Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 325 Four roads go hand in hand, Yuan Shao decides to march south

Chunyu Qiong of Liyang Camp was originally stationed temporarily after Cao Cao withdrew from Wei Commandery.

Chunyuqiong and Cao Cao were also old acquaintances. After Cao Cao and Yuan Shao negotiated peace, Chunyuqiong was hardly on guard in Liyang Daying, drinking and having fun every day.

Normally speaking, how could someone come to attack the Li Yang Camp just after the peace talks?

However, Chun Yuqiong never expected that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would make peace, but what does this have to do with Liu Bei?

When Guan Yu raided the Li Yang camp, Chun Yuqiong was in a daze.

The entire Liyang Camp, an important military area defended by 2 people, was defeated by Guan Yu's 5000 people.

When the disgraced Chunyu Qiong returned to Yecheng and told Yuan Shao that the Liyang camp had been captured by Guan Yu, Yuan Shao thought Chunyu Qiong was talking in his sleep.

Occupying a favorable location, the Liyang camp with [-] soldiers and horses stationed there was easily captured by Guan Yu?

When he heard Chunyu Qiong say that he had drunk some wine, Yuan Shao was so angry that he was about to kill Chunyuqiong on the spot.

Can you lose the big camp after drinking a little wine?

That's called drinking?
It must have been after drinking too much, getting drunk, and being caught off guard by Guan Yu, which caused the soldiers to know their generals and their soldiers, and the [-] soldiers of the Liyang Camp were in a mess.

"This Liu Bei, what is he thinking?"

Yuan Shao couldn't understand it.

First, he fought with Yan Liang in Chengping and beheaded Yan Liang; after Cao Cao retreated, he seized Chenliu and intercepted Cao Cao in Dongjun, as if he wanted to question Cao Cao.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui captured Xudu, he released Cao Cao back to Xudu, and then unexpectedly attacked Liyang Camp when no one expected it.

This floating tactical goal made Yuan Shao unable to guess Liu Bei's real purpose.

What Yuan Shao also couldn't understand was that Ma Teng and Han Sui wanted to continue to attack Xudu knowing that the peace was negotiated, which was tantamount to tearing up the peace in an instant.

Thinking of the interrogator's letter pleading for Fengji, Yuan Shao hated Fengji even more.

"It must be Feng Ji who incited Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Xu Du."

"Don't attack early, don't attack late, but attack after the general negotiates peace with Meng De. Isn't this intentionally making Meng De and the general hostile?"

"A good strategy of differentiation, because of Feng Ji, Meng De was forced to join forces with Liu Bei again."

"Corrupt Confucianism will be a big deal!"

Yuan Shao is very irritable now.

Once Yuan Shao became irritable, he didn't want to play tricks.

"Ziyuan, I don't want to wait any longer!"

"Since Xudu has been captured by Ma Teng and Han Sui, the general decided to recruit the troops from the You, Ji, Bing, Wuhuan and Xiongnu tribes, and go directly south to fight Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

"Send people to Xudu again, let Ma Tenghan kill Liu Xie."

"Once Liu Xie dies, those Nanzhou gentry who supported Liu Xie will inevitably be confused and panic."

"As long as the general wins Cao Cao and Liu Bei, these people will have to succumb to the prestige of the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third master."

"The world is just around the corner!"

Anyway, Xu Du has already been taken down, so why admit that Liu Xie is orthodox?

Yuan Shao is going to pull out the dead man Liu Kai, King of Hejian again, as a banner.

As for the previous call?
Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and then it is enough to say that Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, is cheating to death.

Originally, the counties in the three prefectures were puzzled by Yuan Shao's admission that Liu Xie was orthodox, but when they learned that he had seized Xudu by fraudulent death, the counties in the three prefectures would only applaud.

Xu You did not refute.

The premise of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is that Cao Cao and Liu Bei can fight.

However, because Fengji incited Ma Teng and Han Sui to seize Xudu without authorization, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao completely stood on opposite sides.

Liu Bei is so treacherous!

As soon as Xu Du was captured, he immediately let Chen Liu let Cao Cao go to fight Xu Du. In order to show his support for Cao Cao's recapture of Xu Du, he also sent Guan Yu to fight Li Yang.

This is like:

Cao Cao and Liu Bei were having a good time at first, but Yuan Shao ran over to Cao Cao and said, "Play with me, Liu Bei is a bad guy", then Cao Cao abandoned Liu Bei to play with Yuan Shao, but he was backstabbed by Yuan Shao as soon as he abandoned Liu Bei. , Liu Bei came back again and beat Yuan Shao to vent his anger for Cao Cao.

Liu Bei is a good man who has done it to the end!

It was impossible for Yuan Shao to pretend to be a good man in front of Cao Cao.

For the current plan, we can't let Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight each other, we can only start the decisive battle in advance to avoid protracted time, and let Cao Cao and Liu Bei have stronger control over the southern states.

If the battle is delayed, Ma Teng Han Sui Fengji of Xudu will also become a lone army.

If this lone army is defeated, Liu Xie's prestige will increase again, and Cao Cao will be jealous of Yuan Shao's backstab again, and his mentality of fighting against the enemy will become stronger.

Yuan Shao's pressure will be even greater in a decisive battle at that time.

"If Duke Ming wants to fight decisively, he can divide his troops into four groups."

"All the way from Gaogan to join the Huns Tuqi, go to Hanoi and enter Yingchuan, and reinforce Ma Teng and Han Sui."

"All the way, Yuan Xi joins the Wuhuan cavalry, crosses the Bohai Sea, enters Qingzhou, and attacks Liu Bei's Linzi city."

"One way, Yuan Shang joined forces with Pingping to seize Nanpi and enter the plains, attack Taishan County, and cooperate with Yuan Xi to seize Qingzhou."

"On the way, Duke Ming personally led the army to recapture the Liyang camp, cross the river into Puyang, and restrain Liu Bei's main force."

"Finally, if the four routes join forces in Yanzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Bei can be completely strangled!"

Xu You quickly formulated a decisive battle strategy for Yuan Shao.

With no objectors around, Xu You offered advice, and now he can be unscrupulous.

If Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others were there, they would probably still pick and choose Xu You's four-way approach, and find faults in various ways, and finally let it go.

Yuan Shao clapped his hands and praised: "Ziyuan's plan is wonderful! Go forward in four ways, let's see how Liu Bei will deal with it!"

More soldiers is capricious!
This is Yuan Shao's biggest advantage.

Xu You disdains the way of gathering millions of troops in one place.

With the ability to fight on multiple fronts, why do you have to gather troops in one place?
Not everyone has the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops!

Without Han Xin's commanding power, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in one place will form a disadvantageous situation of "too many soldiers but not uniform".

The transportation and consumption of grain and grass will also cause great disadvantages.

Xu You knew that he did not have such commanding power, and he also knew that no one under Yuan Shao's command had such commanding power, so he dispersed his troops and turned them into four groups of troops.

If you count Ma Teng and Han Sui's team, it is actually a five-way army.

In this way, the pressure of command becomes less.

soon.

Yuan Shao began to preach to the three states, Wuhuan and the Xiongnu, recruiting troops and horses to actively prepare for the war.

This hardly concealed the deployment of troops and generals, and soon reached Liu Bei's ears.

"Advance in four ways, what a great handwriting!"

"Yuan Shao is going south for a decisive battle, and the outcome will be determined in the first battle."

Yuan Shaobing divided into four groups, which really put a lot of pressure on Liu Bei.

But for Zheng Ping, this situation has already been deduced hundreds of times.

The Eighth Battalion of Qingzhou belongs to the Elite Battalion.

This is Liu Bei's most elite force, and it is also a mobile force that can be recruited at any time.

But this does not mean that there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the three states of Qingxuyang.

It's just that most of the troops are used to garrison the city passes in various places.

Yuan Shao was able to recruit troops from the three northern states and Wuhuan Xiongnu, and Liu Bei was also able to recruit troops from the three southern states and Shanyue.

"You can give Qingzhou Biejia Xunyou the governor of Qingzhou, command the troops and horses of the counties and states in Qingzhou, and give him the right to do things cheaply to resist Yuan Xi and Wuhuan soldiers."

"You can grant Xuzhou Biejia Tian Feng, the governor of Xuzhou, to rule over the troops and horses of the counties and states in Xuzhou, and give him the right to do things cheaply, so that he can go north to resist Yuan Shanghe's trial and assignment."

"You can appoint Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, as the governor of Yangzhou, and order Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Lu Xun to accompany the army and command the soldiers and horses of the counties in Yangzhou, and order them to enter Xudu by water and wait for opportunities."

"Send someone to Shanyue again, lobby the Shanyue Commander Zu Lang and others, and follow Lu Kang to Xudu."

"As for the Qingzhou Seventh Battalion, they will stay in Yanzhou and confront Yuan Shao's main force."

Zheng Ping quickly settled on a strategy.

Except for Tai Shici's flying army camp in Liaodong, seven of Qingzhou's eighth battalions are in Yanzhou.

Although there are only more than [-] troops, with Zang Hong's troops in Yanzhou, Liu Bei can also command [-] to [-] troops in Yanzhou, which is enough to compete with Yuan Shao's main force.

Although Liu Bei did not occupy the geographical advantages and population and materials of the three northern states like Yuan Shao, he had many more famous generals and conspiracies than Yuan Shao.

If Jushou hadn't also gone to Liaodong, Zheng Ping would have allowed Jushou to lead the army alone, and went to Jingzhou to Nanyang to cut off Ma Teng and Han Sui's retreat.

As long as Cao Cao doesn't sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, Zheng Ping dares to confront Yuan Shao head-on.

Now, with Cao Cao restraining Ma Teng and Han Sui's tyrannical Xiliang soldiers, Zheng Ping can calmly choose his generals to deal with Yuan Shao.

It seems that Yuan Shao launched a decisive battle aggressively, but in fact Zheng Ping once again achieved the strategic goal of gathering soldiers from six states to resist Yuan Shao.

And under Xudu City.

Cao Cao also got the information that Yuan Shao was advancing in four directions.

This wiped out Cao Cao's last luck.

"Benchu ​​is really trying to lie to me!"

"I didn't expect that I, Cao Mengde, was smart all my life, but I was confused for a while, and I was deceived by Benchu."

Cao Cao couldn't help sighing.

Ben thought, pretending to negotiate a peace in exchange for time to accumulate strength.

Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the back by Yuan Shao.

Now that Xu is lost, Yuan Shao is going south for a decisive battle, which is tantamount to pushing Cao Cao into a very embarrassing position!

Cao Cao had to resist Yuan Shao together with Liu Bei.

Regardless of victory or defeat, it is difficult for Cao Cao to make a profit.

Yuan Shao won, Cao Cao was powerless to resist Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao lost, and Cao Cao was powerless to resist Liu Bei.

This made Cao Cao very aggrieved.

It is clear that Yuan Shao is weak and will unite with Yuan Kangliu, and Liu Bei will unite with Liu Kangyuan when he is weak, waiting for an opportunity to grow stronger. The result turned into an embarrassing situation where the two powers competed and Cao Cao was defeated.

For Guo Jia, who was the counselor, he also felt uncomfortable.

A good strategist knows himself and the enemy before he can strategize and win a thousand miles.

However, Guo Jia missed the variable of Fengji this time.

If there is no discipline, Ma Teng and Han Sui would never dare to seize Xudu without authorization!
It happened to be this variable, the strategy of negotiating peace was futile, and Xudu was lost, triggering Yuan Shao's four-pronged decisive battle.

"Duke Ming, it's all Jia's fault that caused this situation." Guo Jia blamed himself very much.

Self-proclaimed that he is a genius, but made such a big mistake, which directly changed the situation where Yuan, Cao and Liu stand side by side.

Originally, Cao Cao fought steadily, as long as he kept Xudu, he would not fall into a completely passive situation, but now, Cao Cao has lost the initiative, and all actions have to be forced by Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao shook his head and did not blame Guo Jia.

Rather than saying that it was Guo Jia's suggestion, it is better to say that Guo Jia had an insight into Cao Cao's inner thoughts.

If Cao Cao is unwilling to negotiate a peace, let alone Guo Jia, it will be useless for anyone to offer advice.

"This is not a fault of filial piety." Cao Cao comforted his most trusted adviser, saying, "The plan for now is to take back Xudu as soon as possible before Ma Teng and Han Sui's reinforcements arrive."

"If the emperor is wrong, Cao will have no place to stand!"

Liu Xie is alive, Cao Cao is still Sikong.

If Liu Xie is dead, then the world will become a contest between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao has the reputation of four generations and three princes, and has many supporters. No matter he is called emperor or king, there are a large number of Yuan's disciples and old officials who support him.

And Liu Bei is even more difficult. Just the four characters of Dahan Huangshu are enough for Liu Bei to succeed to the throne and proclaim himself emperor after Liu Xie's death, so as to continue the name of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao's situation became very embarrassing.

Support Yuan Shao, you have to be a minister to Yuan Shao, support Liu Bei, you have to be a minister to Liu Bei.

Cao Cao was not willing to serve Yuan Shao or Liu Bei as a minister.

"Heading orders, don't care about the hostages."

"Order the three armies to forcibly attack the city!"

Cao Cao became ruthless.

Cao Cao wanted to capture Xudu as much as possible while Fengji was only threatening people from the Cao clan instead of Liu Xie.

Seeing that Cao Cao insisted on attacking the city regardless of his son's life, Fengji was so angry that he chopped Cao Pi on the spot, and then pushed Cao Pi off the tower.

However, this move not only failed to frighten Cao Cao, but made Cao Jun's generals jealous.

If you can kill Cao Pi every time, you can kill the family members of Cao Jun's generals!
So ever.

General Cao Jun, who was extremely angry, began a fierce attack on the city without fear of death.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Feng Ji was stunned by the madness of General Cao Jun. Even beheading Cao Cao's son and family members of Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren failed to frighten the crazy General Cao Jun.

"Feng Jianjun, don't cut it down, it will only increase Cao Bing's anger."

Han Sui keenly saw the clue.

Cao Cao is too ruthless!
In order to boost morale, he did not hesitate to abandon his own son, and even consciously guided Feng Ji to kill the family members of Xiahou Dun Cao Ren's general.

The trend of mourning has become!
"In terms of ruthlessness, Cao Mengde is indeed the best in the world." Feng Ji cursed angrily.

Now Cao's army has formed a mourning trend, and its morale is booming.

Feng Ji didn't dare to send his generals out of the city, but let Ma Teng and Han Sui lead his troops to defend the city.

Fortunately, Xu Capital City has a large number of defense equipment, otherwise Feng Ji might not be able to defend against Cao Cao's mourning soldiers.

And in the palace.

Liu Xie was restless.

In order to avoid Liu Xie's betrayal, Feng Ji sent someone to tell Liu Xie that Cao Cao's son died and he wanted to question Liu Xie.

This is a trick used by Feng Ji to prevent Xu Capital City from being unable to defend and Liu Xie not willing to leave together.

Feng Ji is equally ruthless.

If Xu Capital really can't keep it, then Liu Xie must be taken away!

At this time, Feng Ji didn't know that Yuan Shao was ready to kill Liu Xie and sent four armies southward.

But whether it is Xu You's plan or Feng Ji's idea, their purpose is surprisingly consistent.

Liu Xie, you can't leave it to Cao Cao!
As long as Cao Cao loses Liu Xie, there will be no threat!

"Zongzheng, if Cao Cao wants to kill me, Yuan Shao must not tolerate me."

"How good is this!"

Liu Xie regretted going to welcome Ma Teng and Han Sui into Luoyang, and hated Cao Cao even more in his heart.

The negotiated peace agreement, why is it that I am all injured?
