    "My lord, I admired that most of this plan was devised by military advisors. You can only add a few additions to it."

    Li You slightly cupped his hands to salute, he was very humble. Wen Han pretended to be calm and scolded Li You.

    "Hey Zhongwen, how could I not know what you are capable of? Don't belittle yourself, otherwise people in the world will laugh at me for not knowing how to be talented."

    Wenhan has always attached great importance to Li You. Not to mention his peerless ingenuity in the past under Dong Zhuo, which helped him reach the pinnacle of power in the world. Just because of Li You's loyalty to Wenhan, who was willing to destroy his face for the sake of Wenhan's reputation, Wenhan also  How could it not be reused for him?

    "My lord, your lesson is right, you will definitely correct it in the future"

    Li You was scolded by Wen Han, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he showed a satisfied and comfortable smile, as if he had really found his place with Li Zhongwen under Wen Han's command. Wen Han also smiled brilliantly, and the two of them looked at each other.  After staring for a while, Wenhan pondered for a while, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, Wenhan squinted his eyes and said again

    "It seems that if I want to implement this world-wide drama, I have to take action personally. I will write a letter right now. Zhongwen, please pass on my order. Send a letter to Luoyang and deliver it to Prime Minister Cao."

    Li You nodded slightly. As soon as Wenhan finished speaking, he guessed what Wenhan was thinking. Wenhan wanted to meet Cao Cao in person and persuade him to join in this world-wide drama.

    Then Li You bowed his head and left, while Wen Han walked to the desk and began to write the document.

    With Li You¡¯s plan, the war on both sides of the northwest is about to break out.

    At the same time, in Qingzhou in the north, although Liu Bei was rescued by Zang Ba, Cao Cao was determined to put him to death and sent pursuers one after another. Zang Ba's men fought with Cao Cao's pursuers for three days and one small battle.  , a five-day battle, nearly half of the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out by Cao's army, leaving less than 2,000 remnants. They finally broke out of the Xuzhou area and came to Qingzhou.

    Liu Bei knew that the situation was over, and the princes from all sides were constantly vying for hegemony. With only two thousand remaining soldiers, and Cao Cao, an enemy as big as a giant mountain, it would be difficult for him to attack again, so he hoped to surrender to Yuan Shao, and settled down for the time being, waiting for his comeback.  the timing

    Here, Liu Bei, Taishi Ci, and Zang Ba traveled three hundred miles a day without stopping, and hurried on a starry night. They rushed to Qingzhou City and asked the gatekeepers for their names. They came to report to Qingzhou Mu Nai Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Tansu respected Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness. When he heard that he was defeated by Cao Cao and was fleeing for his life, he even opened the door to welcome him, entered the public house, and asked him carefully about the reason.  He falsely accused him of plotting to kill Tao Qian, and later defeated Xuzhou in an attempt to gain sympathy.

    Yuan Tan knew that Liu Bei had an old grudge with his father Yuan Shao, so he did not dare to accept Liu Bei without authorization. He first left Liu Bei to stay in the post house, and all his soldiers and horses were placed in the lower camp outside the city. Then Yuan Tan sent a letter to his father Yuan Shao, waiting for a reply.

    Talking about Yuan Shao, seeing that since Cao Cao proclaimed the emperor Luoyang, his subordinates have become more and more powerful, almost as powerful as Cao Cao. Yuan Shao was unwilling to accept it. He once sent people to Luoyang, hoping to welcome the Han emperor to Ye County, establish an imperial capital, and rebuild the imperial court. Cao Cao saw  After Yuan Shao came to envoy, he just sneered after hearing this, and then wrote a letter to reply. Although there were no angry words, there were many sarcastic remarks in it. The general meaning was that when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in danger,  , Yuan Shao only focused on conquering Youzhou, regardless of its safety, and Cao Cao, who cared about the Han Dynasty, sent troops to serve the king, and rushed to Yongzhou to stabilize the overall situation. Fortunately, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty escaped from danger, but when the court was stable, Yuan Shao relied only on a piece of paper.  I just want to send Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty away. How can anything in the world be so cheap?

    Yuan Shao was furious after seeing this and wanted to attack Cao Cao, but each of his advisers held their own opinions and argued endlessly. Yuan Shao saw that his advisers had different opinions and his interest was greatly reduced, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

    After that, Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shu and Liu Bei one after another, and that his power had surged again. He suddenly became more anxious and wanted to conquer Cao Cao, but found that there was no reason to raise an army. Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly received a report from Qingzhou.  Yuan Shao hurriedly read the document and learned that Liu Bei wanted to surrender, so he immediately summoned his advisers to discuss it.

    Guo Tu knew that Yuan Shao had been planning to attack Cao Cao for a long time, so he came to advise him. Why not temporarily accept Liu Bei, and then attack Cao Cao on the grounds that Cao Cao had slandered the courtiers and framed the country's loyalty?

    "Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde joined forces to attack my brother. They were not supposed to help each other, but Cao Cao was lawless. In order to increase his power, he arbitrarily attacked the country's courtiers. How can I sit idly by and obey the public principles of such traitors who are causing chaos in the country?  First accept Liu Bei, and then prepare troops and horses to prepare for a crusade against the rebels who are causing trouble in the country.

    Yuan Shao was overjoyed after hearing this. Just when it was finalized, Tian Feng suddenly walked out to advise him.

    "No, my lord, you must not raise the army for years. The people are exhausted, the warehouses are empty, and the army must not be revived."

    Yuan Shao frowned for a moment, then his face turned cold, and he stared at Tian Feng coldly.

    "Tian Yuanhao is so impudent. Why did you admonish me to send troops to Luoyang a year ago?"

    "This time, that time, Cao CaoIn order to attack Yuan Jiujiu, we mobilized nearly 100,000 troops. The troops in Luoyang were empty. If my lord had been willing to listen to me and join forces with Yuan Jiujiao to attack front and rear, we would have only needed 100,000 troops, divided into three armies, namely Hanoi and Jiji.  It only takes half a year to attack the counties and Qingzhou and conquer Cao Cao's territory one after another and destroy his power.

    But now, Cao Cao's situation has become overwhelming. If he wants to conquer, the Lord will have to recruit all 700,000 soldiers under his command. It is still unknown how long it will take to defeat Cao Cao. The daily consumption of food and grass must be huge and unbearable. Once the food and grass are used up, the soldiers will be exhausted.  If there is no food to eat, the morale of the army will be unstable and the morale of our army will be low."

    Tian Fengmang¡¯s face was anxious, and he was about to say more, but he didn¡¯t notice that Yuan Shao¡¯s face became more gloomy and terrifying the more he listened. Suddenly Yuan Shao gave a loud shout and stood up, trembling with anger.

    "Tian Yuanhao, I will tolerate you again and again. Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have a few talents. You are lawless and you really think that I dare not punish you severely."

    "How dare you, Feng, do this? Your lord, we should build more boats in Hanoi, repair weapons, dispatch elite troops, and garrison the border. Wait for three years before we have sufficient food and grass, and then we can start the expedition again. The big thing can be decided."

    Tian Feng was an upright person, but he ignored Yuan Shao¡¯s threats and remonstrated again.

    "Otherwise, it would be as easy as turning the palm of your hand to use the power of Ming Gong to strengthen the prosperity of the three states and raise an army to defeat Cao Cao's thieves. Why delay the sun and the moon?"

    Xu You, who had been observing secretly, suddenly walked out and retorted

    Counselor Jushou, his bright moon-like eyes condensed, and he hurriedly said:

    "The strategy to win is not to be strong. Cao Cao's laws are enforced and his soldiers are well-trained. They are different from Gongsun Zan who is trapped. Although Yuan Hao's words are too straightforward, there is a lot of truth in them. I hope my lord can adopt them."

    Guo Tu had a sinister look in his eyes, and as soon as Jushou finished speaking, he said:

    "Feiye, my lord, is sitting in three states, with an army of 700,000, and countless fierce generals and advisers. His power is enough to become the leader of the world's princes. The Lord should make a big decision in time to wipe out Cao's thieves, frighten the world's princes, and follow the Lord's power.  It is getting bigger and bigger. In less than five years, the princes of the world will see that they are unable to resist, and they will come to join this troubled world. It will end as soon as possible, and the people of the world will be able to avoid the war and live and work in peace and contentment. It is really a blessing."

    The four people were still arguing. It happened that Shen Pei and Xun Chen came in from outside. After paying homage to each other, Yuan Shao hesitated and asked.

    ¡°You and the other two are very knowledgeable, let¡¯s see what we propose.¡±

    After the two of them saluted, Yuan Shao described the matter in detail, and then asked

    "What's the point of raising an army? What's the point of not being able to afford an army?"

    Shen Pei agreed with Tian Feng and Ju Sue, and immediately advised Yuan Shao to listen to Tian Feng's words. Yuan Shao did not reply, but his face was very unhappy, and he looked at Xun Chen.  It was neutrality. In fact, Yuan Shao had a bright mind. He knew that his advisers were divided into one faction, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Shen Pei, and Xu You and Guo Tu were in another faction. Therefore, whenever the two parties were at odds, Yuan Shao would ask Xun Chen for his opinion.

    Suddenly countless eyes were cast on Xun Chen. Xun Chen had a vicious eye. How could he not know Yuan Shao's thoughts? Yuan Shao originally wanted to attack Cao Cao, but he was indecisive by nature. Whenever faced with an important situation, he would hesitate.

    Xun Chen concentrated his attention. At this time, he knew how to do it so that he could get more benefits for himself.

    "The Duke of Ming used the masses to defeat the few, used the strong to attack the weak, and defeated the Han thieves to support the royal family, so he raised an army."

    Xun Chen obeyed Yuan Shao's wishes so that he could always be trusted by him. Unlike Tian Feng, his upright temperament deeply offended Yuan Shao since he tried to admonish Yuan Shao to join forces with Yuan Shu but failed. From then on, Yuan Shao rarely listened to his words.  , Tian Feng was left out by Yuan Shao, and he was depressed all day long, living an extremely miserable life.

    "Hahaha, what you see is exactly what I like. Let me decide who dares to say anything more about this matter. I will kill him immediately."

    Yuan Shao laughed at first, then suddenly saw the expressions of Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Shen Pei changing dramatically. He wanted to speak, but he immediately said in a cold voice, and suddenly increased the pronunciation of his words and shouted loudly.

    Tian Feng, Ju Shou and Shen Pei all trembled violently and dared not speak anymore. They could only sigh sadly in their hearts. Yuan Shao did not distinguish between loyal and traitor, and his advisers only cared about their own interests.

    After Yuan Shao finalized the plan to conquer Cao Cao, he sent people to Qingzhou overnight to reply. Yuan Tan received his father's reply and was very happy to see that Yuan Shao was willing to accept Liu Bei. He quickly sent people from this state to escort Liu Bei to the border of the plain.  Yuan Shao personally led the crowd thirty miles away from Ye County to meet Liu Bei

    Liu Bei was flattered when he saw that Yuan Shao ignored his past grievances and treated him with such courtesy. He quickly dismounted and thanked him.

    Yuan Shao hurriedly answered the courtesy, helped Liu Bei up and said:

    "In the past, you and I had many misunderstandings, and we were at war with each other. Later, I heard about Xuande's benevolent deeds, and I realized that Xuande was a loyal and good minister. I felt sad and uneasy. I hope that we can repeat the old good times with you. It is a great relief to meet you now.  Thoughts of a lifetime of longings¡±

    Yuan Shao is telling lies with his eyes open. When Liu Bei stopped Yuan ShaoIf it weren't for Liu Bei to attack Jizhou, Yuan Shao would have easily captured Jizhou. Therefore, Yuan Shao hated Liu Bei very deeply. In the past, outside Wu'an City, Yuan Shao had a deadly attack on Liu Bei. Nearly 50,000 Yuan soldiers led Wu'an  The city was completely surrounded. If it weren't for the two generals Pan and Zhang by Liu Bei's side, he would have been able to escape with great difficulty.

    Although Liu Bei knew that what Yuan Shao said was all lies, he didn't dare to reveal what he was thinking. Liu Bei pretended to be intimidated by Yuan Shao's magnanimity, and hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands.

    "Liu Bei was lonely and impoverished. He wanted to surrender to his disciples for a long time, but he was attacked by Cao Cao. His wife was also captured. He wanted the general to accommodate people from all over the world, so he did not shy away from being ashamed. He came to ask for help and vowed to repay him."

    "Hahaha, if you can get Xuande to invest, I will be as powerful as a tiger. Don't worry about Xuande. I will definitely treat you with the courtesy of a national scholar."

    Liu Bei pretended to be moved again, and each had a false relationship with Yuan Shao. Needless to say, Yuan Shao liked Liu Bei and treated him very well. They lived together in Jizhou. At the same time, Yuan Shao discussed with Liu Bei and his advisers, preparing to send troops to Cao Cao. Tian Fengjian  It was inevitable for Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao. Although Yuan Shao had previously threatened to behead him, Tian Feng knew that Yuan Shao had raised his troops hastily and the chance of winning was less than 50%, so he came to remonstrate again.

    "My lord, although Cao Cao only has 300,000 soldiers, he has won great victories in successive battles. Now he has to rest for a year to recuperate the morale of Cao Cao's soldiers. In addition, he vigorously promotes the policy of farming under his jurisdiction. In recent years, he has won consecutive battles.  After a good harvest, Cao Cao has abundant food and excellent soldiers. It is better to hold on to the enemy for a long time than to underestimate him, and then move forward when there is a gap."
