At the same time, in Puyang City, Dongjun, Cao Cao received letters from Yuan Shao and Wei Xuan at the same time, in which Wei Xuan told how Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu to agitate Yu Fuluo to the south, and how he ambushed on all sides to defeat and annihilate Yu Fuluo. Later, he talked about the boiling grievances of the people in Hanoi, and the seven Hao clans sent representatives to Luoyang to petition, asking him to send troops to suppress the bandits. Then, when he heard that the prince had died, he had to send a general to Hanoi again to suppress the thieves.

Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry about this, he united with the clansmen of Hu Muban to calculate that Wang Kuang was a top secret, and he also thought that taking advantage of the chaos in Hanoi, Yuan Shao had no time to cross the river and go west, but he was preempted by Wei Xuan everywhere. However, Cao Cao was not jealous of Wei Xuan, after all, Wei Xuan was the captain of Si Li, even if Wei Xuan did not take Hanoi, Yuan Shao heard that Wang Kuang was dead, and he had to send someone to occupy it, and his Dongjun and Hanoi were blocked by Wei Jun and Chen Liu across the yellow and black, and it was difficult to take care of it, and he definitely couldn't directly turn his face with Yuan Shao like Wei Xuan.

As for Wei Xuan's text, Cao Cao just smiled, and the princes who were able to succeed in these years were embarrassed. Success or defeat is the truth. Although Cao Cao agreed with Wei Xuan's evaluation of Yuan Shao, it did not mean that Cao Cao would turn his back on Yuan Shao.

But???????????????? Yuan Shao's letter made Cao Cao embarrassed, knowing that he and Wei Xuan's hypocrisy was not bad, and since the cavalry crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Wei Xuan's relationship had become closer, but Yuan Shao still used his old identity to order him Cao Cao to lead troops to Wei County to help in the war.

The two princes of Yu Gong were fighting, and Wei Xuan had just defeated Dong Zhuo not long ago, and successfully defeated the Southern Xiongnu Yufu Luo Department, and Yuan Shao attacked him at this moment.

Yu private Cao Cao was defeated in the sour date, and once asked Yuan Shao to borrow troops, but Yuan Shao sent Chun Yuqiong to accompany him, although it was better than Wang Kuang, but it was equivalent to a soldier who had not borrowed, on the contrary, Wei Xuan immediately wanted Cao Cao to go to Luoyang to discuss the matter of continuing to march into Chang'an, and after the Eighteenth Route Coalition Army dispersed, Wei Xuan praised him as the Taishou of Dongjun, so that he had a place to live.

Now Yuan Shao is playing the emotional card with Cao Cao, and it is really embarrassing to want him to send troops to help. Just when Cao Cao was in a dilemma, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Jibei sent a letter at the same time inviting him to send troops to clear the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied to Yuan Shao, saying that Liu Yanzhou and Bao Yuncheng had invited him to send troops before, and he had already agreed, so it was difficult to regret it, and he could be regarded as a successful time difference. At the same time, he also said that the original brother entered Jizhou, the sea was shaken, and the world was attached, and if he could personally conquer, Hanoi would definitely be attached.

Cao Cao's refusal to send troops was expected by Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao's personal expedition reminded him that he had just entered Jizhou, and that he had never been a noblewoman in the hearts of the people, and if he could defeat the invincible Wei Xuan in a battle to seize Hanoi, the wealthy families of Jizhou would definitely come to vote.

Yuan Shao succeeded Han Fu as the pastor of Jizhou, so Chun Yuqiong's army set off from Gaoyi. It was necessary to go south through the Zhao State to Wei County, and then attack west to attack Hanoi. Because of the existence of Jinyiwei, Wei Xuan got the news as soon as possible, so when Wei Xuan led Tai Shici and Zhao Yun and others to Huai County, Chun Yuqiong's forward Yan Liang did not arrive in Wei County. Give Wei Xuan plenty of time to set up his defenses.

However, when the military meeting was held, the Weixuan group was to greet Yuan Shao head-on, and there was a disagreement about whether to not expose its strength and drag Yuan Shao.

The military advisor has the most military intelligence except for Wei Xuan, so basically this kind of military discussion He took the lead in introducing the current battlefield environment of the enemy and us, and then threw bricks and bricks.

"My lord, my colleagues, I am loyal to Yuan Benchu Although he sent 30,000 troops, and then decided to conquer in person, Jizhou was newly attached, and the people's hearts were not stable, and Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan were eyeing each other. This time, he will come to seek a quick victory. Zhong thought that he could choose a county town on the border of the two counties to garrison, with the armor and divine arm bow equipped by our army's infantry, 30,000 people were to besiege a city on all sides, as long as the grain and grass were enough, there was no problem in insisting on the month, and the lord could spread the news that Yuan Benchu's army was dragged on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent people to the north to say that Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zan were unstable on both sides of Jizhou after a long battle, and Yuan Benchu would definitely retreat by himself, so that our army only needed to consume a little arrows and grain and grass. ”

Tai Shi Ci stood up a little unconvinced, arched his hand towards Xi Zhicai and said: "Military Division, the turtle defense is too long, Yuan Shaozhi, Yi Ci thinks it is better to set up a formation to duel with him, our army is now more than 20,000 men and horses in the four divisions, and he has 30,000 rabble. ”

Tai Shi Ci now has 3,000 Modao battalions and 1,500 divine arm bows, which is the most lethal among the infantry???????????????? of the special combat team. After experiencing the decisive battle with Dong Zhuo and Xiangling's ambush of Yu Fuluo, he was also full of confidence.

Guo Jia waited for Tai Shi Ci to stand up and said: "What Captain Tai Shi said is no problem, according to the combat strength of our army, 10,000 infantry, 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, plus 4,000 light cavalry, it is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shao's 30,000 infantry head-on. But it is precisely because Yuan Shao is 30,000 pure infantry that what Jia thought the military division said was more secure, because Captain Taishi's Mo knife was more suitable for dealing with the enemy's cavalry, and the divine arm bow was more lethal on the city wall or in the battle array, rather than a field charge.

Although Yuan Shao only sent 30,000 infantry this time, don't forget that he is the pastor of Jizhou, now that the summer harvest has begun, Jizhou has a population of millions, and when the summer harvest is over, according to the lord, Yuan Shao can directly explode 100,000 soldiers or more! Even though it's all a rabble, it will take a long time to stand there and let you kill. Although a protracted war is not good for Yuan Shao, once Yuan Shao stabilizes the north, he will definitely invade Hanoi again and contain most of the energy of our army.

Therefore, Jia thought that he could temporarily show weakness and not start an all-out war with Yuan Shao until he had to. Choose a county town on the border to garrison 10,000 soldiers, let Yuan Shao gnaw, break a few of his teeth, and naturally retreat, and the two sides don't have to fight a decisive battle or something. ”

Although Tai Shi Ci has been learning the art of war recently, when it comes to resourcefulness, he is naturally inferior to Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, he laughed and said: "Ci is just throwing bricks to attract jade, throwing bricks to attract jade." ”

Wei Xuan waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, turned to Jia Xu and asked, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Jia Xu glanced up at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, met Wei Xuan's inquiring gaze and said: "The next focus of our army is not to go east and then to the north, it is appropriate to hide part of the strength, the military division and the army said very well, but if you want to go north with peace of mind, you must also take this opportunity to deter Yuan Shao." Therefore, in addition to stationing at the border, he should also enter Wei County to attack the vanguard Yanyan Liang Department. At the same time, the lord can order the Flying Tiger Army to take advantage of the road to the party, go out of Huguan to attack Yuan Shaojun's grain and grass, and order Captain Gan to lead the naval army to land in Neihuang to attack Yecheng. ”

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia's eyes lit up when they heard this, since it was a war, what should be kept should be retained, but Jia Xu's so-called beating or deterring Yuan Shao was also very necessary.

Guo Jia took the lead in expressing his support: "My lord, everyone, what Jia thought the military lieutenant said is very true, our army should not only deter Yuan Shao, but also deter the crumbs of Hanoi, especially Tao Sheng of Luchangshan!" ”

Zhang Liao waited for Guo Jia to sit down and stood up and said: "Lord, everyone, Yan Liang is a famous general in Hebei, and his five thousand are also the elite of Jizhou. In order to deal a huge blow to the vanguard led by him, it was necessary to dispatch more than 10,000 people and a large number of cavalry. It's hard to hide your strength. Unless you choose favorable terrain to fight an ambush. ”

Zhang Liao's entanglement is actually entangled by everyone, and it is difficult to grasp the degree of wanting to hide part of his strength and defeat the enemy's vanguard happily. Now the Mo knife, the divine arm bow and the bilateral iron stirrup in Wei Xuan's army are all secret weapons for Yuan Shao, and of course if Wei Xuanfang attacks the gravity catapult.

In fact, Yuan Shao lacked understanding of Wei Xuan, he only knew that Wei Xuan defeated Dong Zhuo, his strength may be very strong, and he may have a lot of war horses, if he knew that Wei Xuan now has 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and there are 4,000???????????????? The Flying Tiger Army still has 4,000 light cavalry, and he will definitely not make such a hasty decision to attack Hanoi.

When Wei Xuan saw Zhang Liao's speech, everyone fell into a tangle, and asked with a smile: "What if you change the north to the east now?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, when they were making long-term plans, they didn't expect Yu Fuluo to be so obedient to send food to Xiangling, and they didn't expect Wang Kuang to die suddenly, which caused Wei Xuan's strength to expand rapidly. But there is a problem with the land of the four counties of Weixuan, that is, the population is too small, and the total population of the four counties together is not much more than that of Nanyang or Runan.

】

The reason why the previous plan to go north was to consider that Dong Zhuo would be temporarily dormant after the defeat, and Yuan Shao and Han Fu's struggle for Jizhou would continue for a period of time, and the diagnosis time would be used to purge the Southern Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou, with a focus on the Yufu Luo Department.

Although Yuan Shao has not fully mastered Jizhou, the population of Jizhou is two or three million more than the population controlled by Wei Xuan today, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, it has been a bumper harvest year after year.

It is relatively easy to defeat Yuan Shao's 30,000 people, but if Yuan Shao loses money, the two sides will definitely fall into a stalemate, and Wei Xuan may even be dragged down.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Wei Xuan meaningfully and said: "My lord, Yuan Benchu's office was able to enter Jizhou so quickly because Han Fu was a protégé of the Yuan family in Runan, and Koyi rebelled, Gongsun Zhan supported Yuan Benchu to threaten Han Fu, and he would give up Jizhou under triple pressure." Although the whole Jizhou has changed hands, there has never been a major war, there is abundant grain and grass, and there are many civil ministers and military generals in Jizhou, so it is definitely no problem to recruit tens of thousands of troops within ten days.

In addition, once our army advances eastward, the battle line is too long, there is Dong Zhuo in the west, and Yuan Shu in the south, although these two people will not covet Henan, Yingchuan and other places for the time being, once our army and Yuan Benchu are in a stalemate, these two people will definitely send troops to attack and disturb. One of the cities of Henan and Yingchuan, the deployment of our army is about to be completely disrupted.

Moreover, now that our army occupies Hedong and Hanoi, Shangdang is also an ally of our army, and the Southern Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou will be vigilant against our army, and will even be easily instigated by others because of the Yuvro incident and increase the frequency and intensity of southward attacks. ”
