Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1557 Eat Hebei, each has its own deployment!
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the arrival of the second year of Taiwu is a brand new beginning, which will kick off the prelude to the Ming Dynasty's unification of the world.

This is the fourth year of Jian'an, compared to the Han Dynasty, which was set in the west.

The four years of Jian'an is not just a matter of recuperation, it is the beginning of the last glory of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the most critical year for the continuation of the Han Dynasty.

Only three days after the new year, and the fourth day of the fourth year of Jian'an, the Wei Palace couldn't wait to issue three secret edicts in a row. All edicts were military orders, and the content was to summon the main force of the troops and horses to go south and prepare for the north immediately.

Cao Cao didn't even want to wait until after the beginning of spring, he couldn't wait to start the battle, to eliminate the last hidden danger inside.

His fierce operation like a tiger also caused Hebei to become a little panicked immediately, and the various ministries of the Zhou army also mobilized one after another.

On the banks of the Yellow River, every day there is the sound of horseshoes and shadows of people.

"Okay, he wants to fight, so why not be afraid of a fight!" Yuan Shao was in a state of desperation at this moment, and Cao Cao would not let him live for a year, so he was naturally upset.

"Order the generals of all ministries to gather forces and press the whole line to the south!"

His last bravery was forced out by Cao Cao.

In this battle, it is impossible not to fight.

However, his sanity is still there. At this time, it is irrational to fight on two fronts. Spring starts early in the south, so you don't need to take into account the so-called northern situation for the time being.

He wants to put all his eggs in one basket and start recruiting young and strong men continuously, let go of the arsenal, open the grain depot, and summon soldiers to the front line immediately.

The decisive battle at Guandu is imminent.

..........................................

Xu capital city.

Cao Cao's military order has been issued, the entire court, there is no one to discuss peace, last year someone played a proposal to discuss peace and welcome Yuan Shao into the court, which directly made him lose his head. After that, the imperial court had no choice but to fight against one faction.

"Did Lu Bu press it up?"

Cao Cao knelt before the case and looked at Jia Xu.

"Although the Bingzhou Army suffered a lot of casualties in the last year's battle, Lu Bu can't take care of it now, and his main force is overwhelmed!" Jia Xu cupped his hands: "Guo Jijiu is watching, he dare not shirk!"

Guo Jia is a military commander offering wine. When Cao Cao is not on the front line, he is the commander in chief. All the generals on the front line are under his command.

"Very good!"

Cao Cao nodded: "I wanted to wait a little longer, but I found out that if I wait any longer, it may turn Yuan Benchu's fortunes back. This man should not be underestimated!"

Yuan Shao seemed to be at a dead end, but he couldn't be underestimated.

Once he relaxes.

The possibility of Yuan Shao's comeback exists. This kind of hero is born in the fourth generation and the third father. At most, he has some flaws in his personality, but once he reacts and regains his sanity, he may become a turtle.

Now he is not afraid of Yuan Shao going to war, but he is afraid that Yuan Shao will hide. In this case, if Yuan Shao counterattacks and defends, they will lose a lot of vitality.

After all, Hebei is still the granary of the world, and it has enough national power to support Yuan Shao's delay.

If it really takes three to five years.

It is estimated that the great Han court will not be saved.

"Your Majesty, on Guan Yu's side, should he be allowed to command the army?" Xun Yu asked while sitting beside him, clasping his hands.

"Kuan?"

Cao Cao liked this general very much, but unfortunately he knew in his heart that Guan Yu, whom he admired, would never serve under him in his life.

It's not that he hasn't tried to kill.

On the one hand, he admired Guan Yu, and when he attacked such a person, it was not that he felt a burden in his heart, but that he felt a little regretful.

The reason why Cao Cao is a hero is that he is not afraid of killing people, but he is unwilling to act against his will.

On the other hand, he can't turn his back on Yan Guo in Youzhou at present. Uncle Liu Huang won the name of Uncle Huang, and his power in the north is growing.

If there were no foreign troubles from the Ming Dynasty, he could do some calculations, but under the current situation of unanimous external cooperation, he had better not touch Guan Yu.

But let Guan Yu command the troops, he is not prepared for this.

"Let him be the vanguard of the army!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Xiahou's army lacks a vanguard general. He is the most suitable one. He will be the vanguard in Hebei!"

"Yes!"

Xun Yu nodded when he heard the words, this should be the best arrangement.

"What about the Jiangdong side?" Xun Yu took a deep breath and asked, "If King Wu doesn't leave now, it doesn't mean he won't leave in the future. Let's stop, or not!"

"Don't stop!"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Sun Bofu is an interesting person. Gu and him have a little bit of sympathy. Even if one day Gu wants to fight Jiangdong, he must first solve the north. He will be the last enemy. Before turning his face, He is still Gu's most loyal ally!"

"My lord, I don't think King Wu will leave Xudu in a short time!" Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "He intends to let the Wu army participate in the battle of Hebei, which means that he will not go back to Jiangdong for the time being. The imperial court stands firm!"

"I heard that he has visited many court ministers these days, and even went to the Yang Mansion?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"Yes!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "He's here to pay a personal visit!"

"With such a big fanfare, isn't he afraid of being alone?" Cao Cao was a little confused about Sun Bofu's plan.

"Sun Bofu should have a more powerful counselor by his side to advise him!"

Jia Xu said: "We really can't be disgusted with what he did, especially at this time, he showed that he integrated himself into the court, instead of letting the Jiangdong Wu Kingdom split the mind of a big man, we have to thank him! "

"That statement makes sense!"

Cao Cao nodded immediately when he heard this.

As long as Jiangdong Wu is willing to integrate the political power, he will be happy, but this is basically impossible, Jiangdong is already an independent royal palace.

It is impossible for the Wu regime to return to the Han.

But even the superficial appearance is a good thing. This makes outsiders see that the big man is always a whole. For Cao Cao, there are many things missing.

"Your Majesty, I still have to go to Hebei!" Jia Xu cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "Hebei is about to collapse, and there will always be some people who will take action!"

"Youzhou?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light burst out from his eyes: "In Xiliang back then, talents emerged in an endless stream. With a poisonous man like you and a sinister man like Li Wenyou, if Dong Zhuo could have three points of patience, he wouldn't be able to What a fate!"

It is no secret that Li Ru followed Liu Bei.

Just like Li Ru knew Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also knew Li Ru.

The two have clashed for dozens of rounds.

"Your Majesty, it's not just Youzhou. Youzhou must have plans for Hebei. I'm sure Li Wenyou has already bought off Yuan Benchu's civil servants and generals, but I'm more worried about the thieves!"

Jia Xu said: "Under Ming Thief's command, Jingwu Sifang is the leader of the dark net in the world. Although the Ming thief is gathering troops and not sending troops to harass us, Jingwu Si will definitely play tricks. Jingwu Si has two guards on the left and right. Although the letter is mysterious, it has been in Xudu. It seems that I have no time to come out recently, but I can relax a little bit. But I have news that Jingwu Zuosi, Commander Tan Zong, has gone to Hebei, probably in Yecheng. I have to Go there yourself, otherwise the people below will not be able to deal with this vicious lame Jing Wusi!"

"Xin Zhao, I have met, Tan Zong..."

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth raised a sneer: "This cripple is quite capable!"

Yelou's news network has become more and more complete, and its penetration into the Ming Dynasty has also become more and more powerful, gathering a lot of internal news from Jingwu Division.

For Tan Zong, the commander of Jingwu Division, his understanding is getting deeper and deeper.

Tan Zong is a lame man.

It's no secret anymore.

Cao Cao was very unfamiliar with this name at first, but after he knew about the changes in Xudu last year, he became even more afraid after knowing some of the roles this person played in it.

"I guess the reason why he appeared in Hebei at this time is not that he cares more about the battle between us and Hebei, but to make plans for the future. One is to bury nails. If Hebei is defeated, we must accept the land of Hebei. People from Hebei, when the time comes, he will take the opportunity to sneak in, then we will be hard to guard against, and the other one, he may take away some talents from Hebei!"

Jia Xu said softly: "Although Zhou Guo was defeated, there are still some talents among the civil servants and generals under Yuan Shao's command, who can be worthy of great positions. What the Ming court lacks most may be talents, although I already have some talents in Hebei. It's arranged, but when facing him, I still can't take it lightly, I want to go to Yecheng myself, and it's best to catch him!"

"Tan Zong is not easy to mess with, but there is one more thing, Yuan Benchu ​​is not easy to mess with either!" Cao Cao reminded: "Don't look at him as if he is desperate now, such a person is the scariest when he becomes crazy, and besides, there must be a lot of people around him!" Diehard, if you are not careful, your whereabouts will be exposed, and he will not show mercy!"

"Master, have confidence!"

Jia Xu raised a confident smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Do it with confidence!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It just so happened that I was alone to chat with Zhang Yan!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Montenegro must be our surprise soldier!"

"Ok!"

Cao Cao nodded, he was a little suspicious now: "But Wenhe, what kind of chess pieces do you think Liu Xuande buried in Hebei?"

"This is still under investigation!"

Jia Xu said: "Although we have found out that Li Wenyou entered Yecheng and contacted someone, but there is no specific information yet. At present, anyone is possible!"

"never mind!"

Cao Cao didn't mind these small details either. He turned around and said to Xun Yu, "I'm going to the north soon to conquer in person. In this battle, I have to go to the battlefield in person. I entrust you with the affairs of the court, and Cao Zixiu also entrusts me to you." Here it is for you, if he can become a talent, thank you alone, if he can't become a talent, you can do whatever you want, I don't know that there is such a son, the world is the most important!"

Cao Ang, his eldest son, the son of King Wei, most people regard him as the heir of Cao Cao. He has taught everything he can teach, whether it is well-intentioned or hard-working, in short, he has done everything he can do.

The rest depends on Cao Ang's own fortune.

"Sir, obey!" Xun Yu knelt and cupped his hands, accepting the order.

..................................................................

Youzhou.

Thistle City.

Liu Bei also didn't have the atmosphere of celebrating the new year. Since last year, he has been busy with starting the war. How can he have time to prepare for the new year, so this new year in Jicheng is also a bit shabby.

Moreover, when the news came back that Cao Cao of the Central Plains had begun to mobilize troops, he immediately started to move.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that his battle was not just fought by Yuan Shao.

Still fighting with Cao Cao.

Fight for what?
Fighting for Hebei, fighting for luck, fighting for fame, and fighting for the orthodox position.

It is a tacit understanding in their hearts to fight but not to fight.

"Is there any news about the three generals coming back?" Liu Bei knelt on the main hall, put his hands on the brazier and roasted for a while, and the hot air also dispelled the cold in the north of the tribe.

This winter is colder than usual.

Youzhou is even worse.

Covered with heavy snow, local roads were difficult to access, and houses in many county towns were crushed and collapsed. I don't know how many people were buried in the heavy snow.

But now Liu Bei doesn't have much compassion, he only has one focus at present, and that is to go south to fight, occupy Hebei, and unify the north.

"not yet!"

It was Guan Jing who answered him. Guan Jing had established his position as a counselor in Yan State. He was the one Liu Bei trusted, and he lived in the center for many years.

He said in a low voice: "The three generals have a violent personality. The general is outside, and the military orders are not accepted. He may not be willing to fight according to the emperor's wishes!"

"I don't know!"

Liu Bei smiled: "Gu is the most clear about Yide's temperament, but this is a shortcoming as well as a strength, and he will still listen to Gu's order to some extent!"

He asked Zhang Fei to fight high-ranking cadres, which was a local war.

Compared with playing Hebei, playing high-ranking cadres is too childish, and Zhang Fei will definitely be depressed.

However, Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and now he is the only general of the Zhou army in Bingzhou. If Gao Gan cannot be taken down, there is no way to leave Yuan Shao alone.

"Hope it!"

Guan Jing smiled wryly, he didn't quite trust Zhang Fei's character.

"Don't worry, there is Pang Shiyuan!" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes: "Pang Shiyuan is quite capable, and I am going to support him. If he can make Yide fight this battle smoothly, I will let him lead Bingzhou!"

"This kid is quite capable!"

Guan Jing also nodded: "But my lord, the battle to the south is not easy to fight. We still have to be careful. It will be a matter of time before Bingzhou wins, but if Hebei moves, we will be passive!"

"Why doesn't Gu know!"

Liu Bei nodded: "In fact, if it is Gu, Gu would not dare to fight Hebei alone. Yuan Benchu's background is too great. Gu captured Hejian last year, but he lost Hejian this year!"

Not being called back.

Instead, they were backlashed by the local people, causing the officials they sent to be killed, wounded, and scattered troops to be attacked.

This proves that Yuan Shao obviously has a very deep background in local management, otherwise he would not have won the hearts of the people so much and made Liu Bei suffer a lot.

"Now that he is attracted by Cao Mengde, if Gu doesn't send troops to the south, he won't be able to seize the opportunity. This is impossible!" Liu Bei said with a sneer: "And Gu has already deployed!"

"Mr. Li has gone south?"

Guan Jing asked tentatively.

"Ok!"

Liu Bei nodded.

Li Wenyou's southward trip was not for the sake of seeing the scenery. It would be better to open the fortress from the inside. As long as Yecheng is messed up, he can win in the chaos.
