Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 189 The Yuan Family's Old Script
Yuan Shao is dead...

Not to mention Cao Cao, even Cao Chong, who was being teased by Cao Cao, and Cao Pi, who was planning to come with Xun Yu and others, were all stunned.

Originally, Cao Pi planned to come here to get acquainted with these important ministers and advisers of Cao Cao, but when he heard the news of Yuan Shao's death, he no longer had such interest.

Taking advantage of Cao Cao not seeing him, Cao Pi immediately came to Hewu looking for He Yan on his horse with oil on his feet.

"He Yan! He Yan!"

Cao Pi's problem of taking the lead has not been corrected. When he saw He Yan's figure from a distance, he started to shout, as if he was afraid that others would not see him.

He Yan who was called calmly looked up at Cao Pi, then lowered his head and continued to teach Cao Zhi beside him——

"If you like beautiful flowers, you can grow them yourself without spending a lot of money to buy them. Otherwise, it won't be worth it if you make your father angry! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The two talked to each other, completely ignoring Cao Pi's voice, and concentrated on studying the thing in hand.

"Hey! He Yan! Did you do it on purpose?"

Cao Pi finally rode his horse and came to He Yan's side. As soon as he got off the horse, he questioned He Yan viciously with his hoarse voice.

He Yan shook his head in doubt: "No! I really didn't hear anything! Cao Zhi, do you think so?"

Cao Zhi nodded quickly at the side: "Brother He Yan is right! I only heard the wind just now, and nothing else?"

When Cao Pi saw Cao Zhi here, he suddenly thought of Cao Jie who was "spoiled" by He Yan, and unconsciously felt ominous.

"What are you doing here?"

"Learn from Brother He Yan!"

"study?"

Cao Zhi cheered up and introduced what he had learned to Cao Pi: "Brother He Yan is teaching me how to grow flowers!"

Cao Pi:? ? ?
Cao Pi looked at He Yan strangely, and after confirming that He Yan in front of him was a real person, he carefully leaned into He Yan's ear and asked, "He Yan, are you playing tricks on Cao Zhi?"

He Yan shook his head.

Cao Pi refused to give up and continued to ask: "Don't! Let's have fun together! Tell me! Don't tell me that you really want to teach Cao Zhi to play with those flowers and plants!"

He Yan sighed: "Cao Pi, Cao Zhi is a real literary youth, unlike you, a fake literary youth, he really likes this! You should be bigger!"

Cao Zhi also said: "Since brother He Yan made me bigger last time, I have realized something."

Cao Pi asked curiously, "What is it?"

"A man can't just like women when he is alive!"

Cao Pi:? ? ?
After reacting, Cao Pi gasped, hurriedly distanced himself from Cao Zhi, and leaned on He Yan's shoulder again and asked, "He Yan, did you give Cao Zhi a habit of Long Yang?"

He Yan pushed Cao Pi away in disgust: "Compared with him, you are more like Long Yang's habit, don't you?"

"What Cao Zhi means is that you are born as a human being, and you always have to discover something interesting! Look at his awareness! Don't you blush as a brother?"

"cut!"

Cao Pi waved his sleeves indifferently: "What I want to do is much better than playing with flowers and plants!"

He Yan rolled his eyes: "Don't be poor! What do you want from me? Go home and do your great cause!"

It was only then that Cao Pi remembered what his purpose for coming to He Yan was, and he shouted excitedly at He Yan——

"Yuan Shao is dead!"

"Oh."

"..."

On the way here, Cao Pi had imagined countless possible reactions of He Yan.

Whether it was excited shouting or shocking sluggishness, these reactions would not have surprised Cao Pi too much.

But in the end, He Yan's unusually cold "oh" made Cao Pi's expectations come to nothing.

"He Yan."

Cao Pi thought that He Yan didn't hear clearly, so he said to He Yan again: "Yuan Shao is dead! Yuan Shao! General Yuan Shao! That Yuan Shao from Hebei! He is dead!"

"I know."

This time Cao Pi said it very clearly, but He Yan's attitude remained the same, which made Cao Pi feel deeply frustrated.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Anyone can die, even if the person who dies is called Yuan Shao."

"Then you are not excited?"

"Who would be excited about the dead? Did you see the excited look on your father's face when you came out of Sikong Mansion?"

Cao Pi was at a loss for words for a while, and said somewhat hesitantly: "I, I didn't pay attention."

However, Cao Pi's ability to adjust his mentality is too strong, and he just laughed foolishly by himself: "Yuan Shao is dead, and Hebei is not at your fingertips!"

"As long as Hebei is taken, the north will be completely pacified! He Yan! Do you know what this means?"

Cao Pi's innocent face burst into an unprecedented expression: "It means that the troubled times are coming to an end!"

"..."

He Yan saw that Cao Pile looked like a two-hundred-pound child, so he didn't bother him. He didn't ask him until he had passed the excitement, "Who told you that once Yuan Shao died, Hebei would be considered peaceful?"

"Although Yuan Shang's ability does not need Yuan Shao's, but in the process of power transfer in Hebei, it is extremely stable, and the strength of Hebei as a whole has not suffered too much loss. How dare you say that Hebei can be easily pacified?"

Cao Pi's excited expression froze immediately.

"Also, even if the north is pacified, there are still Qiang troubles and Ma Teng and Han Sui gangs in the west who have caused troubles on the border of the Han Dynasty for 200 years, and Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south are not fuel-efficient lamps... Liu Zhang and Shi Xie are not enough For fear, but they can completely separate one side by virtue of their geographical advantages, who told you that the troubled times can be ended casually?"

Cao Pi longed for peace, which He Yan understood.

But if peace can be obtained so easily, how can people cherish it?
It is true that Hebei Yuan Shao died, but Hebei's strength has not been damaged.

In history, Cao Cao completely pacified Hebei. In fact, he mainly took advantage of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers to fight against the wall, and in the ninth year of Jian'an, a super-large famine broke out in Hebei, so that Hebei could be successfully taken down.

Just like this, Boss Cao spent nearly six years inside and out!If everyone takes Yuan Shao's death as lightly as Cao Pi now, the ghost knows that Hebei will be pacified in the end of the year of the monkey.

As for the rhetoric that the troubled times can be ended after the unification of the north... This is even more tragic!After all, when Boss Cao bumped into Chibi, the entire land of China began a period of chaos that lasted for more than four hundred years.

"Don't be too ambitious, just do your own thing slowly."

"Even if Hebei can be regained immediately, it's not your turn to lead the army, right?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Pi immediately retorted when He Yan said this: "I'm going to lead the army this time!"

yo?

He Yan looked at Cao Pi in surprise.

Is it possible that this guy's psychological shadow has healed?

The last time Cao Cao went to war, he followed Boss Cao to Wan County to conquer Zhang Xiu, and after Cao Ang died in battle, he left a huge psychological shadow on his whole body.

Now that Cao Pi is going to take the initiative to go to war, this really surprised He Yan.

"What kind of eyes do you have? It's not like I haven't been on a battlefield before!"

Cao Pi was very unconvinced that he was underestimated: "And this time, I want to win back my elder brother's share!"

……

The more righteous Cao Pi said, the more He Yan felt that something was wrong, so he squinted his eyes and stared at Cao Pi closely.

After a long time.

Cao Pi felt a little nervous when he was stared at, so he reluctantly revealed another reason——

"I heard from Wei Zhen that Yuan Xi's wife is extremely beautiful. If Yecheng is captured, He Yan, do you think I can kiss Fangze?"

He Yan: ...

Now He Yan just wants to pray silently, and let Cao Ang's spirit in the sky come down and beat Cao Pi hard.

There was such a moment just now, it really was just such a moment!He Yan actually thought that Cao Pi had changed his gender and wanted to become a real eel... Now it seems, ha ha!

Looking up at Cao Pi again, He Yan's eyes were full of contempt: "Are you willing to sacrifice your life for the sake of beauty?"

"Hey~ Look what you said!"

Cao Pi skilfully jumped in front of He Yan, and helped He Yan straighten the folds on his collar as if to please him: "Even if you go to the battlefield, you will still be there! You can kill the enemy general! With you protecting me, we will protect you." ...should be fine, right?"

Ha ha!

Ignoring Cao Pi, He Yan turned around and asked Cao Zhi: "Cao Zhi, do you have any thoughts about that Mrs. Zhen?"

Cao Zhi, who was fiddling with a flower, snorted coldly: "Women? What's so interesting about that?"

After hearing this answer, He Yan was obviously very satisfied.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"

--------

--------

No one cares about what Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's close friend, did after Yuan Shao's death, except for a few people.

However, Cao Cao Group, the biggest competitor of Yuan Shao Group, would really be foolish if it didn't do something after Yuan Shao's death.

Without the slightest hesitation, the day after learning of Yuan Shao's death, Cao Cao's staff drew up a complete plan for sending troops.

Cao Cao will personally lead Xuchang's [-] elite troops across the Yellow River to attack Yuantan, which has been stationed in Liyang.

If he can gain a foothold in Liyang, it means that Cao Cao will have a bridgehead in Hebi, which can take the lead in future wars.

After Cao Cao came out, Yuan Shang also saw the tricks.

Liyang was supported by Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang didn't think about supporting him in the attitude of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight". Instead, he placed the battlefield on the east side of the river east, trying to use a trick to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, so that Cao Cao would know that he couldn't because of If you are a junior, you despise yourself.

Yuan Shang ordered Guo Yuan, the prefect of Hedong, who was canonized by himself, Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Shanyu Luan Tihu Chuquan of the Southern Huns to join forces with tens of thousands, and colluded with Ma Teng and other princes in Guanzhong to launch an attack on the Guanzhong guarded by Zhong Yao. .

Guanzhong has been plagued by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others for so many years, coupled with several major natural disasters, it has long lost its former prosperity.

It was in the past few years of Zhong Yao's governance that the Chang'an area in Guanzhong slowly exuded some vitality. Naturally, Zhong Yao couldn't just sit back and watch the seedlings he had cultivated with great difficulty being destroyed by Yuan Shang.

Ask Cao Cao for help?
Then he fell into Yuan Shang's strategy, making the world think that Yuan's family is still wise and mighty, and can defeat others without fighting. Such a trend is undoubtedly unfavorable to Cao Cao.

So Zhong Yao can only figure out a way by himself!

He first sent Zhang Ji to persuade Ma Teng, and Chen Qing made Ma Teng betray him.

Later, when Yuan Jun was crossing the river, Zhong Yao personally led the troops out again, catching Yuan Jun by surprise.

During the chaotic battle, Guo Yuan was beheaded by Ma Teng's general Pang De. Seeing this, Hu Chuquan and Gao Gan had to surrender to Zhong Yao.

Once the battle on the west side was over, Cao Cao no longer had to worry about the future, and began to attack Liyang day and night, which undoubtedly made Yuan Tan who was stationed in Liyang extremely painful.

"Why haven't Yuan Shang's reinforcements arrived yet?"

He was stationed in Liyang originally for political gain, but he never thought of using his body as a human shield to block Cao Cao's knife!

Yuan Tan's military ability is not bad to be honest, but if he compares with Cao Cao, he is obviously looking for the wrong opponent.

After a few days, if it weren't for Li Yang's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, Yuan Tan might have followed in the footsteps of his father Yuan Shao.

What annoyed Yuan Tan the most was that Ye City was so close to Li Yang, but Yuan Shang had no intention of supporting him at all, and just watched himself being beaten like this!

If it weren't for Yuan Tan's reserve of being a "nobility of the Yuan family" now, Yuan Tan would have thought of simply surrendering to Cao Cao and then we'd all be finished together!
Just when Yuan Tan was about to lose his hold, an envoy from Yecheng finally visited.

And it was none other than Feng Ji, the great hero who supported Yuan Shang's succession.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, when Yuan Tan sees Feng Ji, he can't wait to get rid of him immediately!
However, for the reinforcements of Yecheng, Yuan Tan did not go too far, but let Feng Ji take his seat in a very face-saving manner.

"Feng Yuantu! When will the reinforcements from Ye City arrive?"

What Yuan Tan didn't know was that he would never even think about waiting for this reinforcement in his life.

Before Feng Ji came, he discussed the current situation with Shen Pei and Yuan Shang.

For Yuan Shang's side, Yuan Tan and Cao Cao are actually threats. Now that they can finally watch them consume their strength in Liyang, why would Yuan Shang not do it?

Second.

It must be true that Yuan Tan can't beat Cao Cao.

But Yuan Tan is playing a defensive battle now!
Defensive warfare means that as long as there are sufficient resources, even a pig can defend for a period of time!
Yuan Tan has accumulated a lot of wealth in Qingzhou, and if Yuan Tan can make up for all of these wealth in Liyang, it will still be a wonderful move to weaken Yuan Tan.

Even thinking a bit darkly, isn't it true that Yuan Tan can't beat Cao Cao?But simply want to take advantage of Yuan Shang's troops to support Yuan Shang's trilogy?
Anyway, the two brothers are now completely speculating on each other based on the greatest malice, and even Cao Cao who defeated their father is not in their eyes, but treats him as their own pawn... It can only be said that the Yuan family "fights among themselves". " and "arrogance" are written in the bones and cannot be changed.

When Feng Ji heard that Yuan Tan asked him for Yuan Jun, he immediately smiled wryly and shook his head: "Young Master Yuan Tan should know that the Lord planned to send troops to put down Zhang Yan before he died of illness. Now that these soldiers and luggage have not been withdrawn, I am afraid it will be difficult to support Yuan Tan. The son fights."

How could Yuan Tan, as a vassal at any rate, fail to understand Feng Ji's refusal?
He laughed back angrily: "Good! Good! What a Yuan Shang! What a fierce judge! What a group of loyal and capable ministers!"

"Since Yuan Shang is unwilling to send me reinforcements, then I will send him a gift!"

Feng Ji asked curiously, "What gift?"

Yuan Tan smiled ferociously: "Of course it's Qing's head!"

　Three days ago, I had a sore throat and couldn’t swallow anything. I finally managed to eat a little bit today, but after I ate it, I realized that my sense of taste was gone...(⊙︿⊙)
