Just when Yuan Shao decided to follow Xu You's plan and command the heroes from all directions, a fast horse quietly rushed into Wan County, the seat of Nanyang Government.
"My Lord, a letter from the Governor of Changshan."
Xu You took the letter sent by Yuan Shu's envoy and hurried into Yuan Shao's prefect's mansion.
"What? Highway letter?"
Upon hearing that it was Yuan Shu's letter, Yuan Shao quickly tore it open.
"Um?"
After reading the letter, Yuan Shao frowned and looked sad.
"Lord, what's the matter? Why is your face so sad?"
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao's face and knew it was definitely not a good thing.
"look."
Yuan Shao handed Yuan Shu's letter to Xu You, and Xu You smiled all over his face after reading the letter.
"My lord, it turns out that the person Dong Zhuo was talking about was Yuan Jiujiu, who broke into the palace at night to rescue the young emperor. What he did was really subtle."
"Zi Yuan, why are you laughing? Yuan Jiujiu got the imperial edict from the young emperor and ordered all parties to join forces with Zao Qiang to attack Dong Zhuo. He has taken the limelight. What should we do?"
Yuan Shao looked at Xu You who was smiling, his eyes full of confusion.
"My lord, as the saying goes, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Everyone has their own gain. It seems that Yuan Shu is the leader of all the princes in the world in order to defeat Governor Dong. But from another point of view, it is okay to defeat Dong Zhuo if he fails. Once Dong Zhuo is defeated, he Yuan Shu
It will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Gongsun Zan of Peiping, Liu Yu of Youzhou, Han Fu of Jizhou, and Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain bandit, don't regard him as a thorn in their side. With Yuan Shu supporting us, we can develop with peace of mind. First, we can plot the five counties of Jingbei, and then Jingbei.
The four southern counties.
After holding Jingzhou, you can bloom everywhere. To the west, you can plot Hanzhong and Yizhou. To the north, you can attack Yongzhou and Yanzhou. To the east, you can invade Henan and Xuzhou. To the south, there are two states of Jiaoyang to fight. If you do this, before sending troops
Go north, and the world is in your hands."
Xu You's eyes sparkled with wisdom. In his plan, Yuan Shao should sit south and look north, and he could annex the world and have great potential.
After hearing Xu You's plan, Yuan Shao's eyes were full of greed. If others can do it, Yuan Shao should not deserve it.
"My son is far better than a million soldiers. I will do as you say. Raise 30,000 troops and send them north to form an alliance with the highway."
Chenliu, Dongjun
"Brother, Yuan Shu, the governor of Changshan, has sent an envoy to deliver a message."
Cao Hong came to Cao Cao and handed Yuan Shu's letter into Cao Cao's hands.
"Yuan Shu? Why did he write this letter?"
Cao Cao looked puzzled and tore open Yuan Shu's letter.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao's face and couldn't help but ask.
"Zi Lian, Yuan Shu has received the edict from the young emperor and called on the princes from all over the world to attack Dong Zhuo."
"That's a good relationship. Isn't it your long-cherished wish to crusade Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty?"
After hearing the content of the letter, Cao Hong's face was filled with excitement.
"Zilian, it is my long-cherished wish to help the Han Dynasty, but now that the Han Dynasty is old, is it really necessary or can it really be done? There are various governors, prefects, and generals who don't have tens of thousands of troops. It's difficult, it's difficult.
ah."
Cao Cao shook his head.
"Brother, shall we go to this meeting or not?"
Looking at Cao Cao, Cao Hong's face collapsed.
"Go, of course you have to go. How can such a major event in the world be without me, Cao Mengde, but you must keep a low profile on this trip, conserve your combat power, and never charge into the formation. We only have a few thousand troops, and we can't lose a single one.
"
Although Cao Cao looked ugly, his heart was extremely determined.
Originally, he wanted to use the imperial edict as a capital to attract the attention of the princes in the world, but unexpectedly he was overtaken by Yuan Shu. This really made him uncomfortable. Even so, he had to participate in this alliance of princes.
Jizhou Xindu
Han Fu was sitting at the top of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, with a group of civil and military officials below him.
"Lord Zhou Mu, Yuan Shu, the governor of Changshan, sent an envoy to deliver a message."
A guard held a letter in his hand and walked directly to Han Fu.
"Yuan Shu?"
When he heard that the letter was from Yuan Shu, Han Fu was a little confused. He had just assumed the post of Jizhou Shepherd not long ago and had no interaction with Yuan Shu.
"Sir, what's wrong with Yuan Jiujiu?"
A middle-aged man with a thin body but piercing eyes stood up.
"Gongze, Yuan Jiujiu holds the Young Emperor's edict and invites me to gather our righteous troops to attack Dong Zhuo."
Guo Tu and Guo Gongze were from Han Fu's hometown. When he was appointed as the pastor of Jizhou, he directly invited Guo Tu to serve as an official in Jizhou.
Guo Tu took the letter from Han Fu and scanned it roughly, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Gongze, why are you frowning?"
Seeing Guo Tu frowning, Han Fu couldn't help but feel worried.
"My lord, Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, plotting to kill the young emperor and bringing chaos to the court. With this thief here, it will be difficult for the great Han Dynasty to prosper.
Yuan Shu holds the Young Emperor's edict and calls on all the heroes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo. This is a matter of great justice and must be done. Besides, you are Dong Zhuo's canonized state pastor. If you want to clear your name, you must participate in this alliance."
Hearing Guo Tu's words, Han Fu couldn't help but nodded.
"However, this alliance is not that simple. Although Yuan Shu is a dandy, he is the legitimate son of the Yuan family and has a great reputation. If he can defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, he will be unparalleled. I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to do harm to you."
Guo Tu, however, stumped Han Fu.
"so what should I do now?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
Another person suddenly stood up and cupped his fists at Han Fu.
"If Zhongzhi has any brilliant ideas, please tell me quickly."
Xin Ping Xin Zhongzhi was one of Han Fu's important counselors.
"Sir, how many troops can Yuan Shu have as a prefect? Even if you include the Polu troops, they can only have 15,000 regular troops and 20,000 to 30,000 auxiliary troops. However, my lord, you now have 30,000 elite troops and auxiliary troops.
There are also more than 40,000 people,
As long as we show enough strength, no matter how famous Yuan Shu is, he still has to weigh his own weight."
When Xin Ping spoke, a strange light shone in his eyes.
"Zhongzhi's words are true. As long as we can show enough strength, we are not afraid of Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu's wolf-like mentality."
Guo Tu also nodded.
"Well, according to what you said, I have decided to send out all my best troops for this alliance and unite 30,000 elite troops to form an alliance with Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongluo."
The two counselors under his command have said this, and Han Fu has nothing to say. Since he must go to the alliance, he must let Yuan Shu take a good look at the tiger and wolf troops under his command.
"promise."
Ji County, Youzhou
"My lord, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, the governor of Changshan, sent a letter from an envoy."
Liu Yu took the letter from his subordinates with confusion on his face.
"My lord, why are you confused? You can see it just by looking at it."
Dong Cao and Wei You looked at Liu Yu and couldn't help but smile.
"Um."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he opened the letter.
"Lord, why is this so?"
"Yuan Jiujiu said in his letter that a young emperor was going to attack Dong Zhuo by calling on the princes from all over the world to attack Dong Zhuo."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he handed the letter to Wei You.
After Wei You read the letter, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Xunliang, are you going to join the alliance?"
Liu Yu set his sights on Wei You.
"My lord, as you see, it's okay not to go to this alliance."
Wei You shook his head.
"Why? Dong Zhuo was cruel and unkind, and the court was plagued by cholera. I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Why can't I go to this alliance? Am I not as good as that dandy of the Yuan family?"
