When Cao Cao was fighting with Liu Biao for Wancheng in Nanyang, Liu Bei also issued orders in succession. First made Tai Shici lead the army to attack Taishan County, and then ordered Guan Yu to send troops from Shouchun to Peiguo, and responded to Chen Dao. Then he ordered Huang Zhong to lead the army to sneak to Jixian County and wait for orders. At the same time, a letter from Qingzhou appeared on the desk of Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou.

Liu Yu is already over the age of six. At this time when the Han family was declining and the princes had different intentions, it can be said that only he was still sticking to the duty of the minister of the Han family and had not lost the name of loyalty.

In his life, Liu Yu has been a very popular minister and has achieved the apex of a minister. When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still there, he had already paid homage to Taiwei, Youzhou Mu, and Fengrong Qiuhou. After Dong Zhuoxing was abolished, he devoted himself to the government, with Liu Yu as an important minister of the clan, known as a clear name, so he first worshiped him as the great Sima and entered the title of Marquis of Xiangben; Within a year, he worshipped Liu Yu as his master again. The position of Taifu is not permanent, and once it is set, it is above the three princes. It can be said that Liu Yu has a successful career.

After refusing Yuan Shao's wooing and vowing not to be the emperor. Liu Yu has been trembling in Youzhou, and has wholeheartedly taken care of the one-third of an acre of land in Youzhou. He didn't have the idea of passing on Youzhou to his children and grandchildren like Liu Yan, and his only son, Liu He, was also sent by him to follow and serve the Son of Heaven early on. He only thought that in this troubled world, before he died, this Youzhou was still the territory of the Great Han.

In Youzhou these years, it is indeed not easy. The Hu people and the people in the territory must be appeased, and Gongsun Du of Liaodong will cut the land and stand on his own. Gongsun Chan could have shared the burden for him, but unfortunately Gongsun Chan disagreed with him politically and kept working against him. Fortunately, Liaodong was taken back by Liu Bei, and by the way, the border troubles in Liaodong were also cleared. It didn't take long for Gongsun Chan to die again.

When Gongsun Chan was there, Liu Yu was quite resentful. As soon as Gongsun Chan died, this pressure rolled in again. When all the Hu outside the Saiwai heard that Gongsun Zan had died, they were all ready to move and wanted to enter the pass and plunder. Liu Yu has clearly felt recently that Hu Ren is no longer as obedient as before. That's not all, after the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao was eyeing the tiger and set his sights on Youzhou. Want to take advantage of it and then hurry. If it wasn't for Xuande to help me before, I'm afraid that I would have become Yuan Shao's prisoner?

The political and military affairs in the state are all on him alone, and he is already old, and he has been even less energetic recently. He thought it was time to plan for the future of Youzhou. At this moment, he received a letter from Liu Bei.

"Duke Liu, there is a big chaos today, the heroes are rising, and the princes have not respected the Son of Heaven for a long time. First there was Dong Zhuo's abolition, and then there was Yuan's false name. The princes fought against each other, and the list goes on.

Runan Yuan, Shiby Hann. However, the second son of the Yuan family, who was entrusted by the first emperor and had the great hope of the world, did not think about retribution, but acted in reverse. Yuan Shu has Yang and Yu, and he is called respectful; Yuan Shao combined with Ji and merger, and set up two emperors. I was in Qingzhou, when I heard that Yuan Shu was defeated, I had returned to the emperor to Yuan Shao, and he received it. The wolf's ambition is obvious.

Yuan Shao has Ji and He, and has not yet been satisfied, and has revisited Youzhou. Bo Jue was defeated because of it, and the people were killed and wounded because of it. If this thief is not removed, Youzhou will be restless, and the world will be uneasy. Now the south is in turmoil again, and the princes are powerless to look north. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to rejuvenate the army and destroy it.

I am willing to join hands with Liu Gong to discuss Yuan thief. If it succeeds, it will raise troops to the west and return the Son of Heaven. When the north is calm, the Han family can prosper! Please also ask Liu Gongming to think deeply, I am in Qingzhou, waiting for good news. ”

When Liu Yu read this letter, his heart fluctuated and he was inexplicably excited. Liu Bei's word by word was hitting the depths of his heart. Pacifying the world and reviving the Han dynasty is something he has never forgotten since the death of the first emperor (Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty) and the chaos in the world. It's a pity that he knows his own ability, one is that he is old and no longer in his prime. Second, they are not good at military affairs. So it's in vain to think about it. can barely maintain the chaos in Youzhou, it is already his best ability.

He was also very angry about Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's behavior, but it was useless to be angry, he could only protect himself. But now, he sees hope. Liu Bei is a dragon and phoenix among the people, and he became famous at home and abroad as a young man. After the experience of pacifying the Yellow Turbans and conquering Liangzhou, he has grown into a prince who owns Qing and Xu. When Yuan Shu became emperor, he was the first to advocate volunteers, and with his own strength, he swept away Yuan Shu and maintained the dignity of the imperial court.

Now he offered to join forces with himself and attack Yuan Shao. This is great news. According to Liu Bei's plan, if Yuan Shao is defeated, Ji and Erzhou are captured, and then Chang'an is returned. At that time, the imperial court would own the entire north except for Liangzhou. With the territory and soldiers and horses, the prestige of the imperial court and the prestige of the Son of Heaven will naturally be erected. At that time, if any of the southern princes dares to disobey, he and Liu Bei will be able to serve the Son of Heaven to win the world. Are you still afraid that the world will not be calm?

The rejuvenating of the Han family, he will be able to make contributions to the annals of history and shine for a thousand years!

Thinking of the excitement, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart, unable to control himself. So he hurriedly waved his pen and wrote a reply letter, and then called him left and right, and ordered him to send it to Qingzhou urgently. Then he summoned the ministers of the state to discuss. The ministers in the state were disturbed by Yuan Shao's plot against Youzhou, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that Liu Yu wanted to help each other with Liu Bei.

Liu Yu said again: "Xuande has been fighting for many years, and he is good at using soldiers, I want to use the troops of Youzhou to entrust him and act according to his generals' orders, what do you think?" ”

Everyone is not very good at fighting. The few generals also expressed their willingness to obey Liu Bei, an expert, otherwise it would be miserable if Liu Yu was really allowed to lead the troops. So everyone discussed it, and they just waited for Liu Bei's side to act.

Liu Bei got Liu Yu's reply and said happily: "The big thing is decided!" Then Xun Yu and others were summoned to discuss.

Yuan Shao was in Jizhou and ordered people to keep an eye on Liu Bei's every move. On this day, the detailed report came to say that Liu Bei had ordered Tai Shici to enter Mount Tai, and Yangzhou Guan Yu invaded Peinan. Yuan Shao stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "I expect Liu Bei to save Jingzhou, and that's the case." "Since Liu Bei wants to save Jingzhou, then he is welcome.

So Yuan Shao gathered troops and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fight against Youzhou again.

Xun Yu came to see Liu Bei, Liu Bei showed Liu Yu's letter, Xun Yu saw it, and he was also happy, and said: "Lord, my Qingzhou and Youzhou join forces, and Yuan Shao will be defeated." ”

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Wen Ruo, Yuan Shao heard that my troops are coming to Yanzhou, and he will come to attack Youzhou." In your opinion, where will the soldiers of our state come out? ”

Xun Yu said: "It is better to stick to the fortified city of Guangyang, and then send elite cavalry from Dai County into Yanmen, break through Gao Gan, and then go south to Taiyuan and Shangdang." In this way, Yuan Shao must return to his division to save Wei County. At that time, the lord will send the general to lead the people of the dark and green, and the tail will attack it, and Yuan Shao can break it. ”

Since Gao Gan can enter Dai County from Yanmen, he can naturally enter Yanmen from Dai County. Break through Yanmen and go south to Taiyuan, you don't need to hit the party, as long as the soldiers from Taiyuan go out of the well, Yuan Shao will be in chaos at that time, and his hometown is about to be breached, how can he still have the heart to attack Youzhou? Take advantage of the retreat of his troops, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and then Yuan Shao will have to shed his skin if he does not die.
