Gao Gan was ordered to go to Hanoi and steadily go to Sili. Then he sent a horse to the right to help the wind to find Li Dao, Hangu Pass to the west, large and small separatist forces are numerous, among which Li Dao has the greatest power, if you can persuade Li Dao to help, you can get Si Li, Liangzhou. Big things are still to be expected.

Gao Gan did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to suddenly make a faint move, to get over the emperor's addiction, and evil Cao Cao, which caused Cao Cao to suddenly raise troops to attack Sili.

So Cao Cao raised troops, but Gao Gan didn't react at all. By the time he dispatched his troops, Cao Cao had already led troops from Luyang, out of Yang City, bypassing Songgao Mountain, and taking Yuyuan Pass lightly.

Gao Gan didn't fight with Cao **, he retreated very wisely. Yuan Shao's boat was already leaking everywhere, and it was really impossible to row except for Liu Bei to provoke Cao Cao, a strong enemy.

Cao Cao entered Yin, Henan, and his troops were divided into two routes. All the way to the west to capture Dagu Pass, Yique Pass, the front of the army pointed directly at the Pingyin Ferry. All the way to the east to seize Yanshi, Xuanmen Pass, Xingyang, until Huchengting Ferry. Gao Gan also understood Cao Cao's intentions at this time. Since Cao Cao didn't really want to crusade against Yuan Shao, but wanted to capture Henan Yin to guard against Liu Bei. Then let him go.

Cao Cao waved his army to the south of the river and stopped. Hanoi can't go. If Hanoi is captured again, I am afraid that Xuande will not be able to sit still. So he and the two families of Gao Gan had a tacit understanding to stop the war. Cao Cao allowed the senior cadres to retreat Henan Yin's troops and supplies in an orderly manner. Even if these soldiers, horses and materials can't cause much trouble to Liu Bei, it's always Yuan Shaoding in front, isn't it. And now that he has a big family, he doesn't lack this thing.

Soon after Xiaoman, outside Qingzhou City, there were golden wheat fields everywhere. The time has come to harvest the summer grain. At this point, the whole huge institution is fully operational. Not only did the people go all out, but the army and even the officials also participated in this harvest.

It is necessary to harvest in time to avoid sudden changes in the weather, and if it rains a few times, it will be miserable. The rain will cause the ears of wheat to lie low, and then soak in the rain and spoil them.

The centralization of monarchy naturally has its advantages, Liu Bei gave an order, from the frontier to Xuzhou, countless human resources were mobilized. As soon as the summer grain was harvested, the people and officials were smiling. The warehouse is full, and there is no shortage of food and clothing at home. In this world, the peaceful atmosphere has faintly reappeared.

As soon as the summer grain was put into storage, Liu Bei immediately convened a meeting of people to prepare for the use of troops.

This time, the primary goal of using troops was to overthrow the puppet Chen regime and pacify Jizhou and the eastern part of Sili. The secondary goal was to attack Guanzhong, oppress Liangzhou to the west, and peek south into Hanzhong.

Cao Cao's purpose has been revealed, if he gains Yizhou and Hanzhong, the world does not know how long it will be divided.

Years of experience have completely honed Xun Yu. The monarch and ministers have been in phase for many years, which has made his position in the Qingzhou group very stable. Liu Bei proposed at the meeting to attack Yuan Shao and enter the pass. While Xun Yu agreed, he also faintly raised his own concerns: "My lord, in the past, our army was only in Qingzhou, and it was not obvious that it was a trouble. Today, from Liaodong to Bingzhou, the border stretches for thousands of miles, and the Hu species such as Xianbei, Qiang, and Wuhuan have to be guarded against. ”

Xun Yu is right. At that time, Liu Bei only had one place in Qingzhou, and the Saiwaihu people only fought to the death with Gongsun Zan and others. Now it is secluded and all belong to Liu Bei. Although the territory is invisibly much larger, the pressure of these thousands of miles of defense line has also been transferred to Liu Bei. Only those who have been thieves for a thousand days have no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. If the border guards are too large, Liu Bei's group can't afford it. But if the strength of the defense line is too weak, I am afraid that it will not be able to prevent the Hu people from invading south.

The Xianbei people not only think about unifying the prairie all the time, but also dream of enjoying happiness in the invasion all the time. And this dream, more than 100 years after history, really made Xianbei people successful. Zhuyan, Western Qin, Nanliang, Daiguo, etc., are all regimes established by the Xianbei people. Moreover, this scourge has plagued the Central Plains for more than 200 years. In any case, Liu Bei also had to block the Xianbei people outside the plug, and he couldn't let them take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Now that Bingzhou has Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, who has been obedient, Liu Bei is no longer too worried. There is Yan Rou in Liaodong in Youzhou, and Tian Chou in Daijun, well, these two people are capable, but the defense line in Youzhou is too long, and it needs to be strengthened. The territory guarded by Liaodong is too big. Since the trick has been lowered, it is better to put it in Youzhou.

So Liu Bei said: "What Wen Ruo said is very true, you can make the right Beiping Taishou, and garrison Lu Longsai to prevent Xianbei." "In this way, there is Yan Rou in the east, there is a lead in the middle, and there is Tian Chou in the west, and the three of them echo each other, and once something happens in Youzhou, it should be able to deal with it.

After the matter of preparing Hu was finished, it was Yuan Shao's turn. Liu Bei said: "Yuan Shao acted perversely in Yecheng, and people and gods were angry. This time, I will sweep away Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and relieve the people from fire and water! ”

Then he ordered Zhang Fei and Tai Shici to follow the previous march route and enter Wei County, and then Zhao Yun led his troops to Zhao State, entered the annexed state, and attacked Hanoi and Hedong together with Tian Yu.

He also made Huang Zhong and Yan Yan soldiers enter Mount Tai; Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiubing entered Dongjun. All of a sudden, the trumpets and drums were contending, and the north was full of smoke.

Liu Bei didn't want to start a war on two fronts for the time being, and sent troops to Taishan and Dongjun, but just wanted to remind Cao Cao that if he got Nanyang and Nanjun, he would accept it when he saw it. Still thinking about Henan Yin, that's not good. Now that you occupy Henan Yin, will you save Yanzhou?

War is indeed a continuation of politics. Liu Bei's troops were not launched at the border of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao had already felt great pressure. Yanzhou is the place where he made his fortune, his feelings are deep, and Yanzhou is rich. It's just that Cao Cao is now bent on plotting for the treasure land of Yizhou, and Yanzhou is inevitably a little chicken. And it is a chicken rib surrounded by Liu Bei's forces.

But it was impossible for Cao Cao not to react to this. After all, Yizhou hasn't arrived yet. Moreover, giving up Yanzhou without saying a word is also a serious damage to the morale of the people of his group.

So Cao Cao raised a large army and went straight to Yanzhou, posing as if he wanted to fight hard with Liu Bei. The horizontal ones are afraid of the flute, and the flute ones are afraid of not dying. Cao Cao thought to himself, Xuande now has a big family, and he really wants to fight with him, and it is estimated that he is not willing. Then it's up to who gives in first.

Liu Bei was also thinking about what Meng De wanted, the confrontation between the two armies was obviously not done by a wise man. Could it be that he really wants to have a big fight with himself, and then lose both sides and cheapen Sun Wentai?

When it comes to vision and pattern, Liu Bei may outperform Cao Cao for special reasons. But when it comes to calculating people's hearts and being ruthless, Liu Bei is far inferior to Cao Cao.

If Liu Bei is really ready to fight Cao Cao, Cao Cao is also ruthless, even if Yanzhou is broken, he will have to fight Liu Bei.

Now that the two families have enough military food, no one is willing to take a step back first, Liu Bei thought that it would be better to drag Cao's army here, lest he attack Yizhou regardless of it. When he settled Yuan Shao and Si Li, he couldn't figure out that Cao Cao had already entered Yizhou.
