Yuan Shao returned to Wei County, threw down the army and let the generals return to the station, and then hurried into the city and summoned Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You and others to discuss the matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The strategists heard Yuan Shao's intention to go south, and their expressions were different. Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Judge and others are supportive. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu did not express their position for the time being, only Xu You, who has known Cao Cao for many years, saw that the lord said that he was going to copy Cao Cao's lair, and he was a little anxious. Although Xu Yu is a bit of a good person, he still has nothing to say in terms of courage and righteousness. immediately stood up and spoke: "Lord, Meng De and the lord have known each other for many years, and they have a deep relationship, with Meng De in Yanzhou, he can rely on my Jizhou barrier, how can the lord commit it lightly?" ”

Feng Ji sneered and said: "Today's chaos has been going on for a long time, the imperial court has lost its prestige, the lord's name is important in the world, and Weizhen Heshuo is at the time of building an immortal career." Lead the crowd of a state, attack the Yanzhou of the void, and capture it. Although Cao Cao is a friend of the lord, since the princes allied with the Guandong, he has repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the lord, and there are several gaps. How can you rely on it? I look at it for a long time, and it will be the harm of Jizhou. Take advantage of this opportunity, why not? ”

Xu Yu said: "The lord and the Cao family have been friends for several generations. Now that Taiwei Cao Gong died in a disaster, how could Yuan Tu instigate the lord to commit crimes? This injustice also. ”

Feng Ji smiled: "I am the minister of the lord, and I should be the lord and the lord." What is unrighteousness? If you sit back and watch the Cao family grow its foundation and threaten my Jizhou from day to day, it will be both disloyal and unjust. What does Ziyuan think? ”

In his words, he alluded to Xu Yu as Yuan Shao's minister, not plotting for the lord, but only for the sake of his old friend Cao Cao, and his ass was crooked. Xu Yu is such a shrewd person, he knows what he means when he hears it. Seeing that Feng Ji had bad intentions and questioned his character, his neck immediately turned red, and he was about to fight back, when he saw Yuan Shao waving his hand on the main seat, and said slightly angrily: "Okay, don't quarrel anymore, you just have to tell me, is it okay to attack Yan or not?" ”

After pondering for a long time, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and Tian Feng came out and said: "Lord, our army has fought many battles with the Youzhou and Montenegrin armies, and now the people are tired and the treasury is not full. Although Cao Cao's troops are out of Xuzhou, there must be generals in Yanzhou to defend him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to go down to Yanzhou in a hurry. If Yanzhou is not pacified and Cao Cao waives his army to return north, I will lose and benefit Jizhou. If you are engaged in agriculture and easy people, repair equipment, run Jizhou well, wait for the soldiers to have enough food, and then wave the army to conquer, who in the world can compete with the lord? ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he didn't like it in his heart, and he didn't speak, but just looked at Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others. As soon as he saw Ji, he knew Yuan Shao's intentions. Then he tried his best to say: "Yuan Haosi's words are fallacious. Cao Cao's pain of losing his father, this sea of blood and hatred, how can he not repay it. If Tao Qian can't be broken, he won't give up easily. If Cao Cao gets the news of the southward direction of Jizhou, he will not return to the division, otherwise there is our army in front and Tao Qian in the back, and there is no reason to be invincible. It will inevitably abandon Yan and attack Xu. And I Jizhou is a place with many soldiers and generals, although even with Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan and other battles, but the elite has not been lost, the vitality has not been damaged, especially the battle. I ask the lord to give an order to send troops to attack Yan in order to become the foundation of hegemony. ”

Guo Tu, Judge, Xin Ping and the others glanced at each other, stood up together, hugged their fists and said: "Please give the order of the lord to send troops to attack Yan in order to become the foundation of hegemony!" ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, but he pretended to be sad and hesitated: "Then Meng De and I were friends when we were young, what can I do about it?" ”

Feng Ji secretly sighed in his heart and despised it, but he persuaded again: "When the lord achieves hegemony and commands the world, make up for Cao's Keye." If you learn from Song Xianggong, you will want to make future generations laugh. ”

This matter is settled, Yuan Shao does not want to delay any longer, otherwise it will be too late by then when Cao Cao calms Xuzhou. So he hurriedly summoned Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals to come over, wanting to lead the army to fight Yan. At that time, Koji Yi had many military exploits, and he became more and more arrogant, which was disliked by Yuan Shao. It is to use the generals of Hebei this time, with the intention of not wanting to make new contributions to Liyi.

Cao Cao is in contact with Liu Bei and Tao Qian to see what benefits he can get. I just talked about two things, one is to urge Tao Qian to hand over the real murderer Cui Heng as soon as possible. The second is the loss of this expedition, Cao Cao doubled and asked Tao Qian to pay compensation. And then the rest are still testing and discussing with each other. As a result, before he could find out anything, he saw a messenger from Yanzhou.

Cao Cao saw the dusty and tired messenger in the barracks, and exclaimed, "What's wrong?" ”

The messenger said weakly: "My lord, the big thing is not good, Yuan Shao made Yan Liang and Wen Chou generals, and led 100,000 elite horsemen to attack my Yanzhou." General Xiahou was caught off guard and retreated to the border of Jibei. He sent me to report to the Lord urgently! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart was shocked, he stumbled under his feet, and laughed miserably: "The beginning, it turned out to be the beginning!" ”

Xi Zhicai hurriedly supported him beside him, and persuaded softly: "Don't panic, the lord, with Zhongde, Xiaoxian and the two Xiahou generals here, my Yanzhou will definitely be fine." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand weakly and motioned for Xi Zhi to go out. After there was no one in the tent, Cao Cao sat down on the low couch, his eyes scattered and blank, and countless fragments appeared in his heart. Scene by scene, acquaintance and acquaintance with Yuan Shao, the young chivalrous spirit, walking together, the young man is full of spirit, and he swims together. and allied against Dong together. has been going on like this for decades, but I don't know when it started, and the two gradually became estranged due to some small estrangement.

It's just that estrangement is estrangement, but Cao Cao didn't expect that Yuan Shao would attack his foundation Yanzhou at this time. He also thought that maybe in the future, he and Yuan Shao would have disputes because of differences in ideals and ideas. But I really didn't expect that Yuan Shao would take advantage of the danger of others when he lost his father to take revenge! Cao Cao's heart was really cold.

Yuan Benchu! From this day forward, you and I will break off righteousness! Cao Cao secretly gritted his teeth and swore in his heart.

When Cao Cao got the news, Liu Bei also knew. With Liu Bei's forward-looking vision and the ability to manage the rivers and lakes, the Qingzhou secret agents are not to mention the dense world, but in the Central Plains states, they are also frighteningly well-informed.

Liu Bei was also taken aback when he got the news. It's not that Yuan Shao can't raise troops to conquer Yanzhou at this time. But it is generally customary, and this kind of behavior of taking advantage of people's filial piety to attack is indeed a bit cold. At this time, Liu Bei completely understood that Yuan Shao was a complete opportunist. In his heart, some things that should be insisted on have long been left behind by him.

In the afternoon, Cao Cao summoned the generals to report the situation, and then said that he would return to Yanzhou as soon as possible. When Cao Hong got this letter, he jumped a foot high and scolded: "Yuan Shaopifu, regardless of the feelings of the world, actually took advantage of the danger of others to try my Yanzhou, which is really hateful!" ”

The generals also kept scolding. Cao Cao's face sank like water, but he didn't say a word.

In the afternoon, when Cao Cao said goodbye to Liu Bei, Liu Bei said: "Brother Mengde, but something happened in Yanzhou?" ”

Cao Cao was shocked, and he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to trust anyone at this time, how dare he tell the truth. I am afraid that Liu Bei and Tao Qian will be convinced, and then join forces to drag him in Xuzhou, and then everything will be over. So Cao Cao smiled and said: "No, since the real murderer is not Tao Qian, it is useless for me to stay here and waste money and food in vain." The army has been away for a long time, and the soldiers miss their hometown, so they return north first. For the rest of the things, please take care of Xuande. ”

Liu Bei sighed, Lao Cao is suspicious. He didn't say much, but said, "In that case, Brother Meng De will go, and if there is anything, he will send an envoy." I, Qingzhou, will be the arm of Brother Meng De. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart warmed slightly, but he didn't dare to stay longer, hurriedly got on his horse, led the army to roll up a cloud of smoke and dust, and went north. Liu Bei was left standing in place, and he returned to the camp for a long time.

Tao Qiande's Cao Cao withdrew his troops, was overjoyed, welcomed Liu Bei back to Tan, and held a banquet. After three rounds of drinking, he was drunk and said: "Xuande is a true gentleman, after a hundred years, my son's talent is not enough to take charge of Xuzhou, and Xuande can be entrusted with great things." ”

During the banquet, Liu Bei and Tao Qian's ministers were shocked when they heard this.
