    Xuchang, Yanzhou.

    "Everyone, have you read His Majesty's Belt Order? What do you think we should do now?" Cao Cao asked while sitting in the hall.

    "My lord, this is a good reason for us to capture Luoyang. I think we should follow the imperial edict and raise troops." Cao Ren stepped forward and said.

    "No, we can't move. Not only can't we move, we also have to tell Lei Yun." Xun Yu said.

    "Oh? Why is that?" Cao Cao laughed.

    "Lei Yun is cunning and cannot be unprepared. Seeing how he has transferred all the troops from Luoyang now, we know that he is showing weakness. Dong Cheng will definitely lose this time. Instead of offending Lei Yun, it is better for us to show our kindness to him now.  After we have defeated Yuan Shu and defeated Lu Bu, we will have a showdown with them. It would be unwise for us to offend Lei Yun now," Xun Yu said.

    "Haha, my lord, Xu You thought that we were both obeying the imperial edict and trying to please Lei Yun." Xu You said.

    "Oh? What is Ziyuan's plan?" Cao Cao asked.

    "Dong Cheng's people will definitely come to Jingzhou with a belt edict. Lei Yun's detailed work is spread all over the world. They will definitely know that Liu Biao has been coveting Luoyang for a long time. He will definitely take advantage of this to raise troops to attack Wancheng. Lei Yun will definitely send people to garrison Wancheng.  And we secretly sent people to Luoyang to meet Dong Cheng and told him that we would send troops to Runan to cooperate with Liu Biao in attacking Wancheng. On the other hand, we sent people to inform Lei Yun about the clothing and belt edict and told him that we would station troops in Runan.  , help him resist Liu Biao." Xu You said.

    "That's fine, Xun You, you go to Luoyang yourself." Cao Cao said.

    "My lord, if this happens, we will be disgusted by Lei Yun and the court." Xun Yu said.

    "No, no, no. Wen Ruo's words are wrong. I know Liu Biao too well. At most, he will only strengthen the garrisons in Fancheng and Xinye. He will not attack Luoyang at all. He will only settle down and be his local emperor.  It¡¯s nothing to worry about. Lei Yun also knows us well, so he won¡¯t resent us. Instead, he will give us food and salary to continue stationed in Runan when we are short of food. Our top priority now is Xuzhou, Wenruo, and Chen Gui  Is there any news from Chen Deng and his son?" Cao Cao asked.

    "Chen Deng and his son have won the trust of Lu Bu. Lu Bu has appointed Chen Gui as Prime Minister of Pei, and Chen Deng has also been appointed as chief secretary. However, Lu Bu still mainly trusts Chen Gong. To be on the safe side, they cannot alienate Lu Bu and Chen Deng yet.  The relationship between Chen Gong and Chen Gong." Xun Yu said.

    "Not yet? It's been almost half a year, and they still haven't made any progress at all?" Cao Cao said angrily.

    "My lord, it's not that there is no progress. The sending of troops to attack Yuan Shu this time is a great opportunity." Xun Yu said.

    "oh?"

    "Xuzhou and Yangzhou are dying. Yuan Shu has been in war for many years in Xuzhou. There is also a severe drought. There is not much food. He can only borrow food from Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu loses, Xuzhou will also be in danger. The subordinates expect that Chen Gong will try every means to let Lu Bu ask Yuan Shu for help."  Borrowing food will keep us at a distance from Yuan Shu. And we can let Chen Gui and his son instigate Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to turn against each other in the name of world justice. And we can give the cities that Lu Bu captured to Lu Bu, and let Chen Gui be the lobbyist.  Search for a part of the city from us." Xun Yu said.

    "Exchange a few cities for the entire Xuzhou, okay, that's it." Cao Cao laughed.

    "My lord, if Chen Gong sees through our plan, we will lose all the rice by then." Xu You stepped forward and said.

    "An old saying goes, a great traitor may seem like loyalty, and a great falsehood may seem true. As long as Chen Gong and his son act as they should, there will be nothing wrong. Lu Bu is brave and invincible, but his brains cannot match even a little finger of his lord. How could he?  Will he see through it? Moreover, as far as we know, since Lu Bu took Xuzhou, Chen Gong has become more and more arrogant, and has already won Lu Bu's displeasure. As long as Chen Deng and his son don't plot against Chen Gong behind his back, Lu Bu will sooner or later meet with Chen Gong.  There is a gap between them." Xun Yu said with a smile.

    "How many people from various princes will send troops to attack Yuan Shu?" Cao Cao asked.

    "I'm afraid there are only Leiyun, Sun Ce and us. The other princes are busy with their own affairs, and Leiyun will definitely not send many people, because just transporting grain and grass will make him heartbroken, but Yuan Shu must be destroyed.  Therefore, this time Lei Yun sends out troops, he will definitely attack the elite. Sun Ce, on the other hand, will only send out a few thousand troops at most to build up his momentum. His primary target now is Jingzhou Huangzu. So we are the main force in sending out troops this time, and ours this time  We must fight well so that Lu Bu can help us." Xun Yu said with a smile.

    "How much benefit do we have to give Lu Bu before he sends troops?" Cao Cao asked.

    "My lord, we are worth our weight in gold. We only need one lobbyist to tell Lu Bu that the only one in the world who can compete with Lei Yun is my lord. Chen Gong, Chen Deng, and Chen Gui will also convince Lu Bu."  Xun Yu said.

    "Didn't you say that Chen Gong would not let Lu Bu send troops?" Xu ?? asked.

    "After we win a big victory, Chen Gong will ask Lu Bu to send troops, because if Yuan Shu's main force is raped, then it will be the best time for them to seize territory. No one will give up this good opportunity."  Xun Yu smiled.

    "Wen Ruo is right. Send an order. Cao Hong and Li Dian are the first and second vanguards, leading an army of 20,000 troops to attack Yingshang. Cao Ren is ordered to lead an army of 180,000 troops to stand by in Runan, while Xiahou Dun leads an army of 30,000 troops to the rear.  "Cao Cao ordered.

    "yes!."

    "My lord, is it too early?" Cao Ren asked.

    "It will be too late when Yuan Shu prepares again. Now we have to secure a battleground for the army. After the spring begins, we will have enough food and grass to attack Yuan Shu with Lei Yun's people." Cao Cao laughed.

    "But" Cao Ren wanted to say something else but was stopped by Xun Yu.

    "General, although we are the main force this time, we can't work too hard, so now we have laid down a fortress. After the Leiyun army arrives, we can tell them that in the past few months, we have worked hard to defend this fortress.  The land has been greatly lost, so we can not only sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but also gain a reputation for loyalty." Xun Yu said with a smile.

    ¡°Oh~, I understand, it¡¯s better for the supervisor to think further.¡± Cao Ren said suddenly.

    "Hahaha, go and prepare yourself. Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xu You stay." Cao Cao ordered.

    "Here!"

    Jiujiang, Sun Ce¡¯s camp.

    "What do you think of the clothing and belt edict?" Sun Ce asked.

    "My Lord, Zhang Zhao thought that since it was written by His Majesty himself, it must be correct. Lei Yun is the strongest among the princes in the world. However, no one wants to have such a strong enemy around him. His subordinates thought, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang  Lu and others are determined to raise troops to attack King Qin of Luoyang, so we should obey the emperor's edict and obey God's will to win the people's support." Zhang Zhao stepped forward and said.

    "What does Gong Jin think?" Sun Ce asked.

    "My subordinates thought that they should ignore it and just capture Huang Zu for now. Because, with Lei Yun's ability, it is impossible not to know about the Yidai Zhao. We imagine that since he knew, why did he frequently call out the people in Luoyang?  Army? Why not strengthen armaments? Obviously, he was showing weakness, making Dong Chengzhi think that Luoyang had few soldiers, which was the best time for them to take action. And Cao Cao was the most traitorous hero in the world, so it was impossible for him to not understand Lei Yun's strength. I guess  , he will definitely stand still. And Liu Zhan is now trying to prevent us from attacking Changsha. Unless Lei Yun hits him first, it is impossible to send troops to Luoyang. As for Zhang Lu, he is even more frightened by Lei Yun and is even less likely to send troops. Even if Liu Zhang  We want to send troops, but Luoyang must pass through Hanzhong. Will Zhang Lu let Liu Zhang's people enter Hanzhong?" Zhou Yu said.

    At this time, a soldier ran in and reported: "Master, a secret report from Jingzhou."

    Sun Ce laughed happily after receiving the secret report and reading it.

    "My lord, why are you so happy?" Huang Gai asked.

    "The news came from Jingzhou that Lei Yun suddenly strengthened the defense of Wancheng and sent Zhang Xiu to capture the four surrounding cities and Quewei Slope of Wancheng. Liu Biao was shocked and transferred half of the garrison from Jiangxia and Changsha to garrison in Xinye  ." Sun Ce smiled.

    "My lord, it seems I was right. Lei Yun has indeed known about the Yidai Zhao. He has only one purpose in sending troops to Wancheng, and that is to guard against Liu Biao. However, the stupid Liu Biao sent Changsha and Jiangxia to Changsha because of fear of Lei Yun.  We have mobilized half of the defenders, which also gives us a good opportunity, and now we can take Changsha." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

    "Okay, everyone, listen to the order!" Sun Ce said as he slapped the case.

    "exist!!"

    "Cheng Pu and Lu Meng are the vanguard, leading 20,000 troops to attack Baling. Huang Gai and Han Dang lead 8,000 troops to block Jiangxia's reinforcements. The rest of the generals will follow me to attack Changsha and kill Huang Zu!" Sun Ce ordered.

    ¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±
