The three years of Jian'an were an eventful time for the Central Plains.

Youzhou Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan lasted for nearly ten years of disputes, with Liu Bei led Zhang Fei to attack Youbeiping in August, Gongsun Chan burned the building and self-immolated, announcing that Youzhou, a war-torn land, completely belonged to Liu Yu, but followed by Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang, Zhang Liao, and Gao Ran stationed troops in Hejian and Zhongshan respectively, eyeing Youzhou, which also represented the beginning of a new war.

Cao Cao completed the digestion of Xuzhou, the territory and Yuan Shu were completely handed over, and the friction between the two sides began to intensify.

Yuan Shu did not claim the emperor as in history, and sat on most of the territory of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, with many generals under his command, Cao Cao for a while, and was unwilling to go to war with Yuan Shu, in order to divide Yuan Shu's power, Cao Cao first ordered Yuan Shao's general Liu Xun to serve as the Lujiang Taishou, and the military and political rights belonged to Liu Xun, and the status was on par with the state pastor, and at the same time, in the name of the imperial court, Liu Xun was appointed as the Yangzhou Taishou, so that Yuan Shu could not concentrate on fighting with Cao Cao and accumulating enough strength for Cao Cao.

However, for the princes or scholars of the world, the most shocking thing is that Ye Zhao, who had been dormant in the land of Sichuan and Shu for eight years, suddenly killed out of Hanzhong with an extremely strong attitude and invaded Chang'an!

In May, Ye Zhao led an army of 80,000 soldiers, known as 200,000 soldiers, out of Hanzhong, originally thought that it would be a dragon and tiger fight, but who knew that in just three months, Ye Zhao broke the Xiliang army.

Li Dao and Guo Yan died in their own tents, and Ye Zhao took advantage of the situation to gather his people, and his military prestige soared.

Out of Hanzhong in May, at the beginning of September, Jingzhao, Longxi, Fufeng, Zuo Fengyi, Anding, Tianshui, Nan'an, Guangwei eight counties were all swept by Ye Zhao with the momentum of whale swallowing, at this time, the news began to spread in the Central Plains princes, but at this time Ye Zhao occupied the land of Sanfu has become a general trend, although there are still Hongnong, Hedong has not been completely annexed, but now Ye Zhao around, whether Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, is now out of reach of Guanzhong, Hedong Weijia or Lu Bu, who is now in Hongnong, is unlikely to stop Ye Zhao from annexing the two places.

This means that Ye Zhao walked out of Shu and is ready to participate in this competition in the world, which is undoubtedly a dangerous signal for the princes or scholars of the world.

Although Ye Zhao closed Shuzhong in these years, but still maintained trade with the outside world, some news in Shuzhong, how much can still be explored, plus Ye Zhao gave Li Dao and Guo Yan a plan back then, although Guanzhong was stable, but from the perspective of concept, it is undoubtedly for the purpose of weakening the influence of the scholars in politics, and therefore, Ye Zhao sent troops to Guanzhong, and captured Guanzhong in a short period of time, which brought shock to the Central Plains scholars, not only the shock brought by the military, but also the threat that was indeed threatened.

"Ye Zhao is heinous and disrupts the discipline of my dynasty, please send troops to Guanzhong to eliminate rebellion!" Jizhou, Yecheng, the General's Mansion, a group of Jizhou celebrities gathered in Yuan Shao's Mansion and bowed down to ask for their lives.

Yuan Shao heard this, frowned slightly, Ye Zhao sent troops to Guanzhong, which was somewhat unexpected to him, Shu Road is difficult to walk, easy to enter and difficult to get out, Yuan Shao estimated that unless Li Dao and Guo Yan perished, it would be difficult for Ye Zhao to run out of Guanzhong, but he didn't expect Li Dao and Guo Yan to still have vitality, Ye Zhao took the initiative to raise troops, and occupied the active situation in such a short period of time, which made Yuan Shao have a sense of crisis, and he also had the intention to clean up Ye Zhao.

But now Yuan Shao's main force is focused on Youzhou, and at this time, if the Yuan family has a big business, Jizhou is also a large grain-producing state, and it can't withstand these two fronts of fighting, and they are all facing the big princes who occupy at least one state, and they are a little hesitant for a while.

Don't drive Tian Feng frowned when he heard this, and bowed down and said: "Lord, the main force of our army is now hiding in Jizhou, if you use troops against Guanzhong, how can it stop thousands of miles?" Labor expedition, and may not be able to make contributions, and now Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan war rest, Youzhou is weak, it is the time when our army takes the opportunity to annex Youzhou, if you turn to Guanzhong at this time, it will give Liu Yu a chance to breathe, no matter the victory or defeat of Guanzhong, our army needs to recuperate for a while, so when can we annex Youzhou? ”

"What Yuan Hao said is wrong!" Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, has experienced many wars, the people's livelihood is tired, and the army is determined, even if you give that Liu Yu a few years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a climate!" However, Ye Zhao, the national thief, killing the national thief is the righteousness, if the lord is willing to send troops, he will be a model for the world! ”

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu: "......"

Play...... It's a bit too much.

Tian Feng looked at Guo Tu with a little pity: "Gong Ze is a famous person in Yingchuan, and he is also well-informed, how can he speak like this...... Pure? ”

Countless grains and grass, soldiers and horses were consumed, and he went to Guanzhong to fight an unpredictable battle, and in addition to adding some fame to Yuan Shao, there was no benefit, with Yuan Shao's identity, he also needed fame?

"What do you think of Bonghyo?" Yuan Shao shook his head, turned his head and smiled at Guo Jiadao, who was speechless on the side.

"Ye Zhao has a great victory, I don't know how Shuzhong has been in these years, but just in Guanzhong, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, with Ye Zhao's ability to command the army, don't say that now our army's labor division expedition is just in front of it, and our army may not be its opponent." The state said indifferently.

"The lord is in the land of Sanzhou, and there are more than a million soldiers and horses under his command, how can he not be Ye Zhao's opponent?" Feng Ji frowned.

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was also flushed with a touch of displeasure.

"If there is a loss of words, Ming Gong is not strange." Seeing Yuan Shao's expression, Guo Jia got up and bowed with a smile and said, "Jia is unwell, so I will retire first." ”

"Is Feng Xiao sick? Let's go back first, and later I will call the military medicine craftsman to go to the house for diagnosis and treatment. Yuan Shao smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Ming Gong." Guo Jia saluted, turned around and left, Yuan Shao's smile gradually dissipated, Guo Jia has been under his command for several years, but he has never been commensurate with the lord, and the most important thing is that Yuan Shao can clearly feel that with the gradual expansion of his power, Guo Jia is no longer as respectful to himself as before.

"My lord, what about sending troops?" Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao and asked.

"Ping Youzhou first!" Yuan Shao waved his hand.

Attacking Guanzhong? Although Guo Jia's words are not very good, but that is the truth, who is Ye Zhao? Back then, the princes chased and intercepted in the Tiger Prison Pass and failed to put people how, and now they are running across thousands of miles to fight, not to mention the loss of grain and grass and baggage along the way, if they lose, then Jizhou's vitality may be damaged, not to mention the annexation of Youzhou, not to be swallowed by others is to burn high incense.

These scholars have been getting more and more bladder fat lately! Ye Zhao is out of Sichuan, and he actually has little to do with Yuan Shao, why should he be this leading bird?

……

Yuzhou, Xuchang!

"Xiu Ming is still out!" After Cao Cao read the battle report, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although it was expected, but choosing to go out of Sichuan at this time, Xiuming's vision is still vicious!" ”

"Recently, many people in the DPRK and China have suggested that the lord wave his troops to the west." Xun Yu looked at the letterhead and looked up at Cao Caodao.

"Westward? Where does the food come from? Yuan Shu won't take this opportunity to attack? Cao Cao sneered and said, "What do you think of Wen Ruo? ”

"As the lord thinks, now our army is not suitable for attacking Guanzhong, not only our army, but Yuan Shao is probably not willing to send troops." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "It's just that if you let the Taiwei sit firmly in Guanzhong, you will be a big enemy in the future!" ”

"Back then, Xiu Ming said that sooner or later there would be a battle between me and him." Cao Cao didn't answer, but looked at the letterhead in front of him and said with some distraction: "I didn't think about it at the time, but now it seems that this battle is really as Xiu Ming said, it is inevitable!" ”

"The minister has ordered people to go to Xiliang to unite Ma Teng, Han Sui and Hedong Wei, although it may not be able to win, but at least it can slow down its development and seize the opportunity for our army. Xun Yu nodded.

"It's a good job, in addition, the backup gift was sent to Guanzhong, although Yu Gong, I will eventually have a battle with him, and now it seems that it is difficult to talk as freely as back then, but in private, Xiuming and I are old friends after all, so I should celebrate him out of Shu." Cao Cao sighed, his former friends, after all, they have to go to the opposite side one by one, which makes Cao Cao feel a little uncomfortable.

Xun Yu nodded, and handed Cao Cao another piece of music.

"This is ......" Cao Cao took the chapter, and after reading it, he said with some doubts: "This Sun Ce is a general under Yuan Shu, how could he privately ask for the appointment of Wu Jun Taishou?" ”

Over the years, as the number of places bordering Yuan Shu and Cao Cao has increased, the friction between the two sides has also increased.

For most of the generals under Yuan Shu, Cao Cao is very disdainful, but this Sun Ce is inside and out, brave and strategic, and has failed Cao Cao's plan several times, especially among the wine bags and rice bags under Yuan Shu, this person is even more valuable.

"This son may have the heart of self-reliance!" Xun Yu said with a smile: "I think this son will not only ask for his life from the imperial court, but also ask Yuan Shu for his life to ask for the willow waist, so that there is no righteousness of the imperial court, and he will not be evil to Yuan Shu because of this, if he can really capture Wu County, maybe it is not a bad thing for the lord." ”

Compared with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Youzhou Liu Yu is probably easier to deal with for Yuan Shao, if Cao Cao can't clean up Yuan Shu as soon as possible, if Yuan Shao annexes Youzhou, Cao Cao will be sandwiched between the two Yuan, either Yuan Shao as a gunman, or become a victim of the two Yuan rivalry.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo is not afraid that this Sun Ce will become a great enemy in the future?" If he occupies Jiangdong, if our army wins in the future, it will not be easy to cross the river again. ”

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao and did not speak.

Cao Cao smiled: "Don't look like this, I know what Wen means, I can't even take care of it now, how can I talk about the future, right?" ”

"The lord is wise!" Xun Yu bowed.

"I will now go and ask Your Majesty for advice." Cao Cao got up and smiled.
