Now that Liu Biao, who has moved to Zongzheng, can't understand the situation in front of him.

Some time ago, Liu Biao was deliberately provoking Cao Ang to go to Yanzhou to compare with Zheng Ping who was the most of his age.

As a result, after Cao Ang went to Yanzhou, there was no splash, and then the situation evolved, Feng Ji Ma Teng Han then captured Xu Capital, and Cao Cao waved his army to fight Xu Capital.

Such a change in the situation made Liu Biao fall into the clouds.

However, Liu Biao is sure that neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao can tolerate Liu Xie.

Cao Cao's sons were cut down several times, and if Xu Du was recaptured, Liu Xie would inevitably usher in Cao Cao's crazy revenge.

After all, this is a coincidence, and it was Liu Xie who welcomed him into Xu Capital.

If Cao Cao is defeated, Liu Xie will become Yuan Shao's subordinate and will not be treated too well.

"Perhaps, you can ask Liu Bei for help."

Liu Biao held back for a long time, and only thought of Liu Bei.

Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't tolerate Liu Xie, and only Liu Bei can tolerate Liu Xie.

Liu Xie sighed: "Zongzheng, Liu Bei, may not be able to tolerate me." Cao Cao has always suppressed Liu Bei, and while ordering Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shao, he also negotiated peace with Yuan Shao without authorization. ”

"Liu Bei is angry in his heart, and I may not be able to appease him."

"If this were not the case, how could Liu Bei let Cao Cao come to Xu Du instead of returning to Xu Du in person?"

"At this moment, Liu Bei just wants to see Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight each other, and he doesn't care about my life or death."

In Liu Xie's heart, he also had complaints about Liu Bei.

Put Cao Cao back to fight Xu Du, isn't this a clear pit for himself?

Liu Biao was silent.

The evolution of the current situation has made Liu Biao feel like he is in a quagmire.

If you want to break the game, it's too difficult!

The offensive and defensive battle between Feng Ji and Cao Cao lasted for half a month.

Although Cao Bing has the tendency to mourn the soldiers, the city of Xu is high and deep, and Feng Ji is good at commanding troops, and Cao Cao has no way to take Feng Ji in a short time.

Cao Cao had thought about the internal response in the United City, but Feng Ji acted decisively, if it wasn't for Xun Yu's reputation in Xu Capital City, he almost even cut Xun Yu!

Although Xun Yu did not die, he was also detained in prison to deter the ministers and officials in the capital of Xu.

Suddenly, Cao Cao's attack on Xudu fell into a stalemate.

And on the other side.

Yuan Shao's four-way army also went south one after another.

Yuan Shang led his troops to Chengping first.

Since Liu Bei was no longer stationed in Nanpi, Yuan Shang easily took Nanpi City.

This made Yuan Shang a little more proud, thinking that Liu Bei would not dare to fight with him.

"Mr. Zhen, why don't I just call Linzi?" Yuan Shang was not very satisfied with Yuan Shao's appointment.

Why did Yuan Xi go to Linzi, and he could only fight Mount Tai? Do you want to cooperate with Yuan Xi to capture Qingzhou?

Yuan Xi, little concubine!

The judge naturally knew the contradictions between Yuan Shao's sons, thought for a while, and said, "Shang Gongzi can't tell the truth. This troop transfer must have been done by Xu You. ”

"Xu You has always disliked Shang Gongzi, and Tan Gongzi went to Liaodong again, so Xu You wants to show favor to Xi Gongzi."

"Master Shang, don't underestimate Yuan Xi, Duke Ming is also a concubine."

"At this time, don't be rash!"

The trial of this slander is very ingenious, so clever that people who do not know the inside story cannot see that it is a slander.

After all, not only did the trial not destroy Xu You's deployment, but he also strongly persuaded Yuan Shang not to act rashly.

It's just that this will make Yuan Shang hate Xu You.

Yuan Shang was really bewitched, and he was quite annoyed with Xu You: "It's this guy with eyes above the top again!" Relying on the fact that I have known my father since childhood, I never looked at me squarely! ”

"When my father defeats Cao Cao and Liu Bei, I must let Xu You know who is the lord and who is the minister!"

The judge sneered secretly.

If it weren't for everyone's opposition, Xu You would have called him "original", how could he bow to Yuan Shao's son?

persuaded Yuan Shang, and the trial began to dispatch troops.

Take Nanpi to Taishan County, and you have to pass through the plain country in the middle.

But Yuan Xi also had to pass through the Plains Country to fight Linzi City.

Thinking of this, the trial decided to wait for Yuan Xi to arrive in Bohai County before going south.

In this way, Yuan Xi can be used to attract Qingzhou's troops, and the strange soldiers will go south to Taishan County, and Ying Shao will be caught off guard.

Since Yuan Xi wanted to join the Wuhuan cavalry, the time to go south was later.

However, Yuan Xi went south this time, and all he brought with him were cavalry, and the marching speed was faster.

Two days later, Yuan Xi arrived in Bohai City and met the messenger of the trial.

Yuan Xi knew the idea of the trial, but he didn't break it.

At first, Yuan Xi thought that he was not treated well by Yuan Shao, until Yuan Xi became the assassin of Youzhou and was also responsible for maintaining the relationship between the three kings of Wuhuan, Yuan Xi understood Yuan Shao's good intentions.

After all, Yuan Shao is also a concubine, how can he really not regard Yuan Xi as a son?

"Go back and tell Yuan Shang that the soldiers and horses of the Plains Country will naturally resist the history of the assassination, and a waste who will only wag his tail and beg for mercy by his father's side is worthy of going to fight a small Taishan County."

Yuan Xi was afraid that the messenger would not be able to remember, so he asked the messenger to recite it in person, and let him relay it to Yuan Shang.

What bitterness in the heart of the Messenger!

This time, is there still a life?

I'm just a little messenger!

The messenger returned to Nanpi City in despair and relayed Yuan Xi's words.

After hearing this, Yuan Shang was directly stunned for a long time.

Immediately, Yuan Shang took the case: "This assassin is going to Linzi, no one should stop him!" ”

is equivalent to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang is the youngest so Yuan Shao likes it the most.

Yuan Shang is also clever, knowing that if he stays away from Yuan Shao like Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, this relationship will be estranged.

After all, this advantage has to be seen by Yuan Shao to be called an advantage.

If you can't see it, no matter how good you are, you can't afford a slander.

This is also the way of struggle for power taught by Yuan Shang's biological mother, Mrs. Liu.

However, now Yuan Shang's careful thinking was ruthlessly punctured by Yuan Xi, and he was even scolded as a waste who could only wag his tail and beg for mercy.

How can Yuan Shang endure it?

Knowing that Yuan Shang was going to make a mistake again, the judge hurriedly came to persuade: "Master Shang, don't fall for Yuan Xi's agitation method!" ”

"If Shang Gongzi goes to fight Linzi, Yuan Xi will inevitably regard Shang Gongzi and the guards of Linzi City as sandpipers, and he will be a fisherman in the back."

"Shang Gongzi has made a wedding dress!"

"It's okay if you win, but if you lose, wouldn't it give Yuan Xi another chance to take Taishan County?"

"In this way, Yuan Xi has made a great contribution!"

The trial was bitter, and it was easy to talk badly, so he persuaded Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang said fiercely: "Yuan Xi'er, you deceive people too much!" When this thorn history takes Taishan County, Qingzhou will be won! ”

Yuan Shao's two-way army went south, and Xun You and Tian Feng, the two temporarily appointed governors of the prefecture, also quickly dispatched troops to the north to build an interception front.

Although both of them are literati and are in charge of government affairs on weekdays, both Xun You and Tian Feng are hexagonal warriors who are both military and political.

For the two of them, there is not much difference between commanding the army and handling government affairs on weekdays.

To unify the troops in combat is to dispatch them.

The dispatch of military generals in the army and the dispatch of state government officials are actually the same in many places.

This is also why many literati who are proficient in internal affairs are also good at commanding the army.

Because these literati know how to put the right people in the right positions, and then break the enemy with regular soldiers.

No matter what kind of intrigues you have, I'll just say one word:

Steady!

The way of using soldiers is both positive and strange.

Xun Youtian Feng is not an elite soldier because he is not an elite, so he seeks stability.

But Zheng Ping, who was in Yanzhou, was not interested in fighting steadily with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses in Wei County within half a month, and he wanted to use the advantage of troops to contain Liu Bei's main force and give the other three routes time to join forces.

The strategy that Xu Yu prepared for Yuan Shao was simple.

Every step of the way!

The main one is one, there are many soldiers and generals, and there is no need to play intrigue with Liu Bei.

I have to admit that Xu You made full use of Yuan Shao's military advantage, and temporarily avoided Yuan Shao's disadvantage of having many and unorganized troops.

In the second year of Xingping, winter and December.

Zheng Ping set up a false flag in Dongjun, personally led the military camp, Ruishi battalion, Xiandeng battalion, white robe battalion and shooting sound battalion, cooperated with the trapping camp of Gao Shun of Dongping Kingdom, and suddenly appeared behind Yuan Shangjun when Yuan Shang was fighting against Ying Shao and Tian Feng.

Guan Yu beheaded Han Meng, the general of Yuan Shangjun, and Yuan Shang returned defeated.

After defeating Yuan Shang, Zheng Ping provoked 5,000 elite cavalry from the five battalions of soldiers and horses, with Zhao Yun and Sun Ce as generals, taking advantage of the short ice period on the surface of the Yellow River, and appeared in Qinghe Kingdom overnight.

Qinghe Kingdom had already been defeated once, and when Zheng Ping led the army to come again, most of the cities were directly surrendered.

Yuan Shao, who learned the news, was shocked and hurriedly sent Wen Chou to lead his troops to save Qinghe Kingdom.

However, Wen Chou had not yet arrived in Qinghe Kingdom, and Zheng Ping had already led his army to appear in Julu County and directly robbed Yuan Shao's military rations for his own use.

Within a month, Zheng Ping led five battalions of soldiers and horses, first to fight Qinghe Kingdom, and then to Julu County, and the soldiers and horses went straight to Zhongshan Kingdom.

Only fight but not defend, and feed the war with war.

This crazy style of play directly blinded Yuan Shao.

No wonder the rear city could not be defended, Yuan Shao gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses in Wei County, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang divided another 60,000 soldiers and horses, and those who stayed in the rear city were not the opponents of the five battalions of Qingzhou at all.

Even if there is Yuan General, who is good at defending the city, he can't stop Zheng Ping's five thousand elite horsemen.

Defend the city?

Zheng Ping directly does not take a detour!

If you can fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will change places.

With the "method of fighting behind enemy lines" and the tactical idea of "the enemy retreats and we advance, the enemy is stationed and we disturb, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue", Yuan Shao's troops in Wei County were bypassed, and Yuan Shao's garrison was eliminated piecemeal.

Zheng Ping's move is too damaging.

If Zheng Ping was left alone, Zheng Ping wantonly attacked the city and plundered materials in Yuan Shao's rear, causing panic among the army and civilians.

If you take care of Zheng Ping, Yuan Shao will divide his troops to chase him, and he will have to send cavalry to chase him!

But Zheng Ping is too treacherous!

There were too many soldiers, and Zheng Ping fled directly to avoid the battle.

There were fewer soldiers, and Zheng Ping, in turn, ambushed Yuan Shao's soldiers.

The lightning-like interspersed tactics and illogical marching routes made Yuan Shao's cavalry fall into the clouds and be led around by the nose.

From time to time, cavalry was eliminated, and even dozens of large armors were taken away.

Zhongshan Country.

Zheng Ping led the cavalry to Zhen's manor.

When Liu Bei first served as the assassin of Qingzhou, he recommended Zhen Yao as Maocai.

However, Zhen Yao's family has a big business and did not go to Qingzhou to take office.

Seeing Zheng Ping appear in Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhen Yao almost didn't believe his eyes.

"Master Zheng, why are you here?"

"Didn't you fight Yuan Shao from Yanzhou?"

Zhen Yao rubbed his eyes, making sure he didn't recognize the wrong person.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: "I used some little tricks to make Yuan Shao some trouble, this time I came to Zhongshan Kingdom in the hope that Zhen could borrow some grain and grass." ”

Zhen Yao didn't think twice: "If Zheng Junshi wants grain and grass, he can take it in the village." ”

Zheng Ping chuckled and asked: "If the Zhen clan lets the soldiers in Qingzhou take grain and grass, and Yuan Shao asks for the guilt, what should I do?" ”

Zhen Yao was stunned for a moment.

Just now, he just agreed to let Zheng Ping take grain and grass, but he didn't think about Yuan Shao's questioning.

Zheng Ping quickly gave Zhen Yao a plan: "Along the way, we are all fighting to support the war, robbing Yuan Shao's military warehouse all the way, since we have come to Zhen's family, we cannot be an exception." ”

Zhen Yao quickly reacted: "Master Zheng has a clever plan, in this way, Zhen is also a victim." ”

After a pause, Zhen Yao said again: "Master Zheng, since this grain and grass have been robbed, there is still a reluctant invitation below." ”

Zheng Ping nodded: "The head of the Zhen family, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhen Yao sighed lightly and said, "Before Yuan Xi went south, he sent someone to Zhen's dowry to take Yao's young sister as his wife. But Yao didn't want to marry his younger sister to Yuan Xi, but he had no solution. ”

"Since Zheng Junshi came to the Zhen clan to loot the grain and grass, why don't you rob Yao's younger sister as well?"

Zhen Yao's younger sister?

Yuan Xi's wife?

Zhen Mi?

O livestock!

Calculate the time, Zhen Mi is only twelve or thirteen years old, and Yuan Xi came to give a dowry?

Although ancient people got married early, Yi Zhengping's concept is that he really can't accept getting married at the age of twelve or thirteen.

"Then take it all with you!"

Zheng Ping didn't hesitate.

robbed Zhen's money and food, robbed Zhen's woman, no matter how you look at Zhen's are victims, Yuan Shao still needs Zhen's food and grass, and he will definitely not suspect Zhen and Zheng Ping of collusion because of this matter.

And when Zheng Ping turned into the river, Yuan Shao finally couldn't help it, and directly sent out all the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, wanting to leave Zheng Ping's 5,000 elite cavalry in Jizhou.

"Big brother, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have moved!"

Zhang Fei came to look for Liu Bei with great interest.

"Mr. Xianmou said before leaving, if you see a large number of cavalry in Yuan Shao's camp, you will prepare to rob the camp!"

"Mr. Zigang also thinks that taking advantage of Yuan Shao's cavalry being unable to return is the best time to rob the camp!"

Liu Bei suddenly got up: "Yide, can you see clearly?" How many cavalry did Yuan Shao come out of the camp? ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be excited: "At least 30,000!" Even Wen Chou is out of the camp! ”

Liu Bei stroked his palms and laughed: "After waiting for a month, I finally waited for the opportunity!" Yuan Shao was really able to endure it, and he actually sat back and watched the conspiracy act arbitrarily in the rear city for a month before he was willing to send all the cavalry out. ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "It's not that Yuan Shao refused to send cavalry, but Yuan Shao didn't expect that the five thousand cavalry of Xianmou were more slippery than loaches." When there are too many soldiers, they will run away; There are fewer soldiers, and they can't be beaten. ”

"It is estimated that Xianmou is going south to return to the camp this time, so he sent all the cavalry out to intercept Xianmou."

"Xianmou has successfully divided Yuan Shao's cavalry, if the remaining soldiers and horses, we can't break them, and when Xianmou comes back, we will be ridiculed."

Guan Yu said proudly: "The 30,000 most elite cavalry has left the Wei County camp, what else can Yuan Shao do, can he stop Guan Mou's first camp?" ”
