With Zhang Jaw's merits and qualifications, if Liu Lan really called the emperor, then he could at least be named one of the four towns, and even had many opportunities to enter the four expeditions, as for the generals, hussars, and chariot riders, it was impossible for him to get his turn anyway, he knew it in his heart.

At the night celebration banquet, the Xuzhou army, which had been fighting for more than a month, completely relaxed overnight, and it was not until after noon the next day that the troops began to assemble and embarked on the road to Shouchun.

They and Yuan Shu's battle has gone through a long time, three large-scale battles of Xuzhou and a battle of Jiujiang, four battles, this time they are finally going to completely eliminate Yuan Shu, in fact, whether it is Zhang Fei or Lu Su who arrived in Shouchun, but at that time their appearance was more of an effect of encircling Wei to save Zhao, but this time they came to defend the city, but they did not shoulder other tasks, this time there is only one purpose, that is, to take Shou Chunsheng and capture Yuan Shu.

For Zhang Jaw, Shouchun's memory is not too profound, but it is different for Zhang Liao, their defeat in Xuzhou is precisely because the Shouchun army returned to Shouchun from Xuzhou, so that Liu Lan's main force can return, so that they are about to take Xuzhou The moment they failed, and finally he became a general in Xuzhou.

If in terms of the final result, he has to thank Yuan Shu, but at that time, he hated Yuan Shu to death, and was speechless for his stupidity, although he didn't know whether Zhang Fei or Lu Su was the main general, but he knew that if Shou Chunjun could stay for one more day, maybe the pattern of the world would change dramatically.

Of course, these assumptions are meaningless, now Zhang Liao is more concerned about how to win Shouchun, and in Guangling, Wang Xiu left Guangling for Yecheng, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Yecheng was to visit Xu You, as Yuan Shao's small and wise mind, although Xu You was far less valued than Guo Tu and other schemers, but his weight and status were not ordinary, and sometimes Yuan Shao might hesitate to suggest other people's suggestions, but his proposal would hardly even be considered.

In Yecheng, Xu Yu is the only one who has some friendship with Xuzhou and Liu Lan, and Wang Xiu's situation is similar, after all, this era is different from another time and space, another time and space because he served in the period of Yuan Tan Qingzhou's assassination history, Wang Xiu finally mixed up in Yecheng, but in this era, he has no acquaintances in Yecheng, let alone anyone who can help him, and these are what Liu Lan does not know.

But this did not prevent Wang Xiu's activities in Yecheng, he was able to speak eloquently and wandered around the mansions in Yecheng, trying his best to persuade the high-ranking officials, and his visit with a lot of money was the same as Liu Lan said, and he did not eat the closed door, but was warmly entertained by Yecheng.

Although some of the inside stories inside Yecheng are strictly confidential, since Yuan Shao has discussed it with the five major conspirators, although it is extremely confidential, it seems that people like Xu You still smell a little different, in this case, Wang Xiu's coming to Xu You is naturally not refused.

Xu You is not familiar with Wang Xiu, but he knows Liu Lan and the current Moling situation very well, whether it is the Battle of Jizhou or the later Battle of Qingzhou, Liu Lan sold him face, let him show his face in front of Yuan Shao, although it is not very glorious, but the situation at that time could not be done without him No one can make an armistice agreement, which is already enough to give him face, not to mention that for a person like Xu Yu who is greedy for money, not only has the key to friendship Wang Xiu also sent enough gold, silver and jewelry, his eyes are straight, and the stranger is recommended on his behalf, It was to ask him to directly propose to Yuan Shao to attack Xudu instead of Guangling, and he dared.

Money can make ghosts grind, Xu You is this kind of person, in his eyes, career is very important, but if Yuan Shao is not valued, then he can only consider money, not in the end, people and money are empty, so why did he follow Yuan Shao all these years?

Xu You introduced Wang Xiu to Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao's meeting with Wang Xiu did not alarm anyone, it was completely accompanied by Xu You, although he patiently listened to Wang Xiu's intentions, but he did not say a word from beginning to end, let alone any guarantees.

When Wang Xiu came, he was very excited by Liu Lan with Zheng Guoqu's example, but everything changed after seeing Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao didn't say anything, just asked Xu Yu to entertain himself when he left, but with his attitude, Wang Xiu felt that this trip not only did not work, but also broke things.

The so-called things must be opposed, if they don't come, maybe Yuan Shao will hesitate to fight Guangling, after all, he can't eat Liu Lan's confidence, but Liu Lan sent people to make peace, which is not equivalent to saying that they are afraid, since they are showing weakness, Yuan Shao may not only not send troops to Xudu next, but will also hurry up to attack Guangling.

After Wang Xiu left, Yuan Shao directly ordered Xu You to go to Xuzhou with his own message, and there was only one content, so that Wen Chou immediately gathered troops in Gaoyou and prepared to send troops to Guangling.

Gaoyou is a county in Guangling, but now it is under the control of Cao Cao, and the Jizhou army is assembled in Gaoyou, everyone knows what Jizhou is going to do next, although Xu You has a short manpower, but Yuan Shao told him such an order, which is difficult for him.

Should he say it or not, if he said it, he told Wang Xiu, let Gao Ran and Liu Lan be prepared, and when the time comes, he will definitely die if he leaks the news, but if he doesn't disclose it, it will be too unkind, although he is greedy for money, but he also pays attention to a good way and grasps the most basic bottom line, just like if he didn't help Wang Xiu see Yuan Shao in this matter now, he would return the money anyway, and it was his most basic principle to be unsuccessful.

But now that Yuan Shao revealed such an important thing to him, he was afraid, if this was a set, then he would die without a place to be buried, but after he went back, the more he pondered about this matter, the more strange it became, this set seemed to be completely meaningless, when the Wen Chou army was stationed in Gaoyou, it was not discovered, how could the lord know whether he revealed it himself or Guangling himself found out?

The moment he thought of this, he sat up suddenly, and he immediately understood what the lord meant, and laughed loudly, saying that this was a wealth given to him by the lord.

He said that he told Wang Xiu about the letter here, and told him that he would return the next day, and Wang Xiu also knew that there was no point in continuing to stay, not to mention that he saw Yuan Shao and said everything he should say, but in the end there was no change, but Yuan Shao stepped up the time to send troops, and this matter must be passed on to Liu Lan as soon as possible.

In this way, both of them hurriedly left Yecheng, and before Wang Xiu went on the road, he quickly passed back the news that the Jizhou army sent troops to Gaoyou to Guangling at any time, and when Wang Xiu returned from Yecheng to Xuzhou and arrived in Langya County, Liu Lan had already seen the document he sent back in Guangling.

This Yuan Shao, this is afraid that people all over the world don't know that he is going to fight Guangling, this time it can be said that everyone knows it, he immediately summoned Xu Shu and Guan Yu, handed over the documents to the two, and let them watch.

Xu Shu twisted his goatee and fell into thought, while Guan Yu stroked his beard and closed his eyes, muttering to himself: "Fiction and reality, reality and fiction, no matter how the lord Yuan Shao looks at it, it doesn't look like he is coming to fight Guangling." ”

"Although General Guan said it well, he thought that Yuan Shao was going to make a storm in the city, just to make us unclear about his real intentions, and now it is really impossible to judge what Yuan Shao's intentions are and where he plans to attack."

"Although what Xu Junshi said is also reasonable, but the last general agrees with General Guan's speculation, Yuan Shao is so blatant, completely abnormal, where is he planning to attack Guangling, it is clearly to confuse Cao Cao, what he said The last general feels that Yuan Shao's intention to confuse us is completely unsuccessful, but it is Cao Cao, and it is very likely to be calculated by Yuan Shao."

Xu Shu opened his mouth, and finally could only nod and agree: "What the two generals said is true, if Yuan Shao is really confusing one side, then Gao You, who is stationed between us and Cao Cao, can confuse Cao Cao and let him relax his vigilance, but have you ever thought about it, if Yuan Shao is going to attack Guangling, and he is also informing the whole world that he is going to attack Guangling?" ”

"But what's the point of him doing that?" Liu Lan always believed that the more fierce Yuan Shao's slogan was shouted, the more impossible it would be to attack Guangling, but now that Xu Shu was still insisting, he was a little suspicious and asked.

"Coerce Cao Cao." Xu Shu said: "He is forcing Cao Cao to make a choice, now Yuan Shao with his strength, it is extremely difficult to attack us and Cao Cao at the same time, but if you can divide and attack, then Yuan Shao will seize the principle of no one to stop, but what Yuan Shao is most afraid of now is undoubtedly when we abandon the previous suspicion this time and jointly send troops to Shouchun, which is bound to make Yuan Shao afraid and worried, so he can only use this way to coerce Cao Cao and let him send troops with him, and Cao Cao only needs to send troops, then Yuan Shao's treacherous plan will succeed, Killing two birds with one stone, when we are defeated, Yuan Shao may not hesitate to attack Cao Cao.

"It's a possibility." Liu Lan nodded and agreed to this possibility, but at the same time expressed support for Guan Yu's speculation, after all, Yuan Shao's performance now seems to be confusing them, for Liu, Guan, and Zhao, who have been fighting for many years and are familiar with many well-known battles in the pre-Qin period, Yuan Shaosheng is the most likely to attack the west.

Liu Lan's words made the three of them calm down, and they didn't stick to the original idea, after all, Yuan Shao's true intentions are difficult to judge, but one thing is just like Xu Shu said, now it's just a guess, or because of Xu Shu's reminder, he suddenly found that Yuan Shao used the routine he used on him, and in turn used it on himself, Liu Lan suddenly thought of this, and scolded: "Yuan Shao, this is the problem of kicking me to him, and it is neatly placed in front of me." ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and they all smiled bitterly, but didn't they, what Wang Xiu said when he went to see Yuan Shao, didn't he tell Yuan Shao very bluntly, there is no point in fighting Guangling, after beating Cao Cao and taking the Central Plains, the whole world will be yours.

In such a situation, knowing that Liu Lan was dragging out time, but he had to make a choice, just like Liu Lan now, any choice would make him distressed, but Yuan Shao did not consider Wang Xiu's suggestion, or he made a choice, and even made a choice early in the morning, but at this time, he still sent the same problem to Liu Lan, you let me make a painful choice, then I will also gather the troops in Gaoyou, whether to fight Guangling or not, you guess for yourself.

It's just that unlike Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao can choose by being more favorable to him, whether to hit the Central Plains or Xuzhou, but Liu Lan can't guess, the initiative is not in his hands, no matter how he guesses, it is dangerous for him, he originally wanted to hit the bird, but in the end he was pecked by the bird.

At this moment, Liu Lan was a little crying and laughing, is this still the Yuan Shao he is familiar with, of course it is still him, but this opponent is no longer what it was a few years ago, it seems to be more difficult and more difficult to deal with, and if you don't see it for three days, maybe this is just the beginning.

To Yuan Shao, as Xu Shu said, Yuan Shao was afraid that he and Cao Cao would continue to be in alliance, so it would be easier for him to find a breakthrough from whose body, the answer was very simple, it must have been Cao Cao who had cooperated for many years, as long as he decreed, the previous Cao Cao categorically did not dare to refuse, so what now?

It's hard to say, otherwise Yuan Shao wouldn't use such a way, just now he was convinced that Yuan Shao was preparing for an attack on Cao Cao, and everything was to confuse Cao Cao, but when Xu Shu's analysis, he suddenly reacted, Yuan Shao was watching Cao Cao's reaction.

is forcing him to make a choice, if he sends troops, then when he takes Guangling, Yuan Shao will inevitably turn around and clean up Cao Cao, in other words, if Cao Cao refuses to send troops and is ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Yuan Shao will inevitably attack him suddenly and kill him by surprise.

Yuan Shao is no longer the gentleman who didn't know anything about military affairs back then, Yuan Shao, who was despised by Dong Zhuo, has really grown up in so many years of fighting, this is obvious, of course, you can't ignore those masterminds under his account, Liu Lan has always been sorry for him in later generations, Yuan Shao is completely holding a good hand of two kings and four twos and finally lost, otherwise, where can there be anything to Cao Cao, as for the three kingdoms in the future.

But this time, Yuan Shao has changed significantly from a sentence in history, but where he will go, in fact, it is still difficult to judge, whether it is a contest with himself or a duel with Cao Cao, whether Yuan Shao can go further, it is difficult to say, but if Liu Lan is still taking Yuan Shao in another time and space as a reference, then he will die very miserably, fortunately, Liu Lan does not dare to be careless now, and it is too late to walk on thin ice.
