Cheng Yu strode into the hall, Xun You couldn't continue to sit, and took the initiative to stand up to greet him. （_）

Seeing this, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai also got up to greet them.

Among Wang Can's advisers, Cheng Yu is the eldest, and he is deeply valued by Wang Can, and he is highly respected. Not only that, Cheng Yu is still an elder, so Xun Yu has to get up to greet him. Cheng Yu walked in in a hurry, sat down directly, and then asked, "Gongda, what happened, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Xun You sighed, and had to say the matter again.

After Cheng Yu heard this, his face also became gloomy.

Cheng Yu's appearance is already cold, he was born with a cold face, and after his face became gloomy, it was even more terrifying.

He was silent for a moment, and said: "Fortunately, Sun Jian did not get involved, I don't know how Liu Biao will respond, if Liu Biao does not intervene, even if Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu unite, they can only attack from the north of Yizhou or the northeast of Yizhou, although the threat is great, it is not impossible to resist." ”

After a pause, Cheng Yu said: "Gongda, at present, we must determine Liu Biao's attitude, you immediately send someone to inquire about the situation in Jingzhou, and see how Liu Biao reacts?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the hall.

Xun You and Cheng Yu looked around, only to see a few people hurriedly walking into the hall

One of them is a subordinate under Cheng Yu, named Yang Hong, a distant cousin of Yang Bai, a general under Zhang Lu.

In the past, Wang Can and Zhang Lu were at war, because Yang Hong helped Wang Can take Zhang Lu, so Wang Can put Yang Hong under Cheng Yu. Yang Hong hurriedly walked in, saluted Xun You, and then bowed to Cheng Yu and said: "My lord, an envoy has come to Jingzhou, saying that he has something important to tell his lord, so he took someone directly to Lord Xun's mansion, please forgive me." ”

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, as soon as he mentioned Jingzhou, there was an envoy from Jingzhou, which was really a coincidence.

In fact, he also speculated in his heart that it might be about Cao Cao.

In terms of distance, from Jingzhou to Chengdu, the land route is closer, but the speed of the road is not as fast as the waterway. Although Jingzhou's envoys left Jingzhou first, Gan Ning was faster and arrived in Chengdu first.

Cheng Yu threw an appreciative look at Yang Hong and sent Yang Hong away with a smile.

The Jingzhou envoy was wearing an azure cotton robe, his appearance was extraordinary, he symbolically nodded to Yang Hong in thanks, and then arched his hand: "Jingzhou Yi, Yi Jibo, I have seen you." ”

Cheng Yu asked: "Uncle Ji, are there any important things that you are sending on behalf of Liu Tingshi?" ”

He looked at the Iraqi nationality expectantly, hoping that the Iraqi nationality would bring good news.

Yi said loudly: "I came to Chengdu this time, and I really have something important to tell you. Although Wang Yizhou is not in Chengdu, I hope you can pass the news to Wang Yizhou as soon as possible and ask him to decide. As he spoke, Yi Yuan beckoned, and the entourage behind him immediately stepped forward with a box and handed it to Xun You.

Xun You's face was full of doubts, and he didn't understand what Yi Yuan's intention was to present a box?

He opened the box and gasped.

Inside the box, there was a head preserved in lime.

Rao is Xun You has experienced battlefield battles, and he was also startled by the head in the box. He took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Jibo, what does this mean?" ”

Yi Yuan stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said with a smile: "The head in the box was sent by Cao Cao to Jingzhou, and Cao Cao sent someone to lobby my lord and wanted the lord to attack Yizhou." But my lord said that Cao Cao was a thief, not only poisoning the Son of Heaven, but also killing Zhongliang, so he directly killed Cao Cao's envoy, and asked me to send Cao Cao's envoy's head to show that he and Cao Cao's attitude are incompatible. ”

After hearing this, Xun You immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

When Cheng Yu heard this, the same was true.

Yi Yu saw the expressions of Xun You and Cheng Yu, and saw that the two were not nervous, but showed relaxed expressions, and he didn't understand? Could it be that they already knew about Cao Cao's attack?

Yi Ji thought about it in his heart, but heard Xun You say: "Mr. Ji Bo, we already know about Cao Cao's alliance with the princes, Liu Jingzhou can kill Cao Cao's envoys, he is really a hero, and I admire it." This matter will definitely be reported to my lord truthfully, and please rest assured that if Cao Cao leads the troops to attack Jingzhou, my lord will definitely send troops to rescue him. ”

Xun You is very experienced in officialdom.

In the past, when He Jin was in power, Xun You was an official in He Jin's General's Mansion and experienced ups and downs.

Liu Biao took the initiative to send the head of Cao Cao's envoy to express his support to Wang Can. Seeing this situation, of course Xun You will not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and if he can unite an ally, it will be of great help to Wang Can.

Therefore, Xun You also reciprocated and gave a promise.

After hearing this, Yi Ji secretly praised Xun for doing things.

On the one hand, he came to Chengdu to show Liu Biao's attitude, and on the other hand, he also wanted to get Wang Can's help. Xun You's words reassured Liu Biao, so that Liu Biao did not have to worry about Cao Cao's threat. Yi didn't stay long, and said directly: "Yizhou is in an eventful autumn, so I won't delay your time, farewell!" ”

Cheng Yu and Xun You did not keep the Iraqi nationality, and got up to send the Iraqi nationality away together.

The situation in Yizhou is critical, and there is still much to be done.

……

In the second year of Xingping, winter.

Yuan Shao raised troops from Jizhou, entered the state from Huguan, and then went south to Chang'an to kill.

When Yuan Shao left Jizhou, he also got the news that Gongsun Zan rejected Cao Cao. Gongsun Chan stayed in Youzhou, Yuan Shao must not be at ease, he left Ju Yi, the general who defeated Gongsun Chan in the past, and let Ju Yi lead the halberd soldiers to be stationed in Gaoyang, Renqiu, and Hejian to prevent Gongsun Chan from leading troops from sneak attack.

Not only that, Gongsun Chan also left the trial and frustration to stay in Jizhou to ensure the safety of Jizhou.

Yuan Shao raised troops this time, bringing the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the generals Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw, and his strength was incomparable. The strategists who followed Yuan Shao also included Tian Feng, Xu You, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu, and it was very scary to fight like this.

The army turned around from Bingzhou, and went south in a mighty way, heading straight to Chang'an.

……

On the day when Yuan Shao raised his army, Cao Cao also responded with troops.

After he led the army back to Chenliu, he rested for nearly a month.

The army regrouped and killed Wang Can again, and the army left Yanzhou, but Cao Cao still left Xun Yu in the rear, leaving Xun Yu in charge of the army's grain and grass and the situation in Yanzhou. Cao Cao went out to battle this time, bringing the most elite Qingzhou soldiers under his command, and the cavalry was also equipped with horseshoes and other objects, and his combat effectiveness increased greatly.

It's a pity that the craftsmen in Yanzhou were unable to produce Han knives in large quantities, which made Cao Cao regretful.

The army left Chenliu and rushed to Hangu Pass.

……

At the same time, Yuan Shu and Lü Bu also sent troops to leave.

The army led by Yuan Shu and Lü Bu did not advance separately, but gathered together, took advantage of Runan, and then prepared to enter Yizhou from Wancheng, attack Hanzhong, and occupy the main road south to Chengdu.

The army passed by Runan, and Liu Bei directly asked Lü Bu and Yuan Shu not to participate in the battle.

Liu Bei occupied Yuzhou, and although he included the counties around Runan, he did not take the whole of Yuzhou.

Now that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are leading troops to attack Wang Can, he can just free up his hands to consolidate his power. Although Liu Bei did not plan to attack Yuan Shu and Lü Bu's territory, Liu Bei occupied the entire Yuzhou, and his power would not be weaker than that of Yuan Shu and Lü Bu.

At this point, the four-way army attacked Wang Can from three directions.

Yuan Shao went south from Bingzhou and attacked the north of Guanzhong; Cao Cao attacked Chang'an from the east and went straight to Hangu Pass; Yuan Shu and Lü Bu attacked from the east of Yizhou, and the three-way army was not good.
