Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 700

Now Cao Cao can be regarded as being played first by Yuan Shao, but it is naturally impossible for Cao Cao to really let Yuan Shao succeed.

However, when Cao Cao spoke like this at this moment, he also wanted to embarrass Jusuke and make him feel guilty. Then he might use some methods to influence Jusuke's judgment.

When Jushou heard Cao Cao's words, he looked a little embarrassed. Of course he knew Yuan Shao's intentions for such an arrangement. In fact, Jushou had also persuaded Yuan Shao before, and he suggested that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao should do their best to attack Zhu Wei this time.

In this way, Zhu Wei, the southern enemy, can be weakened, and Yuan Shao can gain a reputation of righteousness. In the future, he can force Cao Cao to send the emperor to Yecheng, or use this as an excuse to send troops against Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao had actually seen that Cao Cao's previous rhetoric of agreeing to move the emperor to Yecheng was probably a bluff, but he was forced by Cao to have no way to repent and not to send troops, so Yuan Shao's current arrangement for sending troops can be regarded as a good one. Revenge for Cao Cao's deception.

However, Jushou felt that even though Cao Cao might be trying to fool, Yuan Shao could still make the fake come true.

For Yuan Shao, the most important thing is an excuse to send troops, so Yuan Shao did his best in the battle against Zhu Wei with Cao Cao, showing his sincerity. After the war is over, if Cao Cao violates the excuse of transferring the emperor, That would be Cao Cao's fault, and Yuan Shao would have a real reason to send troops against Cao Cao.

In addition, the joint attack of Cao Cao's army on Luoyang, where Zhu Wei is located, will also allow Yuan Shao's army to take the opportunity to cross the natural danger of the Yellow River.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao did not adopt Ju Shou's suggestion under the persuasion of other counselors, so the current situation resulted.

Now that Cao Cao said this in front of his face, Ju Shou was naturally a little embarrassed, "Forgive me, Mr. Yuan, but Mr. Yuan wanted to come to Luoyang together, but now the young master who is my lord's favorite is seriously ill. I really don't want to take care of him. The two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the forerunners, and when Young Master's illness abates, Duke Yuan will definitely come to Luoyang to meet Duke Cao!"

Jushou knew in his heart what Yuan Shao was thinking, but now he had to find an excuse for Yuan Shao to cover up. After all, Yuan Shao was his lord, and he still needed to give his lord some face.

"So that's the case, but it's fucking Menglang. It's human nature for Duke Yuan to love his youngest son. In this way, Duke Yuan will also use troops in Luoyang! It's so good, it's so good. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid this time The battle with Zhu Wei will not end in a short time. Zhu Wei's army has formed such a formation outside Hulao Pass. Even if our army breaks through this camp, Hulao Pass will be difficult to break! Alas, this battle is not easy. , I just don’t know when Duke Yuan will be able to bring his troops to join us, now only Duke Yuan’s army can defeat Zhu Wei’s army!”

Cao Cao didn't believe Jushou's words at all, but he also grasped Jushou's words, only thinking that Yuan Shao was really delayed because of this, so Cao Cao couldn't help showing his thoughts, but he was going to fight Zhu Wei's army here for a long time They faced off and waited for Yuan Shao to arrive with his troops.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Cao Cao's rear is the old base camps of Yingchuan and Gunzhou next to Luoyang, so the transportation of grain, grass and logistics materials on Cao Cao's side is naturally convenient, and he really doesn't mind a long-term confrontation with Zhu Wei.

Cao Cao didn't know that Zhu Wei could purchase food through the Three Kingdoms game system. From Cao Cao's point of view, Zhu Wei's army has gone deep into Luoyang alone. Although he still has connections with Jingzhou, Cao Cao can definitely send troops to cut off the grain road between Zhu Wei and Jingzhou.

Then if Zhu Wei's army is trapped in Luoyang, as long as it takes a long time, Zhu Wei's food and grass will not be enough, and at worst Zhu Wei can withdraw his troops to Nanyang. If the operation is good, the main force of Zhu Wei's army can be wiped out in Luoyang.

Such a battle could also weaken Zhu Wei's power and prevent Zhu Wei from posing any threat to the Central Plains. Therefore, Cao Cao really didn't mind a long confrontation with Zhu Wei.

At the same time, Cao Cao hopes to pull Yuan Shao's army over. It is naturally impossible for Cao Cao to provide food and grass for Yuan Shao's army. So Yuan Shao's army comes from the north to Luoyang, and the food and grass also need to be transported from the north to the Luoyang front line.

The longer the war is delayed, the more food, grass and materials consumed by Yuan Shao's army will be. This will naturally cause Yuan Shao's strength to be greatly damaged after Zhu Wei is eliminated.

Cao Cao knew very well that he and Yuan Shao would eventually fight, so it was strategically meaningful to consume Yuan Shao's food and supplies in advance.

Now Cao Cao wanted to drag Yuan Shao into the battle in Luoyang with all his heart. Anyway, it couldn't be the current situation, otherwise he would have made Yuan Shao a fisherman for nothing.

So Cao Cao deliberately put himself in a very low position. Facing the defensive posture of Zhu Wei's army now, it seemed that he could only have a chance to defeat Zhu Wei after Yuan Shao's army arrived, otherwise he had no choice.

Ju Shou frowned again when he heard the words. This time Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's two armies jointly attacked Zhu Wei. Although Yuan Shao seemed to be driven away, since the two sides sent troops, they couldn't just give up.

If the combined forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are unable to deal with Zhu Wei this time, then what will the people of the world think and think? If Zhu Wei launches a massive counterattack, then Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fall into a passive position.

So now that the war has begun, we can only fight to the end. If Zhu Wei is not solved, the situation in the world will be irreversible, and the reputations of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will plummet.

In this case, if Cao Cao insisted on delaying the war and insisted on waiting for Yuan Shao to come to Luoyang, Jushou felt that he had to write a letter to Yuan Shao and asked Yuan Shao to bring troops to help the battle.

However, if he really did this, Ju Shou suddenly felt that it would be a good result. He had originally hoped that Yuan Shao would lead his army to participate in this war. If the battle situation really developed like this, when Yuan Shao's army came, everything would be over. It can develop as he expected.

Of course, Jushou hadn't thought of Cao Cao's true intentions yet. He just thought that Cao Cao didn't want to face Zhu Wei alone, and didn't want to fight Zhu Wei alone, so that Yuan Shao could just sit on the sidelines.

If Yuan Shao really came with a large army, then Jushou would actually think of a way to make this battle not only consume Cao Cao's troops, but also eliminate Zhu Wei's main force.

As Yuan Shao's important adviser and advisor, Jushou would also consider Yuan Shao's interests wholeheartedly.

Therefore, after a quick thought in his mind, Ju Shou also responded with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, Mr. Yuan is also very concerned about this battle. Now the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are just forwards. The army in the rear is already preparing. Duke Yuan will join Duke Cao to fight Zhu Wei in Luoyang soon!"

"Oh, very good, very good, then when Duke Yuan's army arrives, we will destroy Zhu Wei again! But now..., alas, General Wen Chou, that general of Zhu Wei, Pang Yan, is not unusual, and our army is really There is no one to fight against, alas, today it seems that there is no need to test the reality of Zhu Wei's army, why don't we retreat to the camp together!"

After hearing Ju Shou's words, Cao Cao was satisfied with his attitude, but he still turned to look at Wen Chou and deliberately provoked him again. He deliberately provoked Wen Chou to challenge Pang Yan in front of the battle...
