Chapter [232] Yuan And Cao Envoys Enter Xianyang
Yuzhou.
Because Cao Cao's major shareholders are all Yingchuan family, although Cao Cao failed to coerce the emperor to command the princes in this life, he still moved his government from Yanzhou to Xu County in Yuzhou, taking this place as the core of his rule.
In Cao Cao's shogunate, civil servants and generals gathered together.
Not only the high-level members of Cao Cao's power group, but also all middle-level officials and generals in the army attended the meeting as if it were an enlarged meeting.
Cao Cao held a piece of brocade in his hand, looked at it seriously, muttered constantly, and shook his head from time to time.
"Bang!" Cao Cao suddenly slapped the table.
The officials below didn't know why, so they all looked at Cao Cao in a daze.
"Wonderful writing! Wonderful writing!"
"There seems to be the sound of gold and iron horses between the lines, murderous!"
Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "For Yuan Shao's appeal to Yuzhou, this guy named Chen Lin is really powerful. In my opinion, just this essay alone is far better than 100,000 soldiers!"
"Yuan Shao's army has not been killed yet, and this volume of proclamation alone puts us in an absolute passive position." August 13
Cao Cao spoke in earnest, constantly commenting on the article, everyone was stunned when they heard it, thinking when did Cao Cao still have the heart to appreciate the article here?
"Yuan Shao's army of 500,000 troops is suppressing the country, and there is such a sharp article to spread to the world, why not surrender, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked seriously.
As soon as this remark came out, there was silence in the field, and a needle could be heard.
Ever since the news of Yuan Shao's 500,000 troops coming down the border, many people under Cao Cao's command were indeed pessimistic, thinking that the remaining 100,000 troops alone would not be enough to resist Yuan Shao, and it was better to surrender.
But in private, it's all about talking, but when Cao Cao put the matter on the table, no one dared to be the first to be out of the game.
Seeing this, Guo Jia chuckled and said, "In my opinion, the lord will win and Yuan Shao will lose."
"Oh?" Cao Cao said with great interest, "How do you know that? Why do I feel that Yuan Shao will definitely win?"
"Liu and Xiangzhi were defeated, and the public knows it. The ancestor of the Han Dynasty only won by wisdom, but Xiang Yu was captured, although he was strong. Jia stole the information, Shao had ten defeats, and the public had ten victories."
Guo Jia got up from his seat and walked slowly into the arena, eloquently and eloquently, an impassioned theory of ten victories and ten defeats came from Guo Jia's mouth.
"With these ten victories, there is no difficulty in defeating Shao!" Guo Jia stopped immediately after speaking, and bowed to Cao Cao who was in the lead.
"Good! What a theory of ten victories and ten defeats!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Feng Xiao's literary talents are far better than Chen Lin."
"Feng Xiao can beat Chen Lin, so naturally I, Cao Mengde, can also beat Yuan Benchu!" Cao Cao exuded strong self-confidence in his tone, "There are not enough disciples of Yuan Benchu!"
"All the generals obeyed the order and led the army to the banks of the Yellow River, vowing to show off with Yuan Shaopifu."
"Obey!"
A group of generals were all infected, and they stood up to take orders one after another, without any fear of war.
"Wen Ruo and Yuan Rang sit in the rear, and I personally lead the army to fight Yuan Shao."
According to the old rules, Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu are still left to sit in the rear.
"My lord, I heard that there is a change in Lu Bu's side, maybe we can take advantage of Lu Bu." Guo Jia said.
Cao Cao nodded slowly, "That's right, according to Tan Ma Lai's report, Lu Bu sent troops to Hangu Pass, apparently to take back Hedong, Hanoi and Bingzhou.
"If used well, Lu Bu can share a considerable part of the pressure for us."
"My lord, it's better to send an envoy. I heard that Lu Bu has just built Xianyang City. You can use this as an excuse to send people to congratulate. Then persuade Lu Bu to take the opportunity to take back Bingzhou." Guo Jia suggested.
"It makes sense." Cao Cao nodded slightly, "With Lu Bu's prestige, he can at least draw 100,000 troops for us, or even more."
"Immediately send envoys to Xianyang to encourage Lu Bu to send troops to merge the state and share the pressure for us.
Huainan.
Beside the fire, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were sitting opposite each other, making tea and chatting.
"Military Master, Yuan Shao has raised troops, and the call to crusade against Cao Cao has spread all over the world. How should we deal with it?" Liu Bei said, pouring Zhuge Liang a cup of tea.
Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup, stared at the cup, and unconsciously turned the teacup in his hand with five fingers.
"Huh~" Blowing on the steaming hot tea, Zhuge Liang took a sip of the hot tea, ah good tea.
"My lord, don't worry." Zhuge Liang put down his teacup and said, "Yuan Shao raised an army of 500,000 troops. If there is no change, Cao Cao must not be an opponent."
"Facing Yuan Shao's army of 500,000 troops, Cao Cao will definitely take away all the troops under his rule, gather them together, and deal with Yuan Shao's attack with all his strength. At that time, Xuzhou will definitely be empty.
"When Yuan Shao wiped out Cao Cao, we took advantage of the situation to cross the Huai River and enter Xuzhou."
"The lord was quite famous in Xuzhou at the beginning, so it is not difficult to take the opportunity to win Xuzhou." Zhuge Liang talked eloquently.
"Then we take advantage of the fire to loot, how can Yuan Shao sit idly by?" Liu Bei asked worriedly, "Cao Cao can't stop an army of 500,000, let alone Wei.
"Don't worry, my lord, someone will stop us." Zhuge Liang was confident.
"who?"
"Lu Bu!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "You must know that Bingzhou was Lu Bu's territory at the beginning, and Yuan Shao's army was mobilized. Lu Bu will not let go of such a good opportunity."
"Once Lu Bu invaded Bingzhou, Yuan Shao would have no time to look after him, and Xuzhou would easily fall into our hands."
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Liu Bei applauded.
Zhuge Liang's deduction is not wrong, after all, on paper, Cao Cao really has no chance of winning.
Winning more with less is an anomaly. A normal strategist can only predict the outcome of a war based on strength analysis on paper. It is impossible to bet that the weak can turn defeat into victory.
"Then what if Cao Cao won this war?" Liu Bei suddenly asked curiously.
"Although the possibility is very low, it's not impossible." Zhuge Liang said with a serious face, "I don't want Cao Cao to win, because once Cao Cao wins, there will be too many variables."
"Yuan Shao wins, we can easily win Xuzhou."
"With Yuan Shao's strength, he can still form a confrontation with Lu Bu, and the two are involved in each other."
"But Cao Cao won, and it will affect the whole body..." Zhuge Liang's voice was low and inaudible, and he did not continue.
Xianyang, Qin Palace.
Holding a Qianjun bow in his hand, Lu Bu practiced his arrows on the court of the palace, shooting a target six hundred paces away.
Beside Lu Bu, Lu Shao was holding a special half-stone bow and was shooting at a target thirty paces away.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The father and son released the bowstring at the same time, Lu Shao's arrow hit the bull's-eye steadily, while Lu Bu shot the target directly and exploded.
"Your Majesty, the Garden Sutra sent envoys to come and see you."
"Hmph! Are you trying to trick my sister again?" Lu Shao angrily said, "Watch me shoot him."
Inheriting Lu Bu's gene, Lu Shao doesn't shy away from killing at all, he has already shot living things with a small bow, and quite a few rabbits died under his hands.
"Who is here?" Lu Bu asked.
"He called himself Xu You, and said he was an old acquaintance of the king."
Lu Bu nodded. He had already expected Xu You to come. After all, Yuan Shao's men dealt with him the most was Xu You, and it was only natural that Shao sent Xu You to come.
"Bring it in.
"Aon..." 0.9
"Don't worry, your elder sister won't marry and go to Hebei." Lu Bu laughed and said, "She praises you every day, don't you wish Lingqi could stay away from you?"
"That's different, her beating doesn't hurt, it's like scratching an itch." Satisfied, Lu Shao said again: "But if I get married, then I won't be able to see my sister in the future."
Little Lu Shao is still very clingy to Lu Lingqi, after all, he is a compatriot of the same mother and a military doctor of flesh and blood.
"Continue to practice weapons." Lu Bu brought a small Fangtian painted halberd, which was tailor-made for Lu Shao.
"Prick, chop, cut, smash, sweep, pick, point, and pull, each one hundred times, go play after practice."
"Follow orders." Lu Shao obediently took Xiao Fangtian's painting halberd, and began to practice it carefully.
Lu Bu went back to the main hall, intending to meet Xu You.
But before Lu Bu reached the main hall, the palace servant came to report again, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Cao Cao is here.
Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled, "Interesting."
"Come here, put a cauldron in front of the main hall, and boil the water." Lu Bu came down and ordered, planning to come to a classic bridge. .
