The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 225
The next day, after Li Yuan bid farewell to Cai Wenji and others, he took Xu Zhu and [-] Huwei soldiers to Yangdi, Yingchuan.

At this time, Sima Hui was attending classes with the students in the academy. Sima Hui was famous far and wide, and many people came to study, including Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu. The three were good friends, and they often discussed the general trend of the world in private.

"Everyone, today I won't talk about literature in books. I'm going to give you some questions to test you. I want to apply what I've learned. I let you read a lot of books, but I don't know if you can master them. , that's just a nerd."

Sima Hui smiled at the group of disciples. He is over 50 years old this year, but he doesn't look old. He has a ruddy complexion, slightly white hair, and piercing eyes.

"Teacher, please come up with a question." Xu Shu cupped his fists and said respectfully.

"Nowadays all the heroes in the world are fighting, Ma Teng and Han Sui divide Xiliang equally, Li Jue and Guo Si sit in Chang'an, Yuan Shao is about to unify Hebei, Cao Cao dominates Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Li Yuan sits in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, Liu Biao and Hu occupy Jingzhou, Jiangdong Sun Ce is ambitious, Yizhou Liu Zhang monopolizes the land of abundance, and Jiaozhou Shihui dominates one side, who do you think will be the ultimate ruler of the world?" Although Sima Hui did not become an official, he has a very thorough view of the general trend of the world.

There was a long silence, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Why, you have studied with me for so long, don't you have your own views on the general trend of the world?" Sima Hui looked at the crowd and said.

"Ahem, since you don't want to say anything, let me, Cui Zhouping, start the conversation." Cui Zhouping came out and cleared his throat, "In my opinion, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​are the most powerful princes in the world today."

Cui Jun, a native of Yingchuan, named Zhouping, is known as the Four Friends of Zhuge with Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan and Xu Yuanzhi, and their relationship is very good.

Many people agree with Cui Zhouping's opinion after hearing the words, and it is indeed the case. Yuan Shao defeated the powerful Gongsun Zan. You must know that Gongsun Zan has a white horse righteous follower under his command, and his strength is definitely stronger than that of ordinary princes, but Yuan Shao can still defeat him. Defeating him proves that he is stronger than Gongsun Zan.

"Why Zhouping is optimistic about Yuan Shao, can you explain to me?" Sima Hui looked at Cui Zhouping.

"As you all know, Gongsun Zan guarded Beiping all the year round, and he often fought with the foreign Xiongnu. He defeated the Xiongnu many times. It can be seen that his ability to lead troops in battle is very strong. The Baima Yicong he trained is even more powerful in the world. Zhang Liao, the famous general under Lu Bu, could not do anything to him, but even such a powerful person was defeated by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao unified Hebei, which shows that Yuan Shao has the appearance of a hero."

Cuizhou Ping paused for a moment, then continued: "Furthermore, Yuan Shao has numerous advisors and generals, far superior to the other princes. Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Zhang He and Gao Lan are known as the Four Courts of Hebei. These four generals fought bravely and commanded troops well. Deal with it; Yuan Shao also has four great counselors under his command, Tian Feng, Jushou, Shenpei and Fengji are all top counselors in the world, and with them four counseling Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is hard to defeat."

"Zhouping is right, and I think so too." Shi Guangyuan also stood up. He didn't want Cui Zhouping, a good friend, to steal the limelight, so he took over the words and continued, "After Yuan Shao unifies Hebei, he will definitely go south. The first opponent is Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou and Qingzhou, his strength is much worse than that of Yuan Shao. According to my estimate, he has at most 6 to [-] troops, which is far behind Yuan Shao. It will reach more than [-], and Cao Cao will definitely not be able to compete."

"Although Zhouping and Guangyuan's words are reasonable, I don't think Cao Cao will lose to Yuan Shao." Meng Gongwei disagreed.

"Why does Gongwei think that Yuan Shao will lose to Cao Cao?" Sima Hui's eyes lit up, as if Meng Gongwei's words had given him a hint of surprise, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also looked at Meng Gongwei in surprise.

"As we all know, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are next to Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Yuzhou and Xuzhou are Li Yuan's territories. Li Yuan and Cao Cao have a very good relationship. They even defeated Lu Bu and Liu Bei together. It can be said that they are an alliance. If Cao Cao is in trouble He will definitely ask Li Yuan for help, because of the relationship between Li Yuan and Cao Cao, he will definitely help, and Li Yuan is a smart person, he must know that if Cao Cao is defeated by Yuan Shao, he will become Yuan Shao's next target, so I'm sure Li Yuan I will definitely join forces with Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao."

Meng Gongwei's remark caused a lot of discussion. Many people who originally agreed with Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan felt that Meng Gongwei was right. A Cao Cao might not be Yuan Shao's opponent, but adding Li Yuan would not necessarily be the case. After all, in recent years Li Yuan is invincible and never defeated. If he really joins forces with Cao Cao, it will be very difficult for Yuan Shao to defeat them.

"Although Gongwei's words are reasonable, your intelligence is a little behind." Xu Shu smiled.

"Lag? Where is the lag?" Meng Gongwei asked.

"According to the latest information I have obtained, Yuan Shao presented Li Yuan with five thousand high-quality horses, and asked Li Yuan not to join forces with Cao Cao when he went south. Li Yuan has already agreed to this matter, and Yuan Shao's horses have also been sent to Li Yuan. In Yuan's hands, Li Yuan's character is not a person who does not trust his words, that is to say, Li Yuan will not help Cao Cao when Yuan Shao goes south." Xu Shu's words completely overturned Meng Gongwei's conclusion.

"There is still such a thing!" Meng Gongwei turned to look at Sima Hui, "Teacher, is what Yuan Zhi said true?"

"I've also heard about this, it should be true." Sima Hui nodded.

"If this is the case, then Cao Cao has no chance of winning. Alas, Li Yuan gave up cooperating with Cao Cao for the mere sake of [-] horses. Once Cao Cao is defeated, he will not be able to resist Yuan Shao's attack." Meng Gongwei sat down disappointed. He was very optimistic about Li Yuan, but Li Yuan's move disappointed him. He admitted that he had overestimated Li Yuan.

"Does Gongwei think that if Li Yuan doesn't join forces with Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will lose to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will go south after defeating Cao Cao, and then defeat Li Yuan?" Xu Shu asked his friend.

"Yes, neither Li Yuan nor Cao Cao can fight Yuan Shao alone, only by joining forces can we have a chance of winning."

"Hahahaha, that means Gongwei also agrees with me." Cui Zhouping was a little complacent, now he, Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei all believed that Yuan Shao would eventually rule the world.

"But I don't think so." Xu Shu's point of view is different from Cui Zhouping's.

"Yuanzhi, what do you think?" Sima Hui was also very happy to see his disciples so active. He finally had no white teaching in the past few years.

"I agree with half of Gongwei's views, and I disagree with the other half."

"Which half do you agree with, and which half do you disagree with?" Everyone looked at Xu Shu curiously.
