Yuan Shu looked at Tian Feng with doubts in his eyes. After all, the Black Mountain bandits were all Yellow Turbans, and even children understood the truth of lips dying and teeth falling cold. It was impossible for them not to know.
"My lord, the Black Mountain bandits seem to be a family, but they fight on their own. Even if Zhang Yan wants to command many of his commanders, it is difficult to do so. Therefore, it is very difficult for Yu Du to get support from other Black Mountain bandits."
"Well, in that case, this plan is feasible. Tian Feng will be the military advisor for this revolt. He will issue orders to all ministries and ask them to act according to the plan. At the same time, he will order Changshan, Zhao Guo, Yangping, Guangping, and Qinghe counties to prepare food and grass for the whole country.
The army is ready to set off soon."
Tian Feng's strategy was very good. He gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the poisonous troops first, and then took advantage of the non-subordinate relationship between the Black Mountain bandits to defeat them one by one. By the time they finally reacted, they might have been unable to resist.
Only five of Yuan Shu's trusted generals knew about Yuan Shu's telegraph. Wen Chou immediately sent Qingqi to Guangping to inform Lord Zhang Jaw of his order, and he led the Huwei army to speed south and rush to Linshui.
Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were the fastest. When he received the military order, he had already led his troops to Julu County, and then planned to transfer to Yangping County, go around Dunqiu to seize Chaoge, and at the same time fly his horse to Liu Bei to convey Yuan Shu's intention.
Yuan Shu and Tian Feng led their own guards and a regiment of 20,000 people to ride in carriages towards Dunqiu.
Ju Yi lived in Fuliu, which was close to Yuan Shu. After receiving the military order, he immediately organized his troops and led his army north to Hejian County.
After Yan Liang received the military order, he immediately recruited militia groups for defense, and he led 20,000 Polu troops to Jingjing to defend the enemy.
Ji Ling was also on guard and deployed troops and horses for defense. At the same time, he flew to Leling County and put it on full alert to prevent the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans from advancing westward.
After a period of rest, Jizhou began to operate at full capacity again. At the same time, a tall and thin middle-aged man also quietly came to Xun Chen's mansion.
"who?"
The man took off his cloak and smiled at the doorman.
"Brother, please let me know that someone is coming from my hometown in Yingchuan."
When I heard that it was someone coming from Yingchuan's hometown, the servant didn't dare to neglect him.
"Please wait a moment, I will go to Mr. Tong Bing right now,"
Last time someone came from Yingchuan's hometown and a big man like Xun You came to Jizhou. He changed the owner of Jizhou in one fell swoop. I don't know who he is this time.
Xun Chen was stunned when he heard the doorman's report. Did something happen to his hometown in Yingchuan? Why are they happening one after another?
He quickly came to the door and took a look at the person outside. He couldn't help but be stunned.
"arts"
Just as Xun Chen was about to speak, Xun Yu on the other side gave him a wink and then gently shook his head.
"Come in with me."
I don't know why Xun Yu acted like this, but Xun Chen winked at him, then turned and walked towards the door. The middle-aged man from Yingchuan followed him into the mansion without saying a word.
After entering Xun Chen's secret room, the man took off all his cloaks.
"Fourth brother, long time no see. How are you?"
The man looked at Xun Chen and said it was his fourth brother.
"Wen Ruo, what are you going to do and why are you making it so mysterious?"
Xun Chen looked at the man in front of him. This man was none other than Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo of the Xun family.
"Fourth brother, Dong Zhuo is raging in Chang'an and Yingchuan is in danger, so I just left Yingchuan to find another place for our Xun family to stay."
Xun Yu looked at Xun Chen and directly expressed his thoughts without hiding anything.
"Wen Ruo, Yingchuan is far away from Chang'an, so you are worrying too much."
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Xun Chen shook his head, somewhat contemptuous of his precautions.
"Fourth brother, Chang'an is dilapidated and sparsely populated. If Dong Zhuo wants to maintain a luxurious life, he first needs wealth. The millions of people he took with him when he fled westward were robbed by Yuan Shu, so sending troops is a certainty, and Ying
Sichuan and Chenliu have always been prosperous, so they must be their primary goal when heading east."
Xun Yu looked at Xun Chen, his eyes shining brightly.
"As you said, Yingchuan is indeed dangerous, so when you come to Jizhou, you want to put the Xun family's home here."
Xun Yu has long been known in the Xun family and is known as the "talent of Wang Zuo". His precautions for rainy days seem to be a bit worrying, but they reveal a hint of a prophet of history, so Xun Chen also nodded to Xun Yu's worries.
.
"It depends on you, what is the situation in Jizhou now, and whether it is worthy of your trust."
Hearing that Xun Chen agreed with his idea, Xun Yu nodded.
"In my opinion, Yuan Shu of Jizhou is the hero of the world and is worthy of entrustment. However, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Liu Bei of Yangping, Cao Cao of Dongjun, Yuan Shao of Nanyang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Jian of Changsha should not be underestimated."
Xun Chen had a map of Kanyu throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty in his room. After hearing Xun Yu's words, he brought him to Kanyu. He saw that it was densely marked with the names of various forces and their lords.
"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is no more brave than an ordinary man, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is no more withered bones in the mirror, Sun Jian of Changsha is a ferocious tiger, but he will definitely be killed by his force."
Xun Yu gently pulled down the chess pieces that symbolized Liu Biao, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian.
"You mean Liu Bei in Pingyang, Cao Cao in Dongjun and Yuan Shao in Nanyang still have great potential?"
Xun Chen looked at the three remaining forces and couldn't help but turn his eyes.
"Of these three, Liu Bei has Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, two tiger generals. If he meets a good minister, he will definitely be able to take off. However, he lives under Yuan Shu. What kind of person Yuan Shu is, it is difficult for him to develop.
Yuan Shao of Nanyang, like Yuan Shu, was the fourth generation and the third prince. Although he was born as a commoner, he now occupied the rich land of Nanyang and had plenty of troops under his command.
I guess he was the one who instigated the battle between Sun Jian and Liu Biao, which also shows that he must have some very resourceful people under his command. I might not be happy if I go there rashly."
Xun Yu once again pulled down the flags of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. In this way, there were only two forces in Kanyu, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.
"Wen Ruo, what will happen to Cao Cao?"
After listening to Xun Yu's words, Xun Chen nodded again. Every sentence of his analysis was on point. Now he wants to hear his comments on Cao Cao.
"Cao Cao is a powerful man in the world. Not only has his talent and strategy, but he also has a cruel heart that would rather let me betray the world than let the world betray me.
This can be seen from the fact that he secretly marched into Dongjun, waited until Liu Bei and the Yellow Turbans fought in a melee, and then attacked from behind, killing him in one fell swoop.
Although he has just gained the small territory of Dongjun, if anyone can put an end to this troubled times, Cao Cao must be one of them."
Xun Yu spoke highly of Cao Cao, and was not at all annoyed by his character. Instead, he was very happy.
Troubled times have their own troubled people. If you can't sacrifice yourself for victory, you will be swallowed up by people like Cao Cao in the end.
"Wen Ruo, I like Cao Cao and Cao Mengde."
Xun Chen looked at Xun Yu, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I don't know. It's really hard to choose between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. That's why I came here anonymously. If I visit publicly and then join Cao Cao, it will be very detrimental to you and me."
