Ragnarok is born

And similar to Xiang Juan, Sun Ce also raised troops in Jiangdong, and then became famous all over the world.

Although Cao Cao knew that Jiangdong's strength was a bit weak, after all, it could not be compared with the Central Plains in the place of the Fourth World War, and Sun Ce's record was a bit watery, but this did not prevent him. Cao Cao gave Sun Ce an evaluation of "a lion is difficult to fight for the front".

He remembered that he had worked hard for most of his life, and now he had just unified the Central Plains, yet he was facing the huge threat brought by Yuan Shao, who had captured all the four prefectures of Hebei.

Moreover, there was a crack in the relationship between himself and the emperor that was difficult to mend. There was no such scene when the two parties seemed to be intimate when they first welcomed the emperor.

But Cao Cao also knew very well that the emperor had not long since left his life as a puppet and was trapped in Luoyang City. He was at an unsustainable moment, so he would be grateful to those who supported him at the most critical moment.

And if that person was replaced by Yuan Shao, I believe that in the eyes of the emperor, he would also be extremely grateful to Yuan Shao.

However, once the most difficult crisis has passed, the emperor naturally wants to control the power in his own hands.

This is almost an intuitive instinct as a politician; therefore, the relationship between the two parties is no longer as harmonious as before, and collisions began to appear.

And recently, Dong Cheng and others' continuous small actions made Cao Cao feel bored for a while.

Dong Cheng, with high vision and low abilities, great ambition but few talents, is the most trusted relative of the emperor. Relying on his own status, Yang Feng, Hanxian and others cannot tolerate even the hero who helped the emperor escape from Chang'an and return to Luoyang.

He thought that the matter of the "clothes belt edict" was done very secretly, and he was ignorant of the news that he had already exposed.

Why is he still in constant connection with Zhongji, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, Wu Shuo and others, intending to act secretly and fight against himself?

These people combined are not as good as Liu Bei Liu Xuande.

When Cao Cao thought of this, he couldn't help snorting.

This Liu Bei, I just let him go after Yuan Shu's remnants, but he never expected that he would attack and kill Xuzhou Governor Che Zhou, and then support himself.

And also sent people to contact Yuan Shao, one south and one north to fight against him.

Sure enough, it was still Yuan Shao, this friend of his childhood, who was the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered in his life.

Everything happened one after another, disturbing people's hearts. Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao were more difficult than the other, but Cao Cao had enough confidence to knock down these people one by one, win the final victory, and dominate the world.

He calmed down and asked curiously, "Then according to Fengxiao's inference, does Yu Ji want to fight Sun Ce?"

Guo Jia shook his head, and replied helplessly, "Everyone and I have deduced, but we still don't know what Yu Ji's plan is."

"Taoism, ancient witchcraft, and pre-Qin alchemy all have a great origin. Yu Ji is one of the three great immortals in the world. He stands at the pinnacle of all cultivators. No one knows that he is proficient in How many secret techniques."

"Perhaps Yu Ji saw unimaginable changes through some secret skills, so he wanted to take advantage of the fire?"

Cao Cao showed a look of astonishment, and asked in surprise, "This is strange, what will happen to Jiangdong?"

"Even someone like Yu Ji couldn't help but abandon what he's done for decades and end up in person?"

Guo Jia blinked, smiled wryly, and did not answer this question. Instead, he talked about another topic, "Yuan Benchu ​​has been persecuted recently, and we are all worried that he will start a life-and-death battle with our army in the future."

"So before that, our army should clean up, there are hidden targets around."

"Liu Bei must not stay. Xuzhou should return to the control of our army, instead of letting Liu Bei jump up and down."

"The top priority is to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou."

Hebei, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao is five years older than Cao Cao, and this year happens to be the age of knowing his fate.

At the beginning of his character, he was born in Ruyang, Runan (now Shangshui County, Henan Province). He was born in the top aristocratic family in the world, the Yuan family in Runan, which has four generations and three lords.

Starting from his great-great-grandfather Yuan An, five of the four generations of the Yuan family worshiped the Sangong. It can be said that the family background is prominent, and few people can match it.

Yuan An served successively as Situ Sikong, his son Yuan Chang was Sikong, grandson Yuan Tang was Taiwei, great-grandson Yuan Feng was Sikong, Yuan Kai was Taifu, and the fourth generation occupied the third position, known as "four generations and three princes".

Yuan Shao was Yuan Feng's concubine son, and later he was adopted into the lineage of his uncle Yuan Cheng, who died young. It was precisely because of this kind of background that Yuan Shu felt deeply.

As a young man, he raised Wang, made friends with party members and chivalrous men, and made good friends with Cao Cao, and opposed the dictatorship of the eunuch "Ten Permanent Attendants", which made him perfectly fit the status of an heir to the Yuan family in the eyes of scholars all over the world.

With these early experiences, after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yuan Shao went to Kanto and became the leader of the anti-Dong alliance; after the anti-Dong alliance was disbanded, Ji Ji occupied Han Fu's Jizhou and started a war with Gongsun Zan.

And wiped out Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, and became the most powerful warlord in the world with the four states of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou.

This is the time when Yuan Shao is most satisfied. In his opinion, as long as he can defeat Cao Cao, unify the entire north, and control the emperor Liu Xie who is far away in Xuchang, he may be able to replace him.

Change of dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao, who was sitting behind the case, gasped for breath, with an elegant smile of a successful person on his face, and looked at the many counselors in front of him who were discussing non-stop with a contented smile.

Xun Chen, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Xu You and others glared at each other without the slightest demeanor of a scholar.

Tian Feng's beard and hair were all stretched out, and he glared at Xun Chen, Guo Tufengji and others who were facing him and said, "I don't have any objection to my lord's decision to send troops to fight Cao Cao; but I feel that now is not the best time to send troops."

"Liu Bei attacked and killed Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and sent Sun Qian to Hebei, intending to join us in fighting Cao Cao."

"In order to fight against us in Hebei, Cao Cao must want to eliminate all bad factors. Under such circumstances, he will definitely conquer Liu Bei first. Only after defeating Liu Bei can he wholeheartedly fight with us."

"We should mobilize all our troops to attack Cao Cao's rear when Cao Cao is attacking Liu Bei, and we can't take care of both.

Guo Tu laughed twice, and said disdainfully, "Yuan Hao's thinking is too simple."

"As soon as our army became an ally with Liu Bei, we abandoned them and let them be attacked by Cao Cao with all our strength. Is it a benevolent act to turn a blind eye?"

"Secondly, the counselors under Cao Cao's command are not simple people. Haven't they imagined that this kind of situation will happen?"

Standing beside Tian Feng, Ju Shou couldn't help retorting, "Cao Cao led the army to attack Liu Bei, it's not something we can decide."

"And when we take advantage of the battle between them, we send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear, which will undoubtedly reduce Liu Bei's burden."

"In this way, isn't it just a teacher of justice to attack Cao Cao's injustice, so how can there be any place that violates benevolence and righteousness?"

Guo Tu's laughter stopped abruptly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

The examiner shook his head, persuading both parties, "Masters, the Lord is just waiting for the result of our discussion, so don't lose your courtesy."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said with a happy smile, "Our army is sitting in the four prefectures of Hebei, Qinghai and Youzhou. It has a strong army and horses, and its strength is far better than the withered Central Plains."

A trace of worry flashed across Tian Feng's face when he heard the words.

It is true that the Central Plains have been battling wars year after year, and it is withered, but it is under such circumstances that Cao Cao undoubtedly has the most powerful army in the world.

Such an army, whether it is psychological or military quality, is naturally much better than other teams.

If Yuan Jun and Cao Jun started a big battle, then when the battle situation fell into a stalemate, Cao Cao's army obviously had too many advantages compared to Yuan Shaojun, and could calmly face all sudden abnormal situations.

Although Hebei is powerful, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Cao Cao's strength in one blow, but judging from the appearance of the lord, it is clear that it has not attracted much attention.

Tian Feng's heart was suffocated, and he resisted and retorted, "My lord, if we send troops after Cao Cao defeats Liu Bei, we will have missed a good opportunity."

"In addition, Cao Cao is good at using troops and is unpredictable; Cao Jun has experienced many battles and has rich experience, so he must not be underestimated."

The joy on Yuan Shao's face hadn't faded away, and when he heard such words suddenly, his smile couldn't help disappearing gradually.

Seeing this, Xu You and Guo Tu secretly laughed.

Although Tian Feng was full of schemes, he obviously didn't know how to adapt.

When the lord is at his happiest, how can he disobey his will, speak rudely, and hurt the lord's confidence?

Don't you know that what the lord cares most about now is that Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who followed him in the past and only knew how to echo him, have become the biggest confidant who can fight against him in separate courts?

Yuan Shao stared at Tian Feng with displeasure, and said sarcastically, "Could it be that Yuan Hao thinks in your heart that I, Yuan Benchu, am not Cao Mengde's opponent?"

Tian Feng was startled, and immediately knew that he had aroused Yuan Shao's suspicion unintentionally, and hurriedly apologized, "Feng has absolutely no such thoughts in his heart, I just hope that the lord can think twice before acting."

Yuan Shao didn't have the joy he had before, he just felt that he was in a good mood, which was completely destroyed by Tian Feng's few words.

Looking at the counselors with different expressions in front of him, he waved his hands depressedly and said, "Forget it, let's take a break today and wait until tomorrow to continue discussing this issue."

Everyone retreated one by one inexplicably.

Looking at the counselors who filed out, Yuan Shao's face showed a trace of undetectable worry.

Volume 51 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Doom

Yuan Shao suddenly felt that although his advisers were resourceful, they played a decisive role in the process of unifying Hebei.

However, there is no perfect person in the world. Although they have made great contributions to themselves, everyone also has weaknesses.

Tian Feng is resourceful and can propose different methods for any different situations; but his character is too upright, and he always likes to put forward opinions that are contrary to his own, regardless of his own face.

Xu You is a well-known party member. He defected to himself early and has been running around for his own career. However, he has an insatiable personality, always likes to take advantage, and never has the intention of satisfying and repenting.

The judge is an upright person, so he didn't wait to see Han Fu, Mu Hanfu in Jizhou in the early years. It was not until he got Jizhou that he entrusted him with the confidant's responsibility.

But because of his personality, he acts too domineeringly, and it is difficult to get along with other colleagues, so he can be regarded as a lonely minister.

Feng Ji has an extraordinary will, and once he makes up his mind, he will resolutely implement it and be extremely decisive, but it is precisely because of this that he seems a bit headstrong, unable to listen to any persuasion from others, and unable to coordinate the overall situation.

As for Jushou, there are a large number of civil and military men from Hebei standing behind him, who have become the most powerful force under his command; for the sake of balancing power, no matter how outstanding his ability is, I dare not trust him too much now.

The rest of Guo Tu, Xun Kan, and Xin Ping also had their own problems because of their backgrounds and personality flaws.

After looking around, I found that after the successful unification of Hebei by the counselors I relied on, various contradictions appeared.

It will no longer be like at the very beginning, competing with Gongsun Zan for the rule of the entire Jizhou, and everyone will work together to externalize.

Yuan Shao's thoughts suddenly wandered, and his mind turned to Cao Cao. He didn't know how Cao Aman balanced the conflicts among his advisers?

A trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in his heart. From the perspective of harmony, he has undoubtedly lost a lot compared to Cao Cao.

I hope that when the big battle starts later, this situation will not hold me back.

**** **** ****

Yu Ji's primordial spirit, which was mostly cured, was suspended high in the void, staring blankly at the sky above the general's mansion, the majestic aura that horrified people.

That is a terrifying deterrent countless times more terrifying than this "immortal-level" master who stands at the peak of the world's cultivators and is known as one of the "three great loose immortals in the world".

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the "Tianzun" of the upper realm!

A thought came to his mind, as long as this plan is successful, he will be able to break all the shackles in one fell swoop, and achieve a realm that no one has been able to achieve for hundreds of years, which can be compared to the "Tianzun" realm.

Facing the "Heavenly Venerable" who is suspected to have descended into the world in the general's mansion, Yu Ji was amazed by him, but at the same time he was extremely envious.

Some kind of inexplicable jealousy even emerged from his heart that had been turbulent for decades.

As a cultivator in the world of mortals, why do I have to go through all kinds of hardships and tribulations to be able to cultivate to a "Sanxian" level powerhouse.

Such a state, although in the world of mortals it is in, is already the highest state that all practitioners can imagine.

But how can it be compared with "Tianzun"?

Fortunately, I am much luckier than other practitioners, and I still have a chance to change my fate against the sky.

As long as the plan goes well, at that time, even if the unknown "Tianzun" who has a close relationship with the Sun family descends into his real body, he will be unable to help him.

He even had a little idea.

According to rumors, generally speaking, all the "Shangxian" who have just descended into the world of mortals are unable to exert their due strength.

If this rumor is true, then doesn't it mean that he may be able to carry the huge aura of the advanced stage, and in turn overwhelm that "Heavenly Venerable"?

Thinking of this, even Yu Ji's state of mind, which had been practiced for decades, couldn't help but tremble, throbbing so hard that he couldn't help it.

Could it be that Yu Ji, a Daoist of Taiping, can really become, the most powerful cultivator in history?

There was a wave of approaching primordial spirit in the void. Through comparison, it was clearly Zuo Ci, that shameless old Taoist priest.

Yu Ji felt helpless for a while.

These days, Zuo Ci's primordial spirit has been wandering in the void, and at the same time harassing himself from time to time.

I don't know, what exactly does he want to do?

Zuo Ci's narrow laughter quickly came from the opposite side, and he asked inexplicably slyly, "Oh, old man, I and a few comrades beside me are going to Wu County soon, and I want to pay my respects to the majesty of Da Sanren .”

"But I don't know, what do you think of Yu Sanren?"

Yu Ji recalled what he did with Zuo Ci in front of the emperor in the Xuchang Palace, and replied bluntly, "Whether it is Jiangdong or Yu, you are not welcome to come to the old Taoist Zuo Ci."

Zuo Ci was silent for a moment, and said casually, "I see that your mood swings are a bit severe, and it seems that you have signs of madness."

"Why haven't we met in such a short time, is there any surprising change?"

Yu Ji's heart trembled when he heard this.

Although Zuo Ci's words were full of sarcasm, it was like a shocking lightning bolt that split Yu Ji's deluded heart.

That's right, why did I inadvertently come up with the idea of ​​wanting to compete with "Tianzun"?

Although according to the legend, the strength of the "Tianzun" who descended into the world does not exist, but his realm is still there, and his strength may not be lost too much.
