Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 342 Cao Cao: ^_^
When Xu You left Yecheng, he felt a little unhappy, but compared to the betrayal in history, this unhappiness was limited...

Yuan Shao did not order his family to be taken back, and... the surprise attack on Xu Du was indeed Xu You's suggestion!
Now Xu You is just dissatisfied that Yuan Shao has invested too little power, and expresses a little distrust, or fear.

There were originally only a hundred or so of Quyi's Great Halberd Soldiers left. After returning to Yecheng, they only drew 300 people from various armies, and this was all the strength to attack Xudu!
Originally, Qu Yi also felt that it was because of his previous performance in Nanyang that the lord deliberately made things difficult for him, so there was no need to do anything about it.

However, Xu You's ability is indeed not directly proportional to his character, and he is especially good at this strategy of stabbing people in the back!
He actually thought of a way...

That is to take advantage of the migration of the Black Mountain Army at that time. First, he mingled with the Black Mountain Army, and then he identified the Qu commander who could instigate rebellion, and directly Li Daitao was killed!

In this way, you can not only deceive others, but also obtain "cannon fodder".

After all, only elite soldiers cannot attack a city. Even on flat ground, they can't hold off dozens of Euphorbia warriors composed of all generals at one time!
The Yellow Turban Army is undoubtedly the best cannon fodder. It is low-cost and does not require training. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Warriors have the function of partially extracting manpower to "train" the Yellow Turban Army. Huang Tianji is not needed. This is why during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Yellow Turban Army flourished in all directions. so fast.

Soon Xu You found Tao Sheng, and judged that the former Neihuang county magistrate should have just wanted to "kill people and set fire to recruit security", so he decisively handed out an olive branch, and the two hit it off.

At the same time, Xu You, as a young talent who had been in Luoyang with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, naturally had many connections in the court. After joining Tao Sheng, he also secretly contacted Xu Du...

When the Emperor returned to the East, Yuan Shao's subordinates only debated whether to "hold the Emperor hostage". The honest Jushu was the "hostile emperor" faction, but Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong and others believed that after "hostile the emperor", they would lead Because of the constraints of fame, position and practical operations, he opposed welcoming back the emperor.

At that time, Yuan Shao was much more arrogant than Cao Cao - Cao Cao was still "the emperor's son" in name, and they had already discussed the issue of "coercion".

However, this did not affect Xu You's "blush talk" when he went to Xudu, acting as if he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Ai, Zhong Ji and others did not completely trust Yuan Shao, under the increasing pressure from Cao Cao, the cooperation between the two sides was natural.

On the one hand, Liu Bei promised Xu You to cooperate in sending the Han Emperor to the north, and on the other hand, he actively prepared to take advantage of the chaos to send troops from Xuzhou... At the same time, Qian Dingzhu and Wan told him not to let Dong Cheng know about this, lest he do something bad!

Xu You didn't trust Liu Bei either, but for him, it was most important to defeat Xu Du first, otherwise Ah Man would probably kill Yuan Shao to death.

In May of the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao beat Yuan Tan in a fancy way in Wei County...

Yuan Tan is also a tragedy. His younger brother died. Not long after he laughed out loud, he was inexplicably jealous by Yuan Shao.

One thing to say is that although Guo Tu has been encouraging him to clean up Fengji and review marriages, Yuan Tan's straightforward temperament does have this intention, but... he is not stupid!
Instead of agreeing, Yuan Tan asked Guo Tu to help him make friends with several important staff. Seeing that Yuan Shao was seriously ill, he was ready to take over. Isn't this what he should do?

However, Yuan Shang is already dead, how can Guo Tu still make things like this?As long as he works hard, there's nothing he can't mess up?
In this way, when the second son Yuan Xi was not favored at all and had no background, Yuan Tan's position as heir was unshakable, but... when he was leading troops outside and needed to mobilize people and resources in Yecheng, But I always feel a little more defensive!

Originally, to Yuan Tan, Cao Cao was an opponent whose attributes far exceeded his own, and he needed to be crushed by levels to have any hope of victory. With the opponent being held back from behind, how could he still have a chance to win?

Even the "Hebei generals" sent to him by Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Gao Lan, were also torn apart by Dian Wei's hands.

Jizhou, the hometown of the Yuan family, is equivalent to the combination of Wei and Zhao during the Warring States Period. Not only is its area almost as large as two of the three states of Yan, Henan, and Xu, but before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, its population was second only to Jingzhou, with nearly 600 million people. Even now, it has nearly [-] million people. Millions of households!
Yecheng, during the pre-Qin period, was an important town of the Wei State, and is now also the seat of the Yuan family...

In the Northern Zhao Dynasty and the Southern Wei Dynasty, Yecheng naturally belonged to the southern part of Jizhou, Hebei Province.

Yuan Tan lost consecutive battles, Yuan Shao was bedridden in Yecheng, and Jushou and Shenpei had another disagreement.

Jushou believed that the government should be moved north to HD to avoid the sharp edge of Cao's army, and to rely on Hebei's population and resource advantages to fight a protracted war with him.

Shen Pei wants to defend Yecheng. After all, if he goes north, who knows how Tian Feng will deal with him - in order to resist Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao handed over the military power in the north to Tian Feng and Zhang He.

Now Shenpei and Fengji's last hope is to hold Yecheng and Yuan Shao in check. They can survive until Yuan Shao dies. As for the future... take it one step at a time!
And if they leave Yecheng, wouldn't their last talisman be gone?

So the judge went to talk to Yuan Shao, whose IQ had jumped, and said that Ju Shou was persuaded by Tian Feng to have evil intentions - evidence?The evidence is Ju Shou's current proposal and Tian Feng's proposal before the war. Does it sound similar?
Your taste, your fine taste!

Coupled with the beautification of the battle situation on the front line, Yuan Shao smacked his lips after hearing this and decided to stay in Yecheng and not go anywhere.

Cao Cao also didn't expect that after Yuan Shao fell ill, Hebei would become such a loser. He threw a left hook and a right kick, but the opponent didn't even clench his fist?
And he actually stayed in Yecheng. Isn't this God's help to the prime minister?

I originally thought it was a tough nut to crack, but now it seems that within two or three years, I have hope to unify the north!
If it weren't for the winter in Hebei and the weather was really not suitable for using troops, Cao Cao even thought that this time would be shorter...

In October, Cao Cao had fought all the way to Yecheng, and Yuan Tan... had already retreated to Zhao County, preparing to fight Cao Cao farther north.

As for Yuan Shao, when his condition got a little better, he finally figured out the current situation, but he was almost taken away by the bad news!
Now he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to. At the last moment, Yuan Shao finally summoned up some courage. While sending a message to Tian Feng and Zhang He in the north, and his nephew Gao Gan in Bingzhou, asking them to fully cooperate with Yuan Tan, he went to the hospital despite his illness. A, personally supervise the battle on the tower.

Yuan Shao didn't think he could turn defeat into victory, but at least he would have to wait until the end of the cold weather. At that time, Cao Cao would have no choice but to retreat first. His body... I'm afraid it's hard to recover, but at least he had to buy some more time!

A surprise attack on Xudu?What kind of surprise attack on Xudu?
Yuan Shao himself had almost forgotten about this. After all, Qu Yi and Xu You were completely free to move. Yecheng could not help, and it was difficult for them to send messages to Yecheng!

When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao on the tower, he was filled with emotion and even wanted to recite a poem...

However, just when Cao Cao was full of ambition, an urgent letter woke him up like a bolt from the blue!
A surprise army suddenly appeared in Xinzheng, from Xinzheng to Changshe, it took half a month to break up one after another. When the letter was sent, the distance was less than [-] miles - and this letter was sent out a month ago!
