"What did you say? Say it again, Yan Liang is dead?!"

Yuan Shao didn't believe what the visitor said, with a shocked and suspicious expression on his face.

"General, General Yan Liang led his troops out of the city to fight with Liu Bei. He was killed by Guan Yu. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost. Yuan Qingzhou held on to the city and asked the general to rush to help! If it is too late, I am afraid that Pingyuan City will not be able to defend it.

!"

The person Yuan Tan sent to ask for help repeated what he had just said.

"How is it possible?! General Yan Liang is a general who commands the army. He usually does not fight in person. How could he be killed by Guan Yu? Please tell me the situation in detail."

Yuan Shao still doesn't believe it, but this is someone sent by Yuan Tan, how could he tell lies?

He raised his heart, and at this moment he very much hoped that what the visitor would say next was completely different from what he had just said. He even hoped that the visitor was someone sent by Liu Bei to spread false news.

However, the person who came was someone who had followed him before and was sent to Qingzhou to follow Yuan Tan.

The visitor stood on the city with Yuan Tan and saw Guan Yu beheading Yan Liang with his own eyes. He told Yuan Shao and others about the situation in detail.

"General, Liu Bei is now under Chen Bing's city. He won such a great victory and killed General Yan. His power is very strong. Although Yuan Qingzhou holds the city and holds fast, the soldiers in the city are afraid, and... and..."

The visitor hesitated and did not continue.

"And what? Say it quickly."

Yuan Shao said calmly.

At this moment, he had believed Yan Liang's death and felt very shocked. He was also worried about the safety of Yuan Tan and Pingyuan, but he did not feel sad about Yan Liang's death.

Although Yan Liang is the number one general under his command, he is only a general after all, and is only used to kill the enemy.

"Moreover... the people in the city seem to have their hearts set on Liu Bei, and their hearts are floating. They are afraid that they will cause chaos in the city and join forces with Liu Bei."

Snap!!!

Yuan Shao banged the table and cursed angrily: "Liu Bei deserves to die! I shouldn't have agreed to let him take over Xuzhou, let alone stay in Qingzhou. I thought he would be satisfied with Donglai and Beihai, but I didn't expect him to want to

What we got was the entire Qingzhou!"

"Ming Gong is wrong!" Bijia Tian Feng said immediately, "Liu Bei wants not only Qingzhou, but also Jizhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou. In fact, what he wants is the whole world. This is

A very ambitious man! In the past, I advised Duke Ming to kill this man, but keeping him alive today must have become a big problem!"

Yuan Shao's already gloomy face became even gloomier.

He glanced at Tian Feng coldly, feeling regretful in his heart. He regretted why he had not killed Liu Bei earlier, otherwise he would not have been in trouble today, let alone lose one of his fierce generals.

However, it is not certain whether Yan Liang is a strong general.

"What Tian Biejia means is that Liu Bei also wants to seize the general's Jizhou?" Guo Tu asked with a sneer.

"Isn't it?"

Tian Feng glanced at Guo Tu dissatisfied and asked.

"Liu Bei was once the governor of Yuzhou and the shepherd of Xuzhou. A person who has been in charge of a state like this is naturally not satisfied with guarding one or two counties. It is common sense that he wants to capture Qingzhou. However, let's not talk about whether he can capture Qingzhou.

Even if he captures Qingzhou, does Tian Biejia think that with Liu Bei's power, he can take away Jizhou where a general is in charge?"

"If Liu Bei is really like this, then he has swallowed his heart and is looking for death! Moreover, Liu Bei was good at disguising before, making the general mistakenly think that he really cares about the people and just wants to settle down in a county. Now. Now

His true colors were exposed, and the general took this opportunity to kill him, so that there would be no more criticism in the world."

"Hahaha, according to your opinion, do you think Liu Bei only wants to capture Qingzhou and has no intention of Jizhou?"

Tian Feng sneered a few times, stared at Guo Tu and asked.

"For Jizhou, it doesn't matter whether he does it intentionally or unintentionally. What matters is whether he is still alive!" Guo Tu turned to Yuan Shao and said, "Ming Gong, Gongsun Zan does not have many soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to threaten Yecheng. We might as well leave a few people behind."

Thousands of soldiers and horses are here to block it, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses rush to the plains to annihilate Liu Bei in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles forever!"

After Gongsun Zan led 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave Yijing and go south, he successively captured the three cities of Moxian, Gaoyang and Wuyuan in the Hejian Kingdom.

Gongsun Zan is now stationed in the city, while Yuan Shao's troops are camped outside the city.

Yuan Shao considered what Guo Tu said.

Indeed, as he said, Gongsun Zan only had 10,000 troops. Even if he did not stop him, the other party would only be able to seize Hejian Kingdom and Bohai County, and it would be impossible to attack Yecheng.

After all, he had left 20,000 troops to guard Yecheng, while Gongsun Zan only had 10,000 troops. If he went to Yecheng, he would probably be attacked by his own troops from both inside and outside.

At present, Gongsun Zan is not a big threat to him.

On the other hand, Liu Bei has many powerful generals under his command and is popular among the people. If he is allowed to capture Qingzhou, even if he cannot take away his own Jizhou, it will definitely be a big problem in the future.

No matter what, Liu Bei must be killed!

Yuan Shao agreed with Guo Tu's ideas, but he also wanted to hear the opinions of his advisers.

"Yuan Tu, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao asked Feng Ji.

Feng Ji did not participate in the debate between Tian Feng and Guo Tu just now, but was already thinking about countermeasures secretly.

At this time, he saw Yuan Shao asking a question. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "Ming Gong, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are our current enemies. Relatively speaking, Liu Bei seems to be a greater threat to Jizhou. He is good at using people and good at bribing people's hearts."

, not only has he been used by powerful generals, but he has also made the people of Qingzhou yearn for him."

"If we cannot rescue in time, I am afraid that Yuan Qingzhou will be able to defend Pingyuan City. If Pingyuan is destroyed, Qingzhou will be in Liu Bei's hands. At that time, he and Gongsun Zan will join forces, and Jizhou will be in danger! Ji thinks that we should destroy Liu Bei first.

, and later destroyed Gongsun Zan, as Gongze said, leaving 10,000 troops and horses to stop Gongsun Zan, the general personally led 20,000 troops and horses to aid the plains and destroy Liu Bei!"

"Chen also thinks it should be like this." Xun Chen said immediately.

Xin Ping nodded and agreed with Guo Tu and Feng Ji’s proposal.

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng again and asked with a sneer: "Tian Biejia, you just said that Liu Bei wants to seize my Jizhou, do we want to destroy him first now?"

Although Tian Feng has always had disagreements with the people of the Yingchuan faction, what Guo Tu said now was that he wanted to destroy Liu Bei first. This was what he had in mind, and it was impossible to oppose him.

"Of course Liu Bei should ask for it first," Tian Feng replied loudly.

Yuan Shao was satisfied. It seemed that all his counselors agreed that he should deal with Liu Bei first and then come back to deal with Gongsun Zan.

Although Gongsun Zan has a lot of cavalry in his hands, if the soldiers and horses he left behind guard the camp without fighting, Gongsun Zan can't do anything.

In less than a month, I can kill Liu Bei and save Qingzhou from trouble.

If Gongsun Zan returns to attack at that time, even if Gongsun Zan escapes back to Yijing and hides, he will find him out and kill him.

At this time, Yuan Shao seemed to have forgotten Yan Liang's death. Yan Liang's death was as insignificant as the death of a soldier.

Yuan Shao inspected the people in the tent again, and he stayed in Yecheng while he was in charge. However, there was still one person sitting in the last seat, twirling his short beard and bowing his head in thought.

This person is none other than Xu You.
