For Yuan Shao, now is also an extremely critical moment. The war with Gongsun Chan has entered a dire situation, and most of his troops are hoarded in the north to fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Chan, if at this time, Cao Cao gives himself a knife in the back, it will really hurt his muscles and bones.

Just talking about Cao Jun's strength, even if he is overwhelmed by his own troops, he is afraid that he will not be able to take any advantage, not to mention that Cao Jun wants to sneak attack him.

Being beaten passively is much weaker than being aggressive. However, the two-front battle is definitely a bit difficult for Yuan Shao, so even though Yuan Shao is very wary of Cao Cao, from his heart, he does not plan to start it with Cao Cao.

Since he can't start a war with Cao Cao, he can only negotiate peace with Cao Jun. This is also a way out of the way, even if Yuan Shao doesn't want to, he can only make this decision.

However, Yuan Shao also had a calculation for a long time, and the current peace negotiation is just a delaying tactic. As long as Cao Cao is stabilized, then after he takes down Gongsun Zan and dominates the four states, he will have the ability to fight Cao Cao.

Now that the situation is weak, if Yuan Shao wants to negotiate peace, he needs to have enough sincerity. As for the issue of sincerity, it really made Yuan Shao worried.

Cao Cao is such a shrewd person, and the staff around Cao Cao are also smart people, especially Du Chen around him, who is a difficult master to deal with. With this master and servant, if you don't bleed, then there is absolutely no way to achieve your own ideas.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao had a headache. He didn't want to lose too much, but he also hoped that Cao Jun would be able to be more stable when he attacked Gongsun Zhan.

Things need to be faced after all, no matter how worried Yuan Shao is, he must order someone to solve it. So after thinking about it, Yuan Shao still planned to send an envoy to Xuchang to visit Cao Cao, and then discuss the matter of peace between the two families.

this day. Yuan Shao convened his ministers to discuss who to send to Xuchang to discuss the alliance with Cao Jun.

In the hall, the master and servant sat down. Looking at his team, Yuan Shao was still a little ambitious. He has a lot of soldiers and generals, if it weren't for the fetters of Gongsun Zhan. How could he bow his head to that Cao Apu.

"Lord, now Yanzhou Cao Cao is stationing troops south of the Yellow River, and he is eyeing my Jizhou, if I don't prepare in advance, Feng Zhen is afraid that Cao Cao will take advantage of the danger of others and sneak attack my Jizhou." Tian Feng stepped forward and said.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Tian Feng, and at this time, another person next to Tian Feng stepped forward and said, "What Yuan Hao said is true, now Cao Junbing has enough food. Moreover, Cao Cao took Xuzhou for a long time, presumably Cao Jun still operated Yanzhou and Xuzhou as an iron barrel. ”

"Moreover, looking around Cao Cao, there seems to be no enemy comparable to him, except for the lord who can suppress Cao Cao, the rest of the forces have Cao Cao's opponents. However, our army was fettered by Gongsun Chan, and heavy troops were hoarded in the north to fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Chan, while the southern defense was empty. If Cao Jun sneaks attack, it will definitely be impossible to prevent. ”

Everyone heard the sound and looked. It turned out to be another of Yuan Shao's advisors. And the frustrated words attracted the approval of many people.

"What a few people said is very true, Shao also thinks so, now the only way to negotiate peace with Cao Jun is to make a delay in the army, but Cao Jun has a lot of talents. Especially Taiwei Du Chen, he is a difficult guy, with this person, Shao is afraid that he will suffer. Yuan Shao said with a frown.

"Why does the lord need to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, even if that Du Chen is extremely powerful. I would like to go on for a while. Hearing Yuan Shu's words, the judge couldn't hear it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao nodded, and then said: "If that's the case, then can Zhengnan go to Yanzhou and meet that Du Silang for a while?" ”

"Return to the lord, the minister is willing to go." The judge stepped forward and said. For Du Chen, he wanted to meet him. Du Chen's reputation and achievements are a model in the hearts of everyone. And meeting Du Chen is definitely what many people want.

"My lord! Now that the war is imminent, and Zhengnan is the pillar of the army, he can't leave, so the minister is willing to go to Xuchang instead of Zhengnan to negotiate peace with Cao Jun. Tian Feng stepped forward and said.

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, then looked at the trial again, then turned his head and said: "What Yuan Hao said is good, now our first task is to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, as long as Gongsun Chan is eliminated and the four states of Jizhou are taken, I will not be afraid of him Cao Cao." ”

"Moreover, now that Zhengnan is in charge of the military, it is indeed inappropriate to leave Jizhou at such an important moment and go to Yanzhou. Since Yuan Hao is willing to go, then let Yuan Hao replace Zhengnan and go to Yanzhou to discuss with Cao Jun. Yuan Shao commanded.

Tian Feng stepped forward to receive the order, and then turned around and went down to prepare to send an envoy to Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao's actions, Du Chen didn't know at all, at this moment he was still thinking about how to give Liu Bei a headache, so that Liu Bei could not develop a stable territory, and Liu Bei had a headache.

But helplessly, he had already thought of having a headache, but he had no way to find trouble with Liu Bei. Originally, Du Chen wanted to send an army to Huainan to make trouble for Liu Bei in disguise as a bandit. But on second thought, there are no generals to send.

Liu Bei is not easy to deal with, if one is not careful, he will capsize in the gutter. Therefore, those who can be entrusted with important tasks and sent to Huainan must definitely be witty and brave, and have excellent martial arts.

Both, except for several well-known generals in Cao Jun, Du Chen could no longer find anyone who could be entrusted with important tasks. After all, going to Huainan to make trouble for Liu Bei is definitely a dangerous thing.

Liu Bei is very black-bellied, and his two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are unusually brave. So in the face of such a combination, Du Chen can't be very careful. After all, he didn't want anyone to lose their lives because of him.

And the well-known generals in the Cao army have their own personalities, and Liu Bei is not a fool, how can he not recognize several important generals of the Cao army. So there is no way, the idea can only be stillborn.

thought of many ways, but none of them were really feasible, and Du Chen had no choice but to give up in the end. At present, his primary purpose is to take care of his body first, as for Liu Bei's problem, it is better to get rid of it after Liu Bei is really a threat.

Moreover, so far, Liu Bei is not a great enemy of Cao Jun. The biggest enemy of Cao's army was Yuan Shao, who occupied Jizhou. Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao was indeed Cao Cao's most well-deserved enemy.

If you want to talk about Yuan Shao, he also has some ability. In the world's nine states, he alone occupies four states, almost half of the country. Moreover, when Yuan Shao was strong, he had hundreds of thousands of troops, and this posture was enough to stand out from the crowd.

Yuan Shao occupies a favorable position, and if his ambition is strong enough, maybe he will be able to unify the world. But in the end, he became Cao Cao's stepping stone and destroyed the foundation of the first life in his own hands.

However, this matter is not to blame others, Yuan Shaogang is stubborn and has many top strategists, but he does not use it more heavily. So that the soldiers were defeated and died, and no one else was to blame. It's strange, Yuan Shao was born in a family of eunuchs, and he lost a lot of things since he was a child.

There is no need to worry about Liu Bei's affairs every day, Du Chen's mood suddenly improved a lot, and his body gradually became stronger under the training of the enhanced version of Wufowl Boxing.

The days went by day by day, and Du Chen was repeating yesterday's events every day. Every day, except for the morning when cultivating the enhanced version of the Five Fowl Fist is a particularly important event of the day, Du Chen almost does nothing at other times.

However, in a leisurely day, it becomes a little different when a person visits Xuchang. That's right, this person is Yuan Shao's messenger, Tian Feng.

Tian Feng was ordered to come to Xuchang City, and in the face of Xuchang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, Tian Feng was somewhat shocked. The prosperity of Xuchang City in front of him made Tian Feng somewhat unimaginable. The city of Xuchang in front of him is much more prosperous than Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, in addition to prosperity, Tian Feng can also feel the prosperity of Xuchang City. The people in Xuchang City are all smiling at each other, and looking at the appearance of the people, the people in Xuchang City should be very rich. Moreover, this kind of wealth and prosperity is not only reflected in Xuchang City, but also in all parts of Yanzhou. Being able to make the people so rich is obviously the root of Cao's army's monopoly of the two states.

Compared with Cao Jun's rule, Jizhou is not as rich as Yanzhou. For this, Tian Feng was very puzzled. It stands to reason that Cao's Yanzhou is the land of four wars, and Cao Cao survived from the cracks. In the face of many strong enemies, Cao's army fought for a long time. However, in different battles, Cao Jun was able to develop the land so prosperously and strongly, which is obviously not something that ordinary people can do.

In this regard, Tian Feng treated Du Chen and Du Taiwei even better. Because after inquiry, the people of Xuchang City attributed everything to Du Chen. Whether it is the construction of a medical center or the large-scale development of commerce, it has played a decisive role in the prosperity of Xuchang City.

After several inquiries, Tian Feng also found that Du Chen's reputation among the people was much higher than that of Cao Cao. For this very strange phenomenon, Tian Feng was very puzzled.

As the so-called high merit shocks the master, Du Chen's reputation among the people is much higher than that of Cao Cao. Therefore, when Du Chen ascends to the heights, he will definitely get a response from most of the people. And in addition, Du Chen also intervenes in the military, and he can be regarded as quite authoritative in the military.

If Du Chen had the intention to rebel, he could definitely kill Cao Cao with one blow. After all, Du Chen's influence in both the civil and military is quite huge, as long as he wants to rebel, there are definitely many people in Cao Jun who will follow Du Chen.

Therefore, Du Chen is definitely a huge threat to Cao Cao. And in the face of such a threat, Cao Cao actually dared to reuse Du Chen, which is how much Cao Cao trusted Du Chen. Moreover, in addition to Cao Cao's willingness to trust Du Chen, Du Chen gave Cao Cao a great sense of trust. (To be continued......)
