Since the heroes discussed Dong, although Dong Zhuo was driven out of the Luoyang area, they also fell apart because of their own intentions.

In addition to Dong Zhuo's forces, on the whole, the rest of the forces are divided into two different camps.

If it is divided into camps, it is the Yuan and Cao alliance headed by Yuan Shao and composed of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

On the other hand, the Yuan, Gongsun, and Tao Qian alliance was organized by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zhan.

The Yuan family allowed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to separate, and they saw the discord between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

From another aspect, it can also be seen that the Yuan family's strength is indeed extraordinary, and the influence of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family affects the pattern of the entire Han Dynasty.

As for the discord between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Whether it is really a discord, or the Yuan family does not want to put their eggs in the same basket, and there is a big drama within the family, what is the situation here, outsiders have no way of knowing.

At least judging from the current situation, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are indeed fighting for me.

In addition to these two camps, the remaining Liu Bei is based in Jingzhou and Liu Yan is based in Yizhou, but the attitudes of these two Han clan relatives are a little interesting.

Yizhou is located in a remote area, and Liu Yan is a relative of the Han family, which is quite skillful; It is said that Liu Yan had the idea of ceding the land and becoming the king, and no one cared about him.

And Liu Biao, I'm afraid that no one knows what he thinks except himself, probably he just wants to manage his own one-third of an acre of land and continue to continue the influence of the Han family Liu.

After all, with these two Han clan relatives, let the rest of the people know that although the Han Dynasty is crumbling now, there are still characters who can take charge of themselves.

These two are independent of all forces and do not belong to Dong Zhuo's side, nor to Yuan Shao's side, nor to Yuan Shu's side.

But if necessary, they may also become allies of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and they can be regarded as neutrals.

If you ask them face to face, what line are you on?

I'm afraid that Liu Yan and Liu Biao will answer without hesitation.

We are all on the side of the Han Dynasty.

……

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's camp is still relatively stable now, after all, Yuan Shao is slightly higher than Cao Cao in terms of prestige and soldiers.

But Yuan Shu's side is a little different, originally Yuan Shu, as the concubine of the Yuan family, should have most of the Yuan family's political resources.

However, a large part of these rich political resources were divided by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou is indeed extraordinary.

After Gongsun Zhan's sharp operation, both the prestige and the military horses have been on par with Yuan Shu, and even higher than Yuan Shu.

In this way, Gongsun Zhan's ambition naturally swelled dramatically, and he has the ability, who wants to be a junior brother?

Because of this, there are big problems within the alliance of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, and Tao Qian.

Yuan Shu naturally thinks of himself as the boss.

But Gongsun Zhan's strength has been at the top of Yuan Shu, and he is a veritable boss.

Not only did he sit on the land of Youzhou, but the Qingzhou Thorn Shi was appointed by Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shu was beaten by Cao Cao, so he had to develop in Yangzhou.

And Tao Qian ......

Although Tao Qian's Xuzhou is doing well, its combat effectiveness is really low.

Now Tao Qian sent someone to Tian Kai for help, this is not just a matter that affects Tian Kai's own reputation, what does this mean?

On behalf of Tao Qian, he recognized the status of Gongsun Zhan's boss.

Otherwise, wouldn't Tao Qian go to Yuan Shu?

Moreover, Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao, even if he wanted to ask Yuan Shu for help, Yuan Shu was probably invincible at this time.

From a political point of view, Tian Kai is very willing to help Tao Qian, but there is no character under him to take it out.

Like Tao Qian, the reason why he was beaten by Cao Cao was bloody, wasn't it because his subordinates were unhelpful?

Tian Kai, as the assassin of Qingzhou, naturally knows Liu Bei's ability, Liu Bei has experienced a lot of large and small wars since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

It's also a character.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Kai tested Liu Bei to see what Liu Bei thought, if Liu Bei is willing, it is also a good way to let Liu Bei lead the army to rescue Tao Qian.

After listening to Liu Bei's answer, Tian Kai pondered for a moment, as if he was considering something.

At this time, Tian Kai already had the idea of sending troops to rescue Tao Qian, but as a superior, he naturally had to take care of it.

"Xuande is reasonable, and I also have this idea, but now Qingzhou has suffered a lot of vitality after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it may be inappropriate to rush to send troops."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed, and the meaning of what Tian Kai said was already very clear, "If you rush to send troops, I'm afraid something will be wrong." ”

The meaning is actually very clear, it is not impossible to rescue Tao Qian, but it is just necessary to be cautious.

How could this opportunity pass me by.

Liu Bei resolutely responded and saluted: "Assassination history, although you are not talented, I am willing to lead thousands of elite soldiers to rescue Xuzhou." ”

Tian Kai raised his eyebrows, "Xuande is willing to go?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, "Tao Gong Zuren has been admired for a long time, but I have only heard his name and have not seen him." ”

"Now that he is in trouble, how can Liu be unwilling."

Tian Kai laughed, "Xuande is really benevolent and extraordinary, so Xuande will follow me to gather troops and horses and go to Xuzhou to rescue." ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, he thought that Tian Kai would order him to lead the army alone, but he didn't expect Tian Kai to go too?

But then Liu Bei wanted to understand the checkpoint, Tao Qian sent someone to ask for help, if Tian Kai didn't go, wouldn't it mean that Tian Kai didn't pay attention to it?

Although he is not leading the army alone, he may be restricted, but being able to leave the land of Qingzhou is already a great thing for Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei had long wanted to escape from the whirlpool of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.

"This time it's a wish!" Liu Bei was happy in his heart, but his face did not show anything.

……

Xuzhou

"Father! Great joy! ”

Since Tao Qian vomited blood last time, his spirit has become more and more sluggish, but fortunately, Tancheng has not been captured by Cao Cao.

It seems that although Cao Cao's massacre of the city has damaged the confidence of a group of people, it has also made the defenders of the city more bitter against the enemy.

On this day, Tao Qian's son, Tao Shang, suddenly found his father, with an obvious smile on his face, and exclaimed: "Great joy." ”

Tao Qian frowned when he saw his son so Meng Lang, such a big person was still so flustered.

However, hearing the "great joy" shouted from his son's mouth, Tao Qian still secretly reprimanded the child, and said softly: "What is the joy? ”

The potter smiled and hurriedly replied: "Father, Cao Cao has withdrawn!" ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he was also happy in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face, just asked: "Cao Cao has withdrawn?" "But the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou have arrived?"

The potter shook his head, "This kid doesn't know, I only know that Cao Cao's army has retreated, and it won't be long before specific news comes." ”

Tao Qian frowned, how could Cao Cao retreat for no reason?

Is there anything wrong with this?
