Chapter 523 Bravely Take the Blame
Faced with Yuan Shang's doubts, Yuan Tan turned his head back, smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Third brother, this matter has nothing to do with me, you should ask your father."
"..." Yuan Shao's expression turned pale, and he was burning with anger.
Son, even if you shake the pot, you can't shake it so hard.
Just buckle it down like this?
"What! Dad? Could it be you!" Yuan Shang was shocked.
"This..." Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shang, and then at Yuan Tan.
Take a deep breath, he has to bear the blame.
Who made him agree to this strategy after hearing it at that time.
But then again, it wasn't the original intention at the time, it was just that this strategy was too tempting.
Nodded, as if weighing a thousand catties.
Yuan Shang was dumbfounded, is it really okay to sell his son like this?
wrong!
This must be the big brother's poisonous plan!
He still figured out something.
But my father was willing to take the blame.
Not a good person either!
Don't dare to judge too much.
He didn't dare to continue to blame others, who let himself fall into the trap first.
I can predict it in advance, which is too powerful, right?
As if he had been through it.
Yuan Shang also had to give in at the moment.
His heart moved.
Dad has no choice but to come out and take the blame, right?
So, with a puff, he knelt down in front of Yuan Shao.
Not a word was said.
But even the nearby soldiers know what it means.
Take other people to fish, the fish catches, but the people disappear.
Or did your father do it?
Injustice or not?
Too wronged.
Not saying a word is equivalent to a thousand words.
Yuan Shao had no choice but to speak out what was on his mind, "Get up, I will make arrangements."
"Here!"
Yuan Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the Yuan family had an army of 300,000, and tens of thousands of people were arranged casually.
It was a blessing in disguise, and only the third son had such treatment.
Ju Yi, Yang Xiu, and Jiang Gan also breathed a sigh of relief.
People like Zhong Yao's trial and match with Fengji took a closer look. It is true that the eldest son is strong, but the prime minister will always make arrangements.
Guo Tuxin commented on people like Chen Lin with hidden ridicule and disdain.
Guo Jia looked deeper, not to mention that he is now Yuan Tan's person. Even if he is still in the wild, he will not follow a lord who needs to be arranged.
He also represents a considerable number of people with lofty ideals in the world.
Yuan Tan didn't take it seriously, as he was destined to take another path as a time traveler.
Today's 50,000 Divine Strategy Army is the foundation for him to stand in this troubled world.
In the future, grow stronger in the war, one hundred thousand, five hundred thousand.
Of course, there is also some wishful thinking.
Machiavellian tricks, his cheap daddy is not an idiot.
...
night.
Puyang, East County, is the base camp of Cao Cao's former enemy, the first line of defense against the Yuan family going south.
The whole city is under martial law and the lights are blacked out.
In the government office, however, the lights are brightly lit.
Cao Cao fled back here in a panic.
Xiahou Dun and the others were like beggars in broken armor.
"My lord, you can take a shower and change your clothes first."
"What kind of bath should you take? What kind of clothes should you change? Let's take a look at each other's appearances, let's be brave after knowing our shame!"
Everyone dared not say a word.
Hurry up and surround Cao Cao and sit high in the hall.
Therefore, the house is full of despair.
At this moment, Cao Cao is calm on the surface, but his mentality has exploded.
Vanguard was completely defeated.
Losing the most powerful mobile corps means that they can't go out into the wild at all, and can only defend passively.
In the history of Cao Cao's southern and northern wars, has he ever suffered such a blow.
Who doesn't bow down before him?
Anyone who can give him a small setback can leave a name in history, let alone such a catastrophe.
Cao Cao had a gloomy face. Today's battle will definitely be recorded in the annals of history. Those historians should have already burned the lamps and nights, writing hard, right?
The stain of a lifetime.
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed.
Sima Yi and the others were taken aback. If there was anything happy there, they must be angry.
"Yuan Tan, you really are my rival in life." Cao Cao's smile faded away, his expression serious, "Do you have any high opinions on the future?"
With disheveled hair, Sima Yi said, "My lord, this battle may last for several years."
Now Cao Cao's three states are against Yuan's four states.
It looks like a disadvantage, but it actually has a huge advantage in defense.
The tiger and leopard cavalry lost a lot, but in terms of defense, Cao Jun's arms and legs were not interrupted as a whole, and various "physiological functions" were still sound.
Who wins and who loses is hard to predict.
Do your best to obey the destiny.
"Mr. Cao, you are back."
Everyone looked up, it was Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was neatly dressed, looking at his face, he should have just trimmed his beard and hair.
The big ears are flicking and flicking, and they are very free and easy.
This made everyone in the downcast wind gradually look dirty and a little annoyed.
Liu Bei was really shocked when he saw that the hall was full of beggar generals and beggar military advisers.
Looking at Cao Cao again, he is not much better, his face is ashamed and his eyes are black. Did he rub it with dirty hands?
I suddenly felt that I came at the wrong time, but I couldn't go back.
At the same time, there is an indescribable pleasure.
Subconsciously, he scratched the socket of his leg with his arm over his knee.
Cao Cao was embarrassed at first, but soon he didn't care. Instead, he brushed up his loose 'hair'. He just wanted to use this situation to remind himself of the lesson this time.
"Mr. Xuande, please sit down."
Seeing that no one was sitting, Liu Bei quit his seat, bowed his hands, and said solemnly: "Yuan Tan is as cunning as a fox, poisonous as a snake, and ruthless as a wolf, which is rare in the world, and if he is careless, he will plot against him. The three brothers Liu Bei are not talented, but they are willing to serve Duke Cao and are always at your service.”
Cao Cao was very relieved when he heard the words. Since the Battle of Xuzhou, he didn't let Liu Bei leave him, just to use Liu Bei for such a day.
Mainly use the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
In ancient warfare, generals were very important. After all, our generals were chased by the enemy's generals, and this battle would definitely not be fought.
Beside Sima Yi's cold eyes, this Liu Bei is a character, he can talk and make troubles, no wonder he was able to get from a white body to his current status in the world.
"Mr. Xuande, to tell you the truth, this time it was a complete defeat..." Cao Cao sighed, touching his forehead.
Liu Bei also heard that less than a thousand of the tiger and leopard cavalry escaped from the siege.
If it weren't for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I'm afraid there would be nothing left.
In other words, Cao Cao was so proud of the cavalry that swept across the Central Plains, and there were not many left.
It is no longer enough for large-scale battles, and can only play a role in local battlefields.
This greatly reduced the mobility of Cao Jun.
Without mobility, the enemy can attack everywhere without fear of being cut off.
Yuan Tan designed him just to get this result.
"We must take revenge." Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi, Cheng Yu and other counselors with cold eyes and dissatisfaction.
As military advisers, they are still very ashamed.
Cao Cao didn't complain, and he wanted to bear the blame for this defeat.
Moreover, Yuan Tan was able to plan such a long-term plan, which greatly exceeded the ability of a military adviser.
Come to think of it, it was just a flash in the pan.
Sima Yi, as an ambitious person who wants to show off his ambitions, knows that he must come up with a way to deal with the current situation.
Only by protecting Cao Cao can he have a future.
Along the way, he was also thinking hard, and had some clues, and said: "My lord, since Yuan Tan won the vanguard battle, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Puyang. I have a plan."
Puyang is the center of the Eastern Commandery. Obtaining Puyang opened the channel for the Yuan family to invade the Central Plains in an all-round way.
So the Yuan family will definitely come.
"What's the plan?"
"It's like this. If you want to use this strategy, you still need to search for money and food from rich households in the city..."
An hour later.
Cao Cao went back to rest.
The female servants and servants they met were kneeling by the side of the road. They saw Cao Cao's gloomy face, so scary, they didn't dare to breathe.
"My lord." Xia Houen, the head of the guard, opened the door of the room himself, followed Cao Cao in, and hurriedly closed the door. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to everyone: "Serve carefully."
"Here." Everyone responded in a low voice.
At this time, Cao Cao's roar came from the room, "I'm so mad!"
Everyone was shocked. Obviously, Cao Cao had been enduring it all the time, and finally there was no one else, so he vented out.
Click, followed by the sound of smashing something.
Everyone was sweating profusely, and they were really pissed off by the eldest son of the Yuan family.
"Xiahouen, get the hell out of here!"
Xia Houen's hair stood on end, he hurriedly opened the door and walked in, kneeling in panic, "My lord?"
Cao Cao pointed angrily at the porcelain shards on the ground, "This kind of thing is forbidden in the future."
Grinding his teeth, he said, "Never give Yuan Tan a penny!"
"Here!" Xiahouen said loudly.
late at night.
Cao Cao folded his clothes and lay on the bed, tossing and turning sleeplessly.
Thinking about Sima Yi's strategy.
I think this strategy is still very good.
When it succeeds, it can delay the Yuan family for at least half a year, buying precious time for its own operations.
If it is a big success and Yuan Tan's life is in danger, then the entire war situation will be completely reversed.
"Sima Zhongda is a remarkable person." He rarely made such an evaluation.
