Chapter 671

For a time, Yuan and Cao each launched three armies. On Cao Cao's side, Lu Bu lowered his hand and generals Zang Ba guarded Qing and Xu; Yu Jin and Li Dian stationed troops on the river; Cao Ren's army stationed in Guandu. It can be said that all the main generals in Cao Cao's camp had been deployed on the northern border by Cao Cao. Naturally, the same was true for Yuan Shao. However, the two armies were eighty miles apart, and each had deep ditches and high bases, but they were in stalemate.

Obviously, now this is just an advance arrangement, and does not mean that the war will start directly, indicating that the future military focus is here. This is also natural. Yuan Shao has now unified the entire north. Even if he is not enterprising, he must have to deploy heavy troops to the south in order to prevent others from invading.

In short, at this time, Yuan Shao was still arguing whether to go south to invade immediately, or to slow down first, and wait until the internal governance is done before going south. Regarding this point, Tian Feng, headed by Tian Feng, did not advocate attacking immediately. He advocated taking it slowly and slowly consuming Cao Cao; then Shen Pei and others supported the attack immediately and destroyed Cao Cao in one breath.

This is definitely because the father is right and the mother is right. Perhaps in terms of the background, Yuan Shao has the advantage and is very suitable for fighting slowly. But looking at the years, although Cao Cao has experienced ups and downs, his growth rate is definitely much faster than Yuan Shao. Moreover, Cao Cao now has Emperor Xian in his hands. If he drags on for a long time, no one will guarantee any changes.

Although Yuan Shao has now unified the four northern prefectures, don’t forget that this also means that if Yuan Shao doesn’t attack Cao Cao, he will stop moving forward and will always have only these four prefectures. But Cao Cao. If he doesn’t attack Yuan Shao, Cao Cao can also attack Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and even then attack Yizhou. Not to mention that Cao Cao defeated Sun Ce and occupied Jiangdong, then, there will be no certainty of the strength between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!

Moreover, at this time, Yuan Shao had just defeated Gongsun Zan and his morale was invincible. On the other hand, most of Cao Cao seemed a little scared. Many ministers even thought that Cao Cao was not his opponent and were looking for a way out in advance. Such a great opportunity, if you don’t cherish it and leave it alone, you will have to rectify it internally by the future, but your morale is no longer there, and the people on Cao Cao’s side probably will not fluctuate. At that time, even if you can defeat Cao Cao, will it be easy?

Tian Feng's idea may be small, but it will definitely take time and effort; if you can achieve your goal in one go, the key risks may not be greater than the former.

However, Yuan Shao has always been indecisive, and such ambiguous thing will obviously make Yuan Shao a headache again. However, soon, the characters who influence balance appear, yes, that is Guo Tu!

Guo Tu is hard to say about other talents, but the skill of flattery is definitely first-class! The previous two solutions may be somewhat unsure for Yuan Shao’s camp, but for Yuan Shao? Don’t forget that people have dreams, ambitions, and great ambitions! Whether it is dreams, ambitions, or great ambitions, they usually have to be completed by themselves in their lifetime! Those who give them to future generations are usually either cowards or losers.

Any princes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who have been fighting in all directions for many years do not dream of unifying the world and establishing the cause of kings and dominance! Although from the perspective of the family, it may be more secure to do it by several generations, but from a personal perspective, how many people do not want everything to be done by themselves. Like Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who has made achievements for generations and has been worshipped and respected for generations?!

If Yuan Shao was ten years younger, then Guo Tu might be on Tian Feng's side. But now, Yuan Shao is all a grandfather. Yuan Shao's sons have already married and had children. At the normal age of ancient times, even if there is no accident, how many decades can Yuan Shao have? Even if he can really dominate the world in the end, will he still enjoy it?!

It can be said that Cao Cao in the future Battle of Chibi had similar ideas to Yuan Shao now. He thought that he was sure to win and would not lose, that was just a prerequisite. The key was that they were unwilling to wait, and perhaps they could not wait.

Therefore, when Guo Tu and others also jumped out to support the dispatch of troops, and Xu You and Xun Chen also agreed to this proposal, which was exactly what Yuan Shao wanted, so Yuan Shao finally decided to send troops to attack Cao Cao and began to discuss the matter of raising troops.

In ancient times, or in any period, the first thing that is to be affected by war is naturally public opinion attacks. Usually, one must be regarded as a righteous army, especially the party that takes the initiative to attack, and must be justified. So Guo Tu suggested,

"With the righteousness of Ming Gong, Cao, he must repeatedly attack Cao, and promulgate the counties to criticize the crimes, and then be justified."

Yuan Shao thought he was a great charity and was just a joke. Others might not care about it, but Yuan Shao always cares about such rules and regulations the most. If there was no such thing, why would Yuan Shao beat him?

So, Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin, who was the best literary under his command, to draft a manifesto. The famous historical "Edict to Yuan Shao's Yuzhou Literature" was born.

......

"I heard that the wise ruler was trying to prevent changes, and loyal ministers were worried that it would be difficult to establish power. Therefore, there were extraordinary people, and then there were extraordinary things; there were extraordinary things, and then they made extraordinary achievements. The extraordinary people were imposed by extraordinary people...Sikong Cao Cao: the grandfather, the general servant Teng, and the left coffin, Xu Huang, and acted as a demon, and the Taotie was arbitrary, and the people were harmed and abused; his father Song begged to carry him to raise him, because of the stolen seats, carriages, chariots and jades, the power of goods, stole the tripods, and overturned the heavy weapons. The eunuchs were left with no virtue, and they had no morals, and they had a cunning victory, and they were willing to be confused and happy... Therefore, the prefect of Jiujiang border handover...Therefore, the Grand Marshal Yang Biao...The person who got the head was granted five thousand households and rewarded 50 million yuan. The subordinate generals and officials surrendered, and did not ask any questions. It is better to be kind and trustworthy, and the chariots were rewarded and informed the world, and all the people knew that the Holy Dynasties were difficult to be imprisoned. As the law order! Well, um, wonderful~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"ah!!"

Guo Jia suddenly woke up from the bed.

"Husband, what's wrong? Have you had a nightmare? What's wrong with your body?" Zhen Mi gently wiped the sweat from Guo Jia's forehead.

"I'm fine, don't worry, maybe I've had a nightmare." Guo Jia sat up, took a few breaths, and shouted outside,

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow!"

"Young Master? What's the matter?" Tomorrow was woken up in the outdoor room, and he didn't complain at all. He asked while wearing clothes.

"Go and find Liu Ye for me." Guo Jia said immediately.

"Liu Ye? Now?" Ming'er couldn't help asking, it was not dawn yet.

"That's right, ask someone to go and seal his mouth before dawn." Guo Jia said.
