Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

"Hahahaha, Zhongmou, brother believes in you and has the strength to guard against Shouchun."

Sun Ce stepped forward boldly, patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, and said in relief.

Hearing this, the corner of Sun Quan's mouth twitched violently.

To be honest, Shiwan at this time is just a child with a very simple mind.

In his opinion, although his father was cold, his elder brother Sun Ce was strong enough to calm down Jiangdong, so mighty.

He, Sun Zhongmou, only needs to follow the steps, study hard, and grow up vigorously, without thinking too much about other issues.

However, what Sun Quan didn't expect was that his farewell to Sun Ce turned out to be a farewell forever.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

When Sun Ce was actively mobilizing troops, Yuan Shaoke was not idle.

Under Yuan Shao's call, the soldiers of Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou quickly completed their mobilization and gathered in the north of the Yellow River.

Of course, the Hebei army was able to assemble so quickly, and naturally the strong support of many aristocratic families was indispensable.

Although most of the local aristocratic families in Yecheng were moved away by Cao Cao, the aristocratic families in the other three prefectures still had a high degree of support for Yuan Shao in their hearts.

After learning that Yuan Shao was about to go south to launch a decisive battle against Cao Cao, all the aristocratic families took the initiative to help Yuan Shao gather troops and provide money as aid.

Yuan Shao, who received these aids, naturally would not forget the benefits of these aristocratic families.

As a promise, Yuan Shao said that after defeating the damned Cao Aman, he would double the rewards to these aristocratic families.

With such powerful soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao naturally had to put up a big battle.

For this reason, he also specially organized a big military parade.

Although Yan Liang, Wen Chou, the two top generals, died at the hands of Zhao Yun, Yuan Shao still had Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong and others under his command.

As for civil servants, although Shen Pei died, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others were still alive.

Anyway, from Yuan Shao's point of view, his army is very powerful, and defeating Cao Aman must not be a problem.

Yuan Shao went south in a big way, won't his territory encounter problems if it stumps him?

Really not.

After eliminating Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao unified the four prefectures in Hebei. Although the battle of Yecheng was slapped by Cao Cao, the foundation and strength lay here after all.

Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain bandit, dare not give a fart now. Without Gongsun Zan, the Black Mountain Army with more than [-] troops is no match for Yuan Shao at all.

Therefore, Zhang Yan recently planned to put down his flag and drums, and even for this reason, he began to prevent the bandits under his command from going down the mountain.

I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will give him a big bandit suppression before going south.

After the military parade was over, Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and prepared to lead his soldiers south to write the most magnificent song of the four states.

However, accidents always come first.

Just when Yuan Shao thought that Cao Cao was under the enemy's back and dared not act rashly, news came from Guanzhong.

Under the urging of the saint warrior Zhong Yao, all the small princes in Guanzhong united and launched the most vicious blow against Li Jue and Guo Si.

Subsequently, the power of Li Jue and Guo Si declined sharply.

The most abominable thing is that Zhong Yao not only choleraed the small princes in Guanzhong, but even turned Fan Chou into rebellion.

For Fan Chou, the most vicious of the Xiliang Army f4, Li Jue and Guo Si are also three points afraid of him.

After Fan Chou was instigated to rebel, Li Jue and Guo Si retreated sharply.

At the end of the story, Guo Bang died at the hands of the traitor.

Li Jue was a little stronger than Guo Bang, and led the remnant soldiers to flee to Huangbai City, but was finally defeated by Zhong Yao.

Li Jue and Guo Si's power had been out of whack long before this, and their demise was not a big problem for Yuan Shao.

However, what worried Yuan Datou the most came.

Saint fighter Zhong Yao's combat power is by no means comparable to that of normal people, and it has shown in many aspects.

Just like now, after Zhong Yao commanded Fan Chou, Duan Yan and a group of Guanzhong princes to eliminate Li Jue and Guo Si, instead of leading them to garrison Guanzhong, he encouraged these people to go north and attack Bingzhou.

When it comes to going north, Yuan Shao's teeth itch with anger.

The pain of the Battle of Ye City has not gone away. If Bingzhou is stolen by the small princes of Guanzhong again, Yuan Benchu ​​will really lose face in the entire circle of princes in the future.

There is no way, in order to prevent the small princes in Guanzhong from going north, Yuan Shao had no choice but to send the governor of Bingzhou to lead his troops back to Bingzhou to strictly prevent the defense.

If you want to say that the most depressed person in this whole thing is none other than the senior officials.

He worked hard to gather the troops under Yuan Shao's order.

The result was good, Yuan Shao directly gave him another one-click recovery.

The army under his command was also extremely speechless about this, and they did not expect to become like this.

But it can't be blamed on others.

After all, the culprit was Saint Zhong Yao.

Yuan Shao wanted his subordinate Chen Lin to write an essay to scold Zhong Yao, but Chen Lin refused directly.

Zhong Yao is almost a leader in the literary world, especially this wave of Guanzhong pacification directly raised Zhong Yao's prestige in the entire Han Dynasty to a new level.

Besides, apart from his relatively strong kidneys, Zhong Yao has nothing else to be criticized by others. Naturally, Chen Lin, a troll, won't make fun of herself.

This is going to be a pain for Yuan Shao, he is so depressed that he is dying, but he can't even scold Zhong Yao for a while.

But fortunately, under Yuan Shao's command, after all, there are still some people who understand him and some people who are fierce about him.

This person is naturally the rhythm master Guo Tu.

I saw Guo Tu walking into Yuan Shao's tent with small steps.

Yuan Shao is a person who pays attention to etiquette. If other people walk with this pace in front of him, they will definitely be severely punished.

But since this person is Guo Tu, the punishment is naturally exempted.

No way, Guo Tu's title of Master of Rhythm is not given for nothing. In addition, someone gave him the nickname "¨`Master of Psychology"!

"My lord, please don't worry, Cao Mengde is definitely not your opponent."

"Gong Ze, in fact, it would be fine if it was just because of Cao Mengde, but did you know that Liu Jingsheng actually killed my envoy directly."

"Does this mean you have to choose to fight against me to the end?"

It turned out that half an hour ago, Yuan Shao had just received information that Liu Biao had killed the envoy he sent, and openly resisted him and chose to support Cao Cao.

Originally when this happened, according to Yuan Shao's temperament, he should have lost his temper.

However, for some reason, Yuan Shao's heart was suddenly filled with loneliness.

Liu Biao's image to the world has always been a conservative person, and even such a cautious person stood on Cao Cao's side.

This was a fatal blow to Yuan Shao.

It can be said that the small princes in Guanzhong are not on the stage, or they can be said to be bewitched by Zhong Yao.

As for Liu Biao, he is a respectable clan member of the Han family and the ruler of a state, occupying Jingxiang, and no one in the world knows his name.

More importantly, a person like Liu Biao would not express his opinion easily.

But even so, in this battle of Guandu, Liu Biao blatantly stood on Cao Cao's side.

What followed brought Yuan Shao deep self-doubt and distrust.

After Guo Tu heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

But how could Yuan Shao think that this was actually Cao Cao's plan.

Liu Biao never killed the envoy sent by Yuan Shao!

Although the envoy was refused by Liu Biao to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, Liu Biao did not do anything else to him. (See the previous chapter for the messenger)

However, when the envoy was returning, he passed by the border of Yuzhou and was suddenly robbed and killed.

Afterwards, the spies from the school affairs office deliberately released information to let Yuan Shao know the wrong information that "the envoy was killed by Liu Biao".

The reason is to let this hero of Hebei have deep self-doubt!

It was never the last straw that broke the camel's back. Coupled with the previous battle of Yecheng, Yuan Shao still failed to convince himself in the end.

On this full moon night, deep self-doubt arose...

Chapter 175 Jizhou Army is in Action, Sun Ce's Death

"My lord, even if Cao Mengde and Liu Jingsheng join forces, they will definitely not be our opponents."

"In my opinion, my lord just thinks too much."

"How can we be invincible with the military strength of our four states and the bravery of our generals?"

Guo Tu said confidently.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao sighed.

"I also understand everyone's support, but the strength of this guy, Cao Ah, should not be underestimated now."

"If we lose again, I am afraid that even with the power of our four states, it will be difficult to fight against Cao Cao."

Yuan Shao sighed.

"My lord, now our army still has the upper hand, how can we say defeat so easily?"

It has to be said that at critical times, the Rhythm Master's ability is still very strong.

When Yuan Shao lost confidence, Guo Tu cheered him up without hesitation and supported his belief.

"Hahaha, that's true."

"I, Yuan Benchu, have been upright all my life. How could I be defeated by Cao Aman?"

Finally, under Guo Tu's continuous encouragement, Yuan Shao regained his belief in the overlord of Hebei.

"My lord, just give it a go, our army will not retreat!"

Guo Tu cheered again.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes became more and more fighting, and the two began to study the issue of strategic deployment enthusiastically in the camp.

"My lord, the bandits Cao have dispatched Cao Ren, a general who is good at defense, to lead an army to Guandu."

"According to the spies' report, Cao Jun had already reinforced Guandu City half a year ago, and it looks like a solid fortress at this time."

"If our army wants to attack Guandu, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties."

Guo Tu frowned and said.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao was also a little upset.

The city of Guandu is solid, not to mention that Cao Jun began to deploy half a year ago. What does this mean?

It shows that as early as half a year ago, Cao Cao had already planned to use Guandu as the place of decisive battle on the battlefield.

Now that this scene is slowly unfolding, Yuan Shao can't help but feel a little caught off guard.

"Gongze, do you have any tricks to fight against Cao Jun?

Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu.

After Guo Tu's operation tonight, Yuan Shao obviously regarded him as the number one adviser in his account.

Guo Tu thought for a while, then responded:

"Ming Gong, according to the current situation, Guandu will not be conquered for the time being, but if we fight for a long time, our army has the land of four states, and the vast land and abundant resources can fully support it."

"The intention of Sun Ce stationing troops in Shouchun couldn't be more obvious. He obviously wanted to sneak attack Xuchang at any time." 123

"In this way, Cao Aman will fight on both sides, and he will be too busy to take care of himself. After a long time, there will be great chaos."

"In my opinion, Duke Ming should now station our army's grain and grass in a safe place, and prepare for a long-term battle with Cao's army."

"In this way, everything is ready."

Guo Tu said slowly.
