Just as the imperial army was confronting the Xianbei army in Fan Yang, Yuan Fang had been ordered by his lord Yuan Shao to go back to inquire about news about Yecheng, asking him to report in person as soon as he had any important news. Now that I have the latest situation in Yecheng, I quickly came over to report!
It is self-evident why Yuan Shao attaches great importance to Yecheng. Not only because it is its base camp and the most important part of its territory, it is also the location of Yuan Shao's family and the families of the court ministers. You can imagine the status, and if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous, so there is no reason why Yuan Shao doesn't take it seriously!あQiqi Novel觧ヤ~7~1~7~(ωωω).qq7(1) <First release, domain name, please remember that Qiqi is the first release on the entire network
On the premise of taking it seriously, Yuan Shao was also very worried about the situation in Yecheng. You must know that although he left important ministers and good generals in Yecheng, plus an army of 400,000. But even so, I still don't feel at ease. You must know that this time Xun Yu and his opponents are the traitor Cao Cao!
As for Cao Cao's wisdom and martial arts, I won't go into details here. Anyone who likes the history of the Three Kingdoms will know it. Comparing the civil servants and generals under Cao Cao, they are basically the same as those left behind in Jizhou. In terms of intelligence, they are a bit more than the Yecheng advisers!
Moreover, Cao Cao's 300,000-strong army all came from Qingzhou, and they were all ruthless and aggressive characters. And the 400,000 troops in Yecheng are just useless, and many of them are not worthy of use!
And they still have to stay at Yecheng, the base camp, so it’s definitely impossible to dispatch all of them. There are still some royalist forces in Ye City, and they will definitely not stop at this juncture. Therefore, while Xun Yu and others were dealing with Cao Cao's army, they also had to face the obstruction and chaos caused by Emperor Xian and others. Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was naturally worried about the situation in Yecheng!
On this day, Yuan Shao happened to be discussing with his counselors a good strategy to defeat the enemy. Needless to say, all the generals were sent to guard Fan Yang to prevent the Xianbei army, especially the Tanshihuai dog from jumping over the wall!
While they were discussing, they saw Yuan Fang coming from outside, looking a bit dusty. Along the way, without any obstruction, he came to Yuan Shao and knelt down to report.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Fang, pays homage to your lord. This is an urgent report from Yecheng. Please read it, lord!" After saying that, he took out the letter he kept next to him and presented it to Yuan Shao for his reading!
"Oh, general, get up quickly and take out the urgent report. You should take a good look at it!" When he heard that it was the urgent report from Yecheng, Yuan Shao was a little worried and quickly asked Yuan Fang to get up to speak and hand over the letter. !
After hearing his lord's instructions, Yuan Fang did not dare to neglect, and immediately handed the letter he brought to Yuan Shao, asking him to read it carefully!
Yuan Shao couldn't wait to open it and saw that it was handwritten by Mr. Xun Yu and Guo Jia. This made Yuan Shao very nervous, read it carefully!
Xun Yu's calligraphy summary said: "Accepting your order, my lord is now fighting a decisive battle with Xianbei and Liaodong. Xun Yan, the third brother of Cao Cao's minister, has come to surrender. Everyone gathered in Guandu to decide the outcome with Ming Gong. If you are weak, you should be strong. If you can't The control must be taken advantage of: this is the great opportunity of the world. Although Cao's army is large, it is unpopular. How can the public's power and wisdom fail? In today's crisis in the four continents, although the army is small, it is not as good as that of Chu and Han in Xingyang , between Chenggao. I discussed with Fengxiao, Ji Gui, and Kong Zhang to guard the painting area and choke Cao Cao so that he could not advance. After the public defeat of Xianbei, the situation was exhausted and there was bound to be a change. This is a strange time to use. , there is nothing wrong with it. Only the Lord will judge!"
Another handwriting written by Guo Jia said: "In addition to Xun Yan defecting to Cao, there are also changes in the court. Xun Yue Zhongyu, the younger brother of Wen Ruo and You Ruo, joined Fu Wan's family as the mastermind. I have secretly sent people to keep an eye on him and contacted Wen Ruo. , Ji Gui, and Kong Zhang discussed: There are ten defeats for Cao, and ten victories for the public. Although Cao has a strong army, the food and grass cannot be continued. The public has many rituals, and the body is natural. This is the best way. Cao uses counteraction and public worship. Leading the world with obedience, this righteousness wins two things. In the late Han Dynasty, the government failed to be lenient, and the public corrections were fierce, and the top and bottom knew the system. This kind of governance wins three things. There are many characters but doubts, it is easy to be simple externally, but the internal intelligence is clear. There is no doubt that people should be employed only according to their talents, regardless of distance or distance. This strategy is better than the fourth category. Although Cao Cao has many strategies and decisions, he is not popular with the people. Public policies win the hearts of the people and can be adapted to endless changes. This strategy is better than the fifth category. Because Cao Cao had the talent to assassinate Dong, He will bow to others in order to gain reputation, and most of the good words of a scholar will be appreciated by others. He will treat others with sincerity and act with sincerity. He will not be vain and beautiful for the fourth and third generations of the Yuan family. He will lead his subordinates with frugality and will not be stingy with those who have merit. Those who are loyal, upright, far-sighted and practical are willing to use them. This virtue exceeds the six virtues. Cao Cao sees that people are hungry and cold, and his sympathy is reflected in the color. If he does not see it, he may not be able to care about it. The so-called woman's benevolence and ear are obvious to the present. Small things are sometimes overlooked, but as for big things, they are connected with the world, and the kindness they receive is beyond their expectations. Although they are not seen, they are all considered, and they are all helpful. This benevolence is better than seven. The public, civil and military are united, and there is no internal strife. , the emperor follows the Tao, but if it cannot be soaked, this is better than eight. If you do not distinguish between right and wrong, use etiquette to approach what is right, and use the law to treat what is not right, this article is better than nine. If you use it well, it is a false power, and the alliance presses forward, and the public To conquer a large number of people with a small number, to use troops like a god, to be relied upon by soldiers, and to be feared by the enemy, this is a force that is better than ten. If the public has these ten victories, it will be easy to defeat them."
After reading it, Yuan Shao felt a little relieved. Obviously, both Xun Yu and Guo Jia knew that their lord was more worried about the safety of Yecheng, especially the movements of Cao Cao and Emperor Xian. Therefore, the two men's handwriting reported the general situation of Yecheng, focusing on the specific situation of Cao Cao and Emperor Xian!
Xun Yu also reported on the strategy to deal with Cao Cao. Xun Yu suggested to draw the ground and defend it, and guard the dangerous area at Guandu to prevent Cao Cao from advancing. After Yuan Shao defeats Xianbei, he will use his army to cover up the attack and use a clever plan to win a complete victory!
As for Guo Jia's theory of ten victories, it seems to be somewhat similar to the ten victories and ten defeats in history. The only purpose is to reassure the lord and make him full of confidence. As long as we persist, we will definitely be able to defeat the coalition of princes and survive this crisis!
Although Yuan Fang didn't know the specific content of the handwriting, he still knew how to read it and was very happy to see his lord. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he reported everything he knew about the situation in Yecheng to his lord!
Although the situation in Yecheng is generally known, the specific details are still unclear and Yuan Fang needs to continue to add. Especially since he still didn’t know the situation of his family members, which made Yuan Shao a little worried again!
Therefore, Yuan Fang did not interrupt his report and listened to him tell the whole story about the situation in Yecheng. Yuan Shao also fully understands the current situation in Yecheng. It can be summed up in four words: internal and external troubles!
Yes, it is internal and external troubles. This sentence is not an exaggeration. Not only are the royalists making trouble inside, but the wealthy Yizhou families suppressed by Yuan Shao also show signs of being ready to make a move. I just don’t know their specific strategies, but they have taken some action anyway. Externally, Cao Cao's army is pressing down on the border, and he is pressing hard against Jizhou. It seems that he wants to take advantage of the empty situation in Yecheng to capture it, and then have King Qin to protect him. His purpose is self-evident!
On the other hand, Mrs. Liu and the others are relatively safe. Although Mrs. Liu is a little in poor health, with the careful care of Hua Tuo and Zhen Mi, she is expected to be fine. As for his precious son, he is also in good health. This makes Yuan Shao immediately happy, and his previous worries about internal and external troubles are gone!
However, what Yuan Shao didn't know was that things were already being plotted, and an unexpected plot was about to take place. These restless elements finally united together, which not only brought a lot of trouble to Yuan Shao. It also made him experience many bolts from the blue, and he almost died because of it. It can be said that he went through several reincarnations. Of course, these are all things for later, they will appear later!
