Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 709: Start over, restart the epic

Troubled times are like an all-pervasive wind.

It will blow straight into people's hearts.

Countless princes in the world are beginning to turn their territories into war machines.

Luo Chu, who had just accepted the second Xiao Han clan, received an explosive news from the Central Plains.

……

Yingchuan County.

This county was named after Yingshui. The county was governed by the old capital of Ying State, which was established by the brother of Xuan Gong during the reign of Luo Xuan Gong. It has been repaired, but the location has not changed.

Yingchuan has been culturally prosperous since Xunzi's lineage was located here. By the Later Han Dynasty, it was extremely prosperous, and [-]% of the world's high-ranking gentry were in Yingchuan.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who Yingchuan has invested heavily in, are heroes of the moment and have the appearance of bringing peace to the world.

Since Cao Cao retook Yingchuan County and moved Liu Xie who was located in Xingyang to Xuchang, the scene of Yingchuan has become even more new.

As the strongest faction under Cao Cao besides the clan, the Yingchuan faction achieved their goal by using Xuchang as their capital.

Countless soldiers dressed in Han army uniforms were running around, and the county was filled with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

In front of the two armies.

On one side stands a banner with Chinese characters and a banner with the character Cao, and on the other side stands a banner with the character Yuan.

It was the two armies of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

Just listen to the sound of drums filling the sky, and the soldiers all line up to attack.

The war between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao lasted longer than the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

It's just that the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was a battle that put all the family assets on the line, while the intensity of the war between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao was very low.

Everyone thought this was just a battle as usual, marching in with drums beating, returning with gold medals, testing each other.

The army moved forward in rotation, using the war to sharpen the soldiers, turning the new recruits into veterans who had seen blood.

Unexpectedly, at this moment of transition between offense and defense, dozens of Cao Cao's troops suddenly rushed out, especially one in the lead. His horse was extremely fast and he rushed into the enemy formation like a whirlwind.

Almost instantly, everyone was on their backs.

It was too late, but soon, the horse's hooves were raised high, the sword in his hand flashed, and the head had already fallen!
Cao's army camp.

Cao Cao was surprised and happy when he heard the news.

"General Guan is truly a god!"

Guan Yu rode out to attack, and with lightning speed, he killed Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao in the midst of thousands of troops!

That is Yuan Shu's only legitimate son!
No one could have imagined that during the change of military formations, Guan Yu would spot a gap and complete the formation slashing achievement.

In Cao Jun's camp, Guan Yu stood proudly with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Yuan Shu's subordinates are all traitors, and I will kill them like pigs and dogs."

To him, this was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Zhang Jiao is dead, Lu Bu is still in Bingzhou, and Zilong Yide is under the command of his eldest brother. Who in the world can be his opponent?
Next to Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, glanced at Guan Yu with a sinister look, with murderous intent deep in his eyes.

Xun You was also expressionless, showing little joy.

They just want to seize some territory from Yuan Shu, and are not ready to fight Yuan Shu to the death.

After all, Liu Bei is still watching beside him. If he fights Yuan Shu, the loss will be too great.

Liu Bei's army came out from Xuzhou and Mount Tai. It was easy to defeat Yanzhou and Yuzhou, places without dangerous mountains and rivers.

That's really not worth the candle.

Xun You even suspected that Guan Yu deliberately killed Yuan Yao.

It did not have much impact on Yuan Shu's army, but it also allowed Yuan Shu and Cao's army to fight to the death.

What Xun You could think of, how could Xun Yu not think of it?
But he didn’t mention this aspect at all, but said directly: “Lord.

Yuan Yao is Yuan Shu's only legitimate son and Yuan Shu's only heir. If Yuan Yao died on the battlefield, wouldn't Yuan Shu take revenge crazily?
He is a rebellious person, so you can only imagine what he would do!
Yu thought that now the imperial army should be mobilized to fight Yuan Shu in a decisive battle between Ru Ying and Yu Ying. "

Xun You's eyes were a little dark when he saw that his brother-in-law directly brought the topic to the decisive battle.

But he still put away the cold expression on his face. He was naturally indispensable for making suggestions. After all, he was Cao Cao's mastermind.

He thought for a moment and then said: "My lord, I will not repeat what I have said before.

Yuan Shu is an ignorant man. He has lost his beloved son today. He is determined to bring Runan's army with him. Our army can lay an ambush in the mountains and rivers to defeat Yuan Shu.

Since Yuan Shu's repeated small defeats, he has been cautious in fighting with our army. Now that Yuan Shu is angry and raises his army, it is a great opportunity to seize Runan completely! "

Cao Cao didn't even hesitate at all, and said loudly: "Wen Ruo, return to Xuchang quickly and mobilize the imperial army.

Then he issued an order to Pingdong General Guan Hai, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and Nanyang Prefect Zhao Hong, asking them to lead their own troops to attack Yuan Shu together.

Yuan Shu did not respect the emperor's orders, rebelled and caused chaos, and the whole world was united in punishing him. "

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered secretly in his heart.

As he stepped out of the camp, Cao's soldiers dressed in Han army uniforms were lined up. He felt depressed again, not knowing when he would be able to return to his eldest brother.

While he was feeling nervous, he walked around the corner and saw Xun You standing with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for him.

Guan Yu had seen how resourceful Xun You was in these days, and he knew astronomy well as geography.

Especially the military strategy, Guan Yu felt cold all over. He was actually fighting such a terrifying opponent.

"General Guan."

"Military Commander Xun."

Xun You looked at the majestic Guan Yu, and then said slowly: "Since General Guan has followed my lord, how has my lord treated General Guan?"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said as sharply as a sword, his words seemed to be laced with gold and stone: "Is the lord of Military Advisor Xun your Majesty?

Since Guan entered the imperial court, he has only met His Majesty a few times. How can he treat Guan? "

Guan Yu's words were so reasonable. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of Xun You's words, and he didn't care what adverse consequences it would cause for him.

A cold light flashed in Xun You's eyes, and he said nothing. He turned sideways and Guan Yu walked past him, very silent.

Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao walked out from the side and walked to Xun You. The three of them stood with their hands behind their hands, looking at Guan Yu who was walking away. Their backs were always straight, as if they had never been bent.

Dong Zhao suddenly said: "Guan Yu is really a great general, no wonder my lord likes him so much.

However, it is a pity that such a divine general, limited by the so-called brotherly loyalty and subordinate to Liu Bei, cannot be used by his lord. "

Xun You's eyes became even darker. He was proficient in military strategy. To ordinary people, they could only see Guan Yu's bravery and skill in fighting against thousands of enemies.

But he could see that Guan Yu could serve as a commander.

Cheng Yu's eyes were cold, but there was a gentle smile on his face as he said: "God generals are also mortals. When the sword comes, who can survive?
If he doesn't want to surrender to his lord, let him die in a foreign country. He is just a warrior, and he can die suddenly overnight. "

Dong Zhao disagreed with Cheng Yu's words, he would not do that kind of thing.

Cao Cao really likes Guan Yu. If he angers Cao Cao because of this, it will be more gain than loss.

Dong Zhao told him that what he cared about most was always his own glory, wealth and aspirations, and after that, Cao Cao's great cause.

But Cheng Yu was truly ruthless, extremely dark-hearted, and was willing to do some shameful things for Cao Cao.

Both of them looked at Xun You.

In Cao Cao's camp, Xun's family still had the highest status. Xun Yu was an upright person who was at odds with Cheng Yu and others.

Although Xun You also had a good reputation, he was actually a man with a dark heart. He was one of the masterminds when he killed Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City.

It's just that Xun You acted secretly and paid attention to his reputation, which is why he had a completely different reputation from Cheng Dong and others.

Xun You pondered for a while and said: "Guan Yu still has great use at present, but he is limited by his loyalty and surrenders to Liu Bei.

As long as we are not enemies of Liu Bei, we will naturally assist our lord out of kindness.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Luo Chu, and Guanzhong Ma Teng and Han Sui were all strong enemies. If there was a war in the future, Guan Yu would take the lead.

Since he is called a Han minister, how can he not obey His Majesty's orders? "

Xun You's words made Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao suddenly realize that this method was good and it was the best arrangement for Guan Yu without angering their lord.

The three of them discussed here. After leaving, Guan Yu walked to his room and sat down cross-legged. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword stood beside him.

Although the exchange just now was just a short sentence, Guan Yu heard infinite murderous intent from it.

There are people under Cao Cao who can no longer see him.

Guan Yu took off the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, gently wiped the sword that had just cut off Yuan Yao's head, and recalled what he had seen and heard since entering Cao's camp.

His current nominal official position is Emperor Liu Xie's imperial guard, but he has never met Liu Xie several times, only from a distance when he was granted the title.

Cao Cao has now promoted himself to Taiwei and General Zhengnan.

In the name of Emperor Liu Xie, Cao Cao promoted Yuan Shu to the rank of Ninth Minister, required him to go to Xuchang to report on his duties, and also required Yuan Shu to pay money, grain, and taxes to the central court according to his household registration.

Yuan Shu naturally refused, so Cao Cao used this as an excuse to follow the emperor's orders to attack Yuan Shu who was unwilling to enter the capital and pay money, food and taxes.

What he saw and heard in these days passed through his mind one by one.

Cao Cao seemed to be respectful to Liu Xie but was actually very defensive.

The attitude of everyone under Cao Cao towards the emperor.

The attitude of the courtiers who followed Liu Xie on his escape.

"It is true as Yinghou said, the ultimate goal of Yuan Cao and others is to replace Liu's world.

His name is Hanchen, but he is actually a Han thief.

I am now in a land of tigers and wolves, and I don’t know where I will go from now on, or whether I can one day return to my big brother’s command.

Although he is trapped in this situation now, the only thing he can do is to get rid of those rebellious ministers who are like Yuan Shu and want to destroy the Han Dynasty.

Then he protected Emperor Liu Xie.

Presumably this is what the eldest brother wants to see.

If one day..."

Guan Yu gently stroked the Qinglong Sword and muttered to himself slowly and in a low voice: "It's just a death."

……

Runan County.

Yuan Shu built a palace here that was like an imperial palace, even more luxurious than the imperial palace in some aspects.

He lived an extremely extravagant life and collected hundreds of beauties from all over.

After being defeated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei one after another, his mentality completely collapsed and he just wanted to indulge in pleasure and indulge in wine and sex.

When the news of Yuan Yao's death in battle reached Yuan Shu's ears, Yuan Shu, who was drinking, was stunned.

There were more than a dozen naked beauties in the hall, all kneeling on the ground shivering, revealing their beautiful body curves. The soft sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and the musicians were also shivering.

Yuan Shu, who had lost his ambition, once again felt extremely angry.

He stood up suddenly, his face was red, and his eyes were also red. He didn't know whether it was the effect of alcohol or anger.

He threw the wine glass in his hand straight to the ground, making a clanking metal sound, and kicked the wine jar over. The palace was suddenly filled with the aroma of wine.

Angry roars echoed in the palace, "Cao Cao, do you really think that I, Yuan Shu, am afraid of you?

Rise up!

Rise up!

We must kill Cao Cao, kill him! "

Yuan Shu issued an order, and large-scale conscription began throughout Yuan Shu's rule.

Yuan Shu was angry like never before. He did not care about the future at all and just wanted to destroy Cao Cao. A large number of people were issued weapons as soldiers, and more people were recruited as civilian husbands.

This level of general mobilization is quite similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in which the whole people formed a military force.

Almost 20 people were transferred out by him, and the entire rule was basically drained by him.Countless grain reserves were taken out to supply the army's needs, including even rations for the coming year.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the economy under Yuan Shu's rule will collapse, and countless people will have to go into exile in the coming year.

Yuan Shu's goal is very simple, that is, to kill Cao Cao. If he can't defeat him, he will use food and grass to drag him to death.

……

Runan County was filled with soldiers and news spread everywhere.

"Yuan Shu mobilized a large army, said to be 50 men, and attacked Yingchuan under the banner of revenge against Cao Cao.

At the same time, a message was sent to the world, saying that Cao Cao had kidnapped the emperor, and that the ministers named Han were actually Han traitors, and called on all the princes in the world to fight against Cao Cao.

This is a decisive battle with Cao Cao. "

Naturally, the princes around Yuan Shu learned about the two men and were secretly shocked that Cao Cao directly killed Yuan Shu's son.

Yuan Shu must fight tooth and nail.

Facing the furious Yuan Shu, Liu Biao couldn't help laughing. He wanted to respond to Cao Cao's call and attack Yuan Shu together, but was stopped by his men.

The people of Jingzhou are not willing to face a desperate Yuan Shu.

Yingchuan County.

Cao Cao looked at the battle report in shock, "He dared to claim an army of 50, but he at least sent more than 20.

Is this Yuan Shu crazy?
Does he no longer want the foundation? "

Cao Cao did not expect that Yuan Shu was even crazier than he imagined, and would actually do such an act that was completely unlike a prince.

How could a man like Cao Cao, who had several sons, know that a man with only one son would have a broken mentality after his son's death?

Facing the desperate Yuan Shu, all the officials under Cao Cao had a look of pain on their faces. Even Xun You, who had praised Haikou that day, was speechless now.

Even if Yuan Shu, who came out in force, could win, how much would his side suffer?
there is always a solution to a problem.

Facing the overwhelming Yuan Shu, everyone on Cao Cao's side felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Although everyone does not take Yuan Shu seriously, Yuan Shu's money and food soldiers are truly elite. If he is not careful, he may capsize in the gutter.

Guo Jia frowned and said: "My lord, the most important thing today is not to deal with Yuan Shu.

After two years of fighting with Yuan Shu, he is no match for our army. Even if he mobilizes a large army this time, it is nothing more than a mob.

As long as our army doesn't make big mistakes, defeating Yuan Shu is just a matter of time.

The most important thing is how to preserve the victory after defeating Yuan Shu.

Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Gongzi Chu of Yangzhou, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou are all not easy men and must be guarded against. "

After Guo Jia finished speaking, there was silence in the room. Everyone frowned and thought, but it is a truth that the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.

If it were really that easy to crack, it wouldn't be a classic strategy.

When Cao Cao saw that even Er Xun had not proposed a countermeasure, and saw that everyone had worried looks on their eyebrows, he immediately said loudly: "Everyone.

Now that Yuan Shu is coming with great momentum, we are already deeply involved in the situation. What is the use of thinking about this too much?

But the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it.

The sky is clear and the earth is vast.

We started from Chenliu County, occupied the entire Yanzhou, and now occupy half of Yuzhou.

With millions of civilians under his command, and a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, his military power is so majestic.

What he was facing now was the legitimate son of the Fourth Generation and Third Duke's family.

That person was once a noble person that we could not compare with, but now he has the upper hand, so what else can he do?

Should we still hesitate here?

The one who should be worried is Yuan Shu!
Those who should be worried should be those who oppose the imperial army.

Respect the will of His Majesty the Jian'an Emperor and attack those who do not respect the imperial orders!
everyone!

Our army will win! "

Although Cao Cao was a little short in stature, his voice was high in the sky. These words fell in everyone's ears like thunder, injecting everyone with the courage to move forward.

Cao Cao sent his orders to the princes in the world, "Since ancient times, they have followed the king's orders to attack those rebellious ministers who are unwilling to surrender.

Now that I, Cao Cao, have gained the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, I am able to become a Taiwei and command the army of the Han Dynasty. I am trembling with fear that I have betrayed His Majesty the Emperor's trust.

I was trembling with fear, worried that I would not be able to fulfill my promise to revive the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu, he was born into a wealthy family with four generations and three nobles. No family with such a family status has even had the five surnames.

Isn’t this the great imperial favor of the Han Dynasty?
The current Emperor of Jian'an, because of Yuan Shu's family background, is willing to grant him the status of Jiuqing, and even the status of Three Dukes, but Yuan Shu is unwilling to accept it.

Is this because Yuan Shu is not obsessed with power?

of course not!

It was because Yuan Shu had evil thoughts in his heart that he gathered soldiers in Runan County to deliberately resist the imperial court, and even wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty to achieve his unforgivable rebellious thoughts.

Now, he has treated the people of Runan cruelly, his moral corruption has reached the extreme, and he even used weapons to attack Xuchang.

Could a traitor like him act for the safety of His Majesty the Emperor?
of course not!

If Yuan Shu enters Yingchuan or Xuchang, the emperor's life may be in his rebellious hands.

His Majesty was furious and denounced Yuan Shu as an unprecedented rebellious minister like Dong Zhuo. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo had never been accused of killing the emperor.

Now Yuan Shu also wants to kill the emperor and cause rebellion, and His Majesty the Emperor is angry.

I am Cao Cao.

The great Han Taiwei sent General Chijie to conquer the South.

Although he came from a humble background, he knew that he was favored by the emperor and was in the Han Dynasty, so he was unwilling to stand under the blue sky with Yuan Shu.

Today, I will lead the civil and military forces of the imperial court to respectfully accept His Majesty's order to conquer Yuan Shu.

Now this edict and the proclamation are sent to all states and counties.

Loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, I hope you can respectfully obey His Majesty the Emperor's order and fight against Yuan Shu together.

Pass this decree to all counties and counties, so that the world will know that we are doing righteous and sacred things.

Let everyone in the world know Yuan Shu's rebellion.

This is what His Majesty the Emperor means, please tell me. "

Once Cao Cao's document, which was both a message and an edict, was issued, it immediately caused an uproar.

Today's Han Dynasty is in dilapidated condition, but to say it is useless would be an insult to Cao Cao's advisers.

If Liu Xie was really useless, they would not take the risk to bring Liu Xie back to Yanzhou, where he is still placed in Xuchang.

Among the great princes in the world today, only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the only ones who really do not respect the orders of the imperial court.

Those who appeared to obey but actually did not were Liu Bei, Luo Chu, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, Ma Teng and Han Sui.

There is no need for the first two to say much. Even if the last four don't listen, they will not overtly overturn the confrontation for the time being. This gives Cao Cao many opportunities to operate.

For example, when Cao Cao dealt with those small princes, he could use a two-pronged approach. Even because he controlled the court, Cao Cao was able to grant many high-ranking officials high titles.

For example, at present, only Cao Cao can grant official titles such as the Sangong, Jiuqing, and Lieutenants.

In today's world, state pastors, prefects, county magistrates, and other pastoral guards and generals can all declare themselves, but I have never heard of anyone claiming the title of three ministers, nine ministers, and princes.

Especially the princes. If anyone claims to be a prince, it will be a big joke, enough to make him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.

After this decree was issued, those who could influence the situation were unable to take action, or they could only assist Cao Cao.

Especially Liu Bei, he must recognize the legitimacy of Liu Xie's court, but in this way he has to fall into passivity in many matters.

For example, now, Liu Bei feels that he is in a dilemma and has no idea what to do.

Let’s not mention the changes in other princes. In order to resist Yuan Shu’s army, Cao Cao did not choose the same method as Yuan Shu.

After all, Yuan Shu didn't care about his foundation, but Cao Cao couldn't do that.

Moreover, Xun Yu and other people who were proficient in military strategy said: "Today's world is no longer the way of the Warring States Period hundreds of years ago, and the strategy of all people becoming soldiers has long been outdated.

Soldiers are more valuable than elites. Although Yuan Shu had many soldiers, most of them were just farmers recruited temporarily. Once they were on the battlefield, once they were defeated, it would be too late.

As long as our army uses its elite to break through its weak points, it will naturally win, so why bother recruiting so many farmers? "

In fact, it would have been impossible for Cao Cao to do that unless Xun Yu and others persuaded him.

He himself is a very outstanding military strategist and has conducted in-depth research on various military arts.

Today, there are not many people who can surpass him in terms of military talent.

No matter how much hatred there is and how much ambition there is, the truth will always be seen on the battlefield.

Yuan Shu led an army of 20 people to the north. Such a large number of people stretched for dozens of miles.

The army at the front has even seen Cao's army, while the army at the back has just started.

Cao Cao personally led his most elite tiger and leopard cavalry to observe Yuan Shu's military appearance.

I feel relieved when I see the results.

In his eyes, Yuan Shu's army was quite lazy. It was obvious that there was no super commander capable of commanding so many armies, so communication between the various armies and battalions was not smooth.

Even setting up camp can be noisy.

With such a military appearance, if these troops can display strong combat effectiveness, it would be impossible for him to believe it even if they were killed.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, but thinking of what happened before, he forcibly restrained himself and just said disdainfully: "This Yuan Jiujiu is really incompetent, it is easy to defeat his army!
Zi Lian, Zi He! "

Cao Chun and Cao Hong immediately rode out. Cao Chun was the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and Cao Hong was even more brave and good at fighting. He even saved Cao Cao's life when he pursued the Xiliang army.

Cao Cao looked at his clan brothers and said with a smile: "Do you two dare to lead a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to attack Yuan Shu's army when it has not yet established a stable foothold and has not established a camp?"

Cao Cao currently has a total of only [-] tiger and leopard cavalry under his command. Although the rest are included in the tiger and leopard cavalry, they are only reserve troops.

His current territory simply cannot support so many heavily armored cavalry such as Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Cao Chun and Cao Hong looked at each other, with sparks flying out of their eyes. They clasped their fists and said in unison: "I obey, my lord."

After saying that, they rode forward and each led five hundred tigers and leopards to mount their armored horses.

Faced with the sudden attack of the two men, Yuan Shujun did not expect that Cao Cao, with only a small number of men, would dare to attack.

Seeing Yuan Shu's army camp fall into chaos after being charged by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing anymore.

Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shu's army that collapsed in an instant, with black lines all over his forehead. When his eldest brother formed an alliance with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu, they were defeated.

Now it seems that the problem is indeed with the pig teammates. There is a reason why Yuan Shu hits Liu Biao with a bang on his head.

Cao Cao laughed at Yuan Shu with a smile on his face: "This Yuan Shu is really ordinary except for a good family background.

With such a military appearance, it was not just Yuan Yao who lost his life in this battle, but Yuan Shu himself. "

Everyone who was following Cao Cao was a little speechless when they saw this scene. Is this Yuan Shujun so incompetent?
I really don’t know where all the money and food have gone. Why haven’t we even built a strong army?

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, huge crossbows appeared behind the scattered soldiers.

Those giant crossbows were huge, and if you looked carefully at the tips of the crossbow arrows, you could see there were many grooves. A creaking sound came from behind the giant crossbows.

Just looking at them gives people chills. Anyone who sees them knows how powerful these giant crossbows are!

Cao Cao's pupils shrank!
not good!

Counted.

Yuan Shu had an ambush. He could actually guess that Cao Cao would definitely send people to attack the camp while the foothold was not stable.

Where did all the money and food go?

Now Yuan Shu told Cao Cao where all the money went.

Now Yuan Shu will tell everyone what the Yuan family’s background is!
The giant crossbow developed by the Mohist disciples is more powerful than any crossbow in the world today.

This is the great gift Yuan Shu prepared for Cao Cao!
