Just when Wang Xu quietly returned to Jingnan and prepared to send troops to Yuzhang, the Central Plains also underwent great changes. The princes from all walks of life scattered back to various places one after another, and the alliance against Dong collapsed. In order to protect themselves, Haoqiang from all over the world have looked for people to rely on, and the most popular of them are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two famous disciples. The rest of the powerful princes also formed alliances one after another, and gradually formed two circles.

One is based on Yuan Shao, and the other is based on Yuan Shu. Even Cao Cao, although he was already disgusted with both of them, still had to temporarily adapt to current events and chose to side with Yuan Shao. After he was the first to leave the Dong Alliance in early April, he went to Yangzhou Lujiang, Danyang and other places to recruit troops, and received strong support from Yangzhou Assassin Shi Chen Wen, Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin and others, and his momentum was strong, and in late May, he couldn't help but return to the north.

But in fact, the Yuan family was destroyed, and when there was chaos today, both of them no longer had the heart to support the Han family. With Yuan Shao's desire to establish Liu Yu as the emperor, Yuan Shu was strongly opposed, and called on all over the country to boycott it. The two people, who already had a bad relationship, suddenly became like fire and water. Yuan Shao wanted to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor, so as to control the world. Yuan Shu, on the other hand, rose to be self-reliant, and did not want Yuan Shao to live above him anymore.

The confrontation between the two made the Central Plains shape even more nervous, you protect this as the history of the assassination, I will protect that as the Taishou, often there are several people in an official position, but unfortunately most of them have no real power. The people who are actually in power, except for powerful princes like Wang Xu, still rely on the appointment of vacancies by the imperial court, and most of them support officials appointed by the imperial court themselves.

After all, the 400-year rule of the Han Dynasty is deep-rooted, and the people and the vast majority of officials in the contemporary era have no news or reports, and they can't see what the court is really doing. When the imperial court appointed an official to come over and say that he was ordered to stabilize the situation, he naturally accepted it. It's just these officials recruited by the imperial court. Most quickly disobeyed. Either stand on your own, or choose a powerful prince to cling to.

Dong Zhuo would not be stupid enough to cut the official position of a powerful prince like Wang Xu and interfere with what he already mastered. That not only does not have any effect, but instead creates a mortal enemy, which is meaningless. He is now just a powerful man who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, except for the area around Si Li, which is his control range, and the others do not obey the call. Only a few loyal princes, or princes with various schemes, were likely to pay tribute. And nominally, it is still a tribute to the little emperor, but it is equivalent to being occupied by Dong Zhuo as his own!

Regarding the change of shape into the current state, Wang Xu certainly knew in his heart that the general trend of history has not changed much, which is something to be happy about. Because that's the only way. can roughly predict the future, and the advantage is not a little bit. And for the time being, this kind of chaos is also unwanted, and the more you fight, the better, then no one will take care of your own idle affairs here.

As for Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, he didn't dare to say anything. is also a thorn history, but he does not have the skill and ability of Liu Biao, and the six counties of Yangzhou are independent. He has only one nominal watchdog. Relying on the assassination of the history of the office. and the little supply given by the six counties according to the regulations to develop, and now it is a bit of a matter of obeying Yuan Shao's orders.

And Wang Xu raised troops on the grounds that Wang Mastiff had obstructed the Dong Alliance. and promised to only beat Wang Mastiff, but Yuan Shao ignored it, how could Chen Wen dare to stand up and slap Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong Alliance? Moreover, in this case, he had no reason to call on the counties of Yangzhou to send troops.

It can be said that Guo Jia's plan is only a small means. However, according to the current situation, it went straight to the key point, laying the conditions for the army to attack Yuzhang logically. However, Liu Biao has not heard from him for a long time, seeing that it is the third day of the sixth month, and it is less than five days before the set date of dispatching troops, but there has been no news about the matter......

Jingbei, Xiangyang Thorn Mansion......

Liu Biao sat on the bed in his study, looking at the few scribes sitting below with a worried face. After a long time, he slowly fixed his gaze on the person on the left, and sighed softly: "Xeno! Wang Xu's time to send troops is approaching, if he doesn't reply to the letter, with his temperament, I am afraid that he will attack the three counties south of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia. Before, you said that it was not time to make a decision, but now there are only five days left, and with the time to prepare, it is urgent! ”

was asked by Liu Biao by name, but Kuai Yue was not in a hurry to answer, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and after contemplating for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly replied: "Lord, in fact, you should borrow the way." ”

"Huh?" Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, he thought he was going to persuade him to go to war, but he didn't expect this to be the result. Immediately, I couldn't help but wonder: "Since you should borrow the Tao, why don't you make a decision earlier, but put it off until now?"

"Huh!" Hearing this, Kuai Yue smiled slightly, finally raised his head, and turned his head to Liu Biao. "My lord, I said before that the time had not yet come, because I couldn't be sure whether I should start a war with Wang Xu."

"Oh? So why is it decided not to go to war now? Liu Biao said strangely.

"Because of the shape of the Central Plains!" Kuai Yue didn't sell Guan Zi anymore at this time, looked back at the people in the hall, and quickly continued: "I persuaded the lord not to reply before, but to wait for the changes in the Central Plains. If it is unfavorable, then fight. ”

What he said really made people more confused the more they listened, and Liu Biao suddenly frowned suspiciously: "It's advantageous, but it doesn't fight." Unfavorable, but at war with it? What makes sense? ”

Kuai Yue suddenly smiled and shook his head: "This profit, not Bi Li!" If the development of the Central Plains is beneficial to me, then we should not fight with Wang Xu, let him attack Yuzhang, and we will find an opportunity to attack Nanyang. If the development of the Central Plains is not good for us, then we must fight a decisive battle with Wang Xu, this son is proficient in the way of war, and he must be eliminated first. He wants to use Yuan Shu's opportunity in Nanyang to contain us and others, but we can also convince Yuan Shu to form an alliance, and it will be easier than him. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Biao was already enlightened, and couldn't help asking: "Then I don't know what is advantageous and what is disadvantageous?" ”

Hearing this, Kuai Yue did not hesitate, and then replied: "The advantage, but the princes are fighting endlessly, and Yuan Shu is implicated. If it is unfavorable, the princes will die down and be content in various places! Now that the princes are chaotic and have disputes with each other, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are even more brothers, and Yuan Shu intends to develop in Yuzhou, and has sent troops to occupy Runan and other places. This is a great time, so you shouldn't fight Wang Xu. Instead, it provoked Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to fight against each other. At that time, we can also take advantage of the situation to attack Nanyang. ”

With Kuai Yue's words, Liu Biao's face also showed a little joy, but then he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said worriedly: "Having said that, if the north does not start a war for a long time, and Wang Xu has already won Yuzhang." What should I do? ”

"Hahaha! The lord doesn't need to worry too much, it is already the beginning of June, and if Wang Xu wants to pacify Yuzhang, it will take one to two months no matter how soon he wants. By that time, the soldiers were already tired, and it was the end of autumn, and it was impossible to raise troops again. Even if we raise troops, what do we have to fear in the face of the tired soldiers from afar? Then, when the middle of winter arrives, it is even more unlikely. If it is already a war outside, it is still helpless, but the winter point will send troops, which is really unprecedented. The soldiers think of returning, the soldiers suffer from the cold, and the soldiers have no heart to fight. The consumption of materials is also several times that of normal days. He, Wang Xu, would really commit this soldier's taboo? ”

As he spoke, Kuai Yue was already holding his beard under his chin. "Therefore, even if he wants to raise troops again, it will be in the early spring of next year," he asserted. At that time, the north must have already had a result, we only need to defend according to the danger, delay the time, and after the Nanyang is harvested, we can make a good alliance with the north, and then we can return to the army and fight to the death! ”

"Xenomorph is a good plan!" Liu Biao finally nodded with satisfaction at this moment, and slowly put his heart down.

However, the scribe opposite Kuai Yue couldn't help but reminded loudly: "But Wang Xu is good at fighting, and he is afraid that it will not be so easy to defend against danger, not to mention that he has to divide his troops to the north." ”

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Kuai Yue immediately burst out laughing, and said disapprehantly: "Wang Xu's confidant Wenchen military generals, most of whom are from the north, are used to cavalry, and are used to foot soldiers, and almost do not know how to fight in water. Could it be that you haven't paid attention to it, Jingnan has no water army so far? Only Dong He and Gong Qiu said that the two of them knew a little about water warfare, but in their environment, they seemed to ignore this matter, and they really brought about their own defeat! When the time comes, we will give up the area south of the Yangtze River and block the Yangtze River ferry, will he Wang Xu still be able to fly over? Let him slowly train the water army! ”

"Uh...... This! Hehe...... Hahahaha! Being reminded by Kuai Yue, the other people who were puzzled also suddenly noticed this, looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help laughing......

At this moment, Wang Xu, who was far away in Jingnan, of course, did not know that his biggest weakness had been discovered, and was quietly waiting for the coming of the expedition. Every day, I looked around when I had nothing to do, visited various homes, and Cai Yong also went there a few times. Their family is doing quite well now, Cai Yan has not seen Wang Xu anymore after such a long time, and has regained the quiet appearance of the past, gentle and moving, talking decently, and becoming more and more beautiful in everyone's demeanor.

It's just that I really haven't seen Zhao Yu during this time, and since that girl got angry, she hasn't seen anyone for more than half a month now. Xu Shu said that he would see it from time to time, but he had never even seen a shadow.

Not to mention, I don't think I think about it on weekdays, but after being so idle, I haven't seen her alive for some days, and I'm really a little worried. Seeing that there were only five days before the expedition, Wang Xu couldn't help it, he didn't believe in evil, so he ordered the guards to prepare horses early in the morning and rushed to Zhao's mansion, planning to talk to this girl in person.

I didn't know that I had just stepped into the mansion with Dian Wei, but I happened to meet Zhao Yun who was wearing a battle armor, and he looked very bad.

"Lord, why are you here?" Zhao Yun saw Wang Xu from a distance, and immediately greeted him and bowed.

"Oh! I haven't seen rain for many days, so I want to come and have a look. How? Are you rushing to the barracks? Wang Xu smiled slightly.

"Hmmm! The last general was about to rush to the barracks. In response, Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, but said with some hesitation: "Lord, this ...... Yu'er is sick and is still recuperating in the house. I don't think it's as good as ...... It's better to wait for her to get better, and then I'll let her go to the lord. ”

"Sick?" Wang Xu glanced at Zhao Yun in disbelief, and when he saw his stumbling appearance, he couldn't help but wonder: "Really sick?" ”

"Hmmm! Really sick. Although Zhao Yun was very hesitant in his heart, he secretly gritted his teeth and nodded affirmatively.

"If you're really sick! That's amazing. Hearing Zhao Yun so affirmative, Wang Xu suddenly became worried. Zhao Yu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is in good health, but he is generally sick. But if you are really sick, it will definitely be very strict, and even life-threatening. After thinking about it, he was already in a hurry: "Go!" Don't panic to go to the barracks, accompany me to have a look, my medical skills are not bad, see if it is a serious illness. As the saying goes, a warrior doesn't get sick, but illness kills people, so it must be handled carefully, don't let those quacks delay. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Yun to greet him, and walked straight to the house.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun suddenly became anxious. "Lord, how can you cure your sister. She is just an ordinary minor illness, the doctor has already seen it, and she only needs to recuperate for a few days. Don't bother the lord! ”

Wang Xu was too anxious at the moment, so he didn't pay attention to Zhao Yun's abnormality, and said without looking back: "Things are meant to be used when you learn them, and you haven't forgotten them if you keep them in your mind." Yu'er is sick, it is definitely not an ordinary disease, I have to see it for myself to rest assured. ”

Zhao Yun saw that the persuasion did not move, and hurriedly gave the envoy Dian Wei behind Wang Xu a look.

Ke Dian Wei has been by Wang Xu's side for so long, and when he heard and saw it, his brain's reaction had already become faster. In addition, he was already smart, glanced at Wang Xu's back, couldn't help but shake his head, but pretended to be puzzled, and replied: "Zilong, why do you keep blinking your eyes?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu paused, turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun suspiciously, and didn't say much, but accelerated his pace.

Zhao Yun was suddenly taken aback, and when he saw that Wang Xu had sped up his pace, he couldn't help but glance at Dian Wei complainingly. But Dian Wei shrugged his shoulders and said that he was also helpless.

In a moment, Wang Xu had already found Zhao Yu's boudoir. However, while still in the yard, he heard Zhao Yuna crying with annoyance: "Don't eat!" Don't eat! Take it out, I don't want anything, starve to death, I'm useless anyway! ”

When the words fell, Wang Xu, who had just entered the courtyard, saw several pieces of tableware flying out of the door, and one of the copper bowls happened to come straight to him, and the strength was still very strong. However, before he could hit it, he was caught by Zhao Yunfei jumping up.

At this time, Wang Xu looked at Zhao Yun with an embarrassed face for a while, and teased: "Zilong, what's going on?" Yu'er's spirit seems to be much better than imagined, seemingly, seemingly, and feeling much, much......"
