The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 149 The Lion's Big Opening

However, Gongsun Zan still said indifferently: "Indeed, Yuan Shao is a gentleman, and he came to declare war while I was on the Northern Expedition."

"Hehe, what a fourth generation and third father!"

Guo Tu was still very patient, and said directly: "Now that things have come to an end, I will not hide from the general. Even if we don't take the initiative to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao will take the initiative to go north and occupy the entire north!"

"I believe that General Gongsun Zan is not used to relying on others. Since Cao Cao can send troops to Xuzhou, why didn't he attack Youzhou?"

"General, think about it, if Cao Cao comes to attack Youzhou, will you still be able to keep the position of Youzhou prefect?"

Guo Tu's words directly spoke to Gongsun Zan's heart. He didn't want to be under the fence, otherwise he wouldn't have assassinated Liu Yu and seized Youzhou.

Immediately, Gongsun Zan's eyes flickered, and he said with a faint smile, "You want me to help Yuan Shao just for this reason?"

Guo Tu was stunned, looked at Gongsun Zan and said, "After the matter is completed, the land of Jizhou."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gongsun Zan.

"Don't tell me that after the matter is completed, your empty-handed white-wolf tactics will be useless to me!"

"Now I just need all the three counties north of Jizhou to belong to me!"

Hearing this, Guo Tu showed embarrassment, then gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the general is willing to form an alliance with us, we will make a deal!"

Then Guo Tu turned and left.

Gongsun Zan said flatly, "Congrats, see off the guests."

Under Guo Tu's proposal, the land of the three counties was given up, and Gongsun Zan reached a secret agreement with Yuan Shao.

At this moment, in Chen Liuzhong, Zhao Feng was flipping through the recent news, with a smile on his lips.

Cao Cao just came here at this time.

"Military Master, what makes you so happy?"

The corners of Zhao Feng's mouth retracted a little, and he said with a smile: "It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing."

After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Cao Cao shook his head with a smile and said, "Military Master, I don't want to play guessing games with you, so just tell me."

Zhao Feng put down the bamboo tube in his hand, glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Master, Yuan Shao will start a war against us soon!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and now he and Yuan Shao are definitely the two most powerful princes in the Han Dynasty.

If a war really started, it would definitely be the most tragic battle among the big Han, although Yuan Shao was repeatedly frustrated by Cao Jun, and even failed in the crusade against Gongsun Zan.

But Jizhou has a lot of people and food, plus Bingzhou, its strength cannot be underestimated!

Definitely one of the strongest princes besides Cao Cao.

Then Cao Cao said with a smile: "Just fight, you will fight sooner or later, and I, Cao Cao, will not be afraid that Yuan Shao will fail!"

Now that the four states are in his hands, Cao Cao naturally has the confidence. He is only a Yuan Shao, and he is really no match now!

Zhao Feng smiled slightly: "What if Gongsun Zan also participates in it?"

Immediately, Zhao Feng took out a roll of bamboo tubes.

Cao Cao picked up the bamboo tube and looked at it. The content in it was very concise and clear. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao reached an agreement.

For this reason, he even gave up the land of the three counties of Jizhou!
Seeing this, Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, his eyes became hesitant, and then he smiled lightly.

"It doesn't matter, so what about Gongsun Zan! What does the military division mean now, let me move my troops closer to Qingzhou?"

Zhao Feng shook his head and said: "No, Yuan Shao and others will never attack from Qingzhou in this battle!"

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng and asked suspiciously: "Since we didn't attack from Qingzhou, the only way to attack is Yuzhou, which borders Bingzhou."

"The military division means that Yuan Shao and others will send a large army over here?"

After hearing the words, Zhao Feng took out a sheepskin map from one side, spread it on the table, then pointed to a location, and said lightly: "Near the official city, Guandu!"

Cao Cao was extremely shocked. Guandu is near Chenliu. Is Yuan Shao planning to take him down in one fell swoop?
Cao Cao was furious: "This Yuan Shao is so brave!"

Even Cao Cao didn't expect that it would be at Guandu. To Cao Cao, Chen Liu not only had a lot of food, but also the Zhen's Chamber of Commerce was here.

It is definitely the most important place besides Xuchang.

It can be said that it was the first county where Cao Cao made his fortune. This Yuan Shao obviously wanted to get rid of Chen Liu, so that he could not only attack Cao Cao more, but also directly attack Xuchang!

If the young emperor is captured, the remaining tricks played by Dong Zhuo and that Cao Cao will probably appear again.

No matter how you think about it, most people think that Jizhou borders Qingzhou, and the two sides are at war, and Jizhou can directly transport grain and grass.

But who would have thought that Yuan Shao wanted to attack from Sizhou and Bingzhou to take Chenliu directly, and when the battle started, his troops would be deployed in Qingzhou in advance.

If Zhao Feng hadn't said it out, Cao Cao would have dispatched all his troops to the vicinity of Qingzhou, while Chen Liu had no troops.

And since Yuan Shao did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on food and grass transportation to attack Guandu, it was definitely a fatal blow!
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Then how dare Yuan Shao do that?"

Immediately Cao Cao smiled coldly: "Then I must not let them go!"

For this kind of disaster that wants to harm him, how could Cao Cao show affection.

Then he looked at Zhao Feng and said with a smile: "I think our reserve troops in Yanzhou and Qingzhou can be used!"

Why did Cao Cao's four states add up to only about 30 troops?
It's very simple, there are tens of thousands of reserve troops in various places, and they will not be incorporated into the official team if they do not meet certain requirements.

So Cao Cao's 30 troops are all elite, and there are nearly 20 reserve soldiers!

The strength of these 20 reserve troops has far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers, and for these soldiers to wear armor to fight, the degree of training is by no means comparable to that of other princes.

The same meaning is that the 20 reserve troops can be incorporated into the official team at any time. Although it is announced that there are only 30 troops, in fact there are a full 50!
Zhao Feng smiled and said: "That's right, we only need to mobilize one hundred thousand reserve troops to garrison in Qingzhou, then Yuan Shao will definitely seize the opportunity and attack us aggressively!"

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, completely engraving Yuan Shao's thoughts in their hearts.

At the same time, Cao Jun was stationed.

"Yun Chang, long time no see!"

One person came to Guan Yu's house, seeing the visitor, Guan Yu also showed a long-lost smile.

"Brother Wen Yuan, don't come here unharmed."

The two reunited after a long absence, and immediately hugged each other.

"Haha, I have long heard that you are working for Mr. Cao, and it is a pity that I have not seen you." Guan Yu said lightly.

This time, Zhang Liao seemed to simply come over to catch up on the past, with a jug of wine in his hand, and even took the initiative to warm the wine at Guan Yu's residence.

"Long time no see, shall we have a drink?"

Zhang Liao said with a smile.

In this regard, Guan Yu was by no means a cautious person, and said directly and frankly: "Very good, very good!"

While warming the wine, the two suddenly fell silent, and then Zhang Liao shook his head with a smile and said, "Now, are you still thinking about Liu Bei?"
