Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 360
For the sake of safety, Yuan Shao, and the rest of the counselors also believed that sticking to Jizhou was the most secure, instead of choosing to take risks.

He did not choose the suggestion given by Xu You, and went straight to the land of Chang'an, and he was also worried that Liu Qi would send troops to attack him back and forth with Cao Cao.

In addition, this time they took Jingzhou City directly, planned Yanzhou secretly, and then persuaded Zhang Baiqi to open up the land of Nanyang and join forces, and the plan to occupy Jingzhou failed.

It also made him feel more hesitant, and even less inclined to go directly to Chang'an.

All in all.

Yuan Shao also gave up the idea of ​​directly copying Cao Cao's lair. .

Although he really wanted Cao Cao to pay the price for breaking the contract, and taking Chang'an was the best revenge for Cao Cao. In the past, he would have ordered it directly, but now, he already has The difference is different, and I also have concerns in my heart, so I can only choose a safe plan.

Waiting for Yuan Shao to turn around and go to the back hall.

The counselors and generals in the hall also left in twos and threes.

Although Yan Liang and other generals were a little upset, they had no choice but to accept Yuan Shao's order.

However, I also have opinions on these counselors in my heart, and I just gave up Jinyang. To put it nicely, it is to temporarily avoid the edge and preserve strength; They are not as good as Cao Jun.

Although it is very likely that Jinyang has fallen before the reinforcements arrive, if the two armies meet and fight, the outcome is unknown, and it is possible to regain the lost ground.

Therefore, I also have a lot of dissatisfaction with the counselors who think they are inferior to Cao Jun.

and.

Xu You was the only one who left the hall at the end.

Seeing Yuan Shao's disappearing back, he also sighed, with a tangled expression, shook his head, took some heavy steps, and went out of the hall.

Although the strategy he put forward is risky, but what is 100% is that there is opportunity with risk, and he did not propose such a strategy without evidence, and the possibility of success is higher than The risk is even greater.

The outcome can be decided in one battle.

What's more, if it succeeds, then Cao Cao will never be unable to stand up again. After that, he can conquer all the soldiers and horses owned by Cao Cao, and the world will be at his fingertips.

What a pity!

Yuan Shao is no longer what it used to be, and the advisers under his command were divided into two factions because of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. Before the great cause was achieved, they had already fought and suppressed each other, creating a situation of internal and external troubles.

Moreover, he was able to think of these things, and Guo Tu, Tian Feng, Jushou and others had no worse strategies than him. It was impossible not to think of these things, but it was still the case. It was obvious that he was afraid that once the strategy succeeded, his position in Yuan Shao's heart would be stabilized. , no one can challenge again.

Most importantly, he is not a member of two factions.

This also caused that if the strategy he proposed was beneficial to both parties, or one party was beneficial, then someone would stand up to help, otherwise it would be a rebuttal.

Coupled with Yuan Shao's character, it is even more impossible to implement it under the opposition of so many people.

left the mansion.

Xu You didn't say anything, and went to his mansion silently, his eyes kept flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking or planning.

……

And state.

near Jinyang.

On a plain, banners are flying and camps stand tall.

The camp is endless, like a snake, with no end in sight.

There are also many soldiers walking around in each camp.

Among the Chinese army.

There is a bright red main flag fluttering in the wind, with a black character 'Cao' on it.

This is where Cao Jun's Anza is located.

After Cao Cao listened to the opinions of Xi Zhicai and others, he thought and analyzed, and chose to attack Bingzhou instead of Jingzhou.

He can also understand that even if Jingzhou is won, Liu Qi will not be slumped, and he will not be able to completely win the entire land of Jingzhou, and will have disputes with the other princes.

As for the conquest of Bingzhou, coupled with the fact that the Jingzhou incident disturbed the view, as long as the action was fast enough, the entire Bingzhou land could be taken, and half of the Bingzhou land controlled by Yuan Shao could be captured.

The current situation also proves that it was a very correct choice to give up attacking the land of Jingzhou and seek the land of Bingzhou.

With only one Jinyang left, he was able to completely capture the entire land of Bingzhou, but the princes who went to occupy the land of Jingzhou did not even seize a single piece of land, and finally returned to their own territories in a state of embarrassment.

Especially his opponent this time, Yuan Shao, suffered the heaviest loss. Fifty thousand elite troops entered the land of Jingzhou, but only a few thousand returned, almost unable to withdraw even Yan Liang and the judges. This is what made him the happiest. .

Although he seized the opportunity to win Yuan Shao's territory in Bingzhou, leaving only the last place - Jinyang, but after Yuan Shao reacted, it was hard to say whether he would lead an army to Jinyang to have a showdown with him.

Yuan Shao lost more than 4 elite soldiers in the capture of Jingzhou.

He can also face it much more easily, and it can also be easier to defeat Yuan Shao.

And he can also understand the situation in his own army. Now it is not suitable for long-term combat at all, and he can only win a quick battle. That is what he wants.

Once a long-term battle is carried out, it is very likely that he will lose, not Yuan Shao.

Fortunately.

Because the army was secretly dispatched, concealed their whereabouts, and took down the rest of the city in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

Now even if Yuan Shao leads his troops, this fact cannot be changed. All that remains is to repel the troops that Yuan Shao might send over, or personally lead the troops to support them. Then the captured city can be stabilized. Yuan Shao It is no longer possible to regain these territories, and he will not let Yuan Shao have the possibility of regaining these territories.

However, Cao Cao still wanted to win the entire land of Bingzhou, after all, it was the last land left, and Yuan Shao's reinforcements had not yet arrived.

As long as Jinyang is captured before Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive, then nothing will happen to Yuan Shao.

They've already arrived here, and they won't be reconciled if they don't take down the last one, and it's not like there's no chance, it just depends on who moves fast enough.

Even if he didn't win Jinyang before the arrival of the reinforcements, he wouldn't have any losses. He could just retreat to the rest of the place and stand in a stalemate with Yuan Shao.

But if he wins, then he will be able to unify the land of Bingzhou, which is one step closer to his unification of the northern part of the Central Plains, and he, who owns the land of three states, can also develop better.

At that time, Yuan Shao was no longer his opponent, and he had coveted Jizhou for a long time.

and so.

Cao Cao is also in the main account, raising the account to discuss matters.

Discuss how to quickly capture Jinyang and stop Yuan Shao's reinforcements from Bingzhou!
