Chapter 324: Advancing in Four Directions, Yuan Shao is determined to march south
Chun Yuqiong of the Liyang camp was originally temporarily stationed after Cao Cao withdrew from Wei County.
Chun Yuqiong and Cao Cao are also old acquaintances, after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao negotiated peace, Chun Yuqiong was almost unguarded in the Liyang camp, and drank and had fun every day.
Normally, just after the peace was negotiated, how could anyone come to attack the Liyang camp?
However, Chun Yuqiong didn't expect that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would make peace, but what does this have to do with Liu Bei?
When Guan Yu attacked the Liyang camp, Chun Yuqiong was stunned.
The entire Liyang battalion, a military stronghold defended by 20,000 people, was broken by Guan Yu's 5,000 people.
When the grizzled Chun Yuqiong returned to Yecheng and told Yuan Shao that the Liyang camp was captured by Guan Yu, Yuan Shao thought that Chun Yuqiong was talking in his dream.
The Liyang battalion, which occupies a favorable location and is garrisoned by 20,000 soldiers and horses, was easily captured by Guan Yu?
When he heard Chun Yuqiong say that he drank some wine, Yuan Shao was so angry that he was about to behead Chun Yuqiong on the spot.
Can you throw away the camp after a little drinking?
That's a little drunk?
It must have been that after drinking, he was drunk and was caught off guard by Guan Yu, causing the soldiers to not know the generals and the soldiers, and the soldiers of the 20,000 Liyang battalion were in a mess.
"This Liu Bei, what are you thinking?"
Yuan Shao couldn't understand it.
first fought with Yan Liang in Chengping and beheaded Yan Liang; After Cao Cao retreated, he seized Chen Liu's interception of Cao Cao in Dongjun, looking like he wanted to ask Cao Cao for his crimes.
After Ma Teng Han captured Xudu, he let Cao Cao return to Xudu, and then attacked the Liyang camp without anyone expecting it.
This floating tactical goal made Yuan Shao unable to guess Liu Bei's true purpose.
Yuan Shao also couldn't understand that knowing that the peace was negotiated, Ma Teng Han then continued to attack Xudu, which was equivalent to tearing the peace apart in an instant.
Thinking of the letter of intercession for Feng Ji, Yuan Shao had a little more hatred for Feng Ji.
"It must have been Feng Ji's guy who instigated Ma Teng Han to attack Xudu."
"If you don't attack sooner or later, you just attack after the general and Meng De negotiate peace, isn't this deliberately making Meng De hostile to the general?"
"A good strategy for differentiation, because of Feng Ji's fight, Meng De was forced to join forces with Liu Bei again."
"Rotten and bad will be a big deal!"
Yuan Shao is very irritable now.
As soon as Yuan Shao was irritable, he didn't want to play routines.
"Ziyuan, Ben doesn't want to wait any longer!"
"Since Xu Du has been taken by Ma Teng Han Sui, the general has decided to recruit the three armies of You, Ji, He, Wuhuan and the Xiongnu Department, and go south directly to fight Cao Cao and Liu Bei."
"Send someone to Xudu again, and let Ma Teng Han kill Liu Xie."
"As soon as Liu Xie dies, those Nanzhou scholars who support Liu Xie will inevitably be confused and panicked."
"As long as Ben General wins Cao Cao and Liu Bei, these people will have to succumb to the prestige of the Yuan clan, the third prince of the fourth world."
"The world is just around the corner!"
Anyway, Xu Du has already taken it down, so why do you care about admitting that Liu Xie is orthodox?
Yuan Shao was ready to pull out the dead man Liu Ye, the king of the river, as a banner again.
As for the previous biography?
The soldiers are not tired of cheating, and then it is rumored that Liu Ye, the king of the river, is cheating.
Originally, the counties of Sanzhou were puzzled by Yuan Shao's recognition of Liu Xie's orthodoxy, and then learned that it was a fraud to seize Xudu, and the counties of Sanzhou would only applaud.
Xu Yu did not refute.
The premise of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is that Cao Cao and Liu Bei can fight.
However, because Feng Ji instigated Ma Teng Han Sui and seized Xu Capital without authorization, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao completely stood on opposite sides.
How treacherous Liu Bei is!
As soon as he saw that Xu was taken away, he immediately let Chen Liu let Cao Cao go to fight Xu Du, and in order to show his support for Cao Cao to recapture Xu Du, he also sent Guan Yu to fight Liyang.
It's like:
Cao Cao and Liu Bei were playing well, Yuan Shao ran over to Cao Cao and said, "Play with me, Liu Bei is a bad person", and then Cao Cao abandoned Liu Bei to play with Yuan Shao, but as soon as he abandoned Liu Bei, he was backstabbed by Yuan Shao, but at this time, Liu Bei came back and beat Yuan Shao to give Cao Cao his anger.
Liu Bei, this is a good person, and he has done it to the end!
Yuan Shao wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of Cao Cao again, but it was impossible to do it.
For the sake of today's plan, Cao Cao and Liu Bei can't be allowed to fight each other, so they can only start the decisive battle in advance to avoid a long delay, so that Cao Cao and Liu Bei have a stronger control over the southern states.
If it drags on and does not fight a decisive battle, Ma Teng Han Sui Fengji of Xudu will also become a lone army.
If this lone army is defeated, Liu Xie's prestige will increase again, and Cao Cao will be jealous of Yuan Shao's backstabbing again, and his hatred of the enemy will be stronger.
At that time, if there is a decisive battle, Yuan Shao's pressure will be even greater.
"If Ming Gong wants to fight a decisive battle, he can divide his troops into four ways."
"One route is Gaogan to join the Xiongnu cavalry, go Hanoi into Yingchuan, and reinforce Ma Teng Hansui."
"One route is Yuan Xi to join the Wuhuan cavalry, go to the Bohai Sea into Qingzhou, and attack Liu Bei's Linzi City."
"One route is Yuan Shanghui's trial of synthesizing, seizing Nanpi into the plain, attacking Taishan County, and cooperating with Yuan Xi to capture Qingzhou."
"All the way, led by the Ming Gongqin, recaptured the Liyang camp, crossed the river into Puyang, and contained Liu Bei's main force."
"In the end, the Four Routes Soldiers and Horses will join Yanzhou, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei can be completely strangled!"
Xu You quickly formulated a decisive battle strategy for Yuan Shao.
Without the opposition of the people, Xu Yu can now be unscrupulous.
If Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others are there, it is estimated that they will pick and choose Xu You's four ways together, find all kinds of faults, and finally end up.
Yuan Shao clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Ziyuan's plan is wonderful!" Go forward in four ways, see how Liu Bei responds! ”
A lot of soldiers is capricious!
This is Yuan Shao's biggest advantage.
seems to be the way to gather millions of troops in one place, Xu You is the most disdainful.
With the ability to fight on multiple fronts, why do you have to gather troops in one place?
Not everyone has the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops!
Without Han Xin's commanding power, hundreds of thousands of troops would gather in one place, and a disadvantageous situation of "too many troops but not in order" would be formed.
The transportation and consumption of grain and grass will also cause great drawbacks.
Xu You knew that he did not have this command, and he also knew that no one under Yuan Shao's command had such a command, so he scattered his troops and turned them into four soldiers.
If you count Ma Teng Han Sui's team, it is actually a five-way soldier.
In this way, the pressure on the command is reduced.
Soon.
Yuan Shao began to spread the word to Sanzhou, Wuhuan and Xiongnu, and recruited troops and horses to actively prepare for war.
This was almost undisguised and dispatched, and it soon reached Liu Bei's ears.
"Four ways to go hand in hand, what a big stroke!"
"Yuan Shao is going south for a decisive battle, and the battle will be decided."
Yuan Shaobing was divided into four ways, and he really put a lot of pressure on Liu Bei.
But for Zheng Ping, such a situation has already been deduced hundreds of times.
The eighth battalion of Qingzhou belongs to the elite battalion.
This is Liu Bei's most elite force, and it is also a mobile force that can be requisitioned at any time.
But this does not mean that there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses in the three states of Qingxu and Yang.
It's just that most of the troops are used to garrison the city passes.
Yuan Shao was able to recruit the soldiers and horses of the northern three states and Wuhuan Xiongnu, and Liu Bei was also able to recruit the soldiers and horses of the southern three states and Shanyue.
"You can give Qingzhou the governor of Qingzhou, command the soldiers and horses of all counties in Qingzhou, and give him the right to act cheaply to resist Yuan Xi and Wuhuan soldiers."
"Xuzhou can be granted the right to drive Tian Feng, as the governor of Xuzhou, to control the soldiers and horses of the counties of Xuzhou, and to give him the right to act cheaply, so that he can go north to resist Yuan Shanghe's trial."
"Lu Kang can be appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Lu Xun can be ordered to follow the army and command the soldiers and horses of all counties in Yangzhou, and let them enter the capital by water and wait for the opportunity to act."
"Send someone to Shanyue again, lobby Shanyue Dashuai Zulang and others, and go to Xudu with Lu Kang."
"As for the Seventh Battalion of Qingzhou, they will stay in Yanzhou and confront Yuan Shao's main force."
Zheng Ping quickly set a strategy.
In addition to Tai Shici's flying military camp in Liaodong, seven of the eight battalions in Qingzhou are in Yanzhou.
Although there were only more than 30,000 people, with Zang Hong's troops in Yanzhou, Liu Bei could also command 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, which was enough to compete with Yuan Shao's main force.
Although Liu Bei is not as good as Yuan Shao, who occupies the geographical advantages and population and materials of the three northern states, he has many more famous generals than Yuan Shao.
If it weren't for the fact that Fu Zhu also went to Liaodong, Zheng Ping could still let Fu Zhu command the troops alone, go Jingzhou into Nanyang, and cut off Ma Teng Han Sui's retreat.
As long as Cao Cao doesn't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Zheng Ping dares to fight with Yuan Shao.
Now, with Cao Cao's containment of Ma Teng and Han Sui, a strong Xiliang army, Zheng Ping can calmly choose generals and troops to deal with Yuan Shao.
It seems that Yuan Shao launched a decisive battle with great momentum, but in fact, Zheng Ping once again achieved the strategic goal of gathering troops from six states to resist Yuan Shao.
And under the city of Xudu.
Cao Cao also got the information that Yuan Shao was advancing in all directions.
This extinguished Cao Cao's last luck.
"The original was really tricking me!"
"I didn't expect that I, Cao Mengde, was smart and smart, but I was confused for a while, and I was deceived by the beginning."
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.
I thought about it, pretending to negotiate peace in exchange for time to accumulate strength.
Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the back by Yuan Shao.
Now that Xu Du has been lost, Yuan Shao is going south to fight a decisive battle in four directions, which is tantamount to pushing Cao Cao to a very embarrassing position!
Cao Cao had to resist Yuan Shao with Liu Bei.
Regardless of victory or defeat, Cao Cao could not make a profit.
Yuan Shao won, and Cao Cao was powerless to resist Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao lost, and Cao Cao was powerless to resist Liu Bei.
This made Cao Cao very aggrieved.
It is clear that if Yuan Shao is weak, he will join Yuan to fight against Liu, and if Liu Bei is weak, he will join Liu to fight against Yuan, waiting for the opportunity to grow by three points, but it has become an embarrassing situation for the two strong to compete with Cao Cao.
Guo Jia, as a contributor, is also uncomfortable.
Those who are good at planning can only strategize and win thousands of miles by knowing themselves and knowing their opponents.
However, this time, Guo Jia missed the variable of Fengji.
If there is no discipline, Ma Teng Han Sui will never dare to seize Xu Du without authorization!
However, it was this variable that made the peace policy in vain, and lost Xu Du, triggering Yuan Shao's decisive battle in four ways.
"Ming Gong, it is Jia's fault that caused this situation." Guo Jia blamed himself very much.
boasted of being a genius, but made such a big mistake, which directly changed the pattern of Yuan, Cao and Liu standing side by side.
Originally, Cao Cao fought steadily and steadily, as long as he kept Xu Du, he would not fall into a completely passive situation, but now, Cao Cao has lost the initiative, and all actions have to be forced by Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.
Cao Cao shook his head and did not blame Guo Jia.
It is not so much Guo Jia's advice as Guo Jia's insight into Cao Cao's inner thoughts.
If Cao Cao is unwilling to negotiate peace, let alone Guo Jia, it is useless for anyone to offer advice.
"This is not the fault of filial piety." Cao Cao comforted his most trusted advisor and said, "For today's plan, we must recapture Xudu as soon as possible before Ma Teng Hansui's reinforcements arrive." ”
"If the Son of Heaven loses, Cao will have no place to stand!"
Liu Xie is alive, but Cao Cao is still commonplace.
Liu Xie is dead, then the world will become a competition between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao has the reputation of the fourth generation and the third duke, and has many supporters, whether he is the emperor or the king, there are a large number of Yuan's protégés and former officials who support him.
And Liu Bei is even more difficult, just the four words of the emperor and uncle of the Han Dynasty are enough for Liu Bei to succeed to the throne and become emperor after Liu Xie's death, in order to continue the name of the Han family.
Cao Cao's situation became very awkward.
Support Yuan Shao, you have to be a minister to Yuan Shao, support Liu Bei, you have to be a minister with Liu Bei.
Whether it is to be a minister to Yuan Shao or a minister to Liu Bei, it is not Cao Cao's willingness.
"Order, don't care about hostages."
"Order the three armies and forcibly attack the city!"
Cao Cao was ruthless.
Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of the fact that Feng Ji was only threatening the people of the Cao clan instead of Liu Xie, and took Xu Du as much as possible.
Feng Ji saw that Cao Cao disregarded his son's life and insisted on attacking the city, so angry that he cut Cao Pi on the spot, and then pushed Cao Pi off the city tower.
However, this move not only failed to scare Cao Cao, but made the eyes of Cao Jun's generals red.
If you can cut Cao Pi every time, you can cut the families of the generals of the Cao army!
And so.
The generals of the Cao army, who were extremely angry, began a fierce siege of the city without fear of death.
"Crazy, all crazy!"
Feng Ji was shocked by the madness of the Cao army generals, even if he cut down Cao Cao's son and the families of Xiahou and Cao Ren and others, he could not scare the crazy Cao army generals.
"Feng Jian Jun, don't cut it, this will only increase Cao Bing's anger."
Han Sui keenly saw the clue.
Cao Cao is too ruthless!
In order to motivate morale, he did not hesitate to give up his own son, and consciously guided Feng Ji to cut down the family members of Xiahou and Cao Ren's generals.
The mourning has been completed!
"In terms of ruthlessness, Cao Mengde is really the best in the world." Feng Ji was so angry that he scolded.
Now the Cao army has formed a trend of mourning soldiers, and its morale is booming.
Feng Ji didn't dare to send the general out of the city, but let Ma Teng Han lead his troops to defend the city.
Fortunately, Xu Capital has a large number of city defense equipment, otherwise in the face of Cao Cao's mourning soldiers, Feng Ji may not be able to defend it.
And inside the palace.
Liu Xie was restless.
In order to avoid Liu Xie's rebellion, Feng Ji sent someone to Liu Xie to say that Cao Cao's son was dead and that Liu Xie should be blamed.
This is a trick used by Feng Ji to avoid that Xu Du City could not be defended and Liu Xie was unwilling to leave together.
Feng Ji is also ruthless.
If Xu Ducheng really can't hold it, then Liu Xie must be taken away!
At this time, Feng Ji didn't know that Yuan Shao was already preparing to kill Liu Xie and send the Fourth Route Army south.
But whether it is Xu Yu's plan or Feng Ji's idea, its purpose is surprisingly consistent.
Liu Xie, can't be left to Cao Cao!
As long as Cao Cao has no Liu Xie, he will not pose any threat!
"Zongzheng, if Cao Cao wants to kill me, Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to tolerate me."
"What a good thing that is!"
Liu Xie regretted going to welcome Ma Tenghan into Luoyang, and hated Cao Cao even more in his heart.
I said that I was talking about peace, why was it all that I was hurting?
