The Legend of Yuan Yao in the Three Kingdoms

Minggong, has it really changed?

Poor Yuan Huan!

It was an interface that even he could not have imagined even if he was killed, Yuan Shu thought of it temporarily for the convenience of proclaiming himself emperor in the future.

But Yan Xiang, the only one in the audience who knew that Yuan Shu had the intention of proclaiming himself emperor, heard it, but he directly cooperated with Yuan Shu and said: "What Duke Ming said is true. If you announce it to the world, it will definitely kill the life of the emperor. But if you use the imperial edict , It will definitely shake Cao Jun’s heart a little bit. When Cao Cao sends troops, it will be even more powerful to fight this battle, and I ask Ming Gong to think more about it.”

Yan Xiang is undoubtedly a loyal person.

What's even more commendable is that Yan Xiang's loyalty is not to the entire Han Dynasty, but to Yuan Shu.

Speaking of why he tried his best to dissuade Yuan Shu from proclaiming himself emperor, it was not because of the great Han Jiangshan society, but because Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor was very likely to lead to his own demise.

For a character like Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao also valued it very much.

In particular, he is still one of the few people who understands the ultimate goal of the Yuan family's dominance. Yuan Yao has also told his father several times that he must listen to Yan Xiang's words more.

Therefore, after hearing Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu also quickly realized that he was passing the words to himself.

Seeing that Yuan Shu immediately straightened his expression and replied: "This time, we will join forces with Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao in the north, and we will raise three armies, 30 troops. With Yanzhou alone, how can we be an enemy?"

"This battle will surely be won! Why do we need the help of the head of the country with his life?"

"Everyone who has seen this edict is to give up. As long as you know that we are ordered to rebel, you can't be shaken."

"As for the outside world, you must not say too much. If it is publicized, it will definitely kill the head of the country. I am afraid that not only the head of the country will be involved, but it will definitely involve a lot of people. There will be a bloody storm in Xuchang. I don't want to see it."

Hearing what Yuan Shu said was undeniable, everyone sighed for his benevolence and righteousness, and they all agreed with him.

In fact, Yuan Shu's meeting can be regarded as a moral kidnapping.

If anyone refuses to say these words, wouldn't that be equivalent to personally sending the lives of the head of state and others to the guillotine?

If it is publicized, who can resist the world's saliva?

No one present is stupid, and no one wants to bear this infamy.

So after hearing what Yuan Shu said, everyone would only bury the news in their stomachs.

...

Dong Cheng sent out the clothes and belts, basically thinking about his own ending.

Regardless of whether the edict was intercepted by Cao Cao, or was successfully delivered to Shouchun, it was announced to the world by Yuan Shu.

After Cao Cao pursued it, he must be dead.

It's just that with this edict, it must be easier for Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao.

As long as His Majesty and his daughter can be preserved, that's enough.

Dong Cheng really never thought that Cao Cao would be so bold as to directly kill his daughter, Concubine Dong.

It's just... After the edict was sent out, either it should have been intercepted by Cao Cao, or it should have been issued by Yuan Shu, no matter what, some news should be sent.

Dong Cheng never expected that he would disappear like this without any news!

After many days passed, even the emperor Liu Xie couldn't bear it, so he sent Dong Cheng to ask.

After all, I was writing the blood edict with pain!

How do you say it's gone?

"Where's my edict?"

Facing Dong Cheng, Liu Xie asked directly and directly.

Dong Cheng didn't know where the imperial edict sent out went, he responded helplessly: "Return to Your Majesty, the dead man who sent the edict has returned safely, and it is said that it was sent to Yuan Huan in Shouchun City long ago. Already received it."

"Then why Yuan Shu didn't move?"

"I really don't know."

Faced with Liu Xie's urgent questioning, Dong Cheng repeatedly said that he didn't know.

Seeing Liu Xie frowned slightly, Dong Cheng quickly said again: "However, Yuan Shu's army has already moved. I heard that 40 people have gathered to kill them this time. I think Cao Cao will definitely be defeated!"

Well, it seems that Yuan Shu can't avoid those routines.

Obviously there are only 25 soldiers and horses, but they have already boasted to the outside world that they have 40 soldiers and horses.

Chapter 323 The Beginning of the War

Jian'an two years.

spring.

Yuan Shu united with Lu Bu, who claimed to have 40 soldiers and horses, and went out in three ways to conquer Cao Cao.

He personally ordered the general Ji Ling to go straight to Yanzhou to kill him.

At the beginning, the three roads went hand in hand, with successive victories.

Lu Bu of Xuzhou led an army to besiege Pengcheng.

Although Xiahou Dun, the defender of Pengcheng, tried his best to fight back, it seemed that he was about to fall short.

Now he can only stick to the city, it seems that he has the ambition to fight to the death, and wants to live and die with Pengcheng.

To the west, Gan Ning, the pioneer of Jingzhou, crossed Wancheng and entered Juancheng without encountering any obstacles.

Until the border of Yingchuan, Cao Cao did not see any resistance army, and it seemed that he had completely abandoned the western front.

On the middle road, Ji Ling led an army of 15 troops, crossed Yuzhou Liang State, and went straight to Yanzhou.

Now Cao Cao appeared.

It was also in front of Chen Chongbing and Ji Ling, who seemed to be going to a showdown with Ji Ling in the middle, to directly show off the winner.

Ji Ling didn't dare to be careless, and also faced Cao Cao, and joined forces for hundreds of miles, facing each other far away.

Ji Ling was not in a hurry. He knew that his side had the upper hand in this battle. As long as he could maintain the tug-of-war with Cao Cao, the east and west would surely make progress.

However, he knew, and Cao Cao should know even more, why did he still want to delay each other's time with himself in the Liang Kingdom?

Ji Ling didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, he could only do his own thing, and echoed Cao Cao's main force in Liang Guo.

...

In Liang Guo, Cao Cao left Xun Yu in Xudu, with only Guo Jia by his side.

In the big account, Cao Cao's expression was not relaxed.

Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are really too many, and they are moving in three directions at the same time, and he does not give himself a chance to defeat each one at all.

Now that the three sides are pressing every step of the way, Cao Cao can't be under pressure.

Fortunately, these are still expected.

"Feng Xiao, now Yuan Shu's three armies are pressing everywhere as we expected, but we can act according to plan?"

Guo Jiaying said: "Yuan Shu's three armies marched side by side. It seems that they are closely related and advance and retreat together, but in fact there are quite a lot of gaps inside."

"Lv Bu from Xuzhou needless to say, but the Marshal of Jingzhou, Lu Su, has little contact with Yuan Shu. During this expedition, Yuan Yao stayed with Jingzhou, so there is no news."

"The three sides seem to be advancing and retreating together, but in fact they are fighting on their own."

Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's analysis, and although he had already discussed the battle with him a lot, his calm appearance gave Cao Cao a dose of reassurance.

"So, Yuan Yao was really left in Jingzhou?"

Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Guo Jia also knew that Yuan Yao was a very important person.Not daring to be careless, his face straightened, and he replied seriously: "Return to Prime Minister, no matter whether Yuan Yao is willing or not, this time he has not taken command of the expedition, he must have stayed in Jingzhou."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Speaking of which, I never thought that I, Cao Mengde, would be worried about becoming a young man."

"Mr. Yuan is indeed extraordinary, but it is a pity that he stays in Jingzhou this time, no matter how capable he is, he will be beyond his reach."

Guo Jia responded to what he said, and heard him say slowly: "Since each is fighting, our army has a chance to defeat each of them!"

"The Prime Minister, please order General Xiahou to withdraw from Pengcheng and take refuge in Qingzhou temporarily!"

Cao Cao replied: "Good! Let Lu Fengxian be proud for a while!"

Guo Jia heard this but said: "Although we want to retreat, we can't retreat too hastily. We have to let Yuan Rang accompany Yuan Yao's father-in-law and fight hard."

The matter was settled, but Cao Cao's complexion changed a few times, and he muttered again: "I don't know if Gongda, who went to Hebei for help, has got good news now."

It turned out that Cao Cao knew that he might lose the enemy, so he went to Yuan Shao in Hebei for help!

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​has always regarded his brother as an enemy, and An Neng sees him growing stronger? Now that Gongsun Zan is like a turtle among men, and Hebei has been established, we must not just watch Yuan Gonglu go on a successful northern expedition."

"What's more...according to Yuan Benchu's overjoyed personality, he can't resist the conditions offered to him by the prime minister!"

"If you go here, you will definitely gain something. Don't worry, Prime Minister."

Cao Cao was relieved when he heard that Guo Jia was full of confidence.

There is Yuan Benchu ​​in the north and Yuan Gonglu in the south.

Although he took the emperor in his hand, due to the exchange of fire under the city of Luoyang, there was a gap between Cao Cao and the emperor early on, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

Our Boss Cao's life is really not so easy!

...

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

At this moment, Lu Bu's army outside the city had set up a stronghold twenty miles away, staring at Pengcheng.

Xiahoudun in Pengcheng had only [-] soldiers and horses. Facing Lu Bu's [-] army, he had to hold on to the city.

However, he didn't dare to complain at all.

How could Xiahou Dun not know the pressure the prime minister was facing.

After all, Xuzhou is not as important as Yanzhou or Yingchuan. Apart from the tens of thousands of troops in Pengcheng, there is no reinforcements.

Although the situation was grim, Xiahou Dun never thought of retreating.

Touching the Yitian sword in his hand, it was given to him by Cao Cao after he captured Pengcheng for the first time.

When receiving this sword, he made an oath that he would live and die with Pengcheng.

Now, it seems that it's time to fulfill my promise!

Looking at the deputy general beside him, it was Han Hao who had followed him for quite a while.

Xiahou Dun suddenly said kindly: "Yuan Si, you have really made great contributions to the farming in Xuzhou. If you don't say that the food and grass in the farming are abundant, Pengcheng will be difficult to defend."

Han Hao was not very happy when he heard Xiahou Dun's praise.

He just responded helplessly: "Although there is a lot of food and grass, we can only stick to it. Lv Bu's army is outside, and they are fighting steadily. Hao really doesn't know how to retreat from the enemy."

Xiahou Dun has some flaws, but it does not hinder his ability to lead the army, at least he still has basic judgment.

But seeing what Han Hao said, he just shook his head and said: "If it's just Lu Bu, let alone fifty thousand troops, even if there are more soldiers and horses, I can still hold this city and wait for rescue."

"However, now that Yuan Shu is in great power, we all know that it is difficult to have reinforcements. Although I have the heart to fight to the death, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the city will fluctuate and we will not be able to defend!"

Although Han Hao has some abilities, he is not Guo Jia Xunyu after all, and he only feels helpless after hearing the words of the general.

It is even more clear that what Xiahou Dun said is true.

The people of Xuzhou have had a hard time these years!

From Cao Cao's first attack on Xuzhou, to Tao Qian letting Xuzhou and Liu Bei, and then Lu Bu attacked Liu, and Cao Cao attacked Lu. It is said that Pengcheng has changed its master many times in just a few years.

Now that the army is coming again, and there are no reinforcements outside, can the people in Pengcheng be expected to fight to the death with you, Xiahou Dun?

I'm afraid it's just a fool's dream!

Keeping seems to be really hard to keep!

How to do it?

Han Hao was also a little confused.

Fortunately, this confusion didn't last too long, and the letter from military advisor Guo Jia was rushed to Xuzhou.

Chapter 324 The Shadow of Prosperity

"No one can fight a doomed war!"

Outside Xiapi City, Chen Gong, who was going out with the army this time, told Lu Bu this way.
