Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 151 Earth Ghost
Jizhou, Handan, Yecheng.

"Ah Man is getting less and less motivated."

At this time, in the lobby of the state capital, Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, had just finished reading the bamboo slips sent by the messenger.

He put down the letter and smiled mockingly:
"It's a joke to be so devastated by a group of vagrants and thieves."

At this time, Yuan Shao was in his prime of life, even though he was sitting in the back of the town and living high in the mansion, he still often dressed in feathered crown and brocade armor.

He was born in a prominent family, and when he was young, he was also a talented and famous scholar.

Now, it is more and more fond of arming.

It was this year that Yuan Shao truly unified Hebei and expelled the enemy, and it was the time when he was most energetic.

The battles in the battlefield and countless victories over the past few years filled his face with a tough and majestic expression.

Like the scorching sun shining brightly, it has already begun to assume the majesty of the king.

A nickname like Ah Man, if someone called it directly, it would naturally have a contemptuous meaning.

But listening to Yuan Shao's tone of voice, everyone on the field could hear the intimacy and familiarity.

At the very least, in Yuan Shao's eyes at this time, Cao Cao was still the acquaintance of the leader who followed behind him.

Yuan Shao forgot one thing.

The urchin who called Big Brother when he was a child has been an adult for many years now.

When I call Big Brother again, I may not be willing.

"My lord, this is not the right time."

The judge of the general shogunate heard the meaning of Yuan Shao's words, and was afraid that he would be burdened by friendship, and wanted to send troops to Qingzhou to rescue Cao Cao, so he bowed quickly and said, "Our army has fought with Gongsun Zan again and again, and now we have just made peace, and it is time to recuperate. , how can we go on an expedition and go to war again?"

Since the third year of Chuping (192).

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought back and forth for Jizhou, and both sides suffered losses.

Battle of the Boundary Bridge.

Qu Yi, who had four pillars and one beam in Hebei, defeated Gongsun Zan's [-] white horse righteous followers with eight hundred elite soldiers in the middle and a thousand bows on both wings.

In the end, what was supposed to be a great victory in the battle turned out to be a young brave general who stabbed Qu Yi under his horse with a single shot. After that, he flew out of the gate like a tiger and flew into the Shao army. territory.

Gongsun Zan took the opportunity to lead the army back.
As a result, the big victory turned into a miserable one, and Yuan Shao withdrew to the front in embarrassment.

Afterwards, the Battle of Giant Horse Water.

When Yuan Shao led his army back to the south, he was overtaken by Gongsun Zan's army again, and was defeated again, with nearly ten thousand soldiers killed.

Until the Battle of Longcou, Gongsun Zan rushed forward with his army eager for merit, and was finally defeated by Yuan Shao, pulling back a city.

After this battle, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to return to Youzhou.

After that, the two sides continued to attack and attack each other, consuming an unknown amount of military rations. After fighting for two years, they had no choice but to reconcile under the mediation of the emperor's envoy.

Later, Gongsun Zan made a foolish move to kill Liu Yu and caused chaos in Youzhou, but Yuan Shao took the opportunity to dominate Hebei, and finally one changed.

From the point of view of trial and assignment, last year's war just stopped, and this year, in order to unify Hebei's multi-party conquests, the small battles continued, and it was hard to take a short rest in the past two months to slowly recover.
At this time, go to spend your own manpower and material resources for other people's backyard?
Get it right, it's almost winter.

What's more, it's Cao Cao.
Thinking of this, the examiner secretly shook his head, the lord has helped this person many times, and it was really a mistake when he came!

From the point of view of the judge, from the moment he killed Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan was nothing to worry about.

Today, he pays more attention to Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

Hearing the judge's objection, Yuan Shao didn't say anything, but another scribe in the hall said with a smile: "Brother Zhengnan's words are wrong."

"My lord and Yanzhou Mu watch and help each other, and they are mutual horns. The so-called lips are dead and teeth are cold. If you see it in danger and don't help it, if you see it in trouble and don't help it, you will lose people's hearts and hinder the overall situation."

Hearing this, the examiner followed the prestige, frowned, and said coldly:
"Xu Ziyuan, if Cao Mengde can't even deal with the mere Yellow Turban bandits, then he is extremely incompetent. How can he talk about helping the lord."

"Let alone the horns of each other?"

"If it wasn't for Lu Bu's entanglement." Xu You had a smile on his face, but his words did not show weakness, and he argued hard:
"What's the point of a mere yellow scarf bandit?"

"Hey, Xu You, you speak for Cao Cao everywhere. Is it out of public interest or for personal gain?"

"Adjudicate you."

As the two sides quarreled, the tone became more intense, and the words began to become sharper.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, murmured, his heart was biased towards Xu You for a while, and he felt that what the examiner said was reasonable, and fell into hesitation for a while, unable to make a decision.

At this moment, one of them laughed, "The two are arguing like this. In fact, each of them has a reason, but it is completely meaningless!"

The speaker's surname is Guo Mingtu, he is Yuan Tan's confidant, and he was in the army at that time to offer wine sacrifices.

He caressed the thin beard under his lips, and squinted his eyes slightly, "The thief that Cao Zhoumu is worried about is in Linzi, far away from my city of Ye."

It would be unwise to send a large group of troops from the headquarters, but as the Lord Shen said, it would be unwise to labor for an expedition. "

"But what Xu You said makes sense."

"Cao Cao is my lord's close friend and ally, both public and private. Since the other party has sent a letter asking for help, how can we ignore it?"

"My lord is the hope of all the world, and the lord of the Ming Dynasty who is raised by everyone in the world, and the fame and utensils must not be damaged."

"I have a plan." Pointing to the map, he continued: "If we start from the plains, enter Jinan, and then attack Linzi, the journey will not be far."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, what you said!"

He looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Masters, my general is currently in the Bohai Sea, and entering the plain is as easy as pie."

The reviewer thought for a while and said:

"I heard that the current record of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is quite astonishing. General Wen's garrison in Bohai is only [-] people. If he sends troops up to [-], I don't know."

"The thieves are engulfing the refugees, so you can't confront the enemy head-on." Xu You said with a smile: "Send a messenger to explain, lead his men and horses to attack Linzi, and surround Linzi with infantry. Only the main force of the Yellow Turbans will besiege Linzi to curb the banditry."

"The rest of the fine cavalry wiped out the surrounding area."

"If the thieves take the initiative to go out of the city, they should be confronted with fine horses. If they see a large group, they will avoid it, and if they encounter a small group, they will attack."

"Within two months, he will be short of food and clothing, panicked, and will collapse himself."

"However, this kind of lone army goes deep into the enemy's territory." Xu You looked at Yuan Shao: "You need a brave and wise general to accomplish anything."

"My lord, although General Wen is brave and good at fighting, I would like to recommend someone, Zhang."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao laughed out loud and stood up.

"My land ghost is naturally wise and brave, and he is the perfect candidate!"

Forehead.
Xu You reluctantly swallowed the continuation that he wanted to say.

The moment he folded his hands and retreated, he secretly glanced at Shen Pei, and seeing that he also showed hesitation, he couldn't help but sighed.

You also feel inappropriate.

This scene was completely watched by a young scribe who was standing upright and silent all the time.

Now that Yuan Shao is the most powerful prince in the world, he has already been expected by everyone and has gathered followers.

Just looking at his counselors and generals, it can be said that there are a lot of talents.

For example, Tian Feng (Julu County), Jushou (Julu County), and Shenpei (Wei County) are all from Jizhou.

Feng Ji (Nanyang County) and Xu You (Nanyang County) were also from Jingzhou.

And Guo Tu (Yingchuan County), Xun Chen (Xun Yu's brother), and Chen Lin are from Yingchuan, Yuzhou.

For Xiongzhu, this should have been a good situation, and it proved that the reputation is far and wide, and the talented people come to vote from all over the world.

But in the eyes of young scribes, Yuan Shao's major shortcomings as a monarch were exposed instead.

No opinion, no decision.

If you just imitate Zhou Gong's courtesy and sages, but you don't know how to apply it, and you are good at making judgments.
More talent is not a good thing.

In Yuan Shao's tent, young scribes have seen scenes like this many quarreling.

Every time, Yuan Shao responded like this, which greatly disappointed him.

This time, it was the last straw.

Overwhelmed all expectations for Yuan Shao.

Looking at Yuan Shao with contempt, the young scribe sneered, and a sentence from "Zuo Zhuan" that he read every day flashed in his mind.

If you start with this, you must end with this.

Yuan Benchu ​​has a reputation for nothing, but it really doesn't match.

This person is hard to become a master!

Don't stay here for long!
