"Minister, edict!" Yuan Shao simply raised his hand and saluted.

Turning around, looking down at the ministers of the main hall, carrying the sword, he called: "Chen Lin! ”

"The minister is here!" Hearing this, Chen Lin immediately got up from his seat and bowed down in the hall.

"You are brilliant in writing, so you will draft a summer edict and spread it to the world!" Yuan Shao commanded.

"No!"

"Scatter!" Without looking back, Yuan Shao walked straight down the steps and headed towards the palace gate.

Looking at Yuan Shao's back, Liu Xie's face was expressionless until Yuan Shao disappeared from view. Yawned again, didn't speak, got up and left. Seeing this, the courtiers also dispersed one after another.

"Your Majesty, Che Cavalry General Dong Cheng begs to see!" As soon as he returned to the palace, it didn't take long for a confidant eunuch to come forward to report.

"Nope!" With his eyes narrowing slightly, Liu Xie pondered for a moment and said, "Let Dong Cheng go back to the house!" Stay alive! ”

......

The heavily guarded Zhao Gongba's Mansion was the center of power in the imperial court. Above the lobby, Yuan Shao summoned a group of cronies and courtiers to sit down, swept his tiger eyes, and said straight to the point: "The matter of cutting down the summer has been decided, how are the preparations?" ”

Yuan Shao's heart was becoming more and more resolute, and there were almost no opponents from top to bottom. After so many years of recuperation, the national strength is strong, and there is a lot of money and food accumulated in soldiers, horses, and horses, and no one dissuades Yuan Shao from mobilizing troops with the words "the national strength is insufficient, and the people's livelihood is withering".

In the battle of the world, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Now Yuan Zhao's direction of mobilization is either Liu Yuan, Cao Cao, or Gongsun Du who is far away in Liaodong. To fight Liaodong, the road is far and narrow, it is difficult to make profits, and it is basically undesirable. Fa Cao gave Liu Yuan the opportunity to benefit from the fisherman, but the wise man did not do it. Lianwei attacking Xia is the most suitable direction.

Needless to say, Liu Yuan, a hungry wolf, gave him a few more years to completely digest the west, then he really couldn't deal with it. In the west, he is condescending, especially if he goes east to Taihang and goes south to Youyan, the greatest pressure is his Hebei Yuan Shao.

The time is not good for oneself and benefits the enemy, but fortunately, he took the lead in setting off a war and cut down the summer several ways. Liu Yuan has to defend everywhere, as long as there is a breakthrough in one place, it will be difficult for the situation in Huxia to be stabilized. first set off Hu Xia's external troubles, and then caused his internal worries, a multi-pronged approach is enough for Liu Yuan to drink a pot.

As Yuan Shao's "big butler", he judged the list and said: "Zhao Gong, the soldiers and horses used by the Xia Dynasty, the Yedu camp is 60,000, plus the Taihang army, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Youdai, there are 100,000. The treasury has money and grain, and all kinds of ordnance, which are enough to use an army of 100,000 for a year. ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao's expression was a little excited.

Shang Shu ordered Dong Zhao to get up and said, "Zhao Gong! The minister has requisitioned 100,000 Ding Zhuang from Hebei and Qingdao counties for military use. However, seeing that autumn is approaching, I am afraid that the shortage of domestic labor will affect the agricultural time! ”

"Is this the limit in my country? Isn't it enough to cope with these 100,000 people? ”

Dong Zhao understood what Yuan Shao meant, and immediately bowed down and said, "The ministers will do their best!" ”

"What's going on with Cao Cao and Liu Biao?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Qi Zhao Gong, both sides have decided, our army moved, followed by the troops. The Covenant has been presented to the Tyranny! Guo Tu, who was in charge of liaison, responded in a row.

"Zhao Gong, our army has launched an expedition to the west, and it has almost poured the strength of the country. The country is empty, if Cao Cao is deceitful, attack me Hebei? ......It's all this time, and some people have questioned it.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao frowned, and said coldly: "Cao Mengde is not an unwise person, and he will never be like this." Moreover, if he dares to do this kind of painful and hateful thing, then Gu will not hesitate to abandon Xia and attack Wei! ”

In terms of comprehensive strength, Hebei is still much stronger than the Central Plains.

"Zhao Gong, Tian Yuanhao from Youzhou has sent news, recently, tens of thousands of Xia Riders have gathered on the side of Danhan Mountain!" Feng Ji reminded Yuan Shaodao in a deep voice.

"It seems that Hu Xia is also prepared!" Yuan Shao sighed.

"Once the war starts, the ministers are expected to be determined, and the tens of thousands of Xia cavalry will definitely go south to Youji. This is a big disaster, and we have to prevent it! Frustrated with a solemn face, he said loudly.

Yuan Shao's heart was also tight, he thought about it, and directly ordered: "The western expedition is too strong, and the cavalry has little effect. Ordered Yan Liang to lead the Jizhou Iron Cavalry, cooperate with the Youzhou garrison, and make every effort to deal with the Xia army in the north. Also, on the Wuhuan side, give Badun and all the troops Shan Yu, levy and send his subordinates, and follow our army to deal with the Xia army! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Lonely West Expedition is really our meritorious work. We need to work together to break the summer! Extinguish the summer! Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shao said in a loud voice.

"Please rest assured that Zhao Gong will go all out!" Lu Yi immediately stood up and said solemnly.

"Zhao Gong!" Xu Yu shouted, glanced around, and stopped talking.

"All of you here are lonely and good ministers, Ziyuan has something to say!" Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and pointed at the ministers.

Xu You's eyes were gloomy and compassionate, and he said lightly: "Zhao Gong is outside, be careful of the Son of Heaven in Ye Palace!" ”

"Zi is far too worried, just a child, sitting in the palace room, there are lonely eyeliners inside and outside, why worry about it!" Yuan Shao obviously didn't care much about Xu You's reminder.

"If the battle is fierce in front and the countries in the rear are in trouble, that kind of situation ......" Xu You solemnly persuaded: "Zhao Gong, you have to guard against it!" ”

"This ......" Yuan Shao's expression sank, and after thinking for a while, he said to Yuan Shang under the seat: "Xianfu, you lead the palace guards to strictly control the inside and outside, so as to prevent Xiaoxiao from making trouble!" ”

"No!"

Over the years, the Son of Heaven has "lost his mind as a plaything", the ministers are honest, and Yuan Shao's wariness of Liu Xie has indeed dropped a lot. Although no matter how you think about it, Liu Xie can't make any waves, but Xu You has reminded him like this, and he still has to express it.

"Due south, if you are alone, this Yecheng will be handed over to you. The rear is safe, and the lone can fight wholeheartedly! Looking at the trial, Yuan Shao commanded.

"Please rest assured Zhao Gong!" For Yuan Shao's entrustment of the rear, while feeling the pressure of the trial, he also felt admiration.

......

"Your Majesty, Yuan Jun has moved!" In the Weihou Mansion of Suiyang, under the greeting of the guards, Xun Yu entered Cao Cao's study, and immediately said: "Yuan Shao sacrificed the flag and swore to go to the army, personally led an army of 60,000, set off from Yedu, and marched into the state!" ”

Cao Cao's expression was solemn, and he leaned over and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Yesterday!"

"Convene Suiyang civil and military affairs in the lobby!" Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Our army, it's time to move!" ”

"No!"

In Luoyang, Cao Cao had already replenished Cao Ren to 10,000 soldiers and horses. In Suiyang, a full 50,000 troops were prepared, and a hundred battles were elite. For the western expedition, Cao Cao was also fully prepared.

Leaving Xun Yu to sit in Suiyang and dispatch everything, Cao Cao led the army westward the next day and marched towards Heluo. Coupled with the people's husband Ding Zhuang, a total of more than 100,000 people, the flag fluttering, stretching for dozens of miles before and after, the military prestige is quite impressive.

With the movement of Yuan Cao and the two sides, the land of China, which had been calm for many years, was once again shrouded in the clouds of war. The war in the north is imminent, from the grassland of Monan, to Youhe, the Central Plains of Hebei, and then to Guanzhong and Jingchu, from north to south, there will be beacons everywhere, this is a war involving the whole world.

The eyes of the people of the world are focused on this battle.
