Late at night, the night is as dark as pitch.

The cold wind is like a knife.

The Yingchuan Royal Mansion was shrouded in darkness.

Only the main hall of the palace is still lit.

In the palace, Liu Zhan sat on the throne. Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xu Shu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Bu Yun, Zhao Yan, Shi Tao, Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanshao, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other strategists and generals are listed in the palace.

Liu Zhan put the secret letter from Sword Thirteen on the table, looked at the people below, he suddenly slapped the table, and said, "Dog R, Cao Cao is really cowardly!" It seems that this kid is really good - always greedy for other people's wives. This time, he dared to beat the idea of the emperor's wife! He even drove people to death! This is a great sin of rebellion! It's time to clean up this cunning and arrogant guy! ”

Xun Yu bowed down first, and exclaimed bitterly: "Please pass on the book to the world and send troops to fight against the traitors!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall bowed down and echoed: "Please send troops to the lord to crusade against the traitor!" ”

Liu Zhan nodded, glanced at everyone, got up and came to the palace gate, stared at the boundless darkness outside, and said slowly: "The dispatch of troops is certain, the key is how to send troops, who will command the troops." Cao Cao is extremely cunning and good at using soldiers, we can't use troops recklessly, we must plan to stop to be safe. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, Cao Cao is perverse, the lord only needs to hold high the banner of righteousness, raise his arms and shout, and the heroes of the world will respond." ”

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Xun Gong's words are very kind. Please also ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible. Cao Cao's vertical son is not enough to worry about teeth. ”

Xu Shu bowed his hand and said: "Enlighten the lord, today, if you talk about prestige, the lord should be second to none, and the crusade against the traitor should be initiated and presided over by the lord. After getting rid of the Cao thief, the prestige of the lord will rise to a higher level, and at that time, the lord can take advantage of the situation to pocket the world and create eternal peace. ”

Hearing this, Xun Yu glanced at Xu Shu meaningfully, and then at Liu Zhan, his eyes were slightly complicated, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The others were thrilled and shouted in unison, "Lord!" ”

Liu Zhan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Xu Shu to tell what he thought in his heart at once, and he said it so plainly, he first set his eyes on the silent Xun Yu, and then waved his hand and said lightly: "Hey-Yuan Zhi, I first heard the bad news of the emperor, and my heart ached!" Where do you still have the heart to have this sweet dream? Don't say such things again in the future, otherwise the world will think that I, Liu Zhan, are crusading against Cao Thief for my own selfishness. Wouldn't I be at a loss for words? ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, showing disappointment, only Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xu Shu, and Cheng Yu smiled, they knew that this was Liu Zhan's words.

Jia Xu on the side was silent, and others couldn't see what he was thinking.

Xun Yu sighed slightly, and said in his heart - That's it, the emperor is in trouble, Zhan'er is the brother of the first emperor, and it is justifiable to ascend the throne as the emperor, I am really confused, why are you so pedantic! Zhan'er's words just now must have been said to me, he is a smart man.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu couldn't help but look at Liu Zhan with approval, he felt that if Liu Zhan ascended to the pole, he would definitely be a generation of Ming Jun, he exhaled lightly, made a decision in his heart, and immediately bowed down and said: "Lord, take what you should take, and you can't have the kindness of a woman." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Liu Zhan.

According to the seniority, Xun Yu does not need to salute Liu Zhan like this, after all, Xun Yu is Liu Zhan's uncle, and Liu Zhan is just the king of a small feudal country.

Liu Zhan stepped forward quickly, helped Xun Yu up, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle is serious, he really tormented me." ”

Xun Yu continued: "When the people today are hungry and clothed, and are in dire straits, please make a decision as soon as possible, send troops to fight against the rebels, and relieve the people from hanging. ”

Liu Zhan was slightly happy in his heart, bowed, and said sincerely: "Uncle taught me." ”

"Just spread the word to the world and fight against the thief."

"It's that simple?"

"It's as simple as that. The lord occupies the time, place, and people, and this matter is just a piece of cake for the lord. ”

"Good! How about an uncle writing an essay? ”

"Your Majesty obeys!" Xun Yu gave up his hand to take the order.

Everyone in the hall listened to the words of the two and clapped in unison: "The lord is wise! We are willing to die in the service of the Lord! ”

Then, Liu Zhan agreed with the strategists on the generals and strategists who would lead the troops, and everyone dispersed.

————

Within a few days, the news that Liu Zhan, the king of Yingchuan, had raised troops to defeat the anti-thief Cao Cao spread all over the world.

For a time, the princes of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty responded one after another.

At this time, Cao Cao also released the news that the young emperor Liu Wei and the empress were both killed.

Cao Cao originally wanted to use this to clear himself, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Zhan's movements were too fast.

At this time, such news was released, there was no doubt that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and who would believe that Liu Wei's death had nothing to do with Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao's crime of being a traitor is confirmed.

In this situation, Cao Cao's intestines are also repentant, and his drooping head every day seems to be an eggplant beaten by frost.

Liu Zhan sent 50,000 troops, Zhao Yun was the main general, Zhang Liao and Pei Yuanshao were the deputy generals, Xi Zhicai was the military advisor, and Xu Shu and Shi Tao were the strategists of the army.

The princes from all walks of life sent a total of more than 200,000 troops and followed Liu Zhan to surround Chen Liu.

One of the princes is counted as one, and all who can come are here.

Who would miss such a great opportunity!

Among these princes, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu sent the most troops, and the two men and horses combined amounted to more than 80,000 people.

Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Ma Teng and others each led nearly 20,000 people.

The remaining princes led the most men and horses by more than 10,000 people.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei also came, and with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they also wanted to get a piece of the pie, but Liu Bei didn't have many people, only 500 people.

When the princes arrived, they sent Zhang Miao of Hanoi County.

Zhang Miao came to Cao Cao, but before he could return to Hanoi, Chen Liu was besieged.

Zhang Miao's mood is the same as Cao Cao's, he has become an ant on a hot pot, and he even has the heart to die - Zhang Miao regrets it, he regrets that he shouldn't have come to Cao Cao, and now he has become a turtle in an urn; He hated, hated Wang Kuang, if it weren't for Wang Kuang......

The siege of the city was like a black cloud, and even the air was suffocating.

The soldiers in the city were all full of gloom, and some even had thoughts of surrender.

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu stood on top of the city tower, looking at the dense military horses outside the city, their brows furrowed. Behind the two of them was Zhang Miao, who was drooping his head.

The three of them all cried and mourned, like mourning.

The sudden arrival of the army was like pressing a big stone on Cao Cao's heart, which made people breathless.

However, Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, and in the face of such a situation, he did not make a big mess, but quickly organized defense and personally dispatched city defense matters. After the city defense was properly settled, Cao Cao led Cheng Yu and Zhang Miao to the top of the city tower, observing the military horses outside the city and discussing countermeasures.
