Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 241 Yuan Shu Moved His Troops

Half a month later, 20 Wei troops set off from Xudu, heading towards Xiliang with great momentum.As the largest prince in the north, Cao Cao occupied most of the territory in the north. How could Cao Cao swallow Ma Teng's jokes.

After it was reported that Ma Teng occupied the three counties of Wuwei, Mayi, and Liangcheng, it meant that the battle between Cao Cao and Ma Teng had begun.

At this time, on the official road outside Xudu City, countless flags were fluttering in the wind. These elite Cao soldiers were all wearing black armor, and they stretched out their hands exuding the smell of veterans.

Although these soldiers and horses of Cao Cao are not elite, they should be considered veterans.These soldiers were not the soldiers who had never seen blood before, because after the Black Mountain Army was drilled by Li Chen, at least they would not easily run away in fear on the battlefield.

At the forefront of the army, this is Cao Jun's elite tiger and leopard cavalry.As the saying goes, Xiliang horses run rampant all over the world.Xiliang's cavalry is very powerful. Among Cao's troops, only the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Cao's ace army, can beat the Xiliang cavalry.

On Cao Jun's central army banner, this is a flying and phoenix-dancing Wei character. When the wind blows, the character behind Wei leaks out, and the character behind it is Cao.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, there were two generals sitting. These two generals were Cao Ren, the chief general of this dispatch, and Xiahou Dun, the deputy general.

When sending out troops, Guo Jia specially told Cao Ren not to march too fast, but to march slowly, bit by bit to kill the thoughts of those hiding in the dark.At the same time, try to delay as much as possible so that Guo Jia can prepare at home.

Beihai County, Shu Palace.

Since Li Chen defeated Cao Cao in the battle of Xiaopei, Liu Bei cheated Cao Cao of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and fled to Beihai County with these soldiers and horses.

The prefect of Beihai County was originally Kong Rong, who was a descendant of Confucius, that is, Kong Rong who gave up pears.To say that Kong Rong's character is really good, he knew how to make pears when he was young, and he knew how to make cities when he was old.

As soon as Liu Bei came to Beihai, Kong Rong happily gave up Beihai County to Liu Bei, and then returned to his hometown Qufu honestly.

Why is Kong Rong willing to take the initiative to give up Beihai to Liu Bei? Is it really because of Liu Bei's character?Is it because of Liu Bei's so-called descendants of the Han Dynasty?No, neither.It was because of the tens of thousands of soldiers brought by Liu Bei.Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will encircle Beihai. This is not enough for Kong Rong not to give up the city.

After Kong Rong was a sage, he was a literati through and through.It's okay to let him manage government affairs, but he is really not good at developing military affairs.Therefore, there are not many troops in Beihai County, only ten thousand.Not only are there not many troops, but there is not even a single general who can fight.Unable to fight again and again, Kong Rong had no choice but to give up Beihai County to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei occupied Beihai, which can be regarded as taking advantage of it.Don't look at Beihai as just a county, but under Kong Rong's governance these years, it can be regarded as a wealthy county.

After Liu Bei entered Beihai, he has been training his soldiers and horses, and the planner Dongshan is always with him.

In the Shu Palace, the man with long hands above his knees and a pair of big ears is obviously the Shu King Liu Bei.On the left and right of Liu Bei, there is one person standing on each side.One of these two is a black-faced man, and the other is a red-faced man.

The red-faced one is naturally Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and the black-faced one is Zhang Fei Zhang Yide.It's just that since the first battle in Xuzhou, the Yanren Zhang Fei became the eunuch Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei's temperament seemed to have changed a bit, his whole temper became very weird, and he would kill his soldiers with sticks at every turn.

Of course, Zhang Fei's eccentric temper was only for his subordinates. For his elder brother and second brother, Zhang Fei was still very considerate.

"Brother, Ma Teng of Xiliang has captured the three counties of Wuwei, Mayi, and Liangcheng. When are we going to set off? My sword is already hungry." The red-faced man Guan Yu stroked his long beard and pointed at Big Brother Liu Bei said.

"Second brother, we are no better than the Yuan brothers. The Yuan brothers are four generations and three fathers, and their family background is rich. To them, losing this battle is nothing more than a wound, but to us, it is fatal."

"We must be cautious before we do it. I mean we will be the last to do it after the Yuan brothers do it." Liu Bei said softly.

I have to say that Liu Bei is a real dog.After owning the land of Beihai County, he actually kept going without fighting.Now, several families joined forces to attack Cao, but he was able to hold his breath and be the last one to send troops.

You know, although it is safer to send troops last.But again, risks and benefits coexist, and the person who sends troops first will definitely be able to take the biggest profits.The harvest of sending troops later will inevitably be much less than that of sending troops first.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always been obedient to Liu Bei's words. Since Liu Bei is determined to be the last to send troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't say much.

At the same time, Yuan Shu, king of Qi in Shouchun, also began to deploy troops, preparing to attack Cao Cao from the flank.

The image of the Yuan brothers to the outside world has always been that they are at odds with each other. Although they have not reached the point of life and death, they are still very different.However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just for outsiders to see.To put it bluntly, this is the character design established by the Yuan brothers.

As the saying goes, the big tree attracts the wind, if the Yuan brothers are a family now, then there is no doubt that the Yuan family is the biggest force in the world.So now the target of the mass attack is not Cao Cao, but the Yuan family.

It can be said that the aristocratic family is well versed in the principle of not putting eggs in one basket, and supporting two forces at the same time, this method can be described as a normal operation.

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, to put it bluntly, they are all products supported by the Yuan family.The two brothers may quarrel over small matters, and the brothers may really be a little dissatisfied with each other and feel a little disharmonious.However, when it comes to major matters, the two brothers absolutely must consider the interests of the family first.

Yuan Shu's territory is not that big compared to Yuan Shao's, and his territory is even smaller than Li Chen's Xuzhou.However, these counties of Yuan Shu must not be underestimated.These counties of Yuan Shu are the most affluent counties in the entire world, with a population of more than 200 million.

Among the princes in the world, the richest one can be said to be Yuan Shu.It's hard to say whether soldiers are good or not, but this food is definitely enough.Moreover, Yuan Shu's army is also the best equipped among the princes in the world.

Yuan Shu claimed to have 40 troops, of course, this so-called 40 troops must be a bit false.In fact, Yuan Shu's military strength was no more than 10,000+ at most.Although the military strength is only 10,000+, most of Yuan Shu's territories border on his brother Yuan Shao.There are not many places that need to be stationed for defense, so Yuan Shu can use quite a lot of troops.

At this moment, Yuan Shu has mobilized an army of 15, with general Ji Ling as the main general, waiting for Cao Cao's army to be held back by Ma Teng, and give him a look back.
