Three Kingdoms

Time is like a car with failed brakes. Although there are time management, time planning, time cost and other things that seem to look like brakes, they are actually just decorations. The car of time still looks like a car. Like a headless fly, heading towards the abyss of death without hesitation.

As a result, there are always people who are either sad, helpless, or a little scared to say that classic sentence, borrow a book first... well, take a step first.

This time, it was Yuan Tan who took the first step.

When Fei Qian received the news, he couldn't help but feel the aura of Brother Ni on his face, and a dozen question marks were jumping around, what? Yuan Tan is dead? what happened? In the end what happened?

The news came from Heluo.

Although Yang Xiu's Yang family was beaten by Fei Qian and obediently lay down and raised his buttocks, his figure is still somewhat good, and for the Yuan family who stood side by side before, the Yang family is even more dignified than the average person. Pay more attention to it. After all, it’s like Aken and Amai, Abai and Ake, Ayi and Amon. They seem to be competitors, but in fact many places actually work together to secretly lower some standards and increase There are some thresholds and so on, so I am actually quite concerned about it. After all, the current Yuan family may be the future Yang family...

Therefore, such news is probably true.

Why did Yuan Tan die?

Fei Qian couldn't understand. This kind of thing is really harmful to Lao Cao.

In this way, Jizhou will inevitably be in turmoil... Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, as if with some amusement, he glanced at Fei Qian, and then said, Cao Sikong, Jizhou has not stabilized its footing, this happened, and it is inevitable that people in Jizhou will be unstable...

Fei Qian rubbed the beard on his chin. What did the incomprehensible look Pang Tong threw at him mean?

Xun You, who was sitting aside, had a solemn face, which seemed to be no different from his usual expression before. He said slowly, Cao Sikong is in Luoyang. There are many troops stationed in Yangcheng, so he is well prepared... The general also knows about this...

Yes, I know. Fei Qian silently repeated in his mind, hadn't this issue been mentioned before? Why did Xun You mention it again?

Pang Tong waved his hand and said: The infantry can only defend the city and is not flexible enough. If all the way from Hedong to Hanoi, all the way from Wuguan to Yingchuan, all the way from Heluo to Xu County, the main army advances step by step, and the partial troops come and go, even if there are heavy troops in Luoyang Yangcheng Tun, what will happen? You will care about one thing and miss the other, and you will be confused and helpless.

Xun You glanced at Fei Qian and said: Shi Yuan's strategy is very good, but... Cao Sikong must have something to deal with. If he only fights it without relying on it, it will be okay...

Pang Tong's strategy can take advantage of Fei Qian's cavalry, use the cavalry on the two wings as a partial army, and directly cut into the opponent's rear like Taishi Ci did back then. If the opponent wants to defend the rear line, the front line will naturally be difficult. If he does not defend, he will attack the rear line. The cavalry on the front line will become a huge threat until it affects the overall battle situation.

For the area around Yingchuan in Yuzhou, it is basically a relatively flat area and there are some large swamps. It has certain advantages whether it is cavalry combat or hiding. Of course, as long as it is not besieged and comes and goes outside the city Intrusion is simply a very difficult and unsolvable existence.

But as discussed before, if the battle line is lengthened, Fei Qian's original advantage will gradually be eliminated, just like a mustache attacking a big beard. Although war horses do not consume as much fuel as tanks, they consume more fuel. The drafting materials are not much different...

Of course, if it is just for attack and not for occupation, then Pang Tong's strategy is completely fine. It can even beat Cao Cao to the point where he can no longer take care of himself. However, it is still difficult to kill Cao Cao with a stick and completely occupy the territory. .

Fei Qian couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and said: Well, that's true...huh? When did you say you were going to send troops? Weren't you still talking about Yuan Tan's problem just now? Why did he suddenly jump to the route of dispatching troops and even start formulating an offensive strategy?

Pang Tongyi was stunned and immediately frowned. Could it be that... Yuan Xiansi's death... was not caused by the Lord?

Fei Qian categorically rejected it and said: Of course not.

Pang Tong was speechless, then laughed out loud and said: "Please forgive me, my lord, I should have thought of it earlier."

Xun You's face seemed to relax a little, and he said slowly: If this is the case... there is no need to rush to send troops, we need to consider the long term...

Fei Qian looked around and suddenly felt enlightened. He laughed and said: Since a certain person decided the affairs of Guanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan in the name of loyalty, he would naturally not use this to destroy the Great Wall!

Fei Qian was assassinated and then went back to retaliate, which seems to be a normal behavior. However, although it seems not wrong, it is similar to the behavior of a person being bitten by a dog and then opening his mouth to bite the dog back. It is an act that lowers moral standards.

This kind of behavior is not wrong, but it will lower your reputation. There will even be some people who immediately stand on a high point with their arms in their arms, point at Fei Qian, and scold him. You have been pretending to be a fake for so many years, but it’s finally revealed. You are not like this...

No wonder Pang Tong and Xun You thought Fei Qian was going to take action. After all, before, there were a lot of trainees who didn't know where they came from... Well, the noble disciples said that Fei Qian was just a scum, and that they themselves were wise geniuses. , and the strategy proposed by these wise geniuses is to unify China as soon as possible at any cost. It doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as he doesn't pay for it himself.

During this period of time, the wars around Feiqian's forces basically came to an end, and then the generals returned to Chang'an one after another. The time point seemed so appropriate. Coupled with the so-called strategy of pacifying the world as soon as possible, Pang Tong and Xun You thought that Fei Qian was influenced by these people, so he did such a thing. Although he didn't completely agree with it, he couldn't object to it.

However, since they are counselors, they naturally need to perfect their lord's behavior as much as possible, so the two of them also pointed out that if they attack Cao Cao, they will definitely win a big victory in the early stage, but it will become harder to predict as it goes on. Feiqian has some warnings.

the reason is simple.

The reason for disapproval is that although Fei Qian has calmed down the four sides now, the time is too short. He hastily gathered soldiers from all over the country to carry out the next larger project. Although it can be unexpected and the soldiers can be used quickly, it is too hasty and may not be a good thing. …

On the other hand, the reason for not objecting is that wars are risky after all. Even a well-prepared battle may still fail on a small matter. So if Fei Qian is willing to take such risks, then Pang Tong and Xun You could only do his best to improve.

If the assassination of Yuan Tan was really Fei Qian's decision, then we need to strike while the iron is hot immediately. Before the heat of Yuan Tan's matter has dissipated, we should kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop. As the saying goes, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. Now that it has been fired There is no reason to stop halfway, just like Fei Qian really opens his mouth to bite the dog, the counselor must also do his duty and tell Fei Qian to bite that place to get more meat...

The current situation is that Fei Qian has denied being related to Yuan Tan's incident. If he takes advantage of this opportunity to send troops, he will basically fall into other people's plans and be used by others. This makes Pang Tong and Xun You Doubts arose in my heart, and I felt a little unhappy. They had always been the only ones who took advantage of others, so how could they let others take advantage of them?

Xun You breathed a sigh of relief and felt that fortunately Fei Qian was still not a bitch. He frowned slightly and started to deduce and plan again.

My lord is wise... Pang Tong raised his hands and said, thinking as he said, Cao Sikong was definitely not so stupid to take this policy of annihilating Jizhou... Then someone else must be at fault... Could it be...

Xun You clapped his hands lightly, his eyes brightened, and he said: I know who did it!

……(ΦwΦ)(￣??￣)ノ……

Yuan Tan's death naturally had nothing to do with Cao Cao. This is basically equivalent to cutting off an arm, and Cao Cao would not do it even if he had water in his head.

Although Yuan Tan was almost placed under house arrest by Cao Cao, it does not mean that Cao Cao does not need to continue to borrow the banner of the Yuan family and use Yuan Tan's name to speed up the conquest of Jizhou. Even if Cao Cao really wants to kill Yuan Tan, he can only After Jizhou is completely stabilized, he will find a justifiable reason, like killing Kong Rong and Yang Xiu, or Xu You type, but he will never let anyone assassinate Yuan Tan...

Isn't this like taking off your clothes after farting??, you already have it in your hands, you can do it whenever you want, why bother to use this method that makes a fuss and makes Jizhou uneasy? It's already very nervous now At this point, come to end Yuan Tan’s life?

Speaking of house arrest, in fact, it doesn't count strictly speaking. Yuan Tan can still move around on his own to some extent, go out for hunting and so on. After all, these veterans of the Yuan family in Jizhou have to take a look. Yuan Tan's treatment is still good. Pretty good...

In fact, on the surface, Cao Cao seemed to be letting down his guard. In fact, just like how he dealt with Dong Cheng, he let Yuan Tan jump out on his own, and then Cao Cao could naturally be grieved and forced to carry out legitimate defense.

In addition, Yuan Tan is also like a piece of bait. See if he can catch some Jizhou nobles who still cling to the Yuan family and deal with the hidden dangers together...

As a result, Yuan Tan was in such an environment that was tight internally and loose externally. Although Yuan Tan's actions were not restricted, his every move was under close surveillance. But in this situation, Yuan Tan was assassinated. .

Cao Ao squinted his small eyes and scanned from left to right, and then from right to left again. His face was gloomy, as if he was like the clouds of an approaching thunderstorm, as if lightning and thunder were about to happen next moment.

Cao Cao felt as if his face had been slapped hard by someone. In addition to the pain, he felt even more humiliated.

There were three assassins in total, using powerful crossbows to assassinate Yuan Tan while he was out of the city to relax and hunt. The unlucky boy Yuan Tan was actually not shot to death, but fell to death. The assassin shot Yuan Tan's horse, which caused it to run wildly in pain. Yuan Tan, the unlucky boy, rolled down the hillside with his horse, and then broke his neck...

Later, Yuan Tan's guards went crazy and bit the three assassins. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the three assassins committed suicide one after another. As a result, their bodies were chopped into pieces by the angry guards of Yuan Tan to vent their anger. So the clues come here. It was discontinued.

Cao Cao rushed back to Hejian City where Yuan Tan was under house arrest overnight. He immediately arrested all the generals and soldiers who were responsible for monitoring Yuan Tan, and interrogated them to see if they had any connections with foreign enemies. On the other hand, he immediately sent people to Hejian City. Luo and Xu counties, investigate the situation of some people in Fei Qian...

Yes, the murderer that Cao Cao immediately thought of was Fei Qian.

With Yuan Tan dead, Cao Cao's process of accepting Jizhou will be hindered even if it is not interrupted. Then, as Jizhou's neighbor, Fei Qian will naturally have a greater opportunity to suppress Cao Cao and compete for Jizhou.

This kind of relationship of interest is almost obvious. Coupled with the Li Tong incident some time ago, the whole world knows that Cao Cao has done such an immoral thing, so it seems normal for Fei Qian to come back for revenge. Although It's a bit inconsistent with Fei Qian's usual image, but it's not too outrageous.

However, after Cao Cao calmed down for a while, he felt that there were still some doubts about this inference...

Just like Fei Qian believed that Cao Cao did not need to do such a thing, Cao Cao also believed that Fei Qian did not need to assassinate Yuan Tan. If we were talking about assassinating Cao Cao himself, there is no doubt that Fei Qian would still be tempted. But to assassinate Yuan Tan, who was almost no different from house arrest and whose strength had shrunk to only a dozen or twenty guards, the hussar general Fei Qian would do this. Something?

Taking a step back, if Fei Qian had already arranged it, why would he let Zhao Yun retreat from Youzhou? Wouldn't it be great to take the opportunity to join forces with Yuan Xi and advance from multiple directions?

This is somewhat abnormal.

The fast horse returns from Xu County seem to prove this. Neither Li Tong nor Wang Can made any changes, and the number of his men was consistent and did not decrease.

Li Tong was still nestled in the city, never leaving the gate.

Wang Can looks like a celebrity. He drinks with this one today and attends that banquet tomorrow.

Unless Fei Qian regards these two as abandoned children?

Li Tong is possible, but Wang Can? If Fei Qian really dealt with it in this way, who among his subordinates would dare to serve as an envoy in the future?

In addition, there is another very important factor, which is that Fei Qian's strategies have always been a conspiracy. Even if he sees through it and understands it, even if he knows that it is as uncomfortable as eating shit, he will not be able to do it. How could someone who had to hold on to swallow it suddenly change his tactics and practice such a conspiracy?

This is very unreasonable.

So, if Fei Qian didn't do it, who did it?

A figure suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's mind, and he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, and then said in a deep voice: Send an order, and immediately send someone to Yecheng. Youzhou announced that the hussar assassinated Yuan Xiansi!

At the moment, Cao Cao was like sitting on a car with failed brakes. No matter whether the scenery outside the window was good or bad, true or false, it was not that important. The only important thing was to keep the car from falling down as much as possible!
