Chapter 144 Yuan Shaojun’s Invasion

By the time Tao Qian woke up, everything was beyond repair.

Danyang's army was completely wiped out, and Xuzhou was completely without any support. The Xuzhou family, which originally had various thoughts, began to frantically show their favor to Xu Shu.

It can be said that Xuzhou has almost been completely controlled by Xu Shu. If Xu Shu had not stationed most of his troops on the border of Xuzhou in order to assist Guo Jia, Xuzhou would have been completely taken over by now.

When Yuan Shu heard that Xuzhou was defeated, he sent troops to gain some benefits from Xuzhou. As a result, Ji Ling met Liu Guanzhang who was full of anger and returned in defeat. He once again retreated and silently licked his wounds.

Yuan Shu began to doubt his life, why every time he sent out troops, his troops failed, even though he was destined to do so.

Even with his strong self-confidence, he had to think about how to develop.

Liu Guanzhang, who had defeated Yuan Shu, was also confused. Initially, Liu Bei thought that Tao Qian would not lose too badly even if he lost. He defeated Yuan Shu and then went over to attack the Qingzhou soldiers with Tao Qian.

Not only can they make a splash, but they can also occupy a place in Xuzhou. After all, they have had personal contact with Chen Deng and get along very well. Chen Deng is also willing to help Liu Bei get the position of Xuzhou Shepherd.

Then, there was no more. Xuzhou's 130,000-strong army was wiped out in one wave. Xu Shu became famous all over the world and became a new military strategist that people talked about.

Tao Qian was very lucky. If Hua Tuo hadn't happened to be in Xuzhou, Tao Qian probably wouldn't have woken up.

However, thanks to Hua Tuo's miraculous medical skills, Tao Qian survived after the craniotomy.

Although Hua Tuo finally concluded that he had less than two years to live, Tao Qian did survive.

Tao Qian, who was lying on the hospital bed, listened to the information Chen Deng read and waved his hand to indicate that Chen Deng could leave.

"Oh, if I had known this, why would I have stopped being human inside and out?" Tao Qian smiled bitterly as he lay on the hospital bed, already knowing that he might not be able to survive much longer.

The last persistence in my heart was shattered, and it was time to hand over Xuzhou.

"Fortunately, Mu Zhengping is a very benevolent person. If Xuzhou is handed over to him, my second son will be safe under his protection. It doesn't matter."

Tao Qian sighed and planned to do something before he died.

"O Xuzhou family, Mu Zhengping, let me, Tao Gongzu, take them away for you!"

Tao Qian thought with some melancholy that even when a person is about to die, his words are good. Tao Qian, who planned for his son, has now completely figured it out.

In the past, he felt that he had the ability to pave a road for his children, but Xu Shu used practical actions to tell him that the road was paved by himself, not by others.

He doesn't ask for anything else now, just for the descendants of his family, so why not give Xuzhou to Mu Yi? Since Mu Zhengping doesn't like those families who regard the people as pigs and dogs, there is no conflict between their ideas.

.

In this case, let's just give Mu Yi a clean Xuzhou. And with him taking the initiative to give up his position, Mu Yi can also take some initiative in public opinion. This is the last thing he can do.

Tao Qian sat up. He was extremely weak, but his eyes were fierce.

"Hahaha, the aristocratic family in Xuzhou should be buried with me!"

Tao Qian laughed, and then launched the purge of Xuzhou.

…

Before Xu Shu captured the entire Xuzhou, Mu Yi led Guo Jia and Zhu Wu and led Qingzhou's 80,000 main force to directly send troops from Mount Tai to attack Yanzhou.

With Taishan County as the interface, Lu County in the west of Yanzhou was almost completely captured in just a few days.

Cao Cao fell into Jia Xu's scheme and was convinced of the intelligence he received, so he stationed troops in the states of Pei and Liang to deal with Xu Shu's sneak attack.

But before Xu Shu could make a detour and sneak attack, Lu County, which had no frontal defense, was directly captured by Mu Yi and Qingzhou's main force.

The moment he received the news, Cao Cao realized that he had fallen into a trap. He had been suspicious for a long time and actually fell completely into someone else's trap.

Cao Cao also fell on his back. He was so angry that he couldn't bear such a great stimulation and fell down directly.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was not Tao Qian and was in his prime. Even though he fainted for a moment, Cao Cao quickly woke up after a lot of ingenious treatment.

"Send your talents quickly to Shanyang County to assist the local defense!" Cao Cao roared immediately after waking up.

"Don't worry, my lord, General Xiahou has already set off, General Cao Chun is reorganizing his army, and General Cao Ren has also rushed back from the Bingzhou border!"

"There is General Li Dian on the other side of Shanyang, so it should be fine!" Xun Yu briefly recounted the current situation to Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo, please forgive me for being suspicious!" Cao Cao sighed, stood up and apologized to Xun Yu, looking at Xun Yu firmly with his eyes and said.

"The princes have nine virtues: they are magnanimous yet serious and respectful; they are gentle yet independent-minded; they are modest yet solemn; they are talented yet conscientious; they are good at listening to others' opinions yet resolute; they behave upright yet have a gentle attitude; they are forthright and straightforward.

Broad-minded yet attentive to details, upright yet down-to-earth. Strong, brave yet moral!"

Xun Yu spoke calmly, with no emotion or joy on his face, but he was very satisfied inside.

Cao Cao said that to that extent, it is enough for a lord, just know your mistakes and correct them.

What Xun Yu needs is a hero, not a bear.

"The princes have nine virtues, and I must learn from them!" Cao Cao said seriously.

"Lord, do you have any plans?" Xun Yu nodded, immediately turned over the story, and then said to Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo, how should we deal with this matter?"

Cao Cao humbly asked for advice. Now he was not so confident in his IQ. His suspicion did not disappear, but he changed from doubting Xun Yu and other counselors to doubting Qingzhou's persecution.

To a certain extent, going from paranoia to persecution paranoia cannot be said to be an improvement.

"Lord, prepare to lead the army. This time Qingzhou is coming fiercely. The 200,000 troops raised may not be easily dispatched!" Xun Yu calmly took out the map and pointed at Shanyang County and Pei County.

"This will be the place where we fight, so my lord, please recruit soldiers as soon as possible. Even the new soldiers must be brought here to build up their strength!"

"I have made some arrangements before, driving the tigers to devour wolves, and driving the Xuzhou family and Jizhou to fight against Qingzhou. It is expected that Qingzhou has also been attacked by Yuan Shaojun at this moment!"

While Xun Yu was speaking, Qingzhou was indeed invaded by Yuan Shaojun.

Twenty thousand troops were killed from Leling City, led by Zhang Jia and Gao Lan, and rushed towards Qingzhou.

"Report!" the orderly shouted and rushed in.

"What's the military report?" Jia Xu turned around and asked.

When Mu Yi and others left, he naturally managed the entire Qingzhou temporarily.

Anticipating that Yuan Shao would attack, he directly led some of his people to squat on the border of Qingzhou.

"Yuan Shao's vanguard has arrived thirty miles away, and the number is about five thousand. The headquarters is still a hundred miles away and is marching towards here. The enemy's vanguard is carrying a flag with the word "Zhang", and the headquarters has a flag with the word "high"."

The soldier read the detailed military report.

"There is a 90% possibility that Zhang He is the Four Court Pillars of Hebei Province."

"As for Gao, there is a 60% chance of being a high ranking person, and a 40% chance of being a high cadre."

Huang Tianji calmly analyzed the identity of General Yuan Shaojun.

"Gao Lan and Zhang He? It seems that Gongsun Zan is going to lose!" Jia Xu saw some clues from their identities.

Yuan Shao actually managed to deal with Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu at the same time, but he still had the energy to deploy his most trusted generals to suppress Qingzhou.

You must know that in history, Yuan Shao was once beaten very embarrassingly by Gongsun Zan, but now under their operation, the strengthened Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu teamed up, and Yuan Shao was easily suppressed and beaten.

In order for Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu to join forces, Jia Xu put a lot of blame on the Yuan family. He was from Liangzhou, so he naturally knew a lot of inside information.

Facing a rebel like Yuan Shao, Liu Yu was naturally furious, and the conflict with Gongsun Zan could be regarded as a conflict between the Enlightenment sect and the Iron-Blooded sect.

However, Gongsun Zan was more or less a serious Han official, and Liu Yu was a relative of the emperor, so he naturally disliked Yuan Shao. Therefore, Liu Yu not only did not hold Gongsun Zan back, but also gave Gongsun Zan strong support and directly supported Gongsun Zan.

Solved the worries.

But even so, they were still suppressed by Yuan Shao.

There is only one answer.

"Huangfu Song..."

Jia Xu knew that this was the influence of Li Ru.

And the only person who can help Yuan Shao change all this easily is the great Han Yuhui who put down the Yellow Turbans.

"Hahaha, what a great Huangfu Song!" Jia Xu was extremely afraid of him, but in the end he just buried it in his heart.

Now is not the time for an all-out war with Yuan Shao.

"Where is Lu Junyi?" Jia Xu asked loudly.

"The general is here!" Lu Junyi stood up excitedly.

"Lead five thousand wolf cavalry to defeat the vanguard on the opposite side!" Jia Xu calmly gave the order.

"promise!"

If you defend for a long time, you will lose. The war is all about morale. As long as the morale of Qingzhou is high and the morale of Yuan Shaojun, who has been defeated as the vanguard, is low, it will be much easier to defend.

It is not impossible to be on guard and defend to the death, but it is common sense to defend the enemy outside the home. Jia Xu also planned to test Yuan Shaojun's quality, so he sent his most mobile Wolf Cavalry to test.

"In this case, why not let Zhang Liang station outside the city to support Lu Junyi?" Zhang Bao suggested.

"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded, which was a mature strategy.

Zhang He was sitting on his horse. Before he could see the city wall, he noticed a trail of smoke and dust galloping towards him.
