"Cao Jun first broke the combined forces of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and then the troops arrived in Liyang, thinking that Yuan Shang was worried that once the city of Liyang was broken, the Cao army would drive straight into Yecheng and ask His Highness for help!" Xu Shu almost didn't think about it, so he hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "This is the time when His Highness seized Hebei!" ”

"The Yuan clan is not exhausted, how can Hebei seize it?" His brows frowned slightly, and Liu Wei asked Xu Shu: "Yuan Shang asked people to come to ask for help, if this king does not send troops, it is unreasonable, if he sends troops, once Hebei is stable, it will be even more difficult to recover it in the future......"

"Yuan Xi is still in Youzhou!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Xu Shu said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness only needs to admit that Yuan Xi inherited Yuan Shao's position, then Yuan Shangshan will not dare to respond when he is exhausted." In the future, if Yuan Shang secretly makes a move, he will be killed! ”

Staring at Xu Shu, a smile tugged at the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, nodded and said nothing.

There was already a consideration in his heart, Liu Wei didn't wait for a long time, a guard stood in the front hall, hugged his fists and said to the hall: "Your Highness, Yuan Shang's envoy has already arrived!" ”

"Pass in!" Knowing that Yuan Shang's envoy had arrived, Liu Wei raised his hand outside the hall.

The guard answered, stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation to a scribe-like figure standing outside the hall, and said, "Sir, Your Highness is invited!" ”

The scribe, who had followed the guards to the door of the antechamber, was about fifty years old, and he first arched his fists at the guards before striding into the hall.

Entering the front hall, the scribe clenched his fists and bowed, bowed to Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty Chen Lin, knock to see His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

Yuan Shao's subordinates are full of talents, although this Chen Lin is old, he is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and Liu Wei has also heard of his talent in the past.

Seeing that the messenger sent by Yuan Shang was Chen Lin, Liu Wei was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "This king never thought that Yuan Shang could make Chen Gong come to Luoyang in person, and this king did not welcome him from afar, which is really insulting." Chen Gong, please sit wide! ”

Clenched his fists and bowed, and thanked Liu again, and Chen Lin sat down on the side.

"Yuan Shang ordered Chen Gong to come, what happened?" As soon as Chen Lin sat down, Liu Wei asked him.

Hearing Liu Wei's question, he hurriedly responded: "Back to His Royal Highness, Commander Cao drove straight into Hebei. A few days ago, the two sons of Xiansi and Xianfu joined forces, but they were defeated by Cao's army. Cao Cao led the army to besiege Liyang, and Xian Si Gongzi defended the city, but Cao's army was powerful after all, and it didn't take long for Liyang to be in danger! ”

"Sir was sent by Xianfu, why did he speak for Xiansi?" Knowing that Chen Lin was deliberately talking in circles, the corners of Liu Bian's mouth pulled up a smile and asked him.

Asked by Liu Wei, Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the prince of Xianfu sent his subordinates to ask His Highness for help!" ”

"It's just that Liyang is besieged, and the number of Cao's army is not very large, Xianfu only needs to send troops and horses to attack from behind, and Cao Cao will be broken!" Chen Lin was going around in circles, and Liu Wei was also pretending to be confused, never saying that he would send troops to help.

Knowing that if he didn't get the topic on the right track, Liu Wei would definitely not follow his wishes, Chen Lin had no choice but to say: "Once the city of Liyang is broken, the Cao army will occupy a small half of Hebei, and Yecheng will also be under his troops!" The person who is worried about the prince of Xianfu is that once Cao Cao gets Liyang, Yecheng will not be guaranteed......"

"Xiansi and Xianfu have actually reached such a situation!" His brows furrowed slightly, and Liu Wei said with an entangled face: "If this is the case, even if the Qin army enters Hebei and defeats Cao Cao, how can this king rest assured that Hebei will be handed over to the two of them?" ”

Before leaving for Luoyang, Yuan Shang had already told Chen Lin his bottom line.

As long as Liu Wei does not deprive him of his official title, as for Hebei, the whole can be dedicated to Daqin.

But in Liu Wei's words, it was faintly revealed that if Hebei was in the hands of either Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, he would not send troops to help.

Staring at Liu Wei, Chen Lin clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, Hebei has been repeatedly attacked and harassed by the Cao army, although the Yuan army has resisted, it has been defeated repeatedly, and what Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang can do is limited. If His Royal Highness does not take Hebei, he will definitely become an obstacle to the unification of the Han Dynasty in the future! ”

Liu Wei and Xu Shu didn't expect Chen Lin to say such a thing, and the two of them glanced at each other, and their faces showed a touch of doubt.

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the two, Chen Lin hugged his fists again and said: "His Royal Highness took the princess to leave Luoyang back then, and there was not a single soldier under his command. Hebei has a large population, a vast land and abundant grain, and His Royal Highness can achieve great things by taking it. Now that Yuan Shangshan is exhausted, he came to ask His Highness for help, why didn't His Highness take advantage of the situation? ”

"How?" After all, Chen Lin was a messenger sent by Yuan Shang, and he offered to ask Liu Wei to take advantage of the situation to seize Hebei, which made Liu Wei a little suspicious, and hurriedly asked him.

With a straight body, Chen Lin sat upright and said to Liu Wei: "There are few soldiers in Yecheng, Yuan Shang asked His Highness to send troops to help, His Highness can divide the troops into two routes, one way to Liyang slowly, and the other road to Yecheng in a hurry." Once the army enters Yecheng, the leading Qin generals can immediately seize Yuan Shang's military power, and without military power, Yuan Shang is just a puppet. As for Liyang, the Qin army is behind the Cao army, and the Cao army must be broken by the Great Qin soldiers in the panic, Yuan Tan only needs to open the city to meet the Qin army, and the leading generals can be praised in the name of His Royal Highness, and at the same time enter Yecheng to seize Yuan Tan's military power, and Hebei will fall into the hands of His Highness! ”

Chen Lin's strategy made Liu Wei stunned, and turned his head to look at Xu Shu on the side.

Xu Shu stroked the beard on his chin, nodded slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Duke Chen's plan can help His Highness get Hebei." His Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne soon, and Hebei is even more powerful. ”

Furrowing his brows and pondering for a moment, Liu Wei shouted outside the front hall: "Someone, invite Wei Yan and Lu Bu!" ”

Liu Wei gave an order, and a guard's voice answered immediately outside the front hall.

When the guards received the order and went to summon Wei Yan and Lu Bu, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to Chen Lin: "When Chen Gong came here, this king thought that he was a lobbyist for Yuan Shang, but he never thought that he had made a special trip to Hebei to present to this king!" ”

From his words, Chen Lin couldn't hear whether it was praise or deliberate sarcasm, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed down and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the world is the world of the Han Dynasty, and His Royal Highness is the queen of the Han Dynasty, and he was also the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the past. His Royal Highness's seizure of Hebei is justifiable, and who dares to say half a word? ”

Chen Lin's words made Liu Wei very useful.

Coming to this era, his identity has brought him countless troubles, but it also made him pay a lot less than ordinary people when he conquered the world.

The Han family lineage makes many heroes and heroes willingly come to attach themselves after learning of his name.

Like that Liu Bei, although he arranged the blood relationship after King Jing of Zhongshan, he was not recognized by the world after all, and only jumped around like a clown jumping off the beam, looking for a place in the world.

The news of Liu Bei's trip to Jiangnan had already reached Liu Wei's ears.

Knowing that Liu Bei will do something in Jingzhou in the future, if he wants to avoid the appearance of a Shu Han in the future, Liu Bian's only choice is to eliminate Cao Cao as much as possible, occupy the Central Plains, and then try to advance south!

Chen Lin's strategy was undoubtedly a good strategy for Liu Wei to speed up the process of occupying the Central Plains.

Leaning forward slightly, Liu Wei said to Chen Lin: "Duke Chen will rest in Luoyang for two days, and after two days, this king will order Wei Yan to accompany Duke Chen back to Yecheng!" ”

The reason why Wei Yan was chosen to accompany Chen Lin back to Yecheng was because Liu Wei thought about it and believed that the situation in Yecheng was more complicated than that in Liyang.

Yuan Tan, who is stubbornly guarding Liyang, is not very wise among the Yuan brothers, and he only needs Lu Bu to deal with it.

As for Yuan Shang, although he is not a great talent, he is better than Yuan Tan after all, and there is a match by his side, Liu Wei really doesn't dare to be too careless about him.

Chen Lin offered Liu Wei a plan to seize Hebei, and Yuan Tan at the head of Liyang City was fighting with Cao Jun who was on the top of the city with a long sword in hand and covered in blood.

Xiahoudun repeatedly attacked the city to no avail, and the main force led by Cao Cao arrived at noon on the third day.

As soon as the main force of Cao's army arrived in Liyang, they launched a fierce attack on Liyang City.

Cao's army, which was outnumbered, attacked the city walls, and the Yuan army on the city soon ran out of stones and oil.

Just relying on arrows, there was no power to resist the besieging Cao army.

At the foot of the city wall, it was crowded with Cao soldiers who were climbing the city, and on the ladder, there were also many Cao troops who were quickly climbing to the city.

Some of Cao's troops climbed the ladder and successfully climbed to the top of the city, where they fought with the Yuan army on the city.

Although they were numerous, due to the limitation of the number of ladders, most of them could only crowd under the city wall and look up at the city, listening to the shouts of killing coming from the city.

Holding a shield in his left hand, a Cao Jun held a short spear in his right hand, and held the ladder with the palm of his hand holding the short spear, and quickly climbed up the ladder.

Several Cao troops in front of him, some of them successfully climbed to the top of the city, and some of them just showed their heads, and they were poked down by a spear of Yuan Jun in the city.

Seeing that he was about to climb the battlements, the Cao soldier put his shield on his head and accelerated his climb.

At the moment when he was shielding his body with his shield and his head had already poked out of the battlements, a sharp short spear stabbed under the shield.

The sharp short spear pierced under the shield and stabbed the neck of the Cao soldier impartially.

He didn't even see what Yuan Jun looked like when he was holding a spear to pierce him, and his neck suddenly hurt, and he was pierced by a short spear.

Yuan Jun, who pierced his neck, pulled out the short spear with force.

As the short spear pulled out of the neck of the Cao soldier, his neck splattered with blood like a fountain, and his body tilted, falling straight down the ladder.
