After arranging the military affairs of the six northwestern states, Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "The six northwestern states have been arranged in this way, so I should personally conquer Nanzhong and Yizhou in Jiaozhou!" ”

Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered dozens of generals, including Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Xu, Yan Rui, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Wen Chou, Pang De, Wei Chi Zhan, He Ting, Su Fei and Huang Fu Li, to accompany him.

And Xun You and Xi Zhong are the staff officers of the army, and Zhong Miao leads more than a dozen civil servants as the front officials of the tent to be able to govern the area at any time!

Time is passing little by little, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer! Since they are going to fight in Nanzhong in the coming year, Xi Zhong, Zhong Xuan and others need to return to Jiaozhou and Yizhou to prepare!

This time, there were more than a dozen officials selected by Liu Bei, as well as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning and other generals, but they had to go to Jiaozhou to take over the training army first!

Previously, due to the chaos of the princes in the world, although Liu Bei had the intention to let Xi Zhong and them secretly send them to Chang'an to discuss military and political affairs, he was afraid of the comfort on the road and let the entire Jiaozhou and Yizhou be in a state of autonomy!

However, now, Liu Bei went south to Nanyang, and then he could take a boat from the tributaries of the Yangtze River in Nanyang to the south, and then turn to the Yangtze River, all the way to the sea, and then transfer to Ganning's large warship, and it would take almost a month and a half to reach Zhuya Prefecture and Yizhou in Jiaozhou!

However, because the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are not under Liu Bei's control, but under the control of Liu Biao and now Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's warships still can't move, and all the comings and goings can only be in the name of caravans, so they can't transport military supplies such as war horses!

Just when Liu Bei was actively preparing to fight outside the Jiaozhou team in the coming year, Yuan Shao welcomed an unusual guest in the state pastor's mansion in Ye County!

This person is Bing Yuan, who was sent by Gongsun Zhan to envoy Yuan Shao and Liu Bei!

"Genju, what are you doing here this time?" This time, Yuan Shao was not all his own people, but brought Guo Tu, Fu Zhu and other civil servants and strategists to receive Bing Yuan, and after seeing Bing Yuan, Fu Zhu took the lead in saying!

"Yuan Zhoumu, a few years ago, Yuan Zhoumu and my lord had a grudge against my brother, and because of this time, my lord and Lord Zhoumu fought viciously several times! Yes, today I Bingyuan came here for this matter! After the frustration was finished, Bing Yuan replied!

"There is nothing to discuss in this matter, I know that Gongsun Bogui has won Youzhou, and his strength is strong, but my Yuan Shao is not a mediocre person, if Gongsun Bogui wants to avenge the killing of his father, just lead troops to fight, I will all follow!" Without waiting for the other strategists to speak, Yuan Shao replied angrily!

"Why should Yuan Zhoumu be in a hurry, if my lord wants to lead the iron hoof to attack the Zhou Mu to avenge the killing of his brother, he would have already brought troops here, so why should he send an envoy to Jizhou to inform Yuan Zhoumu?

I came this time, mainly not for this matter, but because after the battle of Cao Mengde Luoyang in Yanzhou, the Son of Heaven was captured in Xuchang, and although Liu Duhu of the Western Regions led the troops to rescue, he returned in vain.

If today's son is in trouble, we, as courtiers, naturally have to lead the troops to rescue and solve the danger of the Son of Heaven. However, my lord Youzhou is not connected to Yanzhou, so the matter of rescuing the Son of Heaven in the future fell on Yuan Zhoumu and Liu Duhu.

However, my lord is well aware of the righteousness of the country, and he is willing to temporarily put aside the revenge of killing his brother, and wants to form an alliance with Yuan Zhoumu, and then discuss the revenge of killing his brother after Cao Cao, the thief of the country, and rescue the Son of Heaven.

In the same way, if Yuan Zhou is willing to compensate my lord's brother's family with some money, grain and grass, my lord may not be able to mediate in this matter! Bing Yuan slowly said his intention!

"Oh, the meaning of the root is to come to Jizhou to shake hands with my lord and make peace, and not to use swords and soldiers for the time being?" Frustrated Professor said with some surprise!

Previously, after Yuan Shao led the army back to Yexian, he discussed with a group of civil and military personnel the suitability of Jizhou's strategy for the coming year, and the main direction was to prevent Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and attack Qingzhou in the south.

If you can win the land of Qingzhou in one battle, then Yuan Shao has become a great trend, and then only Gongsun Zan in the north and Cao Cao in the south, although he is attacked on both sides, but the national strength is strong, and he has no power to fight!

Therefore, during this time, Yuan Shao was dispatching troops to the north to guard against Gongsun Zhan! It's just that now Bing Yuan has come, but he proposed to shake hands with Yuan Shao and make peace and form an alliance to attack Cao Cao, which makes a group of civil and military generals like monks who are two zhang confused!

Looking at everyone's expressions, Bing Yuan smiled slightly, and then said: "Yuan Zhou Mu has won the land of two states, and his ministers are like clouds and generals are like rain. Naturally, it will not be impossible to distinguish the righteousness of the family and the country.

Presumably, it will not be ignored by the Son of Heaven, although Yuan Zhoumu wanted to make Liu Yu the emperor before, it was because Dong Zhuo was cruel, and the Zhou Mu did not know whether the Son of Heaven was still alive. Now that it is certain that the Son of Heaven is still there, why not save the Son of Heaven by taking troops? Bing Yuan said!

"I have already understood the meaning of Gongsun Bogui, and we are waiting for us to discuss and reply, so you can go to rest first, and we will discuss this matter in the future!" Yuan Shao did not discuss the matter in the end, but ordered someone to lead Bing Yuan to the post house to rest.

After Bing Yuan left, Yuan Shao looked at the surrounding civil and military forces, and then said, "Everyone, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Lord, Bing Yuan came here to negotiate peace, and the matter of not attacking each other may not be credible, maybe there is a big problem in Youzhou, so Gongsun Zan sent Bing Yuan to stabilize the lord, and not let the lord send troops to attack Youzhou!

Or maybe Gongsun Chan wanted to attack Jizhou, and he was afraid that the lord would have a heavy army to guard against it, so under the pretense of forming an alliance, he lured the lord to send troops to the north, and then Gongsun Chan sent troops south in one fell swoop! Guo Tu said!

"It's indeed possible, but if you can really get the best with Gongsun Chan and hold Gongsun Chan's way south, it's also a good thing for the lord.

The lord can take advantage of this to concentrate superior forces to fight south for Qingzhou or fight with Cao Cao, Cao Cao is a traitorous male, if the lord and Gongsun Zan attack on the great strength, he will be difficult to fight with him!

But at this time, if the lord fights Cao Cao with the land of two states, or even the land of three states, Cao Cao is bound to be defeated, so that the lord can get the land of four states or even five states, so that half of the world will fall into the hands of the lord, and the lord also has the strength to fight with Liu Bei! Frustrated speaks!

"It's just that if I can't know why Gongsun Chan is like this, I will definitely not believe it, and the armies used by Jizhou and Bingzhou to guard against Gongsun Chan will naturally not be too small!" Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said!

"This matter is expected to be told by Bing Yuan, but it is not impossible to solve it, the lord can negotiate with Gongsun Zhan about the number of troops, and then the lord can send elite scouts to lurk in Youzhou, if Gongsun Chan rashly increases his troops, then the lord can know in advance and take precautions!

If Gongsun Chan can really get along with the lord and have nothing to do, what if he sends some grain and grass to Gongsun Chan! After all, Jizhou has plenty of grain and grass, while Youzhou is barren! Guo Tu didn't want to fall behind when he heard the words of the frustrated teacher, and then spoke!

"In that case, I will summon Bingyuan tomorrow and agree with him on the number of troops on both sides and all other circumstances!" Yuan Shao said!

On the second day, Bing Yuan, Yuan Shao and a group of strategists made corresponding regulations on the alliance of You, Hebei, and the three states, and the defense suitability!

The general content is as follows:

First, from now on, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao will temporarily put aside their personal grievances, do not attack each other, and will fight each other after Cao Cao rescues the Son of Heaven;

Second, Yuan Shao must not have more than 50,000 troops at the junction of Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, and the same is true for Gongsun Zhan.

Third, if Gongsun Chan can really maintain an alliance with Yuan Shao without a fight, Yuan Shao is willing to kill Gongsun Yue and provide Gongsun Chan with 30,000 stones of grain and grass every year!

After getting a clear alliance result, Bing Yuan set off and left Jizhou, and then sent people back to Youzhou to inform Yuan Shao of the matter, while he himself led the delegation through Jizhou to join the state and go south to Chang'an!
