Cao Thief

Chapter 316 How did Xuande prove it?

At night, Cao Cao took Cao Chun as the vanguard and led the tigers and leopards to set off.

He led the Wuwei Army and the Huben Army and the three schools of Tunqi, Yueqi, and Shesheng as the Chinese army, and then left Xudu.Lejin's Changshui Camp and Infantry Camp were the rear army, with Le Jin as the commander of the rear army, Wang Ze as the deputy general, Dianman Xia Houshang as the army commander, and set off immediately after midnight.

At this time, Xia Houyuan had already led his troops, approaching Suanzao...

Jia Xu was riding on the horse, looking depressed.

After the army went out, he no longer took charge of the Fifth School of the Northern Army, but instead joined the Air Force and stayed in the Central Army.

"Father, why don't you be sullen?"

Jia Xing urged the horse to follow, and beside Jia Xu, he asked with concern: "Could it be that the master is embarrassing?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "Actually, it's not difficult to solve this matter. Now that Liu Bei is stationed in Puyang, it seems tyrannical, but it is actually the biggest flaw.

He voted for Yuan Shao, with great ambitions.

But Yuan Shao was very suspicious, although there were many advisers under his command, they had a lot of dirty things with each other.Therefore, Yuan Shao would not trust Liu Bei, and his advisers may not have taken a liking to Liu Bei.As long as someone is sent to separate them to create a gap, the snake of Changshan will be in name only. "

When Jia Xu said these words, she showed strong self-confidence.

Jia Xing suddenly realized, "I see... what does father mean, follow Chen Pingzhi and Xiang Ji and Fan Zeng?"

Jia Xu smiled, but did not answer.

Chen Pingzhi and Xiang Ji Fan Zeng were a battle that took place during the Chu and Han Dynasties.Xiang Ji is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Fan Zeng is Xiang Yu's counselor, who is respected by Xiang Yu as his sub-father, and is also a very capable strategist in the Chu and Han Dynasties.At that time, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, fought against Xiang Yu, and they were defeated repeatedly.After Liu Bang got Han Xin's help, he was worried about Fan Zeng beside Xiang Yu, not Xiang Yu.

At this time, Liu Bang's counselor Chen Ping offered a plan to drive a wedge between Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu.

Fan Zeng finally retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, and died of illness on the way home; after losing Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu was finally trapped in Gaixia and killed himself in Wujiang.

Thinking about it, the close relationship between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng can be sowed.

Liu Bei and Yuan Shao had no friendship at all.Moreover, Liu Bei almost formed his own system in Yuan Shao's army, and he was also known as the emperor's uncle. How could Yuan Shao not doubt it, how could he not be wary.These two people are two tigers. Although they live in peace for the time being, once something happens, they will immediately turn against each other.Jia Xu's strategy can be said to be right in one sentence, and he hit the vital point of the snake of Changshan, that is Liu Xuande.

Jia Xing said: "Since father has a plan, why worry?"

Jia Xu sighed, "I was thinking, who wants to set me on fire?"

Suddenly, he smiled grimly.

Jia Xing hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "I heard that Cao Zhonghou once told Guangchang Tinghou that his father was a sensible person when discussing matters in the big tent today."

"It's this kid again!"

Jia Xu didn't seem to be surprised, but said softly, "I and Cao Youxue are inseparable."

When Jia Xing heard this, he smiled...

--------------------------

It has been three days since Puyang was occupied, and Yuan Shao's army continued to march towards Henan.

Yuan Shao ordered his adviser Xu You to oversee the army, while he led the troops and continued to stay in Liyang...

On December 27, Xia Houyuan suddenly sent troops from Suanzao to attack Yanjin.At the same time, Xia Houdun, the guard of Hulao Pass, continued to lead troops across the river into Hanoi, intending to join forces with Zhang Liao to attack the rear of Jizhou.Cao Cao's intention seems to have been revealed without doubt, he wants to cross the river and fight Yuan Shao in a decisive battle in Hebei.It seems that the loss of Puyang has no effect on Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao couldn't help being proud, and said to the staff under the tent: "Human Cao Mengde uses soldiers like a god, but in my opinion, he is an incompetent person who is ignorant of current affairs."

He and Cao Cao had also been friends, and they did many absurd things together when they were young.

For a long time, Yuan Shao has always been suppressing Cao Cao.Whether it is background, or talent, or official position... and so on.When Cao Cao became the captain of Dianjun, Yuan Shaoyi became the captain of Sili.When Cao Cao raised troops in Dongjun, Yuan Shao had already captured Jizhou.

However, I don't know when it started, Cao Cao gradually came from behind and overwhelmed Yuan Shao.

Especially after Cao Cao obeyed the emperor's order to not be a minister, although he gave up the position of general to Yuan Shao, but the emperor was in his hands, at least in name, Yuan Shao had to respect Xu Du.Even though his official position is higher than Cao Cao's, it feels like he is a head lower than Cao Cao.

Both disdain and fear!
This is also Yuan Shao's attitude towards Cao Cao.

Now that Puyang has been captured by him, Cao Cao will surely perish sooner or later.

Cao Cao didn't save Puyang, but instead stormed Yanjin, wanting to fight himself... Ha, Yuan Shao has nearly 20 troops in Liyang, and Cao Cao, how many troops can he mobilize?
From Yuan Shao's point of view, Cao Cao was insane...

On the evening of December 28, Liyang government office.

Yuan Shao has decided to cross the river on the first day of the first lunar month and launch a general attack on Cao Cao.

He was a little tired after a busy day.So as soon as it got dark, Yuan Shao went back to the room and lay down, planning to take a nap before talking.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, Mending reported: "General, urgent report from Henan."

"Oh?"

Henan here is not the Henan Province of later generations, but refers to the south bank of the Yellow River.

At this time, Henan was supervised by Xu You.Xu You, courtesy name Ziyuan, was a friend of running around in his early years, and had friendship with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

Later, because he participated in the murder of Emperor Han by Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, he was forced to flee, and then defected to Yuan Shao's command.

Yuan Shao had a lot of trust in Xu You, and he was assigned an important task by the Standing Committee.Hearing that Xu You sent someone to deliver a letter, Yuan Shao immediately knew that something big had happened.

"Let him in now."

He stood up with his clothes on, and a small school entered the house to stir up the charcoal fire in the fire pond.

After a while, a man in black walked into the room led by Mending Xiaoxiao.

"Villain Xu Ping, I pay my respects to the General."

"Xu Ping... don't be too polite, Ziyuan asked you to come, what's the matter?"

This Xu Ping is Xu You's retainer and has been following Xu You, so Yuan Shao is no stranger.Seeing that it was Xu Ping, he had no doubts.Sitting on the couch, he spoke kindly, and asked Xu Ping to sit down and talk, revealing a kind of "everyone's own person" kindness.

Yuan Shao could do this, but Xu Ping couldn't really obey.

He took out two letters from his pocket and presented them to Yuan Shao with both hands.

"what happened?"

"Today, when my master was inspecting, he caught a spy from Cao Jun."

"Oh?"

"The master found a letter from that meticulous person, which was written by Cao Cao to Liu Bei in Puyang."

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately turned cold, showing a cold look.He nodded and opened Xu You's letter first. The content on it was similar to what Xu Ping said.At the same time, Xu You said in his heart: Cao Cao may not be ignoring Puyang, but he has a plan long ago.

After reading it, Yuan Shao frowned.

He didn't say anything, just put down the letter, and then picked up Cao Cao's letter to Liu Bei.

It is definitely Cao Cao's handwriting, Yuan Shao can distinguish it at a glance.At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had copied scriptures together, such as Guo Xiangcha's "Huashan Stele" and Cui Yuan's "Cursive Script Poetry"... It can be said that they are very clear about each other's handwriting and are no strangers to each other.

This is indeed written by Cao Cao!
Yuan Shao frowned and looked down seriously.

The content of this letter is very scribbled, and there are even some smears.But the general meaning is to tell Liu Bei: Xuande, our plan is about to succeed.Yuan Shao has been fooled, I will continue to attack Yanjin, making Yuan Shao think that I want to fight him in Hebei.After his attention shifted, you and I attacked at the same time and swallowed Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses left in Henan.

At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely concentrate his forces to counterattack. If I ask Xiahou Dun to gather [-] troops from Heluo and take advantage of the situation to attack Jizhou, Yuan Shao will be defeated.

If this is successful, I will share Hebei with Xuande...

Yuan Shao gasped, his face turned pale.

He tried his best to stabilize his mind, and said to Xu Ping, "Xu Ping, go down and rest first, I will make my own decision on this matter."

Xu Ping was only in charge of sending messages, so he naturally obeyed orders.

"Invite Mr. Jushou, Guo Tu and Mr. Feng Ji to discuss matters immediately."

Yuan Shao immediately ordered to go down, and after a while, the three of Jushou came.

"The general summoned you late at night, what happened?"

Jushou took a step forward and asked each other.

Yuan Shao handed the letter to Jushou silently, his face was gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.

"This is impossible!"

After reading the letter, Ju Shou was shocked, "My lord, this must be Cao A's scheme to keep a wedge between us."

He has had contact with Liu Bei, so he is naturally very aware of Liu Bei's current situation.Although Jushou doesn't like Liu Bei very much, but if Liu Bei and Cao Cao colluded, it is absolutely impossible.Clothes belt edict is not a trivial matter, so many lives can prove that Liu Bei and Cao Cao cannot be accomplices.Therefore, after reading the letter, Ju Shou's first reaction was that it was a plan of alienation, which could not be trusted.

Guo Tu sneered, "I don't think so."

"Oh?"

"Liu Xuande is very ambitious.

When he came to vote, I felt strange... If you say that Cao Cao is not mediocre, the generals under his command are quite capable.Tens of thousands of troops encircled and suppressed, and the elite came out together, but Liu Bei was able to escape from the heavy encirclement, travel thousands of miles, and go to the lord, which is quite strange.

It's not that I underestimate Liu Bei, but that Cao A is not taking it easy.

It was a strange thing that Liu Bei was able to break out of the encirclement; and his family members are still unknown.

It is said that his family was hidden by him.But now that the entire Yuzhou is in the hands of Cao Cao, where can his family hide?

This second.

Another point is that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan came from the same school, and they worshiped under Lu Zhi's school in the early years, and their relationship is very close.When Liu Bei was down and down, Gongsun Zan often supported him, asking soldiers to give soldiers, and generals to generals... Now that Gongsun Zan is in the hands of the lord, Liu Bei still comes to vote... Hehe, who can guarantee that this Liu Bei has no intention of avenging Gongsun Zan ?Moreover, Ziyuan captured it with his own hands, so there is absolutely no fake. "

"The public is wrong."

Ju Shou said: "Then Liu Bei fought in all directions in his early years and made great achievements in his establishment.

It's not that he doesn't know the art of war, and it's normal for Cao Cao to be able to escape because he underestimated the enemy.Besides, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if he brought his family with him?If you ask me, there is no doubt about it.As for Gongsun Zan... Hehe, it's not a state matter, so there is no reason for Liu Xuande to be ignorant of the importance. "

"Then you are sure that Liu Xuande is not hostile?"

It is often said that Yuan Shao's advisers set up their own sects and fought with each other endlessly.

But the actual situation is like this.

Jushou Tian Feng, originally Han Fu's subordinate, can be regarded as a latecomer.As for Guo Tufeng's appointment with Xu You, he served under Yuan Shao early in the morning.

However, Guo Tufengji Shenpei and others have their own parties.

Yuan Shao had three sons, and these three were divided into three sects.As for Xu You, the good ones are greedy, and although they are not affiliated with the party, they are at odds with others.In short, Yuan Shao's subordinates can be divided into countless small interest groups, who quarrel and attack each other on weekdays.

Yuan Shao felt a headache when he heard their quarrel.

"Stay here, gentlemen, stay here, gentlemen."

Seeing that the topic was getting farther and farther, and the scope was getting bigger and bigger, Yuan Shao had no choice but to stop it.

"Ziyuan is not a person who doesn't know the importance. He sent someone to deliver the letter at this time, and he probably noticed something. Mr. Jushou is right, but Gongze and Yuantu are not unreasonable. The most urgent thing is to find a way to prove that Liu Bei I don't have a second heart."

When the three of Jushou heard this, they all closed their mouths.

In Jushou's view, this kind of temptation is completely unnecessary, and it will be counterproductive if not done well.

But Feng Ji and Guo Tu were silent in thought, they thought of a good way to prove that what they said was right, so as to refute Ju Shou.

"In my opinion, why not lead Liu Bei to change defense?"

"Ok?"

Guo Tu thought for a while and said with a smile: "If Liu Bei did not collude with Cao Cao, my lord can send someone to change defense with Liu Bei and order him to withdraw from Puyang."

"This one……"

"My lord, there are two advantages to doing this.

First, if Liu Bei hadn't colluded with Cao Cao, he would have been magnanimous, and even if he changed defenses, he would not have resentment.Second, if Liu Bei really colluded with Cao Cao, he evacuated Puyang, which would be a confidant's trouble; third, if Liu Bei refused to evacuate Puyang, then this matter must be true.At that time, the Lord can order Ziyuan to send troops to quickly attack Puyang and defeat Liu Bei. Wouldn't it be beautiful? "

Jushou felt that this was a bad idea.

Wouldn't it be fair to show flaws by changing defenses at this time?

But in his heart, he hoped that Yuan Shao would agree.As for the reason for agreeing, it is to take the opportunity to prove that his vision is stronger than that of Guo Tufengji.

In short, the three of them have their own thoughts.

Yuan Shao said: "It's not good to switch defenses for no reason."

Guo Tu laughed and said, "What's the difficulty? Now that Cao Cao is attacking Yanjin, it's a good reason to let Liu Bei station in Yanjin to help defend. Liu Bei will not feel resentment for this, and the Lord can also take advantage of the opportunity. Stabilize Henan and make sure to attack later."

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, "Grandpa, this plan is very clever, so who will take the defense?"

Guo Tu and Feng Ji looked at each other and smiled suddenly.

"Ju Sima's beloved son, Juhu, has a long history of strategy, and is proficient in the art of war, with extraordinary martial arts.

Why not let him defend Puyang, so that the Lord can feel more at ease? "

"This one……"

Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at Jushou.

But seeing Jushou's face was calm, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to be dispatched by the general."

Cursing secretly in my heart: Feng Yuantu, Guo Gongze, I swear against you... Why don't you let your son go to the front line, but want my son to go to Puyang.Who doesn't know that once Cao Cao fights back, Puyang will definitely bear the brunt of it, you guys are vicious!

But he couldn't show this kind of resentment, he could only secretly cast a vicious glance at Guo Tufengji.

Let's go and see!
