Since Han Song was sent here.

Naturally, it can't just be for sending letters.

More also to act as a lobbyist to ensure that the Cao family's side will definitely agree to jointly send troops.

Therefore, after hearing Cao Ang's specious refusal, Han Song did not show too much emotion, but shook his head while arching his hand to Cao Ang.

"Please forgive me for being rude and blunt, what the general just said is really a lot of big fallacies!"

"Joining forces, showing a north-south trend, and jointly attacking Yuan Shu, this is by no means a matter that only my lord can benefit."

"In fact, I came here with a clear purpose to visit Meng Degong and General Cao, instead of choosing others, precisely because after driving Yuan Shu out of Nanyang, the one who gained the most benefit was Yanzhou, where my family master and the Cao family were located!"

Han Song's voice was clear.

Loud and sound.

Set the tone for the rest of the rhetoric.

After clarifying his position and attitude, he paused slightly, as if to sort out his words.

Then he continued to analyze in a calm voice: "Although Yuan Shu is now staying in Luyang County, this place is under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County, and Yuan Highway is also thinking about it, and wants to go south to attack Nanyang County. ”

"But this does not mean that his goal is only Nanyang, nor does it mean that his eyes are only staring at Nanyang and even Jingzhou."

"In fact, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, as long as there is an opportunity, Yuan Shu must be happy to intervene, this time he led his troops to the north, wanting to attack Chenliu and other counties, which is a clear example on the case."

……

What Han Song said is actually quite reasonable.

But even so.

Cao Ang did not loosen his breath.

Instead, when Cao Cao was silent, he smiled and gestured.

"Having said that, this time Yuan Shu led his troops north, but was attacked by my father, and returned with a big defeat, and fled in a hurry."

"With such a painful lesson, presumably even if Yuan Shu wants to fight Yanzhou's idea in the future, he must weigh it in advance, and he will not even dare to attack again."

"Compared with the two, I think that Yanzhou has entered the security period, and it is not as dangerous as Degao said."

can do the position of Jingzhou don't drive.

Han Song obviously didn't come by just relying on relationships.

Faced with Cao Ang's rebuttal, Han Song just smiled lightly, and then explained eloquently.

"If everyone remembers the lesson, then my Han Dynasty should be peaceful all over the world, and there will not be so many capricious and killing things in the world."

"Meng De's public soldiers are like gods, and he defeats Yuan Shu with fewer enemies and more enemies, this matter is naturally true, but if I am Yuan Highway, I will never be afraid, but I will only hold a grudge and only ask for double the return in the future."

"As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, Yanzhou has to be peaceful for a while, and it is naturally worry-free, but if you want to be peaceful for a long time, how can you be short-sighted and self-sufficient?"

……

Han Song's eloquence is not covered.

In fact, everyone knows what he said.

It's just that at the moment, the father and son of the Cao family don't let go, they just want to take care of this matter, so as to win more benefits.

After all, even if the North and the South jointly send troops.

How to come out and which part of the enemy to deal with are all very particular things.

Therefore, in the face of Han Song's generous statement.

Cao Ang still raised his hand very calmly.

"Degao, please continue!"

"Whew!"

Han Song breathed a long sigh of relief.

He is not afraid to say it, but he is afraid that he will not have to say it.

After bowing to each of them.

Han Song continued to refute what Cao Ang had said earlier, comparing the two fingers in turn.

"Driving Yuan Shu out of Nanyang can not only preserve the stability of Yanzhou, but also cut off the connection between Yuan Highway and the counties of Yuzhou."

"As long as these connections are severed, the Cao family can wave their troops south and take Yuzhou into the palm of their hands, which is another huge benefit."

"As for Yuan Shu's soldiers, haha, please forgive me for saying bluntly, just having soldiers and food, they won't fight, this is really not a strong strength, so that the courage of the father and son, the command room, can be pacified!"

……

Han Song not only guessed the Cao family's Yuzhou strategy.

is also vigorously belittling Yuan Shu, and at the same time vigorously touting Cao Cao's father and son, what kind of thoughts are in mind, this is already self-explanatory.

For such a rhetoric.

Cao Ang only straightened his sitting posture slightly.

Then his eyes narrowed, and he said with a slightly mocking smile.

"First of all, I want to correct one point, Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of the imperial court, he does not belong to anyone, our Cao family will only help to exterminate the bandits in Yuzhou at most, manage the government affairs of Yuzhou on behalf of him, and will never seize the power of a state in a grand manner."

Cao Ang first folded a layer of armor for himself.

Han Song, who heard this, scolded secretly in his heart.

What age is this, and who is it for?

However, he did not wait for a response.

Cao Ang had already continued: "If Yuan Shu is really as vulnerable as Degao said, then why do you want to go to Puyang County this time?" ”

"Liu Jingzhou is eloquent and strategic, with his own strength, he must be able to defeat, it seems that the soldiers are well prepared, but in fact, Yuan Highway is in it, right?"

Han Song was speechless for a while.

No matter how eloquent he is, it is difficult to refute such words.

What is Yuan Shu's strength?

It's all unknown until they actually fight.

Even if the Cao family defeated Yuan Shu this time, this does not prove that Yuan Shu is rubbish, after all, victory or defeat on the battlefield is determined by many factors.

Not to mention that Liu Biao didn't dare to be negligent, even if Cao Cao was allowed to lead the troops and fight Yuan Shu again, he would never dare to pat his chest and say that he was lying flat with his eyes closed.

The fourth and third dukes, the sons of Gaomen.

The army is abundant, and the grain and grass are abundant.

The most important thing is that Sun Jianbu did not participate in the war.

Before he was tortured with his own hands, no one dared to despise Yuan Shu.

……

Han Song racked his brains and thought for a while.

Open your mouth, trying to make up for what you just said.

It's just that Cao Ang didn't give him such a chance.

Instead, he tapped his finger lightly on the table in front of him, and then said meaningfully.

"Whether Yuan Shu's strength is strong or not, let's not mention this matter for the time being, compared to this, I would like to ask Degao, do you really think Yuan Shu is a fool?"

Han Song was stunned for a moment.

He blinked slightly puzzled.

"I wonder what the general means?"

The corners of Cao Ang's mouth rose slightly, and a smile was raised.

"If you are Yuan Shu, facing the attack from the north and the south, knowing that you have not been caught, do you choose to carry it to the end, or do you choose to reconcile with one of them, and then concentrate your forces to attack the other side?"

As soon as the words fell.

Han Song's complexion changed suddenly.

"Buzz!" raised his head, his eyes widened, and he stared at Cao Ang tightly.

Soon, sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He did ignore this layer before.

Thinking only about his own master and the Cao family, both sides have a grudge against Yuan Shu, and they should not reconcile easily.

But think about it now.

But there was some negligence.

There will be no eternal adversary in this world, and there will be no eternal strong alliance.

The so-called grudge is nothing more than a greater cost when reconciliation is made.

As long as it is not a common enmity, it can be solved with interests, and Yuan Shu, although it is rumored that he is arrogant and empty-eyed.

But when you are in danger, you must not be so arrogant that you have no brains, right?

And once Yuan Shu chooses to reconcile with one side and deal with the other party, then without thinking about it, Yuan Highway will definitely choose to do something to Liu Biao.

So......

Come to think of it.

The beads of sweat on Han Song's forehead had quietly dripped down.

……

It's been a long time.

Han Song bowed slightly to Cao Ang.

Then he said in a dry voice: "It is rumored in the world that General Cao is the best of the people, and he is a rare talent in my Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. ”

"In the past, I was noncommittal about this, but now, I know that the rumors are true, and I am really convinced."

"General, just say it bluntly, what kind of conditions can Yanzhou send troops, cooperate with Jingzhou to jointly attack Yuan Shu, and expel him from Nanyang County."

Han Song softened.

His previous arguments based on reason, laying out facts, and reasoning were actually for the sake of gaining the initiative.

But right now, the killer feature that Cao Ang moved out is so powerful that Han Song can't afford it.

Therefore, there is no choice but to back down.

And after hearing this.

Cao Ang didn't respond, just turned his head to look at his father Cao Cao, and raised the corners of his mouth with a slight smile, at this time, it was time for the veteran to come out.

……

And Cao Cao after receiving his son's signal.

Immediately give a smile in response.

Then he said to Han Song: "We don't actually have any requirements in Yanzhou, but the first thing is that once the war starts, I hope that you can take the initiative to take over the enemy general Sun Jian, and we will deal with the Yuan Shu headquarters." ”

The corners of Han Song's mouth twitched slightly.

Sure enough, what are you afraid of!

He guessed that Cao Cao was likely to make a fuss about Sun Jianbu's issue, but the result was unexpected.

Sun Jian, Sun Wentai.

This, like Gongsun Chan in the north, is a fierce man who has been on the battlefield for a long time and can fight well.

Far from it.

It is only said that when the Princes' Alliance crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian led the vanguard troops and successively broke Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, which is already very provable.

Beat Sun Jian and beat Yuan Shu.

It's not a challenge at all!

On the premise of occupying only a small area, Yuan Shu can still exert huge pressure on the entire Jingzhou, because of Sun Jian's assistance.

Faced with this situation, which is almost doomed to lose the army.

Han Song wanted to refuse.

But now the initiative has been lost.

If you don't agree, then this joint operation is likely to collapse because of this.

It's really unnecessary to lose a big one.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, Han Song bowed to Cao Cao and said: "Meng Degong's meaning, I will truthfully report it to my family master in the future, although I can't respond clearly now, but I don't want to come to the mansion to refuse." ”

……

This is actually a promise.

After all, Liu Biao sent Han Song here, how could he not explain a basic psychological bottom line and give him a certain degree of autonomy.

Han Song can completely make up his mind about this matter.

For now, it's just caution and tactfulness.

After the first condition has been responded.

Cao Cao's attitude became a little better, and even the smile on Cao Ang's face became a lot stronger.

Wouldn't throwing the burden on your teammates lighten your burden and even reduce your losses?

This is naturally a cause for rejoicing.

After finalizing this, Cao Cao said by the way: "In the process of besieging Yuan Shu, you and I have everything we have gained, including prisoners, grain, grass and money. ”

This time, Han Song's head was very refreshing.

Although Luyang County is the territory of Nanyang County, it stands to reason that everything gained in the city should belong to Jingzhou.

But at this time, there is no need to argue about this thing.

"What Meng Degong said is a big praise, even if the coalition forces send troops, they should also be clearly distinguished."

……

After a little more than half an hour of deliberation.

In the end, many details were finalized.

Although the two sides did not draw up a written covenant, on the premise that there was no great interest, neither Liu Biao nor Cao Cao would choose to violate it.

After all, drive Yuan Shu away.

It's really a two-way thing.

Before leaving.

Han Song arched his hand to the father and son of the Cao family who got up to see each other, and then said solemnly.

"Meng Degong, General Zixuan, Yuan Highway has only experienced a major defeat not long ago, and it is the time when the army's morale is low and the team is scattered."

"The sooner we send troops to him, the better the chance of winning, anyway, when he settles down, it will be a protracted and bitter battle."

"So please act as soon as possible, our Jingzhou side can send troops to respond at any time."

Obviously, Liu Biao was already very impatient with the existence of Yuan Shu, and he had already fought hard to wait for the big battle.

And after hearing this.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, Degao, I already know this matter, but before the official attack on Yuan Shu, our army still needs to clear the bandits of Chen State, Liang State and other places."

"The time is roughly set in a month, please wait for the news of our army!"

Han Song understood.

The Cao family was preparing to take several other counties in Yuzhou into their pockets before they made a move on Yuan Shu.

There's not much to say.

So bow down again and bow your hands.

Quickly left the county hall.

…………

After Han Song leaves.

Father and son closed the door.

Then they got together and discussed it carefully.

"Zixuan, the time is a little urgent, in a month's time, we will pocket all the other Yuzhou counties except Yingchuan County and Runan County, I'm afraid we have to start preparing from now on."

Yuzhou has a total of six counties.

This means that the Cao family needs to settle the four vassal states within a month.

Time is indeed a bit of a pressing point.

However, after Cao Ang glanced at the map, he drew a cross on the positions of Chen Guo and Lu Guo.

"Chen Guo is only missing a name now, as for Lu Guo, in the hinterland of Yanzhou, they can't make any splashes, and those who know each other should choose to join the county on the day our documents arrive."

"As for the Liang Kingdom, the country is small and weak, and it is close to Yanzhou and Chen at the same time, once His Royal Highness King Chen is attached, then the Liang Kingdom is just a caged bird, and it won't take much time left and right."

"Only this Peiguo, the depth of the north and south is too long, and the land is vast, if you want to bypass Runan County and hold the entire territory of Peiguo in your hands, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it for a while and a half."

After a thorough analysis.

Cao Ang pointed with his hand to the location of Qian County in Peiguo.

"So the child suggests that we might as well take two steps, taking Qian County as the benchmark, taking all the territory to the north first, and waiting until Yuan Shu is defeated and the overall situation is stabilized, and then we will take it."

……

Qian County is the hometown of the Cao clan.

Cao Cao couldn't be more familiar with this.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Ang said it, he reacted.

After a little thought.

Immediately nodded decisively.

"Just do as you say, and I'll give you an order in a moment, and tell the army to prepare to assemble."

"But right now, your marriage is imminent, it's not a good time to send troops, your uncle Xiahou and them are more or less going to attend, drink a glass of wine before leaving."

"It's just that before that, I can first beat out your name as the assassin of Yuzhou, and when your name spreads, things will be better."

Cao Ang bowed slightly.

Noticed the message in Cao Cao's words.

"Father, you said that the marriage is imminent, could it be that your mother is about to arrive in Puyang County?"

"Yes, early this morning, I received a report from someone who is coming quickly, and it will probably arrive in two days tomorrow."

"Maybe it's because I often miss your marriage, and when I suddenly hear the news, I come a little faster."
