Thinking about it, it seems normal.
Yuan Tan lost to Yuan Shang in the fight for the throne and heir, but he was not convinced.
He led the general of the cyclist and cavalry and stationed in Liyang. To put it bluntly, he also wanted to use this to show his abilities.
But Yuan Tan did not expect that as soon as he occupied Li Yang, he received news that Cao Cao sent Yan Liang and Xu You to invade, so he was inevitably panicked.
He asked Yuan Shang for help, and he probably had no choice but to do it.
But when he learned that Yuan Shang and Liu Chuang had an alliance, he would probably be even more unhappy.
Speaking of which, if the two Yuans have a similar strength, they will be equal. If they insist on getting one higher, Yuan Shang will be one point stronger than Yuan Tan at most. And Yuan Tan still has half of Qingzhou to support... But if Yuan Shang and Liu Chuang form an alliance, many variables will arise. Liu Chuang's strength has been revealed in the past two years. Whether it is sweeping Youzhou or winning the northern border. Liu Chuang's status in the northern border has been established, and his identity as the emperor has made many people willing to cooperate with Liu Chuang...
Yuan Shang was able to quickly stabilize the situation with the help of Liu Chuang.
Even if Yuan Tan finally repels Cao Cao, he cannot save Yuan Shang's situation.
Liu Chuang raised his head and suddenly asked, "Young Master Yang, why should I warn me?"
Yang Ming was a little nervous, his voice trembled slightly, "The emperor's uncle is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He was ordered by the emperor to revive the Han Dynasty. My father had long been willing to join him. It was a pity that he had no choice but to suffer because he had no choice, so he never got the opportunity. The emperor's uncle dominates Youzhou and is even more powerful in the north of the border. Who knows his reputation? My father was kind to the late emperor back then and was appointed as the captain of Heishan. Now the emperor's uncle went south. My father and son should abandon the darkness and turn to the light and serve the emperor's uncle."
Liu Chuang had long been feeling uncomfortable when he heard these clichés.
He stood up, walked to Yang Ming's side, and pressed his big hand on Yang Ming's shoulder, "Young Master Yang, go back and tell Ling Zun, just say that I already know his feelings.
This time I went to Yecheng to work hard for the future of our Han Dynasty.
You father and son should abide by their duties and must not be distracted. When the Han Dynasty is revived, I will definitely report to the emperor and ask for merit for your father and son."
Liu Chuang's words were actually accepted by Yang Feng and his son.
But on the other hand, he also warned Yang Feng and his son not to speak out, just do what is in front of him and never make any trouble.
Yang Ming was also a smart person and immediately showed a look of panic.
"The villain follows the teachings of the emperor and will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations."
He bowed and then resigned to Liu Chuang.
After seeing Yang Ming away, Xu Chu couldn't help asking, "Lord, is it possible that we still have to go to Yecheng?"
"Could you be afraid of Brother Tiger?"
Xu Chu's face suddenly turned red.
"Where did the lord start? I have experienced even more dangerous things since I was with him. How can I be afraid of Yecheng?"
Liu Chuang, laughed!
He turned his head and looked at Lu Xun.
"Boyan, can you be prepared?"
"Just rely on the emperor's instructions."
"Haha, Yuan Xiansi is extremely stupid and not enough to make plans with him.
But now, we need two Yuans to get a breather for us, so this cooperation is inevitable. If Yuan Shao is alive, I would not be able to return to Youzhou now. But Yuan Shao is not here, and just one Yuan Tan Shang is not enough to threaten me. I believe Yuan Shang also knows that I am his best partner now. Apart from cooperating with me, he may not find a suitable ally.
Since that's the case, I will just go to Yecheng and learn about the Yuan family's methods!"

It was night, sour jujubes.
After Cao Cao led his troops to Yanjin, he was ready.
However, Cao Cao's headaches have occurred since the beginning of spring and is unbearable.
Fortunately, the imperial physician, Xiao Xi, was accompanied by him and prescribed a medicine for him. After taking the medicine, Cao Cao suffered from sweating and his headache was relieved a lot, so he went to bed early.
But he was called out shortly after he fell asleep.
"Lord, Military Advisor Guo has urgent matters to ask for a meeting."
Guo Jia is now serving as a military advisor to offer wine. Although his position is not obvious, he has great authority.
He came late at night, and it was obvious that something important happened.
Although Cao Cao's illness had just improved, he still stood up quickly and put on his clothes.
"Fengxiao, it's so late, is there anything wrong?"
"The third young master is back!"
"ah?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the third son Guo Jia mentioned was Cao Zhang.
"Why didn't Huang Xuer accompany his sister in Youzhou and run back to do something?"
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "After the third young master got off the ship in Donglai, he headed straight to Huang County.
Wang Xiu, the prefect of Donglai County, has ordered people to protect the third prince to return. He is probably passing Taishan County by this time and is heading towards Xudu."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and sighed, "I'm back, come back."
He actually knew in his heart that this time Cao Zhang came back, the momentum between him and Liu Chuang was like water and fire.
Previously, Cao Zhang stayed in Youzhou, and there was still a bond between Cao Cao and Liu Chuang. But now... Liu Chuang also used this method to express his attitude to Cao Cao: there will inevitably be a battle between the two of us. Since that is the case, let us come over.
Cao Cao's mood has always been very complicated about Liu Chuang.
The difference in thought at the beginning created the hostility between him and Liu Chuang now.
As Liu Chuang rose in Youzhou, the relationship between the two was completely broken.
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, then stood up, "Since that's the case, let's see what kind of skills he, Liu Mengyan, has.
Fengxiao, Liu Chuang and Yuan Shang joined forces, what is the situation now?"
Guo Jia replied: "According to detailed reports, Liu Chuang had crossed the Hutuo River this morning and was on the way to Yecheng..."
"He came so fast!"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and immediately said, "Since that's the case, I can't make him too comfortable.
The commander Yan Liang and Xu You ordered them to cross the river in the future and attack Liyang. After ordering Xu Huang and Cao Hong to march towards Huang Ze, it is necessary to seize Neihuang as soon as possible."
Taking down Neihuang is equivalent to cutting off Li Yang's return.
Cao Cao decided to give Liu Chuang a warning. Naturally, he would not be merciful at this time.
Guo Jia bowed to take the order and immediately said, "There is Zhang Yan's side..."
"The Zhang Yan matter is still under the leadership of Fengxiao, so be sure to make Zhang Yan surrender as soon as possible.
As for the battle between Li Yang, you don’t have to worry. With Wenhe and Gongda here, even if Liu Chuang comes, it may not be possible to save the situation..."
Guo Jia nodded and bowed to say goodbye.
Just as Liu Chuang had a crush on Zhang Yan's millions of black mountain bandits, Cao Cao's eyes were also staring at Zhang Yan's black mountain army.
That's a million people!
Thinking back then, Cao Cao had obtained the millions of Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and completely stabilized the situation in Yanzhou. If Zhang Yan could be recruited, he would definitely add an important weight to the Battle of Hebei. However, Cao Cao also knew that it would be difficult to recruit Zhang Yan. Even Yuan Shao could not do anything to him, which means that this person was not simple.
Just relying on the advantage of words, do you want Zhang Yan to surrender?
Cao Cao never thought so.
Only after the army is approaching and proves with strength, Zhang Yan can make up his mind.
Then now is the best time for Cao Cao to show his strength to Zhang Yan...
However, Liu Chuang and Yuan Shang's alliance were a variable. Since the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's view of Liu Chuang has undergone tremendous changes. In the past, he admitted that Liu Chuang had some methods, but it only ended there. More often, he still believed that Liu Chuang was lucky.
But with Liu Chuang swept across Liaodong, swept across Youzhou, and captured the Great Xianbei Mountains.
Cao Cao already regarded Liu Chuang as a confidant.
Even when the Battle of Cangting was at its most critical moment, Cao Cao's eyes had shifted from Yuan Shao to Liu Chuang who was far away in Youzhou. It can be said that Liu Chuang's grasp and control of the timing made Cao Cao feel scared and even feared.
This guy is not just lucky!
After Guo Jia said goodbye, Cao Cao sat alone in the house, but he was completely sleepy.
He wandered around and sat down after a moment, picked up a book called "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu" and watched it absent-mindedly. He had to think clearly about what kind of trouble Liu Chuang would bring to himself after he arrived in Yecheng. However, one thing was that Cao Cao could have been sure that once Liu Chuang and Yuan Shang reached a cooperation, the turbulent situation in Jizhou would soon calm down, and the impact of Yuan Shao's death from illness would also weaken.
This guy is such a hard guy!
Cao Cao knew the reason why Liu Chuang joined forces with Yuan Shang.
Although Liu Chuang had won one after another, the truth about Youzhou's fatigue could not be concealed behind the successive victory. Liu Chuang suddenly changed his mind and cooperated with Yuan Shang, which is probably the reason. He needed Yuan Shang to stop his steps to go north, and even came to Yecheng to get a breather for Youzhou. This scene seemed familiar to Cao Cao. When Liu Chuang was in Guangling, he used this move to exchange for a breather for Beihai and Donglai, and then he was able to arrange it calmly and head to Liaodong.
But this time, I will never be fooled by you again...
"Come!"
"Here."
"Immediately ask Junshi Jia to come and say I have something urgent to discuss with him."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the end of January of the seventh year of Jian'an, Yan Liang led his troops across the Yellow River and came to the city of Liyang.
When Yuan Tan learned that Cao's army had arrived at the city, he quickly led his troops to climb to the top of the city and cursed Yan Liang.
If Yuan Shao scolded him, Yan Liang would be ashamed. But what is Yuan Tan? When I assisted your father, you were bullshit.
Therefore, Yuan Tan's scolding not only failed to make Yan Liang retreat, but also completely angered Yan Liang.
He jumped out of the battle and fought under Liyang City.
However, Yan Liang's reputation was so high that no one under Yuan Tan dared to go out of the city to fight.
Seeing that Yuan Tan refused to go to the battle, Yan Liang was even more unrestrained. After discussing with Xu You, he ordered a strong attack on Li Yang... More than fifty thunderbolt cars were arranged in line with Li Yang's city. With Yan Liang's order, Cao's army launched a fierce attack on Li Yang like a tide.
Yuan Tan did not dare to be negligent. While commanding Yuan's army to defend, he sent people to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shang for help.
At this time, Liu Chuang's troops arrived in Yecheng.
Yuan Shang personally led the civil and military officials of Yecheng to greet him outside the city. From a distance, a team of cavalry came in a mighty way, with flags greetings and flying in the sun, and wrote "The Uncle of the Han Dynasty, General of the Carriage and Cavalry". In the middle, there was a big word "Liu", pinching the gold edge and walking on the silver thread, which was particularly eye-catching.
Yuan Shang recognized Liu Chuang, who was at the forefront of the team at first sight.
It has been four years since I last met Liu Chuang.
At that time, Liu Chuang was just a rising little prince. If he hadn't been the son of Liu Tao, Yuan Shang might not have taken him to heart.
But now, when people say that Liu Chuang will be called the emperor's uncle.
On the contrary, Liu Tao's name seems to be no longer mentioned to people... Because of Liu Chuang's current momentum, he has long surpassed Liu Ziqi of the past.
This also made Yuan Shang feel very uncomfortable.
I watched the man who was not as good as him back then, now he is well-known.
And what about Yuan Shang?
If Yuan Shao had not passed away, he would probably still be unknown. Even though he inherited Yuan Shao's position, Yuan Shao's influence still existed. People say that Yuan Shang will definitely become the third son of Yuan Gong... He could not eliminate the influence brought by Yuan Shao without truly controlling Jizhou and doing something. Looking at Liu Chuang, Yuan Shang's mood was particularly complicated. However, on the surface, he did not show it. When Liu Chuang approached, Yuan Shang took a deep breath and stepped forward to greet Liu Chuang.
Liu Chuang also saw Yuan Shang early, but he was not in a hurry to come forward to greet him.
However, when Yuan Shang went out, Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel moved and looked at Yuan Shang a little higher.
If it were Yuan Tan, the playboy would have put on airs and waited for himself to come forward instead of taking the initiative to meet him.
If Yuan Shao had only Yuan Shang, he would have been another situation in Hebei now!
Yuan Shang came over, so Liu Chuang naturally couldn't continue to control it.
He turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, and bowed before Yuan Shang spoke, "Three Young Master, don't be fine."
Unlike when he met Linshou, Yuan Shang's childishness had been reduced a lot, and he was replaced by a calmness for the superiors.
Seeing Liu Chuang saluting first, Yuan Shang was stunned.
But he immediately woke up and hurriedly walked up and grabbed Liu Chuang's hand, "I'm sorry for the Emperor... But now the Emperor's style is even more prosperous. I'm still even more grateful to be able to draw my sword to help this time. Come on, I've set up a banquet and am about to drink with the Emperor's uncle."
The last time Yuan Shang and Liu Chuang met, they were hostile to each other.
At that time, Yuan Shang wanted to marry Xun Dan, and he had already increased his position in Yuan Shao's mind. At that time, Liu Chuang and Xun Dan had not yet married, and the two were lovers and were hostile to each other. For this reason, Liu Chuang also killed Yuan Shang's general "Great Ape King" Yu Yuanjin, winning Yuan Shang's beloved horse away.
But later, the two reconciled.
Yuan Shang was besieged by the bandits of Mount Tai. Fortunately, Liu Chuang sent troops to rescue him, so he escaped.
But after that, the two of them never met again. After Liu Chuang broke the siege of Yuan Shang, he hurriedly left Linzi for two hundred horses and returned to Beihai... Later, Yuan Shang also helped Liu Chuang with a small favor, but after that, the two never had any intersection again.
This flash...
Whether it was Liu Chuang or Yuan Shang, they all felt emotion.
No matter what the relationship between the two was in the past, now, they both must work together to fight against Cao Cao.
Yuan Shang couldn't help but look at Liu Chuang, but he didn't know that Liu Chuang was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other and laughed at each other... Originally, Yuan Shang's thoughts that were still hesitant also became firm with the two of them's smile.
There is never an eternal enemy in this world, only eternal interests!
