Dong Zhuo took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou and ordered Lu Bu to lead his troops to Yanzhou, of course, Lu Bu was definitely not the only one who was sent.

The sons-in-law Niu Fu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, who were originally active in Sili, were also sent out.

It is not a simple matter to say that the army is fighting, especially if the opponent is still a person like Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao is not in Yanzhou, the people in charge of affairs in Yanzhou are also well-known figures.

Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo.

Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde.

Xun Yu alone is already a headache, not to mention that there is also a Cheng Yu.

Dong Zhuo, just in case, discussed with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to see which of them was willing to assist.

Fortunately, Huangfu Song was willing to go, which made Dong Zhuo breathe a sigh of relief.

After sending away Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Li Ru frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Lord, Huangfu Song is quite popular in the army, and now that he is allowed to lead the army, I am afraid that there will be more troubles in the future." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he already knew Li Ru's thoughts in his heart, but he still waved his hand.

"I also know what Wen You is worried about, but apart from the two of them, I have no one to use." "What's more, with my son Feng Xian, it should be fine."

"Besides, this dispatch is just a test."

Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's words, and was puzzled in his heart, was it just a test to engage in such a big battle?

"There is a way to go up to the army to attack and plan, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city." "Isn't it so easy to conquer Yanzhou?"

Dong Zhuo swept his beard, and then continued to say his true thoughts.

"Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian in the east, and Tao Qian sent someone to send a letter asking for help, if I don't have anything to say, Tao Qian will have a complaint in his heart."

"I ordered Wu'er to lead the army first, but it was just to deter Cao Cao and make it impossible for him to look east."

Li Ru nodded, and hesitated: "Lord, just like this, it consumes countless money and food, and I am afraid it won't last long." ”

Dong Zhuo sighed lightly, "Alas, this is also a matter of no choice, this time Huangfu Song's wish is also quite in line with my heart." ”

"After all, the two armies are facing each other, and he is very experienced."

The reason why Dong Zhuo said this was because when Huangfu Song fought against the Yellow Turban Thieves before, he fought against Zhang Jiao, and he won many battles.

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo paused, "With Huangfu Song facing off against the two armies, there will be no problems, but if you want to win, you still need to operate." ”

"Operational?" Li Ru muttered to himself, and he couldn't keep up with Dong Zhuo's train of thought for a while.

"Hey." I only heard Dong Zhuo chuckle and explained: "Cao Cao killed chickens and monkeys in Xuzhou, slaughtered countless scholars, although his behavior shocked the scholars in Xuzhou, but how did the scholars in Yanzhou think of him?" ”

When Li Ru heard this, his eyes lit up, this is indeed the case!

Although Cao Cao and Tao Qian were hostile, the scholar class was the scholar class.

Although Cao Cao said that there was a reason to "avenge his father", it was difficult to say what the rest of the people would have towards him.

Those relatives and generals who followed Cao Cao are also counted. But will the native scholars of Yanzhou be afraid?

I am afraid that in the eyes of the families in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, Cao Cao is even more dangerous than Dong Zhuo.

"Does the lord mean to take advantage of the time when he sent troops to Yanzhou to hype up Cao Cao's massacre of the city?" Li Ru instantly figured out what Dong Zhuo meant by "operating".

Dong Zhuo nodded and said with a smile: "That's right." "Not only should it be hyped up, but it should also be justified."

"At the same time, I also have to order someone to secretly contact the local family in Yanzhou to tell him about the benefits, Cao Cao has not been in control of Yanzhou for a long time, and its foundation is not stable, which is a great opportunity."

Li Ru's eyes moved slightly, and he began to calculate in his heart, and found that what his lord said was very reasonable!

……

Yanzhou

Just when Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others were calculating how to attack Yanzhou, the scholars in Yanzhou were indeed a little panicked.

"Alas!" With a sigh, a middle-aged man in regular clothes had a sad face, and sighed to the man in official clothes next to him, "Gongtai! How good is that? ”

"I really didn't expect Cao Cao to be so bold."

The surname of this person in regular clothes is Zhang, his name is Chao, and the word Meng Gao, while the person in official clothes next to him is surnamed Chen, the name of the palace, and the word Gongtai.

Zhang Chaochu was the Guangling Taishou, Guangling was originally under the rule of Xuzhou, he had some friendship with Tao Qian, and Zhang Chao defected to his brothers after stepping down from Guangling.

If you want to say that Zhang Chao's own brother is also a great character, it is Chen Liutai who guards Zhang Miao.

After Tao Qian was attacked by Cao Cao, he naturally used all the network resources around him, in addition to asking for help from Qingzhou Tian Kai and Yongzhou Dong Zhuo, he also dragged a lot of relationships, hoping to mediate one or two from it.

After Zhang Chao received Tao Qian's letter, he remembered the scholar clan who was slaughtered by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, so he made an appointment with his friend Chen Gong and wanted to ask him what he could do.

The reason why Zhang Chao found Chen Gong, in addition to Chen Gong being his friend, another reason is that when Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, Chen Gong made a lot of efforts.

Chen Gong listened to Zhang Chao's words, and his heart was not a taste, when Chen Gong was out, Cao Cao was still the Taishou of Dongjun, and he felt that Cao Cao was a person who did great things.

Only after the death of Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, he tried his best to promote Cao Cao to become the ruler of Yanzhou, and now Chen Gong is very reluctant to slap himself a few big mouths.

Just when Chen Gong was silent, he only heard Zhang Chao sigh again: "The matter of Yuanli is like what is in front of you." ”

Chen Gong listened to Zhang Chao's words, and his heart was even more panicked.

Because Zhang Chao said Yuanli, he is a well-known figure in the Yanzhou Shi clan, this person's surname is Bian, a celebrity, and the word Yuanli.

The reason why Chen Gong was even more panicked in his heart was that Bian Rang had been killed by Cao Cao for a while.

Bian Rang is good at debating, resigned, and became famous when he was young, on a par with Kong Rong, and can be said to be a Confucian-style figure.

Bian Rang's death is something that many outsiders don't know about it, and many people only think that Cao Cao killed Bian Rang because Bian Rang often mocked Cao Cao.

But what is hidden here is the battle between Cao Cao and the native scholars of Yanzhou.

Bian Rang is an outstanding figure in the Yanzhou clan, when Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, everyone was optimistic about Cao Cao, that was because they hoped that Cao Cao would bring a stable living environment to everyone.

How do you know that after Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he fought with Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, which made the Yanzhou soldiers miserable.

There was a conceptual disagreement between the local scholars and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to find a reason to kill Bian Rang, which had the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys.

There is also the meaning of deterring the Yanzhou scholars, there is no way, Cao Cao's military power is in hand, and there is a lesson from the past, everyone is naturally unwilling to use their own necks to try Cao Cao's blade is not sharp.

But now Cao Cao has made an example of "killing chickens and monkeys" in Xuzhou, and now Zhang Chao, who has got the news, unconsciously thought of Bian Rang.

Once.

Twice.

Will it fall on your head for the third time?

This kind of taste is not pleasant, and it is because of this that Zhang Chao found Chen Gong and prepared to sum up to see if there was any way.
