Zuo Ci, the character Yuanfang, Lujiang people, Mr. Wujiao, Ming Wujing, Tong Liujia, Jiantong Xingwei, the legend has the ability to serve ghosts and gods.

A few days later, Guan Yu's news of Mr. Wujiao had reached Chen Mo, the other party was a famous alchemist, and his news was not difficult to check.

After reading it, Chen Mo put away the bamboo slips and stored them in the study, and then didn't bother anymore.

"The husband also has a heart for the Tao?" Cai Yan looked at Chen Mo with some concern, afraid that Chen Mo would put everything down and ask for immortals.

"Curious." Chen Mo shook his head, he has come to this day, every move will affect the pattern of the world, how can he say that he will let go: "Madame don't have to worry, because her husband is used to waiting for her company, how can she stand the days of widowhood." ”

Besides, Zuo Ci also said that even if he followed him, he couldn't become an immortal, he just lived a long life, and it was a problem for him to give up the battle for the world because of an illusory promise.

A few days later, Li Ru returned to the court and told Chen Mo what Lu Bu meant.

For Lu Bu's willingness to be loyal to the imperial court, Chen Mo is naturally happy, the old man in Luoyang in the past, now he is dead, he is gone, or he is an enemy, Lu Bu is willing to put down his status as a prince and come back, Chen Mo is naturally happy, as for Li Ru's suggestion to send him to Nanyang to help govern, Chen Mo naturally agreed.

Although it was not explicitly stated, even if it was just sent to the academy to give lectures, the students who came out of it also had the imprint of Chen Mo's side, which could not be erased, and if Lu Bu's force could be completely submissive, for Chen Mo, it would be equivalent to having enough men and horses to make the princes fearful.

Zuo Ci's appearance did not affect Chen Mo, after the spring of the second year of Han Zhu, with the intensive spring ploughing, Chen Mo was also busy here, Xiuxian asked what is too empty, Chen Mo wants the prosperity of the country.

However, just when the entire Guanzhong and even the whole world began to be busy with spring ploughing, at the beginning of April, the news from Jizhou made Chen Mo's eyes move from the people's livelihood again and shift to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao fell ill.

After the battle of Muye the year before last, Jizhou was provoked by Chen Mo and Cao Cao, thieves broke out, in the past two years, Liu Xie was assassinated, Chen Mo and Cao Cao in order to divert the attention of the world, each resorted to various means, Chen Mo instigated the Montenegrin army to continue to contact the old department, and at the same time attacked Yuan Shao's wolf ambitions, Liu He called the emperor was premeditated, as early as when Liu Yu was alive, Yuan Shao intended to support Liu Yu as the emperor, and he had already had the heart of disobedience.

And Cao Cao was not idle, he contacted Gongsun Du of Liaodong to continue to commit crimes, and Cao Cao even allowed Youzhou Muzhi to be located in Gongsun Du in the name of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time ordered people to unite with Chen Mo to spread rumors around Jizhou.

There are thieves in the territory, diplomatically, Chen Mo and Cao Cao obviously have the potential to join forces, coupled with the defeat of Chen Mo before, Yuan Shaoqiang endured anger and depression, while supporting Liu He as the emperor, while personally leading the troops to quell the rebellion, such internal and external difficulties, thieves all over Jizhou, and ordered Zhang He to garrison Youzhou, deter Gongsun Du, and wipe out the chaos in Jizhou.

But after Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, he was depressed and sick, and when the news reached Chen Mo, it was already mid-April.

"I don't know if this Yuan Shao is sick, is it true or not?" Xun You took a sip of water, looked at Li Ru and Xu Shu beside him, and asked with a smile.

"It's mostly true, it's not easy to get this news in detail." Li Ru affirmed: "Besides, Yuan Shao has just quelled the civil strife, and it is the time to recuperate, if he is sick at this moment, it will only attract the covetousness of our army and Cao Jun, which is quite unwise." ”

"Lord!" Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "If this matter is true, then Cao Cao will inevitably plot against Qingzhou, and our army should have made plans early!" ”

Chen Mo nodded and looked at everyone: "What do you think our army should do?" ”

Although it is an opportunity, if it is not handled well, it is likely that it will not get any benefits, but it will cause a lot of shame, Chen Mo wants Jizhou, but Cao Cao will definitely not let Chen Mo get Jizhou, if Chen Mo directly sends troops from Hanoi at this moment, it is likely to be attacked by Cao Cao and Yuan from both sides, which has to be guarded against.

"The minister thinks that if you get the land of Youzhou, our army can attack from Yanmen, Daijun and other places, and capture Zhongshan, Changshan and Hejian in northern Hebei, which is Cao Cao's capture of Qingzhou to the north, and it is also a situation of sharing Jizhou, if you send troops from Hanoi, I am afraid that you will encounter Yuan's and Cao Cao's attack." Xu Shu bowed and said.

Li Ru and Xun You also nodded, this is the safest way, although Jizhou is good, but the Yuan family cannot be completely wiped out because Yuan Shao is gone, there is still a strong background, if you take Jizhou directly, it is likely to fall directly into a bitter battle, and it will also be fiercely resisted by the Yuan family, it is better to take the relatively weak Youzhou.

Of course, Youzhou is not so easy to take, Yuan Shao has a good relationship with Karasuma, if Chen Mo's army enters Youzhou, Karasuma is likely to send troops to help, and in addition, Liaodong Gongsun Du may not let Chen Mo seize Youzhou.

In comparison, Cao Cao's resistance to Qingzhou will be much less.

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Pass on my military order, and order Tai Shi Ci to lead his troops out of Yanmen and enter Zhandai County to see how Yuan Shao reacts." ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Mo got the news here, and it was naturally impossible for Cao Cao's side not to know about it.

"Ben Chu ......" Suiyang, Cao Fu, after learning that Yuan Shao was ill, Cao Cao's eyes were a little complicated, and he sighed and looked at Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others who came to her: "What do you think?" ”

"Lord, no matter whether this matter is true or not, we should seize the opportunity!" Cheng Yu bowed and said: "Earlier, the lord and the Marquis of Changling had an alliance to discuss Yuan Shao, and now that Yuan Shao is ill, maybe the time limit is approaching, we should join the Marquis of Changling to march together." ”

Chen Mo and Cao Cao confronted each other in Zhongmu before, after the death of the Son of Heaven, Chen Mo and Cao Cao had an alliance to engage Yuan Shao first, but the original intention was to weaken Yuan Shao, and they didn't want to destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, but now Yuan Shao is seriously ill, whether it is true or not, they just take this opportunity to join forces to seize his land.

Xun Yu nodded and said: "The lord can take Qingzhou to test it first, then Yuan Tan's side, there is no Liu Bei and the three of them, and it is difficult to resist the lord, the lord can try Qingzhou first, see how Yuan Shao reacts and then make a decision, and also need to contact the Luoyang court to raise troops together." ”

Cao Cao nodded, in this way, Yuan Shao has to be angry if he doesn't die, but there can't be too many private feelings in the world, and now that the two sides are hostile, the old feelings will be put aside.

"The name Lu Qian sent troops from Jinan, ordered Zang Ba to send troops to Langya, raided and plundered the murdered area, and ordered Cao Hong to lead 30,000 elites to enter Taishan County, and attack Qingzhou at any time, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Li Dian are ready to send troops at any time." Cao Cao pondered for a moment and then looked at the crowd.

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao and Chen Mo's orders were passed to the border, Tai Shi Ci received Chen Mo's order, immediately moved troops from the clouds to Yanmen, and the state assassin Shi Guo Yi personally rushed to the clouds for Tai Shi Ci to sit in the rear, Tai Shi Ci arrived in Yanmen, within three days he led 10,000 and the state elite into Dai County, Dai County guard Jiao touched the perennial garrison of Dai County, is to guard against the attack of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, Wen Tai Shi Ci killed, immediately led troops to meet the enemy, but mistakenly hit Tai Shi Ci ambush, three battles and three defeats, did not dare to fight again, retreated to Dai County, to Yuan Xi for help, Yuan Xi hurriedly sent Zhang Nan to lead troops to support, and at the same time complained to the Yecheng court, hoping that Yuan Shao would send troops and horses again.

At the same time, in the direction of Qingzhou, Lu Qian led the attack into Dongping, Zang Ba led his troops out of Langya, and Cao Hong's department from Mount Tai, the three-way army attacked Qingzhou, Yuan Tan was a little out of ground, and the general Cen Bi was killed in the chaos when he faced Zang Ba.

And Chen Mo frequently transferred troops in the Hanoi area, and the general Wuyi led Zhang Xiu to Huaixian to sit in the town, and for a while, the war clouds were dense, and almost every three or five days, there was news sent to Yecheng.

"Cao Cao's husband, play dung child! Too much deception!! "Yuan Shao has just quelled the Jizhou rebellion, and after returning to Yecheng, he can't afford to be sick, according to what the doctor said, he is angry and angry, and he should recuperate, but Youzhou, Qingzhou and even Hanoi have taken action, so how can he recuperate with peace of mind, although Yuan Shang was ordered by Yuan Shao to oversee the government, but obviously there was no way to suppress the scene, and the news was finally sent to Yuan Shao's sickbed.

Yuan Shao's illness started from his heart, and at this moment, he learned that Chen Mo and Cao Cao joined forces to attack, which added fuel to the fire, and the bamboo slip in his hand was almost crushed by him, and the ground turned white suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out.

The faces of Yuan Shang, Xu You, Feng Ji and others around him changed greatly, and they hurriedly called the doctor over, and after some chaos, Yuan Shao's illness was stabilized, but the situation was not optimistic.

"Childe, everyone, I'm afraid the lord will be ...... this time" The doctor looked at Yuan Shang and the people around him, and sighed.

"The lord is not an early death, but there is a way to save him?" Xu Yu frowned on the side.

"The disease of the lord is born from the heart, if it can be recuperated and supplemented by decoction, it can still be treated, but now it is angry and anxious again, it has hurt the heart, don't say that it is below, it is the gods who are coming, and they are powerless to return to the sky." The healer sighed and shook his head.

"You quack, you dare to talk about the life and death of the lord, come here, drag me down, and put me in prison!" Xu You's face changed suddenly, and he scolded sharply.

"There is no half-lying sentence in what I say!" The healer's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said in a loud voice.

"Shut his mouth!" Xu Yu shouted.

Seeing this, Feng Ji, Fu Zhu and others were silent, Xu Yu's move was obviously blocking the news, but how could this news be blocked.

"Xianfu, Ziyuan, Yuan Hao, Gonghe!"

Soon, Yuan Shao's call came from the room, Tian Feng was not here, Xu You glanced at everyone, and surrounded Yuan Shang into the room.

"Father!" Yuan Shang barely squeezed out a smile and looked at the pale Yuan Shao lying on the sickbed, and bowed.

"What does the healer say?" Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said weakly.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's fine." Yuan Shang didn't know what to say, so Xu You hurriedly rushed to the road.

"Cough~" Yuan Shao shook his head: "Ziyuan, you and I have been friends for decades, you can't fool me." ”

"Lord......" Xu You's eyes were sour, and he sighed: "Don't worry, your lord, you must also help the lord to determine the world fairly and establish an immortal foundation for everything." ”

"I'm afraid I won't see that day." Yuan Shao shook his head, took Yuan Shang's hand and said: "Xianfu will be assisted by Er and others, Cao Cao and Chen Mo are all traitors, Xianfu is young, and he can't fight the two, all the princes are old friends of Shao, and I hope that the princes will help each other, and they will definitely keep my Yuan's foundation!" ”

"Don't worry, the lord swears to help the lord sweep the world!" Xu Yu said hoarsely.

"Stabilize the situation first, south of the plain, if you can't do anything, you can give up for the time being, take the Yellow River as the boundary, divide with Cao Cao, and then form an alliance with Meng De, and defeat Chen Mo first!" Yuan Shao closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, he knew that as soon as he left, there would inevitably be a mess in Jizhou, with Yuan Shang, he could not carry Cao Cao and Chen Mo while stabilizing the situation, so he needed allies to attack one side, compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao felt that Chen Mo was a greater threat.

"Whoa!"

Yuan Shao smiled, reached out and wanted to touch his son's cheek, but in the end he couldn't reach it, and the outstretched hand finally fell weakly, and a cry suddenly sounded in the room......
