The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 148
Yuan Shao was really dumbfounded. Although Yuan Shao had the largest territory and almost the largest population, he couldn't bear Liu Xiao's aggressive aura now. The main reason was that he was too passive. This situation was too passive. Mr. Pingyuan and Qinghe The fall of the county made Yuan Shao feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. This meant that his entire chest was exposed in front of Liu Xiao. He could stab him anytime and anywhere...

"No, no matter how much we pay, we must take back the Qinghe Plain! We must take it back!"

Yuan Shao threw the cup on the ground viciously, and roared: "Immediately send an order to Bingzhou and Youzhou to dispatch [-] troops from the two states to Jizhou to help out, and recruit another [-] troops from Jizhou. I want to fight Liu Xiao again! "

"My lord..."

Tian Feng smiled wryly and said: "Even recruiting [-] troops is of no use. In this battle, the elite combat strength of our three states is ten to seven. Even if we recruit [-] troops, they are all new troops lacking training. He has never been on the battlefield before, so how can he be the opponent of Qingzhou's elite? Even if Youzhou and Bingzhou still have some elite forces, they still need some to defend against the Xianbei, Huns and other tribes in the north..."

"The key is……"

Ju Shou shook his head and said: "My lord, in the battle of Jinan County, most of the grain and grass stored in our southern Jizhou counties were destroyed. It is impossible to maintain a big war just relying on the grain and grass in the north of Jizhou. We have already lost this battle." Now, the top priority is not to regain the lost ground, but to temporarily make peace with Liu Xiao, hoping to stop the fighting and plan for the future!"

"Use pictures to bring the sun to the future, use pictures to bring the sun to the future!"

Yuan Shao shouted: "Ju Shou, you already know how to come to Japan, what else? Could it be that Liu Xiao won Qinghe County and Pingyuan County for nothing?"

Ju Shou said in a deep voice: "My lord, didn't Cao Cao also lose Tai'an County? He even lost Pei County on the highway. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. It's nothing to be proud of for a while. After all, Liu Xiao's foundation is too shallow. We have plenty of opportunities to avenge our hatred, why is it just a matter of time?"

"Opportunity? Where did the opportunity come from?"

Yuan Shao asked dissatisfied.

Ju Shou said in a deep voice: "My lord, although Liu Xiao seems to be in a good mood, he is also full of dangers. He is too sharp. Now he has not only turned against us, but also offended Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. Our three families occupy the north, west and south respectively. On three sides, Liu Xiao has already formed a siege. The former Liu Xiao robbed Cao Cao's Tai'an County, because Cao Cao was competing with Lu Bu for the Yuzhou area, and he had no time to go east. Afterwards, he had an expedition to Chang'an Zhangji, so Liu Xiao took advantage of it; Now that Cao Cao has defeated Zhang Ji and captured Chang'an, he must return to Shiheluo, prepare to capture Yuzhou, and then launch an attack on Liu Xiao to avenge his previous death, now what we have to do is!"

Jushou paused for a moment and said: "Combined with Cao Cao, we formed a north-south siege of Qingzhou. We launched an attack from Jizhou to the Qinghe Plain; Cao Cao launched an attack from Yanzhou and Yuzhou to Tai'an and Lu County. In this way, the two armies Like a huge pair of pliers, holding Qingzhou in the middle, even Liu Xiao with three heads and six arms can't resist the attack of our and Cao Cao's nearly 20 troops!"

Yuan Shao's heart was shocked, Jushou was indeed Jushou, Liu Xiao wanted to unite with Cao Cao to counter Yuan Shao, but now Jushou also wants Yuan Shao to unite with Cao Cao to counter Liu Xiao, all wanting to kill with a knife!
Tian Feng took Jushou's words and echoed him: "My lord, what Jushou said is true. Now Cao Cao has just conquered Lu Bu and Zhang Ji, and the consumption is too great to attack immediately; we also consume a lot of money like Liu Xiao. When you need to recuperate, if you fight Liu Xiao desperately at this time, then Cao Cao and Cao Mengde will definitely get the cheapest. When our strength recovers and the two sides join forces to fight Liu Xiao, Liu Xiao is definitely not our opponent. Even at a critical moment, Yuan Gonglu was persuaded to send troops from Huainan again, threatening Xuzhou, so that Xuzhou's troops did not dare to go north, and Liu Xiao was at a loss for avatars, and the day of defeat is not far away!"

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, he was quite moved by Tian Feng and Jushou's plan.

Yuan Shao stood up and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then temporarily suspend the recovery of Qinghe County and Pingyuan County, and order Gao Gan and Shenpei to sit in Bingzhou to train soldiers and horses; Jushou and Yuan Tan sit in Youzhou; Gu and Zhugong sit in town Yecheng, recuperate, recruit troops, train them strictly, and after harvest next year, unite with Cao Cao and attack Liu Xiao together!"

"My lords, there is no time to delay. Since you want to unite with Cao Cao, you should immediately send an envoy to meet with Cao Cao with your letter in hand to discuss the alliance. If you are afraid of delay, there will be changes. After all, in today's troubled times, there may be changes at any time. If it happens, as long as you join hands with Cao Cao, Liu Xiao will have nothing to fear!"

Tian Feng continued.

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, and ordered someone to go to Xudu with a letter to meet Cao Cao.

At this time, after Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, he led the army to attack Chang'an in one go, and defeated Zhang Ji in one fell swoop. Zhang Ji was seriously ill and died in the war. Tens of thousands of Xiliang elite fell apart overnight, and most of them surrendered. Cao Cao pacified Chang'an and defeated Lu Bu. Now the entire Sili and Yanzhou have all been owned by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is also full of ambitions now. Although he lost a Tai'an County, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. It will only lose its effect on containing Liu Xiao. However, Tai'an County is small, with many mountains in its territory and a small population. In Chang'an, Cao Cao is definitely making a lot of money.

Cao Cao also harbored resentment towards Liu Xiao for usurping Tai'an County. However, Cao Cao is no better than Yuan Shao. He really has the talent of Wang Zuo. Now that he has been fighting for years, whether it is Sili or Yanzhou, the consumption is too high. The population is less than [-]% of the peak. The people are displaced and the warehouses are empty. How easy is it to take back Tai'an County?Today's Liu Xiao has grown wings, and is no longer the lonely family he used to be. He sits on two states, has [-] to [-] soldiers, and civil servants and generals can be found everywhere.

Cao Cao would not launch an attack on Liu Xiao when Liu Xiao was at his most powerful. Living in a land that is too large, and with a powerful force like Yuan Shao watching from the side, he might make a wedding dress for someone else.

Wait, anyway, now the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is in his own hands, and he has occupied the two prefectures of Sili, Yanzhou, and the Yingchuan, Ruyang, and Puyang areas of Yuzhou. He only needs to recuperate and recruit refugees, and it will take less than two years to restore people's livelihood. If you don't ask for a minister, you will be invincible.
