On the eighth day of the third month of the second year of Xingping (195 AD).

An edict from the court spread throughout the world. There was a slander Yuan Shu who violated the emperor and detained the imperial envoy without authorization. The Supreme Court of the current dynasty, Ma Rizhen, was even more humiliated several times, causing Ma Rizhen to vomit blood and die of death and to die in a foreign land. The world was shaken and the emperor was furious.

Emperor Liu Xie urgently dispatched Lanchi's army of 30,000, claiming to be 50,000, and his troops were out of Yique Pass.

As soon as the edict was issued, all the princes in the world were shocked.

Jiyin, General's Mansion, Chen Gong hurriedly came in with an edict. He saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei honed his martial arts skills in the mansion. Since the last time the four fierce generals of Cao and Liu camp were tortured by Lu Bu, the two of them had been depressed for a long time. Later, they kept practicing martial arts hard. Guan Yu sat on the Spring and Autumn Festival every day and understood the sword skills from it. The Spring and Autumn Festival book was written by Guan Yu, but Guan Yu still felt that it was not enough.

Zhang Fei worked hard all day long and vowed to see him next time, and he would definitely compete with Lu Bu.

Seeing Chen Gong come in, the two stopped fighting, put away their weapons, saluted Chen Gong slightly and said, "Military advisor, you are here."

"The two generals are polite." Chen Gong nodded, but turned his head and looked around and said, "Where is the lord?"

"The eldest brother is in the study and discussing matters with Zhang Miao." Guan Yu pointed to the direction of the study and frowned and said, "The military advisor is in a hurry, but is there something important happening?"

"A big event." Chen Gong said in a deep voice, without explaining much, and took the edict to the study room.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and followed him in. No matter what major matters Liu Bei had, he would not hide it from his brothers, so there was no taboo.

In the study, Liu Bei was discussing the matter of borrowing grain with Zhang Miao. Last year, after resigning with Cao Cao, a locust plague occurred in Yanzhou. Not long after, the grains and grains were not collected, but they were almost the same. Now, the food and grass in the treasury are not enough to continue to help the people. Therefore, Liu Bei asked Zhang Miao to discuss asking families to borrow grain to preserve the vitality of the three counties. Otherwise, not to mention the people, even the general's mansion would be almost out of the pot.

"The Gongtai is coming." Seeing Chen Gong come in, Liu Bei's eyes lit up. Chen Gong has a lot of contact with the Yingchuan family. He took this opportunity to invite Chen Gong to Yingchuan and borrow some food to solve the urgent problem.

"Lord, I just received the imperial edict." Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice after seeing Zhang Miao.

"Oh?" Liu Bei asked everyone to sit down while hearing this, "What happened?"

"Yuan Shu killed the three dukes with trembling, which shocked the court and furious the emperor. As if my troops had already left Yique Pass today, I was ready to attack Yuan Shu." Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"Yuan Shu rebel, how dare you do this?" After hearing Chen Gong's explanation, Liu Bei couldn't help but frown, "That's the third duke. Isn't Yuan Shu doing this like this equal to slapping the court in the face?"

Then he frowned and said, "I often heard that Yuan Shu has strong troops and has 200,000 troops under his command. However, the court only released 50,000 troops this time. Is it too much..."

Zhang Miao looked at Chen Gong: "Have your Majesty ever called on all the princes in the world to fight against Yuan Shu?"

"Never!" Chen Gong shook his head.

"This..." Zhang Miao was shocked. He was only a 50,000 army, and the 50,000 might be an imaginary number. He wanted to deal with Yuan Shu, who had an army of 200,000. Was the emperor overestimated his abilities? Could it be that he really thought that Yuan Shu would sit and wait for death?

"More importantly, in this battle, the emperor will lead the army to fight in person!" Chen Gong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"What!?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Is the emperor crazy?

Zhang Miao frowned and wanted Liu Bei to bow and said, "Empress, this is a good opportunity given by God. It is the time when our army sends troops!"

"This..." Liu Bei was a little troubled, and he also wanted to send troops, but because of the lack of food and supplies, how could he send troops?

"Your instructors don't have to worry about food and grass. You have already contacted the Chen family in Yingchuan to get in touch. You can help you to help you with 200,000 stones of food and fodder for military funds!" Zhang Miao said with a smile.

"In this way, a big thing can be accomplished!" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. Zhang Miao had said he had to consider many difficulties before, but he agreed so happily this time. Although Liu Bei was a little unhappy, he didn't care about too much.

"Just~" Guan Yu frowned and said, "The emperor did not order the princes of the world to attack Yuan Shu, and his brother sent troops without authorization, which was incompatible with the righteousness!"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't say anything, his face looked a little bad. Chen Gong hurriedly smiled and said, "The second general is wrong!"

Looking at Guan Yu's puzzled gaze, Chen Gong smiled and said, "Yuan Shu violated the emperor and detained the three dukes privately and killed the Taiwei. This is a matter of anger between the human and the gods. Although Your Majesty has not said it clearly, Yuan Shu's evil has already violated the public's anger. Everyone in the world can be punished. If Your Majesty has enough troops this time, we don't have to do anything. However, Your Majesty has only less than 50,000 people. How can you fight against Yuan Shu? What's more, the lord is a relative of the Han Dynasty and a relative of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty dies this time, how can you sit idly by?"

Liu Bei also smiled and said, "We are not going to intervene in this time, but I just hope to restrain Yuan Shu's troops and prevent him from fighting with His Majesty with all his strength!"

"This..." Guan Yu nodded silently when he heard this. Even if Lu Bu was so fierce, he would be a little reluctant to fight against Yuan Shu's 200,000 troops. Hearing this, he agreed to everyone's decision.

"Public platform, I don't know where the troops should be sent here?" After dealing with Guan Yu, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Chen Gong excitedly. This was a good opportunity to expand his territory.

"Although the governor of Yuzhou Guo Gong was a minister of Yuan Shu, he was not trusted by Yuan Shu. He only had the position of governor of Yuzhou, but he had no reality as governor. His military power was controlled by Yuan Shu and he was not free. He had long been betrayed. It was just because of loyalty and righteousness. The envoy could send troops to Yingchuan this time. If he could take advantage of this place, the lord's power would be prosperous, and he would not have to be afraid of Cao Cao in the future." Chen Gong smiled.

"Guo Gong and I have great help. Isn't it unjust to attack each other rashly?" Liu Bei frowned.

"No!" Chen Gong shook his head and smiled, "Guo Gong had the intention to serve his lord, but he didn't have the opportunity. This time Yuan Shu was invading the enemy, and it was the time to escape from Yuan Shu. The lord only needed to fight in Yingchuan, and he would definitely make Guo Gong turn against him. How could he say something unrighteous?" Chen Gong smiled and comforted.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was silent for a moment and sighed: "Let me tell the public station that if Guo Gong is unwilling to surrender, Bei will never force each other!"

"Don't worry, lord." Chen Gong and Zhang Miao looked at each other, nodded with a smile and said.

Yanzhou, Juancheng.

Cao Cao was playing chess with Xun Yu. Since Liu Bei's affairs, Cao Cao returned to Juancheng, quickly eliminated the opposition forces of various counties, and sorted out the kings of Yanzhou again. Although he lost the three counties of Jiyin, Chenliu and Dongjun, his control over his rule was even better than before. Cao Cao was ready to use troops to Xuzhou in the next year, and use Xuzhou as his own rear, and then he then sent troops to Yanzhou to completely destroy Liu Bei's big-eared child to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Old Tao Qian, our army has already been brave enough to use troops again. We should go down in one go, and we must not create any more details!" Cao Cao put a chess piece into the chessboard, but his mind was thinking about the matter in Xuzhou. Although judging from the information from Xuzhou, Tao Qian was already in danger, but the revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable, he was not prepared to avenge the revenge of killing his father and let God avenge himself.

"My morale in our army has been restored. Now Yuan Shao has begun to station troops in the Gaotang generation. Qingzhou Taishi Ci is afraid that he has no time to look south. It is the time when the lord sends troops!" Xun Yu smiled and dropped a white piece, looking at Cao Cao and said, "But lord, you seem to have lost."

"Uh~" Cao Cao looked at the chessboard, but saw that his big dragon was about to accomplish something, but he didn't want to be left behind by Xun Yu's son, and it was cut off. It seemed like a piece of chess, but it was a decisive move. After one piece of chess, the originally scattered whites were immediately connected, and the beginning and end corresponded. At this time, it was difficult to restore the overall situation.

Cao Cao looked at it for a while, and admitted defeat, shook his head and said, "The difference between one son, the victory and the loss are determined. If the literary skills are as good as chess, I will not be able to do it."

Xun Yu smiled and shook his head: "The lord has distracting thoughts and it is difficult to devote himself to the chess game."

Cao Cao smiled and was about to speak, but he heard a series of footsteps and remembered that Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, who looked sick, walked in quickly. Cheng Yu also carried an edict in his hand and shouted from afar: "Lord, a big deal!"

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.

"The emperor's edict!" Cheng Yu handed the edict in his hand to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Cao Cao took the edict and opened it to see it.

"Yuan Shu?" After reading the edict, Cao Cao finished the edict and handed it over to Xun Yu on the side, sneered and shook his head and said, "Does he really think he is invincible in the world?"

"Although Yuan Shu is incompetent, he is in Runan and Nanyang, with 200,000 troops, and can recruit troops at any time. If it is really urgent, he can mobilize an army of 300,000 and not underestimate it." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice.

"The dry bones in the tomb!" Cao Cao shook his head and sneered.

"However, although the emperor claimed to have 50,000 soldiers to the outside world, I think that at most 30,000 soldiers, with this force, it is probably difficult to shake Yuan Shu's foundation." Xun Yu shook his head and said.

"Wen Ruo's words are wrong!" Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "Sometimes the military strength may not be equivalent to combat power. Although the emperor has few soldiers, Guanzhong is the most important rule, and the army is even more prohibited. On the other hand, although Yuan Shu has strong soldiers, he has many factions and is scattered in various places. It is impossible for all to be on the battlefield. Yuan Shu may not win in this battle. Today, he is not easy to be with him. Since he dares to send troops, he will have a chance of winning."

While gathering the chess pieces, Cao Cao nodded. Liu Xie's performance over the past two years is indeed not a mediocre person, and there are also powerful ministers and generals around him. On the other hand, Yuan Shu, in addition to the large number of soldiers, was surrounded by a group of flatterers. Not to mention super powerful generals like Lu Bu, even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, were more than the group of wine bags around Yuan Shu.

"Why did the emperor not summon the princes of the world to help me?" Cao Cao suddenly frowned and looked at Xi Zhicai beside him.

"Your Majesty wants to regain his majesty and is about to show the strength of the court in this battle. How could he allow the princes to intervene?" Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled.
