Lu's relatives

Chapter 533 The sky is turned upside down, chaotic wars attack (three one)

Cao Cao used Yangmou.

This sudden change in Hebei, from Cao Cao's perspective, how could it be impossible to see that someone was secretly manipulating it afterwards.Although there is still no conclusive evidence to confirm who cut the barbarian halfway and ruined his good deeds.But if you think about it with your butt, you can't escape those people.

Gongsun Zan, assisted by Liu Bei, counts as one.Liu Bei's army almost won the Yecheng incident before, which really stimulated Gongsun Zan's ambition for Jizhou. This time he led the army to attack, and Cao Cao was the biggest enemy standing in front of Gongsun Zan.Although the two armies have never had a big war, small frictions are becoming more frequent, and big wars can be said to be on the verge of breaking out. It is not uncommon to use this method to prevent Cao Cao from being too "complacent".However, after defeating Liu He, Gongsun Zan took control of the seven counties of Youzhou, backed by his own clan, held the largest and best horse farm in the hands of the big man, and had heroes like Liu Bei as minions, no matter whether he was equipped or stored. Food is not comparable to other forces caught in the situation in Hebei. As long as there is enough time for Gongsun Zan to dispatch troops and generals, he can completely confront Cao Cao on the Hebei Plain and force Cao Cao to retreat in an upright manner. Take Yuan Shao's seat.After thinking about it carefully, he didn't go far and wide, and tried his best to trick the emperor into supporting the son of his opponent.Besides, Gongsun Zan's character made Cao Cao suspicious for a moment, and he decided that this was definitely not like Gongsun Zan's actions.When he was at Hulao Pass, Cao Cao had crossed paths with Gongsun Zan. A courageous and resourceful Yanzhao man did not seem to be able to use such low-level methods.

And seeing the skillful means of using such a bottom-up plan, after ruling out Gongsun Zan's "suspect", Cao Cao's mind flashed the face of the young man whose name is still embroidered on the bottom of his robe so far, and who dared not make him forget. .

Qin Xu!Just like Dong Cheng, Qin's reputation is not very good among the few heroes around Qingzhou.But as long as it is not a good thing, even if there is only a slight possibility, it will make people think of it.At this moment, in Cao Cao's heart, Qin Xu was undoubtedly shot again.

Cao Cao suffered too much from Qin Xu.Whether it was the battle of the unnamed valley that belonged to Qin Xu's first battle, or the battle to defend Jinan, Cao Cao, who was proficient in military strategy, was defeated several times by the hands of Ruzi; under the city of Xuzhou, outside Chang'an, even his strategy was defeated by this guy If it wasn't for Cao Cao's mind being strong enough, he would have been tricked into doing this by a little-known kid these few times, and when he entered Chenliu alone to take away his favorite talent, Guo Jia, he would have been scolded for a while. Not to mention, it is said that at the end of the day, he even abducted a fierce general who was as powerful as Lu Bu... It can be said that Cao Cao's complicated emotions towards Qin Xu these years, to use an inappropriate metaphor, is simply the depth of love, He hated him so much, otherwise he wouldn't have embroidered the name of such a young man who was about the same age as his son on the bottom of his robe.

It was precisely because of Cao Cao's feelings towards Qin Xu that after ruling out the "suspect" of Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao immediately turned his attention to Qingzhou.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was concerned about the pressure of Lu Bu's army, and when Liu Bei and the Heishan allied forces' attack targets were unclear, he made an alliance with Lu Bu to divide Hebei equally.In fact, at the beginning, Cao Cao also abandoned Jizhou, which is not directly bordered with Yanzhou headquarters, to win the strategy of Bingzhou and get involved in Youzhou.Moreover, Xun You, an envoy with sufficient weight, was also dispatched to travel between the two states of Hebei.And after Qin Xu left, he did help Jizhou, forcing Liu Bei, who coveted Jizhou selfishly, and the Black Mountain Army, who was panicked like a bereaved dog, to survive in the gap between the two states. The city wall was even thicker, so people sneaked back to Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan, who was holding a wait-and-see attitude, quickly dispatched troops to respond.It can be seen that Cao Cao actually didn't want to tear his face prematurely at the same time as Lu Bujun, who was roughly the same strength.

However, as Lu Bu was injured and retreated to Yecheng, Qin Xu then dispatched all Lu Bu's garrison troops in Yecheng, making Jizhou, a rich place, almost become the defeated army of Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and even Heishan bandits surrounding Jizhou. I want to grab a treasure land of oil and water.Only then did Cao Cao "helplessly" change his strategy. It happened that although Yuan Tan in Bingzhou had elite soldiers and strong generals, he was just a stern and soft-hearted guy. Secretly passed on a letter to Yuan Xi, and under the guise of mediating the war between the two brothers of the Yuan family, he reached out to Jizhou.

If you don't want the fat you get, why don't others get involved?This reason is said to break the sky, but it is also untenable.Therefore, although Cao Cao did it very secretly, he didn't have much thought of being ashamed of his allies.After all, seeing Lu Bu not coming out for a long time, Qingzhou is gradually in chaos. Who knows whether Lu Wenhou, who is known as the world's most powerful general, can survive after being injured by a villain. Cao Cao really couldn't sit still.If Cao and others don't take it, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, and Heishan bandits will all be salivating beside him, so it would be better to take advantage of himself.

However, Cao Cao also obviously miscalculated that Qin Xu's original intention of withdrawing the Xiaoqi Battalion led by Zhang Liao back to Qingzhou in the name of Lu Bu under Jia Xu's plan was to fully mobilize the quagmire of Hebei, which had fallen into a stalemate. , in order to weaken the attention of all the princes and heroes in the world who are thinking about Qingzhou.After seeing Qin Xu's return to the army, almost everyone thought that whoever was more capable would be the one who was busy quelling the civil strife and perhaps preparing for the handover of "big power". Take this treasure land that once allowed Yuan Shao to have the top three strengths of the world's heroes in just half a year into his hands.Gongsun Zan then moved!Liu Bei moved!Although the black mountain bandits suffered a lot from the previous battle, but this time they are still ready to move.In the end, even Cao Cao was inevitably dragged in.Fortunately, when Cao Cao and Lu Bu made an appointment to plan Hebei, he was familiar with Jizhou, so he had a little bit of a head start, and now he has the current situation, but because of this kind of conspiracy by some wicked thing The trick is to make Cao Cao pay the capital. It can be said that it has increased a lot, and it is very likely that he will lose all his money.

It must be Qingzhou!If it was said that Cao Cao was only a little more suspicious of Lu Bu's army in Qingzhou and Qin Xu before, after sending Yuan Tan away, Cao Cao, who calmed down, confirmed his guess more and more.Lu Bu was seriously injured, and Qin Xu must not move lightly in order to stabilize the three states.But anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of Jizhou's strategic location compared to Lu Bu's army.As for Cao Cao's army, whose subordinates Yanzhou, Yuzhou and even Jiujiang County of Yangzhou, which have long been occupied, are bordering on a large area of ​​Lv Bu's influence, if they have Jizhou again, they will completely control the entire land controlled by Lv Bu's army, forming a war. The large encirclement circle, if there is a war, it is the place of the Fourth World War. Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which have no danger to defend, will be completely exposed before the Cao army attacks the army at that time. The north, southeast and south cannot stick to it. up.From this point of view, compared to Gongsun Zan and other forces in Hebei, it is not difficult to guess who is the person who least expects Cao Cao to successfully control Jizhou.

However, Lu Bu is still the best general in the world anyway, because the Hulaoguan incident a few years ago, and the pursuit battle outside Luoyang City that made Cao Cao almost lose his life, made Cao Cao very scruples about Lu Bu, and After that, Qin Xu held those big losses in Qin Xu's hands, which made Cao Cao believe with [-]% certainty that the incident that made him almost lose his head in front of a junior like Yuan Tan must have come from Qingzhou is even very likely to be the work of Qin Xutong's poisonous man Jia Xu, whom Dong Zhuo relied on as his confidant at the beginning, and Guo Jia, a great talent recommended by Xi Zhicai at the end of his life, but before Cao Cao had no absolute evidence, But still dare not draw any conclusions.

Therefore, in the Jinyang mansion, Cao Cao wanted to ask Yuan Shang, who was specially named Shangtinghou by the emperor and led the governor of Jizhou, to add Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, as the shepherd of Jizhou.Cao Cao just wanted to see if the cute and hateful Qin couldn't see the tricks he had hidden in the memorandum after he saw the move, and still couldn't lead the army in Lu Bu's view. At this time, will he be caught in his plan of "returning the other's way with the other's way"?And this time, it is not so much to solve the knot that Cao Jun is now made out of unknown teachers and difficult to enter Jizhou. Cao Cao is trying to fight for his breath. In Cao Cao's eyes, although Qin Xu is young, he is definitely a respectable and hateful opponent. In a certain aspect, Cao Cao still can't figure out what happened to the Thunderbolt.But Cao Cao also has his pride. When he plays such a conspiracy, Cao Cao really wants to see if Qin Xu has the ability to deal with it freely.

But it was too unfair to Yuan Tan.Anyway, he was willing to surrender, and he was the son of Yuan's parents. Although he seemed to have some small thoughts of his own, from Cao Cao's perspective, it was still within the tolerable range.It can be said that the first surrender of Bingzhou not only did not damage Cao Jun's generals, but also gained a strong boost. In this regard, Yuan Tan's role is far more practical than symbolic to Cao Cao.

However, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fought in front of Yuan Shao before, and after Yuan Shao's sudden death, they also fought for the position of the head of the Yuan family left by Yuan Shao. Up to now, they finally have some common thoughts on the matter of belonging to Hebei. , but because of this incident, Yuan Xi finally surpassed Yuan Tan by a head. It is no wonder that when Yuan Tan left just now, his face was extremely ugly.

Even if it is a test!After this incident, if you can change your mind, you can give it to a high-ranking official with a false post and make offerings in Xuchang!It can be regarded as worthy of the friendship with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who belonged to the three evils of Luoyang.After Cao Cao decided on this plan, his mood relaxed a lot, and he also showed some affection for Yuan Tan, the former junior...
