Chapter 108
Xi Zhicai said with some regret that since Mao Zhihua helped him treat his illness, his attitude towards Mao Zhihua has changed a lot, and he has become quite a fan of her younger brother.
At this time, Liu Bian turned to look at Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao has just returned from Yuan Shao's army. What does Fengxiao think of the army that was discovered today?"
Guo Jia frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said:
"The military discipline of Yuan Benchu's army is considered strict, and there are many good generals among them...Although before I left, there were rumors in the army that Yuan Benchu was going to fight Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping. , even if there is a war, there will not be so many deserters at once, right?"
The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan?
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai beside him were taken aback for a moment, then Cao Cao smiled and said:
"It seems that my brother Benchu is going to be exhausted. He was defeated by the lord not long ago, and the one who was killed fled and even left the tent and the antiques that he regarded as treasure on weekdays. Now he is still in shock. But he is facing Gongsun Zan, who has been fighting against the barbarians for many years. This battle will probably weaken his power again."
Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said, "Mr. Cao doesn't know something. Yuan Benchu's reputation in Yizhou is very high now, and he almost has the momentum to overwhelm Han Fu, the state shepherd. This battle may be a battle that Yuan Shao doesn't want to fight, but once it starts , there are definitely many people behind him. Even so, Gongsun Zan still has the upper hand based on military strength alone, but Yuan Benchu seems to win this battle..."
Guo Jia didn't finish what he said, but everyone had already thought of what he meant.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Mr. Feng Xiao said that if Yuan Benchu wins, this Yizhou..."
"Yizhou will fall into Yuan Shao's hands."
Liu Bian finished Cao Cao's words directly.
Liu Bian, who has the eyes of the plot, is naturally different from the subjective guesses of Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others. Regarding the current situation, he already understands what is about to happen.
In 191 AD, Yuan Shao captured Yizhou and then defeated Gongsun Zan. These two events almost happened at the same time. To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao took advantage of Gongsun Zan in order to seize the position of Yizhou Mu, and then turned against Gongsun Zan.
In this battle, no one was optimistic about Yuan Shao, but in the end Yuan Shao still won.
It's not yet time for the two to start a war, and Gongsun Zan hasn't officially started to march towards Yizhou yet. However, at this time, Yuan Shao's army has already started to have rumors of going to war with Gongsun Zan. It seems that things have begun to take shape. .
But there is another key figure in this matter, and that is the current Yizhou Mu Han Fu.
Han Fu's comprehensive ability is not strong, especially his military ability, but he has a group of capable people under him, whether it is general Zhang He, counselor Tian Feng Jusue, or judge Ju Yi, they can all be regarded as real talents.
It is precisely because of these talents that Yizhou has been governed very well, the people are rich and the soldiers are strong, but Han Fu, a mediocre person who is holding a big cake but can't hold it, makes the greedy Yuan Shao use it. The plan took it away.
Such a good place, since Yuan Shao can take it...
Liu Bian looked at the mountain peak not far away where the battle was taking place, and then turned to look in the direction of Yizhou, his eyes flashing!
If we can intercept Hu Yuan Shao again and control Yizhou, we won't have to worry about food, grass, military strength and other issues in the future!But the position of Yizhou Mu must be in the hands of his own people. So who should this position be given to...
Liu Bian tilted his gaze and landed on Cao Cao in front of him.
"Munde."
"Your Highness?"
Cao Cao was taken aback. Liu Bian seldom called him that in the presence of outsiders. Although Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia already knew Liu Bian's identity, there were still some handymen not far away.
And Liu Bian called him that, presumably because he really had something serious to talk to him about.
Liu Bian asked with a slight smile, "Would you like to be the shepherd of Yizhou?"
Would you like to be the shepherd of Yizhou?
One sentence, eight characters, but it shocked the three people around Liu Bian!
The first to bear the brunt is Cao Cao.
After listening to Liu Bian's words, he didn't even recover for a moment.
"Your Highness... you said... Yizhou Shepherd?"
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai also looked at Liu Bian in surprise, but Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao with piercing eyes and nodded.
"That's right, Yizhou Mu."
Liu Biandao: "Yizhou has a vast territory, fertile land, and rich products, but Yizhou Mu Hanfu is an incompetent and mediocre talent, which attracted Yuan Shao's coveting of Yizhou."
"And if my predictions are correct, Yuan Shao will soon take the position of Yizhou Mu, and at that time, it is also our chance! And by my side, the most qualified to lead the position of Yizhou Mu, naturally It's you, Meng De."
What Liu Bian said was not very clear. He only said that Yuan Shao was going to attack Yizhou Mu's position, but he didn't say how to make a move, let alone how he would take the opportunity to make a move, so Cao Cao hesitated.
"This……"
Cao Cao still couldn't believe it. Liu Bian was able to judge so much information based on a rumor in Yuan Shao's army that Guo Jia said.
On the contrary, Guo Jia next to him nodded solemnly and said:
"My lord's words are exactly what Guo Jia expected! No matter the method or method, just judging from the period of time I stayed in Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao really has this heart! He has a very high reputation in Yizhou, It's probably because he intentionally made friends with the ministers of Yizhou, plus the Yuan family's four generations and three princes, this background is indeed very bluffing."
"So even if the lord doesn't say anything, I will tell the lord about it. Yuan Shao has been coveting the position of Yizhou Mu for a long time. Once the time is right, he will definitely make a move!"
Guo Jia's words made several other people pay attention to this matter.
Xi Zhicai thought for a while and then nodded: "As Feng Xiao said, the master's plan is not impossible to realize! Yuan Shao has a high reputation in Yizhou, so he should not use internal troops to seize Yizhou. And There will definitely be a situation where Han Fu has to give up the position of Yizhou State Shepherd to him! In this way, the reputation he has accumulated can also be put to use, and once he takes the position, he can also get the support of many people .At this time, if we can discover the method used by Yuan Shao first...and do something in it, we will surely capture Yizhou!"
"Not bad!"
Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard Xi Zhicai's words, and continued: "Yuan Shao's reputation is great, but Han Fu is also wary of him! As early as when Yuan Shao fled to Yizhou to avoid Dong Zhuo's pursuit, Han Fu Therefore, he was very wary of him. After Yuan Shao became the leader of the Eighteenth Route Alliance, his reputation was at its peak, and he was also quite disrespectful towards Han Fu. Han Fu had been dissatisfied with him for a long time! If Han Fu was forced to give up Yizhou Mu When dealing with others, as long as he has a choice other than Yuan Shao, he will definitely not choose Yuan Shao! What the Lord and Brother Zhicai said is very promising!"
Looking at the two people around him, Liu Bian felt extremely relieved, and once again realized the convenience of having such a top counselor by his side. He just mentioned an idea, and the two of them had already considered the feasibility of the matter.
