    But he said that after receiving the order, Sun Guan rushed to Mount Tai to persuade Zang Ba. Zang Ba and Sun Guan came from Mount Tai together and had a life-long friendship. After hearing this, they were greatly moved.  Now Tao Qian has defected to Ma Chao. As Tao Qian's ally, he did not intervene when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou. This move not only offended Tao Qian, but also lost the hearts of the people of Xuzhou.  And Ma Chao had deployed heavy troops in Xuzhou. He did not dare to compete with him, and he did not want to interfere in the decisive battle between the two princes. At this time, joining Lu Bu was undoubtedly an excellent choice.  After careful consideration, Zang Ba quickly agreed to the matter, and immediately mobilized troops and horses to prepare to send troops from Mount Tai to attack Cao Cao, echoing Lu Bu.  On the other hand, Ma Chao was furious after receiving Lu Bu's blackmail letter. Lu Bu's move was tantamount to taking advantage of the situation. He wanted to take advantage of the decisive battle between the two princes to strengthen himself and dominate one side. His intentions were extremely sinister.  But this is not the time to deal with Lu Bu. Yanzhou is close to Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Once troops are sent to attack Lu Bu, Yuan Shao will never stand idly by. This will most likely force Lu Bu to Yuan Shao's camp, and will also lead to the main battlefield.  In Yanzhou, all the previous arrangements turned into running water.  After thinking about it, Ma Chao could only come up with one trick: if he didn't deal with Lu Bu now, he couldn't give him a grain of grain or a war horse, and he didn't have the guts to attack Qin Yi and Guo Jia.  After sending away the messenger, Ma Chao then sent an order to Ma Xiu, asking him to deploy troops to station in the Baima, Yanjin, and Wuchao areas. The purpose was to prevent and deter Lu Bu so that he would not dare to act rashly.  In October 1933, the autumn harvest in the Central Plains was completed. Although the disaster was severe, it was not so bad that there was no harvest. People everywhere harvested a small amount of grain.  You won't go hungry in a short time.  Yuan Shao¡¯s sphere of influence was only affected by the disaster in southern Yuzhou and a small part of Yangzhou, and the powerful locals within the two states provided strong assistance.  Food and grass are guaranteed without worries.  In the middle of the year, Yuan Shao joined forces with Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Xun, Yan Baihu and other ten princes to issue a petition for Ma Chao in Shouchun. The full text is as follows:  He was called the Prince Consort and achieved a lot of success in a few years!  However, since the late emperor returned to the throne and Dong's thieves started to cause chaos, Ma Chao relied on his military power to play political tricks.  Seize the capital, control the government, frame the loyal, shelter the rebellious, insult the mother of the country, oppress the young king, and harbor treason.  Always have a disobedient heart!  Woohoo!  A king without authority is not enough to rule the country, and a king without ritual is not enough to establish a country.  Ma Chao coerced the emperor to order the princes, and his rebellious intentions were known to the world!  The Han Dynasty was weak, with inconsistent government orders, local separatism, and people in ruins.  It¡¯s all the fault of the horse¡¯s superiority!  As a minister of the Han Dynasty, I should eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor. Today, I unite all the loyal Han people in the world to fight against the national calamity and raise a million soldiers to Luoyang.  Fight against the rebels and clear the emperor's side.  Xing Han Dynasty.  Just like the law!  With the announcement of the appeal for horses, the world was completely shocked. Everyone knew that an unprecedented war in the Central Plains was about to begin.  In order to expand his influence, Yuan Shao also ordered thousands of copies of the memorandum to be posted in Bingzhou, Jizhou, and even important towns in the Sili area in order to win over local officials and achieve the purpose of demagogueing people.  Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao sent troops in four directions and sent General Yan Liang to lead 100,000 troops to attack Pengcheng, trying to capture Xuzhou and Qingzhou where the people were unstable.  Wen Chou and Zhu Ling were sent to lead an army of 200,000 to Nanyang, Jingzhou, with the purpose of completely eradicating Zhang Xiu and shutting down Liu Biao.  He sent Sun Jian to send 100,000 troops to attack Jiangxia and go straight to Xiangyang.  Finally, they sent generals Qu Yi and Chunyu Qiong with 200,000 troops to Yingchuan in an attempt to drive away Lu Bu, invaded Jizhou, and trapped the troops at Sishui Pass.  After receiving the current report, Ma Chao hurriedly recruited various civil servants and generals to discuss countermeasures. He has been doing well in these years. As long as he overcomes the current difficulties and defeats Yuan Shao, he can establish the general trend of the world in one fell swoop. For this reason, he has to be cautious.  At this time, Pang De and others who had sent troops to Guanzhong all returned to Luoyang. Tian Feng, Jushou, Xun You, Fazheng, Xu Shu and other counselors gathered together.  After analyzing the current situation, Ma Chao said solemnly: "Yuan Shao is coming with great force, with an army of nearly 600,000, and his orders are unified. It is by no means comparable to the past when the princes attacked Dong. Although we are not afraid of Yuan Shao, we cannot be any less afraid of him.  You are so lazy! How do you think we should retreat from the enemy?" Tian Feng clasped his fists and said, "Yuan Shao is powerful, but most of them are just a mob. Even if he has millions, he can't defeat the lord's 300,000 elite soldiers. If the lord fights against Yuan Shao with all his strength, retreat!  It's not difficult, but I'm afraid that the rear will be empty by then. Once Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu attack, Jizhou will be in danger. They are both wolves and need to be eliminated as soon as possible!  Yan Neiji, whose reputation is second only to his lord, is coming to attack now. What he is fighting for is just status! The lord is in urgent need of killing Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, so he temporarily adopts a defensive strategy against Yuan Shaoke and sends his trusted generals to guard various passes.  . It is difficult for Yuan Shao to attack for a long time, and the supply line is long. The mob under his command will definitely plunder the people. When he loses the support of the people, the Lord will also pacify Youzhou, and then he will turn around and give him a head-on attack. " Ma Chao nodded and said:  "What you said is very much what I like! Huang Zhong and Xu Huang are in charge of Xuzhou, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, is responsible for appeasing the people and arranging food and grass matters, blocking Yan?No problem!  Wen Chou, Zhu Ling, Sun Jian, Liu Xun, Yan Baihu and others attacked Jingzhou with all their strength. Although the situation was chaotic, it was not out of control. Only Qu Yi and Chunyu Qiong's troops were more difficult!  If Lu Bu makes peace with Yuan Shao and invades Jizhou together with Cao Cao, Qu Yi and others, the situation will be beyond our control.  " Everyone also thought about this problem. Xun You frowned and said: "As far as I know, before Yuan Shao sent troops, he sent his envoy Yang Hong to see Lu Bu, intending to ask Lu Bu's daughter to be his daughter-in-law.  This move won the approval of Chen Gong and others, but Lu Bu was hesitant!  If these two people get together, it will be extremely detrimental to the Lord's cause!  " Ma Chao frowned, feeling extremely unhappy. Yuan Shao acted very quickly. The Lu family's little lolita had just grown up. Once she entered the Yuan family, Lu Bu, this stray dog, could be considered as having found his owner. From a long-term perspective,  , it will only harm Yuan Shao, because Lu Bu is a dog that specializes in biting his master. "I wonder if Gongda has a clever plan!  It would be best for the two to turn against each other, just like Lu Bu and Cao Cao!  After thinking about it, Ma Chao still had to ask Xun You.  Lu Bu has always been ambitious and is definitely not someone who wants to be inferior to others. How can Cao Cao and Yuan Shao be the same?  My lord, have you ever thought about what these princes, big and small, need?  " Ma Chao pondered for a while and said: "In troubled times, who doesn't want to seek the ninth-five position, and so does I, Ma Chao!  " " Exactly!  Xun You said: "The Han Dynasty has long been in decline, and it will be destroyed sooner or later!"  The reason why all the princes in the world united to attack the lord was because the lord's family was so powerful that he used the emperor to control the princes and became the target of public criticism!  If we go against the grain at this time and completely destroy the Han Dynasty, can all the princes still be so united?  Lord, do you still remember what the princes did after they challenged Dong?  " "Eniper each other and expand the territory!  " "Of course!  Xun You said: "Although the Han Dynasty has declined, as long as it exists for one day, it will be like a knife hanging over the heads of the princes. Everyone is worried about the toughness and strength of the lord. No one except Liu Yan of Western Shu dares to do so."  Be king and emperor!  In this case, why don't the lord completely dissolve the court and confer kings and dukes on all the princes in the name of the emperor. This will deepen the conflicts among the princes, and Yuan Shao's millions of troops will return without success!  " Ma Chao was very moved when he heard this. This is a dangerous move. If all the princes in the world are loyal to the Han Dynasty, they will only work harder to attack him. If they are selfish, they will never use their military, material and financial resources.  It was wasted on him. Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu Shu and others were all surprised when they heard this. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, they couldn't help but secretly praise Xun You's clever plan and couldn't help but sigh: "This is so.  The plan is very clever and can achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.  If the Lord follows this plan, he will achieve three goals with one stone!  How wonderful!  Ma Chao asked with great interest: "What do you mean by killing three birds with one stone? Please give me a try!"  " Fazhengdao: "First, it can divide and disintegrate various princes and deepen the conflicts between them. It will be even more difficult to unite them!  Secondly, it paves the way for the Lord to proclaim himself emperor in the future. Now all the princes in Guandong can force Liu Xie to abdicate in the name of the palace, and divide the world among the princes, and the world will repeat the Warring States Period!  Thirdly, it can solve the urgent need. The princes from all walks of life have been allocated the throne and land. No matter whether they buy it or not, they will never fight against the master with all their strength!  In this way, the lord will have enough time to deal with Gongsun Zan, and there is no need to worry about who Lu Bu favors, and Yuan Shao's coalition will break up unhappy.  " Ma Chao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Fazheng is right. If this is true, the effect of two peaches killing three people can indeed be achieved, and the world will only become more chaotic and the trend will be more difficult to determine. Xu Shu said: "The words of filial piety only speak of the three benefits.  But he didn¡¯t say a single harm!  I have one thing to say, please lord think carefully before making a decision!  Ma Chao said: "If Yuan Zhi has anything to say, just say it!"  Xu Shu said: "Since ancient times, there have been divisions between monarchs and ministers. The Han Dynasty is weak, the emperor is still there, and the lord was established by the late emperor's edict. It has only been less than five years since he succeeded to the throne. There is no big fault in itself!"  The Lord is highly valued by the late emperor, as a consort and a minister of Tuogu!  In the past few years, the lord has implemented benevolent policies in the local area, tried his best to suppress the powerful, recovered large tracts of annexed land, and accommodated and resettled refugees. The people have benefited a lot. Various measures have won the hearts of the people in the northern land!  However, if the lord were to abolish the establishment at this time, although there would not be much hindrance, it would inevitably leave an eternal reputation of ungratefulness. In this way, wouldn¡¯t the lord ruin his previous good reputation and reputation?  " Ma Chao was convinced when he heard this. He had just thought of this. Although the old Liu family existed in name only, it must not die at the hands of Ma Chao, otherwise he would be reviled. Besides, the court now has many uses, and it is not just a name.  The time for the king to become emperor (To be continued.)
