Chapter 760: Ease and Urgency
So, Yuan Shang still has the trial, Feng Ji and others, relying on the fact that Jizhou is completely under their control now, relying on Yuan Tan and others are still outside, and they have not come back, and they have not stayed by Yuan Shao's side before, plus the cooperation of Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu, corrected Yuan Shao's edict, saying that Yuan Shao passed the position to Yuan Shang before he died. If others really want to reason, there is nowhere to reason!
Moreover, after Yuan Shao's death, the vicious Mrs. Liu directly killed all Yuan Shao's other concubines, so who else can prove that he did not make an edict before Yuan Shao's death?
However, although Yuan Shang successfully took Yuan Shao's class by this means, could he believe Yuan Tan who rushed back from outside? Well, even if Yuan Tan believes it, he won't be reconciled. To question for the sake of questioning, to disbelieve for the sake of not believing!
So, in this way, Guo Tu and Xin Ping brothers supported Yuan Tan, and Jubei, Feng Ji and others supported Yuan Shang, and the Yuan brothers, although they had not directly started a war, they had already started a situation of infighting
On the side of Luoyang, Cao Cao got the news, and he was naturally overjoyed, of course, he also felt a little sad, after all, Yuan Shao was Cao Cao's childhood playmate, Zhang Miao died before, and now Yuan Shao is also dead, his Cao Cao's generation, to this day, there are still a few left in the world.
However, sadness is sadness, Cao Cao will never affect his own people because of this kind of thing, now that Yuan Shao has just died, the Yuan camp will inevitably be chaotic, the dragons are leaderless, the people are panicked, and Yuan Shao has suffered defeat before, and now he is coming. Wouldn't most of them have to turn against him Cao Cao?!
Therefore, Cao Cao didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Immediately prepare to go out again, on behalf of the north. This time, it is necessary to completely defeat the Yuan clan and unify the entire north!
As for Cao Cao's plan to send troops, Guo Jia objected,
"The Yuan family abolished the elder and established the young, and between the brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, the power was combined, and they each established a party, and they rescued each other in a hurry. Slow down is a struggle. At this time, it is better to raise troops to go south to fight Jingzhou and conquer Liu Biao, so as to wait for the change of the Yuan brothers. If you hit it then, you will be able to kill it in one fell swoop. ”
Above the court, yes, it was above the court, Guo Jia raised objections. Speaking of which, how long has it been since no one dared to oppose Cao Cao in the court? all these years. Cao Cao's so-called upper dynasty is just a formality, everything has already been decided, but he is here to make Emperor Xian nod. It's just a stamp.
Of course, it is not that Cao Cao is stubborn and self-serving, and he can't listen to the opposition of others. Others didn't dare to oppose him, you must know that Cao Cao is a rare good admonition. But that was all "in private", when Cao Ying's internal decisions were discussed. At that time. Cao Cao will listen carefully to all kinds of opinions, and only after making a decision and making a choice will he bring the "finished product" to the emperor, so that it is naturally impossible for anyone to oppose it.
Therefore, here in the court, it is not a place to discuss this kind of issue, but it is just a formality. Therefore, Guo Jia's opposition to Cao Cao here on this day will be quite abrupt and surprising. Of course, this also proves that Guo Jia had not participated in Cao Ying's internal meetings before, Guo Jia had been squeezed out by Cao Cao, and the breakdown of the relationship between the two had been made straightforward.
Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao frown, how can it sound, Guo Jia's words are quite reasonable, but this kind of words come out of Guo Jia's mouth, and from Guo Jia's mouth now, this taste is a little different. It's all like this, Guo Jia is really kind to continue to help him Cao Cao? Or is there any trap in this, Guo Jia is deliberately yin him?
Of course, just because Guo Jia's words are reasonable, you can't say that Cao Cao's previous decision was wrong, after all, it was a strategy that many strategists recognized, are so many people not as good as you Guo Jia? This situation, just like what Guo Tu said at the beginning, is not clear about right and wrong, both sides may succeed, and the ambiguous situation, if it is replaced by Yuan Shao, it is estimated that he will hesitate for a long time.
However, Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, since Guo Jia's idea he couldn't figure it out for a while, and taking advantage of Yuan Shao's death, the enemy's internal people were unstable, and the idea of taking advantage of the situation to attack was completely feasible, so Cao Cao finally resolutely ignored Guo Jia's opposition and insisted on immediately sending troops to attack Yuan.
Of course, Cao Cao, as a military expert himself, would not really attack directly like that. The Yuan brothers are fighting among themselves, this is already an objective fact, and it is completely possible to use it, and Cao Cao can also use this point while directly attacking!
That's right, Cao Cao's idea is to only attack one side and ignore the other side at all! As for the guy who was unlucky and was chosen by Cao Cao to attack to death, it was Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan of Qingzhou. I don't know if it's because Guo Tu and others support Yuan Tan, so Cao Cao made such a decision
But it was said that after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan got the news, and immediately rushed back to Yecheng with Guo Tu and Xin Ping and others, but unfortunately, halfway through, I heard that Yuan Shao passed the position to Yuan Shang before he died.
Yuan Tan hurriedly discussed with Guo Tu and the two, and Xin Ping reminded,
"The two of them will be judged and disciplined, and they will plan a plan. If you go quickly now, you will be harmed. ”
Yuan Tan thought so, he was not a stupid person, so stupid and stupid went directly to Yecheng and directly entered Yuan Shang's base camp, when the time came, even if he was not killed by Yuan Shang, at least it would be the result of house arrest. And what about brothers? What can't be done in order to compete for that position?!
So Yuan Tan hurriedly asked what to do, Guo Tu took the initiative to ask Ying, let Yuan Tan garrison outside, watch his movements, Guo Tu himself went to Yecheng to find out the situation. Although Guo Tu is bold, he is not too risky, as long as Yuan Tan is still outside and there are heavy troops in hand, then Guo Tu is basically safe, after all, Yuan Shang is not good to turn his face directly, and he knows what to do to his eldest brother, this kind of behavior will be criticized by the world.
After Guo Tu came to Yecheng, he lied that Yuan Tan was grief-stricken because he heard Yuan Shao's bad news, and fell ill in the army for a while.
Yuan Shang probably also understood the truth, and knew that Yuan Tan did not come alone so easily, so he said directly,
"I was ordered by my father to make me my lord and my brother to be the general of the chariot and cavalry. At present, the Cao army is pressing, please ask my brother to be the front, and I will then transfer troops to respond. ”
Yuan Shang's purpose is also obvious, since you Yuan Tan insists on not coming back outside, then just go directly to the front line to deal with Cao Cao.
As a result, Guo Tu did not oppose such a proposal at all, but opposed the first army, saying that there was no one in the army to discuss a good policy, and asked Yuan Shang to send the trial and Feng Ji to help. (To be continued......)
