Xie Zhen and Zhou Yi's performance was not unexpected by Xu Chu, because both of them were children of the scholar clan, so they naturally worked against Dong Zhuo and got along with Yuan Shao. Taking a step back, even if they don't make a positive statement, they will not obstruct or oppose Xu Chu's army. In fact, the substantive support that Zhou Yi and Xie Zhen can provide is very limited, and the main role is to help Xu Chu stabilize the 'county heart', so that Xu Chu can go on the expedition without distraction.

Although the support they could provide was limited, Zhou Yi and Xie Zhen still contacted a group of scholars from their county and even their state, and gathered some weapons, grain and grass to support Xu Chu.

Looking at Jizhou again, after Han Fu received the transfer letter from the three princes, as expected by Xu Chu, Guo Jia and others, the six gods summoned everyone to engage in deliberations and asked: "When the military disaster arises, should I help Dong's family?" Or should he help Yuan Shihu? ”

Liu Ziyi, who was engaged in state governance, couldn't listen to it, and bluntly retorted: "Xingbing is for the country, why do you come to Yuan and Dong Zhi to say!" Then he suggested that Han Fu said: "The soldiers are in danger of the world, Ming Gong can't be the leader, now it is advisable to wait and see the movements in other states, if there are pioneers, Ming Gong is not too late to start again." And once the heroes rise together, they will enter Sizhou in the east, with the wealth of Jizhou and the prestige of Ming Gong, no one can compare with the merit of Ming Gong. ”

Han Fu thought so, so he wrote a book and sent it to Bohai County, saying that Dong Zhuo's sin was guilty, and he was willing to take Yuan Shao as the leader and listen to his army.

Later, when Xu Chu heard about this, his brain suddenly deserted, and he thought: No wonder when I played the game, your Han Fu's ability value would be so low.

first imprisoned Yuan Shao, then monitored and obstructed Yuan Shao, and when the big event came, he took Yuan Shao as the leader and obeyed his orders. Han Fu is anticlimactic, he is out of control, it is strange that he can keep Jizhou.

Without the constraints of Han Fu and the obstruction of 'righteousness', Yuan Shao was expected to return, and he had been gathering momentum for a long time, and suddenly went to sea like a dragon, and quickly recruited a large number of soldiers, and recruited Yan Liang, a native of Linyi County, and two fierce generals of Xinzheng County, who were in Bohai County, and then took Jiyin celebrity Dong Zhao and Nanyang celebrity Xu Yu as military strategies, and the climate suddenly became a success.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao sent a message to all parties, such as Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Xu Chu, etc., to set the time for the army to start in the first month. and discussed with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao, and decided on the assembly place of the four garrisons. Just as Xu Chu thought in advance - Hanoi north of Luoyang, sour jujube in the northeast of Luoyang, Yangcheng in the southeast of Luoyang, and Nanyang in the southwest of Luoyang, just formed a semi-encirclement.

The preliminary verdict was that Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, Han Fu and others were stationed in Hanoi; Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, Liu Dai and other soldiers sour jujubes; Yuan Shu, Zhang Shi and other soldiers in Nanyang; Kong Ling, Xu Chu and other soldiers in Yangcheng.

Everything was decided for a while, and Cao Cao immediately sent two letters, one to Yuan Shao in Bohai County, and the other to Xu Chu in Lujiang County. What he said to Yuan Shao was that he went to Yangcheng to unite with Xu Chu, and what he said to Xu Chu was to remind Xu Chu to prepare as soon as possible and not to miss a major event.

After Xu Chu received the letter, he was excited but also a little worried, just because any alliance, regardless of whether the alliance is two or more parties, needs to elect one of them as the main one. According to fame, this 'master' is none other than Cao Cao, but when it comes to the soldiers in front of him, Xu Chu is superior. Replacing Xu Chu with Bao Xin, a hero who also knows Cao Cao's extraordinary ability, may be modestly dominated by Cao Cao, but Xu Chu has saved his own careful thoughts and is unwilling to be left behind, so the final conclusion can only be known when he knows how to learn.

Because of this, Xu Chu even sent someone to the state capital, wanting to invite Chen Wen to join the ranks of the army, in order to let Chen Wen, who is not as famous as Cao Cao and has more soldiers than Cao Cao, join it and promote Chen Wen as the head of the road. But Xu Chu also knew that it was unlikely, firstly, Chen Wen was not in good health, and secondly, Yangzhou was in an eventful time, and his relationship with Yuan Shao was not iron enough to help Yuan Shao deal with Dong Zhuo.

In addition to Chen Wen, Xu Chu also wrote to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, testing their intentions, but they were also politely refused. However, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were very useful to Xu Chu's invitation, and they said in their reply: The prince has a long way to go, and if anyone in the county makes trouble, we are willing to help your county. This is the same as He Qi, who invested a certain amount of capital in Xu Chu to seek political returns in the future.

In addition, some families from Wu Jun and Huiji also sent letters one after another, wishing Xu Chu 'success in his horse's time'; Chen Wen, Zhou Xin, and Lu Kang also sent people over to express their spiritual support to Xu Chu.

Before the battle started and not a single soldier was produced, Xu Chu felt the great benefits brought by following Yuan Shao to defeat Dong Zhuo. Thinking of the princes of the world who rose to prominence because of this matter, Xu Chu inevitably thought: I don't know what Sun Jian and Liu Bei are doing now.

......

......

Right Beiping County, Gongsun Zhan Zhongjun Big Tent.

Gongsun Zhan gently put the report presented by his subordinates on the table, and snorted coldly: "Yuan Shao prides himself on being talented, but he doesn't know that Dong Zhongying is fierce and ruthless, hehe, I'm afraid it's a vain pleasure." ”

One of the people in the tent had long arms and big ears, and his posture was extraordinary, and he said: "Bogui, are you saying that Yuan Benchu can't win?" ”

Gongsun Zan followed the sound and looked, but it was Sima Liu Bei under the account.

Gongsun Zhan is a very dignified person, decisive in killing, extremely ruthless in dealing with foreign races, and the subordinates who dare to call him his cousin can be counted on one hand, including Liu Bei, who studied with Lu Zhi with him in the early years. Liu Bei, like Gongsun Zhan, although they both studied under Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi didn't necessarily know that he had a disciple named Liu Bei. Because Gongsun Chan was a noble child, he married the daughter of the county Taishou as his wife, and his father-in-law recommended Lu Zhi as a teacher. In Liu Bei's family, only his grandfather Liu Xiong was promoted as filial piety, and he served as a county commander, and by the time Liu Bei was already unknown, he was even more impoverished in his early years, weaving mats and selling shoes for a living.

After Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan praised his courage and expressed him as Sima of other departments to participate in the military, so that Liu Bei was able to enter the Chinese army's big tent. Also in the account is the general Shi Guanjing.

Guan Jing replied for Gongsun Zhan: "Xuande doesn't know, Dong Zhuoxiong is in danger of the eight passes, and the elite soldiers under his command have no calculation, how can they win with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other rabble?" If you really want to win, you have to be there for the general himself. ”

Gongsun Chan laughed, "Guan Junxiu wants to talk nonsense!" ”

Liu Bei was thinking in his heart: Yuan Shaofa Dong, let alone victory or defeat, just looking at it, it is really an opportunity for the big husband to become famous! If I can say that Gongsun Bogui will raise troops, I can also relax my chest and be proud!

He stood in the tent and solemnly bowed to Gongsun Zhan: "Bogui, the immortal merit is just around the corner, why don't you go south and march into Sizhou with Yuan Benchu!" ”

Gongsun Chan laughed and laughed, "Xuande, Xuande, you really let ...... Let me really say what are you doing, do I smoke now? ”

Guan Jing echoed: "What the general said is very true, the disaster of the foreign race has not yet been settled, and the general is shouldering a great responsibility, how can he leave Youbeiping lightly?" ”

Liu Bei was speechless, sat quietly for a while, and suddenly remembered a person, and his heart was stirred: I heard that Xu Zhongkang, the hero of Peiguo, was becoming more and more famous at the beginning, and now he is also involved in this matter. He can lead his troops east into Luoyang to show his ambitions, although I Liu Bei has no soldiers and no horses, but I also have Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two brothers who are heart-to-heart and invincible, follow...... Yes, there are Yun Chang and Yide, where to go in the world!

"Bogui, Guan Changshi, has made up his mind, and wants to go to the Central Plains to join the army, repay the country's kindness, and get rid of the national thieves!"

Gongsun Chan and Guan Jing were dumbfounded, and after a long time, Gongsun Chan said: "Even so, my brother will not stop you." For the white horse under the command of your brother, you can choose ten people to accompany you. ”

Liu Beifu thanked him again and said, "Thank you Bogui for your kindness, I don't dare to accept it." I hope Bogui will give me three pairs of armor and three horses! ”

After getting the approval, Liu Bei immediately went out of the account, found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said his will, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also agitated, and said: "I wish to go with you!" ”
