Chapter 424 Yuan Shao's Attack on Qingzhou

"Oh, Yuan Gongbing has many generals, and there are also times when I, Zhang Yan, is very strange. I don't know what Mr. Ju Shu has any advice." After listening to Ju Shu's words, Zhang Yan asked with interest.

"Although your Qingzhou yellow scarf is not small this time, the court has ordered Cao Cao to lead troops. I don't know how General Zhang Yan is going to fight against the enemy?" Ju Shu asked confidently.

"Ha ha, Mr. Lao is worried about this, but our Qingzhou yellow scarf army is not a soft persimmon. Although Cao Cao is a pastoral of Yanzhou, it is not so easy to destroy our yellow scarf." Although Zhang Yan knew that Cao Cao was not easy to deal with, she said without hesitation.

"The general is a hero in the world. Naturally, he will not be afraid of Cao Aman, but has the general ever thought about his future? Is the general ready to live this kind of fighting and killing and fighting against the imperial court all his life?" Although the yellow scarf has been an ordinary incident in recent years, it has not stopped for a while, but people with bright eyes can see that the general trend of the yellow scarf has gone, and it is really difficult to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

"Hey hey, can't Mr. Yuan want to collect us?" After listening to Ju Shu's words, Zhang Yan smiled and said with interest. Over the years, Zhang Yan has also accepted the collection of the court. However, when it is time to make trouble, Zhang Yan is still making trouble. Zhang Yan must have hundreds of thousands of people to support. Even if she wants to completely turn to the court, it is not so easy. However, Zhang Yan is not opposed to temporarily defecting to that side, and others only need to use it. If you get yourself, you will benefit yourself, so as soon as Zhang Yan heard Ju Shu's words, Zhang Yan thought of a possibility that Yuan Shao wanted to cooperate with him.

"General Zhang Yan didn't know anything about it. After Cao Cao was just a eunuch, he actually did Yanzhou Mu, who was as famous as my master. You should know that my master is after the famous family. Therefore, my lord wants to cooperate with the general and take advantage of Cao Cao's dispatch of troops to Qingzhou to send troops to seize Yanzhou and drive away Cao Cao. I don't know what the general wants? Looking at Zhang Yan in front of him, after a half silence, he said something that surprised Zhang Yan.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Mr. Yuan had such an idea, but Mr. Yuan wanted to seek Yanzhou. What benefits can I, Zhang Yan, get? When this business sits down, I seem to suffer a tight loss. Hearing that Yuan Shao actually wanted to seek Yanzhou, Zhang Yan was shocked, but as the saying goes, it can't be early without profit. Zhang Yan would never agree to things without benefits.

"Hahaha, General Zhang Yan has been in Qingzhou for a long time. He must be very interested in the territory of Qingzhou. My lord said that as long as the general can help my lord take Yanzhou, the Qingzhou will be given to the general. I don't know what General Zhang Yan's intention is?" Ju Shu took a deep look at Zhang Yan in front of him, and then said.

"This? Is Mr. Ju Shu serious about this? Although Zhang Yan couldn't believe it when she heard that she was going to give Qingzhou to herself, she thought that as long as Yuan Shao really fought with Cao Cao, even if Yuan Shao really took Yanzhou, he would definitely not be able to attack Qingzhou again. At that time, Qingzhou was not Zhang Yan's territory, without the support of other princes, Qingzhou's side. Jun Zhangyan didn't pay attention to it.

"Hahaha, what else is General Zhang Yan worried about? In fact, I also understand that what General Zhang Yan lacks at this time is the territory. As long as there is a territory, the general's strength will definitely rise to the next level." Seeing that Zhang Yan was already moved, Ju Shu said quickly.

"It's just that for such a big action, Yuan Gong has to give some benefits first." Although Ju Shu said that the sky was falling, Zhang Yan knew that Yuan Shao's reputation was not good. Wasn't it because she cheated Han Fu and Gongsun Zan that she got Jizhou last time?

"Ha ha, my lord has said that as long as General Zhang Yan agrees, my lord can give up Puyang City to General Zhang Yan first." Seeing that Zhang Yan was moved, but still had some doubts, Ju Shu continued to say.

"Okay, as long as I can get Puyang, I, Zhang Yan, will never break my promise." Hearing that Yuan Shao was willing to give up Puyang first, Zhang Yan was shocked and immediately agreed.

"In this way, I would like to congratulate General Zhang Yan on winning the flag." Hearing Zhang Yan's promise, Ju Shu was happy and quickly got up to congratulate Zhang Yan, but his heart was happy. You should know that although Puyang is not small, it is located at the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou in Yanzhou. Its geographical location is very **. As long as Zhang Yan enters this place, Cao Cao will definitely be mobilized. At this time, Yuan Shao The army could take the opportunity to take Qingzhou. As for Tianchou in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao did not pay attention to it. Not to mention that Tianchou was originally a student of the Yuan family, even with the strength that Tianchou could not even defeat the Yellow Turban Army, Yuan Shaojun did not pay attention to it.

"Dear Cao Gong, I just received the news that the Yellow Turban Army entered Puyang City early this morning, obviously to take Puyang as a stronghold to resist the attack of our army." As soon as Zhang Yan's army moved into Puyang, Cao Cao received the news.

"Is that so? This yellow scarf army came very fast. It actually wanted to fight with my army in Puyang, which also saved us a lot of time. Hearing the soldier's return, although Cao Cao was a little surprised, he did not show it. He just said with a smile.

"Pyuyang was originally occupied by Yuan Shao, but this time Yuan Shao's army actually withdrew from Puyang. Isn't there any conspiracy in it?" Hearing the news, Cheng Yu said doubtfully.

"It's certain that there is a conspiracy. My old friend doesn't want to rob Qingzhou with me, does he?" Cao Cao frowned thoughtfully and said.

"It seems that Yuan Shao also wants to get Qingzhou, but this is also a very normal thing. Now that Lv Budong enters Sizhou, all kinds of princes are accumulating strength. It seems that we should also take Puyang as soon as possible." Hearing this, Guo Jia said thoughtfully.

"This yellow scarf suddenly entered Puyang. I think the person who comes is not good. Is there a good strategy for filial piety?" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and then asked.

"Cao Gong, the yellow scarf is born with a bitter birth. He rebelled because his livelihood is hopeless, just to seek a way to live. As long as Mr. Cao gives them a way to live and is willing to accept them, he will be able to break it in one fell swoop." Guo Jia stood up and bowed slightly to Cao Cao.

A month after that, Cao Cao led the army to go straight to Puyang. Cao Cao did not kill the yellow scarf he caught, but directly joined the army, and then continued to advance with these surrendered soldiers as the guide. Because Cao Cao adopted a soft policy towards the captured yellow scarf army, more yellow scarf troops would fall. It must have been many years. In the battle with the imperial court, these yellow scarf soldiers, who were originally farmers, were no longer willing to continue to live this kind of life of blood licking on the edge of the knife. As long as they surrender to Cao Cao, they can live a new life and live a normal life, which is also a relief for them. Therefore, most of the yellow scarves were subdued by Cao Cao in a month. When Cao's army came to Puyang City, there were only some of the most loyal believers who were loyal to the yellow scarf in Puyang City.

"Now that the yellow scarf thief in the city hasn't surrendered, should we prepare to attack the city?" Seeing that the yellow scarf soldiers in Puyang City had no intention of surrendering, Xia Houyuan turned around and asked Cao Cao.

"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Cao Cao frowned and asked Guo Jia beside him.

"Cao Gong, although the yellow scarf in the city did not surrender to our army, it did not escape. There are only two possibilities. The first is that these yellow scarfs want to fight with our army, and the second is that they may be waiting. Cao Gong thinks it should be that kind of possibility?" Guo Jia glanced at Puyang City in front of him and turned to Cao Cao.

"Now most of the yellow scarf thieves have surrendered to me, and the morale of the yellow scarf army is low. In this case, the yellow scarf army should have escaped, but they did not escape, so there is only one possibility. They are waiting and waiting to negotiate with me, but what I don't understand is why the yellow scarf should stay and What about my terms? You should know that it's risky for them to do this. Although Cao Cao has a good attitude towards the Yellow Turban Army, there are countless examples of officers and soldiers killing the Yellow Turban. Now that the Yellow Turban Army in Puyang City in front of us is easy to kill, but they are still waiting like this. I think only they know the reason.

"Report, my lord, the big deal is not good. There is news from Qingzhou that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have settled in Qingzhou somehow." Just as Cao Cao was puzzled, a soldier rushed over to report to Cao Cao.

"Yuan Shao did it so quickly." Hearing the news, Cao Cao's face suddenly changed, and his heart became depressed. He worked hard to destroy the yellow scarf of Qingzhou, but he didn't think that the territory in Qingzhou had been picked up by Yuan Shao. However, Cao Cao finally understood the reason why the yellow scarf army in front of him did not retreat. It was precisely because Yuan Shao cut off the way for the Yellow Turban Army to retreat that these Yellow Turban Army had no way to go, but it was not a good thing among the bad things. Yuan Shao got Qingzhou, but isn't this Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army just cheap?

"Don't be discouraged by this matter. Although you can't take Qingzhou, with these yellow scarf troops in front of you, our army's strength has also greatly increased." Seeing the unhappiness on Cao Cao's face, Guo Jia, who was beside him, quickly persuaded him.

"Haha, it seems that the strength of Yuan Shao and I have increased. That's good. Didn't Lv Bu come to Sizhou? With the help of Yuan Shao, I don't have to worry about the future war with Lv Bu. Lv Bu's attack on Sizhou has now spread among the princes. Cao Cao naturally knows that if he wants to stop Lv Bu's progress, Cao Cao must rely on the power of other princes, and Yuan Shao is undoubtedly the best choice. Cao Cao can see this clearly, so although Yuan Shao took advantage of Cao Cao and the yellow scarf. The opportunity to fight won Qingzhou, but Cao Cao could not turn against Yuan Shao at this time.
