However, just two months later, Zhao Yun sent troops, and he was the first to make actual actions.

Zhao Yun raised 10,000 troops, took the general Gan Ning, Chen Wang Liu Chong, and the general Xu Huang to leave Luoyang in a mighty way, and crossed the Tiger Prison Pass and went straight into Yuzhou.

As soon as Zhao Yun sent troops, Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly summoned Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, you really said it, you said, is this Zhao Yun really just to crusade against Yuan Shu?" ”

Yuzhou and Yanzhou are adjacent to each other, due to the particularity of the location, Yuzhou is like a long crescent moon, almost wrapping Yanzhou, from Yingchuan to Runan, and then to Xiaopei, all belong to the territory of Yuzhou, the most let Cao Cao put down is that Xuchang and Yuzhou are too close, if Zhao Yun really has ulterior motives, suddenly turn around and attack Xuchang, it is not a joke.

Guo Jia shook the folding fan, "Lord, you are too worried, Zhao Yun sent troops this time, only brought 10,000 people, don't take it to heart, in my opinion, he is just doing this, does the lord really think that he can defeat Yuan Shu with these 10,000 people, or break through Xuchang?" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, but you must not be unguarded." ”

Who knows, Guo Jia still shook his head and said, "Lord, you are wrong." ”

Guo Jia pointed out the window, "In this Xuchang City, those old ministers of the Han family have been ready to move, this time, the lord wants to go out in person, Zhao Yun also sent troops from Yuzhou, those who have other intentions, they will definitely not be able to bear it, so not only do not strengthen the city defense, the lord should also deliberately evacuate the garrison, so that they think that there is an opportunity." ”

For a long time, Guo Jia didn't pay attention to Liu Xie, he is different from Xun Yu, Guo Jia is from a poor family, and he pays more attention to how to display his talents and calm the world for Cao Cao, as for Liu Xie, these people have no meaning to Guo Jia, they are just birds and beasts in cages in Guo Jia's eyes.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, the two looked at each other for a long time, and saw that Guo Jia was full of confidence, smiling freely, and looking like he was in his chest, Cao Cao smiled, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Now that Zhao Yun had already acted, Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Xie to issue an edict and send someone to send a letter to Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Liu Biao to crusade against Yuan Shu together.

When the news arrived in Jingzhou, there were no waves, Liu Biao ignored it, he has always been close to Yuan Shao, no matter what, even if there were conflicts with Yuan Shu before, this time Liu Biao did not plan to participate in the war.

If Yuan Shu is forced to die, this account will naturally be counted on his head, and at that time, it will be difficult to explain to Yuan Shao, after all, Yuan Shu is Yuan Shao's brother, not to mention that Sun Jian has been in full swing recently, and Liu Biao is always on guard, for fear that Sun Jian will suddenly turn around and hit Jingzhou's idea.

Zhao Yun entered Yuzhou and greeted Guo Gong in advance, in the past two years, Zhao Yun and Guo Gong have been in private more frequently, since Guo Gong broke away from Yuan Shao, he took the initiative to move closer to Zhao Yun's side.

coincided with troubled times, offended Yuan Shao, and had behemoths like Liu Biao and Cao Cao around him, Guo Gong had to find a big tree to rely on if he wanted to survive in the cracks.

What's more, Chen Wang Liu Pet has been staying in Chen State before, Chen Guo belongs to Yuzhou County, Liu Pet usually gets along well with Guo Gong, and Liu Pet matches him from the middle, and Guo Gong and Zhao Yun have naturally reached an alliance.

It's just that it hasn't been announced to the public.

As soon as Zhao Yun's team entered Yingchuan, Guo Gong brought people to greet him, Guo Gong set up a banquet in Yangzhai, rewarded the Han army, killed chickens and sheep, and prepared very grandly.

Guo Gong's face is white, his manners are elegant, he has a handful of goatees, he looks very kind, and by getting along, Zhao Yun knows that he is a little cautious and less courageous.

"Zilong, are you really sending troops this time to deal with Yuan Shu?" After a few glasses of wine, the topic was discussed, Guo Gong leaned in front of Zhao Yun, and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Guo, where are you talking about this, Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor without authorization, went against the sky, perversely acted against the grain, and everyone was punished, I naturally sent troops to kill Yuan Shu, get rid of thieves for the country, and kill traitors for the people."

Guo Gong nodded, "I also know a little bit about the Son of Heaven before, don't you hate Cao Cao?" ”

Zhao Yun drank a glass of wine, the matter has come to this point, it is too late to say anything, since the Son of Heaven has gone to Xuchang, we as courtiers can only hope that Your Majesty can be safe, other than that, it is meaningless, but Brother Guo, you have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity before. ”

"Me?" Guo Gong was stunned and was a little confused.

Zhao Yunlang smiled and explained, "Lu Bu made a big fuss in Yanzhou before, and joined forces with Zhang Miao, in just a few days, he seized most of the territory of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's territory is only left with three lonely cities, Brother Guo has also sent troops, you led tens of thousands of troops to surround Juancheng, but unfortunately, it was deceived by Xun Yu, if you can attack decisively at that time, not to mention Juancheng is at your fingertips, Cao Cao's family will all fall into your hands, Xun Yu Xiahou will also die in the hands of Brother Guo, not only that, Cao Cao will have no way to retreat at all." There is no place to bury the dead. ”

"Hey, that's right, Zilong, I really regret this when I think about it."

History is often full of coincidences and variables, and any slight change may affect the change of the battle situation.

If Guo Gong hadn't been scared away by Xun Yu, Cao Cao's good days would have come to an end long ago.

Guo Gong will no longer be worried about Cao Cao.

"Hey, drink!" Guo Gong became more and more depressed, and drank three glasses in a row.

Zhao Yun asked about Zang Hong again, and heard that Zang Hong could compete with Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops with only a small Dongjun, and Zhao Yun sincerely felt admiration.

Zhao Yun persuaded Guo Gong that if necessary, he must give Zang Hong more support, and this time he sent troops, Zhao Yun also carried no less than 50 million money, so that Guo Gong could transfer it to Zang Hong together.

Jia Xu didn't want Zhao Yun to get involved, especially at this time, he must not be an enemy of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

But Zhao Yun couldn't bear to ignore it, Zang Hong in his mind, just like Hu Baoyi Song Jiang in the Water Margin, anxious for justice and righteousness, well aware of righteousness, mentioning Zang Hong's name, all praised, this is a worthy of respect.

didn't do anything, and Zhao Yun couldn't help it.

Yuan Shao's approach also made Zhao Yun difficult to understand, even if Zang Hong broke with him, it was not a big deal, not to mention that Zang Hong still wiped Cao Cao's land card, he did this, it was tantamount to inserting a nail in Cao Cao's heart, Yuan Shao let Gongsun Zhan not clean up, and had to send someone across the border to deal with Zang Hong.

The effort is thankless, and he wastes his prestige in vain, Yuan Shao did this, just like Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, and the upper class scholars were very dissatisfied with this.

After resting in Yangzhai for a day, Zhao Yun continued to raise troops and went straight to Chen State.
