Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 197

"Next, I should talk about another thing! That is the matter of Feng Biejia!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused, his face became serious.

Everyone is also listening.

"As we all know, last time the Yellow Turban was broken, Yuan Yi was the first to contribute. Do you have any objections to this?"

Everyone shook their heads. It is indeed a skill for someone to use one face to defeat hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans!

"And I haven't rewarded him for his achievements yet! So I plan to reward him with the achievements of hybrid rice! Let him be promoted from sacrificial wine to special driver! What do you think?"

It's a big deal to seal Farewell, it's not just what Cao Cao said!

If the sedan chair is carried by everyone, if it is too arbitrary, it will easily cause various troubles in the future.

For example... say you don't know rewards and punishments, say you act independently, say you don't listen to advice!

In short, you are not a good thing!

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

"My lord, didn't you reward Yuanyi with [-] mu of land for the Yellow Turban incident last time? Wasn't it too hasty to grant you a farewell?"

Cao Cao held up a finger and shook it: "No, no, no! It's not hasty at all! Don't forget that the six hundred acres was a reward for Zhang Ning, not Yuan Yi! As for who she gave it to, That's her business!"

Hearing this, a group of people suddenly realized!

"Sorry my lord, Miss Zhang is Yuan Yi's wife, we took them for granted!"

Cao Cao smiled: "It's nothing! He has made such great achievements and paid so much in silence. Don't you agree?"

"Anyway, he doesn't care about things, just don't drive in name! You also know his inertia! It won't hinder you."

"You know...you are often doing odd jobs under him now! This income is not small! Think about it carefully!"

Everyone's heart shuddered, and they almost forgot about this!

Of these two brothers, one can give them money, and the other can give them officials...

I have been eaten to death by them all my life!No one can offend!

Not only can't offend!Still have to kiss ass!

After Yuan Yi found out, he was in a good mood, and gave him a few hundred dollars, how cool!

A group of people looked at each other and handed over together.

"My lord! I have no objection! Yuan Yi's merits are indeed enough to be a leader!"

Cao Cao clapped his palms and laughed: "Hahaha! Good! If that's the case, we will declare Chenliu tomorrow! Yuan Yi has been promoted to Biejia! The position of sacrificial wine is temporarily vacant, so it's up to you to work hard! I am optimistic about you!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao left happily!

But at this moment, on the other side, Yuan Shu's Nanyang has a heavy and solemn atmosphere!

Obviously there is a big move to do!

Chapter 236 Yuan Shu's Plan, Yanzhou Crisis

Nanyang County, Chaoyang City.

At this moment in the prefect's mansion, Yuan Shu's department will gather together.

All paddling.

Uh... no!They all closed their eyes and meditated.

At the front of the table, the handsome Yuan Shu frowned, staring straight at the Yanzhou map in front of him!

"Everyone! Now Sun Wentai died in battle! We have repeatedly failed in the battle with Liu Biao!"

"What do you think? Could it be that without Sun Jian, we are all helpless with Liu Biao?"

"He was able to defeat Liu Biao! Why did Liu Biao defeat you when it was your turn? One Xiangyang has been fought for a month and still hasn't been won!"

"Not only that! Our grain road was also cut off by Liu Biao, a bastard!"

The more Yuan Shu spoke, the more impatient he became. At the end, when he saw this group of generals, he sighed heavily.

"I am disappointed!"

Sun Jian can be described as a sharp knife under his command!Although he is not very obedient, he can still control the opponent with the food in his hand.

Everyone closed their eyes and said nothing, no one touched his brow, and all lowered their heads without rebutting.

Even... Ji Ling snored slightly!

He... actually fell asleep!

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shu was so angry!It's about to explode!

"Ji Ling!!"

"Hey! Lao Ji, stop paddling! My lord saw you!"

Yan Xiang next to him poked Ji Ling, who immediately opened his eyes and nodded his head lightly, as if thinking.

I didn't see any panic on my face!It can be said to be a paddling athlete!

"It makes sense! My lord! You are wise!"

With a smile and appreciation on his face, Ji Ling gave Yuan Shu a thumbs up.

Years of paddling experience told him that if he is being targeted by the lord at this moment, he should praise him immediately!

Because in the past, every time he did this, he could get away with it!

But this time... there was a little accident!

"You step on the horse! I have lost many battles and was robbed of food by others. You actually told me that I am wise? Good! Very good!"

"Come on! Fork him out!"

Ji Ling blinked in bewilderment, this is...was drowned while paddling?

Yan Xiang beside him stroked his forehead with his hands, with a helpless expression on his face.

My lord has a bad temper, and he especially likes to hang out with those heroes.

That's why they have a quack atmosphere, and they will swear if they don't agree with each other!He is used to it!

The other generals, like Le, Zhang Xun and Li Feng, tried their best to suppress their laughter.

Finally, someone was unlucky enough to let the protagonist vent!

But Ji Ling is Yuan Shu's number one general, so he won't be punished.

After venting, Yuan Shu felt much better.

"Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Han Yin (yin)! The three of you are my great advisers, tell me your opinions! What should we do in the future?"

Yuan Shu looked at this group of generals with hatred, and realized that he was really not very handsome!

Now that Sun Jian is dead, there is no one under his command who can make a move!

There is Ji Ling who is a little stronger, but still a lump of mud, paddling every day and not doing work!

Hearing Yuan Shu's question, Yang Hong and Han Yin winked at Yan Xiang, as if saying:

'Old Yan, you are the head of the counselor, so tell me! '

Yan Xiang didn't refuse, but cupped his hands.

"My lord! Now we have been fighting against Liu Biao for a long time, and our morale is low. The grain road in Yuzhou has been cut off by him again! The situation is not good for us!"

"Besides, there is no food supply, so we can't go north to flank Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zan! So we can only give up this strategy for the time being!"

Yuan Shu nodded when he heard the words, and stepped on the table with one foot, but after seeing the strange eyes of the generals, he coughed lightly and put his foot down.

These are all bad habits brought about by his messing around in the rivers and lakes. It has been many years and he can't get rid of it.

"Ahem! So Lord Yan, what do you say to get out of the predicament and relieve Gongsun Zan's pressure? An enemy's enemy is a friend!"

"With him in the north to contain Yuan Shao, we can spare no effort to snatch Jingzhou!"

Hearing this, Yan Xiang frowned, stood up and looked at the map carefully.

After a few minutes, the brows gradually relaxed.

"My lord! I have a plan!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Say it!"

The corners of Yan Xiang's mouth turned up slightly, with an expression of holding Zhizhu.

"My lord, since we can't conquer Xiangyang, then give up Xiangyang!"

Yuan Shu was full of doubts, followed Yan Xiang's gaze and looked at the map. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly realized.

"You mean... we defend Chaoyang City, and then march into Yanzhou? Is that right or not?"

"Now that Cao Cao has just entered Yanzhou, he has broken through the Yellow Turban. He has not yet gained a firm foothold, and his strength is weak. We... can indeed attack! It is much easier to win than Jingzhou!"

Yuan Shu nodded approvingly. There is no one who is stupid who can sit on a huge fortune.

Yan Xiang cupped his hands again: "That's right! My lord! The situation in our Nanyang County is very bad now! Look at this..."

Yan Xiang pointed to the map, and all the generals followed it.

"We are threatened by Liu Biao in the south, Dong Zhuo in the west, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou in the northeast!"

"It seems that a siege has formed! If we don't break out of the encirclement to seize the territory as soon as possible, then Cao Cao will gain a firm foothold and attack Nanyang together with Liu Biao, then Nanyang will be in danger!"

"And now we have no successors! If we want to get out of this predicament, we can only take the initiative to attack! Break the deadlock! There is no other way!"

"If we can win Yanzhou, not only can we join forces with Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian to attack Yuan Shao, but we can also own a state! In this way, we can go south to take Yangzhou and Jiangdong, and the south can be settled!"

Yan Xiang narrowed his eyes, revealing a light of wisdom.

Yuan Shu pondered, thinking about what Yan Xiang said.

After a while, Yuan Shu nodded!

"That's the only way! Do you have a detailed plan? If you succeed in capturing Yanzhou, I will make you the Governor of Nanyang!"

"Follow me, Yuan Shu, and if you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded greatly!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand in high spirits.

After Yan Xiang became agitated, he calmed down, stroked his sleeves, and pointed at the map.

"My lord! I have a plan! Now that Xiangyang is fighting fiercely, we must stay behind to resist Liu Biao!"

"Secondly, we can divide our troops into two teams, and one team will feign an attack in Ningling to attract Cao Cao's attention!"

"The other team sneaked up from Luyang, and entered Yanzhou from Ruyang, Yuzhou! This is our territory, and we can enter Cao Cao's place without a single soldier!"

Speaking of this, Yan Xiang paused, constantly thinking about how to proceed next!

After half a minute, he spoke again.

"After we entered Yanzhou, we took advantage of the unpreparedness to occupy Fengqiu, and then sent another general to quickly capture Kuangting!"

"After taking Kuangting, return the main force to Fengqiu. In this case, Cao Cao will definitely turn around and attack Kuangting first, because the military there is weak!"

"The distance from Fengqiu to Kuangting is much smaller than the distance from Chenliu to Kuangting, so when Cao Cao attacks Kuangting, we can rush there first and lay down there! In this way, we can join forces with the guards of Kuangting Flanker and wipe out Cao Cao's troops!"

Yan Xiang stood with his hands behind his back, with the demeanor of pointing the country.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu and the generals kept nodding their heads.

"The analysis is in place! It's a good move to lure the snake out of the hole, and a good move to attack from inside and outside! Cao Cao, who has been running for a long distance, never thought that we would ambush us in advance, right? Hahaha!"

"If Cao Cao's troops are wiped out, we will be able to take Chen Liu and Puyang in the northeast! These two are important towns!"

Yuan Shu was very excited, as if seeing himself in charge of two states.

Yan Xiang smiled all over his face, looked at Yuan Shu quietly, and when he calmed down, he spoke again.

"My lord! To be on the safe side, I think we can also inform the Black Mountain Army, as well as Hanoi's Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo! Let them attack together!"

"Anyway, they have a grudge against Cao Cao! In this case, they can be used as cannon fodder to die! When we take Yanzhou, we will turn around and drive them out!"

"It's just... we need a suitable reason to attack Yanzhou! This reason has not been thought of yet!"
