    Xuzhou.

    In the hall, Lu Bu was discussing things with everyone, when Chen Gong happened to walk in.

    "Gongtai, why are you driving back all the people who propose marriage to Yuan Shu? Don't you know that this will make me offend Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu said dissatisfied.

    "Fengxian, you are so confused. Yuan Shu is doing this just like Lei Yun conferring you the title of Xuzhou Mu. He wants to tie you to a boat. If you send your daughter there today, then after Yuan Shu's defeat in the future,  The princes of the world will also have reasons to attack us because of this matter. By then, no matter how strong our horses are, we have already lost the hearts of the world, which is not good for us." Chen Gong came to Lu Bu and said.

    "Then wouldn't it be better to just drive away Yuan Shu's people? Why do you have to ask them to come back to welcome the bride after a year?" Lu Bu wondered.

    "Although Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor without permission, he still had an army of 350,000 in his hands. Sun Ce, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and other generals who were good at conquering and fighting, as well as counselors like Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, will win or lose?  It is unknown. If Yuan Shu wins and stabilizes his power, then we will face a situation where Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are attacking from both sides. This is exactly what Lei Yun wants to see." Chen Gong said.

    "Then what do you think we should do now?" Lu Bu asked.

    "Of course we are waiting. Whoever wins and who loses. In my opinion, the only princes in the world who are willing to send troops are Cao Cao and Lei Yun. Liu Biao is because Sun Ce is attacking his general Huang Zu, so it is impossible to send troops. What we have to do now  The best thing is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. We can wait until the battle begins to see whether Yuan Shu will be defeated. If he is defeated, then we will send troops to attack Yuan Shu and seize the city. If Yuan Shu wins, then we will send troops to help him. I think Yuan Shu must be there now.  If he urgently needs someone to help him, then we can send someone to tell him that we can help him, but we are unable to send troops due to lack of food and grass. Please ask him to send 200,000 stones of food and grass and 100,000 gold. Once the money and food arrive,  We will mobilize our troops immediately," Chen Gong said.

    "If Yuan Shu really sends money and food, then do we really want to send troops?" Lu Bu asked.

    "We must send out troops, but not at a fast pace. We must be slow enough that the battle has begun. We can only send troops as far as Sicheng. We will send troops after the battle situation is determined." Chen Gong said.

    "Okay, let's do this. When the time comes, I will personally lead the troops. Zang Ba will be stationed in Xuzhou, and Cao Xing will be stationed in Xiaopei to guard against Cao Cao." The leader said.

    "It's an order," the generals said.

    Yangzhou Shouchun.

    "What? How dare that guy Lu Bu How dare you do this? I will never forgive you! Ji Ling, Zhang Xun! You led an army of 150,000 to attack Xuzhou." Yuan Shu said angrily.

    "Yes!" The two said with cupped hands.

    "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Your Majesty, we are about to fight a war. We must not add any more powerful enemies. If we attack Lu Bu this time, it will do us all harm but no good." Adviser Yan Xiang stepped forward to stop him.

    "Then what do you think we should do? I made Lu Bu's daughter the crown prince's concubine with good intentions, and I have given them enough face. Lu Bu's son didn't thank me, but he dared to drive my people back and pay me twenty  Thousands of grains and fodder. If I don't show him some respect, won't people in the world laugh at me for being an incompetent emperor?" Yuan Shu said angrily.

    "Your Majesty, Lu Bu is just a villain who is greedy for money. What he did is nothing more than a treacherous trick by his adviser Chen Gong. However, after the beginning of spring, Lei Yun's army will come to attack us. Their troops are so powerful.  , Your Majesty should understand that if Your Majesty attacks Xuzhou at this time, then all we have done now will be in vain, and when Leiyun's army attacks, Lu Bu will not only not help me, but will also help Leiyun attack us."  Yan Xiang said.

    "I have more than 500,000 powerful soldiers. How can generals like Sun Ce, Ji Ling, and Zhang Xun be afraid of the hundreds of thousands of people in Lu Bu's little Xuzhou?" Yuan Shu said disdainfully.

    "Your Majesty has millions of soldiers, so of course he will not be afraid of Lu Bu. However, although Lu Bu's soldiers are few, they are strong soldiers. The land of Xuzhou can stop Cao Cao from attacking us directly. Instead, he has to take a detour to fight us.  High and low. If Your Majesty divides his troops to attack Xuzhou at this time, and Cao Cao suddenly sends troops from Yuzhou, then we will fight on two sides. In order for Cao Cao to send troops, Lei Yun gave him 300,000 shi of food and grass and tens of thousands of horses.  Although Cao Cao covets Xuzhou, he covets the food of our Yangzhou even more. If we and Lu Bu start a fight at this time, Cao Cao will not miss this opportunity. He will directly send troops to attack. Your Majesty, I can't bear it.  Then the big plan will be messed up. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Lord of all peoples, and an extraordinary human being. In order to achieve great things, you must endure things that ordinary people cannot endure," Yan Xiang said.

    "Then what should we do now?" Yuan Shu said.

    "Your Majesty, isn't Lu Bu short of food? Then we will give him food. When he waits for the food, he will send troops. However, at most, he can only garrison troops in Sicheng and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. As long as we fight a big battleIf there is a war, he will definitely send troops to help.  By then, even if Lei Yun comes to attack in person, the world is already a foregone conclusion. Lu Bu is already tied to the same boat as us. When attacking us, Lu Bu must also be taken into consideration.  "Yan Xiang said.

    "Well, what the Prime Minister said is very true. It's a pity that Sun Lang is taking my 100,000 troops to attack Jingzhou. Otherwise, I will definitely take Luoyang directly." Yuan Shu said.

    "Your Majesty, there is one thing we have to guard against now. Although Sun Ce is a general under His Majesty's command, he may not have His Majesty in his heart. If an attack comes from behind when our war is in stalemate, we will be in misery." Yang Hong went up.  Said before.

    "No, no, no, what the captain said is wrong. Sun Ce will not send troops because he is attacking Changsha now. And Liu Biao of Jingzhou knows the importance of Changsha. Even if he is defeated by Sun Ce, he will fight hard to capture it.  Even if Sun Ce wants to use his troops to attack from behind, Liu Biao will not let go of this good opportunity to beat the drowned dog," Yan Xiang said.

    "Sun Ce has to be on guard. Let's cut off his supply of food and grass on the grounds that the war is imminent." Yuan Shu thought for a moment and said.

    "Your Majesty, isn't this going to force Sun Ce to rebel against us?" Yuan Huan said.

    "If he dares to rebel against me, we will take away his military power. Don't forget that the soldiers in his hands are still my soldiers. Everything must be obeyed by me! This matter does not need to be discussed further, it is settled." Yuan Shu said

    Jingzhou.

    At this time, the lobby of the Jingzhou government office was already in chaos. Generals such as Cai Hao and Zhang Yun had been urging Liu Biao to send troops to Wancheng.  Advisors Han Song, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Deng Xi, Fu Xun, Liu Xian, Wang Can, Yi Ji and others advised Liu Biao not to act rashly, lest Jingzhou fall into war disaster.

    "My lord, my subordinates think that Lei Yun probably sent troops to Wancheng just because he knew about the clothing order and to prevent us from going north to Luoyang. If we fight with Lei Yun now, he will give us a sign of rebellion.  Charge." Kuai Yue stepped forward and said.

    "What do you literati know? Lei Yun just wants to attack us in Jingzhou now. If Lei Yun knew about the clothing and belt edict, would he still use troops like this? He would have killed the emperor and Dong Cheng and those guys long ago!  He must have made an agreement with Sun Ce, who is under Yuan Shu, to conquer Jingzhou, one man and half." Cai Mao said loudly.

    "My lord, it is absolutely impossible for Lei Yun to have any dealings with a traitor like Yuan Shu by holding the emperor hostage. He hopes that Yuan Shu will die soon. As for his use of troops externally, my subordinates think that he must want to show weakness to  Dong Cheng, so as to wipe out all those who oppose him in the court in one fell swoop." Kuai Liang said.

    "Showing weakness? Is there anyone who shows weakness like this? Doesn't this clearly tell Dong Cheng that he already knows?" Zhang Yun said.

    "Don't you hear the truth and make it false, and the truth is the truth. Lei Yun must have his intention in doing this. Moreover, most of Lei Yun's men are iron cavalry and there is no navy. The Jingzhou navy is invincible in the world. To attack us, he will use  What? That little naval force in Jizhou? We have more than 200,000 naval forces in Jingzhou and tens of thousands of large and small warships. He can't cross the Yangtze River at all." Han Song said.

    "Okay, you don't need to say anything. I have my own plan. Cai Hao, go and mobilize half of the troops from Jiangxia and Changsha and station them in Xinye and Fancheng. Keep an eye on the movements in Wancheng.

    "My lord, Sun Ce is attacking Changsha now! How can we transfer the garrison in Changsha at this time?" Han Song said.

    "I have decided not to say any more. Let's all go down." Liu Biao said impatiently.
