Chapter 1493: The Battle of Xuzhou (90)

Although Liu Lan was not in a hurry to start the battle of Wu County, he also knew that Wu County could not be delayed any longer, and it was delayed in the past because there were two Yuan and Cao Cao who were eyeing each other and had some concerns, but now there is no need to be afraid, as long as the battle of Xuzhou is over, the south can be completely resolved.

And when Liu Lan and Xu Shu discussed the battle of Xuzhou, Yuan Shao, who was extremely bad because of the defeat of the battle of Xuzhou, got the latest news of Xuzhou.

But in the face of the excited Jizhou generals, Yuan Shao is not good at expressing his position in public, and it is not a way to drag on this matter, at this time, Cao Cao's messenger arrived, and of course the latest military situation in Xuzhou.

The development of everything was somewhat unexpected by him, just when Yuan Shao thought that the battle of Xuzhou would end soon after Yan Liang died on the battlefield, but found that the war was still going on, which gave Yuan Shao hope of avenging Yan Liang.

He immediately called Fu Zhu over.

The night was deep, slightly cool, all the way to the general's mansion frustrated to know in his heart that at this time, the lord summoned him, there would never be anything good, either Xuzhou had another military situation, Liu Lan sent troops to Qingzhou, attacking Yuan Tan and trial, or Yuan Shao couldn't withstand the pressure, and decided to increase troops to Qingzhou and attack Xuzhou with all his might.

Regardless of the outcome, it's not good news.

The heart was chaotic all the way, even if he saw Yuan Shao, he didn't relieve it after sitting down, looking at Yuan Shao's treacherous smile, his heart was completely cold.

Yuan Shao smiled slightly: "Xuzhou Cao Cao sent someone just now. ”

Fu Zhu said respectfully: "Cao Cao must have told the general about the current form. ”

"That's the case, and I also received information from Yuan Tan, I think if we send troops again, it is not without a chance, and now Liu Lan's main forces are concentrated in Feng County, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, three of the four main forces under Liu Lan's account were dragged by Cao Cao in Pei County, if we send troops at this time, we will be able to avenge Yan Liang!"

Liu Lan has four major generals, that is, the four main forces that are commonly called, not counting Xu Huang and Liaodong Army in Liaodong, they are Guan Yu's Setshan Battalion, Zhao Yun's Dragoon Army and Zhang Fei's Xuanwu Battalion with the Mine Army as the team, and the reason why the Xuanwu Battalion is not famous is not that the combat effectiveness of this army is the weakest among the four major troops, but because Zhang Fei's name is too loud, people often talk more about Zhang Fei when they talk about this army.

This is not like Guan Yu's Setshan Battalion, because of its large scale and strong combat effectiveness, although his generals are also famous, but obviously, it is the Setshan Camp itself and not Guan Yu himself that really makes the world jealous.

This is similar to the Liaodong Army and even the Dragoon Army, the generals are very good, but the soldiers they train are even more feared, and the Vermilion Bird Army led by Zhang Fei is different.

When Yuan Shao said this, Fu Zhu already understood, and he could see that Yuan Shao was really moved, and even made up his mind to come to him, but he just asked if his opinion was the same as his own.

In fact, since he called Fu Zhu, he believed that he would definitely be able to see the opportunity as himself, but unfortunately Fu Zhu didn't feel that this was an opportunity, and felt that this was like a helpless move by Cao Cao, although he said it well now, it was dragging Liu Lan's main force, but it was not good, it was Liu Lan's main force besieging them in three ways, how long could they hold out, this is a problem in itself, if they are vulnerable, then even if they send troops south, what's the point, when the time comes, it's not to have a meaningless battle with Liu Lan?

In this world, any act of war is carried out for a certain purpose, and revenge is only an excuse to send troops, and the ultimate goal is the key.

It's like Gongsun Chan attacked Jizhou back then to avenge his brother, which was the reason for sending troops, and to capture Jizhou was actually the key to his southward march to Jizhou.

And they are now avenging Yan Liang can become the main reason for sending troops, but the capture of Xuzhou is not the key to Jizhou now, if Yan Liang is not good at making claims and sending troops to Langya, then they will be the ultimate beneficiaries of this battle, but now there is nothing, Qingzhou has gained but lost the army Yan Liang, this gain and loss, whether it is a gain or a loss, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.

But now Yuan Shao made the decision to send troops here because of Cao Cao's sentence that Liu Lan's main force was dragged in Pei County, and the purpose was only to avenge Yan Liang, so he didn't understand the meaning of sending troops, Yan Liang's revenge would have to be avenged sooner or later, but there was no need to rush at all, what should be done now is to watch the battle between Liu Lan, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu.

For Cao Cao's careful thinking, don't pay attention to it at all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Lan sent three people, but don't forget that his Chinese army, Langya Army and Qingzhou Army are still in Langya, although these forces are far inferior to Liu Lan's three main forces, but they are enough to stop them north of Langya.

No one dares to guarantee that they will be able to defeat them in the face of these troops, if they fail to take Langya at the first time and eliminate these troops, but are dragged in Langya County, then what trade-off will Liu Lan make?

Whether to give up Langya to destroy Cao Cao first or give up Cao Cao and turn to stop them with all his might, it is obviously the latter, and this is why Cao Cao sent people over, because he wanted Jizhou and Xuzhou to really launch a big war, so that their coalition forces could stay out of the matter.

Now they are the identity that Cao Cao wants to be the most, but as soon as Yuan Shao was fooled by him, he wanted to give up such a role of watching the fire from across the strait and be the vanguard, this kind of decision is unwise.

He had to advise the lord to give up such thoughts.

The analysis of the frustrated professor cannot be said to be in place, but at least let Yuan Shao start to think seriously, war has always been just a continuation of politics, this time in fact, Yuan Shao was killed, when Liu Lan sent people back, Yuan Shao was angry and had no temper, just as Frustrated Professor said, on the big picture, or politically, we have already achieved Qingzhou without a single soldier, so then use force, unless there is a real opportunity, otherwise it is unwise to rashly send troops and provoke war.

If it weren't for the fact that there was Yuan Tan behind this, he would have wanted to punish all these people who instigated Yan Liang to send troops one by one, but the identity of Yuan Tanyan's eldest son, coupled with Yuan Shao's lack of interest in him, would have avoided these things as much as possible, but Guan Yu and Yuan Tan's affairs could have been avoided, but this battle Yan Liang started rashly and sent troops without asking for instructions, which was obviously against the overall situation of Jizhou.

People are now using this as an excuse, although they did not ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but also expressed their helplessness, in this case, it can be said that Xuzhou has done a reasonable and well-founded face, but they can't say it in a reasonable way.

But even if Yuan Shao protects the calf, in fact, in Jizhou, there are still people who think that Yan Liang is completely to blame, he is stupid, if he can wait a little longer, when Liu Lan and Cao Cao really fight inextricably, or wait for the three main forces to confront Cao Cao in Peixian before sending troops, then what will be the situation in Xuzhou now?

If it weren't for the several major generals in Xuzhou, especially Wen Chou, who were shouting to avenge Yan Liang, Yuan Shao would have really suppressed this matter first, but now that Cao Cao's people arrived, he felt that the opportunity had come, but such an analysis made him feel as if it was really not worth sending troops just to take revenge.

Is it worth being at ease, at least they don't have much benefit from capturing Xuzhou now, and even some gains outweigh the losses. When the time comes, counting Qingzhou and Xuzhou, such a large area, will it be guarded?

Guard, it may make Jizhou's troops stretched, and if you don't defend it, it may become someone else's territory at any time, this truth Yuan Shao will not understand, Yanzhou used to have seven or eight counties are not all his Yuan Shao's, but later, one by one, either against him or out of him, even the most trusted Cao Cao has pulled up the mountain by himself, this is the key to no force control, and in the end it will only become a wedding dress for others.

This lesson Yuan Shao will not understand.

"Then this matter will be slowed down." Yuan Shao was persuaded by the frustration again, thinking about it, it didn't make much sense to attack Xuzhou, and just like the frustration said, the Langya army Kaiyang City has been based on Zang Ba since the Yellow Turban period, and has been built and reinforced, and has experienced the Liu Lan period, under the governance of Xu Fang, the Langya governance has become a military town, the city is high and the pool is deep, and it is completely one

Fortified City, Yan Liang didn't capture it for five days at that time, if they sent troops, they might encounter the same trouble, and if they were intercepted in Langya again, it was completely reasonable, but once such a thing really happened, then what should we do? ”

"Do you want to continue the assault?"

Over the years, they have fought countless battles with Liu Lan, although they have won and lost each other on the battlefield, but in terms of the entire campaign and strategy, they are out of extreme disadvantage, if they fail to take Langya, but fall into Langya City, when Liu Lan is unwilling to transfer more people back, it will be dangerous for them.

But correspondingly, it has become to relieve Cao Cao, and even in the end, it may evolve into Liu Lan directly giving up Cao Cao and fighting with our army with all his might.

Although the frustration sent the lord to Cao Cao, the intention was already very obvious, not to mention that Yuan Shao was fooled by Cao Cao since he was a child.

If the two were still friendly before, he didn't care about these gains and losses, but now it's different, the things that Cao Cao did to him after his wings hardened, not to mention that he didn't have awe, and he didn't even take him in his eyes at all, in this case, he was so likely to send troops for Cao Cao to get out of trouble?

Now that I think about it, Cao Cao's so-called benefits seemed really tempting before, but now it is really nothing remarkable, and it is even very common.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was pondering, he had no choice but to succeed by himself, so he said: "In fact, the general's current mood is also understandable, and General Yan Liang's hatred is not only every Jizhou general, including the humble position, but also the soldiers and murder weapons, they can't ignore everything because of a momentary impulse, this is not what they should do, not only did they not think about the lord, but they were more like they were embarrassment."

The lord thinks about the overall situation, and the world is not chessboard, while they think about personal gains and losses!

Guard, it may make Jizhou's troops stretched, and if you don't defend it, it may become someone else's territory at any time, this truth Yuan Shao will not understand, Yanzhou used to have seven or eight counties are not all his Yuan Shao's, but later, one by one, either against him or out of him, even the most trusted Cao Cao has pulled up the mountain by himself, this is the key to no force control, and in the end it will only become a wedding dress for others.
