When Yuan Shao learned that Cao Ang asked him for money and food again, he couldn't help but scold.

"What do you think of me as this Cao family's father and son? Granary treasury? As soon as there is a war, in the name of the imperial court, ask me for money and food? I really want to go south first and destroy their Cao father and son! ”

When he heard this, he agreed: "Lord, the land of Youzhou is narrow and sparsely populated, and Gongsun Chan is huddled there, which is really not enough to threaten, so it is the best choice to take the opportunity to go south to destroy Cao!" ”

Guo Tu on the side heard this, and jumped out directly: "Nonsense, our army has already rushed to the north and is preparing for a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan, how can it be possible to go south again?" This time and again, it will cost more grain and grass, please think twice! ”

Seeing this, he scolded Guo Tu: "You are a woman's opinion!" Originally, Cao Ang threatened the lord to hand over money and grain to use to levy Yuan Shu, so why couldn't these money and grain be used to mobilize the army? ”

"Then what if Gongsun Chan in the north takes the opportunity to sneak attack us?" Guo Tu said loudly: "You know, even if Cao Cao and Cao Ang are now focused on Yuan Shu's side, the defenders on Qingzhou's side add up to fifty or sixty thousand, and the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou army has always been very high. ”

"In addition, Yu Ban, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if we want to take Qingzhou quickly, we need to mobilize the two generals of Wenyan."

"At that time, the rear will be empty, Gongsun Chan will take the opportunity to sneak attack, and the lord will be in danger!"

Fu Zhi retorted: "Isn't there still two generals Zhang He and Gaolan, the two of them defend Gongsun Zhan, it's enough!" ”

Yuan Shao listened to the two people arguing, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't quarrel, my head is big when I quarrel!" ”

When Fu Zhu and Tian Feng heard this, they both closed their mouths.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao made a decision: "Then Cao Thief and Cao Ang Xiao'er, ask for money and food, then give them some, this big plan to attack Gongsun Zhan cannot be changed!" ”

When he heard this, he wanted to say something, but Yuan Shao waved his hand, signaling that he was tired, and then left directly.

"Alas!" Frustrated, he could only sigh at this.

Guo Tu, on the other hand, glanced at the frustrated professor and left directly.

In fact, Guo Tu, although he is not good at making suggestions, he is good at guessing Yuan Shao's thoughts, and he can be right every time, which also causes Yuan Shao to seem to like to use Guo Tu's strategies.

But in fact, these plans were all in Yuan Shao's own mind, and he just said it through Guo Tu's mouth.

……

Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan, also received an edict from the imperial court.

After Gongsun Chan read the edict, he angrily threw the edict directly to the ground.

"This Cao Apu and Cao Ang are really insatiable, there was a crusade against the Xiliang rebels as an excuse before, and they asked me for money and food once, and this crusade against Yuan Shu asked for money!"

"My Youzhou is at risk of being swallowed up by that Yuan Shao, he didn't even say to help, he knew all day long to ask for money and food! No, not a single point! ”

Gongsun Chan angrily drove away the envoys of the imperial court, saying that he would not give a penny of grain to Cao Cao and Cao Ang.

……

Jingzhou, Liu Biao.

Liu Qi took Cao Ang's handwritten letter back to Jingzhou City and brought it to Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao saw Liu Qi, who had disappeared for so many days, he inevitably became angry with his eldest son.

After all, in the past few days, Cai's has not been saying bad things about Liu Qi in front of Liu Surface.

"You rebel, you are about to go to war in front of you, you don't help your father solve problems and do a good job of defense, but you run out to have fun?"

Liu Qi saw that he had disappeared for so many days, and his father did not care first, but blamed first, and his heart suddenly cooled.

But he didn't blame his father, because he knew that it was all the woman of the Cai family, who was stirring up the relationship between their father and son.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi sighed, knelt in front of his father and explained: "Father, the child is indeed going to solve problems for his father, father, please see!" ”

As Liu Qi spoke, he took out Cao Ang's handwritten book and handed it to Liu Biao.

"What is this?" Liu Biaohu took the handwriting suspiciously, and he thought that this was the military book or strategy that Liu Qi got somewhere.

When I opened it, it was Cao Ang's handwriting.

Liu Biao had once united with Cao Ang and beat Yuan Shu together, so he was familiar with Cao Ang's handwriting, not to mention that there was Cao Ang's exclusive hussar general seal on it.

"This is Cao Zixuan's handwriting, how did you get it?"

When Liu Qi heard this, he told him about going to Xuzhou and seeing Cao Ang.

"Okay, good, please get up, it's your father's fault for you!" Liu Biao said, and helped Liu Qi up.

In fact, Liu Biao only wanted to defend at first, but did not want to send troops, because he was afraid that he would lose the territory that he would defeat and eventually be taken back by the imperial court, which would be a big loss.

But right now, Cao Ang personally promised that as long as he Liu Biao fought down the territory, it would be under his Liu Biao's control!

How does this make Liu Biao not moved?

After Liu Biao thought about it, he asked Cai Mao to lead people to attack Yuan Shu from Jiangxia, while he himself personally led his troops from Changsha to attack Yangzhou.

"Father, the child also wants to go to the battlefield and share his father's worries!" Liu Qi arched his hand at Liu Biao, indicating that he would also go to the battlefield.

However, how could Liu Biao not go in person for this kind of territorial expansion?

I saw Liu Biao patting Liu Qi on the shoulder and said: "For my father to lead the troops to the battle, this Jingzhou City naturally has to leave people to govern, if you don't stay, do you want to hand it over to that woman?" ”

Liu Qi also knew that the woman in Liu Biao's mouth was Cai's.

This Jingzhou City is the inheritance of their father and son, and it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to a woman with a foreign surname.

So Liu Qi could only nod: "The child will congratulate his father in advance on opening up the territory, and the child will definitely prepare a banquet in advance to welcome your father's triumphant return!" ”

Liu Biao was very useful for this, as if he had won Yuan Shu and won several counties in Yangzhou!

……

Yuzhou, Geyang.

Cao Ang had returned to Yuzhou from Xuzhou and officially sent a war letter to Yuan Shu, declaring war on him.

As soon as this war book was issued, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu of Xuzhou responded one after another, and each led troops to attack Yangzhou.

At this time, in Shouchun City, after Yuan Shu learned that he was besieged, he did not panic at all.

Because at this time, with the money and grain of Yangzhou, he already had 500,000 soldiers.

Even if it is a multi-front battle, he can fight this battle!

"Generals, then Cao Ang, Tao Qian, and Liu Biao are divided into three reverses and attack my Dazhong, but who wants to worry about me?"

Yuan Shu was high above and looked at the generals below.

At this time, Yan Xiang stood up: "Your Majesty, in fact, this battle is not indispensable!" ”
