After Sun Ce learned that Liu Bei occupied Runan, he was really furious and said: "I have consumed a lot of money and grain, but I have never defeated Runan. But I don't want Liu Bei to be that guy, and I actually occupy this place without blood, which is really annoying to me! ”

"I will break through Runan and behead Liu Bei to vent the hatred in my heart."

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly persuaded: "That Liu Xuande is the pastor of Yuzhou, and it is justified to occupy Runan. I'm afraid that if we meet each other rashly, we will fall into the mouth. ”

Sun Ce laughed twice and said: "Zi Yixiu has to worry about this matter, although Liu Bei is the pastor of Yuzhou, Gongjin is also the Taishou of Runan who is personally sealed by the imperial court. How can we have no excuse when we send troops to seize Runan? ”

Tai Shici suddenly realized and stopped talking.

However, it was said that Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou and was overjoyed immediately after receiving Cao Cao's kindness and the news of Liu Bei and Sun Ce's war.

He said to Fu Zhu: "Gong and Guo are really clever! ”

Frustration is only humble, and it does not take credit. Guo Tu and the others were even more dissatisfied when they saw Yuan Shao being so serious and frustrated.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, after Chen Xu got the news of the Kwantung princes, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yuan Shao would have such great courage to give up most of Yuzhou.

Tian Feng also admired: "Yuan Benchu acted like this, but in an instant, he solved the dilemma of being attacked from all sides. ”

"It's just that Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande attacked Yuan Benchu in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven at the beginning, but now they are attacking each other, but what should they do?"

Cheng Yu chuckled twice and said: "That Sun Bofu has laid the foundation of Jiangdong Nuoda at the age of a weak crown, and he is not an idle person. Wouldn't it be right for him and Liu Xuande to attack each other? ”

Tian Feng said: "I'm afraid that Liu Xuande is weak and difficult to resist Sun Bofu." If Sun Bofu breaks through Runan, he will definitely drive straight into and seize the entire Yuzhou. ”

"At that time, won't his power expand again?"

Jia Xu also said: "What's so difficult about this? Liu Jingsheng and the Sun family have a feud, how can they watch Sun Bofu sit big? ”

"The lord only needs to ask the Son of Heaven for an edict, so that Liu Jingsheng can use all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and take advantage of Sun Bofu's attack on Runan, and lead a large army to raid Yangzhou."

"Liu Jingsheng and Liu Xuande joined forces, even if Sun Bofu is brave, he may not be able to win."

Chen Xu stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "This plan is wonderful! ”

took out a letter, and after a change of words, Wen Zhao continued: "The envoy led the edict of the Son of Heaven to Xuzhou to reward Cao Mengde as the pastor of Yanzhou, and asked him to send troops to attack Yanzhou. ”

But I don't want to, Cao Mengde is very cunning. He did not explicitly refuse, but asked me for 1 million stones of grain and grass on the grounds that Qingzhou and Xuzhou were short of grain. ”

Lu Bu was immediately furious and scolded: "Cao Cao's guy is so shameless, he was blown by a strong wind when a million stones of grain and grass were blown?" ”

Now that Lu Bu has made up his mind and sincerely assists his son-in-law, he naturally has to consider Chen Xu everywhere. Yes, after learning that Cao Cao's lion opened his mouth, he couldn't help but scold.

Wen Zhao smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Hugh wants to be angry about this matter, then Cao Mengde is exactly expected, I can't take out a million stones of grain and grass, so I dare to ask for a price." ”

Cao Mengde neither wanted to send troops to attack Yuan Shao, nor did he want to openly reject the edict of the Son of Heaven and fall into disgrace. That's why he acted like this, so as to make excuses for not being able to attack Yuan Shao. ”

Lu Bu suddenly realized that he immediately stopped speaking.

"Cao Mengde will not have a bad relationship with Yuan Benchu for a day, and the two of them may still be in alliance, which must be a big trouble for me. I wonder if you have a clever plan? ”

At this moment, the left and right came forward to report, saying that the envoy sent by Yuan Shao arrived in Pusaka and wanted to meet Chen Xu in person.

Wen Zhao frowned and said, "Yuan Shao would actually send an envoy at this time?" ”

But he didn't want to, but Jia Xu laughed twice and said: "The lord is still worried about the alliance of Yuan and Cao, since Yuan Shao has sent an envoy over, it will be better to separate the two." ”

Wen Zhao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Please also ask Wen He to teach me!" ”

Jia Xu said: "But so. ”

Chen Xu was overjoyed, and the rest of the people were also convinced.

Dong Zhao once again represented Yuan Shao as an envoy to Chen Xu, but this time he was a little complicated in his heart. Originally, the envoy who came to Guanzhong this time was not Dong Zhao, but he himself recommended himself, and Yuan Shao sent him over.

During this time, Dong Zhao did not have a good time under Yuan Shao.

The cause of the incident is this: Zhang Miao had a conflict with Yuan Shao since the princes began to discuss Dong. Yuan Shao has always resented Zhang Miao in his heart, and even asked Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao before, but Cao Cao refused.

After Zhang Miao was persuaded by Chen Gong to rebel against Cao Cao, he gave Yanzhou to Yuan Shu, which couldn't help but make Yuan Shao even more resentful of Zhang Miao in his heart.

Yuan Shu's army was defeated and died, Yuan Shao waved his troops south, and the rest of the counties all surrendered, only Zhang Miao resisted Yuan Shao according to Chenliu County. Although Zhang Miao was finally defeated and died, Yuan Shao was still angry in his heart.

Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong Wan served in Zhang Miaojun. After Zhang Miao's death, Dong Wan also followed the generosity to die.

A long time ago, Yuan Shao listened to slander, because Dong Wan wanted to anger Dong Zhao, but Dong Zhao kept swallowing his anger.

It was precisely because of Dong Zhao's relationship that Dong Zhao in history asked to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and took the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shao. But he didn't want to, he was left behind by Zhang Yangqiang halfway and acted as Zhang Yang's strategist.

After Zhang Yang was killed by his own generals, Dong Zhao defected to Cao Cao, serving four generations of Cao Wei monarchs, officials to Situ, and Marquis of Leping.

In this era, because Lu Bu did not defect to Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao did not take in Lu Bu, who was pursued by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was furious, and Dong Zhao stayed under Yuan Shao's account.

Until his younger brother Dong Wan generously died for Zhang Miao, Dong Zhao became more and more unable to stay in Yuan Shao's territory. Only then did he take the initiative to ask to send an envoy to Guanzhong, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Shao.

The current Dong Zhao is undoubtedly very complicated in his heart.

On the one hand, he took on the mission of the late lord Yuan Shao and came to listen to the tone; On the other hand, he has to face Chen Xu, who he is preparing to defect to.

Dong Zhao is a principled person, even if he wants to break away from Yuan Shao, he will first complete the things entrusted to him by Yuan Shao.

In this way, it is inevitable to have a-for-tat confrontation with Chen Xu. He didn't know if Chen Xu would not be able to tolerate him because of this matter.

Dong Zhaozheng was a little distracted, and suddenly heard a hearty laugh. He looked up and found that Chen Xulong walked over.

Holding Dong Zhao's arm affectionately, Chen Xu said: "I hit it off with Mr. in Jinyang that day, I admired Mr. very much, and I can't wait to listen to Mr. Chen's teachings day and night. ”

"It's really a blessing to see my husband again today. I'm not going to talk about politics for now, I'm going to have a big feast and treat my husband well. ”

Dong Zhao looked at the enthusiastic Chen Xu, and was actually a little flattered for a while.

Rao is heart was moved, he still broke free of Wen Zhao's arm, and said: "How can Zhao He De, be treated so favorably by the general?" I have come this time for official business, and after talking about official business, it is not too late to catch up with the general. ”

Dian Wei, who was standing behind Wen Zhao, immediately turned pale and shouted: "My lord warmly wants to invite, but you don't know what to do!" ”

Glancing at Dian Wei, Dong Zhao snorted coldly and didn't answer at all.

Wen Zhao hurriedly said: "It's okay to talk about business first, I don't know why Mr. came this time?" ”

Dong Zhao still looked respectful and moved, and after hearing Wen Zhao's words, his face immediately changed.

He said sharply: "The alliance between my lord and the general is an alliance, and this matter is handled by me personally. Why did the great general ignore the covenant today and raise an army to invade our lord city for no reason? ”

Wen Zhao shouted: "Could it be that the generals under my command sent troops to attack Ben Chu without authorization?" ”

Dong Zhao sneered twice and said: "Ming people don't do dark things, did the general instigate Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu to attack Yuzhou, those territories occupied by our lord?" ”

"Is it that you frequently transfer troops in Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, and Shangdang County, and have bad intentions?"

Wen Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Mr. is wrong, Xuande is the pastor of Yuzhou, and it is understandable that he wants to dominate the entire Yuzhou, what is the ****?" ”

"Sun Bofu marched into Runan, and he is also fighting for the city with Xuande, so it has nothing to do with Brother Benchu, right?"

"As for the movement of troops and horses in the state, it is because they have been stationed for too long and lack training. That's when I ordered them to move more, and they had no idea of encroaching on the city of the original brother. ”

Dong Zhao asked, "Is the general's words true?" ”

Wen Zhao replied: "No jokes! ”

Regarding Chen Xu's words, Dong Zhao naturally wouldn't believe it.

However, this time I came to inquire about Chen Xu's intentions, to know if he really wanted to fight Jizhou. As for other things, it doesn't matter.

As long as it can be determined that Chen Xu has no intention of starting a war with Yuan Shao, Dong Zhao's task will be completed.

Dong Zhao is also a very smart person, he knows that the deceit between the princes is very powerful, and Chen Xu may not be telling the truth.

Seeing Dong Zhao's hesitant expression, Wen Zhao hurriedly said: "I really didn't lie about this matter, if Mr. doesn't believe it, I can show you something and show my mind." ”

At the same time, Zhong Xuan had already rewritten a letter in Cao Cao's handwriting and tone, and dried the ink.

Jia Xu took the letter imitated by Zhong Xuan, and after reading it, he couldn't help but praise: "Yuan Chang's letter can be fake." ”

As a famous calligrapher, imitating other people's handwriting is just a piece of cake. At least Jia Xu couldn't see that it was a forged letter.

Zhong Xuan said with a wry smile: "If this matter is spread out, my reputation will definitely be ruined!" ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Even if it is known to others afterwards, the people of the world will only praise that Yuan Chang only relied on a letter to make the two princes deviate from morality." ”

Zhong Xuan still shook his head with a wry smile and stopped talking.
