In May, Jixian County, Youzhou.

"My lord, during this time, my subordinates found that someone seemed to be inquiring about Liu Youzhou's news." Guan Jing said cautiously, because he knew very well how bad Gongsun Zhan was during this period of time because of Yuan Shao's Jizhou Mu being officially recognized by the imperial court.

Yes, his grandson Chan has a violent personality, and many times he does things regardless of the front and back, but! That doesn't mean he's stupid. If you continue to attack Jizhou at this time, you will only put yourself on the road to defeat. It's just that if the reason for sending troops is so good, Li Yi's side won't have such a headache.

"What?!" When Gongsun Chan heard this, his face suddenly darkened, "Really?!" ”

"How dare your subordinates deceive your lord?" Guan Jing said, and talked about the information he had collected in the past few days.

Listening to Guan Jing's words, Gongsun Zhan's face became more and more gloomy, and by the time Guan Jing finished speaking, his face had become extremely hideous, "Yuan Shao! Very good! Very good! ”

There is almost no need to guess, Gongsun Chan also knows who did this, after all, who else but Yuan Shao would be interested here?

"Lord, what should I do now?" Guan Jing asked cautiously. Although he is not a drunken and rice bag man, but compared with giving advice, flattery is his strength, for the current kind of thing, although he has the heart to share the worries of Gongsun Zhan, but after all, he is powerless.

"Hmm......" Gongsun Chan groaned when he heard this, he knew that he must not be impatient in this matter, although he was already furious at this time. In fact, at this time, an idea had already popped up in his heart, but the idea was very simple to implement, but it was not so easy to achieve Gongsun Zhan's goal, not to mention the possible consequences of this idea, Rao is Gongsun Chan couldn't help but be a little frightened.

"Pass my orders, strictly guard Liu Yu and his subordinates, and no one is allowed to approach their residences without my orders! In addition, if any suspicious person is found, arrest and interrogate them immediately! After half a ring, Gongsun Chan commanded with a gloomy expression.

On the other side, for the olive branch that Yuan Shu took the initiative to throw, Tao Qian did not hesitate for too long before nodding in agreement. In fact, the reason why he chose to be an enemy of Yuan Shu before was because Yuan Shu was too aggressive, which made him have to worry about his own safety.

But even so, because he was worried about Yuan Shu's retaliation, he was only a gesture at the border of Chen Bing before, and he had no intention of going to war at all. On the other hand, Tao Qian did need a strong foreign aid to consolidate his rule. After all, for the local families and wealthy families in Xuzhou, he Tao Qian is just an outsider, although he has established martial arts through the crusade against the Yellow Turban, but he can only stand firm. If he wants to completely rule Xuzhou, Tao Qian still has a long way to go.

And over there, after Yuan Shu concluded the alliance, Xun Di immediately put forward a suggestion that made Yuan Shu quite moved. "Now Tao Qian in the east has been co-opted by the lord, and Yanzhou in the north is still in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it is difficult to interfere. In this case, what if the lord sent troops to Lujiang and Jiujiang counties? If these two counties can be occupied, it will be equivalent to occupying the north of the Yangtze River. In this way, it will not be so easy for Liu Miao to be the enemy of the lord again. Moreover, it occupies the Lujiang River, and the lord can also directly enter Jiangxia County along the Yangtze River......"

As soon as he spoke, he was echoed by Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, "Although Liu Miao controlled Yangzhou with the appointment of the imperial court, most of the local forces in Yangzhou were just grass on the wall, and if they heard that the lord led the army to come, they would definitely surrender one after another......

When mentioning the local forces in Yangzhou, Yang Hong and Yan Xiang's tone was quite contemptuous, and they didn't seem to think too much about those local forces in Yangzhou. Actually, though...... Well, well, they just look down on it.

Yangzhou is very large in terms of land area, even much larger than Yuzhou, but in terms of population, Yangzhou has a population of only more than 4 million, compared with the population of nearly 8 million in Yuzhou, it is much more chilling. But in fact, the population of Yangzhou at this time was already at a very high level, because at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of Yangzhou was quite small, just like Jingzhou and Yizhou, which were all sparsely populated places.

It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty began to implement the policy of barbarian annexation that a large number of ethnic minorities in the south were registered in the Han Dynasty, and then a large number of people were added. Of course, although this has increased a large number of people, it has also caused many problems, just like the Xiongnu people who originally merged the state, two different nationalities and different cultures, although there will be blending, but more of them are still conflicts.

And because of this, there is actually no real family or powerful family in Yangzhou, except for the Zhou family of Shu County, which once had three dukes, perhaps only the Lu family of Wu County can mention it. Oh, and the Sun family of Wu County. But now, except for the Lu family, the other two have taken refuge in Yuan Shu......

Yuan Shu didn't hesitate for too long, after all, the current situation in Yanzhou is indeed a bit difficult to interfere with. So soon, Yuan Shu ordered all localities to start assembling troops, and at the same time ordered Zhou Shang to help win over the local forces in Lujiang County and prepare to attack Yangzhou in the south.

At the same time, he sent someone to send an order to Sun Jian, who was stationed in Nanyang, to gather troops and prepare to attack Nanjun again. Speaking of which, since learning that Dong Zhuo was dead, Sun Jian proposed several times to wave his army to attack Nanjun, but he was suppressed by Yuan Shu. Now, it's time to unleash the suffocated tiger.

In a flash, the time came to June.

"According to the information we have gathered, there were many doctors and civilians who were killed in the rebellion, and many houses were burned down...... However, except for the emperor, the other doctors who were killed were not people in important positions, but it is also possible that Namateng was trying to confuse the public...... The reason why they didn't find out before, but it was because the soldiers of the shadow department rushed back to report after they found out that Huangfu Gong was killed, so they didn't do much to investigate. Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"In addition, Li Su was indeed killed by a stray arrow when he was ambushed, but it is also possible that there were Ma Teng's people in Dong Zhuo's troops in ambush." Guo Jia continued to analyze the information he had discovered.

It's just that until Guo Jia finished talking about all the news he had found, Li Yi still didn't get the result he wanted. "Is there really no evidence to prove that Yizhen Gong was killed by Na Ma Teng?" Li Yi muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Xun Yu and Guo Jia shook their heads helplessly, although they also worked hard to find evidence, but unfortunately they really found nothing.
