At the same time that Dong Zhuo's army rushed to the aid of Gongsun Zhan, the news of Gongsun Zhan's request for help was also sent to Luoyang and to Liu Bei.

However, before this news was sent to Liu Bei, Liu Bei had already received information from the secret agents directly belonging to him and the intelligence of the Dongyuan secret agents directly belonging to Zhang Rang.

As his hometown, Youzhou certainly has the intelligence system left by Liu Bei, and Jizhou naturally has the intelligence system he ran back then, and even Zhang Rang sent people to Hebei to spy on intelligence at Liu Bei's request before to enhance the intelligence force.

So what color of crotch cloth Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan wear Liu Bei may not know, and Liu Bei doesn't know if he wears it, but if Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan make any big moves, he must know.

For example, Liu Bei knew that Yuan Shao was strong and took a defensive position in three directions, but he did not arrange a heavy defense in the north.

Therefore, at the military meeting, Xun You and Cheng Yu successively judged that Yuan Shao had the intention of attacking Gongsun Zan in the north, and further suspected that Yuan Shao might have some contact with the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people and even the Xiongnu people in the north.

It's just that Liu Bei didn't know when they might act at that time, and thought that as long as Gongsun Zhan didn't move, even if the Wuhuan and Xianbei people dared to go south, the situation would not change much.

In the final analysis, Liu Bei is not very optimistic about the "White Horse General", but he has no doubts about his military ability, but Liu Bei and the think tanks under his command together did not expect Gongsun Chan to disobey his orders and take the initiative to attack Yuan Shao.

At that time, Liu Bei was very angry.

Gongsun Chan disobeyed his orders and took the initiative to attack, which not only destroyed his overall layout, but also plunged Youzhou's defense into a state of emptiness, in case the Xianbei and Wuhuan people had any ideas, the situation would be very bad.

And the situation did not exceed Liu Bei's expectations, while Yuan Shao intended to attack north, he really did not forget to contact the Xianbei and Wuhuan people.

Although he didn't know what method Yuan Shao used to unite the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people, Liu Bei knew that under the attack from both sides, Gongsun Zhan would definitely be defeated.

And once he is defeated, Zhuo County will bear the brunt and will inevitably become Yuan Shao's main target, Fanyang County and Zhuo County, two counties of great significance to Liu Bei, will be poisoned by Yuan Shao, and it will be difficult to survive.

One is not good, these two counties and even the entire Zhuo County will become Yuan Shao's vent, and he will vent his hatred for himself, and hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Zhuo County may be brutally slaughtered.

Gongsun Chan!

Liu Bei convened a military meeting with a gloomy face and announced the order to immediately send troops to attack Yuan Shao.

"Originally, I wanted to wait for a while, when the materials were more complete and the army training was more mature, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and if I didn't send troops, Youzhou would be gone."

What happened in Youzhou was widely told by Liu Bei, and his subordinates were very surprised by this.

Zhang Fei and other officers from Zhuo County felt very hated for this, and felt that Gongsun Zhan was messing around, if his hometown was slaughtered, it would be really shameless to face his hometown fathers.

"So, act fast and can't wait any longer."

Liu Bei decisively ordered a crusade against Yuan Shao and the Jizhou rebels, and decided to launch an all-out assault on Youzhou.

The last time he dealt with Yuan Shu, Liu Bei only dispatched two main forces and did not go all out, but this time it was different.

The three main armies of the Tiger Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Tiger Cavalry Army were all dispatched.

The Xuanjia Army and the Shence Army, which have a relatively high degree of training completion, have also been added to the expedition sequence.

On this expedition, Tiger Cavalry Zhonglang will rebel against General Zhang Fei, Tiger Horse Zhonglang will Yangwei General Xu Huang, Xiaocai Zhonglang General Pang De, Xuanjia Zhonglang General Cheng Pu and Shence Zhonglang General Liu Sheng will be the main generals.

The rest of the rookie generals who performed well were also brought by Liu Bei.

This time the incident happened suddenly, there was no need to divide the troops, the army directly penetrated Jizhou to rescue Youzhou, the main military action target was Youzhou, and the traitors in Jizhou were handed over to the armies of other states to be responsible.

At the same time as the Luoyang army was dispatched, Liu Bei sent an order to Yanzhou Assassin Shi Qiaomao and Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu, ordering the armies of the two states to attack, and ordered Dong Zhuo to arrange for the army in Huguan to attack simultaneously, and the military tasks of Jizhou were mainly handed over to these three armies.

In addition, he learned that Dong Zhuo had personally led the army to aid Zhuo County, which made him feel a little relieved.

With Dong Zhuo's current situation, Liu Bei believes that Dong Zhuo will definitely do his best to send troops in this wave, and Dong Zhuo will not say anything else, the combat effectiveness of the war is still okay.

Because he remembered Dong Zhuo's matter, Liu Bei made a temporary decision and sent an order to the later general Lu Bu, ordering Lu Bu to lead 5,000 Bingzhou troops to join the army in this expedition to Jizhou and go out with the army.

On November 23, the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Bei hurriedly completed the whole army and sent a division to the imperial court to defeat Yuan Shao.

It was still the same as before, leaving Jia Xu, Xun You, Cao Cao, Gai Xun, Yan Wen and others in the DPRK to stabilize the situation, show their existence and power, and ask Lu Zhi to temporarily unify the ancient literature school and not let them make trouble.

At this time, because the news of the chaos in Youzhou and the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat came together, the Luoyang court was shaken.

The opposition officials, led by the Jinwen faction, finally found an opportunity to launch a political and public opinion offensive against Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei, who supported Gongsun Chan's ascension to the throne, in an attempt to get Liu Bei to confess his guilt and punish him at this time.

But their plan received little response.

Under the system of the four auxiliary ministers, their voices were suppressed, and there could be no political breakthrough.

In terms of public opinion, Ruan Yu also worked at full speed to snipe at the public opinion offensive launched by the modern literary school, not giving them the opportunity to make a big deal.

At the highest decision-making meeting, Liu Bei conducted an internal review of this matter, admitted his mistake to the Empress Dowager Dong, and said that he did not know anyone, so that Youzhou was in trouble and was willing to accept the punishment.

Empress Dowager Dong didn't have much idea about it.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, Xuande, do you have a solution to the current situation?"

"Yes."

"How sure are you?"

"Ten percent."

Liu Bei's eyes were full of cold light, and his heart was full of killing intent.

"The courtiers will make the traitorous thieves and the foolish pay the price."

"That's good."

Empress Dowager Dong just wants to live a comfortable life, she longs for and is unwilling to lose a comfortable life, so if Liu Bei can give her this promise, she will be satisfied.

Soon, Liu Bei, who was about to end, led the troops to the battle, and Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to see them off, holding Liu Bei's hand and praying for Liu Bei, looking forward to Liu Bei's triumph as soon as possible.

This battle is an unexpected and expected battle, this victory, the Luoyang court will be stable, if this battle is not won, the problem will be big.

Everyone didn't have time to blame Liu Bei's unknown knowledge, they could only pin their hopes on Liu Bei, who was able to fight well.

"The general must be triumphant."

Liu Xie didn't know if he wanted to say this, or if the Empress Dowager Dong taught him to say this, but Liu Bei didn't care anymore.

After saluting, he turned on his horse and rode away.

This was his second expedition as a general, and it was also the first of a more critical situation.

However, there are far more supporters than skepticians about the success of his expedition.

There is no other reason, Liu Bei is an expert in the civil war, and he is also an expert in the foreign war, and the glorious history of 300,000 Xianbei becoming a strong laborer in Liangzhou is vivid, and there are many people who believe that he can reach new heights.

Of course, there are also many people who hope that Liu Bei's undefeated myth will come to an end.

than the literary guys of today.

Looking at Liu Bei's distant back, Huan Dian, who was standing behind Dong Chong, spoke at the right time.

"After returning from this expedition, Liu Xuande is defeated, if he is defeated, he will definitely become the first person in the world, at that time, what confidence do you have to compete with him?"

Dong Chong was stunned for a moment, and then glanced back at Huan Dian with a displeased face.

"I never wanted to fight him, so you don't want to say it anymore."

"I don't want to say it, but I'm worried that if you don't fight with him, after he returns from victory, he will fight with you for power and profit, and at that time, let alone outside Luoyang City, he will definitely reach out to Luoyang City."

Huan Dian said in a low voice: "People's desire for power is endless, he has mastered the outside of the sun, he will definitely want to be inside the sun, if you don't look at the long run, you will definitely lose your life because of the trap under your feet, I remind you like this, I don't want to see you fall into the trap!" ”

Dong Zhong listened, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a long time.
