We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

What shocked Xun Yu even more was that when he looked at the entire essay, he found that he was brilliant at every point, and the reasons were explained from the simple to the deep. It was so accurate that it had to make people think deeply.

People who have seen it will resonate with it.

At the end of the statement, it was intended to reveal that Cao Cao seemed to be supporting the Han Dynasty, but in fact he had the intention to usurp the Han Dynasty.

If this message is allowed to be published, Cao Cao's prestige in Yanzhou will be greatly damaged.

If this continues for a long time, once the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao reaches a stalemate, it will definitely affect Cao Cao's prestige.

And the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be to Cao Cao.

"Lord, don't start a war with Yuan Shao!"

Suddenly, a person stood up and said.

Hearing this, everyone looked at that person.

That person was Chen Qun, the chief registrar, of the Chen family in Yingchuan. He was born into a prominent family, with profound knowledge and far-sightedness. However, he was also overly cautious and preferred to defend his position in many matters rather than take the initiative to attack.

"My lord, now is not the time to start a war with Yuan Shao. We have spent a lot of time laying the groundwork for today. If we start a war with Yuan Shao, if we are not careful, our advantage will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Chen Qun's words immediately attracted the approval of the majority of people. Among the Han officials, most people indeed did not agree to start a war with Yuan Shao at this time.

Since the crusade message reached Xuchang, many veterans and Cao Cao's advisers came to the prime minister's residence just to know with their own eyes Cao Cao's attitude towards the matter.

In the past year, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao continued to recruit troops and horses, vigorously promoted benevolent policies, and accumulated a large amount of food. As a result, both sides' troops and horses received a huge supply of food and grass.

However, Yuan Shao has a unique advantage: now he has no worries.

But Cao Cao was different.

Nowadays, Jingzhou is also watching with eager eyes. If Cao Cao launches a full-scale war, he will definitely face the potential threat from Jingzhou.

Furthermore, Jiangdong Sun Ce is by no means a good person. He has long been thinking of plotting for hegemony. If Cao Cao leaves some opportunities, Jiangdong Sun Ce will definitely not miss this opportunity.

After hearing this analysis, many people gradually began to worry about the war.

Xi Zhicai immediately said in a deep voice, "Now, Yuan Shao has more than 400,000 troops, and he occupies a huge city, and the city has a huge population. If Yuan Shao is allowed to continue to develop like this, he will easily be able to have 80 troops. More than ten thousand!"

After saying this, Xi Zhi glanced at Cao Cao and then continued, "However, now the troops and horses under the lord's command, Xuzhou and Qingzhou, plus Yangzhou North, totaled 180,000 troops, and Yanzhou has 200,000 troops." Soldiers and horses, it seems that there are many soldiers and horses, not much different from Yuan Shao."

"However, if a war breaks out, at least 60,000 soldiers and horses will be needed to guard Hefei and Wancheng."

"In contrast, Yuan Shao only needs 6,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the intrusion of the foreign tribes outside the pass. If he has more troops, Yuan Shao can even make the foreign tribes outside the pass surrender to him directly."

"Oh? Why is this?" After hearing these words, Cao Cao's face gradually darkened.

If we look at it calmly, it is indeed inappropriate to start a war with Yuan Shao now. In fact, it is a fight between snipe and clam, and the fisherman will benefit.

Once he goes to war with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others will definitely seize this opportunity to seize the city that Cao Cao cannot take care of, so as to continuously increase their strength.

Fengyi spent a lot of energy and time to stabilize Xuzhou. If he rushes to war with Yuan Shao, he may ruin the advantage he has finally established.

Cao Cao was very upset at this time. He was very uncomfortable. He was scolded in thousands of words, and even his ancestors were scolded for eighteen generations. Who could endure such an insult?

Cao Cao glanced at the appeal against thieves on the document. Although he felt uncomfortable, he knew in his heart that this was actually Yuan Shao's intention, just to start a war with him.

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao's expression and said solemnly, "My lord, there is one more thing. Currently, there is very little grass outside the pass and in the north. According to Master Xi, this is because of the current small... What ice age..."

"Haha, if the war horses of those nomadic peoples lack grass, any of us Han princes can easily chase them to Langjuxu Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven..."

"Did these words come from Fengyi's mouth?" Hearing this, Cao Cao looked slightly startled and frowned, but he felt very comfortable in his heart.

Nowadays, although the Han Dynasty is falling apart and the princes from all sides are in charge of their own affairs, even in such a fragmented situation, foreign forces do not dare to invade the land of the Han Dynasty easily.

This is the momentum that a great country should have. How wonderful to say it!

"Based on what you said, if we start a war with them, we will have to use more than 200,000 troops to fight against Yuan Shao's nearly 400,000 troops?"

"Yes, and if the two sides cannot win quickly after the war begins, it will inevitably fall into a fierce and protracted war. Once the war reaches a stalemate, Yuan Shao is likely to unite some grassroots bandits to jointly oppose the lord."

"If that's the case, it's more likely to bring out a force of 100,000 troops..."

But Cao Cao suddenly laughed unexpectedly, "Haha, even if Yuan Shao can really recruit grass bandits as soldiers, the combat effectiveness of these improvised teams can be imagined and there is nothing to fear at all.

"As the ancient saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than simply numbers."

"The most important thing in leading an army to fight a war is not to be prosperous, but to be brave and resourceful!"

"I've already taught you all these basic common senses. Could it be that you have completely forgotten them?"

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised slightly, and his face was full of confidence. At this time, Cao Cao was full of confidence. He was not worried about losing at all, and he never thought about what he would do if he lost?

"I am very much in favor of starting a war! Lord, if you are having trouble making a decision, why not ask someone to invite Master Xi here? If you still can't decide, you can call Master Xu back to discuss countermeasures with you!"

"Of course we have to go to war with Yuan Shao, and we have to attack hard! It's best to hang Yuan Shao up and torture him!"

As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Xi Yu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Haha, Fengyi, you're here!" Cao Cao was very happy when he saw Xi Yu coming suddenly.

Nowadays, he feels more and more that Xi Yu is very important and indispensable to him.

Cao Cao suddenly discovered that as long as Xi Yu was there, he was confident and did not feel guilty at all.

"Fengyi, you came at the right time. Have you ever read the appeal against thieves?" Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu and asked.

"Back to brother, I have already read the essay. Chen Linzhi's writing style is as majestic and majestic as a big river. It is really wonderful. If brother, you have scribes under your command who can write such a good article, how can you, brother? If you are worried about this matter, you will not be afraid of this battle!"

"Be bold!"

"Xiyu, what do you want to say?"

"Those words should never have come out of your mouth."

"What? After hearing what you said, I want to start a scolding battle?!"

When the clan generals heard these words, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. These people were chattering and suddenly started to quarrel.

Many people are eager to eat or swallow the trick in one bite.

At this time, Xun Yu was also startled, and thought to himself: I really can't tell, this is too cruel, so praising Chen Lin, wouldn't it be tantamount to being shocked, I guess, this is too cruel...praising Chen Lin, Isn't this just scolding the lord?

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha... Hehehe, that's very good. The truth is indeed correct. Chen Lin, I have long been a member of the country's humanities and history, but it's just that the pearl is secretly cast!"

"Hateful, really hateful!"

Cao Cao walked in front of the generals. On both sides of him were Cao Cao's civilian advisers on the left, and on the right were the military generals and clan members of the mayor's battlefield. These people all watched helplessly as Cao Cao and Xi Yu came together.

Following Xi Yu were several people, including Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was alone in Xiapi City, Xuzhou, dealing with daily official affairs very hard. Now, he has become the most suitable candidate. Now he is experienced and has hundreds of strategies in his heart. Fortunately, he has documents and countless celebrities. Let's help each other, everything will be stable in the rear!

"Okay, good, just come."

Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu with a solemn expression on his face?

As far as Cao Cao is concerned, Fengyi's arrival at this time will surely stabilize the chaotic situation in front of him.

But why?

Because when Xi Yu arrives, he will definitely be able to settle down soon after he was an unruly minister.

If Cao Cao alone said this, maybe there are still people who are taking a chance and hope that Xi Yu doesn't agree with it either.

However, if Xi Yu also agreed, the outcome would be different.

After all, in today's world of Han Dynasty, there are two very famous and powerful figures. Once they choose to agree on something, who will change their opinions or oppose it? "

Guo Jia, who was behind Xi Yu, took out a scroll of letters from his hand and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this is the first gift that my lord has prepared for you!"

"Oh? You also prepared a gift for me??"

Cao Cao liked Guo Jia very much, and when he heard Guo Jia's words, he was very much looking forward to it.

"Everyone, this is what I wrote, a theory of ten victories and ten defeats!"

"My lord, Duke Cao, will win ten times against Yuan Shao! But Yuan Shao will definitely lose ten times against me, Duke Cao!!"

Ten wins and ten losses?

That’s quite a big statement!

Where do you get the confidence to speak so brazenly? !

Yuan Shao's current military strength is twice that of Cao Cao's troops in Xuchang. How could Yuan Shao lose to Cao Cao? !

But if the war becomes more and more depleted, it will definitely become more powerful!

In the end, the situation must be very embarrassing.

"Jia Pi has heard that Yuan Shao has ten defeats and Cao Gong has ten victories. Although Shao has a strong army, he cannot use it."

"Yuan Shao likes to be rich in etiquette, but Cao Gong's style is to let nature take its course. This way is better than anything else."

"Yuan Shao rebelled with his freedom, and Duke Cao obeyed and led the world. This righteousness is better than the other two."

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the government failed to be lenient. Yuan Shao used lenient to give lenient, so he was not deterred. Cao Gong corrected him with fierceness. From then on, he understood the system from top to bottom. This governance is superior to the three.

…

Yuan Shao likes to use weak power and does not know the key points of military strategy. Cao Gong uses a small number to defeat the masses and uses troops like a god. The soldiers rely on him and the enemy is afraid of him. This kind of martial arts is better than ten. "

"With Duke Cao's ten victories, how easy is it to defeat Yuan Shao!"

Guo Jia opened the book, his words were cadenced, and his expression was very high-spirited. After reading such impassioned words, Guo Jia's black robe was flying in the wind, and his long black hair was rolled up, giving him a unique scholarly atmosphere.

Even more so with a bit of great pride!

When everyone heard this talk of ten victories and ten defeats, no matter whether they were scribes or generals, their blood boiled with excitement.

"The temple is very good! Not bad! What a victory in one sentence! What a victory in martial arts!"

Xun Yu suddenly looked solemn, took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said: "You have decided to start a war. Then I will immediately request the troops to go to the war! Yuan Shao is nothing to be afraid of. My lord, you will definitely win!"

"Okay, let's start the war!!! How can I be afraid of Yuan Shao?! As long as Yuan Shao dares to fight, I will order Xia Houyuan to accompany him to the end!!"

"Very good!!! This theory of ten victories and ten defeats immediately spread among the army, so that our soldiers can also learn from it, who is the real hero!!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Guo Jia deeply. At this moment, he was excited about martial arts, impassioned and passionate.

In this battle, both sides will definitely dispatch at least 600,000 troops and horses at the beginning of the war. As the war progresses, even more troops and horses will join.

As a result, with so many soldiers and horses, such a big war will definitely not be able to end within a year.

From this point of view, this battle has a high chance of falling into a stalemate.

"Very good, your words of filial piety won my heart!"

Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Finally, he sighed silently, "It's just that Chen Lin's confession is really murderous! It makes me really uncomfortable. Which one of you has such talent can make Yuan Shao speechless. It's so... Am I in so much pain?"

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai immediately looked at Xi Yu and then at Guo Jia.

perhaps……

Nowadays, there are people with such talent and knowledge. Only these two people who wrote the farewell note and the theory of ten victories and ten defeats can debate with Chen Lin.

But at this time, Xi Yu showed a smile, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Cao Cao, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "This is the second gift I want to give to my brother."

"Someone, bring it up."

"Here!!!"

Dian Wei immediately responded angrily.

Then, Dian Wei turned around and went out. A moment later, he came in carrying a box as big as one person, and suddenly it hit the ground.

"boom!"

A cloud of dust immediately rose and spread.

"What is this?"

At this moment, the forty people present were all very curious. They stretched their heads and looked over, but could not see any clues.

"I do not know……"

"This, couldn't be some kind of weapon, right?"

"Maybe a map?"

"Could it be...the key to Jizhou?"

Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, he looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Fengyi, what is this?"

Xi Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Brother's message!!"

"This is a petition against Yuan written by 360 scholars, celebrities and scholars in Xuzhou!"

"Haha, what does Chen Lin's one article mean? Now, I will give my brother three hundred and sixty articles!"

Three hundred...sixty! ! !

Hearing this, Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and other generals were all in indescribable shock!

"What? Three hundred and sixty articles!"

"Fengyi, with you here, this is really a gift from heaven to help me, Cao Cao! Fengyi! You are really a noble person of my Cao Cao..."

Cao Cao was the first to react from the shock.

Shocked, surprised, and in the end bursts of ecstasy.

"Hahaha! Okay, very good, let me see who wrote it!"

After saying that, Cao Cao walked directly to the big box. The civil servants and generals also looked over, and Xun Yu was even more surprised.

They never thought that the literati in Xuzhou would take the initiative to side with their lord Cao Cao.

Three hundred and sixty talented people must all be proud people, and they will definitely not be easily involved in such a huge war of words!

But now, there are really more than 300 people who, in order to help Cao Cao, even sleep and eat, write essays, and quarrel with Chen Lin, who is known as a god of literary talent!

"Kong Rong!"

"Huang Chengyan!"

"Xiangyang Pang Tong!"

"Yuan Pang?! I really didn't expect this person to be under your command, Fengyi."

"Brothers Xu Shao and Xu Jing! I remember that these two were arrogant people before, and they were also my first benefactors to Cao Cao. I never expected that they would also fall under your command."

Cao Cao looked carefully at the names above the slogan, feeling very happy in his heart.

What made Cao Cao even more happy was that in the middle of the slogan, he actually saw the name of his favorite son, Cao Ang.

"Fengyi, my Ang'er, does he really have such literary talent?" Cao Cao asked deliberately and proudly.

"Xi Yu! Benevolence!" Soon, Cao Cao saw the appeal written by Xi Yu, followed by Zhuge Liang of Langya and Guo Jia of Yingchuan!

Yuan Shao's entire family was scolded in one article after another in various styles.

Among them, Xi Yu’s curse words were the most irritating!

Xi Yu scolded Yuan Shao for being a real Han traitor!

Dong Zhuo was personally recruited by Yuan Shao, which triggered a greater turmoil and caused the entire Han Dynasty to fall into a chaotic situation of powerful occupation and disintegration!

At the end of the appeal, Yuan Shao's eighteenth generation ancestor was severely scolded.

"Good! Very good! Fengyi, you will definitely do a great job this time!" Cao Cao said loudly.

"Three hundred and sixty volumes of appeals. If they are released like this, Yuan Shaoding will be so angry that he will vomit blood! Hahaha!!!"

After reading the appeal, Cao Cao felt a little proud.

He walked up to Xu Chu and was so happy that he couldn't help but patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and said, "In the early years, Yuan Shao and I were friends. He can be regarded as my brother. After we formed an alliance, we worked hard to develop separately. Taking the Yellow River as the boundary, he takes Jizhou in the north and I take Yanzhou in the south."

"At that time, I respected Yuan Shao so much. I considered him my brother and followed his strategies."

As he spoke, Cao Cao put his hands behind his back and kept thinking about the past, "Later, I suppressed Yanzhou and captured Xuzhou, while Yuan Shao stabilized Jizhou and captured Bingzhou. At that time, I thought that sooner or later, Yuan Shao and I would have a battle, so I also I gradually distanced myself from him.”

Cao Cao's expression became a little complicated.

"Later, I destroyed Yuan Shu, took the north of Yangzhou, and then took the land of Qingzhou as a righteous man."

"Yuan Shao is attacking Youzhou. Now, the difference in strength between me and Yuan Shao is more than 200,000!"

Cao Cao suddenly looked solemn and said, "But I am not afraid of Yuan Benchu ​​at all. If there is a war, I, Cao Cao, will definitely defeat him!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu thought for a moment, then bowed to Cao Cao, "My lord, why are you so different from Yuan Shao's troops and horses, and why do you look down on Yuan Shao more and more?"

"Because the victory of a military strategist lies not in quantity, but in essence!"
