Chapter 664: Yuan Shao's Decision

Youzhou, Fanyang. ()

Cao Cao sent envoys to meet Gongsun Zhan, wanting Gongsun Zhan to send troops to attack Wang Can.

Gongsun Zan listened to the envoy's words, and did not agree, but refused, because Youzhou is in the cold land of the north, and if you want to go south, you must bypass Bingzhou or Jizhou, which is Yuan Shao's territory.

The contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao was very acute, and it was impossible for Yuan Shao to let Gongsun Chan lead his troops south. There is another reason why Gongsun Chan did not send troops, because Gongsun Zhan's territory is in Youzhou, and Wang Can's territory is in Yizhou, and the two sides are separated by a Yuan Shao, so it is impossible for Gongsun Chan to send troops, and directly rejected the request of Cao Cao's envoys.

Moreover, Gongsun Zhan's situation is not good now, and the river is already declining.

In the face of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan could not withstand Yuan Shao's offensive, he was already quite difficult to protect himself, how could he still have the strength to attack Wang Can, so he could only retreat in Youzhou.

Cao Cao's envoy was disappointed and returned directly to Yanzhou.

Gongsun Zhan's subordinates asked if they would tell Wang Can about it, but Gongsun Chan refused. Because between Cao Cao and Wang Can, it is impossible to predict who will win and who will lose, and if Wang Can wins, it will not be bad. If Cao Cao wins, Gongsun Chan will offend Cao Cao, so Gongsun Chan simply does not interfere and watches from the wall.

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

The envoy sent by Cao Cao to meet Gongsun Zan is not well known, but the person who can be sent to meet Yuan Shao is an important strategist under his command, Mao Jue, who can advise Cao Cao to serve the Son of Heaven as an order, and his ability can be imagined.

Governor's House, in the hall.

Mao Jue was wearing a black robe and a scarf, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant. Although Mao Jue's appearance is not as outstanding as Xun Yu and Xun You, he is also quite heroic and extraordinary, and his demeanor reveals an extraordinary bearing. After Mao Jue entered the hall, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt good.

Mao Jue flicked his sleeves and bowed his hand: "Yanzhou envoy Mao Jue, meet Yuan Gong!" ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Look at the seats!" ”

Mao Jue thanked: "Thank you Yuan Gong!" After speaking, Mao Jue sat down on the left side of the hall.

With a faint smile on his face, Yuan Shao asked, "Mao Jue, Meng De asked you to come, what's the matter?" ”

Mao Jue arched his hand and said: "Back to Yuan Gong, today the son has passed away, the dragons have no owner, and the situation in the world has developed to the present, which is already like the Warring States, a world of great disputes, and a time of great chaos, but also a time when the heroes rise together." My lord sent Jue to meet Duke Yuan in order to temporarily ally with Duke Yuan, attack Wang Can, and get rid of this tumor. ”

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "Gu Gang received an edict from the imperial court, asking Gu to crusade against Meng De, this is very difficult." ”

Yuan Shao was embarrassed, and there was an embarrassed expression on his face.

Below, Guo Tu, Judge, Xu You and others were smiling, with a playful look on their faces. This kind of thing is really interesting, see how Mao Jue responds?

Mao Jue smiled and said, "Dare to ask Duke Yuan, are you sure to defeat my lord in one fell swoop?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's brows furrowed slightly.

Cao Cao's ability, Yuan Shao is aware, although he has countless armor soldiers, countless grain and grass, and is sure to defeat Cao Cao, but if he wants to defeat Cao Cao in a short time, it is unlikely. After all, Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, repaired internal affairs, trained elite soldiers, and was already a prince, and he also incorporated elite Qingzhou soldiers, which was difficult to defeat in a short time.

However, Yuan Shao was not suitable to answer.

Guo Tu stood up and said: "Mao Jue, my lord has Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, and the land of Youzhou, with the power of the four states, can't he defeat Cao Cao." Although Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou and Qingzhou, there are a wide range of elite generals in my family, including generals like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw, as well as Tian Feng, Xu You and other advisers. ”

"Hahaha......"

Mao Jue laughed and said: "What a big breath, if that's the case, please ask Yuan Gong to send troops to attack Yanzhou." ”

In a word, the atmosphere became awkward.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao glared at Guo Tu.

He didn't take the lead in speaking, so that the people below could beat Mao Jue's sharp energy. But Guo Tu's words simply provoked a fight between the two sides.

Mao Jue is also a thief elf, so he immediately took a step back, took the initiative to give Yuan Shao the steps, and said: "Yuan Gong, my lord is recuperating, and he has countless elite soldiers under his command, and he is not afraid of the princes of the world. ”

After a pause, Mao Jue said again: "Duke Yuan and my lord are fighting, even if Duke Yuan can win, it will be a tragic victory, and in the end, it can only let the fisherman benefit, and let Wang Can easily occupy it." Therefore, we must first destroy Wang Can, get rid of this biggest hidden danger, and then fight for the world. Without Wang Can's intervention, whoever dies will die, each by his own means, if Yuan Gong can defeat my lord, my lord will also admit it, but who wins and who loses, I don't know until the end! ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Okay, what a Cao Mengde, he has such ambitions!" ”

He waved his hand and said: "The princes of the world, there are not many people who can enter my eyes, Wang Weixian is one, Cao Mengde is one, and Sun Jian is also one, but it is a pity that it is difficult to achieve great things in a corner of peace." I will join forces with Meng De to defeat Wang Can and then fight for the world. ”

At this time, Yuan Shao also extinguished the idea of becoming emperor.

Get rid of the scourge of Wang Can first, and then fight for the right to belong to the world.

Mao Jue agreed with a smile and discussed with Yuan Shao the specific route of the troops, as well as the time of the troops, which had already been set when Mao Jue was on the mission.

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

Because Wang Can killed the six generals under Lu Bu and abducted the general Gao Shun, only Zhang Liao was available under Lu Bu, and the strategist was only Chen Gong.

However, Chen Deng, an official in Pengcheng, was also taken in by Lu Bu for his own use.

Now, the land of Xuzhou is in the hands of Lu Bu.

After Cao Cao sent an envoy, he arrived in Pengcheng to meet LΓΌ Bu directly.

Although Cao Cao and LΓΌ Bu had hatred, LΓΌ Bu hated Wang Can more than Wang Can, because Wang Can killed six of his generals, including his relatives. Such hatred made Lu Bu want to defeat Wang Can and take revenge all the time. Although Lu Bu also received an edict from the imperial court envoys, he directly threw it aside and didn't even look at it.

When Cao Cao's envoy arrived in Pengcheng, he explained his intention, and Lu Bu directly agreed.

The addition of Lu Bu made the team attacking Wang Can even stronger.

……

Before Cao Cao sent envoys to Xuzhou, Liu Bei left Xiaopei with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Sun Gan, and set up troops to run to Runan. Although Liu Bei did not obtain the title of imperial uncle as in history, he said that he was a member of the Han clan when he met people, at least he also hung the name of a royal clan, and his reputation was not weak.

Liu Bei led his troops to Runan, besieged but did not attack, and did not attack directly.

At the beginning, the Xiliang Army also sent generals and Liu Bei to challenge, but Guan Yu killed the generals of the Xiliang Army with one sword, which frightened the Xiliang Army in the city and did not dare to fight.

At this time, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to persuade him to surrender.

After the deaths of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, the Xiliang army in the city was in a laissez-faire situation and was not supervised. When Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to persuade him to surrender, the Xiliang army directly opened the city gate and welcomed Liu Bei into the city. In this way, Liu Beibing took Runan bloodlessly, occupied Yuzhou, and once again had a place to stay.

Although Liu Bei's luck is not good, his ability is undoubtedly outstanding, otherwise Cao Cao would not have said that the world's heroes are the only kings and Cao's ears in history. After he occupied Runan, he quickly captured the surrounding counties based on Runan.

In a short period of time, Liu Bei gained a firm foothold in Runan.

At this turbulent time, Liu Beiyu jumped into the dragon gate and occupied Yuzhou to become a major prince.
