and crossbows in the world today.

This is the great gift that Yuan Shu prepared for Cao Cao!
