Even before the war begins, the relationship between Liu Ke, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao is already tense.
Needless to say, Cao Cao's cavalry troops were defeated at the door of his home.
It¡¯s still very embarrassing.
When Cao Cao received the battle report from Xia Houyuan, he was really surprised.
The Marquis of Dongyang is simply too deceptive!
But it¡¯s not worth it to retaliate against thousands of troops.
This will definitely lead to a war, which is inconsistent with Cao Cao's expectations.
Yuan Shao felt even more aggrieved. His daughter-in-law was robbed, so forget it.
Yes, forget it.
But even the Zhen family was poached!
What the hell is this.
The Zhen family was of great help to Yuan Shao. Now that the Zhen family has turned to Dongyang Hou, what do other noble families think of Yuan Shao?
Yuan Shao experienced a crisis of trust in an instant, and it took a lot of commitment to stabilize.
If it ends like this, that¡¯s it.
There is an even more embarrassing scene next.
That means dividing up the Zhen family¡¯s real estate.
The wealth of the Zhen family is countless, and the real estate they left behind is worth at least tens of millions of gold!
If you can swallow it, it will be a happy thing.
However, Dongyang Hou was so arrogant that he refused to admit it!
Once a businessman forcefully buys these real estate properties, he will have trouble with Yangzhou and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.
¡°Which businessman in the world today does not have contact with the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce?
Therefore, businessmen dare not touch it.
As for some nobles, they are interested in buying them, but in view of the upcoming war.
What if Yuan Shao is defeated?
¡°Isn¡¯t it like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?
It also offended the Zhen family, which was at the height of its power in Yangzhou!
The gentry consider not only wealth, but also the future. The continuation of the family is more important than anything else.
Money is something external to the body.
??So these real estate properties are almost not sold.
For Yuan Shao, it is of no use.
Moreover, Yuan Shao could see Liu Ke's influence.
He is not in Jizhou, but there is a legend about him in Jizhou!
This situation will continue for a long time unless Dongyang Hou is defeated once.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao felt a little sad.
I couldn¡¯t help but think of my good friend Cao Cao.
We must not let Dongyang Hou continue to be arrogant!
Therefore, Yuan Shao took the lead and planned to meet Cao Cao at the edge of the Yellow River.
It hit it off immediately.
Both sides were disguised and conspired.
"The Marquis of Dongyang is lawless. If we don't contain him, our life will be even more difficult." Yuan Shao said.
Cao Cao thought deeply and said: "What is the original idea?"
"You and I have an alliance, but it's not solid yet. Why not take this opportunity to announce it to the princes," Yuan Shao said.
??Old fox!
Among the three parties, Yuan Shao is the weakest, so he feels very insecure.
Furthermore, there are many conflicts in Jizhou now, and Yuan Shao needs an ally to stabilize people's hearts.
So, he chose Cao Cao.
In the past, Cao Cao was worried about irritating Liu Ke, so he suppressed the matter. Now he is still worried about it.
The Marquis of Dongyang blatantly entered Cao Cao's territory and started killing.
"No problem." Cao Cao agreed, feeling a little happy.
Before joining forces against Dong, Yuan Shao had always suppressed Cao Cao.
He Jin trusted Yuan Shao even more, and later Yuan Shao became the leader of the anti-Dong alliance.
Yuan Shao comes from a family with four generations and three sons
Now Cao Cao is living more happily than him!
This proves that Cao Cao's ability is stronger than Yuan Shao's.
"Where is Sun Bofu? His power cannot be underestimated." Yuan Shao said.
As for Liu Zhang, Yuan Shao doesn't have any hope.
"Don't worry, Sun Bofu has a strong character and wants to conquer the world. He knows what to do." Cao Cao said.
How to do it?
Yuan Shao quickly figured out that he was just waiting for the opportunity when the war started.
Sun Ce occupies Jingzhou. He can seize Jiaozhou by going south, and disrupt Yangzhou by going east.
"We are not connected to Sun Bofu's territory, so he will definitely not be the leader for fear of being targeted by Dongyang Hou. However, once Yangzhou is empty, he will come out like a tiger and give Dongyang Hou a fatal blow." Cao Cao said .
"What Meng De said makes sense." Yuan Shao said.
"Jizhou, how are you preparing?" Cao Cao asked.
This is the time to tell the truth.
"Our army has 400,000 men capable of fighting!" Yuan Shao said with high spirits.
Sure enough, Yuan Shao worked very hard.
"Youzhou is an important place, wouldn't it be appropriate to hand it over to Yuan Xi?" Cao Cao mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.
Yuan Shao's face darkened. Although he was very disappointed with his son, Cao Cao was not allowed to meddle in other people's affairs.
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back." Yuan Shao said.
"I hope so." Cao Cao said.
"What about you, what are your preparations?" Yuan Shao asked.
"An army of five hundred thousand, ready to go." Cao Cao said.
Phew!
Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mengde, you occupy the land of three states and don't work hard to expand your troops. Do you want me to be the leader?"
Cao Cao looked troubled and said: "Having an army of five hundred thousand is already a huge expense. We also need to support the imperial court. Where can we get so much money?"
"Wouldn't it be enough to dig a few more times?" Yuan Shao said.
You think tomb robbing is a simple matter?
Cao Cao did not want to discuss this topic and said: "No matter what, the military strength is stronger than yours."
It is true, so Yuan Shao has nothing to say.
"This battle will determine the pattern of the Central Plains. Mengde would be better off having some snacks." Yuan Shao warned.
"I know better than you. Just wait. This time, I will teach Dongyang Hou an unforgettable lesson!" Cao Cao said with confidence.
Yuan Shao didn¡¯t know where Cao Cao¡¯s confidence came from, but winning the battle would be beneficial to both parties.
