Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 464
Guo Jia still held the secret letter in his hand, and continued to interpret the contents of the letter:

"Yuan Shang ordered Yuan Xi to return to Youzhou, but he detained [-]% of his soldiers because of the lack of defenders in Jizhou; Yuan Shang sent Gao Gan and Guo Yuan to march towards Hedong.
It seems that Yuan Shang has already sent away all the people who threatened him.

Moreover, his ambition is not small, and he wants to open up a new battlefield, trying to contain us from the side while expanding the territory. "

These two pieces of information are probably the most important in the secret letter.

After Yuan Shang inherited Yuan Shao's foundation and title, he sent away his two brothers and sent Gao Gan and Guo Yuan to attack Hedong.

Lu Yan vaguely remembered that Gao Gan and Guo Yuan did have such an incident, and they also asked for help from the Southern Huns Huchuquan.But they seem to have failed in the end, and Guo Yuan was beheaded by someone
"Damn it. I can't remember this history clearly." Lu Yan felt a little annoyed.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shang summoned counselors Guo Tu and Feng Ji who had always supported him, and after persuading Yuan Tan to accept the status quo, he came to Yuan Shang's side to ease the relationship with Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shang asked Guo Tu: "Mr. Wen Ze, in your opinion, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan went to Hedong here, what is the outcome?"

Guo Tu smiled elegantly, and said confidently: "A certain person has written in advance to contact Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui, and the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan.

With their help, with the talents of General Gao and General Guo, Hedong is at your fingertips.

After occupying Hedong, Chang'an will be under our threat. Cao Cao can't look after each other from head to tail, and I'm afraid it will be a long time. "

Feng Ji glanced at the judge at this time, and then said: "As the saying goes, if you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Let's draw Cao Cao's attention, and we can eradicate the internal troubles immediately!"

The internal trouble that Feng Ji said was obviously referring to Yuan Tan.

After the words came out, Yuan Shang and Guo Tu couldn't help but turn their eyes to the trial match.

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him, the judge couldn't help but sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Ye (Yuan Shang inherited Yuan Shao's title and official position), I judge Zhengnan only for the sake of Yuan's foundation, but I still ask you to think of my brother." One match, you can raise your hand to the eldest son."

The trial match has always been upright and honest, both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang trust his words very much.

Now that the judge has subdued himself, Yuan Shang is also happy to accept such a great talent with both military and political skills, so Yuan Shang comforted: "Mr. Zhengnan is only thinking about my Yuan family. grateful.

In fact, I don't want to kill my eldest brother, but my eldest brother is violent, and I am afraid that I will let him go, but he won't let me go! "

The judge opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, Yuan Shang's words were not unreasonable
"That's all. I will also send a letter to persuade the eldest son, and also ask Yehou and the eldest son to turn hostility into jade and jointly resist Cao Cao for the sake of Yuan's foundation."

After the judge finished speaking, he bowed his hands and walked out of the conference hall without waiting for Yuan Shang to speak.

Feng Ji looked disdainful, and said: "The guy who doesn't know etiquette"

Guo Tu shook his head and didn't make any further comments. He is now Yuan Shang's mastermind, so naturally he has to hold a certain demeanor.

After a while, Guo Tu said to Yuan Shang: "We must not persecute Yuan Tan too much."

Yuan Shang heard the words and asked in doubt: "Why?"

"Yuan Tan is now defending against Lu Bu in Qinghe County. If we push Yuan Tan too hard, he might vote for Lu Bu or Cao Cao in a fit of anger.

Moreover, Yuan Tan is the eldest son after all, and all the three states have his old ministries.If he votes for Cao Cao, and if the lord is murdered and died secretly by you, Marquis of Ye, attacking him in the name of establishing an heir, I am afraid the situation will be very unfavorable to us. "

After listening to Guo Tu's analysis, Yuan Shang also understood the power of it, so he said, "Could we just let Yuan Tan go like this?"

Obviously, Yuan Shang was not reconciled.

"Of course we can't let him go!" Guo Tu said with a smile again.

"Oh! Mr. Wen Ze, please don't be so secretive anymore, how about you be blunt?"

"According to my plan, we should first appease Yuan Tan's heart, so that he will not have the idea of ​​taking refuge in Cao Cao or Lu Bu. But in secret, we are actively preparing to accumulate troops, and when we find a good opportunity, we will take Yuan Tan down with a thunderbolt." Tan, to prevent future troubles!!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang patted his palms together and said, "Okay! Just as Mr. Wenze said!"

Yuan Tan was stationed in Qinghe County.

Although the trial match went to Yecheng to mediate for him, Yuan Tan actually didn't have much hope for the actual effect. He was very worried about his future.

Just when Yuan Tan was about to summon Xin Ping to point out a way for him, a messenger suddenly came to report that Yuan Shang was worried that he would suffer from Lu Bu, so he specially sent two generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, to And led [-] troops to help out.

When Yuan Tan heard that it was Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, his father's former subordinates, he immediately felt at ease, and forgot to look for Xin Ping to show him the way.

Although I don't know if Yuan Shang has really changed his nature, but with the support of these two generals and [-] troops, even if Lu Bu attacks again, Yuan Tan can calmly deal with it.

Then you can still hold on, don't panic for now
Guo Yuan, Zhong Yao's nephew, was appointed by Yuan Shang as the prefect of Hedong County before the expedition.

Now the Yuan family has completely broken with Cao Cao, and the officials under his command are all appointed by themselves.

After Guo Yuan and Gao Gan sent troops, they united with Shanyu Huchuquan of the Southern Xiongnu and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang to besiege Hedong.

But Ma Teng and Han Sui were still a bit jealous of the Han court, they just stationed troops on the border and did not directly attack.

Guo Yuan is an extraordinary person, wherever the army passes by, all the cities will fall, it can be said that he is invincible in every attack, making the enemy fearful.

Yuan Shang sent people to attack Hedong County, the matter is very important, Cao Cao dare not neglect.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang, Cao Cao immediately summoned his advisers and asked Guo Jia to tell Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others the information they had obtained.

"The Yuan family's summoning power is really extraordinary, and they can even join forces with Ma Teng, Han Sui and the Southern Huns to send troops to Hedong County. Hedong County has few soldiers, and I am afraid it will not be able to withstand Yuan Jun's attack. What do you think?"

At this time, Xun Yu stood up first and said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui have always claimed to be loyal officials of the Han Dynasty. When Captain Zhong (Sili Captain) entered Chang'an, they even sent protons to show their loyalty. In my opinion , but Captain Zhong can send someone to report the pros and cons to Ma Teng and Han Sui, and even if they won’t help us, they probably won’t help Yuan Shang attack Hedong again.”

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Wen Ruo's words make sense."

After Xun Yu withdrew, Xi Zhicai also cupped his hands and said, "Guo Yuan is the nephew of Captain Zhong. Captain Zhong must know Guo Yuan very well, so he can order Captain Zhong to lead troops to Hedong and help the defenders in Hedong. Resist Yuan Jun."

Cao Cao also nodded in agreement and said, "Zhicai's words are very much in line with my wishes! But Zhong Yuanchang has no capable generals under his command, so I'm still not at ease."

"You can send General Zhang Xiu to help." At this time, Jia Xu suddenly suggested.

"Zhang Xiu?" Cao Cao pondered for a while, "That's good, he is very familiar with Guanzhong and other places. With him on the way, Hedong is no longer a big problem."
