Yuan Shu's side is preparing to attack Yanzhou, and Cao Cao over there will naturally not be unaware, in fact, since he chose to support Yuan Shao, Cao Cao knew that he and Yuan Shu would have a battle sooner or later. It's just that he probably didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"What?! Yuan Shu withdrew Yangzhou's troops?! When Cao Cao heard the soldier's report, he immediately stood up in shock.

"Lord, then Yuan Shu must be planning to invade while our army has just pacified the Yellow Turban! Moreover, he and Tao Qian had reached an agreement to confront General Yuan earlier. Now, it is very likely that they will join forces to attack Yanzhou! Xun Yu on the side said quickly.

"Exactly! Lord, his subordinates thought that they should immediately ask General Yuan for help! At the same time, you can also send people to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to win over the two Liu envoys! If they were willing to send troops to help contain Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shu and Tao Qian joined forces to attack Honshu, they would not be able to exert all their strength. Chen Gong also hurriedly said, not caring at all, these words were completely echoing Xun You's words. Maybe it's because Cao Cao said to him before? Or is it because at this moment, he doesn't have time to think about it?

"Hmmm! What Gongtai and Gongda said is very true, so it is decided! Cao Cao said happily when he heard this. But I don't know if it's because his staff gave a solution to the crisis, or because Chen Gong didn't continue to fight against Xun Yu today.

Then, Cao Cao looked at Lou Gui on the side and said, "Uncle Zi, you go to Jingzhou in person, you are from Jingzhou, you should be easier to talk." With that, he sent Xun Yue to Yangzhou to persuade Liu Xuan, and Yuan Shao of Jizhou sent Chen Gong to go.

"In addition, send an order to Meng Zhuo and Yuan to let them immediately assemble their troops and prepare for battle!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Also, let Zihe lead the troops to Dongjun and send people to closely monitor their families!" ”

"No!"

Now that he has just subdued the Yellow Turban Thieves, Cao Cao doesn't believe that they will do their duty, or rather, Cao Cao doesn't believe these people at all. It's just that I have to do it for the sake of a large number of laborers.

Jizhou.

"I see, please tell Meng De that I will send troops to Yanzhou as soon as possible to support! Please don't worry about it, and be prepared to resist that Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shao heard Chen Gong's words, he said with a serious expression.

"Thank you, General Yuan!"

And after Chen Gong left, Yuan Shao immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter.

"My lord, my subordinates think that since Yuan Shu is preparing to send troops to Yanzhou, it is impossible not to guard against the support of our army. Moreover, our army is now attacking Zhang Yan in Youzhou and Montenegro at the same time, plus Liu Bei, who needs to guard against Qingzhou, the troops are already a little stretched......" Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Guo Tu on the side said in a deep voice, "And Cao Fujun has just surrendered a million yellow turbans, even if he is defeated, it will not be a problem to hold on for a while......

"My lord!" Hearing Guo Tu's words, Xu You on the side immediately objected, "Cao Fujun and the lord have been friends for many years, and now they are powerful allies who support the lord. If the lord watches from the wall when he is in trouble, not only will it not sound good, but I am afraid it will also make Cao Fujun feel cold......"

"It's not that it's not sent, but it's the first to send it, just to tell Yuan Shu that our army has sent troops to support!" As soon as Xu You finished speaking, Xun Yan on the side spoke, "If it really can't stop Yuan Shu's offensive, it won't be too late for our army to reinforce at that time." And now that a large army is immediately sent to support, it can only postpone the offensive against Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan. In this way, wouldn't it give the two of them a chance to breathe? ”

"Since the lord has promised to send reinforcements, if only a few thousand people are sent, then it is better not to send them! And although our army is attacking Zhang Yan and Nagongsun Chan at the same time, but at this time Gongsun Chan is busy suppressing the rebellion in Youzhou, as for that Zhang Yan is just a thief, if it weren't for the geographical advantage of Montenegro, he would have been pacified by our army a long time ago......" Hearing Xun Yan's words, Feng Ji on the side also spoke.

For a time, many staff members expressed their opinions, but basically, they can be divided into two factions: agreeing with Xu You's words and agreeing with Guo Tu's words. Well...... The people who supported Xu You and Guo Tu were the people of Nanyang, Jingzhou and Yingchuan, Yuzhou, respectively, and as for the others, they were either silent or supported one of the two sides.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be fights, and if you can't fight alone, you will form a circle. From relatives and friends to fellow villagers, people who want to fight can always make all kinds of circles to strengthen their side of the fight.

And throughout the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it seems that it has been in the struggle of this faction. It's just that now, it has changed from a tripartite struggle between eunuchs, relatives, and scholars above the court to a struggle between warlords everywhere. Among the warlords, those staff and generals are constantly vying for fame and fortune in the local circle.

In fact, this situation exists even under Li Yi's command, but it is not so obvious. On the one hand, it is because most of the people in power under Li Yi, such as Lu Bu and others, are disciples of the Li family in the past, or they are poor families and even ordinary people who have climbed up step by step from the former Liao camp.

Because of their long-term fear of Li Yi, these people can't have any fighting spirit at all, at most they just secretly swear that they will make more meritorious contributions than each other.

On the other hand, it is because of the existence of Daodao Academy. Most of Li Yi's subordinates, such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, or those local officials, have a difficult relationship with the Great Dao Academy. Either they came out of it directly, or they were the disciples and protégés of a certain master in the Great Dao Academy before, which made these staff officials completely regarded as people in a circle.

Of course, even if it is a circle of people, there will be all kinds of fights. But obviously, under the noses of Li Yi and many masters, even if they fight, they can only work secretly like Lu Bu and others, and they don't dare to mess around at all.

In fact, Li Yi is also very aware of this kind of healthy competition, but he is very happy to see it. After all, if there is no competition, how can people progress? It's like he, Li Yi, if he hadn't been treating Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others as imaginary enemies since he came to this era, how could he become such a person who is both civil and military?

Ahem! Far from it.

Yuan Shao sat on the first place, listening to the arguments of the people below, and felt an incomparably headache for a while. Because he thinks that what these people say seems to be quite reasonable, but on the contrary, they are two different voices.

After a long while, when everyone was waiting for him to make a decision after arguing, Yuan Shaocai groaned and said, "What you said is quite reasonable, why don't you send a general to raise more than 10,000 people to Yanzhou to support." In this way, there is no need to mobilize troops from other places, but Mengde's side can be reasonable. ”

"This ......" Xu You, Guo Tu and the others obviously didn't expect Yuan Shao to come to such a middle way, which made them not know what to say for a while.

But at this moment, Zhang Jaw, who had been silent, said loudly, "Lord! Jaw is willing to lead the army to support Yanzhou! ”

As a native of Jizhou and a defector from Han Fu, although he is not interested in the fight between Xu You, Guo Tu and other staff, he is not indisputable. It's just that the object of his fight is Koji Yi, who also defected from Han Fu's side! You must know that in the past, under the command of Han Fu, he and Koji Yi can be said to be equal generals of the unified army.

But now? Because of the early defection of Koji Yi, he is now one of the most important generals under Yuan Shao. Looking at the distribution of Yuan Shao's forces now, the first army commanded by Liyi cooperated with Yan Rou and others to attack Gongsun Zhan, and Chun Yuqiong unified the army to attack Zhang Yan's territory. The last army was commanded by Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, and Liu Bei was stationed in Qingzhou, the defense of Qinghe.

"Lord, Lan is also willing to lead the army to support Yanzhou!" As soon as Zhang Jaw's words fell, Gao Ran on the side also spoke. He didn't mean to fight with Zhang Jaw, but he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

"Hmm...... In that case, Gongwang will go with him as the lieutenant general of the Emperor. Yuan Shao said after hearing this.

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will not disappoint my lord!" Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly thanked them.

On the other side, Gongsun Zhan, who was struggling to deal with the rebellion of Koyi and Yan Rou, also got the news that Yuan Shu was preparing to send troops to Yanzhou.

"Damn Yuan Highway, is he finally willing to send troops?!" Gongsun Chan cursed viciously. You must know that since the war with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan doesn't know how many times he has urged Yuan Shu to send troops. But every time, he was directly sent away by Yuan Shu. This made Gongsun Chan angry, but there was no other way.

After all, Yuan Shu was far away in Yuzhou, no matter how angry Gongsun Chan was, could he still raise troops to kill him? And...... Unless he is crazy, he will be the enemy of Yuan Shu again while he has already made an enmity with Yuan Shao.

"Go, send someone to tell that Zhang Yan, just say that Yuan Shu has decided to send troops to attack Yanzhou, and then Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to help......" Gongsun Chan ordered.

He naturally didn't know if Yuan Shu had sent someone to inform Zhang Yan, but judging from Yuan Shu's impression of Gongsun Zhan, it was probably not. After all, when Gongsun Chan formed an alliance with Yuan Shu and Tao Qian in the past, Yuan Shu was also disdainful of Gongsun Zhan's attitude of preparing to pull Zhang Yan in.

Subsequently, he wrote a letter in his own hand and sent someone to send it to Qingzhou. Although Liu Bei had not agreed to Yuan Shao's proposal since he made peace, now, Gongsun Zhan still wanted to give it a try.

"Liu Xuande! I hope you can get acquainted with each other, otherwise after I solve Yuan Shao, ......" Gongsun Chan thought indignantly in his heart. In his opinion, if Liu Bei was willing to send troops to help, how could he be suppressed so badly by Yuan Shao?

If Liu Bei is just Gongsun Zhan's old acquaintance, then forget it, but on the contrary, the two are not only old acquaintances, but also classmates under Lu Zhi! And Gongsun Chan also took care of Liu Bei a lot back then. In this case, Liu Bei turned a blind eye to Gongsun Zhan's predicament, how could he not make Gongsun Chan angry?

"Alas, Bo Jue is really embarrassing for me to do this......" Liu Bei sighed helplessly after receiving Gongsun Zhan's letter.

"Gongsun Junhou asked the lord to send troops to help?" Jian Yong, who was on the side, asked curiously when he heard this.

"Alas, that's it......" Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "This time Bo Jue not only asked me to send troops to help, but also mentioned many things when he was in Zhuo County in the past, and bluntly said that his situation was very difficult at this time, and I hope I can remember the old feelings in the past......" Liu Bei said here and sighed again, "Bo Jue has never begged ......for someone in such a low voice

"It's just that if the lord wants to send troops, I'm afraid it's not easy to persuade you......" Hearing this, how did Jian Yong not know what Liu Bei meant. After all, he has followed Liu Bei for the longest time, and it can be said that he knows the real Liu Bei better than anyone else.

"yes...... It's really a big problem over there......" Liu Bei shook his head and sighed when he heard this. If it weren't for the fact that Bing Yuan, Kong Rong and others were not convinced, I'm afraid he would have raised troops to help Gongsun Zan a long time ago. It's not that he really thinks about his classmates, but because he doesn't feel that Yuan Shao really forgot his old hatred after making peace with him.

Of course, in Liu Bei's view, whether Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan won the victory, it would be impossible to let Qingzhou out of his control in the end. However, obviously, compared with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan was not taken by Liu Bei.

"Alas, if it weren't for the impatience of Bo Jue, how could he have ended up in such a field today?" Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but complain again. Why didn't he send troops to help Gongsun Zhan? Isn't it because his Gongsun Zhan messed up by himself and directly swept away all the reasons that Liu Bei could use to send troops?

"Then ......" Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei when he heard this.

"Wait, maybe something will turn around?" Liu Bei waved his hand and sighed. Speaking of which, sometimes he is also quite envious of Gongsun Chan, although Gongsun Chan's current situation is unfavorable, at least he has always acted according to his own temperament. But what about him Liu Bei? But you have to be careful about this and that......

"Bear with me...... If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and before the success of Gaozu in the past, didn't you always tolerate that book? Liu Bei thought secretly.

Hearing this, Jian Yong didn't say much, although his own lord seemed to be very talkative many times, but Jian Yong knew very well that as long as he made up his mind, no matter anyone's persuasion, it was impossible to change his mind.

It's like this time, is it really the reason why Liu Bei is afraid of Bing Yuan or Kong Rong and others? Not really! Jian Yong believed that if Liu Bei really wanted to send troops to support Gongsun Zhan, he would definitely be able to come up with a reason why Bing Yuan and the others could not object. It's just that Liu Bei obviously feels that the benefits that supporting Gongsun Zan can bring to Liu Bei are far less than what he has lost.

"By the way, the lord, Tao Envoy Jun has already sent him over, calculate the time, it may be there in a few days." After a long while, Jian Yong diverted the topic.

"Well, send her directly to my house when the time comes." Liu Bei waved his hand when he heard this and said, it seems that he doesn't seem to have much interest in this matter.
