Earlier, Cao Cao sent Zang Ba to lead elite troops from Langyu into Qingzhou, occupy Linzi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places, contain Yuan Shao, consolidate the right flank, and prevent Yuan's army from attacking Xudu from the east. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao led his troops into Liyang, Jizhou, and ordered Yu Ban to lead 2,000 cavalry to guard Yanjin, an important ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River, and assisted Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, who was guarding Baima, to prevent Yuan's army from crossing the river and driving south.

At the same time, the main force was fortified in the area of Guandu to block Yuan Shao's attack from the front.

At the same time, Cao Cao also sent people to pacify Guanzhong and win over Liangzhou to stabilize the flanks.

Judging from the above arrangements, the strategic policy adopted by Cao Cao was not to divide troops to guard the south bank of the Yellow River, but to concentrate troops, hold key passes, focus on fortification, and wait for work at leisure, and strike at the rear.

Yuan Shao also reacted, first sending Yan Liang to attack Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun in Baima, in an attempt to seize key points on the south bank of the Yellow River to ensure the main force crossing the river.

In April, in order to gain the initiative and win the first battle, Cao Cao personally led his troops north to relieve the siege of Baima.

At this time, Xun You thought that Yuan Shao had many troops, and suggested that Shengdong attack the west, disperse his forces, first lead troops to Yanjin, cross the river in disguise to attack Yuan Shao's rear, so that Yuan Shao divided his troops to the west, and then sent light cavalry to quickly attack the Yuan army attacking Baima, and if he was not prepared, he would definitely be able to defeat Yan Liang.

Cao Cao adopted this suggestion, and Yuan Shao really divided his troops to Yanjin.

So, Cao Cao took the opportunity to ride lightly, sent Zhang Liao and Guan Yu as the vanguard, and rushed to the white horse.

Guan Yu quickly approached Yan Liang and Wen Chou's Chinese army, rushed into the army of ten thousand to kill Yan Liang and capture Wen Chou, and returned with a great victory, Yuan Jun thought that the other party was the god of war in the sky, and was instantly defeated, trampling on each other and killing countless people.

After Cao Cao relieved the siege of Baima, the people who had migrated Baima retreated westward along the Yellow River.

Yuan Shao lost Yan Liang and Wen Chou, was furious, and desperately led the army across the river to pursue, and the army reached the south of Yanjin, and sent the generals Wen Chou and Liu Bei to continue to lead the troops to pursue Cao's army.

Cao Cao had only 600 cavalry at that time, stationed under Nanhan, while Yuan's army reached 5,000 or 6,000 cavalry, and infantry was still following behind.

Cao Cao had an idea, ordered the soldiers to unsaddle and release the horses, and deliberately discarded the baggage beside the road.

Cao Cao saw that the Yuan army was in a mess, and there were even people who slashed each other because of the competition for property, so he ordered a sudden attack on the left and right, defeated the Yuan army in a battle, and successfully retreated to Guandu.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both famous generals in Hebei, but they were beheaded in a battle, and the sharpness of Yuan Shao's army is about to reach the bottom.

"Guan Yu is so powerful!" After Yuan Yun read the battle report, he couldn't help but exclaim, startling Zhen Zhen on the side.

glaring at Yuan Yun fiercely, Zhen Zhen beckoned his subordinates to bring tea to Invincible.

Invincible drank it in a big gulp, wiped his mouth, and then continued: "The news from Guandu has come here, and Youzhou in the north has our own good news, can Brother Yuan want to know?" ”

Yuan Yun was very satisfied with the invincible attitude, this guy did not follow his second brother Zhao Yun to defect to Liu Bei, but chose to continue to follow him, and invincible is also a wonderful flower in this era, he also sneered at those who were as old as Yuan Yun.

Therefore, Invincible has always called Yuan Yun as Brother Yuan, not an honorific title like Yuan Hou, and Yuan Yun welcomed this very much.

Zhen Mi saw that he was invincible, and he couldn't stay, these two people spoke foul language, and when they said they were happy, they would even scold a few words together, which was really unbearable.

Confessed, and threw a maid to serve, Zhen Mi was ready to take Qing'er to find Diao Chan, these days after getting along, this is which woman is already very familiar with, and there are endless topics to talk about every day.

Seeing Zhen Mi intimately hugging Qing'er out of the study, Yuan Yun sighed secretly, fortunately he held back before, and didn't tell Qing'er that she was his concubine, otherwise with Zhen Mi's jealous personality, maybe how she would toss Qing'er.

Qing'er, this little girl, too, is always obedient, others give her grievances, she endures them all, she is as weak as a little rabbit, and she is always most worried about this little concubine.

"Brother Yuan? Brother Yuan? The invincible voice suddenly came, Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled awkwardly.

After taking a sip of tea to alleviate some of the embarrassment, Yuan Yun smiled: "Youzhou is estimated to have been turned upside down by you, right?" ”

Invincible patted his chest and said: "This is natural, but you also have to do more Yuan Xi, in order to pursue Brother Yuan, he wandered around the four northern states, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Youzhou at all, but just threw it to his generals to manage, these generals all had subordinates or relatives who died under the command of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, so he treated the local people even harder, making the people of Youzhou miserable."

In such an environment, the people will naturally join us, and now we have as many as 10,000 or 20,000 brothers over there, and even fewer villagers have developed. ”

Yuan Yun was a little surprised, he estimated that it would be good for Youzhou to gather a few thousand people at most, but he didn't expect that there would be as many as one or two thousand, and now Youzhou would be lively.

Touching his chin, Yuan Yun said: "Cao Sikong will soon enter a confrontation period with Yuan Shao, and this period will be relatively peaceful, this is the time for us to mobilize the people of Youzhou." ”

Invincible replied with some embarrassment: "It's just that these people are really difficult to arm, and it is even more difficult for any weapon to enter Youzhou." ”

Yuan Yun frowned slightly and said, "I have to ask my senior sister for help in this matter." ”

Invincible was stunned and puzzled: "Isn't Miss Wang all active on the sea and river?" Youzhou is located inland, how can they help? ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Now that Yuan Shao's army is all hoarded in Guandu, the defense in the rear is naturally relaxed, if the Wang family's sea ships can log in on the seaside in the Liaoxi area of Youzhou, they can naturally transport weapons over." ”

Invincible thought about it and immediately laughed, although he didn't know about the map Yuan Yun, but there was a section of Youzhou near the sea, and he knew this very well.

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he instructed the maid who was waiting to invite Diao Chan over, and then returned to the study and continued: "Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who asked you to investigate, is there any news?" ”

Invincible replied: "There is some news in this regard, Brother Yuan reminded me before, starting from Huazhou to the north, we sent some people over, and sure enough, we met in an ancient city, but after the people I sent informed Brother Yuan's name, General Zhang Fei drove everyone away, and said that if you dare to go over, you will cut off people's heads." ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, this is also expected, Liu Bei has developed the technique of fooling people into an art, it is estimated that it is all at the palace level, Zhang Fei has a reckless personality, and it is normal to be fooled.

After thinking about Zhang Fei, Yuan Yun originally wanted to ask Zhao Yun again, but he listened to the words again.

Seeing that Yuan Yun wanted to speak and stopped, he guessed more or less, so he smiled bitterly: "My fourth brother seems to want my second brother Zhao Yun to go to Liu Bei, so after leaving Zhongshan, he took his second brother to go around in circles in the wild, and at this moment my second brother didn't go to Yecheng. ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and continued: "Why bother, no matter how much Zhao Si delays, your second brother will still go if he wants to go, and he can't stop it, I just hope that your second brother won't be harmed by that hypocrite Liu Bei." ”

Invincible only frowned when he heard this, and said after a long time: "Liu Bei is definitely not a good person, the second brother wants to value love and righteousness, and it is estimated that Liu Bei has been trapped in this aspect." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned and puzzled: "You haven't seen Liu Bei with your own eyes, how can you be so sure?" You know, sometimes what I say to you can be false. ”

Invincible smiled and said: "In the past, I was just a little beggar begging along the street in Leling, and I must have seen something short-sighted, but now I am going south and north, plus managing such a large number of people, some things have long been self-taught, I sent people to keep an eye on Liu Bei every day, this person is definitely a mean and ungrateful person." ”

Yuan Yun was puzzled: "How can you see it?" ”

Invincible and confidently replied: "When there is a big disaster, the first thing is to run away by yourself, even at the expense of your family, how can you believe this?" In addition, after he defected to Yuan Shao, he went around all day to woo Yuan Shao's subordinates, this attitude towards the life-saving benefactor is very undeserved, and I don't know how he got the name of benevolence and righteousness? ”

Yuan Yun listened to the secret praise in his heart, the invincible is simply a living Zhuge ah, bah bah, Zhuge Liang is still in Longzhong, in short, this kid is definitely a capable person, the future growth is predictable, the Zhao family is really talented.

At this moment, Diao Chan approached the study, and then sat leisurely on Yuan Yun's left hand side, and only then did he say a few words.

For this lazy beauty full of wisdom, Yuan Yun only feels that every time she sees it, she can find some different beauty, which always makes people can't get enough of it, no wonder she will become one of the four beauties in ancient times.

Diao Chan waited for the maid to bring tea, so she took a sip, then put down the tea bowl and said, "What did Brother Yuan call me for?" ”

Yuan Yun secretly praised again, this super beauty like a royal sister has been doing these beautiful actions before asking questions, which is suspected of deliberately showing off, but even if she is showing off, she feels very enjoyable, and I wish she was showing off for a while.

When he turned his face, he saw that Invincible was already stunned, and he almost swallowed his saliva fiercely.

With a light kick of the invincible, Yuan Yuncai arched his hand and said to Diao Chan: "The underground party in Youzhou has almost assembled, but it needs to transport some weapons to the past, and the land route is really impassable, so you can only take the sea route of the Wang family." ”

Diao Chan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "You can go to the western Liaoxi area, there is a land near the sea in Youzhou over there, as long as the weapon is unloaded there, it will definitely not arouse suspicion, after all, the radius of dozens of miles is a wasteland, and it is uninhabited." ”

After speaking, Diao Chan frowned, and wondered: "But where does the weapon come from?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "I have already asked Xu Yi to prepare, and it is not a peerless sword, just some ordinary blades, the mines in Xuzhou can be cast directly, and the Wang family's sea ships are going to the Beihai dock, and everything will be arranged properly." ”

Diao Chan nodded with satisfaction, the junior brother in front of him has always been well-prepared, and he has always doubted how this teenage young man could be like a scheming middle-aged man?

This must be the master Zuo Ci and his old man's private secrets, and it is the standard of the world to pass on men and not women, but it is a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise maybe these skills will be passed on to herself, and the Wang family will not end up today.

Yuan Yun saw Diao Chan looking down and thinking, and he didn't know that she was thinking about these messes, he only thought that she was thinking about a specific route, so he didn't bother, but turned his head and talked about Yuan Tanlai with Invincible.

"Yuan Tan has been away from Zhongshan for many days, and the war in Qingzhou is tight, if he dares to mess around in Zhongshan, it is estimated that he will never let him go." After Invincible finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Diao Chan again, and really felt that it was not enough to look at it.

Yuan Yun touched his chin and asked, "Have you sent someone to follow?" ”

Invincible said: "Naturally, Brother Yuan wants to kill them halfway?" This may be possible. ”

Yuan Yun was really tempted, but he calmed down in an instant, and then he had to rely on Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to pinch each other to confiscate Yuan Shao's last bit of family money, which would be more than worth the loss.

After thinking about it, he refused: "You can't kill him, you have to keep him safe and return to Qingzhou." ”

Invincible nodded, and said: "Brother Yuan is a kind-hearted person, but Yuan Shao's son is not like this, our spies around Zhongshan came to report, saying that there are many Yuan clan's men and horses are gathering, I am afraid that they are preparing to be unfavorable to the Zhen Mansion." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, Yuan Tan really dared to do such a rebellious thing, he was really lawless, and he was not afraid that his son Yuan Shao would be angry if he knew about it.

But soon Yuan Yun was even more surprised, and only listened to the invincible answer: "This group of people is Yuan Shang's people, and they were targeted by us as soon as they left Yecheng, and they were all mobilized by Yuan Shang from his own mansion. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Yuan Shang is really smarter than his eldest brother, he is preparing to destroy the Zhen family, and then let his eldest brother take the blame."

Everyone knows at this moment that Yuan Tan and Zhen do not deal with each other, but Yuan Shang is on Zhen's side, once Zhen has a disaster, everyone will think of Yuan Tan, and he Yuan Shang can even stand up for Zhen's grievances, a good poisonous plan. ”
