Chapter 208 Discord
Xu You has an arrogant personality and is smooth in doing things. Tian Feng is too upright and doesn't know how to adapt. The reasons for his personality lead to the accumulation of conflicts between the two.
After the establishment of the two major military groups in the north, Cao Cao found out based on his overall view at the time that there would definitely be a great battle with Yuan Shao in the future, so all obstacles must be cleared now.
It happened that Yuan Shao had the same thought in his heart, but he didn't have any worries, but in his own name, he issued a call for thieves to the whole world, praying to find like-minded allies in the whole world to fight against thieves together.
He quickly got Liu Bei's response, but these things were going on in secret, and Cao Cao didn't know it at all.
But I don't know whether it is God's will or some other reasons, Cao Cao put his goal first on Liu Bei. Liu Bei is in Xuzhou, and the geographical location is outside Cao Cao's jurisdiction. It is a great threat to Yanzhou and Xuchang. in spite of.
At that time, in order to solve his worries, he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, preparing to solve the hidden dangers hidden in his territory. He was also Yuan Shao's ally-Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei was more decisive. He had already contacted Yuan Shao and planned to attack Cao Cao in advance.
It's a pity that Cao Cao was superior in terms of military art and strategy. In addition, Liu Bei had just taken over Xuzhou, and his officers and men refused to accept him. Yang rescued Guan Yu.
During Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Tian Feng discovered that Cao Cao sent a large number of troops to Xuzhou, leaving only a small number of troops stationed in Xuchang City. At this time, sending elite troops to attack Xuchang City will definitely win a big victory.
He found the opportunity, and wrote to Yuan Shao to implore him to send elite soldiers to attack Xuchang immediately, so that Cao Cao would be caught off guard. In this case, Yuan Shao will also occupy a very strong dominant position in the future war between the two armies.
But at this time, Yuan Shao's indecisive character was causing trouble. After all, Xuchang City was Cao Cao's stronghold. Based on Cao Cao's naturally suspicious mind, he felt that Tian Feng's opinion was not feasible at all.
It just so happened that his youngest son was ill at this time, and he took advantage of this incident as an excuse to evade sending troops, leaving all the civil and military officials in the hall speechless, and even dismissed Tian Feng's suggestion to sneak attack Xuchang It was quietly shelved.
The two armies have been fighting in the Guandu area for half a year. During this time, the two sides have been wasting money and food, neither advancing nor retreating, neither war nor peace. !
Xu You knew this in his heart, and he was very anxious, but he also understood that the problem must be solved fundamentally, otherwise all the soldiers would have been stuck in the front line to fight, and the morale of the army would be greatly affected, which would be detrimental to the battle situation.
On the second day, Xu You took advantage of Yuan Shao's gathering of officials to go to the palace, and expressed his thoughts.
He said: "Currently it's spring, the flowers are blooming, the glaciers are melting, and our army has enough food and pay. All the soldiers are full of fighting spirit and spirit."
"However, a serious disease broke out inside Cao's army. According to reports from the scouts, thousands of soldiers and horses in Cao's camp fell ill and died. Cao's army was full of enthusiasm and panic. Now is a good time for our army to attack. Please order quickly, my lord. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and two generals led the troops to attack Xuchang."
Yuan Shao just stared at him like this, hesitation was already written on his face. To be honest, he didn't expect Xu You to send troops to attack Xu Chang with such a tough attitude today.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "The second general Yan Liang, Wen Chou also sent a letter, and they explained in the letter that if they continue to procrastinate and do not fight, the soldiers will lose their momentum and the soldiers will become old easily. They are all urging me to hurry up." A quick battle, I'm thinking about it."
"My lord, the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou also mean to promote the war, which coincides with what I mean. I implore my lord not to hesitate any longer and march in immediately."
Yuan Shao also thought over and over again in his heart, and felt that now is also a good time to march.He decided to adopt Xu You's suggestion, and immediately ordered his soldiers to bring their own marching order, and asked Yan Liangwen Chou to lead the front army to attack Xuchang.
Seeing that the proposal had been made, Xu You retreated safely. After the discussion was over and everyone dispersed, Yuan Shao still had some worries in his heart. He saw Liu Xuande sitting in the corner, and an idea came to his mind.
He asked Xuande to stay and accompany him to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and he also used the war as an excuse, saying that once the two armies went to war, they would no longer have such leisure and elegance.
After all, Liu Bei is just one of his guests, so how can he not agree to a request from him?
As a result, what happened in the hall reached Tian Feng's ears, and he hurried into the hall alone, stopping Yuan Shao and Liu Bei who were about to go out.
After seeing the two of them, he said directly, "My lord, did you just issue the marching order?"
"Just finished downloading."
Tian Feng's face was filled with an expression of being doomed, which made Yuan Shao very puzzled, and he even shouted: "Xu You misunderstood the master!" Yuan Shao was a little confused.
Looking at Yuan Shao, he began to explain: "My lord, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou a few months ago. It was indeed a good time for our army to attack Xuchang. But now, Xuzhou City has fallen into Cao Cao's hands, and Liu Bei's entire army has been wiped out." .”
Speaking of this, he said to Liu Bei very apologetically: "Uncle Liu Huang, please forgive me." But he didn't notice the change in the expression on Liu Bei's face, there was a trace of remorse and helplessness at the corner of his mouth, and he even smiled at Tian Feng who didn't mind at all .
Tian Feng continued: "Now that Cao Cao is leading a victorious army and his troops are fighting vigorously, not only can our army not advance, but we should temporarily avoid their attack, stay still and find another opportunity to fight."
Yuan Shao was a little puzzled at this time, "It is reported that Cao Cao's army was infected with a serious disease, and many soldiers and horses fell to death."
Tian Feng persuaded earnestly: "My lord, Cao Cao commanded an army of 20. How many days did not a few people get sick? Scabies, a small disease, is not enough to shake the entire army. This is not a war opportunity."
"But the second general Yan Liangwen Chou also sent a letter, requesting to promote the war."
"As a general, who doesn't want to be able to make meritorious deeds? It's just that the lord, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, should judge the situation and take full control of the overall situation, and not be disturbed by frivolous remarks."
Yuan Shao was gradually persuaded by Tian Feng, and his face began to weigh what he said.
Seeing that the words were effective, Tian Feng continued to add new flames: "My lord, the people of the prefecture and county you have now are more than twice that of Cao Cao, and three years later they will definitely be several times more than Cao Cao. My lord should be rich and strong." People, Xu Tu goes in, brakes with silence, and strikes later, this is the way to win."
