Liu Bei and the three of them, when they responded.

Cao Cao had already assembled his troops and horses and officially declared war on Yuan Shu.

Chen Zhou followed the army to fight, and soon arrived at Qi County in Qian County, where the army was temporarily stationed in Qi County, waiting to meet Liu Bei who went south from Xiao Pei, but this meeting was only temporary, and Liu Bei would soon be driven back to Xiao Pei by Lu Bu.

At the same time, Cao Cao began to act according to Chen Zhou's plan, killing all the scouts and spies sent by Lü Bu to get close to Liu Bei, and temporarily blocking all kinds of news about Xiapi.

Their plan was that Liu Bei would leave Xiaopei first, and Lu Bu would go to battle later.

"According to our information, Liu Bei led his troops south three days ago, and Lu Bu also left Xiapi a day ago."

"Liu Bei is going to Qi County, and there is probably one more day."

"Sun Ce raised troops in Huiji, rebelled against Chen Yu, and got the support of the four surnames of Wu County to raise troops in the south of Yuan Shu."

"For a while, Yuan Shu had a tendency to be surrounded."

Guo Jia read the news he had recently received briefly.

This is the fate of the emperor now, it is easy to be beaten by the group, and there are people who betray it internally.

Cao Cao said: "When can the plan of crossing the city begin?" ”

"There's no hurry!"

"The first person to fight with Yuan Shu, if I guessed correctly, it was Lu Bu."

"Wait until Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have a fight, and after we meet Liu Bei, we will make a plan."

"At this time, Lu Bu must advance to Huainan in one go, the army is farther away from Xiapi, and suddenly learns that Xiapi may be in danger, so that he will rush back more anxiously, and attack Xiaopei first."

Chen Zhou said confidently and calmly.

"Then follow Wataruki's plan and go ahead."

Cao Cao didn't think about it, he agreed directly, and said: "I have already ordered Xu Gongming and Li Mancheng to lead troops from Xiao County on the south side of Pei County, bypassing Pengcheng and approaching Pi, do you need to engage with Lu Bu in a short army?" ”

"It's better to fight."

Chen Zhou pondered for a while, and continued: "But don't fight too deeply, feint and retreat, if you still have time, make some military flags on Liu Bei's side, hang them in our army, and confuse the judgment of Lu Bu and others." ”

"That's great!"

Cao Cao said and asked, "How do we fight Yuan Shu?" ”

Guo Jia analyzed: "According to Watari's idea, fighting with Yuan Shu is mainly about pulling and protracted combat, right?" ”

"Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye!"

Chen Zhou laughed and continued: "The focus of our battle is first in Xuzhou, and then in Shouchun. Fight with Yuan Shu, don't go too deep, you can contain Yuan Shu's troops. If I guessed correctly, Yuan Shu will let his subordinates Li Feng, Liang Gang and Le go north to fight with the lord, the three of them are not great generals and brave generals, nor are they commanders of 10,000 enemies, it is quite easy to contain them, and it will not affect us to take Xuzhou. ”

With his knowledge of history, it was easy to deal with this battle.

"Good!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he had no worries, and he was no longer anxious, so he stayed in Qi County and waited.

With Chen Zhou, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

——

Yuan Shu was a little uneasy.

Less than half a month after becoming emperor, Cao Cao, Lü Bu and Liu Bei successively sent troops to Huainan to approach.

Sun Ce, who surrendered to him, raised troops from Huiji, and also received the support of the family.

Although Liu Biao did not send troops on the surface, he cut off all contact with him, and even did not allow commerce, and the place where Jingzhou and Yangzhou met was then on guard, and it seemed that he also had the intention of directly entering Huainan.

In an instant, Yuan Shu fell into an ambush on three sides.

Even if he owned half of the Yuan clan, in the face of such a scene, he would inevitably be a little flustered, regretting that he didn't listen to Yan Xiang's persuasion at that time.

It is true that now is not the time to ascend the throne and become emperor.

But the matter of being called emperor cannot be withdrawn.

Once you do the beginning, you have to do it hard, and you have to figure out how to deal with the current situation.

Not only Yuan Shu was uneasy, but so were the rest of his subordinates.

Not long after their Zhong dynasty was established, it was on the verge of being destroyed at any time.

"How?"

Yuan Shu gathered the strategists around him, and on the palace where he was the emperor, he asked this very urgent question.

"The minister thinks, first in peace."

It was Yan Xiang who thought of the fastest way to deal with it, plus Yuan Shu had already been proclaimed emperor, so his title changed, and he continued: "Sun Ce's dependence, Danyang soldiers!" Although the four families of Wu Jun and other families can give him a lot of help, the main force around him is still the people left by Sun Jian back then, as well as the Danyang soldiers, and the minister thinks that he can start with Danyang first. ”

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "How to start?" ”

"The biggest Shanyue leader in Danyang is the Danyang Sect Marshal Zulang, as long as His Majesty asks people to bring jewelry and property, and then promises to seal the official and rebel against Zulang, he can cut off Sun Ce's Danyang military source."

Yan Xiang analyzed: "In addition, if Zulang suppresses Sun Ce, we can also guard against Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and if we can temporarily stabilize internally, we can fight externally, and we can concentrate the main force and fight with Lu Bu and Cao Cao!" ”

When Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Jian and Yang Hong nodded one after another, both thinking that Yan Xiang's words were good.

"Arrange someone immediately, contact Zu Lang, don't be stingy, give more money."

Yuan Shu directly adopted Yan Xiang's suggestion, and said loudly: "In addition, Li Feng, Liang Gang and Le Jiao, the three of you will lead 30,000 troops, go north to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, you lead 30,000 troops, go down to Pi first, strike first, and defeat Lu Bu." ”

"Command!"

Everyone responded in unison.

This battle, they don't want to fight.

Now, if you don't want to fight, you can't do it.

Within the spring of Shou, grain and grass, the army, quickly mobilized.

Yang Hong received the order and went to Danyang to meet the Shanyue leader Zu Lang.

——

Chen Zhou is in Cao Jun, and there is not much he can do.

It is probably to give Cao Cao advice and correct the direction, there is no need to fight a war, just wait for the result of the war.

For this reason, he specifically asked Cao Cao to ask for a post in the army.

The affairs of the former army, all kinds of intelligence in the army, with Guo Jia here, he can fish openly.

As soon as he arrived at the rear army camp, someone immediately came to greet him.

"Are you called Wang Yuan?"

Chen Zhou looked at the other party and asked.

Wang Gao asked in shock: "Mr. knows me?" ”

It's really him!

The party with the sentence "Your wife and I support yourself, you don't have to worry about it" appeared in front of Chen Zhou's eyes.

However, according to the current situation in Cao Ying, Wang Yuan should not be able to die, and there is no shortage of food now, in the tomb of King Wai of Zhongshan, the gold and jewelry dug up have not been used up, and the grain bought back is still piled up.

"Guess!"

Chen Zhou listened to Wang Yuan's doubts and replied casually.

Next, he stayed in the rear army camp for the time being.

But early the next morning, Wang Yuan came to tell him that Liu Bei had finally arrived.

Liu Bei came a little faster than Chen Zhou expected.
