At the end of April, Yuzhou, Ruyang County, Runan County.

"It's really ......" Yuan Shu looked at the letter sent by Gongsun Zan in his hand, and felt quite weird.

"My lord, what does the letter say?" Seeing Yuan Shu's expression, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang on the side, and Xun Di, who had just taken refuge, asked curiously.

"Then Yuan Shao used despicable means to force Han Fu to give up the position of Jizhou Mu to him." Hearing this, Yuan Shu looked at the two of them with a strange expression and said.

......Hearing this, Yang Hong and the others suddenly showed shocked expressions, and then became extremely dignified.

As Yuan Shu's subordinates, who were known for their wisdom, they naturally understood what Yuan Shao's capture of Jizhou represented. You must know that although Yuan Shao has been designated as the rebel of the Yuan family, in fact, there are still a large number of Yuan protégés and former officials who support Yuan Shao, and the Yanzhou Shanyang County guard Yuan Yu and Jiyin County guard Yuan Xu still support Yuan Shao with a clear banner, so it can be seen that Yuan Shao's reputation has not been affected by this at all.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Yuan Shu suddenly smiled evilly, "But now Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is trying to get me to join the alliance to crusade against Yuan Shao on the grounds that Yuan Shao ignores the laws of the imperial court. ”

"Uh......" Hearing this, Yang Hong and the others were stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, but they understood that they had been tricked by Yuan Shu. However, from this, they also found that Yuan Shu seemed to be in a good mood.

After a pause, Yang Hong asked tentatively, "Lord, I don't know who that Gongsun Chan invited?" And who agreed to join the Alliance? "If there is only one Gongsun Zhan, Yang Hong believes that Yuan Shu is definitely not in the mood to make such a boring joke, and there must be enough forces for Yuan Shu to think that Yuan Shao can't stop and be the enemy of Yuan Shao.

"Zhang Yan of Montenegro, Li Zikang of Bingzhou, and Liu Xuande of Qingzhou." Yuan Shu chuckled.

"What?!" Yang Hong and the three of them were stunned when they heard this, and then asked in disbelief, "Is this ...... Is this really possible? ”

It can't be blamed that they can't believe it, after all, in their hearts, Gongsun Chan is just a local general under Liu Yu, and it is already shocking to take the initiative to form an alliance against Yuan Shao, let alone win over Li Yi and others.

"Who knows? But it's also an opportunity. Yuan Shu casually threw the letter to the three of them, and then said with a chuckle.

After taking the letter, the three of them took a closer look, and then Yan Xiang said in a deep voice, "Needless to say, Zhang Yan of Montenegro has a power mainly in Changshan and Zhongshan, as long as he doesn't want to be annexed by Yuan Shao, he must unite with Gongsun Zhan." And that Qingzhou Liu Xuande, if Gongsun Zhan said that they were classmates, but there is no guarantee that he will be an enemy of Yuan Shao. ”

"Not necessarily, that Liu Bei used to be just a person who sold straw shoes and straw mats in Zhuo County, and took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to rise, and sat all the way to the position of Qingzhou pastor with his military exploits. It is unlikely that these people will not see the threat to Yuan Shao after he occupies Jizhou. And from its governance of Qingzhou and many actions, I am afraid that he is also an ambitious person. Yang Hong on the side objected.

"If this is the case, then even if Li Zikang does not join, it is enough to be evenly matched with Yuan Shao. But come to think of it, then Yuan Shao will definitely seek the help of the Yanzhou forces! Xun Di thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Humph! The ungrateful people! Obviously, I am the master of the Yuan family, and that Yuan Shao is just a traitor who has been expelled! They even chose to cling to him?! Yuan Shu snorted coldly when he heard this.

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yang Hong and the three of them were silent at the same time, after all, they really didn't know how to answer this kind of topic.

However, Yuan Shu's words were obviously just talking to himself, and then he looked at the three of them and said, "Go and tell the messenger of Gongsun Zhan, and say that I agree!" In addition, send someone to tell those who support Yuan Shao in Yanzhou that this is the last chance I give them! If you still choose Yuan Shao, then you will be the master of my Yuan family, the rear general, and the enemy of Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu Yuan Highway! ”

In the end, Yuan Shu's body exuded an extremely domineering momentum, and his eyes revealed a sense of contempt for the world. Well...... This may be the so-called domineering side...... Let's leak it.

Yuan Shu also joined the alliance to defeat Yuan Shao, which was definitely bad news for Yuan Shao, but before the news reached Jizhou, there was a group of people who had a headache first.

Yanzhou, Dongjun.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide the changes in Jizhou from Cao Cao, after all, Dongjun is on the edge of Wei County, Jizhou. At that time, Cao Cao just felt that there was something wrong with Yuan Shao doing this, but because of the situation, and after all, it was an internal matter in Jizhou, so he didn't pay attention to it. Where did you think that in less than a month, such a big change would happen, and even if you wanted to ignore it, you couldn't even ignore it.

"Alas...... Dong Zhuo has not been destroyed, and the young emperor is still suffering in Chang'an, but the original and the highway are ......" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, not long ago, Feng Ji arrived in Dongjun to try to persuade Cao Cao to send troops, but was dragged by Cao Cao on the grounds of thinking first. It's just that not long after Feng Ji left, Yuan Shu sent someone to persuade Cao Cao to be the enemy of Yuan Shao, which made Cao Cao really feel a headache.

"Gongtai, Zhongde, this incident in Jizhou will definitely affect the situation of the whole world in the future, so the two of you must help me make the best choice!" Cao Cao looked at Chen Gong and Cheng Yu and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Chen Gong and the two frowned deeply, and after a long while, Chen Gong said respectfully, "My lord, my subordinates think that it is better to remain neutral, no matter how Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, and no matter what reason Gongsun Chan used to crusade against Yuan Shao, but after all, there was no order from the imperial court." ”

"What Gongtai said is that now Li Wushuang of the state has joined the ranks of the crusade against Yuan Shao, if he is attached to Yuan Shao, with the location of Dongjun, he will definitely be the enemy of Li Wushuang. And if he joins the coalition army, he will definitely be attacked by those forces in Yanzhou who are dependent on Yuan Shao. Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was better to remain neutral, and with the friendship between Zhang Fujun, Bao Fujun and the lord, I am afraid that both sides would not easily become enemies with the lord. Cheng Yu opened his mouth and agreed.

"Alas, is there nothing that can be done to stop this war? They are also courtiers of the Han Dynasty, but now they are fighting each other......" Cao Cao sighed when he heard this.

In this regard, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were just silent, and Cao Cao didn't seem to want any answers, and soon, he made up his mind to remain neutral, and at the same time found an excuse that seemed good, the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Dongjun had not been removed, and he had no ability to send troops for the time being.

And Cao Cao made the same decision, as well as Chen Liujun Shou Zhang Miao and Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, not only because they were friendly with Cao Cao, but also because they were not used to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
