Chapter 326 Five States Alliance

Recently, Liu Bei has been called a spring breeze, and the Chen family and the Mi family, the two major families in Xuzhou, have taken refuge one after another, so that he has completely gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Although the official document appointing him as the pastor of Xuzhou has not yet been promulgated by the imperial court, Liu Bei at this time has already regarded himself as a pastor of Xuzhou.

He began to carry out a series of drastic transformations in Xuzhou, Liu Bei still has the real ability, and under his transformation, Xuzhou presents a thriving scene.

At this time, Liu Bei received a secret letter sent to him by Lu Bu, which said that Liu Bei wanted to attack Jizhou with him, and strive to get rid of Jizhou Mu Liu Yuan in a battle.

As early as a few months ago, when the princes of the Four Roads besieged Liu Yuan, Liu Bei had been secretly making preparations, and for Liu Yuan, he had long wanted to kill him!

It's just that he hasn't had this opportunity, and when the princes of the Four Roads and Liu Yuan were fighting to the death, he was starting to occupy Xuzhou, and he really couldn't spare his hands.

Now that he is in his own hands, Xuzhou is firmly in his hands.

At this time, there was Lu Bu's invitation again, and Lu Bu said in the letter that as long as he sent troops to attack Jizhou with Lu Bu, then he, the Xuzhou herd, would be nine out of ten!

Even if there was no such thing, Liu Bei would not let go of such a good opportunity, after receiving Lu Bu's secret letter, Liu Bei immediately ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to start mobilizing troops and horses.

As long as Si Li's Lu Bu and Liu Yuan fought, he would immediately send troops to Jizhou from the other direction, and all this was originally going according to their expectations.

But when they just started to act, news came from Jizhou that the combined forces of Qingzhou Mu Cao Cao and Yangzhou Mu Yuan Shu were defeated by Liu Yuan!

Cao Cao's generals Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Xu Chu were seriously injured, and Yuan Shu's generals Qiao Rui and Chen Lan died under Puyang City.

Now the combined forces of the two of them have been broken up by Liu Yuan, Yuan Shu's men and horses ran back to Yangzhou without looking back, and Cao Cao took people back to Qingzhou.

For a time, the southeast of Jizhou became extremely stable, which cast a thick shadow on Liu Bei's plan to attack Liu Yuan.

Just before this shadow has passed, the bad news comes again!

Lu Bu was seriously injured by Han Sui's plot, and the news that the five generals under his command were killed and seriously injured reached Liu Bei's ears.

At that time, Liu Bei knew that their plan might be stillborn this time.

Sure enough, only three days passed, and Liu Bei received the exact news.

Lu Bu was indeed very miserable by Han Sui's plot, not only was he seriously injured, but two of his generals were killed, and even most of the soldiers under his command were killed and injured!

The current Lu Bu was unable to attack Liu Yuan at all, and Liu Bei immediately decided to temporarily suspend all troop dispatches.

He wants to continue to observe and see if there is any hope for attacking Jizhou.

Soon Liu Bei made a decision, he would not participate in the attack on Liu Yuan's team this time.

At this time, in addition to Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and Gongsun Zan who were struggling to support, the remaining princes of the three roads had already died down.

If he still squeezes into it like this, then he is definitely stupid with hysteria, and the current situation is already obvious, and the remaining three-way princes are not Liu Yuan's opponents at all.

It is already very rare for them to be able to keep their existing territory this time, and it is almost impossible to make them turn over.

If he gets into it again at this time, in case Liu Yuan directly targets him, then Xuzhou, which he just worked so hard to get, will probably fall into Liu Yuan's hands.

Liu Bei knew that once Liu Yuan discovered his traces, he would definitely immediately send someone to suppress him.

Although he didn't know the specific reason why Liu Yuan did this, Liu Yuan had always done it!

This time, he also took a big risk, so he chose to occupy Xuzhou as his foothold, he didn't want to summon Liu Yuan's evil god over if he had nothing to do!

But Liu Bei didn't want to watch it, Liu Yuan was so strong.

If Liu Yuan really annexed the territory of the three princes of Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and Gongsun Zan in a war, then there will be absolutely no one who can compete with him in the future.

At that time, no matter how well they manage their territory now, they still have to make wedding clothes for Liu Yuan, and if they don't get it right, they will end up with a dead and annihilated clan!

Liu Bei had already thought about this kind of thing countless times, and now since he couldn't use force to stop Liu Yuan from growing, he could only use his last resort.

Soon Liu Bei, in the name of Xuzhou Mu, sent a letter to several nearby princes, in which he elaborated on Liu Yuan's threat to them.

Liu Bei hoped that these princes bordering each other could unite, and once Liu Yuan launched an attack on any of them, the rest of them would do their best to aid the attacked princes.

Liu Bei's opinion was quickly adopted by those princes, and now anyone who is not blind can see that Liu Yuan is the strongest prince in the land of the Han Dynasty.

If they are not united, then in the end they can only be cleaned up one by one, and none of them who can become a prince of one side are fools.

They had long wanted to unite against Liu Yuan, and now Liu Bei's letter had become the trigger for them to unite.

For a time, Qing, Xu, Chong, Jing, Yang, and the five major state pastors formed a community of interests.

Cao Cao of Qingzhou served as the deputy leader of the alliance for a period of time when the princes were discussing Dong before, and his talents and people are also well understood.

So they discussed and let Cao Cao of Qingzhou preside over their community of interests, of course, Cao Cao was not qualified to dictate the affairs of these princes' own states.

However, once Liu Yuan's men and horses entered any of the five states, Cao Cao immediately had to take on the heavy responsibility and organize the men and horses of the five states to fight against Liu Yuan.

Now Cao Cao has a task as soon as he takes office, and Liu Yuan's Dian Wei and Zhao Leke are still in Chongzhou, and since they have become an alliance, Cao Cao can't ignore this matter.

With the issuance of letters one after another, all the people and horses in the five states began to move, and nearly 400,000 people gathered towards Qingzhou for a time.

As long as these horses are all in place, Cao Cao will lead them to kill Chongzhou and drive Liu Yuan's Dian Wei and Zhao Le out of Chongzhou.

But just when their men and horses were not halfway assembled, Dian Wei and Zhao Le had already stopped attacking.

It seems that they are ready to digest all the territory they occupied before making plans!

Originally, Cao Cao didn't want to have any more conflicts with Liu Yuan in the near future.

Now that Liu Yuan's generals have stopped attacking, he wanted to let all the assembled men and horses return to their respective states and counties.

But he didn't expect that he had just said this proposal, and he was opposed by Liu Dai.

Liu Dai told Cao Cao with red eyes at that time that he must take people to take back all the things he lost!
