Chapter 1158 Cao Cao and Yuan Shu


    Chapter 1156: Cao Cao and Yuan Shu


    Chenliu County, Chenliu County.


    Cao Cao stood on the city wall with a serious face, overlooking the vast enemy troops under the city, and felt extremely solemn in his heart.


    However, in just ten days, five more counties in Chenliu''s 17 counties fell, which also boosted the momentum of the rebel army.


    Now Li Zicheng has sent his nephew Li Guo to divide his troops to capture the jujube. Once the jujube in the western gate of Yanzhou falls, the connection between Yanzhou and Sizhou will be completely isolated, and Xun You can only take a detour to Yuzhou to return.


    However, Cao Cao was not worried that the fall of Shaozao would not only place 5,000 elite defenders in Shaozao, but the guard general was his most trusted clan brother Cao Ren.


    There are really a lot of talents under Cao Cao.


    Staff members include: Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, and Bi Gan.


    The generals of this clan include: Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan.


    The generals of other surnames include: Yin Shou, Elai, Yin Hong, Yin Jiao, Su Hu, Su Quanzhong, Yang Jiliang, Wang Junke, You Junda, Xie Yingdeng, Shi Dana and others.


    However, in the previous battle of Li Zicheng''s sneak attack on Mount Tai, You Junda led the army to cut off the rear and was killed by Li Guo, while Shi Dana was ambushed on the way to retreat and died under the attack of He Jin and Gao Yigong.


    Of course, Li Zicheng''s side was not without losses. His confidant general Liu Fangliang ambushed Yin Shou, but was killed by Yin Shou on the way to break through.


    Although Cao Cao lost two generals, his general lineup is still huge. It is precisely because of so many generals that he can help him that Cao Cao can fight against the five major forces with his own strength without losing the upper hand.


    In terms of marching and fighting, Cao Cao was not afraid of Li Zicheng, but he was afraid of his ability to deceive the people. It took only a long time for the people in Yanzhou to stir up the hearts of the entire Yanzhou. I am afraid that the Yanzhou princes alliance that attracted Li Zicheng did not expect it.


    When Cao Cao''s face became a little ugly when he thought of this, his face became a little ugly. The reason why Li Zicheng could seize the five counties of Chenliu so quickly was mainly because of the people in the city''s rebellion.


    Cao Cao did not expect that the people under his command would rebel. After all, he was one of the few princes who fully implemented the "Big Han Field System", and most of the people under him also supported and loved him very much.


    However, the "Big Han Field System" is the castrated version of the "Big Heaven Field System". As a product of the incomplete pirated version of "Big Han", the people naturally support Li Zicheng, who represents the comeback of the Ming Dynasty.


    "Yanzhou finally recovered some vitality from the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This marquis wanted to unify Yanzhou as soon as possible to reduce the losses of the civil war to the lowest level, but he did not expect that Li Zicheng had 500,000 people from Mount Tai targeted Yanzhou, and the people were restless under Li Zicheng''s bewitchment. Even if Li Zicheng could be expelled from the end, Yanzhou would probably be seriously injured."


    Cao Cao couldn''t help but sigh. He could have expected that Yanzhou in the future would definitely look riddled with holes.


    Bigan saw his lord sighing and immediately said seriously: "Lord, there is actually a way to stop loss."


    "oh?"


    Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Sir, do you have any plan to teach me?"


    Although Qin Hao poached Xun Yu in advance, Cao Cao also became a blessing in disguise and received Bi Gan''s assistance.


    As an important official in the Shang Dynasty, Bigan has been in politics for more than 40 years and advocated the promotion of agricultural and animal husbandry production, and advocated smelting and casting to enrich the country and strengthen the army. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, pleaded for the people, dared to speak out for the bluntly and advised, and had the reputation of "an eternal loyal minister".


    Bi Gan''s military ability may be inferior to Xun Yu, but his political ability is stronger than Xun Yu. It is precisely under Bi Gan''s governance that Yanzhou''s vitality can recover so quickly.


    After hearing Cao Cao''s words, Bi Gan immediately said, "Li Zicheng has moved all 500,000 Mount Tai people to Yanzhou. After the lord defeated Li Zicheng, he could seize the Mount Tai people from Li Zicheng. With 500,000 Mount Tai people as a supplement, Yanzhou''s losses can be at least reduced." Cao Cao couldn''t help but his eyes lit up. He kept thinking about how to defeat Li Zicheng as soon as possible to reduce the losses, but forgot that the 500,000 Mount Tai people were already from Yanzhou. With one increase and one decline, perhaps the losses of Yanzhou would not be that great.


    "Mr.''s words have won my heart."


    Cao Cao''s eyes flashed with a flash of light and he smiled, "Maybe what we should consider is not just to defeat Li Zicheng, but how to completely take away the people of Mount Tai. After all, that''s a total of 500,000 people."


    "The real difficult things under Li Zicheng are just the 50,000 elite soldiers. No matter how many of the remaining new troops are, they will be as difficult as the Yellow Turbans at the time, and it will be difficult for us to pose a threat to our army," said Cheng Yu.


    "But Li Zicheng is an extremely cautious person, and the famous scholar Li Yan assisted him. With the current strength of our army, it is difficult to severely damage Li Zicheng." Chen Gong frowned.


    Cao Cao and others nodded in agreement. After all, what Chen Gong said was also true and there was nothing that could not be admitted.


    "I hope Qin Hao agrees to borrow troops." Cao Cao sighed.


    At this time, Cao Qiudao ran over with a serious look on his face and said, "Lord, the military advisor''s Fei Ge''s letter has been sent back."


    Cao Cao took the letter from him, and after reading it, he couldn''t help but smile bitterly: "Qin Hao refused our army''s request for help on the grounds that the war in Sizhou has not stopped, but he agreed to support a batch of materials and food to solve the urgent problem.


    There was a statement in the office before, saying that Qin Hao would never send reinforcements without unifying Sizhou, but this marquis was lucky in his heart. Now it seems that it is better to ask for others than to ask for others. ”


    After Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and Bi Gan looked at each other, Cheng Yu said, "Lord, Li Zicheng is no longer just a threat to our family. He is a major disaster for the entire Yanzhou. Perhaps we can consider a peace talks with Yanzhou Alliance, and first work together to expel Li Zicheng and then decide the lord of Yanzhou."


    Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, and Chen Gong stood up decisively when he saw this and said seriously: "I have some personal relationships with Zhang Miao, and I am willing to go and convince him for the envoy."


    When Cao Cao heard this, he grabbed Chen Gong''s hand and said seriously: "Public platform, don''t force this trip. It''s natural to be good if you can succeed. If you don''t, your safety is the most important thing."


    "No."


    ————


    At the same time, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou was also furious. He thought that with the absolute advantage of military strength, the attack on Li Mi would definitely win a great victory, but he did not expect to stumbling along the way and suffered considerable casualties.


    "What exactly does Ji Ling do for food? Li Mi only has 50,000 troops. This marquis gave him a 150,000 army. Even three times the troops could not take down Li Mi. He was simply a fool..."


    Yuan Shu was so angry that he cursed, and the ministers below looked at me and I didn’t know how to plead for Ji Ling. After all, the 150,000 army could not win the 50,000 army, which was indeed a bit incompetent.


    Yan Xiang couldn''t help but sigh when he saw this. As Yuan Shu''s planner, he naturally knew Ji Ling''s ability. It would be barely possible to command a 50,000 army, but a 150,000 army was too forced to him. However, his lord just refused to listen to advice, and let Ji Ling, who was not capable, take the position of chief general.


    "Master, change generals." Yan Xiang stood up and said in a deep voice:


    Yuan Shu glanced at Yan Xiang and sighed, "I regret not listening to the military advisor. Who can be replaced by the military advisor?"


    Yan Xiang glanced at Zhao Kuangyin not far away, and after a little thought, he said in a deep voice: "General Lian Po, he can take on this important task with his troops calmly.
