The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45
Originally, it was thought that the court's decree could arrive in Youzhou in one month, but now the world is in chaos, post stations everywhere are seriously damaged, riots and bandits are rampant, and communication is difficult. Liu Xiao has been waiting for two months without waiting for the court's decree.

Even King Zuoxian's [-] horses have been sent to Youzhou and handed over to Liu Xiao. The court's order has not yet been reached, so Liu Xiao can only release Zuo Xianwang Jotun back to Saibei first, instead of agreeing that the future will definitely be Expand mutual market trade.

Three thousand horses, plus the original one thousand cavalry, are enough to form three thousand cavalry. Although they are not particularly powerful cavalry, they finally have their own team. Xu Huang is the infantry captain, Gao Chong is the cavalry school Lieutenants, each in charge of the infantry battalion, under Yue Fei's control, are in strict training every day.

It's just that Liu Xiao couldn't help but feel anxious because he didn't have the will. In just half a year, the pattern of the Central Plains changed drastically—Yuan Shao drove tigers and coyotes and occupied Jizhou; Cao Cao recruited troops and occupied Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu relied on The reputation of the four generations and three princes occupies Yangzhou; as for Guanzhong, the current situation is becoming more and more chaotic. Under Dong Zhuo's suppression, the Xiliang Army has begun to renounce Germany, and it is not far from collapse.

But he himself is still stuck in Youzhou, unable to realize his ambitions.

"Wen Ruo, I heard that you have a nephew who is equally talented, how about bringing him to Youzhou?"

Although Liu Xiao was anxious, he couldn't show it to the outside, and smiled at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu said solemnly: "My lord said that Xun Yu had already edited a book a month ago and ordered someone to send it to Yingchuan. It's just that the journey is long. Even if Xun You went all out, it would still take another month. I was able to come to Youzhou, but it is indisputable that Xun You is more talented than Xun Yu, with Xun You here, my lord can accomplish great things!"

Liu Xiao was dissatisfied and said: "Wen Ruo, what you did in this matter is a little dishonest. How can you hide it from me when you invite Gongda to vote? At least I should also write a book, prepare a generous gift and order someone to invite you. You By doing so, won't the world think that I, Liu Xiao, are neglecting the Magi?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "My lord is right. However, Xun You is my nephew, my dearest relative, so there is no need for red tape. As for other sages, it is natural to ask the lord to come forward in person. My lord, please be patient." Wait, within a month, Xun You will arrive in Youzhou!"

Liu Xiao nodded. If Xun You really arrived in Youzhou, he would be able to sleep peacefully with the help of his uncles and nephews, one inside and the other outside.

"My lord, I heard that because of the incident in Jizhou, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are now at loggerheads. Gongsun Zan has already begun mobilizing heavy troops to prepare for war with Yuan Shao."

Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiao nodded and said, "The news has already spread. Yuan Shao's methods are sophisticated, and he is simply playing with Gongsun Zan with applause. It's a pity that Gongsun Zan is being used without knowing it. By the time he finds out, the day lily will be completely cold." Now, it is easier said than done to raise an army to challenge Yuan? Now that Yuan Shao has many generals, and with the help of conspirators such as Xin Ping and Feng Ji, how can Gongsun Zan make Yuan Shao's opponent?"

"It's just that once Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan and occupies Jizhou, then occupies Youzhou or Bingzhou again. Wouldn't that be too powerful? Looking at the Central Plains, there is really no one who can compete with him. We must help Gongsun Zan. Let Gongsun Zan contain Yuan Shao and give us time to occupy Beihai County and even Qingzhou. Otherwise, after defeating Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao will surely go north to take Youzhou and go east to occupy Qingzhou. We have only a few soldiers, but there is no way Compete with Yuan Shao..."

Xun Yu said.

Liu Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, Wen Ruo, what do you think I handed Dianwei and Zhijie to Gongsun Zan before? Yan Liangwen is ugly and brave, and although Gongsun Zan is also a famous general, he is no match for these two. Wei Zai can at least deter Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and win a respite for Gongsun Zan, and the plain is not far from Youzhou. Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have a close friendship and will not sit idly by. Easy, even if Gongsun Zan is defeated, he can still retreat to Beiping, what we are waiting for is when the two armies are exhausted, and only when the snipe and clam fight to the bitterest moment can the fisherman get the greatest benefit!"

Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat, he never expected that the lord's scheme would be so far-reaching, not only to stab Gongsun Zan with two thorns, but also to help Gongsun Zan block Yuan Shao, killing two birds with one stone!
Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "My lord, Yuan Shao is powerful now. Although Dian Wei is brave enough to win the three armies, after all, we can't turn the tide of battle by ourselves. We still have to be careful. Once the battle situation changes suddenly and Gongsun Zan is defeated, then we will be in danger... ..."

Liu Xiao nodded and said: "It's okay, Baima Yicong is unparalleled in combat power. Even if Yuan Shao is powerful, Yuan Shao will not be able to win all at once. Just in case, Pengju immediately sent cavalry scouts in the direction of Jieqiao to watch closely. It is not impossible for Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's armies to go out and fight in person when necessary."

Just after Liu Xiao finished speaking, Hu Sanniang walked in quickly, bowed and said, "My lord, Yuan Shao of Jizhou sent a counselor Xin Ping to visit him, and he is already outside the gate of the camp..."

"hey-hey……"

Liu Xiao smiled and said, "I was talking about them, and they have already come together..."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing more than being a lobbyist, and he wants us to stab Gongsun Zan in the back. There's nothing to be surprised about..."

"Mr. Xin, please come in."

Liu Xiao said lightly.

Not long after, Xin Ping walked in quickly.

"Xin Ping sees General Xuangan, the general is always good, my lord ordered me to greet the general!"

Xin Ping clapped his hands.

Liu Xiao smiled and said: "That's great. I would also like to thank Ben Chu for his warm reception all the way from Luoyang to Youzhou. Liu will always remember it in his heart! I heard how much Mr. Ben Chu relied on under Ben Chu's account. I don't know. Why did you come to Youzhou?"

Xin Ping's heart sank slightly, and he wiped it off. This young man is quite vindictive. To expose this matter in public is obviously to save face for himself and the lord, but now he has something to ask for. Welcome with a smile.

"General Xuangan, don't misunderstand. The former general came to Youzhou to be robbed. It was not my lord's doing. This incident explains Yuan Gonglu's instigation everywhere. General, don't let the villain's conspiracy succeed and affect the relationship between you and my two families." relation."

Xin Ping quickly replied: "Xin Ping heard that the general had a quarrel with Gongsun Zan when he first arrived in Youzhou. Gongsun Zan relied on his power and repeatedly persecuted the general. It is really deceiving. Now my master is confronting Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao and intends to invite the general. Send troops to attack Gongsun Zan, if the general is willing, my lord is willing to submit a letter to recommend the lord as the governor of Yangzhou, marquis of Chen Xiang, what does the general think?"
