Hebei is very tolerant of rebellion that is sincere and obedient. For example www.biquge.info Han Sui, who is now the right general and pastor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Yang, who is now the Taishou of Yanmen.

Liu Bei was originally from Youzhou and had a deep relationship with Li Yi. As long as Liu Bei is obedient, it will definitely not be a problem to increase the rank of official and knight.

Although Cao Cao once slaughtered the city in Xuzhou and dug embankments in the Yellow River, Yuan Shao knew that Li Yi and Cao Cao had a very good relationship during their time in Luoyang. If Cao Cao really wants to return to Hebei, with his grandfather and father's deep connections in the court, he will have no problem saving his life and being a rich and noble marquis.

Once Cao Cao and Liu Bei returned to Hebei, with their current strength, they would not be able to stop Li Yi at all, but because of this possibility, they did not dare to encircle and annihilate the Northern Xinjiang Army with all their might, and they would fall into a place of no return.

Yuan Shao will never let go. Do you want to encircle and annihilate Zhang Fei at any cost?

"Lord, when will you attack Ao Cang?" Feng Ji stood beside Yuan Shao and asked uneasily.

"Order Yan Liang to immediately lead the army to reinforce Hanoi." Yuan Shao decided to wait and see how the situation developed, "Let Gao Rou and Zhang Nan take Pinggao and Huaicheng first, and surround the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Xingyang area." ”

"Good plan." Feng Ji immediately understood Yuan Shao's thoughts, and said with a smile, "The Northern Xinjiang Army in Hanoi is only 10,000 people, and after the lord surrounds Zhang Fei at the minimum cost, he can attack and retreat, and completely control the initiative on the battlefield. What a plan. ”

Yuan Shao frowned, sighed softly, and said, "Order Runan Xu Xuan and let him personally rush to Xiangyang to ask Liu Biao for help." If Liu Biao doesn't come this time, we want to defeat Li Yi and regain the Central Plains, it's difficult......"

………………

Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, on the banks of the Huaishui River.

Liu Bei was in the dust, and rushed into the camp of Cao Cao's army.

After Cao Cao welcomed Liu Bei into the big tent, he didn't say anything, and first handed Xiahou Yuan's urgent report to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei read it, he was shocked and sat on the seat for a long time.

"Brother Xuande, what is your countermeasure?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly and asked, "This tiger is too cunning, we can't escape it." ”

Cao Cao looked at the blue sky outside the tent and sighed sadly: "For the sake of the Han Dynasty, we have fought bloodily for ten years, but after all, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and the day of the overthrow of Sheji is still inevitable." ”

Liu Bei felt a pain in his heart and hung his head silently.

"I think that back then, Li Yi sat in the northern Xinjiang, crisscrossing the desert, and his feats were brilliant, and the court was full of exclamations, saying that he would cause chaos in the society, but the result was unbelievable that it was not Li Yi who caused the trouble, but Dong Zhuo. The warriors of Western Xinjiang have caused chaos in Sheji, and today it is the turn of the warriors of Northern Xinjiang to overthrow Sheji. Cao Cao suddenly burst into tears, choked up and said, "The four-hundred-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty is buried in the hands of our incompetent juniors today, which is a great shame." In the future, when we come to the Nine Springs, what faces will we have to meet our ancestors and ancestors? What face do you have to meet Gaozu and Shizu? ”

Liu Bei's eyes were red, and tears fell quietly.

"I've decided, I'll withdraw today." Cao Cao wiped away his tears, picked up the war knife on the desk and stood up, "I want to fight Li Yi to the death until I die." In this way, when I see the ancestors and ancestors, the ancestors and the ancestors, I have a clear conscience. ”

"I was born for the Great Han, and I died for the Great Han."

Cao Cao put on his battle helmet and strode out.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums was earth-shattering, and it went straight to the sky.

………………

Jicheng, the Son of Heaven spread the world, crusaded against rebellion, and stabilized the community.

The imperial court then turned into a state of war. Hundreds of ministers and officials worked day and night, and everything was based on the Central Plains War.

The eldest princess Liu Jing convened the meeting of the ministers on the Phoenix Terrace.

Shi Xunyu, the head of the general's mansion, played the latest battle situation on each battlefield first.

Zhennan General Chang Yuchun is now presiding over Handan's expedition, commanding the five battlefields of the Central Plains, Henan, Hanoi, Jibei, and Xuzhou.

The three-way army in the Central Plains battlefield advanced smoothly. The army on the left, under the personal command of the general, had entered the territory of Dongping Kingdom and surrounded the county of Yewuyan in Dongping Kingdom. The army on the right, under the command of General Guan Yu, was attacking Fan Cheng. On the Jibei battlefield, Wei Yan and Guan Hai have already rendezvous, and they are currently besieging Zhilu City, Jibei County.

On the battlefield of Xuzhou, the armies of Gao Shun and Zang Ba had advanced to Jucheng and engaged the Xuzhou rebels.

On the battlefield in Henan, General Zhang Fei commanded the army, relying on the three tall and strong cities of Aocang, Chenggao, and Xingyang to form a cone-shaped defensive formation, and dragged Yuan Shao's three-way rescue army on the front line of Xingyang.

On the battlefield of Hanoi, Tai Shi Ci's army was engaged with the rebels of Yuan Shao's general Zhang Nan, who for several days had not been able to advance further. Chang Yuchun said that the current war situation in Hanoi is very dangerous, and he asked the imperial court to immediately increase troops on the Guanxi battlefield to contain the troops in the direction of Luoyang, help Tai Shici hold Pinggao, and ensure that Zhang Fei can hold out for a longer time on the Henan battlefield.

"On the battlefield of Kansai, General Yue Fei commanded a large army to attack Shaanxi City continuously." Xun Yu stood in front of the map and pointed to Shaancheng on the south bank of the Yellow River, "This is the focus of the army's attack." According to General Yue Fei's report, after Yang Feng and Han Xian captured Maojindu, they commanded the army to enter the northern gate of Shaanxi City three times, but they were soon killed by the rebellious Chun Yuqiong and Zhang Ji. The battle was fierce. ”

"The offensive in Kansai must be sharp, and the threat to Luoyang must be maintained continuously, and the size of this threat will directly affect the conduct of the Central Plains War." Xun Yu said, "There are about 50,000 rebels in Luoyang, and in addition to the need to defend Luoyang, 20,000 to 30,000 troops can also be transferred." If these rebels support the Hanoi battlefield, Tai Shi Ci will be in a very difficult situation. Once Pinggao City was lost, the army on the battlefield in Henan was surrounded, so ......"

Xun Yu's hand pointed to Dingtao and Changyi on the map, and said loudly: "In the case that the main army has not taken Dingtao and Changyi, and it is not yet possible to ensure the foothold of the army in the Central Plains, the battle on the battlefield in Guanxi will be more fierce, and we must find ways to conquer Shaanxi, make Luoyang feel a huge threat, and force Yuan Shao to be unable to reinforce the Hanoi battlefield, so as to let Zhang Fei's army hold out in Henan for a longer time under the premise of ensuring the safety of Pinggao City." As long as we keep Yuan Shao's main army firmly in the Henan battlefield and make it impossible for him to reinforce the Central Plains battlefield, we will have more time and opportunity to capture Dingtao and Changyi. ”

"For this reason, the minister decided to increase the number of troops to attack Kansai head-on." Xun Yu said, "At present, there are only 24,000 troops attacking Kansai head-on. The 16,000-strong army of Yang Feng and Han Xian was attacking Shaancheng, and Huang Zhong's 8,000-strong army pinned down the rebels in the direction of Taolin Fortress and Hongnong City, respectively. The minister planned to urgently requisition Li Le's 8,000-strong army from the direction of Pubanjin to Shaancheng to participate in the attack on Shaancheng. Hu Cai's 8,000-strong army stationed in Linfen was urgently requisitioned to Pubanjin to contain the rebel forces in the direction of Guanzhong. ”

Xun Yu bowed and said: "The minister believes that in order to prevent the Luoyang rebels from supporting the Hanoi battlefield, the army must conquer Shaanxi City in the near future, and the forward will directly aim at Mianchi and threaten Hangu Pass. ”

The eldest princess frowned slightly, and her gaze swept over the faces of Taifu Yong, Imperial Doctor Liu Yu, Shangshu Ling Chen Qun, and Zhongshu Supervisor Ling Zhuge Jin one by one.

The four of them bowed slightly, expressing their support for Xun Yu's recital.

"Let the middle secretary immediately follow the intention of Mr. Wen Ruo's recital." The eldest princess looked at Zhuge Jin and said in a coquettish voice.

Xun Yu stood in front of the map of Western Xinjiang.

General You, Liangzhou Mu Han, then wrote that the situation in Western Xinjiang this year has become very complicated and difficult because of Ma Chao's rise in Longxi, and he hopes to get our help.

After the end of the Central Plains War, our next target was Guanzhong, so the stability of Western Xinjiang was very important to us. Judging from the current situation in western Xinjiang, the key points are two points: one is to quell Ma Chao's rebellion, and the other is to block the Xianbei people in the area of Hexi from burning Dangqiang and Youge in the west of Wuwei County, so as to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cross the Yellow River south and attack the hinterland of western Xinjiang.

"For this reason, the minister intends to let Zhang Liao send troops to cross the river from the north of Anding County into Wuwei County to help Mr. Wenyue repel the invasion of the Hu people and ensure the safety of the hinterland of Western Xinjiang."

Xun Yu frowned, looked at Longxi County on the map, and continued: "The difficult thing is, how to solve Ma Chao's matter? Do you want Mr. Wenyo to fight him again? ”

"Ma Chao's enemy is Yuan Shao, it is Cao Cao, and he and Han Sui have no deep hatred." The eldest princess thought for a moment and said, "Why can't you send someone to appease you?" If he wants to take revenge, the imperial court can let him go to the battlefield in the Central Plains, and he can let him command a battalion of iron cavalry, isn't this condition generous enough? ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "The minister thinks that General Zhang Liao is the most suitable person to go to Longxi to appease. ”

The eldest princess nodded and said, "I decreed that General Zhang Liao should immediately lead the army to Wuwei, and then go to Longxi to appease Ma Chao." ”

………………

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Jingzhou civil and military officials gathered together.

Liu Biao looked at the letter on the desk, and sighed gloomily: "I have decided, I will lead the army north to the Central Plains tomorrow." ”

"Don't ......," Cai Mao blurted out, "Lord, Liu Zhang, who is now in the west of the state, has Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in the east coveting Jiangxia, once the lord goes north to the Central Plains, Jingzhou is in danger." ”

Cai Mao briefly analyzed the situation in Jingzhou and advised Liu Biao not to rush north for the time being.

Liu Biao looked up to the sky and sighed: "If I don't rush to the Central Plains, Jingzhou will be in danger." In the near future, I am afraid that the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty will become the bag of others. Under the nest, will there be no eggs? ”

"My lord, if Jingzhou is lost, not only will there be no chance of winning the Central Plains War, but the last hope of Zhongxing Sheji will also be shattered." Cai Mao persuaded bitterly, "Lord, please think twice......"

Liu Biao shook his hand again and again and said, "Compared with the Han Sheji, what are the seven counties of Jingzhou?" I have made up my mind, don't persuade anymore. ”

"The lord is worried about the safety of the community, and he hates to step into the Central Plains to face Li Yi, this mood is understandable, but he can't lose Jingzhou because of this." Kuai Liang stood up, bowed down and said, "Although the top priority now is to go north to the Central Plains, before we go north to the Central Plains, we must think of a foolproof plan to ensure the safety of Jingzhou."
