One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328 Yuan Shao's Worries

Yuan Shao was very annoyed the past few days, he couldn't eat and sleep well, and his mouth was full of blisters from anxiety.

A big battle was about to break out, and he couldn't help being annoyed.

Originally, Yuan Shao thought that this year's war was just a small fight between Qin Yi, Yang Feng and Niu Fu, so he didn't take it seriously.

At the beginning, he threw Qin Yi to Lu County as if he were sent away.After Qin Yi left Yecheng, he quickly forgot about this person.Although he also coveted Bingzhou, he didn't think Qin Yi could make waves in Bingzhou.The place was too chaotic. It was uncertain whether Qin Yi could save his life when he arrived in Bingzhou.Maybe, it won't be long before Qin Yi will return to Yecheng in tears and beg himself to give him an official position.

Besides, the imperial court in Yecheng had just been established, and Yuan Shao was too busy consolidating his position to pay attention to Qin Yi.

Unexpectedly, that kid Qin Yi would not stop wherever he went. In just four months, he actually took down the land of four counties, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into Yang Feng, so that Yang Feng voluntarily surrendered to Ye. City court.Even Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army seemed to have some friendship with Qin Yi.

In this way, Yuan Shao re-examined Qin Yi.This guy has some skills.It would be a great help if he could be used as his own.

Therefore, Yuan Shao extended an olive branch to Qin Yi. Not only did he readily agree to let Qin Yi become the prefect of Dangjun, he also made an exception and recommended Qin Yiyao to the title of Yulin Zhonglang.

That boy Qin Yi was also very witty, and quickly responded to Yuan Shao's kindness. Not only did he write a warm thank you letter to Yuan Shao, but he also gave Yuan Shao a generous gift.

Yuan Shao was very pleased.He is indeed experienced in the officialdom. At the beginning, Qin Yi was a smelly and tough kid. No matter how I tried to win him over, he would not be moved.Now, he finally got the hang of it and knows how to hug my thigh.

Therefore, Yuan Shao couldn't ignore Qin Yi anymore.When Qin Yi asked him for help, he ordered Hanoi County to send troops to help Qin Yi resist Niu Fu.

However, Yuan Shao still didn't care much about Niu Fu's plan to start a war with Qin Yi.It would be best for Qin Yi to defeat Niu Fu. Even if Qin Yi loses, he has nothing to lose.Maybe it can make Qin Yi completely rely on himself when he is desperate.

However, the situation changed suddenly, and Niu Fu didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he didn't go to Bingzhou for the time being. Instead, he attacked the city and occupied Hanoi County, assuming he wanted to take Hanoi County into his pocket.

Now, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still.Hanoi County is Wang Kuang's territory, and Wang Kuang is Yuan Shao's diehard loyalist.In the future, Yuan Shao still wants to rely on Hanoi County as a bridgehead for advancing troops to Luoyang and Chang'an.Hanoi County must not be lost.

If there is only war in Hanoi County, Yuan Shao can definitely mobilize the army to Hanoi County.However, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou also added chaos to Yuan Shao at this time, and suddenly mobilized a large army to Chen Bing on the border between Youzhou and Jizhou.Compared with Niu Fu, a "guest" who came from afar, Yuan Shao paid more attention to Gongsun Zan, a "regular guest".

Gongsun Zan has tens of thousands of soldiers and great ambitions. If he invades Jizhou, he will be completely finished.

Therefore, Yuan Shao urgently ordered Wang Kuang to return to Hanoi County to guard, and ordered Qin Yi to send troops to support Hanoi County.As for whether Shangdang County would fall after Qin Yi dispatched troops, Yuan Shao could no longer care about it.His main energy was put on dealing with Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shao mobilized all the troops he could mobilize in Jizhou, and confronted Gongsun Zan on the northern frontier.

After arranging everything in the court, Yuan Shao wanted to personally go to the northern line to defend Gongsun Zan.Just the day before Yuan Shao planned to leave for the north, he received a letter from Qin Yi.

At the beginning, Qin Yi only said that he would send troops to Hanoi County immediately, and Yuan Shao was very pleased.However, Qin Yi then analyzed Dong Zhuo's real intention of using troops this time.He pointed out that Dong Zhuojun's ultimate goal was Yecheng, and his strategy was to start a war on the southern and northern fronts at the same time, attacking Yecheng.

After reading Qin Yi's analysis, Yuan Shao broke out in a cold sweat.He immediately summoned his staff to discuss the matter.

At this time, Yuan Shao's men had already gathered advisers and generals like rain.The advisers he relied on most were Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji.He has sent Tian Feng and Shen Pei to the northern front to assist Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Qu Yi in leading the army.Yuan Shao invited Jushou, Xu You, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji, who were still in Yecheng, to the mansion overnight to discuss matters.

Yuan Shao told everyone about Qin Yi's judgment.After listening to Yuan Shao's narration, Ju Shou said: "My lord, although Qin Yi's judgment is shocking, but after thinking about it, it is reasonable. I think that my lord must not be taken lightly, and the defense of Yecheng should be strengthened."

Guo Tu also said: "Hanoi County is too close to Yecheng. Regardless of whether Niu Fu can capture Hanoi County in the end, Yecheng cannot be underestimated."

Yuan Shao said: "I don't want to garrison heavy troops in Yecheng, but Gongsun Zan in the north is eyeing him. He poses a much greater threat to Jizhou than Niu Fu. All our troops have already been transferred to the north. If they are transferred from the north again Soldiers and horses coming to Yecheng, not to mention the fatigue of the long distance, will also cause a lack of defense and be taken advantage of by Gongsun Zan."

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, everyone lowered their heads and pondered.

After a while, Xu You suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Benchu, why not order Cao Mengde to send troops to defend Yecheng?"

As soon as Xu You said this, Guo Tu immediately glared at Xu You: "Xu Ziyuan, are you going to sell Ye City to Cao Cao?"

"Guo Gongze, what do you mean by this? If you don't understand clearly, I will definitely not forgive you!" Xu You confronted Guo Tu and yelled at Guo Tu.

Guo Tudao: "Then Cao Cao has always been ambitious. My lord wants to go north to defend against Gongsun Zan, but you want to transfer Cao Cao to Yecheng. Treating guests is easier than seeing them off. If Cao Cao takes the opportunity to occupy Yecheng, what should my lord do? I know you and Cao Cao Good friends, could it be that you intend to sell the owner for glory?"

Xu You was furious: "Shut up! I have friendship with Meng De, but everyone in the world knows that Xu You, Ben Chu, and Cao Mengde have known each other since they were young, and they have never been inseparable. Plan for him. Besides, Meng De is not as nasty as your Guo Gongze said!"

Guo Tu wanted to continue arguing with Xu You, but Yuan Shao shouted, "Ziyuan, Gongze, stay here!"

Only then did Xu You and Guo Tu stop.

Yuan Shao had a headache.He has many advisers now, but they are divided into two factions, one is from Hebei, mainly composed of Han Fu's former team, and the other is from Nanyang, belonging to Yuan Shao's fellow villagers.The two factions would quarrel endlessly every time they planned something, and no one would accept the other, which made Yuan Shao extremely annoyed.

Especially Xu You, relying on his childhood friendship with Yuan Shao, was very domineering in his words and actions, and did not take other people seriously.This Guo Tu doesn't make people worry, he seems to be against Xu You at every turn.

After taking a few breaths, he calmed down his irritable mood, and said: "Meng De and a certain are close friends, and he is also loyal to the emperor. Last year when he attacked Dong Zhuo, he was the one who advocated righteousness. A certain is very reassuring towards Meng De."

When Xu You heard Yuan Shao's words, he glanced at Guo Tu proudly.Guo Tu snorted coldly, turned his head away, and did not look at Xu You.

"However, it is not appropriate to directly transfer Meng De to Yecheng to garrison troops." Yuan Shao suddenly changed his voice again, "Meng De is a foreign minister, if he enters Yecheng, it will definitely make people think that the enemy is going to attack Yecheng. Add to the anxiety of the officials and the people."

Ju Shou suddenly said: "Why don't you let Cao Cao garrison troops to sing songs."

"Chaoge?" Yuan Shao was startled, pondered for a while, and nodded: "Although Chaoge belongs to Hanoi County, it happens to be located at the junction of Hanoi, Jizhou, and Yanzhou, and is the southwest gateway of Ye City. Mengde stationed Chaoge , without attracting attention, and can guard Yecheng. Well, let him go to Chaoge."
