Chapter 67: Internal and External Troubles
"The subordinates seconded what Guo Tu said, although General Yan's death in Xuzhou was bad news, but it could take the opportunity to arouse the anger of the masses and vent all the anger on Cao Jun.
Xu You opened his mouth to express his opinions and clearly expressed his views.
"The subordinates also seconded the proposal, the lord can take advantage of the death of General Yan to raise righteous soldiers and crusade against Cao Cao, the division is famous, and the princes of the world will not dare to help Cao Cao, Qingyan and Henan Sanzhou, at your fingertips!"
Frustration also seconded.
The three of them tried their best to fight, on the one hand, in order to obtain military merits, so as to climb to a higher position under Yuan Shao, on the other hand, they are actually experts in observing words and feelings, and they have already figured out Yuan Shao's thoughts, and have coveted the three states of Qingyan and Henan for a long time, and now they are just saying it according to Yuan Shao's meaning, and find a reason for Yuan Shao to send troops.
Among the four strategists, only Tian Feng frowned slightly.
He has never advocated attacking Cao, Yuan Shaocai pacified Gongsun Chan not long ago, the foundation of Youzhou is not yet stable, plus he has only experienced a big battle with Gongsun Zhan, the soldiers are already a little tired, this is not the best time to fight.
Cao Cao is not as vulnerable as it seems on the surface, and the decisive battle with Cao Cao is destined to be a protracted war, and the more fully prepared for the preparation of the battle, the greater the hope of victory in this battle.
As for Guo Tu, Xu You, Fu Zhu and others touting Yuan Shao, Tian Feng couldn't listen to a word, let alone speak, never touted Yuan Shao, but would pour cold water on Yuan Shao from time to time.
"Lord, attacking Cao at this time is not the best time, although the death of General Yan can boost the morale of our army, but after all, it is the loss of a general, if the two sides are unable to fight, it may be disadvantageous to our side."
"Besides......"
"Shut up!"
Before Tian Feng finished speaking, Yuan Shao let out a loud shout, directly breaking his words, and his face turned angry.
"Yan Liang died for me, General Ben can't let him die in vain, it chills the hearts of all the soldiers!"
"General Ben has made up his mind to attack Cao immediately!"
"All soldiers, immediately cross the Yellow River south, and any more persuasive obstructors will be treated as rebels, and they will not be forgiven!"
Yuan Shao was angry, and his words carried true qi, and his voice was like thunder, exploding above everyone's heads, and the sound waves were rolling.
Tian Feng's shocked ears buzzed, half of the words were stuck in his throat, he didn't know whether to say it or not, his face was slightly embarrassed.
Guo Tu, Xu You, and Frustrated all sneered, whether to fight or not to fight, only between the thoughts of the lord, how can they be strategists to decide.
All they can do is to help the lord make suggestions, not make decisions for the lord.
In vain, Fei Tianfeng has followed the lord for the longest time, but he has never been able to understand the temperament of the lord, and he can't put himself in the right position, a strategist, he wants to the lord's heart, how can this kind of person be mixed for a long time?
Guo Tu and others have reason to believe that after the battle with Cao Cao, Tian Feng's career as a strategist will come to an end, and the obstacle that stood in front of them will be completely gone.
"Report!"
"Yuan Shao's army attacked the White Horse River at night, and the pioneer troops have landed on the shore, and the defenders are fighting to the death, asking the prime minister to send troops to support!"
"Report!"
"Guandu was attacked by Yuan Shao's army, the two sides fell into a stalemate, the enemy reinforcements continued to arrive, and the battle situation on the front line was tight!"
"Report!"
"There is a large number of enemy troops harassing in Yanjin, and there are generals sitting in the Chinese army, and the situation is fierce, and there is a risk that the ferry will not be able to hold it!"
"Report ......"
Overnight, the Prime Minister of Xudu's Mansion suddenly sent frequent battle reports, and Cao Cao was suddenly overwhelmed.
Is Yuan Shao crazy, so good, why did he suddenly attack.
If he could be given another month, the defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River would be properly arranged, how could Yuan Shao cross the river south so easily!
For a time, on both sides of the Yellow River, there were battles in many places, and it was obvious that Yuan Shao had launched a general offensive and decisive battle!
And it is a decisive battle that spares no effort and recklessly wants to fight to the death with him Cao Cao!
"Prime Minister, the war situation is urgent, do you want to summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to come and discuss?"
Cheng Yu looked at the battle reports one after another, with an anxious look on his face.
"No!" Although Cao Cao had a headache, the string in his brain was still very tight.
He knew that there would be a decisive battle between himself and Yuan Shao sooner or later, but he never expected it to come so quickly.
Yuan Shao was like taking the wrong medicine, he suddenly launched an onslaught, he was so confident, he would definitely win?
Cao Cao planned to suppress the battle report first, conceal the battle situation internally, and secretly command and deal with it himself.
Now it's different from the past, the emperor is out of control, Cao Cao doesn't want to expose the battle situation, and give Liu Xie'er an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Prime Minister, the emperor summoned you to discuss matters!"
As soon as Cao Cao thought about this, the voice of his subordinates suddenly came from the door.
"What?" Cao Cao was stunned, at this time, he summoned himself over, could it be ......
Cao Cao had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, I am afraid that the emperor has received the news, but I don't know where his news came from.
After all, he had just received the battle report.
"Tell the person who came, the prime minister is entangled in official business, and he can't go to the meeting, and after the prime minister finishes handling official business, he will go to apologize to the emperor in person."
"No, no......" The subordinate stammered anxiously, and the words were not good.
"What's not going to work!" Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the look of his subordinates, he didn't react for a while, and snorted angrily.
"Prime Minister Cao, the emperor sent an old slave to invite the prime minister to discuss matters, and please give Prime Minister Cao Cheng a face!"
At this moment, a sharp voice came, fluttering and flickering, and before seeing anyone, I heard its voice first, which was very penetrating.
Cao Cao's cold sweat was about to come down suddenly, he may not be able to forget this voice in his life, even if it turned into ashes, he could recognize it, it was Yuhuatian, the superintendent of the West Factory!
The emperor actually sent this person to summon him, and it seems that he expected that he would resist the decree.
Cao Cao dared to say another word, so he had to go out in a gloomy manner, his face extremely ugly.
Internal and external troubles, this time can be regarded as a coincidence.
When he arrived at the Chengguang Palace, Cao Cao glanced at it and saw that the ministers of civil and military affairs had all arrived, and the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair with bright eyes, and was inspecting the inside and outside of the hall.
After seeing Cao Cao come in, Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon chair, smiled, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng has arrived, everyone can discuss matters." ”
"The prime minister was entangled in official business, and he was delayed for a while, so please forgive the emperor."
Cao Cao explained awkwardly.
"The prime minister is worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty, and as soon as the war on the front line started, he forgot to sleep and eat to deal with official business, which really touched me."
"What? Fighting on the front line again?! ”
"Who is so bold that he dares to touch my Han country!"
"This is an act against heaven, and it will be punished by heaven!"
“……”
When the ministers of the DPRK and China heard this, their expressions of shock were overflowing.
