If one person rejoices, another will be angry.

Cao Cao was angry and raised troops to attack Xuzhou, Tao Qian's heart felt uncomfortable, Cao Mengde was not a bystander, even Yuan Shu was slapped to Jiujiang, not to mention that he had not fought with Cao Cao, Xuzhou alone can block it? Even with Liu Bei, he commanded the soldiers and horses with a mortal heart and set foot on the road to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei saved Xuzhou, but he didn't save himself. With the defeat and death of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, the balance in the north was broken, and the Qingxu Erzhou, which was in the same qi, could not resist the offensive of Bohai and Yanzhou at all, and could only huddle together for warmth.

Farther north, in Bohai County, Jizhou, a fast horse galloped through the bustling streets of Nanpicheng with a letter in his hand, shouting 'Military Emergency' all the way until the horse's hooves stepped on the steps of the official residence before he rolled his saddle and fell off his horse, and crashed into the mansion before his footsteps stopped.

In Nanpi City, the most prosperous city in Bohai County on the coast of the East China Sea, there is such a chariot general's mansion.

"General Che Cavalry, Qingzhou eyeliner is urgent, Liu Bei raised troops to help Tao Qian go!"

The secret report did not reach Yuan Shao's hands directly, but was obtained by Xu You, the chief strategist under Yuan Shao's command, and hurriedly ran out of the palace all the way to the school field outside the city - the messenger sent by Yanbei pierced the self-esteem of the general like a knife, and it was even more painful than being defeated by Gongsun Zan several times.

Although Yuan Shao smiled and personally talked and laughed three days after the banquet for the Yanbei envoys, he sent them all the way out of Bohai County, but after that, everyone could see that Yuan Shao always stayed in the school grounds, and practiced his halberd warriors who blocked Gongsun Zhan's attack in the north of Nanpi City.

The lord is still like this, and the entire Bohai County has made great progress, and the so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death! Because they were not strong enough, Yuan Shao bowed to the horse bandit in the north, and this kind of thing was more like a shame in their hearts.

As the old saying goes, shame, courage.

"Liu Bei is out of Qingzhou, huh...... It's smart people. Yuan Shao slowly took off the jade-inlaid gilt pocket, did not wipe the sweat beads on his face, but took two sips of the water bladder handed by the attendant, and then turned to Xu You and said, "Where are the people in Qingzhou who are too guarded?" ”

Fame and popularity, many times, are powerful weapons, even better than 100,000 soldiers. It is difficult for these princes who went from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the countryside not to believe in the soldiers who surrendered without a fight, and even in Yuan Shao's opinion, there was no need to crusade against the Taishou in various places, because those people always had to look for backers, and his Bohai Sea was the biggest backer for these scholars!

"Except for the Beihai Prime Minister Kong Wenju, all of them are devoted to Yuan Gong!" Xu You raised a proud look on his face, although they were all in the corner of the Bohai Sea, but the reputation of the fourth and third dukes was not empty talk, such as Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan and other enemies, why did they never dare to send troops to attack, but they had to leave more than half of their subordinates to guard the place, because as long as they transferred the troops, in the blink of an eye, those counties would vote for the Yuan clan!

However, there are exceptions.

"Yuan Gong, Qingzhou can change flags in a moment, but Donglai County is the most important thing." Xu You's words carried the chief strategist's consistent confidence and determination, "Donglai is close to the sea, as early as when Yan Zhongqing ran Liaodong, he relied on overseas islands to operate for many years, and its fleet has been from the earliest Wenxian County in Liaodong, and then it has been flooded, and now there are Lelang Hun Mi and Zhan Cicada four water villages, and the overseas islands are stationed and replenished everywhere, if the sea fortress is solid...... If Yuan Gong wants to get Qingzhou, he must first block Donglai, the news can't get out, and it will be winter after March and May, and Yan Zhongqing will reflect it next year, the matter of Qingzhou has been decided, and the wood has been completed, so he can't help it! ”

"What does Ziyuan mean, not only to send a group of soldiers and horses to Qingzhou by land, but also to send a fleet to blockade Donglai from the sea, and even, to repel the Yan Clan's naval army?"

"Not repulsed, General Chevalier." Xu You shook his head lightly, his expression was fierce, and he said slowly: "It is to sink, sink the fleet of the Yan clan in Donglai, in the north and south Changshan Island, and in the various water villages of Dahei Island, without leaking the news, and at the same time attack and sink at the same time, cutting off its connection with Donglai County; Sending ships under the banner of the Yan clan to send a message to Weiqi and Wenxian counties, the water and fire are ruthless, general, and it is not unexpected that there will be a sudden strong wind and waves on the heavy ocean and destroy dozens of warships, right? ”

"Ziyuan, this is a dangerous military move."

Yuan Shao has nearly 100 ships in the Bohai Sea, which is true; It is not difficult to sink the dozens of ships and more than 1,000 soldiers left by the Yan clan in Donglai and the three overseas islands;

But the question is, what does it mean if the news leaks out? In the past year, the Yan clan had more than 200 boats in the Wenxian County Water Village alone, including more than 100 warships, not to mention all the warships and sailors after the integration of several water villages in Luqi and Lelang...... It can be directly followed from the sea to the belly of the Bohai Sea, once the news is leaked, the salt ponds and iron prisons on the coast of will be swept by the Liaodong naval army unscrupulously.

Yuan Shao was indeed afraid of Yanbei, but what he was afraid of was not the vast land of more than 1,000 miles on the land and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, no matter how powerful the sergeant wanted to break through the cities, it was not something that could be done overnight. Yuan's worries, worried about the warship riding the wind and waves in the heavy fog of the sea!

Feeling Yuan Shao's doubts, Xu You was not sure that the so-called strategists most of the time only discussed ideas to solve problems, and did not take responsibility. Once the lord does not want to take on this responsibility, there is nothing he can do. He said, "Go down and discuss a feasible plan with the shogunate?" ”

"No more talking!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, buckled his luxurious pocket and walked back to the school field, strode out of the near zhang, turned his head and looked back and said: "Send troops, order Chun Yu Zhongjian to lead Yan Liangwen Chou to deploy heavy defenses in the area of Hejian Guoxin Capital to prevent the leakage of news Yan's counterattack, and transfer the water army to raid Donglai and sweep away the Yan's water village on the islands, as for Qingzhou, I will go in person!" ”

Yuan Shao's body was regressing, but the words he said were loud, and he said with a firmness that he had never felt before: "Despite the danger, it is worth capturing Qingzhou!" The Yan clan dared to attack my Nanpi, and Yuan sent a general to cross the sea to demolish Wen County to attack Liaodong, capture his family and break its foundation! Moved to Qingzhou and started over! ”

"Even if there is a matchless power scheme, it is difficult to defeat the two-handed sword soldiers. Ziyuan, I've been thinking, that Sun Zong is just a native of the remote land of Liaodong, and Yanbei is just a rebel general from Manu, why is he unscrupulous in the shogunate of the general Che Cavalry; Meng De is no more than my brother, how dare I say that the state pastor has repeatedly refused my orders...... Yuan figured it out, because their soldiers and horses were strong, what was the use of the fourth and third dukes? Instead, it became Kong Wenju said that the highway and the dry bones in the mound, that is to scold me that the Yuan family is a person with low ambitions! ”

"Wake up, wake up! That Yan's lobbyist, Sun Zong, woke up Yuan's arrogance. However, our generation should not be presumptuous, and only when we know ourselves can we know each other! Yuan Shao finally turned around, "The Yan clan's truce is not because they don't want to fight, if they don't fight this year and next year, they will always have to fight." Since there will be a battle sooner or later, why wait for him to recover, Donglai County, I Yuan Benchu took it! ”1.
