"Hmm... What do you think the policy proposed by Chang Wen (Chen Qun's calligraphy) is?"
Cao Cao's city was very deep. Although he really didn't agree with Chen Qun's suggestion, he didn't say anything. He just said noncommittally and left the problem to the silent counselors.
"Ming Gong, I think that the policy in the long article is quite satisfactory and is sufficient for dealing with ordinary people. However, if I want to use it to seduce the treacherous Gongsun Xiao'er, it may not be too effective. It is suspected of raising a tiger. Also, if you want to get rid of it, you can only use thunderbolt methods to achieve success in one fell swoop.”
Cheng Yu had followed Cao Cao for many years and knew Cao Cao's thoughts very well. Seeing that Cao Cao was not satisfied with Chen Qun's proposal, he immediately stood up and proposed a quick resolution.
"Well, what's the plan?"
What Cheng Yu said clearly hit what Cao Cao was thinking. However, Yecheng was Yuan Shao's territory, and there was a Yellow River in the middle. Although Cao Cao wanted to send troops there, he knew that this would be difficult to achieve, and he couldn't think of it for a while. The best way to use thunderbolt means is to use them accordingly.
"It is difficult to say that this matter is difficult, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. The reason why Gongsun Xiaoer was able to move around Yecheng with ease is because he cleverly took advantage of the rivalry between the Yuan family brothers. This is certainly the foundation of his career, and he will definitely succeed. This was the reason why he was buried. If someone's predictions are correct, Gongsun Xiaoer must have thought of fleeing incognito to avoid the disaster of death. Ming Gong can quickly find out dozens of secrets of Captain Jin and sneak into Hebei, hiding in Ye. The city officials cooperated closely and closely monitored Gongsun Xiaoer's movements. Once the beast sneaked out of Yecheng, he immediately launched his attack and killed him with one strike. He also put the blame on Yuan Tan. In this way, Hebei would be in chaos, and Ming Gong could calmly deploy it. To reap the benefits of fishermen.”
Cheng Yu dared to stand up at this moment, so he had already planned it. Hearing Cao Cao's question, he didn't panic, but when he saw him bowing to Cao Cao, he calmly responded. He described the plan in detail.
"Well...that's very good. Let's just keep it this way."
The Captain Mojin is a shadow force under Cao Cao, specializing in tomb robbing. There are many elites in it. They cannot be used for fighting, but they are undoubtedly very handy for using them to do some dark things. In Until there is no better way, Cao Cao can only believe that those extraordinary people with high martial arts skills can come in handy...
On the third day of November in the Western Year of Jian'an, the first heavy snowfall of this winter finally fell. The north wind was howling and the weather was extremely cold. However, the whole city of Ye was filled with joy. It was probably because today the former general Gongsun Mingjiang and Yuan Shao's daughter Yuan Mei The engagement was not only a new look inside and outside Yuan's mansion, but also the lanterns and colorful decorations, red hangings everywhere in the city, and the parade on horseback were complicated and grand. The people all over the city were excited to watch, and the civil and military officials of high rank gathered together with the general. In the Mansion, a huge banquet lasted from noon to Xu Shi and finally came to an end. During the banquet, Yuan Shao, who was in a good mood, decided to hold a winter hunting ceremony by the Zhangshui River three days later. All civil and military officials under his command did so. Of joy.
As the name suggests, winter hunting means hunting in winter. It seems not a big deal and can be done by ordinary people. However, if the word "ritual" is added, the meaning is completely different. Since ancient times, only emperors or princes can do it. He was just qualified to perform the ritual of winter hunting. As a general like Yuan Shao, he was naturally not qualified, and he was obviously overstepping his bounds. However, no one from the civil and military forces of Jizhou raised any objections, and they all happily complied. That was it. On the sixth day of November, 50,000 elite troops, together with civil and military officials, totaling as many as 70,000, marched toward the Zhangshui River twenty miles away from Yecheng. Not only that, but also from various counties. A large number of elite soldiers carefully selected by the counties and counties gathered from all directions in the west. It is obvious that Yuan Shao's winter hunting ritual was a lie, but that he mobilized elites to prepare to cross the river to attack Cao Fang.
The focus of the Winter Hunting Ceremony is on etiquette rather than hunting, so there is naturally a lot of preparation work. Even if the army has arrived at the Zhangshui River, within three days, the Winter Hunting Ceremony will not be able to start. A large number of people are busy building The high platform prepared sacrifices and other chores, while Yuan Shao took the opportunity to discuss the specific matters of the battle across the river with his civil servants. As for Gongsun Mingmo, although he was the quasi-consort, he was not invited to the meeting, and even commanded five hundred men. The soldiers' stations were all arranged in relatively remote places. It was obvious that Yuan Shao was still uneasy about Gongsun Ming, his son-in-law, and did not want Gongsun Ming to participate in the important tasks of the Jizhou Army. Gongsun Ming did not think so. As soon as he arrived at the Zhangshui River, he threw himself into his tent. He said that he was still drunk and fell asleep without even getting up for lunch.
The winter night came early, and it was just the end of the day. The sun had already set, and the sky was getting dark. The campfire was burning in the west, and the smoke was lingering. There was a lot of noise and fuss in the huge camp. , only the big tent where Gongsun Ming is located is deserted, and the inside of the tent is even darker. It seems that Gongsun Ming is still sleeping. Of course, this is just an appearance. In fact, Gongsun Ming has already died. When he woke up, he had changed his clothes, but it was not the fancy clothes he was wearing when he came, but an ordinary businessman's dress. He was sitting cross-legged on the futon with his eyes slightly closed.
"My lord, it's getting dark and the time has come. Look..."
In the dead silence, a soft sound of footsteps was heard. Wang He, who was dressed in brocade robes, and Zhao Yunji, who had also put on merchant clothes, walked in from outside the tent. Wang He saluted Gongsun Ming with a smile on his face. He asked for instructions nervously.
"Okay, everything goes as planned. Yushan should be careful. If Yuan Thief blames him, just blame him."
Gongsun Mingji had been planning for this golden cicada to escape from its shell for a long time. Even the so-called winter hunting ceremony was actually his plan. It was just proposed through Yuan Shang's mouth. Now everything is ready. , he would not hesitate, and after telling Wang He a few words, he walked out of the tent with Zhao Yun, and quietly sneaked out of the camp under the cover of the night, meeting Xi Ming's relatives who were also dressed as merchants. The guards met together in a forest, rode their horses into the night, and galloped all the way to the southeast.
Gongsun Ming left very carefully, and the tens of thousands of people in the camp did not notice anything. However, no matter how careful he was, he could not hide from the prying eyes of interested people. No, when Gongsun Ming and his group rushed out of the woods on horseback, there was something A dark figure that had been hiding behind a big rock in the woods quietly stood up. After looking at the camp and the direction Gongsun Ming left for a moment, he saw the figure of the dark figure flashing, and there was something unexpectedly there. If it disappears like a ghost...
