"In the past, Dong thieves caused chaos in the dynasty, regardless of the opposition of hundreds of officials to abolish the emperor, which aroused the indignation of the heroes of the world, so Meng De called on the world to fight Dong, and won the response of everyone, which is the trend of righteousness! But this time Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, obviously just for his own selfish desires, and wanted to be the second Dong Zhuo, if he sent troops to help him, wouldn't it be to help him abuse?! ”

"That Gongsun Zan raised an army to attack Yuan Shao, it is said that it was only because Yuan Shao agreed with him to divide Jizhou equally at the beginning, but Yuan Shao did not fulfill it after getting Jizhou. And when Yuan Shu was crusading against Dong Zhuo in the past, he took the opportunity to seize Jingzhou and Yuzhou. How can such a person with obvious ambition go along with it? Therefore, I believe that it is better to wait and see what happens. ”

This is a letter sent by Bao Xin to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao nodded again and again, and sent someone to reply to Bao Xin, telling him to be on guard, so as not to be taken advantage of.

Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin chose to remain neutral, while Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Yuan Xu of Jiyin County, Yuan Yi of Shanyang County, and Wang Kuang of Taishan County chose to remain dependent on Yuan Shao, and only the county guards of Renchengguo and Dongping chose to rely on Yuan Shu.

This made Yuan Shu naturally extremely angry, and immediately gathered troops to prepare to send troops to Yanzhou, and executed all those who dared to disobey him.

And Yuan Shu's movements on this side naturally can't be hidden from Yuan Shao.

"Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu! As a disciple of the Yuan family, you are against me everywhere, how will you face the ancestors of the Yuan family in the future?! Yuan Shao roared angrily.

However, although angry at Yuan Shu's behavior, Yuan Shao also reacted immediately, and immediately sent people to Jingzhou and Xuzhou to try to win over Tao Qian and Liu Biao to help contain Yuan Shu. He was confident that the two would agree.

At the same time, Wei County, Jizhou.

"How...... How so?! Xun Yu and Xun Yan were stunned when they heard the news from Jizhou.

But immediately, Xun Yan reacted, looked at Xun Yu and said in a deep voice, "Wen Ruo, this is a great opportunity for us, as long as we can help Yuan Cheqi repel Gongsun Zan and others, we will definitely be able to get Yuan Cheqi's reuse!" ”

Hearing this, Xun Yu didn't speak, just lowered his head and pondered.

Seeing this, how could Xun Yan not know what Xun Yu was thinking? Hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade, "Wen Ruo, you also know that if the situation is today, the county guards in various places don't want to crusade against Dong Zhuo at all, in this case, if you want to support the Han family, you can only strengthen yourself." Yuan Cheqi was the first to see this clearly, and he was also the first to act, and this alone is worthy of our service! ”

Hearing Xun Yan's words, Xun Yu shook his head and said lightly, "Hugh Ruo doesn't need to persuade me anymore, since I have come here, I will definitely see that Yuan Cheqi first, whether it is the master of the Ming Dynasty or not, I will judge for myself." ”

Hearing this, Xun Yan didn't say much, he also knew Xun Yu's character, in fact, the children of their Xun family basically had this kind of character. Otherwise, the clan association at that time would have gone to Jizhou together.

Soon, they arrived in Ye County, and after reporting their names, they were immediately sent by Chun Yuqiong to send Xun Yu and Xun Yan to Dongpingshu. As for their clansmen, they have Chun Yuqiong to help settle them.

In early May, Chang'an.

"What?! There is such a thing?! When Li Ru told Dong Zhuo about the situation in Jizhou, Dong Zhuo was stunned.

Speaking of which, after Jizhou was captured by Yuan Shao, someone had already reported it to Dong Zhuo, but because of the reason that the whip was out of reach, Dong Zhuo directly acquiesced in this matter. After all, now the Kanto gang doesn't listen to his orders, and he doesn't bother to do useless work.

But now, only a month has passed, and things have changed so much, how can Dong Zhuo not be shocked? But after being shocked, he laughed maniacally, "Hahahaha! Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu! In the past, you sent troops to crusade against me as the leader of the coalition alliance, but you didn't expect that now you will also be attacked by others forming a coalition army, right?! ”

Dong Zhuo kept laughing, and the fat on his body kept shaking, I have to say that since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he has gained a lot of weight......

After a long while, when Dong Zhuo stopped laughing, Li Ru said respectfully, "Lord, my subordinates think that this matter is a good opportunity for Lord!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Dong Zhuo asked curiously when he heard this.

"For example, there are three most powerful forces today, Liu Yan, who has been running Yizhou for a long time, Li Yi, who occupies Bingzhou, and Yuan Shu, who owns Nanyang and Yuzhou. Now that Yuan Shao has captured Jizhou, it has developed into a fourth noteworthy force, but Gongsun Chan has formed a coalition to defeat Yuan Shao, whether it is successful or not, there is no need to worry for the time being. Therefore, the subordinates felt that the lord could take the opportunity to deal with the other three forces at this time. Li Ru said with a chuckle.

"Hmm...... So Wen You thinks it's better to start with whom? Dong Zhuo pretended to be pensive when he heard this, and then looked at Li Ru and asked.

Hearing this, Li Ru turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu hurriedly said, "My lord, since Liu Yan became the ruler of Yizhou, he has been promulgating good governance to win the hearts of the people. And now, in the name of Zhang Lu's occupation of Hanzhong, he did not obey the edict of the imperial court, and obviously had a different heart for a long time. ”

Although Liu Yan and Zhang Lu were hostile on the surface, it was obvious that this simple trick could not hide from Li Ru and Jia Xu at all.

"However, Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and compared to the other two forces, Liu Yan's threat is obviously much lower. Therefore, his subordinates thought that it was better to make Zhang Lu the county guard of Hanzhong, so as to provoke the relationship between him and Liu Yan, and at the same time send someone to secretly win over Zhang Lu. In addition, people can be sent into Yizhou to inquire about intelligence. Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

"Hmm...... What about Yuan Shu and Li Yi? Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this.

"My lord, the so-called two tigers must be injured when they fight, and now among the coalition forces that crusade against Yuan Shao, there are Li Yi in Bingzhou, Liu Bei in Qingzhou and Yuan Shu in Yuzhou. Even if Yuan Shao can win over those protégés of the Yuan family in Yanzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, so his subordinates feel that they should help Yuan Shao a little......" Jia Xu said, turning his head and glancing at Li Ru.

Seeing this, Li Ru smiled helplessly, and then said, "My subordinates feel that they can send someone to order Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Tao Qian to crusade against Yuan Shu, and by the way, appoint Tao Qian as Xuzhou Mu." In addition, I heard that Zhou Yu, a son of the Zhou family in Jiangshu County, Nalu, was married to Yuan Shu's daughter, and his subordinates felt that a person of high moral standing should be sent to Yangzhou to take up his post to prevent Yuan Shu from infiltrating Yangzhou. ”

"Well, who is Wen Youyi suitable?" Dong Zhuo nodded and asked.

"Liu Xiang Liu Zhengli, who is the grandson of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning, and the descendant of Liu Wei, the Marquis of Muping, was once raised to filial piety and worshiped Langzhong, and later moved to the county magistrate of Xiayi County of Liang State. A few years ago, he was requisitioned by Sikong Mansion as a subordinate of Peng, and appointed him as the servant of the imperial history, but he was refused, and he was living in seclusion in the Huaipu area. Li Ru said in a deep voice.
