Chapter 319 Yun Chang and Meng De

Ever since Yuan Tan got North China and East China, Boss Cao in Central China felt that the Yali Mountain was big.

Boss Cao can't eat well or sleep well every day, but the number of times he looks for women has increased by 50.00%.

After this day.

Boss Cao called Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others to discuss.

I feel that now I don't want to think about expansion, but to stabilize the current situation.

When a vassal cannot expand, he will naturally try to establish a good relationship with the surrounding vassals.

So Cao Cao sent Guo Jia as an envoy to the southern region to lobby the princes and establish a good relationship.

Although Liu Bei is only a small prince in a county, he is an uncle of the emperor and has a good relationship with the people around him, so he is an important breakthrough.

Under this premise, Guo Jia came to Xinye City.

Liu Bei warmly welcomed Guo Jia.

In the chamber.

Uncle Liu Huang invited Guo Jia to sit with him in the hall to show his virtue and respect for Boss Cao.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all below.

Guo Jia's serious words echoed in the hall.

"Yuan Tan is a national thief..."

Liu Bei immediately looked over with a straight face, and gave affirmation, "Feng Xiao's words have reached my heart..."

"We want to unite, do justice for the heavens, eradicate violence for the people, rejuvenate the Han Dynasty..." Guo Jia said more seriously.

Liu Bei immediately picked up Guo Jia's hand, stroked it, and said, "Feng Xiao, you have said everything to my heart. When I was under house arrest by Yuan Shao in the capital, I saw that Yuan Tan was not a good person."

Guo Jia also touched Liu Bei's hand, "Uncle Huang also talked to my heart, can Uncle Huang introduce me to Liu Jingzhou?"

Ever since, Liu Bei personally took Guo Jia to meet Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is the overlord of Jingzhou, but he is old, and he has no ambitions when he gets old, and only wants to spend his old age peacefully.

And now the biggest "beast" in the world is Yuan Tan. Since Cao Cao and the others are standing in front of him, why not do it?

Also hit it off.

After arriving here, Guo Jia's trip to Jingzhou went very smoothly. The surrounding Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and others all became close, which relieved Cao Cao's worries.You can have no scruples and concentrate on developing and fighting Yuan Tan.

When Guo Jia left, it happened to be the Qingming Festival in 205 AD.

"Feng Xiao has a good journey!"

Liu Bei waved his arms. Although Guo Jia had gone far away, he still shouted kindly until he was out of sight.

Turning around, looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei said: "It is not a bad thing for our future to be able to reach a consensus with Cao Cao."

He added: "Ching Ming Festival is coming soon, let's worship our ancestors on the banks of the Han River as in previous years."

Zhang Fei said, "I'll prepare the three animals."

At this time, Guan Yu's expression became difficult.

Liu Bei immediately asked, "Second brother, is there something on your mind?"

Guan Yu cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Brother, since we have reached an agreement with Cao Cao, I want to go back to my hometown."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked at each other. The two of them came from Zhuo County. Now Zhuo County is in Yuan Tan's hands, and they can't go back.

But Guan Yu is different. Although Hedong is in the hands of Cao Cao, it is now a friendly relationship.

Guan Yu is going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Liu Bei got serious, "Second brother, I was negligent because of elder brother, and the three of us went to Hedong together to worship our ancestors."

"Brother, you can't be in charge of the overall situation here." Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei again, "Third Brother, you still need to stay and protect Big Brother."

How could Liu Bei and the others not know that what Guan Yu said made sense.

"Second brother, it's just that you are alone, brother, I feel uneasy."

"Brother, don't worry about me. I'll go back quickly, and I'll be back in less than a month."

So on this day, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu off.

Guan Yu rode alone to Hedong.

Five days later.

Cao Cao's base camp River South Xuchang.

In the official office.

Boss Cao sat high in the hall, with a melancholy look on his face, "I heard that Yuan Tan has been mobilizing troops for a while, and I don't know what his intentions are."

"Meng De, something serious happened!" Cao Hong, who was in charge of intelligence, came anxiously.

"What's the big deal?" Cao Cao looked nervous for a while.

"Yuan Tan's army of [-] gathered in Hanoi County!"

Cao Cao's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he immediately thought of the purpose of Yuan Jun's gathering in Hanoi, "After Yuan Tan stopped for a year, this is going to war again. Sure enough, as Feng Xiao said, Yuan Tan must first march if he wants to go south." Take Hadong County from me."

Hedong County is in the north of Luoyang. It is a large county north of the Yellow River. It has outstanding people and a large number of civil and military forces. At this time, Guan Yu Xu Huang was the leader. They were all from Hedong County.

Hedong County is now in the hands of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao with Hedong County in his hand can threaten Yuan Tan's Hanoi, Bingzhou, and Jizhou at any time.

Obviously, Yuan Tan's capture of Hedong was to stabilize the rear for future large-scale southern expeditions.

A prince who completely controls the north of the Yellow River must have a different military position.

Guo Jia stood up at this time, and under the gaze of everyone, he said coldly: "We have long guessed that Yuan Tan's next target is Hedong. This year, the city defense construction has never been slack. Hedong County is our last in the north of the Yellow River. The barrier must never be taken away by Yuan Tan."

Ever since, Cao Cao decisively mobilized his troops, crossed the river and headed for Hedong.

The mobilization of armies takes time.

However, Cao Cao led [-] vanguard troops, crossed the Yellow River within three days and entered Yuanqu County in the west of Hedong County.

Yuanqu County is the hometown of Emperor Shun. It is located at the southern tip of Shanxi Province.

this day.

The official office in Yuanqu City.

Cao Cao was sitting in the hall, and Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun and other generals were there, which shows that Boss Cao attaches great importance to this battle.

They are now listening to Guo Jia's analysis of the battle situation.

"My lord, Yuanqu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the south is a river valley plain. If Yuan Tan wants to attack my Yuanqu, he must come from the south."

At this time, a scout came in, "My lord, Yuan Jun took Xu Huang as the vanguard, and the five thousand troops have already crossed our river east border and are coming straight here."

Cao Cao looked at everyone with tricky eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Huang is from Hedong, he is familiar with the geography here, and he has extraordinary martial arts skills. Yuan Tan's use of this person as a vanguard is very harmful to our army."

Xu Huang's prestige was fully established following Yuan Tan's Southern and Northern Wars, and now everyone knows it.

"Who wants to fight the enemy for the vanguard?"

Cao Cao looked at all the generals.

All of a sudden, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Jin and Li Dian all stood up, "I am willing to be a pioneer."

Cao Cao was very pleased with the fact that all the generals were invited to fight.But he knew that, except for Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan, the others were no match for Xu Huang at all.

And even Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan couldn't be sure.

The vanguard battle is very important, and Cao Cao couldn't choose a candidate for a while.

At this time, a guard came in from the outside, "My lord, General Guan Yu is asking to see you outside."

Everyone was stunned.

"How did Guan Yu appear here?" Cao Cao said to himself.

The guard hurriedly said: "My lord, General Guan Yu said that he came to Hedong to worship his ancestors. He heard that the lord came here, so he specially came to visit."
