The situation in Liangzhou and Hanzhong has basically stabilized, and even if the Qiang people establish a state, they will not be able to affect the counties in the east of Liangzhou for the time being. All they need to do is to make their new country better.

500,000 recruits entered Tuntian, Liangzhou, and the relocation of the families of the Tuntian soldiers was also put on the agenda. In addition, Chen Jing selected more than 40,000 people from them, preparing to train them to become a real elite division.

Therefore, now all the civil and military eyes in Guanzhong can't help but focus on Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's battle.

Hanzhong, Nanzheng.

Jia Xu said to Wen Zhao: "The autumn harvest is approaching, and I hope that the lord will make a plan for Yuan Shao as soon as possible." ”

Wen Zhao immediately nodded and said, "Now that Hanzhong has been decided, and the autumn harvest is approaching, it's time to return to Pusaka and discuss the crusade against Yuan Shao." ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "This attack on Jizhou can only be taken by surprise in order to win." Fighting with the prepared Yuan Benchu in Jizhou was definitely not the best policy. ”

Wen Zhao pondered for a while, and then asked, "In this case, what is Wen He's plan for sending troops to Jizhou?" ”

Jia Xu was about to answer, when suddenly a report came from left and right: "Chen Liu was besieged by Yuan Shao's army, and the attack was nearly a month, Chen Liu was already in danger, and Sima Zhongda sent someone to ask when the lord would send troops to Jizhou." ”

Wen Zhao and the others were shocked when they heard this, and even Sima Yi took the initiative to send a letter asking for help, which can be seen how critical the situation in Chen Liu is now.

Wen Zhao asked left and right to retreat, and then asked Jia Xu: "Wen He, can you send troops at this time?" ”

Jia Xu frowned and thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "The lord attacked Yuan Benchu at this time, but he was unknown. In addition, it will take some time for the grain to mature, so the matter of sending troops to Jizhou should be delayed for a while. ”

Then, he came to Wen Zhao's side and said softly: "The lord can be like this, such as!" ”

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately acted according to the plan. He then wrote a letter to Cheng Yu of Pusaka, and then toured Hanzhong every day, but had no intention of returning to Guanzhong.

……

Yanzhou, Chen Liu.

The overwhelming Yuan army was repelled by Liu Jun again, Yuan Shao looked at the sky, and only then did he be a little unwilling to let people blow the horn of Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

With the sound of the horn of 'woo', Yuan Jun retreated like a tide.

At this time, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said with some annoyance: "I never thought that Chen Liu would be so difficult to overcome, then Liu Bei is also a person, even if there are not many troops in the city, but he will not retreat." ”

The frustrated professor said with some worry: "The soldiers have been fighting for half a year, and they are already exhausted. Now that the grain and grass in Jizhou are about to be exhausted, if they can't conquer Chenliu again, I'm afraid it will be a big deal. ”

Yuan Shao said indifferently: "The autumn harvest is coming, as long as Jizhou harvests grain and grass, why worry about logistical pressure?" Since Da Er'er refuses to surrender, I will let him die in Chenliu! ”

In the process of attacking Chenliu, Yuan's army was repeatedly repulsed by Liu's army, and there was no way to attack the city. Yuan Shao also followed the advice of his advisers and sent people into the city to persuade Liu Bei to surrender.

But he didn't want to, those messengers who entered the city were stripped naked by Zhang Fei, cut off their ears and drove out.

These envoys represent Yuan Shao, and now that the envoys' ears have been cut off and their clothes have been stripped off, Yuan Shao naturally feels that his face is dull, and he is furious, vowing to break through the city and kill Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

It's just that after attacking Chenliu for a month, although the defenders in the city are getting fewer and fewer, Yuan's army still has no way to attack the city. This couldn't help but make the proud Yuan Shao feel a little annoyed and angry.

Therefore, Yuan Shao secretly made up his mind that if he couldn't conquer Chen Liu, he would never give up.

When he heard Yuan Shao's words, he also felt very reasonable, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He said again: "That Liu Xuande is Chen Wenzhao's minion, in the past, Chen Wenzhao was afraid of the strength of our army and did not dare to use swords. If Chen Wenzhao saw that we couldn't even attack Chen Liu, I am afraid that he would have other thoughts. ”

"If the soldiers of Guanzhong take Jizhou directly from Bingzhou, what should they do?"

Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and said with some uncertainty: "Then Chen Wenzhao really dares to do this?" ”

Before he could speak, Feng Ji laughed twice and said, "Chen Wenzhao is now conquering Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, how can he have the strength to invade Jizhou?" Is this a matter of concern? ”

Guo Tu and others also said yes.

Frustrated and wanted to refute, but he didn't just start with anything, he was just silent at the moment.

Yuan Shao heard Feng Ji and Guo Tu's words, and his heart settled down a little. But for the sake of peace of mind, he still asked Xu You: "What does Ziyuan think about this matter?" ”

Xu You thought for a while, and then he spoke: "Zhang Lu is the king, and Chen Wenzhao is the son of heaven to ask for his ministers, and he requisitioned 600,000 troops to attack Hanzhong. ”

"It seems that Zhao Zilong, Zhang Wenyuan, Lu Fengxian, Xu Gongming and other Guanzhong generals all went out with the army at this time, and even Chen Wenzhao himself was not in the imperial capital."

"From this point of view, Chen Wenzhao is likely to win Longwangshu this time, and wants to take the opportunity to conquer the entire Yizhou."

Yuan Shao's heart sank, and he thought to himself: "Chen Wenzhao's strength is already very strong now, if he takes advantage of the country of abundance, I am afraid that he will be my great enemy in the future." ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's desire to exterminate Liu Bei and seize the entire Yuzhou became even stronger.

"Since Chen Wenzhao has the intention of capturing Yizhou, we should capture the entire Yuzhou as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, an inexplicable light flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he secretly thought in his heart: "The land of Yizhou is precipitous, and it is not easy to seize it. ”

"If after I capture Yuzhou, Chen Wenzhao still fails to lead the troops back, I just take advantage of the situation to enter the pass and snatch the Son of Heaven."

Yuan Shao led his subordinates to the camp on the one hand, and secretly planned in his heart to deal with Chen Xu in the future.

As soon as he led the army back to the camp, there were reports from left and right: "Lord, the angel sent a messenger to mediate the contradiction between the lord and Liu Xuande." ”

Guo Tu said: "This must be because Liu Bei saw that Chen Liu's stay was difficult to hold, so he asked Chen Wenzhao for help." Chen Wenzhao had no time to look east, so he tried to persuade the lord to stop the army in the name of the Son of Heaven. ”

Yuan Shao was immediately furious and scolded: "Da Er'er raised troops to invade my city for no reason, and killed my nephew and general, how can such a big feud be exposed because of Chen Wenzhao's words?" ”

"Let's just say that I'm sick and can't meet the angel, let him go back."

Fu Zhu hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done, the angel is the symbol of the court, and the lord must meet him no matter what." ”

Xu You also persuaded: "Yes, even if the lord is unwilling to accept mediation, he must entertain the angels well, and don't leave a handle for others." ”

Yuan Shao was angry for a while, sorted out his emotions, and was about to go to meet the angel.
