Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [210] Yuan Shao Intends To Attack Cao

Hebei, Yecheng.

A messenger rushed into Yuan Shao's mansion in a hurry, holding a military newspaper in his hand.

"Good news! Good news! Good news from Hanoi County!" shouted the messenger and rushed into the hall.

Yuan Shao was discussing matters with his advisers, so they couldn't help but look up now.

"What happened?" Yuan Shao asked immediately.

Victory report? Yuan Shao didn't know where and when the battle was going to start, but he was suddenly stunned by a victory report.

"My lord, a large number of Cao's troops crossed the river from Hangu Pass to the north bank, entered Hanoi County, and were discovered by our army.

"General Xianyu didn't have time to report to the lord, so he acted decisively. Taking advantage of Cao's unsteady foothold, he launched a surprise attack on Cao's army. This battle was a great victory, and the tens of thousands of troops crossing the river were completely killed or injured."

"According to the captive Cao Jun, they were chased and killed by Lu Bu for a while when they were on the south bank.

"The 200,000 troops brought out by Cao Cao this time can be said to have been completely lost and ceased to exist."

The general messenger finished the contents of the report in one breath, and told Yuan Shao the good news.

The more Yuan Shao heard it, the more excited he became. At the end, he couldn't help getting up from his seat, and came to the messenger, holding a general's newspaper in his hand, and carefully read it over and over again to confirm the authenticity of the news.

"Hahaha~~~"

After 397 repeatedly checked the contents of the military newspaper, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing up to the sky.

Yuan and Cao are each other's greatest enemies.

Now that Cao Cao lost 200,000 troops, he is not to mention how happy he is.

Hearing that Cao Cao was defeated, he was happier than Yuan Shao himself who won the battle.

Because he fought Lu Bu once and lost a lot of troops, Yuan Shao knew in his heart that his strength was slightly inferior to Cao Cao's.

But this time Cao Cao lost 200,000 troops in one breath, and Yuan Shao was in an absolute advantage in an instant.

"My lord, General Xianyu said that he sent troops without authorization and didn't inform the lord beforehand, so he asked the lord to surrender." The messenger said again.

"What's the crime?" Yuan Shao waved his big hand, "Hanoi County is under our rule, Cao Jun took the initiative to invade, and General Xian Yu, as the defender, should lead the army to attack and wipe out the enemies on the border. Not only is there no fault, but also meritorious service !"

"Handling, reward the soldiers of the three armies!"

"My lord is wise." Everyone in the hall spoke one after another.

"Hahaha~" Yuan Shao laughed again, "Thanks to Ziyuan, I was allowed to arrange troops in Hanoi County in advance. If it wasn't for this, I might lose a lot if I was suddenly killed by Cao Jun." 1

Yuan Shao boasted fiercely to Xu You, Xu You was also a little dazed, and then realized that Lu did not let him persuade Yuan Shao to send troops in Hanoi, it was just playing with borrowed swords to kill people.

But Xu You didn't have any opinion on this, and Lu Bu's action this time was giving Xu You some credit instead.

Now that he has become a second-five son and a successful minister, Xu You now likes to do things for Lu Bu more and more.

Not only can they get benefits from Lu Bu, but they can also get benefits from Yuan Shao, which is simply a win-win situation.

One job, can earn two wages, happy!

"My lord, it's a great compliment. This is the job of my subordinates." Xu You hurriedly humbled.

"That's right." Yuan Shao said suddenly: "Lu Bu wrote to remind me before, I thought Lu Bu was talking nonsense, but now it seems that what Lu Bu said is indeed true.

"That's fine, why did Lu Bu remind us so kindly?" Yuan Shao looked very confused.

Xu You immediately said: "Maybe I want to show my lord a good relationship, and want to reconnect with my lord. After all, my lord is now sitting in four states and is the strongest vassal in the world. Lu Bu probably doesn't want to be an enemy of my lord, so I took the initiative to show my lord." good."

"Then should we also express it?" Yuan Shao asked immediately.

Regarding Lu Bu, Yuan Shao actually didn't want to be too hostile.

In particular, Yuan Shao snatched Bingzhou from Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao was actually worried that Lu Bu would come to retaliate.

Now Cao Cao's strength has been greatly reduced, which made Yuan Shao think of annexing Cao Cao.

If you want to cross the river to attack Cao Cao, then Lu Bu must be steady, otherwise, if Lu Bu plays tricks at a critical moment, Yuan Shao can't afford the consequences.

Yuan Shao also wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could ease the relationship with Lu Bu, and then free up his hands and feet to plot against Cao Cao.

"My lord, Guanzhong is difficult to conquer. Cao Cao's 200,000 troops have fallen into the sand. Lu should not offend."

"Now that Cao Cao is in decline, we may try to win the land of Henan." Xu You continued: "If we can successfully eradicate the weeds, then my lord will have the land of holding soldiers (aebj) on both sides of the Yellow River."

"It's not too late to decide where the North belongs to after the strength has greatly increased, and then we will have a showdown with Lu Bu."

"My subordinates suggest that we should establish a good relationship with Lu Bu before we eliminate Cao Cao."

What Xu You said obviously coincided with Yuan Shao's thoughts, which made Yuan Shao appreciate Xu You even more.

When he was defeated by Lu Bu at the beginning, Xu You first facilitated the reconciliation between the two families, and then he predicted the enemy first, severely injured Cao Cao in Hanoi County, and made great achievements successively, which made Yuan Shao trust Xu You even more.

"Ziyuan's words are reasonable." Yuan Shao nodded again and again, "Then how do you say we should not ease the relationship with Lu?"

"Trade!" Xu You said without thinking.

Although after the war started, Xu You still smuggled a lot of things out through relationships and made a lot of money from Zhen Yan, but the risk of smuggling was still too great, and Xu You felt that the money was not at ease.

It's better to open up trade again, and feel at ease that you can still make money.

Moreover, if he took the initiative to persuade Yuan Shao to do business, he would definitely get a large sum of money from Zhen Yan.

"My lord, trade can not only strengthen communication and release goodwill, but we can also earn a lot of business tax, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?" Xu You began to confuse Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao could indeed earn some commercial taxes, and his income was considerable, but compared with Lu Bu, a second-hand dealer, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and Lu Bu earned hundreds of times more than Yuan Shao.

"Yes, trade is indeed a good thing, and I will leave it to you to handle it." Yuan Shao directly handed over the matter to Xu You.

Let Xu You take charge, this matter will definitely be done, there will be no twists and turns.

"Of order." Xu You immediately agreed.

"Restoring friendly relations with Lu Bu is one of them, and our focus is to annex Cao Cao." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "Now that Cao Cao's strength has been greatly compromised, this is undoubtedly a good time for us. Take advantage of Cao Cao's weakness , let's take it down!"

"My lord." Ju Shou got up immediately and said, "This subordinate thinks that we should expand the army again, and send troops directly after the autumn harvest!"

"Cao Cao lost his troops and generals at Hangu Pass, his entire army was wiped out, and all his supplies must have been lost."

"During this period of time, Cao Cao must have been unable to expand his army, leaving only 100,000 troops at hand.

"We took advantage of the time before the autumn harvest to develop rapidly, but Cao Cao's strength has stagnated. This is our opportunity to maximize our advantages."

The crusade against Lu Bu by the princes of the Four Routes started after the spring plowing and ended now. Even one spring has not passed, and the autumn harvest is still half a year away.

And Jushou's idea is to use this half year to train a new army to crush Cao Cao in terms of military strength, and take the land of Henan in one fell swoop.

"Okay!" Yuan Shao nodded immediately, "Immediately start military expansion drills, and at the same time establish a good relationship with Lu Bu to prevent Lu Bu from jumping out and intervening when we attack Cao Cao.

"No." Everyone clasped their fists and agreed, full of energy.

The current situation is very good for Yuan Shao's side.

Taking Bingzhou plus Hanoi and Hedong without a single soldier, Shao is the only winner in this alliance against Lu.

Not only that, the potential opponent Cao Cao suffered serious casualties this time, which is great news for Yuan Shao.

Under the ebb and flow, Yuan Shao saw a good opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao, and immediately decided to attack Cao Cao. .
