Yuzhou.

In recent days, the situation in the thirteen states has been quite stable, and the princes from all walks of life have arrived in Xuchang, Yuzhou, one after another, preparing for a meeting.

After a few months of changes, there are very few princes now, and there are only a few princes left in the eighteenth way.

At present, there are Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi County Shou Wang Kuang, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, and a Liu Bei is added.

As for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian, these people have been separated from the scope of the princes, and they are at the same level as Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Yu, and Ding Yuan.

As for the previous princes in Yanzhou, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, Dongjun guarded Qiao Mao, Shanyang guarded Yuan Yi, and Jibei Xiang Bao Xin.

Except for Yuan Yi, the other three have been imprisoned in Yuzhou, which has long been forgotten, and now it is no longer a climate.

As for the rear general Yuan Shu, he has been completely suppressed by Yuan Shao's side.

It can be said that the forces of the thirteen states have increased by a few at the top, but the forces at the middle level have not increased much, and they are still the same as before.

As for Zhang Chao, who was too guarded by Guangling, he had been wandering around Xuzhou before, and then something happened, and he was coordinated by Liu to leave, and now he is stationed on Ding Yuan's side.

If Zhang Chao hadn't been transferred away at that time, maybe things wouldn't have been like that in Luoyang, maybe there would have been a glimmer of opportunity, and Liu Xie's side would not have gone that far.

In fact, the reason why Liu Xie transferred Zhang Chao away was actually to relax the vigilance of Tao Qian's side, and then replace Tao Qian's side.

Which Cheng thought, Tao Qian defected, Ding Yuan, Kong Rong, and Ma Teng entered Xuzhou, and He Jin's raid happened too quickly.

The fast Liu Xie didn't arrange it much, so he threw Luoyang away.

Now, Wang Yue is hiding with Liu Xie like a lost dog, and he doesn't know where they are hiding for the time being.

It's mainly the forces of all parties, and they don't have time to take care of them for the time being, there are many things, and the things that Liu Xie and He Jin have come up with are too big.

I had to spend a waste of time trying to figure it out. Liu Xie ran away, which saved trouble, but other people are not like this.

Although the riots in various places were suppressed, they were only temporary, and they could not solve the fundamental problems at all.

And He Jin didn't run there, he has been stationed near Luoyang, and now he has controlled the entire Sili area, and He Jin's hole cards have not yet come out.

So He Jin is not simple. As a last resort, Lin Chuan didn't want to mess with him, there was no need for that.

Everything has to be settled in the north before the next step can be planned.

The states, so to speak, all understand. At present, the infighting is unrealistic, and it will only give up the forces on its side, and the forces on the northern side are not weak.

And there are a lot of people gathered, how many people there are, it hasn't been found out yet, anyway, several forces in the north have gathered together.

The strength should not be underestimated.

At the same time, Yuzhou's side.

A meeting is being held, and now the bigwigs from all the states are coming, and there is no way if they don't come, after all, this is a time of life and death in the Central Plains, and it is closely related to everyone.

If they don't discuss it, if they don't unite, they will be broken one by one. At that time, the entire Central Plains region will be lost to the north.

When the time comes, there really isn't. Therefore, all states now understand that only by uniting can there be hope of resistance and a chance to stabilize everything.

At present, the thirteen states can be said to be extremely short of food. It is not suitable for long-distance combat at all, and the northern side has been recuperating for so many years.

Although food is also scarce, there is still the ability to support a big war, so the northern barbarians feel that this is a good opportunity now.

In addition, there are people from the Central Plains, and there is also a person with a big force who cooperates with them, and they feel that they can completely take the Central Plains this time.

When everything is ready, the east wind is owed.

At this time, in a large room in Xuchang, Yuzhou, the bigwigs of various states were sitting on the side.

Lin Chuan looked at the big guy sitting in front of him, and it could be said that he was a little nervous, after all, these people were all people who could influence the overall situation next.

You still have to be careful, you can't say it too plainly, take a look at it on the first day, the forces of all parties, and then talk about the reaction.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian are completely on Lin Chuan's side, which can be said to be a good thing. As long as half of the people here are united, then the northern side will not dare to act rashly.

At this time, Lin Chuan coughed a few times, and then said.

"Everyone, some people I am familiar with, some people I am also meeting for the first time, I am still happy to make friends with you, I hope you can give me this opportunity."

At this time, Liu Yu on the side said.

"I've heard for a long time that Yuzhou Mulinchuan is very young, but I didn't expect it to be so young, it's better to meet than to be famous, hahaha."

"Sure enough, the hero is a young man, when I saw you, I remembered when we were young, right, Cao Cao."

Cao Cao said with a smile at this time.

"Hahaha, Lord Liu Yu is joking, when I was young, where was Lin Zhoumu so accomplished, it can't be compared, it can't be compared."

At this time, Yuan Shao on the side said.

"Haha, when we were young, we didn't know where we were wandering, time flies so fast, what do you say?"

At this time, Liu Zhang said.

"Yes, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, it's really impermanent."

"Who would have expected today's situation, now that the Eastern Han Dynasty has collapsed, and Liu Xie has fled. It's really irritating that only a bunch of troubles are left. ”

At this time, Liu Biao on the side said.

"yes, I left a bunch of trouble, it's really a little annoying, it's really a waste who has more than enough success and more than failure, I really don't know how he got over for so many years, it really is."

After thinking for a moment, he said.

"I didn't expect that He Jin, who is also a person who can endure it, has endured it for so many years before breaking out, He Jin is really terrifying, what do you think."

At this time, Sun Jian on the side said.

"Lord Liu Biao is right, He Jin is really not simple, I hope everything goes well on our side, right now the north is eyeing it, we have to be careful."

At this time, Liu Yu said.

"From the north, come on, I'll see if it's his iron cavalry or our strength, they are not our opponents at all."

At this time, Cao Cao said.

Lord Liu Yu said with a smile, right now, the north side, not the one back then, they have been recuperating for so many years, and their strength has already surpassed what they once were. We still have to be careful. ”

At this time, Liu Yu said.

"Oh. Well, I'm a loner and haven't heard of that. ”

At this time, Lin Chuan said.

"Okay, everyone should be clear about the current situation, the strength of the northern side should not be underestimated, I hope everyone can understand, plus our side is short of food, it is not easy to start a war with the northern side."

After thinking for a while, he said.

"At present, only by joining forces can we hope to avoid this catastrophe, and everyone should understand our current predicament."

At this time, Yuan Shao on the side said.

"Lin Zhoumu is right, the strength of the north side is not simple, and now our side can only avoid this crisis by uniting."

After thinking for a moment, he said.

"At present, there is a big problem with food in the thirteen states, which is not suitable for long-term battles at all, as well as cross-state operations, don't think it doesn't matter, the northern barbarians are not as simple as you think."

After thinking for a moment, he said.

"I know, someone told you that there is nothing to be afraid of in the north, it is all false, and it is all someone who has sent you false and wrong information, I hope you can understand it."

"I won't hide it from you, there should be people from the northern barbarians among us, and there is still deep cooperation with that side, if we can't reach a consensus here, we will be broken one by one."

As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, the people present were in an uproar, they didn't expect that things were a little different from what they thought.

Because there are two versions at the moment, it is not known which one is true and which one is false.

One is that the northern barbarians are not to be feared, and the other is that the strength of the northern side should not be underestimated.

It can be said that this matter was also only known to Lin Chuan here, and it seems that someone has already acted in advance.

The plan can never catch up with the changes, and now I can only confess everything, and I must make it clear.

At this time, Liu Zhang said with a frown.

"This matter is interesting, there are two versions now, and the information I have learned is that the forces in the north are not to be feared, and I came here today to actually want to know what the hell you are doing."

After thinking for a while, he said.

"Also, I have a little doubt about the strength of the northern side, Brother Yuan Shao swore so confidently, I still believe it, it seems that there is indeed a traitor on our side, but I don't know who it is."

At this time, Ding Yuan on the side said.

"To be able to spread the news like this in such a short period of time, I'm afraid this person is not simple, and I believe they will definitely have a follow-up plan."

After thinking for a while, he said.

"I didn't expect that this incident in the north would involve so many things, it seems that we thought things were too simple before, maybe you are right, the north is a little not simple."

At this time, Cao Cao said.

"It's true that it's not simple in the north, if it were really that simple, everyone wouldn't be sitting here, I believe everyone has a certain judgment in their hearts, and now this person has actually exposed something."

After thinking for a while, he said.

"As long as we have some time, we will definitely find out this traitor, I hope you can cooperate."

At this time, Liu Yu on the side said.

"Let's assume that what you say is true. However, we can't stay here for too long, there are certain riots in various states at the moment, and I'm afraid that if we come out for too long, something will happen. ”

At this time, Cao Cao said.

"Lord Liu Yu is right, it seems that we have to do it as soon as possible, don't worry, we will find this person."

After thinking for a while, he said.

"I hope you will cooperate with our investigation, so that we can confidently and boldly hand over our backs to each other. Since you all agree with our investigation, we hope that you will cooperate with our actions. ”

At this time, everyone said.

"No problem."

Although everyone said they agreed, they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts, and among these people, there must be some people who didn't care and didn't care about the people in the north at all.

It's just that they didn't show it, there must be such people, but it was just because of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Zhang, who didn't show it.

Cao Cao also understands here, although everyone agrees, but it is still a bit difficult to plan the facts.

Look at the people who are thinking.

At this time, Lin Chuan said.

"Okay, that's all for today, everyone have a good rest, if you have any needs, we will definitely meet your needs."

As soon as Lin Chuan finished speaking, everyone left one after another, and they wanted to determine whether the news from Lin Chuan's side was true.

If it's true, then it's not that simple.

And Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, and Tao Qian all stayed, and they still had things to discuss.

At this time, Cao Cao said with a frown.

"It's a bit bad, I'm afraid that someone will take the initiative to surrender at this time."

At this time, Yuan Shao said.

"Indeed, there is indeed a possibility of surrendering at this time, alas, I just don't know how many people there will be."

At this time, Sun Jian said on the side.

"If we can catch the traitors quickly and accurately, we may be able to stabilize them for the time being, you say."

At this time, Tao Qian said.

"It's a little difficult, you didn't see it in today's meeting, those people are old fritters, some things, they may not be clear, they are probably pretending to be confused, what do you say."

At this time, Yuan Shao on the side said.

"Yes, there is a possibility, but some people don't know it, and there are quite a few of them. And from their expressions, I didn't see anything, this traitor is hiding very deeply. ”

After thinking for a while, he said.

"If we don't find out soon, we're in danger, you say."

At this time, Cao Cao said.

"It's really a bit dangerous, the longer it drags on, I'm afraid that he can win over more people, and when the time comes, we'll be in trouble here, this person is not simple." We're underestimating him. ”

At this time, Sun Jian said.

"Who do you think it will be, if it is divided according to the big forces, there are only a few people, in fact, it is easy to rule out, what do you think?"

Cao Cao said at this time.

"According to your statement, it is indeed easy to rule out, but I am afraid that it is not, otherwise it will be very troublesome. We must be absolutely sure, otherwise we should not act rashly. ”

At this time, Tao Qian said.

"Alas, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, what can I say. What to do next. ”

At this time, Lin Chuan, who had been sitting next to him and pondering, said at this time.

"Actually, I already know who it is, but this person, I'm a little surprised, I need to investigate further."

Hearing what Lin Chuan said, several people looked at Lin Chuan in surprise and felt incredible.

It's true.
