Although Lu Bu's entry into Yanzhou was planned by Ju Shou, to Chen Palace and Zhang Miao, it seemed like an accident.

After all, Jushou would not tell the opponent all his trump cards.

After receiving Xue Lan's invitation, Lu Bu went to Chenliu County.

At this time, Lu Bu already had the intention to seize Yanzhou, but he was not a fool. Although Xue Lan said it nicely, he did not understand the situation in Yanzhou.

If what Xue Lan said is false, and all the officials and soldiers in Yanzhou follow Cao Cao, wouldn't he be seeking death if he went there rashly?

By going to Chenliu County, you can observe closely and distinguish whether Xue Lan's words are true or false.

Moreover, Lu Bu's reason for going to Chenliu County is also very good. Yingchuan County borders Chenliu County and is considered a neighbor. And Lu Bu wants to run Yingchuan, and there are not many good relations with them. Naturally, he needs to win over Zhang Miao, otherwise he will be the enemy of the whole world.

I'm afraid Yingchuan won't be able to stay any longer.

Going southeast along the chasm from Guangwu City, Lu Bu quickly arrived at Chenliu.

In the past, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao were also considered enemies, but they had never actually met. Today, Lu Bu came and lowered his profile, so that the guests on both sides enjoyed themselves.

At this time, Zhang Chao suddenly discovered that if they wanted to rebel against Cao Cao, their biggest shortcoming was the military. Neither Zhang Miao nor Chen Gong were talented commanders.

Although Zhang Miao has many supporters, they may not be able to defeat Cao Cao if they fight together.

And Lu Bu is a powerful general in the world. If he has his help, the chance of winning will naturally be greatly increased.

So Zhang Chao took the opportunity to persuade Lu Bu to join them in taking over Yanzhou. After all, Yingchuan had experienced many wars and was remote and restless, so how could it compare to Yanzhou?

Lu Bu met Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Xu Si, Wang Kai and other important officials in Yanzhou, and finally believed Xue Lan's words.

Zhang Chao's wooing was exactly what Lu Bu wanted. He pretended to shirk it at first, but seeing that everyone was eager, he expressed his willingness to work with them to "drive out Cao Cao and support Zhang Miao as the governor of Yanzhou."

At this point, Yanzhou's rebel group has been formed.

Chen Gong originally wanted to assist Zhang Miao, but when he saw Lu Bu, he realized that although Zhang Miao was famous, he was not a hero. He was not someone who could stabilize Yanzhou.

Although Lu Bu was poor, he was brave and capable of fighting. In addition, he was from a humble background. Even if he became the leader of a state, he could only rely on the rich families of Yanzhou. He was the best choice to protect Yanzhou.

So Chen Gong openly supported Zhang Miao, but secretly supported Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu entered Yanzhou, he lacked trustworthy people. Seeing that Chen Gong showed favor to him, he promised Chen Gong. When he became the governor, he would make Chen Gong the chief official and take charge of the state affairs.

The two reached a consensus in private to exclude Zhang Miao from the center of power.

In order to jointly drive away Cao Cao, everyone swore an oath and formed an alliance.

After that, Chen Gong took the initiative to contact Jushu and asked Jizhou to send troops to help. In Chen Gong's view, although they were strong, Cao Cao had tens of thousands of troops, so he wanted to tie Yuan Shao to Yanzhou's chariot to increase the possibility of success.

Jushu plotted against him, and he plotted against Jusuke.

Jushou quickly replied that as long as Yanzhou rebelled, Jizhou would definitely send troops.

This made Chen Gong very happy. After all, Yanzhou plus Jizhou might not be able to fight even if they faced Cao Ang.

However, Chen Gong was too happy too early. If he knew that Yuan Shao had no intention of sending troops at all, but secretly transferred the main force to Changshan State in preparation for marching westward to Bingzhou, he would probably not be able to laugh.

In addition to Yuan Shao, Chen Gong also contacted Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, and promised him that if he captured Yanzhou in one day, he would be rewarded with Jiyin County.

Although Guo Gong is known as the governor of Yuzhou and has tens of thousands of troops, he has no territory and has to stay in the northern part of Yingchuan. If he can take over Jiyin County, he will have a place to stay.

So Guo Gong agreed to Chen Gong's invitation.

Chen Gong has contacted all the forces, and everything is ready. All he needs is east wind.

He suggested that Zhang Miao and Lu Bu could disguise themselves as reinforcements and attack Juancheng by surprise. If they could control Cao Cao's family, the matter would be more than half done.

When the time comes, there will be crowds from all over the country, and even if Cao Cao comes back, there will be nothing they can do.

At this time, Chen Gong had become the liaison between all forces, mediating and relying on all parties. Zhang Miao and Lu Bu could be said to obey his words.

So Zhang Miao sent his subordinate Liu Yi to Juancheng to report to Xun Yu, "Lü Bu went south from Jizhou and wanted to defect to Cao Shijun and asked for food."

In private, Lu Bu was ordered to lead Chen Liubing and rush all the way to Juancheng under the banner of reinforcements.

Originally, Zhang Miao was prepared to lead the army himself, but Chen Gong turned to Lü Bu and suggested that Zhang Miao hand over the army to Lü Bu. After all, there were specialties in martial arts, and surprise attacks had to be done by veterans like Lü Bu.

Zhang Miao had lived a better life, and as he was older, he didn't have much willpower to endure the hardships of military service. So Chen Gong persuaded him and he agreed.

Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao felt that it was inappropriate to hand over the army to others, but Zhang Miao said: "Meng Gao (Zhang Chao's nickname) does not need to worry. Lu Bu is heading east, and Chen Liu will provide all the food and grass. He can't do anything wrong."

.Besides, he is a barbarian from Bingzhou, who will support him? If he betrays me, there will probably be no place in the world for him."

Chen Gong's arrangements were not considered imperfect, but he underestimated Xun Yu.

Xun Yu keenly discovered that the purpose of Zhang Miao's letter was impure. After all, if Lu Bu came to vote, why didn't he contact Juancheng first and instead take a detour to Chenliu?

Moreover, Xun Yu, who was left behind in Yanzhou, had long sensed the fluctuations in the state. He repeatedly urged Cao Cao to return, but Cao Cao was obsessed with Yingchuan and never returned.

Connected with the abnormality of this matter and the turmoil in the state, Xun Yu came to an astonishing conclusion that Zhang Miao rebelled.

Coming to this conclusion, Xun Yu himself was frightened. After all, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were old friends. When they first attacked Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Cao Cao left a letter to his family saying, "If I don't return it, I will go to Meng Zhuo." This shows the relationship between the two parties.

close.

However, Xun Yu immediately deployed his troops for defense and quickly recruited Xiahou Dun, the governor of Dongjun in Puyang, to come to the rescue and protect his family members in Puyang.

When Lu Bu arrived at the city, Xun Yu closed the door and refused to accept him.

At the same time, chaos broke out in the city. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun arrived in time and killed dozens of officials involved in the rebellion conspiracy, and the situation stabilized.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Lu Bu had to turn to Puyang to the west.

Most of Puyang's main forces were taken away by Xiahou Dun, leaving the city empty. With the help of Chen Gong, Lu Bu quickly occupied Puyang City.

Chen Gong also ordered the army to set up defenses to the west to prevent Cao Cao from returning to Yanzhou. At the same time, he issued a proclamation to all the states, calling on everyone to expel Cao Cao.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong took the lead, and others also raised troops to respond.

In addition to Li Feng, Xue Lan, Xu Si, Wang Kai, Fan Yi, Wu Zi and other important officials and celebrities in the state, there are also Yanzhou generals such as Mao Hui, Xu Xi, Zhao Shu, Li Zou, etc., as well as the Chenliu Gao family, who sent the clan members

The hero Gao Shun led the troops and followed him.

In the entire Yanzhou territory, it can be said that every state is rebelling.
