Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 8 Arrow on the Bow Section 4

Chapter 8 Arrow on the Bow Section 4 Xu Yu ** naked threat Cao Cao. Move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and Lord Yuan will help you persuade Yuan Shu to quit, otherwise...... Xu Yu this

"Otherwise" is very simple, if you don't send the Son of Heaven to us, we will help Yuan Shu swallow you in one bite.

Now Xu Yu had countless reasons to move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and Cao Cao could hardly find any reason to keep the Son of Heaven by his side.

Liu Biao also stood up at this time, and he supported the Son of Heaven to move to Luoyang. The main purpose of his stay in Yanzhou to help Cao Cao fight against Yuan Shu was to threaten Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to immediately express his attitude, whether to support Yuan Shu's rebellion and plot to usurp, or to maintain Han Zuo's revitalization of Sheji.

After the Battle of Jizhou, Yuan Shao's goal had been achieved. Hebei was hit hard, Cao Cao's three alliances had broken down, and Yuan had an absolute advantage in power.

Now as long as Yuan Shao continues to hold high the banner of Zhongxing, as long as Yuan Shu takes a step back appropriately, then Cao Cao has to bow his head.

As for Liu Biao and Liu Bei, starting from the maintenance of Hanzuo and the revitalization of Sheji, they can only stand on Yuan Shao's side, resolutely support Yuan Shao, and everyone work together to resist Hebei.

Now Yuan Shao's attitude has indicated that he wants to take the Son of Heaven to Luoyang to revitalize the Han Sheji, so Liu Biao has no choice at this time.

Liu Biao stood up in support of Yuan Shao, which was tantamount to telling Cao Cao that if you did not agree to move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, even if you temporarily defeated Yuan Shu, you would not be able to recapture the entire Yanzhou due to lack of financial support.

Liu Biao stood up, and Liu Bei, as a relative of the Han family, could not help but make a stand. From the current difficult situation, from the perspective of maintaining Han Zuo, Liu Bei had no choice but to persuade Cao Cao to send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang.

Cao Cao was cornered. Now Yuan Shu has severed the connection between Xuzhou and Yanzhou. The situation in Xuzhou is not known at this time, but it is highly likely that it was controlled by Yuan Shu.

Qingzhou was occupied by Zang Ba and the Yellow Turban Army again, Cao Cao couldn't retreat to Qingzhou to relieve his breath, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei were forced by the situation to give up their support for themselves.

Cao Cao had no choice. However, once he sent the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, Yuan Shao controlled the imperial system, and in the situation that Yuan Valve's strength now has an absolute advantage and he is in danger, will Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to occupy the Central Plains?

Cao Cao thought it was absolutely impossible. I sent away the Son of Heaven today, and I will lose my head tomorrow. No matter what, I want to control the Son of Heaven in my hands.

In this way, Yuan Shu has always been rebellious, and Yuan Shao did not dare to openly support Yuan Shu to attack him, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei could only choose to stand on their side to contain Yuan Shao to attack Yuan Shu and help them regain the Central Plains in order to maintain the safety of Han Zuo and protect the imperial system.

Cao Cao took out Ma Teng's head.

"I can send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, but I must wait until I kill Yuan Shu." Cao Cao looked at Xu You, who was pale, blinked his eyes, and smiled proudly,

"Of course, if Yuan Shao is willing to give me Yuan Shu's head. I can send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang immediately.

Xu You was so angry that he trembled, and he couldn't wait to draw his long sword and slash Cao Cao in the court. This vile and shameless villain. The most despicable eunuch in the world. Liu Biao and Liu Bei were dumbfounded, and the shock and fear in their hearts almost suffocated them. The two closed their eyes in pain, their minds bloody. So far, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still worship the same Son of Heaven. One of the two is the prime minister, and the other is the captain and general, but one of them unscrupulously kills the general Zhenxi in the court to threaten the opponent, and the other unscrupulously uses the emperor as a tool to threaten. What the Son of Heaven, what the imperial court, what Han Zuo, what Zhongxing, in the eyes of these two people are all bullshit. Ma Chao is just a twenty-year-old military general in Western Xinjiang, in his eyes, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and his father are all working hard in the same court to revive the Han Dynasty, even if he knows that there is a contradiction between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but in the face of his father's death, can he still clearly see the facts and distinguish between right and wrong? Is there any difference between the killing of my father, whether it was Cao Cao or Yuan Shao? Now even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao immediately turn against each other and fight in the Central Plains, Ma Chao will also resentful Yuan Shao even more while hating Cao Cao. It was precisely because of Yuan Shu's betrayal and Yuan Shao's encouragement that Cao Cao killed Ma Teng. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, like Cao Cao, are all enemies of Ma Chao. What's more, now that the Son of Heaven is in Cao Cao's hands, Yuan Shao will not attack Cao Cao. If he wants to attack Cao Cao, he will be a Han rebel, he will be spurned by the people of the world like Yuan Shu, and he will rebel against his relatives. For the sake of his reputation and hegemony, Yuan Shao will never turn his face with Cao Cao. Yuan Shao has always wanted to dominate Guanzhong, but Ma Teng was wiped out on the Dongguang battlefield this time, and his strength was greatly damaged, unless Ma Teng died on the battlefield, no one doubted that Yuan Shao killed Ma Teng not to dominate Guanzhong. Of course, Yuan Shao's killing of Ma Teng by Cao Cao's hand was just his clumsy plan to kill people with a knife. Everyone in the world thinks so, and Ma Chao will be no exception. Now Ma Teng is dead, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are still ministers of the same palace. At this time, no matter what reason Yuan Shao used, he couldn't explain the reason for killing Ma Teng, and no matter what reason he used, he couldn't resolve Ma Chao's hatred for him. Will Yuan Shao keep a person who is full of hatred for himself by his side? No. Even if Ma Chao is an idiot, even if Ma Chao believes Yuan Shao's words and thinks that Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao, and continues to show loyalty to Yuan Shao, will Yuan Shao believe Ma Chao's loyalty? No. Ma Chao is not an idiot, so he must kill Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao wouldn't believe that Ma Chao was an idiot, so Yuan Shao could only wait to kill Ma Chao to maintain stability in Guanzhong. The bloody storm in Guanzhong still inevitably broke out. Xu You smiled, a little grim.

"Prime Minister, you are harming others and yourself." Cao Cao laughed,

"I don't even have a small life, I still care about harming others and myself?" He pointed to the heads of the people on the desk,

"Ziyuan, did you bring this head to Ma Chao, or did I send someone to send it over?" Xu You picked up the head and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth word by word,

"I wish the Prime Minister a long life." Xu Yu walked away. In September, Yanzhou East County, Dong'a. Yuan Shu looked at Ma Teng's head and laughed wildly.

Xu You's face was like frost, staring at Yuan Shu coldly, without saying a word.

"Ziyuan, you secretly went to see Cao Aman without me. As a result......" Yuan Shu wiped the tears from laughter while slapping his thighs continuously,

"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, it's a big loss, haha......

"Enough......" Xu You was furious and rushed forward to push Yuan Shu down.

"Chen Liu still has 15,000 people, as well as grain and grass, if you want to capture the Central Plains, now is the time."

"Haha......" Yuan Shu lay down on the ground, fingered Xu You, and asked breathlessly,

"Can you call the shots? Will Yuan Benchu agree? Ha ha...... Yuan Benchu wanted to eat Cao Aman and kill me, do you think I don't know?

"Now that Xuzhou is in your hands, as long as you work harder and drive Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei to Qingzhou, then the Central Plains can be obtained." Xu You said angrily,

"Missed this opportunity. There's no way for Brother Benchu to help you.

Yuan Shu barely stopped laughing and staggered to his feet,

"What exactly does Yuan Benchu mean? He helped me like this, he didn't just want to take Jingzhou, right? ”

"It's really not good, only to break the kettle." Xu You leaned into Yuan Shu's ear and whispered,

"Cao Cao can rebuild the imperial system, can't you? Chen Wang and Liu Zhong are not only a grandson today. Liu Pet is now in your hands, you can do whatever you want. Does he dare to say a word?

Yuan Shu suddenly realized. Cao Cao now holds a Son of Heaven hostage in his hands, and if Yuan Shu rebuilds an imperial system, then Yuan Shao will occupy all the initiative in the blink of an eye. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu must fight to the death, but Yuan Shao can fight left and right, forcing Cao Cao and Yuan Shu to a dead end at the same time, so as to easily occupy the Central Plains, and may even depose the Han Emperor and establish himself as emperor. Yuan Shu thought for a while, suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled,

"Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, I really obeyed you."

"Highway ......," Xu You shouted coldly.

"Ziyuan, do you know that Sun Ce's entire army was wiped out in Guangling." Yuan Shu's laughter was a little mocking, a little sad,

"Sun Ce's army failed to move north, which directly led to the lack of troops to attack Xiupi and Pengcheng, and as a result, I have not been able to take Xuzhou so far.

Xu You looked at Yuan Shu blankly, dumbfounded. In September, Yanzhou East County, Linyi City. It's raining in the Central Plains. After nine months of drought in the Central Plains, it finally rained. Cao Cao and Yanzhou officials, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, rushed into the heavy rain and cheered. Cao Cao was so excited that he jumped like a child in the heavy rain and rolled in the muddy water until he was exhausted. Then he lay on the muddy ground and wept as if he wanted to vent all the anger and sorrow that had been stored in his heart at this moment. Liu Bei held a roll of bamboo slips and ran wildly in the crowd like a madman, screaming and roaring hoarsely like a madman. He rushed to Cao Cao, grabbed Cao Cao, and roared at him,

"Xuzhou is still there, Xuzhou is still there......

Cao Cao was dizzy with excitement, crying so darkly, he didn't know what Liu Bei shouted at him, he just hugged Liu Bei weakly, and roared with Liu Bei,

"Xuzhou is still there, Xuzhou is still there......

Suddenly, he came to his senses, grabbed Liu Bei's shoulders hard, and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say?" Xuzhou is still there? Liu Bei punched Cao Cao in the chest and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuzhou is still there, Yuan Shu didn't defeat Xuzhou, he is dead." Inside the big tent, everyone was covered in mud, and they were all wet around Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei, looking extremely happy.

It is raining in the Central Plains, and autumn planting will be implemented in all parts of Yanzhou immediately. As long as we survive this winter, the unfavorable situation will be completely reversed.

Yuan Shu did not defeat Xuzhou, Chen Deng, Sun Qian, and Zhu Zhu were still holding the city in various places, and Jian Yong was trying to open up the connection with Yanzhou, preparing to send grain and grass to the army.

It's still too late. Cao Cao stood in front of the map, his mouth was like a river, his spit was splashing, and several sons were shouting to explain the current situation.

"Yuan Highway's rebellion is like a vicious wolf with a broken leg, it looks hideous and fierce, but it is actually vulnerable. We immediately went over and beat Yuan Shu out of Yanzhou before Yuan Shao helped Yuan Shu.

"Brother Jingsheng, after we conquer Dingtao, you return to Jingzhou immediately, don't stay for a moment." Cao Cao looked at Liu Biao and said,

"Yuan Shu did not occupy Xuzhou and could not gain a foothold in the Central Plains, so if Yuan Shao wanted to help him, it was very likely that he would turn against us. After the two sides fall out, Yuan Shao will definitely take advantage of your absence in Jingzhou to seize Jingzhou.

Liu Biao nodded,

"I immediately asked Xenodu (Kuai Yue) to go back first, stabilize the counties of Jingzhou, and then lead the army north to respond. After laying the pottery, I personally led the army back to Jingzhou. I believe that Yuan Shao does not dare to deal with me publicly.

"Yuan Shao didn't dare to deal with you openly, but Yuan Shu dared." Cao Cao wiped the mud on his face with his sleeve and shook his head,

"After we repelled Yuan, Yuan Shu was angry and would definitely attack you, so you'd better go back first and let Brother Xenodu stay here and lead the army.

Liu Biao was worried about the safety of Jingzhou and hurriedly agreed.

"Order all the departments to march to Dong'a immediately, and start attacking Yuan Shu tomorrow." Cao Cao raised his hands and roared,

"Be sure to kill Yuan Shu" in September, Yanzhou East County, Dong'a. Yuan Shu commanded the army to launch a final attack on Dong'e City, but as the rain poured down, the attack was abandoned halfway.

At dusk, the scouts came to report that Cao Cao's army was coming to the east. Yuan Shu thought about it for a long time and ordered the army to retreat to Dingtao overnight.

"Urgently tell Zhang Xun, withdraw troops from Pengcheng, and join Qiaorui to take Xiapicheng first."

"Urgently tell Sun Ce to ask him to reorganize his troops and horses, and immediately cross the river north and enter Jiujiang County to prevent the Xuzhou army from attacking Jiujiang from the direction of Guangling and cutting off our retreat."

"Urgently tell Lord Xu Xuan of Runan, and ask him to raise food and grass for me." Li Ye was surprised and dissuaded: "My lord, Xu Xuan is Yuan Shao's person, wouldn't it be ...... for you to ask him to raise grain and grass for you at this time?"

"I'm defeated, is it any good for Yuan Shao?" Yuan Shu sneered,

"Don't worry, Yuan Shao is about to be in trouble, what he wants to see most now is that I and Cao Cao are fighting in the Central Plains, and he doesn't want me to withdraw to Yangzhou intact.

"Do you want to fight?"

"I definitely have to fight, but it depends on where and who is in my best interest." Yuan Shu said,

"If Cao Cao doesn't hurt this time, my life will be sad next year." Li Ye hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you think you want to send someone to Hebei?" Yuan Shu shook his hand,

"There's no need, Li Hong can't help now." In September, Luoyang. Hanoi Han Hao and Han Qiong urgently reported to Yuan Shao, the Northern Xinjiang Army began to attack Hanoi, Dangyin City was lost, and the army is now retreating in the direction of Chaoge.

Yuan Shao was shocked and urgently summoned Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others to discuss, but then Xu Yu's urgent report was sent to Luoyang.

Cao Cao killed Ma Teng, and Yuan Shu had already retreated to the front line of Dingtao and Changyi. The situation changed dramatically. Jump to
