    "Bang!" There was a loud noise, and a thick bookcase flew up, hit the wall, and bounced back.  The notebooks and pens and ink on the desk flew everywhere, and the originally neat study room was in a mess.  A pool of ink splashed on Guo Tu's silver mask, flowing down the delicate mask and dripping on his new moon-white clothes.  But he didn't dare to move or even take a breath.  The face under the silver mask twitched, and it stung even more than when it was burned.  "Why is this happening?" Yuan Shao roared loudly, panting like an ox.  "I am the one to whom destiny belongs, I am the one to whom destiny belongs." Guo Tu remained motionless.  "Xun Yu! Xun Yu!" Yuan Shao suddenly remembered something, turned his head and shouted sternly: "Here comes someone!" Zhang He walked in, cupping his fists and saluting.  "Alliance leader." "Jun Yi, go cut off Xun Chen's head and sacrifice it to the flag! I want to fight Liu Bian to the death." Zhang He was confused and doubted his ears.  If he wants to fight Liu Bian to the death, is it necessary to send troops to attack the mountains?  "Go quickly!" Yuan Shao was furious, his face turned red and his voice became hoarse.  "No, Alliance Leader!" Guo Tu was shocked and quickly dissuaded him.  He waved at Zhang He repeatedly, indicating that Zhang He should go out and guard first and not let anyone in.  Zhang He understood and quickly turned around and walked out. He ordered people to strengthen their defenses and no one was allowed to enter or leave without the permission of the leader of the alliance.  After everything was arranged, Zhang He felt a little uneasy.  He knew Yuan Shao's temper very well, and he would not get so angry regardless of his demeanor unless he encountered a major setback.  Is it because he wants to have a decisive battle with the imperial court?  When I think of this.  Zhang He's mood was a little complicated.  After fighting with Xi Zhicai, he was a blessing in disguise and realized his fate.  He became the strongest general under Yuan Shao's command, surpassing Yan Liang who won Yuan Shao's trust.  In the Battle of Yishui, it was he who blocked Gongsun Zan and turned the tide of the battle.  Although Yuan Shao had doubts about the people of Hebei, he still regarded him as a confidant, let him command the guard camp, and rewarded him with a guidance map.  If we go into battle again.  Zhang He is very likely to become a general alongside Yan Liang, but.  Zhang He knew very well that in terms of personal strength, he might be able to dominate under Yuan Shao, but he was not truly powerful.  There are many powerful generals in the imperial court who have broken through the enemy's territory.  Even Cao Cao has people like Dian Wei and Xu Chu who understand fate under his command. Once faced with him, he has no advantage at all.  Why does Yuan Shao claim to have destiny in him, but there are not many people around him who understand his destiny?  In contrast, there are people around Liu Bian who realize their fate and break through the situation. There are even people around Cao Cao who realize their fate.  Is this because destiny favors virtue rather than strength?  Thinking of Yuan Shao's anger and the decisive battle he blurted out, Zhang He felt uneasy.  Inside the house, Guo Tu was admonishing him earnestly.  Yuan Shao was furious and hated Xun Yu.  He was angry with Xun Chen and wanted to kill Xun Chen to sacrifice his flag.  Guo Tu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.  It is true that Xun Chen and Xun Yu were brothers, but if Xun Chen was killed without any hesitation because of Xun Yu.  It will only be counterproductive.  There are too many families like the Xun family who are in different camps, and the same is true for his Guo family.  Yuan Shao killed Xun Chen today because of Xun Yu, and tomorrow he might kill Guo Tu because of Guo Jia.  It won't be long before Yuan Shao becomes alone and will die without Liu Bian fighting him.  Guo Tu cited scriptures.  With great analysis, Yuan Shao was finally persuaded.  Yuan Shao sat down on the couch.  Covering his face, he burst into tears.  He didn't understand why he ended up in this situation. He was originally so high-spirited that when he raised his voice and the world responded, the Yuan family's centuries-old plan could finally become a reality in his hands, but in the blink of an eye, everyone betrayed their relatives and abandoned them. Even Xun Yu betrayed the Confucian sect. He wanted to kill him.  Xun Chen could not even give a warning.  It wasn¡¯t until this moment that he truly realized that the intricate power of the family meant that he could not do whatever he wanted.  He thought of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and suddenly realized Liu Xiu's helplessness.  Even if I succeed and establish the Yuan family, I will probably make the same mistakes as the Han Dynasty.  Yuan Shao suddenly felt weak, like a beetle. He always thought that he was strong and invincible. He rushed left and right, but he ran into walls everywhere. Only then did he realize that he had hit the south wall, surrounded by spider webs that could not be broken. There was a  An ugly big spider was waiting for him to fall into a trap, and there were countless fleas and lice stuck on his body, sucking blood greedily.  "Gongze, what should I do?" Yuan Shao lowered his head and asked feebly.  "Alliance leader, Liu Bian is tyrannical and invincible. Jizhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides and is not a place for a long-term battle. The current plan is not to go south." "Going south?" Yuan Shao was silent for a long time: "Are you talking about Jiangnan?  " Guo Tu was sweating just now because he was trying to persuade Yuan Shao, but he couldn't take off his mask to wipe it off.  Sweat slid on his skin, and his face itched, making him twitch involuntarily, looking a little nervous.  "Liu Bian has captured the grassland and has tens of thousands of cavalry at his disposal. Our army has no?The source of war horses and cavalry are insufficient, so we can only retreat across the river, take advantage of the natural dangers of the river, and guard the mountainous land of Wuhui, so that the power of the war horses cannot be displayed. Or we can conquer half of the world by crossing the river.  "Half the world?"  "Yuan Shao pondered: "In this way, Hebei will be surrendered. Wouldn't the scholar-bureaucrats in Hebei be disappointed?  " "Alliance leader, Hebei'er may have already become disillusioned with the alliance leader.  After Shen Pei returned from the grassland, he stayed at home, but there were always guests. God knows what he did on the grassland.  Maybe" Yuan Shao suddenly turned his head with a fierce look in his eyes. Guo Tu was startled and did not dare to say any more. However, he knew Yuan Shao's thoughts very well, otherwise he would not have said such a thing. Shen Pei and Wen Chou sneaked into the grassland  The two hundred elite cavalry failed to kill Liu Bian, but more than half of them were lost. The strange thing was that Shen Pei and Wen Chou came back intact, and after their return,  Shen Pei stayed behind closed doors. Although Wen Chou did not resign from the army, he drank day and night and became a useless person. What exactly did they encounter on the grassland? It is said that they were defeated by Liu Bian alone.  It didn't sound like it was true that Bai Jingqi was defeated by one person. Yuan Shao had always had doubts, but he had no way of asking, and Guo Tu's mention of this matter at this time was nothing more than a reminder.  Yuan Shao said: Hebei people are not as loyal as he thought. Maybe they have reached an agreement with Liu Bian. However, Guo Tu said that retreating to the south of the Yangtze River is unrealistic. Hebei people are his foundation. If he leaves Jizhou,  The people of Hebei may not be willing to follow him to leave his hometown and settle in the backward and humid Jiangnan. Without the support of the people of Hebei, he will not be as strong as Yuan Shu, and he will not even be able to defeat Cao Cao who blocks his retreat. I am afraid that the only way to defeat Yuan Shu is to fight with him first.  United, use Shandong's manpower and material advantages to deal with Liu Bian, and then see what happens. "Send a letter to the highway, asking him to come closer to me, join forces, and fight to the death with Liu Bian."  "Yuan Shao stood up, clenched his hands, and said: "Let him be careful about Cao Cao. This eunuch and ugly man thinks he is a dragon. I'm afraid he has had an affair with Liu Bian for a long time.  If he dares to be half-hearted, I will deal with him.  He looked at Guo Tu again and said in a deep voice: "Summon the generals immediately to discuss matters. Don't let rumors spread and disrupt the morale of our army."  There are many school officials, and if anyone is found to be up to no good, they will be arrested immediately.  " "Here.  "Guo Tu quickly agreed.  In Zhuolong Garden, Liu Bian walked slowly along the water. Yang Biao was half a step behind, followed by a young official, holding a large stack of account books in his hand. Yang Biao kept coming from time to time.  He picked up an account book, turned to a certain page, and reported a series of figures to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, it is indeed natural to send troops to Shandong to pacify the world.  However, this matter cannot be rushed, haste makes waste.  " Liu Bian walked down from the pavilion, sat down in front of the railing, and pointed to the stone railing opposite. "Mr. Yang, please sit down too.  Then he said to the official of the Situ Mansion: "Put down the account book and hold the strange one."  " The subordinate glanced at Yang Biao timidly. Yang Biao said angrily: "Your Majesty asks you to put it down, so just put it down. Why are you hesitating?  " The subordinate officer blushed, and quickly placed the account book next to Yang Biao, bowed, and retreated. Liu Bian joked: "Mr. Yang has been too tired these two days and is very angry.  " Yang Biao smiled awkwardly: "Because of His Majesty's expedition, I am indeed a little tired these days and a little angry.  However, these young people are also irritating. I heard that His Majesty recruited virtuous people to come to Beijing to discuss political affairs. They all don't know the heights of the sky and want to make a big splash, and don't even pay attention to their own errands.  I have to do a lot of things by myself, which is really overwhelming.  " Liu Bian nodded sympathetically. "Yes, it is good to have enthusiasm, but it cannot delay your own work.  However, the officials in the Situ Mansion are all young talents favored by Duke Yang. It is a good thing that they have such enthusiasm.  " "Alas -" Yang Biao sighed: "It's indeed a good thing, but" He hesitated. He didn't know how to say it. To be honest, he had some complaints about Liu Bian. Shandong fell, and the country  His financial resources were already stretched thin, and Liu Bian had to do two major things at the same time. It was too much pressure for him as a Situ. Thousands of virtuous people from all over the country were recruited to come to the capital. The expenses along the way and the food and accommodation after entering the capital were all.  Spend money? Liu Bian has to raise an army and spend a lot of military expenses. Where does this money come from? Yang Biao came to Liu Bian today for this matter. Many people may have been sent out.  They are already on the way. It is obviously not appropriate to let them go back. However, the army is not in a hurry. It can wait until the Xianliang Conference is over and the autumn harvest has almost arrived. It is a good time to go out.  Liu Bian neither affirmed nor denied.??Just listen quietly.  Yang Biao knew that he was still waiting for news from Chang'an, and hoped that Yang Xiu and Liu Ba could allocate some grain and tax from Chang'an to solve the problem.  However, Yang Biao knew that this possibility was slim. Chang'an had been preparing for the war in Yizhou and had no savings.  Shi A walked over quickly, followed by a dusty knight.  "Your Majesty, a messenger has come from Chang'an." The knight walked up to Liu Bian, knelt down on one knee, and presented a memorial.  Liu Bian took it, glanced at it, and gradually raised his eyebrows.  "Mr. Yang, it seems that the war in Shandong must be slowed down. There is an emergency in Yizhou. I want to take Yizhou first." Yang Biao was overjoyed: "What emergency?" "Liu Yan is seriously ill and is about to die.  "b
