Han Dao world

Tian Feng did not give up, and once again proposed to welcome the court, but the topic became Yuan Shao's entry into the court and rectification of the country.

Almost no one responded to his proposal, even Xu You didn't bother to talk to him.

The examiner looked at Tian Feng and Ju Shou several times, but did not get any response, so he had to go out in person, suggesting that Yuan Shao send troops to cross the river and capture Dongwuyang.

Zang Hong rebelled according to Dongwuyang, and rejected Yuan Shao's surrender, so he must be suppressed.

Yuan Shao was in the middle of his arms, and immediately dispatched troops and generals, preparing to go south.

Faced with this situation, Tian Feng was helpless.

If the judge said that he went south to Yanzhou, he could still object.Putting down Zang Hong's rebellion, he has no reason to oppose it.

And once Yuan Shao's army arrived in Yanzhou, it would be very difficult to get him back.

At the end of the meeting, Tian Feng went out, looking up to the sky and sighing.

Chapter 275

Riding a fast horse, he sent an imperial edict from Yecheng into Xu County and sent it to Cao Cao.

Zang Hong rebelled according to Dongwuyang. General Yuan Shao personally led an army to the south to suppress the rebellion, and ordered Cao Cao to lead his troops to cooperate.

Cao Cao had a headache after reading the edict.

In the edict, he was not called General Zhendong, nor Yanzhou Mu, or even Yanzhou Governor, but Dongjun Taishou.

This was the position Yuan Shao gave him at the beginning.

In short, this is Yuan Shao asking him to express his position and make a choice between him and the court.

If he chooses the imperial court, he will be an enemy of Yuan Shao.Yuan Shao's goal will not only be Zang Hong in Dongwuyang, but also Cao Cao and the whole Yanzhou.

He had just conquered Yongqiu and captured Chenliu, and the other counties had not had time to settle down yet, but Yuan Shao only needed a letter to acquire most of Yanzhou.

Wu Zi, governor of Jiyin, Yuan Si, minister of Chen, Yuan Yi, governor of Jibei... At present, almost all the guardians of the counties and states in Yanzhou are Yuan Shao's supporters, or they are directly Yuan's family members.

Between him and Yuan Shao, those people would choose Yuan Shao without hesitation.

The only thing the imperial court can give him is the imperial edict and seal ribbon.

Cao Cao has one head and two big ones.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao didn't come up with a solution, so he had to call his subordinates to discuss the matter, and test the meaning of everyone by the way.

As he expected, after reading Yuan Shao's edict, most of the crowd changed color, indicating that the strength of the two sides was too great to fight.

If you refuse, you will be destroyed.

Seeing that everyone was about to surrender, Cao Cao was so disheartened that he even wanted to die.

He missed Cheng Yu very much.

When Yuan Shao wanted to force him to deliver the pledge, only Cheng Yu firmly opposed it.

It's a pity that Cheng Yu is now the Prime Minister of Dongping, and he is in Fan County, not Xu County.

At this time, Guo Jia stood up, walked up to Cao Cao, took Yuan Shao's edict, and tore it apart.

With a "hiss", the silk book was torn in half with a crisp sound.

Everyone's eyes turned around, looking at Guo Jia in surprise.

Some people showed disdain in their eyes.

Guo Jia didn't even look at them, and unhurriedly tore the edict into pieces, and threw them into the brazier.

"Feng Xiao, you are..." Cao Cao was puzzled.

Guo Jia shook his hand. "My lord, our army has just recovered Yongqiu, and the food supply is cut off. How can we spare any energy to attack Dongwuyang? Besides, Zang Ziyuan (Zang Hong) was originally Yuan Benchu's former army, and now he is rebelling against the city. Yuan Benchu ​​should go to suppress it. Why do you need your lord to help? After taking Dongwuyang, Yuan Benchu ​​will return Dongwuyang to the lord?"

Cao Cao smiled wryly.

Dongwuyang was originally a county of Dongjun, but it was in the north of Dahe.When Lu Bu entered Yanzhou, Dongjun followed suit, leaving only Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan counties in Henan.Yuan Shao sent troops to assist him in suppressing the rebellion, including Zang Hongjin who occupied Dongwuyang.

After Zang Hong took Dongwuyang, he didn't leave, obviously he didn't intend to return it.

Now Zang Hong rebelled according to Dongwuyang, and Yuan Shao commanded his troops to conquer Dongwuyang himself. After conquering Dongwuyang, can Dongwuyang be returned to him?

Obviously it is impossible.

Therefore, even if he was willing to bow his head to Yuan Shao, the governor of Dongjun would only be a humiliation.

It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, he just doesn't have the strength to turn against Yuan Shao.

"Since the lord is unable to help the battle, and there is no possibility of taking Dongwuyang back, why should he care about him? If Yuan Benchu ​​can take Dongwuyang, he will take it himself. If not, how is this edict different from a rag?"

Cao Cao nodded and remained silent.

Someone gets up. "Sacrificial wine tore up the imperial edict of leader Yuan, how can the lord reply to the leader? If the leader sends an envoy to question the crime, what should I do?"

Guo Jia chuckled. "I tore up the imperial edict, and everyone can see clearly. If Yuan Benchu ​​sends envoys to inquire about crimes, I will naturally shoulder the responsibility. You don't have to worry about it. In fact, I did this for Yuan Benchu's sake. If Yuan Benchu ​​is wise enough, he will understand. "

Cao Cao was puzzled. "Feng Xiao, why do you say that?"

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows. "My lord, does this imperial edict have a year name?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly realized.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The emperor established his capital in Anyi and changed it to Yuan Jian'an. The edict has been sent to all states and counties.Xu County had already received the imperial edict, and Yecheng naturally also received it, but Yuan Shao's imperial edict used the Jian'an year name.

Since the Jian'an year name is used, it shows that Yuan Shao recognizes the imperial court.

Then there is a problem with Yuan Shao's self-proclaimed edict.

In the past, the Son of Heaven was ruled by Li Jue and could not be independent. Yuan Shao did not recognize the imperial edict, and regarded himself as a chariot general.Now that the emperor is out of trouble, and there is no clear edict to authorize Yuan Shao, he still regards himself as an edict, which is naturally out of etiquette.

Although everyone knows that this may be Yuan Shao's intentional probing, but Guo Jia said so, you can't say he is wrong.

Anyway, Guo Jia is willing to take responsibility, even if Yuan Shao asks the crime, just ask Guo Jia, it has nothing to do with them.

They are more concerned about Cao Cao's reaction.

If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao turned against each other, it would definitely affect their interests.

Guo Jia immediately proposed that Cao Cao did not need to send troops to assist, but would just sit and watch the changes in Xu County.

Judging from the current situation, even if Yuan Shao can gather the strength of Yanzhou, it will not be an easy task to win Dongwuyang.

Siege has never been easy, and Zang Hong is not an ordinary person.If it weren't for this, Yuan Shao wouldn't let him lead his troops into Dongwuyang.

It's just that no one thought that when Yuan Shao lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, Zang Hong turned his back on him.

Of course, you can verbally support Yuan Shao. After all, everyone is still an ally, and Zang Hong rebelled because Cao Cao attacked and killed him, so he advocated super.

Everyone thinks this plan is feasible.

As long as Cao Cao doesn't turn against Yuan Shao, their vital interests will not be affected for the time being.

After the meeting, Cao Cao left Guo Jia behind.

Guo Jia's actions just now only solved the superficial problem, not the root cause.

Guo Jia did not hesitate to ask Cao Cao a question directly.

"Master, between the Son of Heaven and Yuan Shao, who do you choose?"

Cao Cao twisted his fingers and remained silent for a long time.

If he had to choose, he would definitely be willing to choose the Son of Heaven.

The emperor worshiped him as the general of Zhendong and the leader of Yanzhou Mu, and the meaning of esteem was obvious—even if it was just a matter of expediency.Yuan Shao directly called him the governor of Dongjun, but he didn't intend to let him be the governor of Dongjun.

Even if he was willing to become a minister, Yuan Shao would not take him seriously.

The question is, can the Son of Heaven defeat Yuan Shao and pacify the world?

If not, he still has to surrender to Yuan Shao in the end, so why bother?

"My lord, is it not a good choice?"

Cao Cao hummed. "Is there a good strategy for filial piety?"

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"Wait for the result of Emperor Meiji's suppression of the rebellion." Guo Jia's eyes became sharp. "If the emperor can put down the rebellion of the Xiongnu with three thousand cavalry, the destiny of the great man is still alive, and there is still a possibility of rejuvenation. The lord should serve the emperor and compete with Yuan Shao, which will be a contribution to Yuntai in the future. If the emperor fails to put down the rebellion, the great man will My strength is exhausted, my lord should find another plan."

"Is there anything else he can do?"

"Yes." Guo Jia sighed. "Yuan Shao loves his youngest son, and the people of Jizhou are unwilling to support Yuan Tan. There will be civil strife in the future. Even if Yuan Shao takes over the Han and dominates the world, the lord still has room to move."

Chapter 276 It's Better To Go Back

Cao Cao wrote to Yuan Shao in reply.

After the war, Chen Liuhuang was left in ruins, his soldiers were short of food, and he was helpless.I would like to stay in Xu County, one to farm, and one to stop Yuan Shu for the lord.

The words were nice, and none of the soldiers were sent, but Cheng Yu, who was stationed in Fan County, was ordered to take precautions.

Nevertheless, the situation remains dire.

Just as Cao Cao was worried, the prefectures of Jiyin and Shanyang successively pledged their allegiance to Yuan Shao, either sending troops or sending food to support Yuan Shao's siege of Dongwuyang.Even Chen Guo, which belonged to Yuzhou, was not far behind, and Yuan Si, Prime Minister of Chen, directly pledged his allegiance to Yuan Shao.

No one took Cao Cao, the Yanzhou Mu, who was appointed by the court, seriously, and they were not even interested in informing him.

Even Chenliu County, where Xiahou Dun was the prefect, had discordant voices.

In this regard, Cao Cao could only open one eye, close one eye, and pretended not to see.

Before killing Bianrang, the Yanzhou people had already betrayed him.Now that Zhang Chao has been killed and Yongqiu slaughtered, the people of Yanzhou hate him to the bone, so there is no loyalty at all.

He shrank his main force to the Yingchuan and Chenliu areas, watching the development of the situation anxiously.

At the end of the first month, Yuan Shao personally led an army and surrounded Dongwuyang.

He sent someone to persuade him to surrender again, hoping that Zang Hong would not be stubborn and burn everything.

Zang Hong once again rejected him.

Yuan Shao thought that he would come here in person to give Zang Hong enough face, Dongwuyang would be defeated without a fight, and then he would be able to cross the river and sweep Yanzhou.Unexpectedly, being embarrassed by Zang Hong, he became a little annoyed, and immediately ordered to attack the city.

Soon, Yuan Shao regretted it.

Zang Hong's preparations were more adequate than he had imagined. Dongwu Yangcheng was impregnable and repelled more than a dozen attacks in succession. Yuan Shao lost his troops and lost his generals.

Yuan Shao was unable to get off the tiger, and became more and more furious. He ordered a fierce attack and called the counties of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou to help out.

-

Cao Cao felt relieved when he learned that Yuan Shao's siege was frustrated.

To siege a city is to go all out in one go, then decline again, and exhaust three times.If you can't see success with one blow, it must be a difficult siege battle.

At this time, news came that Yuan Shu sent General Qiao Rui to attack Chen Guo.

Chen Xiang and Yuan Si were originally placed by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu always regarded Chen Guo as his territory.Yuan Si surrendered to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu felt that he was embarrassed and sent Qiao Rui to lead his troops to seize it.

Yuan Siben was a scholar, so he didn't know how to march and fight, and he knew that Yuan Shu was unreasonable, so he ran away before Qiao Rui entered the country.

Cao Cao was in the middle of his arms.

He led his troops into the state of Chen and sent letters to Yuan Shao.

Please be at ease to attack Dongwuyang, the leader. Chen Guo has me, and he must not let Yuan Shu move forward.

A few days later, Cao Cao met Qiao Rui in Chen County.After a fierce battle, Qiao Rui was defeated and left. Cao Cao not only took Chen Guo, but also captured most of Runan.

When Yuan Shu heard the news, he was so angry that he cursed, but he didn't dare to send troops to confront Cao Cao again.

After thinking about it, he sent someone to Xuzhou to contact Lu Bu.

-

Xiaopei.

The red rabbit and horse flitted across the grass like the wind. Lu Bu opened his bow and set his arrows. The stringing sound continued, and the feathered arrow had already hit the prey.

A fat deer fell to the ground with an arrow, rolled on the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

Lu Xiaohuan rode his horse and rushed over, flew off the horse, saw Lu Bu's arrow shot from the deer's left ear and shot out from the right ear, he couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding.
