The Three Kingdoms: The filial son of the Cao family, please ask the father to ascend the throne

Chapter 57 Can You Save It?
The news of Cao Cao and Cao Ang's capture quickly spread throughout Yanzhou.

Zhang Miao even took the opportunity to publicly announce that he would elect Lu Bu to be the shepherd of Yanzhou!

All the counties and counties in Yanzhou responded one after another under the control of the aristocratic family, and there were very few cities that still supported the Cao family.

In Yanzhou County Mansion, Cheng Yu hurried in with a letter.

"Wen Ruo, it's too bad, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao joined forces to surround Puyang!"

Xun Yu raised his head from the chopping board and said calmly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Ziyou has made arrangements. This situation has been expected a long time ago, and Mr. Dian Wei sent a letter to Puyang."

"What? Master Ziyou even guessed that the lord was arrested?"

Even though Cheng Yu had heard about Cao Ziyou's plans, he still found it a bit inconceivable when he heard Xun Yu say that.

If Cao Ziyou infers that Zhang Miao will betray Cao Cao through various behaviors, then he can be regarded as the second son who is more wise than evil.

But if Cao Ziyou had directly judged that Cao Cao would be captured by Lu Bu more than ten days ago, then he would not be a human, but a demon.

Cheng Yu was born as a counselor, and even he was not at this level, yet Cao Ziyou had already made arrangements in advance.

For a moment, Cheng Yu's admiration for Cao Ziyou was like a torrent of water, endless.

Another example is the flooding of the Yellow River, which is out of control.

If Cao Ziyou were here, Cheng Yu would throw himself to the ground and beg Cao Ziyou to accept him as his disciple!
Xun Yu cast a helpless glance at Cheng Yu who was lost in reverie.

"Zhongde, what I mean is that Mr. Ziyou has already considered Lu Bu's entry into Yanzhou and the betrayal of the lord by the counties and counties. As for the capture of the lord, I have sent people to hurry up and send information to the Xuzhou battlefield. Please, Ziyou The son decides."

Only then did Cheng Yu heave a sigh of relief, so it turned out that his job was saved!
"The lord and the eldest son were captured, so it should be Ziyou who leads Yanzhou. Then let's wait for Ziyou's reply with peace of mind!"

Not only Cheng Yu thought so, but all the officials in Yanzhou who were loyal to the Cao family thought so too.

The lord is gone, and the eldest son is gone, so the second son has to step up!
In addition to Yanzhou, Yuan Shao in Jizhou is also paying attention to the situation in Yanzhou.

When Cao Ziyou declared war on Xuzhou, it was in the name of avenging his grandfather.

Moreover, there were all the witnesses and material evidence, Yuan Shao who wanted to persuade him to make peace could not persuade him at all.

Yanzhou already has a lot of soldiers and horses, if Cao Ziyou is allowed to take down Xuzhou, the threat to Jizhou will be even greater.

So Yuan Shao mobilized soldiers and horses, wanting Gao Lan to pretend to be the Xuzhou Army to help Tao Qian resist Cao Ziyou.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the men and horses were in place, Lu Bu entered Yanzhou, and Cao Cao was arrested by mistake.

Now Yuan Shao didn't dare to act rashly, and waited for Cao Ziyou's attitude with the rest of Yanzhou officials.

If Cao Ziyou returns to aid Yanzhou, Yuan Shao intends to help him resist Xuzhou's pressure.

Yes, Jizhou's military policy changes according to the opponent's strength!

Whoever is at a disadvantage, Yuan Shao will help them!

It even said that if Lu Bu couldn't beat Cao Ziyou, he would be defeated by the Yanzhou Army in a crushing manner.

Then Yuan Shao will also send troops to help Lu Bu.

In a word, consume the strength of the surrounding princes as much as possible.

Yuan Shao wished that Cao Cao and Lu Bu would perish together, and he would occupy Yanzhou directly!

So what is Cao Ziyou's attitude towards Yanzhou?
"Mr. Ziyou, the lord and the eldest son were arrested by Lu Bu. Master Xun Yu asked Mr. Ziyou to give the next step!"

Looking at the letter in his hand and listening to the messenger's request in his ear, Cao Ziyou did not answer.

Instead, he asked Guo Jia:

"Feng Xiao, what do you think I should do? Should I lead Feng Xiao to beat Feng Xian, or take Xuzhou?"

Guo Jia said without hesitation:
"When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty guarded Kanto and Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi, they first consolidated the base to control the world. In this way, they can win by advancing and defend by retreating. Therefore, despite the difficulties and twists and turns, they can finally complete the great cause.

Originally, the young master relied on Yanzhou to start an incident to quell the disaster in Shandong, and the people were all convinced.What's more, Yanzhou crosses the Yellow River and Jishui. It is an important point in the world. Although it is dilapidated, it can still protect itself. This place is your Guanzhong and Hanoi, my son. You have to stabilize it first.

If you abandon Lu Bu and attack Xuzhou from the east, if you leave too many soldiers to attack the city, you will not be able to attack the city, and if you leave too few soldiers, you will conscript the people.Lu Bu took the opportunity to harass and plunder, and the people's hearts would be even more fearful.If Xuzhou cannot be attacked, where will the young master live? "

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, including Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, who also agreed with Guo Jia's words.

After all, Yanzhou is their base.

Xuzhou can attack again next time, but Yanzhou cannot be lost!
Cao Ziyou nodded, and said to the messenger:

"Go back and tell Xun Yu to concentrate his forces and defend the existing counties."

The messenger's eyes lit up, and he said expectantly:

"Then wait until Mr. Ziyou returns to Yanzhou?"

Cao Ziyou smiled slightly.

"Who said I'm going back to Yanzhou? Continue to fight Xuzhou!"

messenger:? ? ?
Guo Jia:? ? ?
Dian Wei and others:? ? ?
Your son is brave!

I don't even want my father anymore!

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Cao Ziyou explained:

"If Lao Cao and my eldest brother were not captured by Lu Bu, it would be correct for us to return to Yanzhou. But the situation is different now, and we are very restricted in attacking Lu Bu. On the battlefield, if Lu Bu uses Lao Cao to threaten us to lay down our weapons and surrender, Do you think I refuse or refuse?"

Guo Jia said anxiously:

"But if we don't come back to aid Yanzhou, Wen Ruo and the others won't last long!"

"Don't worry, Lu Bu claims to be the number one military general in the world, and his Bingzhou wolf cavalry is even more elite, and now he has the support of Chen Gong and a large number of Yanzhou gentry. Compared to me, Yuan Shao is more worried about the safety of Jizhou!

If we continue to attack Xuzhou, then Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to Yanzhou.Lao Cao and Yuan Shao are just superficial brothers, and Lu Bu will not use him to threaten Yuan Shao.

In this way, the lives of Lao Cao and his eldest brother will be saved, and Lu Bu will be driven away by Yuan Shao. "

"After Lu Bu is driven away, Yanzhou will also become Yuan Shao's territory!"

"So, I told Uncle Wen Ruo and the others to hold on to the city. When Yuan Shao is almost recovered, we will cooperate with Uncle Wen Ruo to take Yanzhou again! And by that time, we still own Xuzhou. If we reveal that Xuzhou will The meaning of giving it to Yuan Shao, I believe Yuan Shao will be very happy to return Yanzhou to us."

Of course, with Cao Ziyou's thick skin, talking about sending off Xuzhou is just Tu Yile.

Apart from defrauding a big guy like Yuan Shao, it has no value at all.

During the discussion between Cao Ziyou and Guo Jia, Dian Wei and the others were already stunned.

For a while, I felt that it was reasonable to return to Yanzhou, and for a while, I felt that it was the best policy to continue attacking Xuzhou.

In the end, everyone gave up directly.

Anyway, it's not their father, so it's up to Cao Ziyou to save him or not.

Cao Ziyou said to save his father, so he would.

If Cao Ziyou says he can't help, then he won't!
