Looking at the thirty miles east of Jizhou City, on the tall wood in front of the big tent, a big banner with the word "Liu" written on it is fluttering in the wind.

"Big brother, I finally have a chance to get out of this bird's breath!"

In the big tent, Zhang Fei, who had a steel beard on his face, slapped the table violently, and said to Liu Bei in the handsome position.

Liu Bei still had that calm expression, but it could be seen from his eyes that Liu Bei was in a good mood.

"Hehe, third brother, this Guan Yan is not in the city, why are you so happy?"

Zhang Fei was compatible, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Jizhou is Guan Wende's lair, even if you can't catch Guan Yan, you can make him worry for a while, hahaha~~"

Zhang Fei's hearty laughter made Liu Bei and Guan Yu's mood feel very comfortable.

Guan Yu nodded and said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, what the third brother said is true!" Guan Yan is now in Luoyang, and he has no time to take care of Jizhou, if he can capture Jizhou, he can get a bit of evil spirit, and he can find a place to live, why not? The eldest brother should take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack quickly, and the matter can be decided! ”

Guan Yu's strategic vision is very high, but his political vision is much worse.

Liu Bei shook his head: "The second brother Hugh wants to be reckless, and now he is attacking each other, and he is only afraid that the disciples will make wedding dresses for others!" ”

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to understand something in his heart: "......What is the eldest brother referring to?"

Liu Bei stood up and said quietly: "Let's not talk about the army of Merge State and Youzhou, just talk about Yuan Shao of Bohai." Yuan Shao invited me to fight Jizhou together, although he has shown benefits, but if he really captures Yecheng and captures Jizhou, he Yuan Benchu is strong and strong, like the sky, and will keep his promise and share food with me? ”

Guan Yu listened and nodded with understanding.

Liu Bei continued: "If we rashly attack Yecheng, I'm afraid the happiest person is Yuan Benchu behind the battle!" ”

"Big brother, what should I do?"

Liu Bei's vision is limited to this, although he can see many drawbacks, but he can't resolve them: "Hey, for today's plan, only by waiting for Youzhou and the state troops to arrive and attack Yecheng together, only in that way can we minimize the casualties of our army......"

Before Liu Bei finished speaking, a person outside hurriedly reported: "Lord, after the battle, Duke Yuan sent an order to order the lord to set up camp and attack Yecheng!" ”

Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's explanation just now, and also understood the joints. As soon as he heard that Yuan Shao had sent someone to urge the war again, Zhang was furious: "He Yuan was going to fight, why didn't he fight himself?" My brother is not his subordinate, how can he call to and fro! ”

The hooligan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Fei, and then said to the herald: "Go back to Yuan Shao, just say that my plain soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is really difficult to attack Yecheng alone, and ask Yuan Gong to send troops to help!" ”

"Whoa!" The pawn left, and Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei at this time: "Third brother! Don't be reckless, and remember that 'woe comes from the mouth'! ”

Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was angry, and hurriedly nodded and confessed, which dissipated Liu Bei's anger and officialdom upstart Read the full text.

The dark tide in the east and north of Jizhou is turbulent, and the west of Jizhou is naturally not peaceful.

Ding Yuan personally led 7,000 iron horsemen out of Huguan and entered the territory of Jizhou.

"Wen Yuan, do you think we will speed up our feet and go to Yecheng quickly? I'm only afraid that Yecheng will be lost, and I'm ashamed of Wende's kindness! Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Liao beside him anxiously, and said with a long sigh.

The army led by Ding Yuan was all an iron cavalry in the state, and it was not a problem to travel 600 miles a day. If you want to get to Yecheng, you can reach it in just two days. But at Zhang Liao's suggestion, it had been five days, and Ding Yuan's troops had just stepped into the ground of Jizhou. Ding Yuan is a big man in the north, very righteous, when Guan Yan saved his life, Ding Yuan has been thinking about how to repay. Now that Jizhou is in danger, it is the time for him to repay his kindness, which Zhang Liao suddenly came, saying that he was ordered by Guan Yan and Xi Zhicai to slowly enter Yecheng.

Ding Yuan didn't say anything in his mouth, but he never understood what was going on in his heart.

Now Ding Yuan really couldn't help it, so he asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao replied with a pale face: "The general can rest assured, when the villain came, the military advisor specially instructed: Now the siege of Jizhou is Yuan Shao's invitation to the three parties. Although there are many soldiers, they all have ghosts, and no one will do their best, for fear of suffering. As long as Ding Yuan has not arrived, the rest of the men and horses will not take the initiative to attack Yecheng, they will definitely wait for the men and horses from all sides to arrive, and then attack together to reduce casualties for their troops. In other words, if the general is less than a day, Yecheng can be safe for a day! ”

This psychology was captured by Xi Zhicai and made good use of it in Ding Yuanjun, which played a role in delaying time to a certain extent.

When Ding Yuan heard this, he replied loudly: "That's simple, I'm camping and I'm not going forward!" ”

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "This method is not possible, if the general stagnates, Yuan Shao must know." When you are suspicious, you must attack Yecheng first! The general only needs to be tepid, walk slowly, and when he arrives in Yecheng, he can still be a secret aid! ”

Ding Yuan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, just follow your words and walk slowly!" ”

For a time, although Jizhou was in turmoil on the surface, it was as stable as Mount Tai secretly. There are a few people, but only the people of Yuan Shao's headquarters in the east are still a little threatening.

The information from all over the place, especially the movement of Zhao Yun in the north, made Zang Ba feel very comfortable: "Okay, good! There is a military division, and Jizhou is safe! ”

Xi Zhicai smiled humbly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and the next battle to defend the city will depend on the general!" ”

Zang Ba patted his chest and replied loudly: "Don't worry, the military advisor is only twice as many, and a certain city will be impregnable!" ”

"Good, good! The general only needs to resist for ten days, and Yuan Benchu will inevitably retreat! After speaking, Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "Presumably, the holy decree has arrived in Xuzhou, and it depends on Tao Gongzu's next!" ”

Xi Zhicai expected it well, at this time, thousands of miles away in Xiapi City, Tao Qian was brushing his gray beard and bowing his head to think. On the table next to him was a chapter of the Yellow Thick Holy Decree.

"Someone's coming!"

A servant tiptoed in at the door: "What do you command?" ”

"Don't come here!"

"Whoa!"

The don't drive in Tao Qian's mouth is naturally Xuzhou's don't drive Mizhu.

Tao Qian is not a native of Xuzhou, but a native of Danyang, Yangzhou. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many gate valves, and almost all states and counties had scholars with deep roots.

These families, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, are all local nominal emperors. If a foreign official threatens the interests of his family, I am afraid that the two tigers will fight and one will be injured.

Therefore, such officials generally use two methods to quickly integrate into the local area and take over the power: read the full text after the poison of the concubine. One is like Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, with the power of thunder and iron blood, sweeping away the local warriors, quickly supporting their own forces, and gaining a foothold in the local area; The second is the method of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, befriending some local scholars and suppressing another part of the scholars, so as to gain a foothold in the local area.

Tao Qian's method is similar to Liu Biao's method, just the first step into Xuzhou, Tao Qian's eyes fell on the local wealthy businessman Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu became famous in Xuzhou, not only because of his hundreds of millions of family assets, but also because of a magical thing that happened to him.

It is said that when Mi Zhu was young, he once returned from a long trip and saw a woman curled up on the side of a deserted road, which was very pitiful. Mi Zhu saw that his clothes were tattered, and his body was lonely, so he couldn't bear it, and carried him forward more than 20 miles with his own frame, and the woman thanked him, and when he left, the woman suddenly changed the shape of the rickets, and Mi Zhu said: "I am the king of Huode Xing, and now I am ordered by heaven to go to the East China Sea to burn your house." Grateful to see it, it is for a virtuous person, so it is a talk! ”

Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard this, and he pleaded in private.

The woman shook her head: "Destiny is like this, it has to be burned." In this case, you can go back quickly, and I should slow down. Remember, the fire is also in the middle of the day! ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he thanked him again and again, and hurried back. After arriving home, Mi Zhu asked people to move out of the house with all their belongings. All the items were moved out, and it was the middle of the day, when I saw fireworks in the house, which immediately spread throughout the house, and the large goods burned directly for a day and a night before gradually extinguishing.

Since then, Mi Zhu has been even more pious and good, and his reputation has spread far and wide.

After Tao Qian came to Xuzhou, he worshiped Mi Zhu for Xuzhou; And Mi Zhu also reciprocated the favor, vigorously funded Tao Qian, recruited troops, and stabilized the situation in Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu not only has strong financial assistance, but also has political ability that ordinary people can't match, which makes Tao Qian look at Mi Zhu differently and regard him as a confidant.

Maybe it's because of his age, Tao Qian's temperament is far less decisive than when he was young, and Tao Qian really can't make up his mind about this holy decree.

After a while, Mi Zhu, who was slightly chubby, walked in and said to Tao Qian: "What did the adults call me?" ”

"Oh, Zizhong is here, sit down!"

Tao Qian first beckoned Mi Zhu to sit down, and then handed the holy decree on the table to Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, take a look!" ”

Mi Zhu took the decree and read it softly:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

Now that the Quartet is at the beginning of peace, the war is gone, and it is the time when a hundred ruins are waiting to be revived! Yuan Shao of Bohai, vainly raising troops and bringing peace to the world of chaos, is really not a minister! Hearing Tao Gong's righteousness, I was very comforted, so I wanted to order the soldiers of Xuzhou to wave the flag to the north to punish Yuan Shao, and not to live up to my hopes! Chin this. ”

"Northern expedition Yuan Shao?" Mi Zhu frowned and thought about it.

Tao Qian saw Mi Zhu read the holy decree, and couldn't help but say: "What is the matter with the war in the north and my Xuzhou? What's more, there is also Qingzhou in the north of Xuzhou, Zizhong, what do you think Your Majesty means by this holy decree? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Zhu understood the mystery: this is His Majesty's holy decree, and it must be Guan Yan's meaning.

Jizhou is Guan Yan's territory, and now Yuan Shao has sent troops to attack, Jizhou is in danger, and Guan Yan is lacking in skills, so he can't go to rescue Jizhou at all.

Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Kai is a subordinate of Gongsun Chan of Youzhou, and this time he attacked Jizhou, and Gongsun Chan also joined, so Qingzhou will definitely not send troops to help, so Guan Yan hit Xuzhou with the idea. First, Tao Qian was absolutely loyal to the Han Emperor, and Guan Yan ordered Tao Qian to go on the expedition in the name of the Han Emperor, and Tao Qian would definitely not be able to refuse; Second, the relationship between Guan Yan and himself is not bad, so Guan Yan also knows that he is very good at driving in Xuzhou, and he will definitely help.

This Guan Yan is a wishful thinking!

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu couldn't help but smile slightly and put down the holy decree in his hand.

Tao Qian saw Mi Zhu smiling, and hurriedly asked, "Zizhong, but."
