After Xiang Ji met Jia Xu, he immediately asked all the doubts in his heart.
Before meeting Jia Xu, Xiang Ji would never have imagined that the person coming to support him would be this old poisoner.
You know, based on time, Jia Xu should be fighting Cao Cao at this time. How could he appear here?
Xiang Ji absolutely does not believe that Jia Xu defeated Cao Cao.
After all, the military power was there. Cao Cao was twice as powerful as the Chu army, and he was assisted by Guo Jia and others. No matter how powerful Jia Xu was, he would never have a chance to defeat Cao Cao.
But now, the person who appeared in front of Xiang Ji was the most unlikely person. No wonder he was full of questions.
After hearing the narration, Xiang Ji was very excited.
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu was so powerful that he could play with Cao Cao in the palm of his hand.
Xiang Ji was naturally very satisfied with Jia Xu's results.
How much more can you ask of him? This is probably the limit he has reached.
When Xiang Ji knew that Cao Cao's army could not pose a threat to Xuzhou for the time being, the last worries in his heart were finally put aside.
"The whole army is chasing me. I will take Liu Bei's hometown directly!"
Now the so-called alliance to conquer Chu has basically collapsed, the Wu Kingdom has been destroyed, and Cao Cao is busy returning to his hometown to wipe his ass for the bad things Jia Xu did, leaving Liu Bei still on his own feet.
What else is there to say? If you don't take this opportunity to kill Liu Bei directly, how can you let go of the bad breath in Xiang Ji's heart?
As for the last member of the Allied Forces, Yuan Shao?
Xiang Ji has never thought of him. It seems that this guy has always been responsible for waving the flag and shouting from the rear, right?
But what Xiang Ji didn't know was that Yuan Shao was really not idle at this time.
Yecheng.
Yuan Shao, dressed in military uniform, stood on the general stage in the school field, holding military symbols and mobilizing before the war.
"My dear gentlemen, I, the Yuan family, have inherited the destiny of heaven, and I am destined to succeed the Han Dynasty.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and rebels are rising from all walks of life. Since I, Yuan Shao, have been granted the destiny, I want to bring peace to the world and restore peace to this world.
Now, the rebellious ministers and traitors in Yanzhou and Qingzhou are busy in internal strife with the anti-King Xiang Ji. It is a great opportunity for our army to send troops to destroy the rebels."
As he spoke, Yuan Shao trembled.
Of course, this was not because of panic, but because of excitement.
Really even God helped me.
We just captured the old thief Gongsun Zan here, and Yanzhou and Qingzhou are left empty. Such a God-given opportunity, how can I, Yuan Shao, not seize it firmly?
As long as I take this opportunity to capture Yanzhou and Qingzhou in one fell swoop, I'm afraid no one in the world can compete with me, right?
What is the national title of Chu State? It's just a Mang Fuer.
What's more, where did he occupy? Hum hum, can those cowardly southerners be more powerful than our northern army?
As for Liu Biao and Liu Yan, Yuan Shao looked down upon them even more.
A group of slaves guarding the city can't do much.
In today's world, Lu Bu, who only occupies the position of the third auxiliary, can still give Yuan Shao a little headache. The other princes? Hum.
"Your Majesty, General Yan Liang has requested a battle. He is willing to be the vanguard of our army and attack cities and territories for our great Qi!"
While Yuan Shao was thinking about the future, Hebei general Yan Liang, who was ranked below him, stood up.
Nowadays, who doesn't know that Yanzhou and Qingzhou are empty? This is totally a grab for credit. Others, because of Yuan Shao's majesty in the past, are still considering whether to fight now.
But Yan Liang doesn't care.
Who is Yan Liang? He is Yuan Shao's most beloved general.
As expected, Yuan Shao laughed heartily when he saw Yan Liang asking for a fight.
"Hahaha! Well, you are worthy of being an athlete from Hebei."
After praising Yan Liang, Yuan Shao tensed up again, looked at the leading generals reservedly, and began to assign tasks.
"Since Yan Liang is willing to be the vanguard, I will mobilize your army of 50,000 to cross the Yellow River, seize the White Horse, and march directly to Yanzhou!
The lonely king will arrive soon with his army."
Compared to Liu Bei, Yuan Shao valued Cao Cao even more.
After all, Cao Cao occupied two states.
Although Sizhou Luoyang has been dilapidated, it is still the former capital of the Han Dynasty. Even though it is dilapidated, its heritage is still there, and it can still continuously provide Cao Cao with money, food, and soldiers.
After giving instructions to Yan Liang, Yuan Shao turned to look at his beloved general Wen Chou on the other side.
"Wen Chou, I am sending you a hundred thousand troops out of Ningjin and Shanghe, directly to Qingzhou!
The rest of the people will go to Liyang with the lonely king's army to supervise the battle!"
In Yuan Shao's opinion, the 150,000 troops of the basic faction of the two states without many defenders and the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, could easily win.
But in order to nip the problem in the bud, Yuan Shao decided to lead his army to Liyang.
As for the money and food consumed by the army traveling?
As the lord of Hebei, the wealthy Yuan Shao naturally did not care about the small amount of money and food consumed by the army's expedition.
As Yuan Shao's order was issued, Hebei's war machine began to operate.
Yecheng, in an inconspicuous private house.
"Have you found anything? Why are Yuan Shao's armies so frequently mobilized? Have you found out what their purpose is?"
Inside a private house, a thin man dressed in black was roaring.
Below him, there were also two men dressed in black.
In response to the roar of the person above them, the two of them did not dare to raise their heads and look at him.
"Waste, really waste. Don't forget our identities. Now that Chu State is in crisis, the Hebei army has begun to mobilize again. Why don't you hurry up and find out more?"
Could it be that the motherland has raised you so that you can come here to make a living?
Don’t forget, your family is taking care of you!”
It turned out that the three people in the house were spies arranged by Pei Yuanshao in Hebei.
"Captain! It's not that brothers don't work hard, but the time we came here is still too short, and we can't get in touch with the upper class people in Qi State."
Finally, a man in black couldn't stand the captain's constant sarcasm and explained.
"Can't get in touch? Even if we can't get in touch, we still have to get in touch. Now that Hebei's army is mobilizing so frequently, something big is bound to happen.
I don’t care what your reasons are, I must hear accurate news within a day!”
How could the captain not know the difficulties faced by his subordinates? However, Chu State had just been besieged by the coalition forces of Cao and Liu. If Yuan Shao from Hebei Province participated in the war, the trouble would be huge.
It is precisely the captain who knows this that is why he is so urgent.
"By the way! Captain, we can contact Yanzi! We can't contact him, but those Yanzi often have to serve the top officials of Qi State in brothels!"
The team that had already fallen into despair suddenly heard the words of their subordinates, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, he has seen those swallows before. They are really unique beauties.
You must know that those so-called swallows are all spies carefully selected by Jia Xu and trained for nearly two years.
I am afraid there is no one more suitable than Yanzi to inquire about the upper echelons of these princes.
