The curtain was lifted, and in the midst of long laughter, Yuan Shao, who was dressed in military uniform, stepped into the big tent surrounded by many civil ministers and military generals.

He casually threw his heavy helmet to a guard, sat behind the general's desk with a spring breeze on his face, and laughed: "Gongsun Chan has done the general a great favor this time!" He sent troops to attack Han Fu, originally in order to open up the channel to conquer Liu Yu, and he didn't want Han Fu to be defeated by the cowardly ghost, so he would take the initiative to give up the position of Jizhou pastor to the general...... It's unexpected! ”

In the laughter of his subordinates, one of them stood up and arched his hand: "Han Fu is just a cowardly and mediocre person, how can he deserve to occupy Jizhou?" What's more, with his current strength, he is just in name only! Only Yuan Gong is well deserved! ”

That person has a long body and an elegant appearance, which is the former Jizhou Don't Drive Frustration.

Yuan Shao smiled and said: "It is rare to be public and understand the righteousness, and with the help of all Jizhou righteous people, why worry about the big thing?" ”

In the tent, Li Li, Zhu Han and several other Han Fu's old subordinates glanced at each other, got up and shouted together: "I am willing to die for Yuan Gong!" ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said: "If you have to work, let us take Jizhou as the base and make a big deal vigorously!" ”

As everyone echoed, someone suddenly sneered: "Based on Jizhou? Yuan Gong seems to have ignored two people, right? ”

Yuan Shaozheng leaned close to the mouth of the golden bottle, and when he heard the words, he froze back, and put back the wine bottle and said with a wry smile: "Of the two people Yuan Hao said, one of them must be Nanying, but I don't know who the other person is?" ”

During the banquet, one person slowly got up and said, "Of course, it's Gongsun Chan that Yuan Gongshicai said!" ”

That person's face was clumsy, his expression was solemn, and his thin eyes seemed to be deep and boundless, and he was Tian Feng, a famous scholar in Jizhou and famous for his wisdom.

"What? Gongsun Chan! Someone among the crowd couldn't help but say: "Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu have always been incompatible, and now they are pointing at Youzhou with our support, how dare he be our enemy?" ”

"You can't say that!" Frustrated, he said: "Gongsun Zhan is a scheming person, and he has the ambition to change the sky and change the day, and wait until he cleans up Liu Yu." It's another of our rivals besides Southern Eagle! ”

"What Gong He and Yuan Hao said is very true!" Yuan Shao groaned: "But now that Nanying has newly won the three counties of Jizhou, the soldiers are strong and strong, and there is the Son of Heaven token in our bodies, we can't provoke it for the time being, and Gongsun Zan has made a promise that as long as we send troops to attack Liu Yu, we can share Youzhou...... In the face of these two people, we are facing the problem of difficult to start, how should we deal with it? ”

"It's easy to hear!" Fu Zhu said with a smile: "As Yuan Gong said, we are temporarily powerless to deal with Nanying. However, its new acquisition of three counties is bound to go through a relatively long period of recuperation, and its east side faces the sea, and the other three sides are suppressed by all forces, so there is no need to worry for the time being! And Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu have a gap, we can secretly help them, let them fight to the death, no matter who wins in the end, their military strength will definitely be greatly reduced. Aren't you leaving it to us to swallow up? Before that, of course......."

When he said this, seeing that everyone in the tent was listening attentively, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Why don't Yuan Gong attack the west and merge the state." Sweeping the North? As long as we firmly occupy most of Bingzhou and a part of Jizhou, we can besiege Gongsun Zhan and Nanying to the death, and then Yuan Gong can calmly use his troops to sweep north of the Yellow River. Gradually annex the four prefectures of Merge, You, Hebei and Qingdao, and recruit heroic talents from all over the world. A few years later, the battle will be won on such terms. Who else in the world can resist? ”

"That's true!" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped the case a few times: "Gong and Zhen are really the last resort......."

"Please forgive me for being rude!" A slightly immature voice sounded faintly from the tent: "Mr. Gong and Mr. obviously miscalculated a lot of things!" ”

"What? You! Everyone was stunned and turned their eyes into the tent.

A young man with clear eyebrows walked in slowly, he glanced at the frustrated with a mocking gaze, and raised the two white silks in his hand: "According to the latest report, first, the Bohai Navy has not rested, Nanying personally led 20,000 elite soldiers, and has secretly gone to Qingzhou a month ago, everywhere he went, all the counties and counties all looked at the wind, and at least thirty percent of the current Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of Nanying......"

"What?" In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Yuan Shao's heart was shocked, and he accidentally knocked over the gold bottle in front of him, and his face was even more colorless.

"Nanying dared to come out of the nest and send troops to Qingzhou!" Someone was shocked: "Isn't he afraid that we will take the opportunity to copy his Bohai?" ”

"Where do you get this confidence?" The young man said unceremoniously: "There are still more than 20,000 elite soldiers in the Bohai Sea, and they are being guarded by Gao Shun, Li Jin and other Bohai generals. ”

During the banquet, everyone was speechless, and even Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other fierce generals were speechless. The strength of the Bohai Navy and the sophistication of its equipment are recognized by the whole world, and if it cannot meet it with more than three times the superior force, no one will dare to speak of victory lightly. A few months ago, the Liangzhou Army, known as the world's No. 1, had already made a bloody demonstration in a one-on-one actual battle. Although Yuan Shao had 50,000 elite soldiers in front of him, how could he dare to take the initiative to attack the Bohai Navy, which had the advantage of calm defense?

"Guo Jia......" Yuan Shao let out a long breath of turbid breath in his chest, and said with a forced smile: "Has this news been verified?" Why didn't the scouts of our army in the Bohai Sea report in time? ”

"It can't be fake!" The young man Guo Jia sat down at the head of Yuan Shao and sneered: "Because, this news is reported by the secret stake I planted in Qingzhou!" ”

"This ...... How unreasonable! Yuan Shao was stunned, and suddenly roared at the banquet: "You have been operating in Bohai for a long time, and that's how you do things!" ”

The man's face turned blue and his lips turned white, and he couldn't say a word. He is Gao Yan.

"No wonder he is!" Guo Jia said lazily: "Although his Gao family is the head snake of the Bohai Sea, he is now being stared at by the Bohai Navy...... Who let his identity be revealed? ”

"Humph! That's it! Yuan Shao reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, glared at Gao Ran fiercely, and said to Guo Jia again: "No matter what, the Bohai side has not yet made any moves to endanger our army, so leave him alone...... Please Mr. Guo will move on to the second one! ”

"This is the second!" Guo Jia took a sip of wine slowly, and then said, "Gongsun Chan is not as well-behaved as you think!" If my expectations are right, he'll be attacking us soon! ”

Yuan Shao finally lost his temper, he got up suddenly, and overturned the table in front of him, causing the wine and meat to be sprinkled all over the ground: "This is impossible!" ”

"How could it be?" Guo Jia slowly raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Yuan Gong doesn't know yet, right?" Gongsun Zhan's cousin, Gongsun Yue, was killed in battle a few days ago. It was none other than Cao Cao who killed him! ”

"That's not right!" Yuan Shao shouted wildly: "Gongsun Yue is obviously in Youzhou, and Cao Cao and Zhou Ang are fighting against Yuan Shu in Yuzhou......."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he thought of something unbelievably terrifying.

In the big tent where the needle fell and could be heard, he stood for a long time, and finally sat down, and said fiercely: "Yuan Shu! ”

"So, send troops! And the soldiers will be divided into two ways! Guo Jia said lightly: "Otherwise, not only Jizhou will be difficult to preserve, but even Mergezhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou will also fall into the hands of the enemy!" ”

There was a lot of chaos in the tent. All the established plans were overturned, and the two-front combat strategy of facing Gongsun Zan and aiding Yuzhou was fought over by the generals and strategists.

And Guo Jia put his hands on his back, Shi Shiran walked out of the big tent, he looked up at the cloudy sky, and suddenly showed a strange smile on his mouth: "Xi Zhicai, you old boy is even more vicious than me...... However, Gongsun Yue, you finally have a bit of value in dying! ”

Plains Country, Gaotang County.

"Report!" A soldier hurried in. Yu shouted under the lobby: "Report to the county commander, General Youzhou Gongsun has sent an envoy to the meeting, and he has arrived outside the main gate!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei, who was looking down at the map with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, suddenly raised his head: "Didn't Brother Bo Jue just send a letter a few days ago?" How could a messenger come so soon? ”

He hesitated for a moment, and immediately said, "Please!" ”

"Humph!" Guan Yu sneered: "It must be that a few days ago, he asked his brother to send troops to help him attack Liu Yu, but he was refused. That's when people come to ask again! ”

"Then I will still refuse again!" Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly: "Not to mention that Liu Yu and I are both relatives of the Han family, attacking him will damage the righteousness, that is, just relying on a few small things that Liu Yu appeased Zhuyi with Huairou's strategy, it is hard to refer to his treason...... Bo Jue is so selfish and discarded. What a mess! ”

"And behold what the messenger says!" Zhang Fei looked at a figure outside the hall that was approaching, and said indifferently: "Don't forget, now we are in the plains. And Ying Yang Zhonglang will be pacifying Qingzhou, strictly speaking, we are temporarily attached to Ying Yang Zhonglang's rule, with his Gongsun Zhan, he also wants to point fingers at us? ”

"The last general, Zhao Yun!" The man outside the hall stood at the foot of the steps, bowed down and said, "On the order of General Gongsun, I hereby present a secret letter to Liu County's order!" ”

"You? Zhao Yun! Seeing the face clearly, even with the conceit of Liu Guanzhang and the others, he couldn't help but be slightly moved.

But seeing that the general is eight feet long, handsome, standing as tall as a pine, there seems to be a hint of melancholy in his bright and deep eyes, and with a well-fitting armor, it is really indescribably heroic.

"Ahh It turned out to be General Zhao! Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Please come into the hall for a while!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yun raised his legs up the stairs, seemingly unremarkable, but under a closer look, his steps were as straight as flowing water, which made people feel impeccable.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei exchanged a look of surprise, instinctively feeling that this person in front of him was also a master of the same level as them.

"Lord Prefectural Order, please take a look!" Zhao Yun presented a fire-lacquered iron cylinder with both hands.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't open it, he stared at Zhao Yun with a strange light and said: "Zhao Yun, please forgive me for being clumsy, Bei has a deep friendship with Brother Bo Jue, and he is also familiar with the generals under his account, why haven't you heard the name of the general?" ”

"Ling Xian Lingjian smiled!" A wry smile appeared on Zhao Yun's lips: "It's not a secret, the last general was originally an unknown general under the Jizhou Mu Han Fu subordinate, and then Yuan Shao embezzled his land and his subordinates, and the last general was dissatisfied, so he abandoned it and voted for General Gongsun!" ”

"General Zhao ......" Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Today, many people regard Yuan Shao as the master, and they all compete to defect, but why does the general abandon him like a shoe?" ”

"This must be General Zhang!" Zhao Yun's wry smile was even heavier, but his gaze was extremely firm: "The junior brother doesn't know people, but he can also see from Han Fu that Yuan Benchu lacks benevolence and righteousness, how can he continue to work for it?" ”

He sighed: "And today there is a big chaos, I don't know who is the master, but thousands of people are in danger of hanging upside down, Yun is only willing to follow a benevolent and righteous lord to relieve the people from hanging!" ”

"Well said!" Liu Bei blurted out: "The general is really a strange man!" ”

"The county magistrate has a good reputation!" A trace of gratitude flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he took a step back and saluted: "The cloud mission has been achieved, so I will go back to my life!" ”

"General, slow!" Liu Bei was in a hurry, and actually stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Yunzhi's hand and said: "I fell in love with the general at first sight, why not stay in Gaotang for a few more days?" ”

"Thank you for the prefectural order!" Zhao Yun added a little emotion to his face, but said resolutely: "The military order is like a mountain, and the last general must rush back immediately!" ”

He turned around a few steps, suddenly turned back and said, "One day, I will come again to listen to the teachings of the county commander!" ”

"Ah......" Liu Bei stood on the steps, watching Zhao Yun go away, and couldn't help but be at a loss.

"Brother, hurry up and open the seal!" Guan Yu waited impatiently, reached out and took the letterhead in Liu Bei's hand, opened it and took out a scroll of books.

"Huh?" Guan Yucai's eyes were already fixed when he looked at the lines, and his complexion changed greatly when he read it carefully.

"What's going on?" Liu and Zhang rarely saw Guan Yu lose color, and they were moved together.

"What a backsliding Gongsun Zhan!" Guan Yu slowly closed the book, and said: "The day before yesterday, he also sent a letter to invite his brother to cooperate with Yuan Shao to attack Liu Yu, but today he wrote to ask us to attack Yuan Shao....... so close to the twilight, it is really chilling!" ”

"Did he elaborate on why?" Liu Bei also twisted his eyebrows together when he heard this.

"No, I just said that I wanted to avenge my brother's death!" Guan Yu shook his head, he stared at Liu Bei and said, "Brother, how are you going to deal with it?" Which side do you want to help? ”

"Which side?" Liu Bei was stunned for a long time, and suddenly a smile spread from his lips: "I won't help anyone!" ”

In the stunned gaze of Guan Zhang and the others, he slowly walked to the back of the case, looked down at the huge map, and said lightly: "The day before yesterday, the Bohai Navy swept Qingzhou, urging all counties and counties to take a stand, and those who dare to be hostile to it are all defeated and broken. And whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan, they are all tigers and wolves, and they can't wait to treat us as minions and let them drive ......."

He suddenly slapped the case and shouted: "I, Liu Bei, come from a humble background, but after all, I have the blood of Gaozu in my body!" How can you be subservient? ”

"Brother!" Guan Zhang's eyes lit up together: "What do you mean?" ”

"Not bad! If there is chaos today and the Han family is in decline, it is the time for heroes like us to start a business! Liu Bei put his hands in his hands, and his eyes flashed with pride and ambition that surpassed the world: "As Zhao Yun said, many people with lofty ideals are waiting for a benevolent and righteous lord who will relieve the people from hanging upside down...... I, Liu Bei, am not talented, and I am willing to try it with all my strength with enthusiasm and pride! ”

"Since Nanying Yang has shown mercy to our men...... he pointed to the map and said with a smile, "Let's collect the plains first, and then plan later!" (To be continued......)
