Chapter 160
Xu Youguo and Tu were also dumbfounded at the moment.
Just a moment ago, they were still in front of Yuan Shao, making contributions to Yuan Tan.
At the next moment, Yuan Tan actually became Liu Bei's prisoner!
This face is slapping and crackling~ Ah...
"What do you say, you tell the old man again-!"
Yuan Shao changed color even more, and asked Xin Bi angrily.
Xin Bi had no choice but to make a bitter face, and said gloomily Xiao Yuanhai's plan to attack Qingzhou and cut off Yuan Tan's way back.
The anger on Yuan Shao's face turned into shock and astonishment, as if he had heard a fantasy.
"How is this possible?"
"The wind and waves on the sea are ten times that of the river, and since ancient times, I have never heard of a sneak attack on Qingzhou from the floating sea in Yangzhou?"
"How did Liu Bei's army do it?"
Xu You was incredulous, and he was also shocked and unbelieving.
Xin Bi said with a bitter face: "When we learned the news, we couldn't believe it, but that's the case, Liu Bei's army did it!"
Xu You gasped and fell into a stunned distraction.
"Xiao Yuan, this thief can come up with such a plan, the old man really underestimated him..."
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth secretly, and there was both annoyance and surprise between his eyebrows.
"Lord!"
"The eldest prince was captured by Guan Yu, Qingzhou is in danger, you must save it!"
"Please move to Xuzhou immediately to rescue the eldest prince!"
Xu You came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke to Yuan Shao.
Guo Tu also reacted, and immediately agreed, asking Yuan Shao to transfer troops to attack Xuzhou and force Liu Bei to release Yuan Tan.
These strategists of the Ruying faction are already in chaos at the moment, and in order to save Yuan Tan, they can't care about the Guandu Cao Jun in front of them.
"Lord, don't do it!"
"The Cao thief is already at the end of the crossbow, and in the past, we will be able to break through Guandu, take Xu Du directly, and destroy the Cao thief!"
"If you move to Xuzhou at this moment, won't it be a failure!"
Frustrated, who had been silent, immediately stood up against it.
"The public and the words are reasonable!"
"Please take the overall situation first, and don't let Liu Bei disrupt the strategy. "
As one of the few generals who can participate in the military discussion, Zhang He also stood on the side of frustration.
These two military generals of the Hebei Gang, whether they are public or private, are resolutely opposed to Yuan Shao turning his gun.
Yuan Shao's brows were deeply locked, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
If you don't move to Xuzhou, Qingzhou is in danger of being attacked and plundered by Liu Bei, and you can't put pressure on Liu Bei to release him to Yuan Tan.
Moving to Xuzhou is equivalent to giving Cao Cao a chance to breathe, and the good situation of destroying Cao Cao will fall short.
Yuan Shao wants everything, but he doesn't have the best of both worlds.
"My lord. "
That Guan Yu did not take the opportunity to enter Qingzhou, but retreated back to Xiapi. "
"Then Xiao Yuan said that Liu Bei just wanted to take revenge on the eldest prince for invading Xuzhou, and it seemed that he had no intention of starting a full-scale war with the lord. "
He also said that if the lord wanted to claim back the eldest prince, he would send someone to Yingtian to negotiate with Liu Bei on terms. "
Simbi, who was lying on the ground, interrupted the argument of the people.
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and his face swept up with pride:
"The old man knows that the weaver and the shoe seller dare not openly make enemies with the old man, let alone hurt the old man's beloved son!"
Guo Tu was also showing joy and volunteered: "Lord, Tu Yuan will go to Yingtian to pick up the eldest prince!"
Yuan Shao was about to agree.
Xin Bi said: "Lord, that Xiao Yuan said, Liu Bei only talked to Xu Ziyuan, and the others went to Yingtian, but he didn't see it!"
Yuan Shao was stunned, and looked at Xu You suspiciously.
Xu You also had a question mark on his face, and he didn't understand why Liu Bei designated himself to go to Yingtian.
Do you think that only he can go to the board?
Thinking of this, Xu You felt a little proud in his heart.
"Xu Ziyuan, are you willing to go to Yingtian and ask the big-eared thief to get Tan'er back?"
Yuan Shao couldn't be suspicious, so he asked.
Xu You came back to his senses and said angrily: "I wish to go to Yingtian, and I will save the eldest prince for the lord!"
Yuan Shao's face softened slightly, and he ordered Xu You to set off immediately and go to Yingtian.
Xu Yu hurriedly said goodbye.
Yuan Shao turned his gaze to Cao Ying in front of him, and shouted: "Mobilize 10,000 crossbowmen to climb Tushan and shoot Cao Jun to death for the old man!"
Liu Bei ate deflated, he wanted to take revenge on Cao Cao.
10,000 Yuan army archers climbed dozens of earth mountains.
Arrows rained down, enveloping the entire Guandu Cao camp.
...
Guandu, Cao Ying Barrier.
Cao Cao, under the protection of the Tiger Guard, with a shield wall on his head, personally came to the front to boost morale.
Yuan Jun was high up, condescending to release arrows at will, suppressing the Cao soldiers to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, so they could only shrink under the camp wall trembling.
"Yuan Benchu, you have a lot of soldiers, and you actually pile up mountains of dirt under my nose, it is really too deceitful!"
Cao Cao gritted his teeth, his eyes full of annoyance.
That's when it happened.
Cheng Yu rushed over with a happy face under the rain of arrows.
"Sikong, I just received a secret report from Xuzhou. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Guan Yu broke Yuan's army and captured Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan alive!"
Cheng Yu smiled and offered the good news.
There was an uproar.
Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised: "Yuan Tan claimed to be 40,000 soldiers and horses, but he was captured alive by Guan Yu?
"Although Guan Yu is extraordinary in general, he was able to capture Yuan Tan alive because Xiao Yuan came to Xuzhou. "
Cao Cao's expression was shocked.
Cheng Yu detailed the battle of Xuzhou and turned it all upside down.
"Sneak attack on Qingzhou at sea and cut off Yuan Tan's way back?"
"Such an unbelievable plan can be thought of?"
Cao Cao's eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Xiao Yuan's plan is really as unpredictable and unpredictable as ever." "
The strategists were amazed.
"Xiao Yuan's plan is indeed unique. "
But his plan is equivalent to helping us. "
"Yuan Tan was captured, Qingzhou Yuan's army was defeated, Liu Bei will inevitably make Guan Yu take advantage of the situation to go north and take Qingzhou directly!"
"If Qingzhou is lost, Jizhou is in danger, and Yuan Shao will not sit idly by. "
"In Jia's opinion, it is very likely that he will move to Xuzhou as the main force, so won't the pressure on us be greatly eased?"
Guo Jia smiled and analyzed the stakes.
Cao Cao suddenly realized and sneered: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, it seems that Liu Bei really fell into the plan and helped me bear the pressure of Yuan Shao!"
Everyone in Cao Ying was in high spirits for a while.
Cao Cao stroked his short hair and muttered: "Yuan Benchu, when you turn your head to attack Xuzhou, I will be able to take a breath..."
...
Ying Tian Cheng, the state capital.
Xiao Yuan was already drinking Liu Bei's reception wine and told the story of the Battle of Xuzhou.
"It turned out that half a year ago, the military advisor asked me to build that sharp-bottomed sea ship, which turned out to be in preparation for today's sneak attack on Qingzhou at sea. "
"Long Soviet Military Division, you have let me see your foresight again. "
Liu Bei was amazed, and there was only one word "service" in his eyes.
Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang also looked at each other, and their eyes were all admired.
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly, but asked, "In the past few days since I went to Xuzhou, how have you prepared for the Northern Expedition?"
Liu Bei glanced at Pang Tong and motioned for him to report to Xiao Yuan.
"The grain and grass secretly transported by our army to Xiangyang has reached more than 500,000 hu, and the grain and grass collected to Shouchun Tun also has 300,000 hu. "
"In terms of grain and grass and military funds, it should be enough for the Northern Expedition. "
"In terms of soldiers, we have trained the navy in the name of quietly mobilizing nearly 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses to the front line of Chaisangxiakou. "
"Once the lord gives the order, we will be able to gather 120,000 troops to Xiangyang within half a month. "
"On the front line of Shouchun in Hefei, we have also transferred nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, which can rush to Xuzhou at any time and be assigned to General Guan. "
"At the time of the Xuzhou line, General Guan was able to lead an army of about 50,000 to the north. "
"In this Northern Expedition, we should be able to use a total of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses!"
Pang Tong made all the preparations for the Northern Expedition clear to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, but there was not much surprise.
On the contrary, it was Liu Bei, who listened to Pang Tong's report for the first time, but he was taken aback.
He really didn't expect that he had 200,000 male soldiers in his hands before he knew it!
This strength is faintly on par with Yuan Shao.
"I didn't expect that I was so strong, it was really like a dream..."
Liu Bei sighed in his heart.
Then.
The guards entered and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Yuan Shao's envoy Xu Yu has entered Yingtian and wants to see the lord!"
