Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 449
Yuan Shao blocked Gongsun Zan in Beiping, and now in the entire territory of Youzhou, only this Beiping is still in Gongsun Zan's hands.

Now inside and outside of Beiping, people are allowed to enter and not to leave, not to mention people, it is difficult for even a fly to escape.

In the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi defeated Gongsun Zan by ascending the dead first, and annihilated Gongsun Zan's ace unit Baima Yicong in one fell swoop.

Gongsun Zan is not a soft persimmon, and his Baima Yicong is also a well-known unit in the world.Although Yuan Shao had pushed Gongsun Zan to a desperate situation, his losses were not small.

Beiping is the base camp of Gongsun Zan, and it has been run by Gongsun Zan for many years.Yuan Shao knew that if he beat Beiping forcefully, although he could bring Beiping down, his own casualties would certainly be heavy.

Under such circumstances, encircling rather than attacking gradually weakened the morale of Gongsun Zan's soldiers. In this way, after a long time, the city of Beiping would be in chaos before he came to attack.

War is originally a matter of mutual calculation.While Yuan Shao was scheming against Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao was also thinking about how to give Yuan Shao a backstab.

Xudu, Wei Wangfu.

Now the Central Plains War has been fought for almost two years.The troops in Cao Cao's hands are no longer as abundant as they were at the beginning.

Moreover, with the death of veterans and the continuous replenishment of recruits, the combat effectiveness of the army has also continued to decline.

To be honest, Cao Cao was a little worried about whether he could beat Yuan Shao.After all, Yuan Shao is not his brother Yuan Shu.Whether it is a soldier, a general, or a counselor, Yuan Shao is much stronger than Yuan Shu.

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao was sitting in the main hall of his palace, holding a book of war in his hand, unable to calm down for a long time.

Cao Cao suffered from insomnia, and Guo Jia made it very clear that the world in the future will be divided into three parts.Liu Bei has reserved the weakest seat, and Li Chen is undoubtedly the strongest one.Now, he still has to compete with Yuan Shao for the only remaining position.

Cao Cao's face was cloudy and uncertain!
"Yuan Benchu! Yuan Benchu, you beat me when you were young, but you relied on your family background. If you are talking about real skills, you may not be my opponent of Cao Mengde!" Cao Cao muttered to himself.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can be said to be old friends, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were young.It's just that Yuan Benchu's family background of the four generations and three fathers is much better than Cao Cao's.

When Emperor Ling was the eighth captain of Xiyuan, Yuan Shao was a lieutenant of the Chinese Army, and Cao Cao was only a captain of the Dian Army, so Yuan Shao's official position overwhelmed Cao Cao.Of course, this is not to say that Yuan Shao's ability is greater than that of Cao Cao, but that Yuan Shao's family background is more prominent.

"King Wei, please see Mr. Cheng Yu." Xu Chu, who was like an iron tower, walked in from the outside and reported.

"Oh!"

"Come in Mr. Cheng Yu!" Cao Cao said to Xu Chu.

Among the counselors under Cao Cao, if anyone is talking about the most capable, it is naturally Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

Although this Cheng Yu is not as good as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu also has his characteristics.Cheng Yu's strategizing is somewhat similar to Jia Xu's, they are both the kind of people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

According to previous historical records, Cheng Yu even used dried human meat as food when the food in the city ran out while helping Cao Cao defend the city.

"Mr. Cheng Yu is here!"

"It's so late, Mister hasn't rested yet?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said.

Cheng Yu is different from ordinary literati, he is not as thin as a literati, but rather tall.

"The King of Wei hasn't slept yet, how dare Yu go to bed first?" Cheng Yao bowed to Cao Cao and saluted.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yu asked Cao Cao, "King Wei, are you worried about how to defeat Yuan Shao?"

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but "plop" in his heart. Cheng Yu's words were good, and it happened to touch Cao Cao's heart.

The reason why Cao Cao can't sleep now is because he is not low on the matter of fighting Yuan Shao!
Although it is said that when it comes to raising troops, talking about generals, and even talking about counselors, Cao Cao has the upper hand.

However, this is just human harmony.

The weather, the location, and the people are harmonious. Although Cao Cao occupies a human harmony, Yuan Shao, as the defender, also has a favorable location.

As for who can win, it depends on whose side God is on.

"That's right, I'm worrying about how to defeat Yuan Benchu!"

"The Qin army is too powerful now. If we want to compete with the Qin army, we don't have much time left!" Cao Cao sighed.

The pressure on Li Chen is really too great, even Cao Cao racked his brains and never imagined that in just a few years, this banditry has become so strong?
"King Wei, Yuan Benchu's advisers are at odds with each other. If you want to defeat Yuan Benchu, you should start here." Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.

There are many advisers under Yuan Shao, such as Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, Tian Feng...
Yuan Shao's advisers, although there are no such top advisers as Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia.However, as the saying goes, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.Although Yuan Shao's advisers are not top-notch, they are all top-notch.

It stands to reason that with so many first-class advisers under him, they should be able to give Yuan Shao a lot of good ideas.

However, Yuan Shao's counselors disagreed, and it can be said that they had their own opinions.If you say something, I will say something. If you say you want to beat the dog, I will say you want to beat the chicken.

It would be a good thing if these counselors were under the command of a decisive lord.However, Yuan Shao is an indecisive person.

He heard what this person said was right, and what that person said was good, but in the end he couldn't decide to pay attention.

"Oh!

"Sir, do you have a plan?" Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao's question was purely knowing what to do. Cheng Yu came to him in the middle of the night, so he must have a plan.If he didn't have a complete plan, wouldn't he come to tease Cao Cao in the middle of the night.

"Wei Wang, there is a friend of yours under Yuan Benchu's command. Now, he is not very successful under Yuan Benchu's command. If you show affection to him and move him for profit, he may not be able to work for you!"

"If this person works for you, it would be an easy task to break Yuan Benchu ​​here under the cooperation of outsiders." Cheng Yu said, brushing off a few strands of goatee's whiskers.

As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.Who Cheng Yu was talking about was his friend Xu You.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were young, and so were Xu You and the others.The three of them can be said to have grown up together.

Later, after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao rebelled, Xu You took refuge in Yuan Benchu, who was more powerful.However, now it seems that Xu You is not very reused under Yuan Benchu's command.

Of course, this is mainly Xu You's problem.Xu You is a drunkard, and after drinking, he is no big or small.After Xu You drank, it was convenient for Yuan Shao to call him brother and brother, and he talked about the past friendship.

But he forgot that today is different from the past.
