Yuzhou, a treasure land, Yuan Shu has always regarded it as his back garden, and now the owner of the back garden has suddenly become someone else, so how can Yuan Shu swallow this breath.

After discussing with Sun Jian and his subordinates, Yuan Shu decided to send troops to attack the Zhou brothers again, and he must drive his forces out of Yuzhou and completely stabilize his own rear.

So, after Sun Jian rested in Luyang for a period of time, he set off again for conscription, and the destination was Yangzhai, where the Zhou brothers were currently stationed.

During this time, Yuan Shu's strength increased again.

It turned out that Liu Yu, the current Youzhou pastor, had an eldest son named Liu He, who had served as a waiter in Chang'an City and served the Son of Heaven.

Originally, he did a good job, but he always felt that Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, was bullied by Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't stand it, so he secretly discussed with the Son of Heaven, wanting to escape from Chang'an and contact the world's heroes to rescue the Son of Heaven.

Fortunately, there are still many people in the court who are oriented to the Son of Heaven, with the support of the royalist faction led by Wang Yun, Liu He successfully escaped from Chang'an City, and did not dare to go from the road of Zheng'er Bajing, if he walked from the main road, that road could only pass through Huayin County, which was garrisoned by Duan Xuan, and then Dong Yue's garrisoned Mianchi or Niu Fu's garrisoned Anyi, no matter which of these three roads was chosen, there was a chance that he would be arrested.

Fortunately, Liu He also had the guidance of a master behind him, and he did not take the big road, did not take the short road, but went around a big circle, starting from Wuguan, taking the road to Nanyang, preparing to go around most of China and then return to Youzhou.

But the reality is always cruel, Liu He just entered the territory of Nanyang and was arrested as a spy by Yuan Shu's men. Liu He was a white-faced scholar, but he couldn't bear the fight, so he recruited everything at once, saying that he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to contact the Kwantung Coalition Army and his father Liu Yu.

When Yuan Shu's subordinates saw that the matter was getting bigger, they naturally didn't dare to hide it, so they reported the incident to Yuan Shu one by one.

After Yuan Shu listened, he suddenly felt that Liu and this buddy were also strange goods, so he detained them first, served them with good food and drink, and then sent a letter to Liu Yu, asking him to send some soldiers and horses to support him to continue his expedition north against Dong Zhuo, and faintly revealed to him the news that Liu He was in his hands.

Liu Yu is a responsible person, he just wants to do his job as a courtier, and he was scared because Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to make him the son of heaven, for fear that others would think that he wanted to be the emperor.

Now after receiving Yuan Shu's letter, he hurriedly expressed his attitude to Yuan Shu, indicating that he supported Liu Xie, the son of today, and sent 5,000 cavalry under his command to Nanyang, handed it over to Yuan Shu's commander, and asked Yuan Shu to continue to fight with Dong Zhuo with his men and horses.

Liu Yu is willing to throw his head and spill blood for the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, but some people don't do it!

Gongsun Zhan, this buddy, didn't want Liu Yu to use Youzhou's strength to support others, and it was almost the same to support himself, so he suggested to Liu Yu that he should not send troops to support Nanyang Yuan Shu.

Liu Yu belongs to the kind of character who insists on Qingshan and does not relax, how can he listen to Gongsun Zhan's words, you must know that in order not to be made the son of heaven by Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others, this buddy also threatened to go to the Xianbei grassland to be accompanied by cattle and horses, and his bags were packed, and he was ready to set off at all times, if he hadn't been stopped by his subordinates in time, maybe he would have been grazing horses and sheep in a corner of the prairie now.

And Gongsun Zan saw that Liu Yu resolutely sent people to support Yuan Shu, and he couldn't lag behind as Yuan Shu's ally, and he was afraid that his ally Yuan Shu would blame him for saying bad things in front of Liu Yu, so he sent his brother Gongsun Yue to lead more than a thousand cavalry to Nanyang with a large group of men and horses, so as not to offend Yuan Shu too much.

Yuan Shu was very happy at this moment, he didn't expect that he had the intention to plant flowers and flowers, and he didn't intend to plant willows and willows, and it took the boss's efforts to get more than 5,000 cavalry, and after handing them over to Sun Jian, they were all explained by Sun Jian, but he didn't expect that now he can exchange more than 6,000 cavalry with a letter, this is not a pie in the sky, a business without a book.

Gongsun Yue is also a good leader of the cavalry, once followed Gongsun Zhan to the south and the north to fight, and made countless meritorious contributions, now since the cavalry march of the brigade naturally has to choose a person as the commander of the cavalry, so Gongsun Yue was appointed as the commander of the 6,000 cavalry.

When Gongsun Yue came to Nanyang with more than 6,000 cavalry, Yuan Shu couldn't close his mouth with joy, and praised his ally Gongsun Zan for being a good comrade.

Yuan Shu's buddy was not polite, and he did not hesitate to include Liu Yu's 5,000 cavalry supporting him, and the more than 1,000 cavalry led by Gongsun Yue were still under his command, and Yuan Shu did not want to waste resources, and asked Gongsun Yue to help him train cavalry.

In the battle of Luoyang, Sun Jian lost the 5,000 cavalry of Yuan Shu's baby pimple, which of course had strong combat effectiveness and a large number of people in Xiliang, but Yuan Shu still attributed the responsibility for the defeat of the battle to Sun Jian, Sun Jian was also above board, and the manly man lost is lost, there is nothing to argue.

In view of this, Yuan Shu asked Gongsun Yue to help train the cavalry. After Gongsun Yue's training, Yuan Shu obviously felt that the combat effectiveness of this group of cavalry was much stronger than the previous cavalry, so he continued to keep Gongsun Yue under his command.

Now that Yuan Shu has decided to rectify Yuzhou and kill Yuan Shao's dog-legged Zhou brothers and Cao Heizi out of Yuzhou, he asked Sun Jian to lead 20,000 foot cavalry to Yangzhai to attack the Zhou brothers. Among them, Sun Jian, as the commander, led the foot soldiers, and Gongsun Yue led 2,000 cavalry to cooperate with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian has no objection to Yuan Shu's subordinates, after all, Yuan Shu, as the master, cannot be questioned by Sun Jian about his orders, and Sun Jian has also been fortunate to see the cavalry led by Gongsun Yue in the past few days, which does have its own uniqueness, and he does not dare to pack a ticket to say that the level of his cavalry can be higher than that of Gongsun Yue.

In this way, after Sun Jian and Gongsun Yue met in Luyang, they took 20,000 cavalry under their command with Gongsun Yue to Yangzhai to compete with the Zhou brothers and Cao Cao, vowing to drive them out of Yuzhou and regain control of Yuzhou.

Cao Cao and the Zhou brothers in Yangzhai had been waiting for a long time in Yangzhai, and Cao Cao knew in his heart that the hope of wanting to get more Yuzhou from Yuan Shu and Sun Jian was not very big, and the only result he could achieve was to drag Yuan Shu's troops in Yuzhou as much as possible, and try to delay it for a little longer, so as to give Liu Biao in Jingzhou a chance.

Sometimes the result of the war is not to win to be meaningful, but to benefit oneself in the overall situation, even if it is to lose some soldiers and horses, lose some cities, as long as it is beneficial to oneself in the overall situation, Yuan Shao can be said to have played a good move, Yuan Shu is not, not to accept the move is more troublesome.
