Guan Yu saw that Cao Cao did not come to surrender, and knew what he was thinking in his heart, among the many princes, he could despise anyone but not let Cao Cao go, this is an ambitious guy and a hero, and he has a group of strong combat effectiveness under his command, once the consequences are unimaginable, it will at least become a stumbling block to dominate the world in the future, how can Guan Yu make him bigger and stronger, Guan Yu immediately prepared a recital for Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and the emperor gave Yuan Shao a holy decree at the first time, and the holy decree naturally mentioned the matter of surrender, In addition, he wanted Yuan Shao to raise troops to fight against Cao Cao, as the basis for his loyalty to the king, and at the same time, Guan Yu also prepared a recital for Li Dao in Chang'an, saying that he would give him a chance to change his mind regardless of his previous suspicions, and asked him to come to vote gladly, and if he dared to resist, he would definitely ask for guilt!

These two holy decrees one east and one west, soon sent out, the holy decree snow flakes seem to have to fly to the center of Jizhou Ye County, Yuan Shao used stratagem from Han Fu to seize Jizhou, his subordinates are also widely gathered talents, strategists are added a lot, there is no shortage of generals, strategists have Tian Feng, Guo Tu, trial matching, Xu You, Fu Zhu and other people assisted, military generals have Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others are loyal, it can be said that Wen has capable ministers, Wu has fierce generals, dominate Jizhou, and received the holy decree at the moment It was very unexpected, and immediately convened his subordinates to discuss, strategist Tian Feng first came out and said: "Guan Yunchang took the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and asked us to send troops to fight against Cao Cao is a plan to watch the tiger fight, and it is also our pawn, this matter is not good for us regardless of advance or retreat, and we will be the enemy of Cao Cao, and the two armies will definitely be damaged in the battle, and if we are indifferent, it will give Guan Yu the opportunity to exploit the loophole, and he can use this as an excuse to raise the teacher and ask for the guilt, even if he does not move." It's enough for the lord to put an unfaithful hat on the lord! ”

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this, and said worriedly: "What should I do like this?" ”

The advisor was frustrated and said, "This matter is not difficult! The lord should seize this opportunity to grind off the donkey, and now Cao Operation's support for Yanzhou and Dongjun has greatly increased. Another 100,000 Qingzhou troops were collected, and there was a great tendency to go down to Qingzhou and enter the Beihai Sea. Cao Cao's wolf ambitions, ambitions in all directions, if the map of Qingzhou and Beihai across the Yellow River will form a situation of confrontation with us, causing a great threat to our south, it can be said that the future is endless, rather than being passively beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack as soon as possible to clean up in him, and eliminate things in the bud, now the Son of Heaven has sent an edict to the lord to crusade against Cao Cao, and the lord should seize this rare opportunity to send troops to recruit Cao Cao, and he can achieve the order as soon as he comes. Earn the reputation of loyalty; Second, we were called to crusade against Cao Cao to do great righteousness, so we were helped by the Tao; Of the three, we can also take this opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao and capture Yanzhou and Dongjun in one fell swoop! ”

After hearing this, the strategist Xu You said: "This matter is not so simple, Cao Cao's great power is our opponent's rash take, time-consuming and laborious, even if we get Yanzhou and Dongjun, we will pay a heavy price, the lord raised a large army to the south, Jizhou is empty, and the northern Gongsun Zan will definitely take this opportunity to attack the north of Jizhou, when the lord crusades against Cao Cao is unsuccessful, and Jizhou is lost." There is no place to live, it can be said that it is not dangerous! ”

The strategist interrogated and said, "No! The lord dominates Jizhou, and the holy decree wants the lord to send troops to recruit Cao Cao because he has taken a fancy to the strength of the lord, which is also the weight of the lord. Now we should make a difference when we are strong and strong, Yanzhou is a rich land, as planned. The power of the lord will be greatly increased, and the lord will be ordered to punish the thief. How dare Gongsun Chan take this opportunity to go south? ”

Strategist Guo Tu retorted: "Otherwise! The lord has just occupied Jizhou as a strong soldier, and he is ready to go. Rash mobilization will greatly hurt the vitality, not to mention the uncertainty of victory? ”

The strategist Feng Ji came out and said: "It's too late to sit back and wait until we want to clean up, we don't plan early, can't we wait until Cao Cao becomes bigger and stronger to attack each other?" ”

The opinions of the strategists could not be unified, the opinions were different, and they argued, Yuan Shao saw that his head was suddenly big, he was originally a person who was scheming and decisive, this time the stairs became a pot of porridge, he had no idea, the strategists argued, and the generals over there were anxious when they saw this, and the general Yan Liang first came out and said: "What are you fighting for?" Don't quarrel, since the holy decree has arrived, you should follow the order, and crusade against Cao Cao, what else is there to argue! ”

"General Yan is right, so I can't do anything like this, I am afraid of wolves and tigers, at present, we have talented people and strong generals, and we are afraid that a Cao Cao will not succeed, and I just happened to have a trick with him, I want to see what wine bags and rice bags he received in Yanzhou!" General Wen Chou echoed.

After the two finished speaking, the generals Gao Ran and Zhang He all came out to express their willingness to fight, and the other generals expressed their support, and the generals almost did not have any objections, and the voices of the war were higher and higher, and the strategists were really suppressed by this wave-like shout, and the generals had some momentum, and now the group was excited, and the crowd was excited, and the aura was unprecedentedly high, and this powerful aura was released at once so that the strategists who opposed it before were like sitting on pins and needles, and they were like criminals being interrogated

Yuan Shao saw that the people who supported him accounted for the majority, and he knew what kind of decision he should make, only to see him pacing on the steps, brushing his beard, and his face suddenly became firm and said: "Do it if you follow the edict!" The order went down to Qima infantry 150,000 to conquer Cao Cao! ”

Yuan Shao wrote a reply to Luoyang on the one hand of the military order, and indicated in the letter that he was ordered to go to the crusade against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's letter soon flew to Luoyang, Emperor Xian got the reply at the first time and read it with Guan Yu to make a report, Guan Yu was happy after hearing it, Yuan Shao was ordered to crusade against Cao Cao, this move not only restrained Cao Cao, and the biggest winner of the two male rivalry is self-evident that it is himself, since there are no worries in the east, he can rest assured that the west expedition, but the letter to Li Dao has not yet been replied, He had to wait for Li Wei's reply before he could do it, but at this time he had already prepared for the worst, what was the plan? That is, to take precautions, Chen Bing's 100,000 troops are ready to go, and once Li Dao's side refuses to surrender, he can raise troops to clear him.

But said that Chang'an Li Wei received a letter from the emperor was quite unexpected, the letter actually let himself hand over the military power, surrendered with all his heart, Li Wei read, his heart was full of mixed feelings, before he listened to Jia Xu's indifference to watch the changes, to see how Guan Yu solved Luoyang's internal and external troubles, but unexpectedly Guan Yu actually succeeded in quelling Luoyang's opposition to the force, not only that, but he also won the support of the vast majority of ministers in the court, and his connections were unprecedentedly high, not only that, Guan Yu also successfully recovered the Bishui Pass, and the city defense in the east of Luoyang was more stable, Now Luoyang is completely under his control, especially the military power, Emperor Xian is just his target, everything is under his orders, this holy decree is undoubtedly his Guan Yu's idea.

If he really surrendered to the Holy Decree and handed over the military power, how would Guan Yu treat him? Is it really ignorant of past suspicions? If you hand over your military power, can you continue to be reused in the DPRK? This is obviously a bit illogical, the more Li Wei thinks about it, the more entangled he becomes, Dong Zhuo's revenge has not been avenged, how can he be so attached to Guan Yu? If he wants to avenge Dong Zhuo, how can he bow to the enemy? Bow your head in time, will Guan Yu let himself go?

This sudden change made Li Dao fall into contemplation again, this matter is too strange, which one is Guan Yu playing this time? If you want to recruit yourself, even if you lead your troops to attack, if you want to reconcile with yourself, you don't have to spend so much trouble, the only explanation is to salute first and then soldier, Guan Yu keeps a hand, he may have his concerns.

Li Wei couldn't make a fuss about this and found Jia Xu to discuss, Jia Xu read it and said that Li Dao said: "Guan Yu this is the first salute and then the soldiers, he must have sent a letter to the other princes at the same time as he wrote a letter to the lord, Guan Yu did not dare to take it easily because he was worried that he would move, Cao Cao in the east would take advantage of this to attack Luoyang, or worried about Yuan Shu in Nanyang, in short, he did not act rashly, but sent a holy decree to the general, the Son of Heaven to order the heroes, if there is disobedience, it is disloyal, and the will will be done, I think if Guan Yu appeases the peripheral princes of Luoyang, he will definitely come to take Chang'an, because in his opinion, the general is definitely his number one enemy, especially now that Guan Yu has successfully calmed down the situation in Luoyang, the western expedition will definitely be put on the agenda, Guan Yu's holy decree this time is nothing more than a delaying strategy, if the general is happy to vote, Guan Yu can take the three auxiliary towns without spending a single soldier, so that he does not have to worry about other princes attacking Luoyang, but I think Guan Yu must have made another plan, that is, to be ready to use force against the lord at any time, As long as the time is right, he will definitely personally lead his troops to attack! ”

"Looks like there's only one battle between us!" Li Wei got up and said after hearing this, his expression solemn.

Jia Xu then persuaded: "Guan Yunchang is now strong and strong, and his subordinates have gathered a group of talents, Guan Yu's power is not a general's enemy, if he really raises troops to recruit us, I'm afraid Chang'an will not be protected!" We have no chance of winning at all, the biggest possibility is nothing more than sticking to it, rather than this, it is better to be obedient to him, so as not to use the pain of the sword, not to mention that now Guan Yu has represented the imperial court, we will not lose face if we submit to him, Guan Yu gave the general a step this time, the general must not miss the opportunity! ”

After hearing this, Li Wei continued worriedly: "Although I am not Guan Yu's opponent, I still have 80,000 soldiers and civilians in my hands, this is a lot of strength, so I gave it away, wouldn't it be cheaper for Guan Yu this kid?" I'm unwilling! Besides, our enmity has not yet been resolved, what will happen to him if I really submit to him? ”

"If you don't return to obedience, the general can do the most difficult fight with Guan Yu, if the general really wants to go to war with Guan Yu, don't compete with him for strength, we are not his opponent at all, so for today's plan, the general only needs to do it with Guan Yu, focus on defense, supplemented by offense, avoid frontal conflict, rely on the fortifications in the Sanfu area and Guan Yu, as long as our main force still exists, Guan Yu's heart will always be concerned by the general, as long as the general can deal with Guan Yu for a while, not afraid of Luoyang side without any changes, At that time, as long as the war in the east resumes, at that time, there is no need for the general to work hard Guan Yu will naturally retreat, as long as he retreats like this, the general can lead his troops to pursue and defeat Guan Yu, after Guan Yu retreats to Luoyang, the general must not let him develop strength, and he must attack Luoyang from the west, so that Luoyang is deeply caught in the east and west, Guan Yu is attacked by the enemy, as long as such a situation happens, it is impossible for Guan Yu to be dangerous! Therefore, if the general wants to turn defeat into victory, this is the only way! Jia Xu then persuaded Li Wei. (To be continued......)
