Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 950 Recognition
Jizhou, Yecheng.

Jizhou Mu Mansion.

Above the lobby, Yuan Shao wore a brocade robe and sat cross-legged at the head of the desk, his words and deeds were majestic and majestic.

In recent years, he has not stood still.

Jizhou was originally Han Fu's base. He seized Jizhou by force and took it. In fact, he lost a lot of reputation. Although he was able to attract scholars by virtue of Yuan's name, he lost the hearts of the people after all.

In the past few years, Youzhou has not been able to enter Youzhou, and there is no chance to go south. Instead, let him calm down, manage the place, and resettle the people. Hebei is a rich place. the support of the people.

This precipitation has actually made him stronger, whether it is military or financial resources, they are far stronger than two years ago.

This also gave him enough confidence to swallow Youzhou and dominate the north.

However, Yuan Shao is still worried about the court. The year before last, the court sent troops to the Kanto region, and the Xiliang army was invincible. They took down half a step of Yanyu and Yuzhou in one fell swoop, and drove Cao Cao and Yuan Shu like a bereaved dog.

He had to be afraid of this strength.

Therefore, if he wants to launch a campaign to unify the north, he must first hold the attention of the imperial court, so that he can send troops with care.

"My lord, Youzhou has increased its troops!"

Tian Feng stood up and clapped his hands to report.

"Let Ju Yi lead the army northward!"

Yuan Shao pondered for a while, and said, "Temporarily stabilize Liu Xuande. As for the day of the great war, at least wait until April, when the weather will be milder. The weather is too cold, which is not good for us. They are used to cold weather in Youzhou, but we are not used to it." !"

"promise!"

Tian Feng nodded in approval.

Youzhou is in the north. Although Hebei is also farther north, the weather is not as cold as in Youzhou. It is only February and there is no snowmelt in the north. The Jizhou army will suffer a lot when fighting.

"My lord, Yizhou has sent a report. The Marquis of Ming won a great victory in the Southern Expedition. Not only did he take down the four counties in Nanzhong, but he also surrendered the biggest hidden danger in Yizhou, the barbarians!" Ju Shou reported.

"This picture of the shepherd dragon really underestimated him a bit!"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes: "Yizhou has fallen into his hands, and now that it has gained such power, it will be difficult to shake his position. He, the master of Yizhou, is firmly seated!"

"Isn't there still Liu Zhang?"

Guo Tu, chief secretary of the Jizhou Mufu's Mansion, frowned, and said softly: "Orthodoxy is still there, he is a yellow-mouthed kid, even if his martial arts are superb, he is rarely recognized by scholars all over the world!"

No matter how strong a person's martial arts and achievements are, if he lacks a justifiable name, he will fall short for the sake of Shan Jiuren.

In this era, the name is sometimes just a fig leaf, but sometimes it becomes very important. Many things pay attention to the integrity of the name, and the teacher is famous.

"Ha ha!"

Yuan Shao sneered: "He doesn't need the approval of scholars, because he doesn't have a good background, and he does have a certain ability to govern the people. If the public opinion is ignorant, it is not difficult to win the hearts of the people!"

"From this point of view, the Minghou Mansion has become a major trend!"

Tian Feng is still somewhat interested in this young hero who has never met before.

"Back then, everyone thought that the Mu clan's downfall was a foregone conclusion, but after all, they underestimated Mu Longtu. In Guanzhong, if everyone worked together, they should be able to nail him to death!" Yuan Shao felt a little confused.

He had seen Mu Jing, and he had a deep hatred with Mu Jing.

The nobles in the world, if you want to say that the one who is inseparable from the Mu family must be the Yuan family. The Yuan family's mansion in Luoyang was destroyed by the Mu family. killed.

This hatred cannot be erased.

But the world is fighting for the top, hating this thing is a bit redundant, Yuan Shao is very calm, he will not be fooled by this hatred: "Now that the Minghou Mansion has become powerful, we can't suppress it even if we want to. Maybe, we The relationship between the two parties should be eased!"

He paused, and said, "After all, our biggest enemy in Jizhou is not him who is far away in the southwest!"

"The lord wants to use the power of Yizhou to hold back the court?" Tian Feng reacted quickly. From Yuan Shao's tone of ease towards Yizhou, he could judge Yuan Shao's thoughts. He had bright eyes and agreed very much: "Yizhou The situation is great, if you say who is the most restless, it is nothing more than the power of the imperial court and Jingzhou. Jingzhou and Yizhou are at most just competing, and there is still room for both sides. The knife must be regarded as the enemy of life and death by the Mu family, how could they pretend that the Mu family is sitting safely in Yizhou, so that the conflict between the two sides will break out sooner or later!"

"But Minghou's mansion is a little low-key!" Ju Shou thought for a while, and said, "Mulongtu doesn't even covet the position of Yizhou Mu. Pushing Liu Zhang to this position forcefully, this may not make the court afraid!"

"So let's give them a hand!"

Yuan Shao laughed, with a sinister smile: "Who are you waiting for to go to Yizhou!"

"What does my lord mean?"

"Such a great victory, we should celebrate it well. Last year, the Minghou Mansion sent an envoy to visit. We in Jizhou naturally have to pay a return visit to express the easing of the relationship between the two parties. At the same time, we also want the world to recognize the power of the Minghou Mansion to govern Yizhou. By the way, we must To make it clear, we only recognize the Minghou Mansion, not the Yizhou State Mufu Mansion. We established diplomatic relations only with the Minghou Mansion. Isn’t he a low-key Mulong Tu? Already!"

"My lord, I admire the young hero quite a lot, why don't I let my subordinates take Jizhou as an envoy to Minghou's mansion!" The examiner stood up and said with a smile.

"It's best that Zhengnan is willing to take this trip!"

Yuan Shao nodded his head, and the judge was regarded as a first-class counselor under his command, second only to Tian Feng Jushou.

Jizhou is very united now.

The defeat of Jizhou in history was more due to Yuan Shao’s injustice, which caused the struggle for heirs to affect the internal affairs. All civil and military personnel are united under his command and are very loyal.

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

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Cao Cao was beaten like a bereaved dog by the Guanzhong Army and the Xiliang Army at the beginning, and lost most of Yanzhou. Within a short period of time, Xuzhou was eaten.

This also gave him a stable place.

Xuzhou is a battleground for military strategists. It not only has a unique strategic location, but Xuzhou is much higher than other places in terms of population and economy.

Tao Qian is not good at fighting, but he is still good at people's livelihood.

However, the Xuzhou he managed was the cheap Cao Cao. Cao Cao sat in Xuzhou and had enough food and financial resources. Then he stationed his troops in Yanzhou and trained his troops with half of the country in Yanzhou.

"Mulongtu's battle was fought too fast!" When the news from Yizhou came back, Cao Cao's first feeling was that it was fast.

He originally thought that this battle would delay the Marquis Ming Mansion for at least two or three years and put them all on the southwestern land, but he never expected that Mu Jing would pacify the southern part of Yizhou and unify the whole of Yizhou in one year.

"My lord, the strength of the Mu army should not be underestimated!" Guo Jia stood in the lower left corner of Cao Cao, cupped his hands and said, "I have received a lot of news from this battle, more about Mu's achievements in iron smelting, and the battle against soldiers." Simplification in horse training!"

He paused, and then said: "In fact, the strength of the Mu army is not very strong, but it is very strong. In Yizhou, it is not a problem to raise 20 troops, but in fact, there are more than [-] soldiers under Mu Longtu's command. The soldiers and horses, the seven armies and seven battalions, are all elites. They practice the strategy of elite soldiers, train soldiers to fight independently, ignore production, and don't care about the order and security of each city. He is training soldiers to fight on the battlefield. Our soldiers, Practice every three days, and you are already an elite soldier, but the soldiers of the Mu army practice every day, so their combat effectiveness will naturally be stretched!"

"This kind of military training consumes a lot, can Yizhou support it?" As Cao Cao's first confidant adviser, in charge of civil, military, military and political affairs under Cao Cao's command, Xun Yu is very young, and he was called Wang Zuozhi when he was young. Whether it is government affairs or military strategy, both have attainments, and they do not only look at problems from one side, but also look at them from a comprehensive perspective.

Military training has never been just a matter for military strategists, its consumption represents the strength of one side of the princes.

"So the shepherd army is streamlined, and its combat effectiveness is also strong. This method is not bad, but it is not easy to emulate. After all, we don't know whether the refined soldiers can bear the pressure of one against two!"

Xi Zhicai said: "In addition, part of their combat effectiveness comes from their weapons. I only discovered in recent years that the Minghou Mansion's breakthroughs in iron smelting are no small matter. I have sent people to make breakthroughs several times, wanting to inquire about their News about new weapons, but their defenses are very tight, and I can only get some swords from their opponents, the Jingzhou army. In comparison, our weapons are not as good as that!"

"I have some experience on this point!" Cao Cao sighed: "In Luoyang in the past, I also met Minghou. This person has a very unique insight into the Mohism's craftsmanship and can innovate!"

"My lord, although it is a backward move to follow suit, we have no other choice but to follow suit, call more craftsmen, invest more financial resources, and develop our weapon forging!" Guo Jia suggested .

"allow!"

Cao Cao nodded.

"My lord, now that the Marquis of Ming has pacified the southern part of Yizhou, and the situation of Yizhou is unstoppable, how should we deal with it?" Xun You stood up and asked, clasping his hands.

Xun You and Xun Yu are both outstanding members of the Xun family. They voted for Cao Ying one after another, more because of their recognition of Cao Cao.

"If you can't hold it down anymore, then lift it up!"

Cao Cao made the same decision as Yuan Shao: "Mujing was born in Huangjin. Although he has the title of Marquis of Ming granted by the imperial court, he cannot be recognized by the world. What is fearful, everyone thinks that the Minghou Mansion was born as a bandit, and it is difficult to achieve great things. It will not be too suppressed, but it will give him a chance to become powerful. Now, he can't be allowed to hide anymore, and immediately send people out to benefit Zhouzhou, pay a visit to Minghou Mansion, pull Minghou Mansion from Yizhou State Mufu, don't let them hide under the name of Yizhou State Mufu, develop Yizhou leisurely, give them some scenery, and also Find them something to do!"

"Understood!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Xun Yu's mouth: "My lord wants to make Yizhou attract the attention of the imperial court!"

"We have rested for more than a year, and now we have recovered a lot of strength. Yanzhou, it's time to get it back!" Cao Cao said: "In addition, our agreement with Cao Mengde is also a good thing. If we can get the land of Qingzhou, we can get it back." It has the strength to suppress Northern Xinjiang!"
