Li Yuguo can legitimately be the Lord of Jingzhou. In a sense, he is equivalent to a powerful local emperor. This edict came from Xuchang, so it should not be fake, and Li Yuguo also felt very pleased. He There is no doubt, after all, no one knows this secret. The current Holy Emperor is the flesh and blood of Li Huguo.
Li Huguo had not seen this emperor for more than a year. Although he promised Tang Ji, the blood and blood relationship could not be wiped out, so Li Huguo occasionally missed the baby.
Everyone was very happy to learn that Li Huguo had officially become the Lord of Jingzhou. The people in Jingzhou around him all praised him for his gratitude, as if they were trying to elevate Li Huguo to a high position.
The battle between Cao Mengde and Yuan Shao in the north also officially kicked off. Yuan Shao bore the brunt and sent Zhang He and Gao Lan to attack Cao Ying, intending to end the battle as soon as possible. They acted cunningly and only dealt with the army in the middle, while Cao Mengde's subordinate Sima Yi was familiar with it. The tactics of war naturally saw through Yuan Shao's plan, so when Zhang He and Gao Lan attacked, they did not expect that Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan on the left, Cao Ren and Li Dian on the right, and Cao Hong in the middle all came out together. Yuan's army could not resist the three attacks and was defeated. escape.
Sima Yi asked Cao Mengde to meet Xu You again. Xu You and Cao Mengde were young, so they agreed to surrender because Xu You had a rival in Yuan Shao's group of advisers, Tian Feng, and the two had been at odds with each other for many years.
The two men led the army before they had time to escape back to the camp. Wuchao was captured. After Cao Mengde captured Wuchao, he cut off the noses of all the guards. These soldiers were deliberately released by Cao Mengde to humiliate Yuan Shao. They were talking and babbling. Wow, it made Yuan Shao's nose crooked with anger.
The two generals were embarrassed to go back, but they met Cao Mengde again who extended an olive branch and planned to recruit them.
However, because both Zhang He and Gao Lan were loyal to Yuan Shao and would never surrender, they did not expect that this was Sima Yi's plan to directly spread the news of the private meeting between the two generals and Cao Mengde, and the two began to be jealous of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was anxious to win a gold medal and wanted to recall them. However, Gao Lan and Zhang He lost the battle and complained about Yuan Shao's improper command. Now seeing Yuan Shao's villain coming to summon them for trial, they became cruel and killed the people sent by Yuan Shao. , surrendered to Cao Mengde with his trusted soldiers and horses.
Cao Mengde immediately named Zhang He the Marquis of Duting, a partial general, and Gao Lan, the Marquis of Dongwai, a partial general, so the false surrender turned into a real surrender.
Yuan Shao lost one of his counselors, lost two generals, and burned all the food in Wuchao. He was on tenterhooks during the day and restless at night. Sure enough, at the third watch of the day, Cao Jun attacked, led by his own soldiers Zhang He and Gao Lan.
They were originally a family, and some were still friends. Zhang He and Gao Lan's soldiers greeted them, and some of them actually ran over. Yuan's army fought indiscriminately. Some died, some were injured, and some surrendered. At daybreak, they all withdrew their troops. Half of Yuan Shao's troops were gone.
Cao Mengde also used the strategy of dividing his troops to move Yuan Shao's main force away, while Cao Mengde's main force moved directly towards Yuan Shao's camp.
Thus, a massive battle came to an end. Yuan Shao's vitality was severely damaged, he lost several cities, and was unable to survive. He fell ill and was about to die.
Sima Yi was always calm and composed, because he knew many details. As a person from the future, he naturally knew the Battle of Guandu very well. He avoided several misunderstandings and directly used Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Xu You as the breakthrough point. Only three Yue, he returned with a great victory.
Sima Yi was very proud because he became a hero, and Cao Mengde forced Yuan Shao's forces to the bitter cold land of the far north. Yuan Shao's important cities were taken over by Cao Mengde. At this time, Cao Mengde had occupied most of the north, officially becoming the north the overlord.
Li Huguo in the south also acted vigorously. His subordinates Han Shizhong and Sun Ce led the Jiang Dragon King all the way south. The cities passing by saw the terrifying appearance and huge body of the Jiang Dragon King, and some were so frightened that they fled before the battle.
For a time, the navy reported successive victories. Taking advantage of the chaos in the north, Han Shizhong led his troops to unify Jiangdong. At this time, Li Hugo's territory was further expanded. Now he owns Jingzhou, Huainan, and Jiangdong, and has officially become the ruler of the south. overlord.
But Li Yuguo encountered trouble here, and it was a big trouble, and that was the portraits of the three women in front of him.
Xun Yu came closer and said: "Among these three, Miss Sun San, my lord should have met. As for the other two, they are Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. This time the Sun family spent a lot of money and wanted to use these three girls in exchange for the Sun family's Safety."
"Safe? I don't think so." Li Yuguo closed the portrait. Although the three women were all as beautiful as flowers, they still had some resistance to Li Yuguo.
It's like a person who often eats Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and suddenly he is given a bowl of exquisite Malatang. Although it looks delicious, after eating something more delicious, he will naturally not be so impatient. And Li Yuguo is like this now mentality: "To unify the south, does the Sun family want to get closer now..."
Li Yuguo revealed the other party's thoughts in just one sentence, which made Xun Yu admire him very much. Xun Yu said: "As expected of the lord, but we can use his tactics to his advantage."
"oh?"
"Miss Sun San now also admires the master's abilities very much, and women have a weakness after all, just like any woman." Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, like an old fox.
Li Yuguo was happy: "You tell me."
"Women are born to be weak. What is weakness? It is very easy for them to develop on their own in a safe place. Just like the wild grass and wild flowers in the woods, relying on the big trees will protect them from being trampled by animals. Therefore, once a woman determines If you marry someone, just like the ancient saying, the water thrown by a married daughter will basically be directed towards the husband's family. Although the Sun family wants to use Sun Shangxiang to control us, if we go the other way, we can also use Sun Shangxiang to control us. Restrict them." Xun Yu said it clearly.
But for Li Huguo, this plan was very dirty, using a woman's feelings to control a force.
However, if this is used to prevent the Sun family's rebellion, it is still very worthwhile. At least this way, it can prevent border rebellion.
Xun Yu added: "By the way, there is one more thing. Ma Teng and Cao Mengde had a conflict recently, so Ma Chao has to go back."
"Then go back. What are you worried about?" Li Hugo said.
Xun Yu came over and said, "Aren't you worried, my lord? The wild geese are flying southeast..."
"Turn around and leave without looking back." Li Huguo continued.
Xun Yu's expression was serious: "Yes, Ma Chao is a fierce general. When he was in Jiangxia, he and Zhao Yun fought to the death to resist the enemy and blocked Lu Bu's army outside the city wall. Moreover, the elite cavalry he trained were each one as good as ten. This But a talent.”
"I understand." Li Yuguo looked deeply into the distance.
