Chapter 704
The reason why Zhong Yao was able to climb so high was because of his contribution to convince Ma Teng and Han Sui. The high-quality update is now, but now, Ma Teng has rebelled, and Zhong Yao’s previous contribution is gone. To be honest, Cao Cao did not demote Zhong Yao to this, and did not imprison Zhong Yao in prison, which is already very considerate. Well, give Guo Jia face.
Don’t think it’s exaggerated. This was the case in ancient times. Especially when it comes to rebellion, it’s not up to you. It doesn’t matter whether you want to destroy the three clans or not. When Zhong Yao first persuaded Ma Teng, it was actually like a disguised guarantee. But now it has proved that Ma Teng had an objection when he came to Xudu to be granted. If that’s the case, who knows if you were in private? What if you were united to sue him? Based on the principle of killing and not letting go, it is definitely not an exaggeration to pursue Zhong Yao’s charge.
Of course, Cao Cao is not an ordinary superior. Even if he does not have Guo Jia's face, Cao Cao probably won't do anything to Zhong Yao, but a slight punishment is definitely essential.
Therefore, although it is a transfer of the same level, it is also a "superior surrender". Before, Zhong Yao was a captain of the Sili School, and he was considered a giant in the border town. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. He could do whatever he wanted. Who could still talk about Zhong Yao's head? But now, you can just mobilize hundreds of troops and ask for instructions from others. It is said that only when you arrive in the capital, you will know that the official is small. In this capital, the most important thing is high officials. High-quality updates
As for this matter, keen people can often see more. Zhong Yao's mobilization is just a signal, a signal that Cao Cao is gradually weakening Guo Jia's actual power. This time Cao Cao moved Zhong Yao, and the next time Cao Cao probably moved Chen Deng. These are the hidden dangers that Cao Cao thought of instantly when he was sending people to intercept Yuan Shu. Sure enough, he had been doing a good job in the position of Guangling Prefecture. Even Chen Deng, who had repeatedly resisted the threat of the Sun family in Jiangdong, was transferred by Cao Cao to Dongjun to become the prefect. Cao Cao transferred such a talent that was enough to resist strong enemies, enough to adapt to the situation, and even enough to take the initiative to attack from a border town to an abdomen area without war, in order to weaken Guo Jia's side forces. Of course, the specific thing is the later story, and I won't mention it for now.
......
With the death of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Yuan Shao in the north finally couldn't sit still. His initial worries were fulfilled little by little. If he did not launch a general attack, if Cao Cao was left alone, Cao Cao would face many opportunities. Wouldn't this be a problem? Let Cao Cao slowly grow up?!
So, this day was quite sudden and long-awaited. Yuan Shao personally led his troops south to launch a decisive battle with Cao Cao!
But Yuan Shao was preparing to launch a general attack on Cao Cao. Tian Feng jumped out to oppose it first.
Tian Feng said: Liu Bei was causing trouble in Xuzhou before, so I asked you to beat you or not. Now that Liu Bei has been destroyed, Cao Cao is ready in Xudu. High-quality updates are still a flaw!
It may be that Tian Feng is speaking more aggressively (→_→), after all, Yuan Shao may not listen to the objections. But it does not mean that Yuan Shao cannot listen to the objections. The reason why Yuan Shao is indecisive is not that he is harmed by these various opinions! So, normally, Tian Feng’s opposition. Yuan Shao is at worst and just ignores it, and he won’t do anything to Tian Feng. Perhaps Tian Feng is used to opposing it on weekdays and has never seen Yuan Shao treat him, so he gradually rubs his nose and faces.
In short, this time Yuan Shao was angered by Tian Feng. He directly pulled the people out and chopped them off on the grounds that Tian Feng disturbed the morale of the army before the war. After the persuasion beside him, he was only temporarily detained. In fact, Yuan Shao had no intention of killing Tian Feng at all at this time. Not only did he not kill him, Yuan Shao also had to keep Tian Feng well.
Because only in this way, only when Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao in the future and returns triumphantly will he be able to pull Tian Feng out and show off to him: Didn’t you say you can’t beat him?! Didn’t you say something else to me now?!
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao returned in a crushing defeat, so Tian Feng became tragic later.
Of course, at this moment, no one in the world except Guo Jia would know about this.
So, Yuan Shao held a oath-taking meeting to inspire morale and raise troops to fight south. He sent general Yan Liang as a vanguard to attack Baima first.
In response, Ju Su advised,
"Yan Liang is narrow-minded and brave, but he cannot be alone."
As a result, Yuan Shao disagreed and replied,
"You are not something you can expect."
Look, look, I am also opposed, why didn’t I see Yuan Shao lock Ju Su up? So, you can’t be Ota Toki, you should take care of him..... Cough cough.
In short, the vanguard general Yan Liang attacked Baima, while Yuan Shao himself leaned slightly behind and the army was in charge of Liyang. With first-hand information, the nearest prefect of Dongjun Liu Yan hurriedly rushed to Xuchang. Cao Cao immediately dispatched troops and prepared to come forward to meet the enemy.
When Guan Yu heard that Cao Cao was dispatching troops, he immediately approached Cao Cao and asked for a fight.
Since Guan Yu came to Xudu, Cao Cao took a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days, taking care of Guan Yu and rewarding all kinds of things. It was like he was to give his beloved wife. Yes, it was like Guo Jia was away and had no wife at all, but suddenly he saw a very bright flower blooming next to him. Hey, it was good to give it to Diao Chan when he was back, and Diao Chan liked these things. When he saw a marten jumping over and beating me, I wanted to make a marten coat for Da Qiao. Da Qiao was often too lazy to move, and I was afraid that she would catch a cold.
Cao Cao is the same now. He won't say that all kinds of gold and silver beauties are rewarded. Hey? The clothes are old, and new clothes are given; Hey? The horse is thin, and the red rabbit is given; Hey? The beard needs to be maintained, and he uses yarn as a bag to protect Guan Gong's beard. In short, Cao Cao can think of Guan Yu first, whether Guan Yu needs it or not, and whether Guan Yu looks good on him (hello), which is better than his wife.
Guan Yu is a loyal person. How could Guan Yu not repay him so well? Therefore, when he heard that Cao Cao was going to fight, Guan Yu immediately volunteered. Where else could Guan Yu repay Cao Cao in addition to the battlefield? (In the bed? Look, I won’t poke your eyes blind)
However, if Guan Yu knew that Liu Bei was on Yuan Shao's side at this time, he probably wouldn't have fought even if Cao Cao asked him. It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao rejected Guan Yu's kindness this time, because Cao Cao had received information that Liu Bei was now a guest minister in Yuan Shao's place!
