Chapter 86 (1/2)
First of all, it's Yuan Shu, of course. Since last year's defeat in Ruyin City, Yuan Shu has been at the expense of others. When he learned that it was Sun Jian's Jiangdong army who calculated himself at that time, he did not hate Sun Jian to death with Yuan Shu's careful eye. After returning to Yuzhou, he recruited soldiers and horses, and was always ready to capture Yangzhou and kill Jiangdong again.
At this time, Yan Xiang, the first think tank of Yuan Shu, secretly contacted Shanyue of the Tu Nationality in Jiangdong, lured them to besiege the two cities behind Sun Jian, and then drove his troops to capture Yangzhou. In order to consolidate the rear, Sun Jian was inevitably unable to scruple with Yangzhou. Once Yangzhou was won, Jiangdong fell completely under Yuan Shu's knife and axe.
However, what Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang did not expect was that Chen Renxian resolved the crisis of Poyang City, and then blocked the 100000 mountain crossing outside Yuzhang city with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, which gave Sun Jian the leeway to control. Outside Yingshang City, he was attacked by Guo Jia's night attack. If he had not been re appointed by Yuan Shu as general Ji Ling, he would have died in Yingshang It's out of town. However, the tens of thousands of people that Yuan Shu managed to accumulate again were also destroyed. Yuan Shu completely fell to the level of a second-class Lord, and he had no strength to raise his head.
The results of the two battles of Yingshang city and Yuzhang city were spread to the princes of various routes, and each of them had his own thoughts.
Yanzhou Dongjun city.
Looking at the two silk cloths placed in front of him, Cao Cao's face was cloudy and sunny, and he said to a cadre under his seat: ”but in a year's time, I didn't expect sun Wentai to develop so fast!”
Cao Cao's left-handed generals were the top one in the column. He was very tall and had a heroic appearance. He was the confidant of Cao Cao, Xia Houdun. Sitting under XiahouDun, a man with a big body was a little bigger than Xia Houdun, but his appearance was full of flesh and blood, which was the villain Dianwei introduced by XiahouDun. Then there are Cao Cao's trusted Generals: Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, lejin, Li Dian, Yu ban, etc.
Compared with a large number of Cao Cao's generals, a group of counsellors sitting on the right side of Cao Cao are much colder. The man sitting on the top of the head was thin and pale, with only two whiskers on his lips, showing his master's tact. He was the most valued counselor and playwright of Cao Cao. They are man Chong, Lu Qian and Mao Xun.
Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and a faint red color appeared on his face. He said, ”my Lord, according to my subordinates, Sun Jian's potential has become, and I'm afraid it's hard to restrain it. Although Yuan Shu is weak now, our army still needs him to hold down Jiangdong. Xuzhou is the granary of the world. If the Ming government does not take it, Sun Jian will take it! ”
Cao Cao nodded. Although the Yuzhou under Yuan Shu's command was quite envious to Cao Cao, considering Sun Jian's strong power, if he took Yuzhou, it was hard to guarantee that Sun Jian would not send troops to attack.
All of a sudden, Cao Cao looked at the silk cloth on the right and sighed, ”Chen Zici is really brave and resourceful. He cherishes that all the sages belong to Sun Jian.”
Xia Houdun and other generals blushed when they heard Cao Cao's words. Only a white faced young general sitting at the end of the table stepped out, clasped his fists and said, ”my Lord, why is Chen Ren so ambitious? I think that Chen Ren is only luck that makes him so famous. If he meets in the battlefield, he will be killed at last!”
Cao Cao, however, was one of his family's sons, Cao Xiu, who was quite brave. Cao Cao loved him very much, and let him live with his sons. For his proud statement, Cao Cao did not agree. At the moment, he just said with a smile: ”the culture is strong and brave, and I know nothing about it.”
However, Cao Cao's veteran generals were not so polite. Xia Houdun and others were people who fought in the battlefield all the year round. Of course, they knew that Chen Ren's strength was not as simple as Cao Xiu's luck. They all looked at each other with sarcasm.
When Cao Xiu saw the appearance of Xia Houdun and others, he was so arrogant that he was flushed with anger. No matter whether he was the youngest generation in the crowd, he immediately yelled at the generals: ”do you look down on me so much? Dare to compete with me
At this time, even if Cao Cao spoiled Cao Xiu again, he couldn't see it anymore. He immediately said, ”Wenlie, don't be presumptuous! Get out of here
Cao Xiu, who was reprimanded by Cao Cao, did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's orders, so he had to fight back and quit the meeting hall angrily. However, those veteran generals will not care about anything with Cao Xiu, a child. They are all laughing in silence. Dian Wei said coldly: ”I don't know the height of heaven and earth!”
After all, Cao Xiu is Cao Cao's favorite son. If someone else said that, Cao Cao would be disgraced. But Cao Cao also knew that Dian Wei had a straight temper, so he did not blame him. Then he continued the discussion with others. Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai, ”in Mr. Zhang's opinion, we should form an alliance with Sun Jian, and then Xu Tu Xuzhou?”
The actor nodded his head and said, ”however, now that Ming Gong has already owned Yanzhou and Qingzhou, if he can win Xuzhou again. At that time, even if we were to fight with Dong Zhuo, we would not be afraid of Sun Jian. ”
”Xuzhou?” Cao Cao fell into a deep thought, frowned and said, ”but Tao Qian, that old man, is also very popular in Xuzhou. It is not easy to take Xuzhou.”
However, with a smile on his face, Xi Zhicai said: ”in fact, it is not difficult to take Xuzhou! It depends on whether the Duke of Ming is willing to do so? ””Oh?” Cao Cao was immediately intrigued by the playwright's words and said, ”Mr. Fei has a good plan. Please tell me what I know!”
