Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 Yuan's counselor, -2
Just after the second year of Jian'an, the atmosphere in Hanoi County began to become weird.

The location of Hanoi County is exactly in the middle of the sphere of influence of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and there will be a battle between the two sooner or later.As the relationship between Cao and Yuan became increasingly tense, Zhang Yang, who was caught between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, became increasingly sad.

Recently, there seemed to be a lot of rumors all over the place overnight.

There are rumors that Zhang Yang intends to abandon Hanoi County and go to Lu Bu; there are also rumors that some of Zhang Yang's subordinates are plotting to kill Zhang Yang and intend to defect to Yuan Shao; what's more, Zhang Yang already knows who has evil intentions and is deliberately showing slack. They looked like they were ready to seize a good time and wipe them all out.
Based on the plan of the five counselors, Cao Cao decided to act first, preparing to erode Zhang Yang secretly, hoping to take Hanoi County before Yuan Shao.

There is no better way to defeat an enemy than to disintegrate it from within.

Under the leadership of Yan Feng, the Yingwei Jiazi Battalion began to carry out frequent activities in Hanoi County.

All kinds of rumors and rumors come from their hands.

What made Zhang Yang and his subordinates feel guilty most was that some of these rumors happened to hit their hearts.

The power of gossip should not be underestimated, especially when the parties involved have ghosts in their hearts.

Sure enough, not long after, something happened in Hanoi County!

Zhang Yang's general, Yang Chou, had long wanted to rebel.

Recently, the rumors have been spread in earnest, and Yang Chou's sense of urgency has deepened day by day. He is very afraid that Zhang Yang will find out his ulterior motives, and thus lose his life.

Later, the shadow guard discovered Yang Chou's problem, so he took the initiative to contact him, and gave him strong support and generous promises.

Yang Chou finally accepted the arrangement of the shadow guard, set up a trap to ambush Zhang Yang, and publicly stated that he would join Cao Cao, intending to lure Cao Cao into Hanoi County.

However, just when Yingwei and Yang Chou felt that they were stable, Zhang Yang's subordinate Shi Xuehong, in order to avenge his old claim, joined forces with the rest of the soldiers to kill Yang Chou while he was lax.

After Xue Hong killed Yang Chou, he set up troops and shot dogs, and even announced to the outside world that they had taken refuge in General Yuan Shao.

The shadow guard saw that the situation was getting out of control, so he quickly sent the news back to Chen Liu, hoping that Cao Cao could dispatch troops as soon as possible, otherwise, once Yuan Shao reacted, Hanoi would become Yuan Shao's possession.

Guo Jia didn't dare to neglect, and immediately handed over the news to Cao Cao.

Hanoi County is a very important strategic hub on the north bank of the Yellow River.Its importance is self-evident.

Cao Cao did not have the problem of vacillating like Yuan Shao. He immediately assembled an army, and in April of the third year of Jian'an, he sent Cao Ren, Shi Huan, Le Jin, Xu Huang and others totaling [-] troops to cross the Yellow River and approach the enemy. dog.

When Cao Cao's army came to attack, Xue Hong led the troops to defend Shegou, and at the same time sent people to the north to seek Yuan Shao's help.

However, all the messengers sent by Xue Hong to ask for help were robbed and killed by the shadow guards.

Xue Hong, who couldn't wait for the reinforcements for a long time, was finally broken by Cao Ren and Shi Huan when Yuan Shao reacted on his own.

After Shegou City was broken, Xue Hong committed suicide by slaying himself, and the rest of the generals surrendered to Cao Cao under the leadership of Wei Zhong.

Hanoi has always been Zhang Yang's territory, and the remaining Xue Hong forces after Zhang Yang's internal annexation also turned to Yuan Shao instead of Cao Cao.

Forcibly occupying a territory that has not been supported by the people will definitely be detrimental to the upcoming Cao Yuan war.

But Wei Zhong, who led the crowd to surrender, is very familiar with the situation in Hanoi County, and he also has some ability and reputation.

Instead of being the overlord himself, it is better to let Wei Zhonglai be the prefect of Hanoi, and stabilize Hanoi County as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao can free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao learned that Hanoi County had fallen into Cao Cao's hands, he immediately flew into a rage. You, Cao, even put your hand into Lao Tzu's trouser pocket, what was your intention?
In a rage, Yuan Shao immediately summoned his civil and military officials to discuss a plan to attack Cao Cao.

But on this bad head, Ju Shou, who had just been released from prison, stood up again.

Ju Shou was also the first to jump out and raise objections to Yuan Shao. It has to be said that Tietouwa is really tough.

Jushou stood up, cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao, "My lord! We have been fighting with Gongsun Zan for years, and the people are suffering, and there is no surplus food in the warehouse. With the continuous war, the people are taxed heavily. This is an internal worry that we need to solve urgently! Yichen I see, we should learn from Cao Cao's emphasis on agriculture and commerce, and at the same time lighten the burden on the common people and recharge their batteries."

At this time, Tian Feng also stood up and offered his advice: "My lord, what you said is true. And when we are recuperating, we can also station troops in Liyang, manage the northern part of the Yellow River, and reorganize our troops. At the same time, we You can send troops across the Yellow River to outflank and harass Cao Cao's border areas, making him restless day and night.

Then Cao Cao is weakening from exhaustion, but we are growing stronger while recuperating. Only three years later, the victory or defeat will be decided! "

While recuperating and resting, they kept harassing Cao Cao. It has to be said that Ju Shou and Tian Feng's strategy was very safe.

However, they overlooked a fatal point, that is, the development speed under Cao Cao's rule is far faster than that under Yuan Shao's rule.

The judge saw this, so he stood up and objected: "Master, Lu Yan is under Cao Cao's command, and he is very good at management. Under his governance, a weak county in Yanzhou is now rich in the world! It's not true I let other people's ambition destroy my prestige, I am afraid that in terms of development speed alone, we really can't compare with Cao Cao!"

Jushou and Tian Feng thumped in their hearts, and after looking at each other, they secretly said badly: "Oops! How did you forget that person!"

Sure enough, Guo Tu, who had always been hostile to Jushou and Tian Feng, stood up.

Jushou Tianfeng made a rare mistake. How could Guo Tu let go of such a good opportunity?
Guo Tu glanced at Tian Feng and Ju Shou, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Then, he cupped his hands and saluted Yuan Shao, saying: "My lord, what Zheng Nan said is the truth.

Think about it, what was Cao Cao like after he defeated Dong Zhuo?What's the situation now?
Then Lu Yan's Wenzhi martial arts can be said to be rare in 500 years, so give him three years?

It's just a big joke! "

Seeing that Tian Feng and Ju Shou were speechless, Guo Tu took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "Actually, with your current military strength and wise and powerful abilities, my lord, it is not easy to defeat Cao Cao, who has not yet fully risen. ? If we really wait until three years later when Cao Cao's wings are full, I'm afraid the outcome will be uncertain!"

Speaking of this, Guo Tu began to get angry: "Guo is stupid, but he can think of this son Gonghe and Yuan Hao who have always regarded themselves as resourceful people, why did they miss such crucial information? I'm afraid, you have ulterior motives, yes On purpose, right?"

"Guo Tu! You're spitting blood!!" Ju Shou started to get mad again
Yuan Shao rubbed his aching forehead, and said impatiently: "Put Jushou Tianfeng in prison, and when they realize their mistake, they will release him."

Ju Shou: "My lord, you can't believe all the words of a villain! My lord!"

Tian Feng: "."

"Fork out!"
