The dim and faint sunlight shone on Liu Bei's calm eyes, and Liu Bei's eyes were as clear as the gloom in the moonlight.

Under the hall, the civil and military forces lined up on both sides, looking at Liu Bei expectantly, waiting for him to give an order. The whole scene was extremely solemn, no one spoke, the needle drop could be heard, and the guards on both sides of the battle column felt this solemn atmosphere, and they couldn't help but swallow secretly.

Liu Bei's eyes closed slightly, his right hand supported his knee, and his left hand gently rubbed the hilt of the double-strand sword at his waist, and his face was expressionless and fell into contemplation. For a long time, as if he had just woken up from the endless darkness, Liu Bei's empty gaze instantly condensed, and he slowly stood up. Seeing this, everyone in the audience straightened up one after another, ready to listen to Liu Bei's final decision.

"The original plan remains the same," Liu Bei's tone was extremely firm: "I'll wait until I take Yanzhou first and then figure out another way!" ”

The scribes breathed a sigh of relief, while the generals were unwilling. But Liu Bei had already made up his mind, and they had no choice but to comply.

"Lord, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses left behind in Yanzhou are mostly in Shanyang Changyi, and the Son of Heaven is also here, we have now taken Chenliu, as long as we capture Puyang, we can take Dongjun, and then go straight to Changyi. Cao Cao's army is on an expedition to Qingzhou at this time, and we must attack Changyi and rescue the Son of Heaven before he takes Qingzhou to return for reinforcements. Chen Qun first clarified the situation.

"Although our situation is critical now, fortunately, Cao Mengde's situation is not much better than ours. If we can completely occupy Yanzhou before it takes Qingzhou, then the other party will steal chickens and rice. Liu Ye said with relief.

Liu Bei said with a slightly hideous face: "Yun Chang, Yide, inform the soldiers below that they will rest for one night tonight, leave five thousand guards, and our army will continue to send troops tomorrow." ”

Zhang Fei's face was a little stunned: "Big brother, we haven't rested for a moment since Yuzhou sent troops, and in the past few days, in order to take down Chen Liu, we have been attacking day and night, without stopping at all, and the soldiers under our command are exhausted." It's just a day off, isn't it..."

What replied to him was Liu Bei's emotionless eyes, Zhang Fei saw this, his neck shrunk and he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Liu Bei said in a cold tone: "Let the soldiers work hard during this time, and when they capture Changyi and rescue the Son of Heaven, a certain meeting will play the Son of Heaven to reward the three armies and reward them heavily!" ”

When life and death were at stake, Liu Bei could no longer pretend to be that benevolent face, as if he had changed a person, his temperament was somewhat similar to Cao Cao, and the whole person was extremely cold and decisive.

"No!"

......

The Central Plains has been in great war one after another, and Gongsun Zhan, who has stabilized the grassland in the north, is naturally not willing to be silent.

"The situation in the Central Plains is chaotic, and this is not a good opportunity for us to send troops! If Cao Cao takes Qingzhou, we will ally with it, and Yuan Shao will definitely not be an opponent under the attack from both sides. Looking at Gongsun Zhan, who was full of excitement when he summoned all the generals, Tian Yu couldn't help but stand up directly and admonish.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan experienced the Battle of Wolf Juxu, and after pacifying the grassland and taking the northern Xinjiang, he had once again regained the momentum of looking down on the world before the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, and it was extremely incomparable. After hearing Tian Yu's words, his brows furrowed slightly in an instant, and his face showed displeasure.

Guan Jing, who is good at speculating on people's hearts and touting welcomes, immediately jumped out and said: "The country makes this a mistake. The lord is brave and brave, Weijia Hainei, now he has 200,000 elite cavalry under his command, countless generals, and even the northern alien races that have endangered the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years have been targeted by the lord, why does a mere Yuan Shao need to join forces with others to take it down? If it is spread out, will it not make others laugh? Jizhou is rich, and now the Central Plains is in turmoil and unable to look north, which is the best time for the main male whale to swallow Jizhou and dominate Hebei. ”

When Gongsun Chan heard this, his brows loosened and he nodded slightly. Guan Jing, who had been quietly paying attention to Gongsun Zhan, saw this, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Lord, don't be careless! In the original battle of the boundary bridge, the elite of the troops under Yuan Shao's command was decisive for people, and you have also seen that this is a great enemy, and we must unite with us to win, otherwise we may be overturned! Tian Yu glared at Guan Jing hatefully, and said with a little anxious dissuasion.

Gongsun Zhan's face instantly turned ugly. At the beginning, the battle of the boundary bridge was the one thing that Gongsun Chan was most ashamed of, but Tian Yu wanted to dissuade Gongsun Chan from mentioning this battle again, but it made him feel a little annoyed.

Although Guan Jing was usually afraid of Tian Yu's authority, he was bent on climbing up and taking Tian Yu's place, and he was bent on seizing this opportunity, so he gritted his teeth and withstood Tian Yu's pressure, looked directly at the other party and said: "The lord didn't win all the victories at the beginning, but he was just a little careless." How can Yuan Shao's talent and power be compared to the lord? Now that our army has pacified the grassland, the troops are flourishing, and the morale is high, it is a good time to move south to seize Jizhou in one fell swoop. The country makes you so unoptimistic about this battle, is it possible that you think that the lord is not as good as Yuan Benchu? ”

"You're talking nonsense, and so-and-so said that?" Tian Yu reprimanded angrily: "Our strength has increased greatly, and Yuan Benchu has also pacified and merged the state, and the increase in power is no less than that of our army!" And now that the grassland is preliminary, Xianbei Wuhuan has not yet been completely annexed, and there are still many people who have different intentions, how to go south due to internal instability? ”

"What about internal instability? All the different races are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, as long as the lord defeats Yuan Benchu, what can these little people do? Now that the princes of the world are frantically fighting and expanding their power, if the lord just waits like this, how can he grow his power and dominate the world? Now that he has stood up, there is no room for retreat, Guan Jing retorted without the slightest fear.

"Think twice!" Tian Yu looked at Gongsun Zan with a solemn face.

"Please also ask the Lord to decide!" Guan Jing also said without showing weakness.

Gongsun Chan had been quietly watching the two arguing, with a hesitant look on his face, obviously he was also weighing. What Tian Yu said was indeed good, but it did not fit his character, and what Guan Jing said was more in line with his mind in comparison.

Just when Gongsun Zhan hesitated, Guan Jing said with a smile on his face: "Lord, there is another matter, Jiangdong has already had an answer to the matter of suggesting that the lord and Yuan Highway should trade. ”

"Oh? How did Yuan Highway answer? When Gongsun Zhan heard this, his eyes lit up.

Yuan Highway is naturally very interested in the deal proposed by the lord, but there are still some details that need to be discussed with the lord. Now that a messenger has been sent to consult with the Lord, may I ask if the Lord has seen it? Guan Jing asked.

"Xuan!"

When Guan Jing heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he immediately ordered the guards to bring Yuan Shu's messenger up. And Tian Yu saw the smile on Guan Jing's lips, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Soon, a smiling elegant gentleman walked in slowly, and after respectfully bowing, he said with a warm face: "Mi Zhu, the envoy in Xiayangzhou, meet the general!" ”
