Seeing Zhao Hui's large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, Yuan Shao convened Xun Chen and others every day to discuss countermeasures.

In the face of Zhao Hui's attack, Yuan Shao did not dare to be careless.

Now Zhao Hui's strength is definitely not weaker than him.

is Yuan Shao's biggest enemy.

It's just that Yuan Shao is not ready to go to war with Zhao Hui.

Qingzhou has not yet swept the tail, and Zhang Sai has not yet dealt with it.

Cao Cao almost lost Yanzhou, which was very unfavorable to Yuan Shao.

If he could, Yuan Shao would prefer to wait for Cao Cao to recapture Yanzhou, Zhang He to destroy Zhang Sai, and then start a war with Zhao Hui at that time.

It's just that now it's Zhao Hui who takes the initiative, and Yuan Shao has to take it even if he doesn't want to.

And Zhao Hui chose to attack Yuan Shao at this time, which also made Zhen Tu breathe a sigh of relief.

After he brought Zhen Mi back, Yuan Shao sent someone over to urge the marriage.

Zhen Tu was unwilling, so he married Zhen Mi to Yuan Xi.

Now Yuan Shao's main energy is restrained by Zhao Hui, he needs the help of the Zhen family very much at this time, so he can only stop forcing Zhen Tu for the time being, and instead win over.

Worried that the Zhen family would be pushed too hard, Zhen Tu turned his head and went to Zhao Hui.

Even if he risks losing people's hearts and minds and deals with Zhen Tu, but the Zhen family's huge industry, he can only get one or two percent at most.

With the Zhen family's huge wealth, even if it is only one or two percent, it is an unimaginable data, but it is still difficult for Yuan Shao to be satisfied.

What Yuan Shao expected in his heart was to swallow at least more than fifty percent of the Zhen family's wealth.

Last time, when Zhao Hui got the annexation of the state, Yuan Shao sent people to the grassland to contact the Xiongnu.

This time, in the face of Zhao Hui's large-scale attack, Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu to form an alliance with the Huns.

Not only the Huns, but also the Turks.

As long as you can pull it, you can stab Zhao Hui in the back.

Even the Xianbei and Karasuma clans are in Guo Tu's plan.

It's just that now these two clans are under the control of Zhao Hui, and it is very difficult for Guo Tu to get in touch, and if he is not careful, he will be left in Xianbei.

If Yuan Shao can still pull the Huns this time, the war between him and Zhao Hui will tilt the balance of victory in Yuan Shao's side.

The last time it had already been set up by Yuan Shao, this time Zhao Hui had already prepared.

Dozens of teams were sent to roam the steppes.

The sky is high and the birds fly in the prairie, and it is very difficult to stop a pair of people.

Zhao Hui didn't know where Guo Tu would go from, and he didn't even know that Yuan Shao had already sent Guo Tu.

He just sent people to try their luck on the steppe, and if they could meet the best, it didn't matter if they didn't, they could also monitor the movements of the Xiongnu Turks.

Yuan Shu was in the south and had completely occupied Yangzhou.

Seeing Cao Cao and Lu Bu fighting for Yanzhou, Yuan Shu's eyes turned to Xuzhou.

From the perspective of strength comparison, Xuzhou is still a little better than Jingzhou to attack.

Xuzhou fought two wars with Cao Cao in succession, and his vitality was already greatly damaged.

In Jingzhou, under the governance of Liu Biao in recent years, the people have lived in peace, and there are also 100,000 people.

With the various waterways of Jingzhou, it is still relatively difficult to capture Jingzhou.

The two warships that Yuan Shu bought from Zhao Hui could only run rampant on the Yangtze River, and although most of those small waterways could also pass, they had no advantage.

However, Yuan Shu did not choose Xuzhou in the end, and focused on Jingzhou.

Laying down Jingzhou, a Xuzhou is naturally not a problem.

Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have been contained.

It was a good time for Yuan Shu to attack Jingzhou.

From Lu Bu's entry into Yanzhou, to Zhao Hui's large-scale mobilization of troops and horses.

The various princes, who were already relatively stable, seemed to want to take advantage of this opportunity to make their power grow again.

In addition to Jiaozhou and Yizhou, the remaining eleven states are all in flames of war.

A large battlefield, with the participation of hundreds of thousands of people.

Small battlefields, tens of thousands, thousands.

Zhao Hui was still preparing, and the other princes had already started a war.

Yuan Shu also knew that no matter who won or lost between Zhao Hui and Yuan Shao, the strength of the victor would surpass him.

But as long as he takes Jingzhou, he is still the strongest prince.

"Lord, I want to go to Chang'an." Zhang Yan came to see Zhao Hui and said.

"What do you want to do in Chang'an?" Zhao Hui asked.

Zhang Yan: "I want to persuade Yang Fenglai to vote for the lord." ”

Yang Feng voted for Dong Zhuo, and with the killing of Dong Zhuo and the killing of the high-ranking officials of the Western Liang Army of Li Ru Niufu and others, Yang Feng's status in the Western Liang Army was also promoted.

Now his status is only below Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji. There are also tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands.

After Zhang Yan defected to Zhao Hui, he handed over all the Montenegrin army, and he himself was basically in a state of idleness for the past two years.

Zhao Hui didn't need to say that he didn't need him, but Youzhou had been relatively quiet in the past two years, and Zhang Yan would take a team of people and horses to fight bandits nearby or something.

The battle in Bingzhou, as well as Qingzhou, Zhao Hui did not let him go.

Even if Zhang Yan brought 100,000 Black Mountain troops, in Zhao Hui's heart, his weight was still not as good as Tai Shici and others.

After all, when Zhang Yan won Gongsun Du in Zhao Hui and dominated Youzhou, it was under the pressure of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao that Zhang Yan chose to take refuge in Zhao Hui.

It was difficult for Zhao Hui to see Zhang Yan's sincerity.

Zhao Hui will use him, but he will definitely not be as reused as Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and others.

In the past two years, Zhang Yan can also feel Zhao Hui's attitude towards him.

His ability is not as good as Tai Shi Ci Zhao Yun, but it will not be weaker than Zhou Cang Cheng Yuanzhi.

Everyone else has their own things to do, but Zhang Yan is the most idle.

Zhang Yan understands that it is difficult to wait for the opportunity to fall from the sky and fall on his head, and if he wants to change, he has to take the initiative himself.

If the opportunity does not come, he will have to find it himself.

Otherwise, you can really only retire here in Zhao Hui.

In the past two years, Zhao Hui has indeed not treated him badly, but he doesn't want to be idle every day.

He wouldn't be in his thirties now. Having experienced the life of Jin Ge Iron Horse, he didn't want to be as plain as water for the next twenty years.

Zhang Yan took the initiative to ask, and Zhao Hui also knew his thoughts.

Although Zhao Hui doesn't like Yang Feng very much.

But he still nodded and agreed to Zhang Yan's request.

He is now going to war with Yuan Shao, and with every additional point of strength, his chances of victory are higher.

Zhao Hui didn't want to hit Zhang Yan either, he refused Zhang Yan, it was inevitable that Zhang Yan would think more, and might even have the intention of leaving Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui said: "In addition to Yang Feng, you should also observe more, if there are any other talented generals in the Xiliang army, see if you can invite Jia Xu." ”

In the entire Xiliang Army, the one Zhao Hui wants to subdue most now is Jia Xu.

This is a top strategist no less than Guo Jia.

Strategists like Guo Jiajiaxu, in addition to giving advice, they are also far better than others in handling government affairs.

For Chang'an's side, although Zhao Hui also has intelligence sources, he has relatively few eyeliners.

A lot of top-secret news is still difficult to hear, and the news that comes back is much less timely.

Maybe it was still a very important piece of information at that time, but when it was put on Zhao Hui's table, it was useless. Just let Zhao Hui know what happened in Chang'an.
