The room was quiet, Xun Yu's tone paused, laughed softly, and looked slightly at the figure caressing the short beard in the light opposite, "Fengxiao, Fengxiao, you are so smart, you still need to ask me about this?" ”

"I don't think that if you can win, everyone thinks that this battle is nine out of ten." On the other side, Guo Jia pinched a chess piece, and a smile appeared under his somewhat pale face, "....... Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, although scattered in the four states, but there are also 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and then look at the lord's side, although there are also three states, in addition to Yuan, it is still necessary to guard against Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Luoyang in the west must also arrange soldiers and horses to resist the high-level cadres who may go south...... Along the way, the lord faced Yuan Shao, and tens of thousands of people could use it in his hands. ”

"I am in no mood to continue to fall after what Feng Xiao said." Xun Yu scooped up the warm wine on the small stove and filled the ground, "....... In the past few years, Yuan Shao has been quietly recuperating and recuperating, although the soldiers and horses in his hands are much weaker than the soldiers of the lord's hundred battles, after all, they are menacing, as Feng Xian said before, facing the front of the soldiers, plus Yuan Benchu's family background is prominent, how many people are willing to advance and retreat with the lord? ”

"One floor...... Couldn't be more. Guo Jia replied with a smile, what he said before.

The figure who put down the spoon couldn't laugh, and suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it on the chessboard, Xun Yu, who has always been steady, couldn't help but grit his teeth: "There was a Yellow Turban Rebellion in front of my big man...... Later, there were Dong thieves who troubled the dynasty, so that thousands of people were displaced, and the national prestige was lost. They are all staring at their own acres and three-points of land, wishing to change the one that is good for them and listen to them, but they don't know that it is a change of dynasty...... How did my Han Dynasty raise such a group of people, they didn't feel blushing when they worshiped their ancestors, and they didn't feel ashamed of the ancestors who opened up the territory and expanded the territory!! ”

The last sound, almost from between the teeth, roared.

Guo Jia put down the chess pieces, picked up the wine and blew, "...... What's so guilty about being in a hurry to be a dog. ”

"Even if the Chinese and the military are not optimistic about the lord, there are still people, and now that the situation is urgent, when the army rises again, these people will still choose which side to stand on...... Feng Xiao thinks that Liu Bei is like that, it is rumored in Xu Du that he is the king of Zhongshan Jing, if it is true, he can also be pulled over to strengthen his momentum, just like Liu Ye, the king of Fuling. ”

Opposite, the warm wine was put on the table, Guo Jia's eyes turned to look at Xun Yu who was speaking, his eyes were deep, like a pair of deep wells, people couldn't help but feel trapped, he raised his hand, and his voice was very soft.

“.…… Before coming here, Jia had already been to the lord's mansion and talked about Liu Bei. ”

The content of the two speaks, involving the problem of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military mentality, in these days, are hidden in the people and the mouth, most of them are with the Yuan family already have old officials, gentry, the war is imminent, people's minds change, looking for the next backer, or take the opportunity to reach the top is not a few, and even more blatantly take the words outside to proclaim loudly, and then ...... He was beheaded.

In Cao's mansion, Cao Cao also knew the movement outside these days, and the usually well-behaved people also jumped out in a tense situation, Cao Cao seemed to be as uncomfortable as if he had been bitten by a dog that he had raised for many years, his head was wrapped in a cloth and cross-legged, and he looked at the news in his hand with a serious expression, and then threw it aside.

"These people are always unfamiliar, a few years ago they killed a batch, they showed a smile to please, now Yuan Benchu is coming, one by one wants to run over there, the same is true in the army, his Yuan family is powerful, leave Yuan Shao such a big sweetness, don't do it, my side will be in chaos."

He spoke to Liu Bei, who was not happy or angry in the seat below, and his tone was calm and mixed with a slight murderous aura. The latter leaned forward a little and arched his hand: "The prime minister uses soldiers, how can they know that the gossip is not true, and when the situation opens, they will swallow back what they said before." ”

"You're going to speak for them...... Don't worry about this, I, Cao Cao, have always been not afraid of people's words. Cao Cao waved his hand to let him put down his arm, and looked at the other party coldly: "But...... Xuande, which side are you optimistic about? ”

"The prime minister is on the side of the Han, and Bei is naturally on the side of the Han."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded, and was silent for a moment: "So far, inside and outside the city, other places are not optimistic that I can fight against Yuan Shao, but how much do I know that Yuan Shao is also walking on thin ice, what kind of person he is, I know best, do big things and regret his life, see small profits and forget his life, when I was crusading against Shouchun, I also heard that if I can achieve great things, why not a son?" Although Koji Yi has no virtue, but he has the talent of a general, why should he be forced to die? ”

The words paused, and he laughed: "....... I'd love to have a few more of these opponents. ”

Liu Bei stared at the ground and listened carefully to every sentence, nodded his head, and spoke in a slow voice: "Even if the battle between the prime minister and Yuan Shao is won, then Gongsun is ruthless, it is better not to take it lightly, in the future, if the four states are divided, there will always be a knife against each other, and it will be ...... when the time comes."

“.…… When the time comes, I won't show mercy to his subordinates, and I guess he won't either. Cao Cao interrupted the other party's words and took it casually, "After all, both of us are in this position, if it really comes to that time, what can be done?" There is no such thing as a war, without the kindness of a woman, and this country will not let it come and go, these things, Xuande should not talk about these things, I know better than you. ”

"Uh...... It's ......" Hearing what Cao Cao said, Liu Bei was stunned, and then returned to normal, arching his hands: "The prime minister understands in his heart, so he won't say more...... However, there is one thing, Yuan Shu is ready to go to Qingzhou to join Yuan Tan, and when the two Yuan are united, it will inevitably have a greater impact on the situation. ”

"The union of the two Yuans is indeed not good for me, Xuande reminds me to ...... in time"

When the figure with his head bowed heard this, his eyes finally had a hint of joy, but the words continued: "....... However, this matter is not allowed to bother Xuande personally lead the troops to the battle, I will go to a letter to Chen Yuanlong in Xuzhou, and Yu Ban, who is stationed in Taishan County, let them join the siege, Xuande is still ready to go to Yanjin with me to discuss Yuan Shao, such a grand event, how can you be missing. ”

The joy quickly dissipated from the bottom of his eyes, Liu Bei got up and walked to the middle, and bowed to the figure above: "Invited by the prime minister, how can you not go?"

He said a few more words to Cao Cao, and almost at noon, he walked out of Cao's mansion, looked at the rainy sky, the rain fell into his eyes, and sighed: "How is it different from the plan......

In front of the mansion, when Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were waiting with their horses, looked over, Liu Bei restrained his expression, walked down the stone steps quickly, and smiled at the two brothers who ushered in him: "Let the two virtuous brothers wait for a long time." ”

"How's the big brother? Did Prime Minister Cao agree that we should lead troops to kill Yuan Shu's gang? Zhang Fei came over with a spear in one hand and a horse in the other, and said bluntly.

Guan Yu also looked at his brother beside him, and what he wanted to say was similar to that of the third brother, so he didn't speak.

“.…… Let's all go back and prepare, it's time for war. Liu Bei took the wrists of the two of them, smiled and patted them gently, "But it's not to crusade against Yuan Shu, but to conquer Yuan Shao with the prime minister." ”

"Hahaha!!"

Zhang Fei took Liu Bei's mount, pulled him up, patted the horse's buttocks and shouted: "What's the point of killing a lost dog, it's better to be a brother, let me and my second brother have a chance to go to Jizhou to fight...... Ha ha! Joyfully! ”

The horse's hooves walked slowly in the rain, and on the back of the horse, Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

Compared with the rain in the Central Plains in the south, at the same time, the four places of Shanggu County, Dingyang, Daijun and Yanmen County in the north were already in a state of war, and a large amount of logistical supplies and baggage were being requisitioned and transferred from the two rear areas of Dingyang and Daijun to Shanggu and Yanmen counties, and outside, the military intelligence spying on Youzhou and Bingzhou, and even the assassination of officials and generals were also quietly launched under Jian Shuo's planning. In some places, skirmishes have already begun.

However, compared to these things that cannot be regarded as things on the table, the real arrangement of the entire You, Hebei, and Sanzhou has been deduced in the hands of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Li Ru and Tian Yu.

On the 11th day of March, the first batch of ransom grain had entered Juyong Pass, and the envoy of Jizhou also came to Fuyang, Shanggu County.

He was Xu You, who came to the north for the second time, and faced Wang Lie, who came out of the palace, and said softly: "I want to see the governor of Gongsun, and I hope that the county will pass it on my behalf, and tomorrow I want to bring Gongzi Xi back to Jizhou." ”

"No problem......" Wang Lie looked at him with a smile and paused.

“.…… People are ready. ”
