Everyone in the world is watching Yuan Shao's actions. Some people know what Yuan Shao wants to do, and some people don't. For example, Liu Biao, although he understood that Yuan Shao's biggest goal in going south this time was Long Fei, he did not see that if Long Fei
How long can Jingzhou survive after Fei defeated him? According to Kuai Yue's suggestion, Liu Biao deployed elite troops to guard Xiangyang to prevent Long Fei from being defeated by Yuan Shao and escaping into his territory.
"Everyone, this time Yuan Benchu leads the army to the south. If Long Fei can be killed, the world will be much more stable!" Liu Biao picked up his wine glass and raised his glass to everyone.
Everyone drank a cup together. Kuai Liang said: "What my lord said is absolutely true. Long Fei's son is causing trouble everywhere, and all the princes in the world are dissatisfied with him. Let's see how he responds this time. We just need to stay in Jingzhou and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight."
The doctor Yi Ji looked worried: "My lord, Yuan Shao's ambition is even worse than Long Fei's. If Wancheng is lost, we in Jingzhou..."
"Lord Yi, you are worrying too much!" Kuai Yue smiled: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family are loyal to the Han Dynasty and will never do such a thing."
Yi Ji glanced at the Kuai brothers with disdain: "The Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes? Isn't Yuan Shu the same?"
Everyone was stunned. The smile on Kuai Yue's face froze. Liu Biao hurriedly said: "Don't quarrel, you two. Although Yuan Benchu is powerful, Long Fei is not a free man. No matter how the two of them fight, as long as we defend Xiangyang."
That’s it! Xiangyang is too close to Wancheng, so I want to move the government to Nanjun. It can be far away from Longfei, or I can control the affairs of Jiangxia nearby. What do you think?"
Everyone was silent. Most of the people sitting here were locals from Xiangyang. Especially Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, the leaders of civil servants, and Cai Mao, the leader of military generals. Their homes were all in Xiangyang. Liu Biao wanted to move his government office there.
Nanjun could not help but make these people think that Liu Biao wanted to escape from their control. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one expressed approval or objection.
Liu Biao sighed softly and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand: "In that case, let's not talk about it anymore!"
Liu Biao was worried about moving the government office, and Cao Cao was worried about whether to openly fight with Yuan Shao. Cheng Yu and others saw clearly that Yuan Shao was trying to take advantage of the situation, and if he killed Long Fei and came back, he would kill Cao Cao.
Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu and destroyed Yuan Shu. Over the years, he campaigned eastward and westward. Yuan Shao recuperated his strength. Although he also defeated Gongsun Zan and captured Bingzhou, he did not use Yuan Shao's old capital. The four states in Hebei have vast territory and a large population, so they have plenty of strength.
Therefore, Cheng Yu believed that Yuan Shao must not be allowed to go south, and he should join forces with Long Fei to trap Yuan Shao in Hebei.
Dong Zhao put forward a different opinion. He believed that although Long Fei was weak, he was difficult to deal with. As Yuan Shaoyuan came, Long Fei had the support of the people of Wancheng, so it would not be a problem to persist with Yuan Shao for a year and a half. As long as Long Fei could hold off Yuan Shao,
Cao Cao commanded his army to detour to Qingzhou and join forces with Zang Ba, the governor of Xuzhou. Yuan Shao was attacked from both sides and found it difficult to cope. The land in Hebei fell into Cao Cao's hands.
Dong Zhao's bold idea was supported by many people, and Cao Cao was also a little inclined to this suggestion. Xi Zhicai hurriedly said: "Dong Zhao is harming the country!" He handed over to Cao Cao: "Master, who is Long Fei?
A man who can afford to let go. If the lord gives way to Xuchang, Long Fei will definitely escape and leave the empty city to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao cannot catch Long Fei. However, the lord listens to Dong Zhao's words and mobilizes the army to Qingzhou. The defense in the west is weak. If Yuan Shao
What if we attack?"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and thought about it carefully. What Xi Zhicai said made sense. Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Xi Zhicai continued: "Master Cheng, speaking up is the best policy. Yuan Shao is so ambitious that if he captures Wancheng, he will definitely sweep across Yuzhou.
If the lord wants to take care of it, it will be too late. It is better to join forces with Long Fei to trap Yuan Shao in Hebei. If Yuan Shao fights hard, it will be a good opportunity for the lord to march into Hebei."
Liu Ye nodded: "I agree with Mr. Xi's words. Mr. Dong's fighting method is unique, but he forgot that Long Fei will not trap Wancheng to death. Liu Biao in the south is weak. If he is really defeated by Long Fei, he can retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. Once Long Fei leaves,
We are bound to be in trouble, and it will be difficult to unite with him again!"
Everyone nodded again. Cao Cao also nodded and said with a smile: "You are all my right-hand men. Although Dong Zhao's words have been opposed, I still think Dong Zhao's idea is bold and a good plan. But as everyone said, at present we still have
We don’t know whether Long Fei is fighting or fleeing, so don’t draw any conclusions in vain. Without getting the news of Long Fei’s deadly battle, send troops immediately and never let Yuan Shao cross the Yellow River!”
That night, the Yanzhou army began to take action. First, Zang Ba was sent to inform Zang Ba to lead his elite troops from Langya to Qingzhou, attack Qi, Beihai, and Dong'an, contain Yuan Shao, consolidate the right wing, and prevent Yuan's army from attacking from the east; he ordered Yu Jin to lead his troops to occupy Liyang in Jizhou
, he also ordered Yue Jin to lead two thousand infantry and cavalry to garrison Yanjin, an important ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, to assist in guarding the white horse Liu Yan, and to prevent Yuan Jun from crossing the river or driving south. He then sent General Xia Houyuan to use the main force to build fortifications in the Guandu area to prevent Yuan Shao from following.
A frontal attack; and sent Jiang Ji to Wancheng to test Long Fei's attitude.
Yuan Shao invaded on a large scale, and Long Fei, the prefect of Wancheng who was the target, didn't seem too anxious. He stayed at home all day playing with his son and daughter for fun. The two little guys had grown up a lot. According to Long Fei's instructions, Lu Xun was sent to
, Lu Ji, Deng Ai, Lu Meng, Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, Guo Jia's son Guo Yi, Jia Xu's grandson Jia Rui, Dian Wei's son Dian Man, Xu Chu's son Xu Yi, and several children of his generals,
I just set aside a few rooms in my own backyard to teach.
Among them, Huang Xu is the eldest, followed by Lu Xun and Lu Meng. The youngest are Long Fei's son Long Sheng and Guo Jia's son Guo Yi. These two guys are less than three years old and are more trouble-making than anyone else. Together with Dian Man,
Xu Yi fanned the flames from the side, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be in a hurry. He invited many gentlemen, and the longest one did not last for a month, and he swore never to come again.
Originally, his intention was good, and this was their future. Let them communicate more while they were young, and they would be as close as brothers when they grow up. But he didn't expect it to be like this. I was worried about whether to find another husband or just just get married.
The ground was dismissed. Guo Jia came in with a smile. Seeing such excitement, he laughed loudly: "Master, are you going to do it yourself?"
"Hey!" Long Fei sighed.
Guo Yi saw Guo Jia quickly hiding behind Huang Xu. Several older children came over to say hello. Guo Jia nodded, looked at Huang Xu and the others, and said to Long Fei: "Why not send them to Gao Shun, one
You can get some exercise, and secondly, the army will be more disciplined and easier to control!"
"Hehehe!" Long Fei chuckled: "There is still a way to pay tribute! You little bastards, listen, I will send you to the military camp tomorrow and let Gao Shun take care of you!" Long Sheng and Guo Yi were frightened.
I almost cried. The other older ones were actually happy. The military camp is always a man's dream. In this troubled world, it would be better to dance with guns and sticks than let them dance with words and ink.
Returning to the front hall, Long Fei sat down. Guo Jia then explained his purpose: "The crisis is imminent, why do you think the master is not anxious at all?"
Long Fei said: "What? Fengxiao is anxious?"
Guo Jia shook his head: "I heard that my lord sent Jiang Gan to Jingzhou to appease Liu Biao, and sent Jia Xu to Chang'an. It seems that my lord is preparing to fight Yuan Shao?"
"No! It's not me! It's Cao Cao who wants to fight Yuan Shao!" Long Fei put down the tea bowl and said: "Xu Shu just sent the news, Cao Cao is also dispatching troops, and Cao Cao's envoy Jiang Ji is already on the way to Wancheng
,How could I not seize such an opportunity?"
Guo Jia nodded: "Cao Cao has a far-sighted vision. If he defeats Yuan Shao, he will take the opportunity to annex the four states of Hebei. We should also think about the next plan!"
"I have asked Chen Dao to send the jade seal to Shuijingzhuang in Xiangyang, and stabilize them first. When Cao Cao's army goes north, we will go south immediately!"
"I'm afraid Hei Bing won't really give up on Jingzhou. How can you spit out what you put into your mouth!"
Long Fei smiled mysteriously: "I have a way, but Hei Bing has to give in! Tell me, what is the result of your discussion?"
Guo Jia took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and presented it to Long Fei with both hands: "This is the result. There is still a shortage of food, grass and equipment. Wen Ruo is already actively raising funds. For the soldiers, it is not difficult for Li Ruyan to mobilize 30,000. Moreover, they have already
Gao Lan was sent to Fancheng to replace Zhang Xiu, and Xu Huang, who was in peace, was transferred back, and Xiangcheng was handed over to Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Hua Xiong, and Wenpin were transferred back, and the Ganning navy was sent to cruise on the Feishui River, so that Wancheng could be protected.
Foolproof!"
"Very good!" Long Fei nodded: "In this way, we will have enough generals. Second brother, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Talun, plus Xu Chu and others, that's enough!
With Fengxiao, Li Ru as military advisor, Gao Shun, and brothers Xianyu supervising the army, the army will be strong! Let Cao Cao also see our formation, hehehe!"
Guo Jia hurriedly asked: "Should we take Dian Wei with us? The war is about to begin, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to leave him alone?"
Long Fei glanced at Guo Jia: "Didn't you also discuss this matter? What was the result?"
"Haha! I can't hide anything from my lord. It must be that boy Wang Wei who snitched!" Guo Jia hurriedly changed the subject: "This boy is just lax. Why don't you let him follow brother Yuan Zhi? Wen Ruo asked for it many times.
, If Wang Wei buys food and grass for him, it will be twice the result with half the effort!"
"Forget it! I won't argue with you anymore, let Dian Wei come to me!"
"Okay!" Guo Jia agreed and ran out the door happily.
Jiang Ji arrived at Wancheng without stopping. Wancheng was in chaos. Soldiers were coming and going on the streets. People holding large and small bags and saluting all crowded towards the city gate. Without soldiers to clear the way, Jiang Ji would not have been able to squeeze in. Reception
Jiang Ji's person was Xu Shu, and Xu Shu quickly explained: "Hey! Yuan Shao's army of one hundred thousand, how can we, a small town like Wancheng, cope with it? When the people heard about this, they all wanted to leave. Our Lord had no choice but to take His Majesty to Jingzhou for refuge.
"
"Absolutely not!" Jiang Ji said hurriedly: "Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou is a member of the royal family, he is cowardly. There may be something unexpected when General Long leaves!"
"That's helpless. Who made General Cao watch Yuan Shao crossing the Yellow River without paying attention? Originally, my lord wanted to join forces with General Cao to fight against Yuan together. Both of us are in-laws, but now..."
"Is this really happening?" Jiang Ji asked quickly.
Xu Shu nodded: "But it's useless now. Mr. Cao is unwilling, and there's nothing we can do!"
Jiang Ji took Xu Shu's hand and said, "Sir, no need to say more, I am here just to unite the Cao Long family. Take me to see General Long quickly, quickly!"
Long Fei looked tired and sat in the hall. Before Long Fei could ask, Jiang Ji first said: "Cao Gong is willing to join forces with General Long to fight against Yuan. Is General Long willing?"
