Han Dao world

Chapter 382

Zhang He bowed to express his thanks, but the expression on his face was still calm. There was no trace of excitement, let alone tears of gratitude.

Yuan Shao's high mood just now fell down again, feeling irritable in his heart.

He kind of missed Guo Tu.

Ever since Guo Tu accompanied Yuan Tan to Youzhou, many people from Ruying also followed, including Xun Chen who had disappeared for a long time.Without the check and balance of the Ruying people, the Jizhou people have become more powerful and take everything for granted.

The siege of Dongwuyang for so long has nothing to do with the fact that the generals of Jizhou were unwilling to pay too much for a strong attack.

There is no shortcut to siege.Now that Zang Hong has the will to die, the generals have no desire to win quickly, how can they defeat the enemy and win.

One person must die, and ten people cannot be the same, not to mention that Zang Hong still has a city wall to lean on.

How can the generals of Jizhou go all out to quickly break through Dongwuyang?

Yuan Shao thought over and over again, but had no countermeasures.

He closed his eyes.

Zhang He tactfully withdrew from the big tent, and closed the tent door, leaving only a crack in case he was called.

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then slowly opened them, turned over and sat up.

He had an idea and sent someone to invite Fengji.

"Yuantu, I want to recruit Liu Bei and Cao Cao to help."

After thinking about it for a moment, Feng Ji felt that it was feasible.

After taking Dongwuyang, Yuan Shao must cross the south of the river, and sooner or later he will have to fight Liu Bei and Cao Cao.Now recruiting Liu Bei and Cao Cao to help, in addition to beating the Jizhou people so that they don't be too self-righteous, they can also test Liu Bei and Cao Cao.If they are willing to come, everyone will be happy.If they refuse to come, they are the enemy, and there will be a reason to attack in the future.

Satisfied with Fengji's support, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Chen Lin to draft an order.

After the order was written, Yuan Shao looked through it, and took out the seal of the Marquis of Beixiang from the seal pouch at his waist, ready to use it.

Chen Lin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

Yuan Shao glanced at Chen Lin, and wanted to ask Chen Lin what he wanted to say, but when the words came to his lips, he subconsciously swallowed them back, and held the Hou Township seal made of white jade in the palm of his hand, it hurt so badly.

He used to write "an imperial edict" in the prefectures and counties, and used the seal of the Hou of the township to show that he was acting on behalf of the emperor. He did not recognize the emperor in Chang'an, thinking that he was a puppet controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si.

Now Li Jue and Guo Si are dead, and the emperor is in Anyi to set up his capital, and he is clearly called the Bohai prefect in the issued edict.It would be inappropriate for him to act on behalf of the imperial edict.Liu Bei and Cao Cao are willing to listen to him, so there is no problem.If you don't want to, it's tantamount to sending the evidence of the crime to the other party, at least it's self-inflicted humiliation.

After the emperor's great victory in northern Xinjiang, the court's prestige will inevitably increase, and more people will turn to support the emperor.

"Kong Zhang, what do you mean?"

Chen Lin's face was pale, and she reluctantly bowed her hands to salute. "Liu Bei is not in trouble, but Cao Cao is really hard to guess. Zang Hong rebelled, and it was originally Cao Cao who slaughtered Yongqiu. Now the lord is besieging Dongwuyang, but Cao Cao is standing still and watching the success or failure. It really doesn't seem to be the same as the lord."

Yuan Shao's cheeks twitched and his teeth chattered.

He regrets it.

If I had known today, I should not have sent troops to reinforce Cao Cao and drive away Lu Bu. I should have watched Lu Bu kill Cao Cao before making a move.

Lu Bu is a lone wolf, and it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in Yanzhou.

After Yuan Shao weighed it, he decided not to give Cao Cao a chance.He wrote a private letter to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to lead his troops to reinforce him.Then he issued an imperial edict to Liu Bei, ordering Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou soldiers to help out.

-

When Liu Bei received Yuan Shao's edict, he had just received Zhao Yun's letter.

Zhao Yun's letter came very quickly, it took less than twenty days from Meiji to reach Liu Bei.

After asking about the messenger's itinerary, Liu Bei realized a problem: the imperial court may lack everything now, except horses.From Meiji to Hanoi, it is almost [-] miles in an urgent manner. It is only after entering Yanzhou that the speed slows down. The daily journey is only more than [-] miles.

Liu Bei really wanted to know more information about northern Xinjiang, but the messenger might not be clear about it, or he might not want to say it, so he simply said something and then kept silent.

Even so, Liu Bei was shocked by the news of the great victory of the Son of Heaven.

Conquering with [-] cavalry and defeating [-] people in Xianbei and Huns, even with the cooperation of Ma Teng and Han Sui, it is still an unimaginable record.

What made Liu Bei even more helpless was that Zhao Yun rushed to Meiji to join the army. As soon as he met, he was worshiped by the emperor as a regular servant of the Sanqi, and he was in charge of the left part of the Sanqi.

The cavalry general he was thinking of became the emperor's right-hand man.

No matter how much he valued Zhao Yun, it would be impossible for him to take Zhao Yun under his command again.In turn, Zhao Yun persuaded him to submit to the court.

Liu Bei was very conflicted, so he called Jian Yong, Chen Qun, and Chen Deng successively to discuss.

Jian Yong agreed with Zhao Yun's opinion.

Yuan Shao is about to go south to the Central Plains.If it weren't for Zang Hong's solid defense, Yuan Shao would have crossed the river long ago, and the tiger looked down on Yanyu Qingxu.Liu Bei lived in Xuzhou as a guest, so he was not Yuan Shao's opponent at all.Instead of being a minister to Yuan Shao, it is better to be a minister to the court.

When Lu Bu returned to the court, he could be reused by the emperor, so naturally Liu Bei could too.

Chen Qun's attitude was very ambiguous.

He neither objected nor approved, but just reminded Liu Bei.The reason why the emperor relies heavily on Han Sui and Ma Teng is because Han Sui and Ma Teng have a lot of powerful people. What do you have that the emperor can rely on?Just rely on Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and those thousand miscellaneous Husbands?

Liu Bei was embarrassed.

Although he is Xuzhou Mu, his own strength is very limited. There are only more than a thousand miscellaneous Hu cavalry, and the rest are either Tao Qian's old troops mainly composed of Danyang soldiers, or Xuzhou local troops.If he leaves Xuzhou, these people will not go north with him.

Lü Bu had few soldiers and had nowhere to stand, so he had to leave.He is Xuzhou Mu, and he has the support of Xuzhou people, why should he abandon this hard-earned strength and go to the emperor.

What can the emperor give him?
Chen Deng also opposed Liu Bei's leaving Xuzhou, but for different reasons.

He believed that although the Son of Heaven had defeated the Xianbei people, there was still a long way to go before the complete stability of the Northwest.In the short term, the emperor has no time to take care of Kanto.Instead of leaving Xuzhou to go to Bingzhou, Liu Bei would rather stay in Xuzhou, echoing the emperor from afar, and be able to serve the court as well.

The simplest reason is that if Liu Bei leaves Xuzhou, Xuzhou is likely to fall into the hands of Yuan Shu.

Just when Liu Bei was hesitating, Chen Qun inquired another message from the messenger: Although Lu Bu made great achievements, he made a mistake again, was dismissed from office, and was thinking behind closed doors.

After hearing the news, Liu Bei completely gave up the idea of ​​proclaiming himself a minister to the court.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's "edict" arrived.

Facing Yuan Shao's edict asking him to help out, Liu Bei scratched his head, but Chen Deng was very active.

Chen Deng believed that Yuan Shao had besieged Dongwuyang for so long but failed to break through the city. It should be that the generals of Jizhou preserved their strength and were unwilling to pay too many casualties.If Liu Bei can lead his troops to help out, he can not only help Yuan Shao, but also have a chance to rescue Zang Hong.

Zang Hong is from Guangling, whose father is the famous general Zang Min, who is very famous in Xuzhou.And Zang Hong's revenge for the county general Zhang Chao is a righteous act.Rescuing Zang Hong will not only help Liu Bei win over the hearts of Xuzhou, but also get a general.

Being able to stand against Yuan Shao's army for so long, Zang Hong's ability is beyond doubt.

In addition, there is another advantage to responding to Yuan Shao's order: entering Yanzhou in a legitimate way, and avenging Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou.

Liu Bei thought so, and immediately assembled his troops, with Chen Deng as the vanguard.

In order to prevent Yuan Shu from attacking when he was reinforcing Yuan Shao, he ordered Guan Yu to lead his troops to guard Guangling.
