The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 127 Who is the heir?

In the Central Plains, the camp of Cao Jun on the side of the Yellow River in the west of Yanzhou.
"At the beginning, at the beginning, after a few months, you actually raised your swords to fight against Cao. It seems that this time between you and me, it has indeed become an endless situation. Alas, it is very painful."

Cao Cao held the military newspaper sent by the frontline scouts, shook his head, and talked to himself with a wry smile.Listening to his tone, there seems to be helplessness, sarcasm, cheerfulness, and deep regret and sorrow.

Cao Cao was silent for a while, then put down the military newspaper in his hand, looked at the staffing on the left and right, which can be called the peak of talent, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, saying: "Yuan Benchu ​​was stationed in Weijun, sharp and sharp. To the west, his ambition is not small, and he must have the intention of invading the south, I don't know what you think about it?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but Xun You was the first to speak and said, "Yuan Shao is much smarter than the previous ones, and his intention is to go south, cross the river, take Chenliu, and establish the foundation, but Is it not like the last time that he intends to go straight to Xu Du?"
"Gongda's words are very kind!"

Guo Jia still had the virtue of not being beaten, and he said with a smile: "Old man Yuan Shao wants to take advantage of his military strength this time. After gaining a firm foothold in the Central Plains, he will gradually eat away at my counties in Yanzhou. His intention is very vicious. Now Tian Feng Jushou was all demoted to white bodies. I guess that although there are many people in Yuan Shao's army, there should be no more than three people who can make such a plan for him. The most likely one is Xun Youruo, the younger brother of Xun Lingjun! He is very resourceful and looks like his brother, but it is a pity that Wen Ruo is not here because he is guarding Xudu and assisting the emperor to manage the court, if he is here, Guo would like to take a good look at the two brothers who is more capable."

Everyone couldn't help but secretly laughed when they heard the words, and Cao Cao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing bitterly.

This prodigal son is always a likable master who can't wait to beat him to death. He really loves and hates him.

"You prodigal son, don't try to play tricks here. What's your plan? Tell me quickly, otherwise, Gu will definitely attack you! Be careful!" Although Cao Cao's tone was stern, he heard it carefully. It inevitably contains the meaning of grace and trust.

Guo Jia has become quite interesting now, and he doesn't make jokes when he hears the words, and directly throws the words on the topic, saying: "Ming Gong, in Guo's opinion, this time Yuan Shao turned the direct attack into an extension, which is a brilliant move. If Duke Ming wants to defeat him, he must immediately lead his troops to the north to meet him, block him from the north of the Yellow River, prevent him from entering the Central Plains, and block his plan, so as to break the game."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said: "But if our army is fighting in the north, Yuan Shao's military strength is superior to ours. If it is steady and steady, you and the gap, imagine that although our army is good at fighting, it can't afford to procrastinate. "

"There is no need to worry about this matter!" Cao Cao finished his sentence, and then heard another loud voice on the right, which was like thunder, and it was very alarming.

Turning his head to look, it was Cheng Yu, another confidant of Cao Cao, who came out of the squad and said: "Master, I have a method. If it succeeds, I can defeat Yuan's army in one battle."

"What's Zhongde's clever strategy, please tell me quickly!"

Cheng Yu stroked the gray beard on his chin, and said: "There is a saying in the art of war. If you burn the boat and break the cauldron, if you drive the flock of sheep, you will not know what to do! In the past, Xiang Yu fought against the giant deer, and it was difficult to fight with little profit." Drum, all the troops were led across the river, all ships were sunk, the pots were broken, the huts were burned, and the rations were held for three days, to show that the soldiers would die and no one would return. Now our army is all elite, and in terms of combat power, it is far superior to Yuan's army. Now we are crossing the river. , It can be imitated by the method of the ancients, if it is embellished, the effect will be even more effective! Today Yu has a strategy called ambush on all sides. If it is worthy of the method of breaking the boat and using it at the right time, it can be captured in one battle. Yuan Shao!"

"Ambush on all sides?" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

Cao Jun is on the move!

***************
Not to mention Cao Cao's repeated suggestions, but only to mention that Yuan Shang is carefully analyzing the current situation for Yuan Shao in Yuan Jun's camp at this moment.

"Father, Cao's army is elite, and they are fighting urgently! The reason why we hold on to the battle of Guandu is because we know that our army's goal is Xuchang. Therefore, it is the best policy to choose a dangerous place and guard the throat to block it. But this time our army Chen Bing Wei The county wanted Xu Tu Yanzhou. With Cao Cao's treachery and the wisdom of his advisers, he must be able to see the key. If we really let us cross the river and attack city by city, with the number of Cao's army, it will be difficult to divide our troops to rescue each other. Therefore, they will definitely go north to meet Cao Jun before we cross the river to attack Chenliu. Since we already know the movements of Cao Jun, why should we fight head-to-head with them? The length and the strength to avoid the enemy, so there is a chance of winning."

"absurd!"

Before Yuan Shang finished speaking, Yuan Tan on the side interrupted with a sneer: "The so-called soldiers are precious and fast. Since ancient times, whenever troops are dispatched to fight, speed is the basis, and strangeness is the respect. There is no one who stays still and waits. The principle of asking others to come and seize the first attack? It is unheard of! Third brother, do you know the art of war?"

Yuan Shang smiled, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his indifferent smile: "Having never heard of it doesn't mean I don't have it, and it doesn't mean that it's wrong to do so. My art of war is not good, but it's better than your elder brother who read the art of war to death. Brother, you are outdated, you should go back and rebuild."

"You let it go!" Yuan Tan's beard and hair were all parted, and he was furious when he heard the words, and he was just about to retort, but looking at Yuan Shao above him, the word "fart" was swallowed in his stomach after all.

"Xiansi, be safe and don't be impatient, and let your third brother finish." Yuan Shao interrupted Yuan Tan lightly, turned to look at Yuan Shang and said, "Continue."

Yuan Shang smiled gratefully, and said softly: "Father, the so-called urgent things are slow, and slow things are smooth. People are desolate and unwise, and it is too late. The way to use soldiers is not to stick to the old rules, but to be unconventional. The enemy can't figure out your intentions and movements, so they can find a chance in the strict defense, just like now, it may not be the best way to fight fast with slow speed, I hope my father will think twice."

Yuan Shao nodded, knocked on the table and thought carefully: "If things are urgent, they will be slow, and if things are slow, they will be smooth. People are desolate and demented. It is a wonderful theory. It is interesting. My son, what you said today really makes my father look at me. , Make decisions before making moves, make meritorious deeds without arrogance, and face battles without being impetuous, you are worthy of being the successor of my Yuan family, and also worthy of being my son of Yuan Shao, I am very comforted for my father."

Everyone in the tent couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words. Although they all knew that Yuan Shao loved this kid very much, they had never heard such a strong praise from the overlord of the four continents.

If it's just a simple compliment, it's fine, but there is a faint hint of wanting to make him an heir
Could it be that at this moment, the lord really has the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger?

Messy thoughts, restless thoughts, and the faces of everyone in the tent became weirder and more complicated.

It's no wonder that who will be the future master of Hebei will play a decisive role in the wealth and future of everyone present. At this sensitive and critical moment, if you stand on the wrong team or go on the wrong path, it may affect not only yourself A person's wealth and life are so simple.

Compared with the others, Yuan Tan's complexion was the palest, his eagle eyes flickered, and there was a lot of meaning in it. The fists hidden in a pair of sleeves were trembling unconsciously. It was full of sweat stains, as if it had been caught in a cold.

Yuan Xianfu!You bastard!Why does God throw so many blessings on you? What are you?Do you deserve it?What are you doing!
Yuan Shao did not hide the love in his eyes at all, looked deeply at Yuan Shang for a while, then stood up slowly, and announced the final decision.

"Order the three armies, slow down the speed of the army, step by step, and march towards the north bank of the Yellow River."

After leaving the camp, Yuan Shang chatted with Yuan Xi and Gao Gan again, and made an appointment to meet Yuan Shang in the tent tonight, had a light drink, and then turned back to his camp.

Before Fang arrived at his camp, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. He turned his head and saw that Zhang Jai and Gao Lan, the two generals who had not seen for a long time, came together.

"Third son! I haven't seen you for a long time, have you forgotten the last general?"

From far away, Gao Lan's hearty smile could be heard echoing over the entire camp.

Seeing the faces of these two long-lost comrades-in-arms, Yuan Shang felt a deep sense of warmth in his heart. He greeted him with a smile, looked back and forth at the two generals, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. The two generals are a little taller than you are." Being fat and bloated is not a good sign, you should pay attention later.”

Zhang Jai nodded lightly, counting it as a gift in return, and said: "The two of us have been idle in Yecheng for several months. Apart from training soldiers, there is little to do. An Neng is not fat?"

Gao Lan laughed loudly, and said: "Isn't it? There has been no battle to fight in these few months, and I almost suffocated the last general! Every time I think about the days when I was in Zhongzhou with the third son, I am really very happy! Or During that time, there were battles, people were killed, there was wine to eat, and there were people who were bullied by us! How beautiful it is!"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "General Gao's words are wrong, we are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, but we never bully others."

The two generals looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes, and they both secretly laughed in their hearts.

Third son, it's still the same, nothing has changed.

Gao Lan changed the subject and said: "Third son, just now you are in the handsome tent, your remarks really surprised everyone, and deeply admired the general. Looking at the angry face of the eldest son, it looks like a sow giving birth to a baby." If you can't pull it down, of course it's a relief! Come on!"

Zhang Jai frowned, and said: "In front of the third son, General Gao must not talk nonsense."

"I'm not like you, but I'm cautious all day long. I just don't like him. Calling him a big son is already giving him face! I think he plotted against us in Qingzhou back then, and now I don't let me say a few words about him behind his back. ! It's so funny!"

Yuan Shang shook his head with a light smile, and said: "General Gao's personality really hasn't changed at all, but what General Zhang said is right, it's better not to say some things, after all, people's words are scary, but it's not good to hear them in my father's ears." It’s wonderful, as long as you have a steelyard in your heart.”

While the three of them were talking, they saw Yuan Shang driving a carriage slowly behind him. A man was tied up in the carriage, covered in ropes, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, wriggling his body and moaning back and forth, which was very eye-catching.

It was Sima Yi.

Gao Lan was surprised when he saw this, and said, "Third Young Master, who is that?"

Yuan Shang didn't even glance at it, and replied flatly: "It's just a newly found mascot."
