The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 509
"What, the whole army is wiped out on the Royal Festival!"

In Wuyan County, when Yuan Shao heard the news, he was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

Under Wang Kuang's command, there are a full [-] troops!
No matter how powerful that Lin Zixu is, if you can't beat Wang Kuang, you won't be wiped out.

And he even paid for it himself!

Of course Yuan Shao knew what it meant to be defeated in the first battle.

Just in the past few days, he also received a request for help from Jizhou. In the letter, Fengji repeatedly asked Yuan Shao to increase his troops, saying that Xuzhou had already increased its troops, and Zhao Yun's offensive was getting stronger and he was about to be unable to hold on.

It coincided with the crisis in Jizhou, and Taishan suffered another disastrous defeat. As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao is now the first and the second big.

Next to him, Xu You cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the news of the annihilation of the entire army on the Prince's Day will spread throughout the princes in an instant. At that time, the morale of the army will be unstable, and the morale will drop. The alliance may be in danger of falling apart!"

Before the official start of the fight, all the princes were defeated, and the rest of the princes must have doubts.

There is a saying that there are many icing on the cake, but few give charcoal in the snow.

Once the news of the unfavorable initial battle spread, if Yuan Shao did not take measures, it would be a good idea for these younger brothers who are now obedient to him not to fall to Liu Bei's side by then.

Yuan Shao understood this truth, but he couldn't solve it. After all, he couldn't hide the news!
"Ziyuan, what do you think we should do now?"

As his confidant, Yuan Shao's trust in Xu You naturally goes without saying.

Seeing Yuan Shao asking about his plan, Xu You thought for a moment, and then said: "For the present plan, my lord might as well conceal the news first, and then send a prince to attack Lu County as the vanguard, to test the actual strength of Xuzhou's combat power. Anyway, Xia Harvest has already been harvested now. However, the supply of food and grass has been continued, and the army can advance eastward to Mount Tai at any time to attack Liu Bei."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but nodded.

Wang Kuang's defeat in this battle was too bizarre, even incomprehensible.It would be good to send another prince to fight, but we can take the opportunity to see whether Xuzhou's army is too strong or Wang Kuang is too weak.

I led the army to follow up slowly, so it was safe and secure.

"Okay, let's rely on Ziyuan..."

Yuan Shao hadn't finished his promise when he heard a voice next to him.

"My lord, this plan is absolutely impossible!"

Yuan Shao turned his head to look, and the speaker was Xin Ping, who recently returned to vote.

Xin Ping and his younger brother Xin Pi are both famous scholars in Yingchuan, with great ambitions and outstanding insights.

Especially Xin Ping, who is straightforward and upright. Although he is not as strong as Tian Feng and Shen Pei, he is not a person who easily gets along with others.

The two brothers have always been ignored by Han Fu, and after Han Fu's death, they naturally surrendered to Yuan Shao.

I have to say that the title of Four Generations and Three Dukes is really easy to use.

Because the Yuan family in Runan is the spokesperson of the aristocratic families in the world today, and under the circumstances of the same interests, these talents from the aristocratic families can easily be recruited by Yuan Shao.

"What's Zhongzhi's opinion?"

Seeing Xin Ping speak, Yuan Shao asked with a smile.

Xin Ping stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Liu Xuande is a hero in the world, and his elite soldiers and generals are like crucian carp crossing the river, innumerable. There is Lin Zichu who has not been seen for a hundred years, Wang Zuozhi's talent Xun Wenruo and others plan for him, and the enemy cannot be underestimated. !"

Hearing Xin Ping praise Liu Bei, Yuan Shao frowned even though he knew the truth.

"Zhongzhi, don't you know Liu Xuande's ability. Now we are talking about how to deal with the current battle situation. I don't know why Zhongzhi taught me?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was a little impatient, Xin Ping was not in a hurry, and continued: "Master Mingjian, because Liu Xuande is powerful, we must gather the power of the princes to rule, so as to have a chance of winning.

In my humble opinion, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, and my lord should summon the princes to clarify the frontline battle situation.Then the army of the pro-commands marched to Mount Tai, so the princes must follow, and under the unity of will, it is easy to break Xuzhou! "

Xin Ping's meaning is very clear, if you conceal the news, after the princes find out, the hearts of the princes will inevitably be scattered.

But if you directly tell the princes the news of Wang Kuang's defeat, even if people's hearts are unstable for a while, as long as we lead by example and take the lead in fighting Liu Bei, these princes will definitely be willing to help.

When Yuan Shao heard it, he immediately felt that what Xin Ping said was more reasonable.

A conspirator must not be able to last for a long time, on the contrary, it is better to be upright.

"Okay, as Zhongzhi said." Yuan Shao slammed the table and said, "But before summoning the princes, I have to bother you to go far and invite Meng De here, and I have some important matters to discuss with him. "

Hearing this, Xu You quickly stood up and cupped his hands, "Wei!"

However, where no one else could see, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Xu You's eyes.

It is not only a comment on Yuan Shao, but also a comment on Xin.

When Xu You was ordered to invite Cao Cao, Cao Cao was actually discussing the matter with his subordinates.

As Yanzhou Mu, he naturally has his own sources of news.

"Zhicai, now that the [-]-strong army on Prince's Day has been wiped out, and even he himself does not know whether he is alive or dead, what should he do?"

When he first received the news, Cao Cao was as shocked as Yuan Shao.

When he was seeking Dong, he and Lin Xi also met several times.In his impression, Lin Xi was just a taciturn little doll who either didn't show up or stayed by Liu Bei's side as a guard.

Judging from Liu Xuande's meaning, it should be for Lin Zichu's sake that he brought his younger brother as his confidant, and at the same time brought him by his side to teach him.

But who would have thought that in just one year, he, Liu Xuande, would dare to appoint a little baby as the chief general of an army, and even defeated Wang Gongjie.

Needless to say Lin Zichu's talent, it seems that his younger brother is also extraordinary!
Xi Zhicai sighed softly, and said: "My lord, Wang Gongjie's defeat has been expected for a long time, but I just don't want him to lose so thoroughly, that he will end up completely wiped out."

"Yes, within a few days, the entire army of [-] was wiped out. I really don't know how Lin Zixi used his troops, let alone why Wang Gongjie is so stupid!"

When it came to the end, Cao Cao's tone had a hint of hatred that iron cannot be made into steel.

If you want to piece things together by yourself, you still have to look at the faces of the Yanzhou family. In the end, you can barely make up 5 horses.

If you don’t want these 2 people on Maharaja’s Day, you can give them to me!
What does it mean to give Lin Xi the head directly?
"If nothing unexpected happens, Leader Yuan should have received the news at this moment, and he should send someone to invite the Lord to discuss the matter later." Xi Zhicai said, "When discussing the matter later, no matter what Yuan Benchu ​​intends to do, my lord You can just follow suit. In this war, the princes are unreliable after all, and we have to rely on ourselves to defeat Liu Xuande."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "The words of Zhicai are true, and I will act accordingly. But you need to be extremely careful when you go here. With Lin Zichu's ability, it is impossible to leave obvious omissions. On the side of Guangling County, I'm afraid there are also backhands."

"My lord, don't worry, I will play by ear."

As soon as the two finished speaking, a soldier came to report that Xu You was seeking to see him outside.

"As expected, Benchu ​​is in a hurry." Cao Cao stood up and said, "I'm going to discuss matters with Benchu, so I won't see you off. Remember, be careful in this battle."

Xi Zhicai also stood up, bowed his hands to Cao Cao and said, "I obey."

Having said that, Xi Zhicai's eyes are full of fighting spirit at this moment.

Lin Zichu, last time you saw through your plan to plan Mount Tai, I have nothing to say.

Just look at this battle, whether you can still defeat me!

……

Inside the Allied camp.

After Cao Cao arrived, Yuan Shao told Cao Cao the news of Wang Kuang's defeat.

Cao Cao also cooperated with Yuan Shao's performance, pretending to be shocked.

Yuan Shao saw that his loyal younger brothers were a little flustered, so he quickly put on the appearance of a reliable big brother, saying that Mengde should not worry about him, he already cares about his brother.

Let's unite and do a big fight with Liu Bei in Taishan, win the meat, and carve up Xuzhou, what do you think?

Cao Cao said, ah, yes, yes, you are right, League Leader Yuan.

After receiving Cao Cao's full support, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Xu You to invite all the princes to a meeting.

At the meeting, Leader Yuan first announced the news of Wang Kuang's defeat and expressed his deep regret.

At this moment, the princes exploded in an instant.

Is the Xuzhou army so brave!

That's an army of [-], how could it be wiped out within ten days?

Before the expedition, Wang Kuang asked us to watch him defeat the enemy within ten days.Now that ten days have passed, we have seen him being broken by the enemy, and we have to lament the impermanence of the world.

If the Xuzhou army has this kind of combat power, is it still necessary to fight this battle?
The princes thought that this wave of attacking Xuzhou was a flying dragon riding on the face, but it turned out that they were riding on themselves instead.

Just when people's hearts were about to disperse, fortunately League Leader Yuan stepped forward and shouted to everyone not to panic.

The princes said that you are not panic, and it is not your soldiers who lost.Besides, your Yuan family has a big business, how can we small bodies compare with you.

Or... let's make peace with Liu Bei.

There is no deep hatred between us and Liu Xuande, on the contrary, we are allies who once discussed Dong together.Liu Xuande is always kind and kind, so he will not blame us.

Well, the leader of the four generations and three princes is unreliable, and now he can only fall into the arms of Liu Taiwei.

As for some people who have a deep hatred with Liu Taiwei... Cao Mengde, what do you think, I didn't say it was you.

However, Yuan Shao's next move slightly restored the confidence of the princes.

I saw Yuan Shao slapping the table and saying: "As the prefect of a county, Wang Gongjie has worked hard since he took office to protect the environment and the people. He has lived up to the emperor and the people below. Now he is leading the army to hunt for thieves, but he was brutally killed by Liu Bei. , is tolerable, what is unbearable!"

Although Yuan Shao had already scolded Wang Kuang thousands of times in his heart for being an idiot, but under the eyes of everyone, he obviously couldn't belittle a dead person.

Well, the whole army was wiped out, and Wang Kuang himself is unknown, so let him be dead by default.

Anyway, after the entire army was wiped out, it didn't matter whether Wang Kuang was dead or alive.

Yuan Shao shouted angrily: "Liu Bandit's crime is extremely heinous, his crime is serious, and his crime cannot be punished. For some reason, tomorrow I will use all the best soldiers to attack Liu Bandit and secure the country."

A good pre-war declaration turned into a large-scale double-standard scene in the end.

But after hearing the words, the eyes of the princes really brightened.

It doesn't matter what you Yuan Benchu ​​say, as long as you don't let me lead the army to fight Xuzhou to death, then I will definitely support it with both hands.

Especially now, seeing that Yuan Shao is willing to use his troops to fight Liu Beishi, it is really the best situation.

After all, although Liu Bei is benevolent, he always treats poor families equally.In order to avoid damage to their own interests, the princes are not willing to stand with Liu Bei unless it is a last resort.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, took the lead in expressing his opinion: "The leader of the alliance is wise. The thief Liu has been arrogating for a long time. Now is the time to attack. Although we have few soldiers, we are still willing to help the leader defeat the thief!"

"I would like to help the lord to hunt down the thieves!"

"I would like to help the lord to hunt down the thieves!"

"I would like to help the lord to hunt down the thieves!"

……

Well, you go first, we'll be there later.

As for really helping you or talking about it, it depends on what kind of results you can achieve.

There were endless voices of agreement, Yuan Shao was overjoyed to see it, and secretly thanked that he had listened to Xin Ping's suggestion.

At present, the princes are not sincere in their agreement, and Yuan Shao can't see it, but as long as he can win a few games, these people will rush to attack Mount Tai as before.

Cao Cao sat at Yuan Shao's head, watching the process with cold eyes.

First, when they heard that Wang Kuang was defeated, all the princes were afraid, but in a blink of an eye, when Yuan Shaoyuan took the lead in the attack, the princes were excited again, wishing to have a decisive battle with Liu Bei tomorrow.

Zhicai is right, this time against Xuzhou, after all, he can only rely on himself.

As for these princes...

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth, and his eyes were full of disdain.

It's not a bunch of mediocre villains who are full of wine and food!
What's the point of conspiring with a group of common people?
