"Cao Mengde, it's almost done." Seeing Sun Jian and Cao Cao bullying Yuan Shu like this, Yuan Shao couldn't stand it. Although he looked down on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was also his brother after all.
When Cao Cao and Sun Jian bully Yuan Shu like this, isn't this a slap in the Yuan family's face?
"Haha, what does this mean? Brother Wentai and I are not bullying the road. We are worried that the road will not be able to drink honey and vomit blood and die." If Yuan Shao had spoken before, Cao Cao might have told Yuan Shao A face.
But now that the two of you are at odds, why are you still giving me face?
"You!" Yuan Shao also pointed at Cao Cao angrily and was speechless.
In the picture, after Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu, he stationed his troops in Xuzhou. He and Chen Deng personally visited Zheng Xuan's home and asked him to write a letter. Zheng Xuan complied and wrote a letter and paid it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to Jizhou overnight to look for Yuan Shao for help.
Logically speaking, Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shao should not help Liu Bei, but due to the order of Zheng Xuan, he had to go.
Then the civil and military officials gathered together to discuss how to raise an army to attack Cao Cao.
Adviser Tian Feng suggested: "The troops and cavalry have been fighting for many years, the people are tired, and there is no accumulation of food in the warehouse. It is impossible to revive the army. It is better to send people in advance to offer victory to the emperor. If it cannot be passed, it is said that Cao Cao is across the road from our king, and then the troops are stationed in Liyang and even in Hanoi. After collecting the disputed ships, repairing the weapons, dispatching elite troops, and stationing at the frontier, within three years, major events can be decided!"
Tian Feng believed that Yuan Shao now controlled the four northern states, and the years of war had led to insufficient logistics, so he could not go to war with Cao Cao.
It should develop steadily, and after three years, it can rely on its strong strength to defeat Cao Cao.
But another counselor under Yuan Shao, Shen Pei, believed that Yuan Shao was wise and powerful, and now that he was strong, defeating Cao Cao would be easy. Why wait for another time?
However, Ju Shou believes that the key to victory is not to be strong. Cao Cao's laws are implemented and his soldiers are refined, which is different from when Gongsun Zan was in trouble. Now he abandons the good strategy of offering victory and raises unknown soldiers, stealing them for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and not taking them.
But Guo Tu, Yuan Shao's last counselor, believed that adding troops to Cao Cao would not be called nameless. Justice should be determined in a timely manner. He hoped that Yuan Shao would follow the words of Zheng Shangshu and join forces with Liu Bei to destroy Cao Cao. This would be in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people. Very exciting!
Tian Feng and Jushu did not agree to send troops, but Shenpei and Guo Tu thought it was appropriate to send troops, and their reasons were different.
Several people were arguing, and Yuan Shao was unsure about paying attention.
Suddenly Xu You and Xun Chen came in from outside, and asked Xu You and Xun Chen: "Zheng Shangshu has a letter, asking me to raise troops to help Liu Bei and attack Cao Cao. Do you want to raise troops?"
Xu You and Xun Chen responded in unison: "The Ming Dynasty used the masses to suppress the few, attacked the weak with the strong, and defeated the Han traitors to support the royal family. This is how to raise an army."
The two men's answer was in line with Yuan Shao's wishes, and he ordered Shen Ping to appoint Feng Ji as the commander, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Xu You as counselors, Yan Liang and Wen Chou as generals, with a total of 150,000 horsemen and 150,000 infantry, a total of 30 elite soldiers. Wan, hope to set off from Liyang.
At the same time, Chen Lin was ordered to write an appeal against the thieves.
Kong Rong, who had taken refuge with Cao Cao, heard that Yuan Shao was going to launch an army to attack Cao Cao, so he suggested to Cao Cao: not to fight, but to make peace.
Xun Yu, a counselor under Cao Cao, asked Kong Rong: "Why should Yuan Shao negotiate an alliance if he is useless?"
Kong Rong replied: "Yuan Shao's scholars are broad and the people are strong. His subordinates such as Xu You, Guo Tu, and Shen Pei are all wise and resourceful in every discipline. Tian Feng and Ju Shou are all loyal ministers. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the bravest of the three armies. The rest are high-ranking. Zhang He, Chunyu Qiong and other famous generals all over the world. What do you mean by a useless person?"
But Xun Yu in the picture smiled and replied: "Yuan Shao was too many but not tidy, Tian Feng was stubborn and made mistakes, Xu You was greedy but not wise, the judge and matchmaker were expert but without plans, the results were ineffective according to the rules, and those who killed many people were not equal in power."
There will be changes in appearance. Good appearance, ugly writing, and bravery can be captured in one battle. Even if there are millions of mediocre people in July, what is the point?"
Sure enough, Cao Cao ordered Liu Dai to take Xuzhou under his banner, while he personally led an army of 200,000 into Liyang to resist Yuan Shao.
But Liu Dai was defeated by Zhang Fei after he got drunk.
After Liu Dai returned to Yanzhou, Cao Cao wanted to kill him, but Kong Rong suggested to Cao Cao that if he killed Liu Dai today, for fear of losing the morale of the generals, it would be better to recruit Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao first and then attack Xuzhou.
Cao Cao obeyed and sent Liu Ye to Xiang to recruit Zhang Xiu. The next day, Yuan Shao also sent an envoy to recruit Zhang Xiu.
Jia Xu asked Yuan Shao's envoy how the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was going.
