Yuzhou.

"Humph! First Yuan Shao and now Li Yi, have these people ever put me Yuan Highway in their eyes?! Yuan Shu looked at the information in his hand and snorted coldly, his expression was very embarrassed. It seems that Li Yi's essay inadvertently stimulated Yuan Shu.

But it's no wonder that Yuan Shu has always thought highly of himself, and no matter in terms of background, ability or resume, he doesn't seem to be worse than others.

It's just that over the years, the rise of the crusade against the Yellow Turban Li Yi and the eradication of the eunuchs have made Yuan Shao famous all over the world, and when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, it was Cao Cao and Sun Jian who became famous. Although he Yuan Shu got a lot, and it could even be said that he was the one with the most, Yuan Shu was obviously still very unwilling. Because, there are two more people who are always in his head.

"Lord, my subordinates think that this matter should be responded to by Li Yi." Xun Di hesitated for a moment, but still said respectfully, "Now Tao Qian in the east has made an alliance with the lord, and Yanzhou in the north is too busy to take care of himself because of the yellow turban thieves. In this way, if Li Yi sends troops to Sanfu, the lord can concentrate on attacking Jingzhou and Yangzhou. ”

"Gongfu's words are very true, as long as the lord can take Jingzhou and Yangzhou, plus today's Yuzhou, who in the world will dare to disobey the lord at that time?" Yang Hong and Yan Xiang also opened their mouths to persuade.

"Hmm...... Then I will also respond to Li Yi's inscription? Yuan Shu groaned when he heard this, but looking at his flickering eyes, he was obviously moved by Xun Di's words.

"Not only to respond, but also to make a big splash!" Yang Hong said respectfully, "It's best to send a message to Tao Qian, and then join forces with many local officials to respond." In this way, the world will definitely know the prestige of the lord......"

"Haha, Gongguang really won my heart!" Yuan Shu laughed loudly when he heard this, obviously moved by Yang Hong's last words.

Yanzhou.

"Has Zikang finally acted?" Cao Cao listened to Chen Gong's report and responded in a flat tone, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Xun You on the side said respectfully, "Lord, my subordinates think that they should respond to Li Wushuang's text as soon as possible, with today's situation, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is busy fighting against Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou is also preparing to attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and they will definitely respond to Li Wushuang's text." In this way, if the lord does not respond, it will be detrimental to the lord. ”

Not long after Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, Xi Zhicai recommended Xun You and Xun Yue to Cao Cao. In this regard, Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed, and immediately recruited them as Yanzhou pastor.

"Well, let's do it." Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then waved his hand, signaling that everyone could retreat.

Seeing this, everyone said no more, and left one after another. And after everyone left, Cao Cao sighed softly, "Zikang, Zikang, you have always had no interest in the affairs of the court, but now, do you really just want to avenge the emperor?" ”

Cao Cao's tone was full of doubts and even worries, although he had always admired Li Yi, but after so many years, it was difficult for him to guarantee whether Li Yi's actions this time were purely for revenge or if he had other plans. After all, Yuan Shao, who was also thought so by Cao Cao in the past, has now completely changed.

After a long while, Cao Cao suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, why do you want to do so much?" The most important thing now is to get rid of those damn Yellow Turban thieves first! ”

When the news reached Xuzhou, Tao Qian naturally would not fail to give face to his new ally, and in this case, if he Tao Qian did not respond, wouldn't he be the enemy of the world's heroes? However, Tao Qian also has his own ideas.

"The reason why Yuan Shu responded to Li Wushuang's letter is just to make an alliance with me, just to be able to attack Yangzhou and Jingzhou with all his might. Jingzhou's Liu Biao aside, Yangzhou's Liu Miao will definitely not be that Yuan Shu's opponent. And once he takes Yangzhou and Jingzhou, I'm afraid it won't be long before Xuzhou will fall into his hands......" Tao Qian sighed as he looked at the information in his hand.

It's just that although he understands this truth, Tao Qian doesn't seem to be able to do anything. After all, he didn't dare and didn't want to be an enemy of Yuan Shu anymore, so he ...... There seemed to be nothing he could do to prevent what he had imagined from happening.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and then I saw a man walking in quickly, "Lord, there is news from Langya that a person named Que Xuan has raised troops to rebel, and now he has captured Linyi!" He is Tao Qian's subordinate Cao Hong, and he is also one of the few people Tao Qian trusts in Xuzhou.

"Oh? How many troops are there? Tao Qian replied lightly when he heard this, and he didn't seem to care about this matter at all.

"According to the news from the Minister of the Yin Kingdom, there are about 30,000 or 40,000 people." Cao Hong said in a bit of a panic.

"Thirty or forty thousand?! Hum! Does Yin De think I'm a fool? Those Yellow Turban thieves have long been driven out of Xuzhou by me, where are there so many chaotic people?! Tao Qian snorted coldly, his tone quite dissatisfied.

"Lord, what now?" Cao Hong asked.

Cao Hong has some martial arts, and it is okay to lead soldiers, which depends on military merits Tao Qian, who sat in Xuzhou Mu, liked. Moreover, Cao Hong is very good at flattery, and his family is a big family in Xiapi, so Tao Qian constantly promoted Cao Hong, and let him lead the soldiers of Xiapi. I hope that by winning over him, perhaps the support of the Cao family, I can fight against those Xuzhou families who do not obey me.

"Hmph, that Yin De lost Linyi, so naturally he has to ask for the guilt!" Tao Qian said coldly. Langya is one of those Xuzhou scholars who do not obey him. Now that this kind of thing has happened, Tao Qian naturally will not let it go easily.

"Send someone to tell Na Yinde, I know very well how many thieves there are, let him lead the army to exterminate the thieves as soon as possible." Tao Qian said in a deep voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, he whispered to Cao Hong, "In addition, send someone to secretly support that Que Xuan, and let him try to cause more trouble for Yin De." That way, the chances of sending him to jail are even greater. ”

"Please rest assured!" Cao Hong said with a treacherous smile.

"Well, in addition, let Mi Bei drive to Qingzhou and bring my greetings and gifts." Tao Qian nodded and said again. As a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, Tao Qian is a person who likes to be noble and poor, so soon, Mi Zhu was appointed by Tao Qian to be a different driver by doing what he liked, and Cao Hong acted as Tao Qian's cronies.

In Chang'an, it was naturally impossible for Ma Teng not to know that Li Yi had sent a message to him. So he immediately reprimanded the untruthfulness of this article in the name of the imperial court, and accused Li Yi of just wanting to become the second Dong Zhuo to control the imperial court. At the same time, they are constantly mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for the upcoming war.
