Under Liu Yong's instructions, the Wu family's actions were not stopped, so Wu Yi and Wu Ban thought that everything they did was seamless and everything was under their control, so they were even more unscrupulous.

Ma Teng, the king of Qin, and Han Sui, the king of Liang, saw that there was not much movement in Hanzhong, and they also thought that Liu Yong was already unbearable at the moment because of the continuous war, so they quickly agreed to Zhong Xuan's joint request, and prepared to work with Cao Cao to fight against the high-ranking cadres of the state and seize the springboard for themselves to enter the Central Plains.

The Shixie brothers also recruited troops and horses in Jiaozhou, constantly encroaching on the surrounding areas, and even made a big move against the South Vietnamese regions, actively expanding their chassis, and their strength skyrocketed.

When spring came, all people's hearts were restless, and the world began to be chaotic again.

Only Sun Quan, the king of Wu in Jiangdong, was extremely depressed, and was cut off by Liu Yong before he started, causing prices to skyrocket, and the people complained, secretly scolding the injustice of the world and the incompetence of the Sun family. In addition, Gan Ning guarded against Zhou Yu closely, and Zhou Yu was unwilling to stop preparing for the war halfway, pushing Sun Quan to the cusp, and he was extremely sad and tormented every day.

Cao Cao was very angry because the Yan family was robbed, but after meditating, he was relieved. Yan is already a woman, if she wants to test her to restrain Lu Qiling and let Yong die, there is indeed little hope. Not to mention the rest, with Jin Tianwei's strength, how could Liu Yong die so easily.

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, he was really dizzy, how could he use a beauty trick to assassinate Liu Yong, and he hadn't heard how lustful Liu Yong was. Looking back on his life, before Liu Yong, although there were small defeats, whether it was against Dong Zhuo, or against Lu Bu and Tao Qian, or against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he always had the last laugh as a winner, but after meeting Liu Yong, he was always frustrated, once by accident, twice by accident, but after three and five times, he lost his troops and lost his generals, and now even Xu has been lost, and his hometown Zhuojun is also in danger, basically there is no hope, it seems that he was indeed carried away by the victory and became dizzy, so he will end up like this. He is a generation of heroes, and after all, he must rely on strength to win, not a little bit of grapevine.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled, and smiled very happily, because he felt like he was reborn, and he wanted to regroup, make a comeback, and get back everything that belonged to him.

"This troubled world must be ended by me, Cao Cao!" Cao Cao made up his mind.

Cao Cao picked up a volume of documents on the bookcase, which was a report sent by Zhong Xuan about uniting Ma Teng and Han Sui to conquer and merge with the high-ranking cadres of the state.

"Someone! Zhao Chengyu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Xin Bi, and Mao Jue came to discuss the matter! Cao Cao instructed his attendants.

Liu Yong's actions put the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou on the fire, and he was walking around the courtyard in an extremely impatient manner, thinking hard about how to solve the dilemma. He can be the lord of the state is naturally extraordinary, he has already found out that Zhong Xuan and Ma Teng Han Sui have reached a coalition, ready to march into the state in a big way, just wait for Cao Cao's order, and it will not be too long. Cao Cao Lian suffered defeat at the hands of Liu Yong, obviously wanting to regain his prestige, he needed a suitable target, unfortunately, his senior cadres were extremely suitable in terms of geography and strength.

Since Yuan Shao returned to heaven and the Yuan brothers were killed one after another, Gao Gan has long had no backer, but it also made him see the hope of dominating the world. He hoped that Cao Cao and Liu Yong would lose both, so he would make a move in the north, follow Yuan Shao's example, and unify the Hebei provinces, but the reality was very cruel, Cao Cao unified Hebei, but he was killed by Liu Yong miserably, and fled directly north to Yecheng, blocking his eastward journey. In this way, there is Liu Yong in the south, Cao Cao in the east, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Xuan in the west, and the powerful Xiongnu in the north.

After thinking about it, he only thought of one way, that is, to unite the Xiongnu Shan Yu Huyanquan and Hedong Taishou Guo Yuan to jointly fight against the strong enemies of the Quartet, of course, he could also ask Liu Yong for help, but he didn't know what Liu Yong would think.

Gao Gan is not an indecisive person, once he decides to send envoys to all parties immediately, the Xiongnu and Guo Yuan will not have much problem, as long as they give generous gifts and promises, they should agree, because they have the same worries as themselves, but Liu Yong's attitude makes him a little unsure.

Sure enough, a few days later, the envoys to the Xiongnu and Guo Yuan returned, and as he imagined, they promised to join forces to resist the enemy, but at the same time they received the news that Cao Cao had ordered them to send troops. Before Liu Yong's reply, he could only face the strong enemies on the east and west sides first.

As a result, in this situation, Huguan, an inconspicuous small city, has become a vital place.

The state is divided into six counties, namely Taiyuan, Shangdang, Leping, Xihe, Yanmen, and Xinxing. Huguan is located in the northwest of Changzi County, which is the first pass in the southeast of Shangdang, and Cao Cao's army must be the first choice for Shangdang, and Huguan has become the most important obstacle.

United Guo Yuan, the senior cadres of the southwest portal can finally rest assured, although Guo Yuan is stubborn and competitive, but he is indeed a first-class fierce general, as long as he can hold his own chassis, it is enough to block Zhong Xuan and Ma Teng's men. Yunzhong County had already fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu when Emperor Ling, so as long as Huyanquan's more than 100,000 troops went south, it would not be a problem to block Ma Teng's men and horses, and the remaining Cao Cao could only resist by himself, as long as Liu Yong could not take the opportunity to send troops to him, he was confident enough to fight against a strong enemy.

In Xiangyang City, Liu Yong looked at the rescue letter sent by Tian Feng in his hand, and smiled lightly: "It seems that Gao Gan is also worried about Gu interfering in it." I wonder what a few people think? ”

In this military meeting, not only Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, and Fa Zheng participated, but also the other four members of the cabinet except Liao Hua.

"This should be an opportunity for the king to enter Hebei!" Fa Zheng's eyes were burning and shining.

Pang Tong's eyes were also a little hot, but he seemed to have other thoughts, and he didn't speak after all.

Zhuge Jin opened his mouth and said: "The king is cautious, the Great Chu has been fighting for many years, the soldiers are tired, and they should cultivate, this is also the strategy set by the king!" Moreover, the state is now a place of four wars, and it seems that it is not appropriate to enter the army! Zhuge Jin is still cautious.

Han Hao said: "This time, there are high-ranking cadres asking for help, and they can enter the state in a justifiable way!" Fighters are hard to find, and it's a pity to miss them! ”

Ma Jian immediately said: "King, what Lord Ziyu is worried about is not wrong, it is indeed not appropriate to enter at this moment, it may not be able to occupy the state, and it is necessary to fight against several forces at the same time, even if you help Gao Gan keep the state, what reason do you want to stay?" If it is forced, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the king! ”

Jia Kui nodded, obviously thinking the same as Ma Yan.

Liu Yong nodded and looked at Zhuge Liang. Seeing Liu Yong's view, Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "King, Liang is not in favor of sending troops. However, we must not refuse, and we must let Gao Gan understand that although we will not send troops to help him, we will not take the opportunity to attack him. ”

Liu Yong smiled, the person who was able to monopolize the military and political power of Shu Han in history is really unusual, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a "human spirit".

"Tian Feng said the same, and Gu also thinks that this matter is not suitable for participation, then Kong Ming, you will write a letter to Gao Gan!" Liu Yong has actually decided not to participate, so he is not looking for so many people to engage in democracy, but to see people, so it seems that Tian Feng's Lao Lao and Kong Ming's control of the current situation is indeed better than others, and the law is conspiring, but the overall view is weaker, Pang Tong is in charge of the military, but he is weaker in government affairs, but Ma Jian surprised him again, it seems that the evaluation in the history books is also a little biased, just like Zhao Kuo. Jia Kui is stable and reusable.

After receiving Liu Yong's reply, Gao Gan was a little disappointed, but he was also a lot more relieved, and he made every effort to command his men and horses to prepare for war. For a while, all the eyes of the world converged on the state and waited for the development of the situation, which may become another key battle situation in the world of changes.

The strength of the high cadres is actually not weak, and there are two mountain ranges in the east and west of the state, Taihang and Taiyue, the middle plain, the grain and grass are abundant, but it is a good place, although it is not called a soldier, but it is definitely enough to have enough food, which is also the support of the high cadres to the present.

After the death of the Yuan brothers, Gao Gan became the only descendant of the Yuan family, and the subordinate generals who originally belonged to the sons of each son, and those who hated Cao Cao also took refuge in Gao Gan one after another, such as the clan brother Gao Rou, Youzhou Don't drive Han Heng, Yuan Shao's generals Han Juzi, Li Zhi, Zhao Zhao, Yuan Shao's brother-in-law Li Fu, Yuan Tan's general Yan Jing and others, so that Gao Gan's strength has increased greatly.

Gao Gan has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, Han Juzi led 10,000 to defend Yanmen, Yan Jing led 20,000 troops to guard Xihe, Li Fu 5,000 to guard Leping, Gao Rou to 10,000 to guard Xinxing, Gao Gan brought the rest of the more than 50,000 people to guard the party, Li Zhi, followed left and right, Han Heng is a rare talent in internal affairs, naturally left by his side, still for other drivers.

In the blink of an eye, March was the season when the grass grew and the warbler flew to the seal, but the senior cadres were very busy, and the military reports everywhere suddenly increased, and the enemy army marched.

Han Sui led Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing and four of the eight generals to lead an army of 50,000 troops to Yanmen, Ma Teng and his son sent 30,000 troops to Hejin, Xiahoudun sent troops from Chang'an to Tongguan with 50,000 troops, and Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 to Shexian County.

Besieged on three sides, ready to attack. Although there were no troops in the south, as a wealthy family in Hanoi County, the Sima family immediately launched a series of strategies against the annexation of the state, which made Gao Gan very uncomfortable. Since discovering that Liu Yong was a little indifferent to him, the Sima family immediately fell to Cao Cao, leaving only Sima Fu there as a hostage.

Fortunately, Huyanquan's 100,000-strong army soon arrived in the area of Yanmen Wangtao, and Guo Yuan also heavily defended Xiahoudun, temporarily forming a confrontation situation.
