His actions immediately puzzled everyone, and they didn't know what he wanted to do. Yuan Shao's heart tightened even more, and he took a step back vigilantly, looking at Wang Xu with a stiff smile. "Ziyang, what does this mean?"

Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled faintly, but did not answer, but grabbed Yuan Shao's hand and strode towards the handsome position in the middle of the big tent. "I met my first brother when I was young, and I fought side by side on the battlefield, like brothers. He is an older man, but he is my brother, and it is even more natural for him to sit in this position! ”

As he spoke, he pressed the surprised Yuan Shao to sit down on the handsome seat, and then turned around and arched his hand to everyone. said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, but to become a big thing, you should have a person with deep qualifications and high morality to lead, in the next young and virtuous, it is really not suitable to take on this heavy responsibility!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the princes were full of surprise, and they couldn't help but look at Yuan Shao. It wasn't until he found out that Yuan Shao himself was also surprised that he had a sense of respect for Wang Xu's willingness to abdicate.

Who doesn't know that those words are shirk, in terms of merit, Yuan Shao is really not as good as Wang Xu. In terms of family history, the Wang family is also loyal and good for generations, and many people are among the three princes, although the previous generation has declined, but in this generation has risen again, if you really want to fight, what can Yuan Shao say? Even his generals, as well as Wang Xu's subordinates back then!

Cao Cao, who was hesitant, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he faintly felt that Wang Xu had his own calculations, but he didn't care, it was a good thing to be able to settle down and work together to ask Dong. He has been in contact with Yuan Shao more than Wang Xu over the years, and he knows that Yuan Shao is no longer the Yuan Shao who acted chivalrous and righteous back then. The nourishment of high-ranking officials, glory and wealth, coupled with the fact that they are crawling in the officialdom and being influenced by the world, their temperament has already changed unconsciously. If Wang Xu really became the leader of the alliance, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will soon find an excuse to withdraw his troops, and then the heroes will inevitably centrifuge, and this will naturally become a laughing stock for Dong.

The expressions of everyone at this moment were also seen by Wang Xu, and with a slight smile, he turned around without care. took the lead in arching his hand to Yuan Shao, who was already smiling: "Wang Xu, the general of Zhengnan." Meet the Alliance Leader! ”

After receiving Wang Xu's favor, where would Yuan Shao put up a fight, and immediately said pretendedly: "Brother Ziyang doesn't need to be polite, you should sit in this position." Now it's pushing me up, and I really don't know what to do! ”

"Huh! Don't say this again, with your talent and reputation, you deserve to be in this position. Now the first brother is the leader of the alliance. The younger brother should obey the order and work together to exterminate the national thieves. Although Wang Xu's tone was slightly reprimanding, it was more comfortable to listen to Yuan Shao.

Seeing this, Cao Cao also struck while the iron was hot, and immediately took over the words and said: "Ziyang's words are very true, and today he has established the leader of the alliance. All the princes should listen to their dispatch and support the country together, and do not care about the strength or weakness. ”

At this point, of course, the princes of all walks of life would not say any more, and they all said: "We are willing to listen to the command of the alliance leader. ”

"Hey!" Hearing this, Yuan Shao sighed heavily, and pretended to be helpless: "Zhu Gong pushed Shao to this position, so how can Shao be embarrassed!" ”

That being said. But he didn't mean to get up at all. A moment later. He waved his hand, sat up straight and said, "That's it! Shao is not talented. However, if you accept the love of the public and promote you as the leader of the alliance, you must do your best, and you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. It is important for all the princes to obey it, and not to transgress it. ”

"No!" Everyone immediately responded in unison.

Wang Xu also responded to the same sentence, he always heard his subordinates talk like this on weekdays, but today he spit out this word, but he also has a different feeling.

"Hahaha! Okay, in the future, we should work together to exterminate the Dong thief and help the Han family. Laughing and giving a word of encouragement, Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Please sit down and talk about state affairs!" ”

Everyone was not polite, and before Yuan Shao's words fell, they had already taken their seats according to their official titles. Of course, no one fights for the first place on the left, and in terms of title, Wang Xu is the county marquis. In terms of official position, he is the general of Zhengnan, and his rank is the highest. This is the only place in the handsome position, of course, he has to be.

And Wang Xu was no longer polite, strode forward, shook off his cloak, and sat down.

After a few moments, wait for everyone to sit down. Cao Cao, who was one of the principals, stood up again and laughed loudly: "All the princes have been on the march recently, and they may not know much about the latest military situation, so let's make an introduction to the princes first!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao's eyes froze, and he solemnly continued: "As far as the latest information from my subordinates is concerned, Dong Zhuo has sent his subordinate generals Li Su and Zhao Cen to lead 20,000 horse infantry to reinforce Yuanwu and Yangwu counties, and before the convergence of Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, there were 60,000 people. At present, Hu Zhen and Li Su will lead 40,000 troops to camp between the two counties, and Zhao Cen and Yang Ding will each lead 10,000 troops and horses to defend the city, forming a horn trend. Later, the general Xu Rong led 30,000 troops to garrison Xingyang, and the two sides were separated by no more than 100 miles. Therefore, despite our great momentum, we must not storm it, but we should win it by strategy. ”

Hearing this, all the princes frowned involuntarily, it seemed that this Dong Zhuo was more difficult to deal with than he imagined. Yuan Shao also hesitated, and when he saw Cao Cao as if he was confident, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know if Meng De has a clever plan to break the enemy?" ”

"There's a plan." Slowly swept the generals in the tent, Cao Cao did not shirk, smiled, and replied: "According to the foolish opinion, the alliance leader can send Jizhou Mu Hanfu to lead Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang and Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang to cross the Yellow River north, detour through Hanoi County, and press the Mengjin ferry north of Luoyang to contain Dong Zhuo's troops. ”

"Then send General Yuan, General Sun, and Liu Jingzhou to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, retreat to Nanyang County, along the two counties of Dan and Xi, and send troops out of Wuguan to suppress the rear of Luoyang from the south and deter Sanfu. These two lines of soldiers and horses are high and deep walls, and they are fanfare, but do not engage them, so as to confuse them, and do not know whether there are main forces of soldiers and horses. ”

At this time, the rest of the generals sent troops to suppress Yangwu and Yuanwu counties, and also hid the truth and did not fight. When the soldiers and horses from the north and south arrived, Dong Zhuo was attacked on three sides, and it would be difficult to support, and it would be impossible to send reinforcements. At this time, our Chinese army only needs to divide all the troops and horses, detour to the south to Zhongmu County, and make a surprise attack on Xingyang, the thieves will definitely panic and come back to help, and we will take the opportunity to set up an ambush and will definitely be able to break it in one fell swoop. Then take advantage of the situation to rush forward, seize the tiger prison, the four passes of the revolving door, the Yuanyuan, and the big valley, control its danger, and the troops will come to Luoyang, and it will be easy to capture Dong Zhuo at that time. ”

With Cao Cao's analysis. The crowd fell into deep thought. Wang Xu secretly admired in his heart: Cao Cao really deserves to be a generation of geniuses. Compared with the time when he was crusading against the Yellow Turban, he already has a farther strategic vision and a more macro control ability. The strategy he said was thought of by Guo Jiatianfeng as early as the time of Jingnan, and he discussed it in depth, and he also thought that this was the best way. It is much better than simply attacking from the east, completely controlling the strategic initiative, and it is a strategic strategy with foresight.

It's a pity that most of the princes in the tent can't understand it. Except for Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zhan, who successively expressed their approval, the rest were almost indecisive. Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time. He shook his head and said: "Mengde, although this plan is good, it can be protracted. Zhugong came from afar, and there were not many things such as grain and grass, and they all relied on the secret support of the counties in the rear, and this strategy needs to be considered. ”

Seeing Yuan Shao open his mouth to object, Cao Cao couldn't help but hurriedly say: "This difference in words, it is the direction of the world to ask for Dong." Although some states and counties did not dare to raise troops. But if it is only to provide food and grass, it will not refuse. The three armies jointly levy. It's all right. ”

"Even so, but we respond to the world and form an alliance to raise troops, which is in line with the will of God and the people, if we fight for a long time without success, I am afraid that we will lose the hearts of the people! Moreover, all the princes are far away from the land, and after a long time, I am afraid that the thieves in the rear will cause turmoil in the world. Yuan Shao didn't lose his temper with Cao Cao, his tone was very good, but the meaning was very clear, that is, he didn't agree.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the tent nodded and agreed, obviously agreeing with Yuan Shao's statement.

Seeing this, Cao Cao opened his mouth, but in the end he sighed, sat back slowly, and no longer argued.

Of course, Wang Xu knew what he wanted to say, as long as Dong Zhuo was killed and the government was suppressed, why should the bandits be worried? It's a pity that Yuan Shao is obviously opposed, and there are many people who agree with it, and if they continue to fight, it is not conducive to unity. So Cao Cao chose to be silent, after all, although it is not a good way to attack, it is better than everyone going their separate ways. If you work hard, it's not hopeless.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Yuan Shao did not decide immediately, but suddenly turned his head to look over, and asked hesitantly: "Brother Ziyang, you are well versed in military affairs, I don't know if you agree with this!" ”

In an instant, the eyes of all the princes came together, and Cao Cao's small eyes were full of hope, staring at him with burning eyes.

After Yuan Shao was older, he was scheming and indecisive, and he was really not wrong. However, in the face of this inquiry, Wang Xu was a little hesitant, if he nodded in support, then if Yuan Shao really did it and defeated Dong Zhuo, he might be in big trouble in the future. If you don't support it, when the conversation here spreads, those top ministers and good generals will greatly look down on themselves and think that they are vain.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Xu smiled apologetically at Cao Cao and replied: "Meng De's strategy is very good, but the words of the alliance leader are also right, and it is not appropriate to speak on this matter!" ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Yuan Shao smiled slightly, but he didn't ask any more. After contemplating for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Since this is the case, then we should take advantage of the high morale of the army now and move westward." My brother Yuan Shu has a wide range of friends, but he can be the governor of grain and grass, and pass it on to all places to raise and deal with the battalions, and there is no shortage of them. Another person must be the vanguard to open the way for the army and find out the reality of the enemy's combat strength. The rest of the parts marched on the left, center, and right roads, and took Yangwu and Yuanwu counties. ”

As Yuan Shao made a big plan, although Sun Jian was inclined to Cao Cao's method, as an activist, he still took the lead in coming out of the crowd, and said loudly: "Insist on being the front,"

"Good! Wentai is brave and brave enough to take on this role. Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed, Sun Jian's ability was still clear to him. Therefore, when even picked up the arrow on the case in front of him, he waved his hand and threw it. "Let you immediately lead the troops to set off, and our army will start at three o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"No!" Sun Jian responded like thunder, and without saying much, he turned around and strode away.

Setting this most stupid and stupid "hard fight" battle plan, Yuan Shao seemed to have enough of the alliance leader's addiction, and when he saw that everyone had nothing to say, he couldn't help laughing and said: "All the princes should also go back to their headquarters!" Set off tomorrow morning, in order to ensure confidentiality, the distribution of the three routes of soldiers and horses will be passed to you tomorrow morning. ”

"No!" Everyone arched their hands, but they didn't have much energy, and they each pulled their acquaintances away.

Wang Xu had just stepped out of the camp tent and had not been able to take two steps, but Cao Cao suddenly caught up, grabbed his arm, and walked to the corner next to him.

"Mengde, what are you doing!" Wang Xu suddenly wondered.

When Wang Xu asked him like this, Cao Cao let go of his hand, but then he said with a blaming face: "Ziyang! You are well versed in military affairs, so you should be able to understand what I just planned, why don't you say anything to help? With your influence, you will definitely change your mind, so why sit and watch? ”

"Huh!" Seeing that Cao Cao was asking this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, and casually grabbed an excuse and replied: "Meng De, your plan is really good, but in addition to you and me, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zhan, how many people agree?" Yuan Benchu didn't know that your plan was good, but he didn't use it, why do you think it is? If it's protracted, what will it bring, think about it......"

After speaking, he ignored Cao Cao, who was stunned suddenly, and turned around and left!

In fact, Wang Xu is simply talking nonsense, why Yuan Shao doesn't use it, he can't explain it. It could be stupid, it might be unwilling to spend too much time, or it could be really calculating, who knows? Anyway, it doesn't matter to him!

But when Cao Cao heard this, he seemed to be very shocked, and he pondered silently for a long time, but his face sank suddenly, and his small eyes narrowed, and he was already looking at the sky in the distance. He said to himself, "Yes! In the vast world, how many people in the world are sincere to support the Han family? It's all selfish, and the 400-year-old Han River can really be saved? ”

It's a pity that Wang Xu has already gone away at this moment, if he hears this, I really don't know how he will feel...... (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please log in to the http://www.biquge.info.)
