Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 502
"Bang~"

Yecheng, Yuan Shao's mansion, the exquisite lacquerware was violently thrown to the ground by Yuan Shao.

"Three days!" Yuan Shao raised his head, the bags under his eyes were blackened, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a bit decadent. Seeing the counselors and generals sitting down, he almost roared: " In just three days, the three counties of Dongjun were lost first, followed by the fall of Huai County, two generals Chunyu Qiong and Sui Yuanjin were killed and the other captured, so could it be that all the troops in southern Chu were descended from heaven!?"

Everyone was silent, Yuan Shao lost his usual noble demeanor, and exuded a violent air all over his body.

After venting, Xu You saw that Yuan Shao was still sulking, thought for a while and said, "My lord, this battle of Chu Nan is a little different from the previous ones, so Lu Bu...why hasn't he seen you so long?"

According to Yuan Shao's layout, the first target is Lu Bu. The generals in the army and the powerful advisers are all waiting for Lu Bu to make a move in Yecheng. .

However, Lu Bu's figure was not seen for a long time. On the contrary, the three armies of Chu Nan, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun were advancing together. Gao Shun encountered some troubles on the other side. And Yuan Shao also became vigilant, so Gao Shun was unable to cross the river for a long time.

However, for Yuan Shao, the current Chu Nan and Zhang Liao armies crossing the river have already posed a threat to Yecheng. If the strategy set before is followed, he is afraid that these two armies will reach Yecheng.

Now Xia Houyuan led the generals of the Cao family to garrison Liyang to block Zhang Liao, but Chun Yuqiong was defeated on the road south of Chu. If he did not send people to stop him, no matter whether he went directly to Yecheng or turned to Liyang to attack Xia Houyuan, he would not be able to deal with them. Both are unfavorable.

Xu You's problem is also everyone's problem. With Lu Bu's temperament, can he settle down in the war and stay behind?
If they were really left behind, that would be fine. There must be a rift between Lu Bu and Chu Nan. Now that Chu Nan is not with Lu Bu, as long as someone who is good at eloquence is sent to Lu Bu's place, there is a possibility of instigating Lu Bu's rebellion. .

It is impossible for Chu Nan to do such an unwise move.

But until now, Lu Bu hasn't even shown his face, which really makes people feel uneasy. So where did Lu Bu go?

"How about sending a general to stop Chu Nan?" Feng Ji suggested.

"No!" Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Xu You said almost at the same time.

Tian Feng frowned and said: "Lu Bu didn't show up at this time, obviously Chu Nan also counted on this point, if our army makes a rash move, it will be tricked by the other side."

At this time, no one dared to underestimate Chu Nan's resourcefulness. Whatever they could think of, Chu Nan must have thought of it, and it was for this reason that he kept Lu Bu hidden and never used it.

"But now that Hanoi has fallen, Dongjun is also in jeopardy. The bandit army can go to Yecheng at any time. If that happens, our army's morale will definitely be frustrated!" Feng Ji said with a wry smile.

Letting the enemy hit their own capital, no matter whether it causes damage or not, it will be a major blow to the morale of the entire army.

Xun You, who had never said a word, said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, there is someone who recommends me, who can rival Chu Nan!"

"Who is it?" Yuan Shao looked at Xun You and forced a smile, he probably guessed it.

"Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao!" Xun You said with a smile, "Yuan Gong, General Cao was highly valued when he was under Cao Gong's command.

"Hmph, Xia Houyuan has been stationed in Dongjun County, and now Cao Ren is sent to tell the world that there is no one in the lonely tent?" Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

Xia Houyuan blocked Zhang Liao, while his own generals Chunyuqiong and Sui Yuanjin were beheaded. Comparing the two, does it mean that no one in his camp is available?
"Yuan Gong, Cao Gong has passed away, and the generals of the Cao family are now deployed by Yuan Gong. People in the world will only say that Yuan Gong is open-minded, and that the elites under Yuan Gong's account are all here. It is not that no one is available, it is true In order to deal with the main force of the enemy army, you have to hold back, how can there be no one to use? Since Cao’s general is deployed by Yuan Gong, he is also serving Yuan Gong, and he is also a member of Yuan Gong!” Xun You said with emotion.

Yuan Shao was jealous of the generals of the Cao family, which Xun You didn't quite understand. Apart from Yuan Shao, who else could the Cao family defect to?From this point of view, Yuan Shao's heart is not as good as that of Chu Nan and Cao Cao.

Look at Chu Nan's generals, such as Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Li Tong, Lu Qian, etc., which one is not a general, but see how smoothly Chu Nan uses it?

"My lord, you can order Cao Ren to be the chief general. How about choosing another military advisor to assist Cao Ren?" Guo Tu was moved in his heart, looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile, "I have someone to recommend. If he helps, he will be able to stop Chu Nan."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu, his expression relaxed a lot, nodded and said, "Who does Gongze recommend?"

"Hanoi, Sima Yi!" Guo Tu bowed.

"Why is Sima Yi here?" Yuan Shao asked puzzled.

"After Chu Nan broke the ferry, the Sima family felt uneasy, so they gave up their family property and came to Yecheng to join his eldest son Sima Lang. Now our army is in the midst of employing people, and I heard that Sima Yi is far more talented than his brother. Now Why not use the whole family to vote?" Guo Tu laughed.

After the fall of Cao Cao, Sima Lang directly left the Central Plains and returned to Huai County. Not long after, Yuan Shao recruited people, and Sima Lang took advantage of the opportunity to serve under Yuan Shao. Now he is the county magistrate of Yecheng. It can be seen that Yuan Shao still values ​​Sima Lang. of.

"Gu Ye has heard about Zhongda's talent for a long time." Yuan Shao nodded. The Yuan family and the Sima family still have a good relationship. Now that the Sima family has come, it is natural to settle him down. After thinking about it, he said: "Gu heard that Sima Zhongda has an amazing talent, but?"

"There are rumors in the market, I don't know if it's true or not." Guo Tu shook his head, but he didn't see what talent this Sima Yi had, and the rumors seemed to come from the Central Plains. A talent in the world, no less than any top strategist in the world.

From Guo Tu's point of view, this is somewhat flattering, but he has a good impression of Sima Yi.

"Then Sima Yi is here?" Yuan Shao asked with a smile.

"My lord, if you want to see him, you can invite someone to Sima's mansion, and he is at home now." Guo Tu nodded.

"Then let's call him, Gu also wants to meet this young talent from the Sima family." Yuan Shao laughed.

Seeing the guards go to invite him, Xun You sighed. It seems that Cao Ren will not be the main general this time. Although Yuan Shao has not seen Sima Yi yet, he is obviously more inclined to Sima Yi. As long as Sima Yi's performance is not too bad, this time The chief general, I'm afraid it will fall on Sima Yi.

Soon, Sima Yi, led by the guards, came to the General's Mansion in a hurry. After seeing Yuan Shao, he bowed and said, "Sima Yi, see the General!"

"Zhongda get up." Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaling Sima Yi to get up and speak.

"Thank you, General!" Sima Yi stood up slowly.

"That's right." Yuan Shao looked at Sima Yi and said with a smile, "I heard that Zhong Da has an amazing talent, but when I saw him today, he really is a rare talent!"

"It doesn't matter, it's just nonsense from an ignorant scumbag!" Sima Yi shook his head hastily, cursing Chu Nan a hundred times in his heart. Yes, I also know his character, he would never be so ostentatious, it must be what Chu Nan did, and as for the purpose, Sima Yi couldn't think of any other reason besides flattering and killing him and making him make enemies here.

"How does Zhong Da feel about the current war?" Yuan Shao asked with a smile.

Sima Yi did come here with the purpose of becoming an official this time, and also to help Yuan Shao defeat Chu Nan. Now that Yuan Shao asks this question, he must want to use himself. This time he did not hide his clumsiness. pros and cons.

Yuan Shao's local warfare here has local advantages, but most of Yuan Shao's troops are trained, and there are naturally elites who have been on the battlefield, but they are far from fighting south and north like Chu Nan and Cao Cao. Bian is not as elite as Chu Nan, but in terms of numbers, Yuan Shao has the upper hand.

In addition, there is the people's hearts. Although Chu Nan wooed the common people and local poor families in the Central Plains, the people here don't know that the people's hearts in Jizhou are basically on Yuan Shao's side.

Finally, there are generals. Yuan Shao has many generals, and there are not a few powerful generals, but there are also many generals in Chunan. The most important thing is that there is a war killer Lu Bu.

As long as Lv Bu did not appear on the battlefield for a day, Yuan Shao could not feel at ease. With Lv Bu's marching speed and Jizhou's vast plain terrain, Lv Bu led a cavalry and could appear at any position on the battlefield at any time.

An enemy with extremely destructive power but no one knows where it is, this is the most terrifying.

Sima Yi can understand why Yuan Shao is deploying in such a way now, even if Hedong is lost, he didn't send out the most powerful general, not because he doesn't want to send out, but because he wants to deal with Lu Bu at any time.

But ordinary generals, facing opponents such as Chu Nan and Zhang Liao, are obviously not enough. Even Chun Yuqiong, who was also the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan in the past, was captured alive. This should be regarded as the top military general Yuan Shao can send now. one of them.

Tian Feng, Ju Shou and the others also asked a few questions, and Sima Yi answered them fluently.

This son is indeed extraordinary, maybe he may not be a shocking talent, but his talent is not inferior to anyone present.

"If Zhong Da is the commander in chief, might he win against Chu Nan?" Xu You asked suddenly.

"This..." Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Chu Nan followed Lu Bu in the past, fought in the south and in the north, and had few defeats. If I want to block Chu Nan, I may be somewhat sure, but if I want to defeat him, I'm afraid." It is difficult to be competent, and I am not good at commanding troops, and I have never had experience in commanding troops in the past."

The meaning was already obvious, it was fine to let him block Chu Nan, but he couldn't do it if he was to be the main general.

After Yuan Shao thought for a while, he looked at Sima Yi and said, "In this way, with Cao Ren as the general, he will lead [-] troops to fight against Chunan, and Zhong Da will sacrifice wine for the army teacher, and go out with the army to help Cao Ren defend against the enemy. Is Zhong Da willing?"

Cao Ren?

Sima Yi nodded, bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "I would like to share my worries for the great general!"
