When everyone left the hall, Long Xiang and Lu Su rose up opposite each other.

"Yunqi is still worried about Sun Ce's surprise attack?"

Lu Su asked in a low voice, and then helped analyze and comfort: "Jiangdong is in full swing at this time, and if you want to fight Hefei, you won't hide it, and you won't come to Chaohu Lake when you pass by, either the soldiers are tired and need to rest, or there is a military disaster in the rear that needs to be solved."

"Yamagoe in turmoil?"

Lu Su shook his head lightly: "Pingshanyue doesn't need so many people, I estimate that Guangling Chen Deng has a move, otherwise Sun Ce wouldn't be in such a hurry."

"Chen Yuanlong? It's a great character." Long Xiang nodded in the affirmative.

Although Long Xiang had followed the mission to Xiapi before, he had no chance to meet Chen Deng, Han Yin had a lot of complaints about this person, and Lu Bu generals such as Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and Qin Yilu spoke highly of Chen Deng.

Guangling under Chen Deng's rule was sparsely populated, and he was still able to do things in the rear of Jiangdong, which shows that he was stronger than Liu Xun, Huang Zu and other separatist forces.

Lu Su analyzed: "The uncle and nephew of the Chen family and Sun Ce have never been on good terms, Guangling goes south to cross the river is Wu County, and the threat to Jiangdong is much greater than Hefei, if Uncle Liu Huang comes to Huainan with his troops, he can unite with Chen Deng to balance Sun Ce and reduce the pressure on our side, whether it is to go north to the Central Plains to win the championship, or to go south to Jiangdong to replace the Sun family, it will be much easier."

"Chen Yuanlong..."

Long Xiang hummed the name softly and thought about it, and suddenly the words changed: "Zi Jing knows that I like to deduce all possibilities, if you don't come to Hefei, what can I do?"

"If you don't come... Hiss..."

Lu Su looked at Long Xiang and frowned, and said in his heart that this kind of ending was really possible.

After all, Liu Bei is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it is not good to go to the rest of Yuan Shu's army, Cao Cao will regard Liu Bei as a mortal enemy because of the edict, and it is impossible to ignore it when he flees to Huainan.

Thinking of this, Lu Su looked solemn and said solemnly: "If Uncle Huang doesn't come to Hefei, Yunqi can only keep his light and make friends with Chen Deng secretly.

"Well, that's what I meant."

Long Xiang nodded slightly, he understood that the enemy of the enemy was a friend, but Chen Deng was not simple, Liu Bei might be able to suppress him, but he didn't have confidence.

"The New Year is approaching, Luo Xu and the two have left Hefei for more than a month, I don't know if they will arrive in Xiaopei now?"

Lu Su frowned and muttered to himself, followed by a sigh: "I forgot to remind me at the beginning, I should have explained one more sentence..."

"What?" Long Xiang's face was full of curiosity.

Lu Su brushed his beard and said: "Uncle Huang can stand firm in Xuzhou, the Chen family should have a good impression, if he writes a letter to Chen Deng, it is better than Yunqi to make friends himself..."

"Hmm... That's right."

Long Xiang affirmed and then changed the conversation: "But if you can hold Xuzhou, the issues we are discussing today will not be a problem..."

Lu Su was noncommittal, looked outside the hall and muttered, "If Uncle Huang can hold Xuzhou, then Cao Cao will be defeated, and the Liu family may be surnamed Yuan..."

Yuan Shao's command is already full of talents, if he defeats Cao Cao to unify the north, it is estimated that there will be no opportunity to display their talents like Zhou Yu and Lu Su, let alone a big war like Chibi and Yiling.

Lu Su may be sighing for himself, or he may be sighing for Liu Bei, Sun Ce and other princes.

Long Xiang patted his arm lightly, and said meaningfully: "If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, Yuan Shao has been too smooth all these years, God will not always favor him, and the starlight will live up to the passers-by..."

"Starlight lives up to the passers-by..."

Lu Su nodded lightly, looking at Long Xiang for sure: "It makes sense, the people have been full of energy in the past two months, and a lot of fertile soil has been reclaimed in the upper reaches of the water application.

"What happens to Xuzhou, it's not something we can control, but according to the distance calculation, Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei should have arrived in Xiaopei, and now it is the end of the year and the beginning of the year, so the envoy may stay with them for a few days, and wait until they return to Hefei just in time

Spring ploughing..."

"Well, the sense of happiness is comparable, Xiaopei has been in war all these years, even if the Chinese New Year is not as good as Hefei's life, their return journey must be light..."

Long Xiang and Lu Su discussed Xiaopei's life in Hefei, while Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei really lived in Xiaopei.

The two were ordered to go to Xuzhou to deliver the letter, perhaps because they didn't choose a day when they went out, but when they arrived in Xiaopei, they couldn't enter the city smoothly when they encountered a war.

The news of Liu Bei's seizure of Xuzhou reached Xudu, when Cao Cao was leading troops to Liyang to take Yuan Shao.

At this time, the men and horses of various departments in Hebei were assembling on the front line of the Yellow River, and saw Cao Cao's troops to Liyang to confront each other.

Yuan Shao did not rush to cross the river to start a war, but while preparing war materials, he secretly made moves behind Cao Cao.

The envoys sent by Yecheng went south in batches, some went to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, some went to Runan to contact the old Yuan family, some went to Jiangdong to encircle Sun Ce, and some sent people to Cao Cao's side to plot rebellion.

Liu Bei's killing of the car to seize Xuzhou is just a variable, and it is an unexpected surprise for Yuan Shao.

In the face of Hebei's strong enemy, Cao Cao's main force did not dare to move in a hurry, and in the face of Liu Bei's sudden rebellion, he chose to forbear for the first time, but ordered Zang Ba, who was disturbing Qingzhou, to withdraw to Xuzhou.

It's a pity that Changba, who also belongs to the Taishan Army, also rebelled, and he responded to Liu Bei's uprising in Donghai County.

Cao Cao's only chess piece in Xuzhou just chose to wait and see for a while.

Yuan Shao shot a black gun in the back, and a lot of information was intercepted by Cao Jun, and Cao Cao had to see the move.

Cao Cao led the main force out of Liyang to divide the troops and officers to cross, and ordered Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, to guard the Baima Ferry, leaving the forbidden department to guard the Yanjin Ferry, and he himself returned to Xudu to deal with the threat in the rear.

Liu Bei's new rebellion in Xuzhou was not stable, at that time the situation in Jingzhou was the most important, although Liu Biao was stumped by the Jingnan rebellion, and would not necessarily send troops to deal with Yuan Shao, but Wancheng was too close to Xudu, and if the main force of Cao's army fought along the Yellow River, Zhang Xiu's existence would be very dangerous.

After Cao Cao sent an envoy to Yuan Shao, he also sent an envoy to Zhang Xiu to surrender.

Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao had a grudge against their sons, and originally wanted to take refuge in the more powerful Yuan Shao, but they were rejected by Jia Xu, who was sober in the world.

Jia Xu took charge on behalf of Zhang Xiu and rudely drove away the envoy from Hebei, so that Zhang Xiu changed from choosing one of the two to having no choice.

Jia Xu's thinking is very clear, Zhang Xiu's surrender to Yuan Shao is just the icing on the cake, it is better to take refuge in Cao Cao to benefit from sending charcoal in the snow, Cao Cao indirectly helped Jia Xu, not only solved the crisis in the southwest of Xudu, but also got Zhang Xiu's 10,000 Western Liang soldiers.

Cao Cao then took Zhang Xiu to the Guandu battlefield, and when he rested in his tent at night, he was met with his attendant Xu He and others to launch a rebellion.

It happened suddenly, fortunately Cao Cao had the habit of putting a knife next to his pillow, he used a knife to fight with the guards to resist, and later the tiger and leopard riding guard Cao Xiu brought people to protect the lord, only to resolve this internal rebellion in a thrilling way.

Needless to say, these are Yuan Shao's means.

After this main killing, Cao Cao had to strengthen his defenses, as he injured his arm in the rebellion.

At night, the wound hurt so much that he couldn't sleep, so he used the pain to think about other threats, Cao Cao immediately thought of Liu Bei, remembering that the two of them were cooking wine in the house and talking about heroes.

Liu Beixin's foothold in Xuzhou was not stable, and Cao Cao then sent the chief of the air force, Shi Peiguo, Liu Dai, and Zhonglang to bring Fufeng Wang Zhong to lead troops to conscript.

intended to drag Liu Bei Bei and restrain the main battlefield in the north, but unfortunately the second general was incompetent and could not follow his mind.
