Chapter 369: Merge States


For the sake of safety, Yuan Shao, and other counselors also believed that it was safest to stick to Jizhou instead of taking risks.

He did not choose the suggestion given by Xu You and go straight to Chang'an, and he was also worried that Liu Qi would send troops to attack him with Cao Cao.

In addition, this time he took Jingzhou City directly, secretly planned Yanzhou, and then persuaded Zhang Baiqi to open up the land of Nanyang and join forces, and the plan to occupy Jingzhou failed.

It also made him feel more hesitant, and even less interested in taking Chang'an directly.

Taken together.

Yuan Shao also gave up the idea of ​​directly raiding Cao Cao's lair. .

Although he really wanted to make Cao Cao pay for breaking the contract, and taking Chang'an was the best revenge for Cao Cao.

In the past, he would have given the order directly, but now, he has The difference is different, and I have concerns in my heart, so I can only choose a safe plan.

Wait for Yuan Shao to turn around and walk towards the back hall.

The counselors and generals in the hall also left together in twos and threes.

Although Yan Liang and other generals were a little unhappy, Yuan Shao had already given the order and they had no choice but to accept it.

However, I also have my own opinions on these counselors.

They decided to abandon Jinyang directly.

To put it nicely, it means to temporarily avoid the edge and preserve their strength.

To put it badly, it means that no matter who leads the army to support these generals, they will not be able to hold Jinyang.

They are not as good as Cao Jun.

Although Jinyang is likely to have fallen before reinforcements arrive, if the two armies meet and fight, the outcome is uncertain, and it is possible to retake the lost ground.

Therefore, there is also a lot of dissatisfaction with the counselors who think that they are inferior to Cao Jun. and.

Xu You was the only one who left the hall last.

Looking at Yuan Shao's disappeared figure, he also sighed, with a tangled expression, shook his head, took some heavy steps, and walked out of the hall.

Although the strategy he proposed was risky, anything is 100% certain.

Where there are risks, there are opportunities.

And he did not propose such a strategy without any basis.

The possibility of success depends on Bigger than the risk.

The outcome can be decided in one battle.

What's more, if it succeeds, then Cao Cao will never be able to stand up again.

After that, if he conquers all the soldiers and horses that Cao Cao has, the world will be at his fingertips.

What a pity Yuan Shao is no longer what he once was, and his counselors are divided into two factions because of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan.

Before their great cause is accomplished, they are already fighting and suppressing each other, causing internal and external troubles.

Moreover, he can think of these, and the strategies of Guo Tu, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others are no worse than his.

It is impossible not to think of these, but he is still like this.

It is obvious that he is afraid that once the strategy succeeds, his position in Yuan Shao's heart will be stabilized. , no one can provoke me anymore.

The most important thing is that he is not a member of two factions.

This also means that if the strategy he proposes is beneficial to both parties or one party, then someone will stand up to help, otherwise it will be a rebuttal.

Coupled with Yuan Shao's character, it is even more impossible to implement it under the opposition of so many people.

Left the mansion.

Xu You didn't say anything, and walked silently to his mansion.

His eyes kept flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking or planning.

Bingzhou.

Near Jinyang.

In a plain, flags were fluttering and camps stood tall.

The camps are endless, like a grown snake, with no end in sight.

There are also many soldiers walking around in each camp.

Among the Chinese army.

There is a bright red main flag, fluttering in the wind, with a black word Cao on it.

This is where Cao Jun Anza was located.

After listening to the opinions of Xi Zhicai and others, Cao Cao thought and analyzed, and chose to attack Bingzhou instead of Jingzhou.

He could also understand that even if he captured Jingzhou, Liu Qi would not be able to recover after a fall, and he would not be able to completely capture the entire land of Jingzhou, and would still have disputes with other princes.

As for the plan to seize Bingzhou, and the events in Jingzhou that disturb the view, as long as you move quickly enough, you can completely capture the entire Bingzhou land and seize half of the Bingzhou land controlled by Yuan Shao.

The current situation also proves that it was a very correct choice to give up the capture of Jingzhou and seek to merge the state.

Only one Jinyang was left, and he could completely capture the entire Bingzhou land.

However, the princes who went to occupy Jingzhou did not capture even a single piece of land, and in the end they all returned to their own territories in embarrassment.

Especially his opponent Yuan Shao suffered the heaviest losses this time.

Fifty thousand elite troops entered Jingzhou, but only a few thousand came back.

Almost even Yan Liang and Shen Pei were unable to withdraw.

This was what made him happiest. .

Although he took the opportunity to conquer Yuan Shao's Bingzhou territory in one go, leaving only Jinyang, the last place, Yuan Shao realized that it was hard to say whether he would lead an army to Jinyang to have a showdown with him.

Yuan Shao lost more than 40,000 elite soldiers when he captured Jingzhou.

It would be much easier to face him, and it would be even easier to defeat Yuan Shao.

And he can also understand that the situation in his army is not suitable for long-term combat at all.

He can only fight quickly, and that is what he wants.

Once there is a long-term battle, it is very likely that he will lose, not Yuan Shao.

Fortunately.

Because they secretly dispatched a large army to conceal their whereabouts, they captured the remaining cities in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

Now even if Yuan Shao leads his troops, it can't change this fact.

The only thing left is to repel the soldiers and horses that Yuan Shao may send or personally lead his troops to support.

Then the captured city can be stabilized.

Yuan Shao There would be no way to regain these territories, and he would not let Yuan Shao have the possibility to regain these territories.

However, Cao Cao still wanted to capture the entire Bingzhou area.

After all, there was only the last place left, and Yuan Shao's reinforcements had not yet arrived.

As long as Jinyang is captured before Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive, then there will be nothing wrong with Yuan Shao.

We have all arrived here, and we are not willing to take down the last place.

Moreover, there is no chance.

It just depends on who moves fast enough.

Even if Jinyang is not captured before the reinforcements arrive, he will not suffer any losses.

He can just retreat to other places and confront Yuan Shao.

But if he wins it, he will be able to unify the land that merged with the state, and he will be one step closer to unifying the northern part of the Central Plains.

Moreover, he who owns the three states will be able to develop better.

At that time, Yuan Shao was no longer his opponent, and he had coveted Jizhou for a long time. so.

Cao Cao was also in the main tent, raising the tent to discuss matters.

Discuss how to quickly capture Jinyang and block Yuan Shao's reinforcements from Bingzhou:
