Lü Bu's army marched towards the county seat of Hanoi, and at the same time, letters to Yuan Shao had flown to Jizhou.

In the council hall of the state governor's mansion, there are a lot of talents, there are enough people in thirty or forty people, and a large number of civil and military officials under Yuan Shao have gathered.

What is different from the past is that there are three more unfamiliar faces in the council hall today.

The three of them stood in a position biased towards the outside of the hall, the man in the middle looked gentle, but had a pair of eye-catching big earlobes, and the two next to him stood behind this person, one with a leopard head and ringed eyes, a strong physique, and the other was nine feet long, with heavy jujube and silkworm eyebrows.

All of them are extraordinary.

These three people are the three brothers Liu Guanzhang who have been famous recently.

After successfully rescuing Beihai County Shoukong Rong, Liu Bei's fame and popularity have grown a lot. Later, Yuan Shao sent the general Liyi to attack Qingzhou, and Liu was ordered to defend Gaotang and blocked Liyi.

However, at that time, the moth thieves who rose in Qingzhou were rampant, resulting in the grain and grass transported to Gaotang being robbed many times, and under internal and external troubles, Liu Bei had to abandon the city and leave, but on the way to be ambushed by Liyi, in desperation, he could only choose to surrender.

Knowing that Liu Bei was obedient, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and specially sent someone to bring Liu Bei to Yedi and treat him as a guest.

Although Liu Bei once helped Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai to fight against him, but Yuan Shao is a person who cherishes feathers, Liu Bei is in the name of the royal family, whether it is true or not is unknown, but at least it is recognized by the people among the people.

Yuan Shao wanted to take this opportunity to show the world and win a good reputation for being courteous, virtuous and humble.

However, Lu Bu's letter made Yuan Shao change color, he slammed his right fist on the desk, and couldn't suppress his angry yelling: "Bastard!" ”

Yuan Shao's sudden anger made all the subordinate officers and generals below confused, and Tian Feng, who was standing in the front row, came out and asked, "Lord, but something big happened?" ”

Yuan Shao held the letter in his hand and gritted his teeth: "Lu Bu, this guy is simply too deceitful!" He actually asked me for 2 million stone grain and grass in a high-sounding manner, and said that it was for the people of Wen County. That's a nice thing to say, but where did I get him so much food and grass in a short time! ”

The food and clothing of ordinary people in a month adds up to five or six stone of grain. In this way, a full two million stones are enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

The same is true for the military.

Yuan Shao is not a fool, how can he give away two million stones of grain and grass for nothing, and he will not be a lamb to be slaughtered. What's more, now Yuan Shao's ministers are fierce generals, with more than 100,000 people in armor, and he thinks that his strength is not weaker than Lu Bu.

Knowing that Lu Bu asked Jizhou for such a huge amount of grain and grass, all the strategists and generals under the council hall exploded.

"Lord, Lu Bu killed my cousin Gao Yuan, and this time he threatened the lord, it is extremely arrogant! Is it tolerable or unbearable, the last general asked to be the vanguard and go to thwart Lu Bu's spirit. ”

Below the hall, a young man came out of the ranks and said loudly, looking at the look on his face, he was obviously extremely angry.

Everyone regarded it as a capturing general and a high-ranking cadre.

In terms of generation, Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and whenever there is a family feast in private, Gao Gan is mostly referred to as 'uncle'. Relying on this relationship, the official rank of a senior cadre can rise all the way.

Gao Gan wanted to avenge his cousin, and Yuan Shao understood very well.

But as the ruler of Jizhou, he obviously couldn't just listen to one-sided words, he glanced around the hall and set his eyes on the few henchmen in front.

"Lord, Lu Bu sent a letter to Guguan this time, ostensibly under the banner of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, saying that he was going to crusade against Li Dao Guo Yan, who was entrenched in Changshan County. But who dares to guarantee that he didn't get involved in Jizhou's thoughts? ”

Frustration, who has a strong sense of distress, hit the nail on the head, assuming that Lu Bu only asks for 10,000 or 20,000 stones of grain and grass, maybe Yuan Shao can still give it. But as soon as you open your mouth, it is two million stones, and pure fragmentation is difficult for a strong man.

Once Yuan Shao didn't give it, Lu Bu had a reason to attack Jizhou.

I saw this very thoroughly.

"My lord, what you said is good. And no matter if we can gather two million stone of grain, even if we can get it, we must not give it to Lu Bu. Everyone knows that Lu Bu is a jackal, and he is addicted to killing, if he enters Jizhou, it will be bloody and bloody, and the lives will be ruined......"

"Lao Tzu is not afraid that he is the best in the world, lord, let's do it with him!"

"That's right, we let Lu Bu know that this is Jizhou, not his Guanyong land!"

This time, whether it was a literati strategist or a general or a martial artist, almost all of them tacitly reached a consensus, that is, they must not exchange grain and grass with Yi Lu Bu.

The martial arts under his command are united and ready to fight.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao's ambition was greatly boosted, and he immediately shouted and made a decision: "Okay, since you have this ambition and fighting spirit, then I will lead the Hebei soldiers to fight with him Lu Bu!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the strategists and generals in the hall all shouted in unison: "The lord is wise!" ”

However, when Yuan Shao made a decision, a group of civil and military officials under him quarreled over strategic policies.

"My lord, if Lu Bu comes from Hanoi for a long journey, our army can take advantage of his fatigue to gather here in Yang, outflank him from both flanks, and then annihilate the enemy army in one go!" Since Yuan Shao led Jizhou, the trial has been entrusted with the task of confidants, and the general shogunate, in military operations, often suggest the initiative to attack.

"No!"

As soon as the judge's voice fell, the person in charge stood up and said loudly: "Lord, Lu Bu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is brave and good at fighting, even if our army attacks suddenly, he may not be able to win the victory quickly. ”

"What should I do?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Hold on!"

This is the reply given by Fu Zhu, Jizhou is extremely far away from Chang'an, and Lu Bu has come from afar, which will inevitably stretch the entire front very long, so that supply will become difficult.

Therefore, as long as he waits for work and guards the cities in the state, Lu Bu, who can't afford to spend it, will definitely retire.

"Lord, time is running out, rather than passively sticking to it, it is better to fight quickly!"

"Think twice, lord, perseverance is the best policy!"

"Nonsense, you are just afraid of death, you should attack!"

"Reckless, perseverance is the truth!"

The civil and military officials, who had just been unanimous with the outside world, quarreled again.

"Big brother, or you should also go and ask to be a pioneer!" The young man with the tiger's whiskers standing on end whispered.

Liu Bei didn't look back, pretended not to hear, sat in his position and didn't say a word, like an old monk in a trance.

The third brother's thoughts, how he didn't know.

Yuan Shao was extremely troubled by the quarrel, whether it was offensive or defensive, he felt that it was feasible, but none of these strategists refused to back down, and the quarrel was unstoppable.

At this time, Yuan Shao's eyes fell on Liu Bei, who was inconspicuous in the rear, and asked: "Xuande, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yuan Shao to openly call out his name, but he reacted quickly, far beyond the reach of others, and said humbly: "Ming Gong, the negligence of talent is far less than the long-term vision of the strategists and generals. ”

He first praised everyone, and after seeing the expressions of the judges, Guo Tu and others, he continued: "But there is one point, there are doubts. ”

"What's Xuande's suspicion?" Yuan Shao asked.

Everyone in the hall also looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei didn't go around, and said slowly: "Since Lu Bu is going to come to Jizhou from Hanoi, he must pass through Liyang, Baima and other counties on the way. However, these places do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Ming Duke. So I don't know, will the county guard of Dongjun allow Lu Bu to borrow the road? ”
