Chapter 520 Cao Liu joins hands
"Exexpectedly, Yuan Highway wanted to destroy himself. Why didn't the lord launch an expedition with the order of the Han Dynasty? As soon as the Yuan Highway is removed, there will be no power in the south to threaten the lord.
"I'm afraid of his brother, Yuan Benchu won't sit idly by."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and suddenly mentioned Yuan Shao, a giant in the north. However, Guo Jia seems to have no worries about the contrast.
"Yuan Highway was originally a Han minister, but he wanted to be the emperor. Although Yuan Benchu was his brother, he was also a Han minister and a high position in the court. If Yuan Benchu helped Yuan Highway, wouldn't he be called his brother, two snakes and rats in the world, and Yuan's family was full of anti-thieves. Such a famous man in the world, who dares to respect the Yuan family in Runan?
What's more, Yuan Highway asked Sun Jian to borrow grain from Yuan Shao a long time ago. Yuan Shao was afraid that his brother would be dominant in the south and deliberately did not borrow it. Therefore, Yuan Highway has a grudge against Yuan Benchu. The relationship between the two is tense, and they are peaceful on the surface, but they are fighting inside. They don't want to be overwhelmed by each other's forces. Therefore, Jia believes that Yuan Benchu will never be willing to risk the world and send troops to save Yuan Highway!"
"Hmm. The analysis of filial piety is very reasonable. With Yuan Benchu's nature, most of them will not send troops.
In fact, Cao Cao had an analysis in his heart, but he still wanted to listen to the opinions of his advisers. After a pause, Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said.
"Moreover, my lord, I think this matter is controlled by a master. I once heard that the Yuan Highway Company funded a huge amount of grain to Sun Wentai to pact the military chaos in Yangzhou. It can be seen that these two people used to be incompatible, how could they suddenly become so close? As soon as Yuan Highway became emperor, Sun Wentai immediately sent a secret letter to persuade the lord to send troops to the south. Ruo Jia guessed that this master must be hidden under the command of Sun Wentai. Moreover, this master has already arranged a belligerent situation. As long as the lord's army is killed, he will unite Liu Xuande's soldiers and horses to attack the Yuan army, while Sun Wentai's soldiers and horses will be in the rear. In this way, Yuan Highway will definitely fail!"
"It's ridiculous that Yuan Highway didn't know that a big disaster was coming, and he dared to be the emperor at this time. It's not a pity to die. Feng Xiao and Wen He seem to be the master behind Sun Wentai, whose wisdom is so high that he will never be inferior to you two.
"There are so many handsome talents in the world. They don't know a little about small tricks. How dare they ignore the world's handsome talents."
Jia Xu arched his hand and was very modest. Guo Jia's eyes lit up, as if Cao Cao stirred up the fighting heart against the master. Jia Xu and Guo Jia have very different personalities. Jia Xu is happy to hide, because only in this way can he live longer in this troubled world. Guo Jia is unruly and wants to do whatever he wants. Therefore, among these two people, Cao Cao likes Guo Jia more.
Cao Cao saw the changes in their expressions, and then said with a smile.
"Haha. Unexpectedly, this master helped me Cao Mengde. Yuan Shu fell to death early, and now he only waited for the butcher's knife to fall and kill him. And the person who held up this butcher knife was me, Cao Mengde!
Come on, give me the order. Xiahou Dun and Li Dian were an army, and Yu Jin and Le entered an army. Each of them led their troops and rushed to Yingchuan and Chen County. Then order Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Cao Chun to integrate the soldiers, and I will lead them to Xuzhou Xia Pi!"
Cao Cao shouted, and the soldiers who came listened and hurried to inform. Cao Cao then turned around and looked at Jia Xu.
"Wen He, you and Cheng Yu went on an expedition with Xiahou Dun and Yu Forbidden's army respectively, and were responsible for the war in Nanyang and Runan."
Although Cao Cao did not take Jia Xu with him, Jia Xu was not disappointed, changed his voice, and bowed slightly.
"I take orders."
"Wen He, Yuan Rang's temper is violent. If there is recklessness in the march, you can punish him severely. There is no need to worry about his identity as our family.
Cao Cao has always had clear rewards and punishments and never shielded him. Even if he is like the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others, if he makes a big mistake, Cao Cao will also be punished impartially.
"Ha ha. General Xiahou has been fighting with his lord for many years, and he has long changed his irritable fierceness. Now he is calm and cautious, and he is quite talented. The lord doesn't need to worry about the Nanyang war. I can assure you that General Xiahou will complete his mission.
Jia Xu laughed, and Cao Cao also laughed after hearing this. Jia Xu would talk about it. If he dared to make a promise, he would naturally be fully sure.
And the reason why Jia Xu dares to make this promise is that he has been hiding for a long time, and it is the time to show his sharpness. Otherwise, if it is unknown again, it will definitely cause Cao Cao to be unhate. Secondly, Cao Cao used the three armies to fight against Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was too busy to take care of himself. He would definitely concentrate all the good generals under his command in Huainan. In this way, Nanyang has no strong general to guard, but Jia Xu's army is the courage of Xiahou Dun. At the same time, Li Dian, who has the ability to command the army, is his deputy. Jia Xu is naturally confident to break through Nanyang.
"Haha, good! Nanyang has Wenhe, and Runan has Zhongde. With the wisdom of you two, I can safely deal with the Huainan war. When it comes to filial piety, I will rely on your genius. Don't want you and me to join hands, and I will be slow to write and Zhong De. Then I don't know where Cao's face will be.
Guo Jiaming's eyes were shining, smiling but not answering. Although this is the case, Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was fighting at this time. From his shining eyes, he could know that Guo Jia was in an extremely excited state.
Cao Cao decided to march to the south. In the next day, he reported to Emperor Xian of Han and Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor. The matter of Yuan Shu's claim to the throne was said from Cao Cao, and the whole court was almost shaken. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was furious and immediately sued Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao to fight. Cao Cao took over the imperial edict and chose to join the three armies.
The first army was 20,000 soldiers led by General Xiahou Dun and Lieutenant Li Dian of Hufen. The army rushed to Yingchuan and attacked Nanyang. At the same time, Jia Xu was a military sternity, assisting Xiahou Dun's army. The second army, Yiwei, heroic lieutenants, and 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Yu Jin and Lejin gathered in Chen County to attack Runan. Among them, Cheng Yu, the prime minister of Dongping, is a military division. The third army was personally led by Cao Cao, accompanied by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Chun and other fierce generals. Sima sacrificed wine and Guo Jia as the army division, and raised 60,000 troops to attack Huainan.
Cao Cao's army was 100,000, and all kinds of troops waved and murderous, according to the boundaries of each jurisdiction of Yuan Shu. Not long after Yuan Shu became emperor, he was singing on the night of his birthday and enjoying the emperor's life. Suddenly, a soldier reported an emergency and told Yuan Shu that Cao Mengde, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, raised 100,000 troops, each on the borders of Nanyang, Runan and Huainan. Yuan Shu was shocked. He pushed the imperial concubine away with both hands and said angrily.
"Wow! How dare you send troops to invade my territory! I will teach you that there is no place to die!"
After Yuan Shu finished drinking, he ordered the soldiers to call him to discuss the major events of attacking the enemy. Half an hour later, Yuan Shu's military command heard that Cao Cao was a criminal and rushed to him one after another.
A group of literary and martial arts gathered together, and Yuan Shu was above the palace and asked by the counselors. Master Bo Yanxiang took a step forward and entered the ado.
"Your Majesty Cao is fierce. If we gather our troops, it will be difficult to resist. At present, he should first send messengers to Xuzhou, so that Liu Xuande can send troops to block Cao Mengde's troops. At the same time, let Sun Wentai lead the army back to help, gather the army, and then make a final.
"What Yan Aiqing said is reasonable. Come on, send my edict to Liu Bei and Sun Jian immediately!"
Yuan Shu's face tightened, and he thought that he still had a lot of cards. Although Liu Bei's troops were small, he had Pan Zhang Zhiyong under his command, and it should be okay to resist Cao Cao's army for half a month.
As for Sun Jian's side, I heard that his troops were as large as 80,000 at this time. When Sun Jian's troops arrived, Yuan Shu closed his troops and horses, and he could turn the defense into an attack and break through Cao Cao's three armies.
After that, Yuan Shu wrote the edict, ordered the messenger to whip quickly, and passed the edict to Liu Bei and Sun Jian as soon as possible. Later, Yuan Shu ordered Li Feng and Le Zhu to lead 50,000 troops to the border of Xia Pi in Huainan to resist Cao's army. At the same time, he also made them pay attention to the war between Liu Bei and Cao Cao and adapt to changes.
However, it is said that Cao Cao led 60,000 troops to rush to Xia Pi, which had already been met with Liu Bei. As soon as Cao Cao arrived in Xia Pi, Liu Bei led his troops to wait outside the city for a long time. Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Liu Bei. Liu Bei led Pan Feng and Zhang Fei into the city to meet Cao Cao.
"Haha, I haven't seen Xuande for a long time. Your demeanor is a little more elegant than before. It seems that you can sit at the position of Xuzhou Mu at will.
As soon as Liu Bei walked into the county hall, he smelled a burst of laughter. Liu Bei's face restrained and quickly bent down to worship.
"Liu Xuande, pay a visit to the Prime Minister!"
"Oh, no gift, no gift. In order to kill the traitor, Liu Xuzhou can be said to endure humiliation and bear the burden. When the traitor is killed, I will report to the emperor and reward Liu Xuzhou.
Cao Cao comforted him with kind words. Liu Bei was very grateful on the surface, but at this time, he was sneering in his heart. Cao Cao has always had the heart to seek Xuzhou. He is afraid that once Yuan Shu is eliminated, he will soon send troops to attack Guangling and the East China Sea.
Both of them were acting. After the virtual drama, Cao Cao finally talked about business.
"Liu Xuzhou, Yuan Highway didn't know that you were a false surrender. When he learned that I had started a large army, he would definitely send you to stop you from the army. In this way, you and I might as well do a few good plays to confuse Yuan Highway and give him a blow!"
Cao Cao's thin eyes are bright, and his eyes seem to emit an extremely huge light, which makes people dare not look directly. Liu Bei lowered his head slightly and then said.
"I don't know how to cooperate with Xuande in these good plays of the Prime Minister? I don't know what this plan is?"
"You and I have fought several battles in detail. You pretend to be invincible and send a letter to ask for help. When the reinforcements come, you will act as an inner response in their army, attack back and forth with our army, and destroy the army all the way to Yuan Highway first!"
Liu Bei couldn't help frowning. Cao Cao has always been uneasy and kind to him. If in these scenes, Cao Cao suddenly attacks and the army hangs him, he will face a great disaster.
"Brother, you must not! Cao Mengde is extremely cunning, and he is afraid that he will suddenly change his mind and hurt his brother in the detailed battle!"
Zhang Fei was violent. He immediately stared around his eyes and shouted violently in a thunderous voice. Cao Cao's face was suddenly dark. Dian Wei and Xu Chu beside him stepped out, and Dian Wei suddenly became evil, shouting like a bell.
"Presumptuous! My lord is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. You are just a nobody. How dare you talk wildly? Why don't you kneel down and apologize? Otherwise, let's see how I can unscrew your black head!"
