Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254 Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoer

"How many soldiers are there in Beiman Mountain?"

"The exact number of troops is still not very clear, but what we can know is that the people who commanded the troops were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. In the past, they abandoned He Jin from the sunset pavilion, fled to the northeast, and went straight to Beimang. Therefore, a lot of strength has been preserved!"

"It's them?"

The setting sun was setting and the setting sun was shining. Mu Jing was standing on a hill. His tall body was shrouded in the light of the sunset. His figure looked a little bleak. He looked at the Beiman Mountains in front of him, and his pupils were faint: "That day In the first battle, I am afraid that they will have very few troops left!"

The battle at Xiyangting was so brutal. The soldiers and horses under He Jin's command were almost wiped out. The only ones who could escape were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who saw the situation was unfavorable and quickly withdrew.

"No!"

Jiang Lu said in a deep voice: "If it was only the elite soldiers of the West Garden, there were indeed not many left, but in addition, they later rescued the Southern Army from the battlefield by taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, and confiscated the Southern Army's strength. , but there are tens of thousands of them, so don’t underestimate them!”

"South Army?"

When Mu Jing heard this, his pupils changed color slightly.

In Luoyang City, if you don’t count the soldiers and horses of the Xiyuan system established by Emperor Liu Hong later, then there are only the two armies of the North and the South defending the capital. not bad.

Back then, Mu Jing was almost cornered by the southern army.

Unexpectedly, this army was recruited by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

These two people are indeed the heroes of the troubled times in the future. Even if they haven't made a fortune yet, they still have great luck and courage to disturb the overall situation of the world, which makes Mu Jing feel murderous.

That faint murderous aura rose slowly, covering the entire chest in an instant, making both eyes turn red.

"Where are they entrenched now?" Mu Jing asked.

"It should be in this area!"

Jiang Lu opened a map, circled an area, and said: "The scouts can find out so much, but they are almost inseparable, and they can't go there!"

"What does father mean?"

"Both of them have the support of the imperial court forces behind them, and if they can win over, the main thing is to win them over!"

"What if you can't win over?"

"Expel!"

"Expulsion?"

"Ok!"

Jiang Lu nodded and said: "In today's situation, things that can be resolved peacefully will never go to war, unless it is absolutely necessary. Luoyang needs peace, and those who are in charge of the government have become lords. They can make chaos, but the lord can't. This is a test for the lord. Once the lord can't control the government, he will naturally encounter their backlash!"

"So father is sitting in the position of Taifu, but his hands and feet are bound?" Mu Jing licked his lips. After all, he still lacks experience in this political matter. Even though he has seen countless battles, he is still a little helpless. Understand the profound meaning of seeking his own government in his position.

"It's the same from ancient to modern times!"

Jiang Ludao: "Conquer the world immediately, and rule the world immediately. If the lord wants to go further, he must grasp more power and gradually eat away at the great man's country. He needs to tie his hands and feet!"

"What if I want to forcibly eat this group of soldiers and horses?" Mu Jing was a little unwilling.

"Why is your son so persistent?" Jiang Lu didn't understand, and asked instead: "A mere remnant soldier can't shake the Lord's position at all. If there is a disturbance, the people in the court will think that the Lord is aggressive, which is not good for the Lord's reputation!"

"I just don't want to let the two of you go!"

Mu Jing said: "If I could behead their heads, I wouldn't choose to just hurt them!"

"Think twice, son!" Jiang Lu bowed his head and clasped his hands in request.

"Contact them first, it depends on the situation!"

Mu Jing let out a long sigh, now no one would understand his fear of the two of them, and he couldn't say anything about it.

……

……

The night is dim, covering Beimang. The huge Beimang Mountains seem to coil up quietly under the starry sky like a supreme dragon. The outline is looming and majestic.

In the mountains, a remnant soldier camped.

This army of remnants is dominated by the elite soldiers of Xiyuan back then.

On the day of the battle at the Sunset Pavilion, He Jin was defeated, and the two fled to the northeast, forcing a bloody path, which allowed them to break out.

After that, Ding Yuan led his troops to surprise the Mushan army, but was ambushed by the Xiliang army. The Bingzhou army, the southern army, and the Huben army were defeated in succession. Among them, the southern army was the main force. In the end, it was Cao Cao and Yuan Shu who saved him.

However, although Huangfu Company broke through, they were too seriously injured in the battle, and died within three days. The remnants of the Southern Army left behind were cheap Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoren, who ate up the Southern Army and quickly recovered. less strength.

However, the subsequent changes in the situation put them in a dilemma, so they had to hide in the Beimang Mountain and wait for news.

"The food that can be found in this mountain has already been found. Although the soldiers are hunting, they are very short of necessary items such as salt, and they can't last long at all!"

"I know that too, but in the current situation, what can I do?"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stood in front of a bonfire, burning it, discussing their situation and future in low voices.

"Have you contacted Luo Yang?" Cao Cao broke off the firewood and threw it into the fire.

"People from the Yuan family have a lot of resentment towards me for sending troops to help He Jin that day, but they haven't responded to my request for help for a long time now!"

Yuan Shao shook his head: "Even if they can help us, I'm afraid I will be exiled by the family this time. A family cannot have two heirs. This is an iron rule, and it is also the way for a wealthy family to survive!"

He has been fighting with Yuan Shu for many years, he just wanted to prove his ability, let everyone in the Yuan family see that he is better than Yuan Shu, and can become the head of the Yuan family, but now he is defeated here. He felt a little unwilling, as if a fire was burning in his heart.

"I'm not much better than you. My father is powerless. In today's court, the lingering shadow left by my grandfather has long since disappeared. I have become He Jin's party again. Naturally, everyone is calling for beating!"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, and now they have become real brothers and sisters.

"Who would have thought that the situation in Luoyang is changing, and even if He Jin is defeated, there is still room for him, but he has killed a Mushan!" Yuan Shao's eyes flickered: "This person can turn the world upside down in the chaos, All parties who killed were defeated, and even Ding Yuan was forced to commit suicide to die, and he has some ability to monopolize the power, but I don't know how long he can hold on to the government!"

The aristocratic family has a wide network and the most well-informed news. Yuan Shao is still the son of the Yuan family, and everyone will save face. Even if he is trapped in Beimang, news will come back from time to time. He knows everything about Luoyang clearly.

"That depends on his ability!" Cao Cao was not too optimistic about this point. He said in a deep voice: "The new emperor ascended the throne, and his position is unstable. The princes of all parties are secretly moving. Yizhou Mu and You Zhou Mu is the clan, and holds the military and political power in Yizhou and Youzhou, if he disagrees and launches the Qin King's army, maybe this peaceful situation will not be stable for long!"

"Report!"

A soldier came up, it was Cao Cao's confidant and brother Cao Ren.

"Zixiao, what's the matter?"

"My lord, in the southeast direction, ten miles away from us, I found soldiers and horses camping, slowly advancing towards our army!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other upon hearing this.

"It can't be the Xiliang army. They are busy standing firm now and provoking us, but it is unwise!"

"It can only be Mushan's soldiers and horses!"

"He has supported the crown prince to ascend the throne, which means he can free up his hands, so he is going to deal with us!"

"Inevitably, Luoyang City is under the feet of the Son of Heaven. Those who are not in power are not allowed to set up camps and garrison troops. He has just taken power, how can he allow us remnant soldiers to lie beside him!"

The two stood up, looking at the southeast direction, their expressions became a little cold.
