Chapter 270: Lian Yuan Shao and others raise troops

Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yuan Shao's envoy had already arrived in Xuchang, but Cao Cao had not received him for a long time. It was not until the envoy ran out of patience that Cao Cao ordered someone to invite him into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Why did I ask you to come here?" Now Cao Cao controls the three states of Yan, Henan and Xu, with more than 300,000 troops under his command. Although he cannot compare with Yuan Shao, he can still compete with Liu Zhang. However, this is just the strength of the troops.

If we really calculate the superiority, Liu Zhang's army of more than 300,000 can definitely resist Cao Cao's army of 500,000! As for Yuan's army, even if it really has one million, it will be of little use!

"Mr. Cao, my lord is at war with Liu Zhang and I hope you can help me!" The envoy was very smart and did not play any tricks in front of Cao Cao.

"Will you ask for help at the beginning?" Cao Cao laughed loudly, feeling a bit gloating about his misfortune.

"My lord is friends with Duke Cao. Now that he is contacting heroes from all over to deal with Liu Zhang, it is not a request for help!" The envoy said with a smile: "My lord said that if Liu Zhang is defeated, Yizhou will be surrendered!"

"Benchu ​​has a good plan!" Cao Cao sneered: "Even if Liu Zhang is defeated, he will only lose Bingzhou. If he shrinks his defense line and retreats to Chang'an, Benchu ​​must not be able to do anything about it! Guanzhong has Weihan's stronghold, which was used by the Qin Dynasty in the past.

The terrain makes it hard to resist the six-nation coalition. Even if Liu Zhang really loses Chang'an, Yizhou won't be so easy to conquer! Benchu ​​is too generous. With just a piece of cake, you want the Prime Minister to send troops?"

"The conditions are set by my master. If you have any dissatisfaction with Mr. Cao, you can just say it!" The envoy smiled and said: "As the saying goes: if you ask for a high price, pay back on the spot. Doesn't Mr. Cao understand?"

"Sir, you are so eloquent!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Let's do this! If Liu Zhang is defeated, I am willing to cross the river with Benchu ​​to rule!"

"This..." The messenger lowered his head and pretended to think carefully for a while, then raised his head and said, "Okay!"

Cao Cao smiled and did not criticize the envoy. While Cao Cao was negotiating with the envoy, the same scene was played out in Xiangyang, Wuhuan Mountain, Jingzhou, and the court of the Huns!

Another half month later, basically all the envoys sent by Yuan Shao returned to Yangquan. Contrary to Yuan Shao's expectation, although Karasuma and the Xiongnu agreed to send troops, they only used part of their troops to help instead of sending out in full force. However, even so,

It was enough to restrain Liu Zhang's cavalry! Of course, Yuan Shao thought so.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Governor's Office.

After meeting Yuan Shao's envoy, Liu Biao hesitated for a long time before inviting Liu Bei. To be honest, Liu Biao still admired Liu Bei, his so-called fellow sect. After all, Liu Bei had grown up from a white body to where he is now. But Liu Biao admired Liu Bei again.

, and I don’t want to go against Liu Zhang. One is a natural genius, and the other is a genius who works hard. Most people will choose the natural genius, and Liu Biao is no exception!

"Brother Jingsheng called me here, what's the important thing?" Liu Bei knew that Liu Zhang had written to Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to kill him. But Liu Biao never took action, but his attitude was much colder. Speaking of which, Liu Biao was worthy of him.

Therefore, even though Liu Bei looked down on Liu Biao, he was still very respectful!

"Is Xuande still used to it in Xiaopei?" When Liu Biao opened his mouth, Liu Bei was startled. Liu Bei thought Liu Biao was planning to drive him out of Jingzhou!

"Get used to it! I'm so used to it!" Liu Bei didn't understand what Liu Biao meant and looked a little flustered.

Today, the world has been divided into five families, Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shao. Of course, Jiaozhi is too remote and has no development prospects, so it is not considered a prince. But although the world is big, if Liu Bei leaves Jingzhou, there will be no place to stand.

! Even if he barely survives, his ambition will not be realized.

"Just get used to it!" Liu Biao's mouth twitched. He was not as thick-skinned as Liu Bei. After a long silence, Liu Biao suddenly asked: "Xuande, do you hate the champion?"

"I...ahem..." Liu Bei picked up the tea bowl and was about to take a sip when Liu Biao's question made him choke. However, Liu Biao didn't want to hear Liu Bei's answer because he knew how Liu Bei would answer.

"Xuande! If there is a chance for you to defeat the champion, would you be willing?" Liu Biao threw out another big bait. Liu Bei's face turned red. He really didn't know how to answer, but Liu Biao was minding his own business again.

He said: "Yuan Benchu ​​is competing with the champion prince to merge the state, and he actually asked me to send troops. Although I have a strong army, I have no generals at my disposal. I wonder if Xuande is willing to go there?"

"This..." Liu Bei hesitated. Although he hated Liu Zhang, he did not dare to confront Liu Zhang. After all, there was a huge gap in strength, and not everyone dared to challenge a being stronger than himself.

"What? Xuande doesn't want to?" Liu Biao wanted to take the opportunity to drive Liu Bei out of Jingzhou, so he naturally wanted to force Liu Bei.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my little brother is weak and can't do anything..." Liu Bei began to cry again. If he had just come to Jingzhou, Liu Biao might have sympathized with him, but now Liu Biao has regarded him as the god of plague.

Liu Biao smiled and said: "No problem, I will support you with 50,000 elite troops!"

"This..." Liu Bei had long known that he could no longer stay in Jingzhou. Seeing that Liu Biao intended to send him to fight, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up and said: "Since brother wants me to help Yuan Shao, I will send troops from Nanjun to Shangyongjin."

Yizhou!”

"Okay!" Liu Biao was overjoyed. He didn't care what Liu Bei did, as long as Liu Bei left Jingzhou. Soon, 50,000 elite soldiers and money and food were ready. Liu Bei took the four generals of Wei Yan and led the army to Nanjun!

Sili, Hongnong.

In fact, Xiaoshan is not far from Jizhou, and Yuan Shao's two million stones of grain and grass were quickly transported. Looking at the carts of grain and grass entering the warehouse, Zhang Baiqi didn't know what he was thinking. However, Wulu, who was in charge of the grain and grass, was very happy.

.With this batch of food and grass, no one will starve to death in Huangjin Dazhai this winter!

When the last cart of grain and grass was transported into the village, Zhang Baiqi had a stern look on his face and just said: "We will discuss matters in the big tent" before leaving the grain depot. Everyone knew that he was preparing to send troops. In fact, even if Zhang Baiqi broke his promise, it would not count.

Yuan Shao had no time to trouble him if it was a big deal. Unfortunately, Zhang Baiqi was not a tyrant, he was very trustworthy. The mighty Yellow Turban Army set out from Xiaoshan and headed for Hangu Pass.

Liu Zhang stayed in Jinyang for a month and a half, but Yuan Shao was still reluctant to move, which made him very puzzled. Could it be that Yuan Shao had too much food and grass and went to Yangquan to consume food and grass? It must be unlikely!

"Alas!" Standing on the top of Jinyang City and looking out from a distance, Liu Zhang seemed to have seen the smoke of Yuci, and he couldn't help but sigh. The rise and fall of the people are suffering, so how can we create an immortal dynasty? As for communism and capitalism,

It was completely inconsistent with the productivity of the Han Dynasty. Even if it was forcibly created, it would not survive for a long time.

"Lord, there is news!" Guo Jia searched for a long time and finally found Liu Zhang.

"Say!" Seeing that Guo Jia came to him in such a hurry, Liu Zhang's face became very serious.

"Yuan Shao sent people to contact people everywhere to attack us. Now Cao Cao has accepted Yuan Shao's request and is preparing to send troops to Hulao Pass. Sun Jian is hesitating. However, Liu Biao seems to be showing signs of sending troops!" Guo Jia took out the information page by page.

When I read it to Liu Zhang, his face was extremely serious.

"Gather everyone together to discuss the matter in the conference hall!" After half of listening, Liu Zhang got a headache. Even Liu Biao was preparing to send troops, which meant that Chang'an might be unstable. Although Liu Biao was incompetent, his general Wenpin and adviser Kuai Yue were both

He is a character who is not easy to deal with.

In the meeting hall, Guo Jia told Yuan Shao's movements one by one, and everyone fell into deep thought. Even Jia Xu frowned. After a while, Zhou Yu suddenly asked: "Brother, Yuan Shao contacted Cao Cao, Liu Biao,

Sun Jian, will you contact foreigners?"

"This..." Everyone was stunned by Zhou Yu's words! Fortunately, Cao Cao and Liu Biao are still Han people. But to the Han people, most foreigners are not human!

"Probably not!" Zhang He, who was born in Jizhou, said with a smile: "The people in Jizhou are quite repulsive to foreigners. If Yuan Shao colludes with foreigners, will he still want to stay in Jizhou in the future?"

"No!" Jia Xu had a thorough understanding of human nature. He frowned and said: "With Yuan Shao's character, he will never care about the people. I dare say he will definitely collude with foreigners!"

"This..." Zhang He said in shock: "If this is the case, what should we do? Compared with Yuan's army, our army is already very different. If we add Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, and foreigners..."

Zhang He did not say any more, but everyone understood what he meant. The difference in strength was too great! However, even so, everyone's faces were solemn, but there was no worry or fear.

Liu Zhang thought for a while and asked: "Yuan Hao, back then I ordered you to gather the people of Bingzhou as close as possible to Jinyang. What is the population of the other counties in Bingzhou now?"

Tian Feng cupped his hands and said: "According to the Lord's wishes, except for Taiyuan County, other counties should try not to arrange population. Therefore, most counties in Bingzhou have no population. However, there are some people who covet the land without owners, and there are

Some aristocratic families are cultivating crops in Shangjun, Xihe and other places!"

"Okay!" Liu Zhang sneered and said, "Since the foreigners are coming, I will fortify the walls and clear the country! Yuan Hao, pass on the order. Within three days, except for the people of Taiyuan County, the people of other counties must gather in Jinyang. Of course, if you don't want to

Those who come to Jinyang can also go to Chang'an and Yizhou! If you don't want to leave and encounter foreign plunder when the time comes, don't blame me for not caring!"

"Yes!" The best way to deal with the enemy is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and when foreigners come to the Han Dynasty, they will most likely not bring too much food and grass. Although Jizhou is a big food-producing state, Yuan Shao's burden is already heavy.

If foreigners come to Bingzhou and cannot grab food, they will need Yuan Shao to provide for them. Having more soldiers is indeed an advantage, but it is also a burden.

"Lord, if we strengthen the walls and clear the country, Yangqu cannot be lost!" Fazheng pointed to the map and said: "Yangqu is the throat leading to Jinyang. If Yangqu is lost, foreigners can go straight into Jinyang to plunder the people."

Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Order Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua to lead troops to Meng County, Zhang He and Zhang Liao to station in Yangqu! The others will follow me to guard Jinyang and wait for Yuan Shao's troops to approach the city!"

"Yes!" Liu Zhang's order was issued, and everyone immediately carried out the order.

Yangqu City was on the verge of collapse after being beaten by Gao Lan. Zhang Liao and Zhang He moved in, reversing the situation. Standing at the top of the city, Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other. They were good friends, but they had to fight on the battlefield! However, neither of them spoke.
