Great Wei Nengchen

"My lord, since the last general was ordered to wipe out the rebellion everywhere, the local area has been calmed down. After the defeat of the leader of the bandit, Zhang Yan, he fled into the mountains alone. His whereabouts are unknown. Even if he is still alive, he will not be able to make a fortune!"

The general in charge of suppressing the bandits - Jiang Qi, with his first-class commanding ability, chased and killed the bandits and grass bandits everywhere, and received frequent praises from Hebei civil and military officials!

"Haha! - It all depends on the hard work of all the gentlemen. The situation in Hebei has improved greatly. There is sufficient money and food, strong soldiers and horses, and a stable place. With this as capital, the world will be pacified, and it will be just around the corner... Pass on the order, civil and military officials, each with a reward!"

After listening to everyone's report, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing up to the sky, and ordered to reward all civil and military officials, but he forgot that the recovery of the situation in Hebei was due to one person - Xiao Yi!

Last winter, Xiao Yi kidnapped hundreds of thousands of people, severely hurting the vitality of the four prefectures in Hebei, but he also eliminated internal troubles and calmed down the place, just like popping an abscess. After a lot of pain, it is good for the body!

The most important thing is that people will learn their lessons after suffering the pain. One defeat to Xuzhou, two defeats to Xiliang, three defeats to Baihujian, all three defeats, completely hurt Yuan Shao, and also aroused a sense of crisis. For more than half a year, He spent sleepless nights and food in handling government affairs, and his military and civil servants also did their best, and only then did the situation turn for the better!

Then again, there is a cycle of cause and effect, and the big man will always take revenge. Now the situation in Hebei is good, and the soldiers under his command are strong and strong. The next step is to send troops to the south to take revenge...

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be investigated. This battle is related to the ownership of the world. I hope the general will think twice before acting!"

With a clear voice, Tian Feng stepped out of the queue. Because of the achievement of "accepting orders in danger", he has been promoted to "Jizhou Don't Drive", ranking first among civil servants. Heart!

"Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes, occupying the title of righteousness in the court, and sitting in the five states of Xu, Yan, Yu, Si, and Liang, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, counselors like clouds, generals like rain, and arrogance. Arrogant, the decisive battle at this time, I am afraid the time has not yet come!

In the opinion of the subordinates, the lord should work hard, let the people of Hebei cultivate themselves, save food and grass, and forge weapons. After three years, it is not too late to fight a decisive battle. In this way, there is a [-]% chance of winning! "

Tian Feng is excellent in strategy and knows each other's strengths and weaknesses very well. Cao Jun's generals are brave and have elite soldiers and horses, and they are good at quick battles. But they also have a weakness, that is, logistics supply is difficult. If they send troops for more than three months, they will be weak in follow-up Yes, the siege of Xiapi is the best proof!

On the contrary, Yuan Jun's combat effectiveness is slightly weaker, but the logistics supply is very strong. Jizhou has a vast territory and fertile land. The grain produced in a year is the sum of the three states of Xu, Henan, and Yan. A war of attrition is the right decision!

"Wow!... Yuan Hao's words are reasonable, Cao Jun is brave and good at fighting, and there are famous generals in command, I can't wait too hastily!"

Tian Feng's words were like a bucket of cold water, which made everyone's minds sober. It was a matter of life and death, so it was right to be cautious!

"Yuan Hao's words are different. Cao Ying seems to be strong, but in fact he is strong on the outside, and has three major disadvantages. It is the way of self-destruction..."

Counsel-Guo Tu stood up and objected directly, with a trace of jealousy in his eyes. His relationship with Tian Feng was not bad at first, but since the latter was promoted, the relationship between the two has become more subtle, and the number of quarrels has also increased. increased!

"First of all, Cao Cao is called Han Chancellor, but he is actually a Han traitor. He bullies the emperor and oppresses all officials. The people of the world have long hated him. Once a war starts, everyone will betray their relatives and fall apart!

Secondly, over the past few years, Cao Cao has resorted to military campaigns to crusade against various princes. Although he was lucky enough to win, the soldiers and horses under his command suffered heavy casualties, and he consumed countless money and food. It is already the end of his battle!

In the end, Cao Cao was short-sighted and intolerant of others, so he imprisoned the chief general, Xiao Yi, in the dungeon.

With these three defeats, how can Cao's bandits be immortal? The general obeyed the heavens, sent troops to fight against the bandits, reported to the emperor, and sent down the common people. He should be invincible and rule the Central Plains! "

"Mr. Gongze's words are justified. Send troops quickly to fight against the Cao bandits. In the end, the general will be willing to be the pioneer."

"The thief Cao is not destroyed, the world is in trouble, there will be a battle sooner or later, why hesitate?"

..........................................

I have to admit that Guo Tu is very eloquent, and his eloquent eloquence stirred up the anger of everyone, especially the generals, who can't wait to send troops immediately and fight to the death!

Here comes the problem again. One of the two counselors in Hebei advocates delaying the dispatch of troops, and the other wants to make a quick decision. They each have their own reasons. How to choose is really a difficult problem. All eyes are on Yuan Shao, hoping that he will be wise and decisive. One time, make the right decision!

It's a pity that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Even if Yuan Shao pulls himself together, he can't change his old problem--he is always planning, sitting there, thinking about it for a long time, and it is difficult to make a decision. One person - Xu You!

Among the many counselors in Hebei, Xu You is average in intelligence and greedy. He likes gold and silver, real estate, fertile land, beautiful women... just like Pixiu, he swallows everything, so his colleagues look down on him, but he also has something special Skill - and mud!

The lord's eyes fell on the matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Even if Xu You didn't want to, he had no choice but to stand up!

"Yuanhao and Gongze have their own reasons for what they said, but why don't you send an envoy with a large amount of tribute to the emperor to Xuchang to show your loyalty to the emperor, and then pay a visit to the righteous teacher? Cao Cao proposed three conditions:

First, return the hundreds of thousands of people who were kidnapped, and then compensate 20 gold and 50 hu of corn for resettlement purposes!

Second, cede the six counties of Xiliang, release the captured Hebei soldiers, and let them go home to reunite with their relatives, especially the traitor Feng Ji, who must be escorted back to Yecheng and punished according to the law!

Third, tell the world, move the capital to Yecheng, and invite the little emperor, so that the general can serve the emperor to beg for disobedience!

If Cao Cao agrees, the lord will win the city, money, and population for nothing... There are many benefits. If you don't agree, then tell the world, and in the name of King Qin, send troops to crusade, which is considered fair and honest! "

Xu You is worthy of being a veteran of He Ximu. After some words, he took into account the opinions of both parties. The strategy he proposed was also ruthless and poisonous, which was unanimously approved by everyone!

"Mr. Ziyuan's words are very lonely. Immediately send envoys to Xuchang and put forward three conditions. Let's see how the thief responds."

Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction. Although Xu You is greedy, he also has some skills, but this kind of person can be reused, not trusted!

Chapter 819 Never retreat!

Since the tribal era, there have been wars on the land of China. At that time, the folk customs were simple, and they paid attention to the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness-first courtesy and then soldiers." Before fighting, the enemy must be notified. , Ming Jin retreated, and after the winners and losers were divided, the victors would not pursue the fleeing enemy, nor would they abuse the captives. As the loser, they had to admit their mistakes and hand over the hostages!

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, rituals collapsed and music was broken, people's hearts were not old, and the laws of war also changed. "Soldiers use deceit to stand up" was admired, and what lured the enemy to go deep and attack halfway... appeared on the battlefield one after another. The purpose of war It has also changed from "surrendering the enemy and obeying me" to robbing land and population, which later generations call it-the Spring and Autumn Unjust War!

In the Han Dynasty, people lost the last bit of shame. In order to win, they used all means, such as counterintuitive schemes, bitter tricks, and beauty tricks... There were endless wars, and sneak attacks were the main way to fight. It is best to touch the enemy's bedside. I haven't noticed it yet, and the knife is clean and neat, and there is only one principle of war left-no principle!

The trend of history is mighty and mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Anyone who cannot keep up with the pace of the times will inevitably be eliminated. Only the strong will stand proudly at the forefront!

Such a simple truth, some people understand it, and some people never understand it. It is a pity that Yuan Shao belongs to the latter, and he still has the demeanor of a powerful family. : Before the Hebei envoy had crossed the Yellow River, the Caoying Group got the news and got ready immediately!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Xuchang-Prime Minister's Mansion-Secret Room, Cao Cao brought his three sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, and gathered four advisors, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, and Li Dian. , Le Jin... Some core generals are discussing strategies against the Yuan Group. The number of participants will never exceed twenty!

This is also one of the rules of the Caoying Group. Only core figures can participate in important military and political meetings. No word is leaked, no words are left, and everyone is tight-lipped. Even mobilizing troops and raising money and food must be done in secret. Standard Act low-key, be high-key!

On the contrary, the prime minister's mansion is full of peace and harmony. The gates of the mansion are wide open, and the guards and servants come in and out as usual. There is no difference from the past. There are no restrictions on the comings and goings of people on the streets outside. The small merchants were yelling vigorously, who would have thought that in the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of people were discussing military and state affairs, which is called "tighten inside and loose outside!" '

"Yuan Shao maintains that he has a large number of soldiers, and he has long cherished the heart of disobedience. Now he is sending envoys to threaten the court, and his arrogance is extremely arrogant. I hope you will tell me with good words how the old man will deal with it!"

Cao Cao was wearing ordinary clothes, sitting upright like a mountain, with an expression as calm as water, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, but in his flickering eyes, there was lightning and thunder - overwhelming!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation has developed to this point, and the battle between Cao and Yuan is inevitable. This is a life-and-death decisive battle. At the risk of losing everything, he will die without a place to bury himself!

Cao Cao is 44 years old this year. He is already middle-aged. 'In comparison, it can be described as a world of difference!

But he has an unyielding heart, as well as enough wisdom and courage, diligently read the art of war, practiced martial arts, and relying on his own efforts, he was named Xiaolian at the age of 20, Dunqiu Ling at the age of 23, launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo at the age of 34, and became a hero at the age of 40. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the country and the country, commanding thousands of troops, and all the people in the world look up to him!

High-ranking officials and high salaries, glory and wealth, and supreme glory... Cao Cao spent most of his life energy, after nine deaths, and struggled hard. Now he is pressing on a war where the outcome is unpredictable. Is such a horrific gamble worth it? ?

"Hoo!...Hoo! Hoo!"

The atmosphere in the secret room was solemn, only the sound of heavy breathing, some people clenched their fists, some people were sweating profusely, all of them bowed their heads in thought, the battle between Cao and Yuan, not only the survival of the Cao clan, but also their prosperity and disgrace were at stake, it was famous in history , or a long-lasting stigma, it depends on this battle, so you must proceed with caution!

"The Yuan family has been entrenched in Hebei for many years, and it can be said to be deeply rooted. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under its command, and a mountain of money and grain. The civil servants and military officers under its command are not ordinary people. Guo Tu, Xu You, and Shen Pei are all resourceful men. Tian Feng and Ju Shou are loyal. Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Chunyu Qiong are the champions of the three armies. If we fight with them, our army may not have a good chance of winning?

Especially the Yuan family's four generations and three princes, disciples and former officials all over the world, and there are not a few officials in the court. If there is a big war, Xuchang will be empty if all the soldiers and horses are exhausted. Is there any guarantee that there will be no changes for these people? "

Xun Yu also came from a family, and he knew very well that the most terrifying thing about the Yuan family did not lie in the number of cities, land, civil servants, and generals, but in the prestige of the "No. [-] family in the world"!

In troubled times, prestige is capital, and if you use this as a call, you can exchange for real gold and silver, and you can get countless food and grass, as well as the full support of the world's gentry!

Cao Cao has been the prime minister for more than four years. He has worked day and night, dealing with various government affairs, but he has been obstructed in various ways, with open and dark arrows, constant conspiracy, good policies cannot be implemented, and outstanding poor children cannot be promoted. The reason is that The gentry family is in chaos!
