Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 503 What a shame?Destiny?
"Is this destiny?"

In Xuchang City, Jia Xu had a gloomy face, and put aside the report he had just received, looking at the servant who was kneeling in front of him with a look of panic, obviously frightened by his gloomy face, waved He waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you, let's go out first."

The servant just came over to deliver a letter before, who would have thought that this letter would make the originally amiable master's face clouded in an instant, and he was annoyed that he shouldn't be meddlesome.

Hearing Jia Xu's words suddenly, he immediately retreated as if he had been pardoned.

He didn't dare to stay around this study room at all.

It wasn't until the servants around the study room had gone away that Jia Xu opened the letter again, and after reading it again, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

What a great opportunity... what a pity.

Almost at the same time Jia Xu sighed.

Cheng Yu's mansion, which is not too far away from Jia Xu's mansion, Cheng Yu, who received the information almost at the same time as Jia Xu, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. There was a bit of doubt.

There is only one reason why Cao Wei's two advisers sighed at the same time.

Shortly after the beginning of the second year of Ding'an, the festivities of Zhengdan had not yet dissipated, and the beacon fire was ignited again on the border of the Han Dynasty.

Lord Wuhuan stunned, and used the excuse of Wuhuan's emissary, Bo Jinu, to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, but was beheaded by Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, the Marquis of Qi, on the long street of Pingyuan.

It took only one month for a large army of [-] soldiers to march into the northern land of Han Dynasty with Xiangping as the entry point.

Xiangping was breached, Beiping was breached, Wuhuan Iron Cavalry directly broke through the two important towns of Youzhou, and the soldiers entered Jieqiao, eyeing the next target, Jicheng.

Under Yuan Shao's haste, the few troops he organized were all defeated. In the face of the charge of Wuhuan cavalry, even the elite Hebei army could only hold on to the city, let alone counterattack.

Under this background, Yuan Shao could only issue an emergency transfer order to transfer Yuan Tan, who had returned to Xuzhou from the plains, back to Hebei. Also transferred back to Hebei at the same time were Yuan Tan's five thousand pagoda guards.

Although there are still [-] Xuzhou new troops left in Xuzhou, everyone knows that when the chief general Yuan Tan is not in Xuzhou, these [-] new troops are only guarding Hebei's basic territory in the Central Plains from being spied on by outsiders.

And Cao Cao, who was in constant panic every day because Runan was conquered, naturally got time to breathe again under the background of Wuhuan, which was like a godsend against the border.

This is why, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu would sigh, this is probably God's will not let Cao Cao be destroyed.

The loss of the important town of Runan not only caused Cao Jun to lose the last batch of mobile forces, but also caused Cao Jun to completely lose the cavalry, which is the biggest weapon against infantry on the battlefields of the Central Plains, especially on the plain terrain of Sili. .

But following Wuhuan's banditry, Tadun was well prepared this time. Not only did he launch an intensive march on his own side, but thanks to the blessings of the two prodigal sons Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, whether it was Xiangping or Beiping, the defense It's all slack.

It was directly taken down by the Wuhuan people, so that the Wuhuan people would not brave the winter snow to fight outside the city.

At the same time, the Wuhuan people also used the various channels left over from the previous transactions with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to establish relationships with the princes of the Central Plains.

Beiping City and Xiangping City don't have much food in these two cities, but it doesn't matter, the princes of the Central Plains have it.

Especially Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who had always hated Yuan Tan deeply, was overjoyed when the Wuhuan envoy arrived in Xuchang and proposed to use Wuhuan war horses to trade grain and grass. The whole process of Wuhuan people's transaction.

Although the grain and grass from Cao Cao's side cannot be transported through the channels in Hebei to Xiangping City, which the Wuhuan people have already captured, it doesn't matter. The land route is impassable, so we can take the sea route.

The Wuhuan people had negotiated with Gongsun Du long ago, and Gongsun Du and Sun Ce agreed on the terms. The grain and grass from Cao Cao's side would go directly by sea and be sent to Liaodong through Sun Ce's channel. After that, it was transferred from Liaodong to Xiangping.

The journey in the middle sounds very long, but in fact, it didn't take long to go near the sea. It was only in February of the second year of Ding'an that the Wuhuan people in Xiangping City received the first batch of grain and grass from the princes of the Central Plains.

All the lords of the Central Plains needed war horses, not just Cao Cao's family, but also Sun Ce. Therefore, the conditions proposed by the Wuhuan people when they came to the door were good for Sun Ce or Cao Cao, and they were almost pies that fell from the sky.

Before, everyone was short of war horses, and the warehouses for the grain piles couldn't fit in, and they were all worried about how to deal with it.

Now it is actually possible to directly exchange food for war horses, and they are not inferior horses, they are all high-quality Wuhuan war horses transported from the grassland!

Not to mention, when these grains are sent over, they will all become feathered arrows aimed at the Hebei army, not to mention Cao Cao.

Even Sun Ce, who didn't have much enmity with the Yuan family, wished that the Wuhuan people and the Hebei army would fight more fiercely.

It would be better if both sides lose out.

As for how many Han men will die on the battlefield during this process, that is not something Sun Ce and Cao Cao need to consider.

What Han family man?That's an enemy country, it's an enemy bandit. Naturally, the more such people die, the better.

Yuan Tan is naturally well aware of Sun Ce and Cao Cao's little tricks, but now he has no intention of entangled with Sun Ce and Cao Cao's little tricks.

At this moment, Yuan Tan has already embarked on the road to Ji Town. In this expedition, apart from Futu Tiewei, Yuan Tan still only brought his two disciples to follow, and the rest stayed behind in Xuzhou to watch the house as usual. .

"Yuan Xi has been abolished as a commoner, imprisoned in the mansion in Yecheng, and cannot leave the mansion for half a step." Yuan Tan put down the silk cloth that he had just delivered in his hand, shook his head, and threw the silk cloth into the In the arms of a personal guard behind him, he said lightly: "Put this thing away, and inform the brothers, we are going to hurry on our way."

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were directly captured by himself after the battle in Pingyuan that day. Originally, Yuan Tan meant to directly kill Yuan Xi, the scourge.

But for some reason, Daddy Cheap seemed to know the news from Pingyuan, and had already sent Chen Zhen over before he set off for Pingyuan, but before he could make a move in the future, Chen Zhen stopped him.

After some persuasion, Chen Zhen managed to save Yuan Xi's life, not because Yuan Tan was afraid of the consequences of killing Yuan Xi.

But Chen Zhen said that the reason is very good.

He didn't need to kill Yuan Xi.

People like Yuan Xi, let alone Yuan Tan, even Chen Zhen, a close confidant of Yuan Shao, looked down upon him. As for people like Guo Tu Fengji, they originally had some illusions about Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

It turned out that the only idea these two bastards came up with during their hibernation in Xiangping was to lure the Wuhuan people south.

He also completely gave up on the two of them.
