"Report, the Wei Guo envoy sent a letter!"

In the city of Linzi in Qi State, Yuan Shao looked at Cao Shuo's letter with a livid face. This bastard became more and more arrogant.

Xu You asked, "Your Majesty, why is your face so ugly? Is it because Cao Shuo's asking price is too high?"

This year's wheat had just been harvested, Yuan Shao sent someone to Xindu to redeem Yan Liang, but he was beaten back.

"Hmph, Cao Shuo actually offered a high price of 500 million shi, and he can only redeem Guo Tu alone."

Xu You was very surprised, what do you want Guo Tu to do, they are short of generals now, can Guo Tu go to battle and kill the enemy?

"Then how much food and grass is needed to redeem General Yan Liang?"

Yuan Shao said with a mournful face, "Yan Liang has joined Cao Shuo, and Cao Shuo won't ask for a price!"

"This……"

Xu You felt that Qingzhou was bleak, and only Yuan Shao and his son were able to lead the army to fight, plus Gao Gan and Chun Yuqiong. They had reached the end of their rope.

Yuan Tan said: "Father, no matter how brave the general is, he can only kill a few more people. Instead of spending so much food and grass to redeem people, it is better to use all of it to recruit soldiers. As long as our soldiers are more than Cao Shuo's, bite And kill them too."

Feng Ji agreed: "Young Master is right, we can completely defeat Cao Shuo's army in Langya Kingdom by relying on the superiority of numbers."

Yuan Shao's face was full of sadness, could he really win by numbers?If that's the case, he doesn't have to worry.

But in fact, there is no such possibility at all. Cao Shuo has nearly a million troops at least, and Xuzhou alone has 10,000+ soldiers. If Sun Ce did not invade Guangling County, then the next target of these 10,000+ soldiers is very likely. It is Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao suddenly realized a problem, he could not defeat Cao Shuo alone, he had to find an ally.

Yuan Shao looked at the crowd and said, "Who can send an envoy to Yuan Shu's office in Yangzhou and Sun Ce's office, only by uniting with them can we have a way out!"

Cui Yan said: "Your Majesty, I have had some friendship with Yuan Shu, and I would like to go to Jiujiang County to meet Yuan Shu."

Suddenly Yuan Shao's eyes lit up. It would be much easier to have an acquaintance. Although the two of them are brothers, their relationship has long deteriorated to the point of fighting each other. If it can be eased, it will be good for everyone.

"Report! Two large camps suddenly appeared in the counties of Langya Kingdom and Dongwu. Cao Shuo's army has the potential to attack our Qingzhou."

"Report! Jinan National Guard General Chunyu Qiong asked for help, and Zhang He Huaxiong led an army of [-] troops to station five miles outside the city."

"Report! Cao Shuo's navy has suddenly entered Jishui and has reached Le'an County!"

Three consecutive battle reports put Yuan Shao on pins and needles. What does Cao Shuo mean?Is it a grab for food, or is it planning to attack him?
His army has just finished attacking Liaodong County, so don't they need to rest?

Xu You wiped off his cold sweat and suggested, "Your Majesty, we need to grab the grain as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the hands of Cao Shuo's army."

Yuan Shao said in horror: "Call farmers immediately and let them harvest the grain as soon as possible. We must harvest all the grain in Qingzhou within three days."

Yuan Xi said: "Father, my son is willing to lead [-] soldiers to support Le'an Kingdom!"

Not to be outdone, Yuan Tan said: "My son is willing to lead [-] soldiers to support Beihai Kingdom!"

Gao Gan saw that the two old cousins ​​had expressed their opinions, so he had no choice but to say: "Uncle, I am willing to lead an army of [-] to support Chunyu Qiong."

Yuan Shao looked at the three with a look of relief, at this critical moment, his relatives were still reliable, he looked at several counselors and said: "Xu You, you assist Tan'er, Fengji, you assist Xi'er, Wang Xiu, you assist Gan'er. "

"promise!"

"Father, the three elder brothers are all leading the army to go out, and the ministers are also willing to share the worries of the father and the king. They are willing to lead two thousand soldiers and urge the farmers to harvest the wheat."

Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao with an immature face. He is 13 years old this year, and it's time for him to go to the battlefield for some experience.

Yuan Shao looked at his youngest son with relief and said: "Shang'er's heart is understood by the father, but you are still young, so you can supervise the grain collection around the royal city."

"Thank you, Father."

Yuan Shang didn't expect to be allowed, it was really unexpected, as long as he can lead the army to practice, he will definitely not lose to his two brothers in the future.

Su You reminded; "My lord, Mi Zhu, the prefect of Donglai County sent a letter yesterday saying that the grain harvest in Donglai County has been harvested, and most of it has been collected in the granary of the governor's mansion."

Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Immediately issue an order to Mi Zhu, asking him to send someone to deliver food and grass to Wangcheng."

"No!"

Feng Ji narrowed his eyes, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, Mi Zhu's younger sister has been in Jizhou for several months. With Cao Shuo's character, it is absolutely impossible for such a beauty to be locked up in a prison. She has become a concubine, so we have to guard against Mi Zizhong."

"Ok?"

Yuan Shao felt that what Feng Ji said was very reasonable. After all, the Mi family had a huge family fortune, and anyone would miss it.

"Is there any change in Mi Zizhong in Donglai County?" Yuan Shao asked hastily.

Feng Ji said: "I heard that he has a close relationship with Chen Deng in Xuzhou. The Chen family became traitors before Xuzhou fell."

Yuan Shao looked terrified, Mi Zhu had benefited him too much last time, which made him feel that Mi Zhu was sincerely submitting, but since Mi Zhu went to Donglai County, he never gave him any help.

Xu You said: "Your Majesty, if he joins forces with Cao Shuo secretly, then Cao Shuo's navy can easily enter Donglai County, and then attack from all sides. Wouldn't our army be in danger?"

"Come here, please invite Mi Zizhong to Wangcheng!"
