Chapter 179 Xu You, aren't you a comrade in the war? [Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass]
Feng Ji's plan is very vicious.
borrowed Gongsun Zhan's hand to suppress Han Fu.
Take advantage of General Baima's eagerness to obtain Jizhou's ambitions, and in turn become a card in his hand, and then force Han Fu, who is the weakest in this pool of troubled waters.
If the strategy succeeds.
Yuan Shao was able to get the whole of Jizhou without blood.
And Gongsun Zhan, who was used by him as a gunman, not only worked hard and mobilized the army to the south, but in the end he didn't catch anything, but made a wedding dress for others.
Disgusted opponent, fulfilled himself.
How is this meter not yin?
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
I couldn't help but stroking my hands and laughing.
"It is worthy of the Yuan Tu, if it is really splendid in the chest, there is a good plan in the belly, if this plan is feasible, Jizhou can be determined!"
"Not only did I get Jizhou, but Gongsun Bogui's plan also failed, which can be described as a two-pronged solution!"
Feng Ji stroked his beard a little proudly.
Obviously, he was quite satisfied with the plan he had offered, and decided that there was a lot to be done.
It's just that Yuan Shao was excited for a while.
But it suddenly occurred to me that something was wrong.
He pointed to the north, and then said with a little apprehension.
"If it is done, Jizhou will be in my hands, but Gongsun Chan will be annoyed and angry when he is teased by me, how can he rest with me?"
"With the prestige of Gongsun Bogui Youzhou Iron Cavalry, if you want to fight me in a big battle, with the strength in my hands, even if you can win the battle, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory!"
This is a very real problem.
So much so that it was difficult to answer for a while.
And see this.
Xu You, who had been silent, smiled secretly.
He's a bit of an arrogant man.
Therefore, he didn't say a word before, and he couldn't say anything better than Feng Yuan Tu, which made him quite uncomfortable.
Now I've finally found an opportunity.
How can you let the surname Feng's beauty prevail?
……
He dusted off his clothes.
Then take the same step forward.
He clasped his fist at Yuan Shao and saluted.
"Fu Jun, there is a way down there, which is enough to resist Gongsun Zhan's elite Youzhou Iron Cavalry."
Yuan Shao suddenly became interested.
There was a gleam in his eyes.
couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked urgently: "What is the good policy, Ziyuan will say it quickly!" ”
Xu Yu took two steps forward.
came to Yuan Shao's desk.
He pointed to the piece of information on his desk, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Fujun, since the Cao family in the south also has the power to fight, and this Cao Zixuan is also a famous general in the world, then why don't we repair a book and introduce the Cao family to the chessboard of Jizhou?"
"They are all armies that can fight well, so let the Cao family's army fight against the Youzhou Iron Cavalry in the north, let them fight against each other, and we will reap the benefits."
"Isn't that wonderful?"
The voice fell.
Yuan Shao did not show a very excited reaction.
On the contrary, I was a little confused.
The brow furrowed slightly.
By asking with a puzzled voice: "The Cao family is staying well in Yanzhou, there is no need to go north to Jizhou to deal with such a strong enemy as the Gongsun family, right?" ”
"What's more, Cao Mengde is not a stupid person, if I act like this, how can he not see that I am killing people with a knife, how can he be willing to be used by me."
Yuan Shao felt that this was a stupid trick.
It's a bit like treating Cao Cao as a second fool.
At present, the Cao family is still the same as himself, he only owns one county, and he doesn't even control Yanzhou.
How could it be that because of his own invitation, he led the elite troops north to gnaw the hard bone of Gongsun Zhan?
Unless Cao Cao's head is kicked by a donkey.
Otherwise, you can't do this kind of thing.
……
Xu Youneng came up with such a plan.
It shows that he is not casually sloppy.
Therefore, after Yuan Shao refuted, Xu You immediately explained: "If it is empty words, Cao Mengde will naturally not lead his troops north, but what if it is profitable?" ”
"After the prince of the government takes Jizhou and becomes the pastor of Jizhou, our army has such a vast land, and even more so a large amount of grain, grass and money, how can these things be placed in the treasury and make them rot?"
"It is completely possible to promise Cao Mengde heavy benefits, promising him a lot of grain, grass and money, if he can help our army fight Gongsun Zhan, or even defeat Gongsun Zhan."
"Then you can come forward to help him take Yanzhou, with such huge interests in front of him, can Cao Mengde not be moved?"
Yuan Shao was silent.
He began to think about the feasibility of Xu You's words, weighing the pros and cons.
First of all, one thing can be clear.
That is, if he and Cao Cao join forces to defeat Gongsun Chan and eliminate this huge scourge in the north of Jizhou, then no matter how you think about it, it will be worth it.
No matter how much food and grass you pay, you will earn it.
Even to help Cao Cao take the entire Yanzhou, this is not much difficulty in Yuan Shao's opinion, after all, there are no particularly strong forces in Yanzhou.
As long as you can turn Gongsun Zhan.
Then it's all worth it.
And can the army that introduced the Cao family play a role in this battle and clear the obstacles for itself?
Yuan Shao couldn't help but pick up the information on the table and read it carefully from beginning to end again.
After carefully pondering some of the specific data depicted above, as well as the description of the tactics used to march the troops, I was secretly sure in my heart.
Relying on the power of the Cao family alone, if you go to fight with Gongsun Zhan, I'm afraid it won't work.
But if you add his Yuan Shao's help......
The two of them work together.
Can the White Horse General still gallop around?
It must be hard!
……
pondered for a while.
Yuan Shao stood up suddenly.
Walked quickly to Xu Yu and Feng Ji, raised a finger, and whispered to the two.
"It's not impossible to introduce the Cao family's forces into Jizhou, but how to ensure that after defeating Gongsun Zhan, Cao Mengde will retreat with peace of mind?"
"Again, owning the entire land of Jizhou is only the first step for me Yuan Shao, not ending here, one day Cao Mengde, who owns the entire land of Yanzhou, will also become my enemy and become my stumbling block."
"Let me promise heavy profits, and even control Yanzhou for him, won't I become a capital enemy and set up a stumbling block for myself in the future?"
Yuan Shao's vision is very long-term.
Even in his heart, he regarded Cao Cao as an imaginary enemy, which is not an ordinary far.
However, Xu Yu listened.
It's just a laugh.
Dismissive.
"The gentleman of the mansion is serious!"
"With the destruction of Yanzhou that has been damaged by military disasters, how can it compare with Jizhou, which is rich in land and resources, and is still intact?"
"With Cao Mengde's background, how can you compare to your fourth and third dukes, the concubine of the Yuan family?"
"Even if this Cao Zixu has the posture of a famous general, with his own strength, how can he defeat the fierce generals under your command, with countless elite soldiers?"
……
Speaking of which.
Xu Yu paused slightly.
Then he waved his hand.
Incomparably heroic: "With these three inferiors, what scruples does the prince have, he can boldly and reassure Cao Cao and introduce him to Jizhou!" ”
If Cao Ang was there.
Listen to Xu Yu's words.
I'm afraid I can't help but stand up and applaud him.
That's a great thing to say, isn't it?
Xu Ziyuan is a loyal person at a glance!
Is this not our own people?
Right!
Just like I just said, fool a little more, and degrade our old Cao family as low as possible, and raise his old Yuan family as high as possible.
The more so.
The more it can provide a lot of time for the steady development of the Cao family, quietly accumulate strength, and provide a lot of time.
Wait until Yuan Shao reacts.
The Cao family has become a trend.
Xu Yu, Xu Yu.
If you hadn't been hacked to death by Xu Chu in the future, then our Cao Ang would have to give you a big official, after all, you have paid a lot for the foundation of the Cao family.
……
What will happen in the future?
No one knows that.
But at least at the moment, Yuan Shao has been moved by Xu You's words, and his last concern has also been beaten into powder by Xu You's three inferiors.
Although Yuan Shao is not as arrogant as Yuan Shu.
But he is also quite proud.
He will not look down on Cao Cao.
But he didn't secretly think that Cao Cao would be more powerful than himself.
That's why Xu Yu said so.
He immediately felt that it was true.
immediately made up his mind, and gave up his hands to Xu Yu and Feng Ji at the same time, and said solemnly.
"Then act on it!"
"Lead Gongsun Chan south, and then threaten Han Fu with this matter, and wait until he takes over Jizhou, and then ask Cao Cao to lead his troops north, and even Cao Gong to resist Gongsun Zhan!"
Both of them returned the salute.
"Just as the prince said!"
A whale swallowing Jizhou, anti-guest-oriented, and even borrowing a knife to kill people, the strategy of leading the water to the east was discussed by several people in this small hall.
It's just that I don't know if Yuan Shao's plan that he thinks is seamless can still succeed after Cao Ang's variable?
…………
For many things that happened in Bohai County.
Cao Ang, who was far away on the way back, didn't know.
At this moment, he had left from the three northern counties, leading Zhang Liao, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals, as well as more than 11,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters.
Besides.
There were also more than 50,000 troops in total.
The reason why the number of prisoners has increased again is because the Yuncheng guarded by Zhang Liao also harvested nearly 10,000 people.
Taken together, it can be regarded as packing most of the Yellow Turban Army troops coming from the southwest.
Now I think back to the situation of the past few days.
And the great takeaway from all this time.
Cao Ang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
After defeating Zhang Rao's troops, who were attacking Xiaqiu County, Cao Ang led his troops to strictly guard the captives who surrendered, keeping an eye on them day and night.
In the early morning of the third day.
Xiahou Yuan led 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters and rushed to Liqiu County, where he joined forces with Cao Ang, and Cao's army finally approached 10,000 people.
And so it goes.
It can be regarded as completely suppressing the surrender troops who have begun to become a little restless.
And after some deterrence.
Cao Ang entrusted many affairs to Xiahou Yuan, and he took thousands of men and horses to support Zhang Liao in Yuncheng.
After all, according to the general He Luo, when passing through Yuncheng, most of the Yellow Turban Army also divided a force of more than 10,000 men and horses to attack.
But Zhang Liao only had 3,000 people.
If Cao Ang didn't lead his troops to support, then when Zhang Liao solved the Yuncheng crisis, I am afraid that he would not know that the Year of the Monkey would be the month of the horse, so he had this trip.
However, the support process was quite smooth.
At this stage, Zhang Liao's commanding ability has not yet reached its full potential, but it has already shown great potential.
led 3,000 people, facing an enemy army several times his own, stunned and impenetrable, with a sound and impressive.
If Cao Ang had given him a cavalry.
He was afraid that he would be able to take the soldiers out of the city to go out for a walk.
It is in such a situation.
Cao Ang sent a message with a golden eagle to inform Zhang Liao in the city, and the two of them joined forces inside and outside, and fought a flanking siege battle against the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves.
A well-deserved victory.
Even compared to the first battle in Liqiu County, more than 10,000 people ran away, except for those who had died in the siege, almost all the rest surrendered.
Wait until the parties meet.
There is such a big mess now.
…………
Just as Cao Ang's thoughts were flying.
Xiahou Yuan rode his horse to his side from behind, and then arched his hand towards him, and said in a rather worried tone.
"General, isn't it too slow to march like this, at this speed, I'm afraid I will have to walk for more than ten days before we can reach Dingtao."
Xiahou Yuan admires Cao Ang very much now.
Originally, he directly called Cao Angbiao, but now he has changed his name to the general in the army.
It was really a battle in Liqiu County, and Cao Ang fought too beautifully, whether it was battle damage or gain, it was enough to make people jaw-dropping.
At least when Xiahou Yuan arrived with his troops.
He was taken aback by what he saw.
I thought that I would lead my troops over to save the scene, and I was ready to fight hard, and I was ready to solve the crisis in Liqiu County no matter what.
I didn't know until the results came.
I asked him to come and clean up the mess!
His good nephew had already eliminated all the tens of thousands of enemy troops in three raids and five by two, and invited his uncle to come over, just to help take care of the prisoners, without him having to use a knife or a shot.
This is a bit outrageous.
It can be regarded as making Xiahou Yuan completely convinced.
Coupled with Cao Ang's status here, it is natural for him to call him a "general", and naturally there is no psychological burden.
……
Listening to Xiahou Yuan's concerns.
Cao Ang sat up straight, sat on horseback, and glanced roughly from front to back.
This is a huge team that can not be seen at a glance, it can be described as vast, but nearly ninety percent of the people are composed of yellow-skinned and weak homeless people, so the speed of movement can be called turtle speed, as if they are just moving forward little by little.
With such a turtle speed, it is not surprising that Yuan Shao, who was far away in Bohai County, received the battle report of Cao Ang's victory over the Yellow Turban Thieves, but he himself failed to reach his home.
And the reason why the march is so slow.
In addition to the large number of troops, the extreme lack of discipline, and the need for Cao's army to manage a large number of prisoners with very few men, these are all kinds of reasons.
The most important thing is that the surrender of troops is too empty.
Plus mental lethargy.
The state of the body and the will is poor.
It is itself a refugee transformation.
In addition, Cao Ang also implemented a food rationing system along the way, so it can only be said that these people will not starve to death, and if they want to be full, it does not exist.
Therefore, all of them have weakness.
Naturally, the action is not much faster.
Of course.
Even so.
Cao Ang will never let them be fed.
It's not that it's about saving food, but it's that this state of weakness and weakness is best managed.
So after looking back for a while.
Cao Ang just nodded to Xiahou Yuan.
"What my uncle said is very true, but there are many last resorts at the moment, it doesn't matter if we are slow, as long as we can ensure that we can arrive at our destination safely and smoothly, even if it is slower, it is acceptable."
That's the truth.
How could Xiahou Yuan not know?
He was worried about something else.
……
"General, our army's current grain and grass are a little insufficient, although a lot of food was requisitioned before leaving, it can't withstand the food of these tens of thousands of people."
"If it continues to take more than ten days, then I am afraid that before we reach Dingtao County, our army's grain and grass will be exhausted, and I am afraid that there will be a big mess at that time!"
Xiahou Yuan's words.
Cao Ang couldn't help frowning slightly.
This is a big problem.
The supply consumption of tens of thousands of people is indeed terrifying, and generally such a huge army will have a special supply team when it goes out to fight.
Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and consume it at all.
Although Cao Ang had already cut most of the daily needs of the surrendered troops, no matter how much he reduced them, at least the rations to keep them alive could not be reduced.
Therefore, the daily consumption of grain and grass.
It's still a huge number.
With what they carried, it was not enough to support the return to Dingtao.
But after thinking about it.
Cao Ang still calmly ordered: "The speed of the march must not be raised, and the rations cannot be reduced anymore, see if there are any villages and cities along the way, spend some money, or requisition on the spot, and then replenish them later." ”
"In addition, I sent someone to deliver a war report to my father, which clearly stated that there were tens of thousands of prisoners."
"If it's not bad as expected, if you walk forward for another two or three days, you should be able to bump into Uncle Yuanrang who is transporting grain."
As soon as this statement came out.
Xiahou Yuan was a little relieved.
After clenching his fists, the horse retreated to its original position.
