Just when Lu Bu and Cao Ying were in a stalemate at the boundary of Dongjun, the princes of all parts of the world couldn't hold back after receiving the news, as if they were stimulated, and began to move.

Chang'an: "Did Lu Bu really send troops to Yanzhou?" Li Xuan happily asked the Xiliang army in front of him.

"Returning to the general, Lu Bu sent troops to capture Nanyang, and led the cavalry from Nanyang through the land of Yuzhou, and should cooperate with the surprise attack on Puyang. Now it is said that Cao Ying has been forced to collect troops from Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou, and is rushing back to Yanzhou to prepare for a showdown with Lü Bu. The person in charge of investigating Lu Bu's military situation told Lu Bu in detail.

"Hahahaha, great! Lu Bupifu is finally dispatched, and we can finally show our skills!! Li urged himself to get up and looked up to the sky and laughed.

Guo Yan, who was beside Li Xuan, stroked his beard and condensed his eyebrows and said: "Brother Li, please don't be happy too early, according to the news I got now, there is an undercurrent rolling in Chang'an City, and Niu Fu is not convinced that my brothers control most of the military power in Chang'an, and now they are secretly colluding with some ministers in the DPRK and China." Although I don't know what they are discussing, I think their purpose is nothing more than the distribution of military power to the more than 200,000 Xiliang troops in Chang'an, or "

Li Xuan's face sank: "Or is it calculating the two of us?" ”

Guo Yan didn't speak, just nodded.

Li Xuan smiled coldly: "Hmph, this Niu Fu hasn't been kicked in the head by a donkey, right?" Doesn't he know that in the eyes of those ministers of the DPRK and China, no matter how different we are, or whether we are good or evil, we will never be able to take off the hat of Xiliangjun?

The minister's ultimate goal is by no means just to eradicate the two of us and cultivate a more threatening Niu Fu, all those people want is the Xiliang Xiong soldiers in our hands! What they want is the power of me, you, and Niu Fu combined! If you cooperate with them, even if you can kill you and me in the end, will he be able to survive alone? Hum! Stupidity!! ”

Guo Yan said helplessly: "Niu Fu is the son-in-law of the ancestor after all, we"

Before Guo Yan could finish speaking, Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous aura: "What about the son-in-law of the first master?" After all, the ancestor has been poisoned by Lu Bu, and this Niu Fu has been messing with the Manchu Dynasty minister all the time, but how could he ever have the idea of avenging the ancestor master?

And he, Niu Fu, not only didn't want to avenge the ancestors, but also obstructed you and me from unifying the military power of the Xiliang Army in Chang'an all the time. If the two of us can get all the military power of Chang'an as soon as possible, will Hangu Pass be lost? Will my poor nephew still be missing? Now if Hangu Pass is not lost, and Lu Bu sends troops to fight Yanzhou and Cao Ying, wouldn't we be able to take the opportunity to enter Luoyang and regain the hegemony of the ancestors?

Hmph, I don't care what you think. However, this Ushisuke is now in my way. If you don't get rid of this Niu Fu, I will not be at ease! There is also that Fazheng, if he knows the current affairs after Niu Fu's death, I can leave him a surname and let him work for me, otherwise I can only let him accompany Niu Fu to Huangquan for a while! ”

Hebei Jizhou Huguan outside dozens of miles of boundary.

"Lu Bu actually captured Nanyang?! No way! When pigs fly!! Even if Yuan Shu is useless, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can Lu Bu capture Nanyang so quickly? Moreover, after Lu Bu captured Nanyang, he only made a one-day stay and passed through Yuzhou to attack Yanzhou, was he not afraid that Yuan Shu would retaliate from Huainan and attack Nanyang County with heavy troops? This is simply ridiculous!! Yuan Shao said angrily in the big tent of the Chinese army.

In terms of history, the Hebei strategist group lacking Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Xu Yu became the chief strategist under Yuan Shao's account. Seeing Yuan Shao's monstrous anger, he persuaded very calmly: "The lord should know what the surname of your younger brother is, don't look at the Yuan Highway who has just sent the message to the people of the world that he will never ally with Lu Bu."

But according to the opinion of his subordinates, the reason why Lu Bu occupied Nanyang so easily this time, and led the army through Yuzhou to attack Yanzhou Puyang without any worries, the tenth ** Yuan Highway has secretly traded with Lu Bu and reached an alliance with Lu Bu.

It's just that Ling Zai Xia is puzzled, what means did Lu Bu use to make Yuan Highway incredibly cede Nanyang County! If Lu Bu used any money, unless Lu Bu used the amazing money left by Emperor Ling and Dong Zhuo, his subordinates really couldn't think of anything else that Lu Bu could make Yuan Shu so willing to hand over Nanyang. ”

Yuan Shao sighed lightly: "No matter what Yuan Shu, this unsuccessful guy, gave up Nanyang for, our original plan to attack Lu Bu from several sides has almost failed.

At this time, the only way is to take advantage of the fact that Cao Ying and Lu Bu's main forces have not yet decided the victory in Yanzhou, and do their best to attack Huguan, even if we can't get Sizhou and Luoyang in the end, we must at least get the state, otherwise won't it make the world laugh at us and return empty-handed? ”

The judge asked with some hesitation: "But the cavalry troops under the command of Huang Zhong, the general under Lu Bu, and the famous man Xu You, have been interfering with our siege with all their might, and there are too few cavalry in our army, so we can only use General Liyi's first army to restrain the cavalry of the state army a little, but once it falls into a siege battle, General Liyi's first army is afraid that it will not be able to take care of those cavalry, in case."

Yuan Shao slapped his fist and high-fived, as if he had made some major decision, and said: "When we come to attack the city, the first army does not have to participate in the battle, although Huguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but hundreds of thousands of Hebei soldiers of our army, I don't believe that under the strong attack regardless of casualties, I can't capture a small Huguan!" ”

Huainan Shouchun.

"Good! Well played!! Hahahaha, this Lu Bu is still a believer, saying that it is really not ambiguous to fight Cao Ying, and he directly sent troops across Yuzhou, and rushed thousands of miles to raid Yanzhou, so that Cao Ying, who had already hit Pengcheng City, had to collect his troops and return to Yanzhou to fight with him.

Hehehehe, Xuzhou, who has just suffered from the consumption of Cao Ying's troops, is not going to become my Yuan Highway's bag? The jade seal of the country is really extraordinary! This is probably what God predestined, right? God bless me Yuan Highway! Why worry about the great cause? Hahahaha" Yuan Shu held the brocade box containing the jade seal of the country in his hand, and laughed like a madman.

"Congratulations to the lord for his success!"

"The lord will rule the world! Achieve the foundation of the world! ”

"The lord is wise and martial, and it is inevitable that God will protect the lord."

Zhang Xun, Chen Lan, Lei Tong and others at the bottom saw that Yuan Shu was happy, and hurriedly used their respective 'sweet mouths' and began to slap Yuan Shu's ass.

Ji Ling held his mouth at Zhang Xun and the others with great disgust, and with Ji Ling's surname, he really couldn't say those meaty words that made goosebumps straighten.

But the strange thing is that although Yuan Shu likes to listen to those words, what is surprising is that Yuan Shu is different from Yuan Shao, he attaches the most importance to a person's talent.

"Ji Ling listens to orders!" Yuan Shu was comfortably photographed by Zhang Xun's horses, but when it came time to appoint the general, the first person to shout was Ji Ling, who didn't say a word in the crowd over there.

"The subordinates are here!" Ji Ling was in the eyes of jealousy and resentment of Zhang Xun and others.

"Let you be the main general, lead the army of 270,000 points to attack Xuzhou in seven ways, this expedition must take the entire territory of Xuzhou to me!" Yuan Shu still trusts Ji Ling very much, in his opinion, whether it is arranging troops or going head-to-head in front of the formation, this tiger general under his command is the only treasure he can handle.

"Obey the orders of the Lord's army!!" Ji Ling's eyes flashed with excitement, and he shouted resolutely with all his strength

Pengcheng, Xuzhou.

"My lord! Lord!! It's a big deal!! ”

Cao Bao wore his battle helmet crookedly, shouting all the way into Tao Qian's Assassin's Mansion, and all the servants who blocked his way were overturned to the ground by him.

"Ahem, what's so flustered?"

After just driving away Cao Ying's revenge army, the spiritual pillar that had been supporting Tao Qian seemed to collapse suddenly, and Tao Qian's body quickly weakened during this time.

And Cao Bao's shouting made Tao Qian break out in a cold sweat: Cao Bao was so flustered when Cao Ying attacked Xuzhou, could it be that Cao Ying abandoned Yanzhou and reflexively killed back to Xuzhou?

"My lord! The enemy is coming!! Cao Bao pounced on Tao Qian's side and said the last thing Tao Qian wanted to hear!

"Cao, Cao, is Cao Ying here again?" Tao Qian's face turned pale with fright, thinking that no matter who could have the last laugh between Lu Bu and Cao Ying, Xuzhou would at least be able to recover for a while. outcome

"Uh, no, it's not Cao Ying! It's not Cao Ying who came this time" Cao Bao was confused by Tao Qian's words just now, how did he get to Cao Ying?

"Not Cao Ying? Whew, that's good. "The name Cao Ying has become a 'pain' in Tao Qian's heart, as soon as he heard that it was not Cao Ying, for some reason Tao Qian suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

"This time it's Yuan Shu's hundreds of thousands of troops." Cao Bao said very unbearably.

"Huh! Burst!! ”

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the enemy who came this time was Yuan Shu, who was more powerful than Cao Ying, Tao Qian only felt a burst of tightness in his chest because of the repeated gap in shock and joy, and a mouthful of blood instantly spurted out of his mouth

Qingzhou Beihai.

"Hey, aren't you the messenger who went back to Xuzhou last time? How to come back again? Did Cao Ying go and come back? Liu Bei looked at the Xuzhou sergeant in front of him in surprise.

The soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said very embarrassedly: "Liu Envoy Jun Rongyu, Cao Ying's thief led a large army to slaughter the people of Xuzhou last time, but fortunately, Luoyang Lu Hussars helped him, and he was lucky to force him back to Yanzhou."

But the family and the country are unfortunate, this just drove away the evil wolf Cao Ying, but there is Yuan Shu, the cannibal tiger! Tao Thorn Shi is frail and sickly, and he has no intention or strength to defend Xuzhou. I heard that Liu Yuanjun has always been rumored to be benevolent and righteous, and Tao Tingshi wanted to invite Liu Yuanjun to come to Xuzhou to take charge of 100,000 male soldiers and report peace for the people of Xuzhou! ”

"What do you say!! Tao Tingshi wants me Liu Bei to go to Xuzhou to accept 100,000 male soldiers? What does that mean? Liu Bei asked in surprise.

The messenger replied softly: "Tao Thorn Shi is already terminally ill, but he feels that his two sons can't resist Yuan Shu.

And Tao Tingshi didn't want the people of Xuzhou to fall into the mouth of Yuan Shu, a tiger and wolf, to suffer, so he wanted to transfer Xuzhou Tingshi to Liu Yuanjun and let Liu Zhijun be the lord of Xuzhou. ”

"Big brother, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again!" Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he leaned into Liu Bei's ear and whispered.

"You go to the post house to rest, and I will discuss Xuzhou matters later." Liu Bei did not respond immediately, but first asked the envoy from Xuzhou to go to the post house to rest.

After Zhang Hezhi retreated, he asked suspiciously, "Isn't the eldest brother's dream to restore the Han Dynasty?" Xuzhou just gave such a good opportunity, why didn't the eldest brother promise it? ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I waited for so many years to have such a territory as Beihai County. Now Xuzhou has the army of Huainan Yuan Shu to press the border, if we hurriedly lead the army into Xuzhou, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of horses in our hands will not be able to withstand the consumption of Yuan Shu. ”

Guan Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother is too worried, although our army is small, all of them are elite, although Yuan Shu is numerous, most of them are rabble, not to mention that there are still 100,000 county soldiers in Xuzhou to help him at this time, if he sends troops to defeat Yuan Shu at this time, it will not be a problem."

But once we sit back and watch Yuan Shu and Xuzhou fight, and no matter whether there is such an opportunity in the future, even if there is a chance, but there is no good general to command the Xuzhou sergeant, I am afraid that Yuan Shu's vitality will be greatly injured, right? At that time, only the strength of our army can fight against Yuan Shu, even if it wins, how can it resist Cao Ying or Lu Bu in the west? ”

"This" Liu Bei was still a little hesitant, after all, his current territory was not just a plain county like history, but Beihai, which had been governed by Kong Rong for decades, and his material resources and troops were okay! Once you make a wrong move, I am afraid that I will start a miserable wandering career again.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!!"

Liu Bei raised his hand and signaled Guan Yu and Zhang He not to speak: "Don't talk about it." Come! Go to the general's division and invite it. I still have to talk about this kind of important matter with the military advisor. ”

When it came to the military advisor, Guan Yu's face was slightly disdainful, but Zhang He seemed to be relieved.

A moment later, a scribe in a Confucian robe walked slowly into Liu Bei's mansion with small and precise steps.

"See the lord."

"Sir, don't be polite, please be seated." Liu Bei pointed to the empty seat on his right hand and said to the man.

The scribe knelt down beside the desk and said with a smile: "I wonder what happened when the lord summoned me this time?" ”

"The last time Xuzhou asked me to share Cao Ying, I promised to help him. He thought that Luoyang Lu Bu would attack Cao Ying's back road, and Cao's trip to Xuzhou when he hurriedly retreated would be over. But Xuzhou has just been flattened and rising, Yanzhou Cao Ying is gone, but Huainan Yuan Shu, who is more powerful than Cao Ying, is here.

Tao Gongzu is very old, and now he sent someone to persuade me to go to Xuzhou to help him resist Yuan Shu, and as a reward Tao Gongzu is willing to give me the position of Xuzhou Thorn History. I really can't make up my mind whether to go to Xuzhou or not, and my gentleman is very intelligent and hopes to think about it for me. Liu Bei looked at the thin black scribe earnestly.
