Guan Yu and Gongsun Chan have been at a stalemate with each other for a long time because of this matter, but no matter what Gongsun Chan says, they just can't change Guan Yu's mind.

Guan Yu's stubbornness is not comparable to ordinary people, not to mention that the nine cows can't pull it back, even the nine elephants don't want to pull him.

But in the end, with the arrival of Liu Jian's envoy, the dispute between Guan Yu and Gongsun Chan finally ushered in a solution.

The envoy brought Liu Jian's handwritten letter, which was addressed to Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan, clarifying the timing of their troops and their tasks.

The moment he saw Liu Jian sending the handwritten letter, Guan Yu's heart suddenly came to life.

"My brother is really a good general of the Han Dynasty, even if Han Xin is alive, it is nothing more than that."

After that, Guan Yu handed over Liu Jian's letter to Gongsun Zhan, and said to him: "Brother Bo Jue, please take a look!" ”

Gongsun Chan only woke up after seeing Liu Jian's handwriting.

"It turns out that Deran asked me to wait to get the granary of the moth thief! I want to trap the moth thief in Qingzhou and make it collapse without a fight! ”

Guan Yu nodded and said: "Now in Qingzhou, those who fight against the moth thief take my brother and Da Sima first, and now the energy of the moth thief is on the two of them, and they will never scruple about us!" ”

"You and I are driving our troops to take down the moth thief's grain at this time, it's the right time!"

Gongsun Chan nodded slowly.

Then, he stretched out his hand and asked Guan Yu for Liu Jian's letter, looked at it carefully, and said, "De Ran asked you and me to ...... early next month." Marching? ”

"Yes!"

Gongsun Zhan thought carefully for a while, and suddenly understood Liu Jian's intentions.

"If you go out again next month, if you count the distance, when the supply of moth thieves is cut off, it will be the time of winter!?"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "Brother's clever calculation! Acting like this, the moth thief will no longer have the strength to fight against us! ”

Gongsun Zhan turned back and forth in the tent a few times, and suddenly said: "Yun Chang, although Deran's strategy is good, it's just that for us, the delay is too long, and you and I have been away from Youzhou for so long...... You need to know that our rear is not stable. ”

After Guan Yu heard this, he seemed to be in a daze.

The things that Gongsun Chan worries about in his heart are also the things that he worries about in his heart.

Guan Yu immediately said to the messenger: "Annoying you to return to General Zuo, and convey a word to General Zuo on behalf of you." ”

When the envoy faced Guan Yu's tall body, he was naturally shocked by his might, and he didn't dare to face it for a while.

"What's the matter with the captain, the last official will convey it to the lord on his behalf, not a word!"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said: "Before Guan and Brother Bo Qi came here, they had received news in Youzhou, from the county south of Yuyang, they have been in contact with Wuhuan in Liaoxi for nearly a year, although they are all on the grounds of commerce and trade, but they have frequent actions, although Guan and Brother Gongsun have no evidence at the moment, but the two of us feel that in the west of Youzhou, there must be someone plotting against them, and the action is not small!" ”

The messenger asked, "Do you have any evidence for the two captains?" ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "There is no actual evidence yet!" ”

"Are there any doubters?"

"There is no one who doubts!"

The messenger was a little confused.

The two of you said that someone in Youzhou wanted to rebel, but the evidence and the object of suspicion could not be found, and it was just guessed with some clues, so I just reported it directly to the envoy, which is a bit too child's play.

It seemed to see the hesitation on the envoy's face, Guan Yu said confidently: "Although there is no direct evidence, but Guan and Brother Gongsun have been fighting in the north for many years, this vision is still there, the people of Youzhou have been trading with the Wuhuan tribes in the north too frequently in recent years, and there must be someone plotting against them, Liu Jizhou and Guan are brothers, Guan and his brother have no barrier, there is one thing to say, you just have to convey this to Liu Jizhou!" ”

When the messenger saw that Guan Yu had said this, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he immediately agreed.

After the messenger left, Gongsun Chan asked Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, there are some things, there is no need to be too anxious, after the investigation is clear, and then I will explain to Deran, a guess, just tell him like this, it is a little ......."

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Between Guan and his brother, they trust each other, and there is no need to do more to embellish!" It doesn't hurt to be outspoken! ”

Gongsun Chan was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I really don't know how you brothers get along with each other!"

……

……

Liu Jian's envoy returned to Licheng as quickly as possible, and he explained Guan Yu's words to Liu Jian.

After the envoy finished speaking, everyone in the tent had their own thoughts.

The judge looked at Liu Jian with a smile and said: "This Guan Du Lieutenant is interesting, there is no evidence, just relying on speculation, I guess that there are people in Youzhou who have bad intentions, is it just because the locals have more trade with the Wuhuan people, can it be concluded that someone will betray the Han there?" ”

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Yun Chang is not a person who speaks falsely, Mr. Zhengnan has never been in contact with him, and he doesn't know who he is. ”

The judge said: "I'm not saying that Guan Yunchang is a person who speaks falsely, but at this time, breaking the yellow scarf is a serious matter, or don't add to the incident!" Affects the big picture. ”

Zhang Fei snorted and said, "Sir, are you so sure that what Yun Chang said is not true?" If what Yun Chang said is true, we will fight with the Yellow Turban on the front line, once there is a change in Youzhou, it may not only affect the land of Yuyang Upper Valley, but also Jizhou, which may not be able to keep the peace! ”

The judge stroked his beard and sneered.

Although he didn't answer Zhang Fei directly, looking at his appearance, he seemed to be quite disdainful.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei was anxious, turned his head to look at Liu Jian and said, "Brother! Who do you believe?! ”

Liu Jian said lightly: "Yide's words are inappropriate, whether it is Zhengnan, Yunchang, or you, they are all my confidants, and I believe the words of each of you." ”

When he said this, he saw Liu Jian turn his head to look at the trial again, and said, "Of course, I also hope that each of you can also trust each other!" It's like I believe in you! ”

Everyone bowed to Liu Jian in unison and said:

"Whoa!"

Liu Jian looked at the messenger and said, "I'm sorry for you to go again, tell Yun Chang, and say what he said, I already know, I have my own arrangements to go back, so that he can prepare to go south and raid the Yellow Turban Grain Road, don't be involved in other things!" ”

The messenger took the command and went again.

Subsequently, Liu Jian discussed the military situation with everyone again, and then let them disperse.

In fact, what Guan Yu and Gongsun Chan said, Liu Jian naturally knew in his heart.

Even, he knows the specific truth better than Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan.

The clues found by Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan, if there is no accident, it should be the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in history and Qiu Liju in Wuhuan in Liaoxi!

In fact, for these people, Liu Jian had already sent people to secretly investigate a long time ago, and found out their situation.

Although the affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou cannot be said to be all under Liu Jian's control, if there is any trouble, it will definitely not be hidden from him.

He had also estimated before that if Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan were transferred to the front line in Qingzhou, it was very likely that the crises hidden in their Youzhou would thunder one by one.

Liu Jian had also considered it before, secretly killing Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and solving the "Juchun Rebellion" caused by the two thieves without blood.

But after thinking about it later, Liu Jian gave up the idea.

It's better to wait for them to jump out and rebel, and then go on a campaign.

Although it is a little cumbersome and a little depressing, Liu Jian thinks that it should not be too difficult to solve these two guys.

As for the reason why the two thieves had to fight a war...... It's very simple, he needs a reason to enter Youzhou!

He is the pastor of Jizhou, and he can transfer troops and generals to conquer the northern border on his own, but the premise is that someone must form a real threat to the Han Dynasty in the northern frontier.

It's easy to send troops, but the name is important.

Youzhou is fine, what are you sending troops to occupy it?

Just like the last time he went to Luoyang, Liu Jian's name was King Qin, although he did not have an edict from the imperial court, but because of the current situation at the time, he found this reason to enter the army to Luoyang, there was no big problem, and it was within the acceptable range of everyone in the imperial court.

Now, he is in charge of Jizhou, although he has great power, but nominally, he can only exercise his power in Jizhou.

It's like waving troops to Qingzhou this time, this is because the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is rising, and he was ordered to come to quell the rebellion, so he has the opportunity to start contaminating the power of Qingzhou after the counterinsurgency.

The same is true in Youzhou.

If there is no large-scale rebellion in the northern part of Youzhou, he is a Jizhou pastor, even if he has the right to fake the festival, once he swings his army north into Youzhou, it is easy to fall behind and tell others.

Youzhou was originally Liu Jian's hometown, and he wanted to enter Youzhou, which was extremely sensitive to him, and he had to have a reason that could convince the world!

And after some careful planning, Liu Jian found that what reason was more suitable than the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun?

Let's not talk about how harmful their rebellion will be to the Han Dynasty, just by virtue of Zhang Ju's claim to be emperor, Liu Jian is to kill millions of people in Jizhou into Youzhou, and no one can say the slightest problem!

As a member of the Han family, in order to maintain the dignity of the Son of Heaven and the honor of the Han Dynasty, he raised the army of the country to kill the traitor who claimed the emperor, which is really justified!

These two babies, how can you get rid of him first? Be sure to give him a chance to rebel!

Liu Jian knows very well what he needs, and he also knows very well how to do some things.

If you want to achieve hegemony, you must first entrench in Jizhou and obtain sufficient resources, but if you want to conquer the world, you must have Youzhou.

Just when Liu Jian was thinking about these things, he saw that outside the handsome tent, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei turned back.

"You two are not worried about what Yun Chang said, are you?" Liu Jian asked them with a smile.

Liu Bei said: "Deran, what kind of person Yun Chang is, you and I both know it. I don't think this matter is as simple as what Zhen Zhengnan said. ”

Liu Jian said: "What my brother said is very true, I know this matter in my heart, over there in Youzhou, eighty or ninety percent of people are secretly planning a rebellion. ”

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were taken aback when they heard this.

Liu Bei said: "Deran, since you know that there are mutinous people in Youzhou, why do you insist on letting Yun Chang and Senior Brother Bo Jue stay here?" The longer they stay on the Qingzhou side, the higher the possibility of chaos on the Youzhou side. ”

Liu Jian said: "The matter of Youzhou, at least for now, is not completely certain, but the rebellion on the Qingzhou side is real. ”

"We can't give up the hard-won results of Qingzhou because of some predictions, if we do that, we will lose the war situation in the north and the east."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei listened to Liu Jian's words and fell silent.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Liu Jian was indeed right.

Liu Jian stood up and came to the mouth of the tent, and he looked at the dark clouds in the distance. A faint smile.

"It's soon, it's almost over, the matter in Qingzhou is almost over, and winter is coming."

………

Liu Jian and Guan Yu made an agreement. On the other hand, Sima Gu and Xu He also made sufficient preparations.

Although the quality of their soldiers and horses is not high, they are better than the number of people.

The huge population base of the million-strong Yellow Turban Army is here, and it is not difficult for them to keep an eye on Liu Jian and Liu Yu.

In their opinion, as long as these two lines of soldiers and horses are targeted, they will find an opportunity to break them...... Then there will be no one in Qingzhou who is their opponent.

But the two of them didn't dare to easily concentrate their forces to resist Liu Jian and Liu Yu now, so they could only stalemate.

More than 100,000 people and horses in Fuyun and Yuancheng were easily eaten by Liu Jian, and this combat power and ability to use troops are not comparable to ordinary people.

Sima Ju and Xu He are not idle people, they will not make the same mistakes as Fu and Yuancheng.

It's just that they also have a huge pressure right now.

"Brother Sima, winter is coming soon, we are now in a confrontation with Liu Yu and Liu Jian, if it goes on like this, our soldiers and horses are too small, and I am afraid that we will not be able to survive this winter here."

Sima Ju rubbed his eyebrows wistfully.

He naturally understood the meaning of Xu He's words.

"Brother Xu, I understand what you mean. This land of Qingzhou doesn't seem to be suitable for us to continue to stay! ”

"According to my intentions, it is better to move our men and horses south. The Han emperors and ministers still had a strong grip on the north. ”

"Stay in the north, the Luoyang side will send a future capable of fighting with us at any time, and we can't afford to spend it after we finish wave after wave."

"And it's hard for our men and horses to spend the winter in the north, and a winter will pass! Of the ten people, at least two or three had to freeze to death, and the damage was too great. ”

Xu He said: "Brother Sima's meaning is exactly what he means, in my opinion, let's go south." ”

"The cold winter in the south is still relatively easy to survive, although there is not so much fertile land for us to plunder, but it is always best to stay away from the Han court!"

Sima Ju said: "Go to the south? In my opinion, it's better to go to Yanzhou, after all, there is food to grab......"

"Let's go south!"

"It's better to go to Yanzhou!"

While the two were talking, they saw a yellow turban scout hurriedly walk in.

"Two Qu Shuai, something is wrong!"

The yellow turban scout looked terrified and trembled.

He looked at Sima Ju and Xu He back and forth, not knowing where to start.

"What's the alarm?" Sima Ju said with a frown.

"Qu Shuai, our tun grain, tun grain ......"

"What's wrong with the grain?"

"Qu Shuai, our grain has been burned!"

After saying a word, they suddenly saw that Sima Ju and Xu He were stupid, and the two of them were stunned in place, not knowing how to answer.
