Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1807 On the Edge of Out of Control

  Knowingly making mistakes, although most of the time, it seems stupid, but in fact, many people are doing it actively or passively.

   After Cao Cao received the report from Luoyang, Li Dian and others, he said that the Feiqian soldiers and horses at Hangu Pass had not changed.

  That's right, it's like the regret of waiting for three missing one in the middle of the night.

   Just like Cao Cao's previous plan, Cao Cao hoped to fight a defensive counterattack with Fei Qian, rather than a **** encounter under Hangu Pass during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.

In order to lure Fei Qian out of the army, Cao Cao sent Li Tong to assassinate even at the expense of his own reputation, just to see if he could provoke Fei Qian to leave Chang'an and go to Xu County, but was turned back by Fei Qian Cut, choked for a while and couldn't breathe smoothly.

If it is said that Fei Qian sent troops, no matter what the reason is, no matter whether it is justified or not, the people in Shandong will not be able to avoid the remembrance of the military chaos in Xiliang and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing. , Li Guo is also reborn, so there is a great possibility that the Shandong gentry will gather again to fight against Feiqian, and if they gather again this time, who is suitable to be the leader?

   Naturally only Cao Cao.

Therefore, once Fei Qian sends troops, it seems that Cao Cao is very dangerous, but as the so-called crisis contains a turning point, it also means that the opportunity for Cao Cao to reach the top is coming. If you can drag Fei Qian to Yanzhou, you will not be rich in itself, and the wars will be frequent. In the area where Cao Cao was in Jizhou and Xiahou Dun was in Yuzhou, under the attack from the north and the south of the two most affluent states of the Han Dynasty, there may not be no chance of victory.

   It's like a big gamble.

Cao Cao is not afraid of gambles, and even excited about such a gamble, just like when he planned to save the young emperor in Luoyang, he did not hesitate to put the safety of the whole family at risk, but unfortunately, Fei Qian did not follow Cao Cao's pace last time Let's go, this made Cao Cao very disappointed, as if holding back his strength, he punched and swung in vain...

   Now, it seems that the opportunity has come again.

  So even if Cao Cao knew that it was probably not done by Fei Qian, he would still say it was done by Fei Qian...

   Anyway, Cao Cao wanted everyone to think that it was Fei Qian who did it!

  The people sent by Cao Cao went under the city of Ye, and preached "What Fei Qian did" vividly, and also sent Cao Cao's personal letter to the top of the city...

Yuan Shang no longer has the appearance of Mr. Pianpianyu, his hair is disheveled, his robes are stained with many stains, his face is haggard, as if he was thrown into a small black room, and then a few strong men went in. It looks like it's trying to get out.

  Of course, the judges and Guo Tu on the side were not much better in appearance.

In fact, some of the strategies of Shen Pei and Cao Cao are very similar, that is, they both have the meaning of "using strength to fight back, defending and counterattacking", but just like General Hussars ignored Cao Cao's moves, Cao Cao also saw through Shen Pei The plan didn't put too much effort under Yecheng at all, it was just to besiege, and then lead troops to the periphery to take over the territory of Jizhou.

In this way, the solid city defense of Yecheng is like a chicken rib. It can neither consume Cao Cao's troops, nor can it be said to be abandoned like this. The dilemma is similar to Cao Cao's current situation, except that Cao Cao can still move around outside It's refreshing, but Yuan Shanghe and the judge can only honestly be trapped in a posture with their hands and feet and can't move around...

"what? Brother is dead? 』

  Yuan Shang was a little sluggish, although Yuan Shang hated Yuan Tan very much before, and even cursed through gnashing of teeth, but after hearing the news of Yuan Tan's death, Yuan Shang's heart seemed to be suddenly empty, blank and empty and felt a little painful.

  The appraiser doesn't have much energy to take care of some foolish words that Yuan Shang utters from time to time. Since Cao Cao wrote a serious letter, it means that Yuan Tan is really dead. After all, Yuan Tan was not Yuan Shang's reinforcements, but an opponent to some extent. Cao Cao falsely claimed that Yuan Tan's death was meaningless.

Cao Cao said that after Yuan Tan died, Yuan Shang's insistence would be meaningless. Cao Cao would give Yuan Shang the position originally reserved for Yuan Tan, and would also ensure that Yuan Shang could still be a happy man from a rich family, so it was better than the two Peace talks, to deal with the same enemy together, Hussar General Fei Qian...

  『Peace talks? 』The look on the judge's face was very exciting. If there is a real peace talk, what is the meaning of what he did before? "The death of the eldest son must be inseparable from Cao thief!" 』

   Just like Cao Cao knew that Fei Qian did not do it, but insisted on saying it was Fei Qian, the judge did not think that Yuan Tan's death had anything to do with Cao Cao, but he also put the blame on Cao Cao.

  Although Yuan Tan died a bit strangely, so what?

  Whether it is Yuan Shang, Jupei and Guo Tu, there is no way to verify it, or do something for Yuan Tan...

  Guo Tu frowned and remained silent. Guo Tu thought that Cao Cao didn't need to kill Yuan Tan, but he also didn't need to defend Cao Cao. Now it is not a matter of Yuan Tan's death or not, but a question of how to go next.

  Although Yecheng is strong, Cao Cao may not be able to conquer it for a while, but just like what Cao Cao is doing now, the siege of the city is all about consumption. Originally thought that Cao Cao could not afford it, but now it seems that Guo Tu has no idea.

  『What is the current plan? ’Yuan Shang asked, his eyes full of helplessness.

  Gritting his teeth, the examiner said, "Be a hussar and fight against Cao's bandit!" 』

"what? ’ Yuan Shang said, ‘Didn’t you say that Hushi sent someone to assassinate my elder brother? 』

  Guo Tu said from the side: "This is what Cao Sikong's family said. 』At the beginning, I chose Yuan Shang because I thought Yuan Shang was "stupid, white and sweet" and easy to control, but now it seems that it is difficult to deal with those who are too "stupid, white and sweet". Is the head growing on the neck? Cao Cao is now an enemy, an opponent, but he even believes what the opponent says?

  Yuan Shang didn't hear what Guo Tu said, or he couldn't think carefully after hearing it. The repeated worries and pains during this period have completely dulled and calmed Yuan Shang's cerebral cortex, perhaps like a boiled egg with its shell peeled off, it is too smooth to think about anything actively.

  The judge said: "The hussars have no grievances with the eldest son, why bother to assassinate?" The one who harmed the eldest son must be the thief Cao! 』

Of course, in fact, the trial match also had some doubts that it was Fei Qian's doing. After all, Yuan Tan's death would also disrupt Cao Cao's original plan to take over Jizhou smoothly. From this perspective, the assassination of Yuan Tan also had a good effect, but the trial The match naturally wouldn't say that, the enemy's enemy is obviously an allied force to a certain extent.

  However, the hussars are in the name of loyalty, and they act more openly. They should not do such things...

  But the question of who killed Yuan Tan is no longer important.

   What matters is now, the moment!

  Guo Tu raised his eyelids, but still didn't say anything.

  『Dare to ask where the plan will come out? 』Yuan Shang looked at the judge from the left and Guo Tu from the right, and asked expectantly. Yuan Shang has been trapped in Yecheng for too long, and he even feels that he has forgotten what the scenery outside the city is like. When he thinks of the records of the siege of the city in other places in the books, he shudders and wishes to end this kind of situation immediately. Live in pain and return to a state of natural freedom.

  『Just plan! "Shen Pei said in a low voice, "Since Cao thief said peace talks, why not use the name of peace talks to secretly send people to the place where the hussars are, and ask them to come to help! 』Now that Yecheng is under siege, it is very difficult to get out even if you want to go out, and now Cao Cao said that he wants peace talks, which just gave Yuan Shang Shenpei and others an excuse to send people out generously, and then take the opportunity to divert a few Personally go to Hussar General Fei Qian...

  Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard the word "reinforcement", and immediately said: "This is very good! Very good! Then follow the plan! Play by plan! 』

Guo Tu rolled his eyes, understood the intention behind the trial and assignment strategy, coughed and said: "If the hussars come to help, it can also solve the danger of Yecheng... But, brother Zhengnan, this hussar general may not be friendly with us." …” After Guo Tu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the north, and the meaning was very obvious. If he wanted to act as the agent of Jizhou under General Hussars, or temporarily cooperate with Generals Hussars, compared with Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi seemed more advantage...

  『Since the public rule has said this, should there be a countermeasure? You might as well say it bluntly..." The appraiser asked without waiting for Yuan Shang to reply. At this stage, to be honest, the three brothers of the Yuan family are not very good, it just depends on the higher price.

Shenpei doesn't like Cao Cao, not only because of Cao Cao's background as a eunuch, which is the most disgusting element as a son of a noble family, but more importantly, when Cao Cao was still under Yuan Shao, Shenpei and Cao Cao also had a fight or two. This time was unpleasant, although in the end, under Yuan Shao's mediation, both of them expressed their handshake and made peace, but the trial and match was only superficially because of Yuan Shao's face, and did not really say that they forgave Cao Cao.

  Of course, the judge said that it was definitely not his narrow-mindedness that made him stubborn.

Putting aside personal emotional issues, for Jizhou, Feiqian is more suitable than Cao Cao. After all, Feiqian's main power is concentrated in Shanxi, so even if Yuan Shang expressed his surrender to Feiqian, Feiqian would not be able to do so for a while. It will be difficult to control the entire Jizhou, and most of the Jizhou gentry will need to be judged and assigned to control the territory of Jizhou. This is equivalent to giving the judge and others a chance to increase their strength again. When the time comes, Yuan Shang...

As long as Fei Qian can let Yuan Shang end well, the trial match is considered good. After all, Yuan Tan died in the hands of Cao Cao. In comparison, being able to live safely in Yezhong like Liu Zhang in Sichuan can be regarded as a match for Yuan Shao. entrusted.

  In the current situation, it is better to keep Yuan Shang than to lose everything?

  Although it is not very fair to Yuan Shang, but under the whole nest, there are no eggs?

   Therefore, compared with Cao Cao and Fei Qian, the judge would rather choose Fei Qian.

   But as Guo Tu said, Fei Qian and Yuan Xi seem to have more contact. For Fei Qian, wouldn't it be more in Fei Qian's interest to choose a weaker Yuan Xi? It's like they didn't choose Yuan Tan but Yuan Shang in the trial match.

  Guo Tu stroked his beard, was silent for a moment, and said: "I have a plan, but it's just..."

  The appraiser was slightly taken aback, as if thinking of what Guo Tu was going to say, he was also a little hesitant.

  Yuan Shang didn't say anything, and immediately expressed his position: "There are good policies, but you can take advantage of the current crisis, so it's okay to speak up!" If there is a mistake, someone will take care of it! 』

  『Someone got the wisdom of brother Zhengnan...』 Guo Tu bowed his hands and thanked him, and then said, "If you want to make a divorce, you can send the Zhen family to Chang'an..."

  『Zhen Shi? ! 』Yuan Shang's eyes widened.

Because Yuan Shao left very suddenly, Yuan Xi's original family was in Yecheng, and he didn't go to Youzhou with Yuan Xi, and after Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had a falling out, there was naturally no reason to be happy Sending Yuan Xi's family to Youzhou is more or less a handle in his hands.

   Now that Guo Tu proposed to send the Zhen family to Chang'an, Yuan Shang hesitated.

  Speaking of which, in the past few years, Yuan Shang watched Zhen Mi grow up...

When Yuan Shao agreed to the marriage between Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi was still young, so Yuan Shang didn't think what happened to Zhen Mi, but in the past few years, it seemed like a pearl washed away the dust, and it seemed like real gold passed by. Huo Lian, Zhen Mi's enchantment seems to be getting more and more day by day, and her beauty is also increasing day by day, which makes Yuan Shang sometimes involuntarily come up with some bold ideas...

   "This..." Yuan Shang hesitated, "After all, it is the second brother's family... Is there something wrong? 』

  Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Shang and knew what he was thinking. After all, young people can be tough when they see a picture that doesn’t move, let alone such a big piece of life. Guo Tu also felt that Zhen Mi was indeed very beautiful, but if she didn't have the strength to protect her beauty, then her beauty would easily lead to disaster.

Furthermore, both Guo Tu and the judge have already passed the age when the blood is too concentrated in the lower body, causing cerebral ischemia. Even if they feel amazing when they see women, it is only for a while. For Guo Tu, the judge Said that more consideration is the interests of the whole, of course, including their own interests, the interests of the family.

  So, when he felt that Zhen Mi could be sold for a good price, Guo Tu did not hesitate to sell Zhen Mi. Anyway, Mrs. Zhen is from Jizhou, not to mention her own...

  『Young Master, you think Mrs. Zhen is very beautiful? ’ Guo Tu asked bluntly.

  Yuan Shang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rolled his eyes twice, and said hesitantly: "This... can be considered..."

  Guo Tu laughed and said, "If it wasn't so, how could we use the strategy of alienation?" This strategy is useful in three ways, one can be like Zhengnan brother said, use the strategy, under the guise of peace talks, delay the troops, go out of the city to collect firewood, and supplement the needs of the city...』

  『Secondly, to destroy Cao Bandit’s plan, to show that we all believe in hussars, and don’t listen to Cao Bandit’s lies...』

  『Three, you can set the heart of the city... If the city knows that we are united with the hussars, it should be set...』

  If it weren't for Zhen Mi's beauty, this estrangement would not be useful at all.

   Yuan Shang, who has a brother relationship, behaves like this, so can Fei Qian, who is in his prime, be able to bear it? Even if he can bear it, the key is whether Yuan Xi thinks that Fei Qian can bear it?

At this time, to provoke it a little bit, Yuan Xi, who was originally in a cooperative relationship with Youzhou and Fei Qian, must have doubts, and may even develop resentment because of it, so as long as there is a little spark, the relationship between Yuan Xi and Fei Qian will be improved. Naturally fell apart.

  Anyway, as long as Zhen Mi arrives in Chang'an, this lump of yellow mud will be wiped on the crotch of General Hussar.

  『But…』Yuan Shang was still hesitating, and said, 『After all, it’s brother and sister-in-law…』

  Guo Tu sneered and said, "The young master regards him as a brother, but there is a problem with a brother, brother bystander?" If he still cares about his brotherhood, why is he so late in Youzhou to sit on the wall and watch, without a single soldier coming to help? My lord's concern and criticism...hehe, I have to say that we thought that the second son had joined the hussars and sent his wife to reunite with you, what about the rest, hehe...』

  Yuan Shang's eyeballs rolled, and the color on his face gradually became ashen. The pain he experienced these days surged in his heart, and his affection for Yuan Xi was finally submerged under the more personal hatred, "Goodness! Just follow the rules of the public policy! 』
