Chapter 86

First of all, it's Yuan Shu, of course. Since last year's defeat in Ruyin City, Yuan Shu has been at the expense of others. When he learned that it was Sun Jian's Jiangdong army who calculated himself at that time, he did not hate Sun Jian to death with Yuan Shu's careful eye. After returning to Yuzhou, he recruited soldiers and horses, and was always ready to capture Yangzhou and kill Jiangdong again.

At this time, Yan Xiang, the first think tank of Yuan Shu, secretly contacted Shanyue of the Tu Nationality in Jiangdong, lured them to besiege the two cities behind Sun Jian, and then drove his troops to capture Yangzhou. In order to consolidate the rear, Sun Jian was inevitably unable to scruple with Yangzhou. Once Yangzhou was won, Jiangdong fell completely under Yuan Shu's knife and axe.

However, what Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang did not expect was that Chen Renxian resolved the crisis of Poyang City, and then blocked the 100000 mountain crossing outside Yuzhang city with only a few thousand soldiers and horses, which gave Sun Jian the leeway to control. Outside Yingshang City, he was attacked by Guo Jia's night attack. If he had not been re appointed by Yuan Shu as general Ji Ling, he would have died in Yingshang It's out of town. However, the tens of thousands of people that Yuan Shu managed to accumulate again were also destroyed. Yuan Shu completely fell to the level of a second-class Lord, and he had no strength to raise his head.

The results of the two battles of Yingshang city and Yuzhang city were spread to the princes of various routes, and each of them had his own thoughts.

Yanzhou Dongjun city.

Looking at the two silk cloths placed in front of him, Cao Cao's face was cloudy and sunny, and he said to a cadre under his seat: "but in a year's time, I didn't expect sun Wentai to develop so fast!"

Cao Cao's left-handed generals were the top one in the column. He was very tall and had a heroic appearance. He was the confidant of Cao Cao, Xia Houdun. Sitting under XiahouDun, a man with a big body was a little bigger than Xia Houdun, but his appearance was full of flesh and blood, which was the villain Dianwei introduced by XiahouDun. Then there are Cao Cao's trusted Generals: Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, lejin, Li Dian, Yu ban, etc.

Compared with a large number of Cao Cao's generals, a group of counsellors sitting on the right side of Cao Cao are much colder. The man sitting on the top of the head was thin and pale, with only two whiskers on his lips, showing his master's tact. He was the most valued counselor and playwright of Cao Cao. They are man Chong, Lu Qian and Mao Xun.

Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and a faint red color appeared on his face. He said, "my Lord, according to my subordinates, Sun Jian's potential has become, and I'm afraid it's hard to restrain it. Although Yuan Shu is weak now, our army still needs him to hold down Jiangdong. Xuzhou is the granary of the world. If the Ming government does not take it, Sun Jian will take it! "

Cao Cao nodded. Although the Yuzhou under Yuan Shu's command was quite envious to Cao Cao, considering Sun Jian's strong power, if he took Yuzhou, it was hard to guarantee that Sun Jian would not send troops to attack.

All of a sudden, Cao Cao looked at the silk cloth on the right and sighed, "Chen Zici is really brave and resourceful. He cherishes that all the sages belong to Sun Jian."

Xia Houdun and other generals blushed when they heard Cao Cao's words. Only a white faced young general sitting at the end of the table stepped out, clasped his fists and said, "my Lord, why is Chen Ren so ambitious? I think that Chen Ren is only luck that makes him so famous. If he meets in the battlefield, he will be killed at last!"

Cao Cao, however, was one of his family's sons, Cao Xiu, who was quite brave. Cao Cao loved him very much, and let him live with his sons. For his proud statement, Cao Cao did not agree. At the moment, he just said with a smile: "the culture is strong and brave, and I know nothing about it."

However, Cao Cao's veteran generals were not so polite. Xia Houdun and others were people who fought in the battlefield all the year round. Of course, they knew that Chen Ren's strength was not as simple as Cao Xiu's luck. They all looked at each other with sarcasm.

When Cao Xiu saw the appearance of Xia Houdun and others, he was so arrogant that he was flushed with anger. No matter whether he was the youngest generation in the crowd, he immediately yelled at the generals: "do you look down on me so much? Dare to compete with me

At this time, even if Cao Cao spoiled Cao Xiu again, he couldn't see it anymore. He immediately said, "Wenlie, don't be presumptuous! Get out of here

Cao Xiu, who was reprimanded by Cao Cao, did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's orders, so he had to fight back and quit the meeting hall angrily. However, those veteran generals will not care about anything with Cao Xiu, a child. They are all laughing in silence. Dian Wei said coldly: "I don't know the height of heaven and earth!"

After all, Cao Xiu is Cao Cao's favorite son. If someone else said that, Cao Cao would be disgraced. But Cao Cao also knew that Dian Wei had a straight temper, so he did not blame him. Then he continued the discussion with others. Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai, "in Mr. Zhang's opinion, we should form an alliance with Sun Jian, and then Xu Tu Xuzhou?"

The actor nodded his head and said, "however, now that Ming Gong has already owned Yanzhou and Qingzhou, if he can win Xuzhou again. At that time, even if we were to fight with Dong Zhuo, we would not be afraid of Sun Jian. "

"Xuzhou?" Cao Cao fell into a deep thought, frowned and said, "but Tao Qian, that old man, is also very popular in Xuzhou. It is not easy to take Xuzhou."

However, with a smile on his face, Xi Zhicai said: "in fact, it is not difficult to take Xuzhou! It depends on whether the Duke of Ming is willing to do so? ""Oh?" Cao Cao was immediately intrigued by the playwright's words and said, "Mr. Fei has a good plan. Please tell me what I know!"

As soon as Xi Zhicai opened his mouth to say something, his face suddenly changed. He immediately bent down and covered his mouth with his hands. He coughed incessantly, but Cao Cao was scared to death. The lack of a counselor, he regarded the first adviser as the lifeblood.

"Doctor! Where's the medical officer! Call the doctor Cao Cao hurried down from his seat and kept shouting and drinking outside the door. Then he went to the side of Xi Zhicai and looked at him with worry on his face. All the officials and military generals around him were also surrounded by Cao Cao. Although he had known that the body of the dramatists was not good, Cao Cao always kept a glimmer of hope, hoping that his body would be better.

Although he could not speak for the time being, he waved his hand to Cao Cao, indicating that he was OK. Then he raised his body and took a few deep breaths, which made his face fade slightly. Cao Cao's weak body said: "Cao's hands are worried."

Although Cao Cao put down his heart a little, he was still full of worries. Looking at the actor, he said, "Sir, you'd better take a rest for a while."

A trace of gratitude flashed in the playwright's eyes, and then he said, "don't worry about your subordinates' bodies. They are all old diseases that don't hinder you. Please return to your seat."

Cao Cao took a good look at Xi Zhicai's face. He looked much better. Then he returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, he said to Xi Zhicai, "don't go back today. The new medical officer in our house is very skillful. Let him give him a good diagnosis and treatment for him, and he will be able to get rid of his old diseases."

In his heart, however, his own body was clear. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist next year. Looking at Cao Cao's concerned eyes, Xi Zhicai even regretted. Why didn't he recommend his classmates Xunzi and Guo Jia to Cao Cao's account, but let Sun Jian take the lead. At this time, he secretly decided to help the Lord in his limited life and achieve great success!

"My Lord! To take Xuzhou, although only with the power of the Lord can do it, but the loss is too much. Yanzhou, the foundation of the Lord, was peeped at by all the heroes. Therefore, if you want to go to Xuzhou, you can't spare no effort to fight! "

"But Xuzhou's strength is not weak. If the Lord doesn't do his best, he can't win it!"

With a smile, Xi Zhicai said, "berning is right, so our army needs to find a strong aid to attack Xuzhou together."

With a frown on his brow, Cao Cao said, "does Mr. Fei refer to sun Wentai in terms of powerful assistance?"

"My Lord's guide!" He said with a bow.

Cao Cao was full of doubts and said, "but Sun Wentai's foundation has not yet been established. How can he help me win Xuzhou?"

"Ha ha!" It's enough to make him laugh With that, Xi Zhicai stood up, went directly to the map behind him, and cut the map of Xuzhou with his hand.

Cao Cao immediately understood the meaning of Xi Zhicai, but then he said with heartache: "although this can attract sun Wentai to send troops, our benefits are greatly reduced."

"My Lord! Now Sun Jian has won the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River. In addition, although Yangzhou is called Liu Yao, it is the Jiangdong army that supports the overall situation. Sun Jian's potential has been established. Now, the Lord can't be the enemy of him! " Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Xi Zhicai immediately tried to persuade him: "besides, Sun Jian's forces have already opened up the south of the Yangtze River. If we want to develop, there are only two ways to go: one is to take Jingzhou in the West; the other is to take Xuzhou in the North. Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, etc. can take advantage of this opportunity to occupy most of Xuzhou's territory. It's not too late to take down Jiangdong. Why take a fancy to the gains and losses of this time? "

Cao Cao was repeatedly nodded by the dramatists. His eyes flashed, and he immediately said to the door, "come on! Prepare your pen and ink

In Pengcheng, Xuzhou, a group of civil servants were arguing endlessly in the assembly hall of the governor's office. Sitting at the top, with a sad face, is Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian saw that the people below argued one after another, but there was no result. Finally, he could not help but say, "gentlemen! Gentlemen! Don't argue any more! "

Tao Qian has been in Xuzhou officialdom for many years, but he still has a little prestige. When he makes a voice, he stops immediately. Everyone looks at Tao Qian quietly. Tao Qian frowned and said, "gentlemen, I'm inviting you to come here to relieve the crisis in Xuzhou. In this debate, you can't come up with an idea. Isn't it a waste of time?"
