At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

If Lu Bu is also Liu Yu's dark move, then...

When all the princes thought of this, they felt that their heartbeats became slower.

Bingzhou, Jizhou, Sili, Yizhou, Yanzhou, plus the now unowned Qingzhou, and the vast northern border...

Is this Liu Yu a human or a ghost?Could it be that he had anticipated the situation of the big man many years ago?

How can I fight this?Except for Gongsun Zan in Youzhou and Ma Teng in Xiliang in the north, basically all of them have fallen into Liu Yu's hands.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan had also received Liu Yu's kindness many times in his early years, so wouldn't it be possible for him to voluntarily surrender to Liu Yu?

Moreover, Ma Teng from Xiliang is also more supportive of Liu Yu. Thinking of this, the hearts of the southern princes are cold.

Their top priority now is to stop fighting among themselves and try their best to take Xuzhou into their hands.

Today, the north-south confrontation has been completely formed. You must know that if you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River, and if you guard the Huai River, you must guard the Xu!

If Xuzhou falls into Liu Yu's hands, then most of Yuzhou will not be safe.

When the Huai River falls, only the Yangtze River will be left as a line of defense.

You must know that the rivers in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are not turbulent, and the water flow is relatively stable. Many places can directly cross the river.

Moreover, the defense line of the Yangtze River is too long. If you want to protect the Yangtze River, you must disperse your troops.

But the Huainan area is different. The Huai River is crisscrossed with rivers, connecting Surabaya, Yingshui, and Lingshui.

Most of Liu Yu's soldiers and horses are cavalry, and they can't play much role in Huainan and southern Xuzhou.

As long as you guard a few important city crossings, you can sit back and relax.

Chapter 403 Xun Chen's plan

Now Liu Yu is very powerful, but all the princes will not sit still.

While scolding Cao Cao, they each sent messengers to consolidate their alliance.

However, their alliance did not include Sun Ce. Now, Yuan Shao occupies most of Yangzhou, and Sun Ce and Yuan Shao are sworn enemies.

But Sun Ce only occupies one county in Kuaiji County, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and self-protection is a problem.

Now, in their alliance, there are only two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao.

However, the area of ​​Jingzhou and Yangzhou is much larger than that of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, and the five prefectures combined.

Even Yuzhang County under the rule of Yangzhou is not much worse than Qingzhou.

The combined strength of the three parties is nearly 40, and they are surrounded by mountains and rivers.

They don't take the initiative to attack, but if they defend with all their strength, it is not so easy to break through.

Now the emperor is going to return to Luoyang. After receiving the news, the three of them decided to send a messenger to Luoyang.

They want to show weakness to Liu Yu, paralyze Liu Yu, and make him slow down.

On the other side, they sent people to contact Jian Yong in Xuzhou, as well as the Chen family and the old generals under Liu Bei's command.

Their lord died at the hands of Liu Yu, presumably they must have hatred for Liu Yu.

If all goes well, Xuzhou will surely be captured by the three of them without any bloodshed.

In this way, as long as they have been concentrating on development for two years, they may not be afraid of Liu Yu.

Even if Liu Yu doesn't give them a chance to develop, but with such a vast area and soldiers in hand, there will be nearly 50 people by then.

Moreover, the rivers in the south of Yuzhou and the south of Xuzhou intersect, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At that time, no matter how strong Liu Yubingfeng is, so what?Can he let his cavalry ride across the river?

And if Liu Yu sets up a navy, he doesn't know how many years it will take to go to the battlefield, and Liu Yu has been in the north all the time, so he doesn't know anything about navy training and combat.

Even if he eventually trains into a navy army, but by that time, they will also grow stronger, and it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

……

Yangzhou Shouchun, at this time, Yuan Shao was sitting at the head of the government office hall.

All the civil servants and generals under his command arrived one by one, and they all sat under Yuan Shao's command.

Seeing Yuan Shao at this time, his face was full of anger, everything finally came to light, and Yuan Shao also knew that he had been played by Cao Cao all the time.

From Cao Cao's entry into Luoyang, he first assisted He Jin, then He Jin was killed, pursued the eunuch, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the princes begged Dong.

This Cao Cao has been playing himself like a monkey by his side, how can Yuan Shao not be angry?

"What a Cao Aman! What a Liu Ziyuan! It's so deceiving!!"

Yuan Shao slapped the table next to him violently, and even the tea on the table was knocked down by this huge force. It is conceivable how angry Yuan Shao is now.

At this time, Xun Chen, who was sitting third among Yuan Shao's advisors, got up and spoke to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, it's better to expose Cao Mengde now than to be exposed in a battle with Liu Yu in the future! Moreover, Cao Cao's move just gave me a chance to conquer Xuzhou! And my subordinates have a plan that can let Liu Yu fight in a short time. No time to look south!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes burst into radiance. He leaned forward and asked Xun Chen eagerly.

"Mr. Youruo, what good strategy can you teach me?! Please tell me quickly!"

When Xun Chen heard the words, he first calmed down and went through the strategy in his mind.

After finding that there was no problem, he spoke to Yuan Shao who was impatient.

"My lord! Liu Yu owns Bingzhou Sili and the whole northern Xinjiang! But Youzhou and Xiliang have Bingzhou, Jizhou and Sili in the middle!"

Seeing his lord staring at him without blinking, waiting for his next words, Xun Chen spoke again.

"Furthermore, as far as I know, Gongsun Zan also has resentment towards Liu Yu in his heart, and he will never seek refuge with Liu Yu! In this way, as long as I continue to deal with it, Gongsun Zan will definitely turn against him!"

Speaking of this, Xun Chen paused, organized his thoughts again, and continued.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, the two are not in harmony, and Han Sui mainly relies on the Qiang people in Longxi! But after the plague broke out among the Qiang people last time, the Qiang people have never recovered, and Han Sui is also in a weak position !"

Xun Chen looked at Yuan Shao whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Xun Chen couldn't help smiling, and continued.

"My lord, if I can help Ma Teng defeat Han Sui, let Ma Teng unify Xiliang, and then send people to unite with the countries of the Western Regions, after explaining how powerful he is, the countries of the Western Regions will definitely send troops to fight against Liu!"

After Yuan Shao heard this, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and then took up the conversation with an excited expression.

"Should we let Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng attack Liu Yu left and right?! Even if Liu Yu cannot be defeated, can Liu Yu be restrained so that he has no time to look south?!"

Hearing this, Xun Chen nodded with a smile, and said to Yuan Shao.

"My lord is wise! This is part of Xun Chen's plan!"

Yuan Shao heard the words, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said anxiously to Xun Chen.

"Mr. Youruo, do you have any plans for the next step?! Tell me quickly!"

Hearing this, Xun Chen saluted Yuan Shao again before speaking.

"My lord, at present, our Southern Alliance seems to be powerful, but it is actually a piece of sand. Moreover, Liu Biao is a man who emphasizes civility over martial arts. He does not have a strong grasp of Jingzhou's power. It is very easy to defeat himself. My lord can take advantage of Liu Yu I have no time to look south, and take Jingzhou into my pocket!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face anymore. Jingzhou has a vast territory, which is no worse than his Yangzhou.

Moreover, Jingzhou is richer than Yangzhou. Among them, there are many gentry, huge food and grass, and money like mountains, but what Yuan Shao is most afraid of is the gentry!

If Jingzhou can also be included in the bag, plus Xuzhou, even without his brother Yuan Shu, relying on Jingyang and Yangzhou, he will not be afraid of Liu Yu!

Here Yuan Shao was still thinking, but Xu You couldn't sit still, he stood up, looked at Xun Chen, his face was full of doubts, and he said in his mouth.

"Mr. Youruo's big pie, is it too big?! It is indeed a good strategy to unite Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan, but although Liu Biao in Jingzhou does not have strong control over Jingzhou, he and the gentry are also mutually beneficial! And Jingzhou is no match. How weak is my Yangzhou, how can I subdue it?!"

Xu You's words were exactly what Yuan Shao thought in his heart. Although he was puzzled, Yuan Shao knew that Xun Chen would not be alarmist.

So Yuan Shao frowned, and said to Xu You with displeasure.

"Ziyuan, don't be impatient, listen to Mr. Youruo!"

When Xu You heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at Yuan Shao who was unhappy, Xu You had no choice but to sit down resentfully.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao said to Xun Chen, "Mr. You Ruo, please continue."

Hearing this, Xun Chen bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, but his face was very calm, and he didn't feel the slightest displeasure because of Xu You's questioning.

"My lord, why did Liu Biao sit firmly in Jingzhou? The gentry! And if you ask who is the leader of the gentry in the world? The Yuan family belongs to the lord! The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and the Yuan family is not the leader of the world's noble families!"

When Yuan Shao heard the words, he was also very proud. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family are the heads of the noble families in the world!

In the eyes of the secular world, Yuan Shao is a bright light in the darkness, and Zhenbei King Liu Yu is the endless darkness!

Seeing the smile on his lord's face, Xun Chen continued to speak.

"If my lord sends someone to secretly contact the major clans in Jingzhou, and then promises great benefits, surely many gentry clans will not reject my lord!"

Today, the world is in chaos, and the gentry will definitely recommend someone who can set things right, and this person is definitely not Liu Biao!

And what Xun Chen said was right, as long as he, Yuan Shao, came forward, many nobles in Jingzhou would definitely turn against him.

When the time comes to unite these gentry secretly, it will not be so difficult to attack Jingzhou!

Chapter 405

On this day, Mrs. Cai did not know how many times she sighed.

The more she thought about it, the more bored she became, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became!

She couldn't help but vented her anger on the innocent flowers and plants.

I saw that she pulled out the brightest flower among the flowers and plants.

Then, he kneaded it into a ball with both hands, and finally threw it out viciously, obviously taking this flower as someone Liu.

She stomped her feet in confusion, Madam Cai snorted again, then turned her head, intending to turn around and go back to her room.

But at this moment, a maid beside her hurried over with a letter in her hand.

"Madam, there is a person outside the door who wants to deliver this letter to your lord, and that person also said that if your lord is not at home, you should give this letter to your wife for review!"

Mrs. Cai frowned imperceptibly when she heard this, and said in a tone of anger.

"Does that person not know that your lord is in the government office?! Why did you send it to your home? Do you want me to have a look?"

Hearing this, the servant girl shook her head aggrievedly, indicating that she didn't know.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cai didn't make things difficult for her, so she took the letter out of curiosity.

However, she did not open it immediately, but returned to the room with the letter.

After Mrs. Cai returned to the room, she stretched out her tender little hand, gently opened the letter, and then read it carefully.

When she saw the first line of writing, Mrs. Cai's eyes could not help but brighten up, and she saw that the handwriting on the letter was very powerful, which can be said to be penetrating.

The pen is a dragon and a snake, with a majestic and domineering momentum, and the quotations in the letter show that the writer's literary skills are very profound!

Mrs. Cai continued to read patiently. It turned out that it was a letter sent by Yangzhou to discuss the alliance.

This letter did not say anything too important, it was nothing more than strengthening the friendship between Jingzhou and Yangzhou and encouraging trade.

But when she saw the name of the person who wrote the letter, Mrs. Cai's heart was not only moved.

"Yuan Shao? Is that the Yuan Benchu ​​of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes?"

Muttering to herself, Mrs. Cai not only let her thoughts fly, but also fantasized about Yuan Shao's face in her mind.

It is said that Yuan Shaosheng was very handsome, and he was born in the Yuan family of four generations and three princes.

Although he is not as good as the king of Zhenbei, like a character in the legend, he is also a hero that can be counted among the big men.

Moreover, now that Mrs. Cai saw Yuan Shao's writing, she became even more curious about Yuan Shao.

Words are like a person, presumably Yuan Shao must be as handsome and suave as the rumors say.

Moreover, Yuan Shao is only 35 and [-] years old now, and he is in his prime, so he holds great power and controls the entire Yangzhou!

He became famous when he was young, and he has done many earth-shattering events.

In contrast, her own man is very old, already in his sixtieth year, and this Jingzhou was obtained through the support of her Cai family.
