Liu Xuan's expression was calm, and he said: "Yuan Shao suddenly entered the Plains Country and picked up a big bargain. What I think about www.biquge.info is whether we can take back the Plains Country from Yuan Shao's hands without spending a single soldier. ”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were quite shocked when they heard this.

It's not an easy thing to do without a single soldier.

Suddenly, Guo Jia's eyes lit up and asked, "Is Your Highness planning to negotiate with Yuan Shao?" Or, His Highness wants to send a man who can speak well to Yecheng to persuade Yuan Shao. ”

Liu Xuan said in a deep voice: "There is no need to persuade Yuan Shao, sending people to Yecheng is equivalent to bowing to Yuan Shao." What we have to do is to negotiate with Yuan Shao, directly release cruel words, and force Yuan Shao to come to the plain country to negotiate. ”

Jia Xu's eyes were bright, and he said, "What does His Highness mean is that he intends to force Yuan Shao on the grounds of uniting Gongsun Zhan?" ”

Liu Xuan nodded and replied: "At this time, at that time, after the current Gongsun Zhan withdrew to Youzhou, Yuan Shao outside and Liu Yu inside, and he was also in trouble. I threw out the intention of union at this time, and Gongsun Chan would not refuse. If I join forces with Gongsun Chan to flank Yuan Shao, I don't believe that Yuan Shao can sit still. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and praised: "The lord's trick is clever, and he uses his strength to fight." ”

Guo Jia also nodded.

He pondered Liu Xuan's proposal and agreed with Liu Xuan's idea.

Qingzhou is not completely in the hands of Liu Xuan, if there is a war with Yuan Shao, not only Liu Xuan, but even Yuan Shao, will be involved, and it will even cause Gongsun Chan and Tao Qian to covet, making the two of them ready to move.

The situation is further complicated by the war.

Liu Xuan wanted to resolve the matter with a heavy weight, not only to ensure the stability of Qingzhou, but also to let Yuan Shao withdraw from the army.

After making a plan, Liu Xuan arranged for Jia Xu to act.

Jia Xu mobilized the strength of Jinyiwei and passed the news to Tai Shici and Xu Huang, asking the two to inform Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran, saying that Yuan Shao would not come to negotiate, so he would join Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou.

The message was delivered quickly.

Tai Shici's strategy was very simple, pull out the soldiers under his command to come to the city, and then let the soldiers shout loudly to spread the news. Zhang Jaw got the news, knew the seriousness of the matter, and did not dare to slack off, so he sent someone to send the news back to Yecheng quickly.

On the other side, Xu Huang got the news and sent a team of archers, wrote the news on a slip of paper and tied it to the shaft of the arrow, and let the archers shoot it into Gao Lan's camp. Gao Ran, as the chief general in the army, did not dare to be dismissive when he saw the content of the news, and immediately sent someone to send the news back.

The soldiers sent by Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran rushed back as fast as they could.

……

Yecheng.

State Pastoral Office.

During this period of time, Yuan Shaochun was proud and full of ambition.

On the one hand, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan's army, completely drove away Gongsun Zhan's army stationed in Jizhou, and recaptured Bohai County from Gongsun Zhan's hands; On the other hand, Yuan Shao divided his troops to seize the plain country and took the bridgehead to attack Qingzhou. As long as Pingyuan Kingdom is in Yuan Shao's hands, he can fight Liu Xuan whenever he wants, and he can threaten Liu Xuan at any time.

Moreover, Liu Bei submitted to him.

For Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Yuan Shao had a deep impression.

Thinking that the Tiger Prison Guan Huimeng was in the beginning, Hua Xiong was arrogant and strong, and it was Guan Yu who slashed Hua Xiong with one sword.

As soon as Lu Bu came out, no one was invincible.

In the end, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought and resisted Lu Bu.

Whether it is Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, or Guan Yu, they are all good talents. Yuan Shao recruited Liu Bei's brothers, which can be described as a tiger with wings. In addition, Liu Bei served as the minister of the plains before and has a certain reputation in the plains country.

Therefore, Yuan Shao put Liu Bei in the Plains Country and let Liu Bei continue to serve as the Plains Minister. Yuan Shao did this with another layer of consideration, Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu betrayed, and Liu Bei's hatred for Liu Xuan was irresolvable.

Liu Bei stayed in the Plains Country, it was impossible for him to submit to Liu Xuan, and he would definitely resist with all his might.

In one fell swoop, Yuan Shao was happy.

"Step! Trample! ”

Suddenly, a soldier walked in from outside.

After the soldier entered, he reported: "My lord, General Zhang Jaw has urgent news to send back. With that, the soldier handed over the letter written by the open jaw.

Yuan Shao opened the letter, and after reading it, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Step! Trample! ”

Immediately afterward, another soldier walked in and arched his hand, "My lord, General Gao Ran has urgent news to send back." ”

The soldier handed the letter again.

Yuan Shao opened the letter again, and when he saw the contents of the letter, there was an angry look in his eyes, and he slapped it on the desk with a slap in anger, which frightened the two soldiers who reported the letter trembling.

Yuan Shao waved his hand, and the soldiers who reported the news retreated. He thought for a moment and commanded, "Come! ”

An attendant walked in and bowed.

Yuan Shao instructed: "Please Xu You, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Judge, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji to discuss the matter." ”

These people are Yuan Shao's main advisers.

Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, and he got all the talents of Jizhou, whether they were civil ministers or military generals, which can be described as full of talents.

It was not long before all the people came to the room.

Yuan Shao's eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "This official just got the news sent back by Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan, saying that Liu Xuan has sent a message and asked this official to withdraw from the army of the Plains Kingdom, otherwise Liu Xuan will form an alliance with Gongsun Zan and attack Jizhou together." ”

In the hall, when everyone heard this, they immediately talked about it.

One by one, their faces have changed.

Tian Feng's face was solemn, he stepped forward, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I discussed sending troops to the Plains Country before. He was opposed to it. At that time, he asserted that if Liu Xuan was in a hurry, he would definitely join forces with Gongsun Zhan. ”

"If Gongsun Chan is victorious, he will ignore Liu Xuan."

"But Gongsun Chan lost to the lord and lost to Liu Xuan, once Liu Xuan proposed an alliance, Gongsun Chan would immediately agree."

Tian Feng was righteous, and with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel, he said: "Although there are small benefits in attacking the Plains Country, but because of small losses, it will only offend Liu Xuan. Now that Liu Xuan is in Qingzhou, he can only unite, not suppress. ”

Tian Feng's words were impassioned.

At the beginning of the discussion of the strategy against Qingzhou, Tian Feng strongly opposed. Because the internal stability of Jizhou has not yet been stabilized, if the internal stability of Jizhou is even taken, it is just right to clean up Liu Xuan.

It is unwise to make enemies on all sides now.

Yuan Shao listened to Tian Feng's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Although he still had a smile on his face, he was quite blank.

Seeing Yuan Shao's expression, he secretly said that something was wrong. Tian Feng has a strong temperament, which made Yuan Shao unhappy.

Fu Zhi hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Yuan Hao, the Plains Country has been captured, and there is no point in mentioning the previous things again. He looked at Yuan Shao and changed the subject: "Lord, what is the plan of the lord about the news from Liu Xuan?" ”

After listening to Yuan Shao's frustrated words, the expression on his face recovered slightly.

Frustrated to the steps, Yuan Shao borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "This official invited the princes here just to discuss this matter. What do the princes think of Liu Xuan's threat? ”

Xu You opened his mouth and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this matter can only be negotiated peacefully. ”

Yuan Shao looked unwilling and said, "Why? ”

Xu You said: "First, Liu Xuan's army can be called elite and can fight well. Second, if Liu Xuan and Gongsun Chan unite, it will cause Jizhou's abdomen and back to be attacked. Third, the Montenegrin army led by Zhang Yan was entrenched in Changshan, Zhongshan and other places, and there were still many bandits in Zhao County and other places that had not been pacified, and these had to be exterminated one by one. At present, it is not appropriate to start a war with Liu Xuan. ”

Xu You also opposed the plan to attack the Plains Kingdom, but Yuan Shao's insistence on going his own way, coupled with the persuasion of Feng Ji and Guo Tu, led Yuan Shao to make the decision to attack the Plains Kingdom.
