Although Cao Cao had gotten along well with Wei Xuan before, and there was a feeling of heroic sympathy, he didn't understand why Wei Xuan had retreated halfway since he was meddling in Yanzhou's affairs.

In the opinion of Cao Cao and his adviser Cheng Yu, if Wei Xuan came for Chen Liu, he should also eliminate Lu Bu's living force as much as possible, because after occupying Chen Liu, even if he does not get involved in other counties in Yanzhou, he should rob Chen Guo of Yuzhou, so as to facilitate the connection of Chen Liu, Yingchuan and Liang State.

If Wei Xuan's plot was bigger, he should have coerced Cao Cao to surrender, and then marched eastward together, instantly occupying most of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and then dividing the two states in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu couldn't see through it not because they didn't have enough resourcefulness, but because the news passed back by Jinyi Wei had already made Wei Xuan feel the impending coercion.

Lu Buzhen didn't expect that it was Zhang Liao who blocked him from finally capturing the communist army, and Zhang Miao's face turned pale after hearing that Wei Xuan had captured Chen Liu. At the beginning, he divided his troops to besiege Dongjun on the one hand, and crossed the Chen State to the south to join forces with Lu Bu. But now that Dongjun is in the hands of Cao Cao, Chen Guo and King Chen are very strong, which means that Chen Liu has been cut off from Yanzhou???????????????? Entered the Weixuan cyst. He understands that Wei Xuan has not failed since his debut. Dong Zhuo, example sentences, Yu Fuluo, and Yuan Shu were no one able to defeat Wei Xuan head-on. Now, if he wants to forcibly recapture Chen Liu, he must unite with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others.

Zhang Miao's thoughts, Lu Bu is naturally happy to see it. And Yuan Shao heard that Wei Xuan helped Cao Cao defend Dongjun in Jizhou, and his mood was also very complicated.

The great alliance leader Yuan Shao of Jizhou sent his advisor Guo Tu south again to integrate, Guo Tu's first stop was Dongjun, he brought Yuan Shao's handwritten letter to Cao Cao and waited for Cao Cao's reply with a proud face.

Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry after reading Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, Yuan Shao not only demanded that Cao Cao and Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and others immediately cease fighting, but also hoped that Cao Cao would join the Anti-Defense Propaganda League. That's right, the anti-defense propaganda alliance.

If it weren't for Guo Tu personally saying that Yuan Shao had reached an armistice agreement with Gongsun Chan before, and Gongsun Chan had also joined the Anti-Defense Xuan Alliance, Cao Cao would definitely think that Yuan Shao was joking. No matter how many counties Wei Xuan occupied in Yanzhou, after all, he still kept a base for Cao Cao. Now that Wei Xuan's soldiers and horses have just retreated to Chen Liu, Cao Cao will really make the world despise if he joins the anti-Wei Xuan Alliance. Therefore, although Guo Tu's tongue trembled, Cao Cao only promised not to attack Lü Bu and Zhang Miao in eastern Yanzhou for the time being.

After receiving Cao Cao's reply, Guo Tu left Puyang satisfied. It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that a month later, Yuan Shao issued a crusade against Wei Xuanyu again, and the content was naturally the same, hijacking the Son of Heaven, causing trouble to the imperial court, attacking the prefectures and counties divided by the Son of Heaven without authorization, changing the administrative division of Dahan Prefecture without authorization, and slandering the three princes of the imperial court......

In such a troubled era, and there is no court to preside, it doesn't matter what kind of crime you want to crusade against the princes. The key is to see how many people respond and how many soldiers and horses can be gathered.

However, in the following half a month, even Cao Cao pinched a sweat for Wei Xuan, because Gongsun Zan was the first to respond, and gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to Daijun out of Shanggu.

Yuan Shao even sent 50,000 troops to press Wei County. Then Lü Bu and Zhang Miaotun had 40,000 or 50,000 troops in Shanyang, and Yuan Shu gathered 50,000 or 60,000 troops to Runan. What surprised Cao Cao the most was that Liu Biao, who had not had much contact with the Kwantung heroes, also announced that he had gathered 50,000 troops and was ready to cross the river north from Xiangyang.

The princes of the Five Roads actually gathered nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses to crusade against Wei Xuan! It can also be seen that after the last crusade of the princes of the Eighteen Routes, with the withdrawal of some state and county magistrates, several of today's heroes have become stronger.

And because the purpose of this time is not the same as the last time, this crusade against Wei Xuan is actually to fight for territory, and the reason why the five parties can unite is because Wei Xuan has developed too fast, and there is a son of heaven in hand. The purpose of these five parties is not to care about the Son of Heaven, but to care about being close to their own territory. These people know very well in their hearts that if they don't take advantage of the fact that Wei Xuan has just fought with Li Dao and others and has not resumed the attack, when Wei Xuan digests Guanzhong, the land of Sanzhou is in hand, and the Son of Heaven is in hand, they will become thieves in Wei Xuan's mouth one by one.

Therefore, the princes of the Five Roads acted separately, sending Sun Zan to seize the state, Yuan Shao wanted Hanoi, Lü Bu wanted Chen Liu, Yuan Shu aimed at Yingchuan, and Liu Biao tried to recapture Nanyang. Because each takes what it needs and does not interfere with each other, the soldiers, grain and grass are all prepared by themselves, and it is nothing more than attacking Wei Xuan's territory together. Such a loose-looking coalition army???????????????? In fact, it is more deterrent than the original crusade against Dong Zhuo by the princes of the Eighteenth Road. Because everyone understands that only by eating what is in front of them as soon as possible can they get Longwangshu.

For a time, the Kanto heroes scouted and explored horses frequently. The counties bordering these princes are also noisy.

The most nervous is naturally Wang Meng, the prime minister of Liang State, he originally thought that Wei Xuan would take Chen Liu, and then he would definitely open up Chen Guo, so that even if it was the front line, there would be a big rear. As a result, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses are now hoarded on the north and south sides of the Liang State.

Wang Meng was actively preparing for war while Pegasus told Wei Xuan, however, Wei Xuan, who was close to Chen Liu, also sent him a new order, asking him to abandon Liang and transfer to Chen Liutaishou. Wang Meng was completely stunned, and fleeing without a fight was not Wei Xuan's style. If it wasn't someone from the Hedong Wei family who came to convey the order, Wang Meng would definitely think that Yuan Shu or Lu Bu and others had forged the order.

And when he hurried to Chen Liu, he was even more puzzled, because the two armies stationed here, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, were very elite, and the Wei Yun Department was in the Tiger Prison Pass, so they were fully capable of capturing Chen and holding Liang at the same time. Faced with Wang Meng's doubts, Wei Xuan smiled and said nothing, just comforted Wang Meng and asked him to do things well in Chenliu.

With Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Guo Jia and others, in the face of Chen Liu's complex situation, the choice he made will naturally not be wrong. Liang State is like a non-land that has been declared outside, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu did not take it before because they wanted to leave a buffer zone with Yanzhou, because the big man behind Yanzhou Cao Cao was Yuan Shao.

Of course, in the face of the invasion of more than 200,000 troops of the princes of the Five Routes, Wei Xuan was of course impossible to be indifferent. Bingzhou was originally Xu Huang, Yang Feng, Du Peng and Wei Zheng, and Gongsun Chan was at odds with Xianbei and Wuhuan, and Wei Zheng was able to take Bingzhou to resist Gongsun Zhan.

Wei Xuan focused on Hanoi and Yingchuan, Hanoi had Huang Zhong, and Ganning's navy could cooperate, but Weitong's 10,000 light cavalry were still transferred to Hedong.

In the direction of Yingchuan was Xu Rong's 16,000 men, and at the same time ordered Zhang Ji to leave Hangu Pass and go to the Yingchuan front. Nanyang is Wei Yan's town, plus Duan Xuan's 10,000 horses, a total of 25,000 people, plus more than 5,000 county soldiers in Nanyang and Nanxiang counties.

Although Wei Xuan's forces in the other four directions were not as good as the invading enemy, because it was located in the plain, Wei Xuan's number of cavalry was large, and the combat power of jumping on the individual soldiers and legions far exceeded the enemy, so Wei Xuan was not worried that the five-party alliance would be able to break through from the front. Wei Xuan was most worried about the Xiongnu and Xianbei people in the direction of Liangzhou and the northern desert.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven who was far away in Hedong, and the civil and military officials of the imperial court learned about the five-party alliance's crusade against Wei Xuan, and they also joined in the fun. On the one hand, the Son of Heaven sent people to Chenliu to inquire about the battle situation, but on the other hand, he quietly betrayed and contacted Gongsun Zhan, Lu Bu and Liu Biao. As for the Yuan Shao brothers, the Son of Heaven is hopeless.

On the bright side, the Son of Heaven even took Situ Zhu Jun as the messenger, and Zhu Ben came to Chen Liumei, and he said that he would mediate the contradictions.

For these behaviors of the Son of Heaven, Wei Xuan did not block too much except for ordering the supply of grain and grass for the Son of Heaven's personal guards. Don't let the Son of Heaven and the imperial court run into a wall in front of the Kanto heroes, I think many people are very naïve.

Of course, because it was about to be launched, the inventory in Henan, Hanoi, and Chenliu was very strict, and it was impossible for Zhu Jun to reach Chenliu through the Tiger Pass. The so-called persuasion of the Son of Heaven is only a kind of brush existence???????????????? sense, but Wei Xuan didn't have time to waste time on these people who made a mess.

Following the notes of the Yanzhou army, some of Wei Yun's soldiers and horses also left the Tiger Prison and entered the border between Yingchuan and Chenliu. The reason why Wei Xuan stayed in Chenliu was not only because this was a place that needed to be appeased, but also because of Wei Xuan's judgment that Lu Bu in the Fifth Route Alliance was someone who had not fought Wei Xuan head-on except for Gongsun Zhan. And Lu Bu's team around the eye during this period of time swelled very fast, and the soldiers under his command were also full of confidence, plus Lu Bu was followed by Chen Liutai guarding Zhang Miao.

Chenliu's special geographical location also determines that this is about to be the main battlefield of this east-west duel, Chenliu crosses the river to the north of Wei County, northwest is Hanoi, along the Yellow River northeast is Dongjun, east is Chen State, south is Yingchuan, southeast is Runan and Liang State. Further east are Peiguo and Xuzhou.

That is to say, in a certain decisive situation, Chen Liu may be besieged by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao from three sides, and even Cao Cao and the account may also wave their flags and shout, and even in extreme cases, Tao Qian will send troops to stir up.

As Wei Xuan expected, the first target of Lü Bu and Zhang Miao's army from Shanyang was the Liang State, and when they arrived in the Liang State, they learned that Taishou Wang Meng had already left with his henchmen and a large amount of treasure.

When he occupied the Liang State, Zhang Miao proposed to Lu Bu that he hoped to replenish the soldiers and horses with the Liang State as a base. Zhang Miao hastily left because he assisted Lu Bu in capturing other states and counties in Yangzhou and called Liu Bei Weixuan's sneak attack, so Lu Bu felt a little guilty in his heart, and Zhang Miao's willingness to act as a buffer between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu was also a suitable candidate.

But Chen Gong raised objections, he felt that Zhang Miao was content with the status quo, and once he stayed in Liang State, he would definitely not send troops to Chen Liu, so one thing in Chen Gong asked Zhang Miao to take people to Chen State, skills to prevent Cao Cao, and also form a corner with Lu Bu to surround Chen Liu.

Lu Bu smiled at this, attacking Chen Liu, Lu Bu never had the luxury of expecting Zhang Miao. So Zhang Miao stopped in Liang and swore to Lü Bu that he would reduce the task of raising grain and grass for Lü Bu's army and monitoring Cao Cao's movements.

Lu Buyi led the troops all the way to the west, and after entering the realm of Chen Liu, he found that Wei Xuan was still taking a shrinking attitude.
