Zhang Xian is the Taishou of Changsha, who has been operating Changsha for many years and has won the hearts of the people.

Although he is Liu Biao's subordinate, he and Liu Biao are at odds, and the two sides have enmity, and now they can only say that they succumb to Liu Biao.

"Mingfu."

At this time, Changsha Gong Cao Huan stepped in.

Ming Mansion is the honorific title of the Han people for Taishou, and Zhang Xian is Changsha Taishou, which can also be called Ming Mansion.

After Huan Wen came in, he bowed and said, "I just got the news, Hebei Yuan Benchu, sent a text to crusade against Cao Sikong, Henan and Hebei, and soon a fight will start." ”

Zhang Xian dealt with government affairs, put down the bamboo slip when he heard the words, raised his head and asked: "Yuan Benchu and Cao Sikong have a battle, sooner or later, Hebei and Henan, only one person can be the leader, but what does this have to do with me?" ”

"It's a big deal!"

Huan Jie sat down and analyzed: "Yuan Benchu sent a document to crusade against Cao Sikong, and there was also an edict from the Son of Heaven, which was said to have been brought out by Uncle Liu Huang. The Son of Heaven thought that Cao Sikong was cruel and no different from Dong Zhuo, so he asked Uncle Liu Huang to call on the princes of the world to destroy Cao. Liu Jingzhou is the royal prince of the Han family, under the edict of the Son of Heaven, will he have no movement? Troops must be dispatched to respond. ”

Zhang Xian thought about it seriously, and felt that Huanjie's words made some sense, and then shook his head and said, "So what?" ”

Huan Jie said: "The chance for revenge in the Ming Mansion is here!" Now that the etiquette is broken, the Han family is shaken and uneasy, and the Son of Heaven only has the name of the Son of Heaven, which is nothing. The Ming Mansion and Liu Jingzhou have a feud, why not take advantage of the opportunity of Liu Jingzhou to send troops north and attack Yingchuan, sneak attack Jiangling and other places, and avenge the revenge of the year? ”

Zhang Xian couldn't look at the official document in front of him, listened to Huan Jie's words, thought about it for a long time, and asked: "What does Huan Gong Cao mean, is it for me to take refuge in Cao Sikong?" ”

"Yes!"

"Cao Sikong, is Yuan Shao's opponent?"

"If Liu Jingzhou sent troops, Cao Sikong would not be possible, but Liu Jingzhou was attacked by the Ming Mansion and could not send troops north, so it was not necessarily."

Huan Jie said: "In fact, everyone underestimated Cao Sikong's strength, when attacking Yuan Shu, although I did not participate in the battle, I also happened to pass by and saw that Cao Sikong's subordinates were strong and strong, and the gap between the troops and Yuan Shao was not big, and it was not certain who would win and who would lose in the fight." ”

Zhang Xian was silent.

Huan Jie continued: "If you fight, the Ming Mansion still has a chance to take revenge. ”

"If you don't fight, there's nothing."

"When Cao Sikong needed it most, we raised troops against Liu Jingzhou and took refuge in Cao Sikong, if Cao Sikong defeated Yuan Shao, the Ming Mansion would definitely be reused."

"If we can't defeat Yuan Shao, we will take this opportunity to seize the southern part of Jingzhou."

"If Liu Jingzhou helps Yuan Shao defeat Cao Sikong, and the Ming Mansion wants to take revenge, it will be even more difficult."

Huanjie's words made Zhang Xian's heart moved.

Now that the army is rising, it seems to be quite good.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xian really wants to seek revenge on Liu Biao.

Considering the end, Zhang Xian nodded slightly and agreed to raise troops.

——

Xiangyang.

Liu Biao got Yuan Shao's inscription, and also saw the transcribed edict of the Son of Heaven.

Although Yuan Shao said that he would let Liu Bei open up a second battlefield, he would not rely on one Liu Bei alone, and if he could lead others to attack Yingchuan, it would naturally be the best.

If the other princes don't want to attack, then his inscription is to go through the process, enter the Xu capital in the future, and take away the Son of Heaven, which seems to be very justifiable.

When Liu Biao got the text, he immediately sent the strategists around him to discuss.

"Cao Cao is a thief who holds the Son of Heaven hostage, but why is Yuan Shao not?"

The strategist Kuai Yue first said: "The subordinates think that the envoy should not be involved, and we in Jingzhou should stabilize the internal and develop gradually, instead of fighting with Yuan Cao, this struggle is only afraid that it will not be profitable." ”

Hearing this, Liu Biao asked: "If Yuan Shao breaks Xu Du, it is very likely that he will be the next Cao Cao, who may go more than Cao Cao and will embark on the path of Yuan Shu." ”

If Cao Cao is gone, then Yuan Shao is even stronger.

It is not impossible to usurp the throne as emperor.

"At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely go south, what about us?" Liu Biao continued to ask.

"Back to the lord."

Han Chongzuo said: "If Yuan Shao wants to go south, we shouldn't help Yuan Shao fight Cao Cao, the more fierce the fight in the north, the more time we have for Jingzhou to develop our troops, and we will be able to defend against the enemy in the future." ”

Pang Ji echoed: "Jingxiang is different from Hebei, Yuan Shao can be in Hebei, but if he goes south to Jingxiang, he will definitely not be able to get benefits, we have to reject Yuan Shao, in fact, it is not difficult, but we should not send troops to fight Yingchuan and help Yuan Shao." ”

Liu Biao was silent.

These scribes in front of him are all local wealthy families in Jingzhou.

It is not easy for Liu Biao to ask him to go out of the mountain to assist him.

But what they represent is the interests of the wealthy family in Jingzhou.

In the event of war, interests will inevitably be damaged.

They don't want their interests to be damaged, and they don't want Liu Biao to fight this battle.

For example, when Liu Biao died of illness and Cao Cao's army pressed the border, the wealthy family of Jingzhou was willing to take Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao, rather than fighting and resisting.

Liu Biao had to rely on them again, and did not dare to fall out with the family, he was in Jingzhou back then, but at this time, he had no ambition for a long time.

To put it simply, it's old.

As a royal prince, Liu Biao wants to fight.

Entering Yingchuan and greeting the Son of Heaven, he also wanted to get a righteous name.

"Envoy."

At this time, Cai Mao ran in and said eagerly: "Oh no, Changsha Zhang Xian, who has rebelled, has already moved to Lingling and Guiyang, once he succeeds, he will definitely attack Jiangling." ”

"What!"

Liu Biao was shocked.

The counsellors were also shocked.

How could Zhang Xian rebel, the war they didn't want to fight was still going to rise.

At this time, Jian Yong was riding a horse to Xiangyang.

——

Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to plunder the grain and grass that Yuan Shao had crossed the river.

He himself led the remaining soldiers and strategists to leave Xudu, and the army marched north.

Last year, Cao Cao built a military fortress in Guandu, preparing to pull Yuan Shao's battle line to the vicinity of Guandu to contend with Yuan Shao.

Prepare to be here, use Chen Zhou's plan, completely defeat Yuan Shao, achieve a big victory, and then wave the army across the river and point the sword at Yecheng.

Chen Zhou reluctantly, separated from his wife at home, and came to Guandu with the army.

By the time we arrived at Guandu, it was already mid-March.

"Good news, lord."

Guo Jia came in from outside and shouted: "There is news from Jiangdong's fine work, Sun Ce was assassinated in hunting, and an arrow hit him in the cheek. ”

"Really?"

Cao Cao took the news abruptly and read it over and over again.

Because Chen Zhou has said more than once that Sun Ce's life will not be long, and the Jiangdong Sun clan will not respond to Yuan Shao, let alone have time to raise troops, this is about to come true.

"Sun Ce, are you dead?"

Chen Zhou asked.

Unexpectedly, Xu Gong's doorman, the assassination came so quickly.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "If you want to say that Sun Ce is also hard-hitting, he can't die from an arrow in his cheek, it is said that he is dying, and he is not far from death, Jiangdong's worries, don't worry about it for the time being." ”

It turned out that he wasn't dead yet.

Chen Zhou was thinking that Sun Ce was going to die, and he had to wait for a while.
