My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 240 The Civil War Begins!
Jian'an four years, spring March.

Spring plowing in most areas has begun to come to an end, and the common people who have worked hard for two or three months have ushered in the first batch of rest time, and the next step is weeding and so on.

However, the pattern in Hebei gradually opened with a great war.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou sent his son to ask for help from the Black Mountain Bandits, and the news spread like wildfire, and Yuan Shao knew about it. After his subordinates suggested, Yuan Shao finally chose to follow suit.

Pretending to be a signal for reinforcements, he lured Gongsun Zan out of the city. In the end, he fought outside the city and killed Gongsun Zan on horseback. He fled into the city but knew that time was running out, so he got drunk all day long.

Up and down, he was separated from morality, and was finally broken by Yuan Shao. He killed his wife and children and finally set himself on fire. His death was a tragic death. With his death, it also completely brought an end to Yuan Shao's dominance in the north.

Youzhou had always catered to the Yuan family, but with the tragic death of Gongsun Zan, the entire Youzhou fell under Yuan Shao's rule as quickly as possible. So far, the entire Qingyou and Hebei prefectures in Hebei were under Yuan Shao's control.

It's just that people never expected that,
Yuan Shao controlled the whole of Hebei, and he didn't want to determine his heir as soon as possible. Instead, he allocated Youzhou to Yuan Xi, and the state to his nephew and high-ranking officials. Qingzhou was stationed by the eldest son Yuan Tan.

The third favorite son, Yuan Shang, stayed in Jizhou.

To use Yuan Shao's meaning, he wanted to train Yuan Shang, but he also wanted several brothers to compete for attention, otherwise one person, one state is something that can be decided by one person?What a complete idiot!

Not to mention that he can't avoid internal conflicts among his heirs, Yuan Shao is lucky to take the initiative to give them a chance, and he was forced to participate in internal frictions even if he didn't want internal conflicts.

The key point is that in this matter, all the counselors had positions, which caused Yuan Shao's thoughts to become more confused.

In the end, Yuan Shao won Youzhou, and Wuhuan took the initiative to make friends, which made Yuan Shao full of confidence. At this moment, he has tens of thousands of armored soldiers, thousands of cavalry, and Wuhuan helps him.

In his view, taking down Cao Cao was as easy as pie.

In the end, under the advice of the scribes of various ministries, first choose the squadron to return to the court, rectify the morale of the army,
As for Cao Cao's side, according to Yuan Shao's intention, it must be fought, and the specific situation has to be discussed.

----

Handu, Xuchang.

As the new capital of Han, Xuchang has countless merchants from south to north, aristocratic families gathered here, and countless people attached to it, and the city is also full of traffic.

At this moment, the general's residence in the city.

Cao Cao listened to the messenger's words, and with a dark face, he said gloomyly: "You said that Gongsun Zan was killed by Yuan Shao? The whole Youzhou surrendered after hearing the news?"

"Exactly!" The messenger nodded.

"Damn it, Gongsun Zan still hasn't made it through this spring after all." Cao Cao clenched his fist, full of anger, he guessed that Gongsun Zan couldn't hold on anymore,
But now that he was killed in battle and Youzhou fell into Yuan Shao's hands, he was still a little irritable, which meant that Yuan Shao's army of more than [-] troops would soon go south.

Damn, this is definitely not good news.

"My lord, time is destiny. Gongsun Zan has long been out of control and will die sooner or later. However, Yuan Shao, as a prince, is so naive that he granted Youzhou to Yuan Xi,"

"Now, under his rule, Qingyou and the four prefectures of Hebei have been sealed off. I am afraid that no one can surpass this person's stupidity." Xun You said with a chuckle.

In his opinion, Yuan Shao's decision was invincible.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's decision and its implementation, it can be seen that Yuan Shaozhi's subordinates are all rogue-headed and mouse-eyed people. I am afraid that internal friction is extremely serious."

Cheng Yu also said with a chuckle.

"Hehe, Jia has said long ago that Yuan Shao is always scheming, and his internal civil servants have different temperaments. This decision is tantamount to shooting himself in the foot."

Guo Jia also stroked his beard and chuckled lightly.

Obviously, Cao Cao's think tanks completely disdain Yuan Shao's various actions.

Cao Cao nodded. Yuan Shao's treatment of heirs was too different from his own. He took his heirs with him to observe and establish heirs.

Even so, Cao Cao's heirs will have some disputes in the future, but they are much smaller than Yuan Shao's disputes.

"My lord, although Yuan Shao is stupid, but the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family now dominate the north, own Qingyou and the four prefectures of Hebei, and have millions of armies under his command, which should not be underestimated."

"And as far as I know, Wuhuan in the north bowed down to Yuan Shao long ago. The decisive battle between our army and Yuan Shao is getting closer, my lord must not be careless."

Xun Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said in a deep voice.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao is stupid but he has the capital to be stupid.

"Wuhuan? Hmph, it's just a mere rascal, and Yuan Shao will only appoint him. If they dare to take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, I will let him come and go, and die as many times as he comes."

Cao Cao snorted coldly, fighting intent burst into his eyes.

He was still very annoyed by Zahu, especially Zahu who didn't listen to his own words. In later generations, because Wuhuan took Eryuan in, Cao Cao directly led his troops to the north for thousands of miles.

Zhang Liao also has the reputation of stepping on Wuhuan with a horse and cutting him with a knife. Even because of this battle, Zhang Liao was ranked among the 64 generals of the Wuhuan Temple. It can also be seen that Cao Cao hated Wuhuan.

Everyone was silent.

"According to Wenruo's intention, how should our army be deployed?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, who could be called his right-hand man and the most important person.

"Later comes first!" Xun Yu said.

"My lord, if there is no accident, after Yuan Shao returned to Ye, after more than a month of rectification, he must order the world to worship the heavens and the earth, and to attack the lord, so the lord should stop with silence."

"First, use the generals to guard Yecheng and guard against Jingzhou."

"Secondly, use the generals to guard Ruyin and guard against Yangzhou."

"The third is to rectify Guanzhong and guard against Xiliang."

"Fourth, rectify the various places under the rule and prevent defections."

"Before the confrontation with Yuan Shao this time, we must prepare this four-defense policy and implement it. Only on this basis can we hope to retreat from the enemy head-on."

Xun Yu was methodical, obviously he had fought the North-South War countless times, and it was extremely rigorous.

Cao Cao nodded. He highly recognized Xun Yu's analysis, and he even thought about it, but it was not as detailed as Xun Yu thought.

"In addition to the four defenses, we need to do this."

"First, prepare more food and grass to avoid future troubles!"

"Second, schedule in advance and strike later!"

"Thirdly, arrange the holy will to overwhelm people with power!"

"My lord, Yu said in the early years that my lord fought Yuan Shao, and my lord won four times while Yuan Shao lost four times. There is no need to worry too much, just do your best and obey the destiny!"

Xun Yu looked indifferent, because the current situation is better than he thought. After all, Xuzhou was successfully captured, and the left and right wings were nailed.

The direct restraint made Yuan Shao only send troops southward from Liyang and other places in the middle. The strategic buffer is obviously in Puyang and other places, so it is easy to prepare!
"Yuan Shao is always scheming, and I don't take it seriously," Cao Cao couldn't help sighing when he said this.

"My lord, are you worried about Chu Feng?" Xun Yu answered, because the biggest change in this battle did not lie with Yuan Shao, but with Chu Feng.

"Other than this person, who else can make me so fearful?" Cao Cao rubbed his temples, his eyes looked a little tired, he was worried that he would be stolen by Chu Feng if he won the frontal fight!

This man can definitely do such a thing!

"My lord, Chu Feng really has to be guarded against. Why don't you send someone to Hefei to negotiate peace with him, so as to fight for our army to defeat Yuan Shao's world!"

Cheng Yu suggested in a deep voice.

"No, the peace talks are just a paper document. With Chu Feng's heart, he will definitely not abide by it. At that time, not only will he not get any benefits, but he will be at a disadvantage."

Xun Yu said quickly.

"My lord, you think that Chu Feng doesn't dare to act rashly, and he will definitely not be so stupid as to unite with the strong to suppress the weak. Otherwise, once the lord retreats to the pass, Chu Feng will be the one who suffers."

"This person is alert, so he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. Instead, he will sit on the sidelines and watch the fire, that is to say, whether he is talking about peace or not!"

Xun You also quickly expressed his opinion.

Several people thought that it would be unfavorable for Chu Feng to fall into a passive position in the peace talks. They might as well just pretend not to know, fight Yuan Shao, and return to the army quickly when the time comes.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Cao Cao frowned, but he had heard that Chu Feng had moved to the new city, and the coins had been perfectly replaced.

In other words, beating Chu Feng became difficult.

Moreover, at the moment when the currency was so chaotic at the end of Han Dynasty, he completed the currency replacement, which was unbelievable. Although Chu Feng only had one state, he threatened to think that he was no worse than Yuan Shao.

Hearing this, several people looked at each other in unison,
"Prepare for Yuan Shao with all our strength. It is enough for Chu Feng to send a general to garrison. As for the peace talks, it must not be possible. This will only lower the status of our army."

Xun Yu said.

"We second the proposal!" All the civil servants said in unison.

"Who is more appropriate to guard?" Cao Cao frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Any one of the four generals Xu Huang, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and Yu Jin can take on this important task. And this battle is for defense. General Yu Jin has a calm mind and the style of a general. He can be transferred to General Yu Jin to guard the Yangzhou defense line."

Xun Yu directly suggested.

In his opinion, the main thing is to keep Xia Houyuan. Cao Ren is facing the enemy head-on, and there is no room for loss. You must know that Yan Liang, Wen Chou under Yuan Shao's command are all powerful generals in the world!
"That's fine, then adjust the command of the ban to [-], and you must guard the movement of the Chu army when stationed in Ruyin." Cao Cao also agreed, Yu Jin can rely on seniority or ability.

As for Sun Ce, he obviously already has demons towards Chu Feng, so he should take him to the frontal battlefield to increase his confidence, especially since he still has Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other fierce generals under his command.

"My lord is wise!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"My lord, Fang Yu from Jingzhou has the courage to lead five thousand troops to guard Yecheng to prevent Jingzhou from attacking our army's rear." Cheng Yu volunteered at this moment.

"With you guarding Yecheng, I feel relieved." Cao Cao nodded in approval.

"Then shrink the line of defense, deploy Baima and Yanjin, wait for Yuan Shao to go south, and give him a head-on blow!" Cao Cao was full of vigor and confidence.

"Okay, food, grass, weapons, etc. have been arranged in advance. In this battle, Yuan Shao must be defeated in one fell swoop, so as to rule the world and become an emperor!"

Cao Cao's voice was sonorous and powerful, shaking the entire general's mansion, and it also made the hearts of all the civil servants tremble. This is a minister from the dragon, and they all look yearning.

----

Jian'an four years, summer, April!
Hefei is full of traffic and constant traffic.

After three months of rapid development, Hefei has added excitement and economic strength to the previous grandeur. At this moment, many streets in Hefei are overcrowded.

There are all kinds of businesses, and the economy is good.

The main reason for this is that the money in the hands of ordinary people has begun to increase, and the stability of coins has led to more and more transactions and thus more circulation.

Outside the city, there are countless official roads leading to Hefei. These official roads are narrow enough for four horse-drawn carriages to travel at the same time, and wide enough for eight horse-drawn carriages to travel at the same time.

Magnificent, majestic, yearning for strength.

Of course, on the basis of the stability of coins, there is also the output of goods. The amount of goods determines the stability of the economy, so that Chu Feng withdrew from various goods that stabilized the market.

Among them, people's daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cloth, raised livestock and fish, etc., the economy is ultimately to improve life, provided that agriculture must be guaranteed.

And businessmen from other places came in an endless stream. When they came to Hefei, they were also frightened by this super-large city, and some even reached cooperation.

In the city, the general's office.

Chu Feng looked at the Chinese document in his hand, and couldn't help laughing softly. He didn't expect Cao Cao to be so courageous, to omit even asking for peace and directly send troops to garrison?
I really don't pay attention to banning [-] soldiers and horses, but he is very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's approach, so he must make him pay some price!
"My lord, it seems that the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is imminent, what should our army do?" Lu Su frowned and said in a deep voice.

According to Chu Feng's request, all the people in Hefei are preparing for the battle. It has been half a year since the beginning of winter, and Chu Feng really has the patience to do it.

"When Yuan Shao worships the heaven and the earth, at that time, send troops to Xuzhou to respond to Yuan Shao. I want to see how capable he is, Cao Cao, who dares to turn a blind eye to me."

Chu Feng snorted coldly, his words were not very kind.

Now the strength of his troops has reached the full scale of [-]. Although most of them are recruits, they are definitely not at the mercy of others.

What's more, during this period, three warships were launched, two of which have been equipped for reuse, and one can gallop across the river and sea in just this month, and each of them symbolizes the power of the navy.

They are named Lujiang Ship, Danyang Ship, and Wujun Ship respectively. As for the orders for ordinary commercial ships, they are ten times higher than in previous years, and they are all prepared for business.

A small portion is ready for fishing!
"Send troops directly?" Lu Su was surprised.

"It's not too late to stop until the right things are given. After all, this war can't let them end quickly. The longer it delays, the better for us."

"You know, our goal is Jingzhou!"

When Chu Feng said this, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a sinister smile.

"Oh, by the way, the goods for domestic demand still need to be further improved, and how is the progress of the artisans that Zi Jingyou searched for?" Chu Feng asked as he put down the paperwork.

"It's all progressing!" Lu Su replied.

"Well, how is the layout in Jingzhou? Two months have passed, everything should be in order, right?" Chu Feng took a sip of the teacup next to him.

"Everything has been properly arranged. At that time, they will purchase grain throughout Jingzhou in various identities, so as to proceed according to our plan!" Lu Su solemnly replied.

"Since the arrangements are in order, let this war without gunpowder smoke start from Jingzhou!"
