Fengji's plan is very sinister.
Use Gongsun Zan's help to suppress Han Fu.
Taking advantage of General White Horse's eagerness to acquire Jizhou, he turned it into a card in his hand, and then forced Han Fu, who was the weakest in this muddy water.
If the plan succeeds.
Yuan Shao was able to capture the entire Jizhou without a single blow.
Gongsun Zan, who was used as his spearman, not only worked hard and mobilized the army to go south, but in the end he gained nothing and instead made wedding clothes for others.
It disgusts the opponent and helps oneself.
How can this plan not be a bad idea?
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
He couldn't help stroking his hands and laughing.
"As expected of Yuan Tu, he really has a beautiful heart and a good plan. If this plan is feasible, Jizhou can be conquered!"
"Not only did I win Jizhou, but Gongsun Bogui's plan also failed. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone!"
Fengji stroked his beard a little proudly.
Obviously, he was quite satisfied with the strategy he presented and believed that it had great potential.
It was just that after Yuan Shao was excited for a while.
But it suddenly occurred to me that something was wrong.
He pointed to the north, and then said with a little worry.
"If the matter is accomplished, Jizhou will be in my hands, but Gongsun Zan will surely become angry after being teased by me. How can he break up with me?"
"With the reputation of Gongsun Bogui's Youzhou cavalry, if he is determined to fight with me, with the strength of the troops in my hands, even if I can win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory!"
This is a very real problem.
So that Fengji found it difficult to answer for a while.
And see this situation.
Xu You, who had been silent all this time, smiled secretly.
He is a rather arrogant person.
Therefore, he had been silent before and could not come up with any better strategy than Feng Yuan Tu, which made him quite uncomfortable.
Now I finally found an opportunity.
How can we let the person named Feng be more beautiful than before?
…
He dusted off his clothes.
Then take the same step forward.
He cupped his hands and fists towards Yuan Shao and saluted.
"Master Fu, I have a way to resist Gongsun Zan's elite Youzhou cavalry."
Yuan Shao suddenly became interested.
There was a glint in his eyes.
He couldn't help but sit upright and asked urgently: "What a good plan, Ziyuan, tell me quickly!"
Xu You took two steps forward again.
Come to Yuan Shao's desk.
Pointing to the piece of information on the desk, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Master Fu, since the Cao family in the south is also capable of fighting, and Cao Zixiu is also a famous general in the world, why don't we write a letter to introduce the Cao family to the chessboard of Jizhou?"
"They are both capable of conquering and fighting. Let the Cao family's army fight against the Youzhou cavalry in the north. Let them fight with each other, and we will reap the benefits."
"Isn't that wonderful?"
The words fell.
Yuan Shao did not show a very excited reaction.
On the contrary, I was slightly confused.
His brows furrowed slightly.
He asked with confusion: "The Cao family is staying well in Yanzhou. There is no need to go north to Jizhou to deal with such a powerful enemy as the Gongsun family, right?"
"What's more, Cao Mengde is not a stupid person. If I acted like this, how could he not see that I was killing someone with a borrowed knife, and how could he be willing to be used by me?"
Yuan Shao thought this was a stupid move.
It's a bit like treating Cao Cao as a fool.
At present, the Cao family is still the same as himself, only owning one county and not even controlling Yanzhou.
How could he lead his elite troops northward to attack Gongsun Zan because of his own invitation?
Unless Cao Cao gets kicked in the head by a donkey.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.
…
Xu You can come up with such a plan.
It shows that he is not just talking casually.
Therefore, after Yuan Shao retorted, Xu You immediately explained: "If it is empty talk, Cao Mengde will naturally not lead his troops northward, but what if it is profitable?"
"After the Lord of the Prefecture captured Jizhou and became the shepherd of Jizhou, our army has such a vast land, and also has a large amount of grain, grass and money. How can these things be left to rot in the treasury?"
"We can definitely offer Cao Mengde a huge profit and promise to give him a lot of food, grass and money, if he can help our army compete with Gongsun Zan, or even defeat Gongsun Zan."
"Then you can definitely come forward to help him capture Yanzhou. With such huge benefits in front of him, how can Cao Mengde not be tempted?"
Yuan Shao fell silent.
He began to seriously think about the feasibility of Xu You's words and weigh the pros and cons.
First of all, one thing should be clear.
That is, if he and Cao Cao can join forces to defeat Gongsun Zan and eliminate this huge scourge in the north of Jizhou, then it will be worthwhile no matter how you think about it.
No matter how much food and money you pay, it will all be earned.
Even helping Cao Cao capture the entire Yanzhou was not very difficult in Yuan Shao's opinion. After all, there was no particularly strong force in Yanzhou.
As long as he can defeat Gongsun Zan.
It's all worth it.
And can the troops introduced by the Cao family play a role in this battle and clear the obstacles for themselves?
Yuan Shao couldn't help but pick up the information on the desk and read it carefully from beginning to end.
I carefully considered some of the specific data described above and the description of the military strategy, and then secretly confirmed it in my heart.
If the power of the Cao family alone were to fight Gongsun Zan, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible.
But if you add Yuan Shao’s help...
The two of them worked together.
Can General White Horse still gallop freely?
It must be difficult!
…
I pondered for a while.
Yuan Shao suddenly stood up.
He walked quickly to Xu You and Feng Ji, raised a finger, and spoke to them quietly.
"It is not impossible to introduce the Cao family's power into Jizhou, but how to ensure that after defeating Gongsun Zan, Cao Mengde will retreat with peace of mind?"
"Another one, owning the entire land of Jizhou is just the first step for me, Yuan Shao. It does not end here. One day, Cao Mengde, who owns the entire land of Yanzhou, will also become my enemy and a stumbling block."
"Asking me to promise huge profits, and even control Yanzhou for him, wouldn't that make me an enemy and set up a stumbling block for myself in the future?"
Yuan Shao has a very long-term vision.
He even regarded Cao Cao as an imaginary enemy in his heart. This was not an ordinary sight.
However, after Xu You heard this.
It was just a laugh.
Completely dismissive.
"Your Majesty's words are serious!"
"How can Yanzhou, which was in ruins due to military disasters, compare to Jizhou, which is vast and rich in resources and is still intact?"
"With Cao Mengde's background, how can he compare to you, the Fourth Third Duke, the legitimate son of the Yuan family?"
"Even if Cao Zixiu has the appearance of a famous general, how can he defeat you with so many powerful generals and countless elite soldiers under your command?"
…
Speaking of which.
Xu You paused for a moment.
Then he waved his hand.
He said extremely boldly: "With these three disadvantages, what do you have to worry about? You can boldly and confidently support Cao Cao and introduce him to Jizhou!"
If Cao Ang were at the scene.
Listen to Xu You's words.
I'm afraid I can't help but stand up and applaud him.
This is too good to say!
Xu Ziyuan is a loyal person at first glance!
Is it one of our own who is doing something wrong?
right!
Just like what I said just now, deceive more and lower our old Cao family as low as possible, and raise his old Yuan family as high as possible.
The more so.
The more it can provide a lot of time for the Cao family to develop steadily and quietly accumulate strength.
Wait until Yuan Shao reacts.
The Cao family has become popular.
Xu You, Xu You.
If you are not hacked to death by Xu Chu in the future, then Cao Ang will have to give you a high official position. After all, you have paid a lot for the foundation of the Cao family.
…
What will happen in the future?
No one knows this.
But at least now Yuan Shao has been persuaded by Xu You, and his last concern has been turned into a fan by Xu You's three inferiorities.
Although Yuan Shao is not as arrogant as Yuan Shu.
But he is also quite proud.
He will not look down on Cao Cao.
But he didn't secretly belittle him to the point of thinking that Cao Cao would be more powerful than him.
So Xu You said this.
He immediately felt convinced.
He immediately made up his mind to hand over Xu You and Feng Ji at the same time, and spoke solemnly.
"Then follow this plan!"
"First lead Gongsun Zan south, and then threaten Han Fu with this incident. After taking over Jizhou, ask Cao Cao to lead his troops north to join Cao Cao and the Communist Party in resisting Gongsun Zan!"
Both of them bowed in return.
"It's just as Fu Jun said!"
A few people discussed the strategy of swallowing up Jizhou, turning against guests, and even killing people with a borrowed knife to divert disaster to the east. It was in this small hall that several people discussed it.
I just don’t know if Yuan Shao’s plan that he thought was flawless can still succeed now that Cao Ang is a variable?
…………
Regarding the many things that happened in Bohai County.
Cao Ang, who was far away on his way back, didn't know.
At this moment, he had left the three counties in the north, leading Zhang Liao, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and other generals, as well as more than 11,000 troops in his headquarters.
besides.
There were also more than 50,000 surrendered troops.
The reason why the number of prisoners increased again was because nearly 10,000 people were also harvested in Yuncheng guarded by Zhang Liao.
Taken together, this can be regarded as packing up most of the large Yellow Turban army coming from the southwest.
Now think back to the situation a few days ago.
And the huge gains during this time.
Cao Ang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
After defeating Zhang Rao's tribe who attacked Linqiu County, Cao Ang led his troops to strictly guard the surrendered prisoners day and night.
In the early morning of the third day.
Xia Houyuan then led his five thousand troops and rushed to Linqiu County. He joined forces with Cao Ang. Cao's army finally reached nearly 10,000 troops.
This way.
After being completely suppressed, the troops had begun to become a little restless.
And after some intimidation.
Cao Ang entrusted many affairs to Xiahou Yuan, and he took thousands of troops to support Zhang Liao in Yuncheng.
After all, according to what the surrendered general He Luo said, when passing through Yuncheng, most of the Yellow Turban Army also detached a force of more than 10,000 troops to attack.
But Zhang Liao only had 3,000 men.
If Cao Ang did not lead his troops to support him, then Zhang Liao might not know how long it would have been before Zhang Liao resolved the crisis in Yuncheng, which is why he did this.
However, the support process was quite smooth.
At this stage, Zhang Liao's commanding ability has not yet reached its peak, but it has already shown great potential.
Leading 3,000 men, facing an enemy force several times his own, he was able to defend his position in a tight and impressive manner.
If Cao Ang had given him a cavalry team.
He was afraid that he could also take the soldiers out of the city for a stroll.
It is in this case.
Cao Ang used the golden eagle to signal Zhang Liao who had arrived in the city. The two of them cooperated with each other and fought a pincer attack on the remaining Yellow Turban bandits.
It was a natural victory.
Even compared to the battle in Linqiu County, where more than 10,000 people ran away, in this battle, except for those who had died in the siege, almost all the others surrendered.
Wait until several parties meet up.
There is now such a big stall.
…………
At the moment when Cao Ang's thoughts were racing.
Xia Houyuan rode his horse up to him from behind, then cupped his hands towards him and said in a rather worried tone.
"General, is this march too slow? At this speed, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days to reach Dingtao."
Xia Houyuan now admires Cao Ang very much.
Originally, he called Cao Ang directly by his nickname, but now he also changed his name to general in the army.
In fact, in the battle of Linqiu County, Cao Ang fought so beautifully, both in terms of damage and gains, it was enough to make people jaw-dropping.
At least when Xia Houyuan arrived with his troops.
He was startled by the scene at that time.
I thought I was leading the troops to come to the rescue, so I was prepared to fight hard and resolve the crisis in Linqiu County no matter what.
We won’t know until the results come.
He actually asked him to come over and clean up the mess!
My good nephew had already eliminated all the tens of thousands of enemy troops with three strikes. He invited his uncle to come over, just to help look after the prisoners without him using a knife or a gun.
This matter is a bit too outrageous.
It can be said that Xia Houyuan was completely convinced.
In addition, Cao Ang's status is here, so it is natural for him to call him "general", and naturally there is no psychological burden.
…
Xia Houyuan's concerns could be heard in his ears.
Cao Ang sat up straight, sat on his horse, and took a quick look from front to back.
This is a huge team that can't be seen at a glance. It can be said to be vast, but nearly 90% of the people are composed of refugees with yellow faces, skinny muscles, and extremely weak. Therefore, they move at a very slow speed, as if they are just moving. Move forward bit by bit.
With such a slow speed, it is not surprising that Yuan Shao, who was far away in Bohai County, received the battle report of Cao Ang's victory over the Yellow Turban bandits, but he himself failed to reach home.
And the reason why the marching speed is so slow.
In addition to the large number of troops and the extreme lack of discipline, Cao's army needed to manage a large number of prisoners with very few manpower.
The most important thing is that the surrender of troops is too weak.
Plus a lack of energy.
The state of body and mind was poor.
Itself is transformed from a refugee.
In addition, Cao Ang also implemented a food rationing system along the way. It can only be said that it is impossible for these people to starve to death if they want to be full.
Therefore, everyone is weak.
Naturally, the movements are not much faster.
certainly.
even so.
Cao Ang will never let them eat enough.
This does not mean saving food, but this weak and weak state is best managed. If everyone is full, can they still be tied up?
So after looking back for a while.
Cao Ang just nodded to Xia Houyuan.
"What my uncle said is true, but there are many alternatives at the moment. It doesn't matter if we go slower. As long as it ensures that we can reach our destination safely and smoothly, even if we go slower, it is acceptable."
Such truth.
How could Xia Houyuan not know?
What he was actually worried about was another point.
…
"General, our army is running low on food and grass right now. Even though we requisitioned a lot of food before leaving, it still can't withstand the needs of tens of thousands of people."
"If we continue to spend more than ten days, I am afraid that before we reach Dingtao County, our army's food and grass will have been exhausted, and there will be a big chaos by then!"
Xia Houyuan's words.
Cao Ang couldn't help but frown slightly.
This is indeed a big trouble.
The supply consumption of tens of thousands of people is indeed terrifying. Generally, such a large army will have a special supply team when it goes out to fight.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat and consume it at all.
Although Cao Ang has reduced most of the daily needs of the soldiers, no matter how much they reduce it, at least the rations to keep them alive cannot be reduced.
Therefore, the daily consumption of food and grass.
It's still a huge number.
What they brought with them was probably not enough to support their return to Dingtao.
But after thinking about it.
Cao Ang still calmly ordered: "The march speed cannot be increased, and the rations cannot be reduced. Check if there are any villages and cities along the way, spend some money, or recruit them locally, and then supply them in the future." That’s it.”
"In addition, I sent someone to deliver a battle report to my father before, which clearly stated that there were tens of thousands of prisoners."
"If the prediction is correct, if we walk forward for two or three days, we should be able to run into Uncle Yuan Rang who is carrying grain."
As soon as this statement came out.
Xia Houyuan was finally relieved.
After cupping his hands and clasping his fists, he rode back to his original position.
