The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

The autumn wind in the north is as strong as white wine, without a trace of warmth, but poured into the neck and cavity in large quantities.

Indiscriminately, with the cold damp after the snow melts and the imminent autumn wind, it directly conveys the message that winter is coming.Qiufeng is straightforward, honest, and fierce.Perhaps climate does have a certain influence on human character.

The autumn wind in the north is purely sweet, without aftertaste, without a mixture of sweet and delicious, just blindly sweet, rustling and rough sweet.The lines of the wind are tough.For example, the stalwart figure of a northern man has nothing to do with delicacy.

When the wind picked up, it rolled up the dead leaves and the dust on the ground, still wrapping people's clothes tightly.

Yiji, who was walking on Beishang Avenue, watched the weather in the north of the sky while walking.

He wore a fox fur cloak to withstand the cold wind in the north. Although Yi was from Jingzhou, he had lived in the south for a long time, so he had never experienced such a refreshing autumn.

He looked back at the soldiers guarding him, and then at the road ahead, it was so long and he started to feel a little melancholy.

Going to Hebei to persuade Yuan Shao is really not easy. When he was in Jingzhou, Yi Ji had always heard that Yuan Shao had many advisers. The civil servants were Tian Feng, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, Ju Shou and dozens of advisers. Military generals are even more superfluous, like Hebei famous generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Qiong Yuqiong, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals with thousands of yuan. Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and their relatives and high-ranking officers all led one hundred thousand troops each, and Yuan Shao commanded more than one million troops. I started thinking about things like this along the way.

In this way, I always thought of Yecheng, the capital of Yuan Shao's Hebei rule.

Looking at the majestic city wall and the "Yuan" flag fluttering in the wind, Yi Ji had no choice but to admire Yuan Shao's great talent. If Yuan Shao really didn't have the ability, at that time, the boys in Luoyang City would not have fought alone After the sword came out, in just a few short years, he was able to capture Bohai County, annex the entire Jizhou, then go south to Kong Rong to occupy Qingzhou, and defeated the Xiongnu cavalry in Taiyuan to occupy Bingzhou. The white horse from righteousness.

The hero was melancholy, but Yiji still walked slowly towards the city gate.

At this time, a man dressed as a civil official came to greet him at the gate of the city.

Yiji saw that it was Xu You, Yuan Shao's counselor, and before Yiji got off his horse, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu Youyuan joined the army in Jizhou and welcomes you."

Yi Ji saw that Xu You had greeted him with a smile, so he immediately jumped off his horse, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "Xu Canjun, I'm just a commoner, how can you receive such a big gift from Mr."

"Mister is a well-known scholar in Jingzhou. No one in the world knows it. I came to meet Mr. on behalf of my lord. Sir please, sir please."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Sir, go to the station to rest first, and tomorrow, my lord will hold a meeting hall in the General's Mansion in Yecheng to welcome you."

Yiji went to the post station alone for a day off. On the second day, when he was three poles high, Yiji walked into the General's Mansion under the guidance of Xu You.

Walking on the steps of the Grand General's Mansion, Yiji saw towering palaces, all kinds of strangely shaped buildings, such as the dragon-tiger buildings with flying dragons flying in the sky, and the leisurely nine-dragon play with pearls...everywhere. It shows a domineering king, and there are all kinds of atmosphere everywhere.

Yi Ji couldn't help sighing: "What a great general's mansion, it really is full of grandeur."

Xu You said with a smile: "Mr. Yiji, do you have the air of a king in Jizhou? Do you feel a kind of dominance in Jizhou?"

Yi Ji smiled and said: "Xu Canjun, hegemony lies in the hearts of the people, not in the palace. The Xianyang city of the Qin Empire was so magnificent, but it was burned to ashes by Xiang Yu. The reputation of the overlord is known to everyone in the world. But in just four years, the overlord killed himself in Wujiang. It was my emperor Gaozu who established the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty. But Ren Xin Han still won the world again."

Xu You smiled and said, at first he wanted to argue about something, but suddenly a civil servant came over and shouted, "Gentlemen, the general is waiting for you inside?"

Xu You could only smile and said, "Sir, we invite you." "Please."

In the process of giving way to each other, the two sides entered the hall one after the other.

Entering the main hall, Yi Ji entered the main hall, and suddenly felt serious and solemn.

Yi Ji only felt that the light from the armor of the military commander was enough to dazzle his eyes, and the majesty of the civil servants could make his calm and affectionate suddenly become nervous.

Yi Ji hurriedly straightened his clothes, then took a deep breath, and walked into the hall unhurriedly with square steps.

Yiji, who walked into the hall, saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar holding a long sword on the high seat in the center, with his back facing the gate, and Yiji was also on his back.

Yi Ji walked forward two steps and said: "The king of Chu will consult with Yi Ji to see the general."

"General, King Chu?"

Yuan Shao, who had just turned around slowly, asked with a feeling of displeasure.

Yi Ji replied unhurriedly: "General is the respectful title everyone gives to you, and King Chu is supported by our [-] soldiers from Jingzhou and Xiliang. Such titles are natural."

"What a sophistry, you are right. Let me ask you, what is your purpose for coming here this time."

Yiji bowed and said: "I am here this time under the order of my family, the King of Chu, to form an alliance with the general and jointly deal with Cao Cao."

At this time, Yuan Tan stood up first in the main hall and said: "I have a million armors in Jizhou. Do I want to cooperate with you in fighting a small Cao Cao? As long as we charge the whole army, we can grind Cao Cao into powder and use it I don't need to cooperate with you."

At this time, Yan Liang stood up again and said, "Yes, the eldest son is right. We don't need the help of outsiders. We can destroy Cao Cao by ourselves."

Wen Chou stood up and echoed Dao, and the rest of the civil servants were also the main fighters, and they stood up to cooperate with Dao and refused to cooperate with the King of Chu.

The other civil servants and generals also began to argue with each other. At this time, Yuan Shao snapped the sword that had been returned to the scabbard and pressed it on the big case. Everyone in Yuan Shao's affairs should stop talking.

Then, Yuan Shao asked: "Listen to your opinion, sir, how do you plan to share with us equally."

"General, my lord, I plan to encircle Xuchang with you, and then we will divide the border from Xuchang City, put the north under the general's tent, and the south will be the territory of the King of Chu, can the general see it?" "Why do you talk to me?" What about me? I have millions of armour, and horses have built mountains, but what do you have, your troops are only around [-], and your Jingzhou has just been captured, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"General, although our army has few soldiers and horses, our army is all elite. The general of our army, General Lu Bu, won three passes a day. Our vanguard general, Zhao Yun, resisted Cao Cao's 30 main force alone, and he was able to drag it steadily. Half a month is enough to show the strength of our army."

"Since you are so powerful, why are you uniting with us?"

At this moment, Tian Feng was standing on the seat, and even cast his wink at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao could see that his first counselor was winking at him. He felt that this matter was definitely not a small matter, and then he stood up slowly and said : "Sir, please wait in the side hall first, we will discuss it with all the civil servants and generals, what do you think?"

"Okay, General, I will wait for your news in the side hall."

After everyone watched Yi Ji retreat slowly, Yuan Shao sat down safely and said, "Let's talk about it, everyone!"

At this time, the judge was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, I still say the same thing. I don't agree with our army and the king of Chu. The so-called king of Chu is self-proclaimed. He doesn't want to cooperate with us at all. Now Cao Cao The army is concentrated in Huainan, but we can send a large army thousands of miles to attack Xuchang. Once we occupy Xuchang, the Central Plains will be settled."

Xu You stood up and echoed, "Your Excellency, it is indeed a trick, but I would like to add that after we occupied Xuchang, we sent a large army again to wait for the two armies to fight for our left hand."

Yan Liang was the first to stand up and said: "The last general is willing to be a vanguard army and is willing to lead his troops thousands of miles to attack Xuchang."

Then Wen Chou, Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, and counselors Zhong Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others also stepped forward and chose to attack Xuchang thousands of miles away, but they did not agree to join forces with the King of Chu.

At this moment, Yuan Shao turned his attention to Tian Feng, his number one counselor, and saw that all the counselors and generals were discussing, but there was only one person who did not speak and that was Tian Feng.

Yuan Shao asked: "Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

Tian Feng straightened his clothes, then stood up and said: "My lord, everyone, we must unite with this King of Chu now. Although Cao Cao's 30 main force has been left in Huainan, Xuchang City is relatively empty now, but we can see It will take about ten days for us to attack Xuchang with the fastest cavalry, and we are not the cavalry of the Huns and cannot continue to fight. Cao Jun can return in only three days, and our army will fall into an extremely stalemate by then, located in the Huainan area The King of Chu's army will not wait to chase and kill them, because they also have to watch from the sidelines, and the rest is for us to fight with Cao Jun. Once we unite with the King of Chu, the King of Chu will be able to attack Cao Jun with us on both sides, and we will fight together. Under the alliance Xuchang city, once we occupy the northern land, we will become the number one vassals in the world, are you still afraid that the world will be injustice?"

"Okay, great, no loss, my number one adviser, seeing things from a high perspective."

As soon as Yuan Shao said yes, some of the arrogant generals and counselors began to echo Yuan Shao's words, and some began to follow Tian Feng's idea, and the opinion of the king of Chu, who was united in an instant, became the mainstream .

"Okay, let's fight the King of Chu." Yuan Shao was the first to raise his long sword and shouted.
