Countless coalition soldiers are busy, they are preparing materials, making equipment, and rubbing swords, ready to launch the most powerful siege battle in the imperial capital Luoyang.

In a large tent in the center of the company camp, a banquet was being held in a good atmosphere of lively speech, and both the guests and the host were smiling and talking and laughing, which made the atmosphere in the tent extremely high.

Yuan Shao sat in one of the seats, holding the wine cup with a spring breeze on his face, and raised his hand to Nanying at the other seat, and said happily: "Nanying Yang...... No! To be called the emperor's uncle! Uncle Huang made a promise to beg the thief for righteousness, and he really knew it, and it really shocked us to tell this earth-shattering secret in front of Chrysostom today.......

He shouted to the heroes and generals sitting in the audience: "Now the morale of our army is like a rainbow, and we can defeat the thieves in one battle just by looking at it!" Ladies and gentlemen, don't you all respect the emperor's uncle? ”

During the banquet, everyone agreed to the promise and raised the bottle together: "Respect Uncle Huang!" ”

Nan Ying looked at the faces below that seemed to be hugging and pushing, sneering in his heart, but he also had a sincere smile on his face, and happily raised the bottle and said: "I can't drink enough, so I can only do it...... Thank you! The general also wishes all the heroes to shine in the battle against rebellion, and in the future, they will be crowned with food and glory! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, Jiyan!" In the echo of the laughter and laughter of the heroes and generals, the atmosphere of the banquet seemed to be pushed to a climax.

At the tent door, the long-lost Wen Chou hurriedly flashed into the account, and before he walked to the main seat, he first respectfully gave a military salute to Nanying, and then whispered in Yuan Shao's ear.

Yuan Shao's expression suddenly shook violently, he turned his face in some surprise, and stared at Wen Chou, as if questioning again. When he saw Wen Chou nodding abruptly with an affirmative look, he turned his gaze to Nanying, and his eyes were full of complicated colors.

"What's wrong?" Nanying said casually: "Is there any latest news?" ”

"Wen Chou has just come here from Jizhou to supervise the transportation of new soldiers and grain and grass, and he has brought a piece of news, which is related to Uncle Huang......" Yuan Shao took a deep breath before saying: "Wen Chou, you might as well come in front of Uncle Huang and all the generals!" ”

"Yes!" Wen Chou saluted the group again: "When the last general left Jizhou five days ago, he heard a news from a secret channel. When the Karasuma tribes heard that the heroes from all walks of life were fighting fiercely with Dong Wei, they had already begun to secretly mobilize, preparing to gather 100,000 cavalry to go south, in order to take advantage of the situation to seize the Youji and Ji lands. The second is to avenge General Nan's revenge for breaking Karasuma...... There is evidence that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, the Xiongnu tribes, and the Baibo army on the other side of the Yellow River, who had been dormant for a long time, began to move. It is believed that it is because a few Karasuma-sama are instigating and agitating it, and as long as the Karasuma army successfully invades the hinterland of the Great Han, they will all flock to it. ”

"What?" During the banquet, several people exclaimed in shock. The territory of several princes is in Jizhou, and if Karasuma steals his nest, it will be very bad.

Yuan Shao's face was also ugly, he had just gained the land of several counties in Jizhou. The situation has not yet been completely stabilized, and the rest of Han Fu's troops have hidden ambitions, if they are taken advantage of by the Karasuma people again, I am afraid that the base area that they have built with great difficulty will be irreparably damaged.

Only Yuan Shu was indifferent. There is even some schadenfreude, his territory is in Nanyang, and he is completely unafraid of being threatened by the Karasuma people.

He stared at Yuan Shao's solemn expression, and said slowly: "Alas! It's a real disaster...... The original new is the history of Jizhou thorns. At this time of crisis, should we consider returning to the army to defend the territory? ”

Yuan Shao's face turned even pale. How could he not understand Yuan Shu's filthy thoughts? Now that the situation of the Dong army is unfavorable, it seems that Luoyang will be lost and retreated. It is the best opportunity for the coalition to take advantage of the victory and attack and seize the results, and Yuan Shao, as the leader of the coalition army, although he cannot overshadow Nanying, who has the identity of the emperor's uncle, can undoubtedly get the glory and prestige second only to Nanying....... if he returns to the army to rescue Jizhou at this time, Yuan Shu can take the opportunity to replace him as the leader of the coalition army, and he will not give up his previous achievements?

Just as Yuan Shao's heart was in turmoil, Nan Ying said quietly: "As far as the general knows, the Karasuma people are joining forces with the Huns to fight against a powerful threat from Xianbei, how could they suddenly gather an army of 100,000 people?" Is there any inaccuracy in this information? Or is it a deliberate plan spread by Dong Zhuo's side to divert the tiger from the mountain? ”

Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Yuan Shu. Suddenly, he almost suspected that this fake news was not written by Dong Zhuo, but by Yuan Shu......

"Good to teach Ying Yang Zhonglang will know!" Wen Chou immediately replied truthfully: "It is said that the new Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has used his high prestige in various ethnic groups to persuade the Xianbei people to temporarily withdraw their troops. ”

"Is Liu Yu crazy?" Someone blurted out: "If you have the ability to persuade the Xianbei people to withdraw from the army, why did you let the Karasuma people go south?" ”

Another humanitarian: "I heard that Liu Yu's prestige among the Karasuma people is higher, and when he was serving as the assassin of Youzhou, the Karasuma people even took the initiative to increase the tribute gifts. If Liu Yu is incapable of stopping the advance of the Karasuma people, it is really incredible! ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of noise in the tent.

Someone said: "At the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, he drafted an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and named Liu Yu as the Great Sima and the Marquis of Xiangben, and his heart to win over can be said to be unobstructed. Could it be that Liu Yu wanted to secretly help Dong Zhuo, so he was indifferent to the Karasuma people going south? ”

"Impossible!" Someone retorted: "Liu Yu is loyal and benevolent, and even made a public statement against Dong a few days ago, how could he do such a foolish act to lure the wolf into the house?" ”

"Phew!" Someone sneered: "Who said that Liu Yu is loyal and benevolent? This man pretended to be frugal in front of the world, and even the robes he wore were patched, but in private, some people saw that his wives and concubines were all dressed in expensive ayara...... It can be seen that this person is nothing but a deceitful person! ”

The quarrel in the tent became more violent.

"Silence!" Yuan Shao shouted: "This news has not been confirmed, how can it be so arbitrarily commented?" ”

He said lightly to Yuan Shu: "Highway, you have always had a good relationship with Gongsun Zhan, and he is being controlled by Liu Yu at the moment, is there any news coming in the near future?" ”

"This?" Yuan Shu showed a stunned look: "Not really....... but Gongsun Zhan's classmate and subordinate Liu Bei is sitting at the moment, why don't you ask him what is going on?" ”

Yuan Shao saw that he shirked so cleanly, and then thought of the duel with Dong Zhuo in front of the battle that day, Yuan Shu had fully supported his idea of promoting Liu Yu as the Son of Heaven, and couldn't help but have even more doubts in his heart.

Without waiting for Yuan Shao to open his mouth to inquire, Liu Bei had already stood up in the seat and arched his hand towards Yuan Shao and said, "Alliance Master, Bei has not communicated with General Gongsun for nearly two months, so I really can't confirm the authenticity of the news...... However, I thought that instead of hesitating here, it was better to ask a general to divide the troops to the north, if there were indeed Karasuma people who raised troops to invade the territory, they could refuse, and if the news was not true, they could also further show their force, so that the northern aliens would not dare to move! ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu sneered in their hearts at the same time, who doesn't know such a simple truth? However, the key point is....... who wants to give up a low-hanging victory and go north to fight the Karasuma people?

"So, I don't know if Liu County Ling has a candidate in mind?" Yuan Yi sneered: "If it is really Liu Yu who is making a ghost from it, how will this general who went north deal with this matter like this?" ”

"Xiaguan does have a candidate in his heart!" Liu Bei said calmly: "That's the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General!" There are three reasons for this, one is that Liu Yu is the leader of the Han clan, and it is not the identity of the imperial uncle and the token of the Son of Heaven who is not the general of Yingyang Zhonglang, who can be suppressed? Second, Yingyang Zhonglang will also enjoy a high reputation among the soldiers in Youzhou, and inviting him to go will definitely get twice the result with half the effort; Third, if the Karasuma people do come to attack, then with the strength and experience of the Bohai Navy to fight and win many battles with them, they are the best candidates! ”

Everyone was stunned, and some almost burst out laughing. This Liu Bei, is he an idiot? With Nanying's current status, how could he listen to the opinions of a small county magistrate from the point of view? This means that he will give up the heaven-sent opportunity to set things right and regain control of the imperial capital!

And Nanying was also stunned, but he almost wanted to hug Liu Bei and kiss him. This Liu Da ear, it's hard for him to take the initiative to put forward the idea that he has always been unable to say!

Under the attention of everyone, Nanying made a deep groan, and just when everyone was about to refuse politely, they heard him say lightly: "It is about the dignity of the royal family, and it is also about the danger of the country, not to mention that the Karasuma people are still under the banner of revenge against the general...... I'm afraid it's my duty! ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu showed disbelief at the same time, while Liu Bei, Cao Cao and the others were moved together, showing admiration.

"It's urgent, and I can't discuss the follow-up with you now...... Nan Ying raised the wine bottle, squinted his eyes at the white cloudy wine in the bottle, as if talking to himself: "However, it is too late to wait for the logistics of the Bohai side...... It's thousands of miles away from Youzhou, but it's a headache! ”

"Of course we will raise it!" Several voices couldn't wait to shout at the same time, and among them, there was Yuan Shu's voice. But Yuan Shao stared at Nanying in a daze, and for a while, he was completely confused...... This Southern Eagle, is he really a loyal and righteous man for the country and the people, regardless of gains and losses, or is there some other real purpose hidden underwater? It's a pity that no matter how much he calculates in his head, he can't find the slightest inappropriateness.

Finally, the strong joy washed away all the suspicions, he stood up and bowed deeply to Nanying: "Uncle Huang is worried about the country and the people, and he is indeed a real hero...... But whatever Uncle Huang commands, I will do my best to do it! ”

Nan Ying looked at Yuan Shao with a smile, wondering in his heart whether this was the truest thing Yuan Shao had ever said to himself, but he sighed in his mouth: "Then, Ben will not be polite." If you want to go north with peace of mind, Ben will indeed have a few small things that need to be discussed with Yuan Meng. You know ......" (to be continued......)
