Guan Yu hit a wall with his brains in Feng County, so that Guan Yu's focus had to shift, from the inside and outside to only face the battle head-on, and for Guan Yu to focus on Cao Cao, Liu Lan also paid attention to the situation in Jizhou, since Yan Liang died in battle, he strengthened the intelligence collection of Yecheng, as long as there is any abnormality,. Reading Book X at Zero

Although in Liu Lan's view, Cao Cao is his confidant, but now, Yuan Shao is obviously the biggest threat, Yuan Shao is bound to develop south after completely solving Gongsun Zhan, no one can stop him, although Liu Lan once thought that Yuan Shao's goal was only Qingzhou, after getting Qingzhou, he would make a choice between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and Yanzhou was his first choice, but Yan Liang's attack on Langya made him hesitate, Yuan Shao may want to take advantage of the battle of Xuzhou, the opportunity of their battle with Cao Cao, kill two birds with one stone, and solve him and Cao Cao together, such a possibility is not nothing, and even friends may be, and after Yuan Shao gets Qingzhou in vain, he is bound to think of solving the two major troubles of him and Cao Cao at one time.

But what made him distressed was Cao Cao, obviously he decided to attack himself first and not care about Yuan Shao, after all, he had a thicker friendship with Yuan Shao, and if he won him, he would have a glimmer of life, on the other hand, the alliance with himself was too variable, and Cao Cao didn't dare to bet, so he could only crusade against Liu Lan.

As for whether Cao Cao suspected that Yuan Shao was going to take the opportunity to take the opportunity, it was estimated that he must have considered it, but he must have a way to deal with it, otherwise he would not ignore it, after all, in the end, he would fight with himself and make a wedding dress for others.

In this case, Liu Lan has only Yuan Shao to pay attention to, Cao Cao does not have much ability to compete with himself on his own, he can only borrow Yuan Shao's momentum, it can be said that from the time he heard that he was stranded in Feng County, Liu Lan had doubts, Cao Cao did not retreat is waiting for Yuan Shao?

Although Yuan Shao has not moved yet, Liu Lan has such suspicions, and soon, news came from Jizhou, although it is impossible to determine Yuan Shao's true intentions, but this ominous premonition makes him completely convinced that Yuan Shao will not give up.

Xuzhou County Shoufu, Liu Lan lives here now, but compared to the past, this place seems empty and poor, but for Liu Lan, there is nothing, perennial march, what kind of harsh environment has not been stayed, such a link, is already very good, for the change in Jizhou, the first thing he thought of was Xu Shu, and he had to discuss it with him.

In fact, Xu Shu has also been paying attention to the situation in Jizhou, and because of Chen Guo, he temporarily took charge of the internal guard, and he was the first to know a lot of news, and just today, he also knew about Yuan Shao's appointment of Wen Chou and Gao Ran, the appointment was sudden, but it was not surprising, after all, Yan Liang was dead, and he must be elected as a replacement, but he was elected so quickly, and he went directly to the plains, which made him very anxious.

It is necessary to tell the lord as soon as possible, the two of them must have a purpose when they go to the plains, maybe they will not go south soon, but sooner or later they will also go south, and they may even take advantage of the situation to attack Xuzhou, if they do not deploy in time, then wait for Wen Chou to suddenly kill, and then transfer troops to Langya, it will be too late soon, and even in the middle of the way.

Passed the information to Liu Lan, and sure enough, Xu Shu was called to Guanhu Pavilion by him for the first time, and the two were almost the same, but there was a disagreement on whether to transfer troops to reinforce Langya, if Guan Yu was transferred at this time, then Cao Cao might be difficult to keep an eye on, and then Cao Cao would become trouble, if you don't care about Langya, then Langya is in danger at any time, and Langya is Xuzhou as soon as it is thrown forward, and then it will be under the attack of Wen Chou, and this battle will not have to be fought.

In the room, compared to the nervous Xu Shu, Liu Lan was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, whether it was to transfer Guan Yu back to Langya or not, it was difficult for him to choose. Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, all threats must be taken into account, and must not be blind, fortunately, Wen Chou has not crossed the Yellow River yet, and there is still plenty of time left for him, he can think about it carefully, but he can't delay it for too long, otherwise he will only fall into passivity.

"Lord, let's just solve Cao Cao's trouble first."

After a long time, Xu Shu finally spoke, but Liu Lan's face immediately sank, he didn't think about this idea, but if the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu was really easy to deal with, he wouldn't be so worried, it was because he knew that once he had a complete war with Cao Cao, he couldn't easily defeat him, so Liu Lan would be so anxious.

"No." This battle can't be fought, now Yuan Shao has no movement, ten ** is waiting for us to fight Cao Cao, if we rashly attack Cao Cao, then Cao Cao is frightened, he will definitely do his best to defend, once Yuan Shao goes south, then we will fall into the situation of being flanked, and if we do not move, then Cao Cao will never dare to rashly attack us, the same Yuan Shao does not dare to rashly send troops when he sees no chance. ”

"But are we going to drag it out like this?"

Liu Lan is naturally very disgusted with the battle situation that has been dragging on, and even uneasy, after all, this is too passive, but if he takes the initiative to attack, and there is no certainty of victory, he does not dare to be blind, otherwise, who doesn't want to fight quickly and solve the threat of Cao Cao, even if Yuan Shao goes south, what, just fight with him.

"This situation, first of all, we can't be anxious, if we really want to be more patient, do you say that we have more capital to consume than Cao Cao, maybe you will say that the situation in Xuzhou is not good, the grain and grass are insufficient, but don't forget that the autumn harvest is coming soon, our new grain will come soon, but what about Cao Cao and Shouchun's troops, can they stand it?

Our soldiers have to consume five taels a day, and the coalition army uses the Han army system to four taels a day, but this amount is based on our intelligence, he can still have more than 80,000 people there, and it will consume more than 20,000 catties of grain every day, obviously the coalition army cannot afford such a huge consumption, so four taels of rations a day will definitely not be possible, I estimate that the rations of the coalition soldiers are at most two taels a day, and it is very good to be able to ensure that they drink porridge at every meal, even so, 10,000 catties of food per day is also an extremely heavy burden on the coalition army.

They can't afford it, Liu Lan knows this from beginning to end, otherwise, Cao Cao wouldn't be eager to start the battle of Xuzhou, that is, he understands that this battle must be resolved quickly, but he can't be Yuan Shao's master, so he can't do it every time.

Just imagine, according to the news he obtained, if Yuan Shao could go south to Qingzhou directly according to Cao Cao after capturing Licheng, and at this time Liu Lan had just arrived in Guangling, and Guan Yu was still far away in Jiujiang, if this was the case, then there would be no suspense in the battle of Xuzhou.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao hesitated and failed to make up his mind, or he hoped that Liu Lan could consume more Yuan Shu, and then send troops at the most critical moment of Yuan Shu, but unfortunately he didn't wait for this moment, Liu Lan withdrew and came back, and when he got the information, he would regret his death.

Liu Lan was really fortunate sometimes, although he was troubled by the slow communication in this era, and many orders could not be delivered in time, but the corresponding enemy obtained the same information as him, if this happened in the later generations, then Liu Lan would not be so happy.

After all, it only took a few days for him to take a boat all the way down the river to Guangling, but how long would it take for Liu Lan to return to Jizhou with the news of Liu Lan's withdrawal from Jiujiang? When he knew the news and wanted to send troops, Guan Yu was on the way, and it was too late to send troops at this time, so he could only continue to hold his troops, but fortunately, Liu Lan took the initiative to send Qingzhou, otherwise he would really miss the great opportunity to seize Qingzhou because of hesitation.

At that time, Yuan Shao didn't listen to Cao Cao's words, so that Liu Lan escaped, and now Yuan Shao will not listen to him either, at this time and that time, Yuan Shao used to even want to occupy Jizhou and even the idea of Youqing Sanzhou would tell Cao Cao, which shows that Cao Cao is the most trustworthy confidant in his mind, but now, Yuan Shao can only mention him to him.

The friendship is not there, the relationship is cold, if it weren't for Liu Lan's relationship, I'm afraid that the two would have been unable to hide the broken relationship and started the battle of Guandu.

Of course, according to this point in history, it should be backward, after all, Yuan Shao's troops need to rest, and they have just had a big battle with Gongsun Zhan, how can they be in a hurry to deal with Cao Cao, but in a year or two, Yuan Shao will definitely go south.

But now, Liu Lan has nothing to worry about, if they are consumed, they will not be consumed, maybe Cao Cao will withdraw his troops, unless he can have other ways to get food, this is of course possible, but it is not big, after all, there are indeed few people in the world who can afford such a large amount of financial resources.

After a long time, Xu Shu finally spoke, but Liu Lan's face immediately sank, he didn't think about this idea, but if the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu was really easy to deal with, he wouldn't be so worried, it was because he knew that once he had a complete war with Cao Cao, he couldn't easily defeat him, so Liu Lan would be so anxious.
