The snow melts, and spring blossoms.

In the middle of the first half of the fourth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Yin, who had spent the New Year's Day in Jinyang, also got up and left Jinyang. This son of the Yuan family, who came from the fourth generation and the third duke, is still quite reluctant, probably because of the customs of Jinyang, which makes him extremely nostalgic. It may also be that his relationship with Lu Bu made him quite reluctant. In short, when Yuan Yin left, his face was still quite sad.

"If Zhong Cheng has time, he can come to my Jinyang to play more......"

Lu Bu said with a smile.

“…… ...... by all means."

Yuan Yin replied, "...... The treatment of the prince is very generous, Yin remembers in his heart, when the prince comes to Huainan, Yin will also do his best to the friendship of the landlord......"

"Hahaha! Then I'm looking forward to this day. ”

Lu Bu said.

Yuan Yin said goodbye.

In the past few months, Yuan Yin has felt a lot in Jinyang. He also has a deep friendship with Lu Bu, and in the past few months, the two have talked very happily, and they can't wait to see each other as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Yuan Yin will not return, but he is afraid that Yuan Shu will come in person and invite him to return.

In the past few months, Yuan Shu, who had retreated to Yinling, led his army to defeat Chen Yu, who was stationed in Shouchun. Yuan Shu, who was defeated in the first battle of Kuangting, finally let out a bad breath! I think that at the beginning, Kuang Ting was defeated by Cao Cao in a battle and wanted to return to Shouchun, but he was rejected by Chen Yu, the assassin of Yangzhou who he picked up. This made him furious! This Shouchun is not as good as Yanzhou! Kuangting's defeat in the first battle was at most to make Yuan Shu give up his intention of attacking north, but Shouchun was his Yuan Shu's base camp! If Chen Yu is allowed to occupy it, can he still mix it up?

Quickly gathered the army, Yuan Shu insisted on going out to defeat Chen Yu in the cold winter. Ignoring Chen Yu's request for peace, he captured Shouchun and let Chen Yu flee back to Xiapi in defeat.

Xiapi is the territory of Xuzhou.

Chen Yu's betrayal made Yuan Shu hate it to the extreme, even if Chen Yu retreated, Yuan Shu still didn't want to let go. But Xuzhou is still Tao Qian's territory at this time, and the two are allies. Yuan Shu then asked Tao Qian to capture and kill Chen Yu, but Tao Qian did refuse. This incident made Yuan Shu quite displeased! After all, Tao Qian, as an ally, should help him Yuan Shu, how could he help the thief who betrayed him? For this reason, Yuan Shu asked his subordinates, some said that they wanted to fight, and some said that they could not fight. So Yuan Shu wanted to quickly recall Yuan Yin and wanted to discuss a plan with him.

When Lu Bu learned the news, he could only smile bitterly! Not long ago, they also had four alliances, and they swore that they would fight Yuan Cao together! In the blink of an eye, there was infighting, and this alliance was indeed extremely fragile.

Not to mention Yuan Shu's defeat of Chen Yu, after the Zhengdan, Lu Bu also began to dispatch troops. After the cold winter, the ice and snow melt, and the spring flowers bloom, it is also the best time to fight. Preparing for war, Lu Bu wanted to pacify the most powerful enemy in his state. The Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu, Su You.

A few months ago, Su You defeated the right sage king Mantuo, and even wanted to send an envoy to pay tribute to the court, and wanted to succeed Shan Yu. It's a pity that Yu Fuluo intercepted and killed the envoys halfway, and also brought the heads of these envoys to Jinyang. At the beginning of spring, not only Mantuo, but also Yu Fuluo and others desperately hoped that Lu Bu would go out to destroy Xu You as soon as possible.

During this period of time, the news from the scouts from the northern land made Lu Bu also know, and Su You was probably also on guard. Xihe County also repeatedly appeared Hun cavalry, and I am afraid that it was also to explore the Han army. In addition, Guo Tao, the Taishou of Yanmen County, also wrote many letters, saying that there were also a lot of Hun cavalry in Yanmen, and it seemed that they also had the intention of attacking. This made Lu Bu extremely vigilant! Yanmen was just recovered by the Han army, if those Huns raided Yanmen, I am afraid that Yanmen will change.

The war has not yet come, but the storm is coming.

In the office, Lu Bu and everyone were discussing important matters.

“…… What I have just mentioned is the information from the Scouts from the Northlands...... What do you think? ”

Lu Bu glanced at everyone with a majestic face.

On the minister's side, Li Ru stroked his short beard, Jia Xu remained silent, Guo Jia smiled and did not speak, and Xu Shu frowned slightly.

On the military general's side, Zhang Liao sat on the seat, his face majestic. Gao Shun straightened up and didn't say a word. Xu Huang rubbed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and Xu Rong's eyes showed a trace of essence, as if he had realized. Others, such as Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and others, are not at ease. wanted to shout "battle" in a thick voice, but looking at the atmosphere in the entire hall, he was also suffocated.

"Why, you don't have anything to say?"

Lu Bu asked again.

Li Ru was the first to speak, "Looking at the situation, even if our army does not attack Su You at the beginning of spring, Su You will rob my border." Last winter, Suyou's defeat to Mantuo made it a big hit. If it weren't for the cold winter, it would be difficult to mobilize troops, I'm afraid that Mantuo would have been destroyed by you. Therefore, now the meaning of you is to destroy Mantuo first, and then to plunder Yanmen, and unify all the Xiongnu tribes, so that you are not afraid of me and the state......"

"I thought you should be looking at the West River, not the Yanmen!"

Following Li Ru, Guo Jia also spoke, "Yanmen County, the Wuhuan tribe is more powerful!" The lord killed Pufulu to deter these Wuhuan leaders. Xu You is the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and if you want to occupy Yanmen, the Wuhuan tribe of Yanmen will definitely not allow it...... The grievances of these hus are not small...... This is also why for so many years, the Xiongnu clan has been able to occupy Shuofang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Xihe, Dingxiang and other places, but they have never invaded Yanmen...... Now that Yanmen has our Han army, and there are also these large and small Wuhuan tribes, even if you go out to the army, you can only plunder, but not occupy ......"

"However, Xihe is different!"

As soon as the momentum changed, Guo Jia's voice became a little excited, "If you take down the West River, you will cut off the connection between our army and Shangjun, and Shangjun will not be protected...... In Shangjun, Xihe and other places, there are also more Huns...... In the past, the Southern Xiongnu moved inward, and most of the ethnic groups were distributed in these places...... If you take the West River, you will have to go to the county. If you can go to the county, you can go south to plunder Sanfu, and the west is connected to Qiangrong...... Condescendingly, the entire subordinate is under his horse's hooves......"

Lu Bu's face instantly became gloomy, he could imagine how much turmoil the Central Plains would fall into if this was the case, "Feng Xiao thinks that the frequent appearance of the Huns in this Yanmen is just to make us turn our attention to Yanmen, and their real motive is in Xihe?" ”

"Exactly!"

Guo Jia replied, "I know that Yanmen was reclaimed by the army led by the lord and after hardships. But in fact, Yanmen is far less important to us than Xihe...... Even if you plunder Yanmen, you won't gain much, but the West River is different...... The West River is close to my Jinyang, and it is the road connecting my Jinyang and Shangjun...... If the West River is lost, the upper county will not be protected...... Therefore, this time, our army can go out of the West River, directly take the Xiongnu Wang Ting Meiji, and send a partial division out of Yanmen...... The two armies marched together...... Break the ...... of you"
