In the middle of February of the second year of Jian 'an.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought on the border of Yanzhou, both winning and losing.
Cao Cao wrote a letter to clarify the misunderstanding, proposed a truce, and stated that the emperor would reward him.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed. He set up an altar in the Guandu camp and sent civil and military officials to stand by the roadside. He ordered the boy to sprinkle water on the road with willow branches, bathe and burn incense, and personally welcome them.
...
It was noon.
The grandson of Confucius, one of the Seven Sons of Jian An, the famous Kong Rong, Kong Beihai, had personally come as an envoy to confer the title of Rong Jie!
Burning incense, bathing, offering sacrifices to the heavens, and praying.
After a series of complicated formalities, Kong Rong finally spoke under Yuan Shao's proud gaze.
"In the spring of the second year of Jian 'an, Emperor Zhao of the Great Han Dynasty issued an edict saying: I heard that Yuan Ben, the herdsman of Jizhou, was originally loyal and upright as a guard in the palace. He spread virtue and kindness, kept his chastity and took advantage of righteousness to stabilize the country. I am very appreciative of him. Therefore, I hereby grant him the title of General and increase the number of households in Hebei by 3,000 households...”
Great General!
The world's strong soldiers and strong horses do it!
Who else but me?
When Yuan Shao heard the imperial edict, his head was held high!
Soon after, Kong Rong announced the emperor's decree, ordering him to take charge of the four prefectures and crusade against Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, which was in line with his wishes!
"Great General, please accept the talisman!”Kong Rong smiled and cupped his hands.
"Very good!" Under Kong Rong's furious expression, Yuan Shao did not follow etiquette and impatiently snatched the Tiger Tally, raising it up high!
"Great General!"
"Great General!"
Under the altar, hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted together!
"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh out loud! "Pass on my order to immediately stop fighting!"
"Let's rest for a few months first. After the autumn harvest, we'll go and attack Gongsun Zan!!”
"Good! Good!" When they heard that they were going to retreat to spring plowing, everyone cheered even more enthusiastically!!
However, no one noticed that Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and the others were frowning, and a trace of gloominess flashed across their faces…
...
A moment later, Yuan Shao set up a banquet to entertain the envoy group. He even placed fine wine and delicacies for his subordinates to enjoy.
The generals who had been punished for their incompetence in battle were also exonerated, and they were now feasting and celebrating.
"Those who have merit will not be rewarded, and those who have faults will not be punished..."
"Ignoring the people's livelihood, acting in a moment of anger, sending out all the troops, and rashly advancing with a light army, losing soldiers and generals.”
"Once you get what you want, you change your mind and celebrate wantonly…"
"These…That brat actually predicted everything…?？!”
At this moment, Guo Jia, who was disguised as Guo Ji, was mixed in with the envoy group. When he saw that the situation in front of him was almost exactly the same as what the other party had described, he couldn't help but be shocked!
This time, he took the initiative to volunteer and specially came here just to investigate this future great enemy, Yuan Shao.
He was willing to take such a huge risk just to grasp the situation of both sides and investigate with his own eyes.
But he did not expect that the situation here had already been predicted word for word by a stinky brat who had met Yuan Shao several hundred li away!!
Then what am I here for?
Guo Jia was shocked and dumbfounded.
After a long time, he sighed and could not help but sigh."He's really talented!"
Although that kid was sometimes very unreliable, and his schemes were all kinds of despicable and despicable.
However, it had to be said that his judgment was shockingly correct!
He even had the feeling of being a prophet!
Is there anyone in the world who can plan better than him?!
Guo Jia shook his head and praised, shocked beyond words…
Just as he sighed,
On the other side, Yuan Shao was very unhappy!
He was drinking happily and walking out of the tent with a flushed face, but he was stopped by his strategists!
In just a few words, he was furious.
" What?!"
"You want me to continue attacking Cao Cao?" Yuan Shao's eyes widened, and his mouth reeked of alcohol." You're the ones who want me to stop fighting. You're the ones who want me to retreat!"”
"Now that you've done as you wish and really want to retreat, you want me to continue attacking?？”
"Ha…!"
"Today, I am happy. You all quickly retreat and don't make a fuss. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!”Yuan Shao waved his hand impatiently.
"My lord, the situation is different now!" Tian Feng sighed.”
"Previously, we were busy with the spring plowing and could not raise our troops. At that time, there was still room for a strike. Now that the follow-up troops have been prepared, they can gather and rush over in at most half a month.”
"Moreover, Cao Mengde lowered his head so quickly. It clearly shows that he is afraid of the lord and does not dare to fight for a long time. He should take advantage of his weakness and attack Xu County in one go to welcome the emperor!”
"Ha…" Yuan Shao smiled and mumbled,"What nonsense are you talking about…?"”
"The Emperor just made me a Great General and ordered me to crusade against Gongsun Zan. Cao Aman even sent a letter to beg for mercy and was very respectful to me.”
"I have a grudge that I haven't avenged, but I still want to start a war with my own people?”
"Are you trying to frame me?!”
"Get lost!"
"My lord!"
There was something else that Tian Feng did not say. Cao Mengde was the only person who posed a huge threat. As long as he was eliminated, not only would the world be within his grasp, but at least the north of the Yangtze River would be invincible.
However, he also knew that his lord was proud and did not put others in his eyes at all. Saying such words would only backfire…
"Sigh…"
"Youzhou is bitterly cold, and Gongsun Zan has been defeated repeatedly. He's like a frightened bird now.”
"Since we're going to war with Cao Cao, we can't be lucky. Even if we have to waste our troops, we have to destroy him in one fell swoop…!”
"If I miss this opportunity and turn around to deal with Gongsun Zan, I will have to waste several years of my time…"
Tian Feng stomped his feet on the spot and sighed…
...
"So, Yuan Shao has already received the talisman and is preparing to retreat?”In the shogunate, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with surprise!
"Indeed. Yuan Shao received the emperor's decree and announced a truce on the spot. He still has to wait until after the autumn harvest to attack Gongsun Zan!”
Guo Jia had just rushed back from the Yuan Army camp overnight. When he heard this, he nodded and described.
"Great kindness!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly and put on airs.
He flicked his sleeves and said confidently," I knew that Yuan Shao was not worth worrying about!”
"To think that those strategists were terrified and the battle generals were flustered.”
"My lord is far-sighted!" Guo Jia cupped his hands expressionlessly.
"Right!" Cao Cao suddenly thought of something." Give me a beautiful concubine and let Zi Xiu send it to that Han brat…"
"Oh no…I'll go personally!"
