Gao Gan was ordered to govern and annex the state, and his performance was outstanding, and he also showed good ability.

Hanoi County was also nominally under the jurisdiction of the state, and he was allowed to accompany him in order to better defend against Yang Ling.

is worthy of being the top strategist by Yuan Shao's side.

In the blink of an eye, I have already thought of a watertight countermeasure!

"Okay, everything is up to the prison army!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand and agreed to Fu Zhi's suggestion.

Guo Tu on the side was extremely depressed.

He also planned to recommend himself to Yuan Shao Mao and lead his troops to Hanoi.

I didn't expect to be frustrated again.

This dog's frustration, how can you always spoil your own business?

No way.

You can't let this guy continue to be arrogant.

Otherwise, he will never rise to the top.

Just when Guo Tu was in a bad stomach and thinking about how to get the frustration down, Yuan Shao's eyes moved over.

"Mr. Gongze, what about the envoy you sent to Jingzhou, why has it been so long, and there is no letter?"

He asked with a cold snort, his tone full of displeasure.

As early as the beginning of the war, he asked Guo Tu to send envoys south to Jingzhou and Jiangdong to contact Liu Biao and Sun Quan, and let them flank Cao Cao together.

On the Jiangdong side, due to Sun Ce's assassination, Sun Quan was so busy that he had no time to go north.

But on the Jingzhou side, there has been no news for a long time, and it is no wonder that Yuan Shao is dissatisfied with Guo Tu.

Guo Tu chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said,

"My lord, please listen to my explanation. Now that we are at war with Cao Cao, it is difficult to go south to Jingzhou. ”

"Besides, even if the messenger arrives, it will be very difficult to deliver the message back."

Hearing him say this, Yuan Shao's face looked much better.

"Got it, hurry up!"

"Whoa!"

……

Xiangyang.

"Uncle Liuhuang, you must persuade Jingzhou Mu."

A literati said earnestly to Liu Bei in the hall.

"Don't worry, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely persuade Jingzhou Mansion patiently."

Liu Bei appeased the literati.

It wasn't until he left that he smiled bitterly and said to the two young scribes in the hall,

"Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. Yuan Zhi, this Yuan Shao's envoy has come to my door, what do you think?"

Yes, these two young scribes are Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.

Let's say that when he was in Huainan, seeing that Yuan Shu was bound to fail, Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to slip away in advance.

Under the persuasion of Sun Qian and Jian Yong, he went all the way west to Liu Biao's Jingzhou.

Both sides are the royal family of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei is famous, and Liu Biao can be described as courteous.

So he took a group of his subordinates and temporarily settled them in Jingzhou.

Later, it was similar to the situation in history, Liu Bei got acquainted with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu successively, and he was shocked on the spot!

This time, he didn't make the mistake he made to Yang Ling before, but respectfully asked the two to serve as military advisors.

Xu Shu smiled faintly,

"Lord, according to your subordinates, you still have to go and see the state pastor."

"Yes, now Cao Cao is in a stalemate with Yuan Shao with all his might, and the rear is empty. With just one team, you can go straight to Xudu and welcome the Son of Heaven! ”

Zhuge Liang also nodded with a smile.

"The state pastor won't even see Yuan Shao's envoy, will he listen to me?"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

"Of course it will, the lord is the uncle of the Son of Heaven after all!"

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily.

"Good! Since both gentlemen agreed, I would visit the governor tomorrow. ”

Liu Bei agreed, but then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly said,

"I just received news that Yang Ling has led people to conquer Hanoi County and killed Taishou Zhang Yang."

Hearing Yang Ling's name, Zhuge Liang's face became ugly.

Why did he defect to Liu Bei?

In addition to Liu Bei's fame, influence, lack of talent and other factors, a big reason is because he and Liu Bei both have enmity with Yang Ling.

The fiancées of the two were snatched away by Yang Ling.

However, Zhuge Liang returned to normal in a blink of an eye, glanced at the map, and said with a solemn face,

"My lord, we must persuade the state pastor to send troops as soon as possible."

"Why is that?"

Liu Bei said with some doubts.

"If Yang Ling can think of Hanoi County's move, then Yuan Shao will definitely not be Cao Cao's opponent. The two sides may soon be able to decide the winner. ”

Zhuge Liang patiently explained,

"Kong Ming is right."

Xu Shu on the side nodded approvingly,

"If you delay any longer, when Cao Cao finishes cleaning up Yuan Shao, it will be meaningless for Jingzhou to send troops."

After listening to their words, Liu Bei's face became solemn.

He made up his mind that tomorrow he must persuade Liu Biao to send troops and fight Cao Cao with Yuan Shao!

……

Next.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu to visit Liu Biao in person.

"Xuande came here today, is there anything important?"

Liu Biao in the hall asked weakly.

Although Cai Yu cherished Yang Ling and no longer chased Liu Biao for help, he couldn't stand his advanced age.

Compared with when Yang Ling came to Jingzhou a few years ago, Liu Biao is now blinded and has a poor complexion.

"Brother Jingsheng, Xuande has something important to discuss."

Liu Bei made a total of hands, and said,

"Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting fiercely, and the rear is empty. Brother Jingsheng can send a surprise army to attack Xu Du from the rear. ”

"In this way, not only can the Cao thief be severely damaged, but also the Son of Heaven can be flattered and the glory of the Han Dynasty will be boosted!"

Liu Biao didn't expect Liu Bei to see him in order to talk about it.

He was stunned for a moment, and hesitated,

"What's going on...... Something seems wrong. ”

Zhuge Liang on the side saw that Liu Biao was a little reluctant, so he walked out and said,

"I have a word, and I ask the state pastor to listen quietly."

"Although the state pastor has the heart of keeping the promise, whether it is Cao thief or Yuan Shao, they are all greedy."

"No matter who wins, the two of them will eventually send troops south to take Jingzhou."

"Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to turn passive into active. Take the first step to welcome back the Son of Heaven, and then in the name of the Son of Heaven, recruit heroes from all over the world and pacify the four seas. ”

"At that time, the state pastor is also a person who has made great contributions through the ages!"

Liu Biao fell into deep thought.

He was old, but he wasn't stupid.

Zhuge Liang said these words, he was clear in his heart.

I just didn't bother to think about it before.

But now that Yuan Cao is fighting fiercely, sooner or later the winner will be decided, where should Jingzhou be?

Seeing Liu Biao fall into a deep groan, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a smile.

It seems that I can say that Liu Biao can be said today!

After a while, Liu Biao seemed to have made up his mind.

He was just about to speak, when a subordinate suddenly stepped out of the screen behind him.

"Sir, Madame invites you over in the backyard."

Liu Biao was stunned, and then nodded to Liu Bei and said,

"Xuande is waiting here for the time being, I'll come when I go."

"Brother Jingsheng, please take care of yourself."

Liu Bei waved his hand generously.

After Liu Biao left, Zhang Fei couldn't help muttering,

"Big brother, there shouldn't be any changes, right?"
