Chapter 466 Cao Yuan confrontation.
About a month later, Li Chen's army had all taken down more than ten cities near Shouchun, and now the entire Huainan has been in Li Chen's pocket.
As the governor of Huainan, Jia Xu is responsible for all matters in Huainan. From the current perspective, Jia Xu has done a good job in Huainan. Not only has he taught the Huainan family how to be obedient, but he has not yet enriched a surprise fortune in the treasury of Qin.
After Li Chen won the trump card of Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, he already had the capital to swallow the world. The most important thing is that Li Chen's territory was connected. Moreover, the Yangtze River, Huai River, and Yellow River retreated, and these three rivers were used as natural dangers, and Xuzhou was used as springboards when entering.
Now, the situation where the Han Dynasty divided the three parts of the world has been determined. Li Chen was the most powerful, occupying the entire southern land, and Xuzhou was also used as a springboard. Liu Bei had the least powerful, and he could only live in Bashu.
In the next battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, whoever wins will win the last seat in the world.
Li Chen has settled the war and began to manage people's livelihood. After several consecutive years of war, the people urgently need to live a stable life.
Li Chen stopped fighting, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were at the hottest time of war.
Cao Ai Ben's army crossed the Yanjin Ferry and began to march towards Yuan Shao's hinterland. Yuan Shao was not showing any weakness and went all out to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao.
Although Yuan Shao had already acted like he wanted to fight Cao Cao to the death, Yuan Shao was actually very unsure.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both childhood friends and enemies. Over the years, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have fought many wars. However, after so many wars, Yuan Shao can be said to have not beat Cao Cao in one.
That's right, it's all defeated, and no one won. It can be said that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in heaven.
This is also why Cao Cao was willing to give Li Chen half of the beating Yuan Shu. First of all, it was because he had to face Li Chen if he took Huainan. Cao Cao had no naval army, so he could only be beaten and not fight back when facing Li Chen.
Another reason is that Cao Cao has no confidence in beating others, but he beat Yuan Shao, Cao Cao believes that he will win.
It seems that Cao Ai's purpose of existence is to beat him up Yuan Benchu.
Yecheng.
King of Jin's Mansion.
Council hall.
"Oh, Cao's army is coming fiercely. It's not easy to defeat Cao, I'm afraid it's not easy." Yuan Shao sighed and said.
"King of Jin, I have a plan." At this time, Tian Feng stood up and said.
Yuan Shao is different from Yuan Shao in his previous life. Yuan Shao now reused the upright Tian Feng and the truly capable Ju Yi.
This also adds a little suspense to the battle between Cao and Yuan. If Yuan Shao still relied on a group of incompetent ministers who did nothing and were the first to quarrel, then there would be no suspense to this battle.
"Yuan Hao, what are your plans?" Yuan Shao asked in front of his eyes.
Tian Feng stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "King of Jin, we can lead Ma Teng as foreign aid. Now Cao Cao has transferred Cao Ren, who is guarding Ma Teng, back. Now Cao Cao is empty behind, so we can talk about Ma Teng again and attack Cao Cao together."
"Ma Teng has two generals under his command, Yan Xing, and 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Once we can convince Ma Teng to send troops, we will definitely be unable to take care of both the head and tail."
"Yuan Hao, Ma Teng has surrendered Cao Ai Ben. Can he be so capricious?" Yuan Shao said to Tian Feng.
Yuan Shao and Ma Teng are old acquaintances. They are considered ministers in the same dynasty. When Emperor Ling was the first emperor, they fought the Yellow Turban Army together.
Yuan Shao knew Ma Teng, who was a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo of the Han Dynasty. This person is very upright. If you want Ma Teng to repeat it, it is afraid it will not be that easy.
Since they jointly destroyed Cao and failed to achieve a result, Ma Teng was defeated and surrendered to Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao was very generous to Ma Teng. Not only did he not care about his previous grudges, he still asked Ma Teng to manage Xiliang.
It is precisely because Cao Cao treated Ma Teng well that Yuan Shao knew in his heart that according to Ma Teng's temperament, he would probably not be that easy to make him rebel against Cao again.
Hearing Yuan Shao’s words, Tian Feng smiled slightly and said to Yuan Shao: “King of Jin, I wonder if you have heard a saying that one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.”
"Now, Xiliang is not just one Ma Teng, but also Han Sui and Beigong Boyu. Are these three monks?"
"The King of Jin only needs to send an envoy to join forces with Ma Teng to attack Cao. At that time, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu are invited to be lobbyists."
"At that time, we may give Youzhou to Ma Teng. Even if Ma Teng is not moved, will Han Sui and Beigong Boyu not move? I have predicted that this plan will be done."
When Yuan Shao heard Tian Feng's words, he immediately felt that it was reliable. Everyone has their own ideas. Even if Ma Teng is a good person and is unwilling to rebel against Cao again, then he can still stop Han Sui and Beigong Boyu's idea.
As for the land of Youzhou, this was just a big cake painted. After really destroying Cao Cao, Yuan Shao said that he would have to swallow Xiliang with his backhand. How could he give the Youzhou he had just obtained to Ma Teng?
"good!"
"Just as Mr. Yuan Hao said." Yuan Shao made the decision.
Yuan Shao thought to himself, there is a talent like Tian Feng in front of me, and I regret not only reusing him now.
Tian Feng has always been by Yuan Shao's side, but Tian Feng is not very good at speaking and will offend people from time to time, so Yuan Shao didn't like him in the past.
As for now, Cao Cao's army is approaching, Yuan Shao doesn't care whether Tian Feng will flatter him. Anyway, he has the ability, so he has to use it with him.
Now, Yuan Shao can still understand what big things are and what small things are.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are now in a confrontation stage. Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Shao quietly sent an envoy to join forces with Ma Teng to attack Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was really not at all wary of Ma Teng. Why do you say that? Ma Teng and Cao Cao also fought the Yellow Turban Army together. Cao Cao felt that Ma Teng was quite strong. Moreover, he treated Ma Teng well, so it was logical that Ma Teng could not rebel against him.
Yanjin Ferry.
Cao's army camp.
Now Yuan Shao's troops are insufficient. If he wants to unite Ma Teng, Cao Cao's troops are the same, and he is also in a difficult position.
Cao Cao stared at the map for a long time and told the command: "So quickly order Ma Teng to lead 50,000 cavalry to support him."
Since Ma Teng surrendered to Cao Cao, he naturally had to contribute to Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao wants cavalry, Ma Teng has to lead his army to support him.
Now, Ma Teng has become a very critical figure. Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, at this time, Ma Teng needs help.
