Chapter 956: The Fall of Youzhou

In Dongyang City, knowing that Ma Teng turned the spearhead to Guanzhong, the new emperor Liu Wei wearing a reckless dragon robe was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, especially happy: "Lu Bu's backyard is on fire, God really help me!" ”

Although I don't know who is secretly making a move, being able to summon Ma Teng, the northwest wolf, is enough to give Lu Bu a headache for a while.

When Liu Bei and others learned of this, they were also overjoyed.

In addition to being happy, Liu Wei did not forget to order people to spread this matter, and it was best to make it known to the world. Many of the soldiers under Lu Bu's command were brought out from Guanzhong and Xiliang, and now there is chaos over there, and rumors will inevitably lead to instability in the army's morale.

This is their best chance!

"Your Majesty, the Xianbei and Huns are holding back Lu Bu in the north, Ma Teng also has the intention of plotting in Guanzhong, coupled with the pressure of Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou in the south, now is the time when Lu Bu's forces are the weakest, and after such a long confrontation, we should give him some color!"

Sure enough, among the hundreds of officials standing in the hall, some people came out to play a decisive battle with Lu Bu.

This is also where Liu Bian's mind lies.

Before, the two sides had been facing each other on the Yanzhou border for so long, with heavy thunder and small rain, countless scolding battles, and only a handful of real confrontations. And at this time, due to the containment of all parties, Lu Bu could hardly mobilize troops and horses from other regions, which was indeed the best opportunity for the imperial court in Kwantung.

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Ma Teng can enter the main Guanzhong, or the Xiongnu and Xianbei people can break through and merge the state, if they don't succeed, wait for Lu Bu to slow down for a while, and then mobilize troops from other regions to go to Yanzhou, then it will be troublesome!

"Cao Qingjia, what do you think?"

Liu Wei asked lightly, and did not directly pick out that he wanted to start a war with Lu Bu, but set his eyes on the man who was not very tall below.

In the palace of the court meeting, the hundred officials seem to be fully equipped, but as the Son of Heaven, Liu Wei knows in his heart that many of them are mediocre talents who eat white rice, and there are actually only a few who really have the right to speak.

But even so, Liu Wei couldn't abolish them and depose them, after all, he was still counting on the families behind them to contribute money and efforts.

Without the support of these big families, Liu Wei would not be able to support so many troops.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the time should be done to clear the puppet emperor Yuan Shu first, and then Tulu Bu."

Cao Cao knew Liu Wei's thoughts, but he didn't follow his words, although Cao Cao's mentality has changed over the years, he has always put himself in the position of Hanchen.

Whether it is Liu Xie in Guanzhong or Liu Wei in Kanto, no matter who is the emperor, it is always the blood of the royal family, and Yuan Shu is just an outsider, just relying on a baseless nonsense, how can he convince the people of the world?

"Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree with General Cao's opinion." Liu Bei, who was named Situ because of his work in supporting the dragon, took two steps forward and lightly pressed the wat board in his hand, expressing his dissent.

"Oh? Uncle Huang has any opinion, although he said it. Liu Wei, who was sitting on the throne, was particularly generous.

Liu Bei straightened his body slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Although the puppet emperor Yuan Shu is hateful, but a few months ago, Lu Bu had already sent troops to attack Huainan. If we send someone to go again at this time, in case we bump into Lu Jun, won't we have to fight again? At that time, the three forces will be in chaos, and it will only be the people in Huainan who will suffer. Therefore, the minister did not approve of sending troops to Huainan. ”

Liu Bei said it reasonably, and his words showed that he cared about the people and thought about the people.

Liu Wei nodded slightly, and couldn't help but approving: "Uncle Huang's heart is for Li Min, which is really a blessing for the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Your Majesty praises falsely, today, only Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch."

The two blew each other in waves.

At this time, a new urgent news came from the north.

The Bingzhou army led by Liu Yu smuggled into the northern part of Montenegro, attacked the Dai County that bordered the Bingzhou to the west of Youzhou, and then crossed the Black Mountain and easily captured Shanggu.

After stepping into Youzhou, Liu Yu sang all the way, almost effortlessly, attacking the city and pulling out the village, plus Liu Yu had accumulated a lot of popularity in Youzhou before, the people of Youzhou responded one after another, and the guards from all over the country were looking forward to the wind.

In just over a month, most of the counties in Youzhou fell into the hands of Liu Yu.

On the contrary, Gongsun Zhan, who likes to flatter on weekdays, Changshi Guan Jing, constantly mobilized troops and horses to actively resist Liu Yu's invasion.

However, in recent years, Gongsun Zhan has been forcibly conscripted and warlike, which has made the people in Youzhou unhappy and complaining, and he has long lost the support of the people, so even if Guan Jing has the heart to fight, he can't stop the defeats and defeats, and even almost became a prisoner several times.

But even so, Guan Jing did not surrender to Liu Yu, and held on to one city after another, looking forward to his lord leading the army to return to Youzhou as soon as possible.

"This hateful old thief actually took advantage of my outing to attack Youzhou!"

Hearing the news, Gongsun Chan couldn't bear it, and scolded on the spot, his face full of anger.

Then, he hugged Liu Wei and said a little hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Youzhou is in trouble, and the minister will leave!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, he turned around and walked outside the hall without authorization.

This behavior can be described as extremely rude, and he didn't take Liu Wei as a genius in his eyes at all.

In fact, Gongsun Zhan did not regard Liu Wei as the Son of Heaven in his heart, he was also a famous figure in Liaodong, how could he be called three or four by a child.

Calling him 'Your Majesty' is enough to save face.

The hundred officials in the palace turned a blind eye to this, and some time ago, there was a councillor who angrily accused Gongsun Chan of being disrespectful, but after going down to the court, he was directly beheaded by Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and the crime was secretly colluding with Lu Bu.

After the Son of Heaven learned about it, he only reprimanded a few words a little, and then there was no follow-up.

After all, Gongsun Chan had 50,000 male soldiers in his hands, and if Liu Fan wanted to move him, he had to weigh it in advance.

"General Gongsun, stay here!"

Although he was very angry in his heart, Liu Bian couldn't tear his face with Gongsun Zhan during this period, and now it has not reached the point where the birds are hiding their bows. He controlled his emotions and said with a smile: "I have already received a recital from General Yuan Shao early this morning, saying that I have sent General Wen Chou to lead an army of 70,000 and rush to Youzhou for reinforcements. ”

Yuan Benchu?

Gongsun Chan frowned, the two were rivals at the beginning, would he have such a good heart?

"General Gongsun doesn't have to mind, now that all the ministers are working for the imperial court, when the general expells Liu Yu, he will definitely return Youzhou, and I can guarantee with you."

Liu Bian's words are firm, as for whether Yuan Shao can be allowed to withdraw from Youzhou in the future, he doesn't care.

At present, if you want to start a war with Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry is indispensable.

"Since Your Majesty said so, the minister will give you this face."

Gongsun Zhan agreed, he had worked under Liu Yu, and knew that Liu Yu was not good at leading troops to fight, and with Wen Chou leading the troops, Liu Yu must not be an opponent.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan really agreed, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart. I don't know whether to say that he is brave or strategic, or whether to say that he thinks things without going through his brain.

How could Yuan Shao be so kind?

This move is clearly intended to be an opportunity to annex Youzhou on the grounds of sending troops.
