Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 447 Father and son go crazy together if they win, but father will carry it if they lose!

——"Yongzhu"

——"My lord!"

Xu You was dragged down by the euphorbia warriors, and the heavy army staff hit him, his eyes were full of disappointment. "Such a heaven-sent opportunity, my lord can't see it, but I can only see the greedy ink of my Xu family, mediocre master... mediocre master!"

"If we don't send troops to Xudu now, then... the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will surely be buried in Guandu, and the four northern states will surely fall into the hands of Cao Mengde!"

These "curses" passed into the big tent and into Yuan Shao's ears!

"Bastard!"

Yuan Shao bared his teeth and said, "Speak out loud, disturb the morale of the army, add [-] more sticks!"

Originally, it was because of the thunderbolt car, because the morale of the three armies was sluggish because of retreating before the battle, Xu You dared to speak like this, which clearly shakes the morale of the army!
With a cold snort, Yuan Shao's face froze.

In his opinion, Fang'er's deployment is foolproof, which is almost a clear sign, unless...unless Cao Jun can sneak into Wuchao quietly under Yuan Shao's nose, but...such a number of towers, this how is this possible?

"My lord..."

Ju Shou defended Xu You and said: "Although Ziyuan has some flaws, he is also greedy, but... the surprise attack on Xudu he mentioned... is a good move. My lord, please think twice..."

"Humph…"

With a cold snort, before Jushou finished speaking, Yuan Shao glared at him coldly, his tone full of disdain, "Who told me in the first place that 'from slow to urgent, proceed step by step. Da Ye'? Today, I am acting according to my plan and fighting a protracted war with the Cao thief, but you are talking about a surprise attack on Xudu? Is it possible that you have forgotten your own words, the so-called 'seeing small gains, big things will fail'!"

——Haste makes waste, sees small gains, and great things fail!
These words come from "The Analects of Confucius"...the words of Confucius.

Yuan Shao used this to refute Jushou, and he was quite complacent...

Can…

From Jushou's point of view, Yuan Shao was extremely childish!
The so-called soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. How can the deployment a few months ago be exactly the same as the current deployment?

"My lord..."

Jushou still wants to speak!
"Go down!" Yuan Shao flicked his long sleeves, and his face turned cold. Xu You had just been dismissed from the military power, and Ju Shou had been dismissed from the military power a long time ago. In Yuan Shao's opinion, what qualifications does he have to second Xu You?plead?
"Well..."

Jushou sighed helplessly, and could only shake his head and leave the big tent here.

But at this moment... outside the big tent door, Xu You's shouts became more and more heart-piercing.

——"Yongzhu..."

——"This is the mediocre master!"

Xu You's eyes were full of disappointment.

In the past, when Yuan Shao entered Bohai, he was the first to follow and assist.

At that time, besides the reputation of the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, what Xu You valued the most was that he and Yuan Shao had known each other since they were young and had grown up together in Taixue since they were young.
"Crack...crack...""

The continuous sound of army sticks resounded...

The two officers and men took military sticks to execute the punishment.

It would be unbearable to hit a warrior with fifty army sticks, let alone hit Xu You.

And this scene made everyone flustered.

Even Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, who were once high-ranking and regarded by Yuan Shao as the first conspirators, ended up like this because of persuasion, so...in the future...who will dare to persuasion?

What's more, they thought, if their family made a mistake, would they be like this?Is it also ransacking the family and exterminating the family, and exterminating all the descendants of the family?
"Ugh…"

Many people sighed, especially those Ruying clan who followed Yuan Shao earlier, at this moment, everyone's heart was throbbing.

call…

Instead, Ju Shou exhaled.

"The fighter plane is gone in a flash, it's a pity, it's a pity..."

"Hehe, the protracted war, the protracted war that the lord is obsessed with, who said that just... can win a big victory? The situation of the battle is changing rapidly, not to mention... not to mention Yinlin on the opposite side, what a terrifying opponent?"

Jushou's eyes were full of bitterness and hesitation.

After the baton.

Xu You was carried back to his big tent with his wounded body.

On this day, Yuan Jun's officers and men talked a lot, and on this day, people in Yuan Jun's camp were panic-stricken.

And Xu You in the big tent gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision!
--"Humph…"

——"Faithful words are harsh to the ears, and mediocre masters are not enough to conspire. If this continues, sooner or later I will follow in the footsteps of Tian Feng!"

Thinking of this, Xu You tried hard to lift his legs and wanted to get out of bed, but...the current injury did not allow him to move at all.

call…

He gasped for breath, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Be patient, endure for a few more days!"

"Stay...stay until I can get out of bed and walk around, I will definitely... definitely make Yuan Benchu ​​regret it!"

Speaking of this, Xu You poked his head hard and looked out the door.

He wanted to see the sky, Yuan Jun Dazhai under the dark sky...

What a strong outsider but middle-ranked, Yuan Jun Dazhai who was defeated by gold and jade!

...

...

From the beginning of July to the end of August.

Cao and Yuan are still at Guandu.

The stalemate here has been going on for half a year, Cao Jun dare not act rashly, and Yuan Jun dare not act rashly either!

Just this day.

In the big account of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was discussing the military situation with Xun You and Xi Zhicai...

A tiger ben soldier rushed in.

——"Report...My lord, the grain road was robbed...More than [-] stones of grain and grass, together with more than [-] wooden cattle and horses were looted by Yuan Jun..."

As soon as this statement comes out…

"what!"

Cao Cao's eyes widened suddenly, more than [-] grains?This is killing him!
To know…

According to the records of ancient books and documents, the stalemate in Cao Yuan's Battle of Guandu was divided into three stages.

The first stage is the high-tech battle. Yuan Shao's wooden high-rise buildings, tunnel warfare and Cao Cao's thunderbolt car all belong to this category!

The second stage is to rob each other of food.

Xu Huang was dispatched by Cao Cao, and Han Meng was dispatched by Yuan Shao. The two sides were facing each other!

As for the third stage, it evolved into stealing each other's homes. Cao Cao aimed at the land of Hanoi...trying to bypass the main force of Yuan's army from there and surprise Yecheng.

And Yuan Shao aimed at Taishan County in Yanzhou, trying to cross Mount Tai in vain, and dealt a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

It can be said…

This time Cao Cao's food was robbed, which marked the arrival of the second stage in the confrontation process of the Battle of Guandu.

But Cha Cha...

Some changes have taken place in history. Cao Jun's soldiers and horses are not the original 20, but [-]!
The consumption rate of food and grass here is even more terrifying!

perhaps…

In history, the two sides robbed each other of food, and the impact on Cao Cao was not fatal, but now...more than 20 shi of military food have been robbed, which is [-] mouths... This makes Cao Cao feel hesitant and desperate for the first time!
"How much food does our army have?"

Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai...

Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes, and immediately replied: "Guandu saves some food and can last for ten days."

Ten days?

Cao Cao's brows became tighter. Yu'er kept mentioning that there would be a turning point in the battle of Guandu, but the turning point has not yet appeared, and the food supply has bottomed out...

Such and such.

Not to mention sticking to the end of the year according to the original plan, but now, being able to stick to September is a huge problem.

call…

Cao Cao let out a long breath, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought!
After a while, he added another sentence. "Didn't Lu Situ mention that there will be distinguished guests coming to the door? But a month has passed, and the 'visited guests' still haven't appeared."

This…

Xi Zhicai and Xun You looked at each other, the honored guest mentioned by Lu Yu was rather mysterious, they didn't know who it was?
But... pearls and jade come first...

According to Lu Yu's style in the past, it is bound to... this distinguished guest will be a key person, even a person who can turn the tide of the battle, but what about him?
a month?Haven't seen anyone yet!

Of course, Xi Zhicai and Xun You were puzzled, and Cao Cao was even more puzzled.

It's just...how did they know that Xu You wanted to come, but he couldn't get down!

Fifty army sticks is not a joke, if it is really serious, a hundred days of muscle and bone injuries are inevitable, even today, he can only just go to the ground.

"Ugh…"

Cao Cao shook his head and fell into deep thought again.

Yu'er, the so-called distinguished guest, can't be counted on for the time being, but... the food problem must be solved!

"Immediately send a letter to Xun Lingjun, asking him to raise another 20 shi of grain and send it quickly!"

Cao Cao immediately ordered.

Xun You's face tightened. "Cao Sikong, it is clearly stated in Xun Lingjun's letter that the more than [-] shi of grain is already the last stock of Xu Capital City. Even if we start to raise it now... it may be too late in time."

It takes time to collect, transport, and even... rebuild food roads.

The grain and grass in Guandu are only more than ten days away, and the day when the new grain arrives cannot be waited for.

"Can we just retreat?"

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.

The reason for mentioning retreat...

It is Cao Cao's overall consideration.

There are only ten days' worth of food left, and when it is time to run out of food, then... let alone retreat, the soldiers of the three armies are hungry, and they are afraid that they will mutiny.

"Retreat, retreat?" Cao Cao blurted out...

Xun You fell into silence, his heart was like a mirror, and the protracted war... was not good for Cao Jun!

It is no exaggeration to say that in his opinion, if Yuan Shao is determined to fight a protracted war, then Cao Cao has no chance!
But... if you retreat?
Where can I retreat?

As his uncle Xun Yu mentioned in the old days, Yuan Shao went south to compete with Cao Cao for the battle. If Cao Cao retreated, he would definitely pursue him again...to Yanzhou, Sili, and Xuducheng. Food?
"Cao Sikong..."

Xun You opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Xi Zhicai's eyes froze and his face was awe-inspiring.

He immediately asked Cao Cao... "Cao Sikong knows why the morale of the soldiers of the three armies has never weakened and their fighting spirit has never been weakened when they have been stalemate for several months? Why are the people in Si, Xu, Yan, and Yu prefectures stable in the face of an enemy that is several times our army?" , as solid as a rock, as stable as Mount Tai?"

Well…

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then he raised his eyes.

"Why?"

But Xi Zhicai took out a piece of paper from his pocket...

That's right, it's a piece of paper—a newspaper!
Xi Zhicai quickly handed the newspaper to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao quickly unfolded it. He was busy with military affairs...he really didn't care about these strange things.

His eyes narrowed, and he looked carefully.

And it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain.

Because, this small "newspaper" actually lists a lot of content.

And the title of the first article is an extremely eye-catching two big characters - Persevere!
"Shaoxi all gathered at Guandu, wanting to decide victory or defeat with the public. The public is so weak that he can become the strongest. If he can't control it, he will be exploited. This is the great opportunity of the world. And Shao, the male ear of the common people can gather people but can't be used. Husband uses the gods and wisdom of the public and supplements the Dashun, what direction is not helpful! The public is now painting the land and guarding it, choking his throat so that he cannot enter, and the situation is exhausted, and there will be changes. When this is used strangely, it must not be done. Lost. Only Ming Gong judges and inspects.”

This was written by Xun Yu himself on paper, and tens of thousands of copies were printed through Taixue's movable type printing technique.

Rather than saying that this is an article written by Xun Yu, it is better to say that this is a letter to Cao Cao.

call…

Cao Cao mentioned the newspaper, read the article once, and it seemed that he was still interested, so he mentioned it again and read it again.

Impressive, every word is in place...

Cao Cao's eyes gradually narrowed, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Xun Lingjun's sharp pen directly touches people's hearts!"

Xi Zhicai hastened to make up. "Yes, Xun Lingjun pointed out in this article that this is a critical moment for Cao Sikong and Yuan Shao to decide the general situation of the world, and we must not give up lightly!"

"Besides, Yuan Shao is at best a guy who is better than ordinary people. He used the reputation of his ancestors to unite many talents around him, but he has no ability to use them at all. The lord is wise and martial, wise, and his indicators are far away. Why do you need to be afraid of him if you far surpass him? Since you don’t need to be afraid of him, why should you retreat?”

Speaking of here…

Xun You added: "Uncle's article is really incisive. He mentioned that during the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Xingyang and Chengfu had faced each other for so long, but neither Gao Zu nor Xiang Yu wanted to retreat first!"

"Because the one who retreats first will inevitably lose the general situation, but now the lord's army is less than [-]% of Yuan Shao's, but he won consecutive victories, strangled Yuan Shao's way forward, and made him unable to move. The stalemate lasted for half a year, and now it has arrived. At the last moment, at this time, the situation of the battle will often undergo major changes... Instead of retreating, it is better to look for opportunities in the changes and kill with one blow!"

persist in…

The whole article echoes its title - Persevere!
And this newspaper really lifted Cao Cao's spirits. Although it didn't immediately feel like he had been beaten with chicken blood, at least his retreating emotions subsided a lot.

And look down...

What is printed in the newspaper is "Yuan Shao Ten Sins" - there are extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things, and there are extraordinary things, and then extraordinary achievements are made!

At the beginning of Chen Lin's familiar "Call for Thieves", there are still 450 characters. Compared with "Call for Thieves", there are not many words, but not one word!
The same eloquence and literary talent...

But the protagonist here has changed from Yuan Shao to Cao Cao...

The crimes assigned to Yuan Shao are also false and true, true and false, false within the true, and true within the false, making it hard to tell the truth from the false!
Cao Cao watched heartily and let out a sigh of relief.

Besides Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji, who else wrote this "Yuan Shao Ten Sins"?

Bloody head...

This "Yuan Shao·Ten Sins" is absolutely perfect, it almost scolded Yuan Shao out of the sky...

If it is said that Xun Yu's article and Cai Zhaoji's appeal had rekindled Cao Cao's fighting spirit, and the hope of persistence was surging in his chest.

then...behind...

——"Liu and Xiangzhi were defeated, and everyone knows it. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty only won by wisdom, and although Xiang Yu was strong, he was finally defeated..."

A "Ten Wins and Ten Defeats Theory" signed by Guo Fengxiao, a teacher of Taixue, made Cao Cao even more aroused.

Dao wins, righteousness wins, governance wins, degree wins, seeks wins, virtue wins, benevolence wins, Ming wins, Wen wins, and Wu wins!
Especially the last sentence - "Cao Sikong has these ten victories, for defeating the traitor Yuan Shao, it is nothing more than an easy hand!"

call!
Cao Cao exhaled a long breath, and he silently wrote down the name of "Guo Fengxiao". This article is written incisively, and the name is also incisively named!
It's really... talents come out of Taixue!
It's not over yet!

After Guo Fengxiao's "On Ten Victories and Ten Defeats", there was another "On Four Victories" by Jia Xu...

This article, adhering to Jia Xu's consistent character, restrained and reserved...

Just put forward four points in a low-key manner——

——"Cao Sikong's wisdom is better than Yuan Shao's, his bravery is better than Yuan Shao's, his employment is better than Yuan Shao's, and his decisiveness is also better than Yuan Shao's."

This is the beginning...

Since then, Jia Xu fully explained these four points through specific examples in an entire article, making people enjoy watching and convincing...

The last paragraph, the last sentence, is the finishing touch.

——"Cao Sikong may be uncomfortable, but the enemy will be even more uncomfortable. The competition to this level is persistence!"

Huo…

It ignited, Cao Cao felt that his whole body was ignited.

Just because of these pieces of articles in this newspaper ignited.

Xi Zhicai added in a timely manner: "This newspaper has been sent from Xu Capital, and has been sent to Si, Xu, Yan, and Yu... After reading it, the soldiers all know the value of 'persistence', and they all know that Minggong will definitely persevere. Now , but food and grass were robbed, and it is far from the last moment? How can you give up lightly? Besides... Lu Situ has no plans. , that...that..."

Before Xi Zhi could finish speaking...

Cao Cao suddenly rose up.

At this moment, there was no doubt in his eyes anymore, and he became extremely resolute and decisive!
He feels like he drank a full bowl of chicken soup, is it poisonous?He didn't know if it was poisonous chicken soup, but... the retreat that quietly rose in his heart dissipated in an instant!

Especially... the last sentence added by Zhicai who is very familiar with Xixi.

Yu'er has no plans to spare, whichever time he didn't put himself to death and was born later, since he mentioned the turning point and the nobleman, then... the turning point and the nobleman will definitely appear.

At this moment, Cao Cao, as his father, chose to trust his son unconditionally!

If we win, we father and son will go crazy together, if we lose, let dad carry it!

Thinking of this...

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened, and he became extremely determined. He immediately ordered: "Send the order and tell the soldiers of the three armies that I, Cao Cao, know that everyone has worked hard, but don't worry, it only takes half a month, as long as half a month. We can defeat Yuan Shao! By then, everyone can go home and have a good rest!"

Wishing plums to quench thirst...

Cao Cao's words seem to be the 2.0 upgraded version of "Looking for plums to quench thirst".

How's the effect?Cao Cao didn't know!

But what he knows is, persist... Must persevere!

If he retreats, he will be defeated for thousands of miles, but if he can stay here, even if it is one more day, he will have more faith, and maybe... there will be a miracle!

So... here comes the question!
Will a miracle happen?Does belief have color?
do not know…

——But, if miracles and beliefs have names, then...he must be called...

...

...

The moon and stars are sparse, at the gate of Yuan Junying's Panzhai.

A Confucian scholar was staggering out of the gate of the camp. He paused, turned his head and took one last look at the familiar gate of Yuanying's gate, shook his head, then turned his head and continued to move forward.

this moment…

Perhaps, he didn't know!

His actions, the cry in the depths of his soul, are about to change the course of the world for 500 years in the future!
...
