Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 326 Yuan Shao's Mentality Exploded

Now Liu Biao, who has been transferred to Zongzheng, can't understand the situation in front of him.

Some time ago, Liu Biao was deliberately provoking Cao Ang to go to Yanzhou to compare with Zheng Ping who was the best among his peers.

As a result, after Cao Ang went to Yanzhou, there was no splash, and then the situation changed. At the end of the century, Ma Teng and Han Sui seized Xudu, and Cao Cao sent his army to fight Xudu.

Such a change in the situation made Liu Biao feel like falling into the clouds.

However, Liu Biao can be sure that neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao can tolerate Liu Xie.

Several of Cao Cao's sons were beheaded. If Xu Du is taken back, Liu Xie will inevitably usher in Cao Cao's crazy revenge.

After all, it was Liu Xie who welcomed him into Xudu.

If Cao Cao is defeated, Liu Xie will become a subordinate of Yuan Shao, and he will not be treated very well.

"Perhaps, you can ask Liu Bei for help."

Liu Biao held back for a long time, only thinking of Liu Bei.

Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao cannot accommodate Liu Xie, and only Liu Bei can accommodate Liu Xie.

Liu Xie sighed: "Zongzheng, Liu Bei may not be able to tolerate me anymore. Cao Cao has been suppressing Liu Bei all the time. While ordering Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shao, he negotiated peace with Yuan Shao without authorization."

"Liu Bei is angry, and I may not be able to appease him."

"If not, why would Liu Bei let Cao Cao attack Xudu instead of returning to Xudu himself?"

"At this moment, Liu Bei just wants to see Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight each other, and he doesn't care about my life or death anymore."

In Liu Xie's heart, he also had complaints against Liu Bei.

Putting Cao Cao back to fight Xudu, isn't this obviously a trick to himself?

Liu Biao was silent.

The current evolution of the situation makes Liu Biao feel like he is in a quagmire.

It's too difficult to break the game!

The offensive and defensive battle between Fengji and Cao Cao lasted for half a month.

Although Cao Bing has the tendency to mourn, but Xu's capital is high and the water is deep, and Fengji is good at commanding troops, so Cao Cao can't do anything about Fengji within a short period of time.

Cao Cao once thought about uniting the internal forces in the city, but he acted decisively, if he hadn't taken into account Xun Yu's reputation in Xu Capital City, even Xun Yu would have been killed!

Although Xun Yu didn't die, he was also detained in the prison and used to frighten the officials in Xudu city.

For a while, Cao Cao's attack on Xudu fell into a stalemate.

And on the other side.

Yuan Shao's four-way army also marched south one after another.

Yuan Shang led his troops to Chengping first.

Since Liu Bei was no longer stationed in Nanpi, Yuan Shang easily captured Nanpi City.

This made Yuan Shang a little more proud, thinking that Liu Bei would not dare to fight him.

"Mr. Shen, why don't I just call Linzi?" Yuan Shang was not very satisfied with Yuan Shao's transfer order.

Why did Yuan Xi go to fight Linzi, but he could only fight Mount Tai?Want to cooperate with Yuan Xi to seize Qingzhou?

Yuan Xi, just a concubine!

Shen Pei naturally knew about the conflicts between Yuan Shao's sons, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Shang, don't let the truth be told. This transfer of troops must be done by Xu You."

"Xu You has always disliked Mr. Shang, and Mr. Tan has gone to Liaodong, so Xu You wants to show his affection to Mr. Xi."

"Mr. Shang, don't underestimate Yuan Xi. Duke Ming is also a concubine."

"At this time, don't be impulsive!"

The slander of the judge is very clever, so clever that people who don't know the inside story can't see that it is a slander.

After all, not only did the trial match fail to disrupt Xu You's deployment, but it also urged Yuan Shang not to act emotionally.

However, this will make Yuan Shang hate Xu You.

Sure enough, Yuan Shang was bewitched, and was quite annoyed at Xu You: "It's this guy with eyes above the top again! Because he knew his father since childhood, he never looked me in the eye!"

"When my father defeats Cao Cao and Liu Bei, I must let Xu You know who is the master and who is the minister!"

The judge secretly sneered.

If it hadn't been opposed by everyone, Xu You would always call "Benchu" directly, how could he bow his head to Yuan Shao's son?

After persuading Yuan Shang, the trial matchmaker began to dispatch troops and generals.

Going to Nanpi to Taishan County, you have to pass through Pingyuan Country in the middle.

But Yuan Xi also had to go through Pingyuan State to fight Linzi City.

Thinking of this, the judge decided to wait for Yuan Xi to arrive in Bohai County before heading south.

In this way, Yuan Xilai could be used to attract Qingzhou's troops, and the surprise troops went south to Taishan County, catching Ying Shao by surprise.

Since Yuan Xi wanted to join the Wuhuan cavalry, the time to go south was a bit late.

However, when Yuan Xi went south this time, he brought cavalry with him, and the marching speed was faster.

Two days later, Yuan Xi arrived in Bohai City, where he met the courier for the trial.

Yuan Xi was well aware of the thoughts of the trial match, but he didn't point it out.

At the beginning, Yuan Xi thought that he would not be liked by Yuan Shao, until Yuan Xi became the governor of Youzhou and was also responsible for maintaining the relationship between the three kings of Wuhuan, then Yuan Xi understood Yuan Shao's good intentions.

After all, Yuan Shao is also a son of a concubine, so how could he really not regard Yuan Xi as his son?
"Go back and tell Yuan Shang that the governor of Pingyuan will naturally resist the soldiers and horses. A waste who can only wag his tail and beg for mercy with his father is worthy of fighting a small Taishan County."

Yuan Xi was afraid that the messenger would not be able to remember, so he asked the messenger to recite it face to face, and asked him to relay the original text to Yuan Shang.

The pain in the messenger's heart!

Going back this time, is there still life?

I'm just a little messenger!

The messenger returned to Nanpi City in despair, and relayed Yuan Xi's words.

Yuan Shang was stunned for a while after listening.

Immediately, Yuan Shang slapped the case: "This governor is going to fight Linzi, no one should stop him!"

Equivalent to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang is also the most liked by Yuan Shao because he is the youngest.

Yuan Shang was also clever, knowing that if he stayed away from Yuan Shao like Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, the relationship would be alienated.

After all, this advantage can only be called an advantage if Yuan Shao sees it.

If you can't see it, no matter how good it is, it can't be worth a slander.

This is also the way of fighting for power taught by Yuan Shang's biological mother, Mrs. Liu.

However, now Yuan Shang's petty thinking was ruthlessly pierced by Yuan Xi, and he was even scolded as a waste who only wags his tail and begs for mercy.

How could Yuan Shang bear it?

Knowing that Yuan Shang was going to commit another crime, the judge hurriedly came to persuade him: "Young Master Shang, don't fall for Yuan Xi's aggressive tactics!"

"If Mr. Shang goes to fight Linzi, Yuan Xi will definitely regard Mr. Shang and the guards of Linzi city as snipe and clam, so that he can be a fisherman in the future."

"Young Master Shang is just a wedding dress!"

"It's fine if we win, but if we lose, wouldn't that give Yuan Xi another chance to seize Taishan County?"

"In this way, Yuan Xi has made a great contribution!"

The trial partner tried to persuade Yuan Shang with his earnest words and bad words.

Yuan Shang said fiercely: "Yuan Xi, you are too deceitful! When the governor wins Taishan County, he will definitely win Qingzhou!"

Yuan Shao's two armies went south, and Xun You and Tian Feng, two temporarily appointed state governors, also quickly dispatched troops to the north to build an interception front.

Although both of them are literati and are in charge of government affairs on weekdays, both Xun You and Tian Feng are hexagonal fighters with both military and political skills.

For the two of them, commanding troops was not much different from handling government affairs on weekdays.

Commanding troops in battle lies in dispatching them.

There are actually many similarities between dispatching generals in the army and dispatching civil servants in the state government.

This is why, many literati who are proficient in internal affairs are also good at running the army.

Because these literati know how to put the right person in the right position, and then use the right soldiers to fight steadily to defeat the enemy.

Regardless of your conspiracy and tricks, I will just say one word:

stable!
In the way of using troops, if there is righteousness, there will be surprises.

Xun Youtian Feng sought stability because his soldiers were not elite.

But Zheng Ping in Yanzhou is not interested in fighting steadily with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao gathered [-] troops in Weijun within half a month, and he wanted to take advantage of his strength to restrain Liu Bei's main force and buy time for the other three groups to join forces.

Xu You's strategy for Yuan Shao is very simple.

Step by step!

The main thing is one, there are many soldiers, the generals are well-equipped, and there is no need to play tricks with Liu Bei.

It has to be admitted that Xu You made full use of Yuan Shao's superiority in military strength, and temporarily avoided Yuan Shao's disadvantage of having a large number of soldiers.

Xingping two years, winter December.

Zheng Ping set up a false banner in Dongjun, personally leading the Po Jun Camp, Ruishi Camp, Xiandeng Camp, Baipao Camp and Shesheng Camp, in coordination with Gao Shun's trap camp in Dongping Kingdom. Appeared behind Yuan Shangjun.

Guan Yu beheaded Yuan Shang's general Han Meng, and Yuan Shang was defeated.

After defeating Yuan Shang, Zheng Ping provoked [-] elite cavalry from among the five battalions of soldiers and horses. With Zhao Yun and Sun Ce as his generals, he appeared in Qinghe Kingdom overnight while the Yellow River was temporarily frozen.

Qinghe Kingdom had already been defeated once, and seeing Zheng Ping lead the army back again, most of the cities fell directly.

Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly sent Wen Chou to lead his troops to save Qinghe Kingdom.

However, Wen Chou had not yet arrived in Qinghe Kingdom, Zheng Ping had already led his army to Julu County, and directly robbed Yuan Shao's army rations for his own use.

Within a month, Zheng Ping led five battalions of soldiers and horses to attack Qinghe State first, then Julu County, and the troops went straight to Zhongshan State.

Only fight but not defend, use war to support war.

This crazy style of play directly fooled Yuan Shao.

No wonder the rear city could not be defended, Yuan Shao gathered [-] soldiers in Wei County, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang separated another [-] soldiers, and those who remained in the rear city were not the opponents of Qingzhou Fifth Battalion at all.

Even with General Yuan who is good at defending the city, Zheng Ping's five thousand cavalry cannot be stopped.

Good at defending the city?
Zheng Ping didn't make a detour!

Fight if you can, and change places if you don't.

Using the "tactics of warfare behind the enemy" in conjunction with the tactical thinking of "the enemy retreats and advances, the enemy camps and we harass, the enemy is tired and we fight, the enemy retreats and pursues", bypassing Yuan Shao's troops in Wei County, fighting behind Yuan Shao, and eliminating them piecemeal Yuan Shao's garrison.

Zheng Ping's move was too damaging.

If Zheng Ping is left alone, Zheng Ping will attack the city and seize the pool in the rear of Yuan Shao, looting supplies, causing panic among the army and the people.

If he manages Zheng Ping, Yuan Shao will have to send troops to chase him, and even send cavalry to chase him!

But Zheng Ping is too treacherous!

There were too many soldiers, Zheng Ping directly avoided the battle and fled.

With fewer soldiers, Zheng Ping in turn ambushed Yuan Shao's soldiers.

The lightning-like interspersed tactics and the illogical marching route made Yuan Shao's cavalry walk around like a cloud and mist.

From time to time, cavalrymen were wiped out, and dozens of pairs of armor were taken away.

Zhongshan country.

Zheng Ping led the cavalry to Zhen's manor.

When Liu Bei first served as governor of Qingzhou, he recommended Zhen Yao as a talented person.

However, Zhen Yao's family has a great career, so he did not go to Qingzhou to take up the post.

Seeing Zheng Ping appearing in Zhongshan Country, Zhen Yao couldn't believe his eyes.

"Mr. Zheng, why are you here?"

"Didn't you fight Yuan Shao from Yanzhou?"

Zhen Yao rubbed his eyes to make sure that he did not recognize the wrong person.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: "I used some tricks to cause trouble for Yuan Shao. This time I came to Zhongshan Kingdom, hoping that the Zhen family can borrow some food and grass."

Zhen Yao didn't hesitate to think: "Mr. Zheng wants food and grass, but he can get it in the village."

Zheng Ping asked with a chuckle: "If the Zhen family lets the Qingzhou soldiers take the food and grass, and Yuan Shao asks for the crime, what should we do?"

Zhen Yao was stunned for a moment.

Just now, he was quick to talk, and he only agreed to let Zheng Ping get the food and grass, but he didn't think about Yuan Shao's questioning.

Zheng Ping quickly gave Zhen Yao a plan: "On this journey, we all supported our battles by fighting, and robbed Yuan Shao's army barn all the way. Since we have come to the Zhen family, we are no exception."

Zhen Yao quickly realized: "Mr. Zheng has a clever plan. In this way, the Zhen family is also a victim."

After a pause, Zhen Yao said again: "Mr. Zheng, since all the food and grass have been robbed, I still have a merciless request."

Zheng Ping nodded: "Patriarch Zhen said it's okay."

Zhen Yao sighed softly, and said: "Before Yuan Xi went south, he sent someone to the Zhen family to make a betrothal gift, intending to take Yao's younger sister as his wife. But Yao didn't want to marry his younger sister to Yuan Xi, but he had no way to deal with it."

"Since Zheng Junshi came to the Zhen family to plunder food and grass, how about taking Yao's younger sister as well?"

Zhen Yao's younger sister?
Yuan Xi's wife?
Zhen Mi?

Animals!
Counting the time, Zhen Mi is only twelve or thirteen years old, and Yuan Xi came here to offer the dowry?

Although people in ancient times got married early, in Zheng Ping's opinion, it is really unacceptable to marry at the age of twelve or thirteen.

"Then take it with you!"

Zheng Ping didn't hesitate much.

He robbed Zhen's money and women, no matter how he looked at it, Zhen was a victim. Yuan Shao still needed Zhen's food and grass, and he definitely wouldn't suspect Zhen's collusion with Zheng Ping because of this matter.

When Zheng Ping transferred to Hejian, Yuan Shao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and directly dispatched all the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command to keep Zheng Ping's five thousand elite cavalry in Jizhou.

"Brother, Yuan Shao's troops are moving!"

Zhang Fei came to look for Liu Bei enthusiastically.

"Mr. Xianmou said before he left that if he saw a large number of cavalry from Yuan Shao's camp, he would prepare to rob the camp!"

"Mr. Zigang also thinks that Yuan Shao's cavalry cannot return, which is the best time to rob the camp!"

Liu Bei got up suddenly: "Yide, can you see clearly? How many cavalry Yuan Shao has out of the camp?"

Zhang Fei suppressed his excitement: "At least [-]! Even Wen Chou is out of camp!"

Liu Bei clapped his palms and laughed: "After waiting for a month, I finally got my chance! Yuan Shao really could bear it, and even sat and watched the conspirators act recklessly in the rear city for a month before he was willing to send out all the cavalry."

However, Chen Deng said with a smile: "It's not that Yuan Shao refused to send cavalry, but Yuan Shao didn't expect that the five thousand cavalrymen who showed their plans were more slippery than loaches. If there are too many soldiers, they will run away if they show their plans; if they go too few, they will fight again." but."

"It is estimated that Xianmou is going south to return to camp this time, so all the cavalry were sent out to intercept Xianmou."

"Xianmou has successfully separated Yuan Shao's cavalry. If we can't defeat the remaining soldiers and horses, we will be ridiculed when Xianmou returns."

Guan Yu said proudly: "Thirty thousand of the most elite cavalry have left the Weijun camp. What else can Yuan Shao do to prevent Guan from entering the camp first?"
