Chapter 159: The Princes' Different Reactions
(Recommended reading: The 50,000 army of Yuzhou was ambushed by the 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' on the way to the rescue, the whole army was annihilated, and the assassin Shi-Kong Ling also died in the chaos, the news came, and the princes of the world were all shocked, but then the reactions were different!
Some people looked up to the sky and laughed, some people cried bitterly, some people fell into the well, and immediately sent troops to Yuzhou, wanting to cut a large piece of fat down, and some people were in a dilemma, not knowing what to do......
It was Cao Cao who looked up to the sky and laughed.
Seeing Yu Ban and Cao Xiu escorting a large number of prisoners, as well as heavy grain and grass into the camp, the Cao army was overjoyed, and the morale that was originally a little low suddenly burst to the top, and the soldiers chanted the slogan of 'stepping on Xuzhou and capturing Tao Qian alive', and the sound shook for dozens of miles......
People first praised Xiao Yat's bravery, not only won more with less, but also captured so much grain and grass, which can be regarded as solving the urgent need of the whole army; Then everyone began to compliment the lord Cao Cao for his knowledge, at that time, almost all the generals in the camp were against taking the risk of sending troops, it was Cao Cao who overrode public opinion, not only supported Xiao Yi's battle plan, but also sent out the few cavalry in his hands, it is precisely because of this full support that there is today's big victory!
As the saying goes, there is a Ming lord first, and then there are famous generals, Han Xin, who was born as a poor boy, became the commander of the three armies after meeting Liu Bang, and Wei Qing, who was born as a slave, became a famous general who swept the Huns because of the appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
While feasting and rewarding the three armies, Cao Cao couldn't help but set his sights on Yuzhou in the southwest, the assassin Shi - Kong Ling was dead, and 50,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, so that the vast territory of the six counties and ninety-two counties of Yuzhou became ownerless fat, who doesn't want to pounce on it and take a bite!
"The lord is thinking about the six counties of Yuzhou?" Guo Jia is worthy of being the top strategist in the army, and he guesses Cao Cao's mind clearly!
"Haha! …… Fengxiao is not a 'ghost talent', knowing the heart of the old man, six counties and ninety-two counties in Yuzhou, densely populated, and rich in grain and rice, in terms of wealth is not under Xuzhou, the old man can't wait to put it all in his arms, just as he wishes! ”
Cao Cao rubbed his hands excitedly, in fact, there is another reason that has not been said, his hometown of Qian County is in Yuzhou, and now he is also a prince of the world, as the so-called 'wealth does not return to the hometown is like a brocade night walk';
"Lord, now that Yuzhou is empty, the princes of the world will inevitably send troops to rob it, even if our whole army presses it, I am afraid it will be difficult to swallow it all, but it will fall into the blood struggle with the princes, lose strength, and the gains outweigh the losses...... it is better to concentrate and take Xuzhou into your hands It is more affordable, and Xiao Lang has already taken the 'Yuzhou Thorn History Great Seal' all the way to kill, with him to shoot, he will inevitably tear off a large piece of fat!
"Okay, then attack the city with all your strength tomorrow and take Xuzhou!" Cao Cao nodded, with Xiao Yi's move, the six counties of Yuzhou will definitely have his share!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
It was Tao Qian who cried bitterly, 50,000 reinforcements, the whole army was wiped out without even showing his face, and even his friend Yuzhou Thorn Shi-Kong Ling also died, such a heavy blow almost made him lose the confidence to resist, fortunately, Mi Zhu was on the side to comfort him, so he barely cheered up!
"Xuzhou City is high and deep, the money and food are sufficient, the adults are familiar with the hearts of the people, the soldiers and the people are willing to fight to the death, although the Cao army is strong, I can't wait for ...... in a short time, and besides, Kong Rong has contacted the Plains Order-Liu Bei, the two families are together, and they are rushing south to help in the starry night, just waiting for them to arrive, under the internal and external attacks, why worry about the Cao army not retreating?" While Mi Zhu comforted Tao Qian, he was also encouraging himself, if Xuzhou was lost, his family would inevitably be unprotected, so he had to stick to it no matter what!
Also, calculate the time, which of your friends should also arrive in the state, right?
If even Kong Rong and the others can't retreat from Cao Jun, then they can only count on him, Gongtai, don't let me down!
The princes like to fall into the well of nature is naturally Yuan Shu, after the princes asked Dong, he followed the strategy of 'Zimu Gongzi', and took the lead to occupy the richest territory in Huainan, after several years of operation, now it is enough to be a soldier and a powerful party!
Especially after the death of Sun Jian, the "Jiangdong Tiger", no one in the Huai and Yang areas can no longer compete with him, for a time Yuan Shu can really be said to be complacent, this time after hearing the news of the emptiness of Yuzhou, he immediately sent the general Ji Ling to command 50,000 troops to go straight to the counties of Runan, and it is bound to grab a piece of fat down.
Now, there is territory, money and food, and there is no shortage of fame, his Yuan family's 'four worlds and three dukes', no one can compare, even the little emperor is not in the eyes of his Yuan Shu, but there is one thing that makes him never forget, there was a rumor that the 'heirloom jade seal' fell into the hands of Sun Jian, and Sun Jian will naturally leave it to his son Sun Ce after his death, and now this kid is listening to it under his own account, but Yuan Shu has tried it several times, but Sun Ce has not revealed his tone at all, which makes him very anxious!
"Come on, invite the 'Purple Wood Boy'!" At the critical moment, Yuan Shu thought of his own think tank again, and when it came to the idea of yin damage, there was no one in the world who was his opponent!
"Well, the jade seal of the country, the old man is bound to win!"
"See Ming Gong!" Zimu Gongzi is still as low-key as ever, not showing mountains, not dewy, not seeking official positions, not wanting money, and even the singers and beauties that Yuan Shu rewarded him have resigned, so that even many people in Yuan Jun do not know the existence of his 'chief strategist'.
Compared with the mighty princes and Xiao Yi, who is famous all over the world, Zimu Gongzi is undoubtedly more forbearant and more dangerous!
"Zimu, now that Xu and Yu are in chaos, General Ben also wants to intervene and get a few cities back, is there any good way?" Yuan Shu did not hide his greed in the slightest.
"Huh! Please be relieved, there is General Ji Ling in Yuzhou, and there will naturally be a harvest, but now Xiao Yi is also there, this person has always been cunning and changeable, and he is very good at using soldiers, and please urge General Ji Ling to be careful! Speaking of Xiao Yi, Zimu Gongzi's eyes finally flashed with a trace of waves, and he didn't dare to forget the hatred of destroying his family and destroying his family.
"As for Xuzhou, Duke Ming can first repair a letter to Cao Cao, and say that he is willing to raise troops to help him avenge his hatred, but after the matter is completed, he will divide the land of Xuzhou equally!"
"Oh? Do you mean that you want me to send troops to help Cao? "Yuan Shu didn't have a good impression of Cao Cao, this person suppressed the two brothers very much back then, but he was very tempted by half of Xuzhou.
"No, Duke Ming can then repair another letter to Xuzhou Thorn Shi-Tao Qian, saying that he is willing to help him fight back the Cao army, but after the matter is completed, he will ask for 300,000 grains of rice and 20,000 stones of refined salt as a reward;" Zimu Gongzi stretched out his hands and made a gesture of left and right, "Then ask Sun Ce to take a team of men and horses to garrison the border of Xuzhou, sit and watch the success or failure, if Cao Cao wins, we will have half of Xuzhou; If Tao Qian wins, he will have a large amount of grain, grass and refined salt; If God blesses them and let them fight for a lose-lose situation, hehe......, then let's eat it all, both Xuzhou and grain and grass, anyway, they won't suffer a loss!
"Good! …… It's a good way, it's really killing three birds with one stone! Yuan Shu slapped his thigh happily, and such a yin strategy was also thought of by Zimu Gongzi, "But, what if the two of them are invincible and undefeated, and finally retreat?" ”
"Huh! If that situation really happens, the lord will kill Sun Ce, who led the troops, in the name of being unfavorable! Zimu Gongzi's pink little face couldn't help but show a hint of a sinister smile, "In this way, the lord can get the jade seal of the country, isn't that something you have always dreamed of?" ”
"High! It's really high! Hearing the end, even Yuan Shu couldn't help but shudder, Zimu Yin is damaged, unparalleled in the world!
The last dilemma is Jingzhou Mu - Liu Biao, sitting on the land of Jingxiang Nine Counties, and as a member of the Han family, Liu Biao is also a leader among the princes, but unfortunately, this Zhou Mu is an embroidered pillow, which is useless, and will always make a mistake at every critical moment, hesitating!
It has been two days since I learned the news of the emptiness of Yuzhou, and Liu Biao has been worrying about the map for the past two days.
"Send troops, I'm afraid that others will say that you have fallen into the well, which will damage the prestige of the Han clan!"
"Don't send troops, he really cares about the large territory of Yuzhou, where it is fat and oily!"
"Send troops, I'm afraid of fighting with other princes, whether it's Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, it's not easy to provoke!"
"Coco don't send troops, once they get the land of Yuzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come to fight the idea of their own nine counties of Jingzhou......"
"Hey! …… Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! ”
