At this time, in Pingyuan County, I wanted to rest but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, I just felt that I was impetuous and heavy, I put on a thin shirt and got off, pacing back and forth in the middle hall, although he sent Wen Chou to Qingzhou, but who would have thought that Wen Chou had gone less than three days, and Qingzhou came with the news of the rebellion in various counties and counties, and it was this news that made him upset all day today.

Overnight, robbers and bandits appeared in more than 20 counties in three counties at the same time, especially Donglai County, seven or eight counties that had just been in office for a long time The county commanders were killed, and the current situation is that they have completely lost contact with Donglai County, to be honest, the rebellion of Qianshou is not unusual, starting from the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Guanghe and seven years, it is not surprising that Yuan Shao has rebelled in recent years, but a situation like Qingzhou has only happened when your Yellow Turban Rebellion first started, and the organization is so tight, you can rebel at the same time on the same day, which shows that all this is premeditated, Otherwise, it would never have been such a coincidence, plus Qingzhou was controlled by Liu Lan before, and so many rebellious forces suddenly emerged, and they only killed the county order and did not disturb the people, can this matter not let him think about Liu Lan?

This matter gave Yuan Shao a little headache, after all, everything came too suddenly, and it was during the time period when Wen Chou went south, I don't know if he arrived in Qingzhou, he had no chance to send troops to Xuzhou, but was deeply trapped in the quagmire of Qingzhou, if such a situation really appeared, then everything they designed for this battle would almost be completely lost.

This situation really gave him a headache, after all, he didn't think of all this before the war, and he didn't think about such a problem at all, but now that he thinks about it, it can't be regarded as negligence, after all, when Yan Liang went south, everything in Qingzhou looked safe and sound, and there were no variables at all, but this doesn't mean that Qingzhou must be safe, after all, it was Liu Lan who gave it away, and naturally he also had the strength to make Qingzhou mess up, this was his negligence, and he must admit it.

Then the next situation may become extremely troublesome, it is very likely that Wen Chou will go south and then want to attack Xuzhou, don't count on it, the trouble in Qingzhou will continue to develop like this, Yuan Shao believes that Liu Lan has this ability, as long as he is willing, after all, he has controlled Qingzhou for so many years.

But Yuan Shao is indeed a little pessimistic, after all, Wen Chou has more than 100,000 people going south, so many troops, it is a problem that the rebel forces in Qingzhou can withstand such a big test, so in fact, there is no need to worry too much, but the key to Yuan Shao's worry now is actually because once Wen Chou is dragged down, then the attack on Qingzhou will have to be delayed, if it is ten days and a half months, it will not matter much, but if the form of this rebellion is staged in Qingzhou like a spark, it will indeed be enough for him to have a headache.

And he didn't know if this was Liu Lan's only backhand, what if Liu Lan had other back-ups, the 100,000-strong army would deal with the bandits in Qingzhou, thinking of this, his resentment couldn't help but fill his heart.

At this moment, a personal soldier reported outside the house, saying: "General Qiyu, I am frustrated and ask to see you, saying that there is something urgent!" ”

"Let him in." Yuan Shao is a bit of a broken jar now, what other urgent matter can be more urgent than the situation in Qingzhou? So he doesn't think about it so much, it's better to come all when it should come, it's better to come at one time than to be disgusting and strong every three or five times, anyway, it's the current situation, the plan is frustrated, Xuzhou is unlikely to send troops in a short time, it's a big deal to solve the trouble in Qingzhou and withdraw directly, although he missed the God-given opportunity, there is no way, he can only wait for the next opportunity to appear, but this time since Qingzhou has such a serious banditry, then what to say is to completely solve the matter in Qingzhou through this opportunity.

Wait for the next time there is an opportunity in Xuzhou, there is no need to be distracted by the affairs of Qingzhou, when Yuan Shao was so calculating in his heart, he stepped into the house in frustration, but Yuan Shao was so worried that his mind was not in the house at all, he just kept standing at the foot of the steps, although he was anxious, he didn't dare to disturb him.

After a long time, Yuan Shao's mind was collected from Qingzhou, only to find that Fu Zhu had already arrived, and pointed to the seat next and said, "Sit down." “

"The lord is still worried about the bandits in Qingzhou......"

Halfway through his words, Yuan Shao directly interrupted him and said: "You are my confidant, I know what you want to say, and naturally I know what I'm worried about, the current situation is that we are too optimistic, and it is too easy for our opponent, but I think this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for us, but I think that the sooner trouble appears, the better it will be for us, what do you say?" “

He thought that Yuan Shao would be furious at this time, but he never thought that he would say this, and sighed: "Lord Yingming, any reaction made by Liu Lan now seems to be unfavorable to our army, but in the same way, his hole cards will disappear, and after we solve these troubles, Liu Lan will have no way to restrict us, and then we will have no obstacles to attack Xuzhou." “

If this matter is investigated, he will bear the brunt of the frustration, because he estimated the situation too optimistically, and only thought of Liu Lan and Cao Cao confronting each other in Pei County, but he didn't expect that the biggest variable was Qingzhou, but now it seems that Qingzhou's troubles are constant, but this is entirely because Qingzhou is Liu Lan's lair, he has enough influence, but after this incident, Liu Lan's power in Qingzhou is bound to be hit like never before, so what else can they worry about in the future?

And just like the general said, the sooner this kind of thing appears, the better, just imagine if these troubles happened after they sent troops to Xuzhou, under the rampant banditry, the transportation of grain became the top problem, once the grain and grass were robbed, resulting in the cut off of grain and grass, then the war on the front line would be lost.

Now, take advantage of the opportunity to suppress bandits, and completely control Qingzhou, which is not attached to the people, although it seems that the battle of Xuzhou missed the opportunity, but in exchange for a stable Qingzhou, how can it not be a beautiful thing?

At this moment, Yuan Shao and Fu Zhu can only use this to comfort themselves, whether they want to or not, this is the most difficult problem in front of them.

"By the way, what are you here to see me for?" Yuan Shao asked.

"The Donglai County guard fled back, and the eldest prince escorted him to the plains."

"Does he still have the face to run back?" Originally, Yuan Shao's anger was now straightened out a little, and he was instantly angry: "What's the use of keeping such waste, just execute it!" ”

"General, don't you want to ask about the situation in Qingzhou?" Fu Zhu hurriedly said, although the loss of Donglai has a lot to do with the escape of this county guard, but don't forget, the three counties of Qingzhou have the largest rebel force in Donglai, isn't this matter worthy of their serious consideration?

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhidao.

"General, the situation in other counties is different from Donglai, although the other counties are also under Liu Lan's control, but after all, they have always been managed by Zang Ba, but Donglai County is different, it is Yan Rou, a henchman appointed by Liu Lan himself, this person is Liu Lan's veteran minister, and it is precisely because of his existence that the hearts of the people of Donglai County are more towards Liu Lan, and now the biggest rebel force is also this Donglai, so the reason why the Donglai County guard fled was actually a last resort."

"And this kind of thing?" Yuan Shao then remembered that Liu Lan ceded Qingzhou back then, but only Donglai County refused to cede it anyway, at that time he only thought that it was to facilitate the connection with Liaodong by sea, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

This Yan Rou, although not as famous as Xu Shu Zhang Zhao and others, but for Yuan Shao, who knew something about Liu Lan in the early years, he was no stranger at all, whether Liu Lan was in Youbeiping or Liaodong, the reason why he was able to go out with confidence and boldness was precisely because of this capable deployment to raise grain and grass for him, it can be said that he has been existing as Liu Lan's big butler all these years, but suddenly heard that this person actually left Liaodong to serve as the county guard in Donglai, this matter is extraordinary.

Yuan Shao, who had been standing, knelt down and stared at the tea in the tea cup on the low table, the light in his eyes flashing with the water waves under the light.

"You mean, Liu Lan has been making a big deal in Donglai?"

"I don't know, but there is one thing that the lord must have thought of, Liu Lan's attention to Donglai exceeds that of all the counties in Qingzhou, which shows that Donglai means something extraordinary to him, and being able to send Yan Rou to Donglai as a county guard shows that Donglai is even more important than Liaodong in Liu Lan's eyes."

Yan Rou before crossing the sea to Donglai, but the number two person in Liaodong, or he is the one who really speaks in Liaodong, don't look at him and Xu Huang, one is in charge of the county and the other is in charge of the military, but what Yan Rou said, it is the same, both Tian Chou and Xu Huang have to obey unconditionally, especially Yan Rou is extremely domineering, as long as it is what he believes it must be implemented, even if it fails, he will resist, if the two continue to oppose, he will not compromise, of course, after the stalemate, he will directly pass the book to Liu Lan, Let him make the final decision.

The relationship between Yan Rou and these two people was extremely harmonious at first, after all, they have been old friends for so many years, but some people, that's it, being friends will definitely be brothers in life and death, but once they work together, it's over, and within three days, they will definitely turn against each other.

In fact, Tian Chou has long known Yan Rou's character, and he has been by his side since he came out, he is considered half an apprentice, and he will obey his words most of the time, but Xu Huang can't bear this breath, fortunately, the two are in charge of civil and military affairs, and there is no big difference in many things, so that they can always maintain peace and quietness, at least on the surface.

"General, don't you want to ask about the situation in Qingzhou?" Fu Zhu hurriedly said, although the loss of Donglai has a lot to do with the escape of this county guard, but don't forget, the three counties of Qingzhou have the largest rebel force in Donglai, isn't this matter worthy of their serious consideration?
