Chapter 322: Xu Du fell, and Yuan Cao's army fought again
The soldiers were fast, and Liu Bei's counterattack was fast.
In addition to the strategic purpose of seizing Yanzhou, Liu Bei also brought some personal grudges to some extent.
Therefore, in addition to the Bai Yu Battalion and the Euphorbia Battalion following Liu Bei, the Ruishi Battalion, the Xiandeng Battalion, the Pojun Battalion, the White Robe Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion, all five battalions were dispatched.
Zhang Fei first took Shanyang County, defeated Li Dian's subordinate father Li Gan, and occupied Shanyang County.
Subsequently, Guan Yu and Sun Jianqi attacked Jiyin County, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong doubled their way to attack Chenliu County.
Sun Celusu, who was originally west of Chengping, went south from the Qinghe Kingdom to take Dongjun.
In the middle of ten days, Liu Bei broke more than ten cities in four counties.
On the one hand, Liu Bei spread the word to the four counties and counties, threatening that Cao Cao had fornicated with Yuan Shao and had committed a rebellious act.
At the same time, Liu Bei adopted Zheng Ping's strategy and sent people to Xu Du to play a table to impeach Cao Cao for collaborating with the enemy.
The main thing is to be the first to strike!
All of a sudden, rumors spread in Yanzhou and Xudu.
Cao Cao was arbitrary, and he was too cruel on weekdays, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers and ministers in the court.
Liu Xie resented Cao Cao's arrogance in holding the holy decree to seal himself, and he also pretended to be stupid in the court.
Although Xun Yu and others tried their best to defend Cao Cao, it was difficult for everyone to argue, and the old ministers seemed to have caught Cao Cao's lifeline, and all kinds of accusations and inferences were made to define the rumors as facts.
And Cao Cao in Yanzhou was also uncomfortable.
Although Guo Jia judged the situation immediately, after all, it was still a bad move, and Liu Bei took Chen Liujun first, cutting off Cao Cao's return to Xudu directly.
Although Lu Bu is brave, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are not good at stubble.
Especially after Huang Zhong and Lu Bubi tested the arrow, Cao Cao's heart was suddenly extremely gloomy.
"Liu Bei's movements are too fast."
"The deployment of troops in the four counties of Chenliu can almost be said to be well understood."
"Northern Expedition Yuan Shao, is it just a bait?"
Cao Cao thinks that he is good at surprise attacks, and his main focus is to attack him by surprise.
But now, Cao Cao was tricked by Liu Bei on the surprise attack.
Whether it is timing or route, Liu Bei is always one step ahead of Cao Cao.
If it was a normal defense and siege, it would be impossible for Liu Bei to seize Chenliu County so quickly.
But Cao Cao's main force was in Dongjun, and there were almost no troops stationed in Chenliu.
And Liu Bei unexpectedly transferred the soldiers and horses back to Yanzhou, catching Cao Cao off guard.
In addition to Chen Liubian's appeal, several Chen Liu's cities did not even have symbolic resistance.
After all, Yanzhou celebrities and celebrities all said that Cao Cao collaborated with the enemy, can this still be fake?
"Someone, go to Liu Bei's camp to spread the message!"
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were blocked in Dongjun, and his anger could not be hidden.
Although Cao Cao can go west to Kuangting into Hanoi and make a detour back to Xudu, Cao Cao can't swallow this breath!
Why did he have to let Liu Bei occupy Yanzhou and return to Xudu by himself?
However, Cao Cao's messenger was driven out before he even entered Liu Bei's camp.
The pawns guarding the gate even ridiculed "traitors and thieves, everyone will be punished", so angry that Cao Cao was almost about to fight Liu Bei.
"Ming Gong, Yanzhou can't be saved, return to Xudu quickly, so as not to breed accidents." Guo Jia was a little worried.
Ma Teng Han Sui is still eyeing Luoyang, in case Yuan Shao temporarily repents, it will really be a wrong step, a wrong step.
Cao Cao shook his head: "It's okay!" Ben Chu had already agreed to negotiate peace, and Hanoi County had also given it to Ben Chu, and Ben Chu's soldiers and horses would not attack Xu Du. Xu Duwen is here, and those old ministers can't make waves. Cao is spending money in this East County, how long does Liu Bei consume energy? ”
"Liu Bei beheaded Yan Liang and captured Nanpi City, it is impossible not to hold a grudge at the beginning."
"If you see the confrontation in Yanzhou, you must have coveted Qingzhou at the beginning."
"Liu Bei, don't dare to confront Cao in Yanzhou for too long."
Although Yuan Shao agreed to negotiate peace, it did not mean that he would not really send troops.
The premise of sending troops is to see whether the benefits are sufficient!
If the interests are enough, Yuan Shao can take the opportunity to take Qingzhou, and then he will be invincible regardless of the covenant at that time!
Cao Cao is waiting, and Liu Bei is also waiting.
Yuan Shao in Yecheng was also watching the excitement.
The more stiff Liu Bei and Cao Cao felt, the happier Yuan Shao became.
Luoyang.
Feng Ji persuaded Ma Teng Han Sui again.
"General Ma, General Han, Cao Cao and Liu Bei confronted Yanzhou, it is a good opportunity for us to send troops to Xudu."
"Once the capital is broken, we will make immortal contributions to the new dynasty, and leaving a name in history is just around the corner."
Feng Ji was very excited.
Cao Cao was blocked in Dongjun, which was simply an excellent time to attack Xudu.
However, Feng Ji's proposal did not make Ma Teng and Han Sui excited, but made Ma Teng and Han Sui jealous.
"The general has killed the Son of Heaven in Zhuocheng and announced his submission to the Son of Heaven in Xudu, if we attack Xudu, wouldn't we disobey the general's order?" Ma Teng expressed the suspicion in his heart.
Han Sui also said: "Feng Jian Jun, it's not that I don't believe you. Just beat Xu Du, didn't it make the general a rebel? ”
Feng Ji couldn't help but stomp his feet and said, "General Ma, General Han, do you really think that the great general will kill the Son of Heaven in Zhuocheng?" Did the general send the head of the Son of Heaven in Zhuocheng to Xudu? ”
"Nope!"
"This is just the general's delaying tactic, used to confuse Cao Cao and make Cao Cao retreat."
"Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei are facing Yanzhou, which is exactly the situation that the general is looking forward to, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman is profitable!"
"If you don't take Xu Du at this time, when will you stay?"
Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other, and the suspicion in their hearts did not completely disappear.
Han Sui said again: "Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao confronted each other in Yanzhou, if Xu Du is in danger, how can Liu Beijun who stayed behind not save Xu Du?" ”
"Surprise attack! Do you know what a surprise attack is? Feng Ji felt like he was playing the piano to the cow.
But thinking of borrowing Ma Teng Han Sui's soldiers and horses, Feng Ji forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said patiently: "Nominally, we have already returned to Xu Du." ”
"The two generals entered Xu Capital in the name of tribute, hid elite soldiers in the car, and took advantage of the situation to seize the city, how can Xu Du guard the generals?"
"As long as Liu Xie is captured, we will definitely be famous all over the world!"
"What if Liu Bei is here? I'm not waiting for the gains and losses of one city and one pool, the goal is just to capture Liu Xie alive! ”
"Xu can abide by the rules, but he can't hold Liu Xiehe and the ministers back to Luoyang."
"Who can help me?"
Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other again, and then the two discussed carefully for a while, thinking that the plan was feasible.
"The general really doesn't look like a person who will submit to Liu Xie, he must have an agreement with Cao Cao, so he will make a temporary plan."
"If we wait to take Xudu, the agreement between the general and Cao Cao will not work."
"Without Liu Xie, it is impossible for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to form an alliance again, and the general will definitely dominate the world."
decided to surprise attack Xudu, Ma Teng and Han Sui no longer hesitated, and adopted Fengji's strategy, and Ma Teng Han then escorted the tribute into Xudu in the name of tribute.
Although there are rumors that Cao Cao collaborated with the enemy, in fact, whether it is Liu Xie or the former ministers of the minister, they all know that Cao Cao did not collaborate with the enemy, but they all want to take the opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao's forces.
Therefore, when Ma Teng Han sent a message to personally come to Xudu to pay tribute, Liu Xiehe and the former ministers of the minister expressed their support.
Although Xun Yu strongly persuaded that Ma Teng Han Sui must have a plan to pay tribute at this time, Liu Xie refused to listen and refuted Xun Yu.
The reason is simple and direct, Cao Cao has made peace with Yuan Shao, how can Ma Teng and Han Sui have two hearts?
In the bottom of his heart, Liu Xie was so excited: Ma Teng Han did not enter Xudu, how to win over Ma Teng Han Sui to deal with Cao Cao's remnants in Xudu?
In order to show his respect for Ma Teng Han Sui, Liu Xie decided to go out of the city to greet Ma Teng Han Sui in person.
Xun Yu was also helpless about this.
It was Cao Cao who proposed to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao.
The rumors of collaborating with the enemy were deliberately released by Liu Bei.
No matter how you look at it, Ma Teng Han came to pay tribute, and in the eyes of most people, there is no big problem.
In this regard, Xun Yu could only make Xiahou Lian, who was guarding Xudu, be more vigilant.
A few days later.
Knowing that Liu Xie personally went out of the city to greet him, whether it was Ma Teng Han Sui or Feng Ji, they were all surprised.
"It's going to be too smooth, will there be fraud?" Han Sui was suspicious and asked Fengji.
Ma Teng also looked at Feng Ji.
After all, even Liu Xie came out to greet him in person!
Feng Ji pondered for a while, guessed Liu Xie's thoughts, and said: "It seems that Cao Cao is unpopular in Xu Du, Liu Xie wants to take the opportunity to win over the two generals to deal with Cao Cao." ”
"Ji has a plan, which can make Liu Bei give the head, Cao Cao begs to surrender, and the general dominates the world."
Ma Tenghan then moved when he heard this, and looked at Feng Ji one after another.
Feng Ji stroked his beautiful hair, quite proud: "The only people the general is worried about are Cao Cao and Liu Bei." ”
"Now Cao Cao made this stupid move to negotiate peace with the general, but he was intercepted by the angry Liu Bei in Dongjun."
"Cao Cao could have gone to Kuangting into Hanoi and returned to Xudu, but he wanted to stay in Dongjun and was unwilling to leave, but chose to confront Liu Bei."
"Cao Cao is sure that the general will not tear up the alliance, so he has to stay in Dongjun to fight Liu Bei for Yanzhou."
"We can first pretend to cooperate with Liu Xie, officially declare Cao Cao's collaboration with the enemy, and order Liu Bei to crusade against Cao Cao with a holy oracle, if Cao Cao is cornered, he will inevitably surrender to the general."
"If there is no Cao Cao's help, how can Liu Bei resist the general?"
"After Cao Cao begs to surrender, I will hold Liu Xie hostage again and fight Liu Bei with the general, how can Liu Bei resist?"
"The opportunity for the general to dominate the world lies in whether the two generals can defeat Cao Cao's soldiers and horses left in Xudu!"
Ma Teng and Han Sui listened with excitement.
Liu Bei was ordered to be the head, Cao Cao begged to surrender, and Yuan Shao ruled the world.
Such a great achievement will surely go down in history and be admired by future generations forever!
Ma Teng Han then glanced at each other, and said with his fists clenched: "I am willing to listen to the orders of the prison army!" ”
And in Feng Ji's heart, there are still some things that he didn't tell Ma Teng Han Sui.
These days, Feng Ji has been wondering why You Heng persuaded himself to come to Luoyang.
It wasn't until Liu Bei snatched Yanzhou with lightning speed and intercepted Cao Cao in Dongjun that Feng Ji finally understood Zheng Ping's plan!
Zheng Ping, I don't want Liu Xie to survive!
Liu Xie is here, and Liu Bei will be constrained by his reputation and restrained.
But if Liu Xie died, as the most prestigious Han clan in the world, Liu Bei could succeed him.
Let Feng Ji come to Luoyang, it was Zheng Ping's plan to kill people with a knife.
Although he understood Zheng Ping's trick, Feng Ji still chose the middle plan.
Or rather, it will be calculated!
Feng Ji doesn't want Liu Xie to be alive either!
After killing Liu Xie, Yuan Shao could continue to conquer the Quartet in the name of the Son of Heaven of Zhuocheng.
The Mandate of Heaven is in Liu, and it will gradually become the Mandate of Heaven in Yuan.
Without Liu Xie, Cao Cao could only rely on Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao, not surnamed Liu, is not a member of the Han family, and is destined to fail to succeed to the throne like Liu Bei.
As long as Liu Xie, the banner of the son of heaven of the Han family, is cut, the world will become a struggle for hegemony at the end of Qin, and who can become the new mandate of heaven depends on who can sweep away and disobey!
Without Liu Xie, this army will fight for the world, and everything will be the size of a fist!
Liu Xie didn't know that he had already stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot, but he led the ministers out of the city to greet Ma Teng Han Sui with great interest.
It is also a marquis, a general, and a gift of gold and silver to beauties, and it is extremely popular.
Ma Teng Han then accepted them all.
It's night.
Ma Chao, who got the secret order, suddenly entered Xiahou Lian's military camp, Xiahou Lian couldn't resist and was captured by Ma Chao.
Subsequently, the entire Xu capital faced a great purge.
Cao Cao's family and cronies were almost all captured by Ma Teng and Han Suisheng.
Feng Ji did not kill Cao Cao's family and cronies, if Cao Cao was offended too much, Cao Cao was angry and voted for Liu Bei, it would be bad for Feng Ji's plan.
At Feng Ji's suggestion, Liu Xie counted Cao Cao's ten major sins, and then sent someone to Dongjun to announce the decree, as long as Cao Cao killed himself, his family and former officials could be punished lightly.
Everything seems to be very much in line with Liu Xie's mind.
All kinds of crimes, only Cao Cao will be punished!
Cao Cao died, and the rest of the department was naturally scattered.
When the decree reached Dongjun, Cao Cao's hands trembled, and it was almost impossible to believe that Xu Du had been controlled by Feng Ji.
"Feng Ji Pifu, An dares to bully me like this!"
Cao Cao tore the holy decree to pieces, cut off the angel's arm with a sword, and his beast-like eyes were filled with fierce light: "Tell me what you know, word for word." ”
"If you dare to hesitate for half a sentence, I will chop your arm again!"
Liu Bei's military camp.
It was dark.
There were already secret agents who sent the information that Ma Tenghan had entered Xu Du to Zheng Ping.
"Feng Ji has already guessed my thoughts, but Cao Cao is not a person who will be threatened by his family." Zheng Ping's tone was a little more smiling.
In Cao Cao's army, if someone is taken hostage, then the hostages will be cut together!
And now, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang is also in the army, and Cao Cao has no shortage of heirs.
Feng Ji wants to use this to make Cao Cao beg, it is impossible!
"Want to make peace?"
"Huh-"
"Cao Mengde, although your peace strategy has broken the situation of the two emperors in the same sky, you have missed the variables."
Zheng Ping got up to see Liu Bei and proposed that Liu Bei write a letter to send to Dongjun, and at the same time ordered Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who were left by Chen, to evacuate their soldiers and horses so that Cao Cao could return to Xudu.
After getting Liu Bei's letter, although Cao Cao had doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about it, and took Lu Bu as the vanguard and went to Xu Capital in the starry night.
Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore.
His wife and daughter are all in Xudu, but now they are being captured by Feng Ji as a hostage, if Feng Ji is not killed, Lu Bu will not be able to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
As soon as Cao Cao left, Liu Bei quickly seized Dongjun.
At the same time, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong occupied Chen Liu again.
"The Yuan Cao dispute has recurred, and this time, it is not so easy to negotiate peace."
