Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1482 Yuan Benchu's Hesitation
In the early autumn, the inexplicable climate began to change. It rained in Jizhou one after another, and it rained strangely and heavily. Many farmers could not help but start to worry about the Zhuanghe in their homes, and looked at the sky worriedly every day. , looking forward to the early end of this inexplicable heavy rain.

Outside Yecheng, [-] soldiers had already assembled, and the military supplies were generally prepared. The weapons, bows and arrows were basically loaded into carts, but it was because of this incident that Yu had to stay in the camp and was unable to leave for a long time.

Three thousand soldiers is not too much, and it is not too little. If there is a battle, it may still be lacking, but if you want to pick up one person, this scale is not too small.

Yuan Shu defeated Shouchun and had nowhere to go.As a last resort, I thought of Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, and wrote a letter sincerely, which spread to Yecheng at Xingye, expressing his willingness to give up the name of Zhong Family to Yuan Shao...

After Yuan Shao read the letter, he couldn't help drinking and singing at night, "Zhong's family", Yuan Shao didn't care whether Zhong's family was not Zhong's family at all, he just cared that Yuan Shu finally bowed to him!

For the first time in so many years, I sincerely bowed to him!
Therefore, Yuan Shao immediately decided to bring Yuan Shu back, and let Yuan Shu take a good look at how the Yuan family's boss should be right!

But the problem is that it has been raining for a long time, and the road is muddy and it is impossible to travel.

There are no solid roads in this era. If the baggage truck is really stuck in a mud pit, it will be a disaster. In addition, many supplies cannot be exposed to rain, so they can only stay in the camp and wait for God. reopened...

However, just because Yuan Shao thought so, it doesn't mean that other people also agree.

"My lord, there is no second day when there is a way..." Tian Feng still spoke bluntly, "If the later generals come here, if there are any younger generation to sow discord, wouldn't it be... I hope the lord will think twice..."

On this matter, the opinions of the Yuzhou faction and the Jizhou faction are similar, and they are not very willing to accept Yuan Shu by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu, invisibly, recognized the identity of the Zhong family, which also had a negative impact on Yuan Shao himself.

Originally Han Emperor Liu Xie was very dissatisfied, and even issued an edict to reprimand him. Although he received the Han Emperor Liu Xie's edict, under the current circumstances, it's nothing to listen to, but the problem is that if Yuan Shao accepts Yuan Shu, It is almost like lighting a fire again, and the Jizhou faction's originally expected royalist line is getting more and more deviated.

The Yuzhou school is not optimistic about Yuan Shu either.

Those who followed Yuan Shao came to Jizhou because they felt that Yuan Shu was not very good, or for some other reason. Now that Yuan Shu is coming, doesn't it mean that another wave of Yuzhou faction will follow?

What's the benefit of this?
You must know that the landlord's family does not have much surplus food!

Yuan Shao couldn't help hesitating when his counselors were unexpectedly united in their opposition...

Yuan Shao sat at the head of the government office, looking at the pattering raindrops outside the house, as if he wanted to see the direction of the future through the rain and fog, but everything seemed to be unreal in the rain, so Yuan Shao couldn't see clearly.

Yuan Shao tried his best to look at it for a long time, his eyes were sore, and finally heaved a long sigh: "Although Gonglu has made mistakes, he is still a brother of a certain family...Now Gonglu knows his mistakes, and he has repented, so there is no chance to correct his mistakes? If you don't lend a helping hand, Isn't it a trap of being ruthless and unrighteous?"

Guo Tu smiled and said: "The lord's love is naturally to show the sun and the moon, but the brother-in-law can know the brotherhood? If it comes to Dajing, how can it be avoided?"

Yuan Shao shook his head, and said: "How can the highway be like Gongshuduan..." He said halfway, but he didn't continue, because after Yuan Shao's initial emotional surge, he gradually calmed down and began to hesitate.

There are so many brothers and sisters in the world, when the parents are still there, there is some connection, but when the parents are gone, or after they each start a family and start a business, how much of the relationship can still remain?The big families are intriguing, the small families are busy surviving, and the moderate families are even more miserable. The trap of the middle class has been prepared for a long time...

Yuan Shao couldn't help re-examining his original decision. Is it really a good thing to accept Yuan Shu?
Tian Feng glanced at Guo Tu, and Guo Tu also glanced back at Tian Feng.

Yuan Shu's territories are all in the south, separated by Cao Cao and Liu Biao. After Yuan Shu came to the north, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to extend his hand immediately. In this way, wouldn't these territories in the south be given up in vain? up?

Therefore, it is better to let Yuan Shu persist as long as possible, and wait until Yuan Shao has integrated Cao Cao, and then send his army south to take over the land from the north to the south, wouldn't it be better?

But in this plan, the proportion of Cao Cao is obviously much greater than that of Yuan Shu. The focus of the problem now is not how to deal with Yuan Shu, but how to deal with Cao Cao!

But now this word is not very easy to say.

Firstly, Cao Cao was originally used as a pawn for Yuan Shao to deal with Yuan Shu, as a buffer zone, an isolation zone, but now Cao Cao not only successfully established the isolation zone, but also successfully overthrew Yuan Shu, which is unavoidable. The taste of sticks is strong.

On the other hand, Emperor Han is still in Xu County.Regardless of the meaning of Han Emperor Liu Xie or Cao Cao, anyway, Tian Feng's repeated mention of welcoming the Han Emperor is still delayed, and there is no movement, which explains the problem...

"If you follow Yuan Hao's wishes, what should you do?" Yuan Shao finally asked by name.

"My lord, if you still want to accept the general..." Tian Feng was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Only [-] soldiers are not enough..."

Yuan Shao was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't understand right away.

Guo Tu on the side said: "Let's wait until after the autumn harvest, gather [-] soldiers, claiming to be a million, and go south to meet them!"

Yuan Shao understood a little bit, but also hesitated, is it really time to do this...

....................................

To the north of the Lujiang River and to the south of Shouchun, Guo Jia was sleeping in his tent with his clothes folded.

Although it is said that Shouchun was captured, the whole battle is not yet completely over. Cao Cao knows the truth that if you kill a tiger, you will be eaten. Since you have offended Yuan Shu, you should not give Yuan Shu a chance to breathe. In addition to staying and resting, Cao Cao still led his troops, biting Yuan Shu's tail tightly, and continued to follow up.

Now we are starting to prepare for the autumn harvest one after another. If we can’t control the surrounding counties in time, it will not be of much benefit to Cao Cao just to win Shouchun. After all, soldiers still have to eat food and grass. The county reached certain default rules and agreements. Therefore, Cao Cao pursued Yuan Shu in the Huaibei area on the one hand, and on the other hand gathered the local government.

Cao Cao is so busy, Guo Jia naturally has no reason to be lazy.

Of course, most of the time, Guo Jia still marched with the army as usual, but in fact, Guo Jia's work is often in places where others don't notice.

Guo Jia's tent, as well as Guo Jia's body, gave off a strong sour smell. These days, because the leather armor on his body was soaked with sweat stains countless times, it had already stinks. But in the army, this is the case all around, and gradually the nose seems to lose its sensitivity to the sour smell.

I'm so busy that I don't even have time to rest...

In Guo Jia's hands, it's not just some people's livelihood and government affairs, he also has information channels for personnel sent by Cao Cao to various places!It can be said that some rudimentary spy troops in the hands of Cao Cao are in the hands of Guo Jia.Cao Cao entrusted such an important task to Guo Jia, which naturally made Guo Jia feel that his power was too thin to bear the burden, and he was walking on thin ice. When dealing with these matters, he had to be extra cautious.

Over the past few days, Guo Jia naturally needs to pay more attention to the changes in the entire Yuzhou. After all, the land of Nanyang in Yuzhou used to be the hometown of the emperor, and it was also the headquarters of the Yuan family. Although it was ruined by Yuan Shu, the remaining There are quite a few former officials of the Yuan family, and relatives who are related by marriage. These people welcome Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shu?

It is obviously impossible, so how to identify which of them can be won and which must be attacked has naturally become an important task for Guo Jia at the moment.Among these families, because there are many marriages with each other, it is like a mess. If it is cut regardless, it is likely to bring many hidden dangers...

For Guo Jia, who has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, facing such a problem, how to solve it lightly has naturally become a kind of self-torture for Guo Jia, and it is also like a kind of fun, just like today, Guo Jia is mad again In the middle of the night, until it was almost dawn, he fell to the side and fell asleep.

However, Guo Jia's sleep did not last long, and was soon awakened by the soldiers, saying that a letter came from the north...

north?

Guo Jia was startled, sat up, and took the letter.

Could it be that something happened in the land of Jizhou?
But Guo Jia knew that if it was just a letter, then it was probably just an inferred guess from the eyeliner in Jizhou, and it was not a real army action, because if there was a real army action, the movement of mobilizing troops and horses could not be hidden, so it was very difficult. There may be some unusual signs, and the eyeliner is not easy to confirm, so we can only inform in advance and let Guo Jia make some judgments.

The effect of eyeliner is mostly the same.If the army is really mobilized, there is no need for the eyeliner to say anything at this time. After all, the beacon transmission on the border between the two sides is much faster than the human transmission of the eyeliner. Instead, it is some clues before the war. It is the more important information. Through this information, it may be possible to predict the opponent's next move, and this can reflect the value of an eyeliner.

Of course, it may be a misjudgment or a false report, which requires further judgment and screening by Guo Jia, which is why Cao Cao specially asked Guo Jia to handle such matters. After all, Cao Cao has a lot of affairs in his hands, and he really doesn’t have more time. Let's identify the most important information one by one from these eyeliner letters...

At this moment, Cao Cao was inside the tent, looking at the bandage on Cao Ang's shoulder, and said, "How does the wound feel? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Cao Ang moved slightly with a smile, and said, "It's okay! It's just a little injury!"

"Don't be brave!" Cao Cao also said with a smile, "If you are injured, don't move around. You can go back to Shouchun for the next two days and rest for a while! Be careful if you tear the wound, you will be in trouble! Don't get wet! Take care! Rehabilitation, the rest, let’s talk about the rest! If you want to go to the battlefield, there may be opportunities in the future!”

"Yeah! Got it..." Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao's dark circles and said, "Father also needs to take a good rest..."

Cao Cao smiled, and was about to say something, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from outside the tent, and the guard reported: "The military master has something to do with the wine, please see the lord!"

Cao Cao frowned, "Come in, please!"

Cao Ang originally wanted to say something, but he swallowed it when he was interrupted like this. Knowing that Guo Jia must have something important to come, he bowed his hands and left first, greeted Guo Jia at the door of the big tent, and left up.

Guo Jia entered the big tent, took out the letter from Bei Mian Linlin that he had just received from his bosom, presented it to Cao Cao, and said, "My lord, please read this letter... There may be changes in Yecheng!"

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took the letter, "What happened?"

"The camp in Yecheng has not been replenished with soldiers and equipment in the past few months!" Guo Jia said, "It is estimated that there are no more than [-] soldiers in the camp in Yecheng! The rest of the soldiers are missing! In addition, food prices in Jizhou remain high, and Yecheng The shopkeeper of the Nakatian Grain Farm once said that even if the crops are harvested in autumn, the price of grain will rise even more!"

"Food prices will rise again?" Cao Cao frowned.

Generally speaking, the price of grain and grass before the autumn harvest must be relatively high. Everyone knows this, but after the autumn harvest, on the one hand, the land mainly replaces the old grain in its own warehouses, and on the other hand, it also wants to better exploit ordinary people. Folks, so under normal circumstances, food prices will have a sharp drop...

Therefore, after the autumn harvest, it is quite abnormal that the price of food does not fall, but rises again.

Outside the big tent, at some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint sound of thunder coming out of the dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

Cao Cao's heart was also clouded. He glanced at Guo Jia and saw Guo Jia nodding silently.Although he didn't say it clearly, Cao Cao also came to almost the same conclusion as Guo Jia.Although there are no soldiers and horses near Yecheng, it does not mean that there are no soldiers in other places, such as Hanoi...

If Yuan Shao is really going to launch an attack, then the direction of the attack may be to march again and go north to avenge the previous defeat, but it may also be to...

"Boom!" The thunder roared in the sky, and it seemed to hit Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao stood up and watched the changing situation outside the big tent, "Come here! Pass the order! Beat the drums and gather the generals!" Cao Cao decided to leave Cao Ren Yujin as a partial army and continue to pursue Yuan Shu. You can turn around and return to Yanzhou to welcome the changes from time to time!
