Chapter 728: The Reaction of the Major Princes (Three-in-One)

Ganling City, after seeing Han Heng and Yin Kai out of the city, Gao Gan and others did not immediately go out of the city, but saw the troops of Han Heng, Yin Kai and others in the north lighting torches, heard the shouts of killing in the distance, and then saw the Donglai army in the west city with torches to reinforce the north, so they decisively came out of the west gate.

It's just that not long after they left the city, they even bypassed the Donglai army camp, only to see torches lit up in the south, and countless shouts of killing came out.

"Gao Gan Xiao'er is gone, leaving a small life!"

Gao Gan, Cui Lin and the others were also shocked, and hurriedly said to their opponents: "Go!" Don't fall in love with the war, don't get entangled with the Donglai army. ”

Gao Gan and the others were also decisive, urging the war horses to rush without looking back, and rushed straight to the west.

At this time, if you run slowly, you will be killed and ambushed, and you can only rush forward with your head bored, and you can walk as much as you can.

Sure enough, the next moment there was also a torch-wielding Donglai army from the north, this army was originally going to reinforce the west, but that was just to confuse Gao Gan and others, so they turned back as soon as possible.

Gao Gan and the other soldiers did not dare to shoot torches, so they ran forward in the vast night.

His approach was extremely correct, and the shouting and killing behind him became smaller and smaller, and of course the team that could follow him became smaller and smaller.

And they are all riding war horses, and those who don't ride horses have long been lost.

Gao Gan, who became a small target after dawn, breathed a sigh of relief, and Daqing escaped.

Just counting back, there were only more than a hundred riders who ran out with him.

"Where's Wenhui?"

Gao Gan did not find his cousin in the team, his eyebrows tightened, and he had relatives.

Xia Zhaodao, the general under his command: "When I fled, I saw that Wen Hui seemed to have been cut off his horse by a red-faced enemy general with a big knife, a long beard, and a green robe. ”

"That should be Guan Yu of the Fifth Captain's Army, General Liu's Day Mourning." Cui Lin sighed slightly and reassured.

Guan Yu made a move, not to mention Gao Rou, who was born as a civil official, even Xia Zhao, Deng Sheng and others would die if they couldn't take three knives.

"Okay, you Guan Yu, I will avenge this revenge in the future." Gao Gan swore viciously.

"The general should not stay here for a long time, let's go to Wei County and go to Hanoi as soon as possible." Cui Lin said.

Gao Gan glanced at the tired soldiers, turned around and beat the horse to urge and rush again.

Harvested overnight, Gao Gan and Cui Lin's army was basically wiped out, although Gao Gan and Cui Lin were not caught, but Guo Jia and others were quite satisfied.

Gao Gan and the others are nothing, and even if they escape, they won't be able to make any waves.

Qinghe County, Guo Jia and others considered going to Youzhou to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao's army, eliminate this great prince, and take a solid step for the world.

On the other side, the trial and others also attacked all the way, and soon Changshan and Zhongshan were eaten.

However, he did not continue to go north to Youzhou, but turned around to deploy troops and horses in Changshan Kingdom, and he judged that Yuan Shao would definitely ask Liu Bei for help.

And Li Su, who likes to play shady tricks with black hands, will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to Jizhou, whether it is to fight the city or support Yuan Shao, Li Su will definitely make a move.

Therefore, the trial could not give Li Su a chance, at least not let him invade Changshan State, and not let him attack the great military power that the Donglai Army had just established in Jizhou.

Xu You's letter was first delivered to Liu Bei in Daijun.

After receiving the letter, Liu Bei returned his confidant Liu Yan to Jian Yong.

asked: "Yuan Shao wrote a letter saying that Xu Ding attacked Jizhou, Xu Ding's target was not Youzhou but Jizhou, he had the ambition to swallow the sky, this time he wanted to directly remove Yuan Shao and his army, and solve the problem of Jizhou at one time."

Do you think I should send troops to support Jizhou to save Yuan Shao? ”

Liu Yan said: "Lord, Jizhou must be saved, we are now with Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao has an accident, Jizhou Youzhou is taken by Xu Ding, then Xu Ding should do it to us next."

At that time, there will be no one to help us deal with Xu Ding, and no one will help us attract Xu Ding's attention, so when we send troops into Jizhou, attack Xu Ding's department. ”

Liu Bei bowed slightly, he had actually made up his mind, but he wanted to be humble and polite to his subordinates to take a fancy to you and treat you politely.

So he looked at Jian Yong again, this was his earliest scribe, and he had been following him diligently.

Although his ability is limited, he can't ignore his feelings.

Jian Yong said: "Wei Shuo's words are reasonable, as soon as Yuan Shao dies, we will be under great pressure, but how do we rescue Jizhou, now that Huang Zhong's troops have entered Daijun, they have been out of the way, not fighting with us head-on, using his cavalry advantage to sneak attack all parts of our army, and we can't fully control Daijun."

There are really no soldiers and energy to go south. ”

Liu Yan said: "We won't go south, but the second general can, hasn't the second general always wanted to lead the troops to the battle?" This is an opportunity, and it is time for the second general's soldiers and horses to fight a strong enemy, otherwise it will always be a rabble and will not be able to grow.

Now is the best time to do it. ”

Liu Bei pretended to think about it, and then clapped his hand and said: "Okay, just let the second brother go, let him bring more soldiers and horses east into Jizhou, and Xu Ding must not be allowed to obtain Jizhou, otherwise it will be an endless disaster for me and the state." ”

There is no border with Xu Ding, which is an opportunity for Liu Bei's development over the years, which is why it has the current scale.

He knew that if China bordered Xu Ding, not to mention the big war, the small war could not be avoided, and his little bit of civil and military strength was really not enough for Xu Ding to see.

So he has been growing stronger, waiting for this day to be on an equal footing with Xu Ding.

There are still a lot of gaps, and he really doesn't want to be a neighbor with Xu Ding like this, but he is reluctant to let Yuan Shao perish.

Here Liu Bei sent someone to inform Li Su again, and soon Li Su received the news, and without saying a word, tens of thousands of people went east to Changshan Kingdom.

Li Su moved, but the people sent by Yuan Shao to Lu Bu in Puyang touched the nail.

Lu Bu refused directly at first, he was not familiar with Yuan Shao, if he hadn't stared at Cao Cao's vacant territory, he would have wanted to take a bite of Yuan Shao.

So after Lu Bu rejected Yuan Shao's envoy, he found Chen Gong and said: "Gongtai, today Yuan Shao sent someone to form an alliance and wanted me to go north to help him, but I refused, what do you think?" ”

Chen Gong stroked his beard and replied with a slight sigh: "General, let's not talk about whether we have a friendship with Yuan Shao, even if we send troops, I don't think we can save Yuan Shao with the current situation in Jizhou."

Weihai Hou made up his mind to destroy Yuan Shao, and transferred elites from all over the country to weave a gale, how could it be so easy to break, in my opinion, Yuan Shao will die this time.

So there is no need for us to wade into this troubled water, after all, the food supply of our Yanzhou is still provided by the Marquis of Weihai, and once we fight with it, the people of Yanzhou will run out of food, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of the general's team. ”

Lu Bu nodded when he heard this, he didn't want to help Yuan Shao in the first place.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are all the way, the Yuan family doesn't have a good thing, he already has a grudge against the Yuan family, how can he save Jizhou.

Besides, Yuan Shaote even Xu Yu was taking advantage of him, saying that he would let his son take his daughter, and the Yuan and Lu families would become Qin and Jin.

Who is saving whom, your daughter is right to marry me.

Thinking of the benefits, Lu Bu suddenly had a thought flashing through his mind, and asked Chen Gongdao: "Gongtai, you said that all the elites of Xu Ding have been transferred north to Jizhou, then Taizhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou are not very empty, if someone provokes trouble at this time, does it mean ......?"

Lu Bu's next words couldn't be said, Chen Gong understood what Lu Bu wanted to, shook his head and said: "General, don't think so, Weihai Hou's subordinates have a three-dimensional military system, not only the most capable Jin Wuwei and the school captain army, but also the same well-trained county soldiers, county soldiers, many of these soldiers are retired from the elite army, and they have rich combat experience."

Moreover, the county soldiers and county soldiers in various places also have strict military laws, and they cannot be taken lightly when fighting.

At the same time, there is also a large number of militias that can be used as a reserve to provide a steady stream, and once the war is stalemate, it will fall into it and be dragged to death. ”

Chen Gong felt that the most terrifying thing about Xu Ding was not the regular elite field army such as Jin Wuwei and the school captain.

Rather, it has a three-dimensional military defense system, and from top to small, there are efficient and strict laws that can ensure that his war potential is continuously opened.

As soon as he fights with whomever he does, he will do evil.

Naturally, it was not recommended that Lu Bu provoke Xu Ding.

"Uh...... I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will be restless. Lu Bu was embarrassed for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's just so good that I can return the favor of Weihaihou." ”

Chen Gong didn't know Lu Bu's careful thoughts, and seeing that he had dispelled the idea of such a child's play, he didn't say much, but silently expressed his worries about Lu Bu's future.

Lu Bu is very good to be a fierce general, but he still lacks a lot of things as a master.

Yuan Shao's envoy couldn't get what he wanted here in LΓΌ Bu, so he ran to Cao Cao in Yingchuan.

It was Xun Yu who received him, Xun Yu said: "I'm sorry, my lord has no time to separate the affairs of Kanto now, the army is going west, I'm afraid that Pa can't help Jizhou Mu, but for the sake of the world's creatures, for the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, I suggest that you and Weihai Hou can sit down and discuss it slowly." ”

"Negotiate a fart." Karasuma really wanted to scold his mother, but Cao Ah wouldn't save it if he didn't save it, and he said so much nonsense.

Karasuma came out of Yingchuan, went all the way south and then went to Yuan Shu, hoping that Yuan Shu could save Yuan Shao.

After all, they are all members of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shu met with Karasuma Touch, and at first he was a little unconvinced.

"General Hou, this matter is true, Xu Ding's elite did his best, sneak attacked my Jizhou, and surrounded my lord in Youzhou, if the general can't help, my lord's life is worried, I will be the king of Jizhou." Karasuma complained in a complaining voice:

"The general understands the righteousness and should understand the right and wrong in the world, the brothers are on the wall, and the outside is humiliated, the Xu family and the Yuan family have an irreconcilable enmity, if my lord has a mistake, the general will face Xu Ding alone in the future, and the pressure will be doubled.

Please ask the general to send troops to help, and you must not learn from Lu Bu, Cao Cao and other small people in the market who only want to be happy for a while, and regret it for life. ”

Yuan Shu wanted to refuse in one bite, but the brother who came out of the concubine was deflated, and he was happy to see it.

Yuan Shao, who everyone is optimistic about, is worse than him, and Yuan Shu is naturally happy and secretly proud.

However, Karasuma's words are not unreasonable.

I can't write a single word Yuan.

The Yuan family and the Xu family have a big grudge that has accumulated since Luoyang.

Yuan Shao is dead, and he is the next target to take revenge.

So he thought for a while and replied: "You came all the way from Youzhou, rest for a while, I think about it." ”

"Hey! The general should not delay for too long, the military situation is like fire, and there must be no delay. Karasuma was half relieved when he saw that Yuan Shu didn't refuse on the spot, but when he saw Yuan Shu hesitating, he reminded him, and then he was taken down by Yuan Shu's people to rest.

Karasuma touched away, and Yuan Shu called his three strategists over.

Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang, and Yang Hong arrived and sat down one after another.

Yuan Shu said: "Yuan Shao sent Karasuma to ask for help, saying that Xu Ding's elite went out to attack Jizhou, and he had the intention of destroying him and reaping the meaning of Jiyou, what do you think I should do." ”

All three were taken aback.

If Yuan Shao and Xu Ding beat them in Youzhou, it wouldn't be strange, because there were signs of this matter long ago.

Now Xu Ding not only wants Youzhou, but also wants to eat Jizhou in one bite.

That's a big deal.

Yuan Jian immediately stood up and said: "The lord should immediately send troops to help, if the land of Jiyou is in the bag, then the entire land of Kanto will be over, and in the next step, Xu Ding will be calm whether he attacks us or Liu Bei, and even swallows the entire Kanto with the foundation of Jizhou and Youzhou." ”

Yuan Shu said: "I also want to send troops, but there is a Lu Bu in the middle, and Karasuma touched that Lu Bu refused to send troops to Jizhou to help Yuan Shao, and we couldn't get through at all." ”

Lu Bunas has a grudge against him, and the first thing Lu Bu did when he left Wuguan last year was to vote for his name, but he was restless and slipped away to Hanoi.

The two had a feud first, and with the addition of the competition for Liang and other places, a new feud was added.

He was going to send an army through Yanzhou, and if he didn't say that Lu Bu would take a bite, he would take the opportunity to weaken his Yuan Shu.

Yang Hong said: "The lord can't go north, then let's go east, in the attack on Xuzhou, at this time the elite of the Xu Ding Department is exhausted, and even the fifth lieutenant Guan Yu Department has been transferred to Jizhou, Xuzhou is empty at this time, even if we don't attack Xuzhou, we should take back the land on the first line of Peiguo." ”

Yuan Shu was very moved by this suggestion, in fact, he just wanted to do this, Xu Ding's elite was transferred, taking the opportunity to seize his city, attack his land, kill his generals and officials, and when was it better than this opportunity.

However, Yan Xiang, who has always been rigid and serious, said: "The lord can't! ”

Yuan Shu was happy, but he didn't have a seizure, but asked, "Why not?" ”

This Yan Xiang likes to raise the pole with him the most, and most of the things that Yuan Shu likes to do, Yan Xiang is mostly opposed or unsupported.

If it weren't for Yan Xiang's fame and talent, Yuan Shu really didn't want to use him, so the general big and small affairs were handed over to Yuan Jian and Yang Hong.

"Lord, it is obvious that the elite of Weihai was transferred north to Jizhou, but who knows how many soldiers and horses he put in Xuzhou, and his sailors Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not leave.

The soldiers and horses of the original Xuzhou did not go!

And whether Li Jin and the First Army were quietly transferred from Weiyuan Island, we didn't go to investigate, if we can easily advance eastward again.

What if Lu Bu and Weihaihou had a private agreement to divide my Yuzhou equally like Yanzhou? ”

Cao Cao's experience is in front, Yuzhou soldiers and horses are advancing eastward, won't Lu Bu come to sneak attack?

Xu Ding didn't need to do anything, as long as he promised Lu Bu to capture Yuzhou, except for Peiguo, in fact, all counties belonged to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was not allowed to attack with a roar.

You must know that Lu Bu, this guy has milk, and he is a mother.

Yuan Shu's heart was a little itchy, and the uneasy heart just now was extinguished with cold water, which was also one of the reasons why he didn't like Yan Xiang, so he asked, "Then what do you say you want to do!" We'll just do it and watch. ”

Yuan Shu said this with a hint of childish complaint.

"Lord, of course we can't do nothing, dealing with Weihaihou is not a matter of one state, when we invite the world, at least we have to let Yangzhou participate, otherwise it is better not to do it!" Yan Xiang replied.

"Let Yangzhou get involved, you say be specific." Yuan Shu suddenly became a little interested, feeling that Yan Xiang should be able to say something he liked to hear today.

Yan Xiang said: "Tell Karasuma directly to Ming, let him go to Sun Jian, if the Sun family is willing to support Yuan Shao to attack Xuding, we will send troops to the east, if Sun Jian does not move, why should we fight alone, if the Sun family is not in the future, not in the future of Yangzhou, then what are we afraid of in Yuzhou, is it a big deal that everyone will end up together?" ”

This time Yuan Shu nodded with great satisfaction: "Yes, that's the truth, why is it always only me Yuzhou who sent troops to deal with Xu Ding, they sat and watched the play one by one, and they wanted to fight together, or they didn't fight all and waited for death." ”

With an idea, Yuan Shu asked Karasuma to come to him and told him what he meant.

Karasuma was in a dilemma for a while.

You have to convince Sun Jian before you can say that Yuan Shu can send troops, which is a bit difficult.

Even the Yuan family, who had a grudge against Xu Ding, did not send troops, and it could be said that the Sun family, who had a relationship with Xu Ding, sent troops.

Just thinking about it makes my head big.

Karasuma felt that he was going to run away for nothing this time.

Yang Hong saw that Karasuma was silent, so he pulled him out of the house and said: "Actually, my lord wants to send troops, but it is extremely difficult for the generals below to explain and appease, at the beginning of the year, the soldiers were lost, and the vitality was greatly injured, and all the generals were afraid, if there are no allies, who dares to advance eastward."

Therefore, you should go to Yangzhou as early as possible and persuade the Sun family more, with the Sun family attacking on the right flank, and our lord attacking on the left flank, so that you can have a great chance of victory. ”

"However, I don't have the confidence to persuade the Sun family, Sun Jian and Xu Ding have an old relationship, and didn't he move at the beginning of the year?" I don't know what Yang Hong and Yuan Shu mean, but his Karasuma Touch's strength does not allow it, and all the way down, he touched all the ashes, and he didn't see a piece of meat.

Yang Hong said with a smile: "At this time and that time, at that time, everyone wanted to eliminate Xu Ding, and the main attack was a bit far-fetched, but now it is different, Youzhou and Jizhou Xu Ding want, then there will be no one to control in Kanto, isn't the Sun family in a hurry, they will be tied up, you just have to do what I say, and the Sun family will send troops." ”

"Thank you for Yang Changshi's guidance." Karasuma finally had some joy on his face when he heard this, and he was busy asking for advice.

Yang Hong muttered a few times in his ear, and the more Karasuma touched it, the more his eyes became brighter, and finally he was satisfied, and hurried to Jiujiang County, instead of Jiang Xia and Yuzhang.

Soon Karasuma touched the Koto Jiujiang Shouchun.

Sun Ce was also surprised when he heard that Yuan Shao was coming.

The Sun family and Yuan Shao did not have any contact and contact, and it was strange that Yuan Shao suddenly sent an envoy to come.

Sun Ce asked people to call Zhang Hong, Lu Fan and others, and then met Karasuma Touch together.

"The envoy of Jizhou has seen the young general!" Karasuma's language was extremely respectful, and none of the princes took care of Yuan Shao along the way south, so that Karasuma, who was an envoy, also put away his original arrogant mentality.

Sun Ce greeted him with a smile: "You're welcome, sit down." ”

"Major General Xie!" Karasuma sat down, and Sun Ce said: "I Yangzhou has never had much contact with Jizhou, why did Yuan Shao send you here?" ”

Sun Ce himself is also a fierce and arrogant person, famous for dominating Jiangdong, so he has no good impression of Yuan Shao, who has no friendship.

Besides, it was only an envoy under Yuan Shao who came, and he was not an important minister and a son, so in his opinion, he could not give face at all.

Sun Ce is like this, the people he looks up to will be very respectful, and what he can't look down on is a look of ignorance.

Karasuma was ready to touch his nose, knowing that Sun Ce would not agree easily, but this guy was too arrogant and arrogant.

It is very rude to call Yuan Shao's name directly.

Although Karasuma was indignant in his heart, this time he had a heavy responsibility and was concerned about the survival of Yuan Shao and Jizhou, so he had to endure it, and replied with his fists clenched:

"Major General, Xu Ding has sent troops to Jizhou, he wants to swallow the two states of Jizhou in one go, the general trend of the world will completely change, the land of Kanto will belong to the Xu family, and my lord sent me over to save the Sun family."

"What?" Sun Seteng stood up.

This news is indeed shocking, the newspaper talks about Youzhou every day, Xu Ding and Gongsun Zhan face off outside the Guan, the winner wins Youzhou, and the loser will never get involved, which is still a topic after dinner.

In the blink of an eye, such a big news broke out.

Xu Ding still wants to eat Jizhou, he fights Jizhou.

Sun Ce's eyes glared at Karasuma and sneered: "Yuan Shao sent you to save my Sun family, it's really ridiculous, I'm afraid his own life is difficult to protect, my Sun family and I Yangzhou have no war, why do you need Jizhou to rescue, it's really ridiculous." ”

After saying that, Sun Ce threw off his robe and sat back down, but his eyes were still like knives, and he stared at Karasuma Touch.

Karasuma could clearly feel Sun Ce's anger and killing intent, but now that Qihu appeared, he couldn't come down.

Yang Hong taught him that when he came to Jiangjiu, he first provoked Sun Ce, and only after angering Sun Ce could he gain the support of the Sun family, so Karasuma stubbornly said:

"It's because I have a crisis in Jizhou, your Sun family needs to be rescued, I Jizhou is falling, and I promise that the next step will be to swallow Yangzhou, and then the north and south will invade Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou, and unify the land of Kanto and rule the world.

So Yangzhou is not far from destruction, don't you need to be saved? Can your Sun family beat the Xu family? ”

Karasuma himself didn't know how he had the courage to say such a thing, but secretly prayed, hoping that this guy Yang Hong wouldn't lie to him and don't push him into the fire pit.

Although Sun Ce was not convinced, what Karasuma said was indeed reasonable, and he was suppressed by Xu Ding, which was a thorn in Sun Ce's face, and it hurt when he picked it lightly.

If he wasn't afraid of going to war with Xu Ding in the future, his Sun family wouldn't have started a war with Jingzhou without even recuperating.

In order to increase the chips after the war in the future.

Seeing Sun Ce's face blue for a while, Zhang Hong coughed and said: "Ahem, the envoy may not know the situation in my Jiangdong, the land of my Jiangdong is full of talents, and the civil and military gatherings are like dots, no matter who dares to offend my Jiangdong will be ruthlessly attacked."

Jingzhou is an example, Huang Zu is known as the Jingxiang tiger wolf, but he was defeated by our army in World War I and killed in World War II.

My lord and the Marquis of Weihai are close to the friendly countries, and it is advisable to kill the Yellow Turban and crusade against Dong Zhuo's alliance, and the relationship between the two families of Xu and Sun is irreversible, and it is impossible to attack each other. ”

Listen, it's not that my Sun family can't beat Xu Ding, it's that I don't want to fight Xu Ding.

We have a good relationship and want to develop in harmony, and there are many talented people in our Jiangdong land, which is no worse than Xu Ding's civil and military affairs.

Sun Ce cast an approving look at Zhang Hong, then leaned back in his chair and continued to stare at Karasuma with a proud expression.

He wanted to see what else this guy could say.

Dare to be so arrogant and rude, I am so afraid of the fourth world and the third duke!
