Everything came a little unprepared, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu's order to change guards was conveyed, and Cao Cao came to attack, but it didn't matter, after all, Zhao Yun was not far away from Pei County, in fact, the plan was not disrupted because of this, especially when Xu Sheng came to the news of Cao Jun's attack, Liu Lan brought Zhao Yun Zhao here, originally he was going to Wu County, but now he doesn't have to, just go to Pei County.

After Zhao Yun returned to the barracks, he directly ordered the whole army, and immediately the atmosphere of the originally relaxed barracks became tense.

From hearing the military order to the departure of the whole army, everything was carried out with the most serious and fastest, Liu Lan personally came to see him off, when he arrived at the gate of the city, the forward dragoon had already set off and left, leaving only the Chinese infantry in the city, Zhao Yun looked at Liu Lan, came over quickly, and accompanied Liu Lan to see the troops quickly out of the city, especially the last baggage troops, a large number of ordnance materials are the most spectacular.

"Zilong, the safety of Pei County on this trip depends on you."

"Don't worry, the last general will definitely not let your Peixian fall into the hands of Cao Cao."

"Alright, let's go."

Zhao Yun promised, set off with Xuzhou, and went quickly to Pei County.

After Liu Lan sent Zhao Yun away, he returned to the General's Mansion, and just before arriving at the gate of the Mansion, a fast horse galloped over, turned over and dismounted in front of Liu Lan, knelt on one knee, and said: "General Qiyu, there is a document from Wang Xiuchang's history." ”

"Leave it to me." Liu Lan took the document handed over by the passer, turned around and entered the house, and after coming to the middle hall, he opened the letter, the content on it was about negotiating with Jizhou, but the guarantee given by Yuan Shao did not have any credibility, and even kept prevaricating, so you must be careful Yuan Shao.

After reading this letter, Liu Lan directly tore up the paperwork, if he was angry, it was for sure, after all, he had not gotten the most desired result after sending Qingzhou, but the ultimate goal would be achieved in the future, looking at it this way, it was not a big loss, of course, the most important point was that Xu Shu had made a deployment to guard against Yuan Shao early on, so after getting such a reply, he had nothing to worry about, after all, Guan Yu was rushing to Xuzhou.

Next, their attention will be mainly Peixian, and then Langya, just like Xu Shu said at the beginning, let Yuan Shao's abacus not work first, then there will be nothing to worry about in this battle of Peixian.

In Liu Lan's heart, Cao Cao's threat is the greatest, but Yuan Shao's military strength is the strongest, if the battle of Xuzhou makes Yuan Shao the ultimate beneficiary, then even if he and Cao Cao unite in the future, I am afraid that he will not be Yuan Shao's opponent, this Liu Lan is very clear, he found that in fact, his worries, everything is based on the understanding of history, on the contrary, Cao Cao's chances of winning in the battle of Guandu are not great, so Liu Lan expects Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao, in fact, even he does not have the grasp that history will reappear again.

And when Xu Shu put forward such a suggestion, Liu Lan was very happy to accept it, compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is the strongest enemy, if it is described, then Yuan Shao at this time is more like a strong Qin, guarding against him is the key, rather than ignoring him and blindly letting him become bigger.

As for Qingzhou, it seems to be taking the initiative to show goodwill, but in fact, it is not a helpless move, try to ask whether it is easy for the Qingzhou army to defend Qingzhou, or it is simple to defend Langya with the Xuzhou army, this is the simplest truth, and it can also lead the disaster to the east, killing multiple birds with one stone, of course, Liu Lan will make such a choice.

And Liu Lan's move, for Cao Cao, is really ruthless, it is completely a hero's posture, after all, he knows how to give up to get it, this hero Liu Lan deserves it, on the other hand, compared with Liu Lan, this temperament is far inferior to him, at least he did not casually give up the bearing of a state.

If the person who finally won the world was selected among Liu Lan and Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shaoke would lack this willingness to give. On this point, Cao Cao was not optimistic about him, and believed that the person who finally won the world would inevitably be Liu Lan.

Of course, he will not admit defeat like this, he will not give up easily, if it is possible, he naturally hopes that he can replace one of them and win the world with the other party, and look left and right, he does not have the strength of either of these two, but if he unites one of them to deal with the other, there is still a chance.

And Cao Cao's opportunity, obviously can only attack Liu Lan There is no other choice, but Liu Lan's cleverness is to use Qingzhou to express his sincerity to Yuan Shao, and his purpose is nothing more than to destroy the already fragile alliance between him and Yuan Shao, and he did a very good job, in this way, the four princes of Kwantung have become three forces, Liu Lan's terrible thing is here, he just wants to mess up the situation in Kwantung, and then he can make profits.

The Kwantung Alliance, the original North-South Alliance, then Liu Lan stood out and became the three major forces, and now the four major princes, and three of them have reached a tacit understanding of the alliance, but because of Liu Lan's efforts, their alliance was finally destroyed and became an alliance between the three major forces, he and Yuan Shu.

However, although his alliance seems to have the strength to fight against one of them, this is only a superficial display, but the alliance between him and Yuan Shu, although it is more of a coincidence reached out of interests, don't forget, this is also challenging Yuan Shao's bottom line.

Therefore, Liu Lan has successfully transferred Yuan Shao's target to Cao Cao, and from the current situation, Liu Lan's performance made him very passive, so his countermeasure can only be to pull Yuan Shao to attack Xuzhou together, this is the only opportunity, and the only way to avoid opposing Yuan Shao, in addition, there is no other possibility.

He and Yuan Shao, just like him and Liu Lan, no matter which side is at war, the other side will be the beneficiary, this Liu Lan is clear, he is also clear, he believes that Yuan Shao is also clear, but the reason why Yuan Shao is clear is that he is not like Liu Lan has a lot of retreat options, he wants to develop now, in addition to Xuzhou, only Yanzhou can choose, on the basis of the distance between Xuzhou and Jizhou, Yuan Shao's attack on Yanzhou is the best choice, which has been clearly reflected in the controversy within Jizhou in the past year.

Gongsun Chan fought Jizhou, if it wasn't for logistical reasons, then it was entirely possible to take Jizhou, but after the Longcuo Tun grain was burned, coupled with the destruction of the Youzhou grain road by them and Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan had to retreat, and just like he went to attack Xuzhou, such a long army line, in the end, there will not be too many opportunities, if the grain road is destroyed, their ending will not be much better than Gongsun Zhan.

So Yanzhou was Yuan Shao's best choice, and Liu Lan had successfully destroyed the alliance between them, but Cao Cao also had a backhand, so that the war burned to Xuzhou again, just a few days ago, Yuan Tan had promised him that he would go to Xuzhou after the capture of Donglai to assist them in attacking Liu Lan.

Moreover, inside Jizhou, there was the latest news that although Yuan Shao promised Liu Lan that he would not send troops as agreed, in fact, this was just a pretext, and then Cao Cao found out that he was deceived.

Why did he say that he was fooled, it was because Yuan Shao did not choose to send troops as soon as possible, there must be another reason for this, what is the reason is actually very simple, that is, he wants to kill two birds with one stone.

This means that no matter who wins the battle between them and Liu Lan at that time, it will be the one who Yuan Shao attacks in the end, although Yuan Shao did not say it explicitly, but Cao Cao absolutely believes that he can do such a thing, and at that time, he and Liu Lan will become the losers, and the last one in this battle will become Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao understood Liu Lan's plan and guessed Yuan Shao's thoughts, so he would naturally use the greatest interests to win over Yuan Tan and let him cooperate with them to attack Liu Lan, as for Yuan Shao's real purpose, he did not explain the account, and it became the biggest loophole, as long as Cao Cao did not leak it to Yuan Tan, then he would be the one who broke the game by himself.

And to convince Yuan Tan, it is actually difficult, but it is very simple, to put it bluntly, as long as there are enough interests, you can convince him, and what Yuan Tan hopes most now, of course Cao Cao knows, so he is using this bait to support him to become a scholar, and even do his best to do his best, for this he does not hesitate to reach an agreement with Yuan Tan to cooperate, as long as he needs it, no matter what it is, Cao Cao will do his best to help him.

Under such a temptation, Yuan Tan won't think too much at all, because this reason is more tempting than any reason, after all, for Yuan Tan, money beauties have no effect.

So at this moment, Yuan Tan couldn't wait to withdraw his troops from Donglai immediately, and for Cao Cao's support, he couldn't wait to rush to Langya immediately.

In fact, the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Yuan Tan naturally knew that the two turned against each other, and Cao Cao's support actually didn't seem to play a key role in him becoming a scholar, but in fact, firstly, the support of the Yingchuan system for him was very important, and secondly, Cao Cao had the Son of Heaven behind him, which was the key, as long as the Son of Heaven rewarded him with knighthood, and even interfered with Yuan Shao's scholar, then he was enough to squeeze out Yuan Shang.

On top of the competition for scholars, it can be said that Yuan Tan has done everything he can, and everyone is completely using each other for Cao Cao, and then it is naturally a big horse to a big horse, a small horse to a small horse, and a horse to a horse.

To tell the truth, Yuan Tan really didn't want to form an alliance with Cao Cao, but there was no other way, if he wanted to fight Cao Cao, they could only support Cao Cao and put pressure on Liu Lan, maybe because of his assertions, it would make Yuan Shao angry, but if he wanted to take the position, he had to make this decision.

Gongsun Chan fought Jizhou, if it wasn't for logistical reasons, then it was entirely possible to take Jizhou, but after the Longcuo Tun grain was burned, coupled with the destruction of the Youzhou grain road by them and Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan had to retreat, and just like he went to attack Xuzhou, such a long army line, in the end, there will not be too many opportunities, if the grain road is destroyed, their ending will not be much better than Gongsun Zhan.
