In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang City, Cao Cao was discussing with the strategists about the recent rumors that Zhang Xiu had come to Kou.

"In my opinion, if Zhang Xiu intends to commit a crime, he will never reveal the news in advance, I am afraid that someone is secretly obstructing this matter, the key is who did it."

Xi Zhicai was the first to make a suggestion, and with Zhang Xiu's style, sneak attack is a common method. If Xuchang had known in advance that the enemy had relied on Gaocheng to hold on, the Liangzhou army, which was known for its heavy cavalry, would definitely pay a heavy price, and a smart person would not do it.

"The spies came to report, and the news that the prime minister was about to capture Wancheng was also circulating in Zhang Xiu's army, and the people behind the scenes were afraid that they wanted us to fight each other."

Full of pet guess is good, the armies of the two sides have not moved, and they are always hostile, if the rumors rise at this time, it is inevitable that they will fight because of the wind and grass, and the people behind the scenes will benefit.

"Hey, hey! It should be the handiwork of Luoyang Huangfu Biao! This person is good at stealing chickens and dogs! ”

When Cao Cao heard such an analysis, he immediately thought of Huangfu Biao, and everyone laughed when they heard it.

Now Liu Biao is sticking to Jingxiang, Yuan Shu is focusing on Jianglu, and Yuan Shaoxin is in Jizhou, all of which have no will to fight. Huangfu Biao and Gongsun Zan are out of the same door, if they have the heart to assist in taking Yecheng, they must leave manpower to guard Luoyang, but if Zhang Xiu and himself are inseparable, then this manpower can save more.

In Wancheng, Zhang Xiu was also discussing with Jia Xu.

"On that day, I just sent elite cavalry to chase Cao Ren for thirty miles, and I didn't fight, and I didn't know that he was escorting Emperor Xian's chariot, would Cao Cao send troops to Wancheng because of this?"

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. However, Cao Cao is afraid that he has no intention of going west now, in comparison, Tao Qian is weak, and it is a better choice to go east to Xuzhou. ”

Jia Xu's words are reasonable, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if he wanted to destroy Wancheng and let the emperor make a holy decree, he was worried that he couldn't weave a few charges, as for the rumors, it should be an illusion, and Cao Cao would not come to gnaw on the hard bone of Wancheng.

More than a month has passed, and the situation has not yet moved.

Zhang Xiu was about to move in Wancheng, Cao Cao was watching from afar in Xuchang, and Huangfu Biao knew that these two big fish would not bite the hook if they didn't hit the heavy nest.

"Someone! Put this letter in the hands of Lu Wenhou! ”

"Yes!"

Huangfu Biao showed a sly smile, he has a very big bureau, it depends on how many big fish can be baited, otherwise he will be sorry for the nest material of this fishing.

Soon after, a major event occurred in Hebei, the original Wenhou Lu Bu led his subordinates to defect to Huangfu Biao, turned his head and joined Yuan Shao, and the people of Hedong were suddenly panicked.

Lu Bu took Bian Xi as a gift to the pot guard, and dedicated the five flowers to the Yuan family in Yecheng, recruiting Jizhou to join the party, so that everyone in the world scolded the three family slaves for not keeping their promises.

Yuan Shaogang and Gongsun Zan used Ju Yi to fold his white horse Yizi at Jieqiao, basically stabilized the situation in Hebei, and now he wants to free up his hands to clean up Hanoi and Changshan County, and is worried about the lack of manpower.

In Yecheng, Yuan Shao gathered to discuss the dispatch of troops.

"My lord! What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The pot pass has been broken, and the key to the state has been opened, and troops should be dispatched immediately to take Hedong! ”

Tian Feng eagerly urged Yuan Shao to march, they had already interrogated Bian Xi, almost all the torture was used, it was indeed a surprise attack by Lu Bu and lost the pass, this God-given opportunity should not be missed, otherwise it would be difficult to break through and merge the state.

"Huangfu Biao has always been cunning, how do you know that he didn't use Bian Xi as bait to invite the people of Jizhou to enter the urn?"

Feng Ji on the side saw that Yuan Shao was a little moved, for fear that he would enter Hedong according to Tian Feng's words, make meritorious contributions, and steal his limelight, after all, the lord used his strategy to win Jizhou, and he didn't want to let Xian be the first strategist.

Sure enough, this provocation immediately stirred Yuan Shao's suspicious heart, remembering that he had been plotted by Huangfu Biao several times, and he couldn't help but be afraid, not wanting to steal chickens and rice.

Tian Feng blew his beard and glared, but Feng Ji sneered non-stop, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this pot can not be entered! What you are worried about is just Lu Bu's deception, it is better to send him to attack Changshan to see the authenticity, and you will know after a try! ”

It was Xu Yu who said this, he was pinching a short beard at the moment and was proud, if he was trying to figure out the mind of the lord, everyone here was not as good as him, Tian Feng was upright, he was foolish and loyal, he was treacherous and treacherous, Guo Tu was flattering, although he was talented, he was not useful.

"Just follow the promise!"

Tian Feng was about to admonish again, but Yuan Shao already had the intention of dismissing the meeting, so he didn't give the two a chance to speak, and left the table directly.

The two people sitting next to Xun Chen gave a look, with a slight sneer, it was Xun Yu and Xun Yu. The two who were exiled from Emperor Xian that day, after being rescued in Luoyang, defected to Xun Chen, a Xun family who had a career in Jizhou, and was about to serve Yuan Shao, but they saw such a dramatic scene.
