Chapter 417 Yuan Shao's Ambition

After that, Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to pursue and fought fiercely with the Black Mountain Thieves in Yanzhou with the thief as the forerunner. Wherever the soldiers and horses went, they were invincible and returned the Black Mountain thief to Qingzhou a few months later.

Although Cao Cao's soldiers fought repeatedly and fought tirelessly, Cao Cao had always been more important than speed. After resting for three days, he attacked Qingzhou and occupied the city and county, and immediately sent sergeants to bring the people in the city to Yanzhou.

And a month ago, Jizhou Yan County.

After a year of rest and recuperation, the sergeants under Yuan Shao's command were all trying to refresh himself. Yuan Shao was about to lead the army and the death of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, so he called a group of civil and military under his command to discuss in the county hall.

"Lord, since Gongsun Zan got Youzhou, he has become more and more arrogant. He does not care about the people, remembers good and forgets, and will be rewarded. He is renunciated from his generals and soldiers. Today, I heard that Liu Yu is engaged in Yuyang Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Qi Duwei Xian Yuyin and others to lead the remnants of Youzhou to avenge Liu Yu, and they also elected Yan Rou as Wuwan Sima. Yan Rou recruited Xianbei, Wuwan and other soldiers and horses, and gained tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers. He fought with Yuyang Taishou Zou Dan, who was placed by Gongsun Zan, in the north of the Lu River. In this way, if the lord leads the army to attack Youzhou at this time, it is not difficult to defeat Gongsun Zun.

However, Lord, you should not only focus on Youzhou at this time. A few months ago, Wen Han got the state, and later Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was killed by the Black Mountain thieves. Cao Cao led the army to defeat the Black Mountain thieves and received nearly 100,000 Black thieves. The power expanded very quickly. I think Yanzhou will soon fall into the hands of Cao Cao. In this way, Jizhou was surrounded by Wen Han of Bingzhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou. Wen Han and Cao Cao are best friends, and the lord now only occupies one of them. If the master doesn't make any arrangements, I'm afraid that the two will join hands to attack the master in the future!"

In the hall, Tian Feng eded to Yuan Shao with a solemn face. Yuan Shao, who was originally on the main seat with high fighting spirit and high spirits, suddenly turned black. At the same time, thinking of Tian Feng's words just now, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.

"What Yuan Hao said is very true. I don't know what the plan is. Can you teach me to solve the crisis in front of me?"

"What the Lord needs most urgently now is time to strengthen his power. As long as the lord's power is so great that Cao Cao and Wen Han can't get any feelings, the crisis can be solved. Therefore, the Lord Fengwang made a decision and divided the 200,000 troops into two routes, attacking Youzhou all the way and Qingzhou all the way. In this way, the Lord can get the land of the three states and become the hegemon of the north!

"The land of the three states, the hegemon of the north!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up, almost lighting up the whole hall, and his whole body's blood spurted out and the blood was boiling.

"Yuan Hao, how to get this Youzhou and Qingzhou!"

Yuan Shao unconsciously stood up, exuding the momentum of swallowing the sky all over his body, and his hands pulled into fists. Tian Feng secretly looked at Yuan Shao's spirit and secretly said that Yuan Shao had such ambition and was qualified as a hegemon.

Tian Feng's face darkened, and his eyes condensed, emitting a wise light.

"In Youzhou, the lord can unite with Yan Rou and say that he is willing to send troops to avenge Liu Yu's tragic death. Yan Rou's strength is not enough to defeat Gongsun Zan, and he will definitely agree. According to this, the lord can let Yan Rou's soldiers and horses attack the two counties of Yuyang and Shanggu in Youzhou, and then the lord will send troops to attack the two counties of Beiping and Liaoxi in Youzhou. The Lord's current soldiers and horses are all to refresh himself. 100,000 new recruits have been trained, but the new recruits have no battlefield experience, so the Lord can send 50,000 veterans and 30,000 new recruits to attack Youzhou. And there are also tens of thousands of troops on Yan Rou's side, and there are 150,000 troops combined with the lord.

Gongsun Zan and his subordinates are centrifuged, and the soldiers and horses are only 100,000. How can they be the opponents of the soldiers and horses of the Lord and Yan Rou? After defeating Gongsun Zan, the lord avenged Yan Rou and others. They will definitely be grateful. At that time, the lord will treat him with benevolence and righteousness etiquette and subdue him into the lord's command, so that you can get it.

As for Qingzhou, the Black Mountain Thieves in Qingzhou poured out to attack Yanzhou, and their troops were empty. The lord can send 30,000 veterans and 30,000 new recruits to attack Qingzhou with 60,000 troops while the Black Mountain thieves are fighting fiercely with Cao Cao. At the same time, send another general and 40,000 new recruits to guard the Bohai Sea, so that they can respond at any time.

Yuan Shao's heart beat wildly. Every time Tian Feng said, he looked carefully in his heart. After meditating for a while, he waved his fist and shouted.

"Good! In this way, according to Yuan Hao's words. Give me the order! Wenchou, Yan Liang, Gao Lan, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Xu You and others led 80,000 troops to attack Youzhou with me. Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, Ju Shu, Shenpei, you and other four led 60,000 people to attack Qingzhou. Chun Yuqiong led 40,000 troops to defend Bohai, pay close attention to the situation in Qingzhou and adapt to changes. From the day of your choice, you will perform your duties, prepare for soldiers and horses, and immediately march to war in three days!"

After that, after Yuan Shao quickly arranged the important positions of each person, Yuan Shao's descendants took orders with high morale. It seems that they have seen the glorious future of Yuan Shao becoming the hegemon of the north.

Under Tian Feng's plan, Jizhou fought again. Three days later, Yuan Shao received a reply from Yan Rou. As Tian Feng expected, Yan Rou agreed to unite with Yuan Shao without hesitation. At this time, Yuan Shao led a group of Wenwu and sent 80,000 troops to Beiping and Liaoxi counties in Youzhou. As for Qu Yi and Zhang Kui, they led 60,000 troops to attack Qingzhou. Shortly after Qu Yi and Zhang Ao left, Chun Yu Qiong led another 40,000 troops to the Bohai Sea.

Yan Rou's army saw that Yuan Shao had attacked Youzhou as promised, and his morale was extremely strong. On the other hand, on the other side of Yuyang, Gongsun Zan's army saw Yuan Shao's soldiers and his morale plummeted. Half a month later, Yan Rou's army defeated Gongsun Zan's army in Yuyang and killed Yuyang's governor Zou Dan.

At the same time, Yuan Shao's army defeated Gongsun Zan in Baoqiu and beheaded more than 20,000 people. Yan Roujun and Yuan Shaojun, like two huge guns, were inserted into the land of Youzhou and were unstoppable all the way. In less than a few months, Gongsun Zan lost the four counties of Yuyang, Shanggu, Beiping and Liaoxi. Yuan Shao and Yan Rou each killed the officers set up by Gongsun Zan, and welcomed Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, and the two armies united in Liaoxi. After that, the two armies joined forces and fought fiercely with Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses. Gongsun Zan was defeated repeatedly, so he fled back to Yijing to hold on. More than ten trenches were dug in the Linyi River, and five or six feet high mounds were piled up in the trenches, and barracks were built on the hills. The mound in the middle of the trench is the highest, more than ten feet. Gongsun Zan lived among them. He took the iron as the gate and scolded the left and right, so that men over seven years old were not allowed to enter. He only lived in it with his wife and concubines, and hoarded three million yuan of grain. Gongsun Zan also asked the woman to make a loud voice, so that the sound could come out of hundreds of steps to convey orders. When Gongsun Zan saw that Yuan Shao and Yan Rou were fierce and difficult to resist, he became more and more frustrated and did not want to make progress. He actually wanted to use up the food and fodder of Yuan Shao and Yan Rou's army by sticking. At the same time, Gongsun Zan alienated the guests and did not listen to the advice, so that there was no cronies around him, and the advisers and generals gradually became estranged.

On the other side, when the 60,000 troops of Quyi and Zhangjiao killed in Qingzhou, Cao Cao had already repelled the Black Mountain thieves from Yanzhou and was fighting in the south of Qingzhou. Quyi and Zhang Jian fought in the north. Because the Black Mountain thieves in Qingzhou almost fought with Cao Cao's soldiers and horses in the south, so Qu Yi and Zhang Jian's soldiers were not bloody, and the two counties of Qi and Le'an.

As for Cao Cao's side, he learned from the sent scouts that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were killed in Qingzhou. He immediately accelerated the march and took the people of the three counties of Beihai, Donglai and Jinan to Yanzhou with lightning. In the past few months, Cao Cao defeated the Black Mountain thieves in a row and received 60,000 surrenders. In the battle, the thief, as a pioneer, was killed by 20,000. At this point, Cao Cao's troops got 200,000, but almost 180,000 of them were Heishan thieves.

At this time, there were less than 100,000 black thieves left in Qingzhou. The remaining Black thieves, when they heard that Yuan Shao came to the north, were so scared that they had no intention to fight. One Cao Cao had killed them powerless. Now there is another evil tiger, which is undoubtedly forcing them to death. Zhang Yan immediately gathered his generals. After discussion, she decided to take the remaining Black thieves to Le'an and surrender to the general Qu Yi sent by Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yan's dedication made Gu Yiping add 100,000 troops, which made Gu Yi ambitious. While preparing for the next battle with Cao Cao Cao, he generally informed Chunyu Qiong of Bohai to lead the army.

At this time, Kou Yi suddenly received a secret letter from Cao Cao. In the letter, Cao Cao told Kou Yi that he had no intention of taking Qingzhou. He hoped that he would give him half a month to withdraw his soldiers and horses from Qingzhou. Seeing this, Lu Yi came to Juju and review the match for discussion.

When you listen to it, you will laugh.

"The continuous battle between the soldiers and horses under Cao Mengde's command must be exhausted, and although his troops are as large as 200,000, almost all of them are the surrender of the Montenegro thieves, all of which are a group of rabbles. It seems that he knows that he can't defeat our army, so he sent a secret letter, hoping that I won't send troops to attack his troops.

"So, Ju Sima, do you think I should let Cao Cao go and let his soldiers withdraw from Qingzhou?"

Ju Shu and the judge looked at each other. After the two exchanged glances, they seemed to have unified their opinions. Ju Shu paused slightly.

"If the soldiers move, it is inevitable that people will not die. Moreover, Cao Cao and I have a large number of soldiers. If we go to war, there will be heavy casualties. And the lord is now fighting in Youzhou, and it is not appropriate to turn against Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, he can get Qingzhou without bloodshed, and it is impossible for his soldiers and horses to withdraw.

"I have no objection to Ju Sima's decision. In this way, we can also save a lot of troops for the lord. OK, I will immediately write a letter and send it to Cao Mengde for half a month. If he hasn't withdrawn in half a month, I will send troops immediately to fight against him!"

After making a choice, he walked to the table and began to write a letter, while Ju Shu and the examiner went to Koi's side and pointed out from time to time. Ju Yi admired the wisdom of Ju Shu and the trial pair, so he readily accepted it.

A few days later, Cao Cao got a reply from Gu Yi, even when he smiled at Guo Jia.

"It seems that I haven't realized that I need the real intention of this half month. In this way, I will have enough time to take away the people of the three counties of Beihai, Donglai and Jinan."

"Hehe, it's no wonder. If someone voluntarily dedicates the land of a state to Guo, not to mention waiting for a month, Guo is also willing to wait for a year.

Here, Cao Cao got a buffer for half a month and brought nearly 700,000 men and women back to Yanzhou in the three counties of Beihai, Donglai and Jinan.

Half a month later, Cao Cao withdrew all his troops to Yanzhou as promised. Gu Yi was overjoyed. He quickly divided the army into three teams and waved straight up. In just ten days, he occupied the three counties of Beihai, Donglai and Jinan. But what stunned Quyi was that when he led an army to Jinan County, there was only one in the whole Jinan County. Such strange phenomena made Qu Yi mistakenly think that he had come to hell in the underworld. Gu Yi hurriedly sent several teams to search around Jinan County, and then sent people to Donglai and Beihai counties to check the situation.

A few days later, the scouts sent by Lu Yi brought back several hunters living in the mountains. These hunters told Yu Yi that the reason why there was no one in Jinan was that Cao Cao sent troops and horses to bring all the people of Jinan to Yanzhou. After listening to it, he knew that he was in the middle of the plan and regretted it. Later, a few days later, after receiving information from Donglai and Beihai, Yuyi was almost so angry that he sprayed blood on the spot. Donglai and Beihai were the same as Jinan, and almost all the people in the county were taken away by Cao Cao.

Ju Yi's hands trembled and suddenly attacked, tearing the two letters into pieces. Qingzhou lost a full population of 700,000 people, and he must be blamed by Yuan Shao after this incident.

"Gan order to me!! Out of the army!!! Out of the army!!! I want to fight to the death with Cao Mengde, a sinister villain!!!"

Lu Yi's face was red and his eyes were red, and he roared wildly. Ju Shu, who was beside him, quickly persuaded him.

General Kou must not be swallowed up by anger and lose his calmness. Cao Mengde has taken the 700,000 people away from Qingzhou, and at this time, he is determined to take full defensive measures in Yanzhou. If we attack rashly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win!"

"General Koo, what Ju Sima said is very true. Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, and his soldiers and horses have a month' rest, and his combat strength has been restored. Yanzhou is on a steep terrain, and it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's a big deal to attack Yanzhou, and the lord has no intention of tearing up with Cao Mengde now. I hope General Koo will think twice!"
