Yuan Shu has never taken Liu Bei in his eyes, and he is just to contain Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao's northern expedition to Qingzhou, Liu Bei is in a hurry and also tries his best to attack Cao Cao's foundation Yanzhou, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to take Yuzhou, so it just happened to be in line with Yuan Shu's plan.

To drive away the wolf and devour the tiger, Liu Bei is just a pawn in the eyes of Yuan Shu, and when he has not crossed the river, he can only go all the way forward according to Yuan Shu's wishes, and drive Yuan Shu forward. Liu Bei, who was eager to survive, had no choice at all, even if he understood that he might have fallen for Yuan Shu's calculations, he had to do it. This is Yangmou, suppressing it with the general momentum, Liu Bei is clear in his heart, and he can only attack Yanzhou with a trace of luck.

What is Yuzhou? The concentration of the family, the base camp of the Yuan family, is full of people from the Yuan family and families who are friendly with the Yuan family, although after being controlled by Liu Bei, many people have fallen to Liu Bei, but there are not a few families who secretly contact Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shu, the overlord of the six states and the concubine of the Yuan family, attacked, whether it was the huge power of Yuan Shu or the prestige of the Yuan family, there would definitely be many responders.

Liu Bei didn't know that he had been tragically calculated by Yuan Shu, and at this time he was full of joy dreaming of capturing Yanzhou, rescuing the Son of Heaven, and recovering the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu and others sailed quickly towards Yizhou under the escort of the army, and then took a warship down the Yangtze River on the Yizhou waterway, but returned to Jiangdong in half a month, and at this time Liu Bei had already invaded Yanzhou, all the way from Chenliu directly to Shanyang Changyi, the capital of Yanzhou. Since preparing to attack Qingzhou, Cao Cao transferred the Son of Heaven and the army from Chenliu to this place in case Liu Bei attacked.

At this time, the battlefield of the Central Plains seemed to be a pot of porridge, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were all fighting each other, and the tens of thousands of troops left by Yuan Shu in Tongguan were also constantly advancing eastward, all the way from Hangu Pass to Luoyang and Tiger Prison Pass.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the north seemed to want to join in the fun and were ready to move. Originally, the Yuan army in Jizhou originally had the intention of gathering in the direction of Qingzhou, but the southern pressure of Gongsun Zhan's army made Yuan Shao quickly give up the idea of invading Qingzhou, and the whole army was tightly guarded on the border between Jizhou and Youzhou to prevent Gongsun Chan from going south.

The situation in the world is like a pile of gunpowder, which is about to erupt, and the outcome of a battlefield is likely to directly lead to many chain reactions. All sides are constantly courting allies and fighting over each other. At this time, there were three letters in Yuan Shu's hand.

Yuan Shu's fingers slowly passed over the three letters on the table one by one, and smiled: "Now I have become the sweetheart of these people, even the old beauty of World War II is nothing more than that." ”

The three letters came from Liu Bei, Lü Bu and Gongsun Zhan, one for the alliance, one for help, and one for the transaction, all of which were requested by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is now outside the battlefield, but he controls the northern battlefield and controls the wind and clouds.

"If a certain forced northern expedition is carried out, I'm afraid these people will unite to attack me together!" Yuan Shu chuckled and said, "If you don't move, these people are moving." ”

When Guo Jia heard Yuan Shu's words, he smiled and said: "The combined strength of the six countries is far superior to the Qin State, but the strong Qin can defeat the Six Kingdoms like a bamboo, how is it different from today?" For example, there are only six remaining princes today, Yuan Shao is arrogant, Cao Cao is heroic, and Liu Bei is forbearing, these three may take care of the overall situation. But the remaining three, Lu Bu is impatient and capricious, Gongsun Zan is upright and irritable, and Yuan Shao is the enemy of life and death, and Gongsun Du is as timid as a mouse and shrinks into Liaodong, all of which are not to be worried. My lord, you are leading the army to the Northern Expedition, and these people may not be able to join the alliance. ”

"If you can save a point of effort, you can be a little more stable." Yuan Shu said very unproductively: "It takes time and effort to fight all the way, and it is not conducive to the reconstruction after the stall is too big, so it is better to lay a solid foundation step by step." It's a pity that Gongsun Chan is too upright, otherwise if the situation in Hebei can be maintained, there will be no need to worry about Yuan Shao at all. ”

"Then what is the lord going to do with these three letters?" Jia Xu asked.

Yuan Shu casually picked up the letter of help sent by Lu Bu: "Lu Bu is a brave man, it is a pity to let him be defeated and die or fall into the hands of Cao Cao, it is best to surrender." ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said inexplicably: "The lord is not afraid of becoming Lu Bu's third father-in-law?" Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's endings are not so good! ”

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth hooked, and he said confidently: "Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are too small, and they use a peerless general who is good at conquering the world as a scribe and bodyguard, which is not the case. ”

Guo Jia looked at Yuan Shu's pretending appearance, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "The lord is not afraid of Lu Bu because there are evil people and Zhong Kang around him!" ”

Yuan Shu's face turned dark when he heard this, and he glared at Guo Jia: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

Everyone is not as dissolute as Guo Jia, who is fancy in front of Yuan Shu, and at this time, they all look at their noses and noses, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and keep their mouths shut. When Guo Jia heard this, he shrank his head, smiled softly on his face, and pretended to be deaf and dumb like everyone else.

Yuan Shu scolded Guo Jia back, and coughed lightly after he was angry: "Lu Bu is certainly brave, but there are countless fierce generals and generals under the command of our army, and there are not a few who can match them, and it is okay to recruit them, what do you think?" ”

Everyone agreed: "What the lord said is very true. ”

"Then how do you think you should help Lu Bu?"

Jia Xu said: "Lord, Lu Bu can be saved, but he can't be helped. This person has a cold temperament, and it is useless for our army to help him, so it is the best policy to save one of them when he is in danger. ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment and hesitated: "But in this way, Qingzhou falls into the hands of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has no one to control in the Central Plains!" ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "Lord, what do you need to take into account the situation in the Central Plains at this time?" If the situation is right, why can't we take the Central Plains directly? What's more, isn't there still a Liu Bei? Lu Bu's pattern is not big, it is not enough to divide one party, and it is useless for the lord to help him. ”

Yuan Shu thought about Lu Bu's shameless character, in history, this thing was an anti-guest to seize Xuzhou from Liu Bei, he was completely a white-eyed wolf, and his heart was slightly cold.

"What you said is very true, then send Jiang Qin to lead the navy to the rescue. If Lu Bu asked, he would say that our army was fighting everywhere and lacked troops, and there were not enough troops to go to the rescue. Yuan Shu said.

Yuan Shu's words are not false, he is indeed a little short of troops now. Tens of thousands of cavalry were laid out in western Liaoxi waiting for the opportunity to move, tens of thousands of troops were placed in Xiliang to stabilize the situation, there were tens of thousands of troops in Tongguan westward, and there were many soldiers and horses in various states.
