I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 418 Yuan Shao is determined to deal with Liu Jian first

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were stationed on both sides of Yangren County. Yangren County is located at the junction of Songshan Mountains and Jishan Mountains. The two mountain ranges are mixed with plains, and the source of Yingshui is here.

Cao Cao's and Yuan Shao's camps were stationed at the source of Yingshui to the west and at the entrance of the plain to the east of Songshan Mountain, which not only formed horns, but also could take advantage of the dangers of the mountains to keep Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army out of the country respectively.

Lv Bu used to be a man who experienced many battles in the border counties. When it comes to the experience of commanding troops and leading troops in battle, they are not comparable to ordinary people. But the problem is that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not confronting him head-on, especially when the southern army is fighting with the northern army. , now all rely on the strength of the bow and crossbow, especially when dealing with Lu Bu. As long as it is not on the plains, Lu Bu basically cannot take advantage of any advantages.

Niu Fu saw that Lu Bu could not attack for a long time, so he also led the Xiliang soldiers in Xingyang to support the opponent.

It's a pity that even Lu Bu can't deal with the opponent, and Niu Fu is the same. In the eyes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Niu Fu is just a gift.

Relying on the favorable terrain next to Yingchuan and strategizing, Lu Bu and Niu Fu fought and failed repeatedly.

Especially Cao Cao's army, this time by fighting Lu Bu and Niu Fu, it can be regarded as a big training.

In particular, Cao Jun’s talent for drama, and Cao Cao’s is simply a peerless partner. The two have repeatedly made strange plans and planned strategies, so that Cao Jun has the upper hand. No matter how brave Lu Bu’s troops are, they are always led by the other side .

Lu Bu's nose was almost out of breath, but there is no blood pressure monitor in this era. If there is a blood pressure detection method, you can see Lu Bu's blood pressure rising slowly.

But at this time, the intelligence about Hanoi was sent to the four armies of Yuan, Cao, Lu, and Niu by scouts.

Hanoi Wang Kuang died, and Zhu Jun succeeded Wang Kuang as the prefect of Hanoi County. Liu Jian no longer had to worry about the future, and led [-] Hebei elites to go south to Sizhou.

This news was undoubtedly shocking to them.

The most affected person is undoubtedly Yuan Shao.

Wang Kuang is the most important nail he arranged in the north, and it is the grip used to clamp Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo at critical moments.

But before this handle could be used properly, Liu Jian directly killed it.

Now, Yuan Shao does not have any military alliances in the north, which can be used to support him against Liu Jian.

Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, he temporarily handed over the command of the camp to his confidants Kuai Liang and Huang Zu, and then he led a group of personal guards to Cao Cao's camp.

After seeing Cao Cao, Yuan Shao said helplessly: "The prince's day is really useless, and Liu Jian was tricked to this point. Not only did he not stop Liu Jian's footsteps, but now even Hanoi County is lost! It's really depressing!"

Cao Cao sighed: "Although I know that Wang Gongjie must not be Liu Jian's opponent, but I didn't expect him to lose so quickly."

Yuan Shaoyan said: "However, at this point, regret is useless. In my opinion, the most urgent thing is to find a way to deal with Liu Jian first, which is the right way."

Cao Cao heaved a long sigh: "That's right, it's useless to think about other things now... How did you plan to deal with it at the beginning?"

Yuan Shao pulled Cao Cao to his side and asked him to sit down.

"Actually, after thinking about it, I have a plan!"

Cao Cao cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Yuan Shaodao: "When it comes to the number of soldiers and horses that can be dispatched, you and I are no less than Liu Jian, but Liu Jian's soldiers and horses are all soldiers from the north, and there are many horses. Fighting on the plains, confronting the enemy head-on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it!"

Cao Cao thought to himself that Yuan Shao was indeed growing rapidly.

After the confrontation with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao had put away his previous arrogance towards the heroes of the world, treated everyone seriously, and would not underestimate anyone any longer.

In Cao Cao's view, this is really a good thing.

Yuan Shao was originally a wise and intelligent person, but now that he has grown in character, the foundation of the South will be stable.

As long as Yuan Shao can be stabilized, Cao Cao will be able to grow with peace of mind under Yuan Shao's shade!
After all, the most powerful enemies before Yuan and Cao are undoubtedly Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian. One is in the west and the other is in the north. They are powerful.

If you want to defeat them, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

"How about your original desire?"

Yuan Shao said: "First of all, it is natural to stop fighting with Lv Bu and Niu Fu. I should send eloquent men from Jingchu to Lv Bu's camp to talk about our interests and prevent Lv Bu from targeting us again. Sizhou's threat forced Lu Bu and Niu Fu to target Liu Jian, so we responded to the attack from the sidelines and looked for an opportunity to defeat Liu Jian... If Liu Jian loses, then Lu Bu and Niu Fu will have nothing to worry about!"

Cao Cao thought carefully about Yuan Shao's words, nodded after a while and said:

"That's true."

"Compared to you and me, Liu Jian may be more able to make Lu and Niu fearful,"

"Niu Fu was captured alive by Liu Jian, and Lu Bu was defeated in Yangxia by Liu Jian's design. The two of them hated and feared Liu Jian in their hearts. In addition, Lu Zhi is Liu Jian's teacher. Now he is in charge of commanding Luoyang. It is quite popular, but once Liu Jian enters Sizhou and hooks up with Lu Zhi, the land of Sizhou may not be owned by others."

After Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded in satisfaction: "That's true! Later when I sent an envoy to Lv Bu's camp, I also told Lv Bu about the hidden danger of Sizhou. I'm not afraid of Lv Bu Niu Fu, and I don't regard Liu Jian as my enemy. .”

Cao Cao sighed: "Multiple forces are competing in Sizhou. It is useless to rely on military strength and combat power alone. It depends on who has the best checks and balances against the other two parties."

Yuan Shao said: "If Lu Bu and Niu Fu can stop fighting with you and me, we might as well divide our troops. I will continue to resist Liu Jian, Niu Fu, Lu Bu and others here. Meng De, you lead your troops and march east to west of Zhongmou County, threatening Hanoi border,"

"Liu Jian has just left Hanoi, and Zhu Jun has just taken over. Even without Wang Kuang, his power in the land of three rivers is not stable!"

"Furthermore, Zhu Jun came from a poor family in Jiangdong, and he had a deep friendship with Sun Wentai in the past. I can send Wentai a letter to tell about Zhu Jun. Even if Zhu Jun does not turn against me, if I spread the news to Liu Jian's army, I can also make him useless. "

Yuan Shao's thoughts are still very clear now, which made Cao Cao very emotional.

Before Liu Jian's troops arrived, Yuan Shao had already started to act and plan widely.

Cao Cao reached out to pick up a writing brush on the table, and while playing with it gently, he carefully thought about Yuan Shao's strategy to see if there was anything that needed to be added or omitted.

When I was young, I heard Cao Cao say slowly, "At first, I have something to ask."

"Please tell me, Meng De."

Cao Cao cleared his throat, and said slowly, "How is the situation on the other side of the highway? There seems to be no news of him recently."

Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard Cao Cao asked about Yuan Shu.

Afterwards, he shook his head and said: "There is really no new news. It is said that he is still recovering from illness in the mansion, failed to be a director, and keeps vomiting blood every now and then."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard and narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that his illness will never get better. How long has he been recuperating in bed? He is still on it?"

Yuan Shao showed a mocking smile.

"No way, my younger brother, I know best, is usually the most narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. He was so stimulated before, and he is lucky that he didn't get mad."

"You spend half a year on illness, maybe he will have to take care of it for a year, or even more than a year... He has a bad mentality."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words. In fact, he also has a certain understanding of Yuan Shu.

When it comes to heart, Yuan Shu is indeed far behind.

"Since this is the case, why didn't you write a book on Meng Zhuo at the beginning, and ask him to help, maybe it can also be our arm?"

Meng Zhuo is the cousin of Zhang Miao, one of the eight cooks.

Upon hearing Zhang Miao's name, Yuan Shao's face suddenly sank, feeling very unhappy.

No wonder there was a gap between Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao.

Although Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao are not on good terms now, Zhang Miao was also a friend of Yuan Shao during the period of the party imprisonment, and contributed a lot of money to Yuan Shao's great cause. He had a very good relationship with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Xu You. .

It's a pity that things are different and people are different. After these friends established their own hilltops in the local area, rifts began to appear between them.

Especially the relationship between Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao collapsed very quickly.

Zhang Miao is different from Cao Cao.

After becoming an eunuch, because of his status, he was despised by scholar-bureaucrats and was often rejected by others. Therefore, Cao Cao has developed a thick-skinned kung fu since he was young. He has a strong ability to resist blows and can withstand failure. Bones are invulnerable.

Therefore, after Yuan Shao became a career, Cao Cao was willing to attach himself to Yuan Shao and let him drive him. In Cao Cao's view, it was an honor to be Yuan Shao's younger brother.

But Zhang Miao was different.

He doesn't have the experience of Cao Cao.

He has been living in the praise of others.

Zhang Miao, one of the eight chefs, is himself a leader among the celebrities in the party.

Most of the people who can get the title of eight chefs are prestigious among the scholars, not only have a good reputation, but also have a high spirit.

At least, Zhang Miao is like this.

Zhang Miao felt that Yuan Shao could only be regarded as the leader of their gang at most, and he could be regarded as the one who took the lead in doing things, but he was not the lord.

As a celebrity of one side, he can't be Yuan Shao's follower, no matter what, he has to be an equal.

But Yuan Shao didn't think so.

What's so great about Ba Chu, putting a fart in front of me?

Letting you be my horse boy is to look down on you!
The conflict between the two people was based on this, and it became bigger and bigger in the future.
