Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 448 Siege of Ye City
Yecheng, in the residence of the General.

Back then, Wen had Tian Feng, Xu You, and Ju Shou; Wu had Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Qu Yi
But now, Yuan Shao looked at the four remaining counselors in the hall, namely Shenpei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, and Xin Ping,

Looking at the other side with Yuan Shang as the leader, he couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for the three or two little cat generals, "Since when did I have so many talented civil servants and fierce generals in the past, become so rare?"

After putting aside all personal feelings, Yuan Shao finally began to calm down and reflect on the past carefully, "The beginning of all this deterioration. It seems that it started when I sent Ju Shou and Tian Feng to the prison."

At the beginning they persuaded Yuan Shao to fight steadily, but Yuan Shao wanted to underestimate the enemy and make a rash advance. As a result, the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were defeated at the beginning.
Later, Xu You rebelled, Wuchao was burned, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others surrendered Cao, and Yuan Shao's strength plummeted.

After the defeat at Guandu, Yuan Shao should have recuperated and strengthened his defense.

But he insisted on going his own way, putting all his eggs in one basket and gathering the troops of the four states, intending to go south to attack Cao again, to avenge his shame.

It's a pity that Cangting was defeated again, Yuan Shao's spine was broken, and he could no longer be compared with Cao Cao.

Thinking of Jushou and Tian Feng, and understanding the cause and effect of his repeated defeats, Yuan Shao finally began to face up to his past shortcomings.

"A 50 army. Counselors are like rain, and fierce generals are like clouds. I, Yuan Benchu, why am I here?" There is no harm if there is no comparison. With this comparison, Yuan Shao was immediately hit in his heart.

The civil and military officials who were standing in the hall waiting to discuss the matter of defending the city suddenly heard Yuan Shao, who was at the top, let out a long sigh, and said, "Masters, it is I, Yuan Shao, who is incompetent and has troubled you all."

The judge is the most upright, he said: "My lord, why did you say that? We also have the reinforcements of Bingzhou governor, Youzhou governor and eldest son Yuan Tan. We only need to stick to it for one to two months. When the reinforcements arrive, he Cao Cao It's just a turtle in a urn!"

As Yuan Shao's current mastermind, Guo Tu naturally couldn't just sit back and watch Yuan Shao sink down, "My lord, what Zheng Nan said is right, we just need to stand firm and wait for help, Cao Jun will retreat without a fight."

Yuan Shang also stood up to cheer for his father: "Father, our foundation is still there. Cao Cao's expedition is destined to return without success."

After everyone's analysis and reassurance, Yuan Shao's mood finally improved, and he said, "You are right, I am too pessimistic."

Yuan Shao actually started to admit his mistake. If Xu You were here, he would definitely sigh again: "My lord is wise!"

"My lord, please also order to collect the food and grass in the city and distribute it uniformly in the army. From now on, we can't waste every grain of food."

"allow!"

"My lord, the morale of the soldiers is low. Please also order to confiscate some property from noble families and gentry for military pay and rewards. If the soldiers have rewards, the morale of the soldiers will definitely become high."

"allow!"

"Lord."

The counselors and generals put forward several well-regulated suggestions one after another, and Yuan Shao gave them full support without saying a word.

In a trance, the hesitant Yuan Shao who looked forward and backward disappeared, and was replaced by Yuan Benchu ​​who exuded the light of "Hero" all over his body!
In the big tent of Cao Jun's army, Lu Yan vetoed Xu You's plan to dig the Zhang River to flood Yecheng.

"Mr. Cao, we have always put the people first. If Zhangshui floods the city, then I don't know how many innocent people will be buried in fish belly."

Hearing this, Xu You thought disdainfully in his heart: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, what's the point of being a pariah? This Lu Yan's thinking is too pedantic."

Xu You's thoughts were not over yet, but Cao Cao nodded and agreed: "Mr. Lu's words are reasonable. I, Cao Cao, rely on the people to get to where I am today. Naturally, I can't do such a thing that hurts the people!"

That's right, Lu Yan managed to straighten Lao Cao, and pulled him out of the sinkhole of massacring the city and human flesh. inside
Later, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia also came out to agree with Lu Yan's statement,
With the boss's opening and the support of two important advisers,

In the end Xu You could only retreat resentfully.

"Then wait, how should we break through this city of Ye?" At this moment, someone couldn't help but ask.

As this question was raised again, the scene suddenly fell silent again.

Seeing this, Xu You couldn't help expressing his heartfelt thanks to the guy who was assisted by God, "Don't use my tricks, let's see if you have any other good ways! Don't come to beg me again then, then I promise Someone is not so easy to talk to"

After a while, Xi Zhicai said: "Actually, we are only concerned about two things.

First, the food road is too long, time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport food, and it is easy to be harassed or even cut off by Yuan Jun; second, it is nothing more than the reinforcements from Gao Gan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan, fearing that they will join forces together. Forming an internal and external pincer attack with Yuan Shao made it impossible for us to look at each other head to tail. "

Find the problem, ask it, and fix it.

Many people can think of these two problems, but almost no one thinks of how to solve them.

Regarding Liangdao, Lu Yan suddenly thought of a practice of Cao Cao in history, so he said, "I have an idea about Liangdao, which can be used as a reference for everyone."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Lu, it's all right to talk!"

Lu Yan worked hard to recall and organize his words, trying not to make mistakes when offering advice.

"A certain person once observed the terrain in the upper reaches of Yanjin. I thought, if the Qi River is blocked and all of it flows into Baigou, can we use the Baigou waterway to transport grain and grass? You know, the consumption of transporting grain by water is much smaller than that by land. And it’s going to be much faster.”

As soon as Lu Yan's proposal was uttered, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed brightly, "As expected, Lu Hussar is indeed under his control. The location, people and harmony are all under his control! Yuan Shao's defeat at the hands of him and Prime Minister Cao is really not injustice!"

Xu You couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. After careful recollection, he found that what Lu Yan said was very feasible, and sighed in his heart: "Hehe. Sure enough, there are no worthless people under the reputation, I admire it."

Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu didn't seem to be surprised at all. They had already seen too many miraculous things in Lu Yan. Isn't this little trick easy for Mr. Lu Da?

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and the others, and asked, "Mr. Lu's plan, is it feasible?"

Xi Zhicai and the others, including Xu You, all nodded their heads, cupped their hands and said, "Lu Huanqi's plan is feasible!"

"Hahahaha!" Cao Cao burst into laughter when he heard the words, and said, "Mr. Lu solved a difficult problem for me with the snap of his fingers. I really don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome, anyway, I'm going to prostitute you for nothing." Lu Yan muttered in his heart, but he said, "Why don't Mr. Cao agree to my request?"

"What request?" Cao Cao immediately became vigilant, and said, "Let's make it clear first, we can't ask for that kind of vacation that can last for ten days and a half months."

The corner of Lu Yan's mouth twitched, and he thought: "Am I that kind of person?" Then he added in his heart: "Although I really want to do this."

After calming down, Lu Yan said: "Yan hopes to get more horses in the future!"

"War horse?! Why is this?"

Lu Yan looked back at Lu Lingqi, and then said two words to Cao Cao: "Bingzhou!"
