Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 261
What is the purpose of Chen Qun coming to Gongsun Zan? Chen Qun's purpose is to persuade Gongsun Zan to form an alliance with Cao Cao.But now that Cao Cao was at a natural disadvantage, Chen Qun obviously couldn't forcefully ask Gongsun Zan to send troops first.

Apart from the fact that Gongsun Zan muttered to Gongsun Zan a few times behind him, there was an expert pointing out that this kid was not that easy to deal with, Chen Qun obviously had nothing to do.

However, it doesn't matter whether you send troops first or send troops later.Gongsun Zan finally agreed to send troops, no, the alliance was finally concluded.This is undoubtedly a good thing for Cao Cao, because now he finally has an ally and is no longer fighting alone.

Of course, for Cao Cao, the best ally is actually Li Chen.If Li Chen sent troops head-on, then Yuan Shao's so-called coalition forces would be absolutely vulnerable with the joint efforts of Li Chen and Cao Cao.

However, Li Chen's current goal is Jiangdong, and he has no intention of plotting against the Central Plains. Cao Cao can't force it, so he can only retreat to the next best thing and form an alliance with Gongsun Zan.

After a banquet, Chen Qun left Beiping Mansion overnight, and went back to report the news to Wei Wang Cao Cao.

Xudu, Wei Wangfu.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he couldn't help feeling a little sorry.Since Gongsun Zan didn't want to send troops first, they could only fight in the front.I hope Gongsun Zan will give some strength when he sneaks up on Yuan Shao.

Knowing that Gongsun Zan would not send troops first, all the pressure came to Cao Cao's side.Cao Cao knew in his heart that if he was not careful, they might lose before Gongsun Zan sent troops.

Cao Cao stood in front of the military map, unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already moved.Yuan Shu's army of [-] went straight to Yingchuan, and Yuan Shao was just about to move these days.

"Feng Xiao, how should we fight this battle?" Cao Cao looked at the military map, then at Guo Jia, and asked with a sad face.

Guo Jia also looked at Cao Cao, and then at the map. Our Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao's expression couldn't be more relaxed.

What is Cao Cao's biggest problem now? The biggest problem is the lack of troops.Today there is an enemy everywhere, and defense is everywhere.Guo Jia is a strategist, not a magician, and there is no way to conjure hundreds of thousands of troops out of thin air.During the march and war, I was cooking with the cook. I didn't have many materials in hand, so how could I cook a table of good dishes.

Guo Jia looked at the map for a long time, and then slowly said: "My lord, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. We have to pick the soft persimmons. My plan is to ignore Yuan Shao first and hit Yuan Shu first."

Yuan Shu has nothing to say, and he is very ignorant of himself.He is very self-sufficient, and he doesn't know how to employ people.It can be said that the people whom Yuan Shu used highly, at least seven or eight out of ten were traitors.It is hard to say whether the remaining two or three loyal ministers are really capable.

You know, Yuan Shao is from a concubine, and Yuan Shu is from a descendant.In this era, people are very particular about their backgrounds. When the Yuan family was supporting the forces, they mainly poured resources on Yuan Shu.But gradually the members of the Yuan family discovered that Yuan Shu was really useless, and compared with Yuan Shao, he was really far behind.It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shizai slowly adjusted the angle of inclination and gave Yuan Shao a large amount of resources.

This time Yuan Shu brought troops here with Yuan Shu's general, and also Yuan Shu's right-hand man, General Ji Ling.

The fifty-jin three-pointed double-edged knife in Ji Ling's hand was extremely brave, and he was quite proficient in military tactics.He is the only general under Yuan Shu who can fight, and this is the only seedling under Yuan Shu.

Following Yuan Shu's order, Ji Ling led his lieutenants Lei Bo, Chen Lan and a hundred thousand troops to Yingchuan by water.The county of Yingchuan is an important place for Cao Cao. Once Yingchuan is lost, it can be said that a nail was planted in Cao Cao's heart.

Yuan Shu's general, Ji Ling, is not just for nothing. The most important point is that Yuan Shu has a navy, although it is not as powerful as Jiangdong's navy.But in the land of the Central Plains, Yuan Shu is the only one with a navy.

Yuan Shu has a navy, but Cao Cao does not have a navy, which shows that Yuan Shu can use water for supplies.In this way, Yuan Shu doesn't need to care about the danger of Liang Dao.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Ji Ling is not a simple person. He has played his own role and used ships to transport military rations.What is the most feared thing when marching and fighting? What I fear most is that my food road will be robbed by others.For Ji Ling, the food road is by water, which is the most reassuring.

In a blink of an eye, it was another few days.

At this time, Ji Ling's army was not far from Yingchuan.Now the prefect of Yingchuan has sent several letters asking for support.At this time, in one county of Yingchuan County, the county soldiers of each county were only a few thousand people.Relying on these thousands of people trying to block Ji Ling's [-] army, this martial art is just a dream.

Because of this, the prefect of Yingchuan County also wrote very clearly in the letter of appeal for help.For the safety of Yingchuan County, for Yingchuan County, and for the people of Yingchuan County.If Ji Ling arrived at Yingchuan city first, he could only order to open the city gate and surrender.

After Cao Cao received this half-request, half-threat letter for help.The fire that had been in my heart for a few days suddenly came up, what did the letter say.If someone gets to your Yingchuan city first, they will surrender without firing an arrow.

After Cao Cao yelled "Niang Xipi" a few times angrily, he immediately ordered people to beat the drums to raise the account, and called his subordinates to discuss matters.

Yingchuan County is an important place, once Yingchuan County is really lost.Then it will inevitably involve the deployment of the entire Cao army.Once Cao Cao's deployment is messed up, for Cao Cao, the winning rate will be even lower.

Xuchang, Prince Wei's Mansion, the meeting hall.

It didn't take long for Cao Cao's subordinates, civil servants and military generals to gather in this meeting hall.

These civil servants and military generals gathered together in twos and threes, and everyone discussed how they should fight if they were allowed to fight.If he resists Ma Teng, how should he fight.If you let yourself fight Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao will fight.

There are quite a few generals under Cao Cao. Those who can lead troops to fight and command large armies to fight, except Cao Ren who has already been sent out at this time.Then there is Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun is no worse than Cao Ren, the most important point is that Xiahou Dun is much more ruthless than Cao Ren when he uses troops.

Cao Cao's generals are mainly divided into two types, one is generals with foreign surnames such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian and so on.The other type is clan generals. The so-called clan generals are generals surnamed Xiahou and Cao, such as Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun and so on.
