    In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, Jizhou City, Hebei Province.

    This year, the cold wind in Hebei came very early, followed by endless snowstorms. The sky rarely cleared up, and what was even more gloomy than the sky was the atmosphere in Jizhou City.

    In the early summer of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao personally led a regrouped army of more than 100,000 troops to fight Cao Cao at the Yellow River crossing, intending to avenge his humiliation. However, after crossing the Yellow River, he fell into Cao Cao's ambush plan and returned with another major defeat.  Seventy-eight percent of the soldiers and horses he finally raised were lost. Yuan Shao fled back to Hebei in a hurry. He was ashamed and angry. He vomited blood on the way and fell off his horse. From then on, he was bedridden and could no longer stand.  stand up.  News came out from the governor's mansion that Yuan Shao could no longer see things, and all government affairs were taken over by his youngest son Yuan Shang. There was also news that Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, his second son Yuan Xi, and his third son Yuan Shang quarreled in the governor's mansion, and in the end they almost drew swords on each other.  , From then on, Yuan Tan no longer went to the governor's office to discuss matters.  After the three sons turned against each other, it was rumored that the sound of sharpening knives in Yuan Tan's mansion could be heard every day. Some people even said that they saw thousands of Yuan Tan's soldiers secretly entering the city under the cover of night In short,  All kinds of news are circulating in the market, and everyone is feeling uneasy. The dark clouds before the storm are getting thicker and thicker over Jizhou, threatening to destroy the city.

    Late at night.

    The wind was blowing with snow, whistling across the sky. Liu Bei, wrapped in a heavy cloak, stood at the window with his hands behind his back, muttering something in his mouth.  He stretched out his hand to push the window open a crack, and the wind blew snowflakes in, blurring his eyes.  Liu Bei frowned and dodged for a moment, then looked out through the gap in the window again, without saying a word and looking gloomy.

    "Listening to this news, I couldn't help but feel empty in my heart. I couldn't muster up the energy to use swords or guns." Liu Bei let out a long sigh, closed the window, and smiled self-deprecatingly at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Think about it.  We have been working hard for so long, but at the last critical moment, I had the idea of ??giving up again, which is really ridiculous."

    Zhang Fei became anxious: "Brother, this is not the time for us to sigh. The three boys of the Yuan family will soon be at war with each other. This great opportunity must not be lost!"

    "Even if brother has compassion in his heart, he still needs to suppress this trace of pity." Guan Yu also advised, "Since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Brother, you"

    "Brothers, please rest assured." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to interrupt Guan Yu, "I understand in my heart."

    The three of them fell into silence for a while. Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked: "How are Yuan Tan and the others preparing?"

    "Yuan Tan has secretly transferred all his own soldiers into the city. There are about three thousand people in total, and they are all well-equipped. On Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's side, the Qingzhou soldiers who arrived encountered a snowstorm.  We can't reach Jizhou, and without foreign aid, the two generals' personal soldiers should be about 5,000. Although the soldiers are inferior, they will not be completely disadvantaged."

    "That's it" Liu Bei nodded in thought, "Let our people stay on guard. As long as both sides make a move, they will obey my orders and act!"

    "I have the order!" Guan and Zhang bowed to accept the order, opened the door and walked out into the wind and snow.

    Liu Bei looked at the two people leaving, and clenched his hands tightly under his cloak: "My time is coming soon, Cao Mengde, are you ready?"

    Xuchang City, Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion.

    "A sneeze! A sneeze!"

    Cao Cao was pacing the central hall with his hands behind his back. He suddenly sneezed several times in succession for no reason. The counselors who stood quietly aside secretly exchanged looks. After all, no one spoke.

    Everyone was summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, and what they saw was Cao Cao, who was silent and pacing back and forth around the central hall.  In the past, even if something big happened, Cao Cao would sit in the hall and receive everyone calmly. But today he was so uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and all the counselors were faintly worried.

    "Everyone, there is news from Hebei this morning. Yuan Shao's three sons are sharpening their swords in Jizhou City. It seems that a battle for the right to inherit the throne is inevitable." Cao Cao finally spoke, "I don't know what you think?"

    After hearing the news, all the counselors breathed a long sigh of relief, and the previous gloomy atmosphere was swept away. Jiang Gan put on a smile, bowed and said: "Congratulations, my lord, it seems that Hebei will be in a state of peace in the near future.  The drum went down."

    All the counselors also congratulated Cao Cao one after another. Only Guo Jia and Xun Yu frowned and looked worried.  After a long time, Xun Yu came out and said: "My lord, although the Yuan family's internal fighting will be of great benefit to us, it will not harm us at all, but"

    Cao Cao shook his head slightly and made a silent gesture secretly. Xun Yu was such a smart man. He immediately understood what Cao Cao meant and did not continue.  Cao Cao stretched out and said with a smile: "I called you here today because I want to share this good news with you."? But to the outside world, please don¡¯t say too much.  "

    "I understand."

    "It's okay, everyone, please disperse." Cao Cao waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave, but Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You and Cheng Yu slowly fell behind the crowd and waited for the others to leave.  In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the four of them turned around and walked back to the central hall, where they saw Cao Cao sitting in the hall and tapping his forehead.  Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "It seems that there are quite a few idiots like Jiang Ziyi. If I stay with them all the time to listen to political affairs, I will start to worry that I will become more and more stupid."

    Xun Yu did not answer Cao Cao's words and said solemnly: "My lord, Yuan Shao's three sons are not worth mentioning. The person we really need to watch out for is Liu Bei. Although Yuan Shao was incompetent, he still knew how to deal with Liu Bei when he was in power.  Being on guard, and with the blessing of the aura of "Fourth Generation and Three Lords", Liu Bei does not dare to make any big moves for the time being." Xun Yu paused, "But now Yuan Shao is about to die, and his three sons are  Blinded by profit, they only focused on killing each other and completely forgot about Liu Bei, who was watching on the sidelines. Liu Bei had been silently enduring it for more than three years. During this time, he had been playing the role of a loyal ally of the Yuan family and had no intention of doing anything.  Any tough measures taken are because he has been waiting, because he knows that opportunities like today will come sooner or later."

    "Yes, Liu Bei will not let go of such an opportunity." Cao Cao frowned and nodded slowly, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said proudly: "But if Liu Bei wants to take this opportunity  Anyone who hinders my plan to capture Hebei will be crushed to pieces on the battlefield."
