Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 457 Returning to Zhongshan 1
When Yuan Shao received the news that the Northern Border Army was about to return, he was immediately overjoyed.When the Northern Xinjiang Army wanted to use the route to go to Beihai, he held his breath.No matter morally or in name, he could not stop him, and Gongsun Xu also collected a batch of food and grass from him in the name of conquering the Yellow Turban, Yuan Shao was very angry at that time.

After the Northern Border Army crossed the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shaoke sent people to keep an eye on the Northern Border Army's every move.He even wrote several letters to Cao Cao, revealing that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money, and hoped that Cao Cao could cooperate with him.It's just that Cao Cao was more insidious than him. While dealing with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao said that he could not make a move for the time being, but secretly sent his general Xia Houdun, and Xia Houyuan led more than 3000 cavalry to set off.

In fact, Cao Cao did this because he saw Yuan Shao's character clearly.To cooperate with Yuan Shao, not only have to worry about whether Yuan Shao will contribute, but also guard against whether Yuan Shao will bite back in the end.It takes a lot of courage to cooperate with such an ally, and under normal circumstances even cooperation is difficult to succeed.

In fact, Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that even if he succeeded, so what, with Yuan Shao's personality, he would definitely take advantage of it, and if he failed, he would take away the benefits that his allies deserved.Han Fu is a living example. He has been helping Yuan Shao with all his heart and soul, but in the end he was sold by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao never shows affection when he turns his face.

In addition, Cao Cao also understood that he would not get much benefit in the end. Regardless of the fact that he and Yuan Shao had a good relationship on the surface, when the benefits were really involved, would Yuan Shao take so much into account?After Yuan Shao acquired most of the land in Jizhou, it should be said that his military strength and horse power have greatly increased, but at this time his younger brother Yuan Shu asked him for three thousand war horses but was rejected. People who are not even willing to give this benefit, how many benefits will they leave? What about your allies?
So Cao Cao didn't want to cooperate with Yuan Shao at all, but Cao Cao didn't directly reject Yuan Shao.When Gongsun Xu gathered all the captives of the Yellow Turban Army in Le'an, he wrote to Yuan Shao stating that it was time for Yuan Shao to look for an opportunity to make a move. Now is the time when the Northern Army's defense is weakest and it is also the time when it is most likely to be attacked.

It's a pity that Gongsun Xu had expected that the restless princes would come up with such a move. He had already sent [-] cavalry to defend the outskirts of Le'an. After Gongsun Xu ordered all the outposts to withdraw, Yuan Shao and others had a chance to get close to Le'an.

What surprised these people was that the Northern Army who had stayed in Le'an for so long was about to return to Northern Xinjiang. Since they were returning to Northern Xinjiang, they must take all the refugees with them. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were all gearing up. Waiting to start.

Kong Rong behaved differently from other princes. He was full of worries about the return of the Northern Xinjiang Army, especially with more than 60 Yellow Turban Army prisoners. Maybe all the Northern Xinjiang Army cavalry would be dragged down.

Therefore, when Gongsun Xu conveyed the news to Kong Rong that he was leaving, Kong Rong sent another batch of food and grass without saying a word, and at the same time asked Liu Bei to lead an army of [-] out of the city to Le'an to assist the Northern Xinjiang Army to complete the migration of refugees. Work.Kong Rong did this out of good intentions, but also out of gratitude to the Northern Xinjiang Army.

After all, when Beihai was besieged by millions of yellow scarves, only Gongsun Xu led the Beijiang army to rescue and solved the problem in such a short time. It is not only because there is a court in Northern Xinjiang, but also because the Northern Xinjiang Army cares about the life and death of all people in the world.

However, before Liu Bei's 2 people arrived in Le'an, they were persuaded to stop.Gongsun Xu personally persuaded Liu Bei to lead his army back to Beihai.Because the refugees migrated away long ago, and now they have arrived in Yuyang, they don't need to be assisted by the navy to migrate.

On Le'an's side, apart from the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the [-] Qingzhou Army were selected.Therefore, there is absolutely no need for the Beihai Navy to waste this energy.At the same time, in order to repay Kong Rong in the North Sea for taking advantage of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Gongsun Xu specially sent someone to deliver a batch of seafood, including some rare sea fish, pearls, corals, etc.

When Kong Rong learned that Gongsun Xu had secretly removed most of the Yellow Turban prisoners, he was only shocked. More than 60 people were quietly transported away within a month, and nothing happened. This kind of handwriting is really rare in the world, and Kong Rong didn't understand it even if he wanted to break his head How did Gongsun Xu do it.

And when Gongsun Xu left Le'an, he was followed by many spies.Yuan Shao soon received news that the Northern Frontier Army led [-] cavalry with Xiahoulan as the vanguard general to open the way. Of course, Yuan Shao knew that this was sent by Gongsun Xu to clear the way. He had heard a little about Xiahoulan, after all. Xia Houlan led [-] cavalry to go south from Bohai Sea more than a month ago.

After the vanguard, there must be a large army migrating. Yuan Shao sent people to keep an eye on the troops behind the vanguard of the Northern Xinjiang Army. However, after waiting for a long time, Yuan Shao received the news that the next troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army were the [-] newly recruited Qingzhou Army. , The whole army is young and strong, and the Qingzhou Army maintains its formation when marching, and it seems that it has been in a state of training.

Although Yuan Shao was a little shocked, he was relieved immediately. Gongsun Xu planned to leave the old and the weak for the last migration. It seemed a good way to use the Qingzhou Army to open the way. Even if something happened to the follow-up troops of the Yellow Turban Army, the fifty thousand young and strong should be When they all arrived in northern Xinjiang, Yuan Shao felt that Gongsun Xu might be planning to abandon the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Yellow Turban Army.

Not long after, Yuan Shao received news that the next troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army were all cavalry, and the prestige of the Frontier Army was still great. Yuan Shao didn't even dare to provoke the two troops in front, let alone the 3000 Frontier Army and the There are three thousand tiger and cardinal troops, and this is the main force that Gongsun Xu defeated the Yellow Turban Army. These [-] and [-] people dared to attack the [-] Hun cavalry even on the grassland, let alone in Jizhou.If Yuan Shao dared to block the way, he would suffer a big loss.

Yuan Shao had already received news that Cao Cao's cavalry had suffered a great loss from the frontier army, and Cao Cao's cavalry was almost wiped out after only dispatching three thousand frontier troops. In view of this, Yuan Shao was even more afraid to make a move, his target was the old, weak, sick and disabled who were going to play next.

However, after waiting for a long time, Yuan Shao received the news that the Northern Frontier Army had no follow-up troops. After Gongsun Xu personally led the army, the more than 60 Yellow Turban Army had left long ago, and peace returned to Le'an.

This news almost didn't make Yuan Shao dumbfounded. He had waited for so long, but he never got a chance to make a move. The lost thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers had already disappeared.

Yuan Shao didn't believe it was true at first, how could 60 people just disappear without a sound?Even if Gongsun Xu has the superpowers, it is impossible to get rid of 60 people. After all, the road to the north has been blocked by Yuan Shaoka. If Gongsun Xu wants to arrange the refugees to leave, he must greet Yuan Shao, but now it is good. After waiting for so long, Yuan Shao finally waited until Gongsun Xu greeted him, but it was the northern army who wanted to go back, not the prisoners of the yellow scarf army who wanted to go north.

Of the more than 60 Yellow Turban Army, only [-] Qingzhou Army remained, and the rest were elite cavalry from the Northern Frontier Army. Yuan Shao had no intention of finding Gongsun Xu's bad luck. Even when Cao Cao took the initiative to send someone to contact Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao Did not dare to agree.

Cao Cao might really send troops, but Yuan Shao worried that Gongsun Xu would turn his territory upside down with so many people.You must know that the [-] Qingzhou Army were all selected from the millions of Yellow Turban Army. As long as they are given armor and weapons, they will be a group of brave soldiers.

Moreover, Gongsun Xu still has nearly 8 cavalry with a total of about [-] horses, which is even more elite than Yuan Shao's existing troops.

Of course, Yuan Shao didn't have the courage to challenge Gongsun Xu's patience. Based on his understanding of Gongsun Xu, what he had to do now was to prevent Gongsun Xu from coming to trouble him. Moreover, Yuan Shao's counselors also advised Yuan Shao not to provoke him at this time. Gongsun continued.

Since Gongsun Xu was able to take away more than 60 Yellow Turbans without a sound, why did he keep the [-] Qingzhou Army? If Gongsun Xu only had [-] to [-] cavalry, wouldn't the marching speed be faster? It will also be less hassle.This simple truth can be seen by a normal person, but why didn't Gongsun Xu do it.

Moreover, according to the information, the [-] Qingzhou Army was required to continue training during the march. What does this mean? time to train.However, according to Yuan Shao's counselors' understanding of Gongsun Xu, training the Qingzhou Army may not be so simple. The rumors of Gongsun Xu's military training on the grassland have long been known to these people. Which military training of the Northern Xinjiang Army is not based on the blood of the enemy. Gongsun To be more precise, the military training for the continuation of the body should be to kill and loot.

However, the premise of fighting and looting is that the army must completely obey Gongsun Xu's command. How can such a brutal and bloody training method prevent Gongsun Xu's opponents from being afraid? This is why Yuan Shao's advisers immediately advised Yuan Shao not to act recklessly. main reason.

There is no way, Yuan Shao can only choose to be silent, and he has to withdraw the army ambushed along the way. It is better not to make any misunderstandings at this time. If the [-] Qingzhou army finds some excuses to cholera Jizhou, I am afraid Gongsun Gongsun The continuation will only be sloppy.

It has to be said that the IQ of Yuan Shao's counselors is still very good.Gongsun Xu really had the intention to do this at the beginning, even if he would not bring disaster to Jizhou, but at least he would extort a batch of grain from Yuan Shao.Fortunately, Yuan Shao knew how to withdraw his troops very quickly, otherwise, he would have to face the provocation of the [-] elite Qingzhou army.

However, Yuan Shao was blackmailed by Gongsun Xu. It is said that it is easy to ask God to send God away, even if the Northern Army was not invited by Yuan Shao, but the Northern Army is not in Jizhou now, Yuan Shao has to pay something Only at a price can Gongsun Xu take the northern army away.This time, Yuan Shao can only say that he made a mistake in his wishful thinking.
