Since Han Song was sent here.
Naturally, it cannot be used just for sending letters.
More importantly, he has to act as a lobbyist to ensure that the Cao family will definitely agree to jointly send troops.
Therefore, after hearing Cao Ang's specious rejection, Han Song did not show much emotion. Instead, he shook his head and cupped his hands to Cao Ang.
"Please forgive me for being rude and blunt, but what the general just said is really wrong!"
"To unite our troops, form a north-south force, and attack Yuan Shu together, this is definitely not something that only my family leader will benefit from."
"In fact, I was ordered to come here with the clear purpose of visiting Meng Degong and General Cao, instead of choosing others. It is precisely because the one who will benefit the most from driving Yuan Shu out of Nanyang is my family master and the Cao family. Yanzhou!"
Han Song's voice was clear and clear.
Really loud.
Set a tone for the next words.
After clarifying his position and attitude, he paused for a few breaths, seemingly sorting out his words.
Then he continued his analysis in a calm voice: "Although Yuan Shu is currently staying in Luyang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County, Yuan Jiujiu is also thinking deeply about going south to attack Nanyang County."
"But this does not mean that his goal is only Nanyang, nor does it mean that his eyes are only focused on Nanyang or even Jingzhou."
"In fact, in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, as long as there is an opportunity, Yuan Shu will definitely be willing to intervene. This time he led his troops north to attack Chenliu and other counties, which is an obvious example on the case. "
…
What Han Song said is actually quite reasonable.
But even so.
Cao Ang did not relax his tone at all.
But when Cao Cao remained silent, he smiled and gestured with his hands.
"Having said that, this time Yuan Shu led his troops to the north, but was attacked head-on by my father. He returned with a heavy defeat and fled in panic."
"Such a painful lesson, I believe that even if Yuan Shu wants to attack Yanzhou in the future, he must think carefully beforehand, and he may not even dare to attack again."
"Comparing the two, I feel that Yanzhou has entered a stable period and is not as dangerous as Degao said."
Can achieve the position of Jingzhou Biejia.
Han Song obviously didn't come through connections alone.
Facing Cao Ang's rebuttal, Han Song just smiled lightly and then explained eloquently.
"If everyone remembers the lesson, then our Han Dynasty should have peace in the world, and there won't be so many capricious wars and wars in the world."
"Meng Degong used his troops like a god and defeated Yuan Shu with a small number of enemies and a large number. This is naturally true. But if I were Yuan Gongdao, I would never be afraid. Instead, I would only hold a grudge and hope to repay him twice as much in the future."
"As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. If Yanzhou has temporary peace, it will naturally be worry-free. But if you think of long-term peace, how can you be short-sighted and content yourself?"
…
Han Song's eloquence is not limited either.
In fact, everyone knows what he said.
It's just that the Cao family and his son are not letting go at the moment, they just want to take control of this matter and gain more benefits.
After all, even if the North and the South jointly send troops.
Which method to use and which part of the enemy to deal with are all very particular things.
Therefore, he faced Han Song's impassioned speech.
Cao Ang still raised his hand extremely calmly.
"De Gao, please continue!"
"call!"
Han Song breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not afraid of speaking, but he is afraid of not having to say anything.
After bowing to both of them.
Han Song continued to refute what Cao Ang had said point by point, pointing out two fingers one by one.
"Driving Yuan Shu out of Nanyang will not only preserve the stability of Yanzhou, but also cut off the connection between Yuan Highway and the counties in Yuzhou."
"As long as these connections are cut off, the Cao family can send their troops south and take Yuzhou into their hands. This is another huge benefit."
"As for Yuan Shu's troops being well-prepared, haha, please forgive me for saying this bluntly. He only has soldiers and food, but he can't fight. This really can't be called powerful. With the bravery of father and son, they can be put down in the command room!"
…
Han Song not only guessed the Cao family's Yuzhou strategy.
He continued to belittle Yuan Shu, and at the same time praised Cao Cao and his son. It is self-evident what his intentions were.
for such rhetoric.
Cao Ang just adjusted his sitting posture slightly.
Then he narrowed his eyes and said with a slightly mocking smile.
"First of all, I want to correct one thing. Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of the imperial court. It does not belong to any one person. At most, our Cao family will only help to eliminate bandits in Yuzhou and manage the government affairs of Yuzhou on our behalf. We will never openly seize the power of a state."
Cao Ang first put a layer of armor on himself.
Han Song cursed in his heart after hearing this.
What age is this? Who are you pretending to show?
But he didn't wait for his response.
Cao Ang already continued: "If Yuan Shu is really as vulnerable as De Gao said, then why do you want to go to Puyang County this time?"
"Liu Jingzhou has great talent and strategy. With his own strength, he must be able to defeat Yuan Gongdao, who seems to be well-prepared, but is actually weak in it, right?"
Han Song was speechless for a moment.
No matter how eloquent he is, it is difficult to refute such words.
What is Yuan Shu's strength?
Before the actual fight, it's all unknown.
Even if the Cao family defeated Yuan Shu this time, this does not prove that Yuan Shu is rubbish. After all, victory or defeat on the battlefield is determined by many factors.
Not to mention that Liu Biao didn't dare to be careless. Even if Cao Cao was allowed to lead the army and fight Yuan Shu again, he would never dare to pat his chest and say that he was lying down with his eyes closed.
The fourth generation and the third Duke, the legitimate son of a high family.
The army is strong and the food and grass are abundant.
The most important thing is that Sun Jian's troops did not participate in the war.
No one dares to look down on Yuan Shu until he has tortured him with his own hands.
…
Han Song racked his brains and thought for a while.
He opened his mouth, wanting to make amends for what he had just said.
But Cao Ang didn't give him such a chance.
Instead, he lightly tapped the desk in front of him with his fingers, and then said meaningfully.
"Whether Yuan Shu is strong or not, let's not mention this matter for now. Compared to this, I would like to ask De Gao, do you really think Yuan Shu is a fool?"
Han Song was stunned for a moment.
He blinked slightly in confusion.
"I wonder what the general means?"
The corners of Cao Ang's mouth raised slightly, forming a smile.
"If you were Yuan Shu, faced with an attack from the north and the south, and knowing that you were unable to stop him, would you choose to fight to the end, or would you choose to reconcile with one side and then concentrate your forces to attack the other side?"
The words just fell.
Han Song's expression suddenly changed.
"Buzz!" He raised his head with a cry, eyes wide open, staring at Cao Ang closely.
Soon, sweat began to appear on his forehead.
He had indeed ignored this layer before.
He only thinks about his master and the Cao family. Both parties have grudges against Yuan Shu and should not be able to reconcile easily.
But think about it now.
But there was some negligence.
There are no eternal enemies in this world, nor are there any everlasting alliances.
The so-called grudge is nothing more than a higher price to pay for reconciliation.
As long as there is no sworn hatred, it can be solved with interests. As for Yuan Shu, although there are rumors that he is arrogant and arrogant.
But when you are in a dangerous situation, you will not be so arrogant that you will be brainless, right?
And once Yuan Shu chooses to reconcile with one party and deal with the other party, there is no need to think about it. Yuan Gongli will definitely choose to take action against Liu Biao.
Thus……
Think of this.
Beads of sweat were quietly dripping from Han Song's forehead.
…
After a long time.
Han Song just bowed slightly to Cao Ang.
Then he said in a dry voice: "Everyone in the world has heard that General Cao is a brilliant man among men. He is a rare talent that our Han Dynasty has rarely seen in hundreds of years."
"In the past, I would not comment on this, but now and now, I know that the rumors are true, and I am truly convinced."
"General, please tell me directly, under what conditions can Yanzhou send troops to cooperate with Jingzhou to attack Yuan Shu and drive him out of Nanyang County."
Han Song was convinced.
His previous arguments, presenting facts and reasoning were actually just to gain the initiative.
But the trump card that Cao Ang had brought out now was so powerful that Han Song couldn't afford to gamble.
Therefore, the only option is to give in.
And after hearing this.
Cao Ang did not respond. He just turned to look at his father, Cao Cao, and raised his lips with a slight smile. At this time, it was time for the veteran to take action.
…
After Cao Cao received his son's signal.
Respond immediately with a smile.
Then he said to Han Song: "We in Yanzhou actually don't have any requirements, but the first thing is that once the war starts, we hope that you can take over the enemy general Sun Jian and let us deal with Yuan Shu's headquarters."
The corners of Han Song's mouth twitched slightly.
Sure enough, you are afraid of whatever comes!
He guessed that Cao Cao would probably make a fuss about Sun Jian's ministry, but the result was as expected.
Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.
Like Gongsun Zan in the north, this man is a fierce man who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is good at fighting.
Not to mention far away.
Just saying that when the princes alliance attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian led the vanguard troops and continuously defeated Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, this can already prove the problem.
Defeat Sun Jian and defeat Yuan Shu.
This is not a difficulty at all!
Even though Yuan Shu only occupied a small area, he was still able to exert tremendous pressure on the entire Jingzhou because of Sun Jian's assistance.
Faced with this situation, it is almost certain to lose troops and generals.
Han Song wanted to refuse.
But now the initiative has been lost.
If they don't agree, then this joint troop dispatch operation is likely to collapse because of this.
There is really no need to sacrifice a small amount for a big loss.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Han Song bowed to Cao Cao and said: "I will truthfully report to my master Meng Degong's intention. Although I can't give a clear response now, I think the master will not refuse."
…
This is actually a promise.
After all, when Liu Biao sent Han Song here, how could he not explain a basic psychological bottom line and give him a certain degree of autonomy.
Han Song can definitely make up his mind on this matter.
At the moment it's just caution and tact.
After the first condition has been responded to.
Cao Cao's attitude became a little better, and the smile on Cao Ang's face became much stronger.
By throwing the burden on your teammates, wouldn't you be able to reduce your burden and even reduce your losses?
This is naturally something to be happy about.
After finalizing this point, Cao Cao said casually: "Everything that you and I gained during the siege of Yuan Shu will belong to each other, including prisoners, food, grass, and money."
This time Han Song nodded very happily.
Although Luyang County is the territory of Nanyang County, logically speaking, everything gained in the city should belong to Jingzhou.
But at this time, there is no need to keep arguing over this little thing.
"What Meng Degong said is a big compliment, even if the coalition forces send troops, they should be clearly distinguished."
…
The ensuing discussion lasted for less than half an hour.
Finally, many details were finalized.
Although the two parties did not formulate a written covenant, neither Liu Biao nor Cao Cao would choose to violate it unless there was a huge benefit.
After all, Yuan Shu was driven away.
This is indeed a win-win situation.
Before saying goodbye.
Han Song cupped his hands to the Cao family and his son who stood up to see them off, and then said solemnly.
"Meng Degong, General Zixiu, Yuan Jiujiu has just experienced a major defeat. It is a time when the morale of the army is low and the troops are scattered."
"The sooner we send troops to him, the greater our chances of winning. Anyway, when he settles down, it will be a long and hard battle."
"So I ask you both to act as soon as possible. We in Jingzhou can send troops to respond at any time."
Obviously, Liu Biao was impatient with Yuan Shu's presence and had already prepared his troops for a big battle.
And after hearing this.
Cao Cao smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, De Gao. I already understand this matter. However, before we can officially attack Yuan Shu, our army still needs to eliminate banditry in Chen, Liang and other places."
"The time will be roughly set in a month. Please wait for news from our army!"
Han Song understands.
The Cao family planned to take over several other counties in Yuzhou before taking action against Yuan Shu.
There's not much to say about this.
So he bowed and handed over again.
He quickly left the county government office.
…………
After Han Song leaves.
The father and son closed the door.
Then they got together and discussed in detail.
"Zixiu, time is a little tight. In one month, we have to take over all the counties in Yuzhou except Yingchuan County and Runan County. I'm afraid we have to start preparations from now on."
There are six counties in Yuzhou.
This means that the Cao family needs to settle four vassal states within a month.
Time is indeed tight.
However, after Cao Ang glanced at the map, he drew a cross on the positions of Chen State and Lu State.
"Chen State only lacks a name now. As for the Lu State, they are in the hinterland of Yanzhou and cannot afford to make any splash. Those who know better should choose to surrender the county and the country on the day our documents arrive."
"As for the Liang State, it is small and weak, and it is close to both Yanzhou and Chen State. Once His Highness King Chen surrenders, the Liang State will be nothing more than a caged bird, and it will not take much time to control it."
"Only Pei State is too long from north to south, and the land is vast. If you want to bypass Runan County and hold the entire territory of Pei State in your hands, it may not be possible in a short time."
After a comprehensive analysis.
Cao Ang pointed at the location of Qiao County in Pei State with his hand.
"So Ha'er suggested that we might as well take a two-step approach. Taking Qiao County as the benchmark, we should capture all the territory to the north first, and then wait until Yuan Shu is defeated and the overall situation is stabilized to capture the southern part."
…
Qiao County is the hometown of the Cao family.
Cao Cao couldn't be more familiar with this.
So as soon as Cao Ang said it, he reacted.
After thinking about it for a while.
He nodded decisively immediately.
"I'll do as you say. I'll give the order later and tell the army to prepare to assemble."
"But now that you are getting married, it is not a good time to send troops. Your uncle Xiahou and the others will more or less have to attend and have a wedding drink before leaving."
"But before that, I can get your name as the governor of Yuzhou out. Once your name spreads, things will be easier to handle."
Cao Ang nodded slightly.
I noticed the information in Cao Cao's words just now.
"Father, you said that the marriage is imminent. Could it be that mother is about to arrive in Puyang County?"
"Yes, I received a report early this morning. We will probably arrive in the next two days."
"Perhaps I have always been thinking about your marriage, so when I heard the news suddenly, it came a little faster."
