Chapter 236, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to stand this
Xu You has always been talented, otherwise he would not have rebelled so quickly in the Guandu Battle.
Today's matter is of fundamental importance. Lao Xu gritted his teeth and looked at the people of Hebei as he stood up and spoke slowly.
"My lord, the Southern Expedition is a major event. It is also my lord's mission to show the world who can be entrusted by the Han Emperor!"
"The whole army marched south, although it was a pleasant journey, but Qingyou wanted to merge with the four states. In addition to Jizhou, there was Panheng, a Xianbei tribe in Youzhou, many of whom were Gongsun Zan's former tribe."
"The Taishan soldiers in Qingzhou have always been enemies of Hebei!"
"Bingzhou Zhangyang is the main culprit for letting His Majesty go south to Xuchang. In this way, although the Lord has won a new victory, the rest of the places must be guarded."
"By the way, there is still Guanzhong. Although it is exhausted now, this place is the real place where the great Han Dynasty thrives. Send a general and tens of thousands of soldiers to occupy this place!"
"My lord is thinking, would it be more appropriate if we divide our forces and advance?"
Xu You said whatever he thought of, and every sentence made sense, which aroused Yuan Shao's deep thinking.
Guo Tu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted a clever word in his heart. In his opinion, the division of troops that Lao Xu wanted was actually a division of Ju Shu's power. He quickly echoed the words.
"My lord, what Ziyuan said makes sense. Hebei is so powerful that even if we attack from all directions, we are bound to win. In Qingzhou, as long as a general or General Gao Lan leads the troops, we can defeat Zang Ba and the Dongjun behind him."
Tai Shi Ci!"
"General Zhang He, I heard that when he was young, he traveled to Chang'an, led troops into Guanzhong, occupied Chang'an, and also led troops from Hulao and Luoyang to surprise Xuchang."
"As long as two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the lord personally lead the troops, great things can be accomplished!"
Halfway through Guo Tu's words, Jushou already had a wry smile on his face, understanding what his mortal enemy Gang Jing was thinking.
Jushu also knew that the Southern Expedition was probably the biggest event that Yecheng had accomplished in one battle. If he wanted to take such a big credit and achieve great things, he had no choice but to give in.
Unlike Guo Tu, who puts factions and his own interests first in everything, what Jushu thinks in his heart is that his lord Yuan Shao can re-establish the Han Dynasty, become the first minister of Zhongxing, or create a new dynasty.
For the sake of the Yuan family's car, he was willing to give in a little and compromise.
"Jushou, do you think Gongze and Ziyuan's words make sense?"
"Lord, I think what the two of them said makes sense. Guanzhong and Qingzhou are the two wings of Hebei. Flying together on both wings and advancing in the middle is the best strategy!"
"I have no objection. Everything is decided by the Lord."
"Okay, since that's the case, it's settled. Yan Liang will lead an army of 50,000 as the vanguard and occupy the crossing of the Yellow River. The rest of the troops will follow me in Hebei!"
"Zhang He, Gao Lan, each lead his troops and marches into Qingzhou and Chang'an!"
"Hold on, my lord, Cao Cao won the emperor. Although he temporarily occupied the central position, in fact, it also planted the seeds of great disaster."
"Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou has always been the lord of the Iron Alliance. From Xiangyang to Wancheng and then to Xuchang, it is only a few hundred miles away. If Liu Biao attacks, Cao Cao will be even more embarrassed!"
"My lord's brother Yuan Shu, together with Xuzhou Lu Bu, were repeatedly humiliated by Cao Cao. You can also write a letter to let the two of them join the army. These two are now in decline. It is their blessing to be able to embrace my towering thigh in Hebei!"
"In this way, all the states and counties in the world will attack Xuchang. If Cao Cao doesn't hand over the emperor, he will be besieged on all sides in an instant!"
"poison!"
"Made, it's so poisonous!"
After Ju Shou finished speaking, Guo Tu and Xu You had a thought in their minds at the same time. They both mourned for Cao Cao almost at the same time. Xu You even thought about bringing Fang Guang to Yecheng to serve as a treasure trove before Cao Mengde's defeat.
A big deal to raise.
Yuan Shao's face was even more glowing. Being able to completely defeat his former younger brother had always been the deepest thought in his heart. Now it seems that if he does this for another six months, his younger brother will be heading west.
"Okay, that's it. Everything Ju Gong said makes sense!"
"Everyone, go and get ready. My youngest son Yuan Xi has recovered from a long illness. He has agreed with his wife to have a family dinner to celebrate!"
It was rare for Yuan Shao to show tenderness. When he talked about his youngest son Yuan Xi, the corners of his mouth turned up.
He is a reserved person, and he only shows his emotions in public, and he only does this when talking about his youngest son.
The civil servants in the tent couldn't hide their joy when they saw that their lord was so angry today, and they immediately began to flatter and congratulate him together.
Xu You has the loudest voice and the most confidence. The joke is that the good wine at Mrs. Liu's place was obtained by Xu You from Xuchang. Nowadays, a bottle of Xuchang Shaojiu is hard to find in the world.
On Mrs. Liu's desk, there is even a perfume that the lady is full of praise for.
With the care of Yuan Shao's family members, Xu You felt that the way his lord looked at him recently was much gentler!
The civil and military officials from Hebei dispersed, and the four courtyard pillars were busy ordering troops for drills and making preparations for advancing troops.
It was a rare occasion for Guo Tu and Ju Shou to get together to discuss important matters.
Only Xu You, in the name of allocating money and food, returned to the mansion first. This number is the boss of the gang. The first thing he did after returning home was to send someone to bring a secret message to Fang Guang.
Xu Ziyuan wrote everything in the letter about today's events and the hope that Fang Guang would run away quickly and come north to Yecheng! He only hoped to stand with Fang Guang forever.
Cao Cao has not yet seen the huge side effects of Xuchang taking Emperor Xian back one year in advance.
Cao's army drilled day and night, and only waited for the autumn grain to be harvested before marching south to Wancheng to fight.
Fang Guang's thoughts were all focused on major events such as workshops and city construction. Cao Cao saw that Xuchang City was busy with traffic, and the market taxes collected by Cao Ren and Cao Hong were more than ten times more than he thought. Fang Guang became more and more stone-cold.
satisfy.
A new city in Xuchang is like a tree, growing every day. Hundreds of thousands of people see the prosperity of Xuchang, and respect Fang Guang more.
Even Sima Fang, Zhong Yao and others who had always been arrogant from the noble family who came with Emperor Xian were frightened day by day. They didn't know why Fang Guang was so proficient in city construction.
Liu Bei stabbed Emperor Xian in the back that day, completely resolving the bad blood between him and Cao Cao.
Cao Mengde reciprocated the favor and gave him the title of General Da'erzuo in the name of Xiandi.
This was an official at the central level of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Compared with the governor of Xuzhou, he was even more honored in Da'er's heart.
It is a pity that Xuande has no soldiers. The three thousand steps that came slowly with Zhou Cang arrived in Xuchang, and half of them were missing.
General Zuo only had 1,500 soldiers, which was much shabby compared to Zhao Yun who selected the front camp, which made Liu Xuande very angry.
Among the common people, especially the people of Xuchang, his rival Fang Guang is definitely the favorite among the people due to his big ear reputation.
The Gongqing family, although they saw the emperor's uncle being polite on the surface, in their hearts they still regarded him as someone who weaves mats and sells shoes. Almost no one came to visit Xuande Residence.
This makes Big Er, who is eager to open up the situation and is full of emotional intelligence and eloquence, useless in terms of emotional intelligence.
Xuande, who thought too much and got too little, had lived in Xuchang for twenty days. His eyes were dull and he showed signs of depression.
On this day, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi got into a quarrel in the back room of their home over a bottle of perfume that was selling like crazy on the market in Xuchang. Mrs. Mi, who believed in her extraordinary family background, had long been unhappy with Mrs. Gan and even lifted the dressing table.
Turns out, she is actually a female crow from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
