Chapter 476 Relying to Yuan Shu
"Um, what Tian Feng said is in line with my wishes. He passed on the order and ordered Yan Liang to lead 50,000 soldiers. I will set out first, enter Jinyang, and take Bingzhou for me." Originally, Jizhou and Bingzhou were separated by Taihang Mountain, and Taihang Mountain was the territory of yellow scarf. It was almost impossible for Yuan Shao to hit Bingzhou through Taihang Mountain. He could only make a detour through Hanoi. However, later, Zhang Xiu occupied Hanoi and completely disrupted Yuan Shao's plan to annex the state. Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have the upper hand in the war. Most of Youzhou has been occupied, which is equivalent to opening up the road to Bingzhou, and the distance from Youzhou detour to Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou, is much closer than the detour to Hanoi, which is equivalent to paving the way for Yuan Shao's annexation of the state.
"Yuan Gong, Yan Liang is brave and good at fighting. As we all know, but General Yan Liang's wisdom is not enough to let him lead the army to Bingzhou alone. I'm afraid he will misunderstand the master's plan. Please think twice." Seeing that Yuan Shao agreed to his plan to attack Bingzhou, before Tian Feng could be happy, he heard that Yuan Shao actually ordered Yan Liang to lead troops to Bingzhou. He couldn't help but be shocked. Although Tian Feng had no experience in fighting with Lv Bu, from the information Tian Feng knew, Lv Bu's men were not only strong, but also many top. The counselors helped each other, and Yi Yanliang's wisdom really couldn't be compared with Lv Bujun, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Hahaha, Tian Feng, you have thought too much. I know that Lv Bu is resourceful, otherwise how could the resourceful Cao Man lose to Lv Bu? However, it is not Lv Bu, but Ma Teng that Yan Liang sent troops to deal with this time. Now Bingzhou has been empty. If Yan Liang can't even take down such Bingzhou, how dare he say that he is a general of our army? Don't worry." Yuan Shao laughed and didn't care about Tian Feng's worry. In Yuan Shao's view, Bingzhou is an empty city at this time. Yan Liang took Bingzhou, just like exploring things. He could only capture it. How could there be any mistake?
"Lord, Ma Teng led his troops to attack Chang'an. Lv Bu's soldiers and horses are in Sizhou, and Zhang Xiu in Hanoi is only a short distance away from Bingzhou. How can Lv Bu's soldiers and horses not attack Bingzhou? General Yan Liang's trip to Bingzhou this time did not intend to seize food from the tiger's mouth and fight with Lv Bu's army. It's just a matter of time. Please think twice. Unlike Yuan Shao's idea, Tian Feng felt that Lv Bu would attack Sizhou and Yanzhou in a year. It shows that Lv Bu is a person with a strong desire and some poor soldiers. How can such a person let go of the fat meat of Bingzhou? As long as Lv Bu takes Bingzhou, there will be no strength among the princes to fight Chang'an. At that time, Lv Bu can really attack other princes without scruples. Tian Feng can see this, and Lv Bu and his advisers must also see it. Therefore, although Bingzhou is Ma Teng's territory, it is a must-have place for Yuan Shao and Lv Bu. It is only a matter of time for such a place to touch the war.
"Is that so? Then let Wenchou lead 50,000 soldiers and send troops to Hanoi. I'd like to see how Lv Bu blocks it. Although Yuan Shao was a little irritable by what Tian Feng said, he had to admit Tian Feng's vision, so he said again. In Yuan Shao's view, the war with Cao Cao has exhausted Lv Bu. At this time, he will not be able to deal with Ma Teng and Lv Bu in Bingzhou, and he has no strength to compete with himself. Although Yuan Shao has spared his strength to fight for Bingzhou at this time, Gongsun Zan will not die for a day, and Yuan Shao still can't concentrate his troops to deal with Lv Bu for a day.
"Since the lord wants to leave Bingzhou, he might as well test Lv Bu's confidence first." At this time, Guo Tu said again.
"Oh? How to test it?" Hearing Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shao became interested in how many people must be sent by Bingzhou. How to set up the array comes from Lv Bu's views on Bingzhou, so it is best to test Lv Bu's confidence.
"After the Ming Gong is a famous family, he has now got Qingzhou and Jizhou, and Youzhou is also available in a blink of an eye. Why didn't the Ming Gong write to the court? He asked the court to appoint the Ming Gong as a general. If the court agrees, it means that Lv Bu is not able to go north now. If the court refuses, it means that Lv Bu is ready to attack the Duke of Ming. Ming is afraid that I'm going to fight with Lu Bush. Guo Tu's eyes lit up and nodded and said.
"Ha ha ha, that's right. I'll leave this matter to you." Yuan Shao was originally a very arrogant person. The ancestor of the Yuan family was the fourth generation and three princes, and his official body was prominent. However, now Yuan Shao is just mixed with the position of state herdsman, which is really nothing in the Yuan family. Guo Tu's suggestion inadvertently aroused Yuan Shao's desire for official position. For today's Yuan Shao, he wants to be lonely. Obviously, the widow is still very far away, but Yuan Shao already has the strength of Feng Hou Baixiang.
However, it is said that after Cao Cao's defeat, he rushed back to Wancheng on a starry night. Although he met a lot of pursuers along the way, it was not dangerous. Later, he met Xia Hou Dun, who came all the way from Luoyang to rescue, which forced him to retreat a few chasers and returned to Wancheng.
"Ming Gong, although Wancheng is not small, now Lv Bu is strong. I'm afraid that Wancheng alone can't stop Lv Bu. At this time, Zhang Liao, who is stationed in Lushan, has left Lushan and went to Yanzhou. Should we contact Shouchun Yuan Shu?" Although he knew that Cao Cao was not in a good mood, the situation was critical at this time, and Cheng Yu could only ask Cao Cao bravely.
"Oh, I can't believe it. I, Cao Cao, have been smart all my life, but now I have to beg for mercy from the Yuan Highway, which I have always looked down on. It's really a trick, but it's okay. I'll complete Yuan Shu this time." With that, Cao Cao took out the paper and wrote hard, and soon a letter was handed to Cheng Yu by Cao Cao.
"You personally took this letter to see Yuan Shu, saying that Cao Cao was defeated by Lv Bu and had no face to see his former friends. However, although I, Cao Cao, failed, I was willing to use a useful body to help him fulfill his life's wishes. As long as he promised to help me revenge on Lv Bu, I would be willing to support him as emperor. Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said with perseverance in his eyes.
"Ming Gong, aren't you joking?" After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu was shocked. He didn't expect that Cao Cao would help Yuan Shu to be emperor.
"As long as Yuan Shu dares to be emperor, I will have the opportunity to annex his territory. At that time, I, Cao Cao, will still be a hero." In Cheng Yu's shock, Cao Cao said his purpose.
"Ming Gong is right. With the current situation of our army, it is really difficult to rise in the disputes of princes. The only opportunity is to replace Yuan Shu and occupy Yuan Shu's territory. Only in this way can we fight with Lv Bu." After a while, Cheng Yu finally nodded and understood Cao Cao's idea. In the war with Lv Bu, Cao Cao lost too badly, and the remaining strength was really not enough to continue to compete with Lv Bu. Therefore, there was only one way in front of Cao Cao, which was to annex other princes, and Yuan Shu was undoubtedly the stupid injustice of many rich people. Isn't Sun Ce the only one who borrowed soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu with a jade seal to have the foundation of Jiangdong? Then Cao Cao's best choice is naturally Yuan Shu.
So a few days later, Cheng Yu came to Shouchun to see Yuan Shu. The first thing he sent was Cao Cao's falling table, which showed that Cao Cao was willing to obey Yuan Shu and tried his best to assist Yuan Shu to go to a higher level and become the master of the world.
"Is this really what Cao Cao means? Cao Cao didn't play tricks on me, did he? After reading the falling table handed over by Cheng Yu, although Yuan Shu was secretly happy, the invincible Cao Aman finally bowed his head to him, but at the same time, he also had some doubts that Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were both danci in the capital. Although the relationship between the two was not very good, they still knew each other very well. With Cao Cao's temperament, he was willing to show himself. Bend your knees and surrender? There are still many things to doubt about.
"Yuan's insiders look forward to the sea, and the world returns to the heart. Yuan Gong is the orthodoxy of the Yuan family. He should inherit his ancestral business and carry it forward. In the past, my master could not see this clearly, but now my master can see this clearly and thoroughly, so he is ordered to send the drop table and letters." With that, Cheng Yu took out Cao Cao's handwritten letter and handed it over.
"Hey hey, it seems that Cao Aman was really beaten by Lv Bu, but Cao Cao wanted to rely on me, but he just sent you to come to Shouchun in person. I'm afraid such sincerity is not enough." After reading the letter sent by Cheng Yu, Yuan Shu smiled with a playful smile on the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
"Yuan Gongming saw that such a big event should have been done by my lord to come to Shouchun in person and explained to Mr. Yuan. However, now the war in Wancheng has not stopped, and Lv Bu's army is ready to move. My lord can't get out and leave, so he was sent here. Please forgive me." Cheng Yu knew that Yuan Shu would make things difficult in this regard, so he said the reason he had already thought about. Anyway, it is a fact that Cao Cao and Lv Bu fought. As for whether there is a war situation in Wancheng today, it can be fooled.
"Ha ha, I'm afraid that Duke Cao is not because of the busy war, but because he feels defeated by Lv Bu and has no face to see my lord. You should know that when Cao Cao united with my lord, he vowed to occupy Sizhou and completely defeat Lv Bu. Now it is Cao Cao who failed. It seems that Cao Cao's ability is not very good. So why did my lord unite with Cao Cao to offend Lv Bu? At this time, a scribe came out in line, but if you look closely, it was Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's counselor.
"Hahaha, everyone in the world knows that Lv Bu is a tiger and a wolf. Today, Lv Bu is against our army. He will definitely invade Shouchun every day. Does Yuan Gong think he can be alone? What's more, Lv Bu has always been cruel to his enemies. If Lv Bu knew that it was Yuan Gong who was stationed in the city, I'm afraid he would send troops to Shouchun soon. In the face of Yang Hong's statement, Cheng Yu laughed.
"Go back and tell Cao Cao that as long as he can defend Wancheng and fight against Cao Cao, I am willing to subsidize him with money and food." Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Yuan Shu became silent. After a while, he finally made up his mind and said. In the face of Lv Bu and Yuan Shu, he really doesn't have much confidence to deal with Lv Bu, but since Cao Cao is willing to be his vanguard, why not use it? With Cao Cao in front of him, Yuan Shu can naturally feel much more at ease.
